Chapter 999 No, It Belongs to Messi!
On the evening of March 27th, at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.
Real Madrid hosts APOEL in the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
Since he played three La Liga games in a row in the past week, Ancelotti chose to rotate, and this game played against Athletic Greece with a full attacking lineup.
The goalkeeper is Iker Casillas, the defense is Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos and Maicon, the midfielder is Xavi Alonso playing a single midfielder, the front is a combination of David Silva and Modric, and the front trident is Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Di Maria.
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid completely controlled the situation. Atlético came to the Bernabéu Stadium, obviously very aware of the embarrassing position they were in, and adopted a shrinking defense at the beginning of the game, putting up an iron bucket formation, allowing Real Madrid to control the ball and the situation.
This situation has long been expected by Real Madrid. If APOEL is willing to press out to play, then Real Madrid will not have such a headache. Now they directly adopt a shrinking defense, especially APOEL's defense this season has shown experience and morale. It is not an easy task to break through.
But as long as a crack is created, the iron wall will be broken by itself.
In the first ten minutes, Real Madrid shot one after another, threatening the opponent's goal many times, but they failed to score.
But the advantage of a strong team is that there are many choices. After entering fifteen minutes, Real Madrid decisively chose to organize patiently.
The combination of David Silva, Xavi Alonso and Modric made Real Madrid's midfield full of control, while the attack on the wings made Real Madrid more breakthrough, especially after entering 25 minutes.
Seeing that the team stabilized the situation, Marcelo and Maicon stepped up their efforts to participate in the frontcourt attack respectively.
In the twenty-sixth minute, Maicon suddenly inserted in the back row along the right. Xavi Alonso saw the Brazilian right back and quickly moved a diagonal pass to the right line.
Di Maria in the front of the penalty area and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the middle failed to catch up with the ball, but at the back point, Yang Yang jumped in at a high speed and jumped high with the momentum of the run-up. He shook his head directly in front of the goal and directly sent the pass from Maicon into the goal of APOEL.
When Yang Yang landed, the entire Bernabéu stadium erupted in exclamation, followed by the referee blowing the whistle to confirm the goal.
Everyone saw that Yang Yang quickly rushed out of the restricted area of APOEL and flew all the way to the south stand.
One to zero!
...
After scoring the lead, Real Madrid continued to put pressure on APOEL.
With the cooperation of the three controlling midfielders, Real Madrid's ball possession rate exceeded 70%, which can almost be said to be a crushing advantage. Almost all of the ball in the game was under Real Madrid's control.
Although Real Madrid players consciously want to help Yang Yang score goals, they will also actively try to kick the goal.
In the 34th minute, Ibrahimovic pushed the far corner from the left side of the penalty area, but failed to hit.
One minute later, Di Maria passed the ball, and Modric stepped in and kicked on the right side of the penalty area. He missed the near corner and failed to hit.
The continuous offensive disrupted APOEL's defensive system, which also gave Real Madrid players the opportunity to cooperate with each other based on their individual abilities.
In the 36th minute, Marcelo plugged in from the back row, and after receiving a pass from his teammate, he quickly passed it back to David Silva.
The Spanish midfielder did not stop the ball and crossed it directly. After Yang Yang caught up with the ball on the left side, he passed it to Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the front of the penalty area.
Yang Yang caught up with the ball in the penalty area, forced his way into the left side of the small penalty area, and shot with his left foot. The ball went over the goalkeeper's head and landed in the far corner, two to zero!
Scored twice!
Yang Yang's goal was once again cheered by more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans in the audience. The continuous passing and cooperation made this goal extremely exciting and won enthusiastic applause from countless fans.
Real Madrid players also rushed to the sidelines to celebrate his goal, and at the same time they all encouraged him, hoping that Yang Yang will continue to work hard.
"It's only three goals away from Messi's five sons, come on!" Ramos leaned closer to Yang Yang's ear and shouted.
...
Less than five minutes had passed since the goal just now, and Real Madrid once again launched a wave of offensive.
This time, Yang Yang was still active on the left, but suddenly appeared in the middle. After receiving a pass from David Silva, he kicked the goal in the top area of the front of the penalty area, but the ball hit the right post and missed.
Missing the hat-trick, Yang Yang felt very helpless.
When entering the intermission, the Real Madrid players kept discussing the center post in the locker room, feeling sorry for Yang Yang, because if this goal is scored, then two more goals in the second half, tying Messi's five sons, will have a good chance of scoring.
But now I haven't scored, and it is still quite difficult to score three more goals in the second half.
However, it is not completely without opportunities, because with the consumption of physical fitness, APOEL's defense will become more and more vulnerable. This is the opportunity for Real Madrid, because the ball is always in the hands of Real Madrid.
