Chapter 63 Triple Crown VS Fig Leaf

The King's Cup championship is not very important to a team of Real Madrid's level, but this trophy will have less meaning if it is based on winning the league championship.

Double crown!

Completely dominated Spanish football this past season!

But the double crown is not the glory of Real Madrid in the entire 2014-2015 season. Six days later, there will be a Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany.

If they can defeat Barcelona, ​​they will become the second La Liga team in the history of Spanish football, after Barcelona in the 2008-2009 season.

If Real Madrid really defeats Barcelona six days later, while achieving their Triple Crown, they will also give Barcelona the darkest period of football history - the Sanya King.

The night at the Mestalla was crazy, but life went on, and there was still one last game left for Real Madrid. The team returned to Madrid the next day, and then disbanded on the spot. Head coach Ancelotti gave the players a break. took a one-day holiday.

Because the Chinese women's football team is training to prepare for the World Cup in Canada, which will be held from June 7 to July 6, Tang Zheng's girlfriend Zhao Lina left for the United States after finishing the French Women's Football League early to prepare for the Canadian Women's World Cup with the national team.

Tang Zheng did not rest during the day, and he continued his recovery journey.

Thigh strain is a troublesome thing, especially when participating in high-intensity events before full recovery, the burden on the muscles is obvious.

Barcelona is not an ordinary team, it is a rival on a par with Real Madrid. In order to help the team win the game, Tang Zheng goes all out every time he gets the ball or handles the ball, which puts a huge load on his muscles.

He will definitely start in the Champions League final five days later. In order to last for 90 minutes, he will have to cooperate with team doctor Olmer to do a lot of preparation work.

The entire Real Madrid team is preparing for the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin at the Valdebebas training base, while Barcelona is preparing intensively at the Gamber Sports City.

The only difference is the atmosphere of preparation between the two teams. Real Madrid first won the 2014-2015 La Liga championship with a single-season points record of 103 points, and then fell two goals behind in the Copa del Rey final to win the Copa del Rey. .

This kind of joy from the heart makes Real Madrid players happy to prepare for the game, but Ancelotti is worried about it. The complete victory over Barcelona in all competitions this season may give the players some bad mentality. .

Since Barcelona has maintained a complete victory in all competitions,

Then the Champions League final also means that we will continue to win.

You will win the game if you try your best, and you will win the game if you don't do your best, so why try your best?

Besides... Real Madrid is the defending champion, so there will always be some neglect.

But it is precisely because Real Madrid is the defending champion that Ancelotti becomes more worried.

Since the Champions League was restructured, no team has been able to successfully defend the title.

Can Real Madrid do it?

he does not know.

During the period when Real Madrid was preparing for the Champions League final, the media who followed the Champions League final also talked about this. Manchester United, the winner of the Champions League in the 2007-2008 season, entered the final Champions League final in the 2008-2009 season, but ultimately lost to Barcelona 0:2. , missed the opportunity to defend the title.

Therefore, since the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has been able to defend the title, which has become a curse in the history of the Champions League. Many media and football experts are not optimistic about Real Madrid's Champions League final.

Catalonia's influential local newspapers "World Sports" and "Daily Sports" are spreading the curse that no team can defend the Champions League since the restructuring, putting pressure on Real Madrid in preparation for the game and giving Barcelona some confidence. .

Real Madrid's complete defeat in all competitions this season will definitely put huge pressure on Barcelona players, especially in the just-concluded Copa del Rey final, when they were two goals ahead and lost, the frustration was very profound.

Not to mention that all the players in the Barcelona team are full of frustration. Messi, for example, is very motivated and showed excellent competitive condition in preparation for the Champions League final.

Head coach Enrique's eyes lit up. Messi's excellent competitive state is likely to drive the entire team.

as expected!

As Messi shows his superb competitive form, other Barcelona players are getting better and better under his influence.

Suarez and Neymar, in particular, scored a lot of goals in the group confrontation with all their strength.

Enrique looked at the MSN team, which was getting better and better. He was thinking, maybe there will be something to play in the Champions League final three days later!

