With the three whistles of Turkish referee Cakir, the 2014-2015 Champions League final officially came to an end. Real Madrid finally reversed Barcelona 3:2 with Tang Zheng's two goals and Cristiano Ronaldo's goal. Win the game.
Real Madrid, who defeated Barcelona, not only gave their opponents three runner-up places in the season, but also became the first team to defend the Champions League since the restructuring, creating new history. Tang Zheng also became the first team to represent two different teams since the restructuring of the Champions League. The team won the Champions League for three consecutive seasons.
In addition, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are also players who have scored in the Champions League finals for three consecutive seasons since the restructuring of the Champions League. However, Tang Zheng's goals are more valuable than Cristiano Ronaldo's, and Tang Zheng is the player who has scored in the Champions League finals for three consecutive seasons. Won the Champions League title this season.
At the end of the game, the sky above Berlin's Olympiastadion rang out with deafening shouts from Real Madrid fans: "Ooooooooooo-"
The Real Madrid fans standing in the south stand had their backs to the stadium, hitting each other's shoulders, jumping in place, giving people a very strong visual impact, especially the fans sitting in front of the TV, they seemed to see the whole thing. The stands were shaking.
The live director's close-up shot focused on the best player in the game - Tang Zheng.
Scoring two goals and planning the goal were the biggest contributors to Real Madrid's two equalizers and then overtake.
Although the commentator of Portugal's national sports TV station was unwilling to admit it, Tang Zheng was the best player. Because of Tang Zheng's sufficient contribution, Real Madrid finally broke the curse and became the first team to defend the Champions League title since the restructuring of the Champions League.
Central 5 commentator He Wei sat in the on-site commentary box and was eloquent: "...Tang Zheng is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to Real Madrid's Champions League defense. The 125 million euros spent in the summer of 2013 was well worth it! Tang Zheng has not yet turned 26 this year. , The peak period is still long! I believe that by this time next year, Real Madrid is likely to become the first team to win the Champions League for three consecutive seasons since the Champions League was restructured!"
The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV were also very excited. Everyone knew that Tang Zheng was a big-time player and the king of the finals, but when they really saw it, they would inevitably feel a new sense of excitement.
How many people dream of winning the Champions League?
Tang Zheng has won three Champions League titles at the age of twenty-five, the second triple crown in his career, which is really the envy of others.
Messi, who failed to lead Barcelona to victory, stood in front of the top of Real Madrid's penalty area with his hands on his hips, feeling the fanatical atmosphere rushing towards his face. His brows furrowed even deeper. He really didn't expect that he would lose to Tang Zheng in the end.
Moreover... he still lost to Tang Zheng who was injured.
"Hey~"
Messi sighed, then turned to look at the home team's bench.
As the biggest contributor to Real Madrid's successful defense, Tang Zheng is now the target of the Real Madrid players' venting. However, Tang Zheng's right thigh was strained and unable to exert force. He can only accept everything with a smile.
Until the teammates naturally dispersed, draped in national flags, they walked around the field and displayed them at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
Although Tang Zheng strained his thigh, it did not affect his movements. It was just inconvenient to walk and he was limping.
Immediately, Tang Zheng put on a championship commemorative shirt with the Arabic numeral '11' printed on the chest, and joined his teammates in thanking the fans for their support.
Not long after, UEFA staff arranged the vacant podium, and the atmosphere in the fanatical Olympiastadion in Berlin returned to normal. It is not that the fans are not interested in the upcoming awards ceremony, but they need time to buffer, and then Explode again.
As time passed, the losing Barcelona players also accepted the reality. Both sides of the match had many national team teammates, such as the Spanish national team, the Brazilian national team, the German national team, etc.
This game was Xavi's last game in Barcelona, so many Real Madrid players took the initiative to communicate with Xavi.
Especially Real Madrid captain Casillas. He already felt that his Real Madrid career was coming to an end. He had the same mood as Xavi. Therefore, the man who was chatting and laughing soon shed tears, so that countless people sitting in front of the TV fans lamented.
Time is not forgiving...
Finally, Tang Zheng also walked towards Harvey.
Many people say that Barcelona can win many championships because of Messi, who is a world champion. In fact, this is not the case. Xavi is the truly indispensable one.
This Barcelona art giant is the architect of Barcelona's rise and fall.
Xavi was at his peak when Barcelona and Spain, which dominated European football, won three World Series championships. Spain was eliminated early in the group stage of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and Barcelona's Space Battleship was destroyed. Xavi was old and in poor condition...
