Chapter 1075 Injured Again!

On the evening of January 23rd, Mestagna Stadium.

In the second round of the Copa del Rey knockout round, Real Madrid challenged Valencia away.

This is the third duel between Real Madrid and the Bats in a week.

In the first two games, Real Madrid defeated their opponents 2-0 at home and won the first round. Then in the twentieth round of La Liga in the away game against Valencia, Real Madrid relied on Yang Yang's hat-trick and an assist , defeated Valencia 5-0 away, and Di Maria scored twice.

Losing two games in a row, swallowing seven goals and zero goals, this is simply unacceptable for the Bat Corps. Therefore, in the last and most important matchup, Valencia coach Barr Wade threatened to reverse Real Madrid at home, and this time he also played a four-two-three-one double midfielder formation.

Real Madrid won two games in a row, and at the same time tied the best record in the history of the five major leagues set by Inter Milan during Mancini's coaching period. Ambitious and determined to win.

After the opening, Real Madrid played very aggressively, but Valencia, who had lost two games in a row, was obviously angry and moved more and more in the game, which put huge pressure on Real Madrid.

In the thirteenth minute, there was a scuffle in the penalty area of ​​Real Madrid. Arbeloa, who started the field, kicked a volley to make a clearance. left hand.

After the Real Madrid goalkeeper was kicked, he fell directly to the ground and seriously injured his left hand.

Ancelotti had to make substitutions, replacing Casillas with substitute goalkeeper Adan, and the captain's armband was worn on Ramos' arm, but this also cast a shadow over Real Madrid.

Arbeloa's accidental injury to his teammates was an accident, but luck was really bad.

It seemed that the luck was taken away by Arbeloa's kick. Although Real Madrid tried hard to create opportunities, they still missed the goal.

After changing sides in the second half, under Valencia's repeated violations, Di Maria was finally furious. He broke through Pereira on the left to press, and when he was violated by the opponent's small moves, he kicked the opponent in retaliation. Foot, the result has not been kicked, but was shown a red card by the referee Massa and sent off directly.

In one game, losing two generals in a row, Real Madrid felt very disappointed.

Not only the players on the court, but even the fans in front of the TV can't help asking, is Real Madrid's winning streak going to stop here?

...

With one player missing, Real Madrid were forced to go on the defensive.

Valencia began to attack aggressively, hoping to take the opportunity to knock on Real Madrid's goal.

But in this game, the central defender combination composed of Harvey Martinez and Ramos once again performed well, together with Azpilicueta on the left and Arbeloa on the right, as well as the defensive midfielder. Mascherano, to ensure the stability of the defense.

Since Benitez coached, Real Madrid's defense has been polished and adjusted for four years, and it has become very mature and stable. Except for the weakness of set-pieces, any team that wants to break through Real Madrid's goals will have to Not an easy task, especially in a cup game.

Ancelotti withdrew Xavi Alonso and Modric to the midfielder position, Hazard switched to the midfielder, and Yang Yang was at the front alone, which formed a counterattack formation of Real Madrid, patiently Looking for opportunities.

But Valencia not only has the advantage in numbers, but also wants to win Real Madrid in the home game.

Even if you can't win, you must want to eat your opponent and avoid three consecutive losses.

The two sides were attacking and defending. Valverde's three substitutions were strengthening the offense, especially in the last 80 minutes, replacing Jonas with former Real Madrid teenager Canales, which further strengthened the midfield offensive.

But also because of this, in the 88th minute, Real Madrid intercepted the ball in the backcourt. Taking a chance, Modric sent a diagonal pass and sent the ball precisely behind Valencia.

Like a flash of lightning, Yang Yang tore through Valencia's defense in an instant, but before he could catch the ball, Guaita, who was attacked first, kicked out of bounds and turned into a foul.

...

Xavi Alonso ran to the sidelines and was about to send a quick throw-in, but was stopped by referee Felipe Massa.

The Spanish midfielder put it down very depressed, and then saw Yang Yang waving at him, signaling him not to make a free throw.

Yang Yang pointed to Azpilicueta, signaling for Harvey Alonso to come back.

Since Marcelo was injured, Azpilicueta has been the main left back of the team. His performance is very stable and he has a firm foothold. The offense is really not very good, but the defense is very stable, which is very reassuring.

After seeing Yang Yang's gesture, Azpilicueta knew that the frontcourt had to cooperate, and Real Madrid couldn't help thinking about the time. He immediately ran to the front, stood outside the boundary, and wiped the ball in his hand with his jersey.

"Let's cooperate." Yang Yang suggested.

"How?" asked Harvey Alonso, panting.

"Old rules, I pull it out first, then plug it in."

Harvey Alonso touched his nose. It's not like they haven't played this kind of cooperation before. He nodded and said, "Okay, how do you pass? An overhead ball, a mid-low ball, or a ground ball?"

