Vol 4 Chapter 778: Goal shortage?

At 20pm on July 20th, Dublin Tarrant Stadium.
After a period of devil training in Dublin, Real Madrid ushered in the only warm-up match during the Irish training session, against the Dublin Clover Rangers.
But unlike what the outside world guessed, Benitez has all arranged for the bench this time.
The goalkeeper is Dudek, from left to right Marcelo, Metzelder, Pepe and Aveloa, the midfielders are Guti, Las Diarra, Gago and Sneijder, double The strikers are Higuain and Raul.
Except for Aveloya, all the new aid this summer is not in the lineup. Benitez's intention is also very obvious. He wants to select available players from this group of players.
De La Reed has basically decided to retire early because of his heart. Mohamed Diarra moved to the Premier League Manchester City that urgently needs to strengthen the midfielder. Now in Real Madrid midfielder, Xavi Alonso is the main iron player The voice of Scerrano as the main force is also very high, and Lasdiara and Gago need to prove themselves if they want to get a position.
The same is true on the front line. Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic are basically the main players. Robben is also very competitive in the right forward position. Higuain and Raul both need to perform better to convince Coaching staff.
It is worth mentioning that after selling Mohamed Diarra for 10 million euros, Real Madrid sold Drent to Juventus for a transfer fee of 10 million euros, because Marcelo and Maxwell had two left backs.
In addition, Benitez temporarily recruited two young teenagers to join the team this time, one is the left back Marcos Alonso, the other is Morata on the forward line, but currently only just follow the team Just training.
...
Playing with the full bench lineup is not only during the team's devil training, but also with the mentality of inspecting the players, plus the opponent's strength is not strong, Real Madrid players are very active, and they completely took the initiative after the opening.
However, the defense of the Shamrock Rangers is well organized. More importantly, although the Real Madrid players are active, they are obviously not in the state. The team can continue to create opportunities on the court, but it has failed to break the deadlock.
The first half ended zero to zero, and Benitez replaced eight players on the field in one breath, including Fermalen, Ibrahimovic, Xavi Alonso and other players are also in the middle Play at the break.
But the game still did not improve much, and even in the seventy-seventh minute, a midfielder made a mistake and almost broke the goal by the other side. Fortunately, Dudek performed well and saved two consecutive times after the attack. Very robust.
Until the 88th minute, Maxwell, who came off the bench for Marcelo, made a long diagonal pass on the left and sent the ball into the penalty area. After Ibrahimovic stopped the ball in the chest, he turned and volleyed. Hit, played a lore for the emperor immediately.
In the end, Real Madrid beat the Clover Rangers 1-0.
Yang Yang sits on the bench throughout the game, but he is also mentally prepared for this, because he Benitez told him before the game, including him, Kaka and Robben, three people in this game Have not played.
...
The first warm-up match was not ideal. Although it was a one-to-zero win, it was not a qualified score for the star-studded Real Madrid, and outside evaluations were also different.
However, in the end is just a warm-up game, everyone knows, Benitez just want to inspect the team.
The coaching staff is quite satisfied with the player's performance, Benitez recognized the player's attitude on the court.
In an interview with the media, Benitez said that he was very satisfied with the results of the training, and every player was very dedicated and dedicated.
Regarding why Yang Yang did not arrange to play, Benitez said that he is more out of the idea of ​​protecting players.
"We have just experienced a difficult devil training, Yang Yang is the team's most diligent player, and there are many warm-up matches next, I don't think he needs to play every game, he doesn't need to prove to anyone What, on the contrary, we should do our best to protect him. "
Benitez said that he knew Yang Yang and knew exactly how to use him.
However, Real Madrid coach also revealed that back to the Bernabeu Peace Cup, Yang Yang should usher in Real Madrid's first show.
…………
…………
On the evening of July 26, the first game of Group B of the Peace Cup at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Real Madrid play against Saudi Arabia's domestic league champion Etihad.
Benitez is still out of the four-two-two lineup, the goalkeeper is still Dudek, the back line is Maxwell, Fermalen, Metzelder and Aveloya, the midfield is still Guti, Gago , Las Diarra and Sneijder, but the front line was replaced by a combination of Ibrahimovic and Raul.
