Vol 3 Chapter 96: Messi

The finals of the 2013-2014 season of the Spanish Kings Cup will be played at 9:00 pm on April 17th, local time, Spain, at the Mestalla Stadium, home of Valencia.
Although the game time is mid-week and the venue is the middle ground, Real Madrid fans and Barcelona fans are very active. They came to the outer square of the Mestalla stadium early to cheer for the beloved team.
Despite this, the number of players at the Mestalla Stadium did not meet expectations until about 7 o'clock in the evening.
This time is two hours away from the daily working hours of Spain. Spain ’s domestic transportation is quite developed. Two hours is enough for Real Madrid and Barcelona fans to arrive at the Mestalla Stadium in the capital of the Valencia Region from their respective cities. Cheer for your beloved team.
About one and a half hours before the start of the game, the two sides took a bus to stop at the designated parking spot of Mestalla Stadium.
It is not the first time for Tang Zheng at Mestalla Stadium. The first time is the 17th round of the league this season, which is the last league before Christmas last year. Real Madrid guest Mestalla beat the home team in a thrilling 3: 2 Valencia, Tang Zheng had a goal, so Mestalla Stadium is still a good place for Tang Zheng.
Mestalla Stadium, a large professional football stadium capable of accommodating 55,000 fans. Although this stadium cannot be compared with Santiago Bernabeu and Camp Nou, it is an insurmountable holy place among Valencia fans. temple.
In the end, the King ’s Cup final at the Mestalla Stadium was quite beneficial to Barcelona ’s recent poor condition. First, Cristiano Ronaldo missed the 18th finals of the King ’s Cup final due to a knee injury. Defender Marcelo also had a big roster due to soleus injury.
Perhaps Marcelo's absence has little effect on Real Madrid, but Cristiano Ronaldo's absence is a huge hidden danger for Real Madrid.
As a guest of the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals at Westphalun Stadium, if Tang Zheng scored twice in five minutes, whether Real Madrid will advance to the quarter-finals of the season will have a big question mark.
First of all, Cristiano Ronaldo has a great sense of foot this season. He scored an amazing 13 goals in ten UEFA Champions League games. If it was not for the two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals that was plagued by injuries, his goal numbers can be chased Pin Altafini, Messi and Tang Zheng jointly maintained the record of fourteen goals in the Champions League single season.
An hour before the start of the game, both sides of the game received the official starting lineup from the other party.
The official formation of Real Madrid is four two three one, the goalkeeper is still guarded by Casillas, and the four defenders are Coentran, Pepe, Amos and Carvajal.
In the double back, Harvey Alonso partnered with Tang Zheng, three forwards Di Maria, Modric and Isco, and Benzema topped the front line.
Barcelona sacrificed the traditional four three three formation, the goalkeeper was Pinto, replacing Valdes who could not appear due to injury. In addition, the defender could not play because of the central defender Pique. His position was replaced by Baltra, partner Masche Rano, the two full-backs are Yodi Alba and Alves.
Three midfielders Harvey, Busquets and Fabregas, three forwards are Iniesta, Messi and Neymar.
Tang Zheng also learned from assistant coach Clement that Sanchez missed the starting list. He felt very sorry for this. His friend Sanchez's ability was very clear. Martino even abandoned it ...
However, Barcelona is not happy to send Sanchez Tang Zheng, because Sanchez's fighting spirit is the most lacking in the current state of Barcelona.
Without Sanchez, Barcelona is unable to radiate a striking fighting spirit.
※※※
Half an hour before the start of the King's Cup finals, the Mestalla Stadium is already full, and a huge deafening cheering resounds throughout the stadium.
Real Madrid fans in white jerseys and Barcelona fans in red and blue stripes are very clear. They sit in the north and south stands of the Mestalla stadium, and then move in sequence. There are neutral fans with no position in the middle.
Of course, among these neutral fans, there are still many red home jerseys wearing Chinese men ’s football. They are Chinese who are studying and working in Spain. The reason for coming to the Mestalla stadium to watch the King ’s Cup final is simple. Just cheer for Tang Zheng and cheer.
In fact, in many La Liga and UEFA Champions League games, this kind of scene will be seen, so many foreign commentators will tease China, the world's most populous country, wherever you go, there are Chinese people.
