With the three long whistles of the referee Clattenburg, the second leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League quarter-finals between Dortmund and Real Madrid came to an end.

The two sides eventually tied at 2:2, and Real Madrid as a guest qualified for Dortmund's qualification to advance to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League with a total score of 4:3.

At the same time, in another Champions League quarter-final in Munich, Germany, Bayern Munich defeated Red Devils Manchester United 3:1 at home and advanced to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League with a total score of 4:2.

The full-time whistle had just been blown at the Westfalenstadion. Dortmund players playing at home slumped on the ground lonely, holding the grass with both hands, looking regretful.

In the entire stadium, except for the fans in the south stand, fans in other stands set off towards the various exits at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then left the stadium.

The close-up shot of the on-site director was shown in the stands, which gave Dortmund a sense of tragedy in the first half of the game.

If the whole game ends according to the first half score, the team that advances to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League will be the defending champion Dortmund.

But there are no what-ifs in the world. The reality is before our eyes. Real Madrid players celebrated wildly and selflessly for the team's entry into the Champions League semi-finals for four consecutive years.

Tang Zheng, who personally ruined Dortmund's promotion path, did not celebrate with his teammates. He is now in a heavy heart. The feeling of sending Dortmund away from the semi-finals of the Champions League is tantamount to rejecting his beloved goddess.

That feeling is uncomfortable.

Especially when he saw the complex expressions of his former teammates showing unwillingness, loneliness, and helplessness, Tang Zheng felt very uncomfortable.

But as the former Dortmund captain, he felt a sense of responsibility in his heart, which prompted him to become a Dortmund player.

Tang Zheng was officially selected as the man of the match. The live director's close-up camera was pointed at him for a long time, so fans who were sitting in front of the TV without changing the channel could see Tang Zheng briefly hugging his teammates before going to Area where Dortmund players are located.

In the broadcast, Tang Zheng could clearly be seen reaching out to pull up the nearest Dortmund forward Lewandowski, patting him on the shoulder, and then walked towards Gotze, Reus and others.

Even though Tang Zheng and Mkhitaryan had never been teammates, he patted his shoulders and said a few words of encouragement.

Central 5 commentator He Wei saw this and said emotionally: The most painful thing in the world is to send your favorite team into the abyss with your own hands.

Dortmund without Tang Zheng is no longer as brave as it once was, but Tang Zheng, who values ​​​​love and friendship, can never forget those four years of struggle. I once interviewed Tang Zheng and asked him whether the team he could not let go of the most was Dortmund or River Plate. Tang Zheng Zheng answered Dortmund without hesitation...

When Tang Zheng comforted the eliminated Dortmund players, the sluggish atmosphere at the Westfalenstadion improved significantly. The die-hard fans group headed by the South Stand erupted in unison: Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang——

From the beginning, most Dortmund fans loved Tang Zheng deeply, because without Tang Zheng, Dortmund would not have won the unprecedented triple crown in the Bundesliga, let alone the annual sixth crown.

The most glorious season since the establishment of Dortmund was undoubtedly the 2012-2013 season. This season, it can be said that the importance of the team is not as important as that of Tang Zheng. It can even be said that Tang Zheng single-handedly led Dortmund to the top.

So even if Tang Zheng finally chooses to leave Dortmund for the more influential club Real Madrid, the die-hard fans who love Dortmund will not have any resentment.

Tang Zheng has left Dortmund with too much glory, and also left 125 million euros (20 million euros in floating terms). Thinking about Dortmund's bankruptcy ten years ago, what else can you ask for?

Dortmund does not have the support of countless large companies like Bayern Munich, so Tang Zheng's departure becomes logical.

Finally, after comforting his teammates, Tang Zheng walked towards Dortmund coach Klopp, raised his right arm, held Klopp's outstretched right hand, and showed an apologetic smile: Sorry Jurgen, I have to send you off the Champions League. .”

It's okay, it's just an expected result. Klopp was not as sad as he was at the end of the game. Instead, he patted Tang Zheng on the shoulder: You stepped on Dortmund's shoulders to enter the semi-finals. If you don't win the final champion, me and...

At this point, Klopp pointed to the stands: Neither I nor the fans will let you go, you know?

