Chapter 1274: Ball King
On the evening of May 30th, at 21:30, at the Bernabéu Stadium in Barcelona.
Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final.
When the game progressed to the tenth minute, an attack by Real Madrid was cleared by Athletic Bilbao, and they quickly counterattacked.
But as soon as the ball reached Real Madrid's half, it was immediately headed back by Harvey Martinez.
After David Silva stopped the ball, he took two steps horizontally and quickly passed it to the right rib. Di Maria stopped the ball to the left. Transfer the ball to the left side of the penalty area behind the defensive line.
Yang Yang, who was ambushing in the defensive line of Athletic Bilbao, got rid of the defender in an instant, succeeded in anti-offside, and entered the penalty area at a very fast speed. Facing Di Maria's long pass, he volleyed without stopping the ball Pad sent the ball accurately into the goal of Athletic Bilbao.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"
At this moment, the Camp Nou stadium was completely boiling.
The Real Madrid fans who occupied nearly half of the seats stood up frantically, bursting out with unprecedented passion at this moment.
Yang Yang! It's Yang Yang again!
At critical moments, Yang Yang never disappoints!
The players of Athletic Bilbao were protesting to the referee, thinking that Yang Yang's goal was an offside, but the referee signaled that Athletic Bilbao's young central defender Laporte was at the end, causing the team to create The offside trap failed and insisted that Yang Yang's goal was valid.
The Athletic Bilbao players had no choice but to accept this result.
...
In the 20th minute, Real Madrid's quick counterattack after stealing the ball failed to show speed.
Yang Yang pulled to the left side of the penalty area to respond. After receiving a pass from Marcelo, he just turned around and faced a one-on-one defense from Athletic Bilbao defender Bustinza.
But before Yang Yang made any moves, two more defensive players from Athletic Bilbao surrounded him. Both San Jose and Iraura returned to their defensive positions and cooperated with Bustinza to double-team Yang Yang. , trying to imprison him on the left side so that he cannot move.
But Yang Yang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Before the opponent completes the encirclement, he immediately dribbles the ball and rushes directly to Bustinza, trying to quickly form a breakthrough from the side to create a threat.
Athletic Bilbao already knew how big the threat of Yang Yang was, and had made sufficient preparations before the game. When he dribbled the ball and launched an attack, Athletic Bilbao's defense kept retreating.
The strategy of the three defenders was to keep him on the left flank and cut him off from the rest of the Real Madrid players.
But Yang Yangyi is a bold man. After breaking through the 30-meter area from the left, he spotted a loophole in the opponent's defense. He suddenly dribbled the ball in, threw Bustinza away, and slanted into the penalty area towards the ribs. , and before San Jose and Elora formed a double-team, a beautiful man scored a pass, forced a breakthrough to San Jose, and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
Facing Yang Yang, who was getting faster and getting closer, Athletic Bilbao center back Etcheta felt like a formidable enemy, especially after Yang Yang entered the penalty area, he frowned even more, not daring to be careless.
I saw Yang Yang dribbled the ball away from the encirclement of the three defenders, and then faced Etexieta alone in the penalty area. He made a gesture of changing direction to pull the ball horizontally and cut inward, which tricked the Athletic Bilbao central defender into doing it immediately. Out of the blockage.
A man's name, a tree's shadow!
Yang Yang's lethality in Yang Yang's area is not blown out!
But after Yang Yang pulled the ball for a while, he suddenly kicked the ball back with his right foot, took a step forward with his left foot, chased after him, and shot directly.
The ball stuck to the turf at an extremely fast speed and shot towards the goal of Athletic Bilbao.
Goalkeeper Erelin's attention just now was also attracted by Yang Yang's pull and cut in. At this time, he reacted and made a sideways lunge immediately, but it turned out to be a step slower.
The ball almost brushed the left post and crashed into the goal, two to zero!
Thunderous cheers erupted again at Camp Nou, Real Madrid fans happily shouted Yang Yang's name.
Athletic Bilbao is not a weak team. Before the game, everyone had a premonition that this would be a difficult stalemate.
Unexpectedly, in just 20 minutes, Real Madrid had already led by two goals!
Yang Yang scored two goals for Real Madrid!
…………
…………
When Yang Yang scored the second goal and galloped to celebrate at Camp Nou, the giants of the Real Madrid management, like other fans, stood up excitedly from their seats and applauded vigorously.
This is a very memorable Copa del Rey final!
Not because of the opponent Athletic Bilbao, but because the final venue is at Camp Nou!
As early as a few months ago, not long after the Copa del Rey had just started, the venue for the final of the Copa del Rey this year was arranged at the Bernabéu. At that time, Barcelona even shouted the slogan of winning the championship at the Bernabéu. , Real Madrid reached the Copa del Rey final, which is embarrassing.
