Yang Yang's delight in having a son sparked heated discussions in the media around the world, but this would not stop the European League from going to the pace.

On September 14, the entire Real Madrid team went to Croatia to challenge Dynamo Zagreb away.

Ancelotti's team played a very outstanding offensive away, with a ball possession rate of nearly 65% ​​and a twenty-four shots, which all allow people to see Real Madrid's overall strength advantage.

Facing his old club, Modric also played the best game since joining Real Madrid, but unfortunately, Real Madrid did not score. Except for Di Maria scored a goal in the 54th minute, he had an overwhelming advantage in the rest of the time, but he never broke through the opponent's goal.

In the end, Real Madrid only won a small goal.

...

The outside media affirmed Real Madrid's away win, but at the same time they were worried that Ancelotti's team would continue the embarrassment of Benitez last season. After losing Yang Yang, the team's offense became less threatening?

Judging from the game against Dynamo Zagreb, whether it is Ibrahimovic, Robben, or Di Maria who replaces Yang Yang, there is indeed a clear gap with Yang Yang in terms of scoring efficiency.

But Ancelotti said he was not worried because the team played a very beautiful offensive football and firmly controlled the scene. The main reason for the lack of goals was that the team lacked some luck.

"Of course, Yang Yang's absence is also a big impact on us. He is the most important player of the team. We all think that now he should be with his wife and children. We have reason to believe that by the time he comes back, he will become stronger than ever."

...

If Real Madrid's 1-0 away victory over Dynamo Zagreb can be accepted by the media and fans, then Barcelona's draw with Milan 2-2 at home will have controversial Guardiola's team.

It’s not that it’s so bad that Milan is tied at home, but that Barcelona’s way of drawing is a bit embarrassing.

The number of shots is close to four times that of Milan, and the possession rate is three times that of the Ross and Blacks, but the final score is 2-2, especially conceding the ball at the beginning. Barcelona, ​​as always, reflected its old habit of slow pace in the game.

After the game, including Catalan media, they believed that Guardiola's home platoon was more conservative and did not show confidence in defeating his opponent at home. In addition, Milan was strictly guarding and defending his life, which led to the draw.

A La Liga tie led to Barcelona falling behind Real Madrid by two points. Now the Champions League draw is tied again, especially with Milan. If Barcelona wants to win the first place in the group, they still need to work harder in the next few games.

...

However, perhaps it is to put it to death before you can live.

After suffering two consecutive draws, Barcelona continued to face Osasuna at home.

Guardiola's team ushered in a rare explosion after being under heavy pressure. With Messi's hat-trick and Villa's double score, Barcelona beat Osasuna 8-0 at home, playing the most amazing goal frenzy since the start of La Liga this season.

Guardiola still had a three-, four- and three formation in this game, but the frontcourt trident became Villa, Messi and Alves, and new player Sanchez did not even make it into the roster. Fabregas appeared in the front midfielder, Thiago and Xavi were in the center, and Busquets dragged it back.

As a result, such a set of playing style completely defeated Osasuna.

In contrast to Barcelona's outbreak, after winning two consecutive victories, Real Madrid encountered Levante's tenacious sniper away game, and was upset by Levante to zero and lost the game.

This was another game where he was in a position and could not score. Real Madrid created a lot of opportunities, but as a kick in front of the goal, he lacked some efficiency and frequently missed opportunities, which eventually led to Levante's counterattack in the second half and finally lost the game.

After the game, major Spanish media criticized Real Madrid's defeat, but the main focus was on the goal status of Real Madrid players, because the team created many opportunities, but they were unable to seize them.

Ancelotti's accusations were more sarcastic, because Italy once threatened before the season that Real Madrid would win all the first ten rounds of La Liga, but now they only played three rounds and lost one game.

The Catalan media is even more afraid that the world will remain undisciplined that according to this ratio, Real Madrid will lose two more games by the tenth round, and I believe that Barcelona has opened the points gap and will welcome the Century Derby with more advantages.

…………

On September 21, Spain's Santander Sardinian Stadium.

In the fifth round of La Liga, Real Madrid faces Athletic Santander.

Due to a one-week double game, Ancelotti rotated the team's lineup again.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defense is Marcelo, Fermalen, Varane and Aveloa, the double midfielder is Mascherano and Xavi Alonso, the frontcourt is Di Maria, David Silva and Robben, and the center is Ibrahimovic.

After a week of separation, Yang Yang re-entered the roster. This was his first game after he had a happy son. However, because his training in the previous week was not standard, Ancelotti and the coaching staff arranged for him to be substitute for the sake of safety.

Santander Athletics faces Real Madrid with a 442 lineup. It has strong home combat capabilities, and the team focuses on defensive counterattacks, which greatly limits the attack power of Real Madrid players in the frontcourt.

