Chapter 783

This year, there is not much suspense about UEFA's Champions League best.

Yang Yang led Liverpool to win the quadruple crown, and the limelight swept the entire European football world. He is recognized by everyone as the best player. No one would believe that this award will go to others.

Unless, UEFA wants to smash its own brand.

The best goalkeeper was given to Edwin van der Sar of Manchester United. The Dutch veteran broke the myth of Cech, the Chelsea goalkeeper, and became the best in Europe.

In contrast, whether it is Liverpool's Reina or Barcelona's Bardels, they are still much inferior in terms of stability, and they cannot compete with Van der Sar at all.

The best defender was given to Chelsea's central defender Terry. This is a rather surprising result, but again, Liverpool's defenders are still slightly inferior in terms of defensive stability, while Barcelona is mainly good at passing and holding the ball in the midfield. There is really no defender comparable to Terry.

However, the best midfielder is different. The competition is very fierce. In the end, Barcelona's Xavi defeated Liverpool's Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, and teammate Iniesta to win this award and became the best midfielder in the Champions League last season.

As for the last two awards, which are also the least suspenseful, the best striker and the best player in the finale were awarded to Yang Yang, who played for Liverpool before but now plays for Real Madrid.

Yang Yang came to the stage to accept the awards one after another. When he delivered his speech, he specially thanked the players of his old club Liverpool. He said that he would always remember his life and games in Liverpool, and at the same time, he would cherish the friendship with Liverpool players.

Although Yang Yang has never mentioned it to the outside world, Gerrard himself is very clear that although Yang Yang wants to leave, he is more or less forced to leave by the club's financial situation, so he has no dissatisfaction with Yang Yang's transfer.

At the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco, Gerrard and Gerrard were proud to witness Yang Yang winning two awards. After receiving the awards and leaving the stage, they excitedly embraced this friend who had fought side by side for three years.

……

Unlike the best award, there is not much suspense, but the draw of the UEFA Champions League group stage made the representatives of the 32 teams nervous, especially the six non-La Liga seeded teams, no one wanted to meet Real Madrid.

However, in the end, it was AC Milan who was unlucky.

In the draw, the Rossoneri were unlucky to draw Real Madrid, the third draw drew the Ligue [-] team Marseille, and the fourth draw drew Zurich, Switzerland.

This also met the expectations of the outside world, because before the draw, the major media have speculated that Real Madrid will either draw AC Milan or Liverpool. The reason is very simple.

In the end, Kaka is about to return to the San Siro Stadium to challenge his old club.

Real Madrid has invested a huge amount of money this summer, and their overall strength has improved significantly. It is not difficult to advance to the group. Although AC Milan has sold Kaka, its strength has weakened a lot, but the background is still there, and the possibility of advancement is also not small.

The only suspense is Marseille. This Ligue [-] team is very strong. This summer also introduced powerful stars such as Bordeaux's Diawara and Porto's Gonzalez.

It is unlikely that Marseille wants to subvert the two giants, but the Ligue [-] team definitely has the ability to disrupt the situation.

More importantly, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Marseille have all won the Champions League. Former Real Madrid stars Morientes and Heinze are currently playing for Marseille, Huntelaar is playing for AC Milan, and former Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho and Brazilian talented rookie Pato are currently in the Rossoneri.

Therefore, the group where Real Madrid is located is also full of highlights.

……

After the lottery results came out, Yang Yang said in an interview with the media that Real Madrid can draw such a lottery as a team in the second tier, which is not bad, but not good either.

"Actually, we don't care who we draw, because for us, the result is the same, we have to try our best to come out of the group, no matter who our opponent is, we have to put in every game and try to win."

"AC Milan, Marseille and Zurich are strong teams, but I would say that this year Real Madrid is also strong."

Yang Yang's words seemed to be confirmed by the outside world.

After the results of the draw were announced, the famous European bookmaker Betwin offered the odds of winning the Champions League round of 32. Real Madrid ranked first at [-], followed by Barcelona at [-], followed by Chelsea at [-] and Manchester United at [-].

Liverpool has been crippled this season, only [-], tied for sixth with Inter Milan.

Obviously, everyone is very optimistic about the star-studded Real Madrid.

But the key still depends on whether Benitez can quickly integrate the team in the shortest possible time and create a rigorous and stable whole.

…………

…………

On the evening of August 29th, at twenty o'clock sharp.

In the [-]-[-] season, the opening game of La Liga, Real Madrid played against Deportivo at home.

This is the first official match of the superstar Real Madrid at home after the reorganization, and this match also has a special meaning, that is, Bolt, the world record holder of [-] meters, came to the scene to kick off for both sides.

