On the evening of January 23, the Mestania Stadium.

In the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid challenged Valencia away.

This is the third matchup between Real Madrid and the Bats in a week.

In the first two games, Real Madrid defeated the opponent 2-0 at home and won the first leg, and then in the 20th round of La Liga away against Valencia, Real Madrid defeated Valencia 5-0 away with Yang Yang's hat trick and an assist, and Di Maria scored a brace.

Losing two games in a row, swallowing seven goals and scoring zero goals, this is simply unacceptable for the Bat Army, so in the last and most important matchup, Valencia coach Valverde threatened to reverse Real Madrid at home, and this time he also discharged a four-two-three-one double back formation.

Real Madrid have won two games in a row, while equalling the record of 17 consecutive wins in the top five leagues set by Inter Milan under Roberto Mancini, and the team's morale is high, and the return to Mestania is also ambitious and determined to win.

After the opening, Real Madrid played very actively, but Valencia, who lost two games in a row, was obviously angry, and moved more and more in the game, causing huge pressure on Real Madrid.

In the thirteenth minute, there was a scuffle in the Real Madrid penalty area, and Arbeloa, who started the game, kicked a volley in a hurry to clear the ball and wanted to kick the ball away, but unexpectedly kicked it on the left hand of Casillas, who was attacking.

After the Real Madrid goalkeeper was kicked, he fell directly to the ground and suffered a serious injury to his left hand.

Carlo Ancelotti had to make a substitution, replacing Casillas with substitute goalkeeper Adan and the captain's armband on Ramos' arm, but this also cast a shadow over Real Madrid.

Arbeloa's accidental injury to his teammate was an accident, but his luck was just too bad.

It was as if luck was taken away by Arbeloa's kick, and then Real Madrid tried hard to create chances, but they never had a chance to score.

In the second half, after the rematch, under Valencia's repeated violations, Di Maria finally became angry, broke through Pereira on the left side, and when he was violated by the opponent's small actions, he kicked the opponent in retaliation, but he didn't kick it, but was shown a red card by the referee Massa and sent off the field.

In one game, two generals were lost in a row, and Real Madrid felt very disappointed.

Not only the players on the field, but also the fans in front of the TV can't help but ask, is Real Madrid's winning streak going to stop there?

……

With one man missing, Real Madrid were forced to go on the defensive.

Valencia began to press aggressively, hoping to take the opportunity to knock on Real Madrid's goal.

However, the centre-back combination of Xavi Martinez and Sergio Ramos was once again impressive, with Cesar Azpilicueta on the left and Arbeloa on the right, as well as Mascherano at the back, to ensure a solid defence.

Since Rafael Benitez took charge, Real Madrid's defence has been polished and adjusted for four years, and it has become very mature and stable, except for the weakness of set-pieces, it is not easy for any team to break through Real Madrid's goal, especially in cup competitions.

Carlo Ancelotti withdrew Xavi Alonso and Luka Modric to the central midfield position, Hazard switched to the front midfield, and Yang Yang was at the front, which formed a counter-attacking formation for Real Madrid, patiently looking for opportunities.

However, Valencia not only have a numerical advantage, but also want to win Real Madrid at home.

Even if you can't win, you must want to eat your opponent and avoid three consecutive defeats.

The two sides attacked and defended, and Valverde's three substitutions were strengthening the attack, especially in the last 80 minutes, replacing Jonas with former Real Madrid teenager Canales, which further strengthened the midfield offensive.

But because of this, in the 88th minute, Real Madrid broke the ball at the back, and seized a chance, Modric sent a diagonal pass and sent the ball behind Valencia with precision.

Yang Yang was like a bolt of lightning, tearing apart Valencia's defense in an instant, but before he could catch the ball, Guaita, who was the first to attack, kicked out of bounds and turned into a throw-in.

……

Xavi Alonso ran to the sidelines and was about to take a quick throw-in, only to be stopped by referee Massa's whistle.

The Spanish midfielder put down depressedly, and then saw Yang Yang waving at him, signaling him not to take a free throw.

Yang Yang pointed to Azpilicueta and motioned for Xavi Alonso to return.

Since Marcelo's injury, Cesar Azpilicueta has been the team's main left wing-back, and he has been consistent and has stood firm, and the attack is really not good, but the defense is solid and very reassuring.

After seeing Yang Yang's gesture, Azpilicueta knew that the front court had to play cooperatively, and the time could not be overthought by Real Madrid, so he immediately ran to the front, stood out of bounds, and wiped the ball in his hand with his jersey.

"Let's make a match." Yang Yang proposed.

"How?" Xavi Alonso asked, gasping for breath.

