Chapter 1226 Lonely De Bruyne

An hour after Real Madrid's 4-0 win at Granada, Barcelona's host to Celta Vigo ignited the fray at the Nou Camp.

Barcelona, ​​who had just suffered a one-to-five humiliation at the Bernabéu Stadium, after a week of rest, not only failed to regain their form and stepped out of the shadow of the derby of the century, but on their own home court, in the dominant position Under the circumstances, they lost to Celta Vigo with a 0-1 upset.

Luis Enrique rotated the team's midfield in this game. Busquets partnered with Rafinha and Rakitic to start. Barcelona's possession rate is still as high as 67%, but regardless of Whether it is the midfield operation or the trident in the frontcourt, the state is not very good.

After the game, Enrique attributed the loss to luck, because in this game Neymar had two goalposts and Messi also had one goalpost, but neither the media nor the fans would agree with this.

Luck is sometimes just a part of the game, but it is hardly a key factor.

With a 67% ball possession rate, 19 shots, and crushing the opponent in all directions, with such an advantage, not only did he fail to score, but he lost to the opponent 0-1. It has to be said that it is all due to luck It is impossible to convince others.

Coincidentally, Barcelona at the top of the list lost, and Sevilla, who ranked second, also lost.

Sevilla played an away game against Athletic Bilbao and lost 0-1.

The top two teams in the standings both lost, but Real Madrid scored three points. This allowed the Galaxy Battleship to jump to the top of the league table with a record of eight wins and two losses, and began to lead the standings.

Not only that, Valencia and Atletico Madrid also won Villarreal and Cordoba respectively in this game, and each scored three points, which made them quickly jump to second and third in the standings. He scored twenty-three points.

In this way, Barcelona and Sevilla, who lost the ball, can only fall to fourth and fifth.

The competition in La Liga still seems to be quite fierce, and the points of the top five teams are still very tight.

Real Madrid has won consecutive victories and has ushered in a seven-game winning streak in the league. They have also played strong dialogues against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. The next schedule is relatively favorable. lead.

Many media have also suggested that Real Madrid should take this opportunity to expand their lead as soon as possible.

Last year's Triple Crown champions established an advantage early in the league and then moved to other fronts. If they continue to be stalemate, in the second half, especially in March and April, the pressure will be too great to fight on multiple fronts.

Whether it is the outside world or inside the team, the situation is also very good.

The inside of the locker room is also full of confidence in the team's recent consecutive victories. Everyone hopes that the team can continue to maintain this momentum, continue to advance on all fronts, and strive to reach the peak again.

But in the seemingly calm and united Real Madrid dressing room, it was not all without problems.

In any team, as long as there is competition, there must be conflicts. Some will be the main players, some will be substitutes, some will be able to play, and some will feel depressed because they lost the chance to play.

…………

…………

At the age of 28, Yang Yang has been reducing the number of extra training items and intensity.

Even, on the second day of the game, he will finish training on time like the team, instead of staying for extra training like in the past, because he has begun to feel that his body's recovery speed is obviously slowing down.

This is the rhythm that the body can't bear.

Although there is no extra training, Yang Yang is often the last one to leave the team.

The day after the Granada game, everyone was still immersed in the joy of winning seven consecutive victories and reaching the top of the league standings. Many players even made appointments and wanted to celebrate properly, but Yang Yang did not give up after training. , On the training ground, I saw a teenager who was working hard on extra training.

Kevin De Bruyne!

A shy, quiet and easily shy young player.

Frankly speaking, Yang Yang doesn't know much about De Bruyne. Apart from his playing style on the court, it is more that he and Courtois joined Real Madrid at the same time, and the news of the two was hyped by the media. After a while, he was suppressed by the club again, and it gradually disappeared.

Some people say that Courtois cheated on De Bruyne's ex-girlfriend, but some media said that before De Bruyne's ex-girlfriend cheated on Courtois, De Bruyne himself cheated...

how to say?

This kind of thing seems unbelievable, even unforgivable, but if you understand European professional football, it is not difficult to find that it is really nothing, because professional football is a vanity fair, and countless girls fall in love with professional players every day hug.

For example, Buffon's wife used to be a model, but she was also the ex-girlfriend of Inzaghi and Vieri.

Vanity Fair is like this, professional football is like this, and so is entertainment.

But what really attracted Yang Yang to stop was not De Bruyne's extra training, but his way of extra training.

