On the evening of March 10, at 20:45, the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.

Yang Yang was wearing a white Real Madrid jersey and stood on the left side of the center circle. Opposite him was teammate Ibrahimovic.

There was a UEFA Champions League ball sponsored by Adidas in the middle of the two.

The Swedish center went over and Robben was Robben, and beside the two, Real Madrid was standing in the direction of the half-time.

Xavi Alonso and Mascherano form a double midfielder, followed by Marcelo, Fermallen, Ramos and Aveloa, and finally goalkeeper Casillas in front of the goal.

This is Real Madrid's main lineup in recent times.

Almost the same lineup was in this stadium three days ago, and it was also in this stadium, reversing Sevilla 6-1.

There is no feeling when you only look at the score, and you even see Real Madrid's possession rate of 65.4%. However, in this game, Real Madrid's shots reached 35 times, reaching the highest since the season.

Even looking at the past few seasons, the game against Sevilla was the highest number of shots.

Thirty-five shots, eighteen shots, and six goals. This conversion rate is excellent enough, and it also proves that Real Madrid's current operation is becoming smoother and smoother, and the organization of the midfield and backcourt is also becoming better and better.

Sneider regained his best form and became the team's best passer. Xavi Alonso was in charge of the organization, Mascherano was in charge of defense, and Real Madrid's midfield achieved the offensive and defensive balance that Benitez had high hopes.

But if the team's offense is just excellent, it's no big deal, because after the winter break, Real Madrid's performance is better, especially in recent rounds, the team's offensive has gone faster and stronger. No one in the world will question Real Madrid's offensive firepower.

But in this game against Sevilla, what really makes people see improvement comes from the team's defense.

In the game for more than 90 minutes, Sevilla had only two shots, and none of them shot directly to the goal. The only goal came from Xavi Alonso's own goal.

Sevilla's performance in recent years is also very impressive. It is second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona in the La Liga, and is even slightly better than Valencia. Its attack firepower is also very strong, and it is known as the third-strongest team in La Liga offensive ability.

But such an opponent was forced to shoot with only two shots at his home court, and he didn't even have the chance to shoot one goal at the goal. It can be seen how much defensive pressure Real Madrid puts on their opponents in the whole game.

This data received unanimous praise from all media and professionals after the game. Everyone believed that Real Madrid's performance in this game was impressive and created a good atmosphere for the next Champions League match.

Benitez continued to use the lineup of Sevilla in the last round in this game, and it was obvious that he wanted to continue the team's previous good form, continue to oppress Lyon at his home court, successfully advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and achieve his first breakthrough in six years.

...

With the whistle of Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli, the focus battle officially kicked off amid the cheers of the Bernabeu.

Ibrahimovic took the lead in kicking the ball to Yang Yang. Yang Yang turned around and passed it back immediately, crossed Sneijder and passed it directly to Xavi Alonso.

Lyon's forward Benzema pressed step by step and quickly approached Xavi Alonso.

The Spanish midfielder transferred the ball to the left and handed it to Marcelo.

Marcelo dribbled forward and tried to make a breakthrough from the left, but the Lyon players stood in front of him, forcing him to pass it across to Mascherano and hand it over to the midfield to reorganize.

The ball fell back and forth in Real Madrid's back and forth several times, and came to Xavi Alonso again. The Spanish midfielder made a diagonal pass and sent it directly to the frontcourt.

Ibrahimovic retreated, stopped the ball with his back, and passed it back to Sneijder who was quickly forward.

As soon as the Dutch midfielder received the ball, before he could get over, Lyon's midfielder Tulalang suddenly rushed up and drew the ball to the ground, giving Real Madrid a direct free kick opportunity in the 30-meter area of ​​the frontcourt.

The distance was exactly 30 meters, and the position was in the middle, Yang Yang walked to the free throw point without hesitation.

Seeing him, cheers rang out in the entire Bernabeu Stadium again.

Yang Yang was unmoved. After setting the ball, he slowly retreated.

...

"This ball is here!"

In the stands of the Real Madrid president, Zidane sat beside Florentino and smiled at the Real Madrid president.

"So sure?" Florentino was also very happy.

Soon, the Real Madrid chairman remembered the news that the media reported not long ago, saying that Zidane played a free kick with Yang Yang after training, but was defeated by Yang Yang.

"At this position, within 35 meters, Yang Yang's hit rate is very high and very stable." Zidane said confidently.

Florentino nodded constantly, "You can't be careless, after all, Lyon's human wall is not a dead object on the training ground."

