1066 Can he?
On January 6, the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.
Winter nights always come very early and cold.
This year, it didn't start snowing until Christmas in Madrid. It's been cold these days, just like Real Madrid's situation.
Ramos was sitting in the stands at the Bernabeu in a down jacket.
Although he was suspended for accumulating yellow cards in this game, he and all his teammates who were not on the roster came to the scene and faced the opponent Real Sociedad with the team.
Real Sociedad, this team is indeed not very good in recent years, and has even been in the Spanish Second Division for three consecutive years. But you should know that they had won the second place in La Liga at the beginning of the century, and have performed well so far this season. Whether it is head coach Philip Montanier or several players in the team, they have received unanimous praise.
For example, French rookie Griezmann, Carlos Bella, who once played for Arsenal, and Ilia La Mendi, who was known as Xavi Alonso II, all showed a dazzling level and attracted the attention of European football.
Faced with such a strong enemy, Ramos was forced to sit on the bench to watch the game, and he felt extremely angry.
What made him even more anxious was that Real Madrid failed to open up the situation on the court.
Just 87 seconds into the game, Real Madrid took the lead in breaking the opponent's goal, and Yang Yang assisted Robben to score a goal.
But in the sixth minute, Real Sociedad launched a quick counterattack. Carlos Bella dribbled the ball into Real Madrid's penalty area. Mascherano, who was chasing him all the way back, tripped him while defending. The referee Ignacio was sentenced to the extreme without hesitation, with a red card and a penalty kick, and Real Sociedad equalized the score.
This time, Mascherano cannot be blamed for the red card. It can only be said that he is very responsible and chases back all the way, but in the end he still failed to stop Carlos Bella. This player was attracted by Arsenal back then, which shows his strength and potential.
Then, Real Madrid knocked on Real Sociedad again, and David Silva scored a goal, but before the first half was approaching the end of the year, Carlos Bella's wonderful pass assisted Prito to score a goal, scoring a double score.
After the second half of the game, Yang Yang received a pick-up pass from Robben, and a volley with his right foot, breaking the goal of Real Sociedad again. However, ten minutes later, Griezmann made a straight pass, and Prieto threw away Carvajal and scored a single shot from the right side of the penalty area, equalizing the score again. Prieto scored a hat-trick.
In the 79th minute, Estrada accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off with a red card. The number of players on both sides returned to the same level.
But after being sent off, Real Sociedad began to shrink its defense line and fought very tenaciously.
Ilia La Mendi is the first in the interception and steal data list in La Liga this season, and his passing ability is excellent. He can be said to be a big hit and won everyone's recognition. He also performed well in this game. Whether it is organization and planning offense or defense, it is remarkable, and it has the style of Xavi Alonso back then.
In the 74th minute, Ancelotti replaced David Silva with Modric, allowing Modric and Xavi Alonso to partner with a double midfielder, and in the 83rd minute, Morata replaced Robben with Morata.
Hazard played in the midfield throughout the game, but was strictly restricted by Ilia Lamendi and his performance was average.
Morata's appearance was to withstand Real Sociedad's defense and allow Yang Yang to free up his hands to create a threat.
Sure enough, Morata played for six minutes, in the 90th minute, Yang Yang received a pass from Hazard on the left rib of the frontcourt and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. He was fouled by his opponent and won a chance to have a free kick in the frontcourt.
Ramos stood up from his seat excitedly, put his hands in front of his mouth, and shouted loudly at Yang Yang.
Although he knew that Yang Yang on the court could not hear his shouts at all, he still hoped that Yang Yang could hear them.
Real Madrid has won fourteen consecutive games in La Liga. If they win another game, they will win fifteen consecutive games. There are only two games away from the five major league records set by Inter Milan, and the 28 consecutive games in each front will also set a new record.
Real Madrid is very difficult nowadays. The injury of the whole team and the sluggish state are undoubtedly at a low point, but the more this happens, the more you need to grit your teeth and persevere.
This is like the extreme phenomenon in a long-distance running. All previous efforts will be wasted when you stop. Only by gritting your teeth and persevering and continuing to run forward can you quickly pass the extreme. Then you will have a second breath and your movements will become lighter and faster.
So, what Real Madrid needs is persistence.
"Come on, Yang, you can only rely on you, you must come on!" Ramos shouted vigorously.
…………

"If you don't make this penalty, this game will be over." Bardano said heartbrokenly.
He has extremely rich professional league experience, so he knows that many times the competition is just one breath.
