Section 851 The fatigue of long-distance running
(Cat Flutter Chinese) Back in Real Madrid, Zhao Yaning sat on the bench again. Against Almeria, he did not start.
Although the game when he returned to play for the national team was an official national team break, it stands to reason that everyone was equally tired. But, in reality, Real Madrid now needs to go back to the national team every game, and there are not many of them. And when it comes to the need to travel long distances by plane for intercontinental travel, Zhao Yaning is the only one who is alone, so after the national team break, he is also the player who Real Madrid has to sit on the bench, after all, he is the one who needs to rest at this time.
The so-called fatigue of the national team's match day, in fact, is mostly consumed on the journey. People say that away games are tiring, but it's the journey that is tired, not the game itself. Zhao Yaning made an intercontinental flight, and logically speaking, it would be good to be able to reverse the jet lag, and it was not appropriate for him to be put into the game immediately.
Carlo Ancelotti understands this, and Real Madrid also have enough good players in the rotation. In this game against Almeria, although Zhao Yaning's position was replaced by Mata, Real Madrid still won easily, and Higuain, who got the chance to start the game, scored two goals and won more attention for himself.
After this game, Real Madrid also ushered in a home match against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. In this game, the Shakhtars' football was obviously more ferocious, but after seeing their counter-attacking football in the last game, Real Madrid coped with this game more calmly. Ibrahimovic once again played his part, smashing past the opposition defenders at the Bernabeu. In this game, Ibrahimovic scored one goal and two assists, played extremely brilliantly, and was rated as the best of the game.
Zhao Yaning, who scored two goals, did not look very eye-catching in this game. Although he was well timed and scored beautifully, people didn't think he was playing very well.
This kind of thing is also surprising. Zhao Yaning's score after the game is not the highest in the team, which is rare.
"Perhaps, people are just used to it." In this regard, the media also commented, "After getting used to Zhao Yaning's crazy style of play, people will no longer think that there is anything bizarre about Zhao Yaning's good play." Ibrahimovic has one goal and two assists in one game and he has to be commended because it was a good game for him. But Zhao Yaning scored two goals, and it was just that he did his job. The current Zhao Yaning, when he is not wearing a hat, when there is no one to challenge a back line, it is no longer enough to make people excited. People's requirements for players are different, and Zhao Yaning has Zhao Yaning's own unique standards. ”
People are different, and Zhao Yaning's strength is so good that people have different requirements for him. Although he is a midfielder, his efficient goals have made people look at him as a striker, and now he has scored two goals, but there is no amazing performance, which is not enough to excite the media.
When you see a monster, people get excited, and after two years of watching a monster, you don't get excited.
After this game, Real Madrid won three games and drew one in four games, and it also ranked first in the group with ten points. It's just that the trouble is that Bayern is still two draws and two wins in four games, ranking second in the group with eight points, and has not completely distanced itself from Real Mara.
It's a real headache and Real Madrid certainly don't want to be second in the group – who knows which team they will face when they finish second in the group? Being the first in the group is much safer than being the second in the group. Then, in order not to fall behind, Real Madrid has to continue to work hard in the Champions League and try to gain an advantage.
After all, Real Madrid is fighting on two fronts, and this trouble is really not small.
And after Barcelona returned to their home stadium, they got a chance to turn over. Although they were beaten away by a counter-attack from Kazan Ruby, they returned to home and won comfortably thanks to the Camp Nou's stadium and reduced counter-attacking efficiency. Their group is much better than that of Real Madrid, Sporting Lisbon is not big enough to compete with them for the top spot in the group, while Kazan and Bucharest are simply here to play soy sauce, their game is much easier, and they can also focus more energy on the league, which is also a big advantage for them.
It's really troublesome to fight on two fronts.
Back in the league, Ancelotti didn't dare to hold it up anymore. In the game against Malaga, Zhao Yaning played as the main force again. After two games of playing soy sauce, Zhao Yaning played quite well in this game.
And when he works hard, it's often when his opponent is unlucky. Malaga was originally a team that favored Barcelona, and they also wanted to stop Real Madrid, but in this game, they were extremely embarrassed by Real Madrid.
Zhao Yaning scored a hat trick in this game, Ibrahimovic knows how to reciprocate, in the last game, Zhao Yaning helped him play well and won the best of the game, in this game, he continued to feed the ball and helped Zhao Yaning win the best of the game.
