Chapter 1218 Who Else but Him?
On the evening of October 5th, at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.
In the seventh round of La Liga, Real Madrid played against Athletic Bilbao at home.
This is the last game of this round. Before that, Atletico Madrid lost 1-3 away to Valencia, and Barcelona defeated Vallecano 2-0 away. This gave Real Madrid finally a chance to reverse.
The two defeats at the beginning of this season have kept Real Madrid's ranking low. So far, they are only ranked sixth, two points away from Atletico Madrid in fourth place, but if they can win this game against Bilba Athletic E, then Real Madrid will undoubtedly counterattack and reach the top four in the league.
Yang Yang's recent status has been extremely popular, and this game is still entrusted with important tasks and won the starting lineup.
Ancelotti adjusted the team's tactical play again and continued to face Athletic Bilbao with a 442 lineup.
Courtois in goal, Marcelo, Javi Martinez, Ramos and Carvajal in defense, Eden Hazard, Toni Kroos, Modric and James in midfield Rodriguez, the double forwards are Yang Yang and Suarez.
Whether it is the defense or the midfield, it is the area where Real Madrid rotates the most. The most important thing for Ancelotti is to take into account Real Madrid's intensive schedule. They play two games almost every week. They do not use rotation and are hard-working players. I can't stand it.
But there is one exception, and that is James Rodriguez.
The performance of Colombian players this season can be described as getting better and better.
Coming to Real Madrid with a sky-high price of 80 million euros, he was not recognized by the fans at first, because there is no midfielder in the Real Madrid team, and he played well in the World Cup by relying on the midfielder.
After coming to Real Madrid, Ancelotti adjusted his position and used him more as a right winger, that is, to compete with Di Maria, but there were also mistakes, the most serious being the second round against Real Madrid. In the social game, Real Madrid's defense was completely blown up, but the offense failed to open up the situation.
It was James Rodriguez who was criticized overwhelmingly after the game.
There is no doubt that he is a top midfielder in the world, but Real Madrid is not the Colombian national team, so it is impossible to give him a position as a midfielder. Had to transform into a winger.
What's more terrible is that James Rodriguez has a very serious problem.
As a South American player, James Rodriguez's foot skills are very good, but his football is still mainly practical and he runs very actively. The most important thing is that his thinking is very clear and he has a big picture. Good at controlling the rhythm of the game, making rational judgments, and good at passing the ball.
But his problem is that when the ball is not around him, he needs to improve his focus and game commitment.
To put it simply, it is that his defensive awareness is not strong enough, which is a common problem of most South American technical players.
As early as when he was playing in Monaco, Ranieri once pointed out his problem and urged him to improve it. After coming to Real Madrid, he quickly exposed this problem. Even in the game of Real Sociedad, Was completely blown away by the opponent.
But what is surprising is that after the two battles between Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid, James Rodriguez quickly bottomed out, became more active in training, and invested more in the game. The will is also stronger.
This convinced everyone that he is a very intelligent player who knows how to adjust his role.
When Di Maria was in a sluggish state because of participating in the World Cup, James Rodriguez suddenly emerged, and gradually began to form a competitive pressure on Di Maria in the position of right winger.
This also made the Argentine winger very depressed. He finally sent away a killer Robben, and now he has ushered in a younger, more valuable and more threatening James Rodriguez.
But there is no way, if you want to stay in a team like Real Madrid, even if it is as strong as Yang Yang, you must go all out.
Ancelotti's continuous reuse of James Rodriguez is undoubtedly a wake-up call for Di Maria.
…………
…………
At the beginning of the game, Athletic Bilbao used a long shot to create a threat, but it was just a little troublesome. Courtois easily saved the ball and did not give the opponent a chance.
And just a minute later, Real Madrid fought back.
After James Rodriguez received a pass from Modric on the right side of the front court, he took the ball with his back and flicked to the right side lightly. Carvajal quickly slipped in and quickly along the right line Sprint with the ball, draw all the defensive attention away, and then suddenly knock back.
James Rodriguez followed up and passed the ball straight to the back point without stopping.
With Suarez in the middle, Yang Yang easily ran to the back point, and with no defense, he headed a far corner.
The ball hit the lower right corner of the goal directly, one to zero!
The goal in just two minutes of the opening quickly ignited the passion of the Bernabéu Stadium.
Five minutes later, Real Madrid intercepted the ball in the midfield, and Toni Kroos sent a pass. Yang Yang quickly jumped in and got ahead of everyone.
On the periphery of the penalty area, facing the Athletic Bilbao central defender who had been defending all the way back, Yang Yang 1v2, a dexterous pendulum passed the opponent, dribbled the ball inside, and suddenly kicked between the two central defenders. Door.
