One hundred seconds after the game started, Azpilicueta threw a throw-in on the left, Yang Yang stopped the ball and turned, volleyed at a small angle, kicked a world wave, broke the opponent's goal and opened the record for Real Madrid.
Yang Yang, who has just won the sixth FIFA Golden Globe in Zurich, showed a surprising state in the Bernabeu.
In the twenty-fourth minute, Modric sent a direct pass, Yang Yang successfully counter-offside, single-handed push shot, scored again.
Then, in the second half, he changed sides and fought back. Real Madrid launched a counterattack after breaking the ball. Hazard forced the ball and sent the pass. Yang Yang burst into the left side of the penalty area and made a small angle volley hit, three to zero!

Four to zero!
Real Madrid, with the help of Yang Yang's hat tricks and assists, defeated Vigo Celta 4-0 at home and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
As Real Madrid advanced to the quarterfinals of the King's Cup, the originally scheduled league match had to be postponed again.
The draw result of the quarter-finals knockout was soon released, Real Madrid reached Valencia.
This is another difficult opponent.

On the evening of January 12, King Navarre Stadium.
In the 19th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Osasuna away.
The game was played in heavy rain, and the stadium was muddy.
Due to continuous battles, he went to Zurich to receive the award. Yang Yang was protected from the game and sat on the bench. The young Morata replaced him and appeared on the front line.
However, without Yang Yang, Real Madrid ’s frontcourt attack suddenly became weak and lacked threats. Morata failed to get out of position under the close marking of the opponent. There were few threats to shoot, which made the sidelines safe. Lottie was helpless.
Everyone knows the importance of Yang Yang to Real Madrid, but like tonight, after losing Yang Yang, the offensive power will plummet, and not all coaches are willing to see it, but Ancelotti has no good plan.
At the 65th minute, Ancelotti had no choice but to replace Morata with Yang Yang.
Immediately after Yang Yang came on the court, Real Madrid's attack on the front court came alive, and all the players on the field seemed to have found the backbone. The whole team began to unify their thoughts and develop and organize the offensive around Yang Yang.
In the 78th minute, Di Maria crossed on the left and Yang Yang center hit a follow-up push shot and scored the only goal for Real Madrid.
It was this goal that made Real Madrid beat Osasuna one-on-one.
...
With 30 straight wins on all fronts and 16 straight wins in La Liga, Real Madrid is only one step away from Mancini ’s Inter Milan ’s five major league records. As long as they beat Valencia in the next round, Real Madrid will tie the history. Record.
But it is not an easy task to defeat Valencia, because Real Madrid will have three consecutive battles with the Bat Corps, including two Kings Cup quarterfinals and one La Liga twentieth round.
While Real Madrid beat Osasuna by one goal, Barcelona beat Malaga 3-1 on the road, Messi, Fabregas and Tiago scored successively.

