October 2, Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid.

In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid hosted Copenhagen, Denmark.

The home side of the Galaxy once again played a two-striker strategy, playing 352, with Marcelo and Danilo on the wings, Vermaelen, Xavi Martinez and Ramos at the back, David Silva, Ilya Ramendi and Luka Modric in midfield, and Yang Yang and Suarez in front.

Due to the weaker opponents, Real Madrid's game is attack-oriented, with David Silva and Modric positioned more forward, and can basically be regarded as two attacking midfielders.

After the start of the game, the two wings who were unleashed their attacking power were very active, especially Marcelo's left side frequently created threats, pressing Copenhagen in the half and unable to resist.

In the 21st minute, Marcelo crossed to the penalty area from the left, Copenhagen goalkeeper Wieland hurriedly abandoned the goal, but failed to touch the ball, causing the ball to fall past the goalkeeper to the back point.

Copenhagen didn't have their first shot of the game until the 33rd minute, so you can imagine how awkward the Danes were on the pitch.

After the second half of the rematch, Suarez took the initiative to retreat to receive Danilo, after the two formed a cooperation on the right side, Suarez crossed from the right side of the penalty area, Yang Yang followed up in the middle and rubbed the header, and once again put the ball into the goal of Copenhagen.

Brace!

Two goals, and all of them with headers!

The entire Bernabeu stadium was frantically chanting Yang Yang's name, calling for him to score another goal.

But after scoring two goals, Yang Yang obviously began to pay attention to his teammates.

In the seventy-first minute, David Silva sent a wonderful pass, Yang Yang dangled a shot in the penalty area, but deliberately missed it, Suarez followed up and easily pushed the shot, and made another city for Real Madrid, 3-0.

Soon, Ancelotti replaced Yang Yang with teenager Jose.

Everyone knows that this is Ancelotti wanting Yang Yang to save some strength, after all, continuous hat tricks are not necessarily a good thing, sometimes the state is too fast, too urgent, and there will be a long-term goal drought.

Alo Morata then came off the bench and Real Madrid provided the assist in the 91st minute after a tackle by Alvaro Morata in front, and Suarez volleyed home from near the penalty spot to seal the win.

Four to zero!

Real Madrid scored two goals with Yang Yang and Suarez, beating Copenhagen 4-0.

……

After two rounds of the group stage, the situation in Group B of Real Madrid is somewhat surprising.

Real Madrid won both games, scoring 10 goals and conceding only one, topping the group, but Juventus, who are highly favored by the outside world, suffered two consecutive draws in the first two rounds of the group, first a 1-1 draw away to Copenhagen, and then a 2-2 draw at home to Galatasaray, which is really incomprehensible.

If the 1-1 draw with Copenhagen was on the road, the 1-1 draw at home to Galatasaray was a bit unacceptable, with Didier Drogba putting in an excellent performance with a pass and a shot to give the Turkish side the lead and set up an equaliser for just a minute after a heavy comeback by Juventus.

It is worth mentioning that Juventus also lined up a three-five-two formation in this game.

Juventus' surprise draw in a row has greatly eased the pressure on Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage, and the next two games will be Real Madrid's face Juventus, especially after the fortnight international break, which will have the first match between the two sides, followed by the derby of the century against Barcelona, which will also be a big challenge for Real Madrid.

Even if Juventus' performance is sluggish now, Real Madrid still does not dare to be careless.

Who knows when the Bianconeri will break out?

…………

On October 5, in the eighth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Levante away.

Levante's head coach is Joaquín Caparos, a famous native coach in Spain, known for his iron will, leading the team with a rough style, and was even once considered a violent coach, Real Madrid vice-captain Ramos made his debut in Sevilla under his coaching, and some people even say that Ramos represents Caparos's coaching style.

Levante had a terrible start to the season, losing 7-0 to Camp Nou in the first round and losing to a star-studded Barcelona, with Caparos almost dropping out of the squad as soon as he took office.

In the next six league games, Levante played quite well, the lack of attack was their weakness, but the defense became solid, two wins and four draws in six rounds of games to remain unbeaten, only conceding only four goals.

It can be said that Caparos delivered a satisfactory answer in these six rounds, and also allowed him to quickly stabilize his position after suffering a humiliating defeat, and there was no major rout.

This time facing Real Madrid, Levante learned the lessons learned from the game against Barcelona, focusing on steady defense, adopting a four-two-three-one formation with two backs, tightening the defensive line, and making it clear that Chema is to play defensive counterattacks.

