Vol 3 Chapter 112: Unexpected game (Happy Winter Solstice)

The 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final is a gluttonous feast for fans all over the world. The appeal may not be as good as the four-year World Cup finals, but the level of excitement and technical and tactical content is higher than the World Cup finals, so fans with tickets to the UEFA Champions League final are happy .
The Stadium of Light can accommodate 64,000 fans, and it is already full of seats two hours before the start of the game.
In the finals, fans from both sides occupied the north and south stands of the stadium and extended them in turn. The main and auxiliary stands were filled with neutral fans.
They came here to watch the ball to feel the annual Champions League final feast, hoping to see a wonderful Champions League final.
In the 2013-2014 La Liga season, Real Madrid is the sharpest spear, and Atletico Madrid is the strongest shield. The two teams played four times in the 2013-2014 season. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid each achieved a victory. The other two The game draws.
It is worth mentioning that their respective wins won a trophy for their respective teams. Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid in the away league to win the league title, and Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid in the semi-final round of the semifinals and won the King ’s Cup.
In terms of influence and gold content, it is natural that the league champions are stronger than the Kings Cup champions, but the league is a long season. Real Madrid regrets that the main reason for losing the league championship is not that the home and away league wins and losses are worse than Atletico Madrid, but they themselves make too many mistakes .
It was only after some dramatic changes in the league's rounds that the following simple and difficult modes emerged.
The players from both sides returned to their locker rooms about thirty minutes from the start of the game. The organizer, Bright Stadium, began to arrange cultural performances before the start of the finals, highlighting the Portuguese national characteristics and unique football culture.
The whole performance lasted about fifteen minutes, and then UEFA President Platini and Portuguese Football Association President Fernando Gomez delivered speeches one after another.
It did n’t take long for the players on both sides of the game to appear in the player aisle, and the entire bright stadium suddenly boiled, and a huge cheer broke out: "Aoao Aoao--"
Because the live guide switched the camera to the player channel, and the live fans could see the players on both sides of the game successively walk to the player channel through the huge LCD screen erected on the southeast corner of the stadium.
The starting eleven stayed in the player channel, and the substitute players walked straight into the court through the player channel, and then turned to sit on the bench of their own team, waiting for the game to start.
An hour before the start of the game, the two sides have submitted the starting list.
The official formation submitted by Real Madrid is four two three one, the goalkeeper is still the goalkeeper captain Casillas, four guards Carvajal, Varane, Ramos and Coentran, double back midfielder Hudila replaced the accumulation Xavi Alonso, who can't play in the yellow card, partnered with Modric.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Tang Zheng and Di Maria lined up, Benzema topped the front line.
The official formation submitted by Atletico Madrid is four four two, goalkeeper Kurtua, four defenders Felipe, Godin, Miranda and Juan Fran.
Four midfielders Cork, Gabi, Tiago and Raúl Garcia. The double forwards are injured Diego Costa and veteran David Villa.
The starting players who came to the player channel seem to have no tension before the game, but a clear sense of excitement.
Many of the players on both sides of the game are national teammates. They encouraged and chatted with each other for a limited time before the game to ease the tension before the game.
The champion belongs to the winner, and the biggest victim of the competitive game is the loser, and nobody in the final team wants to lose, so they will do their best to win the championship.
The premise of doing our best is to have a stable state of mind. Chatting and encouraging each other before the game is one of the means to ease the tension.
Tang Zheng is not very familiar with Atletico Madrid players, but has more encounters, and Tang Zheng and Atletico coach Simone have a very good relationship, so there are more topics to talk to each other.
Until Atletico coach Simone appeared in the player channel, Tang Zheng took the initiative to walk over, opened his arms and embraced the man who changed his life's destiny.
The close-up footage of the live guide just happened to be here. He Wei, the central 5 commentator, commented for the first time: "The mentor and apprentice have played four times in the La Liga and the Kings Cup. At the same time, this is the last time this season, the teachers and students should have a good chat on the eve of the war, but I do n’t know who can keep the smile now after 90 minutes? "
British Sky commentator Andy Gray turned his head meaningfully to Martin Taylor: "Hey ~ old man, which team do you think has a higher probability of winning."
