988 Messi catches up
won the fifth Golden Globe Award in Zurich, Switzerland, and successfully proposed marriage in public on the spot, Yang Yangren had not yet returned to Madrid, and the phone was almost blown up by relatives and friends, especially the parents of both parties who were far away in China.
Originally, Yang Yang's mother wanted to stay in Madrid with her grandchildren, but she was really not used to it, and the family was busy with business years ago, so she returned to China not long ago, and the child was handed over to Su Ye and a professional nanny to take care of.
And when they heard about Yang Yang's proposal in public, they also expressed their support.
In the words of his father Yang Yongqiang, when the children are born, they have to be responsible for Su Ye, but it is not enough to get a marriage certificate, they should hold a banquet and invite all relatives and friends to come to the scene to witness.
Cousin Shen Yuzhu also thinks so, in her words, every woman longs to have an unforgettable wedding.
As for the time of the wedding, it must be accommodating to Yang Yang.
European competitions generally end at the end of May, this year is the European Cup year, La Liga and the Champions League are over in mid-May, but the Chinese team has emerged from the top 20 of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup in Brazil and advanced to the top 10 in advance.
According to the schedule, the first three rounds of the top 10 will be scheduled for mid-to-early June, and three games will be played in a row in two weeks, so there is definitely no way to go from the league to the national team competition, so the best time is in mid-to-late June after the national team match.
However, it will be the European Championship again, so there may be many friends who will not be able to attend this wedding, but this is also a no-brainer, if it is postponed to July, it will affect the team's pre-season training camp.
According to Real Madrid's current plan, after Ibrahimovic leaves, the team must reorganize the midfield, and the pre-season run-in becomes more important during this period, so Yang Yang finally made a decision in mid-to-late June, and the specific time will be determined.
When it comes to Real Madrid's recruitment, the whole world knows that the player that Real Madrid wants to bring in the most this summer is the Brazilian genius Neymar.
While the world's media was overwhelmingly reporting on Yang Yang, Catalonia's daily sports newspaper was the first to disclose a news that did not attract much attention, that is, Neymar quietly appeared in Barcelona.
According to Neymar's father, he came to Barcelona to shoot an advertisement for a brand that sponsored him, and a Barcelona reporter from Marca followed him, saying that he did not go to the club's Camp Nou or training ground, nor did he have any contact with the Barça hierarchy.
Neymar also quickly posted a photo of the advertising shooting scene on his Weibo, apparently hoping to tell everyone that he did not come to meet Barcelona secretly, but really came to shoot the advertisement.
But just when everyone didn't pay attention, the Daily Sports Newspaper suddenly published a news.
Neymar only stayed in Barcelona for one day, and the place where they filmed the advertisement was Barcelona's El Prat Airport, and Neymar and his son were indeed in the airport during the whole process of filming the advertisement, and did not leave, and at 8 o'clock in the evening, after filming the commercial, they flew directly back to Brazil.
But what is not known is that at the advertising shooting site, in addition to Neymar and his son and the advertising crew, there is also Barcelona vice president Sanyei, who watched the whole process of Neymar's advertising shooting, and had a long conversation with Neymar and his son between the advertising shooting.
According to the information obtained by the daily sports newspaper, Neymar is very friendly to Barcelona, and Sanyey is not only the vice president of Barcelona, but also the president of Rosell, before entering Barcelona, he was also an executive of Nike, and has a very good relationship with the Brazilian football community, so he is responsible for contacting Neymar and his son.
"In addition to Barcelona, during his time in Zurich, the Barcelona management also had contact with Neymar and his son, and the club also conveyed a goodwill offer to Neymar through Daniel Alves, and Neymar was also very moved by this, because he knew very well that if he transferred to Real Madrid, he could only become Yang Yang's deputy."
Daily Sport also revealed that Barcelona began to contact Neymar as early as 10 years, and the two sides have even reached a verbal agreement, Rosell has paid a deposit of 10 million euros, and has offered a four-year contract for the Brazilian talent with an annual salary of up to 7 million euros.
"Neymar's transfer to Barcelona is gradually becoming a fact!"
The news was unremarkable at first, but just after Yang Yang won his fifth FIFA Ballon d'Or, it immediately became the target of hype in the Catalan media, as Real Madrid were also very keen to bring in Neymar.
Since they can't beat Real Madrid on the pitch, it would be a cause for celebration if they could get rid of each other in the transfer market, so the Catalan media celebrated Neymar's arrival in advance, just like the holidays.
