Chapter 1241 The Transcendent Yang Yang

The away game defeated Barcelona 10-[-]. Mascherano was elected as the best player of the game by virtue of his excellent performance in [-] and [-] minutes of the whole game. The evaluation of the Argentine midfielder was that he re-proved his worth through a wonderful game, and once again regained his position in the midfield competition.

Marca publicly stated after the game that Real Madrid should keep Mascherano, because the Argentine midfielder is an important stabilizer for Real Madrid's midfielder, especially in the absence of Modric.

Aspen editor-in-chief Alfredo also said that Javier Mascherano's presence has made Real Madrid's defense solid again.

"In fact, Ancelotti's team has been having problems defensively this season, and even to some extent, this is an exchange. Ancelotti chose to sacrifice a little defense to activate the team's offensive firepower."

Alfredo believes that Real Madrid's choice in the first half was correct, because the existence of two technical midfielders and an attacking midfielder made Real Madrid's midfielder very creative and controllable.

"At least, we can't find another midfielder who can be as complete as Modric."

The editor-in-chief of Aspen compared Modric with Deco in the second Barcelona dream team. He believed that the two midfielders are very comprehensive and versatile, and can be competent in many different positions such as front midfielder, midfielder and defensive midfielder. Both offense and defense are very good.

"In fact, everyone has always been worried. Deco's state and physical fitness have declined rapidly since he was 30 years old. This is an almost irreversible trend. This time, Modric's serious injury has further deepened the worries of the outside world. That is, can the Croatian midfielder regain his peak state?"

By September 30, Modric will officially be [-] years old, and this four-month serious injury is indeed very worrying, because it has always been a taboo to be seriously injured during a sensitive period.

A young player like Jesse has abruptly interrupted his rapid upward momentum, while a veteran player like Modric is likely to exacerbate the decline in physical function.

In this environment, Alfredo believes that Real Madrid should prepare early and let a defensive midfielder like Mascherano return to the main position. I believe it will be a good choice.

In addition to Marca and AS, Serge Radio host Jose de la Morena, who has always been known for breaking news, broke the news in his own program. The second half against Atletico Madrid, the game against Getafe, and even the Barcelona game, which brought Mascherano back to the main position, were all contributed by Yang Yang and Zidane.

"As we all know, in Real Madrid's tactical system, Yang Yang has always occupied a pivotal position. Ancelotti even allowed him to be a player before, directing players on the field or standing on the sidelines. This is tantamount to recognizing Yang Yang's particularity, but now, Yang Yang's detached position is becoming more and more obvious."

"In the past few years, only the captain and deputy captain of the team and Yang Yang have been able to attend high-level meetings among Real Madrid players. In many cases, even the captain and deputy captain were not able to participate, but Yang Yang received the invitation. Everyone at Real Madrid knows that making Yang Yang play more happily at the Bernabeu is everyone's top priority."

"During the winter break, everyone believed that Real Madrid's slump was caused by fatigue, so Yang Yang took the lead to stand up and speak out on behalf of the locker room, hoping that Ancelotti would pay attention to the substitute players and carry out more intensive rotations. As the game progressed, the problem gradually became apparent. The defensive midfielder is the key to Real Madrid's weakness, and Yang Yang stood up to make an appeal."

"He is not the captain, but in fact, his status in the locker room cannot be ignored by the captains and even the head coaches in the past. Even Ancelotti was able to take over Real Madrid smoothly. Yang Yang's nod and approval was the key. This has long been known to everyone."

"Nowadays, Yang Yang is constantly expanding his influence in the locker room and even Valdebebas. He has even begun to express his attitude and play his role on some important issues related to Real Madrid."

De La Morena believes that Yang Yang's positive statement is what Real Madrid's management and technical team hope to see, because they hope that the team can be more united around Yang Yang, and hope that Yang Yang can play more happily in Real Madrid.

As for whether Yang Yang's judgment is correct, De La Morena has reservations.

"Judging from the last three games, Real Madrid's stability in the second half against Atletico Madrid, and the clean sheets against Getafe and Barcelona all prove the value of Mascherano's existence, but the league is long. Whether Yang Yang's call is correct or not needs more and longer games to verify."

…………

On the weekend, in the No.20 round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Cordoba away.

The conditions of the Arcongil Stadium are very poor, the turf is even broken in many places, and the home attendance rate is also quite poor. Even with the arrival of the superstar-studded Real Madrid, the stands around are still empty, and there are not many fans at home.

