No one ever thought that Malaga would be a match for Real Madrid, but in fact, this team was still very annoying and surprised. What really surprised people was that it came from the flying Dutchman.

Although he is old and in poor health, Fanny still has the mark of his peak moments left on his body. Even as his career continues to accumulate, his sense of smell in the penalty area is constantly improving, which helps him seize an opportunity in the cracks of people in the face of the powerful encirclement of Real Madrid players and set the first record for Malaga...

This is Van Ni's first home game since joining Malaga, and he scored his first goal!

All the fans at the Rose Garden Stadium are cheering for Van Nie. He is a good person. At least he used this goal to prove his strength and prove that he is definitely not old enough to leave the football world in shame. He can still leave the football field with dignity and pride!

However, the gap in Malaga's overall strength allowed Real Madrid to seize two opportunities in a row, reversing Malaga, and finally reversed the home team 2:1 away and advanced to the quarterfinals of the King's Cup 8 knockout stage.

After the teams finished the second leg of the round of 16 knockout round, the Spanish Football Association also drew lots for the round of 8 knockout rounds. As a result, Real Madrid drew Levante, Barcelona met Valencia, Athletic Bilbao met Mallorca, Espanyol met Milandes in the Spanish Second Division, and the first leg will be played in the middle of next week.

La Liga Cup of Kings has always had a bit of survival in the cracks over the years. The Spanish Super League two are undoubtedly the most appealing teams, but once February comes, they will pay attention to European competitions. So in order to stagger the time period, the Spanish Football Association has stuffed all the schedules of the Cup of Kings in January and early February.

In this way, the King's Cup can indeed play a time difference and win more attention. However, the devil's schedule will be entered as soon as the winter break ends, which is undoubtedly a big test for all participating teams.

Yang Cheng's team rushed directly from Malaga to Mallorca and challenged Mallorca away.

The two-week matches after the winter break, coupled with the physical adjustment after the winter break training, Real Madrid's condition has weakened recently, but still relied on its own strong strength to win Mallorca 2:1 away.

Back in Madrid, at the Bernabeu Stadium, although Yang Cheng's team continued to form the starting lineup with Castia and first-team players, they still defeated Levante 4-0 on their own territory and entered the semi-finals with one foot.

However, at the Camp Nou Stadium, due to the short-straight lineup, Barcelona, ​​which gradually lost 1:2 to Valencia at home, also made Barcelona fans feel depressed, but there was no more complaints, because they all knew that with the current situation of the team being filled with a large number of young players and lacking enough funds to introduce powerful stars, they could not ask Biranova's team to continue to be invincible as before.

With Barcelona's main lineup, this team is not weak, but it lacks the thickness of the bench. Once a player at a certain position suffers from injury, he often directly plays on the second team teenagers, but no one knows what effect this group of second team teenagers can achieve. It can help the team win in good times, and it will become the team's weakness when it is bad.

This is how the game against Valencia is. The young central defender Fontas faced the experienced Soldado and was directly played by the former Real Madrid youth training striker. The two goals of the Bats Legion came from Soldado's feet.

In the middle of the week, La Liga held a supplementary match in the first round of the league, which is the 19th league game of the season. Real Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao 4-1 at home and continued to make great strides.

In order to make way for this round of rematch, the 20th round of La Liga was postponed to early May, but as the European Cup approached, UEFA requires major leagues to end the competition as soon as possible and shorten the schedule. Because the strike at the beginning of the season has made the entire La Liga schedule a little messed up, and this impact will become more and more obvious in the second half of the season.

He challenged Levante away, and Sarabia, who was the starter, performed well. In this game, he showed excellent technical and personal abilities on the right. In cooperation with Canales and Parejo, he scored an impressive record of two passes and one shot, assisting Villa and Munia to score goals, helping Real Madrid defeat Levante 3-0 away and reach the semi-finals.

Barcelona was tied by Valencia 2:2 away, and Soldado scored twice again. The performance of the former Real Madrid striker has won the favor of countless professionals, believing that he is a rising star on the Spanish forward, and that he sent Barcelona out of the Copa del Rey.

But Valencia's opponent in the semi-finals is Real Madrid.

In the 21st round of La Liga, Real Madrid took over the Bernabeu Stadium and welcomed Zaragoza.

The successive battles made Real Madrid look a little tired, and in the 12th minute of the Bernabeu Stadium, Zaragoza scored first, took the lead, and successfully defended the score until the end of the first half.

To stop Real Madrid's attack, Zaragoza completed a thing that countless teams dreamed of in the first half, successfully and effectively curbed Real Madrid's attack. Through their active defense and fierce pressing, it really brought great difficulties to Real Madrid's attack. Then their counterattack caused Real Madrid to lose the ball!

