On the afternoon of March 2, the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.
In the 26th round of La Liga, Real Madrid face Barcelona.
In the current La Liga standings, Real Madrid ranked first with a three-point lead, and Barcelona ranked second, which made the game attracted the attention of the media and fans around the world, thinking that it will be a Mars hit the earth. Wonderful drama code.
After all, Real Madrid want to defend the top of the list, Barcelona is to tie the gap.
Especially three days ago, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 4-0 away and advanced to the final of the King's Cup, which made Barcelona feel humiliated. They threatened to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium to tie the points gap.
But in fact, in the game, everyone can't help but find that this is a dull showdown.
According to the famous radio commentator Della Morena, this is a game without rhythm and speed, but the two teams lack the ambitious ambition to make progress. It seems to be somewhat content with the status quo and contented with a draw.
"Perhaps, this is acceptable to them, because after three days, they will usher in the test of the second round of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, which is their focus."
Della Morena believes that it is not difficult to see from the starting lineup of both sides that neither team has done their best.
Needless to say, Real Madrid, the goalkeeper is Diego Lopez, the back line is Azpilicueta, Varane, Ramos and Avelloa, the midfielders are David Silva, Ha Vi Martinez and Modric, the frontcourt is a combination of Hazard, Morata and Di Maria.
Both Yang Yang and Robben were put on the bench, and midfielder Harvey Alonso was also on the bench. Carvajal, who represents the attack, did not start, but Awe, who has a stronger defensive ability Loya.
Barcelona also did not do their best. The goalkeeper is Valdes, the back line is Alba, Mathieu, Pique and Alves. The midfielders are Iniesta, Busquets and Tiago. It is a combination of Villa, Messi and Pedro.
Neymar, Sanchez, Xavi and Puyol all came off the bench.
This is definitely not something that was agreed upon by both parties before the game, but a choice that had to be made due to the immediate situation.
Three days later in the second round of the Champions League knockout game, both teams will usher in a decisive battle between life and death. Real Madrid will face the Shakhtar Donetsk in the main scene. This Ukrainian team is not bad. It is the strength of the top four.
Barcelona are even worse. They lost to AC Milan 0-2 in the first round. They must beat AC Milan at home in the second round, otherwise they will be eliminated from the Champions League.
Stopping at the quarter-finals, this is unacceptable for Real Madrid and Barcelona, and because of this, the two teams will choose to put water in the league appropriately.
...
Yang Yang was wearing a neat long-sleeved training suit sitting on the bench, but his attention was always on the court.
At present, the score of the two sides is one to one. Although two goals have been scored, the game is not good-looking.
Real Madrid scored in the sixth minute. After Ramos suddenly hit the midfield and intercepted the ball, he quickly scored on the right. Di Maria crossed the right and pushed the empty goal four meters before Morata.
But in the eighteenth minute, Barcelona hit the first goal of the game, Alves plugged into the frontcourt with a high speed, cut in to the middle to send a straight pass, penetrated Real Madrid's defense, Messi countered offside Succeeded, after getting the ball, left foot shot low.
Afterwards, the game went very dull, making people uneasy.
Yang Yang also frowned on the bench, apparently not satisfied with his teammates on the court.
"Azar is still tender." Harvey Alonso leaned to Yang Yang's ear and said softly.
Yang Yang nodded, "His character is still a bit soft."
Judging from the standards of ordinary people, Hazard's character is excellent, even as a friend, it is also quite good, but as the main star of Real Madrid, the future superstar everyone is looking forward to, Hazard's personality is still It's too soft.
His softness is different from that of Yang Yang. Yang Yang asked himself that he is externally soft and internally rigid. On the surface, it looks harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, he is very strong in the heart, likes to fight hard, and has high requirements for himself, but Azar is easy to meet Due to the status quo.
"There is also little experience in controlling the field. Many times he should stand up, but in the end he didn't handle it well." Harvey Alonso shook his head, mainly because of Hazard's lack of experience.
Being the core in Lille and being the core in Real Madrid are two very different worlds.
To put it more exaggeratedly, just pick a random player from Real Madrid and put it in Lille, which is absolutely the main level.
Therefore, in Real Madrid, you have to come up with your strength and performance to convince teammates, let them serve you.
Hazard's ability is undoubted, but it lacks a little bit of courage.
In other words, this sword is not sharp enough!
Di Maria on the right has performed very well. The opening assist for Morata was great, but his mentality seems to have been a little problem in the recent period. It is too easy to get a card.
"You still have to be careful yourself." Yang Yang saw Harvey Alonso staring at the frontcourt, and it was a bit funny. You said that you a midfielder cares about the frontcourt?
