Chapter 1161 Coach Yang Yang
On the evening of April 5th, Anoeta Stadium.
In the 32nd round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Real Sociedad away from home.
Due to the tough battle against Dortmund in midweek, Real Madrid took a rest in this game, but Yang Yang still got the starting spot, but he was closely monitored by Real Sociedad, and his performance was not ideal.
The biggest highlight of the first half was in the 45th minute. Di Maria passed the ball into the penalty area from the left. Yang Yang sideways volleyed, but was barely saved by goalkeeper Bravo. Illarramendi volleyed from the front of the penalty area. The shot hit and opened the scoring for Real Madrid.
Then in the second half, Real Madrid changed sides and fought again. Real Madrid continued to maintain a strong offensive against Real Sociedad. Xavi Alonso passed the penalty area in the 66th minute, but was caught by goalkeeper Bravo. However, Real Sociedad's goalkeeper When Bigfoot kicked off, he was interfered by Yang Yang and made a mistake. Yang Yang grabbed the ball and then pushed the ball into the empty goal, making it 2-0.
In the 85th minute, Di Maria passed the ball into the penalty area and Yang Yang shot in front of the goal, giving Real Madrid another victory, 3-0.
Just three minutes later, there was another direct pass from Di Maria. Yang Yang dribbled the ball to the penalty spot and scored with a single shot. He performed a hat trick and helped Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad 4-0.
...
Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 4-0 away from home, and Barcelona also defeated Real Betis 3-1 at home with Messi's brace, but Cristiano Ronaldo continued to perform sluggishly.
This has also become the most puzzling mystery to the outside world, that is why Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are always incompatible? Why is it that one always performs well while the other languishes?
Could it be said that these two superstars really cannot coexist?
However, although the Portuguese's performance on the court has been sluggish recently, he has had a bumper harvest in the business field.
According to the survey results of the authoritative organization [Pure Football], in the past 2013, because Cristiano Ronaldo joined Barcelona, his jersey sales reached an astonishing one million pieces. One person has It accounts for most of Barcelona's sales, more than twice as many as Messi's, and Barcelona's entire team's jersey sales are only 1.5 million pieces.
The Portuguese's handsome appearance is an invincible weapon in the business market, especially his flamboyant and high-profile character and the ubiquitous gossip, which are his weapons in the shopping mall.
Barcelona's 1.5 million jersey sales rank second in the world, which is slightly more than Manchester United's 1.4 million in third place, but it is better than Real Madrid in first place. Much inferior, because the Galaxy Battleship's jersey sales reached 2.6 million units in 2013, of which Yang Yang's jersey sales exceeded 2 million units.
This is an extremely astonishing number. [Pure Football] commented that the sales of jerseys driven by Yang Yang are unprecedented, and according to data provided by Adidas, sales areas are all over the world, with Europe, Asia and North America being the three regions with the largest sales. , which also proves Yang Yang’s influence around the world.
"If you put aside the team, if the sales of two million pieces are compared with the total sales of many wealthy teams, Yang Yang is also ranked first in the world. This shows that his commercial value has reached an astonishing level. high."
[Pure Football] also specially interviewed Jose Sanchez, the director of Real Madrid’s commercial department, who highly affirmed Yang Yang’s commercial value. “We cannot provide many specific figures to the outside world. The only thing I can say is that even if Yes, his commercial value is still far underestimated, and there is still huge potential that has not been tapped."
Jose Sanchez also revealed that Adidas is considering signing an unprecedented sky-high contract with Yang Yang. This contract will lock in Yang Yang’s future career, even after retirement. This will be the largest personal sponsorship contract in history. At the same time, it will also allow more people to see the potential and value of Yang Yang.

On the evening of April 8, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was played.
Although they had defeated their opponents 4-0 in the first round, Real Madrid still did not dare to be careless in the second round.
Only Yang Yang in the team persisted in the game for a long time and suffered a slight injury to his left foot. Therefore, Ancelotti put him on the bench for this game. Suarez replaced Yang Yang in the starting lineup. The team adopted a four-three-three formation.
This game was played in heavy rain, and both sides made many mistakes.
In the 16th minute, Marcelo passed the ball from the left and hit Piszczek's injury. The referee awarded a penalty kick. Di Maria personally took the penalty kick and hit the goal, opening the scoring for Real Madrid.
It can be said that this penalty has basically sentenced Dortmund to death.
But the Hornets were still very tenacious. In the 24th minute, Friedrich made a 60-meter long pass from the backcourt and hit the back of Real Madrid's defense. The little Rocket Royce quickly penetrated behind him at an extremely fast speed. After receiving the ball, he dodged the attacking Casillas, pushed the ball into the empty goal, and equalized the score for Dortmund.
