821 Yang Yang VS Zidane
After the 1-1 draw away at Lyon, the atmosphere at the Valdebebas training base changed significantly.
After six years of longing and grievance, now there is hope, and everyone is holding back their strength.
For a team like Real Madrid, for these players of Real Madrid, missing out on the quarter-finals of the Champions League for six years is an unacceptable shame in any case.
Ramos even cried in the dressing room after playing Lyon.
The No.4 centre-back has high hopes from Real Madrid, with everyone believing he will become another homegrown leader in the Real Madrid dressing room after the likes of Raul, Guti and Casillas.
This is Ramos' fifth season at Real Madrid, and this league game against Villarreal at the weekend was his 200th appearance for Real Madrid, which is definitely a supreme honor for Ramos, who is only 23 years old.
Carrying Real Madrid's legendary number four shirt, and before Ramos, there were club legends like Piri, Santana and Hierro, which in itself proves that Real Madrid have high hopes for Ramos.
But in the past five years, Ramos has witnessed Real Madrid go from the glittering Galaxy Battleship period, to the laughing stock of European football, and now to see hope again, and he is clearly more deeply touched than others.
Ramos's tears not only witnessed his affection and loyalty to the club, but also made everyone in the dressing room feel the weight of this game, and Yang Yang's goal was particularly precious.
And everyone is more motivated for the next round two!
On the training ground at the Valdebebas training ground, Real Madrid's players have become more combative, and everyone has a hot and hot hope in their hearts, looking forward to the second leg.
This atmosphere is very comfortable for everyone in the team, and it is also very relieved and reassuring for the coaching staff.
As a hero, Yang Yang naturally saw it in his eyes and was very happy in his heart.
After playing professional football for so many years, Yang Yang knows very well that the team's current morale is very conducive to the next games, and even if it is guided, everyone in the team can be twisted into a rope and send out the strongest force on the field.
It can be said that this is the atmosphere that is the easiest to achieve!
…………
…………
After the training session, Yang Yang still added a few basic training items to himself as usual.
This is his daily training habit, and he has never slackened for a moment.
After the basic training, he began to prepare for free kick training again.
Real Madrid arranged a personal trainer for him to accompany him in practice.
Every time, when Yang Yang trains free kicks, the personal coach is in charge of the goal.
Often at this time, the likes of Sneijder, Ibrahimovic and Vermaelen would come out to fight him, and Kaka would occasionally come up and kick him.
The Brazilian star is not yet able to train with the team and is more likely to be in rehabilitation with a personal coach, but when it comes to free-kicks, the coaches have turned a blind eye.
Sometimes, if you're in the mood, you just have a game, and whoever loses is invited to a Juan House barbecue.
Add a little bet and the game will be even more exciting.
But today came a different story.
"I'll try." Zidane rubbed his hands and walked over.
Looking at his appearance, he has changed into a clean jersey, put on boots and socks, and looks ready, especially the smiling and expectant expression, which is obviously in his hands.
The Special Adviser to the President of Real Madrid has been in the first team for a while, and most of them are watching and learning, and occasionally talking to the players, but it is rare to go out in person like today.
This is Zinedine Zidane!
is known as a legend on a par with Ronaldo after Pele and Maradona, the two kings of the ball.
Seeing Zidane go off the field in person, which of the players who still remain at the Valdebebas training base is not excited?
Suddenly, all the people around him surrounded him, and even the boys from Castilla and the academy next door came closer, all cheering and cheering over there, looking like they were not afraid of big things.
"You're coming?" Yang Yang was a little surprised and asked with a smile.
Zidane scratched his bare head and laughed, "What? Are you scared? ”
Yang Yang was also happy, he knew that Zidane's free kick attainment was very high, and his penalty shooting skills were very strong, and even in the super training ground, there was a set of star skills of Zidane's free kicks, but he was afraid of it......
"I'm afraid that you won't be able to pay if you lose." Yang Yang said funny.
Everyone knows that Zidane's special adviser to the chairman is a fictitious title and does not receive a salary.
"Then you don't have to worry." Zidane waved his hand, turned his head again, looked at the others, and asked provocatively: "Is there anyone else who wants to come down and give it a try?" ”
This is a rare opportunity to compete with Zidane, but it is hard to come by.
So a number of players on the scene, including Ibrahimovic, Sneijder, and Xavi Alonso, signed up anyway, regardless of whether they were confident in their free kicks.
Casillas had already finished taking a shower, packed up his things and was about to leave, but when he heard that Zidane and Yang Yang were gambling, he was also interested, shouting that he would guard the door himself, and ran to the locker room to change his jersey and gloves.
