Chapter 1252 Winter in Madrid Is a Bit Long!

On the evening of March 4th, the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final.

Real Madrid is a guest at the Ballad Stadium to challenge Villarreal.

Due to the 4-1 win in the first leg and the 2-1 narrow victory in the league just now, Real Madrid have won the last two games against Villarreal, which made Ancelotti start to make substantial changes to the team's starting lineup. rotation.

But there is one thing he dare not move, that is, Yang Yang in the frontcourt is still starting.

After narrowly beating Villarreal 2-1, Ancelotti joked that if he was given two Yang Yangs and let him take turns, Real Madrid would be able to maintain a complete victory throughout the season.

It is not difficult to see from it that the famous Italian coach respects and reuses Yang Yang.

And Yang Yang has never been disappointing. At the Love Song Stadium, only three minutes into the game, Yang Yang once again got the ball on the right, and in a one-on-one situation, forced to break through the left back Costa, but this time he was not The left foot hit the goal directly, but after cutting inside, he rubbed his left foot and made a cross, which fell directly behind the defense line.

Hazard also reacted quickly, quickly inserted, and succeeded in anti-offside. He scored the goal with a volley seven meters in front of the goal, opening the scoring for Real Madrid, 1-0, and the total score was 5-1!

It can be said that this goal basically sentenced Villarreal to death, because they had to score four goals to be considered an equalizer, which is basically impossible in theory.

But Villarreal is not a fuel-efficient lamp, especially the left back Costa, who can be the main force in the yellow submarine, it is impossible without a little level.

In the 39th minute, it was Costa's fast back pass from the left, which sent a wonderful pass to the former Barcelona player Dos Santos, helping the Mexican player score a goal and equalize the score. One to one.

But after changing sides in the second half, Mascherano sent a precise direct pass from the center. Suarez got rid of central defender Luiz and scored a single-handed goal for Real Madrid to overtake the score again.

In the 88th minute, De Bruyne once again sent a diagonal pass from the right rib, and Hazard succeeded in countering offside again. He scored a goal six meters in front of the goal and rewritten the score to 3-1.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Villarreal 3-1 on the road with a total score of 7-2 and advanced to the Copa del Rey final.

Real Madrid's opponent in the Copa del Rey final was 1-1 at home in the first leg, and defeated the Spaniard's Athletic Bilbao 2-0 away in the second leg.

What's more interesting is that three days later, Real Madrid was a guest at the San Mames Stadium and challenged Athletic Bilbao away.

…………

In the twenty-sixth minute of the game, Yang Yang was substituted.

The live TV camera was aimed at Yang Yang who was limping off the field. The blood on his right ankle had already stained the white socks, which had stained the football boots on his feet. Clearly see the violations he received during the game.

Athletic Bilbao has never been a good player. Any team visiting the San Mames Stadium must have the determination to fight to the end, especially Real Madrid. Everyone knows that this northern team is not interested in Real Madrid.

The game was very hot, and Athletic Bilbao was also unkind to the opponent in the Copa del Rey final. There were frequent big scenes in the game, especially against the brave Yang Yang, who did not hesitate to kill.

Yang Yang only played for 26 minutes and caused two Athletic Bilbao players to pay the price of yellow cards. The one that caused his ankle injury was one of them, but he finally couldn't persist and had to take the initiative to signal the coach on the sidelines The group makes substitutions.

Seeing Yang Yang limping off the court like this, not only the Real Madrid coaching staff and the bench were terrified, but even the fans and spectators who were separated by the TV were also in fear. If he was injured, the blow to Real Madrid would be unprecedented. .

"Yang Yang has performed very well this season. So far, he has scored 36 goals and 14 assists in La Liga. He has created 50 goals alone. It can be said that he is the most important player in the Real Madrid team. core soul."

"At the moment, Real Madrid is launching an impact on the La Liga champions, and at the same time it is the knockout stage of the Champions League. If Yang Yang is injured, it will be a very big blow to Real Madrid."

Ancelotti, Zidane, team doctor Carlos Dias and others all surrounded him. When they tore off Yang Yang's socks and saw the wound that was still bleeding, everyone couldn't bear it. I have to shake my head.

This group of bloody northern teams played really rough!

It was so rough that even Javi Martinez, who was born in Athletic Bilbao, couldn't stand it.

The team doctor quickly treated Yang Yang's wound, but it was obviously unrealistic to play again, because he would have to conduct a detailed examination to see if he had injured his ankle, which could not be sloppy.

Isco replaced Yang Yang in the starting line-up, Real Madrid changed into four-three-three, and Suarez acted as the lone striker alone.

...

After losing Yang Yang, Real Madrid's offense is still very strong, but the offensive efficiency is greatly reduced.

