On the evening of April 20, at the Mestania Stadium in Valencia, Spain.

Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid vs. Barcelona.

When the game reached the 36th minute, Real Madrid broke the ball in the 30-meter area, Kaka took the first step to catch the ball, immediately took it forward, broke free from Xavi's entanglement, and in the arc of the center circle, a straight ball was sent to the feet of Yang Yang.

Yang Yang quickly went straight behind Alves, took the ball and strode forward, competing with Puyol and Pique who were returning to the defense, running all the way with the ball, and approaching Barcelona's penalty area.

……

"Real Madrid's quick counter-attack."

"Yang Yang is very fast with the ball, but Puyol and Pique are not slow to chase back."

After a long run to the periphery of the penalty area, Yang Yang suddenly stopped...... Start ...... again"

……

After a simple emergency stop, he suddenly started, shook off Puyol with speed, brought the ball into the penalty area, and Yang Yang quickly chased after it, caught up with the football before goalkeeper Valdés attacked, and pushed the ball at a small angle on the inside of his left foot, sending the ball to Valdés' side.

Valdés reacted and tried to intercept the ball, but was a beat slower in the end.

The ball passed through the gap between the Barcelona goalkeeper and the left-hand post of the goal and rolled diagonally into the goal.

……

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"In the 36th minute, Real Madrid took the lead in scoring a goal, 1-0!"

"A goal from Yang Yang, another goal from Yang Yang!"

'He's a Barcelona nemesis, he's been able to score almost every time he faces Barcelona.

"And just three days ago at the Bernabeu Stadium, Yang Yang scored a brace to help Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-0."

"I didn't expect that now, it was Yang Yang's goal again, which helped Real Madrid take the lead."

'The situation is quite unfavorable for Pep Guardiola's Barca.

"Since the start of the game tonight, Barcelona has been very passive, although they have possession, but they have never been able to create opportunities, but Real Madrid, counterattack again and again, tearing apart Barcelona's defense again and again."

"Just ten minutes ago, Ibrahimovic made the ball, Robben and Yang Yang quickly counterattacked, Robben crossed from the right, Yang Yang headed the goal from close range, but was saved by Valdés, hit the post, failed to score, we were saying at the time that Barcelona's state in the first half was not ideal."

'Now, Real Madrid have scored.'

"Throughout the first half, Barcelona seemed to take the initiative and possess the ball, but in fact, in terms of creating threats, it was far inferior to Real Madrid, Yang Yang's goal gave Real Madrid the lead, and it was also a punishment for Barcelona's poor form in the first half."

……

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he was so excited that he wanted to rush out of the field, but soon he suddenly remembered something, turned around and rushed to the goal, fished the football out of the goal again, stuffed it directly into his arms, and ran wildly all the way.

Half of the Real Madrid fans at the Mestania Stadium tonight were all frantically chanting Yang Yang's name.

Yang Yang, on the other hand, quickly rushed to the sidelines, rushed to the underside of the stands of Real Madrid fans, and opened his arms towards them.

He felt the tsunami from the stands, he felt the enthusiasm from the fans, he enjoyed it all!

Ibrahimovic, Robben, Kaka, Xavi Alonso......

Real Madrid's players pounced on Yang Yang one after another, all celebrating the goal, and Ramos jumped directly onto Yang Yang's back, shouting above his head, as if he had won the championship in advance.

It was a goal that was long overdue.

As early as just two minutes into the opening minute, Real Madrid was in a quick counterattack, Puyol fouled Yang Yang in the penalty area, but the referee did not make any indications.

From the twelfth minute, Yang Yang led Real Madrid's attack, threatening Barcelona's penalty area and goal again and again, Yang Yang alone fell into the offside trap many times in a row, and then had an anti-offside success, rushed into the penalty area with the ball, and passed to Ibrahimovic in the middle, but the Swedish center missed the empty goal.

This is Ibrahimovic!

He disdains the goal of an empty goal without any technical content.

Then Real Madrid created a threat in a row, and Yang Yang had a header that was saved by Valdés on the post, which was definitely luck to save Barcelona, otherwise, Real Madrid would have scored a goal.

Successive attacks, continuous threats, and finally a goal in the 36th minute.

…………

…………

After seeing Yang Yang run for 50 meters, Benitez pushed the goal from a small angle, and the whole person was so excited that he jumped on the spot, dancing and shouting in celebration.

In this game, he fulfilled Guardiola's wish, that is, to take the initiative from the beginning.

Real Madrid lined up a four-two-three-one double midfielder, with Casillas in goal, Maxwell, Pepe, Ramos and McCone in the back, Javier Martinez and Xavi Alonso in the midfield, Yang Yang, Kaka and Robben in the front, and Ibrahimovic playing as a single striker.

