Chapter 981 Really Beautiful!

Cruyff has been on the cusp of the past two years.

The godfather of Barcelona should be most influential when Laporta was in power, because he was Laporta's right-hand man in the campaign, and he has been running for Laporta, helping him to the top, making great contributions, and naturally getting rich rewards.

After Laporta was elected, he became the most special uncrowned king of Barcelona and became the honorary chairman of Barcelona in March [-]. Cruyff will also do his best to help Laporta run for re-election.

However, such good days did not last long.

In the summer of [-], as a member of Laporta's campaign team, Rosell ran for the chairmanship of Barcelona after "muting" and succeeded. The first thing he did after he took office was to deprive Cruyff of the crown on his head, that is, the appointment of honorary chairman of Barcelona, ​​which caused Cruyff a great shame.

Since then, Cruyff's position in Barcelona has become extremely embarrassing, and he immediately turned his guns and targeted Ajax, the old club of the Dutch base camp, and launched a velvet revolution, overthrowing the rule of Ajax's management and becoming the most powerful person in the five-member reform committee of Ajax.

But just when everyone thought it was a lost cause, the Ajax five-member committee appointed Van Gaal behind Cruyff's back. As a result, the Cruyff Court of Appeal incident broke out, which became a hot topic among media and fans all over the world. It also affected Cruyff's own image.

But Cruyff didn't take it seriously, and still bombarded Yang Yang in the following column, counterattacking his support for Van Gaal in Amsterdam, and publicly accused Yang Yang of having too many off-field affairs, which affected his focus on football, and even threatened that Yang Yang was inferior to Messi, saying that Messi would defeat Yang Yang in the derby of the century, a shame.

Perhaps because of this turmoil, when the TV station in Catalonia was broadcasting this game, they specially invited Cruyff to the live broadcast room to help the commentator analyze the game.

For the first half, the godfather of Barcelona believed that Guardiola's tactics were not too problematic. Real Madrid still had a considerable distance from Barcelona because they had not yet found their own football style.

"What is certain is that Real Madrid has been improving in recent seasons. Judging from their performance this season, they are indeed stronger than before. Their attack power is quite amazing, they scored more goals and gained more points, but none of these are decisive factors when facing Barcelona."

"Only by showing yourself fully and proposing your own style can you win!"

"Judging from the first half, only Barcelona did that."

But after the opening of the second half, Real Madrid directly played a wave of fast breaks. After Yang Yang took the ball from the left and cut inside, he created Pique's foul outside the penalty area and won a free kick in the frontcourt for Real Madrid. This made the commentators turn pale.

"This position is very dangerous. Yang Yang's free kick hit rate in recent years is very high. There are even rumors that it is close to 50.00%. This is almost comparable to the penalty kick rate. It is really terrible to give him a free kick opportunity in this position."

"If this goal is scored again, it is estimated that Barcelona's game will be even more difficult."

After hearing this, Cruyff looked at the live broadcast and said, "Yes, that's true. Yang Yang's free kick is very good, but it must be said that he may not be able to score this goal. If I remember correctly, there were two free kick opportunities before this game, but he didn't take the penalty. Obviously, his footwork didn't feel good tonight."

"Sometimes, that feeling is very important."

Following Cruyff's words, in the live broadcast, Yang Yang slowly retreated, stood still and looked directly at the goal in front of the pitch, while Barcelona quickly set up a human wall, Pique and Busquets both appeared in the human wall.

When the referee blew his whistle, Yang Yang ran forward quickly, kicked a curve ball with his right foot, circled the right side of the wall, and flew over Marcelo's head, but Valdez behind him firmly saved the ball.

From the TV camera, one could faintly hear the disappointing sighs from the stands of the Bernabéu stadium, as well as Yang Yang’s expression of shaking his head helplessly on the court. This time the cooperation was not good.

It can be seen from the slow-motion replay that Marcelo leaned over too early, which gave Valdez time to react. If the Brazilian left back slowed down a bit and did not bend down until the ball arrived, then Valdez would have no time to react.

"Look, let me just say, Yang Yang's footwork tonight is really not ideal. The speed of this kick is not fast enough. Valdez's judgment is very accurate, and the save is very stable, leaving no chance." Cruyff said with a smile.

The commentator was also happy about Yang Yang's free kick miss, because the lethality of this skill is really amazing.

A monster who can kick a free kick as a penalty, how terrifying is that?
Then Cruyff began to analyze Barcelona's free kick defense this time, thinking that the wall Barcelona put up this time is still very targeted, especially the cooperation with Valdes, which is very well done.

