Chapter 830 The classic of five consecutive championships
After playing Lyon, Real Madrid received a flood of praise from the outside world.

The depression that had been accumulated for six years broke out completely at this moment, forming an overwhelming momentum, flocking to Valdebebas in the northeast of downtown Madrid, sweeping everyone in Real Madrid.

But on the afternoon of the second day of the game, before the team's training, coach Benitez and captain Raul jointly called the players for a meeting.

The meeting even alarmed Real Madrid chief executive Manuel Redondo and director Valdano to attend.

Throughout this season, Real Madrid has had two important key nodes.

The first is the century derby, away game against Barcelona is Real Madrid's first big test of the season.

Then came the Champions League round of [-] knockout rounds.

Regarding the UEFA Champions League group stage, Real Madrid never thought that they would stop there. If Benitez could not lead the team to advance from the group stage, he would be dismissed. As for the Copa del Rey, this game is not taken seriously.

Judging from the current situation, Real Madrid's completion of the first two nodes is very high.

They beat Barcelona [-]-[-] in the away game and eliminated Lyon [-]-[-] in the two rounds. They all successfully completed the team's scheduled goals, and the team will then adopt a two-line battle.

What kind of opponents will be encountered in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, what kind of tactics will be adopted, these are still unknown.

For this line, Benitez's strategy is to take one step at a time and play every game seriously.

But in La Liga, Real Madrid is currently five points ahead of Barcelona. With [-] rounds left in the league, it will be very challenging for the team to keep this lead.

In particular, it should be noted that the No.30 round will play against Barcelona at home.

The difficulty lies in the fact that before playing Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid will usher in the second round of the knockout round of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Benitez is also full of worries about this part of the schedule. No one knows who the opponent in the Champions League quarter-finals will be, but one thing is certain is that the game will be very difficult. It is definitely not a good thing to meet Barcelona after the quarter-finals.

"This schedule is not easy, but it should be noted that we feel hard, and Barcelona will not be easy, so the key lies in the next five league rounds. We need to maintain the lead over Barcelona in these five games, and at least control it to three points."

Ushering in the second century derby of the season with a three-point lead, this will give Real Madrid players a psychological advantage.

To put it bluntly, it doesn’t matter if you lose, Real Madrid is still at the top of the list, but if you draw or even win, Real Madrid will further expand their lead. Conversely, if Barcelona wants to reverse in La Liga, they can only beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

When the game reaches the level of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​psychological factors often become very important.

For example, in the first round of the match between the two sides, Real Madrid can be said to have seized the opportunity from the moment they entered the Nou Camp.

Although in La Liga, the strength of Real Madrid and Barcelona can be said to be outstanding, other teams are not enough to watch, but at the same time distracted by the Champions League quarterfinals, the pressure on Real Madrid is also great.

The opponents in the next five games are away to Valladolid, home to Sporting Gijon, away to Getafe, home to Atletico Madrid and away to Racing Santander.

The first two games are the most confident, because these two games are played once a week, and the opponent is not strong. Real Madrid can basically win the opponent with a stable performance, but the last three games are very challenging.

Both Getafe and Atletico Madrid are derby matches, needless to say the difficulty, especially Atletico Madrid.

Hill, the former chairman of the Sheets Corps, once said that Atletico Madrid can say all the games for the entire season, as long as they can win Real Madrid.

It can be seen that for Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid is a tough bone at any time.

Needless to say, Racing Santander eliminated Real Madrid from the Copa del Rey, and their strength is not bad.

In contrast, although Barcelona's opponents include difficult opponents such as Valencia and Athletic Bilbao, they are all at home. Guardiola's team is still very competitive at the Nou Camp.

……

After a round of in-depth and straightforward analysis by Yesterdan, everyone on the team clearly understood that the team's next challenge is still very big.

Not only the unknown opponent in the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League, but also the mortal enemy like Atletico Madrid in the league, and the upcoming second derby of the century.

Yang Yang was not surprised at all, because this is a professional league.

The competition in La Liga is not fierce. After all, the overall strength of Real Madrid and Barcelona can be described as the best.

If this is thrown into the Premier League, the challenge faced by the team will be even greater under the situation of two-line combat.

So much so that everyone feels that Liverpool's quadruple title last season can be said to be a miracle.

After the coaching staff analyzed the situation, Captain Raul issued an appeal as a player representative. All the team members can withdraw from the celebration of Lyon's elimination from the Champions League and take a serious look at the current challenges and crises.

