Vol 3 Chapter 73: Assist record in a single season

In the 2013-2014 season, the 26th round of La Liga ended. Atletico scored 64 points, Real Madrid scored 63 points, followed by 62 points in Barcelona, ​​ranking third in the league.

Before the start of the season, the media speculated that this season's La Liga title fight will be generated between the star-studded Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but this is not the case. The eight-game winning streak at the beginning of the horse race laid their first place in the league, so Many media changed their tone and included Atletico as a strong contender for the 2013-2014 La Liga title.

as predicted!

In the twenty-sixth round of the league, the gap between the three teams is only one point, and even the least promising Atletico can be ranked first.

Although the lead is only one point, many times the advantage of one point can determine the final league title at the final stage of the league.

The Spanish media has made a lot of analysis on the three teams. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid played two games, one draw and one loss. Real Madrid and Barcelona played once. They won the away game. Atletico and Barcelona played once. The overall record against Barcelona and Real Madrid in the league is dominant.

However, Atlético ’s last round of the league will be a guest at the Camp Nou to challenge Barcelona. If the league champion has not settled at that time, it will inevitably determine the final ownership of the 2013-2014 La Liga championship.

Real Madrid was a guest at the Nou Camp before defeating Barcelona. This season, they will play against Barcelona in the 29th round of the La Liga. If they can win again, Real Madrid will double Barcelona after the home and away doubles of Barcelona in the 2007-2008 season. The competition is very advantageous.

From the perspective of the league championship competition, the 29th round of Real Madrid vs. Barcelona and the final round of Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid will determine the ownership of the 2013-2014 La Liga championship.

But before the focus of the two championships, whether Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​or Atletico Madrid, they must first ensure that they do not make mistakes, and then wait for others to make mistakes.

If you make a mistake first, as the league reaches the end, it will become an irreparable mistake.

The Real Madrid generals away from Atletico Madrid quickly adjusted their focus of preparation, because then they have two league games and one Champions League 1/8 final round.

Regardless of the game, opponents are very good.

The league's two opponents, Levante, ranked 11th, behind Real Madrid by a full 30 points, and Malaga is the penultimate of the league.

The UEFA Champions League 1/8 final round because the first round won 6: 1 away, it means that Real Madrid can play at home Bernabeu's second round.

It should be known that the history of the Champions League has not seen a 1: 1 home team reversal on the road. It is not that this possibility will not happen in the future, but that Schalke 04 has limited overall ability in the league. In the case of a poor record, the Champions League 1/8 finals will be eliminated soon. They cannot give up the league ’s second round of the Champions League 1/8 finals for a theoretical possibility.

That's not worth it.

It is even possible to end up with a bamboo basket.

In the mainstream media reports in Europe also around the Madrid Derby just ended, the Real Madrid Club complained to the Western Football Association that the two yellows and one red of Cristiano Ronaldo were caused by the referee Ferrero ’s misjudgment, so Real Madrid hopes The Football Association opened the net and revoked the unneeded red card.

Results After studying, the Western Football Association did not make changes, but maintained the original judgment and automatically suspended for one round.

In other words, Cristiano Ronaldo could not participate in Real Madrid's home game against Levante, but the opponent's strength is limited, Real Madrid did not try to appeal again.

Rather than focusing on the penalties that are unlikely to change, it is better to take the next league seriously.

Levante's overall strength is weak, and Real Madrid is at home, with little impact.

Sure enough, Real Madrid defeated Levante at home 3: 0. Tang Zheng, who turned the tide at the Calderon stadium in the last round of the league, once again showed a good competitive state. One pass and one shot in the first half established Real Madrid's victory.

And his assists in this game also led him to 20 assists in a single season in La Liga, officially tied with Harvey's record of 20 assists in a single season in 2008-2009.

After the game, the focus of the media revolved around Tang Zheng's single-season assist record created by Harvey, because Tang Zheng used only 27 rounds to tie Harvey's record of one season.

