1127 Red card, red card again!
Yang Yang, who had just bought a plot of land in China and was about to invite Norman Foster to build a private museum, returned to Europe and once again appeared in the limelight of major media around the world.
The reason is simple, he won the Marca newspaper voted the best player of last season in La Liga.
This is a traditional award in Spain, hosted by the newspaper Marca, and the award for the best player is called the Di Stefano Award, which is the fourth consecutive year that Yang Yang has won this award, which shows how good his performance in La Liga is.
At the award-winning scene, when the editor-in-chief of Marca jokingly asked him why he wanted to build a private museum, Yang Yang smiled and said that he was inspired by the media, so he has been collecting valuable memorabilia from his career over the years, such as the nets he dismantled with his own hands.
"I think building a private museum will further motivate me and push me to stay fit and competitive, because I have calculated that the awards and championships I have received so far, as well as some of my collections, are not enough to fill that museum, so I need to work harder."
Yang Yang's statement made the award ceremony laugh, is this the biggest benefit brought by a private museum?
After the award ceremony, Yang Yang accepted an exclusive interview with the Marca newspaper and talked publicly about the Blatter storm for the first time.
Yang Yang said that he had received a call from Blatter, in which the FIFA president expressed his apology, and he also accepted Blatter's apology and invitation, saying that he would not refuse to participate in the FIFA awards conference.
As for who can win this year's FIFA Golden Ball Award between himself and Messi, Yang Yang smiled and said that he didn't care.
"Messi is indeed the best and most talented player in the world, and if he wins the award, I think he deserves it, and I will definitely send him my best wishes and congratulations to him as soon as possible."
"How do you say hello? Well, I thought, how many games did I deliberately lose to him in the game? After finishing speaking, Yang Yang laughed.
Media reporters all know that Yang Yang and Messi play football games, and it is said that Messi does not play well and is often abused by Yang Yang, so when they heard Yang Yang say this, they immediately felt funny.
……
In addition to Yang Yang, who won the Di Stefano Award, the Miguel Muñoz Award for Best Coach was awarded to Barcelona's Vilanova, which is more the result of humanistic care, because Vilanova is battling illness and did not even come to the scene.
The Pizzizzi award for the top scorer was awarded to Yang Yang again, because he scored 55 league goals in La Liga last season, while also providing 15 assists, and he alone scored 70 league goals for Real Madrid, which can be described as a big shine.
The Zamora award for best goalkeeper went to Atletico Madrid's Thibaut Courtois, a Belgian who is now one of Real Madrid's goalkeepers to look for, and deservedly won the award after performing so well last season.
The Sala award for the top scorer in the country went to former Real Madrid player Negredo, while the Grusetta award for best referee went to Velasco Carvalho.
……
In addition to Marca's awards, FIFA also announced the goalkeeper candidates for the 2013 Team of the Year selection, with a total of five, namely Juventus' Gianluigi Buffon, Real Madrid's Iker Casillas, Chelsea's Petr Cech, Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer and Barcelona's Valdés.
As it stands, Manuel Neuer is the most likely to be elected, and despite Bayern Munich's Champions League loss, Neuer's performances are obvious to all, and both Casillas and Valdés have been inconsistent.
In addition, FIFA also quickly announced three candidates for the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
The specific selection list is not too surprising, Yang Yang and Messi are the two favorites, and in the battle for third place, Cristiano Ronaldo beat Ribery to make it into the top three.
This has sparked controversy, with many believing that Cristiano Ronaldo is not good enough to make the top three, but Franck Ribery, who helped Bayern Munich reach the Champions League final, is more qualified.
But that's often the case, and after the top three Golden Globes are released every year, no matter who gets in and who doesn't, it will cause controversy.
It's just that this year is less controversial, because everyone knows that whether Cristiano Ronaldo or Ribery are in the top three, it will not affect the final result of the Ballon d'Or, and the real winner will only be one of Yang Yang and Messi.
In addition, the European Sports Media Alliance, which is composed of authoritative European media such as German Kicker Magazine, Marca Newspaper, and Team Newspaper, also selected the best team in European football in November.
Although Yang Yang missed several games due to injury, he was still selected with a high vote, and his partner in the forward line was his close friend Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and the Swedish center forward performed very well at Paris Saint-Germain.
It is worth mentioning that Juventus youngster Paul Pogba was also selected for this squad.

…………
On December 7, the first leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey was played.