…………
On the evening of January 15, the Bernabeu Stadium.
Real Madrid faced Valencia in the first round of the quarterfinals of the King's Cup quarter-finals.
In recent consecutive battles, Real Madrid, who has been under pressure to win streak, has to rotate, which led to a comprehensive decline in the organization and efficiency of the midfield. This scene is a disadvantage to Valencia and Real Madrid.
Bat Legion is not a fuel-efficient lamp, even in the Bernabeu Stadium, it is still comparable to Real Madrid.
But Real Madrid's defensive counterattack is obviously sharper and more efficient than Valencia.
In the 37th minute, Carvajal sent a diagonal pass in the counterattack, Yang Yang headed back to the midfield, Herrera followed with a long pass, and Yang Yang quickly inserted into the back row to form a single shot and easily pushed Break the door, one to zero.
After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, Yang Yang made an active counter-attack at the front of the small penalty area, which caused Valencia defender Guardado's mistakes and formed an own goal.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Valencia 2-0 at home. The game was dull, but there were no surprises.
...
Not in good condition with Real Madrid, but still relying on defensive counterattacks to win Valencia 2-0.
Barcelona also played against Malaga at home, and also performed poorly, but they were evenly tied by their opponents at Camp Nou.
In the first half of the first half, the two sides scored three goals, first Malaga broke, then Messi and Puyol reversed, but in the last half of the second half, Camacho finalized the goal to help Malaga take away from away draw.
This put Barcelona in crisis, and Vilanova's team apparently lacked success and started to fall behind.
…………
…………
Three days later, in the 20th round of La Liga, Barcelona challenged the Royal Society away.
In the first half, Messi and Pedro scored goals and scored a 2-0 lead. Castro received Carlos Bella's assist to win a goal for the Royal Society, and then in the 60th In two minutes, he received an assist from Ilya Ramendi and equalized the score.
In the final stage of the game, in the second minute of stoppage time, Real Society took advantage of a corner kick to kill Barcelona.
Three to two, the home team is in front and the visiting team is in the back.
Barcelona suffered their first defeat in recent months, and as long as Real Madrid won Valencia in this game, Real Madrid will catch up with Barcelona in the standings and reverse the summit.
But be aware that Real Madrid still have one less game than Barcelona.
...
When the news came, Real Madrid was preparing to depart tomorrow at the hotel, heading to Valencia to challenge the Bat Legion away.
When receiving the news of Barcelona's loss, everyone couldn't help but cheer, even coach Ancelotti and Zidane were overjoyed, apparently excited about Barcelona's loss at this time.
"As I said earlier, the Royal Society is very tenacious, and Barcelona will definitely lose."
"Haha, we played three times in the Royal Society. We were equalized three times before winning. But Barcelona were two goals ahead and were finally killed. This team is not tenacious."
"I heard that Illya Mendi is a good boy. Over time, it will become a great weapon."
"Now Barcelona should have a headache. The initiative has changed hands. Now that we only have Valencia, that is a three-point advantage."
Teammates, you said one word to me, and said happily, as if the team had led Barcelona by three points.
But be aware that the three points still hang on the Spaniards. As the Catalan team, although the Spaniards and Barcelona are rivals in the same city, they will certainly do their best to attack Real Madrid.
Therefore, Yang Yang still reminded his teammates vigilantly, "I still can't carelessly, let alone a three-pointer against Valencia, even the Spaniard's three-pointer may not be a sure win, even at our home court.
As soon as Yang Yang spoke, everyone followed him cautiously.
Do n’t look at Real Madrid and Barcelona being hailed as the Western Super League duo, but in fact, on the court, every team encounters these two giants and they all die. If they are a little slack, they will immediately become a Fiasco ended.
How fierce is La Liga?
Atletico Madrid, currently ranked third in La Liga, was the UEFA Champions League last season, and this season is also in full swing; Malaga, currently ranked fifth in La Liga, slashed Chelsea and a Milan to qualify as the group first , Advanced to the Champions League 16 and Valencia, ranked seventh, also advanced to the Champions League.
It can be said that these teams in La Liga are also competitive in the European football.
So why does the La Liga pattern look so disparate?
The reason is very simple, Real Madrid and Barcelona are too strong!
It is precisely because Real Madrid and Barcelona are too strong, which gives everyone the illusion that La Liga is too weak.
As everyone knows, the La Liga teams are very competitive in Europe.
Therefore, Real Madrid and Barcelona are strong, but once there is a slight difference, they will lose immediately.
Reversing Barcelona's Royal Society at home, almost killed Real Madrid not long ago, and this team is currently ranked ninth in La Liga.
Both Ancelotti and Zidane strongly agree with Yang Yang's analysis.
"Barça's loss is indeed a very good opportunity for us. If we can maintain our current winning streak, we will certainly be able to widen the gap, but at the same time it is also a test for us." Exhorted.
In recent times, not only has Barcelona not been in good condition, Real Madrid has not been better.
Especially considering the pressure caused by the winning streak.
Sometimes, the more winning games, the greater the psychological pressure and burden on the players. Ancelotti and Zidane also have a clear understanding of this, so recently they have been trying to create a relaxed atmosphere .
Everyone knows that the winning streak will stop sooner or later, but no one wants to be in front of this scene.
"In the battle of Bernabéu, Valencia was clearly fighting. If I guessed right, this weekend ’s league, the Bat Team should stay properly, because for them, they currently want to rush into the league. Fourth, the pressure is still very high, so they hope to play well. "
The cup is a knockout game, and it is about the current platoon formation and status. The league is a long-term competition. It is possible to occasionally give up one or two games. For a team like Valencia, the goal of the league is the Champions League or European war zone, but the current pressure is too great.
Needless to say, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid's three strong teams, this season's Real Betis, Malaga and Real Society are also very competitive, such as Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao The traditional strong teams of the league have even been squeezed into the second half of the league, showing how fierce the La Liga competition is this season.
In this case, playing the cup first is undoubtedly an option.
Valencia is not as good as Real Madrid. They have no ability and financial resources to maintain two lineups for two-line combat, so they can only specialize in the first line, which makes them die in Real Madrid.
I believe the second round of the game next week will be more difficult.
