The next day, Real Madrid narrowly beat Barcelona 2-1 at home, which quickly became the focus news reported by major media around the world. Yang Yang scored twice in this game and won unanimous praise from the media and fans.

More importantly, the second goal was a key finale, and it was not just a three-pointer.

Marca reported on the front page of the front page that Yang Yang tucked the football into his shirt to pretend to be a pregnant woman, and the audience rushed to celebrate after scoring the second goal. The background of the camera is the stands of the Bernabeu. Spectacular.

Comments said that this was a victory for Yang Yang.

"Judging from the process of the game, Benitez has undoubtedly given up the idea of ​​winning, and he is still preparing for the upcoming Copa del Rey final, which is exactly the same as the pre-match speculation. Real Madrid attaches more importance to it. It's the Copa del Rey final."

"In the final stage of the game, after Barcelona could not attack for a long time, Guardiola also gave up his determination to win because his team could not find an effective way to break through Real Madrid's defense in 90 minutes. , even though they were one more man than their opponents throughout the second half."

"It can be said that at the last moment of the game, including the players in the stadium, the fans in the stands, and the audience in front of TVs all over the world, almost everyone believes that this game will be a draw and shake hands and make peace. , but only Yang Yang is still struggling to find opportunities."

"The Goddess of Victory finally favored this diligent superstar. At the last moment of the game, she gave him a crucial opportunity, and Yang Yang also showed his strength and value as the number one player in world football, calmly at the critical moment. Seized the opportunity and earned a direct free-kick from Pique."

"After playing for more than 90 minutes, Yang Yang is undoubtedly exhausted, but he still chooses to take the penalty himself, which shows his strong self-confidence, and he did not disappoint. The falling leaf ball pierced through Barcelona's goal, and Valdes didn't even have time to react."

"This is not so much a victory for Real Madrid as it is for Yang Yang."

"Two goals, especially the second goal, completely reflects the importance of Yang Yang to this Real Madrid team."

Marca also analyzed that after winning Barcelona in this game, the gap between the two teams was successfully shortened to two points. This is undoubtedly crucial for Real Madrid, and it is also meaningful for La Liga fans. extraordinary.

"There are still six rounds left in the league, and Real Madrid has successfully shortened the gap to two points, which means that as long as Barcelona makes a mistake, Real Madrid will replace it and reverse to the top, which requires Guardiola's team to be in the rest. Only by maintaining a 100% record in six rounds can we be sure to win the championship.”

"This is undoubtedly a very high demand."

Marca reported that the biggest weakness of Guardiola's team is that their bench is not thick, the first team has fewer personnel than Real Madrid, and Guardiola has not many cards available, especially in the second half.

Barcelona's MVP combination is the guarantee of the team's offense this season. This pair of Tridents once played an offensive storm, which made the entire La Liga and European football terrified. The state has obviously declined rapidly, and only Messi is still struggling to maintain it.

A very important reason is that Guardiola does not trust Bojan, especially after Bojan was injured, Barcelona's striker basically has no one available, and can only let the MVP trident play in every game.

Not only the forwards, but also the midfield and the back line. Guardiola has very few players available. Whether it is Sedou Keita, Afele, or Bartra, Guardiola has not been able to reassure them. entrusted with responsibility.

"Before the game, everyone knew that after Real Madrid and Barcelona finished the derby of the century, they would go to Valencia to compete in the Copa del Rey final. Benitez hid Robben and Kaka in this game, and also replaced them early. Ibrahimovic and Xavi Alonso, but Guardiola has Messi, Xavi and Iniesta all playing for the whole game."

"This is a signal that can't be more obvious. Guardiola has very few players in his hands. After playing the whole game and fighting on multiple lines in a row, this group of Barcelona players can play in Mestani. It's also a question of how well the subfield can play."

"Guardiola's calculus should be to win Real Madrid on the road and win La Liga ahead of time. In this way, Real Madrid will inevitably suffer a big drop in morale, and in the final of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid has to take the initiative to attack, which gives Barcelona a chance. ."

"But Yang Yang's second goal completely disrupted Guardiola's layout and intentions. Now, Barcelona lost 1-2 away, and the original five-point lead was shortened to two points. In the next six games, every It was a decisive battle, and the morale of the Barcelona players took a serious hit, coupled with the physical disadvantage..."

"It should be said that before the Copa del Rey final, Guardiola's team was more worrying, but Real Madrid's morale was like a rainbow."