※※※
"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"
The first to take the podium were five people from the referee team, who received commemorative medals from this season's UEFA Champions League.
When the referees stepped down one by one, Barcelona, which regretted losing the game, strolled towards the podium under the leadership of head coach Enrique.
Although Barcelona fans are dissatisfied with the team's loss of the game, it is now a done deal and they have no choice. Besides, the team did perform very well in the 90 minutes and even had a chance to score a real tie goal, so Barcelona The fans applauded the players who took the stage.
Real Madrid fans often disagree with Barcelona fans because the team is "incompatible" with Barcelona, but this time they did not, but applauded together with Barcelona fans.
After all, there are three runner-ups in one season, and the champion is Real Madrid, so they should be given some encouragement, right?
By the time the last Barcelona player came on stage to receive the runner-up medal, the fanatical atmosphere at Berlin's Olympiastadion had qualitatively improved.
Because... Next, the champion Real Madrid took the stage to receive the award.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"
The first ones to step onto the stairs were Tang Zheng and Ramos. To be more precise, it was Ramos who supported Tang Zheng, who had a strained thigh. The Real Madrid fans in the stands instantly became more excited and burst into loud cheers.
The reporters in the mixed area kept pressing the shutter button in their hands, and the sound of 'clicking' kept coming.
Tang Zheng, who was used to seeing big scenes, didn't feel any discomfort. He was smiling and chatting and laughing with teammate Ramos.
Central 5 commentator He Wei's mood improved significantly over time, shouting: "Now walking to the podium is Real Madrid, the winner of the UEFA Champions League final in the 2014-2015 season! This is the eleventh time in the history of Real Madrid that they have won this award. Xiang Glory is also the first team to successfully defend the Champions League title since the restructuring of the Champions League! The player at the forefront is Chinese player Tang Zheng! Real Madrid can break the curse and defend the Champions League title. It can be said that Tang Zheng relied on his own efforts... …”
At the same time, Messi, who had already won the silver medal, looked at Tang Zheng who was limping further and further away, and made up his mind that next season... he must win!
However, Messi has forgotten his determination countless times...
UEFA President Platini personally put a gold-plated medal symbolizing the championship on Tang Zheng, then put his arms around Tang Zheng's neck affectionately and spoke passionately.
The last Real Madrid player to step onto the ladder was former Real Madrid number one star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Why do you want to talk about the original number one star?
Because as Tang Zheng shines again in the Champions League final, many commentators already believe that Tang Zheng is likely to replace Cristiano Ronaldo as Real Madrid's highest-paid player this summer.
In many cases, salary benefits are directly proportional to the importance of the team.
Once Real Madrid chairman Florentino agrees to the conditions offered by Tang Zheng's agent Rodrigo, Tang Zheng will be Real Madrid's veritable number one star!
After all, Cristiano Ronaldo is already 30 years old this year and has reached the end of his career. It is very difficult to defeat the rising star Tang Zheng. Even the commentator of the Portuguese National Sports TV believes so.
A new generation replaces an old one, this is an eternal principle.
In the past few seasons, Cristiano Ronaldo was the best-selling player in Real Madrid's jerseys, but this season Tang Zheng became the best-selling player in Real Madrid's jerseys. Coupled with his excellent performance in the Champions League and various competitions, unless there is Otherwise, it would be difficult for Cristiano Ronaldo to surpass Tang Zheng.
Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo has obvious advantages. His goalscoring numbers during his six seasons at Real Madrid are quite stable. Moreover, Real Madrid holds 40% of Cristiano Ronaldo's image rights, while Tang Zheng personally holds 90%.
But these troublesome things have nothing to do with Tang Zheng, because these are the mutual games between Florentino and Rodrigo.
Closer to home, while the Olympiastadion in Berlin was ringing with loud cheers like a mountain and a tsunami, all Real Madrid players and coaching staff stood on the podium area in the center of the main stand, waiting for the UEFA Champions League President Platini to award the championship trophy. .
The live broadcast showed UEFA President Platini holding the Saint-Bride Cup, commonly known as the Big Ears Cup, which symbolizes the Champions League championship trophy, in both hands, and walked towards the prepared Real Madrid captain Casillas.
“Ce-sont-les-meilleures-équipes(France)”
“Sie-sind-die-allerbesten-Mannschaften(Germany)”
“The-main-event(English)”
…
As the on-site director played the Champions League theme song "-League", UEFA President Platini smiled broadly and handed the Big Ear Cup to Real Madrid captain Casillas with both hands.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"
The Olympiastadion in Berlin was filled with a deafening roar from Real Madrid fans.
