At 20:45 on the evening of April 5, the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.
In the first round of the Champions League knockout round, Real Madrid played against Tottenham.
Because the two sides competed in the group stage and knew each other, plus players including Yang Yang, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, and coach Benitez are very familiar with the Premier League, so the two sides do not have a little bit of politeness , Directly into the topic from the beginning.
Less than a minute into the opening, Yang Yang used a long shot, threatening Tottenham's goal and almost scored.
Then Yang Yang made another long shot and was saved by goalkeeper Gomez, failing to form a threat.
But in the fourth minute, Kaka picked a pass in the middle, Ibrahimovic knocked back, Robben hit a low shot from the right rib and left foot, opening the record for Real Madrid.
After leading, Real Madrid did not relax the offensive, but instead further increased the attack on Tottenham, which brought great pressure to the Premier League team, even the top Crouch was forced to retreat In the halftime.
In the eighth minute, when Crouch rushed near the center line, Ramos was knocked down and was warned by the referee with a red card. But only seven minutes later, Yang Yang, his former teammate, once again shoveled Marcelo in the frontcourt and was beaten by Germany. Referee Brich showed the yellow card again and was sent off with a red card.
The England center has encountered Benitez and Yang Yang again. Obviously, he still hopes to show a good performance in front of his former coaches and teammates, but he may be too eager to become calm enough to be sent off by a red card. .
But even so, Real Madrid will not be merciful to Tottenham.
At the 22nd minute, Real Madrid launched an attack on the left. Marcelo passed the penalty area diagonally. Yang Yang then inserted a small angle on the left side of the penalty area to hit the goal. The ball went under Gomez, rubbed the left column, and entered Tottenham's goal, two to zero.
In the 40th minute, Real Madrid won a free kick in the frontcourt, which was 30 meters away from the goal, but the position was in the middle. Yang Yang took the serve right and took the familiar pace and calmly The ball from the foot dropped the ball into the top right corner of Tottenham's goal again, three to zero.
Scored twice!
After changing sides in the second half and then fighting, Real Madrid is still on the offensive.
Tottenham are not as powerful as Real Madrid, and now they are sent off again, the situation is even worse.
In the 49th minute of the second half, Kaka sent a good pass for Yang Yang. Yang Yang volleyed the right foot of the front of the penalty area and hit the right post, popping the bottom line, but also shocked everyone's cold sweat.
In the fifty-eighth minute, after Yang Yang dribbled from the left, he was forced to the left area by the opponent and was forced to kick on defensive player Joel Luca to earn a corner kick. Then Yang Yang quickly sent a tactical corner kick and took the ball Kicked to Marcelo.
Brazil's left defender made a cross and accurately found Ibrahimovic in the penalty area. The Swedish center scored a header and scored 4-0.
In the 72nd minute, it was another pass from Kaka. After Robben cut the ball in from the right and vigorously volleyed it, five to zero.
And until the eighty-eighth minute, Kakala went to the left and after cooperating with Marcelo, it passed to the front of the penalty area. Yang Yang followed up and hit the shot, six to zero!
hat trick!
Yang Yang was so excited that the whole person forgot about it, quickly rushed out of the stadium, and rushed to the bottom of the stand where his wife Su Ye was, doing a pacifier celebration, was cheered by Real Madrid fans.
This is his fifth UEFA Champions League goal this season!
The 6-0 victory at home also basically judged Real Madrid to steadily advance to the semifinals of the Champions League.
…………
…………
When the German referee Brich blew the whistle at the end of the game, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Luka Modric, wearing a number 14 jersey, wiped his face hard to cover his face. Lonely look.
Finally, I still failed to cross the mountain of Real Madrid!
Tottenham's performance this season has been considered amazing, qualifying as the team's second place, but in the sixteenth round, they turned over a Milan, burst a big upset and advanced, everyone is right Tottenham's performance was surprised.
But after overthrowing the Red and Black Legions, the Tottenham team's ambitions also obviously expanded.
Whether it is Crouch or Van der Vaart, they all want to prove themselves in front of Real Madrid. They are inextricably linked to Real Madrid or Real Madrid ’s generals. As the core of the team ’s organization, Modric also wants to prove yourself.
Although, many people feel that he no longer needs to prove it.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Juventus ...
There are many teams chasing him. Three of the Premier League giants have already extended an olive branch to him as early as the winter break, but at that time he was determined to play for the Tottenham Champions League knockout and declined all invitations.
