Vol 3 Chapter 61: Kings Cup semifinals

Before the start of Real Madrid's home game against Granada, Tang Zheng showed his FIFA Golden Globe trophy in front of more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans. Dust √ Fate × Literature? Study × Net
"Aoao--"
Deafening huge cheers quickly swept the audience.
Tang Zheng enjoyed this feeling, especially when the fans were chanting his name.
This feeling is even stronger than ML.
In the next game, Real Madrid won Granada with a pass from Tang Zheng in the second half.
Three days later, Real Madrid once again sit at home Bernabeu against the Spaniards in the second round of the 2013-2014 La Liga Cup quarter-finals.
The final score was the same as the first round, 1: 0, a very economical score. The only goal scored by the audience was Cristiano Ronaldo, and the assist was Tang Zheng.
Two rounds total score of 2: 0 eliminated the Spaniards, very close to the semi-finals.
After the second round of the quarter-finals of the King ’s Cup, the time came to February and went to the first round of the 2013-2014 season at the end of the month. There were six games.
Four league games and two Kings Cup semifinals.
On the second day, the quarter-finals of the King's Cup 2013-2014 season came to an end, and the La Liga League conducted a draw for the semi-finals.
Of the four teams that entered the semifinals, two were from Madrid, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and the other two were Barcelona and Real Sociedad.
Apart from the Royal Society, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are all popular choices for the league championships, and the Kings Cup match is not the same.
However, the three teams entering the semi-finals also means that at least one of them will withdraw from the 2013-2014 King's Cup competition.
The draw of the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey soon ended, Real Madrid VS Atletico Madrid, Barcelona VS Real Society.
In order to make way for the World Cup, the league schedules of all major European leagues and domestic cup schedules have been squeezed. At the same time, in order to ensure that the three teams in La Liga can go further in the Champions League, the La Liga League will 2013-2014 season Kings Cup semi-finals Arranged before the first round of the Champions League 1/8 finals.
The time is scheduled to take place at 7:00 pm on February 5/6 local time and 8:00 pm on February 12/13 local time in Spain.
That is, after the 22nd round of La Liga in the 2013-2014 season, Real Madrid visited San Mames Stadium to challenge the Basque Lions Athletic Bilbao.
Considering that next week is the first leg of the semi-finals of the King's Cup against Atletico Madrid, Ancelotti's Real Madrid lineup has reservations and did not send all the main force.
After ninety minutes of fierce battle, Real Madrid, who should have won, almost encountered a serious block at the San Mames Stadium. If Ramos scored a golden header in the injury time of the whole game, Real Madrid was very good. It is possible to lose on the road.
At the same time, another game broke out, and Barcelona lost to Valencia 2: 3 at Camp Nou.
The next day, Atlético Madrid took home the Calderon Stadium against Real Société 4-0 to take advantage of their opponents.
When the 22 rounds of the league ended, Atletico Madrid won the league first with a three-point win at home. Real Madrid ranked second with a difference of two points. Barcelona lost four points behind Atletico Madrid and two points behind Real Madrid due to their loss in this round.
So Barcelona, ​​who lost unexpectedly at home this round, was criticized by the Catalan local media, especially coach Martino.
The Catalan local media believes that his skills and tactics are not suitable for the current Barcelona, ​​because he hopes that Barcelona's traditional Titi-Taka will be more concise and practical, but the reform is not successful.
Facing the weaker team can play content, but once faced with the strong team, suddenly speed up the rhythm of the play can not always keep up with the opponent's rhythm.
Barcelona ’s Tiki-Taka tactic was originally to boil the frog in warm water. It was obviously not realistic to change it from first gear to fifth gear. It lost 1-2 at home to Real Madrid, 0-0 away at Atletico Madrid, and lost to 2: 3 at home. Valencia is the best evidence.
In fact, in the final analysis, it was Harvey's old troubles. His role in the midfield was so great that he was not very comfortable playing in his absence.
Alexander Song, Iniesta, Busquets, Messi have tried, and the results are not very satisfactory.
In addition to the Catalan local media shelling Martino's coaching ability, the Madrid media supporting Real Madrid are also muddy, hoping to affect Barcelona.
