Chapter 1482

In the four matches in the second round of the UEFA Champions League round of [-] knockout rounds in the middle of the week, Barcelona beat Chelsea [-]-[-] at home, Bayern Munich defeated Turkey's Besiktas [-]-[-], Roma [-]-[-] at home, with a total score of [-]-[-] to reverse Shakhtar Donetsk, Manchester United lost [-]-[-] at home to Sevilla, regrettably failed to advance to the quarter-finals.

After all eight games have been played, three La Liga teams have reached the quarter-finals, which can be described as strong.

After the lottery, Real Madrid had the worst luck, drawing last season's Champions League final opponent Juventus, Bayern Munich drew Sevilla, Manchester City and Liverpool staged a Premier League derby, and Barcelona met Roma.

…………

…………

La Liga No.20 nine rounds, Real Madrid vs. Girona at home.

A week later, Real Madrid faced their opponents in the best condition. Yang Yang kicked his head and kicked both sides. He scored five goals.

…………

…………

In the No.30 round of La Liga, Real Madrid once again carried out a substantial rotation.

Yang Yang sat on the bench again, concentrating on preparing for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League away to Juventus in the middle of the week.

Without Yang Yang, Real Madrid still has a star-studded lineup. Suarez and Mbappe partnered as two strikers and performed very well. In the end, Mbappe scored twice and Suarez scored a goal.

This is also the first time Mbappe has won the title of best player on the spot in the league after joining Real Madrid.

After the game, the media gave the French teenager overwhelming praise. Yang Yang and Zidane also accepted media interviews and spoke highly of Mbappe's performance.

"I train with him almost every day, so I know that he is working hard towards the top player in the world at a very fast speed. I believe that he will soon become the most important person in the team."

After Yang Yang’s interview was released, many media also reposted the reports, thinking that Yang Yang hand-picked Mbappe to take over his class. Many media believed that Mbappe’s performance in the first season after joining Real Madrid showed that he has great potential.

"Although it is too early to replace Yang Yang, he is playing an increasingly important role in the Real Madrid team."

……

Mbappe is getting better and better, and even gradually accepted as the most ideal standard bearer for Real Madrid after Yang Yang, but at the same age as him, another player in the Real Madrid team who was also regarded as Yang Yang's successor has encountered the biggest crisis since his career.

Martin Erdegaard, born on December [-], [-], was only three days earlier than Mbappe. He was once the hottest super talent in European football, and everyone placed high hopes on him.

He was selected for the Norwegian national team at the age of 15, and joined Real Madrid at the age of 16. The transfer fee was as high as 560 million euros, and the annual salary after tax was as high as 200 million euros.

But after a stellar start to Real Madrid, Odegaard dimmed with incredible speed.

During the period of Real Madrid's second team, strike training, negative games, conflicts with teammates and coaches...

All kinds of rumors made him fall into the quagmire, and gradually lost his former glory.

During the winter break of [-], Real Madrid rented Erdegaard to Heerenveen in the Eredivisie, hoping that he could stay away from the hustle and bustle, but a year and a half later, he did not show convincing progress and potential.

If it is said that he was still familiar with him in the first half of the year, then this season, he played 37 games for Heerenveen on various fronts, scoring three goals and five assists.

What's more terrible is that in the No.20 ninth round of the Eredivisie, Heerenveen challenged Hercules in the away game. In the No.601 minute, Odegaard was injured and left the field.

When the news reached Spain, the media immediately compared Odegaard and Mbappe.

Two people of the same age have completely different development paths. Mbappe has been shining all the way, but Odegaard has driven high and low.

After Odegaard was seriously injured, the media also reported that the Real Madrid technical team had lost confidence in him. The possibility of selling him this summer cannot be ruled out. After all, the after-tax annual salary of 200 million euros is indeed too high for a 19-year-old player, and it is too high to be overwhelmed.

But currently there are almost no teams interested in Erdegaard. The Netherlands Telekom revealed that Heerenveen is considering a coaching change. The club is still studying whether Erdegaard will continue to loan. As for the transfer, it is basically unrealistic.

According to media analysis, if Real Madrid wants to sell and cannot find a suitable player, it does not rule out sending him back to the Norwegian League.

It is really embarrassing that the genius boy of the past has fallen into the current situation.

But this is professional football!

……

Regarding what happened to Erdegaard, Yang Yang couldn't help much, because there are too many such players.

He has fought side by side with Erdegaard and trained together many times. In his impression, this is a young man with great strength and potential, but unfortunately, he does not think Erdegaard should be in the right winger position.

