On the afternoon of January 25, at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.

In the 21st round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Granada.

It wasn't meant to be a high-profile match, but thanks to the arrival of the Ballon d'Or, it attracted the attention of the whole city and even the whole of Spain.

After returning to Madrid after winning the Ballon d'Or in Zurich, Yang Yang was greeted by Real Madrid fans, but after that, Real Madrid was always away until this weekend to usher in a home stadium, so according to the custom, Real Madrid held a special Ballon d'Or display ceremony for Yang Yang before the game.

Before the start of the game, when Yang Yang walked into the Bernabeu Stadium with the Golden Ball Award in his hand, the audience burst into a wave of applause and cheers, which did not stop for a long time, and all Real Madrid fans were extremely excited and excited.

They were also prepared, every fan carried a golden note, the note was printed with Yang Yang's name and a Golden Globe Award emblem, when Yang Yang held the Golden Ball Award high, each of them also held up the note, and the Bernabeu saw that the sea suddenly turned into a golden ocean.

Not only that, but the creative Real Madrid fans also used black cardboard to spell out a huge font in the middle of the stadium, up to four levels of stands, the length of which covered the entire south stand, which was the initials of Yang Yang's name and his jersey number.

YY11！

This is Yang Yang's name, and it is also the hallmark of the personal brand he created.

Real Madrid fans used this move to tell everyone that Yang Yang is the protagonist of today's Bernabeu.

At the same time, the big screen in the Bernabeu grandstand also played a huge photo of Yang Yang, and a line of words was also typed on the screen: 2013 Golden Globe Award winner Yang Yang!

In addition, Real Madrid also carefully arranged the scene, and the fans at the scene were also very excited, hanging banners with various slogans on the scene to express their love for Yang Yang, which made the whole stadium filled with a wave of celebration and joy.

Yang Yang was in the middle of the field, and his surroundings were already full of Real Madrid first-team players, who stood on Yang Yang's left and right, shoulder to shoulder, hands around their necks, and gathered together for hundreds of media reporters on the sidelines to take pictures.

The gesture was a sign of the solidarity of Real Madrid and the good atmosphere in the dressing room.

……

"We can proudly tell the world that Real Madrid is now at the pinnacle of its 100-year history, because we have Yang Yang, who has won the Ballon d'Or for seven years in a row."

"In the past 100 years of football history, there has never been a player who has brought so much joy, brought so many championships, and brought so many honors like Yang Yang."

"We thank Yang Yang for coming to the Bernabeu!"

"We are proud and proud that our team has a superstar like Yang Yang, and we sincerely hope that Yang Yang and all the players of Real Madrid can continue to work hard, play at a better level, show better results, and win more championships!"

……

The passionate speech of the on-site commentator deeply infected everyone at the scene.

Including Florentino, who sat in the chairman's stand.

It may not be visible from a distance, but from the perspective of Manuel Redondo and Baldano sitting next to him, it is not difficult to see that Florentino's eyes are a little red.

This is an era that belongs to Real Madrid!

At the same time, it was another era that Florentino had started!

There were once concerns that Real Madrid's Galaxy Battleship Phase II would be like the Galaxy Battleship Phase I, which experienced a short period of glory and then quickly fell into a slump and has been in a slump ever since.

But Valdano, Zinedine Zidane and Carlo Ancelotti are all confident and have made it clear that they won't.

Because, now Real Madrid's core player Yang Yang is only twenty-seven years old, at the peak of his career, the average age of the team is very low, is one of the youngest teams in La Liga and the Champions League, such a team is full of passion and vitality, how can it collapse? How did you fall into a slump?

"Yang Yang has been in the team for four years, and these four years have been brilliant four years, which means that our big gamble four years ago was right, and this year the team is still full of competitiveness and vitality, which makes people feel hopeful." Florentino said with a sigh.

He knows better than anyone that the introduction of Yang Yang four years ago with a transfer fee of more than 100 million yuan was to create a new era before the so-called professional football in the world, and no one has been able to break Yang Yang's record so far, Cristiano Ronaldo is just equal.

It was an out-and-out gamble, and the bet was on Yang Yang.

And now looking back, Yang Yang has brought too much and too much to Real Madrid.

Having a player like Yang Yang is a happy thing for any team, because they can build a team around Yang Yang, which can save a lot of trouble.

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, with Yang Yang in front of you, the players of Real Madrid have also shown their strength one after another, and the young players have also emerged one by one, what kind of thriving situation is this?