Tang Zheng listened to the loud shouts coming towards him. He held his head high and was full of confidence: Champion? You know me, that is my favorite thing.

The Dortmund fans at the Westfalenstadion noticed Tang Zheng's attention, and they created an even greater momentum: Ouch, ouch—

※※※

The next day, the headlines of the European mainstream media basically revolved around Tang Zheng. With three goals and one assist in two games, it can be said that Real Madrid's promotion to the semi-finals of the Champions League was accomplished by him alone.

Bayern Munich defeated Red Devils Manchester United 3:1 at home and received so little attention that many Bayern Munich fans felt very unhappy.

In the past, it was okay to steal the headlines of supporting the team in Dortmund, but now to join Real Madrid and steal the headlines, it is really intolerable.

Therefore, many Bayern Munich fans on Twitter hope that the team they support can draw Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final draw, and then give Tang Zheng and Real Madrid a good education.

Bayern Munich fans are full of confidence this season. Bayern Munich, coached by Guardiola, plays controlled football to dominate the Bundesliga, so they are careful enough to believe that Bayern Munich with the Tiki-Taka tactical system can definitely defeat Tang Zheng and Cristiano in the Champions League. ·Real Madrid led by Ronaldo.

At noon that day, the entire Real Madrid team took a flight from Dortmund back to Madrid to prepare for the weekend's league match against Almeria at home.

At the same time, they also have to focus on the 2013-2014 King's Cup final at the Mestalla Stadium next week, against Barcelona.

For this reason, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti went to the Calderon Stadium to watch the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona at home in the evening, making a final inspection for the Copa del Rey final.

Since Atletico Madrid drew 1:1 with Barcelona in the first leg at Camp Nou, Atletico Madrid, which returned to home in this campaign, only needs a 0:0 game to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals.

So even when playing at home, Atletico Madrid put on a defensive posture.

The Atletico Madrid fans at the Calderon Stadium did not question Simeone's tactics, but instead cheered and cheered as hard as they could.

It was because of the strong support of the home fans that Atletico Madrid finally defeated Barcelona 1:0 despite passive defense throughout the game. Atletico Madrid also had three shots that hit the crossbar, otherwise the game would have lost suspense.

It is worth mentioning that in the post-match statistics, Messi ran 6,853 meters, only 1,500 meters higher than goalkeeper Pinto.

Ancelotti, who watched the game in person, seemed to have found the game tactics against Barcelona in his heart, because Atletico Madrid had already given the best demonstration.

Of course, this does not mean that Real Madrid will defend in the Copa del Rey final, but that they will look for counterattack opportunities under the premise of solid defense.

The main reason why Messi ran more than 6,000 meters across the field was that Barcelona had an absolute advantage and Atletico Madrid gave up control of the football. The lack of space hit Messi so hard that his enthusiasm was reduced to a minimum... …

At the same time, in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at Stamford Bridge in England, Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2:0, with a total score of 3:3. Mourinho's team advanced with the advantage of more away goals. To the semi-finals of the Champions League this season.

At noon the next day, the 2013-2014 Champions League semi-final draw ceremony was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon.

Before the draw ceremony began, many media believed that Real Madrid was likely to draw Chelsea.

According to the nature of UEFA's draw, those who are related have a high chance of being drawn together, but Real Madrid was ultimately drawn to Bayern Munich.

Although Real Madrid did not draw Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern are not without stories to tell.

This season, Real Madrid did not encounter Bundesliga teams except in the group stage. They met Bundesliga teams in the 1/8 finals and 1/4 finals. Counting Bayern in the semi-finals, it means that they met all Bundesliga teams in the knockout stage.

In the history of the Champions League, it is also a unique existence.

In addition, the relationship between Tang Zheng and Bayern Munich is very deep, deep enough to write a long book.

In the summer of 2009, Tang Zheng was supposed to join Bayern Munich. However, a physical examination report issued by the Bayern Munich team doctor led to Tang Zheng eventually joining Dortmund.

The rise of Dortmund was created by Tang Zheng.

Later, Dortmund suppressed Bayern Munich for three consecutive seasons and became the new overlord of the Bundesliga. In the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons, Dortmund led by Tang Zheng was breathless and won the Sanya title for two consecutive seasons.

