On the evening of January 24, in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Kings Cup, Real Madrid faced Leganes at the Bernabeu.

When the game reached the 77th minute, Real Madrid made its last substitution.

Yang Yang replaced Isco.

When Real Madrid fans saw Yang Yang standing on the sidelines, everyone stood up at the same time, giving him a lasting and warm applause.

At this time, the score on the field was one-to-two. After the home team Real Madrid equalized the score, they made a corner kick defense error and were scored by the opponent. After 20 minutes, they were unable to score again.

Over the Bernabeu Stadium, more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans were shouting at Yang Yang.

The shouts in the sky seemed to be trembling at the stadium.

Yang Yang stood on the sidelines, hugged Isco who was leaving the field, and stepped into the court with his foot.

With a quick step, Yang Yang quickly sprinted forward, as if he was moving his legs, then raised his hands and applauded his teammates in the field and the fans in the stands.

"Yang Yang finally came on as a substitute."

"Real Madrid's two substitutions were strengthening their offenses, respectively, replaced the poor young player Ashraf with Carvajal, and then replaced Kante with Modric. They both wanted to break the deadlock on the court, but they didn't work."

"Zidane finally used his ultimate skill and replaced Yang Yang."

"Real Madrid fans are also full of expectations for Yang Yang, but I don't know if he can save the team from danger again tonight."

...

"It's still Real Madrid's attack."

"Passed to the front of the penalty area, Yang Yang made the ball, passed it into the penalty area, and handed it to Suarez."

"Suarez shot directly!"

"It was saved by the goalkeeper, but the ball did not fly far and was still outside the penalty area."

"De Bruyne passed the ball to the right and handed it to Mbappe."

"Mbappe went down to the bottom line and then passed back to the middle of the penalty area..."

"Come in front of Yangyang Gate..."

"Have a chance!"

"The ball is in!!!"

"Actually, the goal was scored!!!"

"Yang Yang! It's Yang Yang!!!"

"At the critical moment, it was Yang Yang's goal again!"

"He really scored a goal!!!"

"At the critical moment, he did not disappoint Real Madrid fans who supported him."

"Very smart, very smart!"

"Yang Yang easily ran in front of the goal and sent Mbappe's cross-pass into Leganes' goal."

"Many people say that Yang Yang's goals in the past two years have looked so mediocre, not as dazzling as his peak, neither long-distance raids nor performances of several people, and even the explosive power on the court."

"Yes, we must note that Yang Yang is already 31 years old. Although he has been training for many years and even constantly reducing his own weight, he still can't stop time."

"But from the goal just now, we can see that Yang Yang's running position is still so unpredictable."

"Why did Real Madrid get so many opportunities in the past eighty minutes, but Suarez and Mbappe frequently missed opportunities and failed to convert the opportunity into goals, but Yang Yang can seize such a seemingly ordinary opportunity and score a goal for Real Madrid?"

"This is Yang Yang's ability, and it is also the most valuable contribution that Yang Yang can bring to Real Madrid!"

...

With Yang Yang's goal, Real Madrid finally drew Leganes 2-2 at home, and finally advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 3-2.

After the game, although he only played for ten minutes on the bench, Yang Yang got two chances to kick the ball in the penalty area, scoring one goal, and another shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, which was unanimously appreciated by the media and fans.

Many media believe that Real Madrid's performance was indeed poor after a large rotation, which is different from the previous performance of Real Madrid's continuous multi-line battles but still performing very dominant.

"It's obvious that Real Madrid is sliding down from the peak throne, and Yang Yang's goal has stepped on the brakes for Real Madrid in the landslide."

After the draw, Real Madrid's opponent in the semi-finals was Sevilla, who first joined the home and then away.

Another match in the semi-finals is Barcelona vs. Valencia, and the first leg of the two sides will also be held at Camp Nou.

On the weekend, in the 21st round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Valencia away.

Just seven minutes into the game, Real Madrid directly passed the ball behind him from the outside of the 30-meter area and directly sent the ball into Valencia's penalty area. Goalkeeper Neto attacked, but they collided with the central defender Gare who was returning to defense.

Yang Yang, who was pressing step by step, picked up a big advantage from the side, and directly shot with a volley, sending the ball into Valencia's goal, opening the first record for Real Madrid.

In the 31st minute, Tony Cross made a pass from behind the outside of the penalty area. Yang Yang threw away the defensive player and inserted it. He directly volleyed in the upper left corner of the small penalty area, sending the ball into Valencia's goal again, 2-0!

After scoring two goals in a row, Real Madrid played more oppressively.

Although Valencia scored a game in the 58th minute of the second half, Marcelo and Tony Cross won two consecutive games for Real Madrid in the 84th and 89th minute, and finally helped Real Madrid defeat Valencia four-one away.

