On the evening of December 22, Malaga Rose Garden Stadium.
In the seventeenth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Malaga away.
The team traveled long distances from Japan to return to the World Championships, and then went to the road to challenge Malaga. Ancelotti had to rotate the team lineup. Yang Yang was also put on the bench because he ran back and forth for two consecutive days. .
In the first half, both sides played zero to zero, and no one scored.
However, as soon as the second half started, Pellegrini's team took the lead in the attack. The Spanish teenager Isco, who had just won the European Golden Boy Award, volleyed with a kick and broke Casillas' goal for Mara. Plus first opening record.
This is the first Spanish player to break Real Madrid's goal at the Rose Garden in nearly twelve years.
Isco's player has been getting better and better in the last two or three seasons. This season, he has played well in La Liga and the Champions League. He led Malaga to beat Chelsea and other strong teams to the group. The first headed qualifying.
It is reported that Barcelona is salivating for him and always wants to get him.
One goal behind, Real Madrid had to make adjustments, Yang Yang came off the bench in the 60th minute.
Six minutes later, Xavi Alonso made a diagonal pass, Yang Yang pulled to the right side of the penalty area, turned to pass after the ball was stopped, Xavi Martinez then inserted the header and scored the goal for Real Madrid to equalize the score.
After that, until the 82nd minute, Camacho returned Demikelis' mistake and was intercepted by David Silva. He then passed the ball diagonally and sent it to the penalty area. Yang Yang ran out of the gap and no one was there. In the case of defense, a close-range push to break the goal for Real Madrid to reverse the score.
In the end, Real Madrid relied on Yang Yang's pass and shoot to reverse Malaga 2-1.
...
Reversing Malaga and winning 26 consecutive victories, Real Madrid tied the record created by Cruyff in Ajax, but the game was very difficult, especially Isco. Extremely active.
In contrast, the Real Madrid team is clearly in a downturn, but both the media and the fans are more forgiving.
Any team, like Real Madrid, has played so many games in a row, and has almost become a trapeze. The body of the iron can not be eaten, let alone defeated the opponent in the last game.
Malaga is not a weak player, this team's performance in the Champions League is enough to prove their strength.
Twenty-six consecutive victories, La Liga fourteen consecutive victories, Real Madrid away from Mancini's 17-game winning streak in Inter Milan that year, the distance is not far away, this is the longest streak in the history of the five major leagues in history .
While Real Madrid reversed Malaga 2-1, Barcelona beat Valladolid 3-1 away. Xavi, Messi and Tello scored goals.
With this goal, Messi continued to catch up with 26 goals, keeping a step away from Yang Yang's 27 goals.
Real Madrid was behind Barcelona by three points because of one game less, but it was six points more than Atletico Madrid.
After losing to Valencia and then losing to Real Madrid and Barcelona, the Bed Linen Legion is nowhere near as strong as the start of the season. This also proves that Simoni's team is still unable to compete with the Western Super League duo.
As for Falcao, who competed with Yang Yang and Messi for the shooter list at the beginning of the season, he has only scored 17 goals and has been far behind. It is really difficult to see signs of catching up.

After playing the seventeenth round of La Liga, the league closed, ushered in the Christmas and winter break.
However, this winter break is still not easy for Real Madrid.
Since playing one less King ’s Cup and La Liga, Real Madrid ’s winter break is shorter than other teams and needs to start early. The opponent is Vigo Celta, and after the winter break, a consecutive week of double games, playing La Liga And the King's Cup.
Because of this, the club's winter break holiday is only one week this year. After Christmas, it is necessary to return to the team for training on the 29th to prepare for the next King's Cup make-up.
At the club ’s Christmas dinner, Real Madrid President Florentino thanked the players for their efforts in the past year, and also expressed pride in the team ’s six consecutive championships and three consecutive Champions League championships. I hope everyone can take over again. Encouragement.
Not only that, although the Bernabeu stadium renovation project has started, Real Madrid has still honored the player ’s promise of bonuses, and also said that it will start a new round of player renewal plans, including Marcelo, Xavi Alonso and other players. It is already in progress, or the renewal contract has been negotiated.
Among them, Marcelo started talking before being injured. With his serious injury, Real Madrid did not suspend, but directly signed a renewal contract with him, leaving the world's top ranked left back to continue to stay in Real Madrid. .
Harvey Alonso ’s situation is relatively special. His contract expires in 2014 and there is still a year and a half now. Real Madrid hopes to renew his contract for two years and his salary will be appropriately increased. , But Harvey Alonso said he only hopes to renew the contract for one year, and then sign a year, depending on his status.
