As for 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 Baldano, so much so that the outside world has been speculating, and many fans have been worried about Ibrahimovic's contract extension, while the Swedish center forward continues to work the pitch to fight for more bargaining chips for himself.

On the evening of October 18, it was still at the Bernabeu Stadium.

In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid hosted Lyon in Ligue 1.

This is an old rival, Real Madrid has met Lyon for three consecutive years, and the two sides can be said to be too familiar to know each other.

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid played a whirlwind and directly pressed Lyon to beat him fat, if it wasn't for the excellent performance of goalkeeper Lloris, Lyon would have scored three goals in a row by Real Madrid in the first ten minutes.

But even so, Leon couldn't hold it after all.

In the eighteenth minute, Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic continued to collide with the wall on the left side of the penalty area, Yang Yang picked up the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic followed up in front of the goal to open the scoring for Real Madrid.

The Swedish center immediately ran over to celebrate with Yang Yang, because Yang Yang provided him with assists in three consecutive games.

Marcelo and Yang then combined brilliantly on the left flank to almost set up another goal for Ibrahimovic, but the Swedish centre-forward's shot went just wide of the post and missed a great chance.

In the second half, Yibian fought again, in the 47th minute, Real Madrid launched a long pass in the backfield, Ibrahimovic grabbed the first drop point, snatched the ball, Yang Yang immediately took the ball and assaulted, all the way to the front of the penalty area, and then knocked on the middle.

Luka Modric, who started in place of Xavi Alonso, followed up with a shot that sent the ball into the back of the net.

In the 54th minute, Real Madrid instigated another attack on the left side, Marcelo stuffed the ball straight into the penalty area, Ibrahimovic pushed the shot and was blocked by goalkeeper Lloris, and the ball was cleared by Lyon to the left side, Yang Yang got the ball and crossed the penalty area low, David Silva followed up and made it overnight, three to zero for Real Madrid.

In the 80th minute, Real Madrid got a corner kick opportunity in front, Ramos showed great courage, grabbed between the two Lyon defenders, and pushed the ball into the goal of the Lyon team, 4-0.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Lyon by four goals at home and won three consecutive group wins.

……

After the game, the media and fans spoke highly of Real Madrid's Champions League group stage performance.

Three consecutive wins basically ensured Real Madrid's right to qualify, as long as they win Lyon in the fourth round, they will advance to the round of 16, and Real Madrid will also become the first team to qualify early.

But some media pointed out that Yang Yang has not scored in three consecutive games.

In the past three games, Real Madrid has won the opponent by a big score, scoring an average of four goals per game, while Yang Yang has contributed eight assists in three games, but he has not scored a goal, but it is Ibrahimovic, who has scored in three consecutive games.

The outside world is worried about this situation, and there are even many media conspiracy theories to speculate whether Ibrahimovic is putting pressure on Real Madrid through Yang Yang, hoping to use consecutive goals to gain more bargaining chips for himself in contract renewal negotiations.

But this suspicion was quickly denied by Yang Yang.

As soon as he heard this kind of news, Yang Yang accepted an interview with As, publicly saying 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 Zlatan needs to prove anything to anybody, any team, that he's the best top player in the world, there's no doubt about it, he's a top star that all teams want and I'm sure the management knows that.

Yang Yang said that if he was the management of Real Madrid, he would not hesitate to renew Ibrahimovic's contract, because the Swedish center belongs to the kind of top superstars that are extremely scarce, but he also believes that the Real Madrid management will have their own considerations, which are not something he can figure out, so he will not express too many opinions.

This is an unbiased statement, but in fact, Yang Yang himself has obtained information from various sources, and he also knows what the problem is, and he also knows what the two sides of the negotiation are struggling with now.

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 asked him not to participate, so as not to be thankless.

Ibrahimovic and Yang Yang are still business as usual, but occasionally in private they will occasionally reveal their thoughts from a few words, and he wants to get more recognition and affirmation, which is reflected in salary, bonuses and various aspects.

If he can't get it at Real Madrid, then he's going to go where he can bring it.

Unlike Yang Yang, he has been wandering in a fixed place throughout his career.

Because he is restless Ibrahimovic!

October 22, Rosa Reda Stadium.

