Chapter 827 The Hero of the Bernabéu
On the evening of March 45, at [-]:[-], at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.

Yang Yang was wearing a white Real Madrid jersey, standing on the left side of the center circle, opposite his teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Champions League match ball sponsored by Adidas is placed between the two.

The Swedish center forward is Arjen Robben, and on the side of the two, in the direction of Real Madrid's own half, is Sneijder.

Xavi Alonso and Mascherano form a double midfielder, followed by Marcelo, Vermaelen, Ramos and Arbeloa, and finally goalkeeper Casillas in front of the goal.

This is Real Madrid's main lineup in recent times.

It is almost the same lineup three days ago, also in this stadium, which reversed Sevilla [-]-[-].

I don’t feel anything just looking at the score, and even seeing Real Madrid’s 60.00% possession rate of 35 is nothing special, but in this game, Real Madrid shot as many as [-] times, reaching the highest since the season.

Even looking at the past few seasons, this game against Sevilla has the highest number of shots.

35 shots, [-] shots on target, and six goals scored. This conversion rate is good enough, and it also proves that Real Madrid's current operation is becoming more and more smooth, and the organization of the midfield is also getting better and better.

Sneijder had found his best form as the team's best passer, with Xabi Alonso in charge of the organisation, Mascherano in charge of the defense, and Real Madrid's midfield achieved the balance Benitez had hoped for.

But if it’s just that the team’s offense is excellent, then it’s no big deal, because after the winter break, Real Madrid’s performance has been better than one game. Especially in the last few rounds, the team’s offensive has been more fierce. No one in the world will question Real Madrid’s offensive firepower.

But in this game against Sevilla, the real improvement came from the team's defense.

In more than 90 minutes of the game, Sevilla had only two shots, and none of them were on target. The only goal came from Xavi Alonso's own goal.

Sevilla's performance in recent years is also very impressive. In La Liga, it is second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and even slightly better than Valencia. The offensive firepower is also very fierce. It is known as the third strongest offensive team in La Liga.

But it was such an opponent who was forced by Real Madrid to only take two shots at home, and didn't even have a chance to hit the goal once. It can be seen how much defensive pressure Real Madrid put on the opponent throughout the game.

This data has been unanimously praised by all media and professionals after the game. Everyone believes that Real Madrid's performance in this game is impressive and creates a good atmosphere for the next Champions League game.

Benitez used the lineup he played against Sevilla in this game. Obviously, he also wanted to continue the good state of the team before, continue to oppress Lyon at his home court, and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, making his first breakthrough in six years.

……

With the whistle of the Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli, amidst the cheers of the Bernabéu, this focus battle officially kicked off.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic took the lead in kicking the ball to Yang Yang. Yang Yang turned around and passed back immediately, passing Sneijder and passing directly to Xavi Alonso.

Lyon striker Benzema pressed hard and quickly closed in on Xabi Alonso.

The Spanish midfielder diverted the ball to the left, handing it to Marcelo.

Marcelo dribbled the ball forward, trying to break through from the left, but Lyon players blocked him, forcing him to pass a cross to Mascherano for the midfield to reorganize.

The ball bounced back and forth a few times in Real Madrid's backcourt, and once again came to the feet of Xavi Alonso. The Spanish midfielder sent a diagonal pass directly to the frontcourt.

Ibrahimovic retreated, stopped the ball with his back, and passed it back to Sneijder who was advancing quickly.

As soon as the Dutch midfielder received the ball, before he had time to wade over, Lyon's midfielder Toulalan suddenly rushed up, dribbling him to the ground, and gave Real Madrid a direct free kick in the 30-meter area of ​​​​the frontcourt.

The distance was exactly 30 meters, and the position was in the middle. Yang Yang walked to the penalty spot without hesitation.

Seeing him, the entire Bernabéu stadium once again burst into cheers.

Yang Yang was unmoved, and after setting up the ball, he slowly backed away.

……

"Here's the ball!"

In the Real Madrid chairman's stand, Zidane sat beside Florentino and smiled at the Real Madrid chairman.

"So sure?" Florentino was also very happy.

Soon, the chairman of Real Madrid remembered the news that was exposed by the media not long ago, saying that Zidane had a free kick match with Yang Yang after training, but was defeated by Yang Yang.

"In this position, within 35 meters, Yang Yang's hit rate is very high and very stable." Zidane said confidently.

Florentino kept nodding, "You can't be careless, after all, Lyon's human wall is not a dead thing on the training ground."

