On the evening of December 5, the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.

In the 13th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Almeria at home.

This showdown was destined to be full of drama since the beginning of the game, and its fun is even comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster.

When the referee brought two teams of players into the stadium, the broadcaster at the Bernabeu stadium habitually read Kaka's name when introducing Real Madrid players, which surprised more than 80,000 fans in the stadium.

Didn’t Kaka have had the surgery before?

Why can you still play tonight?

The broadcaster quickly corrected his mistake, apologized on the spot, and said that he had a grammatical disease. Tonight, the Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneider, who will replace Kaka in the front midfielder.

The live TV camera also gave Sneijder a close-up. The unlucky Dutch shook his head depressedly, looking very innocent and helpless, and his teammates around him were funny. Ibrahimovic even reached out to touch his head.

Goalkeeper Casillas, with Marcelo, Fermall, Pepe and Ramos in the back line, Mascherano and Xavi Alonso on both backs, Sneijder in the center, and Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben in the frontcourt.

Compared to the away challenge to Barcelona a week ago, Kaka was turned into Sneijder in the midfield position.

As if affected by this comedy mistake before the game, Sneijder held his breath. Just two minutes into the game, he scored a long shot. After being saved by Almeria goalkeeper Diego Alves, Robben's shot, which followed up and made a follow-up shot, hit the goalkeeper.

Real Madrid completely controlled the ball at the beginning and launched frequent offensives.

A minute later, Yang Yang kicked the door, but failed to create a threat.

Then Robben got a chance in the penalty area and kicked again, but still failed to score.

After the opening, Real Madrid performed very actively, controlling the game scene and rhythm, while Almeria retreated across the board, and there was a panic in front of the goal. It seemed that it was just a matter of time to break the goal by Real Madrid.

Real Madrid began to create opportunities again and again, but missed them again and again, as if the team's shooting luck was exhausted in the game at Camp Nou. The team was in very good shape, but they were unable to score goals at all.

In the 20th minute, Xavi Alonso realized the problem and immediately slowed down the pace on the field. Real Madrid began to organize and sort out patiently, especially in the last pass.

But even so, Real Madrid still has the advantage and frequently gains chances to make a move.

Until the 31st minute, Yang Yang received a pass from Marcelo on the left, made a cross from the outside of the left corner of the penalty area, trying to send the ball into the penalty area to find Ibrahimovic, but was headed by Almeria's central defender.

The ball flew to the outside of the penalty area, and after Sneid got the ball, he moved to the left again.

Yang Yang stopped the ball to the middle, caught up, looked at the right side of the penalty area, and passed the ball with his right foot diagonally behind the goal.

Ramos, who was inserted at high speed, suddenly rushed into the penalty area, rushed to the top before everyone, and directly pushed the ball into Almeria's goal, opening the first record for Real Madrid.

One to zero!

Afterwards, although Real Madrid continued to have the advantage and continued to chase and fight, they never scored again.

Almeria's defense is indeed well organized, but Real Madrid's offense is almost intriguing.

But the situation suddenly changed in the second half.

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid still had a firm foothold and Almeria, who had been unable to retreat throughout the first half, suddenly seized an opportunity to make a strong attack. First, he crossed from the left and changed direction, and Soriano shot near the penalty point, then hit Fermulen and rebounded into the goal.

One to one, it’s tied!

The referee signaled that this was Soriano's goal, but it was not Fermuren's own goal.

But just when everyone was still struggling with the penalty, Almeria took a corner kick. This time, Real Madrid lost someone in the defense line. Ramos failed to keep an eye on Uche in time. He was caught by the opponent and shot it again.

The hero who opened the first record for Real Madrid in the first half made two consecutive mistakes at the beginning of the second half. In just three minutes, Real Madrid went from one goal to one-two behind.

The dramatic start caused an uproar in the entire Bernabeu.

All the fans began to wonder what was going on with Real Madrid tonight?

Why did he never break through Almeria's goal at Camp Nou?

As time passed, sixty minutes later, Real Madrid took the lead in making substitution adjustments.

Captain Raul replaced Mascherano and rushed to the front, partnering with Ibrahimovic on the front line.

This is a very obvious signal to strengthen the team's offense.

Real Madrid then launched consecutive offensives, but never scored.

