1061 Six Crowns
Although this is the third consecutive year that Real Madrid have come to Japan to play in the Club World Cup, the world's strongest team is still popular with Japanese fans, and as a Chinese player, Yang Yang is the most popular player in the Real Madrid team.
After the team arrived in Tokyo, Japan, no matter where they went, they would be enthusiastically sought after by Japanese fans, asking for autographs and group photos, and Yang Yang frequently appeared on the front page of authoritative Japanese media.
Yangyang storm swept through Japan!
This is the most said sentence by the Japanese media, because after Yang Yang arrived in Japan, he was almost worshiped by Japanese fans, and even many Japanese people couldn't understand why the Japanese would be so enthusiastic about a Chinese player?
In the end, they came to the conclusion that not only in Japan, but almost all over the world, Yang Yang caused a storm everywhere he went, and was enthusiastically followed by fans all over the world.
It was precisely because of the enthusiasm of the Japanese fans that Real Madrid had to cancel the planned outings of the players, which made Real Madrid complain a lot, because they could only stay in hotels during their time in Japan.
……
On the evening of December 13, the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.
Real Madrid face CARCAF champions Monterrey at the Yokohama International Arena in Japan.
Yang Yang opened the sixteenth minute, just near the penalty spot, and calmly volleyed the goal.
In the second half, after the rematch, only fifteen seconds, Hazard broke through to the bottom line with the ball, Yang Yang made a slight adjustment and volleyed again, and the ball went into the net, 2-0.
Two minutes later, Yang Yang pulled to the left wing and forced a breakthrough, sending a cross, Hazard crossed to the goal, and Robben, who followed up, easily pushed and hit the next goal for Real Madrid.
In the final stage of the game, Monterrey took advantage of Real Madrid's "mistake" to pull a goal back, and finally Real Madrid won the opponent 3-1 and successfully advanced to the final of the Club World Cup.
……
On the evening of the 16th, the final of the Club World Cup.
Real Madrid met Corinthians, the champions of the Copa Libertadores in South America.
It was arguably the most challenging game of the Club World Cup, but Real Madrid still relied on their overall strength to easily dominate the game and control the situation.
In the 21st minute, Hazard was brought down when he broke through with the ball at the edge of the penalty area, giving Real Madrid a free kick opportunity in front, Yang Yang personally took the penalty and fired a powerful volley through Corinthians' goal to open the scoring for Real Madrid.
In the 39th minute, Xavi Alonso sent a long pass over the top near the halfway line, Yang Yang successfully countered offside, drove straight in, and after unloading the ball in the penalty area, a skillful pendulum passed, shook off Corinthians' goalkeeper Cassio, and easily pushed the empty goal, 2-0.
After the rematch in the second half, Real Madrid were still in control.
In the 54th minute, Real Madrid's midfielder broke the ball, David Silva went straight to the edge of the penalty area, and Hazard entered the penalty area, but the ball was a little big, and there was no angle when he hit the goal, unable to create a threat.
Corinthians soon pulled a goal back thanks to midfielder Paulinho's long-range shot that found the back of the net through Real Madrid.
But in the 86th minute, Carvajal on the right side of Real Madrid sent a cross, and Morata who replaced Yang Yang nodded in front of the ball, expanding the score for Real Madrid again, 3-1.
The score was maintained until the end of the game, when Real Madrid defeated Corinthians 3-1 to win the Club World Cup for the third consecutive year and achieve the feat of six crowns!
Not only that, but Real Madrid have won a staggering twenty-five games on all fronts so far this season!
…………
…………
Six crowns!
Twenty-five wins in a row!
After the end of the Club World Cup, the news quickly swept the world, everyone was shocked by Real Madrid's amazing performance this season, and Yang Yang's excellent form, all the media were asking who else could stop this Real Madrid team?
The British Times said that the powerful Barcelona failed to stop Real Madrid, and this summer's restructuring did not stop Real Madrid's progress, and the Galaxy Battleship led by Yang Yang is like an unstoppable war machine, like a bamboo, invincible.
The French team newspaper also believes that Real Madrid ushered in its peak dynasty, with three consecutive championships in the past three years, six crowns this season, and 25 consecutive wins, which prove that Real Madrid's strength is amazing and fearful.
"Even more unbelievable is Yang Yang, who has scored 44 goals for Real Madrid on all fronts this season, which is definitely a staggering number and a record in the history of Real Madrid and La Liga."
"He's creating new heights that are hard to achieve!"
The German newspaper Bild is more sensible, believing that Real Madrid's 25 consecutive wins and six crowns are indeed amazing, which is a height that is difficult for other teams to achieve, but does not think that this Real Madrid team is invincible.