Bardano on the other side laughed, "I agree with Zinedin's statement, I bet on Yang Yang."

Both of his right-hand men supported Yang Yang, and Florentino really didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

In fact, he also hopes that Yang Yang can score a goal.

This goal is equivalent to a nightmare for Lyon.

By then, it will be difficult for Pierre's team to not suppress the attack.

...

Not only did the VIPs in the stands of Real Madrid understand this truth, but the audience inside and outside the stadium and in front of the TV also knew how to analyze the situation. They also knew clearly that if this free kick was entered, it would really help Real Madrid open the gate to the quarterfinals with one kick.

This is a goal scored in one minute of the game!

Why doesn’t Yang Yang himself know?

But he was still the same as usual, with his eyes closed, adjusting his breathing and emotions, and then slowly opened his eyes, looking at the wall in front of him, estimating their heights and the heights they might jump up in a while.

Italian referee Rizzoli set up the wall and slowly retreated, blew a whistle that could free throws.

Yang Yang took a deep breath and quickly helped him forward.

Lyon goalkeeper Loris stared at the front with a serious face, and he could clearly see Yang Yang's every move.

When he heard the dull sound of the free throw, his attention fell on the wall. When he saw the ball quickly bypassing the wall and heading towards the goal, the French goalkeeper immediately judged the ball.

Right side?

No, left!

After just moving one step to the right, Loris quickly judged the trend of the ball, moved quickly to the left, and rushed out.

He is the left-footed player, and his left hand is his usual hand. He directly poked out his left hand and tried to block the ball directly.

But just after he rushed out, he found that the ball suddenly fell in mid-air.

This sudden change made him feel like he fell into an ice cellar. His flexible left hand tried to slid down, but it was still unreachable.

The ball drilled into the goal of Lyon from Loris's men.

One to zero!

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"

"It's another direct free kick!"

"Yang Yang!"

"Just just one minute of the game, Yang Yang scored the first record for Real Madrid with a direct free kick!"

"Oh my God, his free kick was very tricky, almost hitting the post and hitting the goal. Although Loris judged the direction, the ball had obvious changes in the air, and in the end, the goalkeeper Lyon was still far from reach."

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he clenched his fists in excitement and waved them into the air.

Real Madrid players soon rushed from all directions, surrounding him in the middle, and everyone walked forward to celebrate Yang Yang's goal.

All the fans of the Bernabeu were also shouting Yang Yang's name at the top of their lungs.

hero!

This is their hero!

At the critical moment, Yang Yang stood up again and again, and scored key goals for the team again and again. Such a player is not a hero, so who else is?

"Yang Yang's free kick accomplishment can be said to be superb. I believe that if Lyon's original midfielder Juninho was still there at this moment, there would be a battle between the two free kick masters."

"But now, although Lyon's midfield has Pjanic, a free kick player who replaces Juninho, Yang Yang on Real Madrid is obviously better. He has scored consecutive free kicks."

"It's obvious that Lyon should regret his mistakes, because they shouldn't give Real Madrid a direct free kick opportunity with such a good position."

After celebrating with his teammates, Yang Yang turned around and cheered at the fans from all directions.

The entire stadium was shouting his name, like a tsunami, sweeping across the entire Bernabeu Stadium.

And Yang Yang is the focus of everyone's attention.

It was also at this moment that everyone really saw the quarterfinals!

...

The fans in the stands cheered, and Florentino in the stands and the VIPs in the Real Madrid were also celebrating happily.

The happiest thing is Florentino.

At his home court, the Real Madrid president didn't need to hide his joy and excitement when his team scored. He couldn't help but stand up from his seat, applauded Yang Yang in the stadium, and then sat back.

"As you said, this ball is here!" Florentino laughed.

Yang Yang's goal is equivalent to his honor. He was naturally very happy when he put a gold on his face.

More importantly, this goal opened the door to victory for the team and opened the door to the quarterfinals.

This is something that everyone in Real Madrid has been looking forward to over the past six years, but it is something that the Galaxy Battleships Phase I and Calderon and others cannot achieve.

In the past six years, Real Madrid fans have been rejected by the Champions League quarterfinals. How disappointed they are, then at this moment, they will be as excited and excited as they are.

Florentino even developed ambition, turned his head and nodded to Zidane beside him, saying: "If we can maintain our current state, not only the quarterfinals, but I feel that the tenth Champions League is not far away."

Zidane and Valdano also nodded repeatedly.

Isn't it?
Chapter completed!
