Real Madrid beat Valladolid five-2 at home, although it was once again questioned by the outside world, good news soon followed.

Barcelona, ​​who challenged Valencia away, failed to break through the Bats' defense line, and the two sides drew 0-0.

In this way, Real Madrid successfully recovered two points, only one point behind Barcelona.

Not only that, since Messi and Villa did not score in this round, Yang Yang scored twice again, leading the La Liga scorer list with eight goals, allowing the entire La Liga to see the lethality of the world's number one superstar.

This season, Yang Yang has scored eight goals and four assists. Whether it is the number of goals or assists, they are clearly at the level of Liverpool during their period, and even their overall performance is better than when they were at Liverpool.

You know, Yang Yang was absent for one round due to injury.

However, although the outside world expressed affirmation of Real Madrid's victory, many media were also worried about the hidden dangers exposed by the Galaxy Battleship, that is, the team's defense.

This is not the first time this season has happened. Real Madrid conceded two goals against Zurich or Valladolid, and both teams are obviously not strong teams.

In the strong dialogue, Real Madrid lost to Sevilla away one-two, which made many people worried about Real Madrid's defense.

Many people even questioned whether there was any problem with Benitez's deployment of troops?

Real Madrid Sports Director Bardano said in an interview with Ass later that the team is indeed lacking in balance.

"From several games this season, we have played very smoothly, but it is easy to get disconnected from the front and back. These are inevitable phenomena in the process of team restructuring and building. We need to change through hard training and accumulation, and hasteness is not achieved."

Bardano believes that Yang Yang's comeback has indeed brought improvements to Real Madrid's offensive ability.

"Yang Yang is a phenomenal superstar. We all hope that he will recover as soon as possible and return to the team. As it turns out, his return has indeed brought gratifying changes to the team's offense, but we must also realize that there are eleven players on the court, and the contribution of each player is worthy of recognition."

"In addition to Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic, Marcelo, Sneider and Raul all performed very well. Yang Yang is undoubtedly the best player, but this is also inseparable from the team's teamwork. I believe he understands this himself."

Head coach Benitez also publicly recognized Yang Yang's contribution and importance to the team at the post-match press conference, but he was also defending himself, believing that the problems exposed by Real Madrid are bound to be experienced in the process of team formation, which is inevitable for any team.

"What I want to say next is not just a justification, but to tell everyone that we are still a team under construction. We reorganized this summer and introduced eight players, including world-class stars such as Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic, Kaka and Xavi Alonso. It is not easy to integrate them together."

"Last season, we lost ten goals in the first seven rounds, and six goals this season. Everyone should note that last season Real Madrid was a relatively mature team that won the La Liga championship for two consecutive seasons."

Benitez said that the team's defense has improved significantly this season, which is inseparable from the efforts of the players and the improvement brought by several new players. However, it is unrealistic to create a world-class defense line in one go.

"I am full of confidence in the team. We will make progress in every week of training and games in the future. We will gradually change our defense and further improve our offensive level. I have always believed that Yang Yang still has huge potential to explore, as are superstars such as Ibrahimovic, Kaka and Robben."

Media reporters expressed some doubts about Benitez's remarks, believing that time would not wait for Real Madrid.

A month later, in the twelfth round of La Liga, Real Madrid will visit the Camp Nou Stadium. This will be the first century derby of the season and will also attract the attention of fans around the world. It may even change the trend of La Liga.

Everyone is very worried. With Real Madrid's current defensive state, how likely is it to win against Barcelona?

…………

…………

On the evening of October 21, the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.

In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid faced AC Milan at home.

Although this is a strong dialogue between the giants, no one is optimistic about AC Milan. This is not only because the overall strength of the Ross and Blacks is inferior to Real Madrid, but also because the visiting team has never defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

The prediction of this game, including Italian media, is that AC Milan will not lose too much away.

AC Milan head coach Leonardo also lined up in this game, adopting the three-middle midfielder style, Gattuso, Pirlo and Ambrosini lined up to form a solid protection at the forefront of the defense line.

On the back line, Zambrota, Nesta, Thiago Silva and Odo formed four defenders, and the goalkeeper was Dida.

The two front midfielders are composed of Ronaldinho and Pato, while the forward is Da Inzagi.

Real Madrid has a full lineup of main players, with goalkeepers Casillas, defense line Maxwell, Fermallen, Pepe and Ramos, midfielder double midfielder Mascherano and Xavi Alonso, Kaka is in the center, and in the front court there is a trident combination of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben.

