1227 This is an opportunity!
After playing in the tenth round of La Liga, Real Madrid ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week.
Liverpool is welcomed again at home.
At home, Ancelotti once again rotated the lineup, including David Silva, Hazard, James Rodriguez and other players, and Real Madrid also controlled the scene very smoothly.
In the 27th minute, Marcelo made a cross from the left, and Suarez made a close shot, opening the first record for Real Madrid.
In the 71st minute of the second half, Marcelo made a cross from the left again. Yang Yang had no shooting angle under Scotter's interference and goalkeeper Miniole's blockage, so he picked it lightly. The ball reached the back point, and James Rodriguez followed and shot and expanded the score to 2-0.
The score also remained until the end of the game, with Real Madrid defeating Liverpool 2-0.
After winning four consecutive Champions League wins, Real Madrid has basically won the right to qualify as the first in the group, but Liverpool's situation has become even worse. If the Reds want to qualify, they must win the opponent in the remaining two group matches.
This is also the first time that Yang Yang has not scored no goals since his comeback this season.
The media and fans are very tolerant of this, believing that Yang Yang has scored so many consecutive games, so it is normal for this game to take a break. Everyone believes that Yang Yang is just adjusting his condition.

On the weekend, in the 11th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Vallecano at home.
The day before this game, Yang Yang officially received the European Golden Boot Award last season in Madrid. Before the game, Real Madrid also held a brief debut ceremony. Yang Yang entered the venue with the Golden Boot Award alone, received applause from all the fans and players, and showed all Real Madrid fans the trophy he just won.
This is also a tradition of Real Madrid, but it was rare in the past. After Yang Yang joined, it was held almost once or twice a year because he won too many awards.
During the game, Yang Yang was very active.
Just nine minutes into the game, Yang Yang retreated to meet the midfield and broke away from the defensive player and turned around, giving a straight pass. Hazard made a cross from the left, and Di Maria scored a goal from the edge of the small penalty area, opening the first record for Real Madrid.
Subsequently, Yang Yang dribbled the ball and forcibly broke through three opponents. He was fouled behind the back by Vallecano's last defensive player at the front of the penalty area, but the referee refused to give a penalty.
Real Madrid defended this, but it was not strong.
Everyone knows that this is a referee's law enforcement strategy.
Vallecano is not as strong as Real Madrid, and now he is behind with another goal. If another player is sent off, the game will be completely lost and may even turn into a massacre.
Professional football itself can be regarded as a show, a show that pleases fans and makes fans happy.
But after forty minutes, Vallecano's physical fitness declined. First, Hazard earned a corner kick for Real Madrid, Fermall headed the ball, and Ramos scored a goal from the back, winning another goal for Real Madrid.
In the last attack near the end of the first half, Vallecano made a mistake in the midfield's return pass, Modric made a straight pass, Yang Yang inserted it at high speed, dribbled the ball and dribbled the opponent's central defender, and then slammed the goalkeeper after forming a single shot, calmly hitting the empty goal, three-to-zero.
After the second half of the game, in the 55th minute, Yang Yang dribbled the ball into the penalty area and passed back from the right side. Tony Kros scored a long shot from the outside of the penalty area, four to zero.
Four minutes later, Yang Yang forced a breakthrough on the right side of the penalty area and made a cross. Suarez scored from close range, but Vallecano's players protested Suarez's offside. The referee did not accept it and continued to make a penalty and the goal was valid.
In the 73rd minute, Isco, who came on the bench, dribbled the ball and made a straight pass. Suarez deliberately missed. After Yang Yang received the ball from the left side of the penalty area, he swung past the opponent's central defender and cut inward. He shot hard with his right foot, breaking through Vallecano's goal again, 6-0!
With two passes and two shots, Yang Yang showed excellent condition!
...
While Real Madrid beat Vallecano six goals, Barcelona narrowly reversed Almeria 2-1 away. Neymar scored a goal to equalize the score in the trident, and Alba scored a goal in the final stage of the game to reverse.
It can be seen that the Trident and the midfield are still relatively sluggish.
If Barcelona passed the game with a thrilling victory, Sevilla was equalized by Levante 1-1 at home, Valencia drew with Athletic Bilbao 0-0 at home, and Atletico Madrid lost to Real Sociedad away, which can be regarded as a loss of points.
Especially Atletico Madrid.
It is obvious that in long-term two-line or even three-line battles, the bench thickness of these teams is not strong enough, and the players are too tired, which leads to their poor condition and eventually lose points.
After this round, the La Liga was suspended and the national team match day was ushered in two weeks.
…………
…………
Since there is no national team competition task, for Yang Yang, the two-week national team competition, is more about taking vacations and maintaining shape. He still insists on training twice a day, but he takes a day off every three days to accompany his wife and son.
