Chapter 923 The Triple Crown Dream
The next day, Real Madrid narrowly beat Barcelona [-]-[-] at home, which quickly became the focus of media coverage around the world. Yang Yang scored twice in this game and won unanimous praise from the media and fans.

More importantly, the second goal is still a crucial finale lore, meaning more than just three points.

On the headlines of the front page, Yang Yang posted a long-range photo of Yang Yang tucking a football into his jersey to pretend to be a pregnant woman and galloping to celebrate after scoring the second goal.

Commentators said that this is a victory for Yang Yang.

"Judging from the process of the game, Benitez has undoubtedly given up the idea of ​​winning. He is still preparing for the upcoming Copa del Rey final. This is exactly the same as the guess before the game. Real Madrid pays more attention to the Copa del Rey final."

"And in the final stage of the game, after Barcelona couldn't attack for a long time, Guardiola also gave up his determination to win, because his team failed to find an effective way to break through Real Madrid's defense in 10 minutes, even though they had one more player than their opponents throughout the second half."

"It can be said that at the last moment of the game, including the players in the stadium, the fans in the stands, and the audience in front of TVs all over the world, almost everyone believes that this game will be a draw and shake hands, but only Yang Yang is still looking for opportunities."

"The Goddess of Victory finally favored this hard-working superstar. At the last moment of the game, Yang Yang gave him a crucial chance. Yang Yang also showed his strength and value as the No.1 player in world football. He calmly grasped the opportunity at the critical moment and earned a direct free kick from Pique."

"After playing for more than 90 minutes, Yang Yang is undoubtedly exhausted, but he still chooses to take the penalty by himself, which shows his strong self-confidence, and he did not disappoint. He achieved it overnight, with a wonderful deciduous kick, piercing through Barcelona's goal. Valdez didn't even have time to react."

"This is not so much a victory for Real Madrid, but rather a victory for Yang Yang."

"The two goals, especially the second goal, fully reflect the importance of Yang Yang to this Real Madrid team."

Marca also analyzed that after winning Barcelona in this game, the points gap between the two teams was successfully shortened to two points. This is undoubtedly crucial to Real Madrid, and it is also of great significance to La Liga and fans.

"There are still six rounds left in the league, and Real Madrid managed to shorten the gap to two points. This means that as long as Barcelona makes a mistake, Real Madrid will replace it and reverse to reach the top. This requires Guardiola's team. Must maintain a record of complete victories in the remaining six rounds to be sure of winning the championship."

"It's certainly a tall order."

According to the analysis of Marca, the biggest weakness of Guardiola's team is that their bench is not strong, and the first team has fewer players than Real Madrid. Guardiola doesn't have many cards available, especially in the second half.

Barcelona's MVP combination is the guarantee of the team's offense this season. This pair of tridents once created an offensive storm, which made the entire La Liga and European football frightened.

A very important reason is that Guardiola does not trust Bojan, especially after Bojan was injured, Barcelona's striker basically has no one to use, so they can only let the MVP trident play every game.

Not only forwards, but also midfielders and defenses. Guardiola has very few players available. Whether it is Seydu Keita, Afella, or Bartra, none of them can make Guardiola feel relieved to entrust them with important tasks.

"Before the game, everyone knew that after the Derby of the Century, Real Madrid and Barcelona would go to Valencia for the Copa del Rey final. Benitez hid Robben and Kaka in this game, and also replaced Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Xavi Alonso early, but Guardiola let the main players such as Messi, Xavi and Iniesta all play the whole game."

"This is a signal that couldn't be more obvious. Guardiola has very few players who can use it. It is also a question of how much this group of Barcelona players can play at the Mestagna Stadium after playing the whole game and fighting on multiple fronts."

"Guardiola's abacus should be to win Real Madrid in the away game and win La Liga ahead of schedule. In this way, Real Madrid's morale is bound to be shattered. In the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid had to take the initiative, which gave Barcelona a chance."

"But Yang Yang's second goal completely disrupted Guardiola's layout and intentions. Now, Barcelona lost [-]-[-] in the away game. The original five-point lead has been shortened to two points. Each of the next six games will be a decisive battle. The morale of the Barcelona players has been severely hit. Coupled with the physical disadvantage..."

"It should be said that before the Copa del Rey final, Guardiola's team was even more worrying, but Real Madrid's morale was like a rainbow."