"Is this still to be said? Of course Real Madrid." Martin Taylor said without hesitation.
"why?"
"Does this need to be said? Old man?"
Martin Taylor's right index finger pointed to Tang Zheng on the right side of the broadcast screen, full of confidence: "As far as I know, from the beginning of his career to the present, the final has not lost, and there have been many media to give him the final The title of 'Wang, I am nothing good, just believe in God.'
After all, Martin Taylor draws a cross in his chest.
Andy Gray shook his head and smiled, he was really speechless to the old partner Martin Taylor, because now Martin Taylor has become a loyal fan of Tang Zheng, and can't hear anyone saying that Tang Zheng is not at all.
But then again, Tang Zheng started from the riverbed to join Real Madrid a season, did not lose in the finals.
Perhaps the record is used to break, but the thickness and overall strength of Real Madrid's lineup this season is significantly stronger than Atletico Madrid, with a higher chance of winning.
Tang Zheng used to joke with his teacher Simone: "Hey ~ you have to be mentally prepared."
"Psychological preparation?" Simone looked at Tang Zheng playfully: "Psychological preparation for winning the championship? I'm ready."
As a proud disciple of Simone, Tang Zheng naturally understands Simone's personality characteristics, shaking his head and laughing: "You think more, I am talking about the psychological preparation for losing."
Obviously, Simone had a strong heart, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think you should have more."
Tang Zheng rolled his eyes, just as Cristiano Ronaldo came over, Tang Zheng took the opportunity to bid farewell to the mentor Simone, and extended his right hand with a smile, holding the right hand extended to Cristiano Ronaldo, encouraging each other.
In the eyes of many Real Madrid fans, the most reliable combination of Real Madrid's offense is the connection between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo.
※※※
In the past two minutes or so, Dutch referee Kuppers led the players on both sides of the game into the stadium.
As in the past, multiple Champions League volunteers stood in the middle circle, holding a corner of the huge five-star Logo canvas.
The players on both sides of the game take the Champions League trophy placed between the player through the crossing and the center of the stadium as the boundary, slowly enter the stadium from left to right, and then centered on the referee team. Grandstand.
What is different from the past is that the players did not broadcast the Champions League theme song "-League" on the first time they entered the field, but the Portuguese singer Maria Nunez led the singing group to sing the Champions League theme song "-League".
Although the European Champions theme song sung by Portuguese female singer Maria Nuñez is not as inflammatory as the original song, the background music broadcast on the radio is already full of original religious chants, which makes the listeners full of power.
At the same time, fanatic Real Madrid fans gathered in the South Stand of the Bright Stadium. They used the mosaic tiles of red, white, yellow and blue to piece together the huge Real Madrid team emblem. The Atletico fans in the North Stand did not show weakness. Obviously there are preparations. They use white and red mosaic boards to make up Atletico Madrid's home jersey.
After all, this season's Champions League final is the first time in the 58-year history of the Champions League with the city's derby finals, and Real Madrid and Atletico also represent two classes in Madrid, so the contradiction is very deep.
Now in the final match of the Champions League, the absolute Mars hit the earth and sparks splattered.
Especially for fans, it is even more unpleasant to watch each other.
Instead, the players on both sides of the game were very friendly when they shook hands and greeted each other. Like the meeting in the player channel before the game, they shook hands, slapped their shoulders and encouraged them.
The game flow was very fast, and Atletico won the right to pick and lose the right to kick off.
Real Madrid got the kick-off right, which is what Tang Zheng was happy to see.
It doesn't make much sense to choose which half-court offensive or defensive game to play in a neutral position.
It's just ... the game is not as simple as Tang Zheng thought.
"Beep ~"
With the whistle of the referee Kuppers, Benzema kicked the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, which also means that the 2013-2014 season Champions League final officially kicked off!
CCTV 5 commentator He Wei gave the standard CCTV opening remarks: "CCTV, CCTV, welcome you to watch the live broadcast of the final of the 2013-2014 season UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid against Atletico Madrid, the game has started, the upper body Real Madrid are wearing white jerseys and white shorts. They are attacking from the right side of the screen to the left. Wearing red and white sweaters and blue shorts ...
Before the words fell, the referee Kuppels sounded his whistle again.
