968 missing points
Regarding Real Madrid's core strategy, no one has the right to know except for a very small number of core leaders such as Florentino and Bardano, so that the outside world has been speculating, and many fans have been worried about Ibrahimovic's contract renewal, while the Swedish center continues to work hard on the court to compete for more bargaining chips for themselves.
On the evening of October 18th, it was still at the Bernabeu Stadium.
In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid faced Ligue 1 Lyon at home.
This is an old opponent. Real Madrid has met Lyon for three consecutive years. Both sides can be said to be so familiar that they can't be more familiar.
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid was about to whirlwind and directly pressed Lyon to beat him up. If goalkeeper Loris had not performed well, Lyon would have been scored three goals by Real Madrid in the first ten minutes.
But even so, Lyon could not hold on.
In the 18th minute, Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic collided continuously on the left side of the penalty area. Yang Yang passed the penalty area and Ibrahimovic followed up in front of the goal to shoot, opening the first record for Real Madrid.
The Swedish center ran over to celebrate with Yang Yang as Yang Yang helped him in three consecutive games.
Then, Marcelo and Yang Yang cooperated wonderfully on the left, almost assisting Ibrahimovic to score a goal, and the Swedish center's shot slightly missed the post, missing an excellent opportunity.
The second half changed sides and fought again. In the 47th minute, Real Madrid launched a long pass in the backcourt. Ibrahimovic grabbed the first landing point and grabbed the ball. Yang Yang immediately dribbled the ball and rushed to the front of the penalty area, then hit the middle.
Modric, who replaced Xavi Alonso in this game, followed up with a push shot and sent the ball into the goal.
In the 54th minute, Real Madrid launched another attack on the left. Marcelo passed the ball straight into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic pushed the ball and was blocked by goalkeeper Loris. The ball was cleared by Lyon to the left. Yang Yang got the ball and passed it low to the penalty area. David Silva followed and scored another goal for Real Madrid, three to zero.
In the 80th minute, Real Madrid got a corner kick opportunity in the frontcourt. Ramos performed very bravely, and he rushed between two Lyon defenders and pushed the ball into Lyon's goal, four to zero.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Lyon with four goals at home and successfully won three consecutive wins in the group.
...
After the game, the media and fans gave high praise to Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League group stage.
The three consecutive victories basically ensure Real Madrid's right to qualify. As long as they win Lyon in the fourth round, they will advance to the quarterfinals in advance, and Real Madrid will also become the first team to advance ahead of schedule.
But some media pointed out that Yang Yang has not scored in three consecutive games.
In the past three games, Real Madrid has won their opponents with big scores, averaging four goals per game. Yang Yang contributed eight assists in three games, but he failed to score a single goal. Instead, Ibrahimovic scored three consecutive goals.
The outside world expressed concerns about this situation, and many media even conspired to speculate whether Ibrahimovic was putting pressure on Real Madrid through Yang Yang, hoping to use consecutive goals to obtain more bargaining chips for himself in renewal negotiations.
But this suspicion was quickly denied by Yang Yang.
As soon as he heard this news, Yang Yang accepted an interview with Ashes and publicly stated that he had no problems with Ibrahimovic, and he was not involved in the renewal of his contract with the team.
"I don't think that Zlatan needs to prove to anyone or any team. He is the best top star in the world. It is unquestionable. He is the top star that all teams want. I believe the club management knows this clearly."
Yang Yang said that if he was the management of Real Madrid, he would definitely renew his contract with Ibrahimovic without hesitation, because the Swedish center is the extremely scarce top superstar, but he also believes that the management of Real Madrid will have its own considerations, and these are not something he can understand, so he will not express too much opinions.
This is an impartial statement, but in fact, Yang Yang himself also obtained news from various channels, he also knew where the problem was, and he also clearly understood what the negotiating parties are currently struggling with.
Even as the co-agent of Ibrahimovic and Yang Yang, Raiola clearly told Yang Yang that this matter had nothing to do with him and told him not to participate, so as not to be thankless.
Ibrahimovic and Yang Yang are still as usual, but they occasionally reveal their thoughts from a few words in private. He wants to get more recognition and affirmation, which is reflected through salary, bonus and various aspects.
If he can't get it in Real Madrid, he will go to places that can bring them.
He is different from Yang Yang. He has been wandering in a place without a fixed place in his career.
Because he is the restless Ibrahimovic!

On October 22, Rosa Rada Stadium.
In the ninth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged the rookie Málaga away.
