992 Locked Champions

Barcelona's upset defeat immediately sparked an uproar in Spain.

The question of what is going on with Pep Guardiola's team has caused an enthusiastic reaction from the media and fans, and many voices have pointed the finger at manager Pep Guardiola, believing that his coaching this season has not been successful and there have been many problems.

What is interesting is that the manager and players have been blamed by the media and fans, but only the problem of the management's summer training and unfavorable recruitment has not been mentioned, and many media have even threatened that Pep Guardiola will step down at the end of the season.

As the head coach of the team, you should be held accountable for losing.

In an interview with the media at the post-match press conference, Pep Guardiola said that this upset was a surprise.

'We have been beaten by Real Madrid at a very crucial distance and we can imagine that after tomorrow's game at Real Madrid, we will have an eighteen points difference, which is unacceptable.

"I'm confident that I'll continue to lead the team to close the gap in points, but the gap will continue until the end of the season."

This statement also proves what Guardiola thinks, that is, it is basically impossible to reverse Real Madrid this season, he just doesn't want to tell the media and fans publicly.

Subsequently, Guardiola made it clear that the team is about to go to the Champions League and they will fight for the Champions League, which is tantamount to indirectly telling everyone that La Liga is no longer in Barcelona's plans.

Twenty-three rounds, eighteen points behind, such a gap is simply impossible to make up.

……

Sure enough, early the next morning, almost all of Spain's media began to criticize Guardiola.

Daily Sport was the first to comment that Pep Guardiola's practice of putting Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets on the bench and starting players such as Thiago, Roberto and Cesc Fabregas was surprising and particularly unacceptable that Xavi and Iniesta sat on the bench for 90 minutes.

"Pep Guardiola did this, perhaps considering the harsh weather conditions on the road, and wanted to make the team's midfield more powerful, but he overlooked one thing, and that is that without the support of a few technical players in the midfield, Messi was completely useless up front."

"Eighteen points behind Real Madrid, almost ruining the prospects of La Liga, the merits of the whole season cannot be said for the time being, but for this game, Guardiola must take all the responsibility!"

Julian, a well-known reporter for Le Monde, directly questioned Guardiola in his article, "What are you doing? ”

This is an extremely rare attack on Pep Guardiola by the media.

Julián believes that Pep Guardiola's extremely rare win in the starting line-up and even the subsequent substitutions of Puyol and Pique made Barcelona almost a remnant against Osasuna, and the home team also taught Barcelona the most painful lesson.

Julián also slammed Pep Guardiola's use of Messi, arguing that Messi should rest, "In any way, Messi should rest, just like Yang Yang of Real Madrid, but in the dressing room at Camp Nou, Messi's authority is even above that of manager Pep Guardiola, which makes Guardiola not have the guts to let Messi rest." ”

"Since the winter break, Messi's state has been sluggish, everyone can see it, but Guardiola didn't dare to let Messi rest well and make adjustments, he just let Messi start one game after another, and even play the whole game, so far this season, Messi is almost the player with the most playing time in the Barcelona team."

Julián believes that Pep Guardiola has long since given up the league and focused on the cup, but if Barcelona is in the current state, even if it is a cup competition, it will definitely be more than lucky.

……

The news of Barcelona's upset defeat reached Madrid, causing an uproar in the Real Madrid dressing room.

Then in the home game against Levante, Real Madrid was full of morale, scoring in just five minutes, Yang Yang received Ramos's header in a tactical match of a free kick on the right side, and then nodded the goal to open the scoring for Real Madrid.

Before the end of the first half, Levante midfielder Ebola was fouled for handball in the penalty area, accumulating two yellow cards and being sent off, and Ibrahimovic hit a penalty, 2-0.

After the second half of the rematch, Yang Yang received a cross from the right side of Ibrahimovic in the small penalty area and scored with a header, and then Yang Yang suddenly shot from a distance after cutting the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and broke Levante's goal with a wonderful arc ball, 4-0, and Yang Yang himself scored a hat trick again.

Once again, a hat-trick was scored, and Yang Yang was soon replaced by teenager Hesse.

The best young rookie in Real Madrid's academy hugged Yang Yang with adoration on the sidelines, giving him great credit for scoring a hat-trick in 60 minutes.

Hesse also said in interviews with the media more than once that Yang Yang is his most admired idol.

Levante then pulled a goal back, but Ibrahimovic added a goal in the 66th minute to make it 5-1 and Real Madrid beat Levante at home.

