Midfielder Ruler

Ninety minutes of regular time ended and the game entered stoppage time. Tang Zheng also planned to use his personal ability to find opportunities even though Real Madrid's frontcourt players were not united in thinking.

His first attempt was not successful, but he was tripped to the ground by Koke who was actively defending.

However, it was a blessing in disguise. Koke's foul caused him to receive his second yellow card of the game. Therefore, two yellow cards were changed to one red and he was sent off.

As the entire stadium erupted with huge boos, Tang Zheng followed Isco's outstretched right hand and stood up, then took a deep breath, looked up at the goal, and felt that the foul spot was about three meters away from the goal. Fifteen meters.

Although the distance was beyond the shooting range, Tang Zheng was ready to give it a try.

After all... nothing is absolute, what if it happens?

At the same time, a close-up shot of the on-site director was shown next to the middle circle.

Fans sitting in front of the TV can clearly see a scene that makes people rush with adrenaline. Atletico Madrid assistant coach Boggs stood on the sidelines and yelled at the referee Ferrero. Even Balset ·The two assistant coaches, Yang Nei and Biscayino, are difficult to hold back.

It wasn't until the addition of physical coach Menendez that he could barely hold back the grumpy Boggs.

Immediately, Boggs' violent reaction 'won' the attention of referee Ferrero.

Referee Ferrero received the reminder from the fourth official. After dealing with Cork's two yellows and one red, he jogged to the sidelines, then took out a red card directly from his trouser pocket and showed it to the home team's assistant coach Boggs. .

Uuuuuu——

Suddenly, even louder boos erupted above the Calderon Stadium.

The momentum was so great that it made people feel upset and angry, and it was very strong.

Boggs, who has a fiery personality, did not become timid at all because referee Ferrero gave him a red card. On the contrary, he showed signs of breaking out.

Fortunately, the home staff reacted quickly at this time and cooperated with three assistant coaches to drag the huge Bogues away from the stadium.

As for where they went, the on-site director did not give any close-ups.

Central 5 commentator He Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly: Atletico Madrid assistant coach Boggs is a temperamental person. Every time Atletico Madrid is treated unfairly, he will stand up.

Of course, there is no problem with the penalty this time. Koke committed many fouls on the defensive end, so the referee Ferrero was not targeting Atletico Madrid. It can even be said that he took care of the home team. If it were placed in the European competition, there would be at least six fouls in this game. Cork had already been sent off, and when the game went into stoppage time, two yellows turned into one red, which was already a victory...

During the conversation, the on-site director switched the camera to show the location of the foul.

Tang Zheng was bending over to place the football. When Cristiano Ronaldo changed from two yellows to one red, he naturally became the number one set kick taker in the Real Madrid team.

As long as he wants to play, no one will compete with him.

Of course, I don’t dare to grab it.

As the first person to join Real Madrid, in a sense he has certain privileges.

In addition, Tang Zheng's ability is indeed outstanding, and his free kick skills are even better than Cristiano Ronaldo's, so no one can 'steal the limelight' at this critical moment.

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois studied the scoring methods and shooting techniques of every Real Madrid roster player before the game. Tang Zheng, as a player that Real Madrid relies heavily on offensively, is also in the focus of Courtois' research.

But Courtois is not too worried about this direct free kick, which is about 35 meters away from the goal, because he has studied Tang Zheng's free kick scoring method. The shortest distance for his free kick is from the penalty area line, and the farthest is just Thirty-three meters.

It will be difficult to control the angle if it is farther than thirty-five meters. After all, if the distance is too far, you need to pursue power.

As the strength increases, footwork control becomes more difficult.

So Courtois didn't care much about this direct free kick, which was about 35 meters away from the goal. He just arranged a three-man wall symbolically, while the other six were responsible for marking other Real Madrid players in the penalty area.

For a direct free kick that was too far away, Courtois believed Tang Zheng would pass the ball instead of shooting directly.

After all, Real Madrid is behind in the score. If Tang Zheng squanders the limited opportunities, the pressure he will bear will be unimaginable.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray looked at the broadcast and said: The referee Delgado Ferrero finally gave the Atletico Madrid player a yellow card, but the game has already entered injury time, and the impact on the game has already been It’s not big, and the foul spot is relatively safe. It can be said that Atletico Madrid’s defense was very successful.”

