On October 2, Barcelona Corneia Stadium.

In the seventh round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Espanyol away.

Although it was a away game, Real Madrid launched a strong offensive at the beginning. In the 17th minute, in a counterattack, Yang Yang received a straight pass from David Silva, dribbled the ball from the left and forced a pass, and Ibrahimovic scored a single shot in front of the goal, opening the first record for Real Madrid.

The Spaniard then strengthened its defense, especially in terms of physical confrontation.

Although they and Barcelona are mortal enemies in the same city, their attitudes are still very consistent when facing Real Madrid.

Real Madrid did not score again until the second half. After receiving Robben's pass from the right, Maicon dribbled the ball and broke through to the outside of the penalty area and passed it straight. Ibrahimovic shot from the right side of the penalty area and entered the net in the far corner, 2-0.

Yang Yang was closely guarded by Espanyol throughout the game, but he used his pull to attract defensive attention and create more opportunities for his teammates.

In the 82nd minute, Yang Yang took the ball from the left again, facing defender Flynn one-on-one. After a light fake move, he suddenly spiked and forced a breakthrough. Flynn could not stop him. Seeing Yang Yang dribbled the ball into the penalty area and passed it low to the back point. Robben, who followed, easily pushed the shot into the near corner, three to zero.

In the 89th minute, after Espanyol intercepted in the penalty area, he was pressed by Real Madrid at a high pressure, and made a mistake in the return pass. Ibrahimovic took the lead and pushed the ball into the goal with a single shot, staged a hat trick.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Espanyol four-zero away with Ibrahimovic's hat-trick.

...

When Real Madrid went to Espanyol, Barcelona also went on a battle to challenge Sporting Gijon away.

The final result was that in the eleventh minute, Barcelona scored the only goal by left back Adriano, but the price was that Abidal, who had performed well in the central defender recently, was injured.

This is the sixth casualty in Barcelona in recent times.

After the game, both the Catalan media and the media close to Real Madrid did not mention the game process, but focused on the injury crisis faced by Barcelona.

Abidal's injury was a strain on the biceps femoris with the right leg. It is expected to be a week or ten days off. This is not serious, but he is the seventh injured person in Barcelona so far this season and the fifth injured person in nearly 23 days.

But these are not problems. The key to the problem is that the injuries of these injured in Barcelona all come from the same injury, that is, muscle strain.

Winter Sanchez, who just joined Barcelona, ​​had a strain on his right leg biceps, and had a rest of eight weeks; Iniesta had a strain on his left leg biceps, and had a rest of four weeks; Afelle's left knee had a broken anterior cruciate ligament during training and had a rest of six months; Fabregas's right leg biceps, and had a rest of three weeks.

Now, add an Abidal.

Everyone knows that most muscle injuries are caused by fatigue fighting, while Barcelona is committed to fighting on the third line this season, and the game tasks are very heavy, but Guardiola's first-team lineup is not abundant.

Barcelona's team doctor Pruna's ability has been questioned, but he defended himself, "In a club like Barcelona with extremely heavy game tasks, the current injury situation is definitely within the normal range."

Pruner called on everyone not to make a fuss, and said that the work of the team doctor team was well carried out.

The outside media speculated that Barcelona's large-scale injury was related to the team's summer training. Prune denied it, but did not make convincing statements. Barcelona chairman Rossel also said that injuries themselves are part of football, and also denied that the team's summer training affected players, which in turn caused large-scale injuries.

Pruner also specially produced UEFA research data showing that each team will experience 20 to 25 injuries each season, half of which are related to biceps injuries to the legs, and Barcelona's situation is still within the normal range.

But soon Catalan media asked back, it may not be outrageous that six cases in two months have occurred, but four cases have occurred in a row in 23 days, which has led to the urgent need for first-team personnel. Isn’t this enough to attract attention?

Another very interesting phenomenon is that the team's players who missed the team's summer training did not suffer injuries. For example, Messi, who is the most vulnerable to his opponents, but this time he successfully blocked the wave of injuries.

Barcelona's large-scale injury does not bring any substantial benefits to Real Madrid, but if we look at the overall situation, the opponent's large-scale injury will undoubtedly cause Barcelona to make mistakes in the next schedule and may even lose points continuously. This is Real Madrid's best opportunity.

The problems that Barcelona has encountered in summer training are also worthy of being vigilant from Real Madrid.

After playing the seventh round of La Liga, the national team match day was ushered in two weeks.

Yang Yang said goodbye to his wife and children and returned home alone.

On October 6, the national team ushered in a warm-up match, and China defeated the UAE 2-1, with Sun Xiang and Gao Lin each scoring a goal.

