After the tenth round of La Liga, Real Madrid ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage in midweek.

Liverpool is once again at home.

At home, Carlo Ancelotti once again rotated the line-up, including David Silva, Eden Hazard, James Rodriguez and other players all started, and Real Madrid also controlled the field very smoothly.

In the 27th minute, Marcelo crossed from the left, and Suarez hit a close-range push to open the scoring for Real Madrid.

In the seventy-first minute of the second half, it was Marcelo's cross on the left side, Yang Yang did not shoot at an angle under the interference of Skrtel and the blocking of goalkeeper Mignolet, so he picked it lightly, and the ball reached the back point, and James Rodriguez followed up with a volley to expand the score to 2-0.

The scoreline was maintained until the end of the game, when Real Madrid beat Liverpool 2-0.

After four consecutive Champions League wins, Real Madrid have basically secured the right to top the group, but Liverpool's situation has become even worse, and the Reds will have to win their remaining two group games if they want to qualify.

And this is also the first time this season that Yang Yang has not scored since his comeback.

The media and fans are very tolerant of this, thinking that Yang Yang has scored in so many games in a row, and it is normal to take a break in this game, and everyone believes that Yang Yang is just adjusting his state.

At the weekend, in the 11th round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Rayo Vallecano.

The day before this game, Yang Yang officially received the European Golden Boot award last season in Madrid, and before the game, Real Madrid also held a brief appearance ceremony, Yang Yang held the Golden Boot Award alone, accepted the applause of the fans and players, and showed all Real Madrid fans the trophy he had just gotten.

This is also a tradition of Real Madrid, but it was relatively rare before, and after Yang Yang joined, it was held almost once or twice a year, because he won too many awards.

When it came to the game, Yang Yang was very active.

Just nine minutes into the opening game, after Yang Yang retreated to meet the midfield, he got rid of the defender and turned around and sent a through pass, Hazard crossed from the left, and Di Maria scored from the edge of the small penalty area to open the scoring for Real Madrid.

Subsequently, Yang Yang also forced a breakthrough with the ball to three opposing players, and was fouled behind by Rayo Vallecano's last defender at the edge of the penalty area, but the referee refused to award a penalty.

Real Madrid defended this, but not strongly.

Everyone knows that this is a referee's enforcement strategy.

Rayo Vallecano itself is not as strong as Real Madrid, and now it is a goal behind, if one more player is sent off, then the game will be completely out of suspense, and may even turn into a massacre.

Professional football itself can be seen as a show, a show that pleases and entertains fans.

However, after 40 minutes, Rayo Vallecano's fitness declined, first Eden Hazard won a corner for Real Madrid, Vermaelen headed it over, and Ramos stabbed home from the back post to score another goal for Real Madrid.

In the last attack near the end of the first half, Rayo Vallecano made a mistake in the midfield's return pass, Modric sent a direct pass, Yang Yang plugged in at high speed, dribbled past the opponent's central defender, formed a single knife and then shook the goalkeeper, calmly scored into the empty goal, 3-0.

In the second half, after the rematch, in the 55th minute, Yang Yang burst into the right side of the penalty area with the ball and passed back, and Toni Kroos scored with a long-range shot from the periphery of the penalty area, 4-0.

Four minutes later, it was Yang Yang who forced a breakthrough on the right side of the penalty area and crossed, Suarez scored from close range, but the Rayo Vallecano players protested against Suarez's offside, and the referee did not accept it and continued to award the goal valid.

And in the seventy-third minute, after Isco, who came on as a substitute, broke through with the ball, he sent a straight pass, Suarez deliberately missed, Yang Yang received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, shook the opponent's central defender and cut inside, and volleyed with his right foot, breaking through Rayo Vallecano's goal again, 6-0!

Two passes and two shots, Yang Yang showed excellent form!

……

At the same time as Real Madrid's six-goal win over Rayo Vallecano, Barcelona came back to Almeria 2-1 away, with Neymar netting the equaliser in the trident and Alba netting a late goal in the game.

It can be seen that the trident and midfield are still relatively sluggish.

If Barcelona is a thrilling pass, Sevilla drew 1-1 at home to Levante, Valencia drew 0-0 at home to Athletic Bilbao, and Atletico Madrid lost 1-2 away to Real Sociedad, which can all be regarded as a loss of points.

Especially Atletico Madrid.

Obviously, in the long-term two-line or even three-line battles, the bench thickness of these teams is not strong enough, and the players are too tired, causing them to be in poor form and eventually lose points.

And after this round, La Liga was suspended, ushering in a two-week national team break.

…………

…………

Since there is no national team competition task, the two-week national team competition for Yang Yang is more about taking a vacation and maintaining his condition, he still insists on training twice a day, but every three days he takes a day off to accompany his wife and son.

