On the evening of January 24, 2010, at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Before the game, there was silence in the home team's dressing room.

After warming up from the field, the Real Madrid players sat in their positions one by one, all of them looked like they were facing a big enemy, obviously they also attached great importance to tonight's game, but they were somewhat apprehensive.

Malaga is not a strong team, currently ranked 16th in La Liga, with three wins, eight draws and seven losses in 18 games, and the away record so far is eight games, five draws and three defeats, without a win.

It should be said that this is not a strong team, but they defended well, conceding only thirteen goals.

However, there is one statistic that can reflect the tenacity of Málaga very well, and that is their half-time performance on the road, if you only count the points according to the results of the first half of the away game, Málaga are in fifth place, which is quite good.

Such a team is not destined to play well, especially at the Bernabeu, especially since Real Madrid's recent situation is not ideal.

……

"We need to beat Malaga in this game, there's no reason for that!" Benitez said loudly.

The away defeat to Athletic Bilbao put Real Madrid in a very disadvantageous position, and if they lose this game again, it will really deplete the lead over Barcelona and finally give up the league leader position for nothing.

This further pushed Real Madrid into a corner.

At the end of the day, the dilemma that preceded Barcelona's derby of the century will reappear with Real Madrid.

And then there is a distraction from the Champions League round of 16 knockout round, which cannot be lost.

'Malaga is a very tenacious team and we need to be more patient in the game. Jesterdam took Benitez's words and said in a reminding tone, "Especially be aware that the opponent may use attacking tactics. ”

The coaching staff pointed out the usual tactics and routines in Malaga, but no one knows what will happen in the specific game.

Yang Yang sat in his position, looked at his teammates around him, then at Benitez and Yesterdam, and finally at Zinedine Zidane, who had not spoken all this time, and the special adviser to the Real Madrid president has basically stayed with the first team in recent days.

Rafael Benitez has also welcomed Zinedine Zidane to the first team as he has always wanted to find a club legend who can help him manage the dressing room, and Zidane is undoubtedly the ideal choice.

Of course, more often than not, Zidane is like a bystander, after all, he is also a newcomer, and it seems that he should be here to learn something, not to be Benitez's assistant.

Zidane is also very welcome in the dressing room, which is a natural closeness of the players to the players, and Zidane is a very relatable person, so the players in the dressing room like him very much, even the unruly Ibrahimovic.

Yang Yang hesitated, but quickly stood up.

The attention of everyone in the audience suddenly fell on him, and everyone was curious about what he was doing now and what he wanted to say.

"Give me the ball as much as you can!" Yang Yang patted his chest confidently and reassured.

Ibrahimovic also stood up and patted Yang Yang on the shoulder, "And me, anyway, as long as you pass it over, high or low, whatever you want, I don't believe it, in our territory, we can't take them down!" ”

"Give it to me on the right!" Robben also stood up.

"I'll leave you behind!" Arbeloa also stood up, looked at Robben and said.

Mascherano also stood up at this time and looked at Xavi Alonso and Sneijder, "You both try to go up as much as you can, especially you, Wesley, leave the defense in the back to me!" ”

"And me!" Ramos also stood up.

Not to be outdone, Fermaelen pointed to Marcelo, "You go up too, I'm here on your side!" ”

Captain Casillas also stood up a long time ago, patting his palms with thick gloves vigorously, "You can rest assured, I am in front of the goal, and they will never be allowed to score!" ”

Everyone expressed their positions one after another, and each took their own responsibilities, and everyone looked at their teammates around them, and suddenly felt a strong sense of trust, realizing that they were surrounded by trustworthy comrades-in-arms who could trust each other.

"That's it, kill them!" Yang Yang leaned over and put his hands on the shoulders of Ibrahimovic and Sneijder.

Everyone also bent down and bowed their heads, all together, their hands on each other's shoulders, and shouted in unison.

"Kill them!"

…………

…………

"Real Madrid attack on the left."

'Marcelo dribbled the ball in, crossed to the middle and gave it to Sneijder.'

Sneijder went through and handed it to Ibrahimovic.

"The Swedish centre-forward stopped the ball and turned around, distributed the ball to the right and handed it to Robben."

"Let's see what Robben does with this time......"

"Arjen Robben doesn't stop the ball, and he passes the ball directly to the back of the defense......"

"Yang Yang rushed up under the pull of two defenders......"

……

With Málaga centre-back Gonzalez trying to fall to the ground and making a tackle, while their full-back James was pulling Yang Yang's shirt hard behind him, Málaga's goalkeeper Munua decisively dropped the goal......

But Yang Yang was still in the area from the left side of the penalty spot to the small penalty area, one step ahead of everyone, caught up with Robben's cross, and shot directly with his right foot to the inside of the foot.