Benitez made some adjustments to the team lineup in this game.

The goalkeeper is Iker Casillas, the defense is Maxwell, Pepe, Ramos and Arbeloa, the midfielder is Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, Kaka advances, Yang Yang is on the left, Ibrahimovic occupies the center, and Raul is on the right.

Benitez arranged for Raul to start to replace Robben. The purpose is also very clear. After all, this is the first game of the new season. With an experienced veteran like Raul and the captain of the team, he can stabilize the morale of the army.

As the world-famous Mr. [-] Million Euros, Yang Yang's presence naturally became the most feared area for opponents. The right back Laure, the winger Luca, and even the defensive midfielder Juan Rodriguez, the three of them formed a triangular position, almost firmly locking Yang Yang on the side.

Deportivo's strategy is also very clear, Yang Yang must be restrained no matter what.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Luca got a yellow card for fouling Yang Yang while retreating.

However, Yang Yang's direct free kick went slightly wide this time and failed to pose a threat.

But in the next few minutes, under Yang Yang's active instigation, Real Madrid won four consecutive corner kicks, but they failed to pose a threat. Until the 9th minute, Real Madrid created the first real threat since the opening.

Yang Yang took the ball from the left to plan an offensive, and Maxwell stepped in to participate in the attack. After receiving the pass from Yang Yang, he passed it diagonally to the penalty area.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic ran to the right side of the penalty spot knowingly and stopped the ball with his chest. Raul moved extremely cleverly and rushed directly to kick the goal.

But the shot hit the left post and bounced off.

Subsequently, Real Madrid got another corner kick opportunity, and it was Raul's shot in the restricted area, which was blocked by the defender of Deportivo.

After the continuous offensive after the opening, Real Madrid almost suppressed Deportivo at halftime.

……

Yang Yang felt quite a bit on the court.

Deportivo is not a weak team, even in European football, it was once a strong team that could keep pace with AC Milan.

But it was such a strong team, when facing Real Madrid, they were suppressed so that they could not move.

Not only that, Real Madrid also continuously created opportunities.

This situation is something that Yang Yang has never experienced before in his career. From Ajax to Liverpool, and now Real Madrid, Yang Yang feels that the teammates around him are getting stronger and stronger, and the overall competitiveness of the team is getting better and better.

So good that he even had an illusion that as long as he ran out of the open space, the ball could come to his feet.

And in fact it is.

The ball was passed from Raul's feet on the right to Arbeloa, who passed it obliquely into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic blocked the opponent's central defender with his body, stopped the ball, and then passed it back to Kaka who stepped in to respond.

As soon as the Brazilian stopped the ball, he looked to the left and immediately passed the ball straight to the left of the penalty spot.

But at this time, Yang Yang was like a ghost. He didn’t know when he suddenly appeared in this position. The entire left half of Deportivo’s goal was exposed in front of him. When he stopped with his left foot, he pushed with his right foot and the ball scored! ! ! !
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"No. 16 minutes, Yang Yang, who represented Real Madrid in La Liga for the first time, scored his first La Liga goal and opened the scoring for Real Madrid, [-]-[-]!"

"This is also the first goal in La Liga this season!"

In the cheers of the audience, more than 8 Real Madrid fans stood up and cheered for Yang Yang's goal.

All the Real Madrid fans shouted Yang Yang's name loudly.

This is the first time that Yang Yang let his name fly over the Bernabéu.

……

After conceding a goal, Deportivo also showed rare bloodiness and began to organize a counterattack, and planned a wave of offensive in the first minute. Forward Ricky shot a long shot, which was thrown into his arms by Iker Casillas.

After the Real Madrid goalkeeper got up from the ground, he looked up and looked forward, kicked the ball forward with a big kick.

Deportivo's defense line was pressed too high, and Casillas's big foot drove directly behind the opponent's defense line.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the opposing central defender rushed towards the ball at the same time.

The Swedish center is also eager to score goals in his debut, to prove his strength as the world's top center.

But when he was about to catch up with the ball at the front of the penalty area, Deportivo's goalkeeper Alan Subia made a decisive attack, rushed out of the penalty area, and directly cleared the siege with his feet against the falling ball.

In a hurry, in order to avoid Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was rushing forward, Alan Subia chose to kick the ball to the right side of his side, which is the left side of Real Madrid, and wanted to find Laure.

The ball came to the middle circle, but Yang Yang had already taken a step ahead before Laurel could catch the ball. He didn't even stop, facing the ball directly with a big foot.

Only a bang was heard at the scene, and the ball flew out from Yang Yang's feet and fell towards the goal that was already unguarded.