Athletic Bilbao requested to change the final venue before the game, but due to various reasons, Valencia, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, which often host the Copa del Rey finals, could not meet the needs of the final, and finally chose Camp Nou.
For this matter, Barcelona protested many times, but in the end they could only accept it.
However, despite accepting it, Barcelona fans did not make much trouble for Real Madrid before the game.
On the eve of the game, it has become a routine to go to the hotel where Real Madrid stayed to harass. In the game, they still stood on the side of Athletic Bilbao, creating a huge momentum.
Of course, Real Madrid was not to be outdone, and the team fans also occupied nearly half of the seats, making the atmosphere extremely hot.
With Yang Yang's two goals, Real Madrid can basically be said to be sure of winning.
...
"Yang Yang is indeed worthy of the title of champion!" Valdano praised convincingly.
Just now, it is not difficult to see Yang Yang's absolute confidence in himself, his insight into the situation in the game, and his grasp of timing can be said to be extremely good.
Now Yang Yang plays very smartly, and is able to deal with any unexpected situation with ease. He plays football with a very free and easy feeling, but in fact, it is based on absolute strength and absolute confidence.
Body, technique, experience... He is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of his career!
"There are still many people who don't agree." Florentino laughed.
The introduction of Yang Yang was during his administration, and it can even be said to be the most sensible and greatest transfer in the history of Real Madrid.
Valdano shook his head and smiled wryly, "The club's results are impeccable, but the national team's results, leading the Chinese team to the World Cup final is much more difficult than Maradona leading Argentina to win the championship!"
As a teammate next to Maradona back then, Valdano's praise of Yang Yang is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of his career achievements, and it is also a confirmation of Yang Yang's title of "ball king".
Florentino nodded in relief, he was very happy to see Yang Yang's outstanding performance.
To some extent, the better Yang Yang performed, the stronger his status as chairman and the higher his achievements.
Aiwujiwu, fans of Real Madrid and members of the board of directors, will recognize his governance even more.
What's more, in recent years, under the leadership of Yang Yang, Real Madrid has been on the court like a bamboo, with outstanding results, and the club's management is also booming. Duxiu, among which Yang Yang contributed the most.
"Ancelotti still has no plans to renew his contract?" Florentino asked with concern.
Valdano nodded, "It seems that he has made up his mind."
Although the outside world has been rumored that Ancelotti's resignation after the end of this season is a certainty, in fact, Real Madrid's top management is still trying to save it, because Ancelotti's coaching performance is really outstanding.
"Then let him go!" Florentino said resolutely, "Our Real Madrid will never sink just because we lose a coach or a star. The glory of the past year, we have come this way.”
Wealthy families have always been iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers.
Whether it is the head coach or the players, there is often a shelf life.
The peak period of a player's career is as short as one or two years, and as long as five or six years. Even if it is ten years as long as Yang Yang, who can guarantee that after he is over thirty, he will still be in such a crazy state tonight?
Once he reaches the end of his life, he will definitely become a substitute, or even leave the team one day.
The same is true of the coaching style of the head coach. Those who can really lead the technical and tactical trends of European football are often those few years. After this period of time, if they cannot supplement and improve themselves in time, they will be eliminated sooner or later.
Therefore, long-term coaches like Ferguson and Wenger are almost impossible to reproduce.
Now, Ancelotti is determined to leave, and Florentino will not do anything to force him to stay.
"Zidane should be ready." Florentino said confidently.
He has always had an idea, that is to build a team that is full of superstars from the players to the head coach, and Zidane is the ideal head coach candidate in his vision.
Valdano also believes that Zidane is a suitable candidate, because he has assisted Benitez and Ancelotti successively over the years, and has rich experience in first-line coaching. For a superstar of his level, this learning and adaptation The stages are long enough.
"But he has a request." Valdano smiled wryly.
Florentino was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly, "Do you still want Yang Yang to be his assistant?"
Valdano nodded, a little ironic.
Yang Yang's ability, as well as his status and influence in Real Madrid, are beyond doubt, and he is fully qualified to be this assistant coach, but the problem is that Yang Yang is only 28 years old, which is the golden age of playing football. ?
"Zidane said that he doesn't need any other assistants except Yang Yang."
Florentino found it funny when he heard it. Yang Yang and Zidane are both his most admired and the two signings he was most proud of during his administration, especially Yang Yang, so he would not know the combination of the two at all. Feel resistant.
It's just that the timing doesn't seem right.
But think again, what kind of changes will the combination of Yang Yang and Zidane bring to Real Madrid?