For the Spanish media, their focus is different. With Barcelona being eliminated by Atletico Madrid, this season's Champions League final is likely to create new history.

Real Madrid drew Bayern and Atletico Madrid drew Chelsea. If Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid eliminate Bayern and Chelsea respectively, then Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, their rivals in the same city, will meet on the stage of the Champions League final for the first time.

The first time they met in the Champions League final was Real Madrid and Valencia, but it was definitely the first time they met in the Champions League final when they were rivals from the same city.

The two legs of the Champions League semi-finals are still some time away for Real Madrid. The games currently in front of them are the domestic league and the Copa del Rey final, so the attention of the two legs of the Champions League semi-finals has to be postponed automatically.

At the weekend, Real Madrid welcomed Almeria, the second-last team in the league, at home.

Before that, Barcelona was a guest to challenge Granada.

I don’t know if the elimination by Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek affected the normal mentality of the Barcelona players. They actually lost 0:1 away to Granada.

When the news reached Madrid, the Real Madrid players were in a panic, because Granada had not yet escaped from the relegation circle. As a championship team, Barcelona actually lost to a team striving to avoid relegation. It would give people a very strange feeling. An unexpected feeling.

With the news of Barcelona's loss, Real Madrid, which kicked off later at the Bernabeu Stadium, defeated the visiting Almeria 4-0 without a fight at home.

With the three points scored at home, Real Madrid moved one point ahead of Barcelona to second place in the league, only one point behind Atletico Madrid, which starts tomorrow night.

But the Real Madrid fans who won the game were not happy. Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored Real Madrid's second goal, was replaced by Morata shortly after, and the injured position was his left foot, which has been plagued by injuries this season. knee.

You must know that Cristiano Ronaldo, who is in excellent form this season, has been troubled by knee injuries. Otherwise, Real Madrid's results in the league will be as good as the Champions League, and they will be the best.

At 6 pm local time in Spain the next day, the powerful Atletico Madrid defeated Getafe 2-0 as a guest, regaining their points advantage over Real Madrid.

However, the Real Madrid team did not pay attention to Atletico Madrid's league because they had already expected this result.

Winning is normal, drawing or losing is unexpected.

Therefore, the attention of the Real Madrid team shifted to the next Copa del Rey final after the league ended, facing Barcelona at the Mestalla Stadium.

The 33rd round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season has come to an end. Atletico Madrid ranks first with a four-point advantage, followed by Real Madrid. With only five rounds left in the league, the competition for the league title this season has become increasingly interesting.

The competition for the league title is interesting, and the mainstream media in Europe are paying full attention to it, so the following Spanish Copa del Rey final also receives huge attention.

Previously, Barcelona lost two consecutive games in the Champions League and the league, and star Messi was criticized by the media as worthless. Whether the Copa del Rey final at the Mestalla Stadium can change the decline is the focus of media controversy.

In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo also became the focus of the media when he was injured in the league.

In the first half of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid had few offensive moves without Cristiano Ronaldo, resulting in a two-goal deficit at halftime. If Cristiano Ronaldo misses the King's Cup final again, many media I'm not optimistic about Real Madrid at first, even if Tang Zheng is in extremely hot form.

After all, Tang Zheng couldn't be both a father and a mother.

Real Madrid fans have been a little panicked by the news reports they have seen in the past two days. They don't know whether Cristiano Ronaldo can play in the Copa del Rey final.

Real Madrid officials and Cristiano Ronaldo have not responded directly. In this context, it feels like a cover-up.

as expected!

Cristiano Ronaldo was not included in the 18-man roster for the Copa del Rey final submitted the day before the game, which means that Cristiano Ronaldo will miss the Copa del Rey final this season due to a left knee injury.

If it were normal times, Cristiano Ronaldo might insist on playing, but the World Cup is getting closer and closer, and he does not want to miss the World Cup, so he chose to rest on the advice of the team doctor, and after the King's Cup final, there is a more important Champions League semi-final. finals.

Which one is more important, Cristiano Ronaldo can clearly distinguish.

In the blink of an eye, the Copa del Rey final of the 2013-2014 season is here, and Real Madrid meets the challenge of Barcelona at the Mestalla Stadium.
