Chapter 887 The Enemy of Life

Yang Yang staged a hat-trick in the battle of return!

This piece of news caused carnival among the media and fans all over the world. Messi had already received the news when he returned to Gamber Sports City after playing Almeria last night. He was very surprised.

But as soon as he thought it was Yang Yang, he felt relieved again.

In the past few years, if there is anyone in European football who can continue to bring "surprises" to Messi, it must be Yang Yang, because this opponent who is regarded by Messi as the "enemy of life" has always been so outstanding and so eye-catching.

Ronaldo scored twice in his comebacks several times. Unexpectedly, his loyal fan Yang Yang scored a hat-trick.

If Messi was in a good mood last night, then today, when he returned to Gamper Sports City and read the morning newspaper, his mood was not so good. At least, he lost the smile on his face.

Yang Yang is declaring war on him!
In the current La Liga scorer list, Messi is far and away ahead. He has scored [-] goals in total.

And Yang Yang has only scored three goals so far. This is his worst season since his debut from Ajax, except for the season when he first debuted.

Of course, this is only superficial data, because strictly speaking, Yang Yang has only played more than 20 minutes so far this season.

A guy who had been absent for more than two months due to injury and performed a hat-trick after playing for more than 20 minutes after he came back, declared war on himself. Messi was a little excited and a little uneasy.

Judging from the history of competing with Yang Yang for many years in the past, Messi has to admit that Yang Yang is really strong, but can't he be strong enough to reverse the current situation of falling behind by [-] goals?

Messi didn't know, he was sure and confident in himself, but he couldn't predict Yang Yang.

……

"This guy is really a militant!"

My friend Pique suddenly appeared beside Messi and said eagerly.

"Do you want me to kill him for you?" Pique asked Messi with a smile.

Puyol, who was next to him, slapped Pique on the back of the head, and said coldly, "He can talk big, can you keep an eye on him?"

Pique turned his head and saw that it was Puyol, and he dared not speak any more. He curled his lips dissatisfied, but he dared not reply.

Everyone in the locker room burst into laughter.

Pique is still quite popular in the dressing room, and he is very good at activating the atmosphere.

"Yang Yang's comeback at a critical moment, especially this hat-trick, has greatly improved Real Madrid's morale." Harvey has always been relatively calm and rational. "With him, this game will be even more difficult."

"Yeah, this guy Yang Yang is also a pervert. You said he was absent for more than two months. If he was replaced by someone else, his legs and feet must be rusted. Not to mention his state is overwhelmed, even if he can't keep up with the rhythm of the game. How can he recover without a few game adjustments? But he is fine. He scored a hat-trick in more than 20 minutes. He is simply not human!" Pedro was obviously very afraid of Yang Yang.

With Yang Yang around, Real Madrid is even more powerful.

Although Barcelona is currently ranked first in La Liga, everyone knows that in La Liga, the teams that really have the strength to win the championship are Real Madrid and Barcelona. Therefore, to some extent, in the eyes of many people, the two century derbies determine the championship.

Of course, Barcelona currently has a clear lead. Real Madrid made too many mistakes in the early stage and lost serious points. The possibility of Barcelona missing the championship is very small, and the club has also begun to raise its season goals to the Champions League and the Copa del Rey.

You know, Guardiola has been coaching the team for more than two years, and has won both La Liga and the Copa del Rey, except for the Champions League.

Reached the final in [-], but lost to Yang Yang's Liverpool; stopped in the semi-finals in [-], losing to Mourinho's Inter Milan, both of which hit Barcelona hard.

To some extent, Barcelona's desire for the Champions League now far exceeds La Liga.

Because, Real Madrid won the tenth Champions League last season!

"You said, will Benitez arrange Yang Yang to start in a week?" Iniesta, who has been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

Everyone couldn't help showing a look of thought, but they all shook their heads.

"Benitez has always been good at winning by surprise. Who can guess what he is thinking? Besides, although Yang Yang is coming back, the outside world is guessing about his state and physical condition, and no one knows." Harvey replied.

The atmosphere in the locker room was a bit stiff, obviously the pressure on Yang Yang was still very uncomfortable.

In the past few years, Yang Yang has always been the confidant of Barcelona players.

"If you want me to say, there is no need to think too much." Pique stood up again at this time, grinning and shouting, "Real Madrid is indeed not bad, and Yang Yang did play a good game after his comeback, but so what? We beat Almeria [-]-[-]. Didn't we play well?"

Everyone thought it made sense when they heard it.