This summer, Pellegrini was once associated with Real Madrid, but the Galaxy finally chose Ancelotti, and the Chilean engineer came to Malaga.
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid once again played a fast attack storm.
In the eleventh minute, Di Maria made a straight pass, and Ibrahimovic drifted past the goalkeeper in the penalty area and then shot from a small angle, opening the first record for Real Madrid.
This is the fifth consecutive goal of the Swedish center.
Subsequently, Real Madrid further expanded the score.
Di Maria, who replaced Robben in this game, performed very actively. In the 23rd minute, he made a cross from the right, and Yang Yang pushed the ball from the edge of the small penalty area, 2-0.
Just five minutes later, Xavi Alonso made a straight pass near the penalty spot. Yang Yang stopped the ball steadily in the penalty area. The ball seemed to stick to his feet. Then he suddenly shot with his right foot, breaking through Malaga's goal again, expanding the score to three to zero.
In the 38th minute, Real Madrid took a corner kick, Ramos headed the ball back and returned to the middle. Yang Yang appeared at Malaga's defensive gap, turned around in the face of the incoming ball, stepped on the golden hook, and sent the ball into Malaga's goal again, 4-0.
hat trick!
This is Yang Yang's response to pre-match about his failure to score.
Either you don’t go in, you’ll get three in as soon as you go in.

While Real Madrid played 4-0 at the away night at Malaga, Barcelona also welcomed Sevilla at the Camp Nou.
But unlike the Galaxy Battleships' unstoppable away game, Barcelona's situation is much more difficult.
Guardiola still lined up a three, four and three formation, and his playing style was even more radical than before, showing Barcelona's determination and courage to defeat his opponent at home.
Sevilla arranged a targeted defensive counterattack formation of 4231 in this game. The double midfielder formed by Rakitic and Medel ensured Sevilla's midfield defensive ability. The team's iron barrel formation that strictly guarded the dead also left Barcelona helpless.
But the real climax of this game was in the final stoppage time of the game.
In the previous regular time, the two sides tied a zero-to-zero draw, and no one could do anything to each other, but after entering the stoppage time period, the situation turned around and the plot was also ups and downs.
First, Iniesta was tripped by Fazio in the penalty area, and the referee showed a yellow card and a penalty kick, but Sevilla striker Canute had a dispute with Barcelona midfielder Fabregas, and Canute pushed Fabregas to the ground and was directly shown a red card.
After finally stabilizing the conflict, Messi stepped onto the penalty spot.
So far this season, Messi has scored ten goals in eight league rounds, but at halftime, Yang Yang scored a hat-trick in the first half, helping Real Madrid lead Malaga four-0 away.
In this way, Yang Yang's goal count increased to eleven goals, surpassing Messi's one goal.
Messi didn't know whether Yang Yang and Real Madrid would score another goal in the second half. The only thing he was sure of was that he had to score this penalty, not only to catch up with Yang Yang, but also to Barcelona.
If he misses this penalty, he will not only be reversed by Yang Yang in the scorer list, but Barcelona will also lose points and give up the throne of the league leader, which is unacceptable in any case.
The conflict between the players on both sides undoubtedly further intensified the tension, and the players of both teams were fighting for the heat.
Messi stood at the penalty spot and tried hard to calm himself down, but he inevitably thought more and more, and the result...
"Saving out!"
"Balas!Balas!!Balas!!!"
"God, he saved Messi's penalty!"
"Oh my god, Xavi Balas saved the goal for Sevilla at a critical moment."
"This is not the first time he has stopped Messi. In this game, he made six crucial saves, and almost every time it is world-class. It can be said that Varas is an important contribution to Sevilla's ability to escape from the Camp Nou."
"More importantly, he performed very bravely in stoppage time. He saved Messi's direct free kick just now, and now he saved Messi's penalty kick. His performance is so surprising, no less than Valdes on the opposite side."
"You know, Valdes has been playing six consecutive games and has not conceded goals in 607 minutes, which has set the best record of not conceding goals in Valdes' career, but judging from the on-site performance, Valdes is not inferior to Valdes at all."
"This is a war between goalkeepers!"
Valdes' unreached games include four league games and two Champions League games, but this does not mean that Barcelona's defense and offense are no problem. On the contrary, this draw not only gave up the position of La Liga leader, but also completely exposed Barcelona's internal problems.
Messi lost a penalty kick and the players had a fierce conflict. These are just manifestations of internal problems.
Even as many people say, Guardiola's change to play as a three-back is actually a silent protest.