The ball went almost in a straight line, across the right side of Munoua and into the bottom right corner of the Malaga goal.

1 to 0!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

"Yang Yang! Yang Yang has scored! ”

"One to zero! Real Madrid took the lead, and Yang Yang opened the scoring for the team! ”

"After being attacked by the opponent for ten minutes in the opening game, Real Madrid then launched a series of attacks, but they were never able to break through Malaga's goal, and Yang Yang's third shot of the game finally penetrated Malaga's goal."

"1-0, it was a crucial goal!"

"There's no way for Malaga to keep defending.

……

With Yang Yang's first goal, the situation was completely broken after the game restarted.

Real Madrid began to chase after the victory, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to extend their lead.

Everyone knows that a 1-0 score is the least secure.

Just four minutes later, Real Madrid launched another attack.

Ibrahimovic pulled up to the left and pulled up the defender for Yang Yang, who suddenly appeared in the middle.

Sneijder's through ball was accurately given to the feet of Yang Yang, who ran out of space and was unguarded.

Yang Yang stopped the ball, turned around, and directly pulled out his leg and shot angrily!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！”

"The ball is in again!!!"

"Yang Yang! Unstoppable Yang Yang! ”

"A long-range shot from 25 metres went straight over the head of Munua and into the Malaga goal."

"Two to zero! Yang Yang scored a brace! ”

……

In the end, Real Madrid defeated the visiting Malaga 2-0 at home thanks to Yang Yang's brace.

Barcelona also beat Valladolid 3-0 away from home, with Lionel Messi netting a goal.

As a result, Yang Yang and Messi both scored 16 goals, tied for the top scorer list.

…………

…………

A week later, in the final match of January, Real Madrid took on Deportivo La Coruna away.

The Riazor Stadium is notoriously difficult to play in La Liga, and it can even be said that it can be called a devil's away.

Yang Yang first created a corner kick in the thirteenth minute, Fermaelen headed in the goalkeeper, and after being saved by the goalkeeper, Sneijder picked up the shot and hit it to open the scoring for Real Madrid.

Then it was Yang Yang's through ball on the left side, Sneijder inserted the ball and crossed accurately diagonally to the middle, Ibrahimovic unexpectedly shook the two defenders of the opposing team, and calmly pushed the shot, 2-0.

At the end of the second half, Ramos tripped Deportivo striker Ricky in the penalty area and was awarded a penalty, Ricky himself took the penalty, but only three minutes later, Yang Yang suddenly appeared on the right side, and once he forced the ball down and passed back, Ibrahimovic was unguarded, and he pushed the shot, three to one!

Without a goal, but with two assists, Yang Yang continued his good form again.

…………

…………

Entering February, Real Madrid welcomed their opponents in the 21st round, Espanyol.

Just five minutes into the game, Yang Yang made a foul on the left side of the game, and then took a free kick himself, assisting Sergio Ramos to open the scoring for Real Madrid.

Then, it was Yang Yang who crossed the penalty area diagonally from the left and accurately found the unguarded Ibrahimovic, who hit the goal with a header and was saved by goalkeeper Kameni, and Robben followed up to pick up the leak and hit, 2-0.

After the rematch in the second half, Ibrahimovic suddenly pulled to the left side, grabbed the landing point, and passed back to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang was near the penalty spot and hit a low shot directly from the left side, making it another goal for Real Madrid, 3-0.

In the final stage of the game, it was Sneijder's through ball, Yang Yang started with the momentum, got rid of the opponent's two defenders in a row after getting the ball, rushed into the penalty area, and shook off the attacking goalkeeper Kameni with a pendulum, and calmly pushed the empty goal, 4-0!

Brace!

Another brace!

During this period of late January and early February, Yang Yang completely played his best form.

……

While Real Madrid are hosting Espanyol from Barcelona at their home stadium, Barcelona are at the Camp Nou against Getafe from Madrid.

Lionel Messi opened the scoring after six minutes before Xavi added another in the second half, but Pique and Marcos were sent off after back-to-back red cards, while Soldado converted a penalty for Getafe in the 90th minute.

In the end, Barcelona narrowly beat Getafe 2-1.

And because Yang Yang scored twice in this round, he successfully improved his La Liga goals this season to 18 goals, while Messi was one less goal, only 17 goals, and once again behind Yang Yang.

With Real Madrid's successive victories, the outside world's attitude towards Real Madrid has completely changed, especially the team's defense.

Since the winter break, Real Madrid have played six games and conceded just two goals, including a penalty kick against Athletic Bilbao and a penalty against Deportivo La Coruna.

This also made the outside world start to improve the defensive strength of Real Madrid.