The team has not been out of the predicament recently, with constant mistakes in the offense and low offensive efficiency in the frontcourt. This makes Real Madrid seem to have a great offensive momentum, but they have not gained much.

Instead, in the 71st minute of the second half, Athletic Bilbao took advantage of Real Madrid's midfield pass error and succeeded in stealing. Nick sent a direct pass from the right, and Aduriz near the penalty spot beat Harvey Martine. Athletic Bilbao scored a goal for Athletic Bilbao with a header.

This is also the only goal in the game!

Real Madrid suffered their fourth defeat of the season away and missed three points!

In this game, Barcelona beat Rayo Vallecano 6-1 at home. The trident in the frontcourt was overwhelming and played an offensive storm. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, Messi scored a hat-trick, and Neymar Without starting, Pedro who replaced him sent an assist.

On the one hand, they encountered an upset, but on the other hand, they won by a big score. Barcelona's morale was like a rainbow, and they all expressed their intention to reverse Real Madrid in the future.

The four-point gap gave Barcelona another chance!

For Real Madrid, it is uncomfortable to be narrowed by the deadly enemy, but they have received excellent news, that is, Yang Yang only suffered a flesh injury in the match against Athletic Bilbao and bled a lot. It sounds more fierce, but in fact it doesn't get in the way, just rest and rest.

But for the sake of safety, Ancelotti still did not arrange for Yang Yang to start in the midweek match against Schalke 04 at home.

The away game won the opponent 2-0, and the home defeat of Schalke 04 does not seem to be suspenseful.

Even, Ancelotti arranged for Modric, who had been away from the stadium for a long time, to come back in this game.

…………

…………

March 10, at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.

In the second round of the knockout round of the Champions League round of 16, Real Madrid played against Schalke at home.

Ancelotti responded to the call from the outside world and once again resorted to a four-four-two formation. The midfielder once again deployed a double midfielder combination of Modric and Toni Kroos. The wings were Isco and Di Maria. The field is Jesse and Suarez.

Because Yang Yang injured his ankle in the match against Athletic Bilbao last week, he was not included in the squad for this match.

In just 20 minutes of the game, Real Madrid's defense made a mistake and was scored by Fuchs, a Schalke 04 player.

Just five minutes later, Toni Kroos set up Suarez to equalize.

But in the 40th minute, the former Real Madrid player Huntelaar scored a point in front of the goal and once again exceeded the score.

Five minutes later, it was Suarez again, receiving a pass from Azpilicueta to equalize again for Real Madrid.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, in the 52nd minute, another pass from Azpilicueta from the left, Jesse scored a goal to reverse the score and let everyone see the opportunity.

But five minutes later, the teenager Sane, who came off the bench, scored a goal to equalize the score again.

Three to three, Real Madrid finally tied Schalke 04 at home.

...

Another bad game!

At the post-match press conference, Ancelotti said frankly that his team had indeed encountered a problem, and it was a very serious problem.

"We want to do better, to play football that pleases everyone, but everyone sees that we play poorly, we are booed by the fans, it's not the fans' fault, because we did it. not good enough."

Ancelotti said that the failure of the opponent in this game, the main problem is reflected in several levels, one is the team's lack of confidence, which is very terrible in the game.

So what is the reason that makes the mighty Real Madrid lose confidence?

Ancelotti mentioned Yang Yang, thinking that Yang Yang's absence had a great impact on Real Madrid.

"I don't know how to explain this phenomenon, but really, whether it's the players or the coaches, as long as we go into the locker room and see Yang Yang sitting there, we will feel very relieved, we will feel a sense of confidence. From the deepest part of my heart, it is constantly rising.”

Although he tied Schalke 04 and advanced in a bad way, Ancelotti still expressed his confidence in the team and his trust in the players. He believed that the team could get out of the predicament soon.

"We need to think about the defense, that's where all the mistakes we made this game."

Ancelotti also defended Modric, who had a sluggish performance in the audience, "This is his first game after a few months away. It is my responsibility for his unsatisfactory performance. I am a little too hasty. Maybe it would be better for him to come off the bench." Good choice."

As for the boos from the fans in the stands and the rumors of getting out of class, Ancelotti said helplessly that he had heard it many times, "I won't think about it now, I will continue my work I do the best I can for the team and I believe we can come out of this."

Yang Yang sat in the stands throughout the game, but he did not accept any media interviews after the game, but went directly to the locker room.

He saw Real Madrid players all bowed their heads and walked off the field.

They were tied, not lost, but it was no different from losing.

When many players saw Yang Yang, their eyes were red.

"Don't worry, it will be over soon." Yang Yang stepped forward quickly, hugging and comforting his teammates one by one.

This year, the winter in Madrid is a bit longer.