After all, one less competition and less, there is one more hope of winning the championship.
Whether it is the league level, or the King's Cup level.
But the next schedule is not very good for Real Madrid, in addition to the home and guest scenes against Atletico Madrid's King's Cup semi-final, they will also meet Villarreal's challenge at home.
The next two opponents deal well, Getafe and Elche.
Only then began the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals this season, away from Gelsenkirchen's representative team Schalke 04, which is the enemy of the Ruhr Derby during Tang Zheng played in Dortmund.
After that, it was the Madrid Derby.
According to the schedule, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will have three direct confrontations in just one month.
In other words, the outcome of the three games this season will directly affect the King's Cup Championship and League Championship.
It is hard to ignore any team in the semi-finals of the King's Cup, so whether it is Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, they will send the main force to fight for glory.
Leaving aside the King's Cup semi-finals, the Madrid Derby is not tolerable for both sides, especially now that Atletico Madrid is not the same as Wuxia Amon.
At present, Atletico Madrid, under the training of Simone, can break the wrist with Real Madrid and Barcelona.
In the seventh round of La Liga this season, Atletico Madrid took away a victory at the Bernabeu Stadium.
※※※
At 7:00 pm on February 5th, local time in Spain, Real Madrid sat at the Bernabeu Stadium to face Atletico Madrid, the first round of the Kings Cup semi-finals.
As Atletico Madrid won the game in the seventh round of the league this season, Ancelotti made some modifications to the lineup at home.
Considering the oppression of Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid's midfield configuration is inclined to transmit, that is, the midfielder who is known for his foot skills.
Xavi Alonso, Modric, Tang Zheng and Isco sit in the midfield, the goalkeeper uses Diego Lopez in the domestic league, and the defenders are still Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe and Carvajal.
Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo are at the front of the line.
Although the official formation is four, four, two, it is not known whether the four, four, two formation will eventually be formed.
The Bernabéu Stadium, which can accommodate 81,000 fans, was full. Real Madrid fans wearing white jerseys and Atletico Madrid fans in red and white shirts at a glance, Jinghe clearly distinguished.
Of course, there are more Real Madrid fans at home than Atletico fans.
From the first second of the game, Atletico Atletico used their magic weapon to defeat La Liga in the past two seasons-oppression at the audience!
Harvey Alonso and Modric teamed up with double backs, Tang Zheng played in the middle, and the iron triangle formed by them made a tacit understanding of the position. The Atletico Madrid's full-field oppression had little effect on them.
However, in order to prevent the football from being snatched away, Real Madrid players don't pass much forward, more are the transfer of midfield and midfield.
Successive waves of robbery have not encountered football, Atletico's oppression has slowed down.
Obviously, program B is started.
Real Madrid's response was within the expectation of Simoni in front of the visiting coach, so Atletico's operation was not affected in any way.
Anyway, the way they are good at is quick counterattack, and it is easier to keep the formation stable when retiring to half-court defense.
So Real Madrid's offense seems smooth, but it rarely threatens the goal guarded by Courtois.
The young Belgian goalkeeper who has been loaned to Atletico Madrid at the age of 19 has been performing consistently, and this season is even more stunning.
Atletico can be the team with the fewest goals in La Liga, which is directly related to his stable and experienced performance.
Tang Zheng was also closely guarded by the Atletico midfielder four in the offense, which allowed him to be separated from other offensive Real Madrid offensive players, especially his connection with Isco and Cristiano Ronaldo.
It is not difficult to see that Tang Zheng's mentor Simone spent a lot of energy before the game to study his proudest disciples to date.
Xavi Alonso and Modric both have very strong offensive abilities, but Atletico retired at halftime and chose to almost give up the offense, leaving Real Madrid with extremely limited offensive space, so Xavi Alonso and Modri Qi's attack on Real Madrid can only play a role in diversification of attack points.
In addition, Ancelotti is worried about Atletico's quick counterattack. He requires players on the court to not attack too unscrupulously, especially the players with defensive functions must not go above the head, otherwise there may be no goals ahead. The situation of conceding the ball first.
The game continued until twenty minutes before the two sides contributed an attack that directly threatened the goal.