As it was away to challenge amateur team Hadiwa, Real Madrid carried out a large rotation, with a full seven rotation players getting starts, and young players such as Morata, Jesus, Ilia Ramendi, and Nacho all qualified to start.
However, Yang Yang's injury has not recovered, and Suarez and other key players have been rested, resulting in a regrettable result of the game, Real Madrid did not perform well on the road, and finally drew 0-0 away.
But everyone can see that Real Madrid's real victory is still on their home turf.
……
In midweek, in the final round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid challenged Copenhagen away.
Denmark in December can be described as icy and snowy, Yang Yang did not follow the team to the away stadium this time, but the climate has obviously affected Real Madrid's performance, causing the players to enter the rhythm slowly.
It wasn't until the 25th minute that Isco passed the ball and assisted Luka Modric to score a world wave.
After the rematch in the second half, Marcelo crossed the penalty area diagonally, and Suarez pushed the goal from the edge of the small penalty area, 2-0.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Copenhagen 2-0 thanks to goals from Suarez and Luka Modric.
But what was really surprising was that in Turkey, Galatasaray beat Juventus 1-0 at home thanks to Didier Drogba's goal in the 85th minute.
Antonio Conte's side played very hard in the game and were clearly hungry for the right to qualify, but in the case of a draw, the Old Lady lost 0-1 on the road, and simply ceded qualification to Galatasaray.
This not only once again confirms the saying that there is no weak team in the Champions League, but also makes people see the weakness of Juventus.
The Bianconeri have a seemingly good lineup, but in reality they are full of problems.
As a result, the group stage was all over, and Real Madrid qualified first, followed by Galatasaray, while Juventus were in third place and were forced to go to the Europa League.
After the game, Conte and Juventus were questioned and became the saddest giants in the Champions League group stage.
……
At the weekend, in the sixteenth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Osasuna away.
Yang Yang has already recovered from injury and returned to the team to train, but Ancelotti still did not put him in the squad for this game.
As a result, Real Madrid were stubbornly sniped by their opponents in the away game, with Osasuna taking the lead in the opening 16 minutes and adding a goal in the 39th minute.
Goalkeeper Diego López, who started in place of Casillas, did not perform well, and both goals conceded were related to him, especially the second goal, because he saved the ball and caused the opponent to hit the follow-up shot.
This also once again exposed Real Madrid's instability in the goalkeeper position.
What made Real Madrid's loss even more painful was that in the 44th minute, Ramos elbowed the opponent while defending, accumulated two yellow cards, and received a red card, which made Real Madrid's situation even worse.
In the 45th minute, Hazard forced a breakthrough with the ball and sent an assist, and Isco volleyed it in.
Real Madrid, who were then missing a man, were in a bad mood in the second half, until the 80th minute, when Isco assisted and Vermaelen headed home the equaliser.
In the end, Real Madrid drew 2-2 away to Osasuna, unfortunately earning their first draw of the season.
Real Madrid's winning streak in the new season ended at fifteen.
After the game, Ramos, who received another red card, was heavily criticised for his defensive performance this season and his performance compared to Xavi Martinez and Fermalen, who even looked more like a big man than Raphael Varane.
In the fan comments of the Marca newspaper, there are even people who support Real Madrid to sell Ramos to Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain in the Premier League for 60 million euros.
For such remarks, Yang Yang took the initiative to stand up, saying that Ramos had apologized in the locker room, which was also accepted by everyone, hoping that the outside world would not put too much pressure on him.
'I know him, so I know he's the kind of player who is fully committed, he's the kind of player who walks on the pitch and walks into the dressing room and you see that everything around you belongs to him, and that's the kind of player who will go out of his way into the game, that's an advantage, but sometimes it can be a disadvantage.
Yang Yang said, "Since we want to have his strengths, then we should also tolerate and accept his shortcomings." ”
'In this world, no player is perfect, including me, there will be all kinds of flaws, players are like that, and so is the team, so we should tolerate each other and sacrifice each other.
Yang Yang appealed for Real Madrid fans to unite and forgive Ramos, who he believes will make Real Madrid stronger.
It's certainly not a good thing to question the team's main centre-back midway through the season and challenge the vice-captain of the dressing room.
Yang Yang also promised that the team will try to be more consistent in the future, and I believe that Ramos will also learn from the experience.
Yang Yang's reassurance has also been recognized by fans and the media, and captain Casillas and head coach Carlo Ancelotti have also spoken out publicly, which has nipped a potential crisis in the bud.
