Chapter 1081: Blank
With the development of professional football in Europe, data has become an auxiliary means that everyone is accustomed to in the past few years.
Even in European leagues, there are many professional data companies providing clubs with various data, such as OPTA in the UK. At the beginning, this company only provided data for Sky TV’s live broadcast and analysis, but gradually, they developed More business came out, not only began to collect all kinds of fine data, but also gradually cooperated with the club.
In addition to OPTA, there are many other similar professional data companies with related businesses.
Up to now, before each game, if the major media do not give a detailed matchup situation and historical data, it is considered very unqualified, and the data that the club can obtain, whether it is detailed or rich, It is far beyond the imagination of everyone in the outside world.
Before each game, the coaching staff will provide the players with detailed information and data of the opponent's players, which is normal.
For example, Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdes, before the game, he got the shooting habits of all Real Madrid players, especially Yang Yang's shooting methods with high probability and under what circumstances. He got detailed information.
There are also free kicks. What position Yang Yang likes to take and how to take free kicks are all statistic and calculated.
Valdés is not a particularly hard-working football lunatic, but as a professional player, he has competed with Real Madrid for many years and played against Yang Yang for more than ten or twenty games. He is very familiar with Yang Yang No matter how familiar he is, he naturally knows Yang Yang's information like the palm of his hand, like a treasure.
When he saw Yang Yang put the ball on the penalty spot and slowly backed away, he immediately habitually entered his mind and searched for the information in his memory. He wanted to see what penalty points Yang Yang had ball habit.
But when he dug three feet into the ground to search, he was completely stunned.
He never thought that in his memory, Yang Yang's penalty kick record was blank.
This is impossible!
Valdez shook his head immediately, this is simply impossible, this is a very important piece of data, how could it be blank?
It is absolutely impossible for him to forget the penalty kick record of the enemy's top scorer, let alone Yang Yang.
He searched again a second time and a third time, but the results were still blank.
No! There is no record of this at all!
What the hell is going on?
How is this possible?
Valdés immediately turned his head to look at the coaching staff in front of the coaching bench of the home team. Assistant coach Lula, who is temporarily acting as head coach Vilanova, is also in front of the coaching bench at this moment. Like ants.
Obviously, the coaching staff also did not find the data of Yang Yang's penalty kicks, and they were anxious there.
Not only the coaching staff of Barcelona, even the TV station and the media also couldn't find the record of Yang Yang's penalty kick.
...
"What's going on? How could there be no records?"
Jose Ramon de la Morena is the sports program director and host of Ser Radio. He hosts a program with more than two million listeners and is the number one sports media in Spain.
And every derby of the century, he will broadcast live on his radio station.
Although he is a die-hard Atletico Madrid fan, he has to admit that Real Madrid and Barcelona are the most attractive teams in Spain for fans and audiences, so he will never resist the Derby of the Century.
And now, he is angry at his assistant because they can't find Yang Yang's penalty kick record.
"No, really not." The assistant replied with a sad face.
"Why not? Impossible not." Dela Morena shouted angrily.
"But we searched the database, and we really didn't find a record of Yang Yang taking a penalty kick."
De La Morena was stunned. If it wasn't in the database, it would prove that it really wasn't.
That is to say, in the past few years, at least in the years when the statistics began, he has not taken a penalty kick.
"But it's not right, I remember he earned many penalties." De La Morena asked again depressed.
"Yes, he's got a lot of penalties, but he's conceded a lot of penalties before, to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, to Arjen Robben, to Xavi Aaron. So, some to Modric, but at least in the Premier League and La Liga, he has never taken a penalty himself."
De La Morena was a little dumbfounded that there was such a monster.
Immediately afterwards, he thought of an even more frightening fact, that is, all of Yang Yang's goals were goals in sports games, direct free kicks or corner kicks, so he has no record of taking penalty kicks.
Hey, he scored so many goals, but he didn't even have a single penalty!
De La Morena couldn't accept this fact because he felt too scary.
You know, whether it is Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, they will score a lot of penalty kicks every season, and they are also the top penalty shooters of their respective teams, which earns them a lot of goals.
But Yang Yang scored more goals than them without taking a penalty kick. What kind of terrifying attack power is this?
After realizing this, de la Morena suddenly thought that Falcao's remarks about challenging Yang Yang at the beginning of the season were too ridiculous, and even Messi had a hard time keeping up with Yang Yang.
