...

In another match at the same time, Barcelona faced a draw again in their away game against Granada, and it was still zero to zero.

Guardiola's team is in trouble!

All the media and fans could see that it was 0-0 in two consecutive games, and in this game, one person was sent off in the 53rd minute, but it still failed to break the opponent's goal.

Granada is currently at the bottom of La Liga in points, but Barcelona failed to win the opponent and watched the three points slip through their fingers. dissatisfied with the status quo.

Even many fans are questioning the club, what is going on with the team now? What went wrong?

Real Madrid next door is making great progress, but Barcelona has suffered successive crises?

After a zero-to-zero draw with Sevilla in the last round, the team has gone from leading Real Madrid by one point to one point behind, and now it is a zero-to-zero game, directly expanding the points gap to three. point.

The derby of the century is imminent, three points behind Real Madrid, coupled with the poor record against Real Madrid in the past two years or more, all make Barcelona very worried, and the sky over Camp Nou has cast a shadow.

Even Catalan media revealed that Guardiola was disappointed with the current status of the team, but he was helpless, and he had already started to leave. This was undoubtedly worse for the once mighty Barcelona.

On October 29, the eleventh round of La Liga.

After suffering two embarrassing 0-0 draws, Barcelona finally got their heads up at Real Mallorca.

Messi scored a penalty kick in the thirteen minutes of the game, and he was frustrated that the key penalty against Sevilla was missed.

Then the Argentine star scored two goals in the 21st and 30th minutes respectively, while Cuenca and Alves scored in the second half to help Barcelona beat Real Mallorca 5-0 at home.

This hat-trick successfully raised Messi's goals to 13 goals and reversed Yang Yang again.

At the same time, Real Madrid challenged Real Sociedad away. After 90 minutes of hard fighting, with Yang Yang's goal in the ninth minute, Real Madrid narrowly beat Real Sociedad 1-0.

As a result, the Galaxy battleship is still three points ahead of Barcelona, ​​but Yang Yang is again behind Messi in the scorer list.

After the game, in an interview with Real Madrid's official website, Yang Yang said with a smile, "This is an interesting game."

Yang Yang said that he didn't take the victory or defeat too much into his heart, because he no longer needed to prove his strength to anyone, but he was happy to see evenly matched opponents, and he firmly believed that Messi's excellent form this season will be even better. Good to stimulate yourself.

Isn't it a hat trick?

Who wouldn't?

After the end of the crazy October hurricane, Real Madrid ushered in the first game of November.

Go away to face Lyon.

This is the key battle of Real Madrid's Champions League group stage. As long as Lyon is won, Real Madrid will be able to advance from the group stage with four consecutive victories. Not only that, but the team will also be able to set aside more energy in the next game. to deal with the domestic league.

But Lyon is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is also very tenacious in its own home.

Until the 22nd minute, Real Madrid won a free kick at the top of the penalty area.

Yang Yang stood at the penalty spot, facing the high human wall, he couldn't even see the whole picture of the goal behind the human wall, but he still took a deep breath, quickly stepped forward, and directly sent out a strange kick. curveball.

The only sound at the scene was a bang, and the ball quickly flew out of the top area of ​​the arc. After crossing the human wall, it fell rapidly with a strange arc.

Goalkeeper Loris reacted and pounced in the right direction, but he was still a step behind, and the ball almost wiped his fingertips into the door.

The entire Gerland Stadium fell into mourning, and even vaguely heard many Lyon fans exclaiming the name of Junior Juninho.

The Brazilian free-kick genius was once the darling of this stadium, and he once brought them countless wonderful free-kicks to score directly, but it is a pity that tonight brought them this strange and deadly direct free-kick. , but it was Yang Yang.

After scoring a direct free kick in the first half, in the 68th minute of the second half, Real Madrid once again intercepted the ball and counterattacked, quickly advancing to the frontcourt, Yang Yang and David Silva both entered the penalty area, and finally Yang Yang pushed in front of the goal. Shot, another victory for Real Madrid, but also staged a brace.

This is Yang Yang's third Champions League goal this season.