I saw the Belgian kicking the football against the barbed wire over and over again, running constantly, chasing the rebounding ball, and kicking it out quickly without stopping the ball, running again, kicking again...

Yang Yang stopped far away and looked at it for a while. He thought of himself who practiced against the broken wall in the Almere Skateboard Park. At this moment, he really had a resonance in his heart.

At the time, he was quite alone.

Because he felt that he was very dangerous, and he might not be able to stay in Almere anymore, but he had no way to tell anyone about this kind of thing, so he could only devote himself to hard training and constantly improve himself.

Now, De Bruyne should also be full of thoughts.

Thinking in his heart, Yang Yang put his luggage on the grass beside the road and walked slowly.

After kicking the ball hard again, the Belgian blond boy finally saw Yang Yang, but he didn't stop, but nodded to Yang Yang with a smile as a greeting, and chased after him.

Yang Yang didn't bother him either, just stood outside the field, watching him train through the barbed wire, watching De Bruyne who was sweating profusely, he was really full of memories, really similar.

More importantly, he knew that there must be a raging fire burning in De Bruyne's chest, supporting him all the time, carrying out such arduous training, just like him back then.

Yang Yang didn't speak, didn't disturb, just stood still and watched silently.

De Bruyne in the training ground was still concentrating on training at first, and would glance at Yang Yang from time to time, but gradually, he found that Yang Yang had been moving and watching, and he had doubts. Soon after, he finally couldn't bear it. Live stopped.

"Yang, do you have anything to do with me?" De Bruyne asked, panting on the wire fence.

"It's okay." Yang Yang shook his head with a smile, "I just want to watch you train."

"Watch me training?" De Bruyne was a little surprised, "There is nothing to see, just the simplest things, very boring."

"No." Yang Yang smiled and shook his head, "It's not boring at all."

"Huh?" De Bruyne didn't understand.

Isn't such a simple and basic training boring?

"I have experienced it too, and I have persisted for many years. If you had come earlier, maybe the two of us could be together, so I don't feel bored at all." Yang Yang explained with a smile.

"You also do this kind of basic training?"

"Yeah." Yang Yang nodded, "You only practice passing, but I practice more, including shooting, free kicks and others."

At this time, De Bruyne remembered the report he had seen on the news. At first he thought it was fake, but he didn't expect it to be true, and when he thought of Yang Yang's expression watching his training just now, it didn't look like that at all. cheating.

"But...why?" De Bruyne couldn't help asking.

Yang Yang thought for a while, "Because there is a fire burning in my chest, a fire that wants to prove myself to the world."

De Bruyne was a little stunned.

I was really stunned.

He looked at Yang Yang in disbelief, just like Yang Yang looked at him just now.

In his impression, Yang Yang is a lofty legend and the spiritual leader of the team. It can even be said that he is the most supreme god in today's world football, and everyone has to look up to him.

Such a proud son of heaven should be born extraordinary, and he should always step into the court with ten thousand rays of light. Why does he need to prove himself? Isn't this the psychology that only those who are not understood and recognized by others should have?

"It seems that I should really publish an autobiography." Yang Yang laughed.

De Bruyne was taken aback for a moment, but soon figured out what Yang Yang meant, that is, many people didn't understand him at all.

It's as if De Bruyne feels that many people don't understand himself.

Yang Yang’s name is too famous. When everyone mentions him, he is the number one player in the world today, the number one star of Real Madrid, etc. But for many people, they only know Yang Yang because he debuted in Ajax , helped Ajax win the Champions League as soon as they made their debut, but things going forward have been less and less mentioned over the years.

Gradually, everyone got used to Yang Yang's brilliance and peak, but they didn't pay attention to his experience of being almost kicked out of the youth team in Almere before joining Ajax.

This is also normal.

Whether it's the media or the fans, they still want to see Yang Yang's radiant side, rather than the bitter blood and tears before becoming famous.

Besides, how many years ago, who would bring it up and talk about it over and over again?

Yang Yang is also not interested in telling a young junior what happened to him back then. If there is, he must have published an autobiography for them to read by themselves.

But now he is very interested in De Bruyne.

This kind of interest is different from his interest in Jesse, which is more of a responsibility, not just entrusted by Raul and the management, but also because he knows the importance of Jesse to Real Madrid.

But for De Bruyne, Yang Yang resonates more.

It was just when he stood on the sidelines and silently watched De Bruyne play football, the memories that came out of that moment, and then a sense of identity.

"Can you tell me why you practice like this?" Yang Yang asked.
