As time entered 2018, as the winter break transfers began in full swing, major earthquakes were frequent in European football.

But in this arms race storm, Real Madrid did not move anyway and focused more on the game.

Due to Real Madrid's multi-line battle, Real Madrid will usher in twenty games in the next seventy days, with two real games every week without any spare time, which is definitely a big test for Real Madrid.

However, Real Madrid has long had sufficient experience with such intensive schedules. In the past few years, Real Madrid has always insisted on multi-line combat, which allows the team to be fully prepared to deal with the devil's schedule.

The only trouble is that the team's bench thickness this season has been significantly weaker, and many main players are over thirty years old and one year older, which adds more unknowns to Real Madrid.

On January 4th, in the fifth round of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid challenged Numancia away.

Real Madrid still plays away with substitutes and young players, and ultimately defeats Numancia three-to-zero away with goals from Mbappe, Isco and Mayoral.

After winning the opponent away, Real Madrid basically got the right to advance in advance.

On January 7, in the 18th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Vigo Celta away.

Due to the team's physical intensive training during the winter break, Real Madrid's condition was obviously not excited enough in this game, which led to the team's failure to play after the start of the game.

In the 33rd minute, Vigo Celta launched a counterattack, Aspas made a diagonal pass, and Gas shot from the edge of the penalty area to score.

But this goal also completely woke Real Madrid up.

Three minutes later, De Bruyne passed the ball and sent a straight pass. Yang Yang quickly counterattacked and successfully turned offside. He inserted into the penalty area and obtained the ball. He made a single shot and scored with his left foot low shot, successfully tied the score, one-to-one.

Two minutes later, Hazard made a diagonal pass from the right, and Yang Yang stepped forward again after the offside. He shot directly from the front of the small penalty area, breaking Vigo Celta's goal again, and Real Madrid reversed 2-1!

After the second half of the game, the confrontation was still very fierce.

In the 82nd minute, Gas made a cross from the right side of the penalty area, Real Madrid's defense line was missing, and unguarded Maxi Gomez headed the ball from the edge of the small penalty area, and tied the score again.

After conceding two goals in a row, Real Madrid's defense loosened.

Everyone can see that Real Madrid's overall strength this season has declined a lot compared to before.

Many players, including Modric, have seen obvious declines, even Yang Yang.

Yang Yang's goal count has dropped sharply this season. Before tonight, he only scored fourteen goals in La Liga, and his data is much worse than before.

But at the critical moment, Yang Yang is still trustworthy.

In the 90th minute, Casemiro sent a ball to the side. Mbappe, who came on the bench, forced a breakthrough on the right, threw away the defensive player and broke into the penalty area, volleyed vigorously, and was saved by goalkeeper Luwen.

Yang Yang, who was ambushing in front of the door, grabbed the landing point at the critical moment, and hit a push shot in front of the door, three to two!

In the end, Real Madrid reversed Vigo Celta three-to-two with Yang Yang's hat trick.

...

After the game, Real Madrid's chief and vice captain Ramos and Marcelo were both questioned by the media, and both scored the lowest score because they made frequent mistakes in this game and their performance was not ideal.

Many media believe that Real Madrid's defense is already at the age of metabolic.

Ramos is already 31 years old. Although he is still strong, his health is not as good as before. His mistakes are beginning to increase. What's more, he is not the kind of stable central defender. Marcelo and Xavi Martinez are both 30 years old after playing this season. With the sluggishness of the championship and honors in recent years, it is normal for him to become psychologically slack.

On the contrary, Fermuren, the 31-year-old Belgian central defender, performed stably on the court, but his age was there.

After the end of this season, four players will be over 30 years old, which is a very vigilant signal.

You should know that Real Madrid was known for the youngest average age in La Liga, and now it is gradually aging.

Many media are reminding Real Madrid that Barcelona’s lessons from the past are worth noting.

On January 11, in the fifth round of the Kings Cup, Real Madrid faced Numancia at home.

Mbappe started again, and the French young players scored twice in the 11th and 59th minutes respectively, helping Real Madrid draw Noumancia two-to-second home match.

In the end, Real Madrid successfully advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 5 to 2.

On the afternoon of January 13, in the 19th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Villarrel at home.

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid actively launched an offensive, and in the 13th minute, Yang Yang assisted Suarez to head the ball, but unfortunately, the referee ruled Suarez to offside and the goal was invalid.

But in the 21st minute, Yang Yang pierced through Villarrell's goal with a direct free kick 25 meters away.