He either went out for a trip or was wandering around Madrid. He also took the time to take his family to Manchester, mainly to visit the Van Gaal and his wife, and to Liverpool to visit the Geralds.
But all this was done in a low-key manner and did not allow media reporters to be published in the newspaper.
While Yang Yang was enjoying the rest period comfortably, unfortunate news came from Italy.
In the European Cup qualifiers in Croatia's away challenge to Italy, Modric was injured after only 23 minutes.
According to the preliminary diagnosis of Croatian team doctors, Modric suffered a left leg muscle strain and is expected to be on standby for three to five weeks.
Real Madrid officially followed up with the report and immediately arranged for the team doctor to follow Modric's injury.
But just one night later, the official website of the Croatian Football Association announced that Modric was seriously injured and completely bid farewell to 2014, and he would have to be on standby for at least three months.
"After the MRI scan, we found that Modric had suffered a very serious muscle strain, and the muscles in his left leg were almost completely torn. The situation was very serious, but we did not intend to perform surgical treatment on him, but instead took a relatively more conservative approach to help him recover."
This immediately made Real Madrid extremely nervous. After Modric returned to Madrid, he arranged for him to conduct a detailed inspection as soon as possible, and the final results were consistent, which was expected to be three to four months.
According to FIFA regulations, because Modric was injured in participating in the national team competition, during his absence, Real Madrid will receive compensation from FIFA, which is expected to reach 1.6 million euros. However, for the wealthy Real Madrid, they don't care. What they care more about is Modric's injury.
In an interview with the media, Ancelotti vaguely accused the Croatian national team coaching staff of the training problems, and pointed out that Modric's injury hit Real Madrid a lot.
Yang Yang was in Madrid. After learning that Modric was injured and returned to Madrid, he also sent greetings as soon as possible and visited the hospital in person, encouraging him to overcome the disease and return as soon as possible.
Modric is quite open-minded. As a professional player, playing for Real Madrid is his professional ethics, but playing for the national team is his innate mission, but he is very confident that he can make a comeback.
As one of Real Madrid's best midfielders in the past two seasons, Modric's injury has also made the outside world worry about Real Madrid's prospects.
…………
…………
On the evening of November 22, in the 12th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Eibar away.
This is Modric's first game after being seriously injured. Before the opening, Real Madrid players specially displayed a T-shirt with a slogan of blessing Modric, hoping that the Croatian midfielder would recover from injury as soon as possible.
As many players participated in national team competitions, some even played two games, Ancelotti had to rotate, and all internationals who went to South America did not appear in the lineup.
Modric's injury instead qualifies Isco, while Di Maria and Jamez Rodriguez were replaced by De Bruyne, and Real Madrid had a large rotation.
In just twenty-three minutes, Yang Yang scored a beautiful man and entered the penalty area from the right rib. Hesse, who was in the middle, followed and shot but missed. The ball hit the opponent's defender and rebounded. Yang Yang followed and made a shot, opening the first record for Real Madrid.
One to zero!
Before the first half was about to end, in the 43rd minute, Carvajal made a beautiful two-pass and one-on-one cooperation with De Bruyne on the right, and crossed the bottom to the front of the penalty area. Yang Yang followed up and scored a point to the point, expanding the score for Real Madrid, 2-0.
After the second half of the game, Real Madrid continued to control the situation on the field and had an overwhelming advantage.
In the 69th minute, after Azpilicueta intercepted the ball in the frontcourt, Hazard dribbled the ball and broke through to the baseline and passed back. Hesse followed up and shot and made a volley, three to zero.
In the 83rd minute, Ebar centreback Albentosa competed with Yang Yang for the top while defending the right cross, but took the racket away with his hand. The referee caught him in a straight line, and was awarded a handball foul and gave him a yellow card and a penalty kick.
Yang Yang is Real Madrid's most popular penalty kicker, and his career penalty record is 100% hit, but this time, he gave up his penalty power and handed the ball to De Bruyne.
"This is an opportunity, Kevin, let the whole world see your opportunity!" Yang Yang grabbed his hand and encouraged.
De Bruyne also knew that this was Yang Yang's special care for him. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would not be his turn.
The Belgian nodded excitedly and came to the penalty spot with the football in his hand.
The opportunity Yang Yang mentioned is not just a penalty kick, but also Modric's injury.
When the opportunity arises, the key depends on whether De Bruyne can seize it himself.
De Bruyne finally calmly sent the penalty kick to help Real Madrid win 4-0 away, while Yang Yang scored two shots and passed one pass, which was very good. De Bruyne and Hesse scored one goal each.
The penalty kick was seized, but what about the vacuum in the midfield?
Chapter completed!
