1112 Singled out Buffon
On the evening of October 23, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.
In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid hosted Juventus.
As soon as the game started, Real Madrid was very active.
The trident of Eden Hazard, Yang Yang and Arjen Robben interspersed with runs up front and had a wide range of movement, while the midfield trio of David Silva, Luka Modric and Mascherano also helped Real Madrid to keep a firm grip on the midfield, while at the back, Carlo Ancelotti used the Spanish centre-back combination of Xavi Martinez Galamos this time.
A big reason is that Carlo Ancelotti wants to use Xavi Martinez to limit Llorente.
Both players are from Athletic Bilbao and have been teammates for many years, so they know each other well, and Javi Martinez is the tallest player in Real Madrid's squad outside of goalkeepers at the moment, so it is fitting to use him to freeze Llorente.
Real Madrid's start was smooth, with Marcelo and Carvajal on both wings being very active, and the team controlling the midfield and possession as they wanted, which forced Juventus to retreat from the start.
After just four minutes, Real Madrid created a chance on the right side of the pitch.
Luka Modric distributed the ball down the right flank and handed it to Carvajal, who was on the back of the attack.
By this time, Robben had already run to the middle, and Carvajal stopped the ball and slid past the defender and immediately crossed to Robben.
Yang Yang just ran outside from the penalty area and raised his right hand to ask for the ball, which confused Juventus' two central defenders, Chiellini and Barzagli, both of whom pressed out at the same time, for fear that Yang Yang and Robben would form a combination.
But just after Robben received a pass from Carvajal, he cut inside, deducted Pirlo, and sent a through ball with his left foot.
The ball passed through the middle of Pirlo and Chiellini, and Yang Yang, who had retreated to the top of the arc of the penalty area, suddenly stopped and changed direction, diagonally behind Chiellini, and after catching up with the ball first, first a sharp stop, and then suddenly accelerated, shaking off the attacking goalkeeper Buffon, and in a small angle, accurately picked up the right foot, and sent the ball into the goal of Juventus.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"Just four minutes into the opening game, Yang Yang took advantage of a small-angle shot to open the scoring for Real Madrid."
"Oh my God, this game is going to be very good."
"Before this, Real Madrid is two wins in a row, and it is a home game, morale is high, while Juventus has suffered two consecutive draws, the current situation is very unfavorable, facing Real Madrid, coach Conte made it clear before the game that his goal is to get at least a draw at the Bernabeu, but from the current point of view, it is very difficult to achieve the goal."
"Robben's straight kick is very beautiful, it can be seen that under the competitive pressure of Di Maria this season, Robben is now doing his best, and Yang Yang's running is very smart, Barzagli and Chiellini were deceived by him and followed, resulting in a small gap behind him."
"It should be said that Yang Yang's shot is very difficult, reflecting Yang Yang's stability and delicacy in technical details, but the key is that his previous off-ball running confused Juventus' two central defenders."
…………
…………
After Yang Yang scored the first goal, Juventus tried to launch a counterattack, but after the restart, Real Madrid quickly stabilized their ground.
In this game, Carlo Ancelotti won Isco, using the core of the midfield David Silva and Modric to partner him, plus Hazard in front, which is a very clear signal that Real Madrid will continue to strengthen their midfield control.
David Silva has also shown his quality and characteristics, compared to Isco, his ability to break through with the ball is certainly not as good, but his combing, passing and organisation of the midfield is obviously a lot higher than Isco, especially in terms of passing speed.
It is precisely because of the combination of David Silva and Luka Modric that Real Madrid controlled the midfield, played more patiently and organized, and allowed Real Madrid to continue to control the advantage on the pitch.
Juventus tried to seize the initiative, but were quickly suppressed by Real Madrid, and the Bianconeri were forced to retreat.
Even in the 31st minute, Real Madrid had a corner kick opportunity, Chiellini hugged Ramos in the penalty area, but because the action was relatively secretive, it was not discovered by the referee and escaped.
But it is not difficult to see from this move that Juventus's player mentality is indeed more impatient.
With Copenhagen and direct rivals Galatasaray, Juventus' situation in the group stage has become more and more embarrassing, and they really have no other means to grab points than to win Real Madrid.
This is also a major feature of the Champions League group stage, whether it is Real Madrid or Juventus, if they want to ensure qualification, they must grab three points from teams like Copenhagen and Galatasaray and step on the opponent.
Juventus drew in the first two rounds, which made the atmosphere in the Bianconeri team very anxious.
Towards the end of the first half, the referee issued a yellow card to Vidal, and the Chilean midfielder fouled Luka Modric unnecessarily, and it was the first yellow card of the game.
In the end, Real Madrid went into the break with a 1-0 lead, and Carlo Ancelotti repeatedly reminded his players to watch out for the second half, and Juventus will definitely do their best to fight back and be vigilant at all times.