"Being able to successfully advance to the quarter-finals and achieve the goal that has been impossible to achieve in the past six years, as the captain of the team, I thank everyone for their efforts and sacrifices for the team, but I also sincerely hope that everyone can understand that we are still far from success, and we should not be satisfied with it."

Raul's appeal has also been enthusiastically responded by the players.

As the number one star in the team, Yang Yang said that he absolutely supports Raul, and that what he said in an interview with Marca after the game was not a lie, but a desire from the heart.

"Don't you think it's very exciting to reproduce the legendary classic of five consecutive championships in our home court after half a century?" Yang Yang deliberately wanted to arouse the interest of his teammates.

Real Madrid's five consecutive championships, which can be said to be the key record for Real Madrid to win the greatest club of the [-]th century, and the second championship among the five consecutive championships, which is the second European Champions Cup final in history, was held at the Bernabéu Stadium.

With legendary stars such as Di Stefano, Kepa and Gento, Real Madrid defeated Fiorentina in Italy [-]-[-] at home and successfully defended their Champions League title.

How great this record is, you can see that the current honorary chairman of Real Madrid is Di Stefano.

Recreating the legendary record of more than half a century ago and winning the Champions League at the Bernabéu Stadium is quite attractive to Real Madrid players and fans.

And since 1980, Real Madrid has not hosted the Champions League final for 30 years.

Therefore, if Real Madrid can really reach the Champions League final this year, it will not only make history, but also detonate the entire Madrid and even the Spanish football market.

If they can really win the championship, then all the players in the current Real Madrid team will be recorded in the history of Real Madrid.

Whether it is for fame or profit, Yang Yang's words have successfully aroused the interest and fighting spirit of Real Madrid players.

…………

…………

On the evening of March 20th, in the sixth round of No.[-] in La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Valladolid away.

When the game progressed to No. 207 minutes, Valladolid's Brazilian midfielder Nivardo fouled Sneijder and gave Real Madrid a free kick in the frontcourt about 25 meters away from the goal. Yang Yang once again stood on the penalty spot.

After high-fiving Sneijder, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and others, he set up the ball and slowly backed away.

In the first 20 minutes or so, the team has been attacking Valladolid. Except for the two threatening counterattacks of the home team striker Diego Costa, Real Madrid has created almost all the wonderful pictures on the court.

But Valladolid, who played at home, not only defended very tenaciously, but also moved relatively rough. Obviously, it was expected that the referee team on duty tonight would be soft in law enforcement, and they were playing at home, so they wanted to use this method to limit Real Madrid.

This is also the strategy that many teams adopt when facing Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​because their players are far less expensive than the stars of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and they want to use this method to bluff the stars of the two giants.

However, this time a direct free kick gave Yang Yang an excellent opportunity.

……

Yang Yang stood with his feet apart, with a straight posture, looking straight ahead, paying attention to the human wall in Valladolid.

The home fans booed all over the sky, and the fans in the stands behind the goal even interfered with Yang Yang's free throw.

Obviously, they all know that Yang Yang's free kick skills are considered top-notch in today's world.

But all of this, accompanied by the referee's whistle, was completely cleared out of Yang Yang's mind.

He ran forward with a quick run-up, shot directly with his right foot, and quickly sent the ball out.

The ball crossed an arc, passed over the jumping wall, headed towards the upper right corner of Valladolid's goal at a very fast speed, and precisely rubbed the corner area between the post and the crossbar, and got into the home team's goal.

Although the goalkeeper Bilal had judged the direction, his reaction was a step slower and he couldn't stop it at all.

One to zero!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"

"It's a direct free kick again!"

"Yang Yang's direct free kick skills are among the best in the world, and he is the best free kick master in the world!"

"Look at this free kick. The speed is very fast, reaching a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, and it has an obvious drop. This is definitely a nightmare for all goalkeepers!"

After Yang Yang scored a goal, he didn't celebrate as much as usual, but the teammates around him still jumped up one after another to celebrate this goal for him.

Another direct free kick!
And it was the first record!

Yang Yang's free kick is gradually becoming Real Madrid's big killer, and it also has very important strategic significance.

In the future, when any team enters its own 30-meter zone, it is estimated that it will seriously consider reducing unnecessary fouls.

Otherwise, as long as Yang Yang appears on the court, it is really a foul equal to conceding a goal.

……

Perhaps it was stimulated by this direct free kick, or maybe Valladolid had already formulated foul tactics.

After Yang Yang scored a free kick and opened the scoring for Real Madrid, Valladolid further intensified his actions, especially the foul against Yang Yang, which became more and more rough.

Until No.40 minutes...
