On the evening of March 10, at 20:45, the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.
Yang Yang was wearing a white Real Madrid jersey, standing on the left side of the middle circle, opposite his teammate Ibrahimovic.
Between them was the ball for the Champions League game sponsored by Adidas.
The Swedish center is Robben again, and on the side of the two, Real Madrid's own half direction is standing Sneijder.
Xavi Alonso and Mascherano form a double back, then Marcelo, Fermalen, Ramos and Avelloa, and finally the goalkeeper Casillas in front of the goal.
This is Real Madrid's main lineup in recent times.
This lineup is almost the same three days ago, also in this stadium, reversing Sevilla six to one.
It does n’t feel like just watching the score, and even seeing Real Madrid ’s 65.4 percent possession rate is nothing special, but in this game, Real Madrid scored 35 shots, reaching The highest since the season.
Even in the past few seasons, this match against Sevilla was the one with the highest number of shots.
Thirty-five shots, eighteen shots and scored six goals, this conversion rate is good enough, also proves that Real Madrid's current operation is becoming more and more smooth, the organization of the midfield and backcourt is becoming Getting better and better.
Sneijder recovered his best form and became the team's best passer. Xavi Alonso was responsible for the organization, Mascherano was responsible for the defense, and Real Madrid's midfield realized Benitez. The balance of offense and defense with high hopes.
But if only the team's offense is outstanding, it's no big deal, because after the winter break, Real Madrid's performance is a better one, especially in recent rounds, the team's offensive is a fierce one. No one in the world will question Real Madrid ’s offensive firepower.
But in this game against Sevilla, the real improvement is the team's defense.
In a game of more than ninety minutes, Sevilla had only two shots, and none of them scored the goal. The only goal came from Xavi Alonso's own goal.
Sevilla's performance in recent years has also been very impressive, second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, and even slightly better than Valencia. The attacking firepower is also very fierce.
However, such an opponent was forced by Real Madrid to have only two shots at home, and he didn't even have a chance to hit the goal once, showing how much defensive pressure Real Madrid put on the opponent in the whole game.
This piece of data has been unanimously praised by all media and professionals after the game. Everyone believes that Real Madrid's performance in this game is impressive, creating a good atmosphere for the next Champions League game.
Benitez used the lineup of the previous round against Sevilla in this game. Obviously, he also wanted to continue the previous good state of the team. He continued to oppress Lyon at his own home and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, achieving six years. The first breakthrough.
...
With the whistle of Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli, the focus battle officially kicked off in the sky of Bernabeu's cheers.
Ibrahimovic kicked the ball to Yang Yang first. Yang Yang turned around and passed back the first time. He crossed Sneijder and passed directly to Xavi Alonso.
Lyon's striker Benzema pressed tightly and quickly approached Harvey Alonso.
The Spanish midfielder moved the ball to the left and handed it to Marcelo.
Marcelo took the ball forward and tried to form a breakthrough from the left, but Lyon's players blocked him, forcing him to cross to Mascherano and hand it over to the midfield to reorganize.
The ball fell back and forth several times in Real Madrid's backcourt and came to Xavi Alonso's foot again. The Spanish midfielder made a diagonal pass and sent it directly to the frontcourt.
Ibrahimovic pulled back, stopped the ball on his back, and passed it back to Sneijder who was fast forward.
As soon as the Dutch midfielder received the ball, he hadn't had time to pass by. Lyon's midfielder Tulalang suddenly rushed up, and even someone took the ball to shovel him to the ground, giving Real Madrid a direct arbitrary 30-meter frontcourt Ball chance.
The distance was exactly thirty meters, and the position was right in the middle. Yang Yang went to the penalty spot unwillingly.
Seeing him, the whole Bernabeu stadium once again sounded the sky of cheers.
Yang Yang was unmoved. After setting the ball, he slowly backed away.
...
"This ball is there!"
In the Real Madrid stand, Zidane sat on Florentino's side and smiled towards Real Madrid.
"So sure?" Florentino was also very happy.
Soon, the chairman of Real Madrid remembered the news that the media exposed recently, saying that Zidane played a free kick with Yang Yang after training, and was defeated by Yang Yang.
"In this position, within thirty-five meters, Yang Yang's hit rate is very high, and very stable." Zidane said confidently.
Florentino nodded incessantly. "It's also not careless. After all, Lyon's human wall is not a dead thing on the training ground."
Bardano on the other side laughed, "I agree with Zinedine's statement, and I bet on Yang Yang."
