On the evening of September 12, at the El Prat Stadium in Barcelona.

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

Although Yang Yang only played one game in the national team, this game was still put on the bench by Benitez.

Kaka is still training intensively due to a groin injury that has not fully healed, so the club communicated with the Brazilian national team to let the Brazilian superstar stay in Madrid to continue his rehabilitation, so he qualified for the start of this game.

Xavi Alonso and Las Diarra formed a back two, Guti and Arjen Robben formed the wings, with Gonzalo Higuain in charge and Ibrahimovic also on the bench for playing two games in a row for the national team.

At the back, Vermaelen and Metzelder made their first start of the season, with Maxwell and Arbeloa on the flanks and Casillas in goal.

Even at Real Madrid, Benitez still sticks to the tradition of his time at Liverpool and resolutely rotates.

The intention was not to look down on the Spaniard, but to see an away Champions League game in midweek.

Although the opponent Zurich is not a strong team, Real Madrid will not have much problem winning away from home, but the appropriate rotation is still more conducive to Real Madrid's multi-front operation, and it can also boost the morale of the bench players.

……

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid played a little hard.

Las Diarra and Xavi Alonso have not cooperated before, and they are still relatively unfamiliar with each other, not as tacit as Mascherano, and the Spaniards are pressing fiercely, Real Madrid is a little passive on the field.

Kaka and Arjen Robben were both closely watched by their opponents, Guti was not excited enough on the wings, Real Madrid's attack was a little difficult to open up, and the Spaniard, who seemed to play more smoothly, was quite lacking in the final goal, and wasted a few good chances in the first 30 minutes.

At critical moments, the flash of the star determines the outcome of the game.

Kaka was the heart of the game for Real Madrid, opening the scoring with a corner, but Metzeld's header went wide, and then in the 18th minute, a clever chest stop, Kaka passed the ball to Maxwell, and the Brazilian fired a shot saved by goalkeeper Kameni.

Then, Kaka took the initiative to find Xavi Alonso and Guti to link, and after a succession of one-two in the middle of the midfield, Kaka crossed to the right at the edge of the penalty area, and Robben curled a left-footed ball into the goal.

Real Madrid went into the break with a one-goal lead in the first half.

After the rematch, Real Madrid quickly seized on the weaknesses exposed by the Spaniards in the first half and began to suppress the Espanyol midfielder de la Pena, which made Real Madrid start to play more easily.

In the 74th minute, Kaka cut inside on the left side of the penalty area, deducted the defender and then passed back, providing an almost perfect assist for the unguarded Guti, and the Spaniard directly pushed the ball to the next goal for Real Madrid.

With two assists in a row, Kaka's flash completely changed the game.

……

Yang Yang was also very happy to watch off the field.

He and Kaka are now neighbors and friends, and he is really happy to see Kaka shine on the court.

"If it weren't for the groin injury, he could have performed better than he has now." Yang Yang praised with a smile.

Although the two have won the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, Yang Yang sincerely recognizes Kaka's strength, and he believes that Kaka can definitely become the best midfielder in the world if he can recover his health.

At the very least, in today's game, he seems to see the demeanor of the former Brazilian golden boy.

Ibrahimovic also has a good impression of Kaka, the Brazilian player is kind and humble, and it is difficult to dislike, even if he is as rebellious as Ibrahimovic, he has a good impression of him.

Benitez was quick to make a substitution.

Raul replaced Higuain, and the Argentine striker did not perform well in this game.

Then Yang Yang replaced Kaka.

When the two handed over on the sidelines, Yang Yang specially hugged Kaka and praised him for his outstanding performance on the court today.

The Brazilian also seems to be in a good mood, and he has been stepping up his training recently, and he has made an appointment with Yang Yang every morning, and came to the Valdebebas training base early to practice, and the two can be regarded as sharing weal and woe together, fighting side by side.

The handover of the two superstars, even on the road, was still applauded and cheered by the Espanyol fans.

After Yang Yang came on the field, Guti served as the front midfielder, and soon sent Yang Yang a wonderful pass before the game was about to end.

Yang Yang's purpose in this game was to move his muscles and bones and maintain his condition, but he didn't expect that Guti kicked straight and tore apart the Espanyol's defense, while Yang Yang was easily offside successfully, formed a single knife after receiving the ball, and sent the ball into the goal from between Kameni's legs, 3-0!

This time, Yang Yang really felt the delicate passing of the golden wolf Guti, which can be called a scalpel, which was really very comfortable and quite accurate, and caught the slightest imperceptible hole in the opponent's defense.