When the Real Madrid goalkeeper comes out again, the scene has already been arranged.
"That's still according to the old rules, whoever loses, please have a meal." Yang Yang made a bet.
Naturally, everyone has no opinion.
For Real Madrid's stars, it's really okay to have a meal, but with a little bet, everyone doesn't want to lose.
Casillas personally guarded the goal, needless to say, how capable he was, and everyone was like a great enemy.
Outside the barbed wire fence of the training ground, the young players of the second team and the academy were all excited.
……
According to the original rules, everyone has ten free kick opportunities, distributed in different angles and different positions on the periphery of the penalty area, with the dummy as the human wall, and Casillas as the goalkeeper.
Zidane took the initiative to "provoke", and Yang Yang also had the heart to take the school exam, so he thought carefully and asked him to punish first.
The French superstar was also the first to step up and take the penalty.
As a result, Zidane's penalty directly surprised everyone on the scene.
The practice on the training ground is different from the actual battle on the spot, although Casillas is the goalkeeper, but the atmosphere and tension are not as good as the scene, plus the human wall is a dead thing, the difficulty of the penalty is much lower than the scene.
But even so, it's not easy to hit.
But Zidane took ten free kicks in a row, each of which hit the goal, and all of them hit, Casillas judged the right direction several times, but failed to save, such a hit rate is really quite high, and everyone on the scene was dumbfounded.
It is not difficult to see that although he has been retired for many years, Zidane's footwork has not fallen at all, and he is still the world's top superstar of the year, and his stability is really admirable.
Ibrahimovic and Robben, who then took the penalty, were far inferior to him, only hitting two out of ten shots, and the shots on target were only half on target, which is definitely a huge difference in penalty skills.
Yang Yang's fourth penalty is also the object of most interest to everyone in the audience, because his free throw consistency has always been high, and everyone wants to see if he can catch up with Zidane.
As it turned out, Yang Yang did not disappoint, hitting the target with ten shots from different angles, and Casillas failed to save the ball every time, which made the Real Madrid goalkeeper feel very remorseful.
Subsequently, Xavi Alonso and Sneijder and others also did not have a high shooting percentage, basically around two out of ten, Sneijder had the highest shooting rate, but only four out of ten, and Yang Yang and Zidane still have a very big gap.
"These two guys are perverts, and the free-throw consistency is frighteningly high." Ibrahimovic shouted unconvinced.
Everyone knows the temper of the Swedish centre-forward, and he will never give in.
"More than 20 meters is too close, let's punish farther away." Yang Yang suggested with a smile.
eliminated the others, and only Yang Yang and Zidane were left to compete.
Zidane nodded with a smile, "How far can you get punished?" ”
"Thirty meters, thirty-five meters, forty meters, three feet in each position." Yang Yang said provocatively.
Zidane's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, but he quickly nodded to meet the challenge.
Within 30 meters, the two of them each made three free throws, and they both hit three free throws, and the hit rate was ridiculously high.
Everyone at the scene was stunned, but also cheered.
It's like taking a free kick as a penalty!
Although it is training, the mentality is more relaxed, and the hit rate will be higher, but this stability is too outrageous, right?
But when it came to thirty-five meters, the gap between them gradually widened.
Zidane hit two of the three free throws, and it was obvious that he was not enough.
This is also a problem for Zidane to take free kicks, and the shooting percentage of long-range free throws is indeed not high.
But in contrast, Yang Yang still hit three penalties at a distance of thirty-five meters, which has to be said to be quite surprising.
Casillas was also very depressed, and at a distance of thirty-five meters, he was still punished continuously, and he was really angry.
Mainly because Yang Yang and Zidane's free throws are very tricky, basically they are aimed at the dead corner, and the penalties are fast and urgent, the human wall is a dead thing, and it has not been able to form an effective interference, as a goalkeeper, he can't save.
And at the position of 40 meters, it was still Zidane who took the first penalty, and as a result, the French superstar made three free throws this time, all of which were saved by Casillas.
The Real Madrid goalkeeper breathed a big sigh of relief, but he was depressed when he thought about it.
It took him 40 metres to save Zidane's free kick, which shows how strong the former teammate's free-kick skills are.
Thinking about it again, Casillas couldn't help but look at Yang Yang, and his heart was raised again.
He usually watched Yang Yang practice free kicks, and he also knew Yang Yang's free kick attainments, but the clearer he was, the more he was out of sight, and he didn't know if he could save Yang Yang's free kicks?
This is praised by the media and fans as the best free-kick master in European football after Juninho Jr.
