Chapter 110: World Cup 30-Person Preliminary List
Real Madrid defeated Bayern Munich 4:2 at the Bernabeu Stadium and advanced to the 2017-2018 Champions League final with a total score of 7:3.
For many media and fans, this is an expected result. After all, Real Madrid's overall strength is stronger than Bayern, and Real Madrid won a two-goal away game in the first round. They only need to hold on to the victory when they return to home.
Coupled with Bayern's nemesis Tang Zheng's outstanding performance against Bayern in the past, the media and fans have enough reasons to believe that Real Madrid and Liverpool will join forces in the Champions League final in Kiev this season.
However, it has extraordinary significance for the Chinese media and Chinese fans. Lu Liang, who moved to Liverpool from Dortmund last summer, will directly compete with Tang Zheng on the stage of the Champions League final.
In other words, for the first time in the history of the Champions League final, the Chinese Derby will appear at the Olympic National Stadium in Kiev, becoming the focus of attention of the majority of Chinese fans.
Due to the outstanding performance of Salah and Mane, Lu Liang was very depressed at the beginning of the season and had few playing opportunities.
It wasn't until Coutinho moved to Barcelona in the winter window that Klopp boldly tried to let Lu Liang, who was excellent in speed, passing, dribbling and shooting, try Coutinho's core position in the tactical system.
Even Klopp didn't expect that his attitude of trying would bring such a big effect. Lu Liang performed well in the new position and even fully activated Mane, Firmino and Salah to help the ball. The team has continuously defeated super strong teams such as league leaders Manchester City and Manchester United in the Premier League.
The performance was even more obvious in the knockout stages of the Champions League, following Liverpool all the way to the semi-finals. Unfortunately, the yellow card he received in the first round caused Lu Liang to miss the second round. Otherwise, Liverpool would not have lost to Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.
Despite this, Liverpool returned to the Champions League final after ten years.
The crazy Tang Zheng on the Chinese Internet is also paying attention. As the current representative of the Chinese international football team studying abroad, Tang Zheng has x-on:Lü Liang on Weibo and Twitter, and he has made an appointment to play in the Champions League final.
Yang5 has set a title for the Champions League final to be held at 8:45 pm on May 26, local time in Europe, that is very suitable for the match between Tang Zheng and Lu Liang - Maxima vs. Bole.
Fans who have followed Chinese football in recent years know that the reason why Lu Liang was able to join the Dortmund youth team was entirely due to Tang Zheng. In other words, without Tang Zheng, perhaps Lu Liang would have just finished college and then worked a job to support his family. Work, spend a lifetime doing nothing...
Even though Lu Liang was extremely talented, he could not afford the ravages of time on his talent.
Closer to home, Real Madrid, who have advanced to the Champions League final, still need to concentrate on preparing for the second leg of the 2017-2018 La Liga El Clasico at Camp Nou on the weekend.
If Real Madrid can remain unbeaten on the road, they will become the La Liga champions in the 2017-2018 season.
Of course, even if Real Madrid loses to Barcelona at the Nou Camp, it will not affect their championship prospects.
Real Madrid's remaining two league opponents are Celta Vigo and Villarreal. Two teams with no worries about relegation and no hope of European competition will naturally not fight with Real Madrid to win the 2017-2018 La Liga championship. The hope is still very high.
But Tang Zheng does not want to leave the league championship to the last two rounds. After all, the last round of the league is only six days away from the Champions League final. If the team wants to defend the Champions League championship, it must get sufficient rest time, so Tang Zheng is Consciously communicate with teammates when preparing for the game, and be sure to determine the league championship at Camp Nou!
Real Madrid players are not stupid. As long as they remain unbeaten at Camp Nou, they can win the league championship and then have enough rest time to prepare for the Champions League final.
If we lose at Camp Nou, there is a high chance that something will happen to the league champion.
Once they lose the last three rounds in a row, then... they will become the laughing stock of the world.
In order to prevent this possibility from happening, we must escape unscathed at the Camp Nou!

The thirty-sixth round of the 2017-2018 La Liga season kicked off at the Camp Nou, with Barcelona facing Real Madrid at home.
Before the game started, the live broadcast was very effective and successfully captured a very interesting scene. Liverpool head coach Klopp and assistant coach Kravitz came to the Nou Camp.
Obviously, the purpose of Klopp coming to the Camp Nou to watch the El Clasico after get off work was for the Champions League final in Kiev!
Because Bayern did not put up much resistance in the midweek game at the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid coached by Zidane only made rotations in two positions.
Isco replaces James Rodriguez and Casemiro replaces Modric.
There are only three rounds left in the league, and Barcelona is still seven points away from Real Madrid. Even though there is still a theoretical hope of winning the league championship, almost all Barcelona players have no hope of winning the league championship.
From the first second of the game, Real Madrid players showed confidence in winning, while Barcelona players lacked the desire to fight and made judgments.
Messi used a long shot from outside the penalty area to help Barcelona open the scoring in the 17th minute of the game, but Tang Zheng soon responded by using a direct free kick to equalize the score.
Before the end of the first half, Bell's goal helped Real Madrid take the lead.
The second half of the game was the same as the El Clasico that ended at the Bernabeu Stadium in the first half of this season. Barcelona's offensive line led by Messi and Suarez was completely unable to pose a threat to Navas' goal.
In the 68th minute, Tang Zheng took advantage of an outflanking opportunity in the penalty area to expand the score, from 2:1 to 3:1.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"
The Camp Nou stadium was completely silent. Real Madrid fans who traveled with the team took advantage of the rare opportunity to vent their emotions and created huge cheers.
Valverde, who accepted Barcelona last summer, had no choice but to strengthen the offense, but his tactical adjustments failed to bring about essential changes to the team.
In the end, it relied on a penalty kick awarded by the referee that could or could not be awarded to tie the score to 2:3. However, Real Madrid, who had withdrawn their troops, protected the defense line well, and Tang Zheng and Casemiro also protected the back line. Deliberate protection, the score did not change at all until the end of the game.
2:3

Before the Camp Nou achieved a double win over Barcelona to win the league title, Real Madrid had already won the Copa del Rey and entered the Champions League final...
Real Madrid, which has already won two championships, is very likely to defeat Liverpool, who are seriously inexperienced in the Champions League final, at the Kyiv Olympic Stadium to defend the Champions League.