"Looking at the past games this season, it is not difficult to see that Real Madrid's dominance and consistency on the pitch have declined compared to last season, with the loss of Ibrahimovic, McConn, Kaka and Maxwell, and the introduction of Hazard and Azpilicueta, but Real Madrid's overall strength has indeed weakened, especially on the two wings."
According to Bild, Eden Hazard is expected, but for now, he is still the weakest link in Real Madrid's front trident, and with Marcelo's absence, Real Madrid's left side has become a big hidden danger, Azpilicueta is solid defensively, but not enough in attack.
In addition, Real Madrid's right side is also a big problem, Carvajal took advantage of Arbeloa's injury to quickly rise to the position of the team's main right wing-back, and often bring wonderful performances, but not consistent.
"The real test for Real Madrid is in the knockout rounds of the Champions League!"
"The Champions League group stage met the Premier League, Bundesliga and Eredivisie champions, and since August, Real Madrid's 25-game winning streak has not come easily, but if we continue to move forward, every step will be more difficult than in the past."
In fact, not only the outside media sees it this way, but also within Real Madrid.
Because this year is really not the time for teams to perform, especially in the Champions League.
However, after winning the Club World Cup Player of the Year, Yang Yang said in an interview with the media that Real Madrid will not consider the number of consecutive wins and records, "The only thing we care about is how to beat the opponent in the next game." ”
As for the winning streak, Yang Yang said that sooner or later it will stop, but he believes that stopping the winning streak will not affect Real Madrid.
"We will be the strongest contenders for all the titles!" Yang Yang said loudly.
……
The victory over Corinthians in the Club World Cup final not only brought Real Madrid a Club World Cup title and a six-time title, but also broke the Guinness World Record of 24 consecutive wins in the Brazilian league.
In other words, while Real Madrid won a Club World Cup, they also set a new Guinness World Record, which was raised from 24 to 25.
This made the media all over the world enthusiastic about Real Madrid, but the Spanish newspaper Marca pointed out that although Coritiba's 24-game winning streak is a Guinness World Record, it is not the real club record holder.
Before Coritiba, there are two more records waiting for Real Madrid.
One is that from 1942 to 1943, the German team Dresden once set a record of 26 consecutive wins, including 23 league games and three cup games, but because it was too old and the league at that time was not standardized, this record could not be verified and is generally not cited.
Real Madrid's real stand in the way was the 1971-1972 season, when Ajax won 19 consecutive games in the Eredivisie, during which they also won three cup games and four Champions League games, creating a 26-game winning streak, which is the real world club winning streak holder.
The Ajax team at the time had stars such as Cruyff and Neeskens, former Chinese national team manager Alihan, and Yang Yang's Bole John Repp at Almere were also in that team at that time.
Now, Real Madrid have won 25 consecutive victories and are only one step away from equaling Ajax's record that year.
When Real Madrid returned to Madrid with the six-time champion and was greeted by countless Real Madrid fans, Yang Yang was asked about the incident in an interview with Marca News, and he said that it was an honor for him because he respected Alihan and John Repp.
……
At the same time as Real Madrid went to Japan for the Club World Cup, the draw results for the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League were also freshly released.
This year's Champions League group stage can be described as a series of upsets, first Arsenal lost to Schalke 04 in the battle for the first place in the group, and even almost lost to Olympiacos, and finally narrowly escaped the second place in the group.
AC Milan also underperformed, losing to Malaga in the race for top of the group, but also narrowly missed to Zenit to finish second by a narrow margin.
In addition, Valencia from Spain and Shakhtar Donetsk from Ukraine, needless to say, the Bat Army, which is on par with Bayern Munich, both scored 13 points, but was forced to settle for second place on goal difference.
However, because of the relationship with the country, Real Madrid will not draw Valencia.
Shakhtar Donetsk, on the other hand, beat Chelsea to finish second in the group, and the Ukrainian side even went toe-to-toe with Juventus and Chelsea in the group stage.
In the final draw, Real Madrid avoided AC Milan and Arsenal, but instead drew Shakhtar Donetsk.
The expedition to Ukraine in February and March will definitely be a big test for Real Madrid.
Not only that, but this Shakhtar Donetsk team also includes famous European stars such as Luis Adriano, Teixeira, Fernandinho, Douglas Costa, Srna and Ziglinski, and the overall strength is good, which will also pose a huge challenge to Real Madrid.
Even in contrast, Real Madrid is more willing to draw Arsenal and AC Milan, whose overall strength has declined significantly, and is not willing to touch this Ukrainian powerhouse.
But no matter what, the draw was drawn, and Real Madrid had to do their best to beat their opponents.

When Yang Yang and Real Madrid got off the bus with the Club World Cup championship trophy and set off from the airport to the Bernabeu, there were people waiting for him in the Valdebebas training base.