"It seems that the invincible Real Madrid has begun to lose their hearts. At least from this game, their performance is not very ideal, especially this group of superstars. Under Zaragoza's fierce pressing and solid defense, they do not seem to show their true strength!"

"It depends on how Yang Cheng reverses the team's disadvantage in the second half!"

…………

…………

Yang Cheng rarely continues to use his iconic motivational methods now. This does not mean that he does not like to play motivational, but that he is more infecting his confidence in his players in a more stable way.

A head coach who always blushs his face and thick neck gives people a feeling of lack of confidence, but if everyone can re-see the hope of winning the game through reasonable analysis and guidance, isn’t that another kind of motivation?

"I carefully analyzed Zaragoza's defense in the first half. What they did was more successful was that they targeted our midfield and backcourt. They placed all four midfielders in our midfield, especially against David Silva and Parejo, as well as the defense of Xavi Alonso behind them."

The players listened silently, especially David Silva and Parejo, who felt the deepest. Because the opponent put a lot of pressure on them, they almost just chased them and stopped them from passing forward.

"Their midfield is mainly based on defensive siege, and the timing of snatch is relatively successful. They are all carried out from defense to offense, which forces us to pass the ball smoothly. We need to make adjustments in the second half. Everyone should avoid this area and pass the ball directly behind them!"

Yang Cheng drew the area behind the four players in the midfield on the tactical board. Although the three lines of Zaragoza are kept very compact, what Real Madrid is best at is to chisel a gap in the dense iron walls.

"Zaragoza has done a bad job, or there are two areas that have not performed the effect, Kaka and Ronaldo. Especially Ronaldo, Zaragoza's defense on the left is a problem, and I believe they are very clear about it. So have you noticed that once our ball reaches the left side, they always grab at least three or four players, and even overlap in positions!"

"In the second half, we went around their midfield defense center of gravity and gave the ball directly to the left, but Cristiano, you have to hold the ball for me and pass it out when they snatch it up. Do you understand?"

After getting Ronaldo's nod and agreed, Yang Cheng looked at the starting forwards Villa and Kaka again, "Be careful in the middle. They placed their defense at the front of the penalty area and played offside from time to time. We had fallen into the offside trap several times in the first half. You must pay attention to the good position. But we must closely cooperate with Ronaldo's activities on the left!"

"Juan!" Yang Cheng looked at the starting right winger Mata of the game, "cut inside, connect the team's midfield and frontcourt!"

After saying all this, Yang Cheng's tactical adjustments were actually very obvious.

"Our main attack point in the second half is on our left side. They like to press, so we let them press, attract them to press, hold the ball, create the situation that is most favorable to us, pass the ball out of the opponent's encirclement, and then we win, do you understand?"

The players nodded together, "I understand!"

…………

…………

At the beginning of the second half, Zaragoza obviously realized his own problems, strengthened his defense on the right and restricted the performance of Ronaldo on the left. Yang Cheng immediately let Aguero lean towards the left.

The situation is now very clear. Real Madrid wants to attack the left side, and the victory or defeat is in the offensive and defensive duel on the left side!

When the game reached the 63rd minute, Ronaldo retreated from the left to get the ball and pulled out the opponent's right back. Aguero appeared in the left side of the front of the penalty area at the right time. It seemed that he wanted to respond to Ronaldo, but at the same time he also retreated outside the offside trap.

After Ronaldo got the ball, three players immediately rushed over. The Portuguese relied on his own strength to lead the middle, attracting a midfielder from the middle to form an encirclement. Kaka, who had originally replaced Aguero at the front, suddenly ran out of the penalty area.

Kaka pulled out and immediately let Zaragoza's two central defenders come out. Ronaldo suddenly accelerated and made a diagonal pass, finding Kaka's feet at the front of the penalty area. The Brazilian saw the ball's coming and hit the left side.

Aguero, who had always followed Zaragoza's defensive player surrounded Ronaldo, was not valued much, and then inserted it. He went straight into the penalty area and got the ball. After pushing and shooting, the ball was straight into the goal behind him from the side of the goalkeeper, 1:1!

After equalizing the score, Yang Cheng was still waving his arms around the sidelines and issued the latest instructions to the players.

Soon, three minutes later, Real Madrid got another very good opportunity. Aguero and Kaka pulled the attention of the opponent's defensive player and knocked back to David Silva. The latter kept rubbing a curved ball and sent the ball into the penalty area. Ronaldo used his speed to get rid of the defensive player and inserted it into the penalty area. He stabbed the ball before the attacking goalkeeper, and the ball went straight to the bottom of the net!

At this moment, Yang Cheng became more and more sure that Zaragoza's right-side defense was very problematic. Although there were many defensive players, it did not mean it was useful. Because they often ran and overlapped, this did not form enough advantages at some point.