Sure enough, after changing sides to fight again in the second half, APOEL got a chance to breathe. The start of the second half was still very stable, and Real Madrid didn't have too many opportunities.
Ancelotti made the first substitution in the 55th minute, replacing Maicon with Robben, and then pulled Harvey Alonso to the back line, directly pushing Marcelo and Robben to the front line, Di Maria pulled to the middle of the midfield, and Yang Yang was pushed to the front line.
In this way, Real Madrid is a bit like playing a tactic of three defenders and two forwards.
Ten minutes later, Ancelotti replaced Javi Alonso with Javi Martinez, and the defense formed a three-back combination of Pepe, Javi Martinez and Ramos.
Harvey Martinez only played for two minutes. When he got the ball in the backcourt, he suddenly made a long pass and sent it to the front to find Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swedish center stopped the ball and made a direct pass.
hat trick!
Yang Yang didn't celebrate at all this time, he rushed directly into the goal of APOEL, scooped up the ball and ran out.
...
The game is completely open.
APOEL fell behind by three goals, which was already a desperate conceded goal for them, so they all went all out and played bravely like never before, obviously also wanting to win a goal.
In the 75th minute, Real Madrid launched an offensive from the left. Marcelo was fouled on the outside of the left line of the penalty area. Real Madrid won a free kick in the front court, but the position was too far to the left.
According to common sense, this should be a free kick tactical cooperation, because direct free throws are very difficult.
But Yang Yang still took the initiative to inform his teammates and personally put the ball on the penalty spot.
Undoubtedly, this required a violent rotation to get the ball into APOEL's goal, because the shooting angle was very small, and APOEL's goalkeeper Pardo stood directly outside the left column, almost blocking all shooting angles of Yang Yang. The only thing left for Yang Yang was only one direction.
Going to the periphery, but the arc must be very large, which is difficult to handle, and it can even be said to be unrealistic.
The only option is to go overhead, which requires a significant drop after crossing the goalkeeper's head, and the angle between the beam and the post is very small for Yang Yang to score, and the possibility of missing or hitting the post is very high.
The distance is far, the shooting angle is small, it is difficult to score goals, and the speed of the ball must be fast, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of free throws for Yang Yang, but he still declined the support of his teammates and stood on the penalty spot.
He took a deep breath, but tried to keep calm in his heart, constantly observing the changes in the position of the human wall and the goalkeeper.
After the referee blew his whistle, Yang Yang quickly ran forward, kicked out his right foot like lightning, directly kicked the football in front of him, and quickly climbed over the human wall.
The ball was extremely fast and fell slightly after crossing the wall, but goalkeeper Pardo reacted and jumped high, raising his hands to stop it, but the ball was still too high for him to reach.
Out of bounds!
Pardo's first reaction was to make an instinctive judgment. According to his goalkeeping experience, the ball at this height was basically out of bounds.
But as soon as the APOEL goalkeeper landed, before he could react, he heard thunderous cheers from the scene, and then saw Yang Yang quickly turn around and rush out of the field, yelling excitedly all the way, and even directly crossed the billboard on the sidelines and rushed to the Real Madrid fans in the stands at the bottom.
Scored a goal? !
Pardo turned around and saw that the ball actually appeared in the goal line.
How did you get in?
He didn't know it, but he really got in!
Not only the goalkeeper of APOEL, but also many fans and players at the scene probably didn't see it clearly, because the ball was very fast, but the ball really went in!
...
Yang Yang's goal once again ignited the fighting spirit of the Real Madrid players.
Four to zero!
There are still ten minutes left in the game, and there is still a chance!
In the 80th minute, after Modric intercepted the ball in the frontcourt, David Silva made a direct pass. Yang Yang received the ball under the double-teaming of two defensive players on the left side of the penalty area.
Five to zero!
Only two minutes later, Real Madrid, who were all on top, finally showed a hole in the defense. APOEL took the opportunity to counterattack. Ramos tackled the opponent's forward Adorno in the penalty area and gave the opponent a penalty. APOEL forward Solari made it easy for the visiting team.
But only two minutes later, Real Madrid intercepted the ball in the backcourt, and Di Maria made a long pass in the halftime and sent it to the frontcourt.
Yang Yang succeeded in anti-offside, quickly inserted in the back row, waded into the penalty area after receiving the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and hit the lower left corner with a volley, rewriting the score to 6-1!
Five goals!
The five sons are admitted!
The entire Bernabéu stadium is completely boiling!
All the Real Madrid fans frantically rushed out of their seats, shouting Yang Yang's name frantically, while the Real Madrid players in the stadium rushed to Yang Yang one after another, wanting to celebrate the goal with him.
But after scoring the goal, Yang Yang rushed into the goal of APOEL, picked up the ball, and ran back to the center line as fast as possible.
Five sons enrolling?
No, that's Messi's!
Yang Yang wants more!
