Chapter 908
Casillas' red card was unfair. After being sent off, the Real Madrid players were outraged. In addition, Yang Yang took the initiative to stand for Marcelo and supported the Brazilian left back as the captain of the field. The two worked together to boost the morale of the team.

This series of events completely inspired the blood of Real Madrid, and every player became furious.

In terms of ball possession, Real Madrid is definitely at an absolute disadvantage, maybe even only about 40.00%, but they get more opportunities, especially counterattack opportunities.

The Espanyol has always been a team with a relatively balanced offense and defense. They have played 22 rounds this season and are currently ranked sixth in La Liga. They have scored [-] goals, conceded [-] goals, and have a goal difference of zero.

But one thing is very obvious, that is, the Spaniard is obviously not good at dealing with the opponent's defensive counterattack.

Especially the defensive counterattack of a strong team like Real Madrid.

……

In the opening 6 minutes, Real Madrid quickly counterattacked. Yang Yang single-handedly dribbled the ball to the left side of the Spaniard's penalty area. He earned a corner kick with his personal ability, but the subsequent corner kick failed to create a threat.

Only 3 minutes later, Yang Yang took the ball in the frontcourt again. After a cross pass, Harvey Alonso followed up with a long shot, which was saved by goalkeeper Kameni.

No.12 minutes, Harvey Alonso scored the ball to the left. After Yang Yang dribbled the ball inward at high speed from the left, he suddenly took a long shot and hit a powerful shot, but failed to score directly.

No. 19 minutes, another long pass from Harvey Alonso, Yang Yang inserted at high speed and succeeded in anti-offside. He made a volley shot from the top of the penalty area and was held up by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Real Madrid adopted a more pragmatic tactical strategy, focusing on defense and waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

It looked like the team had lost possession, but actually created more counter-attack opportunities.

Everyone gradually began to believe that even if there is one less player than the opponent, the team is still capable of defeating the opponent.

The premise is that we must do a good job of defending and wait for the opponent to make a mistake.

And at No. 204 minutes, the Spaniard made another mistake in the attack.

……

Mascherano tackles, and Xabi Alonso quickly pokes Kaka in front of him.

The Brazilian player picked a pass directly, trying to cross the center line to find Ibrahimovic in front.

Unexpectedly, the Swedish center backed back to defend near the center circle just now, causing Kaka's kick to pass directly to the Spaniard's center back.

This should have been an offensive coordination error by Real Madrid, and Real Madrid themselves were about to give up and reorganize their defense.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was on standby, ready to press the opponent's ball, while Yang Yang quickly pushed forward to apply pressure.

The Swedish center is tall and burly, with a slow speed and consumes a lot of energy in activities, while Yang Yang has more physical energy, faster speed and more flexibility, so the two often exchange positions, and Yang Yang goes forward to press.

But at this moment, the Spaniard's central defender didn't know whether he was too nervous or didn't pay attention to the situation during the retreat. Without any pressure, he even directly headed the ball and pushed Kaka's pass back.

This sudden change caught everyone by surprise, but Real Madrid's players reacted one step faster.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic rushed over quickly, grabbing the most favorable position where everyone directly blocked with their bodies, and after a chest stop, he quickly kicked the ball behind the defense line with his right foot.

Yang Yang understood it, and almost at the moment Ibrahimovic passed the ball, he quickly started, went straight behind him, rushed ahead of the Spaniard's defender, stopped Ibrahimovic's pass, and dunked in the middle, as if to cut inside.

The Spaniard had three full backs back to defend. At high speed, the right back quickly stopped following Yang Yang and entangled him immediately, but Yang Yang kicked the ball back with his right foot, and took a step outside with his left foot to control the ball.

He is waiting!
Wearing the captain's armband of Real Madrid for the first time, Marcelo felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, and Yang Yang's support for him made him very grateful, and at the same time he was full of fighting spirit.

He must show the performance that the captain should have.

Therefore, when he saw Yang Yang advancing quickly, Marcelo also advanced as quickly as possible.

This is his cooperation with Yang Yang.

And when Yang Yang stabilized the ball and faced the defender directly, Marcelo did not slow down and went straight to the outside of Yang Yang.

Yang Yang has partnered with him for a year. As soon as he saw Marcelo from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the defensive player again. He immediately passed the ball to the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area.

Marcelo went straight into the penalty area at the fastest speed, ahead of everyone, and caught up with Yang Yang's pass.

The cooperation of the two players on the left side of Real Madrid directly penetrated the Spaniard's defense, forcing the Spaniard's right back and two central defenders to rush to Marcelo's side desperately.

But at this moment, Marcelo suddenly made a dunk on the left side of the small penalty area, and passed the ball backwards with his left foot to the arc of the penalty area.

