October 2, Barcelona Cornea Stadium.

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

Although it was an away game, Real Madrid played a strong offensive at the beginning, and in the seventeenth minute, in a counterattack, Yang Yang received David Silva through the plug, forced a breakthrough from the left side and passed diagonally, Ibrahimovic scored a single goal in front of the goal, opening the scoring for Real Madrid.

The Spaniard then stepped up defensively, especially in terms of physical confrontations.

Although they and Barcelona are rivals in the same city, their attitude is still very consistent when facing the big enemy of Real Madrid.

It wasn't until the second half that Real Madrid scored again, McCone received a pass from Robben on the right side, and burst into the outside of the penalty area with the ball to pass directly, and Ibrahimovic volleyed into the far corner of the net from the right side of the penalty area, 2-0.

Yang Yang was closely watched by the Spaniard throughout the game, but he used his tugging to draw the attention of the defence and create more chances for his teammates.

In the eighty-second minute, it was Yang Yang who took the ball on the left side, faced defender Flynn one-on-one, after a light feint, suddenly smashed the ball and forced a breakthrough, Flynn couldn't stop it at all, seeing Yang Yang burst into the penalty area with the ball, crossed low to the back point, and Robben who followed up easily pushed into the near corner, three to zero.

In the 89th minute, after the Spaniard's steal in the penalty area, he was pressed by Real Madrid's high pressure, and there was a mistake in the return pass, and Ibrahimovic took the lead to score a hat trick.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Espanyol 4-0 away with Ibrahimovic's hat-trick.

……

When Real Madrid traveled to Espanyol, Barcelona also travelled to challenge Sporting Gijón away.

The final result was that Barcelona scored the only goal in the 11th minute through left wing-back Adriano, but at the cost of Abidal, who has been performing well in the centre-back position recently, went off injured.

It was Barcelona's sixth wounded in recent times.

After the game, neither the Catalan media nor the media close to Real Madrid said anything about the game, focusing instead on the injury crisis facing Barcelona.

Abidal's injury is a biceps femoris strain in his right leg and is expected to be out for a week or 10 days, which is not serious, but he is the seventh injured player for Barcelona so far this season and the fifth in the last 23 days.

But none of that is a problem, the point is that the injuries of these Barcelona players are all from the same kind of injury, which is muscle strain.

Winger Alexis Sanchez, who has just joined Barcelona, has suffered a biceps femoris muscle in his right leg and is out for eight weeks; Andres Iniesta suffered a biceps femoris strain in his left leg and was out for four weeks; Afelai ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in training and is out for six months; Cesc Fabregas suffered a biceps femoris strain in his right leg in training and is out for three weeks.

Today, plus an Abidal.

Everyone knows that most muscle injuries come from fatigue, and Barcelona are aiming for a three-tier battle this season, with a very heavy task to play, but Pep Guardiola's first-team squad is not sparse.

Barca's team doctor, Pluna's ability, was questioned, but he defended himself, saying: "In a club like Barça, where the game is very heavy, the current injury situation is absolutely within the normal range. ”

Pruna appealed to everyone not to make a fuss and said that the work of the team doctor team was doing a good job.

Outside media speculated that Barcelona's large-scale injury was related to the team's summer training, Pluna denied it, but did not come up with a convincing statement, Barcelona President Russell also said that the injury itself is part of football, and also denied that the team's summer training affected the players, which in turn caused a large number of injuries.

Pluna also specifically showed that UEFA's research data shows that each team will have 20 to 25 injuries every season, half of which are related to leg biceps injuries, and Barcelona's situation is still within the normal range.

But soon some Catalan media asked rhetorically, six cases in two months may not be outrageous, but there have been four cases in a row in 23 days, resulting in the urgency of the first team's employment, is this not enough to attract attention?

Another very interesting phenomenon is that several players who missed the team's summer training did not suffer injuries, such as Messi, who is the most vulnerable to opponents, but this time he managed to block the wave of injuries.

Barcelona's large-scale injury has not brought any substantial benefits to Real Madrid, but if you look at the big picture, the opponent suffers such a large-scale injury, which will undoubtedly make Barcelona make mistakes in the next schedule, and may even lose points in a row, which is Real Madrid's best chance.

And the problems that arise in Barcelona's summer training are also worthy of Real Madrid's vigilance.

…………

After playing the seventh round of La Liga, it was a two-week international break.

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

On October 6, the national team ushered in a warm-up match, China defeated the United Arab Emirates 2-1, Sun Xiang and Gao Lin scored a goal each.