Even though the two are now neck and neck in the scorer list, in fact, Messi has scored a lot of penalties this season.
"God, look at Valdez's expression, and then look at the chaos in Barcelona's coaching bench. I'm afraid they are also surprised?" De La Morena laughed with a bit of schadenfreude.
He was embarrassing in the background, but Barcelona's goalkeeper and coaching staff were in full view.
...
"Fans and friends in front of the TV, I have just re-confirmed, and I can tell you with certainty that this is the first time Yang Yang has taken a penalty kick in person during his time at Liverpool in the Premier League and Real Madrid in La Liga."
"As far as we can search, Yang Yang's penalty record is as far away as Ajax. At that time, statistics were just starting. No one was going to count the statistics of the Eredivisie League. We can only learn from the media. According to the report, Yang Yang has taken a handful of penalty kicks, but the hit rate is 100%. "
"There is another Dutch media report that every time Yang Yang takes a penalty kick, he pushes straight to the center, but I don't know if he will take the same penalty this time?"
...
The TV station can use Google to search for old news, but on the field, Valdez has no extra time to understand these. When Yang Yang set the ball, the players of both sides stood up outside the penalty area, and the referee Marenko also began to signal preparations. .
Facing the goal, Yang Yang felt very familiar yet strange.
He is familiar because he knows exactly how to kick the ball in, but he is unfamiliar because he hasn't taken a penalty kick for a long, long time, and he even forgot when he took the last penalty kick.
Of course he didn't know, because of this, the outside media backstage has long been in trouble. I don't know how many media have called the data company and asked them why they don't have the data of Yang Yang's penalty kick.
But Yang Yang didn't know all of this.
Now, he only focused on looking at Valdez opposite him. He felt Valdez's uneasiness and even a little anxiety, so the Barcelona goalkeeper bent over, making a gesture that he would pounce at any time, but his eyes were a little erratic.
Valdes is guessing which side Yang Yang will punish.
Following the referee's whistle, Yang Yang started to run up, not fast, and deliberately paused in the middle, which made Valdez, who had all his attention on Yang Yang, stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Yang suddenly accelerated and rushed up, making a gesture to hit the door.
Valdes quickly made a judgment, and according to Yang Yang's action, he flew towards the lower right side of the goal.
But when he threw himself out, he suddenly realized that he had been fooled!
Yang Yang directly kicked the ball into the middle, and hit the goal from the position where Valdes was standing just now.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the thirteenth minute, Yang Yang used a penalty kick to open the scoring for Real Madrid."
"This is another penalty kick going straight to the middle. Yang Yang showed his super confidence. According to the information we got, Yang Yang took penalty kicks in the Eredivisie a few times before. He also pushed straight to the middle. Every time They all fooled the goalkeeper."
"This is a golden goal, and it is also Yang Yang's first penalty after landing in the four major leagues."
"Let's congratulate Yang Yang! Congratulations to Real Madrid!"
After Yang Yang scored a penalty kick, he rushed out of the field quickly, ran all the way to the corner kick area, slid and knelt down, and shouted at the fans in the stands, expressing his joy after scoring a goal.
He doesn't resist penalty kicks because he is confident that even if he hits the wing, he can do it so that the goalkeeper can't guess or miss it.
In fact, as long as the speed is fast enough and the angle and strength are right, a penalty kick is almost a must.
For this, Yang Yang has enough confidence, because he has been doing basic training all these years.
Real Madrid players rushed over one after another, hugged Yang Yang in groups, and celebrated the team's lead.
You know, leading Barcelona by one goal at the Nou Camp is definitely a big advantage, especially for Real Madrid.
After Yang Yang scored this goal, the total score now becomes 3 to 2, and Real Madrid is ahead. If Barcelona still wants to advance to the Copa del Rey final, they must take the initiative to attack, and Real Madrid can take advantage of it. Based on its own advantages, continue to adopt the strategy of defending and counterattacking.
Before doing this, Real Madrid even slaughtered Barcelona 5-0 at the Nou Camp. Tonight, everyone in Real Madrid is full of confidence and believes that the team will be able to retreat at the Nou Camp.
Because each of them felt that the emotions of the Barcelona players were gradually getting out of control.
The poor record against Real Madrid over the past few years made them start to become scared and start to become afraid, which brought them a huge psychological shadow.
Without this goal, they could still pretend to be strong, but Yang Yang's goal completely tore apart their fragile psychology and exposed it to everyone.