In Heerenveen, he has been imprisoned on the wing, which stifled his talent, but exposed his lack of speed, so the one and a half year loan in Heerenveen was actually ineffective.

Now that he is seriously injured and fractured, it is even more of a test for him.

Even if he is not careful, if he can't pass this hurdle, then he probably really has to go back to his hometown in Norway.

This is also normal, professional football is so cruel, there is no mercy.

Yang Yang tweeted about Erdegaux, sent him his own blessings, cared about his injury, and wished him a quick recovery. As for other things, it was very difficult for Yang Yang to do anything.

The media pays attention to eyeballs. Fans always pay attention to successful players, but they have never paid attention to them. Every year, cases like Odegaard’s injury to Zhongyong are rare in European football. Even within Real Madrid, a large number of young players are eliminated every year.

Each of these people used to be a star of hope, a potential rookie that Real Madrid placed high hopes on, but gradually, none of them met Real Madrid's expectations for them, and eventually they either went to other weaker teams or leagues, or simply gave up their dream of professional football.

No one knows if Erdegaard will be next.

…………

…………

On the evening of April [-]rd, Real Madrid challenged Juventus away in the first round of the Champions League quarterfinals.

Juventus has learned from the previous experience and lessons when facing Real Madrid and adopted a more secure and balanced [-] formation.

The goalkeeper is Buffon, the defense is Asamoah, Chiellini, Barzagli and De Sciglio, the midfielders are Sandro, Khedira, Bentancur and Douglas Costa, and the double forwards are Dybala and Higuain.

In the away game, Real Madrid still focused on stability, and once again arranged a three-back formation.

The goalkeeper is Navas, the defense is Marcelo, Varane, Ramos and Carvajal, the midfielder is Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Modric, Isco replaces Hazard as the midfielder, and Yang Yang and Suarez form a double forward.

Real Madrid's strategy is still very clear, that is, try to control the situation first, use their own advantages in passing and possession, and the protection of the defense from the three midfielders, first ensure that their defense will not be easily penetrated by the opponent, and then consider the offense.

Isco still plays the role of a free man in the frontcourt. He can roam in any position in the midfield and cooperate with his teammates to form a local numerical advantage, and then penetrate Juventus' defense.

This is a tactical formation with a relatively clear distinction between offense and defense, but Real Madrid's frontcourt players have super personal abilities. Whether it is Yang Yang, Suarez or Isco, as long as the opponent exposes his flaws, he will immediately be threatened by Real Madrid.

More importantly, Real Madrid is more cautious in terms of starting tactics and selection, but the start is extremely aggressive.

Unlike Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus's game rhythm is slow, which is a typical Italian team style. If Real Madrid wants to head-on, it will undoubtedly be quite difficult.

Therefore, Yang Yang believes that playing Juventus should also start the game first, but it is different from Paris Saint-Germain.

At the Parc des Princes, Real Madrid's intention to start the game was to disrupt the opponent's rhythm. Paris's game rhythm has always been relatively fast, with every step of the press. Real Madrid wants to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, and then make themselves play more comfortably.

But in Turin, Real Madrid's aim is to score goals.

Grabbing a goal forced Juventus to press out and speed up.

With this tactical purpose, Real Madrid took advantage of the kick-off opportunity at the beginning of the game and took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Juventus.

In just 1 minute, Real Madrid scored into Juventus' penalty area.

After Suarez received a direct pass from Isco on the left side of the penalty area, under the entanglement of Barzagli, after barely protecting the ball, he knocked back from the baseline to the penalty spot.

Yang Yang ran out of the gap, and faced the incoming ball with no one to defend, he pulled up and shot angrily, and hit a very fast volley.

Veteran Buffon stood to the left, but this time he was extremely brave. He quickly swooped sideways and volleyed Yang Yang with a single fist as if with divine assistance.

All the fans in the audience lost their voices.

Just 1 minute into the game, Real Madrid forced Buffon to make a world-class save.

After Yang Yang kicked the goal, he also tried to go forward to participate in the miss, but the ball flew directly to the outside of the penalty area, which shows the strength of this shot.

Modric grabbed the second spot outside the penalty area, stopped the ball, and passed it forward to Carvajal on the right.

Yang Yang was blocked by Chiellini in the small penalty area. Behind him was Barzagli. Two central defenders sandwiched him in the middle, but Yang Yang immediately pointed to his right after seeing Carvajal take the ball.

That is, the direction of the penalty kick in the Juventus penalty area.