As a result, David Silva stepped forward to get the ball on the left and attracted the opponent's right back to leave his position again, and then cooperated with Kaka. After seizing the loophole caused by the overlap between the opponent's right back and central defender, Kaka passed the ball directly to the left. Aguero broke through and made a cross. Robs scored a header in front of him, 3:1!

Real Madrid was very happy to complete a major reversal, because even in poor condition, they were able to use technical and tactical responses to restrain their opponents, which undoubtedly became an effective weapon for Real Madrid to continue to make rapid progress.

After the game, the players praised the analysis of head coach Yang Cheng in the locker room, believing that his on-the-spot command was the key to the team's victory in the game against Zaragoza.

"We all have an illusion that Zaragoza seems to be following the boss's plan, and they seem to be playing football according to our ideas. This is undoubtedly relatively easy for us. We just need to play according to the tactics formulated by the head coach during the intermission and we can win!" Casillas obviously admired Yang Cheng very much.

After completing this game, Real Madrid won 20 consecutive victories in La Liga. This has undoubtedly broken all records in La Liga history.

"The current Real Madrid is on a legendary road, and it can be said that they are not trotting, but are performing the final sprint. Their destination may not be the championship trophy, but the honor of the best team in history. This can be seen from Real Madrid's almost invincible state and outstanding strength this season!"

"If you continue to follow the rhythm and pace of super human and super football like Real Madrid, they will break a series of records and achievements created by countless ancestors in football history, and all of this will collapse under the feet of Real Madrid this season!"

After the game, Alfredo expressed his affirmation for the Real Madrid team this season.

In fact, in Alfredo's opinion, the strongest and best Real Madrid should be in 09

In the 10 season, Real Madrid, who won the triple-champion championship, was very strong at that time. Perhaps the gap with its opponents was not as obvious as it is now. But it is definitely the strongest and most outstanding team, and it is also the most eye-catching team.

The strength of Real Madrid has been greatly improved, but it has not made much progress in creativity. Whether in the overall team's tactics or the individual players' strength, it does not make people's eyes shine. It is actually not much different from the awesome and amazing Real Madrid back then.

"If you really want to say it, Real Madrid during the Triple Crown era was an epoch-making great team. Today, Real Madrid is based on the great Real Madrid, and its strength has been improved, and its overall concept has also gone further. However, it does not make people feel that it is very groundbreaking. It is more like Yang Cheng's improvement of the Triple Crown Real Madrid that year."

"Of course, we have to admit that Real Madrid is still playing the best football in the world, but we are all spoiled by Real Madrid, which makes us always put more and more demanding demands on Real Madrid."

"Yang Cheng has always given people the impression of being a founding monarch who has expanded his territory, but in the last two years of Real Madrid, he has also fully realized that he is definitely an excellent conservative. At least in the past two years, we have seen Yang Cheng use his method to ensure that the team's core framework does not decline."

"I remember Yang Cheng himself said that the peak period of any team can only last for five years at most. Now the Real Madrid has been maintained for three years and will enter a full adjustment period next. If Yang Cheng really decides to leave Real Madrid this season, then Raul will undoubtedly continue to follow the reform direction opened up by Yang Cheng and continue to move forward."

"But we don't need to worry too much about Real Madrid's situation after losing Yang Cheng. He is indeed the soul of Real Madrid and the absolute core of this Real Madrid team. Real Madrid will lose its strongest combat power without him. But we should also see that he left a team of superstars for Real Madrid that is almost incredibly strong, which will undoubtedly bring huge coaching chips to Raul."

"Besides, according to the news received by reporters from Real Madrid, Yang Cheng is likely to continue to stay in Real Madrid after the end of this season, but he is not the team's head coach, but the club management. I believe that he will continue to play for Real Madrid as usual, but his position is different."

Alfredo knows Yang Cheng very well, as well as his Real Madrid, and the editor-in-chief of Ass newspaper has formed a deep friendship with Yang Cheng over the years. At the same time, he is also a hardcore fan of Yang Cheng, so he is very clear that with Real Madrid's current lineup and a strong youth training system, it will be no problem to continue to be on the European Union for ten years.

The key reason is that, is whether Raul, who succeeded Yang Cheng, can continue to lead the team to explore and improve like Yang Cheng, constantly improve and improve the overall structure of the team, avoid being restrained and restricted by the opponent after being familiar with the team's skills and tactics, and keep changing forever. This is the secret of the ever-present captain's prosperity, and it is possible to build an ever-winning legion!

But just three days after reversing Zaragoza, the team played a 1-1 draw with the Bats in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal at the Mestalia Stadium in Valencia, and Soldado also scored the goal for Valencia!
Chapter completed!
