In the mid-week UEFA Champions League, Yang Yang didn't play, and he didn't even make the big roster.
Everyone knows that, against Dynamo Zagreb at home, the probability of Real Madrid winning opponents is very high, and it does not even need to use the nuclear weapon Yang Yang.
And the facts prove that this is the case.
In the opening two minutes, David Silva assisted Ibrahimovic to score.
In the seventh minute, Ibrahimovic assisted Robben to score.
Then in the ninth minute, Morata took a pass from Aveloya and broke the goal, expanding the score to three to zero.
In the 20th minute, Ibrahimovic assisted Modric to score.
After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, Varane made a long pass in the backcourt, Robben easily counter-offside successfully, drove the ball all the way into the penalty area, scored with a single goal, and expanded the score for Real Madrid to five to zero.
Subsequently, Morata and Ibrahimović played a quick cooperation, straight into the penalty area, Ibrahimovic leaned on the back of the body, backed up with a stop, rushed directly into the penalty area, and pushed successfully, six Than zero.
After winning the big score, Real Madrid relaxed the offensive, Dynamo Zagreb counterattacked for dignity, and then scored a goal. In the end, Real Madrid was at home with Ibrahimovic's outstanding performance, six Dinamo Zagreb beats madly.
In the group's five-game winning streak, Real Madrid held their heads as the group's first without any suspense.
But it was Modric who surprised the team even more.
The Croatian midfielder was praised by the media as "White Harvey" after the game, meaning that he was Real Madrid's midfield Harvey.
Judging from this game, although he only scored one goal, but after partnering with David Silva, he helped Real Madrid lock the midfield firmly, allowing Real Madrid to play very smoothly in the first 70 minutes, the organization There was a wave of offensives.
According to the media comments after the game, Real Madrid not only has possession of the ball, but also has a full offensive offense. Even if the front-court players have a better ability to seize the opportunity, they should score at least five or six goals in the first half.
"He is a keen and insightful player!" Marca applauded after the match.
Real Madrid's locker room is also very positive for Modric's performance, especially after four months of joining the team, the Croatian midfielder is obviously getting better. Ancelotti is against David Silva, Modric and Ere. Midfielders like La and Xavi Alonso have special preferences.
If the existence of Harvey Martinez and Mascherano ensure Real Madrid's midfield defense, then in Ancelotti's mind, these four midfielders represent Real Madrid's midfield organization ability and creativity.
And Kaka is still working hard for transformation, but it is really not much time to be able to leave him.

…………
At 20 o'clock on the evening of November 26, the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.
In the fourteenth round of La Liga, Madrid's derby battle, Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid.
It's a derby, but I don't see the kind of passion that half a million people have, because Atletico Madrid haven't been able to win the derby in twelve years. This is a terrible number.
Before each derby, they vowed to break the fate of the past, but after each game, they failed to reverse the situation and always fell again at the feet of Real Madrid.
Former Chairman Lao Hill once said that as long as he can win Real Madrid, it does not matter if he loses to the world!
This sentence has always been the motto of Atletico Madrid, and this season's bed linen team is also a lot of money. It has introduced stars such as King Falcao. There are also strong players such as Diego, Savio and Felipe. Felipe was Yang Yang's friend during his time with Ajax.
Head coach Manzano was obviously well prepared, opening the game firmly, blocking the first wave of Real Madrid's attack, and waiting patiently for the opportunity, and finally in the fifteenth minute, directly hit Marcelo behind, launched by Savio on the right Counterattack, Falcao hit the goal from a small angle to counter offside and set a record for Atletico.
This looks like a rhythm of the game to be upset.
But Real Madrid is not a fuel-efficient lamp in its own home.
In the twenty-fourth minute, after Yang Yang got the ball in the middle, he turned to get rid of the defensive player, drove the ball forward, and went straight into the penalty area to find Ibrahimović, but this season's outstanding loan from Chelsea to Atletico The Belgian goalkeeper Kurtova was forced to abandon the goal and attacked. Without preventing Ibrahimovic, he directly fell the Swedish center to the ground.
The referee gave a penalty for a red card and a penalty kick. Ibrahimovic originally wanted to give Yang Yang, but Yang Yang resigned and eventually hit the penalty in person to equalize Real Madrid.
After changing sides in the second half, Real Madrid launched an offensive, Yang Yang forced a cross from the left, Ibrahimovic in the middle deliberately missed, Robben followed to hit the shot and reverse the score for Real Madrid.