As soon as he finished speaking, guest commentator Martin Taylor said: I don't think your point of view is correct. Dear Andy, I believe that Don has the ability to turn the tide at critical moments. He is a player who is good at creating miracles, so this view Tang may seize an opportunity that doesn't seem like an opportunity unexpectedly.

Do you believe him so much? Andy Gray turned his head and looked at his partner Martin Taylor meaningfully.

Of course! Martin Taylor nodded lightly, full of confidence: Because... he has always been like this!

By the time the broadcast screen showed the location of the foul, the game time was close to the fourth minute of stoppage time. In other words, if the referee Ferrero on duty did not give an extra point as appropriate, as long as Real Madrid took a direct free kick, it would be It is very likely that the full game will be blown.

Of course, this situation is difficult to happen. After all, the problems of Atletico Madrid player Koke and assistant coach Boggs delayed some game time, and the Madrid derby is watched by the whole world, and referee Ferrero will not appear like this. a fundamental mistake.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif looked at Tang Zheng who was pointed at the broadcast screen. He frowned and said with a serious expression: Four minutes of injury time are coming soon. Tang Zheng, who is standing in front of the football, can grasp this moment. Will he get another chance? Will he hit the goal directly or look for his teammates?

The tone of Central 5 commentator He Wei also changed from the original low tone to the current deep voice: When Ronaldo was sent off, Tang Zheng took over the right to take penalty kicks in the threatening position of Real Madrid's frontcourt. This time Will he choose to shoot directly? Or...believe in his teammates' ability to outflank? But no matter what the choice is, I have to admit that there is not much time left for Real Madrid.

Uuuuuu——

At the same time, the home fans at the Calderon Stadium burst into hysterical boos.

They used this method to express their strong dissatisfaction with referee Ferrero and at the same time put pressure on Tang Zheng, who was preparing to take the direct free kick.

Ancelotti looked particularly nervous in front of the visiting team's coaching bench. As the team's offense entered stoppage time, he had no choice but to rely on set-piece attacks to try his luck. Therefore, Ancelotti could only pin his hopes on On Tang Zheng.

At the other end, the home team coach Simeone, whose mood had returned to normal, looked at Tang Zheng, his proud disciple.

Don't know why. Looking at Tang Zheng's back, he felt a strong feeling of panic.

Not many people noticed that Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been standing at the entrance of the player tunnel, looked at Tang Zheng through the gap in the staff. He closed his eyes silently and prayed in his heart, hoping that Tang Zheng could bring hope to Real Madrid.

Under the current situation, it is naturally impossible to reverse Atletico Madrid in the away game, but it must at least equalize the score, right?

Koke, who also had two yellows and one red in this game, was the same as Cristiano Ronaldo. He did not return to the locker room, but stood directly in the player tunnel, which is the other side of the corner where Cristiano Ronaldo was leaning.

Cork had only played against Tang Zheng a few times, only four games, but he could always feel Tang Zheng's strength and strength.

From his perspective, he could only see Tang Zheng's profile.

The distance between the two was nearly sixty meters, but Kirk could clearly see Tang Zheng's handsome and confident face.

His heart sank. He didn't know if the foul just now was really worth it...

Catalonia, a luxury villa area in Barcelona, ​​Barcelona's star Messi is sitting on a luxurious sofa, his eyes fixed on him, looking at Real Madrid No. 10 Tang Zheng shown in the broadcast, and he has a little expectation.

Barcelona had defeated visiting Almeria 4:1 at home before the start of this game, which is equivalent to tying Real Madrid in points and only one point behind Atletico Madrid.

If Atletico Madrid finally wins 1:0 at home against Real Madrid, the lead will become four points.

The most favorable result for the winning Barcelona is undoubtedly that Real Madrid finally draws with Atletico Madrid, so that Barcelona is only two points away from Atletico Madrid and one point away from Real Madrid.

Whether it's one point or two points, it's not even as satisfying as a victory.

After three rounds, Barcelona will visit the Bernabeu and face Atletico Madrid at home in the final round of the league. As long as they win both games, the championship will be guaranteed!

So Messi was looking forward to it in front of the TV. He hoped that Tang Zheng could help Real Madrid equalize the score.

As for how far away the direct free kick is from the goal, Messi did not think too much.