Pique seems to be careless and careless, but he can't stand the critical moment. He is very courageous. He never knows how to write when he is afraid of words, and he will always be brave.

"This season we stick to the rotation strategy, and the starting lineup has been adjusted all the time. The purpose is to allow each of us to get adjusted and rest, to recharge our batteries, just for this decisive battle at the end of November. Isn't it just the time when we are at our best and our morale is at its peak?"

Everyone nodded again.

Whether it is from the performance on the court, the final result, or the atmosphere within Barcelona, ​​Guardiola's rotation strategy this season is very successful, and Barcelona is indeed in its best state.

"Real Madrid has Yang Yang, but we have Messi. Yang Yang is just a lucky guy who has just returned from injury and scored three goals with the help of the team's strong offense. But our Messi has scored fifteen goals in the league alone this season, which is five times that of Yang Yang. What are we afraid of?"

Speaking of this, Pique patted Messi on the shoulder vigorously, as if to give him courage and confidence.

When Messi heard this, he also realized that he seemed a little too afraid of Yang Yang before.

To put it bluntly, Yang Yang is just a person, as long as he is a person, he cannot be invincible.

Just because he didn't beat him before doesn't mean he can't now.

Twelve goals ahead of Yang Yang, if Messi is not confident to beat Yang Yang now, then he may never have confidence in the future.

Thinking of this, Messi gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

The other Barcelona players in the locker room were also stimulated by Pique's words, and their eyes became ruthless.

…………

…………

Cristiano Ronaldo also received the news and saw the news the next morning.

Yang Yang returned to the first game and played as a substitute for more than 20 minutes. As a result, he scored a hat-trick and provided an assist. This can be said to make the media and fans all over the world excited like a festival.

But the Portuguese saw it, and the originally excellent mood suddenly became clouded, and felt a burst of depression.

The shadow that had been hanging over my head for many years, I thought it was about to break through, but unexpectedly it suddenly became thicker.

The Portuguese would certainly not be willing to hear this news, but he was certainly not a vegetarian to be able to get to this day, so he quickly adjusted, and his whole person began to become more motivated.

Originally, he thought that this season would be a battle between him and Messi, but unexpectedly, after Yang Yang came back, he actually made a call for a fight, which undoubtedly made this contest more interesting and suspenseful.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a person who likes to pursue excitement, as if he likes to keep changing girlfriends, he enjoys the feeling of conquest.

But now, since Yang Yang has even signed the gauntlet, he has only one choice, and that is...

Fight!

…………

…………

Playing the Champions League in the middle of the week, this is the fifth round of the group stage.

Real Madrid is already in the final stages of qualifying. As long as they don't lose at home against Twente in this round, they are basically of no value. Therefore, Benitez did not arrange for Yang Yang to play, and he did not even enter the squad.

But in fact, the game was not easy. It was not until the second half that Harvey Alonso's long-range shot broke through Twente's goal, scored three points for Real Madrid, and advanced from the top of the group ahead of schedule.

Real Madrid is also the fastest group leader so far this season.

In Group D of the Champions League, Barcelona had to travel long distances to go away to challenge Greece's Panathinaikos.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage this season, Barcelona also stumbled.

They beat Panathinaikos [-]-[-] in the first round, but what they didn't expect was that in the second round, they were tied [-]-[-] by Rubin Kazan in the away game, and then drew [-]-[-] with Copenhagen in the away game.

Fortunately, there are no real strong teams in the same group, so Barcelona basically has no challengers in this group, and this time the away game against Panathinaikos is also a qualifying match for Barcelona to hit the top of the group.

Guardiola has recently begun to stabilize the team and basically does not rotate.

Goalkeeper Valdes, the defense is Adriano, Pique, Puyol and Alves, the single midfielder is Busquets, the midfielder is Iniesta and Xavi, and the front trident is Villa, Messi and Pedro.

This basically represents Barcelona's strongest starting lineup, and it is also in everyone's judgment. The starting lineup of Real Madrid will be shopping at the weekend. The only thing that is more suspenseful is the left back. Whether to use Adriano or Abidal will depend on Guardiola's arrangements at that time.

The same lineup, after beating Almeria [-]-[-], beat Panathinaikos [-]-[-] away.

Pedro scored twice, Messi scored a goal, assists were Alves, Adriano and Iniesta.

This basically reflects that Barcelona's overall style of play is very stable at present, and the overall state of the players has also been adjusted quite well. The consecutive victories have also made Barcelona full of unprecedented confidence in the upcoming derby of the century.