Leonardo's idea in this game was very clear, and he made very clear judgments on both offense and defense.

On the defensive end, three back midfielders built a dike at the front of the penalty area. Once Real Madrid enters the 30-meter area, the three back midfielders will tighten immediately and protect them tightly in front of the defense line, leaving no gap for Real Madrid.

Gattuso cooperated with Odo to restrict Yang Yang on the left side, while Ambrosini on the other side cooperated with Zambrota to freeze Robben, not only to limit Real Madrid's in-width cutting, but also to break through the wing.

It was a Serie A team. AC Milan's defensive strategy worked very well. It was difficult for Real Madrid to create a threatening attack after the start of the game. In the first twenty minutes, there were even fewer shots that really broke into AC Milan's penalty area, and more were long shots.

The targeted tactics on the defensive end work, while the offensive end focuses on counterattack.

As AC Milan adopts a strategy of shrinking defense, Real Madrid must push forward when attacking, moving the defense forward, resulting in empty defense. The Ross and Blacks mainly hit behind when counterattacking. As long as Pirlo and Ronaldinho get the ball, they actively pass behind the defense, giving full play to the running position of Inzaghi and Pato's speed advantage.

The defense is tight and the counterattack is sharp. Although AC Milan's playing style makes the game dull, it works very well.

If it is a head-on impact, it is not easy for any team to break through the defense of Serie A team, let alone a giant club like AC Milan.

...

Yang Yang clearly realized from the beginning that he was the center of attention of AC Milan's defense.

Gattuso and Odo, the two Milan main defensive players, have followed him since the opening.

Obviously, Leonardo didn't want to give him a little space.

After nearly twenty minutes of the game, Yang Yang was isolated outside the penalty area except for a break-through on the left rib and was attacked by Thiago Silva and Nesta, and was rushed to the front and bottom, unable to hit the main part.

This is definitely not aimless.

Leonardo doesn't want him to enter AC Milan's penalty area, or even at the front of the penalty area.

Real Madrid had conducted many tests in the first twenty minutes, and failed to perform any results from breaking through the middle to the wing. AC Milan's defense line was indeed quite calm.

After realizing this, Yang Yang also began to change his role in the game on the court.

In the 23rd minute, Kaka got the ball in the middle and dribbled the ball to the left. Yang Yang supported him on the outside and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Kaka quickly divided the ball to the left. After Yang Yang stopped the ball, he dribbled the ball and headed towards Odo.

AC Milan's right back and Gattuso formed a horn, firmly limiting Yang Yang. Since Yang Yang was already standing near the penalty area line, they restricted Yang Yang's incision.

Everyone knows that the area on the left side of the arc top area in the front of the penalty area is nicknamed by the media and fans as the Yangyang area.

Yang Yang knew this clearly in his heart, so after stopping the ball, he did not think about cutting inward, but instead approached Odo and Gattuso, not giving AC Milan's defensive players any chance to observe the surrounding situation.

Facing Yang Yang, any defensive player is facing a big enemy, for fear that he will be thrown away by Yang Yang inadvertently, and Gattuso and Odo have not suffered a great loss from Yang Yang.

With the experience of the past, neither of them dared to be careless at all, and their attention was all on Yang Yang.

But just as Yang Yang was about to drive the ball to start, he suddenly passed the ball to Odo's right and passed it to the bottom line.

This sudden change scared Odo and Gattuso. Then he saw a figure piercing at high speed sweeping past Yang Yang, and at the same time, he crossed Odo and caught up with the ball in front of the bottom line.

Maxwell!

Damn it!

Odo was shocked and turned around and chased after him. He regretted that he should have guessed Yang Yang's intention long ago, and deliberately slowed down the pace and dribbled the ball closer. The purpose was to delay time and buy time for Maxwell.

But when Odo turned around and wanted to catch up, Maxwell had already caught up with the ball in front of the bottom line and passed it to the back point with his left foot.

Ibrahimovic was very strong and rushed all the way from the penalty spot, as if it was a heavy tank starting at full speed, blocking Nesta with his back, and in front of him beat Thiago Silva, heading the ball at the front of the small penalty area, and pushing the cross from Maxwell into AC Milan's goal from close range.

Although Nesta behind him fell to the ground and Thiago Silva in front of him signaled that Ibrahimovic would interfere with his jumping, the referee still scored a penalty and scored a goal.
Chapter completed!