"You can figure it out, I can catch any ball you pass it to me." Yang Yang said confidently.

Harvey Alonso gave him a light punch, nodded without further words, and watched Yang Yang run away.

"Hey, hurry up and make a good match." Harvey Alonso clapped vigorously and shouted.

Not only the Real Madrid players heard his shout, but the Valencia players also heard it, and they all paid attention.

The position of this penalty is on the left side of the penalty area. With Azpilicueta's ability, it can be thrown directly into the penalty area, and Real Madrid did let Hazard run to this side to meet it. Cooperate.

But Azpilicueta held the ball behind his head with both hands, ran back two steps, and suddenly threw the ball to Harvey Martinez who came up behind him, and the latter quickly passed it to Harvey Martinez. lonso.

Xabi Alonso was in the middle outside the penalty area, a little far from the goal, but the advantage was that there was no defense.

As soon as Xavi Alonso stopped the ball, he immediately took a step forward, as if he was going to hit the goal directly, scaring the Valencia players to come up to block it. At this time, Yang Yang in the front penalty area Pull back suddenly and raise your hand for the ball.

The two central defenders, Ricardo Costa and Rami, are in front of each other, Rami is responsible for keeping up, and Costa is responsible for delaying.

After Harvey Alonso made a gesture to shoot directly from a long distance, he seemed to have suddenly changed his mind. He pulled the ball to the middle, saw the timing, and directly passed the ball in the direction of Yang Yang. .

At the top of the restricted area, after Yang Yang brought out Lamy, he seemed to be going to meet Harvey Alonso, but he suddenly turned around and sprinted forward, back into the restricted area, at a very fast speed.

Harvey Alonso has partnered with Yang Yang for many years, and the two have already formed a tacit understanding. This low kick was sent over, which happened to be on the line of Yang Yang's reverse penetration into the penalty area, but he could only use his chest to stop the ball.

Ricardo Costa, who was dragging behind, also rushed forward immediately to intercept, but Yang Yang took a step ahead, stopped the ball with his chest and moved forward, avoiding Ricardo Costa, allowing the Valencia center back to pounce. empty.

Goalkeeper Guaita didn't dare to attack because Yang Yang stopped the ball with his chest near the top of the penalty area. He knew Yang Yang's speed and ability to stop the ball very well. Once he attacked, it would be very difficult to catch up.

But if he didn’t strike, it took some time for Yang Yang’s chest to stop the ball, but Lamy had no time to return to the defense. After Yang Yang caught up with the ball on the right side of the penalty spot, he easily formed a single shot, followed by a fake move as if he was going to hit a close corner. Guaita was tricked into standing to the right, but it turned out to be a shot from the inside of his right foot and sent the ball to his left foot.

Lamy chased all the way back, even slid the shovel, trying to intercept Yang Yang's shot, but in the end he was a bit too slow.

The ball crashed into the lower left corner of Valencia's goal, one to zero!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"

"In the 89th minute, Real Madrid finally broke through Valencia's goal. With one player less than their opponent, they managed to take a one-goal lead, and the hero of the attack was Yang Yang!"

When the whistle sounded for the goal to be effective, Yang Yang rushed out of the field quickly, rushed directly to Xavi Alonso, jumped on the Spanish midfielder, and celebrated the goal together.

Real Madrid players also surrounded them from all directions, surrounding them in groups.

This was a team throw-in, but in fact, only Harvey Alonso and Yang Yang played a key role.

Harvey Alonso passed the ball beautifully, and Yang Yang's stop and final kick were wonderful and calm enough.

Being able to defeat Valencia with one less player than the opponent, relying on tenacious defense and Yang Yang's lightning strike, this is undoubtedly the best result for Real Madrid.

...

Although Valencia fought desperately in the last few minutes, they failed to break through Real Madrid's goal in the end.

Three consecutive duels suffered a losing streak, and Valencia even scored eight goals and zero goals. This can be regarded as a great shame for the always proud Bat Corps.

And Yang Yang scored in three consecutive games, helping Real Madrid win the 33rd game in a row.

This winning streak is also creating a new Guinness World Record.

But unfortunately, in the locker room after the game, Real Madrid received a notice from the team doctor that Casillas had a fractured left hand and would be out for at least one and a half months.

This unfortunate news has once again turned the clouds in the Real Madrid dressing room, because Marcelo has just returned to training, Pepe has not yet returned, and Casillas has yet to return to injury.

Real Madrid's main line-up hasn't played a full game this season, especially since October, if it wasn't for Azpilicueta and Javi Martinez who cameo at left-back and centre-back. , then Real Madrid may be more ominous.

But even so, Casillas is injured and truce, what will Real Madrid do next?

Who will guard the goal for the team?