Hazard, Di Maria and Marcelo before, Isco and Ilia Ramendi this season, and now even Morata and Jesse are performing better and better, especially Jesse, the youngster who claims to be Yang Yang's apprentice, is performing better and better, and there are more and more playing times and opportunities.

Arguably. Real Madrid now has a very balanced combination of old, middle and young people in the team, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

'Whether it's Carlo Ancelotti or Zinedine Zidane, they have a lot of confidence in the team. Baldano said with a smile, "At the moment the team is playing on three lines, and all three lines are playing well, and the rotation is going well. ”

In addition to the manager's coaching skills, the rotation also tests the depth of the team's bench, and Real Madrid are among the best in the world in this regard, because they are the main stars of other teams even on the bench.

Herrera, for example, has been with Real Madrid for two and a half years now, and this season is in his third season, although he has not been a main player, but he has performed very well, and has even attracted the attention of many La Liga powerhouses.

Is it a substitute and rotation role at Real Madrid? Or to Valencia, Atletico Madrid and other strong teams as the core of the main force?

It was a difficult choice for Herrera.

There is also Di Maria, he has also performed more and more consistently and well this season, and the call to replace Robben is getting higher and higher, so will Real Madrid sell Robben and directly correct Di Maria?

It's just February and it's time to start preparing for the summer transfer.

"Don't worry, Florentino, with Yang Yang's self-discipline and form, I can guarantee that he will be able to play at the Bernabeu for at least another four years, and there will be no problem with that." Baldano said confidently.

But not thinking about it, Florentino asked rhetorically: "Four years? ”

Baldano and Redondo were a little stunned, Yang Yang was thirty-one years old four years later, isn't it right?

Florentino shook his head with a smile and said: "No, not just four years, I want him to play at Real Madrid until he retires, he will become the brightest superstar in the history of Real Madrid, and he will also become the eternal banner of Real Madrid." ”

…………

…………

No one knew that in the chairman's stand, there was an exchange and dialogue between the top leaders of Real Madrid.

Inside the stadium, the game starts right away.

With the Copa del Rey game in midweek, Real Madrid have been playing on two fronts, so Carlo Ancelotti has rotated the squad again.

There were four starters in rotation in this game, and only Yang Yang remained on the court.

Carlo Ancelotti tried to form a midfield with Xavi Alonso and Luka Modric, plus an Isco, in the clear hope of further improving the team's home attack.

But on the contrary, Real Madrid played poorly in the first half, facing a heavily defended Granada, Real Madrid's attack was always difficult to penetrate, and it was slow to get a chance.

After the rematch in the second half, in the 56th minute, Modric sent a wonderful pass, Yang Yang took the ball on the periphery of the penalty area, and after facing three defenders, he decisively cut in, and suddenly shot from a distance and penetrated the goal of Granada.

This goal reminded everyone of a horrible thing!

Once upon a time, the area on the left side of the front of the penalty area, known as the Yang Yang area, in this area, his inward cut is the most threatening, but with the past two years, he has appeared more on the front line, so that many people forget that he is a winger, and the inward cut is his forte.

In the 74th minute, Yang Yang once again pulled to the left side and played a beautiful one-two with Jesse, who came on as a substitute, Marcelo suddenly inserted it and crossed it to the goal, and the right winger Robben followed up and pushed the shot, which was another goal for Real Madrid.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Granada 2-0 at home.

……

In this round, Barcelona hosts Malaga.

It was also 0-0 in the first half, but Pique opened the scoring for Barcelona in the second half, before Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo scored to help Barcelona win 3-0 at home to Malaga.

But the problem is that Messi still hasn't performed.

This further exacerbated the panic throughout Barça, as this has never been the case before.

From Messi's debut to the present, he has never experienced such a low period as now.

Even if there are superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar in charge, everyone at Barcelona still regards Messi as the soul core of the team and the team's number one superstar.

How to help Messi get out of the current predicament has also become a big problem for Barcelona.

In this regard, Barcelona coach Martino said that he has talked to Messi and he believes that Messi can find his form soon.

As for when he will be able to see the all-powerful Messi, Martino said it will take a little time.

Messi is a stuffy gourd, always kept silent to the outside world, and did not answer any questions.

This has led to all kinds of rumors and even rumors outside.

For example, some say that Messi has a falling out with Cristiano Ronaldo, thinking that the Portuguese has robbed him of the right to fire on the pitch, and others think that Messi wants to renew his contract and get a salary increase, and he wants to get a higher salary than the Portuguese.

It was even said that Messi decided to leave Barcelona.

This undoubtedly further exacerbated Barca's panic.