Until the 73rd minute, Yang Yang cooperated with Marcelo on the left and stuffed the ball to the bottom line. Marcelo followed up and crossed the ball to the penalty area with his left foot, creating a mistake from Almeria's defender. Robben followed up and shot a low shot from the back, making 2-2.

Then Real Madrid continued to put pressure on and launched an offensive. Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Raul also performed very hard, constantly looking for opportunities on the court.

In the 81st minute, Yang Yang suddenly appeared on the right side, received Robben's straight pass, used his personal speed to force the ball, and sent the ball in front of the goal in the right corner of the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic followed and shot vigorously, wishing he could shoot the ball through Almeria's net with one kick.

The shot once again penetrated Almeria's goal and reversed the opponent for Real Madrid.

Three to two!

Just three minutes later, Robben dribbled the ball from the right and cut in, forcibly broke into the penalty area and passed across. Yang Yang ran out of the gap and pushed the ball without defending, expanding the score again, four to two!

The score was finally maintained to the end of the game.

Real Madrid narrowly defeated Almeria four-two with Yang Yang's two passes and one shot, and Ibrahimovic, Ramos and Robben's goals.

But in the locker room after the game, Benitez was furious and was extremely dissatisfied with the team's defense.

Although everyone knows that Real Madrid's defense has always been problematic since the season, and Ramos, Pepe and Fermall are not stable enough, Metzeld is also not much better. Real Madrid's defense line needs to stabilize as soon as possible.

Originally, when the team defeated Barcelona by 5-0 away, the combination of Ramos, Pepe and Fermuren made people feel confident, but the game against Almeria was exposed again.

Benitez even told the players in the locker room, "With our fragile defense, we can't pass the quarterfinals in any case!"

The implication is very clear. If you want to break the embarrassing nickname of Champions League Sixteen for many years, Real Madrid must focus on defense and find a way to stabilize defense based on existing players.

This is also a concern from the outside world about Real Madrid.

The offense is strong enough, but the defense is too uneasy.

…………

…………

After the 13th round of La Liga, Yang Yang set off to Paris to receive the prize, but he did not return to Madrid, but went directly from Paris to Marseille to meet the team.

This is the last game of the Champions League group stage, and it is also the battle for Marseille and AC Milan's top group.

Due to the unsatisfactory performance in the five rounds of the group stage, AC Milan is currently in a very awkward situation in the group, only one point ahead of Marseille, the third in the group, which can be said to be extremely dangerous.

Yang Yang, who just won the third European Golden Ball Award in Paris, France, appeared in this game and was booed by Marseille fans. They were obviously very dissatisfied with Yang Yang.

But the louder the boo from the opponent, the better Yang Yang's condition will be.

Just five minutes into the game, Yang Yang broke through the Marseille goal with a direct free kick 28 meters away.

Yang Yang then hit the post and failed to further expand the score.

But in the eleventh minute, Marseille tenaciously formed a breakthrough from Ramos' side and successfully equalized the score.

Until the 27th minute, Yang Yang volleyed and surpassed the score again.

After the second half of the game, Yang Yang was replaced by Higuain not long after.

In the 80th minute, Real Madrid took advantage of a corner kick opportunity and Fermall scored a header, further expanding the score.

Three to one, Real Madrid finally defeated Marseille away.

...

Real Madrid defeated Marseille 3-1 away. New European Golden Ball winner Yang Yang scored twice, but the happiest one was not Real Madrid fans, but AC Milan.

Before the game, the Ross and Blacks were only one point away from Marseille, while AC Milan performed very badly in the away game against Zurich. She first fell behind with one goal, but then even though she stubbornly equalized the score, she never reversed.

Fortunately, Real Madrid defeated Marseille 3-1 away, which was equivalent to helping AC Milan get the second place in the group. After the game, many French media even believed that Real Madrid was intending to help AC Milan advance.

But Benitez denied this because Real Madrid did not do their best.

As for Yang Yang, it is more because he just won the European Golden Globe Award in Paris.

"This award has brought him a huge motivation, and he wants it, and I have no reason to refuse."

...

Sure enough, Real Madrid then won two games before Christmas.

First, when he was equalized by Valencia twice away, he finally stubbornly surpassed the score and defeated Valencia 3-2 away.

Although Yang Yang did not score in this game, he still performed very well and planned two goals.

A week later, Real Madrid welcomed Zaragoza at home.
Chapter completed!
