In the 27th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Vigo Celta away.
In this game, Real Madrid rotated a total of seven positions. Only goalkeeper Diego Lopez, left-back Marcelo, midfielder David Silva and forward Yang Yang continued.
In two-line operations, rotation is inevitable.
However, the extensive rotation made Real Madrid very unsatisfactory in the first half, especially in the away game against Vigo Celta. In the first 20 minutes, the home team let Real Madrid fall into the offside trap seven times. , Yang Yang alone created four times.
In the fortieth minute, Yang Yang created an excellent opportunity to pick the pass to the left behind, and Hesse inserted it to form a single pole, but this talented teenager with Real Madrid's high hopes did not get up and hit the door for the first time. But chose to stop the ball.
Undoubtedly, he stopped the ball beautifully and stopped well, but missed the best opportunity to kick the ball. Then the goalkeeper blocked the shot and his shot hit the goalkeeper.
To this end, Yang Yang also gave Hesse a special and severe lesson, believing that he should just start the kick just now, without having to stop the ball.
Perhaps knowing that he had made a mistake, Hesse was more active. After a minute, he continued to sway on the left road against the defensive player. The bottom pass to the goal, Yang Yang was under the left and right of the two central defenders. Head shot from close range, but hit the crossbar and rebounded back.

On the evening of March 16, the Bernabeu Stadium.
In the 28th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Real Mallorca.
Between the 27th and 28th rounds, Real Madrid received an extremely rare one-week break this season. Ancelotti even took two days off for the team to let everyone relax and adjust their status.
A week later, against Real Mallorca, Real Madrid's state, physical fitness, and morale are quite good, and they have controlled the initiative from the beginning.
But in the sixth minute, Real Mallorca made a quick counterattack. Former Barcelona youth player Dos Santos penetrated the gap left by Carvajal before inserting an assist and passed it to the door. Enzue Ramo header hit and broke Real Madrid's goal.
But Real Madrid did not make Mallorca proud for too long. In the fifteenth minute, Modric sent a straight pass, Robben calmly scored the ball, and Yang Yang easily pushed the goal from the front of the small penalty area to equalize the score for Real Madrid.
But in the twenty-first minute, Mallorca used a corner kick opportunity, Dos Santos made a corner kick, creating a chaos in Real Madrid's penalty area, Alfaro header hit the goal, once again exceeded the score.
Two behind, two goals conceded, both hit Real Madrid's key.
One is that the full-backs are inserted into the gap after the attack, especially the Carvajal side, which is more exposed. The other is Real Madrid ’s old problem, the positioning of the ball.
The former is a new problem, while the latter is a problem that has plagued Real Madrid for four years.
The score of one to two was kept until the second half, but after the easy side, Real Madrid quickly used a corner kick. Yang Yang nodded and scored the goal to equalize the score for Real Madrid, two to two.
Two minutes later, Marcelo stepped forward and assisted to the left of the penalty area to pass to the penalty area. After being released by the defensive player, Modric caught up with a direct volley and broke the goal of Real Mallorca again, three to two .
In the fifty-seventh minute, Robben crossed from the right, and Yang Yang, who was undefended, hit the penalty area and hit the score again, expanding the score again, four to two!
Yang Yang staged a hat trick!
Then in the 92nd minute, Yang Yang suddenly pulled to the left side of the penalty area. After receiving Azar's pass, he selflessly crossed to the back point. Robben followed to easily push the shot and expand the score to five to two!
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Real Mallorca 5-2 with Yang Yang's hat trick and one assist.
...
Real Madrid won a big victory, Yang Yang hat tricks, both leading the standings and scorer list.
However, after the match, Real Madrid's two goals conceded were criticized, especially the second goal.
Corner defense has always been a major weakness for Real Madrid. It can even be said that when Benitez coached Liverpool, corner defense has always existed. In the past, the British media also attacked Benitez for this. Mixed defensive tactics are problematic, but then disappeared with Liverpool's four crowns.
But in Real Madrid these years, corner defense has never been stable, this is already a difficult old problem.
Especially this season, goalkeeper Casillas has not come back, even if come back, the state does not know how, and the left-back Marcelo is unstable after the comeback, the right-back Carvajal defense is weak, these are people Very worried about Real Madrid's defense.
If even Real Mallorca can break Real Madrid's goal twice, then in the Champions League, especially in the quarter-finals, or even the semi-finals, can Real Madrid meet stronger opponents and can it hold it?
Whether it is Ancelotti or Zidane, I have a lot of thoughts about it. Even to a certain extent, Real Madrid's performance this season has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, because after the summer reorganization, the team's performance has Not lost to the past at all.
Ancelotti also admits that the team's positional goal conceded is indeed the hardest hit area, but he said that this is caused by many reasons, the team will also work hard in this regard.
But the Italian also said that Real Madrid's goal this season will still be in the league, the King's Cup and the Champions League.
"Of course, this will certainly not be easy, especially in the Champions League, we will encounter greater challenges, but for a young team like us, it will be a rare experience."