"Now as long as we block Real Madrid's attack, the game will enter our rhythm again."

But just as Cruyff finished speaking, he saw Valdes quickly kick the ball forward, but the ball was still snatched by Real Madrid, and it still fell at the feet of Real Madrid, and was quickly distributed to the left.

Marcelo quickly dribbled the ball forward, and Yang Yang pulled it near the left line. After receiving Marcelo's pass, he tried to break through Alves but failed, and then crossed to the middle. At this time, the Brazilian left back quickly dribbled the ball inside.

Busquets rushed over quickly, blocked Marcelo's line from the left rib into the penalty area, and tripped the Brazilian to the ground.

The referee Bobalan did not show another yellow card this time, but gave a free kick directly.

In less than 2 minutes, two consecutive free kicks.

"This time it should not be Yang Yang." Cruyff guessed.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yang quickly walked to the penalty spot, pulled Marcelo up, and stood there without moving. The other Real Madrid players also quickly dispersed. Obviously, no one wanted to compete with him for the right to the penalty.

Cruyff guessed wrong.

"Consecutive penalty kicks in a short period of time, the position is different, this time it is a little bit farther, and he still can't make the penalty."

……

Taking free kicks consecutively is indeed a bit stressful.

After Yang Yang placed the ball, he stepped back slowly and took a deep breath. His eyes were like lightning, looking directly at the wall in front of him and the goal behind the wall. The goalkeeper Valdez was leaning against the post, directing the position of the wall.

Marcelo is still standing on the right side of the human wall. It looks exactly like the ball just now, but the position is farther away.

Following Bobalan's whistle, Yang Yang took a deep breath, quickly ran forward, stepped on a familiar pace, and came to the penalty spot. After his left foot stabilized, he leaned his body and kicked out his right foot quickly.

There was only a bang, and the ball, like a bolt of lightning, did not go from the leaning Marcelo, but directly climbed over the wall, passed over the heads of the jumping Pique and others, and then fell rapidly, almost rubbing against the inside of the left post, and crashed into the goal.

And Yang Yang turned around and rushed out almost immediately after the free throw. He felt extremely strong that the ball was there.

Not only because he crossed the wall, but also because he felt that it would be a dead corner that was difficult to save.

And the facts proved that his feeling was right!
"Three to one!"

"What a fantastic direct free-kick!"

"Let's look at this free kick from a different angle. The quality of the free kick is very high, and the arc is also very beautiful. After crossing the wall, there is a very obvious drop, and the speed is very fast. Valdés thought Yang Yang would continue to walk over Marcelo's head as he did just now, so he stood in the middle, and the save was not enough."

"Yang Yangmei scored twice!"

"Real Madrid is currently leading [-]-[-] temporarily. This goal is indeed a very painful blow to Barcelona. The next step is to see if Guardiola will make a strong adjustment."

……

In the live broadcast room of the Catalan TV station, after seeing Yang Yang score the direct free kick, the commentator exclaimed and blurted out a sentence of appreciation, "It's really beautiful!"

But soon, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

Sitting near him, Cruyff's face became very ugly, and the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was quite awkward, because just now, the godfather of Barcelona swore that Yang Yang would not score free kicks, but now, Yang Yang directly slapped him in the face.

Maybe Yang Yang and Messi have wins and losses in other aspects, but in terms of free kicks, Yang Yang is undoubtedly a lot ahead of Messi. He is considered by many professionals to be an active player who has entered the ranks of hall-level free kick masters.

Cruyff was speechless, and the commentator could only quickly change the subject to avoid embarrassment.

"Now that Barcelona is two goals behind, Guardiola should still adopt more aggressive tactics. Maybe he should change to a three-man defense and increase his investment in the frontcourt attack. After all, we have performed quite well in the three-guard play several times this season. At this time, we should try to get back the score as soon as possible."

"Yes." Cruyff immediately took the words, "That's right, falling behind by two goals is not terrible. There should be more than 40 minutes left in the game. With Barcelona's attack power, it is entirely possible to tie or even reverse. We should maintain enough confidence and patience."

But Cruyff's words were still in my ears. In 3 minutes, Barcelona attacked the frontcourt and then intercepted the ball. Real Madrid quickly counterattacked.

The Swedish center pulled away the defensive player to the left, stopped Kaka's pass, tapped his heel, and crossed the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Yang Yang, who had never been involved in the team's offense, suddenly appeared at this time. After his left foot stabilized, he kicked a powerful volley with his right foot, almost in a straight line, straight to the lower right corner of the Barcelona goal, four to one!

hat trick!

Both Cruyff and the commentator were dumbfounded.