"You see, Harvey Martinez, Modric and David Silva controlled the midfield very well in this game. Barcelona's midfield is completely impenetrable and they are only given to them in 18 minutes. The first shot, if you go on like this, your main position is choking enough, but do n’t call it wrong when you lose it. "
"Relax, if I can't play the main force, I will change to a team that can play the main force." Harvey Alonso laughed and replied rightfully, he has a very clear plan for his career, His future will definitely appear on the coach seat.
This is why he did not ask for a salary increase when he renewed his contract with Real Madrid, because he valued the long-term development more, and not only the players, but also the future as a coach, but everyone outside was only staring at the contract Without paying attention to some other things.
After seeing Zidane approaching the bench, Harvey Alonso smiled at Yang Yang again, "It seems that I still want you to go."
…………
…………
"Yang, the draw is within our acceptance, but we hope you will give Hazard a lesson."
When Yang Yang stood on the sidelines, waiting for the substitutions to be adjusted, what came to mind was the meaning revealed by Zidane and Ancelotti, that is, the game can be a draw, because this is not a game that Real Madrid particularly values.
But they were all dissatisfied with Hazard's performance on the field for more than an hour. He did not realize all his potential.
Or it should be said that he needs some stimulation.
Therefore, Yang Yang replaced Hazard in the 63rd minute as the team's left winger.
This is the first time this season, Yang Yang has returned to his familiar left wing position.
Azar ran down from the field in a depressed mood, hugged Yang Yang on the sidelines and hugged each other. After encouraging each other, one went on the field and the other went off the field.
When Azar shook hands with Ancelotti and Zidane, both coaches let him sit on the bench, take a good look at Yang Yang's performance after playing, and see how the team's top star should play. , How to control the scene.
"You should study well with him, there are not many opportunities like this, and cherish it." Zidane reminded very seriously.
Everyone knows that Zardane ’s most idol is Zidane. At the same time, Zidane is also the main reason for him to join Real Madrid. Now even Zidane says so, showing that his previous performance is indeed disappointing.
But Hazard is also very eager and wants to see on the spot. In the end, how did Yang Yang, the world's top left-winger, play? How should he control the scene? Breaking Barcelona's defensive position?
"According to the current situation, Barcelona's possession rate is 72%, we only have 28%, but our chances are actually more, the key is to see how to use it, take a good look, concentrate Learn. "After Hazard sat down in Yang Yang's position, Harvey Alonso's eldest brother said a little.
Azar nodded silently, he also wanted to see it.
...
Real Madrid's ball control rate is not much, but the defensive and oppression are doing well, so Barcelona is still more in the midfield and back foot to control the ball, the number of passes to the front court is very small, which also makes Yang Yang take the ball There are not many opportunities.
After playing, Yang Yang's range of activities is not small, but basically in the middle and the left side, obviously also the role of entering the left forward, but he is almost static for a moment, has been running, looking for opportunities.
It wasn't until five minutes later that Yang Yang got a chance near the center line.
After receiving a pass from David Silva on the left side of the middle circle, there was no defensive player around. He turned and drove the ball forward, very fast, and at this time, there were four Barcelona around him. Defensive players are the late Busquets, right-back Alves, Pique and Mathieu.
Even so, Yang Yang still took the ball and quickly rushed forward. First, he used the speed to force away Busquets and rushed directly into Barcelona's defensive position, directly approaching Pique.
Barcelona's line of defense is to retreat and then retreat directly into the 30-meter area, and then retreat to the front of the big restricted area, so that Pique realizes that he can no longer retreat, must immediately stop Yang Yang to prevent him from entering the big restricted area.
But at this time, Yang Yang suddenly chose to change the offensive line, facing Pique directly from the original, suddenly slashing outward, striding the ball with a large stride, passing from Pike and Alves, directly killing Entered the restricted area.
Pique apparently realized the danger, struck Alves to the left and right, followed closely behind Yang Yang, but in the big penalty area, he did not dare to act casually, for fear of giving Real Madrid a penalty as in the last game. .
Yang Yang, under the attack of two players, suddenly made a sudden stop and accelerated the sprint in the penalty area. He simply created a space from Pique and picked up the pass to the middle road. Unfortunately, Morata of the middle road failed to follow up in time and missed Excellent opportunity.
When Yang Yang came out of the penalty zone with a wry smile, thunderous cheers burst out, and even Real Madrid players on the court were encouraged.
And this also made Azar on the sidelines dumbfounded.
This is the gap between him and Yang Yang!