In fact, in terms of overall strength, Barcelona and Real Madrid are evenly matched, but in many cases there is a certain gap in the players' on-the-spot performance. Especially in the games where Tang Zheng plays, Messi's performance is often greatly reduced. This is also the case for Barcelona from the 2013-2014 season. The fundamental reason for the lack of success since facing Real Madrid.

A Messi who performs normally is the best Barcelona. On the contrary, if Messi performs abnormally, Barcelona seems to have lost its backbone and its combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

※※※

The two sides of the 2014-2015 Champions League final are intensively preparing for the upcoming Champions League final. Those media who make a living by reporting football news are constantly reporting on the preparations of both sides.

Some are real and some are fictional, so fans who are following the preparations of both sides of the game seem helpless. They don't know which one is real and which one is fake.

For example, Real Madrid fans, according to the 2014-2015 season, Real Madrid's performance is obviously better than Barcelona, ​​but many media have reported that no team has ever defended the Champions League title since the restructuring of the Champions League.

As a Real Madrid fan, can you not worry?

Barcelona fans have seen many authoritative media reports about Barcelona's unbeaten record against Real Madrid in various competitions, and there is data to support it. Even though no team has been able to defend the Champions League since the restructuring of the Champions League, records are often used. Come to break, so...

However, die-hard Tang Zheng fans have no such worries. Tang Zheng has won all the finals he has participated in in the past. They believe that Tang Zheng's title of 'King of Finals' can lead Real Madrid to the final victory!

Except for Tang Zheng, who won all the finals he participated in, he was often able to perform at his best in strong dialogues and turn the tide with his personal abilities.

Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, we are here two days before the Champions League final.

Real Madrid and Barcelona took different flights to Berlin, the capital of Germany, to prepare for the Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin!

Tang Zheng has wonderful memories at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

During his time at Dortmund, he led Dortmund to win the German Cup for four consecutive seasons, and the final venue was the Olympiastadion in Berlin!

The 2014-2015 Champions League final was held at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. Many optimistic Real Madrid fans believed that Tang Zheng, who came to the Olympic Stadium in Berlin again, could lead Real Madrid to break the curse and successfully defend the title!

It is worth mentioning that when the Real Madrid team arrived in Berlin, a large number of Dortmund fans came from all over the country to welcome Tang Zheng.

Dortmund's glorious history is all linked to Tang Zheng.

In other words, Dortmund without Tang Zheng would not have a glorious history.

Although Tang Zheng played for Dortmund for a short period of time, only four years, the championships he brought to Dortmund in these four years were more than the glory that Dortmund had won in the past 100 years combined. Moreover, Tang Zheng left Dortmund with a legacy when he left. Total transfer fee of 125 million euros.

Therefore, not many Dortmund would blame Tang Zheng, because they know how to be grateful.

If Tang Zheng continues to stay in Dortmund, perhaps Dortmund can still dominate the Bundesliga and "dominate" in the Champions League, but Tang Zheng's choice is understandable.

The Bundesliga's exposure is far less than that of the La Liga duo, and it does not help Tang Zheng's career much, so...most Dortmund fans support Tang Zheng's choice.

Looking at the Dortmund fans who came to pick them up at the airport, Tang Zheng was filled with emotion.

There is a fanatical atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu, but in many cases it cannot be compared with the Westfalen Stadium. Dortmund fans, who were born as miners, are full of wild, unruly, and hysterical chants that often start from the first second of the game to the end.

Real Madrid fans are relatively arrogant, and it is difficult to create suffocating chants from beginning to end.

Life needs to move forward. What Tang Zheng can do now is to raise his hands above his head and thank the Dortmund fans who came to the airport by clapping.

If time had not been limited, Tang Zheng would have even planned to satisfy his own fanatical fans.

Berlin's Olympiastadion is very familiar to Tang Zheng, and adapting to the venue before the game is more like a conquered emperor coming to his own territory.

Recalling the four years he wore the Dortmund jersey, Tang Zheng couldn't help but smile.

James Rodriguez turned to look at Tang Zheng, who had a silly smile on his face, and asked curiously: "What dirty things are you thinking about? Are you smiling so obscenely?"

"You do not understand!"