"The old rule, I'll pull it out first, and then plug it in."

Harvey Alonso touched his nose, they hadn't fought in such a way, and nodded: "Okay, how do you pass it on?" Overhead or mid-low or boccia? ”

"You look at it, whatever the ball is, I can catch it if you pass it." Yang Yang said confidently.

Xavi Alonso gave him a light punch, and without further words, he nodded, and watched Yang Yang run away.

"Hey, hurry up and make a good match." Xavi Alonso clapped vigorously and shouted.

His shout was heard not only by the Real Madrid players, but also by the Valencia players, and they all paid attention.

The throw-in was on the left side of the box, and with Azpilicueta's ability, it was completely possible to throw it directly into the box, and Real Madrid did let Hazard run to this side to pick it up, looking like he was going to play together.

But Azpilicueta took two steps back with both hands behind his head and suddenly threw the ball to Xavi Martinez, who came up from behind, who quickly passed to Xavi Alonso.

Xavi Alonso was in the middle of the box, a little far from goal, but the win was unguarded.

When Xavi Alonso stopped the ball, he immediately took a step forward, and was about to kick the goal directly, which scared the Valencia players to come up and block, and at this time, Yang Yang in the front penalty area suddenly retreated and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

The two centre-backs, Ricardo Costa and Lamy, are in front of each other, with Rami in charge of keeping up and Costa in charge of dragging behind.

After Xavi Alonso made a direct long-range shot, he seemed to suddenly change his mind, pulled the ball to the middle, saw the timing, and directly made a low pass in the direction of Yang Yang.

At the top of the arc of the penalty area, after Yang Yang brought out Lamy, it looked like he was going to pick up Xavi Alonso, but he suddenly turned around and sprinted forward, reversing the penalty area, and the speed was very fast.

Xavi Alonso has partnered with Yang Yang for many years, and the two have already formed a tacit understanding, and this low ball was sent over, which happened to be on the line of Yang Yang's anti-entry penalty area, but he could only use his chest to stop the ball.

Ricardo Costa, who was dragging behind him, also rushed forward to intercept as soon as possible, but Yang Yang took the first step and stopped the ball forward with his chest, avoiding Ricardo Costa and allowing the Valencia central defender to make a save.

Goalkeeper Guaita didn't dare to attack, because Yang Yang stopped the ball on his chest at the top of the arc of the penalty area, he knew Yang Yang's speed and ability to stop the ball very well, once he attacked, it was difficult to catch up.

Yang Yang caught up with the ball on the right side of the penalty spot, easily formed a single knife, and then a feint seemed to hit the near corner, deceiving Guaita to stand to the right, but the result was a sweep on the inside of the right foot, sending the ball to the left foot.

Rami chased all the way back, even sliding, trying to intercept Yang Yang's shot, but in the end he was still a beat slow.

The ball crashed into the bottom left corner of Valencia's goal, 1-0!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！”

"In the eighty-ninth minute, Real Madrid finally broke through Valencia's goal, and with one less person than the opponent, it took a one-goal lead, and the hero of the attack was Yang Yang!"

When the whistle blew for the goal, Yang Yang had already rushed out of the stadium and rushed directly to Xavi Alonso, and the whole person jumped onto the Spanish midfielder, celebrating the goal together.

Real Madrid's players also surrounded them from all sides.

It was a team throw-in, but in reality, it was only Xavi Alonso and Yang Yang who played a key role.

Xavi Alonso's pass was beautiful, while Yang Yang's stop and final kick were exciting enough and calm enough.

Being able to defeat Valencia with one less person than the opponent, relying on tenacious defense and Yang Yang's lightning strike, is undoubtedly the best result for Real Madrid.

……

Although Valencia played with their might in the final minutes, they were unable to find the back of the net against Real Madrid.

After losing three consecutive matches, Valencia even scored eight goals and scored zero goals, which is a great shame for the always arrogant Bat Army.

Yang Yang, on the other hand, scored in three consecutive games to help Real Madrid win the 33rd consecutive game.

This winning streak is also setting a new Guinness World Record.

But regrettably, in the dressing room after the game, Real Madrid received a notification from the team doctor that Casillas had a fractured left hand and would be out for at least a month and a half.

The sad news made the Real Madrid dressing room gloomy again, as Marcelo had just returned to training and Pepe had not yet returned, resulting in Casillas being injured again.

Real Madrid's squad has not played a full game since this season, and if it weren't for Cesar Azpilicueta and Xavi Martinez's impressive performances at left wing-back and centre-back, they would have been less fortunate.

But even so, Casillas is injured and suspended, what will Real Madrid do next?

Who will guard the goal for the team?