It is worth mentioning that there was a brief ceremony before the start of the final of the King's Cup. The present King of Spain Juan Carlos spoke to advocate the spirit of friendship first and second.
A short time later, with the referee Raos blowing his whistle, the 2013-2014 season of the Spanish Kings Cup final officially announced the start: "beep ~"
Messi kicked the ball to Iniesta, and then ran forward. Iniesta received the football instead of passing forward, but pulled the ball and turned to face the goal of the side, then gave the ball to Harvey, control Rhythm.
He Wei, the Yang 5 commentator, discovered the new continent, and his voice changed: "Barcelona's tactical play seems to have changed a lot. The inclination is much smaller than in the past. Is it because of fear of Real Madrid's quick counterattack?"
Indeed, Tang Zheng in this game did not appear in the midfielder or midfielder position, but a defensive midfielder with experienced Xavi Alonso.
Tang Zheng has an excellent sense of position. When he was a defensive midfielder, he was very stable. He was able to play a defensive role in the midfield defense. With the experience of Harvey Alonso, he can understand why Barcelona chose insurance. Control rhythm.
Real Madrid do not have the passive defense as expected, but are full of aggressive active defense, so that the recent downturn of Barcelona players will feel uncomfortable and make mistakes in the face of oppressive defense.
Having suffered two consecutive losing streak in the Champions League and the league, in fact, the relationship with Messi is not very big, but the active oppression of Atletico Madrid and Granada is very effective, frequently disrupting the offensive rhythm of Barcelona.
Modric's defensive ability may not be comparable to Tang Zheng's, but his tactical execution ability and running ability are top-notch, so the active oppression in the midfield can give Barcelona's brain Harvey enough pressure.
Fabregas's organizational ability is also not weak, but his ability is still a bit short of Harvey, so Barcelona's attack at the beginning stage was not smooth, but it was almost countered by Real Madrid.
As Real Madrid's counterattack worked on the spot, Tang Zheng's position slowly began to premise, and Real Madrid's attack became more and more threatening.
In the third minute, Tang Zheng suddenly inserted at the front of the big penalty area and received a slight adjustment from Modric's oblique plug. Then he shot a cold arrow and the football flew to the goal against the ground. The goalkeeper Pinto did not react, but the football also Instead of scoring the goal, he rubbed the post on the right side of the goal and rolled out of the bottom line, hitting the billboard behind.
Two minutes later, it was Tang Zheng again. He used a corner attack opportunity to force goalkeeper Pinto to make a world-class save.
"Oh oh--"
Tang Zheng continuously created threats, so that Barcelona coach Martino stood on the sidelines frequently made complaining physical movements.
The on-site enthusiasm and the Barcelona players on the stadium were also helpless, so they did not notice the response of coach Martino.
Even if they step back 10,000 and say that they noticed Martino's actions, they will not have much psychological fluctuations, because as Barcelona was eliminated in the Champions League, Martino basically lost control of the locker room.
Fortunately, compatriot Messi is still more supportive of Martino, otherwise Martino is already leaving.
At the same time, Yang Wei's commentator He Wei said with a thrill: "Tang Zheng is in a very good state. Although his position in this game is a defensive midfielder, he has the ability to read the game beyond ordinary people. Appeared in the most appropriate place at the right time. If it ’s not bad luck, I think Real Madrid is already ahead of the score! "
Of course, Barcelona did not create a chance, but Messi, who has been in the doldrums recently, was not sure. His shot at the penalty spot missed the goal post.
※※※
Ten minutes into the game, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Martino pulled left back Alba to explain two sentences, and then he communicated to the teammates on the field.
Immediately, Barcelona's offensive rhythm suddenly accelerated, Messi received more opportunities to get the ball.
But Messi just broke through Modric and Di Maria, and Tang Zheng appeared in sight when he was about to accelerate through Harvey Alonso.
Perhaps out of instinct, Messi forgot to accelerate the breakthrough, but jumped subconsciously.
Don't feel any surprise about Messi's avoidance, Tang Zheng swept the ball to Di Maria when he fell to the ground.
Di Maria realized that Alves's upper hand grabbed the ball directly to Modric with his right foot arch while facing away from the offensive direction. Modric, who received the ball, did not take the ball forward himself, but finished with Di Maria A 'two-to-one cooperation' sent the ball to Alves behind him.