After that, the two teams had offensive and defense against each other, and the problem of unstable defense on Real Madrid was once again exposed.

In the 30th minute, Suarez made a straight pass, and Yang Yang formed a single shot from the right side of the small penalty area. When facing the goalkeeper, he calmly shot and scored another goal for Real Madrid, 2-0.

Before the first half was approaching the end of the year, Real Madrid once again created an excellent opportunity with the personal abilities of the three superstars in the frontcourt.

Suarez passed the ball, Hazard dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area and passed it low in front of the goal. Yang Yang quickly threw away the defensive player and shot with one shot in front of the small penalty area, winning another goal for Real Madrid.

Another hat trick!

After the winter break, Yang Yang scored a hat trick in two consecutive games!

In an instant, the entire Bernabeu stadium was cheering for him.

After the second half of the game, Yang Yang and Real Madrid players also frequently created opportunities. Not only did he take action, he also created opportunities for his teammates, but both Suarez and Modric missed the opportunity.

Especially Modric, his condition this season has not been excited enough, and it is obvious that he is keeping his strength for the World Cup.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be guessed and no one can confirm it, but it is not surprising.

Real Madrid players have already achieved success at the club level, and they have lenient results in championships and honors. What they really pursue is on the World Cup stage.

What's more, every competition year, players should keep their efforts appropriately, which is also well-known.

...

After the game, several Real Madrid players, including Marcelo and Modric, were once again criticized by the media.

Despite the victory of the team, their performance was unsatisfactory.

Not only that, Catalonia's Daily Sports News also revealed that Real Madrid is studying plans and preparing to reorganize the team.

"Real Madrid hopes to create a brand new team without Yang Yang!"

Daily Sports Daily listed Real Madrid's plans, including Marcelo, Modric, and David Silva, all eight or nine players will be sent out of Real Madrid. Several young players in the team, Lorent, Ashraf, Mayoral and Vallejo, will all leave the team, and Asensio, Isco, Sebalos, Mbappe and other young players will become the cornerstones of the team's reorganization.

"In this plan, Yang Yang will no longer be an indispensable member!"

With the revelations from the Daily Sports News, it has caused heated discussions in the media and panic among fans in the outside world, and many people are surprised by this, especially for Yang Yang. Many Real Madrid fans have said that if the plan is true, the way the management treats Yang Yang is disappointing.

Many Real Madrid fans even pointed out that if Florentino treats the greatest star in the club's history in this way, they will call on Real Madrid members to defend Real Madrid's pride, expel Florentino, and retain Yang Yang!

When the team was unstable, Yang Yang stood up and said in an interview with the media that he had never heard of any plans for team restructuring. "I don't know where the news came from, but I have reason to suspect that this is the unity that some media want to split our team."

Yang Yang pointed out, "Every year during the winter break, we will experience a trough. This has been the case in the past few years. Our performance this season is not bad, and we are still chasing Barcelona tightly. Although it has indeed declined compared to before, we all have the confidence to reverse and reach the top."

Yang Yang also pointed out the problems of teammates such as Marcelo and Modric. "I have said many times that the players and the team's condition will fluctuate. This is normal. We cannot flatter when he performs well, and kill when he performs poorly. This is unfair to our players."

"The more we reach this point, the more we should give the players encouragement and support. I have always believed that Marcelo, Modric and other teammates are still the top stars in their positions, no doubt about it!"

Yang Yang does not deny the team's problems, "We did encounter some problems, but I believe we will get out of the predicament soon. Not only that, we will continue to show our competitiveness in La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League."

"Here, I also want to tell us the opponents of the present or future, you should pay attention, the most terrifying Real Madrid will return soon!"

Yang Yang's comments in the interview were quickly responded by Real Madrid. Marcelo publicly expressed his gratitude to Yang Yang in an interview with the media, promising that he would soon get back to his form.

"I am a man. I made mistakes. I will stand up and accept criticism and accusations. At the same time, I will quickly get back to my form and use my performance on the court to prove myself again!"

Modric also said that his performance this season is indeed not as good as before, but he will quickly change the outside world's impression of him.

After Yang Yang came forward, many media close to Real Madrid also fought back, believing that the Catalan media had made a big deal because Real Madrid would experience a downturn during the winter break every season.

"When I saw this report, people who didn't know thought Real Madrid had lost. In fact, we defeated Villarrel three-to-one, but no matter how we read the comments, it seemed like we lost."