Five days later, the Chinese team welcomed their third opponent in the World Cup qualifiers at home, successfully defeating Iraq 1-0. Yang Yang scored a goal at a critical moment, helping the Chinese team achieve three consecutive wins in the group.

It can be said that after winning Iraq, the Chinese team basically entered the top ten games with one foot.

...

On the evening of October 15th, the Bernabeu Stadium.

In the eighth round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Real Betis at home.

Due to the long journey, Yang Yang did not appear in the lineup list in this game, but in the first half, Real Madrid still had the upper hand but failed to score, and the game was very difficult.

This is also a problem faced by many international teams. Real Betis has been resuming his strength for two weeks, but Real Madrid internationals are running back and forth, some even traveling thousands of kilometers long distances.

During the halftime break, Real Madrid fans in the stands were already shouting Yang Yang's name.

At the beginning of the second half, Ancelotti replaced Yang Yang.

As a result, after thirty-six seconds, Marcelo made a long pass, Yang Yang inserted it at high speed, broke into the penalty area and made a cross from the left rib. Ibrahimovic easily pushed the ball into the empty goal at the edge of the small penalty area, one to zero.

In the 59th minute, Yang Yang got the ball on the left again, one-on-two, and used his personal ability to take the ball out of the sideline under the double-team of two defensive players, and successfully passed it low to the middle. Kaka shot near the penalty spot, scoring 2-0.

In the 69th minute, Real Madrid passed the penalty area for a long pass, Real Betis defender headed the ball to clear the ball, Yang Yang broke into the penalty area, and faced the double-team of three defensive players, he decisively chose to pass the ball, Robben scored from 12 meters, three to zero.

Although there was no goal, Yang Yang's name was shouting at the entire Bernabeu Stadium.

As the most knowledgeable football fan in the world, Real Madrid fans know more than anyone else about the contributions Yang Yang has brought to this team.

They couldn't even imagine what Real Madrid would be like without Yang Yang?

Will Real Madrid still be Real Madrid?

Subsequently, Ibrahimovic received assists from Robben in the 70th and 73rd minutes respectively, scoring two consecutive goals, helping Real Madrid expand the score to five-to-zero. The Swedish center also scored hat tricks in two consecutive games, with the number of goals exceeding Yang Yang.

Ibrahimovic also knew very well that it was Yang Yang who was deliberately creating him.

Because he has been negotiating a contract renewal with Real Madrid since this season, but he has never agreed to it. The continuous goals can undoubtedly greatly enhance his bargaining chips.

...

In the stands, Florentino, Manuel Redondo and Valdano were also watching the game.

Zidane was an assistant to Ancelotti and appeared in the home team's coach's seat, but it seemed that he was not a scheming boss. He would walk out of the coach's seat from time to time and shout something to the players on the court.

This made Florentino and others very happy, because Real Madrid knew very well that Zidane would become Real Madrid's head coach one day. This is the long-cherished wish of the Real Madrid chairman. He hopes to build a star team that is all superstars from head coach to players. Zidane is the head coach he personally selected, and Yang Yang is his chosen humeral core.

"Ibrahimovic's two consecutive hat-tricks, Yang Yang has assisted five times in the last two games." Florentino said this and couldn't help but smile, "He now has more assists than goals."

Manuel Redondo nodded and said: "Eight goals and nine assists, the Champions League is a pass and one shot."

"He is helping his good brother." Florentino smiled.

He did not object to Yang Yang's approach, and he even admired him very much, because it means that Yang Yang is a person who values ​​feelings. Such a superstar is undoubtedly the most reassuring. As long as you treat him well and treat him sincerely, he will return you thousands or hundreds of times and fight for you unconditionally.

The next stage of Real Madrid coaching seat belongs to Zidane, and perhaps one day in the future, it will belong to Yang Yang.

"It's probably not just this factor." Bardano took over the conversation, "Do you find out that Messi scored twice in this game. He has scored ten goals so far, but has few assists. Yang Yang is the opposite. He scored eight goals and assisted nine times."

How smart people Florentino and Redondo were, they understood as soon as they heard it.

"You mean, are the two competing?" Florentino asked with a smile.

"I'm almost ten. Last season, Messi scored more assists and scored fewer goals, but Yang Yang scored more goals but had fewer assists. So this season they turned around. Yang Yang began to pay attention to assists, while Messi paid attention to goals." Bardano couldn't help but laugh.

It is really a blessing to be able to see two such top superstars competing at the same time.

The battle between Yang Yang and Messi is even more exciting than Cruyff’s fight against Beckenbauer back then, because both Yang Yang and Messi are attackers, and although Beckenbauer is omnipotent, he is not a scorer after all.

After scoring goals and assists, Yang Yang and Messi are both the kind of people who do not accept failure. They both have the genes of competitive strength and competition in their bones. They probably have both!
