On the evening of October 5, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.

In the seventh round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Athletic Bilbao.

It was the final game of the round, and before that, Atletico Madrid lost 3-1 at Valencia and Barcelona beat Rayo Vallecano 2-0 at home, giving Real Madrid a chance to finally come back from behind.

The first two defeats in the season have kept Real Madrid in the rankings low, and so far they are only in sixth place, two points away from fourth-place Atletico Madrid, but if they can win Athletic Bilbao in this game, then Real Madrid will undoubtedly counterattack and reach the top four of the league.

Yang Yang's recent form has been red and purple, and he was still entrusted with a heavy responsibility in this game and won the start.

Carlo Ancelotti adjusted the team's tactical play again and continued to face Athletic Bilbao with a 442 lineup.

The goalkeeper is Thibaut Courtois, with Marcelo, Xavi Martinez, Ramos and Carvajal at the back, Hazard, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and James Rodriguez in midfield, and Yang Yang and Suarez up front.

Whether it is the back line or the midfield, it is the area with the most rotation of Real Madrid, and the most important thing for Ancelotti is to take into account Real Madrid's dense schedule, almost two games a week, and if there is no rotation, the players who play iron will not be able to bear it.

But there is one exception, and that is James Rodriguez.

The Colombian players have been getting better this season.

Coming to Real Madrid with a sky-high price of 80 million euros, he was not recognized by the fans at first, because there was no position in the Real Madrid team, and he relied on the forward midfield to play well in the World Cup.

After coming to Real Madrid, Ancelotti adjusted his position, using him more as a right winger, that is, competing with Di Maria, but there were also mistakes, the most serious was the second round against Real Sociedad, Real Madrid's defense was completely broken, but the attack failed to open the situation.

It was James Rodriguez who received a lot of criticism after the game.

There is no doubt that he is a world-class striker, but Real Madrid is not the Colombian national team, so it is impossible to give him a forward position, just like Hazard also played as a striker in Lille, but after coming to Real Madrid, he had to transform into a winger.

What's worse is that James Rodriguez has a very serious problem with him.

As a South American player, James Rodriguez has excellent skills at his feet, but he still plays practically, runs aggressively, and most importantly he has a very clear mind, a big picture, good at controlling the pace of the game, making rational judgments, and being good at passing and organising.

But his problem is that when the ball is not around him, he needs to improve his concentration and level of commitment.

To put it simply, he doesn't have a strong sense of defence, which is a common problem for the vast majority of South American technical players.

As early as when he was playing for Monaco, Ranieri pointed out his problem and urged him to improve, and after coming to Real Madrid, he quickly exposed this problem, and even was completely destroyed by his opponent in the Real Sociedad game.

Surprisingly, however, after the two games between Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid, James Rodriguez quickly bottomed out, becoming more active in training, more committed to the game and more willing to participate in defence.

This convinced everyone that he was a very smart player who knew how to adjust his role.

When Di Maria's form was a little sluggish because of his participation in the World Cup, James Rodriguez suddenly rose to prominence and gradually began to form competitive pressure on Di Maria in the position of right winger.

This also made the Argentine winger very depressed, and finally sent away a killer Arjen Robben, and now he has ushered in a younger, more valuable and more threatening James Rodriguez.

But there is no way, if you want to stay in a team like Real Madrid, even if you are as strong as Yang Yang, you have to go all out.

Ancelotti's successive reuse of James Rodriguez is undoubtedly a wake-up call for Di Maria.

…………

…………

From the start of the game, Athletic Bilbao threatened with a long-range shot, but it was only a bit of trouble as Courtois easily saved the ball and didn't give the opposition a chance.

And just a minute later, Real Madrid fired back.

After receiving a pass from Luka Modric on the right side of the field, James Rodriguez took the ball with his back and flicked it to the right, Carvajal quickly stepped in and quickly sprinted along the right touchline, pulling all the defensive attention away and then suddenly knocking it back.

James Rodriguez followed up and crossed straight to the back post without stopping.

With Suarez in the middle, Yang Yang easily ran to the back point, and with no one to defend, the header hit a far corner.

The ball hits the bottom right corner of the goal, 1-0!

The goal of just two minutes quickly ignited the excitement at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Five minutes later, Real Madrid's midfielder broke the ball, Toni Kroos sent a pass, Yang Yang quickly plugged in, grabbed before everyone, received the ball, and cut inside with the ball to the penalty area.

On the periphery of the penalty area, facing the Athletic Bilbao central defender who was defending all the way, Yang Yang picked two, a dexterous pendulum passed, shook the opponent, cut inside with the ball, and suddenly kicked the goal between the two central defenders.