...

In addition to Marca, many Spanish media such as Aspen, Le Monde, El Pais, as well as mainstream European media, have all summarized and analyzed the Century Derby, and also previewed the King's Cup final three days later.

Without exception, everyone agreed that Yang Yang's second goal not only brought three points and victory to the team, but also reversed the situation of the league, and more importantly, created the next King's Cup final. better situation.

"If Guardiola is not careful, it is very likely that he will lose two games in a row this week." Catalonia's daily sports newspaper reminded the team without worry.

Barcelona legend Cruyff criticized Real Madrid's tactics in a column, believing that Benitez's defensive strategy is anti-football.

"From the point of view of the formation of this game, Benitez's tactics only gave me an impression, that is, there is no thought, no pursuit, the only thing he wants is a draw, and relying on luck and Yang Yang , he got three points."

Cruyff rarely gave Yang Yang a good evaluation, but for Real Madrid, he still thinks that it is far inferior to Barcelona.

But soon, Marca published a column of Real Madrid's honorary chairman Di Stefano, which was dictated by Di Stefano, written by a Marca reporter, and recognized by Di Stefano. Column article published later.

The Real Madrid legend refuted Cruyff's remarks, arguing that Real Madrid played blood and kicked the club's traditional Juanito spirit.

"It's hard for me to imagine that if Real Madrid still pressed out to fight against their opponents when they were one man less than their opponents for a long time, would it be a group of brave fighters? Or stupid reckless men?"

Di Stefano believes that Real Madrid should admit the gap. At this stage, Barcelona is still the best team in the world and plays the best football. They beat Barcelona in all four games, an unprecedented feat.

"I'm very optimistic that the team will continue to win against Barcelona in the next Copa del Rey final, even the Champions League."

In the end, Di Stefano believes that he has become a fan of Yang Yang.

"He's an incredible player, and what's even more incredible is that he's only 24 years old and has several years of his prime, and I'm very grateful that I'm going through an unprecedented era in football."

Guardiola did not pay attention to the various rumors that were flying all over the world.

After returning from the disastrous defeat at the Bernabeu on the road, he conducted closed training in Gamble Sports City and declined all interviews.

Internally, he told all the players that losing 1-2 to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu was not an unacceptable result. He was very satisfied with the process of the game, because Barcelona firmly controlled the situation and rhythm from beginning to end.

"The most important thing is the next six league games, each of which we have to play as a final!"

Guardiola also mentioned Barcelona's advantage, which is the Champions League.

Real Madrid is going to face Manchester United in the Champions League. This is definitely a battle between dragons and tigers. Benitez's team is very familiar with the Premier League, but Manchester United's overall strength is very strong. Real Madrid must go all out, which is bound to be a distraction.

But Barcelona is different. Although Schalke 04 reached the semi-finals, the overall strength is not outstanding. There is no suspense for Barcelona to win the opponent, so Barcelona can focus more on the league.

Even Guardiola proposed to win Schalke 04 early in the first leg of the semi-final.

The Champions League is in the final, the King's Cup is in the final, and as long as I don't make mistakes, the La Liga champion is in the bag.

Guardiola has drawn an exciting blueprint for the team, that is, a treble!

In the summer of 2009, they longed to realize the dream that they almost failed to realize!

And that year, they were Liverpool who lost to Yang Yang and Benitez!

...

After listening to Guardiola's analysis and motivation, the players' morale recovered to a certain extent, but the data fed back by the coaching staff were not satisfactory.

The physical consumption caused by fatigued combat is the first major problem that Barcelona is now facing.

Many players in the team are facing a physical crisis, but Guardiola has nothing to replace.

He has tried and gave Sedou Keita, Bojan and others opportunities, but they have not been able to perform as expected.

Against other teams, they may still be competent, but against Real Madrid and Yang Yang, they will become the weak underbelly and unstable factor in the Barcelona team.

Contrary to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid's bench is thicker, which is particularly important in continuous fierce battles.

When Barcelona's rotation space is getting smaller and smaller, Benitez's options are increasing.

Even now, Guardiola and his team are not sure what kind of tactics will Benitez and his Real Madrid play at the Mestagna three days later?

Will there be an opening attack?

Will Kaka and Robben go on at the same time?

Is that a double back or a triple back?

A lot of problems flooded into Guardiola's mind, making him involuntarily frown.