In addition, this time Harvey Alonso did not ask for a salary increase, because before that, Real Madrid took the initiative to increase his salary without asking for a salary increase, which made him to his current I am satisfied with the treatment, so I do not intend to ask for a raise.
In addition to Marcelo and Xavi Alonso, the renewal of some other players is also on the agenda, especially the young performers such as Hercet and Morata, who have performed well this season, are very optimistic about Real Madrid. player of.
...
Due to the tight schedule, Yang Yang did not go on vacation during the winter break. Instead, he made efforts to adjust his physical condition, especially his physical fitness, according to the plans of the coaching staff and Winston Bogard.
The pressure in the first half of the game was great, but the second half was obviously bigger and the challenge was even more difficult.
On the 29th of December, Real Madrid's second team at the Valdebebas training base, Castilla, played the first training session after the winter break at the Distifano Stadium and was open to fans. Attracted tens of thousands of fans to the scene to watch the game.
At present, there are two casualties in the Real Madrid team. One is Marcelo. His fracture has left him absent for nearly three months, but he has yet to see signs of returning to training. He will have to adjust his physical condition and state. It takes time, so the date of comeback is still far away.
Marcelo also came to the scene specially that day. He looks a lot fatter, which is also the result of long-term healing.
But for professional players, as long as they lack training for a long time, they will definitely be blessed.
There is also Fermalen, but his problem is a trivial matter. He had injured his leg before and was able to return to training in a few days.
But just after the first training session on the first day of the team's training, Real Madrid team doctors began to conduct a detailed medical examination of Pepe, because Pepe responded that he was suffering from pain in his right ankle during training.
When checking the results, Pepe must perform ankle surgery as soon as possible.
This is not a sudden injury, but a hidden danger that has accumulated for a long time. I may not have paid attention to it before, but I stopped after the winter break and started training again now.
According to preliminary estimates, Pepe will be absent for at least one month.
Marcelo, Fermalen and Pepe, at the beginning of the winter break, Real Madrid appeared injured again.
Even worse, Ramos received another yellow card in the match against Malaga, accumulating five yellow cards, and then in the eighteenth round of the home game against the Royal Society, he must be suspended.
As a result, Real Madrid's central defender has only one genuine card from Varane, as well as the versatile players Nacho and Aveloja.
But Real Madrid really don't have time to adjust and try slowly.

On the evening of January 3, the 16th round of the King's Cup knockout round was made.
Real Madrid challenged Vigo Celta away.
Ancelotti set a new line of defense in this game, Azpilicueta, Xavi Martinez, Ramos and Avelloa.
Harvey Martinez has played as a central defender before, and even Benitez once thought he would be an excellent central defender, but under Ancelotti, he has always been an important candidate for the midfielder, but now the central defender The position is short of manpower, and he has to retreat to the back line.
In the first half, the two sides were in a bitter battle, and their status was not ideal. Real Madrid took the lead in the second half with Xavi Alonso assisting Yang Yang to score, and then in the 78th minute, Robben went to the next city to help Real Madrid. Expand the score to two to zero.
But in the last ten minutes, Real Madrid encountered an indiscriminate bombardment by the opponent, and conceded a goal in the 87th minute. Finally, with the excellent performance of Casillas and Harvey Martinez , Which only saved the victory.
In the end, Real Madrid beat Vigo Celta 2-1 away.
Harvey Martinez, who returned to the position of central defender, was selected as the best player in the game, mainly because he was very impressed with his defense and shooting throughout the game, and his performance was remarkable.
...
Winning the 27th winning streak, Real Madrid broke Cruyff ’s streak record in Ajax, created a new streak record, created a new legend, and aroused the world ’s media and fans Extensive discussion and praise.
But for Real Madrid themselves, it did not mean a little bit happy.
Pepe has been absent for more than a month, Marcelo has come back without a timetable, Fairmaren has not recovered, Ramos will be suspended in the league, then the home game against the Royal Society, how to play?
There are only three days between the King ’s Cup and the 18th round of La Liga. There is no time for Real Madrid to think carefully, and all Real Madrid players are also trying to adjust their status, because playing Vigo Celta on the road The First World War was indeed a downturn.
Facing the royal society with such a performance, it is absolutely fierce.
Head coach Ancelotti also has no other choice but to exclude Harvey Martinez and Varane's central defender combination.
A friendly guest appearance, but fortunately the last time playing Vigo Celta showed very brave, one is a young teenager, can such a partner stop the Royal Society?
No one knows the answer, but it can only be put on the scalp.