However, because Messi scored a hat-trick in the latest game against Pilsen Victoria, helping Barcelona beat the Croatian team 4-0 and successfully raising his Champions League goals to five goals, he still leads the Champions League scorer list.

Yang Yang scored three goals and four assists, and Messi scored five goals and two assists. From the perspective of scoring goals, the two superstars are neck and neck, but in terms of goals, Yang Yang is still slightly behind Messi.

However, the four-game winning streak in the group has allowed Real Madrid to advance from the group with their heads held high. In the remaining two rounds of group games, Real Madrid will win more breathing opportunities, especially for the next trend of La Liga.

After the four-game winning streak, Real Madrid will definitely stay in the Champions League.

On the flight back to Madrid from Lyon, France, Zidane found an excuse and sat next to Yang Yang. Speaking of this, he hoped that Yang Yang could temporarily put down the competition with Messi.

Because at present, Yang Yang is behind Messi in both La Liga and the Champions League.

...

"I used to be a professional player too, so I can understand your mood at this moment. No one likes to lose, but you should know that we have more important tasks now." Zidane persuaded earnestly.

What the coaching staff means is that the last two rounds of the Champions League will basically be dominated by substitutes and rotations. For a core player like Yang Yang, he must rest as much as he can and concentrate on playing the league.

"You know, three points in the league are not guaranteed. Barcelona's current situation is not optimistic. Internal and external troubles. This is our best chance. If we can directly open the gap in the first half, then all the pressure in the second half will be eliminated. All on their side, the situation will be more favorable for us." Zidane looked at the problem from the perspective of the team's strategy throughout the season.

Victory hides all contradictions, but defeat ruthlessly exposes all.

When Barcelona played smoothly, everything was smooth sailing. It seemed that there was no problem at all, but now there is a problem, especially under the pressure of Real Madrid. .

From summer training to frequent injuries, and now many players have questioned the team doctor, the media questioned the management's decision-making mistakes in summer training, and at the same time doubted whether there was a problem with Guardiola's training.

Sanchez is a player Guardiola brought in with a lot of money, and as a result, he was injured for half a year, which is another problem.

No one knows if Sanchez will be the second Ziglinski.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many fans, the first half is not very interesting, and the real showdown will be interesting only in the second half, when it is at the critical stage of deciding the outcome of the championship.

But the truth is, in the European professional leagues, every round matters.

"Yang, you have to believe in yourself, you have the ability to catch up with Messi, you don't need to care whether you play these two games or not, we need you to adjust your state, rest well, play the next league well, and prepare for the second half The process, especially the preparation for the sprint stage of the various competitions.”

Having said that, Zidane gently said the lessons he has learned after playing football all his life.

"Smart professional players should not only be good at distributing physical fitness reasonably in a game, but also know how to adjust their physical fitness and state reasonably and scientifically in a long season. You are a smart person, you should understand."

Yang Yang has always been a person who is good at listening to other people's opinions with humility, but this does not mean that he is an idiot and does not know how to distinguish between good and bad. On the contrary, he is very smart and he knows what is good for him.

Zidane is not wrong at all, it is meaningless to compete with Messi for goals in the group stage, because the real key is to watch the knockout stage. Useless.

I have never seen anyone say that the Champions League Golden Boot can still win the World Footballer.

Major awards have always only looked at honors, and rarely evaluated players' data.

"I only have one request." Yang Yang was persuaded by Zidane.

Zidane breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Yang Yang and knew that he was not the kind of guy who would admit his truth and wouldn't listen to other people's advice, but he was still worried that Yang Yang was young and energetic, and now he's fine.

"You said." The assistant coach said quickly.

"I want to play Ajax away." Yang Yang replied.

Zidane understood what Yang Yang meant, and this was the first time he returned to the Amsterdam Arena as a visiting team.

Yang Yang is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Ajax has nurtured him. When he returned to Amsterdam, he must have special feelings, so it is not surprising that he wants to play.

"Yes, but only as a substitute."

"Deal." Yang Yang smiled and stretched out his hand.

Zidane gave him a high five, took his right hand, and reached an agreement.
