At the beginning of September, it was a two-week international break.

With the retention of Queiroz, the national team has started a new round of the World Cup cycle, and the two warm-up matches in September were mainly based on domestic internationals, and there was no call-up of European international players.

But during this period of time, Yang Yang did not rest, but devoted himself more diligently to training.

He still trains as usual, taking two training sessions a day and training for six hours, desperately hoping that he can return to the field as soon as possible.

Ace and Marca have also published the news of Yang Yang's training in Valdebebas on important pages, saying that he is now holding back his energy and wants to play like crazy, and the two newspapers close to Real Madrid have said that Yang Yang's playing time is likely to be in the third round of La Liga, at home against Atletico Madrid.

"The derby in the same city, there is no room for mistakes, Yang Yang is in excellent condition, and Ancelotti has no reason not to use him."

Marca also revealed that Yang Yang's delay in playing in the new season is not only concerned by the media and fans, but also by Real Madrid's internal management, and even sponsors such as Nike and Adidas are also very concerned, and they are all looking for Real Madrid for a reasonable explanation.

"The pressure from all sides is likely to make Ancelotti compromise and let Yang Yang return to the game as soon as possible."

However, after two weeks of international breaks, when many internationals returned to Madrid for the weekend's home game against Atletico Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti officially announced the team's squad for the game.

To the shock of all the media and fans, even within Real Madrid, Yang Yang was once again absent from the squad!

Ancelotti was interviewed by the media at a press conference, saying that he had no problems or contradictions with Yang Yang.

'Yang Yang is fine and there are no problems, but we still want to use this week and the next week to make sure he is fully fit and can get back to his best, so I didn't put him in the squad for tomorrow's game and it will be the same in the Champions League next week.'

There was an uproar in the press conference hall.

This is a city derby, Atletico Madrid is still an important opponent of Real Madrid to win the championship, and Yang Yang is not even allowed to play such a game?

A reporter from Ace Daily asked Ancelotti on the spot whether there was a conflict between him and Yang Yang?

Ancelotti's attitude is still very calm, and he said with a smile that he is a fan of Yang Yang.

"I repeat again, I don't have any contradictions with Yang Yang, we have worked together for three years, this is one of the most enjoyable collaborations in my coaching career, he is also the highest level player I have ever worked with, even now, I can still say that he is a player that any manager dreams of, including me, and I have no reason to give up on him."

'But sometimes we think about things and make decisions that we need to think about from the perspective of the whole season.

As for the loss of Yang Yang, whether Real Madrid has confidence in playing Atletico Madrid, Ancelotti said that there is no problem.

But as it turned out, he was wrong!

…………

…………

On the evening of September 13, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.

Just ten minutes into the game, Koke took advantage of a corner and Thiago headed in from close range to open the scoring for Atletico, who still had serious problems defending their corners.

This has been a problem for many years.

In the 26th minute, Eden Hazard drew a penalty when he cut inside on the left and the Belgian winger equalised the scoreline with a penalty that sent them back to the same line 1-1.

Real Madrid dominated the whole game, controlled the ball and rhythm on the field, and created a lot of opportunities, but whether it was Suarez, Di Maria, Hazard, or substitutes Jesus, James Rodriguez and other players, they were obviously lacking in seizing opportunities, resulting in Real Madrid not being able to attack for a long time.

In the 76th minute, Juanfran made a low cross from the right, Raul Garcia missed in front of the post, and the unguarded Turan at the back post inserted a low shot to score again.

1-2, Real Madrid is behind at home!

At this moment, the entire Bernabeu stadium panicked!

Countless Real Madrid fans got up from their seats and loudly accused Ancelotti, more and more fans were chanting Yang Yang's name in unison, and the live broadcast camera facing the world was also given to Yang Yang in the stands.

He wore a crisp Real Madrid suit and watched the game with all the players who were not in the squad, his face full of helplessness.

He couldn't play, and he couldn't do anything.

Even in the final stage of the game, there were faint fans who were angrily shouting to replace Ancelotti.

In the past three years, under the coaching of Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid has won the treble twice, including a Grand Slam, and it is very likely that they will win the Grand Slam again this season, which can be said to be an extremely rare meritorious coach in the history of Real Madrid.

But compared with Yang Yang, Real Madrid fans are obviously more inclined to Yang Yang.

In the end, Real Madrid lost 1-2 at home to Atletico Madrid.

It was only at this moment that everyone suddenly discovered that Real Madrid's players were discharged, and each of them was a well-known superstar.

Suarez, Di Maria, Hazard, David Silva, Luka Modric, James Rodriguez......