In the 2013-2014 season, there are still eleven rounds in La Liga, so many media are speculating about what level of Tang Zheng's final assists will reach.

But regardless of the number of assists, Tang Zheng's assist record is likely to be difficult to break for a long time in the future.

Chinese domestic media even use this as a gimmick to celebrate the new record of Chinese players created by Tang Zheng in La Liga.

However, Tang Zheng himself seemed natural, and was not complacent because he tied the single-season assist record set by Harvey.

He knows that the season is far from over, there can be no slack, even if there is a little bit of results.

At the same time Real Madrid won the league victory, so did Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which means Real Madrid is still one point behind Atletico Madrid and one point ahead of Barcelona.

Coupled with the fact that after the second round of the Champions League 1/8 finals, they will face Barcelona at home, which is a six-point game.

In addition, Atletico is a guest to challenge Real Betis, the downstream team of the league. If there is no accident, Atletico in good condition won't be a problem, so for Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​it is not only a six-point game, but also It is a game that is determined to win.

Before the Champions League and the national derby, Real Madrid still have a guest league, Tang Zheng did not dare to relax.

Although Schalke 04 defeated Real Madrid 1: 6 at home, Ancelotti still made some adjustments to the lineup in the league. Tang Zheng, who had been a starter before, sat on the bench, and the team was led by Cristiano Ronaldo who returned from the ban. .

Many fans waiting for Tang Zheng to break the record of assists created by Harvey La Liga in a single season have been very vocal about Ancelotti's arrangement. After all, Real Madrid's 6: 1 victory over Schalke 04 basically means that Real Madrid advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season That is to say, Tang Zheng can completely take a break in the UEFA Champions League, or even not appear in the bench.

Therefore, these fans hope that Tang Zheng can temporarily focus on the league and then create his own record of assists in La Liga in a single season.

Of course, these fans are more Chinese fans.

After three months, the World Cup in Brazil will open. If Tang Zheng can continue the state, will there be a bigger surprise for the Chinese team ’s World Cup journey?

In the end, Real Madrid made a certain rotation in the lineup and finally relied on Isco's counter-attack to help Real Madrid beat Malaga 1-0 and win two consecutive league games.

Because Atletico and Barcelona also won the competition, there was no change in the ranking except for the increase in points.

As a result, the next national derby at the Bernabeu Stadium became more concerned.

The defending champion Barcelona ranked third in the league, two points behind Atletico Madrid and one point behind Real Madrid.

Compared to Real Madrid, who are at home, Barcelona cannot afford to lose.

They have lost to Real Madrid 1-2 at home before. If they lose again on the road, it's one thing to lose face, and the big difference in points is the most important.

There are fewer and fewer league rounds, and the more important Champions League event has reached the crucial stage of the knockout. The big teams will instinctively lean towards the Champions League.

It's even harder to try to chase points when the time comes.

Whether it is for Barcelona, ​​the national derby is also tolerant of Real Madrid.

The opponents of the Atletico League are the downstream team Royal Betis, and they are in good shape and they are reasonable to win ...

However, before that, Barcelona also scored in the second round of the Champions League 1/8 final this season, playing against Manchester City at home.

The importance of the Catalan media and even the national derby to Barcelona is the same as before the national derby this season, so the skills are reapplied, hoping to give Real Madrid tremendous pressure and make Barcelona profitable before the game.

In fact, I have to say that the Catalonian media is a big draw. Real Madrid ’s Champions League 1/8 final away 6: 1 victory over Schalke 04. Previously, Ancelotti made some adjustments to the team ’s lineup in the league for the Champions League. National derby after the game.

Schalke 04, who lost to Real Madrid 1: 6 at home, also made adjustments in personnel. The main players such as Hao Junmin and Huntelaar did not come to Madrid with the team, which is equivalent to giving up the Champions League in advance.

Ancelotti, who wanted to send a part of the main force, simply let some young but powerful players start the game and feel the top of the Champions League.

It is worth mentioning that Ancelotti's starting lineup did not remove the two cores, namely Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Especially Cristiano Ronaldo, he is eager to fight.