Real Madrid kept scoring goals, getting equalized, and being hit repeatedly in this game. It can be said that everyone's spirit and will have reached their limits, especially as the game is approaching the end, everyone will become more nervous and fragile.
If Yang Yang fails to score this penalty at this time, then his breath will be discharged.
Real Sociedad must have understood this, so they set up a very targeted wall of people, and everyone retreated inside and outside the penalty area, tightly deployed controls, restricting everyone in Real Madrid.
Yang Yang only has one way to go, that is, to send the ball directly into it.
"It's too difficult, at this time, for anyone," Florentino sighed.
After playing for a full ninety minutes, it was three to three, and it was really hard to ask for such a penalty kick. Even if Yang Yang failed to score, it would be normal.
For free kicks, who dares to say that he scored every shot?
"It's too difficult, but all hope is placed on Yang Yang. He is punished and we win, and we win, and the winning streak record continues. If we don't, we will draw, or even lose, and the winning streak record is ended." Bardano said with a frown.
He hasn't said anything yet, that is, whenever a record of long-term winning streak or unbeaten is over, the team will often face a trough, and those cross-season records are better, and situations like Real Madrid are very dangerous.
Once the record is ended, the team's problems will continue to be exposed.
This is very unfavorable to Real Madrid, because the Champions League will usher in the knockout round next time. In terms of the league, Barcelona is biting very tight again. Now Real Madrid has many injured themselves and their condition has not been adjusted yet. If something goes wrong at this time, it will be a disaster.
Even serious may ruin the entire season.
"I believe in Yang Yang. I believe in him no matter whether he is punished or not." Florentino said heavily.
Of course he hoped to get the penalty, but if he didn't get the penalty, he had to admit it.
…………
…………
On the court, Yang Yang put the ball in his hand and stepped on the surrounding grass, and slowly retreated.
Stand firmly, take a deep breath, and look straight ahead.
In front of him, the one who looked at him was Ilia Lamendi in the human wall.
This 22-year-old young player has shined this season, both offense and defense, and has a bright future. Not only Atletico Madrid, Valencia and other teams are targeting him, but it is said that even Real Madrid and Barcelona are interested in him. Together with Malaga's European Golden Boy Award winner Isco, he is known as the best among the new generation of young Spanish players.
They are about the same age as Real Madrid's Morata, Hesse, Kavajal and others, and are all hoped for.
The reason why Ilia La Mendi is outstanding is not only because of his defense, but also because he is proficient in passing, has a high success rate and a clean style of play. As a defensive player behind, this is very rare.
In addition to Ilia La Mendi, the tall players of Real Sociedad are basically ranked in the walls. It is obvious that Yang Yang takes the penalty this time, and head coach Montanier even walked to the sidelines to direct the team to defend.
Behind the wall, 30-year-old goalkeeper Claudio Bravo from Chile was constantly directing the wall to move. He was also defending against himself and Yang Yang's free throws, hoping to force Yang Yang's free throws to the route he planned in advance.
He is 1.84 meters tall and proficient in right foot.
All the information about the Chilean goalkeeper I saw before the game appeared in Yang Yang's mind.
His memory has always been very good and he can never forget it all, so he will never forget the information he has seen. In addition to the information, he has also seen some save clips of Bravo, which were specially edited by Real Madrid goalkeeper coach for Yang Yang.
From all the information, Yang Yang can basically judge that Bravo has a very obvious flaw, that is, his control range in the goal line is not large, especially in the area above the left, which is even more blind.
This is a common problem for almost all right-footed goalkeepers.
Bravo is good at attacking, just like Real Madrid's goalkeeper Casillas. If a small goalkeeper guards the goal line, he will be at a loss and must take the initiative to attack. However, as he gets older, his physical function will continue to decline and his reaction speed will slow down. The final result is that Real Madrid has begun to look for Casillas' successor.
And the same problem will also occur with Bravo.
Thinking of this, Yang Yang had already made a decision in his mind.
Just at this time, Real Sociedad had already set up a wall of people. Claudio Bravo clapped his palms with both hands, loudly reminding and encouraging his teammates to guard this last level and not let Yang Yang get the ball into the penalty.
The referee showed a total of two red cards today, one for Real Madrid, one for direct red cards, and the other for Real Sociedad. The two yellows turned into one red, which caused him to feel a lot of pressure now.
Real Madrid led three times in a row, but were tied three times. Both sides can be said to be quite tenacious.
Now, both sides have tried their best to win or draw.
But everyone has heard of Yang Yang's free kick.
However, this time, he was able to score this free kick after playing ninety minutes of attrition and his body was not in his best condition at all?
Can he?
