Chapter 174
When Zheng Long was desperately rushing back, the Zaragoza players rushed to chase, trying to intercept the ball from Bakambu's feet.
Seeing that there was no way to continue to rush forward, Bakambu directly shot a long-range lob in the midfield.
"Bakambu has a shot!"
The commentator Zhan Jun roared, and he couldn't help standing up from the commentary seat
Can you score?
Villarreal coach Marcelino ran and stood on the sidelines, his eyes fixed on the ball flying in the air.
"Ah ah ah..."
Countless fans on the pitch opened the ball, staring nervously at the ball flying towards the goal.
When Vallejo saw the ball flying over, he kept backing away, backing up...
Just when Zheng Long was nearly 20 meters away from the goal, the ball fell first.
Under the gaze of the audience, the ball fell from the right side of the goal and flew out of the baseline.
It's not that easy to shoot a half-court lob.
Under the wind in the air, the ball is too easy to deviate from the track.
If you want to lob a goal directly at halftime, you need a lot of luck.
This time the goddess of God did not stand on Villarreal's side, nor favored Bakambu.
Seeing that the goal was not scored, Zaragoza fans breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.
"I was taken aback. I thought the goal was going to be scored!"
"Me too. I almost thought the goal was going to be scored!"
"Hey. As long as the interceptor stays in front of the goal. Why take a free kick. His footwork is really bad?"
"However, we are leading by two goals now. Even if the opponent scores one goal, the victory still belongs to us!"
"Ah! That's what I said, but it should be better if you have zero opponents!"
"I think it's okay. It's a win anyway. Isn't it fun to have a thrill at the last moment?"
……
Seeing that the goal was not scored, the Villarreal players were very frustrated.
They all bowed their heads and sighed.
Villarreal coach Marcelino is also very helpless.
Although doomed to lose, 2-1 is better than 2-0.
Hey……
Seeing that the goal was missed, Zaragoza coach Popovich breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Zheng Long with some resentment.
Just guard the goal well.
To kick some free kicks.
Although it is a 2-goal lead, allowing the opponent to score one can still win.
But who knows what will happen to the game.
There is a famous saying about getting back on the football field.Don't give up until the last moment.
Bayern's painful lessons back then were very profound!
Although Popovich was very reluctant to let Zheng Long take a free kick.
But now he is going to kick, who can stop him.
Fortunately, Zheng Long only tried to kick a free kick at the last moment of the game, and it was still when the team had already secured the victory.
Otherwise it will be really difficult!
Missing this opportunity, Villarreal never had another chance to score.
The Zaragoza players are probably also afraid that Zheng Long will take another free kick.After they got the ball, they just fell in the backcourt and stopped attacking.
There was not much time left, and the Villarreal players no longer stepped forward to press.
As soon as the game time was up, the referee immediately blew the whistle for the end of the game.
In the end, in the 9th round of La Liga, Zaragoza's home game against Villarreal was fixed at 2-0, and Zaragoza at home took all 3 points.
Zaragoza fans cheered and celebrated the victory.
Zheng Long stood in front of the goal, looked at the opposite goal, and shook his head.
Free kicks are not so easy to practice.
This time the attempt failed again!
Just keep practicing!
……
After this round of the league, Zaragoza won two consecutive victories and continued to be strong.
In the league standings, Zaragoza has 24 points, ranking second in the league, and continues to maintain pressure on Barcelona.
So far this season, the odds of Zaragoza have soared all the way, from 1 to 86 at the beginning, to 1 to 9 now.
It is already one of the favorites to win La Liga, second only to Barcelona and Real Madrid, ranking third.
The better Zheng Long performed, the more news about Zheng Long's transfer on the newspaper network.
Such as:
"Zheng Long's agent Mendes met with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez."
"Zheng Long publicly shows his favor to Real Madrid!" and other information.
There are even some authoritative reporters who vowed to publicly state that: Real Madrid has reached an agreement with Zaragoza.Real Madrid paid 4 million euros, plus a young goalkeeper, trade interceptor Zheng Long.As soon as the winter transfer starts, Zheng Long will transfer to Real Madrid.
These news appeared in a large number of newspapers and magazines during this period, and there was a feeling that Zheng Long had identified Real Madrid and would not go to Real Madrid.
Zaragoza can achieve such results this season, Zheng Long is the biggest contributor.
If Zheng Long transfers to Real Madrid, what can Zaragoza do?