At the start of the second half, the Bianconeri did launch a rush to attack, Pogba took advantage of a header to help Llorente create a dangerous situation in front of goal, and at the crucial moment it was Casillas and Xavi Martinez who combined to block the ball.
But Juventus is still looking for opportunities and keeps suppressing Real Madrid.
Six minutes later, Real Madrid's backfielder Javi Martinez sent a long ball into the front of the pitch with precision.
Yang Yang plugged in at high speed, caught up with the ball in the 30-meter area of Juventus, and continued to dribble forward, Chiellini desperately chased back beside him, desperately trying to force Yang Yang to the right side.
But Yang Yang already knew Chiellini's thoughts well, he saw an opportunity, and directly stabbed the ball forward, wanting to pass the ball alone, get rid of Chiellini's entanglement, and enter the penalty area from the right rib.
But just when he was about to accelerate, Chiellini suddenly took advantage of his height advantage and pressed Yang Yang's shoulder with the elbow of his right hand when it was difficult to stop Yang Yang, forcing Yang Yang to be unable to accelerate and start, while he took advantage of the situation to rush forward.
Not only that, but his right hand also had a backward movement, I don't know if he wanted to push Yang Yang away, or if he hit it on purpose, the back of his hand slapped directly and heavily on Yang Yang's nose.
Yang Yang was already about to rush forward, but he was suddenly suppressed by his opponent, and then a sharp pain came from his face, and the whole person screamed after eating pain, and fell directly to the ground, only to feel that the sharp pain in his nose was unbearable, as if there was liquid flowing out.
When he reached out to wipe it, he found that his hands were covered in blood.
Damn, hit the nose!
Yang Yang was half-lying on the ground, tilting his head and trying to raise his chin as much as possible.
Beep!
The referee's crisp whistle reached Yang Yang's ears, but he only saw the brightly lit night sky, and then he heard the Juventus players constantly arguing about something, but the referee's attitude was very clear.
"Look at him, is this a fake?" The referee asked beside Yang Yang.
Pogba, Pirlo and others all came over to care about Yang Yang's situation, they all crossed paths with Yang Yang, or played many games, and after learning that he was fine, they all quickly pushed away.
Real Madrid's team doctor quickly rushed into the stadium and hurriedly dealt with Yang Yang's injury to stop the bleeding.
……
"Oh my God, let's look at the slow-motion replay, Chiellini's move is really dangerous, we can't tell if he did it intentionally or accidentally, but one thing is for sure, he was fouled before he hit Yang Yang."
'The referee looked very resolute and Chiellini was the last defender, which was terrible.
"Red card!"
"We saw the referee show Chiellini a red card, which means that the Juventus centre-back will miss the next round, which is the home game against Real Madrid, which is definitely a terrible blow for Juventus."
"But let's look at Yang Yang, I don't know if his injury matters?"
"He bled a lot, I believe all the fans in front of the TV must be as nervous as me, the weekend is the derby of the century, if Yang Yang is injured in this game, it will definitely be a huge loss for Real Madrid, and it will definitely make the fans who are looking forward to it all over the world feel sad."
"Real Madrid's team doctor is still dealing with it, the live TV camera is on the sidelines, we see that Ancelotti and Zidane are also very anxious, Ancelotti seems to be constantly complaining about something, if Yang Yang is injured, it will be a very big blow to the century derby at the weekend."
"The camera also showed the stands, this is Yang Yang's wife Su Ye, and his children, it seems that they are also very concerned about Yang Yang's injury, as well as the fans at the Bernabeu, Florentino and Baldano in the chairman's stand."
"It can be said that if Yang Yang is lost, then Real Madrid's next visit to Camp Nou will become extremely difficult."
"We saw that the team doctor had packed his things."
"Yang Yang stood up again, and after dealing with it, is it okay?"
"There was a round of applause at the Bernabeu Stadium and it was clear that the Real Madrid fans were relieved."
"Yang Yang's nose is still a little red and swollen, I don't know if I can hold on."
"We saw that Yang Yang waved his hand at Ancelotti on the sidelines, signaling that he could continue, and it seems that he should hold on further."
'It's a free-kick opportunity on the right side of the box and it's more suitable for the left-footed future.
"But Yang Yang seems to want to take this free kick, and everyone should know that Yang Yang has also taken a few left-footed free kicks."
……
The bleeding has stopped for the time being, but the grievances have not yet disappeared.
Yang Yang slowly stepped away and stared straight at Buffon, while Juventus' goalkeeper was also watching him.
It's a heads-up between the two!
It has been said that Gianluigi Buffon is a perfect goalkeeper, he is all-round and has few flaws, and if he has to find it, it is that the success rate of saving penalties is a little less than that of other aspects.
And this time, Yang Yang wants to try it, is this legendary goalkeeper who has ruled world football for more than ten years really so perfect?
He also wanted to tell Chiellini that a foul wouldn't stop him at all!