Valdano on the other side laughed, "I agree with Zinedine, I bet on Yang Yang."

The two right-hand men both supported Yang Yang, and Florentino really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

In fact, he also hopes that Yang Yang can score goals.

This goal was scored, and for Lyon, it was tantamount to a nightmare.

At that time, it will be difficult for Pierre's team not to press out and attack.

……

Not only the VIPs in the Real Madrid President’s Stand understood this truth, but the audience inside and outside the stadium and in front of the TV also knew how to analyze the situation. They also knew clearly that if this free kick was scored, it would really help Real Madrid open the door to the quarter-finals.

This is a goal scored in the first minute!

How could Yang Yang himself not know?

But he was still the same as usual, with his eyes closed tightly, adjusting his breathing and emotions, and then slowly opened his eyes, looking at the wall of people in front of him, estimating their height and the height they might jump up later.

After the Italian referee Rizzoli set up the human wall, he slowly backed away and blew the whistle for free throws.

Yang Yang took a deep breath and ran forward quickly.

Lyon goalkeeper Lloris stared at the front with a solemn face, and he could clearly see Yang Yang's every move.

When he heard the muffled sound of a free throw, his attention fell on the top of the wall. Seeing the ball quickly bypassing the wall and heading towards the goal, the French goalkeeper immediately judged the ball.

Right?

No, left!

Just after Lloris took a step to the right, he quickly judged the direction of the ball, quickly moved to the left, and flew out with the whole person.

He is left-footed and his left hand is his dominant hand. He stuck out his left hand and tried to block the ball directly.

But just after he swooped out, he found that the ball suddenly dropped in mid-air.

This sudden change made him feel as if he was falling into an ice cellar. His flexible left hand tried to reach down, but it still couldn't reach it.

The ball got into the Lyon goal from Lloris' hands.

One to zero!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Another direct free kick!"

"Yang Yang!"

"Just one minute into the game, Yang Yang opened the scoring for Real Madrid with a direct free kick!"

"My God, his free kick was very tricky. He almost hit the goal by rubbing against the post. Although Lloris judged the direction, the ball had obvious changes in the air. In the end, the Lyon goalkeeper was still out of reach."

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he was so excited that he clenched his fists and waved them in the air.

Real Madrid players quickly swooped in from all directions, surrounded him in groups, and everyone stepped forward to celebrate Yang Yang's goal.

All the fans in the entire Bernabéu were also shouting Yang Yang's name hoarsely.

hero!

This is their hero!

At critical moments, Yang Yang stood up again and again and scored key goals for the team again and again. Such a player is not a hero, so who else is?

"Yang Yang's free kick skills can be said to be superb. I believe that if Juninho, the original core midfielder of the Lyon team, is still there at this moment, there will be a battle between the two free kick masters."

"But now, although the midfielder of the Lyon team has Pjanic, a young free-kick player who replaces Juninho, Yang Yang on Real Madrid's side is obviously better. He has scored consecutive free kicks."

"Obviously, Lyon should regret their mistake, because they should not have given Real Madrid a direct free kick in such a good position within Yang Yang's range."

After Yang Yang celebrated with his teammates, he turned around and cheered for fans in all directions.

The whole stadium was shouting his name, like a tsunami, sweeping the entire Bernabéu stadium.

And Yang Yang is the focus of everyone's attention.

It was also at this moment that everyone really saw the top eight!

……

The fans in the stands cheered, and Florentino and the VIPs from Real Madrid in the chairman's stand were also celebrating happily.

The happiest was Florentino.

In his own home court, the chairman of Real Madrid didn't need to hide his joy and excitement when his team scored a goal. He couldn't help standing up from his seat, applauded Yang Yang in the stadium vigorously, and then sat back down again.

"Sure enough, as you said, the ball is here!" Florentino laughed.

Yang Yang's goal is his honor, and he is naturally inexplicably happy to put gold on his face.

More importantly, this goal opened the door to victory for the team and opened the door to the quarterfinals.

This is something that everyone in Real Madrid has been looking forward to for the past six years, but it is something that Galacticos and Calderon and others cannot achieve.

In the past six years, Real Madrid fans have been rejected by the Champions League quarter-finals. How disappointed they are, how excited and excited they will be at this moment.

Florentino even gave birth to a wave of ambition, turned his head, nodded to Zidane beside him and said: "If we can maintain the current state, not only the quarter-finals, I feel that the tenth Champions League is not far away."

Zidane and Valdano also nodded again and again.

is not that right?