Ibrahimovic is not a man who is greedy for chances on goal – in fact, he has never scored many goals, and even at Inter Milan, many people ridiculed him for not even scoring a few goals on a single shot. He has always played smart, and it is precisely because of this that Ancelotti has always been thinking about developing him into a suitable secondary attacking talent.
And now, he has a bit of a shadow of this.
In this game, 5-1 at home, Real Madrid once again won a big home game. Zhao Yaning scored three goals, Ribery scored one, and Yaya Toure bounced off the opposing defender with a long-range shot to create an own goal. Although Ramos made another mistake and caused Real Madrid to concede a goal, in the end, Real Madrid still won a big victory.
"Zhao Yaning's performance in this game made us relive the nightmare again. The national team game involved his energy some time ago, so he didn't play very well in the league, but when he returned to the league after his national team game got excellent results, he was the Zhao Yaning we are familiar with again. After two consecutive rounds of not scoring and a little relieved La Liga, it was immediately a hat-trick, his performance was still terrible, and now, he is still a mountain on the head of the La Liga team, a monster that no one can fight. ”
And in this game, in addition to Zhao Yaning, there is another one who played well, that is, Pepe, who appeared as a back. Although in the game, he received a yellow card again because of his excessive movements, but his ferocious interception was indeed an important aspect of Real Madrid's victory.
"Pepe has shown his dominance as a top midfielder. He tackles ferociously, intercepts well, and although he doesn't have excellent offensive ability, he also shows quite good strength by relying on his interception ability. But the only problem is that Pepe needs to be mindful of his foul count. The problem of his excessive fouls is also something to watch out for. He has already accumulated three yellow cards since the start of the season, and if he doesn't pay attention, he may have accumulated enough five yellow cards for suspension before meeting Barcelona. If he is banned in the national derby, then he will cause real Madrid a lot of problems. I hope he pays attention to himself and doesn't get into trouble. ”
The media focused on the fact that the game was more exciting. Pepe's fierce strength will definitely bring a lot of highlights to the national derby, so the media is now hoping that such a wonderful matchup will not be disrupted by Pepe's excessive fouls.
"What's the big deal, it's a big deal to apply for two yellow cards before the game, and just miss it after a round of suspension." In this regard, Pepe is very open-minded, "Barcelona was Sevilla before, and if the game is suspended, it will not be done." ”
Shuffling is a wrong thing, and deliberately committing a foul is never an honorable thing. However, this kind of thing is too difficult to define, so the punishment has never been severe. If you are really afraid that something will go wrong against Barcelona, you have to do that.
Anyway, this kind of thing is in the mouth of the media. If you have a good relationship with the media, you will be a witty shuffle, and if you have a bad relationship with the media, you will be shameless with the players.
In the next match against Valladolid, Real Madrid won easily. A game of this level can no longer pose a threat to Real Madrid.
And then, in the home game against Zenit, Real Madrid also emerged victorious. Although Zenit also put up some resistance, it was difficult for them to resist Real Madrid's attack at their own home stadium, so when it came to the away stadium, they were no different.
The match ended in a 2-0 match. Raul scored a goal and Franck Ribery scored in the Champions League. But in this game, Zhao Yaning did not score a goal, but only gave Raul an assist.
"You don't really want to exceed my Champions League goal total, as the media said, so when you play, you deliberately restrained, right?" Privately, Raul also asked Zhao Yaning. But Zhao Yaning denied it. Although he did have such an idea, he would not admit it to death.
Raul's heart is not as broad as he thinks, and if he exceeds his Champions League goal total, he will have a pimple in his heart even if he doesn't say anything on the surface. There is no need to make him uncomfortable for the sake of a false name. Anyway, it's a matter of time before he surpasses him, so why rush?
Although Raul is not broad-minded, he is also a person who understands current affairs. As long as he doesn't blindly pursue a record, he can forgive himself.
And at this time, the headache is that Bayern also won a victory.
They have 11 points in the group and could overtake Real Madrid in the final round. Therefore, Real Madrid's last game needs to be taken very seriously.
"This season, I'm really tired. The six games in the Champions League group are more and more tiring one game at a time, and in the league, they can't lose a single game. We haven't lost a game this season, how do you feel and the pressure is still so high? ”
Zhao Yaning was also very emotional about this.
Barcelona is not easy to deal with at all. Speaking of which, the Premier League needs more than 90 points to win the championship, and the current La Liga is not a virtue? Of course, La Liga teams have fewer hard bones, which is a good thing, but the level of seriousness required is not bad at all.
This long-distance season run may not end well. For the first time, Zhao Yaning felt that this season might really be quite troublesome. Cat flutter Chinese
