After the draw with Osasuna, Real Madrid did not have time to adjust slowly.

…………

On the evening of December 22, at the Mestagna Stadium in Valencia.

In the seventeenth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged the Bat Legion away.

This is destined to be a difficult game, and it is very difficult for Real Madrid to play Valencia every time.

In the 28th minute of the game, Marcelo made a diagonal pass from the left. After Di Maria plugged in at high speed, he stopped the ball and passed the left back Bernat, and successfully pushed the far corner, opening the scoring for Real Madrid.

But only six minutes later, Bernat used his speed to forcibly get rid of Di Maria, who was returning to the defense, and made a pass. Piatti was on the edge of the small penalty area and beat Ramos to score with a header.

Six minutes later, Modric sent a diagonal pass. Jesse, who had won the first game in this game, hit a low shot from a small angle near the penalty area, and Real Madrid once again exceeded the score.

After changing sides in the second half, Parejo took a corner kick in the 62nd minute. Ramos failed to grab the position. Valencia defender Victor Ruiz scored with a header to equalize the score again. .

Leading twice and being equalized twice, this dealt a big blow to Real Madrid.

Ancelotti finally couldn't sit still and made a substitution in the 65th minute.

Yang Yang, who was absent for a month, finally appeared again.

...

"Real Madrid made a substitution."

"We saw that No. 11 Yang Yang appeared on the sidelines, and the replacement was No. 20 player, young player Jesse."

"Jesse is considered by many to be Yang Yang's apprentice. He has won a lot of game opportunities this season, and even scored a goal for Real Madrid tonight. His performance is impressive."

"But now, Real Madrid wants to gnaw away the hard bone of Valencia, and it is obviously not enough to rely on the young Jesse alone. Ancelotti chose to let Yang Yang play at this time, and he must have high hopes for him. I hope he can play for him. The team opened things up."

"In fact, we all know that Yang Yang's injury has long since healed, but Ancelotti did not arrange for him to play in the last group match of the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, and he also rested in the last round against Osasuna. "

"But I definitely can't sit still now. After all, after we tied Osasuna in the last round, the point gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona has narrowed to four points. If this game is tied again, or even lost, it will further narrow the points. Poor, this is what Ancelotti doesn't want to see, he definitely hopes that the team will go through this winter break with a four-point advantage."

...

"Look at this time, Yang Yang is very active after playing, and Real Madrid's quick counterattack."

"Yang Yang picked a pass from the right and made a gap. Di Maria had a chance."

"I didn't stop the ball well for the first time, which resulted in a smaller shot angle."

"Yang Yang's pass is very skillful. It can be seen that his pass has a very wide vision. On the contrary, Di Maria, who responded, didn't seem to react immediately, which led to a hasty stop and failed to handle it well. "

"A very unfortunate opportunity."

...

"Real Madrid is still holding the ball, and Yang Yang retreats to participate in the midfield cooperation."

"Successive quick one-kick passes, wonderful cooperation between Yang Yang, David Silva, and Modric, and another pass."

"It's Di Maria again!"

"This time the shot was a bit off."

"Valencia is very afraid of Yang Yang. After he came on the field, the defensive focus has always been on Yang Yang, so Yang Yang is running more to create opportunities for his teammates, but Di Maria is still lacking in seizing opportunities. .”

"Perhaps Yang Yang will miss Suarez and Robben at this time."

...

"After Yang Yang played, Real Madrid's frontcourt offense began to improve."

"This is the influence of a top superstar. As long as he is on the court, opponents have to focus on him defensively, which will definitely weaken the defense in other areas, and then be able to revitalize the entire offense."

"But now it seems that Real Madrid still can't keep up with Yang Yang in other points."

"Yang Yang is more likely to find Di Maria on the right to cooperate."

"Look at this time, it's still Yang Yang who retreats to respond, or Di Maria."

"Di Maria rushed forward with the ball, but Bernat returned to the defense very quickly and in time, Di Maria had no chance."

"Pass back, Carvajal comes up and gets the ball."