Five days later, the Chinese team ushered in the third opponent of the World Cup qualifiers at home, successfully defeated Iraq 1-0, and Yang Yang scored a goal at a critical moment to help the Chinese team win three consecutive group games.

It can be said that after winning Iraq, the Chinese team basically stepped into the top 10 with one foot.

……

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

In the eighth round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Real Betis.

Due to the long journey, Yang Yang did not appear in the starting lineup for this game, but in the first half, Real Madrid still had no points and played very hard.

This is also a problem faced by many teams of international players, Real Betis after two weeks of recuperation, but Real Madrid's international players are running back and forth, some even thousands of kilometers.

At halftime, the 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, thirty-six seconds later, Marcelo made a long pass, Yang Yang inserted it at high speed, burst into the left rib of the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic easily pushed the empty goal on the edge of the small penalty area, 1-0.

In the 59th minute, it was Yang Yang who took the ball on the left side, one against two, and used his personal ability to take the ball out of the sideline under the bag of two defenders, and successfully passed low to the middle, and Kaka scored near the penalty spot, 2-0.

In the 69th minute, Real Madrid made a long pass to the penalty area, the Real Betis defender cleared the ball with a header, Yang Yang burst into the penalty area, and in the face of the three defenders, he decisively chose a horizontal pass, Robben volleyed from 12 meters, 3-0.

Although there were no goals, the entire Bernabeu stadium was chanting Yang Yang's name.

As the most football-savvy football fan in the world, Real Madrid fans know better than anyone the contribution that Yang Yang has brought to this team.

Even they can't imagine what Real Madrid would be like if there was no Yang Yang?

Will Real Madrid still be Real Madrid?

Subsequently, Ibrahimovic scored two goals in the 70th and 73rd minutes respectively from Robben to help Real Madrid extend the score to 5-0, while the Swedish center also scored a hat-trick in two consecutive games, scoring more goals than Yang Yang.

Ibrahimovic also knew very well in his heart that Yang Yang was deliberately creating him.

Because since the beginning of this season, he has been negotiating with Real Madrid to renew his contract, but he has never negotiated, and continuous goals can undoubtedly greatly increase his bargaining chips.

……

In the stands of the Real Madrid president, Florentino, Manuel Redondo and Baldano were also watching the game.

Zinedine Zidane worked as an assistant to Carlo Ancelotti and appeared in the home team's dugout, but it didn't seem like he was a man who kept to himself, and from time to time he would walk out of the dugout and shout something at the players on the pitch.

This made Florentino and others very happy, because Real Madrid knew very well that sooner or later Zidane would become the head coach of Real Madrid, which was the long-cherished wish of the President of Real Madrid, he hoped to create a star team from the head coach to the players, all of them were superstars, Zidane was the head coach he personally selected, and Yang Yang was the core of his hand-picked humerus.

"Ibrahimovic has scored two hat-tricks in a row, and Yang Yang has five assists in the last two games." Florentino couldn't help but smile when he said this, "He has more assists than goals now." ”

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

"He's helping his good brother." Florentino laughed.

He has no objection to Yang Yang's approach, and even he appreciates it, because it means that Yang Yang is a person who values feelings, and such a superstar is undoubtedly the most reassuring, as long as you treat him well and treat him sincerely, then he will pay you back a thousand times and fight for you unconditionally.

The next stage of the Real Madrid coach's bench belongs to Zinedine Zidane, and maybe one day in the future, it will belong to Yang Yang.

"It's probably not just that." Baldano took over, "Did you find it, Messi scored another brace in this game, he has scored ten goals so far, but there are few assists, and Yang Yang is the opposite, he scored eight goals and assisted nine. ”

Florentino and Redondo were clever men, and it was immediately clear when they heard it.

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

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, last season Messi had more assists and fewer goals, while Yang Yang, on the contrary, scored more goals and had a lot fewer assists, so this season they are the opposite, Yang Yang began to pay attention to assists, and Messi paid attention to goals." Baldano couldn't help but laugh as well.

It's a blessing to be able to see two of these top stars competing at the same time.

Yang Yang and Messi's peerless fighting style is even more exciting than Cruyff's fight against Beckenbauer, because Yang Yang and Messi are both attackers, and although Beckenbauer is all-round, he is not a scorer in the end.

Compared with goals and assists, Yang Yang and Messi are both the kind of people who don't accept failure, and they both have competitive genes in their bones, and they are estimated to have both!

Just Ibrahimovic......
