Chapter 939 Lost the ball?
Once, Ferguson commented that Inzaghi said that he was a player born on the offside line.

It means to describe the Italian striker's outstanding ability to run without the ball.

In recent years, with the aging of Inzaghi, when all media reporters and fans evaluate the off-ball running of active players, Yang Yang is often the first thing that comes to mind.

Many people even believe that Yang Yang's ability to run without the ball is the magic weapon for him to keep scoring goals.

And Yang Yang also has a very deep understanding of this, because he knows that for an offensive player, running without the ball is very important, and it can even be said to be the key to the success or failure of a team's offense.

It's like the opening of the Champions League final.

When the ball was in the hands of Valdez and Yang Yang stepped back, he was facing the Barcelona goal, not only closely watching Valdez's movements with his eyes, but also observing every move around him with the God's vision of the super training ground.

He was the first to judge that Valdes would throw the ball to find Alves, so he rushed towards Alves immediately.

Yang Yang jumped very fast, and Alves retreated relatively deep at that time, so Yang Yang was very sure that Alves had only two options, either to kick forward with a big foot, which may lose the ball, or to pass back to goalkeeper Valdez.

To a certain extent, Yang Yang wanted him to pass back, so he deliberately kept a hand.

The Brazilian right-back really chose to pass back to the goalkeeper, because this is the philosophy of Barcelona football and never surrender the ball easily.

When he saw Alves pass back to the goalkeeper, Yang Yang just rushed to the corner of the penalty area, and immediately changed direction, went back to the penalty area, and approached Valdes, because it was impossible for Valdes to catch such a return pass with his hands.

And as long as you stop the ball with your feet, there will definitely be opportunities.

Ibrahimovic knew Yang Yang's thoughts very well, so he immediately put pressure on the two central defenders of Barcelona.

Facing the return pass, Valdez also had Yang Yang rushing towards him. He had almost no time to think. His first reaction was to pass the ball to the player closest to him, and at the same time, he should be regarded as the safest player, Pique.

As soon as Pique received the ball, Ibrahimovic entangled him, which gave the Barcelona central defender no extra time to think. In addition, the Swedish center forced him from behind, forcing him to pass in the direction in front of him, which is the right side.

So, Pique passed back to Alves on the right almost without thinking, but at this time Alves was still thinking about responding to Valdez, and his position was still relatively low.

……

When Yang Yang forced Valdes to pass the ball to Pique, he quickly ran back.

Because he wants to put himself in an onside position.

It has become his instinct as an offensive player.

No matter how good his position is, no matter how favorable the situation on the court is, as long as you are offside, everything is useless. Even if you score a goal, you will still be blown off.

Yang Yang retreated to a position further back than Alves to keep himself onside. At this moment, Marcelo intercepted the ball halfway, and quickly rushed back to the penalty area before Alves got close.

With his back to the attacking direction, Yang Yang was taken aback by the sudden pass. When he reacted, the ball had already come in front of him. As soon as it stopped, Alves and Pique had rushed towards him, pinching left and right.

Yang Yang didn't have time to think about it at all. He immediately judged that he had no chance to face the goal, so he chose to take a step outside the penalty area, quickly took the ball, and passed it back to Kaka outside.

The Brazilian midfielder stopped the ball, and Busquets appeared in front of him immediately.

Kaka made a gesture to kick directly, and after deceiving Busquets to block sideways, Kaka suddenly took the ball to the right and passed it into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic blocked Puyol with his body.

The Barcelona captain was blocked by the Swedish center and couldn't resist at all, but he was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He held Zlatan Ibrahimovic and stopped retreating.

The distance from the goal is a bit far, the chance of a header is not great, and Pique has already forced over. If Ibrahimovic wants to stop the ball with his head, there is basically no possibility of creating a threat.

But the Swedish center forward still suppressed Puyol firmly, not giving the opponent a chance to resist, facing the incoming ball, headed the ball, and directly sent the ball to the left of the penalty spot.

Yang Yang ran out of space here, and Pique ran to flank Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Alves behind him was approaching. He just got a chance, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic's header was higher.

In front of the fleeting opportunity, Yang Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the whole person ran to the position. After standing still with his left foot, he saw the ball coming, turned around, flew up with his right foot, and directly shot a sideways volley.

At that moment, Yang Yang could clearly feel the feeling of the instep of his right foot pumping the football in mid-air. It was very stable, just as he expected before, and the football also flew to the upper right corner of the goal at a very fast speed as he expected.