The stronger the teammates, the more opportunities are created, so much so that Yang Yang, who never thought about scoring goals, is difficult to score goals, which can be regarded as a happy trouble!

But on the other hand, it also reflects the disparity between the strength and weakness of the La Liga league, the Spanish Super League and other teams are obviously not at the same level, maybe the occasional upset is okay, but if you want to shake the foundation of the two giants, it is difficult!

It can also be said that Real Madrid's real opponent in La Liga is only Barcelona.

In a way, the derby of the century will decide who wins La Liga.

……

With the goal he "picked up" against Espanyol, Yang Yang caught up with Getafe's Soldado with three goals.

The former Real Madrid academy striker scored a hat-trick in the opening round of the league but was dumb in the second round.

In addition to the three goals of Yang Yang and Soldado, Valencia's David Villa and Sevilla's Luis Fabiano both scored two.

Among them, Barcelona challenged Getafe away in this round, and Messi and Pedro's goals helped Barcelona successfully take away three points from Madrid.

After two rounds, only four teams in La Liga have won two in a row, Real Madrid at the top of the table, and Barcelona in second place, with Valencia and Athletic Bilbao in third and fourth.

…………

On the evening of September 15, Zurich, Switzerland.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid challenged Zurich away.

In the 89th minute of the game, Yang Yang forced a breakthrough with the ball on the left side, and when he tried to wipe out Zurich midfielder Egert, the latter suddenly tripped him.

The referee was able to give a yellow card and gave Real Madrid a chance to take a free-kick in front.

Yang Yang grabbed Sneijder's hand, got up from the ground, and glanced up at the scoreboard.

2-3, international convention, the home team in front, the away team in the back.

Real Madrid are leading for the time being, but the situation is still precarious.

……

In this game, Benitez still rotated the team.

Mascherano and Gago form a back two, which is obviously a test as Zurich are not strong enough to give Xavi Alonso more time to rest.

In the first half, the team played smoothly, Yang Yang opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 27th minute, and it was his friend Sneijder who assisted him, followed by Sneijder's diagonal pass, Yang Yang's header was ferried, and Ibrahimovic volleyed the goal to extend the score.

In stoppage time, it was Sneijder's kick that went straight to the right rib, and after Raul received the ball, he stopped and broke through the opponent's defense, calmly volleying and hitting to rewrite the score to 3-0.

It looks like this will be another massacre.

Zurich's head coach Zaraldes probably thought the same way, so at halftime, he replaced two attacking players, including striker Hasri, to strengthen the team's defense in the midfield.

Unexpectedly, after the rematch in the second half, in the 64th minute, Alphonse rushed into the Real Madrid penalty area with the ball during a counterattack, Casillas tripped him, the referee awarded a penalty, and the Real Madrid goalkeeper also received a yellow card.

Just a minute after the penalty was taken, Feng Lantang took a corner from the left, the central defender leaked, and Egert nodded the ball in front of the goal.

Two to three!

The situation has turned around, from the original three-goal lead to the current one-goal advantage, and Real Madrid began to fluctuate.

Benitez made a series of substitutions in an attempt to stabilize the team, but Zurich kept their defence firmly organized and repeatedly waited for opportunities to counter-attack.

Neither side was able to create better scoring opportunities until the 89th minute, when Yang Yang changed speed on the left side this time and was tripped by Egert, and the referee gave a yellow card and a free kick in front.

……

This is a chance!

Yang Yang took a deep look at the scoreboard, and thought to himself in his heart.

As long as this goal is scored, the game is completely over.

He took the ball as he could, put it in his arms, wiped it lightly with his jersey, and gently placed it on the soft turf, and after stepping on the turf around him, he slowly stepped back.

Zurich put up a human wall, and Real Madrid's players were ready to burst into the box at any moment.

After Yang Yang glanced at the situation, he closed his eyes, silently adjusting his breathing and thoughts, he tried to calm himself down, and gradually found the feeling of that little free throw.

When the referee blew the whistle again, Yang Yang suddenly opened his eyes.

All the fans in the stadium, all the viewers in front of the TV, seemed to hold their breath at this moment, watching him intently.

I saw Yang Yang jump out quickly, step on a solid step, come to the ball, stand still with his left foot, and kick out quickly with his right foot, the whole process is as smooth as flowing water, all in one go.

The ball flew out quickly, in an elegant arc, around the head of the high wall, and then plummeted into the goal guarded by Zurich goalkeeper Leoni with a strange twist.

Four to two!

It's a win!