It turned out that Di Maria, who tried to break through the ball, stumbled to the ground with an unreasonable extension of Cork's leg.
He Wei's voice turned and shook his head: "The game was interrupted in less than ten seconds. Perhaps the main melody of this game will be breakouts and breakouts. Real Madrid with obvious technical advantages must score more before the game in order to score. Patience, Atletico ’s tactical thinking in this game is already obvious, that is to disrupt Real Madrid ’s offensive rhythm and not allow Real Madrid to organize the attack comfortably.

as predicted!
The following game was frequently interrupted by Atlético foul, but because the foul location was not in the core area, the foul of Atlético players did not harm Real Madrid players, the referee Kuppers just blew his whistle in the usual way , Not even warnings.
In this regard, Real Madrid coach Ancelotti is very angry.
Although it was guessed in the pre-match plan that Atletico Madrid would frequently interrupt its own offensive rhythm with fouls, he did not expect it to happen so frequently.
Coupled with the lack of Harvey Alonso in the midfield, Modric alone is difficult to control the overall situation, so it is often necessary for Tang Zheng to retreat to help the offensive organization.
A high-level game is indisputable, Tang Zheng's retreat is not in the frontcourt, which means that after the football handed over to Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria's feet, there is a lack of a suitable midfielder.
Therefore, Atlético fouls are concentrated near the midfield, which not only affects Real Madrid's offensive rhythm, but also ensures that fouls will not be severely punished by the referee.
Simoni standing in front of the coach of the home team has a very good ability to perform tactics on the players. Therefore, when Kuppers stopped the game, he stood on the sidelines to cheer for the players, and the characteristics of the instigating head coach were revealed.
Simeone's inflammatory body movements also infected the players' desire to fight on the field. Coupled with the enthusiastic game atmosphere, Atletico players once suppressed the dominant Real Madrid.
German sky commentator Marcel Leif praised Simoni ’s tactics: "In the past five minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid, which has no strength, has occupied a perfect suppression of Real Madrid. It seems that Diego Simone did the homework before the game. It is more sufficient than Carlo Ancelotti, knowing that Real Madrid ’s lack of Harvey Alonso ’s scheduling in the midfield will affect the overall offensive and defensive conversion, while Atletico Madrid personnel are neat and tactical execution is in place. It seems that the game will not In a direction conducive to Real Madrid ... "
Yang Wei, the 5th commentator, also found that the situation was not conducive to Real Madrid. He worriedly said: "Alonso's cumulative yellow card missed the finals has a great impact on Real Madrid. It really moved the whole body. Tang Zheng had to share more midfield tasks. , To make up for the shortcomings of Modric and Hedila ’s capabilities. "
Cristiano Ronaldo is very depressed. He has an injury on his left knee. Next month is the World Cup. He dare not desperately.
And Cristiano Ronaldo's national teammate Tiago just took a fancy to him, and chose to frequently play 'black feet', forcing Cristiano Ronaldo not to dare to break the ball too much.
Of course, this 'black foot' is not the other black foot, only the one that Tiago's foot seems to be very cruel, the actual lethality is limited, but it has a great impact on Cristiano Ronaldo's performance.
Tang Zheng has a very correct attitude towards the game. Even the game next month will be very hard, but many times hard work does not mean gains.
The top stage like the Champions League final ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The player's strength gap is not obvious. It is not impossible to break the deadlock with personal strength, but the difficulty factor is a bit high.
In the past, Tang Zheng, like many football experts and the media, believed that the absence of Xavi Alonso was trivial for the team, but from the perspective of the actual game, the problem exposed by the lack of Xavi Alonso is very large.
Harvey Alonso has both offensive and defensive functions, whether it is offensive or defensive, which can alleviate the tremendous pressure on Tang Zheng's body, and the most obvious point is the change from offense to defense.
In this regard, both Hedira and Modric are lagging behind.
Therefore, Tang Zheng did not dare to be too inclined to attack in the first ten minutes of the opening. He was worried that the team would have problems from the offensive to the defensive.
At the eleventh minute, the broadcaster gave the ratio of possession of the ball by both parties.
56% VS44%
Despite Real Madrid leading by six percentage points, the extra ball possession time is actually more in the midfield and backcourt, which is useless.