At this time, Yang Yang had already thrown off the defensive player, crossed into the top area of ​​the arc at the fastest speed, faced Marcelo's return pass, and shot directly. The ball followed a straight line and crashed into the lower right corner of the Spaniard's goal.

Goalkeeper Kameni tried to prevent Marcelo from standing to the left, but he couldn't stop it at all.

One to zero!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"No. 204 minutes, No. 204 minutes, Yang Yang opened the scoring for Real Madrid!"

"This is an assist from Marcelo. After hitting a post, Yang Yang used a precise push to penetrate Kameni's goal and scored a goal for Real Madrid."

"One to zero!"

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he pointed to Marcelo immediately, and he rushed out of the court quickly.

The Brazilian left back also jumped towards Yang Yang immediately, and the two celebrated the team's goal in the corner area.

The other Real Madrid players also ran over one after another, hugging the two together.

This is the left side of Real Madrid!
Two players broke the entire defense of the Spaniard!
Of course, all of this happened during a high-speed counterattack, which caught the opponent by surprise, but it definitely reflected the strength of Real Madrid's left attack.

"It was quite a surprise."

"After the start of the game, Real Madrid's ball possession rate was only 30.00%. But if you look at the number of shots, Real Madrid is going to overwhelm the Spaniard, and now it is Real Madrid who scored the first goal. This has to be said to be a very strange phenomenon."

"It's not hard to see that Real Madrid's defensive organization is very good, especially the overall positioning and defensive order of the players. This reminds us of the games we played against Barcelona in the last two seasons. Real Madrid played very patiently and efficiently."

"Obviously, Real Madrid voluntarily gave up possession of the ball with one less player in the opening game, and adopted a strategy of playing Barcelona to deal with the Spaniards. The Spaniards are not Barcelona. Their passing and control are not as skilled and stable as Barcelona. They make more mistakes and are more fatal."

…………

…………

After scoring a goal, Real Madrid achieved what they wanted, and at the same time severely frustrated the Spaniard's spirit.

Perhaps considering that Real Madrid's main goalkeeper was sent off at the beginning, Lahoz's law enforcement in this game did not favor the home team, not only ensuring the smooth progress of the game, but also severely punishing the Spaniard players in several law enforcements.

Especially after Real Madrid scored the lead, the Spaniard's players looked somewhat impatient.

In contrast, Real Madrid showed the temperament of a strong team tonight. Whether it was the wrongful red card sent off as the captain, the team chose to respond strongly, created more threats, and finally took the lead, or the patience shown in the process, let people see the stability and maturity of a strong team.

But ten to eleven in the game, even if Real Madrid's overall strength is far superior to the opponent, it is still too much.

Only No. 60 minutes into the second half, Benitez had to make substitution adjustments.

Javier Martinez replaced Kaka, Real Madrid set up a three midfielder formation.

Everyone also understands Benitez's intentions very well. This may seem conservative, but it is the most pragmatic choice.

The reason is simple. Barcelona lost points in this round. Real Madrid can shorten the gap as long as they recover this game. There is still suspense in La Liga. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Real Madrid's tactics should be result-oriented.

Real Madrid's strict defense, even if it is as strong as Barcelona, ​​they can't easily penetrate it, let alone the Spaniard.

Although there is one less player than the opponent, Yang Yang's goal made everyone see hope and feel confidence. Every player worked together, performed very hard, and executed tactics meticulously. He blocked the Spaniard's attack time and time again and resolved the goal crisis.

The best opportunity in the second half happened in the second minute of No.80. After Ibrahimovic made a steal in the frontcourt, he quickly passed the ball to Yang Yang. Yang Yang dribbled the ball to the left side of the penalty area and made a pass.

It is not difficult to see the unity of the Real Madrid players.

Even Zlatan Ibrahimovic tried his best, the team really exhausted their energy.

And soon, Benitez made the last substitution, replacing Zlatan Ibrahimovic with Granero, continued to strengthen the defense of the midfield, retreated Martinez to the defense line, Marcelo pressed to the midfield, and Yang Yang was left alone in the frontcourt to counterattack.

Until stoppage time, Yang Yang got another chance to shoot on the left side of the penalty area, and then created a direct free kick opportunity. This was originally an excellent opportunity to score, but Yang Yang has tried his best at this time.

In the end, this free kick hit the wall directly and failed to hit the arc.

The physical consumption is too high, and Yang Yang can't control his technical movements to stay out of shape, so he can only miss the scoring opportunity.

But in the end, Real Madrid narrowly beat the Spaniard [-]-[-] with Yang Yang's goal in the away game.

This is definitely a heroic tragic victory!