……

In addition to Marca, many Spanish media such as AS, Mundo, and El País, as well as mainstream European media, have summarized and analyzed the Century Derby, and also previewed the Copa del Rey final three days later.

Without exception, everyone agreed that Yang Yang's second goal not only brought the team three points and victory, but also reversed the situation in the league, and more importantly, created a better situation for the next Copa del Rey final.

"If Guardiola is not careful, it is very likely that he will lose two consecutive events this week." Catalonia's daily sports newspaper reminded the team without worry.

Barcelona star Cruyff criticized Real Madrid's tactics in his column, believing that Benitez's defensive strategy is anti-football.

"Judging from the team formation in this game, Benitez's tactics only gave me the impression that he had no thought and no pursuit. The only thing he wanted was a draw, and relying on luck and Yang Yang, he got three points."

Cruyff rarely gave Yang Yang a good evaluation, but for Real Madrid, he still thinks it is far inferior to Barcelona.

But soon, the Marca newspaper published the column of Di Stefano, the honorary chairman of Real Madrid, which was dictated by Di Stefano, written by a reporter from the Marca newspaper, and published after being approved by Di Stefano.

The Real Madrid legend refuted Cruyff's remarks, believing that Real Madrid played bloody and kicked out the club's traditional Juanito spirit.

"It's hard for me to imagine that if Real Madrid presses out to fight against the opponent when there is one less player than the opponent for a long time, will it be a group of brave fighters? Or stupid reckless people?"

Di Stefano believes that Real Madrid should admit the gap. At this stage, Barcelona is still the best team in the world and plays the best football, but Real Madrid should not belittle themselves, because the team has defeated Barcelona in four league games in the past two years. This is an unprecedented feat.

"I am optimistic that the team will continue to win against Barcelona in the next Copa del Rey final, or even the Champions League."

In the end, Di Stefano believed that he had become a fan of Yang Yang.

"He's an incredible player, and what's even more unbelievable is that he's only 24 years old and still has a few years to go in his prime. I'm very fortunate that I'm living through an unprecedented era in football."

…………

Guardiola did not pay attention to the various rumors flying around the outside world.

After returning from the disastrous defeat at the Bernabeu, he conducted closed training in the Gamper Sports City and declined all interviews.

Internally, he told all the players that the [-]-[-] loss to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu was not an unacceptable result. He was very satisfied with the process of the game, because Barcelona firmly controlled the situation and rhythm from beginning to end.

"The most important thing is the next six league games, we will play each game as a final!"

Guardiola also mentioned Barcelona's advantage, which is the Champions League.

Real Madrid will face Manchester United in the Champions League. This is definitely a battle between dragons and tigers. Benitez's team is very familiar with the Premier League, but Manchester United's overall strength is very strong. Real Madrid must go all out, which is bound to be a distraction.

But Barcelona is different. Although Schalke [-] has reached the semi-finals, its overall strength is not outstanding. There will be no suspense for Barcelona to win the opponent, so Barcelona can focus more on the league.

Even Guardiola proposed to win Schalke Zero Four early in the first round of the semi-final.

The Champions League is in the final, the Copa del Rey is in the final, and as long as you don't make mistakes, the La Liga championship is in your pocket.

Guardiola drew an exciting blueprint for the team, that is the Triple Crown!
In the summer of [-], the dream they were eager to realize, but almost failed to realize!
Back then, they lost to Yang Yang and Benitez's Liverpool!

……

After the players heard Guardiola's analysis and encouragement, their morale was restored to a certain extent, but the data fed back by the coaching staff was not satisfactory.

The physical exhaustion caused by fatigue combat is the number one problem facing Barcelona now.

Many players in the team are facing a physical crisis, but Guardiola has no replacements in his hands.

He tried it before and gave opportunities to Seydu Keita, Bojan and others, but their performances were not satisfactory.

Against other teams, they may still be competent, but facing Real Madrid and Yang Yang, they will become the weakness and unstable factor in Barcelona's formation.

Contrary to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid's bench thickness is better, which is particularly important in continuous fierce battles.

When Barcelona's rotation space is getting smaller and smaller, Benitez has more and more choices.

Even now, Guardiola and his team can't figure out what kind of tactics Benitez and his Real Madrid will play at the Mestagna Stadium three days later?
Will it start the attack?
Will Kaka and Robben play at the same time?
Is that a double midfielder or a triple midfielder?

A lot of problems came to Guardiola's mind, which made him frown involuntarily.
