On the evening of April 20, the Mestani Stadium in Valencia, Spain.

In the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid plays against Barcelona.

When the game reached the 36th minute, Real Madrid intercepted the ball within 30 meters. After Kaka took the lead, he immediately led the ball forward, broke free from Xavi's entanglement, and in the middle circle arc area, he passed the ball straight to Yang Yang's feet.

Yang Yang quickly stepped behind Alves, then took the ball and took a big step forward, competing with Puyol and Pique who were returning to defense, dribbling the ball and running wildly, heading straight to Barcelona's penalty area.

...

"Real Madrid's quick counterattack."

"Yang Yang dribbled the ball very fast, but Puyol and Pique's pursuit was not slow either."

"The long-distance raided to the outside of the penalty area, and Yang Yang suddenly stopped urgently... and started again..."

...

After a simple emergency stop, it suddenly started, and threw Puyol away with speed, and brought the ball into the penalty area. Yang Yang quickly chased after it. Before goalkeeper Valdes attacked, he caught up with the football and pushed the ball at a small angle on the inside of his left foot, sending the ball over to Valdes' side.

Valdes reacted and tried to intercept the ball, but he was still a beat slower.

The ball passed through the gap between the Barcelona goalkeeper and the left post and rolled into the goal.

...

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"

"In the 36th minute, Real Madrid scored first, one to zero!"

"The goal from Yang Yang is another goal!"

"He is simply the nemesis of Barcelona. He can score goals almost every time he faces Barcelona."

"And just three days ago at the Bernabeu Stadium, Yang Yang scored twice to help Real Madrid defeat Barcelona 2-0."

"I didn't expect that now, it was Yang Yang's goal again, helping Real Madrid take the lead."

"The current situation is quite unfavorable for Guardiola's Barcelona."

"Since the game started tonight, Barcelona has been very passive. Although they have possession of the ball, they have never been able to create opportunities. Instead, Real Madrid has counterattacked again and again and again tore open Barcelona's defense line."

"Just ten minutes ago, Ibrahimovic made the ball, and Robben and Yang Yang made a quick counterattack. Robben made a cross from the right, and Yang Yang headed the ball from close range, but was saved by Valdes and hit the post and failed to score. At that time, we were saying that Barcelona's condition in the first half was very unsatisfactory."

"Now, Real Madrid has scored a goal."

"In the whole first half, Barcelona seemed to have the initiative and had the ball possession, but in fact, they were far inferior to Real Madrid in terms of creating threats. Yang Yang's goal gave Real Madrid the lead and was also a punishment for Barcelona's poor form in the first half."

...

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he was so excited that he wanted to rush out of the stadium, but soon he suddenly remembered something, turned around and rushed towards the goal, snatched the football out of the goal again, stuffed it directly into his arms, and ran all the way.

Half of Real Madrid fans at Mestani Stadium tonight were shouting Yang Yang's name wildly.

Yang Yang quickly rushed to the sidelines, rushed to the bottom of the Real Madrid fans' stands, and opened his arms towards them.

He felt the tsunami from the stands, he felt the enthusiasm from the fans, and he enjoyed it all!

Ibrahimovic, Robben, Kaka, Xavi Alonso...

Real Madrid players rushed towards Yang Yang one after another, all celebrating the goal. Ramos jumped directly to Yang Yang's back and shouted on his head, as if he had already won the championship in advance.

This is a goal that should have arrived long ago.

As early as just two minutes into the opening game, Real Madrid had a quick counterattack, and Puyol fouled Yang Yang in the penalty area, but the referee did not make any statement.

From the 12th minute, Yang Yang led Real Madrid's attack, threatening Barcelona's penalty area and goal again and again. Yang Yang alone fell into the offside trap many times in a row, and then successfully counter-offside, dribbling into the penalty area and passing it across to Ibrahimovic in the middle, but the Swedish center missed the empty goal.

This is Ibrahimovic!

He was disdainful to score goals like empty goal without any technical content.

Then Real Madrid created consecutive threats. Yang Yang had another header and was saved by Valdes on the post. That was definitely luck to save Barcelona. Otherwise, Real Madrid would have scored a goal long ago.

Continuous offense and continuous threats finally scored a goal in the 36th minute.

…………

After seeing Yang Yang running for fifty meters a long distance, Benitez pushed the ball into the goal at a small angle, and he was so excited that he jumped up on the spot, shouting and celebrating.

In this game, he fulfilled Guardiola's wish, which was to take the initiative from the beginning.

Real Madrid lineups of 4231, with goalkeeper Casillas, Maxwell, Pepe, Ramos and Macon on the back, and Javier Martinez and Xavi Alonso behind the midfield, Yang Yang, Kaka and Robben in the frontcourt, and Ibrahimovic playing single striker.