A powerful volley to the ground directly pumped the ball into the bottom left corner of Athletic Bilbao again, 2-0!

Brace!

Yang Yang was very excited, and with the support of his teammates, he rushed all the way to the bottom of the fan stands on the sidelines to accept the cheers and cheers of the fans.

Subsequently, Real Madrid took full control of the situation on the field.

Towards the end of the first half, in the 41st minute, Real Madrid won a corner kick in front, Modric took a corner kick, Suarez headed a header in front of the point, and scored again, 3-0.

At half-time, Ramos was replaced by Raphael Varane due to injury, but less than five minutes into the second half, Yang Yang retreated to respond and sent a very beautiful and imaginative back-to-back pass.

At that time, he seemed to have eyes behind him, and accurately sent the ball to the feet of Suarez who was sprinting, but the Uruguayan himself was taken aback and hurriedly got up, but failed to hit a high-quality shot, wasting Yang Yang's wonderful pass.

But soon, Suarez sent a through kick, James Rodriguez crossed the middle from the right, Yang Yang easily plugged in, hit a close-range push, and scored a hat trick!

Four to zero!

In the 69th minute, Modric instigated a counterattack after breaking the ball, Yang Yang pulled to the left side of the penalty area, received the pass, passed to the middle from the left, and Suarez stabbed the goal near the penalty spot and scored a brace.

After that, Real Madrid made frequent substitutions, but in the 78th minute, in a corner kick attack, Xavi Martinez's header was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Six to zero!

It's another big four!

The whole Bernabeu stadium is completely crazy!

When Yang Yang was replaced by Jesse, the 80,000-plus fans at the entire Bernabeu stood up and cheered him on loudly, all cheering for his insane form this season.

Yang Yang's senior is happy, Real Madrid won by six goals, is there anything more exciting for Real Madrid fans?

……

After the game, Carlo Ancelotti was very pleased with the performance of the game, believing that the team played at a high level in both attack and defence, which proved that the team is getting better.

As for the wonderful performance of Yang Yang and Suarez in this game, Ancelotti said that both players were very good.

'One of them had a quadruple, one scored a brace, and among the other players, James Rodriguez had two assists, Eden Hazard was also a threat on the left, and Toni Kroos and Luka Modric were solid in midfield with one assist each, so I think they all did really well.

As for how Real Madrid got out of the predicament of the previous rounds, Ancelotti highlighted two points, one is the unity of the team.

Real Madrid have had a lot of stars in and out over the years, some of the world's top stars, but there has always been harmony in the dressing room and everyone is very united, which has been a key factor in the team's success.

The other is Yang Yang, Ancelotti believes that Yang Yang's comeback has allowed Real Madrid to regain its soul.

'If I could, I would have liked him to be on the pitch for the full 90 minutes every game, but we all know it's not realistic, so I need to be smart about his playing time.'

As for this year's Ballon d'Or, Ancelotti said with a smile, "I don't think anyone can receive this trophy except Yang Yang, what do you think?" ”

All the media reporters at the scene couldn't help but laugh.

Who's to say it isn't?

This year is a big year, and in the World Cup, Yang Yang brought the Chinese team to the final, which is the first time in the history of the World Cup final that a team from non-Europe and South America has appeared, which can be called a miracle.

Not to mention in the club, Yang Yang's achievements, let alone exceed, are difficult to catch up.

In this case, if it wasn't him, who else could there be?

If Yang Yang is a little more high-profile, he can basically directly announce that he has been elected early!

……

There has been great success at the competitive level, but there is no ambiguity at the commercial level.

Just one day before Real Madrid played Athletic Bilbao, Forbes USA announced the 2014 list of athletes' brand value.

Yang Yang is once again at the top of the list, his brand value is more than 100 million US dollars, and the specific figure Forbes said that further confirmation is needed, so only a vague base can be given, that is, more than 100 million US dollars.

But this ambiguity does not affect the authority of the list, because in second place is the NBA's James, who returned to the Cavaliers this summer with a brand value of $37 million, the third is golf superstar Tiger Woods, who is worth $36 million, and the fourth is tennis king Federer, who has a brand value of $32 million.

In other words, if you add them all up, you can barely be on par with Yang Yang.

The other two in the top ten in the football field are Cristiano Ronaldo, with a brand value of $17 million, and Messi, with a brand value of $12 million, both of which are far from Yang Yang.

The soaring brand value, coupled with the highlights of the World Cup, and the state of this season, have made Yang Yang's influence continue to increase, and his every move has attracted the attention of the world.