Yang Yang, who scored twice, was elected as the best player in the game, which is also his 25th La Liga goal this season.

...

Barcelona faces Alaves at home in this round and plays very dangerously.

With a possession rate of 78%, Barcelona has been behind for more than 70 minutes in the first 70 minutes, followed by Iniesta assisting Cristiano Ronaldo to score a game, and Messi reversed the opponent for Barcelona in the 84th minute.

Although he ended up scoring three points dangerously, the game was still terrifying.

After Yang Yang finished Valencia away, he took the initiative to mention Barcelona's game in an interview with the media. He smiled and said that he saw a Barcelona team that was gradually showing signs of fatigue.

"We have conducted a large-scale rotation in the Copa del Rey, coupled with the winter break training, which has made our physical reserves better. And in January, I have seen Barcelona gradually showing fatigue, which is our opportunity."

"My teammates and I are full of confidence. We will continue to chase forward next time. I hope our opponents don't fall behind too early!"

Then, Yang Yang said confidently, "We have another round of make-up matches at the end of February, but I believe we don't need to wait for that game at all. Soon, we will be at the top of the La Liga standings!"

Since the beginning of the season, Real Madrid has been behind Barcelona. Now they are rushing to catch up, but they are still three points behind.

Due to one round less, these three-pointers are not fatal, but according to Yang Yang and Zidane's analysis, it is best to surpass Barcelona before the Champions League rekindles the situation, so that the team's game pressure will be less.

If the Champions League knockout stage starts, the team still has to fight against Barcelona in the league, which is undoubtedly a huge pressure.

Whether it is actively mentioning Barcelona or stimulating teammates such as Marcelo and Modric before, Yang Yang has only one goal, that is, to let Real Madrid players regain their form and surpass Barcelona in the standings as soon as possible.

…………

In the middle of the week, the first leg of the King's Cup semi-finals.

Real Madrid still plays in Sevilla in a half-rotary lineup, but Yang Yang volunteers to appear.

In the 14th minute of the first half, it was planned by Yang Yang, and Hazard assisted Suarez to score a goal.

In the 31st minute, Yang Yang won another game and helped Real Madrid lead 2-0.

In the 40th minute, Yang Yang assisted Suarez to capture a goal, allowing the team to enter the halftime break with a three-to-zero lead.

After the second half of the game, Yang Yang scored twice in the 52nd minute and was replaced.

Hazard scored a penalty in the 69th minute.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla five-0 at home, almost to say that they reached the King's Cup final early.

Yang Yang shot two shots and passed one pass, and was once again elected as the best player in the game.

…………

…………

On the weekend, in the 22nd round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Levante away.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Yang Yang suddenly shot and was pushed out of the crossbar by the goalkeeper.

Real Madrid quickly took a corner kick, and Ramos headed the ball, opening the first record for Real Madrid.

At the beginning of the second half, Carvajal made a cross from the right, and Yang Yang shot again from the front of the small penalty area, piercing through Levante's goal, laying the victory for Real Madrid, 2-0.

In the 81st minute, it was Kavajal's diagonal pass again. Mbappe, who was substituting Yang Yang, hit the ball back in front of the baseline on the right. Isco calmly stopped the ball and made a shot, expanding the score for Real Madrid.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Levante three to zero away.

...

The next day, Barcelona challenged Espanyol away and staged a city derby.

The game was held in heavy rain, and Barcelona sent all their main players, and the tridents of Coutinho, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi were arranged in the frontcourt, and the midfield was a combination of Iniesta, Busquets and Paulinho.

The whole game was played under Barcelona's control. The away team's ball possession rate once again exceeded 70%, reaching 74%, but in the 66th minute, Ter Stegen made a big kick-off mistake and was cut off by the opponent and counterattacked.

Barcelona then launched a crazy counterattack, until the 82nd minute, Messi took a corner kick, and Pique headed the ball in front of the small penalty area, equalizing the score for Barcelona.

In the end, the two teams shook hands one-to-one to make peace.

After the end of the battle, Catalan media pointed the artillery fire at Digne and Semedo, who performed poorly, believing that the lack of attack power on both sides was the reason why the team could not defeat Espanyol.

Due to this draw, Barcelona missed two points, and the gap between the points and Real Madrid narrowed to one point.

But you know, Real Madrid still plays one less game than Barcelona.

This made the Catalan media very dissatisfied, believing that Valverde's team should work harder.

"This is the best opportunity in the past few years. After the 22nd round of the game, we are still ahead of Real Madrid. We should keep this lead until the end of the season!"

But media close to Real Madrid such as Marca and Ass were cheering, all of whom Yang Yang had a role in his psychological battle against Barcelona. The team was too tired and was losing points.

On the other hand, after entering February, it will soon usher in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Neymar, who transferred from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain last summer, challenged Real Madrid, with the target directly aiming at Yang Yang.