After this game, Real Madrid overtook Barcelona in the standings with an eighteen-point lead.

It can be said that the La Liga league has been carried out so far, and there is no suspense about the ownership of the championship.

After the game, Carlo Ancelotti refused to talk about Real Madrid's early locking of the league title at a press conference, saying only that Real Madrid were the favourite, but the emphasis was on Yang Yang.

Carlo Ancelotti said that Yang Yang's name has gone down in the history of Real Madrid, and he is the kind of player who surprises every game, "We thought he was good enough, but we didn't expect him to be better. ”

"Actually, he was still in the middle of a cold tonight, but before the game he asked for a game and I only promised him 60 minutes, but he scored a hat-trick and led the team to another precious three points."

Carlo Ancelotti believes that Yang Yang is gradually becoming the soul and spiritual symbol of Real Madrid.

"It's like tonight's game, a sick Yang Yang can still conquer the Bernabeu, do you see the picture of the more than 80,000 fans in the stadium standing up to cheer and applaud him when he goes off the field? Even I, as the head coach, have to envy and even envy his status in the hearts of Real Madrid fans. ”

Ancelotti said that everything about Yang Yang comes from his efforts on and off the pitch, and with him, Real Madrid will have more confidence and fighting spirit in any game.

…………

…………

Yang Yang and Lionel Messi, the two most prestigious superstars in world football today, are also the stars of Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the media and fans always inevitably compare them.

One is to play a full 90 minutes of play and do nothing, resulting in a 2-3 away defeat for the team, and then losing this season's La Liga; One was playing ill and scoring a hat-trick in 60 minutes to help the team beat the opponent 5-1 at home and basically lock up the league championship in advance.

In media reports, Yang Yang's performance once again overwhelmed Messi.

Three days later, the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League ignited the fire.

Barcelona challenged Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga away, while Real Madrid traveled thousands of miles to Russia to challenge CSKA Moscow away, and the temperature in Moscow at this time was only minus 5 degrees, which can be described as quite cold.

From Madrid to Moscow, Real Madrid is extremely unaccustomed to such a climate.

Since Yang Yang had just had a bad cold and had not fully recovered, Ancelotti and the team doctor team finally stopped him from going to the icy Russia, and instead let him stay in Madrid to rest.

As a result, Real Madrid drew 1-1 away at CSKA Moscow.

There was no way around it, the local climate was so bad that Real Madrid simply did not adapt to the cold of Moscow, and although Arjen Robben scored for Real Madrid in the 28th minute, it was still equalized by CSKA Moscow in stoppage time.

Ibrahimovic also started this game, but he only played 16 minutes before going off injured, and the post-match diagnosis was a muscle strain, and it was initially estimated that he would be out for three weeks, which also made Real Madrid cautious both up and down.

The coaching staff and the team medical team are secretly glad that Yang Yang, who has just recovered from a severe cold, was not allowed to go to the away game, otherwise, if Yang Yang is also injured, it will be a real injury for Real Madrid.

……

Unlike Real Madrid, who paid a heavy price away to CSKA Moscow, Barcelona faced stubborn resistance from the home side in Germany, but in the end they were not in danger.

Messi made a pass and a shot, Sanchez scored twice, and Barcelona beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 away.

……

The impact of the expedition to Moscow in the ice and snow did not stop at Real Madrid.

After returning to Spain, Real Madrid collectively fell into a slump, and the whole team was not in good shape.

In the twenty-fourth round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Malaga.

Yang Yang scored for Real Madrid in the 35th minute, but Real Madrid looked badly out of shape throughout the game, and in the final stages of the game, in the second minute of stoppage time, Cazorla's goal helped Malaga take a point away from the Bernabeu.

The home team was drawn 1-1 by Malaga, and Real Madrid looked a little depressed from top to bottom.

The winning streak came to an end, but Real Madrid's lead in La Liga continued.

Fans also understand this, after all, it is a 40-day consecutive week of double matches, especially if it is a long trip to Moscow, back and forth, and it is understandable that there are problems.

Barcelona defeated Valencia 5-1 at home and won a hearty victory, and Messi, who has been in poor form recently, finally ushered in a rare outburst, staged a big four, and won all the applause.

After the game, all the media also changed their tune and began to praise Messi's outburst in the trough, and even the Catalan media touted that Barcelona still had a chance to counterattack Real Madrid.

Messi also relied on four goals in this round to successfully increase his league goal tally to 31 goals, only three goals behind Yang Yang's 34 goals, and once again posed a threat to Yang Yang.