Both the left and right arms support Yang Yang. Florentino really doesn't know if he should be happy or sad.
In fact, he also hopes Yang Yang can score.
The goal scored was a nightmare for Lyon.
By then, Pierre's team would have a hard time trying to push it out.
...
Not only the distinguished guests on the stands of Real Madrid ’s presidential stand understood this, but the audience inside and outside the stadium and in front of the TV also understood the situation. They also clearly knew that if this free kick came in, it would be a real help for Real Madrid. Opened the quarter-finals.
This was a goal scored in the first minute!
Why doesn't Yang Yang know?
But he was still the same as usual, his eyes closed, adjusting his breathing and emotions, and then slowly opened his eyes, looked at the wall in front of him, estimated their height, and the height they might jump up after a while.
After the Italian referee Rizzoli set up the wall, he slowly retreated and blew a free throw.
Yang Yang took a deep breath and quickly ran forward.
Lyon goalkeeper Loris stared at the front with a serious face, he could clearly see Yang Yang's every move.
When he heard the muffled free throw, his attention fell to the wall of the man, saw the ball quickly circumvented the wall, and came towards the goal, the French goalkeeper immediately judged the ball.
Right?
No, on the left!
After Loris moved a step to the right, he quickly judged the direction of the ball, quickly moved to the left, and the whole person flew out.
He is the left foot, his left hand is his dominant hand, he directly reached out his left hand, trying to block the ball directly.
But after he flew out, he found that the ball had suddenly fallen in mid-air.
This sudden change left him covered in an ice cellar, and his flexible left hand tried to reach down, but it was still out of reach.
The ball got into the goal of Lyon from Loris.
One to zero!
"Goalllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!!!"
"A direct free kick again!"
"Yang Yang!"
"In just one minute of the opening, Yang Yang opened the record for Real Madrid with a direct free kick!"
"My God, this free kick was very tricky. He almost rubbed the post and hit the goal. Although Loris judged the direction, the ball changed obviously in the air. In the end, the goalkeeper Lyon was still The whip is too long. "
After Yang Yang scored, the whole person clenched his fists in excitement and waved towards the air.
Real Madrid's players quickly flew from all directions. The team surrounded him in the middle, and everyone stepped forward to celebrate Yang Yang's goal.
All the fans of the entire Bernabeu also shouted Yang Yang's name with a scream.
hero!
This is their hero!
At critical moments, Yang Yang came forward time and time again and again and again to score key goals for the team. Such players are not heroes, who else is?
"Yang Yang's free kick accomplishment can be said to be fascinating. I believe that at this moment, if Lyon's original midfielder Juninho is still there, there will be a lot of competition between the two free kick masters.
"But now, although Lyon's midfielder has Pianic, a free kick teenager who replaced Juninho, but Real Madrid's Yang Yang is obviously better. He has scored consecutive free kicks."
"Obviously, Lyon should regret their mistakes, because they should not be within the range of Yang Yang and give Real Madrid such a good direct kick opportunity."
After celebrating with his teammates, Yang Yang turned to cheer for fans in all directions.
The entire stadium shouted his name, like a mountain tsunami, swept the entire Bernabeu Stadium.
And Yang Yang is the focus of everyone in the audience.
It was also at this moment that all talents really saw the quarterfinals!
...
The fans in the stands cheered, and Florentino and Real Madrid's VIPs in the chairman's stands were also gleefully celebrating.
The most happy is Florentino.
At his home court, Real Madrid's chairman didn't need to cover up the joy and excitement of his team when he scored. He couldn't help standing up from the seat and applauding Yang Yang in the stadium, then he sat back again.
"Sure enough, as you said, this ball is there!" Florentino laughed.
Yang Yang's goal is equal to his honor. Putting gold on his face, he is naturally inexplicable.
More importantly, this goal opened the door to victory for the team and opened the door to the quarterfinals.
This is something that everyone in Real Madrid has been struggling to look forward to in the past six years, but it is something that the Galaxy Warship Phase I and Calderon and others could not achieve.
Over the past six years, Real Madrid fans were rejected by the quarter-finals of the Champions League. How disappointed are their emotions, then at this moment, how excited and excited they will be.
Florentino even gave birth to an ambitious ambition, turned his head and nodded towards Zidane next to him: "If we can maintain our current status, not only the quarterfinals, I feel that the tenth Champions League is not far away. "
Zidane and Valdano also nodded.
is not that right?