Tang Zheng put his hands on his hips and looked directly at the main stand of the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

Looking at it, it is the youth that I have passed away.

Looking at the intoxicated Tang Zheng, James Rodriguez shrugged his shoulders and continued to warm up.

At the regular pre-match press conference the day before the game, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti brought Tang Zheng.

This also means that Tang Zheng will become the starting team member at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin tomorrow night. Many Real Madrid fans breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past half month, Tang Zheng has been plagued by injuries. Five days ago, he played as a substitute for 45 minutes in the King's Cup final. Although he played extremely well in the 45 minutes he came on as a substitute, it was hard to tell. What a problem, but Tang Zheng returned to the locker room early again, which made many Real Madrid fans feel a little worried.

Judging from the current overall state of Real Madrid, it seems that only Tang Zheng is the most trustworthy.

If Tang Zheng is unable to appear in the starting lineup again, it will be difficult to predict the upcoming Champions League final.

Barcelona, ​​which lost the Copa del Rey final, has been in very good preparation status recently, especially the MSN combination in the frontcourt. Real Madrid fans are worried that the team's defense will be unable to block MSN's offensive firepower.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng appears in the starting lineup, but there will be a big question mark in tomorrow night's Champions League final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Most of the reporters' questions were quite satisfactory, with only two media outlets in Catalonia asking some heart-wrenching questions.

"Since the Champions League was restructured, no team has been able to successfully defend the title. What do you think?"

Tang Zheng glanced at the work nameplate of "World Sports News" and grinned: "Barcelona has lost all of our games this season. What do you think?"

For a moment, the middle-aged bald reporter from "World Sports News" looked extremely ugly, while other reporters in the press conference hall burst into laughter.

Tang Zheng's answer was tit for tat, but it gave people a feeling of calmness, but the lethality was beyond imagination.

Immediately, Tang Zheng added with confidence in front of hundreds of visiting reporters: "Records are often meant to be broken, so the so-called curse has no effect on me, because... I am Born to record!”

The young female reporter from "Daily Sports News" wanted to find trouble, but Tang Zheng silently pushed her back, so that the reporter who asked the next question was cautious...

Coincidentally, the player who followed Barcelona coach Enrique to participate in the regular press conference was Messi.

After missing out on the league title and the Copa del Rey in succession, the most common question asked by media reporters is whether Messi can lead Barcelona to defeat Real Madrid in the final.

What is different from the past is that Messi is full of confidence. When being interviewed by reporters, he confidently said: "Winning! Championship! It is my goal and the goal of the whole team! Making nonsense? No! This is what we should win. Glory! So tomorrow night’s Champions League final will be 100% won!!”

On the day of the game, there was still more than half a day before the start of the game. The square outside the Berlin Olympiastadion, a five-star European stadium, was already overcrowded. Barcelona fans wearing white jerseys and red and blue striped shirts could be seen everywhere.

In addition to fans from both sides of the game, there were also a large number of Dortmund fans wearing yellow No. 10 jerseys.

They were not supporting Real Madrid, but simply supporting Tang Zheng.

These Dortmund fans were led by a local Dortmund resident named Hans Heisenberg. They sang the simple and easy-to-understand "Song of the Tang" to each other, showing a different style outside Berlin's Olympic Stadium.

As a domestic sports media in China, Tang Zheng had a lot of contact with Dortmund fans when he played for Dortmund, so he is very familiar with each other.

When the Dortmund fans learned that the reporter interviewing them was a Chinese reporter, they were filled with pride and kept boasting about how amazing Tang Zheng was.

It can be said that the Dortmund fans who were interviewed were very selective, and the Chinese reporters who interviewed them sounded particularly comfortable.

"Let's go, guys!"

At 6 pm local time in Germany, Real Madrid coach Ancelotti, who was reminded by UEFA staff, said loudly to the players in the hotel lobby.

"Come on! We are the champions! The first team to defend the Champions League since the restructuring of the Champions League! Come on! Madrid!!"

As all the coaches and players of Real Madrid boarded the bus provided by UEFA, the Real Madrid fans who had been waiting for a long time in the Real Madrid Tower Hotel gave a unified and huge shout.