In addition, countless white confetti was sprayed from the podium at the far end opposite the broadcast screen, which looked particularly dazzling under the light.
This night belongs to Real Madrid!
Fans watching the game on live TV can see a set of subtitles from the middle and bottom of the screen: Real Madrid, the 60th European Football Champions League champion in the 2014-2015 season.
Looking at Tang Zheng in the broadcast, he held the championship trophy high in both hands. Central 5 commentator He Wei was hysterical: "This is Tang Zheng's third Champions League championship trophy in his career! He is only 25 years old this year. There is still a long time left in his career. I think there are countless fans in front of the TV like me, looking forward to seeing Tang Zheng win the St. Bradford Cup again this time next year..."
Real Madrid Chairman Florentino, who not many people noticed, shook his head in excitement and smiled bitterly. Tang Zheng once again decided Real Madrid's Champions League championship. Thinking of Fabino Rodrigo's proposed annual salary of 25 million euros after tax, he kept thinking. Shake his head.
Two years ago, in order to retain Cristiano Ronaldo, Mendes agreed to the after-tax annual salary of 18.2 million euros. If Tang Zheng's after-tax annual salary was agreed to 25 million euros, plus various other nearly , up to 30 million euros, then...
Is it...going to list Cristiano Ronaldo?
Thinking of this, Florentino's sad face was relieved to some extent.
Cristiano Ronaldo is already thirty years old this year, and is obviously more valuable than Tang Zheng, who is not yet twenty-six years old.
However, for Florentino, this night should be more about celebrating. He won the Triple Crown for the first time since taking over Real Madrid, which is gratifying. Moreover, he also won the Triple Crown on the corpse of Barcelona, which is more valuable. high.
As for those annoying things, let’s wait until tomorrow…
There is no doubt that this night belongs to Real Madrid people.
After holding the championship trophy high on the podium, Real Madrid players walked around the stadium holding the Big Ears Cup high, enjoying this hard-won trophy with the fans in the stands.
When Tang Zheng limped to the area where the Dortmund fans were holding the trophy, the Dortmund fans subconsciously extended their voices: "Taaaaaaaaaaang——"
Immediately, the catchy "Song of the Tang Dynasty"
You must know that this song originally created by Dortmund fans was played at Berlin's Olympiastadion several years ago. It was played again this time, which made many Dortmund fans sitting in front of the TV extremely emotional.
if……
Tang Zheng could not repay the love of the Dortmund fans. He could only bow 90 degrees to the passionate Dortmund fans and thank them for their support.
Of course, Tang Zheng did not ignore the Real Madrid fans and the Chinese fans who came to Berlin's Olympiastadion to cheer him on.
Without the support of these lovely fans, it would be difficult for Tang Zheng to perform well, let alone score a winning goal.
Any player on a big occasion cannot do without the silent support of fans behind him.
…
The next day, the world's sports media focused on the 2014-2015 Champions League final that ended last night at Berlin's Olympiastadion. Real Madrid equalized twice after falling behind, and then Tang Zheng scored the winner.
The contrast between the Triple Crown champion and the Sanya champion is quite obvious, especially since the two teams are mortal rivals in the national derby.
There is no doubt that it will be difficult for Barcelona fans to hold their heads high in front of Real Madrid fans for a long time to come.
The entire Real Madrid team took an open-top bus to the Plaza de la Harvest in the center of Madrid that afternoon. In addition to the Big Ears Cup they had just won, they also had the previously won League Championship trophy and Copa del Rey trophy.
This is the first triple crown in the history of Real Madrid, so the only road from the Bernabeu Stadium to the Plaza de la Harvest is surrounded by Real Madrid fans.
Basically every Real Madrid fan was enthusiastic, singing the team song, and marched all the way into the Harvest Goddess Square with their heads held high.
At the same time, Florentino and his legal team are in intense negotiations with Fabino Rodrigo.
In the end, there was no other choice but to accept Fabino Rodrigo's request to double his annual salary.
In other words, Tang Zheng's annual salary after tax has changed from the original base of 12 million euros to 24 million euros after tax, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo to become the highest-paid player in the team, and also surpassing Messi to become the highest-paid player in the team. The veritable working emperor of world football.
If various bonuses are added, Tang Zheng is likely to receive an after-tax salary of close to 30 million euros in the 2015-2016 season.