Whether he was travelling or walking around Madrid, he also took his family on a trip to Manchester, mainly to visit the Van Gaal couple and Liverpool to visit the Gerrard couple.

But all of this was done in a low-key manner, and it was not published in the newspapers.

While Yang Yang was comfortably enjoying the free break, there was unfortunate news from Italy.

In Croatia's European Championship qualifier away to Italy, Luka Modric played just 23 minutes before going off injured.

According to the preliminary diagnosis of the Croatian team doctor, Modric has a muscle strain in his left leg and is expected to be out of action for three to five weeks.

Real Madrid officials followed up on the report and immediately arranged for the team doctor to follow up on Modric's injury.

But just one night later, the official website of the Croatian Football Association announced that Modric was seriously injured and said goodbye to 2014 completely, and he would have to rest for at least three months.

"After the MRI scan, we found that Modric had suffered a severe muscle strain, with an almost complete tear of the muscles in his left leg, which was very serious, but we did not plan to have surgery on him, but took a more conservative approach to help him recover."

This immediately made Real Madrid extremely nervous, and after Modric returned to Madrid, he was immediately arranged for him to re-undergo a detailed examination, and the final result was unanimous, which is expected to be three to four months.

According to FIFA regulations, because Modric was injured because of his participation in the national team, during his absence, Real Madrid will receive compensation from FIFA, which is expected to reach 1.6 million euros, but this is not for the deep-pocketed Real Madrid, they are more concerned about Modric's injury.

In an interview with the media, Ancelotti faintly accused the Croatian national team coaching staff of having problems with their training, and pointed out that Modric's injury hit Real Madrid hard.

Yang Yangren is in Madrid, and after learning that Modric returned to Madrid injured, he also sent greetings as soon as possible, and personally visited the hospital to encourage him to overcome the illness and return as soon as possible.

Luka Modric is more open-minded, as a professional footballer, playing for Real Madrid is his work ethic, but playing for the national team is his innate calling, but he is confident that he can make a comeback.

One of Real Madrid's best midfielders over the past two seasons, Luka Modric's injury has also raised concerns about Real Madrid's prospects.

…………

On the evening of November 22, in the twelfth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Eibar away.

This was Modric's first game after a serious injury, and the Real Madrid players showed a T-shirt with a message of blessing Modric before the kick-off, hoping that the Croatian midfielder could return from injury as soon as possible.

With a number of players playing in the national team, some even playing two full games in a row, Ancelotti had to rotate and none of the South American internationals were in the starting line-up.

However, Modric's injury allowed Isco to start, and Di Maria and James Rodriguez were replaced by Kevin De Bruyne, and Real Madrid made a significant rotation.

In just twenty-three minutes, Yang Yang scored a beautiful ball from the right rib into the penalty area, Jesse, who was located in the middle, followed up with the volley but missed, the ball bounced off the opponent's defender, Yang Yang followed up and hit the shot, opening the scoring for Real Madrid.

1 to 0!

Before the end of the first half, in the 43rd minute, Carvajal played a beautiful two-one-one with De Bruyne on the right side, and crossed to the front of the penalty area, Yang Yang followed up to grab the point and hit it, expanding the score for Real Madrid, 2-0.

After the rematch in the second half, Real Madrid continued to control the situation on the field and occupied an overwhelming advantage.

In the 69th minute, after Azpilicueta broke the ball in front, Hazard broke through to the bottom line with the ball and returned the pass, and Jesse followed up with a volley to hit it, 3-0.

In the 83rd minute, Eibar central defender Albentosa fought with Yang Yang when he crossed from the right side of the defense, but he took the ball away with his hand, and was caught by the referee, awarded a handball foul, and gave a yellow card and a penalty.

Yang Yang is Real Madrid's number one penalty taker and his career penalty record is 100 shots, but this time, he relinquished his penalty power and handed the ball into De Bruyne's hands.

"This is your chance, Kevin, to let the world see you!" Yang Yang grabbed his hand and encouraged.

De Bruyne didn't know that this was Yang Yang's special care for him, otherwise, with his qualifications, he wouldn't be able to take his turn.

The Belgian nodded excitedly and reached the penalty spot with the football in hand.

Yang Yang's chances are not just penalties, but also Modric's injury.

When the opportunity arises, the key is whether De Bruyne can grasp it himself.

Kevin De Bruyne finally calmly converted the penalty to help Real Madrid win 4-0 away, while Yang Yang performed very well with two shots and one pass, and De Bruyne and Jesus scored one goal each.

The penalty is grasped, but what about the vacuum in the midfield?