In the sixty-fifth minute, Marcelo scored the ball in the backcourt and launched a counterattack. Godin made a mistake. After Ibrahimovic snatched the ball, Yang Yang burst into the penalty area and passed the bench goalkeeper Asenjo , Succeeded in pushing the empty goal, three to zero.
Then in the 82nd minute, Yang Yang passed the ball with Ibrahimovic. Godin fouled outside the penalty area and was sent off with a red card. Yang Yang personally took the free kick and immediately scored the score.
Four to one, in the end Real Madrid won the Atletico Madrid at home with Yang Yang's two shots and one pass.
Twelve years of unbeaten derby records have been continued after this game.
...
When Real Madrid won Atletico Madrid 4 to 1 at home, the Barcelona team was also in Madrid, but at another stadium, Getafe's Alfonso Perez Stadium waiting for the kick-off.
In the middle of the week, Barcelona faced a hard fight on the road. In the face of a Milan who was two times behind and equalized twice, Barcelona was eventually assisted by Messi. Harvey scored a key goal and defeated a Milan three to two. After trailing Real Madrid, qualifying for the top 16 with the group.
After the game, Guardiola's three-four-three play was praised by all media and fans, and many people even compared it with Cruyff's three-four-three in the dream team, because Guardiola was The core player of the dream team.
But maybe it was because of a mid-week killing of Milan, the player wasted too much, or for other reasons, Guardiola returned to the four back in the weekend playing Getafe.
The lineup is complete, the main force is exhausted, and even the newly joined ninth winger Sanchez has come back from injury, forming a trident with Messi and Villa, but this team has just beat a Milan at Sao Paulo Stadium, but in Argentina Fonso Perez Stadium had no way of defending Getafe, but in the 67th minute, Real Madrid youth player Sarabia passed a corner kick to assist Barrera with a header.
In the final stage of the game, Messi also had a shot after a chest stop in the penalty area, but was too angled and hit the post, which failed to help Barcelona equalize.
In this way, Barcelona lost to Getafe 0 to 1 away, and suffered their first defeat of the new season.
After this battle, the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid further widened to eight points.
...
After the game, the visiting team's locker room at Alfonso Perez Stadium was silent.
When Guardiola walked into this dressing room, he didn't say a word, but just sat in his place blankly, lowering his head, as if he was worrying about something.
This is not a game for him!
This is not a team he wants!
If the San Mames Stadium of Athletic Bilbao is a place where any team may lose points, then at the Alfonso Perez Stadium, it was not possible to take even one point away from Getafe. There is definitely a problem.
where is the problem?
Messi, Villa, Pedro, Sanchez, Fabregas, Iniesta ...
Barcelona's midfield attack is definitely not weak, and some people even overestimate the price. This set of strikers is worth at least 200 million euros. Even if it is not inferior to Real Madrid, the problem now is that the team faces Getafe. , It's hard to even score a goal.
Villa's state has fallen too fast, Sanchez has not yet integrated into the team, but these are not problems.
Outsiders don't know, but Guardiola knows very well that Barcelona's biggest problem today is its dependence on Messi.
It's as if Benitez's Real Madrid relied too much on Yang Yang on offense.
Messi has scored 70 shots this season, Barcelona has 217 total shots, Messi alone accounted for more than 30%, and the Argentine star has scored 15 so far The ball, the team only scored 38 goals, 40%, but Messi has only five assists this season, the decline is very obvious.
In other words, Messi is gradually turning into a scorer, which was not the case with Messi in the past.
Just to say that last season, he took everything in the frontcourt, except for corner kicks, he participated in almost all of Barcelona's offenses, so his goals and assists have created a career high.
But this season, Messi is occupying more shooting opportunities and reducing his investment in other aspects. Then this part of his reduction. In the current Barcelona team, no one can fill it. Instead, he is occupied. Shot resources have compressed the performance of Villa and other players.
The last problem becomes the way it is now. When Messi is in an unsatisfactory state, or when he is tired, Barcelona's attack has a problem. What's more terrible is that Guardiola, as the head coach, can't say anything about this .
He knew that Messi wanted to compete with Yang Yang, and Barcelona and Barcelona fans also wanted to see a more ambitious Messi, but the result was that the team had problems.
The management's meaning is that, like Real Madrid, the team and tactics are built around Messi, and the resources are tilted toward Messi to maximize him, training him to be a superstar like Yang Yang.
But this is not what Guardiola is willing to see, because the biggest difference between Messi and Yang Yang is that he is too emotional, and Yang Yang is always so calm, so stable, and sometimes even people doubt whether he is A robot.
Guardiola has no way to put his team's destiny on a player who is easily affected by emotions, neither Messi or Yang Yang!