Real Madrid launched a fierce attack on the visiting team from the very beginning, but their luck was always poor. In the opening game, Yang Yang cut in from the left to hit the center post, and then his kick after passing three opponents was bravely saved by the goalkeeper.

Mascherano got the start again. This is his three consecutive starts in the past week, and his performance has been more stable and better than the previous game. This has made Real Madrid's defense firm and stable.

Until the end of the first half, Cordoba's defense finally showed its flaws.

Yang Yang retreated to the outside of the penalty area to catch the ball and turned around. He kicked a pass to the left. Hazard inserted into the penalty area at high speed.

Entering stoppage time, Yang Yang retreated to catch the ball again and split the ball to the left. Hazard passed the ball obliquely to the back of the goal. Suarez followed up and shot from close range in front of the goal. Once again, he broke through Cordoba's goal and gave Real Madrid a two-goal lead.

After changing sides in the second half, Real Madrid made a threat in the first attack. Carvajal quickly made a pass from the right. Yang Yang made a high-speed shot and scored a header near the penalty spot. Real Madrid made another victory, [-]-[-].

In 3 minutes, Real Madrid repeated the old trick, but this time it was Yang Yang who pulled out the gap, and Suarez then inserted a header and scored. It was still an assist from Carvajal on the right, four to zero.

In the 605th minute, David Silva sent a corner kick and Javi Martinez scored with a header, [-]-[-].

No. In the 80th minute, Hazard and David Silva hit the wall consecutively, and sent a wonderful pass in the penalty area. Yang Yang, under the interference of the defensive player, scored the goal, [-]-[-].

Subsequently, Real Madrid scored a goal in No. 80 and 88 minutes respectively, and De Bruyne assisted Suarez to score a goal. The Uruguayan striker scored a hat-trick.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Córdoba with eight balls and won a hearty victory.

……

The away victory over Cordoba is not enough to explain the problem, because the opponent's strength is indeed too weak.

More importantly, Barcelona has also been in great form in the last few rounds. First, they defeated Atletico Madrid [-]-[-] at home, then they won La Coruña [-]-[-] away, and this time they defeated Elche [-]-[-] away.

The two heroes of the Western Super League have ushered in a strong recovery in the recent period, which has also caused a lot of changes in the ranking of La Liga.

Real Madrid is currently only one point ahead of Barcelona because of one less match. It should be said that the two teams bite each other very tightly.

Atletico Madrid has fallen behind recently, but it is still only three points behind Barcelona and may catch up at any time.

Although Simeone's team has lost several important players this season, it is still quite competitive.

If we say that Real Madrid's halfway momentum is daunting, then the trough after the winter break is worrying. It was not until recently that Mascherano returned to the main position that Real Madrid's performance stabilized again.

But in late January, when the transfer market was about to close during the winter break, there was another news from La Liga that Real Sociedad intends to buy back Illarramendi, but the player himself did not come forward to clarify, but took a silent response.

This has to make people wonder, does Illia Lamendi intend to return to Real Sociedad?

In fact, as early as last summer, Athletic Bilbao once wanted to rent Illarramendi, but Real Madrid was very optimistic about this local midfielder, and did not think about renting or selling him, even in the winter break.

However, according to the news from the player’s hometown media, the high-intensity competition and competitive pressure when playing in Real Madrid, as well as the tension brought about by the world’s attention all the time, made Illarramendi at a loss.

Such rumors and the attitude of the players have all attracted the attention of Real Madrid.

Yang Yang, Ramos, Ancelotti, Zidane, and even Valdano and others have communicated with Illarramendi one after another, showing Real Madrid's trust and support for him, but the attitude of the players is still inclined to "go home".

In the end, Real Madrid's attitude was that they couldn't go during the winter break, and they had to wait until summer.

So soon, Iliaramendi stood up to clarify his transfer rumors, and Real Madrid officials once again reiterated their attitude towards Iliaramendi, expressing their trust and support for him, and believing that he can play his own world in Real Madrid.

But everyone inside Real Madrid knows that if Illararamendi still cannot adapt to the environment and competition of Real Madrid in the next six months, he will return to Real Sociedad at a discount in the summer transfer after half a year.

This also means that Real Madrid's cultivation of Illarramendi has failed in the past period of time.

Yang Yang watched Illia Lamendi come in with his own eyes, and his performance was indeed not bad, but if the player's character really didn't adapt, then no one could force him, and he could only feel sorry for it.

But this is professional football!

This is the risk and cost of training young players!