"Stop, look up, Carvajal passed directly into the penalty area..."

"Look at the restricted area, Yang Yang..."

"Dive to the top!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"Beautiful diving to the top and a header!"

"In the 82nd minute, a diving goal from Yang Yang scored the goal, which once again surpassed the score for Real Madrid!"

"My God, this is the third time Real Madrid are leading this game."

"Yang Yang's header this time is very beautiful!"

"We can see that he was also very clever in his back-up after the retreat, which confused the two central defenders of Valencia. After Di Maria returned to Carvajal, Yang Yang made a move to retreat again. The illusion of responding, but suddenly inserted at high speed, caught the opponent by surprise."

"Carvajal also understood it very quickly. There seems to be some kind of hint between him and Yang Yang, and he teleported directly to the penalty area in a diagonal direction. After Yang Yang rushed up, he directly made a beautiful diving jump to the top."

"It's so exciting! It's so crucial!"

...

After Yang Yang scored a goal, he did not celebrate, but quickly signaled his teammates to retreat across the board.

Ancelotti also made substitutions at the first time. Illararamendi, who performed well in the Copa del Rey, replaced Di Maria and adopted a double midfielder style of play, obviously to further strengthen the team's midfield defense.

This is the Mestagna Stadium in Valencia!

Subsequently, Real Madrid successfully kept the score of 3 to 2 until the end of the game.

In the end, Real Madrid scored a precious three-pointer at the Mestagna Stadium by virtue of Yang Yang's lore goal coming off the bench.

And Yang Yang's dive to the top is also his 30th La Liga goal this season.

...

In another stadium, Barcelona away to Getafe.

In just five minutes of the first half, Barcelona conceded two goals in a row, leading Getafe 0-2.

But it wasn't long before Cristiano Ronaldo stepped forward, scoring a hat-trick in just nine minutes as Barca reversed course in the first half, before Cesc Fabregas scored twice in four minutes of the second.

In the end, Barcelona achieved a shocking reversal with a 5-2 away game.

As a result, the two sides still maintain a four-point gap.

But what really attracted the attention of the outside world was the downturn of Barcelona's number one star Messi.

Unlike Yang Yang, who came off the bench after recovering from injury, scored a lore goal in a key battle and helped the team beat Valencia 3-2 in an away game, Messi has not been able to recover after returning from injury.

Even in this 5-2 reversal of Getafe, Messi still performed sluggishly. On the contrary, Cristiano Ronaldo shined a lot and staged a hat-trick in nine minutes to help Barcelona reverse Getafe.

It can be said that Messi's downturn has become a question that countless media and fans are very curious about, because they cannot understand that Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are the strongest trident in history, plus Barcelona Why is a powerful midfielder only a flash in the pan at the beginning of the season, and then Messi fell into a long-term downturn?

You know, even Cesc Fabregas can score twice, which proves that Barcelona can't create opportunities.

The godfather Cruyff believed in his column that this is because Messi was lost in the transformation of Barcelona. He was forced to adjust his responsibilities and scope of activities from the undoubted frontcourt core of the original team, and Martino advocated What's more, there are more long passes from the backcourt and crosses from the side, which is undoubtedly more suitable for Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Messi's loss is partly due to his unsatisfactory state, but at the same time, it is also related to the lack of support given to him by the team's tactics. If Barcelona wants to catch up with Real Madrid this season, they want to make this set. If the extravagant trident plays its due level, Messi must be reactivated."

As for how to activate, Cruyff believes that Martino should find an effective solution during the truce during the winter break.

The Catalan media also believe that Messi's performance this season is indeed sluggish, and he has fallen into the longest trough in his career. This is probably related to the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Similar to this kind of seemingly dreamy, but actually incompatible offensive combination is outstanding in world football. A little further away is AC Milan's Shevchenko and Inzaghi, and later the England midfielder double virtue, That's all.

But both the media and the fans believe that the three superstars in the frontcourt have cost the club huge sums of money, and they must adjust their status no matter what, play their due level, and play their due value.