In the past few days, more and more fans have gone to protest in front of the Zaragoza club.
Valdano, the general manager of the Zaragoza club, has come forward to explain several times, and the club's official website has also refuted the rumors.
But even this cannot convince the fans.
No way, everyone knows that it is difficult for small clubs to retain world-class stars.
And small clubs will also take the initiative to sell the team's superstars for funds.
Before the training started that day, General Manager Valdano approached Zheng Long first.
"Dragon, we need to hold a press conference! Come appease the fans!"
"What is it, sir!"
"It's about you about the transfer!"
Zheng Long pondered for a while, and said: "Yes. But I hope the press conference will be held tomorrow. Because I need a little time to organize the manuscript! I will not be asked by the reporter suddenly when I get it, and the answer is wrong!"
"Okay!" Valdano paused and asked, "Zheng, if you really have the idea of transferring, I hope you can tell us the truth so that we can deal with it!"
"I still say that. I will abide by the contract!"
"I see!" Valdano already understood what Zheng Long meant. "Then the press conference will be at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning!"
"it is good!"
On October 10, the conference room of the Zaragoza Club.
Accompanied by Valdano and Popovich, Zheng Long attended the press conference.
After the speech was placed on the table, Zheng Long officially began to speak.
"The rumors about my transfer that have been circulating on the Internet during this period are all rumors. I have been very good in Zaragoza. The players have treated me very well, and of course the fans have treated me well. I can't think of a way to The reason for leaving. I will continue to stay in Zaragoza! So the news about my transfer can stop!"
When they heard that Zheng Long held a press conference, many reporters were prepared.
They were all taken aback when they heard Zheng Long's speech.
"Marca" reporter Miguel Angel asked anxiously. "Zheng, are you deciding to play for Zaragoza all your life? Are you sure you don't want to play for a giant like Real Madrid?"
Zheng Long was silent for a while, and said: "I dare not make too many guarantees for the future, after all, the future is full of uncertainties. I can only say that I will be loyal to the contract!"
Valdano didn't want the reporters of "Marca" to continue pestering him.
he asked aloud. "Now everyone is clear. Zheng will continue to stay in Zaragoza and will not leave. The rumors about Zheng's transfer should stop! Otherwise, we will appeal to the Football Association for those clubs who spread rumors and want to take advantage of the fire!"
Although Valdano didn't say it clearly, Zaragoza will play against Real Madrid in the next round.
Those fine-looking reporters couldn't hear the hints from Zaragoza's general manager.
The rumors on the Internet are all news released by Real Madrid, when they intend to disturb the stability of the team.
The media didn't care if it was true or not, they all started to hype the focus battle a week later.
In the next round, Zaragoza will go to Madrid to challenge Real Madrid away.
Although Atletico Madrid is strong, like teams like Valencia and Deportivo, they are more like spoilers.
After all, La Liga is dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Real Madrid, led by the famous Spanish coach Benitez, has not performed badly this season, with a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.
But compared with Barcelona, which has won 9 consecutive victories, and Zaragoza, which has 8 wins and 1 loss, it is much worse.With 20 points now, they rank third in the league.
The third place in the league is a very good ranking for many teams.
But for a giant like Real Madrid, it is unacceptable for a giant that fails to win the championship.
Real Madrid's goal this season is very clear, which is to win the championship.
Now Benitez is under a lot of pressure, facing the main league rivals, and it is still at home, Real Madrid must win this game.
In order to shorten the gap with the top of the list.
Similarly, if you want to win the championship, Real Madrid is also an opponent that Zaragoza can't get around.
There is no doubt that Real Madrid's home game against Zaragoza will be the focus of the next round of the league.
The direct collision of the two favorites will definitely affect the situation of La Liga this season.
If Zaragoza can become the biggest dark horse in La Liga this season, and win the La Liga championship.
They will also get comments like "Zaragoza Miracle!" "Super Zaragoza!"
Zaragoza and Real Madrid are two teams that have won the championship in the league. In the strong collision between them, which team will be better?
All the answers to the mysteries will be revealed at Real Madrid's home stadium on October 2015, 10.
The last time I played against Barcelona, although I lost.But it also gave Popovich some confidence.
We almost resisted even the powerful offensive firepower of Barcelona.
Facing Real Madrid this time, resistance should not be a problem.
And compared to Barcelona, it is obvious that the Real Madrid system led by Benitez is somewhat chaotic.