When Yang Yang is in charge, they are often able to play at the top level in the world, but after Yang Yang is absent, they have completely become leaderless on the court and cannot gather to form combat effectiveness.

'For the last two or three years, Real Madrid have been the youngest team in European football and all of us have been amazed at what they have achieved and think that this group of young people is outstanding.

"But tonight, we suddenly realized that they were still too young to be ordered to turn the tide."

"In the past few years, Yang Yang has always been able to stand up in key battles, which is not accidental, but an inevitability, because in the Real Madrid team, except for him, no one else has such strength and temperament."

"It can be said that the success of Real Madrid's rejuvenation is not because of the management, nor because of the coaching staff, but because they have one player in the team, and that is Yang Yang!"

"When Yang Yang is absent, what we see is the Real Madrid team against Atletico Madrid, playing without a clue and panicking when encountering difficulties, isn't this a typical characteristic of a young team?"

Alfredo, editor-in-chief of the newspaper As, said that it was not irrational for Bernabeu fans to shout about sacking Ancelotti.

"There are not many managers in European football with Ancelotti's coaching level, but there are a few, but in world football, there are players who can replace Yang Yang, no!"

……

Losing 2-1 at home to Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid was under tremendous pressure.

Even the highly praised new signings James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos in the previous game have encountered a flood of criticism and accusations after this game, especially the Colombian who joined for 80 million euros, and was labeled as a parallel import, thinking that Real Madrid's 80 million was lost.

Yang Yang also took the initiative to give an interview to the media after the game, and on the one hand, he regretted the team's defeat.

'I can understand the feelings of the fans, I know that Real Madrid haven't lost to Atletico for many years and they want to continue that performance, but I also want them to understand that sooner or later there will be a day when they lose, and I hope they continue to believe in the team.'

After three rounds of play and two losses in the new season, Yang Yang said that this is not a problem.

'I think it's too early to say who the title will be because the league has just started and I'm sure we'll be able to catch up very quickly.'

For the players, Yang Yang said that everyone did their best, because of the impact of the World Cup, coupled with the intensive schedule, and the two-week national team competition, many players are running thousands of kilometers back and forth, and it is understandable that they did not perform well.

"Of course, if we lose, we have to find the reason from ourselves, and it is not okay to blindly blame objective factors, because Atletico's players also travel long distances, but they performed well, so we must have problems ourselves."

Yang Yang expressed regret that he could not play, but he respected the head coach's arrangement.

'I didn't have any problems with the manager, I went to him and I thought I was ready, but he didn't think I had it yet, so I just sat in the stands and it was as simple as that!'

Yang Yang's interview was also quickly interpreted by the media, on the one hand, because Yang Yang rarely accepts interviews, and this time he took the initiative to be interviewed to put pressure on the coaching staff and return to the game as soon as possible.

But on the whole, Yang Yang is still relatively restrained and does not mean to offend the coaching staff.

Marca newspaper commented that Ancelotti should reconsider the way he treats Yang Yang!

And the news from Europe revealed that Paris Saint-Germain in the French Ligue 1 and Manchester City and Manchester United in the Premier League have all moved their hearts, if Yang Yang and Ancelotti have a falling out, it is equivalent to giving them the opportunity to enter, they are willing to pay a huge transfer fee for Yang Yang to let him leave Real Madrid!

As soon as the news was reported by the media, it immediately caused an uproar in Madrid.

In the midweek home game against Basel, Switzerland, countless fans in the stands played "Defend Yang Yang!" The banners and slogans even said that they wanted Yang Yang, not Ancelotti, and made it clear that they wanted to protect Yang Yang to the end.

Although in this game, Real Madrid beat Basel 5-1, but after the game, Real Madrid President Florentino came forward to say that all the debates about Yang Yang should be over.

"Past, present, and future, he's the most important player in our team!" Florentino said with great certainty.

As for Ancelotti's hiding Yang Yang, the Real Madrid president said that he is understanding the situation, "I talked to Yang Yang, and he also understands the way the coaching staff handles it, but he still wants to play, and the team also needs him to return to the game as soon as possible." ”

Subsequently, there were even scenes of many fans besieging the Valdebebas training base, asking Ancelotti to come forward and give a reasonable explanation for the Yang Yang incident.

In the end, Ancelotti was forced to have no choice but to come forward and say that Yang Yang would appear in the fourth round of La Liga at the weekend, which barely appeased the fans.

In the fourth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Deportivo La Coruna away, and all of Spain knew that this was Real Madrid's nightmare.

If Carlo Ancelotti doesn't want to suffer three consecutive defeats in La Liga, letting Yang Yang play is the best option.

It's just that no one thought that Yang Yang did appear in the game squad, but he didn't start.
