In the mid-week Champions League, Yang Yang did not play, and even did not make the roster.

Everyone knows that when facing Dynamo Zagreb at home, Real Madrid's probability of defeating their opponents is very high, and there is no need to use Yang Yang's nuclear weapon at all.

And the facts prove that this is the case.

Two minutes into the game, David Silva assisted Ibrahimovic to score.

In the seventh minute, Ibrahimovic assisted Robben to score.

Then in the ninth minute, Morata received a cross from Aveloa and scored, expanding the score to three-to-zero.

In the 20th minute, Ibrahimovic assisted Modric to score another goal.

After the second half of the game, Varane made a long pass from the backcourt, and Robben easily counterattacked and successfully dribbled into the penalty area, scoring a single goal, expanding the score to five-to-zero for Real Madrid.

Then Morata and Ibrahimovic played quickly and passed the penalty area. Ibrahimovic leaned against the defender and stopped and rushed directly into the penalty area. He scored 6-0.

After winning the big score, Real Madrid relaxed its offensive. Dynamo Zagreb counterattacked to maintain dignity and scored a goal later. In the end, Real Madrid defeated Dynamo Zagreb six-one with the outstanding performance of Ibrahimovic at home.

With five consecutive victories in the group, Real Madrid qualified as the first in the group without any suspense.

But what surprised the team even more was Modric.

The Croatian midfielder was praised by the media as "White Xavi" after the game, meaning that he is Real Madrid's midfielder Xavi.

Judging from this game, although he only scored one goal, after he partnered with David Silva, he firmly helped Real Madrid lock in the midfield, allowing Real Madrid to play very smoothly in the first 70 minutes, and organized wave after wave of offensives.

According to the comments from the media after the game, Real Madrid not only has the right to possess the ball, but also has a threatening offense. Even if the frontcourt players have a stronger ability to seize opportunities, they should score at least five or six goals in the first half.

"He is a keen and insightful player!" Marca praised after the game.

Real Madrid's locker room is also very sure of Modric's performance, especially after joining the team for four months, the Croatian midfielder is obviously getting better, and Ancelotti has a special preference for midfielders like David Silva, Modric, Herrera and Xavi Alonso.

If the existence of Xavi Martinez and Mascherano ensures Real Madrid's midfield defense, then in Ancelotti's mind, these four midfielders represent Real Madrid's midfield organizational ability and creativity.

Kaka is still working hard for transformation, but there is really not much time left for him.

…………

On November 26, at 20 pm, Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium.

In the 14th round of La Liga, Madrid derby, Real Madrid faced Atletico Madrid at home.

It was said to be a derby battle, but there was no trace of the passion that was empty, because Atletico Madrid had not been able to win the derby battle for twelve years, which is a very terrible number.

Before every derby, they swear to break their past destiny, but after every game, they failed to turn the situation around and always fell at the feet of Real Madrid, which was hated to the core.

Former Chairman Hil once said that as long as you can win Real Madrid, it doesn’t matter if you lose to the whole world!

This sentence has always been Atletico Madrid's motto, and this season's Bedding Legion has spent a lot of money, introducing stars like the bidder Falcao. There are also powerful players like Diego, Savio and Felipe in the team, among which Felipe is Yang Yang's friend during his time at Ajax.

Head coach Manzano obviously made sufficient preparations, defended steadily at the start, blocked Real Madrid's first wave of attack, and waited patiently for the opportunity. Finally, in the fifteenth minute, he directly hit Marcelo behind him, Savio launched a counterattack on the right, and Falcao successfully counterattacked from the small angle to hit the goal, opening the first record for Atletico Madrid.

It looks like a game that is about to be upset.

But Real Madrid is not a fuel-efficient light at home.

In the 24th minute, after Yang Yang got the ball in the middle, he turned around and got rid of the defensive player, dribbled the ball forward, and rushed straight into the penalty area to find Ibrahimovic. Belgian goalkeeper Courtois, who performed well after loaning from Chelsea from Atletico Madrid this season, was forced to abandon the goal and attack. Without being able to block Ibrahimovic, he directly threw the Swedish center to the ground.

The referee gave a penalty of red card and penalty. Ibrahimovic originally wanted to give it to Yang Yang, but Yang Yang refused and finally took the penalty and equalized the score for Real Madrid.

After the second half of the game, Real Madrid launched an offensive, Yang Yang forced a breakthrough on the left and made a cross. Ibrahimovic in the middle deliberately missed, and Robben at the back point followed and pushed the shot to reverse the score for Real Madrid.