Yang Yang was sitting on the bench, but he was very excited. Especially after seeing Royce scoring, he jumped up from his seat, came to the sidelines, applauded vigorously, and encouraged his teammates on the court. , and at the same time he was constantly making gestures with his hands, obviously reminding his teammates how to adjust their playing style.
Among them, the obvious point is that Real Madrid made very few direct passes in this game, and they all played on the wings.
But in fact, Dortmund's two central defenders turned slowly, and Suarez had an advantage.
"We should focus more on this point." Yang Yang complained to Zidane, obviously a little bit annoyed.
Zidane and Ancelotti looked at each other and laughed in unison.
They don't think Yang Yang is acting as a substitute at all. From this point, Yang Yang's football wisdom and understanding of opponents can be seen, because he is a player who has directly competed with Dortmund many times, and he only scored three times a week ago. Dortmund's goal, who else knows the Hornet's defense better than him?
Sure enough, after being reminded by Yang Yang, the two wings of Real Madrid began to change their style of play. After reaching the frontcourt, more returned to the center, with David Silva and Modric responsible for the direct pass, Hazard and Di Mali Ya's inside cuts also adopt more direct passes behind him, allowing Suarez to rush.
In the 30th minute, less than six minutes before Dortmund equalized the score, Hazard cut in from the right and sent a direct pass. Suarez quickly went straight behind him to form a single goal, stopped the ball and picked goalkeeper Weidenfeller. Real Madrid made another victory.
"Beautiful!" Yang Yang applauded vigorously from the sidelines.
This is the targeted style of play that Real Madrid should play. If Dortmund dare to press out and press down, Real Madrid will play behind them.
Who is afraid of whom?
You know, Real Madrid had a four-goal advantage in the first round, and now they are playing an away game, which is even more unfavorable to Dortmund.
However, seven minutes after Real Madrid scored, Ramos made a backcourt error. Illia Ramendi failed to grab the ball. Royce broke in after stealing the ball and gave it to Lewandowski. The latter hit the post and Royce followed up with a supplementary shot.
Two to two!
Yang Yang was speechless on the sidelines, pointing at Ramos from a distance, without saying a word, but his expression betrayed him.
Ramos has always been like this, when the good times are good, the gods are gods, and the bad times are crazy.
Fortunately, during the halftime break, Ancelotti began to make adjustments and replaced Mascherano. The team began to adopt a more secure tactical play.
In the end, Real Madrid tied Dortmund 2-2 in the away game and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 6-2.
In another game of the semi-finals, Bayern Munich defeated Manchester United 3-1 at home, and once again encountered Real Madrid in the semi-finals. This is also the second consecutive season between the two giants.
Real Madrid vowed to avenge their shame!
Moyes' team suffered the worst defeat in recent years, all fronts without exception, which is also worrying, because after Ferguson retired, Manchester United's performance in the two seasons was very different.
...
After the knockout round of the Champions League quarter-finals, the most attention from the outside world was not the game itself, because the two-to-two match itself did not have too many bright spots, but on the sidelines, the scene where Yang Yang commanded the team, and he and Ancelotti and Qi Dane's communication made the media and fans feel fresh.
Ancelotti said with a smile at the press conference after the game that the team's second goal in the first half came from Yang Yang's command, "I think he has a sharper observation of the situation than me. The ability to capture the moment is stronger.”
Real Madrid's head coach also jokingly said that he would consider letting Yang Yang join the coaching staff if he was restricted by the rules.
"In fact, before every game, he will prepare and analyze meticulously. He knows every opponent very well and knows the characteristics of every player, which makes him play better on the court. So much better."
Ancelotti believes that Yang has the potential to become an excellent head coach.
"From him, I see the possibility of his future success in coaching. No, it should be said, I think he will succeed, because many times, some of his ideas, even Zidane and I feel Praise."
But for the praise from the head coach, Yang Yang smiled and shook his head, expressing that he was really nervous at the time.
"I have a lot of respect for the manager and the coaching staff. I never feel like I'm in charge of the team, because on the pitch, I do it a lot, but tonight I sat on the sidelines."
For Ancelotti, Yang Yang gave a very high evaluation, thinking that he is a veritable tactical master.
"If I were to choose the best head coach in world football today, I would say it without hesitation. Ancelotti must be one of them. Who else? Haha, Benitez, Van Gaal, Guardio La, Ferguson..."
"Compared with these famous coaches, I still have a lot to learn, but now, for me, the most important thing at this stage is to play well, not to consider other things."
"I hope to use more goals and better performance to help the team achieve more victories."