A powerful volley close to the ground directly pumped the ball into the lower left corner of Athletic Bilbao again, two to zero!
Scored twice!
Yang Yang was very excited. With the support of his teammates, he rushed all the way to the sidelines of the fans' stands, accepting the cheers and applause from the fans.
Subsequently, Real Madrid completely controlled the situation on the field.
Before the end of the first half, in the 41st minute, Real Madrid got a front corner kick, Modric took a corner kick, Suarez headed forward and scored again, 3-0.
During the intermission, Ramos was replaced by Varane due to injury, but less than five minutes into the second half, Yang Yang retreated to respond and sent a very beautiful and imaginative shot Back pass.
At that time, it seemed as if he had eyes behind him, and he accurately sent the ball to Suarez who was sprinting, but the Uruguayan himself was taken aback, and he kicked his feet in a hurry, but failed to shoot high-quality shots, which was wasted The wonderful biography of Yang Yang.
But soon, Suarez sent a through kick, James Rodriguez made a cross from the right to the middle, Yang Yang easily stepped in, hit a close-range push shot, and staged a hat-trick!
Four to zero!
In the 69th minute, Modric stole the ball and instigated a counterattack. Yang Yang pulled to the left side of the penalty area. After receiving the pass, he passed it from the left to the center. Suarez scored near the penalty spot and scored twice. Spend.
Afterwards, Real Madrid made frequent substitutions, but in the 78th minute, in a corner kick attack, Harvey Martinez's header was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper. Another city.
Six to zero!
Another big four!
The entire Bernabéu stadium is completely crazy!
When Yang Yang was replaced by Jesse, more than 80,000 fans in the entire Bernabeu stood up and cheered loudly for him. All the fans were cheering for his crazy state this season.
Yang Yang's big four, Real Madrid's six-goal victory, is there anything more exciting for Real Madrid fans?
...
After the game, Ancelotti was very satisfied with the performance of this game. He believed that the team played a very high level both offensively and defensively, which proved that the team is getting better.
Regarding the wonderful performance of Yang Yang and Suarez in this game, Ancelotti said that both players are very good.
"One of them scored four goals, one scored twice, among other players, James Rodriguez had two assists, Hazard was also very dangerous on the left, Toni Kroos and Modly Qi sits in the midfield and also played steadily, each with an assist, I think they all performed very well."
Regarding how Real Madrid got out of the predicament of the previous rounds, Ancelotti emphasized two points, one is the unity of the team.
Real Madrid has been in and out of many stars over the years, including some of the world's top superstars, but the locker room has always maintained harmony, and everyone is very united, which is the key factor for the team's achievements.
Another is Yang Yang. Ancelotti believes that Yang Yang's comeback has allowed Real Madrid to find their soul again.
"If possible, I hope he can play 90 minutes every game, but we all know that is not realistic, so I need to arrange his playing time reasonably."
As for this year's Golden Globe Award, Ancelotti said with a smile, "Except for Yang Yang, I don't think anyone can receive this trophy. What do you think?"
All the media reporters at the scene couldn't help but smile.
Who said no?
This year is a big competition year. In the World Cup, Yang Yang led the Chinese team to the final. This is the first time in the history of the World Cup final that a non-European and South American team appeared. It can be called a miracle.
Not to mention in the club, Yang Yang's achievements, let alone surpassed, would be difficult to catch up with.
In this case, if not him, who else?
If Yang Yang was more high-profile, he could basically announce that he was elected in advance!
...
Great success has been achieved at the competitive level, and the commercial level is also unambiguous.
Just the day before Real Madrid played Athletic Bilbao, Forbes announced the 2014 Athlete Brand Value List.
Yang Yang once again topped the list. His brand value exceeded 100 million US dollars. Forbes said that the specific figure needs to be further confirmed, so it can only give a vague base number, which is more than 100 million US dollars.
But this ambiguity will not affect the authority of the list, because James of the American NBA ranks second. He returned to the Cavaliers this summer, with a brand value of 37 million U.S. dollars, and golf ranks third. Superstar Tiger Woods, he is 36 million US dollars, the fourth is the tennis king Federer, his brand value is 32 million US dollars.
In other words, if you add them all up, you can barely equalize with Yang Yang.
The other two players in the football field entered the top ten list, one is Cristiano Ronaldo with a brand value of 17 million US dollars, and the other is Messi with a brand value of 12 million US dollars, both of which are far behind Yang Yang Far.
The soaring brand value, coupled with the highlights of the World Cup, and the explosive status of this season, all of these have made Yang Yang's influence continue to increase, and his every move has attracted the attention of the world.