Perhaps it was the back-to-back battles, or the face of a tenacious Levante, Isco, who has been unusually eye-catching this season, has become sluggish in this game, and Hazard has struggled to perform, which has made it difficult for Real Madrid's midfield attack to create a threat.

Thankfully, the team's defense was well organized and didn't give Levante a chance.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Carlo Ancelotti couldn't sit still and immediately replaced Hazard with Jesse and Isco with Alvaro Morata, and the team reverted to a two-striker strategy, somewhat similar to the four-four-two, but the wings were more forward.

The two players quickly made a difference, first in the 66th minute, Yang Yang combined with Jesse on the left side to create a corner, Di Maria took a corner kick, and Ramos headed home.

The vice-captain of Real Madrid, who had a good conversation with his old mentor before the game, was not soft at all when he killed his mentor on the pitch.

In the 80th minute, Varane made a long pass in the backfield, Jesse took the ball on the left side and forced a breakthrough, passed to Yang Yang, Yang Yang burst into the penalty area with the ball to attract defenders and crossed to the right side, Morata followed up and pushed the shot, 2-0.

In the 94th minute, at the last moment of stoppage time, Modric sent a wonderful pass, Yang Yang suddenly sent a cold arrow on the right side of the penalty area, scored a long shot, knocked on Levante's goal, and sealed the victory for Real Madrid.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Levante 3-0 with goals from Yang Yang, Ramos and Morata.

……

Although the match was won, Ancelotti was not very happy with the result.

In his post-match press conference, the Real Madrid boss felt that the first half was not a good one.

'If we had played normally, we should have won in the first half, but unfortunately we dragged it until the second half and even until the end of the game, which is dangerous.

Ancelotti's meaning is clear, Real Madrid should play a little more aggressively.

Yang Yang also has his own feelings about this, that is, Isco is still too sticky.

I didn't feel it like a team like Atletico Madrid, but when Levante defended tightly, Isco's problem of being too sticky was exposed, and he often made mistakes in passing, which also slowed down the overall pace of the game.

It is precisely after replacing Jesse and Morata that Real Madrid's attack has accelerated, playing faster, more concise and more direct, and it is more effective, which is also worth pondering.

Of course, the good thing is that Real Madrid's tactical means are more abundant, and different types of players can cope with different situations.

So, that's a good thing.

……

Real Madrid beat Levante 3-0 away in a thrilling situation, while Barcelona came back 4-1 at home to Valladolid.

Martino's side conceded in just 10 minutes, but then Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and Neymar and Xavi both scored to make it 4-1.

Messi's lack of goals in this round of the game widened the gap between him and Yang Yang to five goals, but he provided an assist for Cristiano Ronaldo, which is very new.

…………

The local national team's match day in October is the Asian Cup qualifiers, and China's opponent is Indonesia.

There was little suspense in this game, and Queiroz mainly wanted to look at domestic players, especially some fringe internationals who performed well in the domestic league, so he did not recall the foreign internationals.

In the end, with Wu Xidi's goal, the Chinese team defeated Indonesia 1-0 away.

……

Although he did not return to China, Yang Yang was not idle.

He spent two weeks of international breaks, but he didn't forget to train on his own.

On October 19, in the ninth round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Malaga at home.

Yang Yang scored a goal for Real Madrid in just one minute of the opening game.

Then Arjen Robben doubled the lead again in the 46th minute.

In the end, Real Madrid won 2-0 at home to Malaga.

……

Barcelona are away to Osasuna.

As a result, the performance of the whole team was not ideal, but at the critical moment, Cristiano Ronaldo assisted Messi to score a goal to help Barcelona retreat 1-0 away.

This surprised everyone.

In the last round, Messi assisted Cristiano Ronaldo to score, and in this round it was the Portuguese who assisted Messi's goal.

Media reporters with a keen sense of smell quickly captured the information, that is, Barcelona's two superstars, who originally seemed to be well water and did not violate the river, actually began to cooperate on the pitch, and they still have contacts with each other.

Barcelona coach Martino said in the post-match press conference that Messi has no problem with Cristiano Ronaldo, on the contrary, they are happy to cooperate with each other, but they lacked some tacit understanding before.

"There is no doubt that the combination between them will give us more confidence against Real Madrid."

Simeone's Atletico Madrid lost 1-0 away to Espanyol in this round.

With Real Madrid and Barcelona both on a nine-game winning streak, Atletico Madrid has been gradually left behind, and is currently third with 21 points, four points ahead of fourth-place Villarreal, but six points behind Real Madrid and Barcelona with 27 points.

La Liga is still a game of the Spanish Super League.

But who of the two giants can be better?