Valdés hastily tried to block the near corner, but missed the far corner, while Yang Yang turned around and volleyed to hit the far corner on purpose.

The ball crashed into Barcelona's goal almost unimpeded.

One to zero!

……

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Only 3 minutes into the game, Real Madrid took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal!"

"A wonderful turnaround volley from Yang Yang!"

"My God, this is Real Madrid's second shot in this game. Yang Yang hit a wonderful volley."

"This is a superstar! This is Yang Yang!"

"At critical moments, Yang Yang was able to seize the opportunities created by his teammates and hit them with one hit!"

……

In order to hit this volley, Yang Yang's whole body fell backwards. After he hit it, he almost fell to the ground, but after standing firmly for the first time, seeing the ball hit the net, he turned around and quickly rushed out of the court, running wildly all the way.

The entire Wembley Stadium burst into overwhelming cheers and exclamations.

The cheers came from Real Madrid fans, while the exclamations came from Barcelona fans.

No one thought that the goal in this game would come so fast and so suddenly.

The game had just begun, and even Barcelona hadn't even managed to organize a decent attack with a single shot, and Real Madrid scored directly.

Yang Yang quickly rushed to the bottom of the stands where the Real Madrid fans were, slid and knelt excitedly, and rushed to the camera on the sidelines.

On the big screen of the stadium, all the TVs around the world watching the live broadcast of the game, there was a scene of Yang Yang laughing and celebrating his goal, and then he was thrown to the ground one by one by the Real Madrid teammates who rushed out.

Even Casillas in front of the goal jumped up quickly, patted the crossbar of the goal, and kept shouting.

……

"It was a very, very unexpected goal."

"From the slow-motion playback, it is not difficult to see that Yang Yang's running position was very smart, and he did not put himself in an offside position. The last volley was also very beautiful, and at the same time it was very sudden. The Barcelona players did not even have time to react, and Valdes even watched the football hit the net."

"This is the fighting power of superstars at critical moments. They are able to seize some inconspicuous opportunities and turn them into goals."

"The game has just started, and Barcelona still has a chance, but falling behind at the beginning is obviously very unfavorable, and at the same time it is a very morale-destroying thing. I hope Guardiola and his team can adjust as soon as possible."

…………

…………

Guardiola stood on the sidelines in a daze, his ears filled with cheers from the stadium, and what he saw in his eyes were the stunned Barcelona players and the Real Madrid players who were running wildly. He couldn't react.

Is this a lost ball?
Barcelona didn't even have an opportunity to attack before they were scored by Real Madrid.

Guardiola knew very well in his heart that this was Real Madrid's attack after the opening game, which caught Barcelona by surprise.

Whether it's Yang Yang's pressing step by step, Ibrahimovic's suppression of the central defender, or Kaka's back-up, these are all offensive routines deliberately arranged by Real Madrid before the game, and they are all aimed at Barcelona's weaknesses and shortcomings.

But the most critical factor still lies in Yang Yang.

In the situation just now, the most likely thing to happen was offside, but instead of being offside, Yang Yang ran out of the opportunity.

This is the gap, and it is also a manifestation of Yang Yang's strength.

"Three defensive midfielders, the opening attack, this fat man's wishful thinking has started." Vilanova said angrily.

Benitez's tactics made Barcelona feel uncomfortable and disgusting, but there was nothing disgraceful about it. At best, he was conservative. Now, Yang Yang's goal undoubtedly boosted Real Madrid's confidence even further.

Can Barcelona break through Real Madrid's three-back defensive system?

In fact, Barcelona now has very few chips that can change the situation on the field, especially when Real Madrid retreats across the board.

This is why in the past two seasons, in the five games, Barcelona did not score a single point and ended in a five-game losing streak. In the final analysis, Barcelona could not find a way to break through Benitez's defensive formation.

Not only Barcelona, ​​but looking at European football, no team has really broken through Real Madrid's defense.

Guardiola is very unconvinced and even disagrees with Benitez's tactical style and Real Madrid's defense, because these are contrary to the football philosophy he has accepted since childhood, but now, he has to admit that he really can't come up with an effective way to break through the opponent's defense.

So, he can only wait.

Waiting for the flashes of inspiration from the Barcelona players on the field, and waiting for the Real Madrid players to make mistakes.

This made the Barcelona coach feel a sense of fatigue.

Especially Yang Yang's goal, it's terrible!