Previously, he scored 11 goals in seven Champions League games, which was only three goals away from the single-season scoring record held by Tang Zheng, Altafini and Messi, so Cristiano Ronaldo is fighting hard and hopes to soon Set a new goal record in the Champions League single season.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who is eager to fight, has not disappointed Real Madrid fans. He scored one goal in each of the second half, increasing the number of goals in a single season UEFA Champions League to 13 goals, helping Real Madrid win 3-1 at home. Gram 04, with a total score of 9: 2, advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season.

Tang Zheng, who started at the same time, did not score, but had two assists, respectively assisting Cristiano Ronaldo and Morata.

However, it is unacceptable that Hesse, known as the new Ronaldo, was unable to stick to the game because of a knee injury within two minutes of the game and was replaced.

According to the injury report given by Real Madrid the next day, Hesse ’s injury is not optimistic, but a torn knee cruciate ligament, which has a major impact on his career, has been determined to be absent from Real Madrid this season.

Hesse's serious injury made Real Madrid players and fans a bit sad, but life has to continue. After the Champions League, there is still a national derby related to the championship.

Barcelona won Manchester City 2-0 in the first round of the Champions League 1/8 finals, but Martino's team did not dare to neglect and still sent the strongest lineup.

It must be said that Martino's decision was very wise. The visiting Manchester City exploded with tremendous energy. Within ten minutes of the opening, Aguero scored a goal to reduce the total score.

Fortunately, Messi and Iniesta scored a goal to overtake the score, and in the next game, both sides achieved no results. Barcelona eliminated Manchester City with a total score of 4: 1 and advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League.

With the end of the Champions League in the middle of the week, the focus of the mainstream European media has flowed to the Iberian Peninsula and Madrid.

At the Bernabeu Stadium in the city center, there is a national derby that fans all over the world pay attention to.

Real Madrid face Barcelona.

Before Real Madrid beat Schalke 04 at home against Schalke 04 in the Champions League 1/8 final round, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo both showed excellent competition.

Especially when I met the character Cristiano Ronaldo, he scored a crazy 13 goals in eight games in the Champions League, only one goal away from the single-season goalscoring record held by Altafini, Messi and Tang Zheng. , Can be called a hot state.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice in the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals, has scored 242 goals in the club, tying Puskas ’total number of goals, and tied for the fourth scorer in Real Madrid ’s history. Second only to Sandy Lana's 289 goals, Di Stefano 305 goals and Raul's 323 goals.

It is important to know that Cristiano Ronaldo has only been in Real Madrid for five seasons since the summer of 2009. At the age of 28, he has maintained a very good state. At the end of his career, he will not exceed Raul's 323-ball club total goal record.

Faced with such a hot Cristiano Ronaldo, the Barcelona people already felt trembling.

But Real Madrid has more than Cristiano Ronaldo. Behind him, there is a modern midfielder Tang Zheng who can pass the ball and can be called the most scoring and passing ball among active players.

Facing the TC connection between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, the Catalan local media felt deeply powerless.

After all, one player's hot state is still relatively easy to solve, but it is difficult to deal with two hot players.

So Martino ’s coaching team ca n’t be too defensive ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ After all, Barcelona ’s best is not defensive. Their traditional Tiki-Taka tactics are the basis of fame.

In the internal training before the game, Martino put more emphasis on offense rather than defense.

Challenge Real Madrid away, Martino hopes that Barcelona will play against Real Madrid.

Messi, Neymar and Sanchez form an MSN offensive line that is not inferior to the combination of Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema TBC.

At the same time, the Real Madrid generals preparing for the national derby at the Valdebebas training ground are also conducting joint training.

The first round of this season's national Derby Real Madrid's 2-1 away defeat to Barcelona has a direct relationship with the defense, so the Italian coach Ancelotti's home battle is still defensive priority.

In an instant, the 29th round of La Liga 2013-2014 season came.

Football fans all over the world are looking at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, the 168th national derby in La Liga history.