Barcelona president Rusell also publicly expressed his strong interest in Neymar later, but he denied that he had reached a private agreement with Neymar, saying that Neymar is still a player of Santos, but he affirmed that Barcelona will speed up the pace and bind Neymar as soon as possible.
Neymar, who is far away in Brazil, also came forward to refute the rumors, saying that he had not held talks with Barcelona's top management, and denied that he had reached a private agreement with Barcelona, solemnly promising that he was still a player of Santos.
But in the treacherous transfer market, such a refutation of rumors is not convincing at all.
…………
…………
First, Yang Yang won the fifth Ballon d'Or, and then successfully proposed in public, followed by the scandal between Neymar and Barcelona, and the whole mid-January, world football can be described as lively.
However, the competitions are still going on in an orderly manner according to the established schedule.
The day after Yang Yang returned from Zurich, the team set off for an away game against Malaga.
This was the second leg of the Copa del Rey round of 16 knockout round, Yang Yang did not appear in the squad, Ancelotti let him rest, and Real Madrid beat Malaga 1-0 away with David Silva's assist to Ibrahimovic's goal, and advanced to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 4-1.
After the draw, Real Madrid's opponent in the quarter-finals was Espanyol.
……
Three days later, in the nineteenth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Real Mallorca away.
Real Madrid has made a lot of changes to the squad, because since January, the team has been very dense, all of them are two games a week, and it is simply impossible to continue without rotation, but rotation will inevitably bring instability.
Carlo Ancelotti played out a combination of Mascherano, Herrera and Luka Modric in midfield, but this combination was not satisfactory in the first half, especially in the first 30 minutes.
Real Madrid even hit the first shot of the game in the 32nd minute with a direct free kick from Yang Yang.
Four minutes later, Real Mallorca took advantage of a counter-attack to open the scoring for Real Madrid.
Then the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Real Madrid's performance gradually improved.
In the 58th minute, Yang Yang won the ball on the left side and broke through unsuccessfully, and passed back to Herrera, who quickly moved to the right side, Robben rushed into the penalty area, was fouled by defender Ramis, and fell in the penalty area, and the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty.
The Dutchman took home the penalty to equalise for Real Madrid.
In the 72nd minute, Modric sent a straight kick, and Yang Yang pushed the shot from 10 meters on the left side of the penalty area, which overtook Real Madrid and made it 2-1.
Then in the 85th minute, Ramis made a mistake with a header, Ibrahimovic and substitute Morata were blocked in succession, and Robben volleyed in from the edge of the box to score a brace, 3-1.
In the end, Real Madrid reversed Real Mallorca away.
In another match-up a day later, Barcelona beat Real Betis 4-2 at home.
The game was also very difficult, Xavi and Messi scored two goals in two minutes, but then Real Betis scored two goals in a row, and finally it was the end of the game, Sanchez and Messi scored one after another, and Messi scored a penalty.
In the end, Barcelona defeated Real Betis 4-2 with two goals from Messi.
……
In the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid challenged Espanyol away.
Yang Yang rested again, and Real Madrid also played very hard away from home, and the two sides ended up in a 2-2 draw.
A week later, Real Madrid won 2-0 at their home stadium, and Yang Yang won this time and scored a brace.
In the end, Real Madrid eliminated Espanyol 4-2 on aggregate and advanced to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey against Athletic Bilbao, the Basque Lions.
……
In the middle of the two Copa del Rey matches, Real Madrid ushered in the first round of La Liga, hosting Athletic Bilbao.
In the 25th minute of the game, Xavi Alonso, Yang Yang and David Silva made a series of passes, Marcelo dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the left rib, and played a one-two with Ibrahimovic, pushing the goal from 10 meters in front of the goal to open the scoring for Real Madrid.
After that, Yang Yang scored twice in the second half, and Robben also scored a goal in the 86th minute to help Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 4-0 at home and won another victory.
Barcelona played Malaga away, Messi scored a hat-trick, and Sanchez scored a goal to help Barcelona beat Malaga 4-1 away to complete another victory, which is also one of the few big away wins for Barcelona this season.
Interestingly, in the 20th round of La Liga, Barcelona returned to host Málaga, and Messi scored a hat trick again to help Barcelona beat Málaga again 4-1 at home.
The two consecutive games were 4-1, Messi scored a hat-trick is really surprising, and Messi's La Liga goal tally has also surged to 26 goals, only one goal away from Yang Yang.
However, Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 away to Barcelona a day later, with goals from Yang Yang, Angel Di Maria and David Silva.
After the end of this round of games, Real Madrid continued to lead the standings with a 13-point advantage, while Yang Yang continued to lead the scorer list with 28 goals, two goals ahead of Messi.