In the 65th minute, Marcelo got the ball in the backcourt and launched a long pass to launch a counterattack. Godin made a mistake in clearing the ball. After Ibrahimovic grabbed the ball, he made a wonderful pass behind him. Yang Yang broke into the penalty area, drifted past the substitute goalkeeper Asenho, and pushed the ball into the empty goal, scoring three to zero.

Then in the 82nd minute, Yang Yang passed the ball from the heel and cooperated with Ibrahimovic. Godin made a foul on the outside of the penalty area and was sent off with a red card. Yang Yang personally took the free kick and scored it in one go, expanding the score again.

Four to one, Real Madrid finally won Atletico Madrid at home with Yang Yang's two shots and one pass.

The twelve-year unbeaten derby record was continued again after this game.

...

While Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid four-1 at home, Barcelona's entire team was also in Madrid, but in another stadium, Getafe's Alfonso Perez Stadium waiting for the kickoff.

In the middle of the week, Barcelona encountered a tough battle away. Facing A Milan, who was twice behind and equalized twice, Barcelona eventually scored a key goal with Messi assisted Xavi, defeated A Milan 3-2 away, and followed Real Madrid, and advanced to the top of the group.

After the game, Guardiola's three-four-three style of play was praised by all media and fans, and many people even compared it with Cruyff's three-four-three of Dream Team, because Guardiola was the core player of Dream Team.

But perhaps it was because of the over-expenditure of the players in Milan in the middle of the week, or for other reasons, Guardiola returned to the four-back in the away game against Getafe on the weekend.

The lineup is complete and the main players are all out. Even the newly joined No. 9 winger Sanchez has returned from injury and formed a trident with Messi and Villa. However, this team that just defeated A Milan at the São Paulo Stadium had no choice but to defend Getafe at the Alfonso Perez Stadium. Instead, in the 67th minute, Real Madrid youth training player Sarabia assisted Barrela to head the ball through a corner kick.

In the final stage of the game, Messi also shot after stopping the ball in the penalty area, but he was too pursuing the angle and hitting the post, which failed to help Barcelona equalize the score.

In this way, Barcelona lost 0-1 to Getafe away, and suffered its first loss in the new season.

After this game, the gap in points between Barcelona and Real Madrid further widened to eight points.

...

After the game, the visiting team's locker room at Alfonso Perez Stadium was silent.

Guardiola didn't say a word since she walked into the locker room, but just sat in her seat blankly, lowering her head, as if she was worried about something.

This is not a match that belongs to him!

This is not the team he wants either!

If Athletic Bilbao's San Mames Stadium is a place where any team may lose points, then there is definitely a problem that it is not possible to take even a single point away from Getafe at Alfonso Perez Stadium.

What's the problem?

Messi, Villa, Pedro, Sanchez, Fabregas, Iniesta...

Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt offense is definitely not weak, and some people have even estimated the price. This set of forwards is worth at least 200 million euros, which is not inferior to Real Madrid. But the problem now is that it is difficult for the team to score a goal against Getafe.

Villa's form has been falling too fast, and Sanchez has not yet integrated into the team, but none of these are problems.

Outsiders don’t know, but Guardiola himself knows very well that the biggest problem with Barcelona today is its dependence on Messi.

This is like Benitez's Real Madrid was overly dependent on Yang Yang on the offensive end.

Messi's shots this season have reached 70 times, and Barcelona's entire team has 217 times. Messi's share is more than 30%, while Argentine's star has scored fifteen goals so far, and the team has only scored 38 goals, and the proportion is 40%. However, Messi's assists this season have only five times, which has a very significant decline.

In other words, Messi is gradually transforming into a scorer, and this is not the case with Messi in the past.

Just say that last season, he took everything in the frontcourt. Except for corner kicks, he participated in almost all Barcelona's offenses, so his goals and assists set career highs.

But this season, Messi is occupying more shooting opportunities and reducing his investment in other aspects. So no one can fill the current Barcelona team. Instead, the shooting resources he has squeezed out have compressed the performance of other players such as Villa.

The final problem becomes like this now. When Messi is in poor form or is tired, there will be problems with Barcelona's offense. What's even more terrible is that Guardiola, as the head coach, has no way to say anything about this.

He knew that Messi wanted to compete with Yang Yang, and Barcelona and Barcelona fans also wanted to see a more ambitious Messi, but the result was that there was a problem with the team.

The management means that, like Real Madrid, we will form the team and build tactics around Messi, and maximize resources to tilt towards Messi, and train him to become a superstar similar to Yang Yang.

But this is not what Guardiola wants to see, because the biggest difference between Messi and Yang Yang is that he is too emotional, while Yang Yang is always so calm and stable, and sometimes it even makes people wonder if he is a robot.