Tang Zheng, who completed the key interception, didn't stay in place, he quickly got up, and then started in place, running straight to the far end.
It was only then that Messi realized that he had just made an unforgivable mistake on the offensive end, but he did not stand on the spot, but rarely took the initiative to return to the defense.
To be precise, it is to chase Tang Zheng.
But Messi found out that his proud speed was in front of Tang Zheng who was more than one meter nine in height.
Not only did the distance between the two of them not shorten in the course of running away from each other, but they tended to grow longer.
Di Maria turned to speed up and catch the ball in one go, central defender Mascherano had to pull to the side to make up for the huge vacancy left over by Alves' risky grab.
Di Maria with the ball over the center line did not dribble anymore, because Mascherano has stuck his straight acceleration and inward angle, he lifted his left foot, came a wide-range transfer, the football came to the right At the foot of Isco.
As Mascherano pulled to the right, Baltra and Alba automatically withdrew, making Real Madrid attacking the right with a lot of empty space.
Interestingly, Isco, who received the football, did not speed up, but actively lowered his speed.
"This……"
The German sky commentator Marcel Leff was stunned looking at the broadcast, until a white figure suddenly appeared in the lower left corner of the broadcast, and the large Arabic number '10' behind him, he suddenly shouted: "Tang- —

At this moment, Isco suddenly took the ball to accelerate to the ribs, Tang Zheng was very tacit from behind Isco to accelerate towards the bottom line.
Behind Tang Zheng is Messi who is chasing after him.
Isco suddenly caught Alba's attention, and Baltra had to pay attention to Benzema's movement, so that Tang Zheng, who was plugged in later, had no one to pay attention to.
"Ooooo--"
The grandstand area close to Barcelona's left half defense belongs to Barcelona fans, so they exploded in huge boos.
Isco and Tang Zheng have a very high level of understanding. When Albany receives a back position, he uses the right instep to pass the ball to Tang Zheng's high-speed insertion route.
Perhaps it was boos that interfered with Isco. His passing power was too large, and he was too close to the sideline, which means that Tang Zheng had to turn a corner and go around to realize the ball.
It was a corner that Messi, who was desperately chasing, finally caught up with Tang Zheng.
Martino, who was in the coaching area of ​​the home team, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even if Messi is not a professional defensive player, at least in terms of the number of defensive players Barcelona has not fallen. As long as Messi is not easy to attack, wait for Busquets to defend The Real Madrid attack can basically be transformed into a positional attack.
However, after Tang Zheng stabilized the football, he exaggerated his right foot and made a posture to pass. Messi was not a defensive player, and he did not have a good sense of defensive, so he subconsciously stretched his left foot to block Tang Zheng on the right. Forty-five degrees near the bottom of the road, about thirty meters.
However, Tang Zheng didn't cross, he quickly lowered his right foot, pushed the ball to the inside line with the outside of his foot, and then started.
Suddenly, Messi realized that he was fooled, and quickly lowered his left foot to chase Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng was explosive and consciously stuck in the position, so Messi, who rarely helped defending, was blocked by Tang Zheng's strong body Behind him.
Alba has no way to retreat. The slower speeds of Busquets and Fabregas have not returned to the position. He must press Tang Zheng positively.
Messi takes the game very seriously ~ EbookFREE.me ~ When he loses his defensive position, he chooses to reach out and pull Tang Zheng's jersey to prevent him from starting completely.
Tang Zheng looked up at the restricted area while chasing the ball, and then stretched out his left hand, pulling Messi's jersey in front of him and pushing forward.
So Messi, who was not strong enough, was dragged forward by Tang Zheng for a few meters. The referee Laos, in view of Messi ’s foul first, and the two pulled each other, simply let the game continue and Tang, who chased the football Zheng Zheng lifted his right foot and made a quick cross.
The football bypassed the front points of Alba and Baltra and flew to the back point.
Mascherano and Di Maria are at the same time facing football, but Di Maria is obviously faster than Mascherano, so the momentum is more fierce. He leaned over and jumped about 14 meters from the left side of the penalty area. It was too late for Mascherano to reach out again.
Tang Zheng accurately found Di Maria in a fast pass on the right, the latter pushed the ball towards the far corner of the goal.
The goalkeeper Pinto made a subconscious save, but helpless to the power and angle of Di Maria's header, he can only declare that it is too long ...