It was not Real Madrid who played the threat at home, but Atlético Madrid as a guest. Diego Costa suddenly grabbed the ball from the foot of Ramos to Xavi Alonso near the mid-circle arc and then drove in.
Fortunately, Ramos could make a mistake. He hit the ball when Diego Costa shot, and the goalkeeper Diego Lopez hit the post on the right side of the goal with the goalkeeper Diego Lopez surrendered. Pepe insurance kicked the bottom line.
With this dangerous situation, Real Madrid's attack has become more cautious.
In the absence of Modric and Harvey Alonso's support, Tang Zheng seemed helpless, plus his connection with Isco and Cristiano Ronaldo was cut, except for the threat of personal ability.
But football is a team sport, especially in this top-level contest, it is difficult to play a decisive role by virtue of personal ability.
However, there is no absolute in everything, and many of the goals in the key games are determined by the star's flash.
Real Madrid is never short of stars, but the flash of stars is not common.
Even Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng, who are in the sky, are hard to shine often.
So when the whistle sounded at the end of the first half of the game, the score was still 0: 0.
In the second half of the game, both sides did not make any adjustments. They still played according to the starting lineup in the first half.
Atletico Madrid are still low-key, giving up the initiative.
Under such circumstances, Real Madrid can only choose to attack ‘passively’ and look for Atletico ’s defensive loopholes.
However, the midfield composed of Turan, Gabi, Tiago, and Cork is full of hardness, and everyone has a strong coverage, ample physical strength, and a tough style. It is easier for Real Madrid players to control the ball near the midfield However, once they enter the Atletico defensive area of ​​35 meters, they will be tough defended.
Diego Costa not only helped Atletico in scoring, but also played a role in intensifying the emotions of the opponents during the game.
Even Lamos and Pepe of La Liga old fritters were fooled to varying degrees and each received a yellow card.
And Diego Costa, the troublemaker, has no fart.
Away coach Simoni stood on the sidelines and looked at the scene with a faint smile. It wasn't that he instructed Diego Costa to do this, but that the behavior of Diego Costa was very and motivated the team's morale.
Captain Gabi, Turkish midfielder Turan, Portuguese internationals Tiago and Cork are all invigorated by Diego Costa's invisible incentives.
In the words of the Spanish national television five commentator, it is-Atletico is different now, full of blood and people boiling.
In terms of energy, Atletico players perfectly suppress Real Madrid.
Perhaps many Atletico players are not as technical as Real Madrid players, but their playing attitude and tactical execution ability are impeccable.
Defensive consideration is not about ability, but more about looking at each other's position and connection.
The simple reason is that one or two chopsticks are easy to break, but ten are difficult.
Tang Zheng was more active in the second half, but he didn't go to one place and he found that the Atletico players are very tight against themselves.
It's okay to hit the ball with one foot. If you hold the ball too much, at least three Atletico players will gather around you in less than two seconds to block all his passing space.
Even though Tang Zheng's footwork is outstanding, it is difficult to protect football.
The only advantage is that Tang Zheng has a huge body. It is difficult for Atletico defensive players to successfully intercept the ball unless a foul is committed.
The referee, Allehand, was very sharp-eyed. He was able to catch the whistle frequently and signaled Atlético fouls.
Since the fouls were not large, the referee did not give cards.
However, Atletico coach Simone is somewhat dissatisfied ~ EbookFREE.me ~ He chats with the fourth official from time to time, putting a little pressure on the referee on duty.
From a micro perspective, this small action has played a huge role, so that Atletico defensive players are not immune to Real Madrid in defense, and even in the tendency to foul movements have not been punished fouls.
The game continued, although Tang Zheng exhausted all the means, there is no way to help Real Madrid threaten the Atletico goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the same, he can only use the long shot after the breakthrough to create a killer.
But Kurtua's condition was so good that he hit the goal range and was rejected by him ...
Tang Zheng also tried a long shot with two feet, but the effect was not ideal, so he chose to play for his teammates instead of seeking the so-called world wave.
In the last twenty minutes, the two sides began to transfer troops, but unfortunately, no one could knock on the other side and hit the door.
The score of 0: 0 continues until the end of the game.