To be precise, their midfield was a bit chaotic.
Rodriguez, Chris, and Modric are all players who can serve as the team's No. 10, and they are also the kind of players who are strong offensively and defensively weak.
Benitez is not Ancelotti.
Benitez is a master coach in terms of tactics and on-the-spot command, but his shortcomings in controlling the locker room and handling the relationship between players.
There is no way to settle the player's problem, so all three No. 3s have to be on the field.
In order to put all these players into the team, Real Madrid does not have a defensive midfielder with strong interception ability.
This has caused Real Madrid's defense to be somewhat weak, and there are often problems in offense.
When it's time to stabilize the situation, or when it's time to speed up, the three midfielders often don't work together.
This has resulted in a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss so far this season.Ranked 3rd in La Liga.
Although there are problems in Real Madrid's midfield, Ronaldo and Bell are the kind of players who can penetrate the opponent's entire defense line by themselves.
Plus Benzema who is willing to be a green leaf.
Real Madrid's forward line is still very strong.
If you think so, you will definitely lose miserably.
Popovich watched the video for two days in a row, and his mind was full of studying the tactical characteristics of Real Madrid.
The BBC offensive combination is definitely capable of tearing apart any line of defense of any team.
Is it conservative against Real Madrid?
Or is it a gamble?
……
Zaragoza attaches great importance to this game. Similarly, Real Madrid coach Benitez also attaches great importance to this game.
Now Real Madrid only has 20 points, almost 7 points behind the leader Barcelona.
Benitez is under a lot of pressure.
This game against Zaragoza must be won in order to have a chance to catch up with Barcelona.
Real Madrid coach Benitez studied Zaragoza's previous game video, hoping to find a way to deal with Zaragoza.
Like all coaches, after watching Zaragoza's game, Benitez realized that to deal with Zaragoza, the first thing to do is to deal with the interceptor.
As long as the gate of the interceptor's handle is conquered, other can be said.
How to break through the gate he is guarding?
……
On October 2015, 10, at the press conference before the game.
This powerful dialogue attracted many reporters, especially sports reporters from China and Spain, as many as a dozen.
Real Madrid coach Benitez was interviewed by reporters,
CTV5 live reporter Wang Nan asked.
"For today's game, is your team confident of beating Zaragoza?"
Benitez replied cautiously. "The interceptor Zheng Long is very good. With him, it is not easy to attack his goal. But I believe my players will find a way to attack his goal!"
The first question was just a routine one, Wang Nan pressed on. "There are rumors that Real Madrid wants to buy Zheng Long. Is there such a thing?"
Benitez is also aware of the rumors in the world.
This is the strategy of Sanchez, the general manager of Real Madrid.
Benitez has no objection to the introduction of Zheng Long.
"Zheng Long is a world-class goalkeeper, and that team doesn't like it. If he is introduced, of course I will welcome him!"
Benitez dare not directly say that the team wants to buy Zheng Long, which is against the rules.
But he played a flower gun.He didn't directly say that he bought Zheng Long, but just expressed his respect for Zheng Long.
……
The same Zaragoza coach Popovich also accepted the interview.
"Mr. Real Madrid coach thinks they will win this game. What about you, Mr. Ranko? What do you think?"
Popovich also said cautiously. "C Ronaldo is an excellent player, he is very competitive. I believe he will try his best to win this game. We need to give him enough pressure!"
Popovich not only commented on Ronaldo, he also mentioned Bell.
"Bell is a very fast player with excellent skills. His breakthrough will cause great trouble to our defense! There is also No. 9, their BBC combination, which will cause great trouble to our defense. Threat. Any negligence, one of the three of them can kill us! I hope my players will maintain a high level of concentration in this game."
……
On October 2015, 10, the sixth round of La Liga.Real Madrid host Zaragoza.
In order to attract the vast number of Huaxia fans, the game time is set at 23:[-] BJ time.
CTV commentator Zhang Lu shouted.
"Dear viewers, welcome to watch the 10th round of La Liga. Real Madrid will play against Zaragoza at home. Real Madrid has a lineup of 433 for this game.

After Zhang Lu introduced the lineup of the home team Real Madrid, Zhan Jun said.

Defenders from left to right are J. Fernandez, Cabrera, Jesús Vallejo, Djibril Sidibe
The midfielder is composed of Galareta and Alamo.
Right midfielder Costa, midfielder Pedro, left midfielder Nani