In the two rounds that overturned a Milan, Modric proved his strength and value with performance. He let everyone see that he is already one of the best organization midfielders in European football.
But deep in his heart, he still wanted to do more and do better.
Even, there was a voice deep in his heart telling him that if he could turn Real Madrid, it would be considered a real upset.
I believe it is not just him. Tottenham are going up and down, including coach Redknapp.
But tonight, in the Bernabeu, Real Madrid used a disparate strength gap to completely crush the hopes of Modric and his teammates, but also crushed his slightest fantasies of Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham is only Tottenham after all!
For a long time to come, it is impossible to expect him to compete with the giants, especially the top giants like Real Madrid, which is unrealistic.
Modric has never concealed that he is an ambitious player. From an early age to a big one, he is eager to do better and eager to overcome everyone. Then through the European Cup, he stepped onto the stage of the four major leagues and became the core soul of Tottenham.
But now, he is very clear that he has reached the limit in Tottenham.
If he wants to go further, he must leave Tottenham Hotspur, leave the cage that restricts his play, and go to a wider stage, such as Manchester United or Chelsea.
As Modric lowered his head and was about to walk down the court, he was suddenly stopped by a figure in the middle.
...
"You performed well tonight." Yang Yang smiled and extended his right hand.
Modric was somewhat excited when he saw him.
The first person in world football is now standing in front of him, reaching for him.
"Thank you." Modric quickly grabbed Yang Yang's hand. "You performed better, staged a hat trick, and your team played even better. Even without that red card, we couldn't stop it."
During the speech, Modric could not conceal the lost look on his face.
In this game, Real Madrid bombarded 36 foot shots. Tottenham only had a poor four-foot shot. One shot was right. This is definitely a huge gap.
More importantly, as the core of the midfield organization, Modric is very clear that Real Madrid's pass success rate is too high.
There may be reasons for the number advantage, but Tottenham are really difficult to grab the ball from Real Madrid's mistakes.
"We have a break on the weekend, and the state is really good, but to be honest, you have a few passes and dribbling in this game, and the loss has nothing to do with you." Yang Yang comforted.
Modric knew that this was comforting him.
In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
When the team suffered a disastrous defeat, no player was spared.
"I think Tottenham has restricted your play." Yang Yang said with a smile.
Modric frowned, somewhat stunned, then raised his head violently, looked at Yang Yang in disbelief, how many words he spoke from this remark, did he say ...
Yang Yang saw Modric ’s look and knew that the smart Croatian midfielder guessed what he meant, smiled, and patted Modric ’s arm. To improve our midfield strength. "
"Think about it."
After speaking, Yang Yang said goodbye and turned away.
Modric looked staring at Yang Yang's back as he turned away, but his heart was already turning up a huge wave.
Does Yang Yang send an invitation to him on behalf of Real Madrid?
Did Real Madrid take a fancy to itself?
How many professional players dream of being able to compete with Yang Yang, the world's first football player?
Modric was stunned.
When Yang Yang came over to talk to him and turned around, the process took a very short time. It seemed that Yang Yang came to politely placate him, say a few words, and get to know each other.
But tonight, Yang Yang conveyed these words, but Modric felt unprecedented shock.
Join Real Madrid?
Team up with Yang Yang?
This was something he didn't dare to think about anyway.
In Tottenham Hotspur, only one player has had the experience of Real Madrid, that is the Dutch golden boy Vandervat, but his Real Madrid journey ended in failure, but this does not prevent him from becoming Tottenham Hotspur. Top star.
In recent years, apart from Barcelona players, who is not eager to join Real Madrid?
...
Yang Yang did not know what Modric's reaction was after hearing the words, and he did not know what he thought in his heart. He just sent some goodwill signals on behalf of Real Madrid management.
This was mentioned by Valdano and Yang Yang before the game. He hopes Yang Yang can talk to Modric because Croatian midfielder mentioned in an interview during the UEFA Champions League group stage that he really appreciates Yang Yang.
"You know, many times, you come forward and say a few words, which is more effective than we say.
Yang Yang was doing this for the first time. Before talking to Canales, the latter took the initiative to come to the door, but Modric may be different. This is a famous European midfielder.
Of course, Yang Yang also knew clearly that he was just giving a kind invitation on behalf of the locker room. As for whether Modric is willing to join, it also depends on his own wishes and whether Real Madrid can issue orders for him and Tottenham. Tottenham are satisfied with the conditions.
But anyway, he was quite proud to be commissioned by Real Madrid to do this.