Although it is a double back, Real Madrid still guards very tightly, did not give Barcelona many chances, but created offensive opportunities one after another in the first half, Kaka also performed very well, sending offensive opportunities to his teammates in the front court again and again.

Barcelona's performance in the first half was not ideal, they looked a little tired and out of shape, so they were suppressed by Real Madrid after the opening kick-off, which was also expected by Benitez, who deliberately arranged it in the game three days ago.

Fans who watched the derby of the century will surely notice that the pace of that game was played relatively quickly.

Everyone knows that the fast pace is more taxing on the players.

Benitez is fighting with Pep Guardiola, and it turns out that Barcelona's form tonight is really not ideal, at least the entry into the form is very slow, until now the situation is not fully controlled, and the attack is also very disorderly.

All of this was expected by Benitez.

Now, the most important thing is to try to score one more goal.

When Benitez saw the Real Madrid players rushing to the sidelines to celebrate Yang Yang's goal, he applauded vigorously and shouted loudly to the players, signaling them to continue to cheer and keep up the good work and try to score another goal.

2-0, this game is a sure win.

But Barcelona's ability to sweep the Europa is not a fuel-efficient lamp in itself, so why doesn't Guardiola understand all this?

…………

…………

After Yang Yang scored a goal for Real Madrid, the game restarted, Real Madrid tried to continue to strengthen the offensive, but Barcelona obviously played more conservatively, and the overall defense retreated to their own half, Guardiola even shouted Alves, signaling him to go back to defend and not blindly insert in front of him.

It was Alves, who returned to the defense, in the 41st minute, when Yang Yang had already shaken off Puyol with the ball, but Yang Yang's kick was blocked from the bottom line, and the subsequent corner kick failed to create a threat.

In the end, Real Madrid took a 1-0 lead in the first half with Yang Yang's goal.

Rafa Benitez snatched the start and gave Real Madrid the advantage in the first half, but failed to extend the gains.

And after the rematch in the second half, Barcelona made a decisive effort.

I don't know what kind of magic Guardiola put on this team at halftime, the Barcelona players in the second half were like chickens, playing very energetically, and the state was also very good, not only firmly controlling the situation, but also frequently planning offensive opportunities.

Soon, Benitez made a substitution, Mascherano replaced Robben, and reverted to the back three, allowing Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic to form a double striker, and Kaka to press Busquets.

Real Madrid retreated across the board and adopted a three-back tactic, which made Barcelona's attack hit the iron plate again.

Whether it was last season or this season, Pep Guardiola's team has suffered a lot in front of Real Madrid's defense, and even Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan and Arsene Wenger's Arsenal have learned from Real Madrid the trick of restraining Barcelona.

And despite the best efforts of Pep Guardiola's side, they have not been able to find an effective way to break down Real Madrid's defence.

One of the very interesting phenomena is that as the time of the second half passed, Real Madrid adopted a back three play, but Guardiola never made any changes to the team.

Goalkeeper Valdés, Adriano, Pique, Puyol and Alves at the back, Sergio Busquets in midfield, Andres Iniesta and Xavi in the middle, Villa, Messi and Pedro in front.

This is the starting lineup when they challenged Real Madrid away three days ago, and the day after three days at the Mestania Stadium, Barcelona still uses this style of play, and even in the second half, Barcelona was scoreless, and it was difficult to create a threat, and Guardiola still did not make substitutions.

No one knows what Pep Guardiola was thinking, whether he had completely lost trust in players such as Bojan and Afelai, or if he was expressing his frustration and anger to the management in this way.

The only thing that is certain is that Guardiola did not make any substitutions!

As the clock ticked by, Barcelona had complete control of the ball and Real Madrid were forced to retreat.

After 80 minutes, Barcelona created one last threatening attack, Iniesta and Messi's wall-to-wall combination, allowing Messi to get a chance to kick in the penalty area, but was pounced on by Casillas.

Subsequently, Barcelona significantly slowed down their offensive and tempo.

In the 86th minute, Pep Guardiola made his first substitution of the game, replacing Villa with Afele.

It was also his only substitution of the game.

Real Madrid made a series of substitutions in the closing stage of the game to delay time, and Yang Yang was also replaced by Di Maria in stoppage time.

He scored the only goal of the game and was cheered on by the fans.

Almost all the Real Madrid fans rushed out of their seats, gave Yang Yang the warmest applause and cheers, and sent him off the pitch like a hero.

In the eyes of all Real Madrid fans, this is what Yang Yang deserves.

Even they feel that compared to Yang Yang's performance and contribution, they have not done enough. 8)