Although he was a double midfielder, Real Madrid still defended very closely. He did not give Barcelona many opportunities. Instead, he created offensive opportunities in the first half. Kaka also performed very well, giving off offensive opportunities to his teammates in the frontcourt again and again.

Barcelona's performance in the first half was not ideal. They looked a little tired and were not in shape, so they were suppressed by Real Madrid after the opening, which was within Benitez's expectations, because he deliberately made arrangements in the game three days ago.

If any fans watching that century derby will definitely find that the pace of that game is played faster.

Everyone knows that fast pace consumes more players.

Benitez is fighting with Guardiola for consumption, and the facts have proved that Barcelona's condition is indeed not ideal tonight. At least they are very slow to enter. Until now, they have not fully controlled the situation and the offense is also organized in a disorderly manner.

All of this was within Benitez's expectations.

And now, the most important thing is to try to score one more goal.

When Benitez saw the Real Madrid player rushing to the sidelines to celebrate the goal for Yang Yang, he applauded vigorously, shouted loudly, signaling them to continue to cheer, continue to work hard, and strive to score another goal.

Two to zero, this game is sure to win.

But Barcelona is not a fuel-efficient lamp to sweep Europa. How could Guardiola not understand all this?

…………

…………

After Yang Yang scored a goal for Real Madrid, the game started again. Real Madrid tried to continue to strengthen the offensive, but Barcelona obviously played more conservatively, and the overall defense line also retreated to its own half. Guardiola even called out to Alves, signaling him to go back to defend and not to intervene blindly.

Alves, who returned to defense, in the 41st minute, when Yang Yang dribbled the ball and had already thrown away Puyol, he blocked Yang Yang's kick from the bottom line, and the subsequent corner kick failed to create a threat.

In the end, Real Madrid took the lead by 1-0 with Yang Yang's goal in the first half.

Benitez won the game and gave Real Madrid an advantage in the first half, but failed to expand the results.

After the second half of the game, Barcelona decisively made efforts.

I don’t know what magic Guardiola used to the team during the halftime break. In the second half, all the Barcelona players were like they were blowing blood, playing very vigorously, and in very good condition. They not only firmly control the situation, but also frequently plan attack opportunities.

Soon, Benitez made a substitution, Mascherano replaced Robben and re-adopted the three-middle midfielder, allowing Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic to form a double striker, Kaka specifically put pressure on Busquets.

Real Madrid retreated from the entire line and adopted the three-middle midfielder tactic, which once again made Barcelona's offense hit the iron plate.

Whether it was last season or this season, Guardiola's team suffered a lot in front of Real Madrid's defense. Even Mourinho's Inter Milan and Wenger's Arsenal also learned the tricks of restraining Barcelona from Real Madrid.

Although Guardiola's team tried all their best, they still failed to find an effective way to break through Real Madrid's defense.

One of the very interesting phenomena is that as the second half of the game went by, Real Madrid adopted a three-middle midfielder, but Guardiola never adjusted the team's lineup.

Goalkeeper Valdes, Adriano, Pique, Puyol and Alves in the back line, Busquets dragged the ball in the midfield, Iniesta and Xavi were in the center, and Villa, Messi and Pedro in the front court.

This is the lineup when he challenged Real Madrid away three days ago. The day after tomorrow at Mestaña Stadium, Barcelona still used this style of play. Even in the second half, Barcelona was in a position to score but could not score and was unable to create a threat, Guardiola still did not make a substitution.

No one knows what Guardiola is thinking, no one knows whether he has completely lost trust in players such as Boyan and Afelle, or that he is expressing his inner dissatisfaction and anger to the management in this way.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that Guardiola did not substitute!

The game time passed by bit by bit, Barcelona completely controlled the ball, and Real Madrid was forced to retreat.

After entering the eighty minutes, Barcelona created the last threatening attack. The wall-to-strike cooperation between Iniesta and Messi gave Messi the opportunity to kick in the penalty area, but was swept under Casillas.

Subsequently, Barcelona significantly slowed down its offensive and rhythm.

In the 86th minute, Guardiola made his first substitution in this game, replacing Villa with Afelle.

This is also his only substitution in this game.

Real Madrid delayed the time in the final stage of the game, and Yang Yang was also replaced by Di Maria in stoppage time.

He scored the only goal in the game and was cheered by the fans on the scene.

Almost all Real Madrid fans rushed out of their seats and gave Yang Yang the warmest applause and cheers, and sent him off the stadium like a hero.

In the eyes of all Real Madrid fans, this is what Yang Yang deserves.
Chapter completed!
