At the beginning of September, two weeks of national team matches.

Although the top 10 matches of the World Cup qualifiers have long been played and the Chinese team has also qualified for the World Cup in Brazil as the group leader, Queiroz has carefully prepared two warm-up matches.

One is Cameroon from Africa and the other is Serbia from Europe.

The strength of these two teams is not bad, and the Chinese team is not sure enough to face such an opponent.

Queiroz's purpose in arranging these two warm-up matches is also very simple: to further polish the team, adjust the team's offensive and defensive system, and increase the team's experience against each other, especially against European and African teams.

Everyone knows that when Asian teams arrive at the World Cup, they will definitely meet teams from other continents, especially European teams are the most likely, so what kind of tactical play should the Chinese team adopt in the face of such an opponent, Queiroz hopes to find the answer through warm-up matches before the World Cup.

This is also the reason why Yang Yang and other foreign international players specially returned to China Qinwang.

Yang Yang is twenty-seven years old, Feng Xiaoting and others are older than him, even if the Brazil World Cup is not their last World Cup, but it will be the most promising World Cup at the peak of their careers.

Four years later, Yang Yang will be thirty-one years old, and the other players who won the World Youth Championship that year are also in their thirties.

This is very difficult, as early as the World Cup in South Africa, Yang Yang and others felt the limitation of that kind of strength.

It can be said that from reaching the World Cup final, to qualifying for the group stage, to advancing to the quarterfinals, and then to the semifinals, every step is a step, and each step is higher and more difficult than the previous one.

Yang Yang and the others didn't know how far they could go, so they could only do their best.

……

The results of the two warm-up matches were not very satisfactory.

The Chinese team lost 1-3 to Cameroon and then 1-2 to Serbia, and Yang Yang scored in both games, but the team's defense failed to hold the opponent's attack.

Whether it is Cameroon or Serbia, they are very tough opponents for the Chinese team, and their physical strength has suppressed the Chinese players, and they also have no shortage of foot skills, which makes it extremely difficult for the Chinese players to deal with.

Queiroz was pleased with the process of both games but encouraged his players to keep working hard, "As long as the problems exposed in the game are solved, it means that our overall quality is improving. ”

Yang Yang also agreed with Queiroz's statement, instead of picking weak teams to play before the competition, it is better to simply find some strong teams to compete, of course, this is also a scale issue to pay attention to, because if you are always losing, it will definitely seriously hit the team's morale and players' confidence, which is also not good for the team.

However, Queiroz has a lot of experience in coaching and he must have noticed the problem.

La Liga has rekindled the fire and ushered in the fourth round of the new season.

As it was the national team break, midweek was the first round of the Champions League group stage, because the traditional strong teams did not play particularly well, and even clearly retained.

Atletico Madrid beat Almeria 4-2 at home, with goals from Villa, Diego Costa, Thiago and Koke.

Later on, Barcelona also beat Sevilla 3-2 at their own home.

Martino hid Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo in the game, but Alves and Messi gave Barcelona a two-goal lead, but then Rakitic and Koke scored a goal each to level the scores, especially Koke, who scored in the first minute of stoppage time.

However, in the last minute of stoppage time, Alexis Sanchez scored the finale to beat Sevilla at Camp Nou.

Although the snow hides the two superstars, Sanchez showed a superstar performance at the critical moment, which made people see the luxury and strength of Barcelona's attacking lineup.

Although it was a narrow victory, Barcelona's victory still won a lot of praise.

……

After the Barcelona match, Real Madrid's away game against Villarreal has just begun.

Affected by the international team game and the Champions League in midweek, Carlo Ancelotti had to rotate.

Yang Yang was suspended for the first Champions League group game of the season due to his red card in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals last season, so he started directly and will play the whole game.

Carlo Ancelotti lined up for this game, with Diego López in goal, Cesar Azpilicueta, Vermaelen, Raphael Varane and Carvajal in the back, Herrera, Ilia Ramendi and Luka Modric in midfield, Isco and Di Maria in front of the two midfielders, and Yang Yang in the single striker.

Villarreal took advantage of the home advantage from the opening kick-off to aggressively attack.

In the 21st minute, there was a mistake in Real Madrid's defense, after Fermaelen stealed, Varane failed to clear in time, and Carney seized the opportunity to volley the goal, and Real Madrid fell behind 0-1 away.

But in the 38th minute, Modric sent a through pass, Carvajal drove straight into the right side, dribbled directly to the right side of the Villarreal penalty area and crossed, Yang Yang shook off Bruno and hit the front point to equalize the score.