In short, Messi hopes that Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will eventually draw.

At the same time, Tang Zheng, who received the most attention at the Calderon Stadium, took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled it.

For Tang Zheng, the huge boos that erupted at the Calderon Stadium did not have any impact at all, but this opportunity was probably one of the few opportunities Real Madrid had before the end of the game.

Even though Tang Zheng has performed well since joining Real Madrid and has been seamlessly connected, if he squanders the opportunity in the battle for the top spot in the league, he will inevitably be criticized by the media after the game.

The pressure on Real Madrid players is not comparable to that of ordinary teams. Last summer, Real Madrid spent nearly 200 million euros in the transfer market, attracting the attention of the world.

If Real Madrid misses out on the league title this season because of a loss in this game, you can imagine the overwhelming criticism if you use your imagination.

Tang Zheng shook his head, throwing away the unnecessary thoughts, then stepped back far enough and stood still on his feet.

Maybe it didn't feel good, so he moved two steps to the left, making it sixty degrees to the football.

Then raise your head and chest, and look at the goal through the wall.

The football is placed slightly to the right, which is more suitable for left-foot kicking.

Of course, the right foot is also fine, but there are not as many options as the left foot.

Courtois' position is very conventional. The wall blocks the near corner. He stands on the left side of the center, which is the far corner.

At the same time, in order to prevent Tang Zheng from giving the ball to his teammates, he did not stand on the goal line, but moved slightly forward by about half a meter.

Seeing this, Tang Zheng's eyes lit up and he knew what to choose.

Beep~

At this moment, the referee Ferrero blew his whistle.

The huge boos at Calderon Stadium then reached the highest pitch in the audience. The home fans hoped to use this method to influence Tang Zheng, who took the set kick, and at the same time affect the normal mentality of other Real Madrid players.

Tang Zheng had no extra thoughts outside the game. He was only thinking about how to break Courtois' goal.

Under the wild boos of the home fans, Tang Zheng started to run.

His first two steps were not very wide, until the last step, he stepped forward with his left foot, about 30 centimeters to the left of the football. His body's center of gravity was slightly tilted to the left, at about 60 degrees with the ground, and his left arm was naturally Open up, maintain body balance, and swing your right foot from back to front like a whip.

Boom~

Tang Zheng's right foot hit the middle and lower part of the football hard with the instep, and then made a crisp collision sound.

After completing the batting action, Tang Zheng did not close his legs, but his whole body rose into the air with his right foot.

Because only in this way can all the strength of the whole body be gathered at the same point, making the shot more powerful!

The three-man wall formed by Gabi, Thiago and Christian Rodriguez subconsciously jumped when they heard the sound, but compared to the speed of football, it still seemed half a beat slower.

The home fans behind the goal had a better view. They looked at the ball as if they were being choked and couldn't make any sound.

Goalkeeper Courtois was standing on tiptoe with his feet, ready to make a save at any time.

When he saw the football flying over the wall, his first reaction was a sudden thump in his heart.

But Courtois did not forget to move his feet. He stepped forward with his right foot, then tensed the sole of his foot, and dropped his body's center of gravity slightly. He started exerting force from his knees, and with the help of the reaction force brought by his entire body, he instantly jumped into the air, and his right hand reached into the void. go……

The football was like a cannonball, flying towards the upper left corner of the goal without losing speed.

late!

Courtois is nearly two meters tall, with a wingspan longer than that of an average goalkeeper, and his reaction speed in front of the goal is first-rate. Therefore, Real Madrid has not lost any of the two rounds of the Madrid derby in the league, but this time his diving action is compared to football. The running speed is still half a beat slower.

The football almost brushed against Courtois' outstretched right fingertips and flew towards the upper left corner of the goal. It did not stop its momentum until it was restrained by the snow-white net.

Goooooooooooooooooal——

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif suddenly stood up from his seat and raised his voice.

At the same time, British Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor raised his arms before Andy Gray and shouted: Incredible! Incredible! Don did it! His direct free kick broke the goal guarded by Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Helped Real Madrid equalize the score at the end of stoppage time! Long live!

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice suddenly rose an octave and he shouted: What a script! Tang Zheng helped Real Madrid equalize the score at the last moment! If I remember correctly, this direct free kick was the first in Tang Zheng's career. The furthest goal ever! 1:1!