Like Levante before, Real Madrid has an absolute advantage in possession, but has never found an effective goal-scoring method.

Especially in the second half, the time was getting less and less, but the team's offense seemed to have never found an effective route. It was in vain to have a 70% possession rate in Santander.

This situation is a bit like Real Madrid's playing against Barcelona, ​​and the result is that the more players play, the more they become, the more likely they make mistakes.

The last away game lost to Levante was because he made a mistake in his impatience and was hit by his opponent to score a goal.

Could it be that we will repeat the same mistake tonight?

In the 67th minute, Ancelotti made the first substitution adjustment in this game, and Yang Yang came on the court.

When Yang Yang stood on the sidelines, waiting to be on the bench, boos broke out in the entire Sardines Stadium.

The home team fans obviously don't want to see Yang Yang come on the bench. They long for their team to hit Real Madrid like Levante.

But they also know very well that Yang Yang's scoring ability is far stronger and more efficient than other Real Madrid players.

But no matter how reluctant she was, Yang Yang still came on stage.

...

"Real Madrid made a substitution."

"Yang Yang replaced Mascherano, which is a very obvious signal to strengthen the team's offense."

"After the substitution, it should be David Silva retreating and partnering with Xavi Alonso. Should Yang Yang play on the side or the middle?"

"We saw Yang Yang walking onto the stadium. He looked very calm. He was making pressing gestures with both hands. He should be reminding Real Madrid teammates to be steady, don't worry, take your time."

"Indeed, there is still enough time for Real Madrid now."

...

Yang Yang appeared in the middle after he came on as a substitute, which was obviously Ancelotti's intentional arrangement.

Di Maria and Robben pulled the two wings apart, Yang Yang's position was more free and active, David Silva was responsible for connecting the midfield and backcourt, delivering shells for Yang Yang and others, while Xavi Alonso dragged them behind to organize and sort them out.

The role of core players is to stabilize the morale of the army.

When Yang Yang appeared on the court, Real Madrid players seemed to have a backbone, everyone also had confidence and direction, and the game on the court gradually stabilized, and everyone began to calm down.

The ball ranged from Xavi Alonso to David Silva to Yang Yang, and the three of them were working hard to slow down the pace of the game, while steadily pressing the team's overall formation forward.

At the 81st minute, Real Madrid created a chance.

Di Maria got the ball on the left, Marcelo inserted at high speed, and after receiving the ball, he forced his way through Santander Athletics defensive player along the left side, and went down to the bottom line and crossed to the penalty area.

Santander Athletics defender desperately and headed the ball before Ibrahimovic and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

After receiving the ball from the left side of the penalty area, Di Maria cut in horizontally, got rid of the defensive player, and then passed to the middle.

Yang Yang quickly inserted along the middle, facing Di Maria's pass, stood still with his left foot, and directly pulled out a powerful long shot with his right foot, knocking the ball towards Santander Athletics goal.

Goalkeeper Tonio's previous attention was on the left and Ibrahimovic, and his position was a little left. When he realized and wanted to move to the right, he unexpectedly Yang Yang suddenly used a cold arrow and took advantage of his forward inertia to shoot directly, and the shooting was fast and fast, and the angle was very tricky.

In the end, Tonio flew to the side but failed to block Yang Yang's long shot, and the ball entered the net.

One to zero!

All Real Madrid players on the court raised their arms high.

Yang Yang quickly turned around and rushed to the sidelines, rushed to the live game camera, pulled up his jersey hard, revealing the white T-shirt inside, which was a baby pattern he specially found, and Yang Yang's hands also showed a love gesture.

I love you, child!

Real Madrid players rushed forward one after another, and Ibrahimovic was the first to rush over and picked up Yang Yang.

The Swedish center was convinced, not only because Yang Yang was his best friend, but also because of the facts.

Real Madrid has not agreed to his contract renewal request for a long time, which makes him very dissatisfied, especially in recent games, where Yang Yang is absent. He is determined to prove himself and want to tell everyone, especially Real Madrid's management, that he is no worse than Yang Yang.

What Yang Yang can do, he can do, such as scoring goals, and what Yang Yang cannot do, he can do, such as tactical effects.

But now, he began to understand that he is not Yang Yang, he is not as good as Yang Yang. He cannot provide the team with dozens of goals every season like Yang Yang, which is unimaginable.

This is a team belonging to Yang Yang. If he stays here, he can only continue to act as Yang Yang's deputy, because he will never be able to replace Yang Yang.

After understanding this, Ibrahimovic's heart suddenly became clear, and some things that had been struggling were finally decided.
Chapter completed!