After the rematch in the second half, Yang Yang sent a cross, Di Maria inserted into the penalty area at high speed, volleyed with his right foot, and was saved by goalkeeper Asenjo, Yang Yang followed up to pick up the missed shot, 2 to 1, Real Madrid completed the reversal.

But in the 70th minute, Real Madrid's defense made another mistake, Carney broke through the top of the penalty area with the ball, and suddenly sent a cold arrow volley, Diego López saved the ball, but did not save far, and was grabbed by former Barcelona player Dos Santos to hit the volley to equalize the score.

After that, Real Madrid decisively replaced Jesse and Morata to strengthen the team's frontcourt attack.

In the 79th minute, Modric suddenly threw a cold arrow more than 20 meters away from the goal, and a high-quality long-range shot caused goalkeeper Asenjo to get out of his hands.

3-2, Real Madrid finally beat Villarreal away, also winning four in a row.

…………

On the evening of September 17, Istanbul, Turkey, Telecom Arena.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid challenged Galatasaray away.

This is the first official Champions League game of the new season, which all teams take very seriously, and it is also the first official game of Real Madrid's new signing Suarez after joining Real Madrid.

The Uruguayan striker was banned for 10 games last season for biting Ivanovic, and it was exactly 10 in the last round against Villarreal, and this game against Galatasaray was just right for him.

Coincidentally, Yang Yang was suspended because of a red card.

Carlo Ancelotti continued to line up in a four-three-three, with Casillas in goal, Marcelo, Ramos, Raphael Varane and Carvajal at the back, Isco, Mascherano and Luka Modric in midfield, and Eden Hazard, Suarez and Arjen Robben up front.

Although Yang Yang was suspended for the red card, he still followed the team to the away game, the difference is that he sat in civilian clothes in the area of the Real Madrid fans in the stands, which is a way for him to cheer for the team and cheer for Suarez.

The opening stage of the game did not go well, Real Madrid made a lot of mistakes, after all, it was away, and Galatasaray started to play very actively and actively, creating a lot of problems for Real Madrid, but in the 33rd minute, Real Madrid's two wings made a long-distance connection, Robben made a diagonal pass with his left foot, Hazard inserted at high speed, deducted the ball past Eboue, and then crossed into the penalty area, Isco followed up and pushed the shot, opening the scoring for Real Madrid.

This goal made Yang Yang in the stands couldn't help but stand up and applaud, a very sudden goal.

Isco's performance after joining Real Madrid is indeed very impressive, and even with his current momentum, he has faintly suppressed David Silva and become the main starter in midfield.

Of course, this has a lot to do with David Silva's recent slump.

It's normal for professional players to have ups and downs, but Isco's start was so impressive that Carlo Ancelotti felt that not starting him was a bit of a distraction.

After the rematch in the second half, Real Madrid still showed great courage.

In the 54th minute, the Galatasaray defender made a mistake in clearing, Robben volleyed the ball in front of Suarez, and the Uruguayan striker burst into the right side of the penalty area and calmly pushed the shot, 2-0.

In the 63rd minute, it was Robben who successfully countered offside on the right side, and a long drive with the ball went straight through the pass, Isco headed back in front of the bottom line on the left side of the goal, and Hazard followed up with a volley to score, 3-0.

Just three minutes later, Real Madrid took a free kick from the right, Ramos' header in front of the goal was blocked by the goalkeeper, Suarez followed up with the follow-up shot, 4-0, Suarez scored a brace!

In the 81st minute, David Silva, who replaced Isco, sent a wonderful left-footed direct pass, Hazard successfully countered offside on the left side of the penalty area, and the cross was in the middle, Suarez easily pushed and hit, 5-0!

Hat-trick!

Suarez rushed out of the stadium excitedly, rushed all the way to the bottom of the stands where Yang Yang was, and raised his hands towards Yang Yang from afar, as if to say, senior, have you seen it? You must have seen it, right?

Yang Yang also applauded happily, he did not expect that Real Madrid would play so smoothly in the second half.

Galatasaray then pulled one back in the 84th minute, but in the first minute of stoppage time, Suarez counter-attacked with a pass and Hazard dribbled past three players on the left side before volleying home a brace.

The Belgian was equally thrilled, especially with his second goal, which was beautiful.

In the stands, Yang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, because he clearly saw the recovery of Real Madrid's players' form.

Isco's performances are spurring Real Madrid's midfield, with the likes of Eden Hazard, Luis Suarez, Arjen Robben and Angel Di Maria all desperately trying to compete for a place in the main field, making Real Madrid more competitive.

In this game, Suarez's hat-trick, Eden Hazard's brace and Isco's goal proved that Real Madrid's form is improving rapidly.

If it can be maintained, Real Madrid still has a good chance to play Barcelona away in the tenth round.