In the ninth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged upstart Malaga away.

Manuel Pellegrini was linked with Real Madrid for a while this summer, but the Galacticos chose Carlo Ancelotti and the Chilean engineer came to Malaga.

And at the beginning of the game, Real Madrid once again played a fast storm storm.

In the 11th minute, Di Maria sent a through ball, and Ibrahimovic shook the goalkeeper in the box and hit the goal from a tight angle to open the scoring for Real Madrid.

It was the fifth consecutive game in which the Swedish centre-forward scored.

Real Madrid then extended the score further.

Di Maria, who replaced Robben in this game, was very active, sending a cross from the right side in the 23rd minute, and Yang Yang pushed the goal from the edge of the small penalty area, 2-0.

Just five minutes later, Xavi Alonso sent a through ball to the penalty spot, where Yang Yang stopped the ball in the penalty area as if it were stuck to his feet, and then fired a shot with his right foot to break through Málaga again and extend the score to 3-0.

In the 38th minute, Real Madrid took a corner kick, Ramos nodded the ball and returned to the middle, Yang Yang appeared in the gap of the Malaga defense, turned sideways in the face of the incoming ball, hung the golden hook upside down, and sent the ball into the goal of Malaga again, 4-0.

Hat-trick!

This was Yang Yang's response to the pre-match statement that he would not score.

Either you don't enter, or you enter as soon as you enter.

While Real Madrid were away to Malaga 4-0 on the night, Barcelona also welcomed Sevilla at the Camp Nou.

But unlike the Galaxy's momentum on the road, Barça's situation is much more difficult.

Pep Guardiola still lined up in three, four, and three formations, and his style of play was even more aggressive than before, showing Barcelona's determination and courage to win the opponent at home.

Sevilla's game was targeted with a 4231 defensive counterattack formation, with Rakitic and Medel forming a double back to ensure Sevilla's midfield defensive ability, and the team's strict defense of the iron bucket formation also made Barcelona helpless.

But the real climax of the game came in stoppage time.

In the previous regular time, the two sides played a 0-0 draw, and neither could help the other, but after entering the stoppage time, 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, but Sevilla striker Canute had an argument with Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas, and Canute pushed Fabregas to the ground and was shown a red card.

Finally stabilized the conflict, Messi walked to the penalty spot.

So far this season, Messi has scored 10 goals in eight league games, but at half-time, Yang Yang scored a hat-trick in the first half to help Real Madrid lead Málaga 4-0 away.

As a result, Yang Yang's goal count has increased to eleven goals, surpassing Messi's goal by one goal.

Whether Yang Yang and Real Madrid will score again in the second half, Messi doesn't know, the only thing he is sure of is that he must score this penalty, not only to catch up with Yang Yang, but also for 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 league leader, which is unacceptable in any case.

The clash of players from both sides undoubtedly further exacerbated the tension, and the players of both teams were fighting for heat.

Messi stood at the penalty spot and tried hard to keep himself calm, but he inevitably thought more and more, and the result was ......

"Pounce out!"

"Ballas! Ballas!! Ballas !! ”

"Oh my God, he saved Messi's penalty!"

'Oh my God, Xavi Ballas kept the net for Sevilla at crucial moments.

'It's not the first time he's stopped Messi, in this game he made six crucial saves, almost every time they were world-class, and it's fair to say that Sevilla were able to get out of Camp Nou thanks to Barras.

'What's more, he was very brave in stoppage time, he saved a direct free-kick from Messi and now he saved Messi's penalty, and his performance was amazing, not inferior to Valdés on the other side.

"You know, Valdés has been six consecutive games and has not conceded a goal for 607 minutes, which is the best clean sheet in Valdés' career, but judging from the performance on the spot, Baldés has not lost to Valdés at all."

"It's a war between goalkeepers!"

Valdés' clean sheet includes four league games and two Champions League games, but that doesn't mean Barça's defence and attack are out of the question, on the contrary, this draw not only gave away the La Liga leader, but also completely exposed Barca's internal problems.

Messi's missed penalty and the players clashing violently are just a symptom of internal problems.

Even as many people have said, Pep Guardiola's switch to a back three is in fact a silent protest.

A dissatisfaction with the management, with the status quo of the team.