Like the first warm-up match before, from the beginning, Real Madrid has completely occupied the dominant advantage on the field, the strength gap between the two sides is very different, the Saudi Arabia team can not threaten Real Madrid's goal.
But the home team is indeed seriously absent, and missed opportunities.
Fans in the stands also watched very nervously, especially in the second half, and failed to open the situation, the fans began to shout Yang Yang's name, because it was Yang Yang's Real Madrid debut tonight.
It wasn't until the 60th minute that Benitez finally replaced Yango with Yang Yang.
The Argentine midfielder has two consecutive warm-up games, but the performance is average.
After Yang Yang played, Real Madrid ’s tactics began to change, with Ibrahimovic at the forefront, Yang Yang and Raul behind him, three midfielders Sneijder and Guti came forward, Lasdia After the delay, the two full-backs were also asked to increase their offensive efforts.
...
Although it was the first time, Yang Yang felt very excited.
He felt that he should belong to the stadium, as soon as he walked into the stadium, he was easily excited.
And he also wanted to know whether the cooperation between himself and several old friends could be as tacit as before.
In just one minute of playing, Yang Yang withdrew from the frontcourt to respond to Guti. After receiving the ball, he suddenly turned around and directly picked a pass to find Ibrahimovic at the front of the penalty area.
However, the Swedish center seemed to have a good heart, and ran directly to the position. He grabbed Yang Yang's pick pass before the guard, but then did not hit the door by himself, but passed it to Raul who was plugged in afterwards.
Real Madrid captain easily hit a hit, one to zero!
The distance between the two men is more than 20 meters, which has won the unanimous appreciation of the Bernabeu Stadium.
Yang Yang also laughed and applauded far from Ibrahimovic, and was also quite surprised.
Facts have proved that Ibrahimovic is no longer the rash wolf of the year, after undergoing Serie A training, especially the training of Italian coaches such as Capello and Mancini. After that, he not only improved a lot, but also changed a lot, especially his playing style.
Just like the ball just given to Raul, in fact he can play by himself, and no one will blame him, but he chose to pass.
Of course, many things still remain unchanged, for example, he still likes to use his feet so much.
A minute later, it was the cooperation of Yang Yang and Ibrahimović, and then the Swedish center made the ball. Sneijder caught up with a long shot and missed slightly.
One was accidental, but both sparked sparks, and Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic felt the mutual understanding.
Benitez made a second substitution in seventy minutes, replacing Raul with Robben, and then replacing Kago with Kaka.
The team became four, three, three, and Sneijder retreated to form a double midfielder with Las Diarra.
Fans on the scene were all excited, and they began to guess vaguely that this is probably the main attacking lineup of Real Madrid in the new season, consisting of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic, Kaka and Robben.
As soon as Robben came on the court, he kicked the goal after dribbling into the penalty area on the right, but missed slightly.
Then came from Kaka's Zhise, Robben shot was blocked in the penalty area.
Ibrahimović and Yang Yang also had the chance to shoot again and again, but neither broke.
Until the 80th minute, Robben crossed the ball on the right and crossed to the left of the top of the arc. After Yang Yang directly passed the ball without stopping the ball, Robben quickly inserted diagonally into the penalty area and closed the distance without defense. Push shot, two to zero!
This was a very wonderful personal cooperation. After Robben cut in from the right and turned into the back of the goal, Yang Yang rubbed his back and found Robben accurately. The cooperation between the two was also very subtle.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the weaker opponents.
In the end, Real Madrid beat Etihad 2-0.
Yang Yang played on the bench for half an hour, leading Real Madrid's offensive, planning two goals and dedicating an assist, but he played very relaxed and did not score.
After the game, he still received unanimous approval from the media and fans.

…………
Two days later, in the second game of Group B of the Peace Cup, Real Madrid played against Quito Sports of Ecuador.
Yang Yang still played in the second half. In just three minutes, he dunked the ball on the left and broke into the penalty area to create a penalty for Real Madrid and gave the penalty to Raul.
Real Madrid captain hit a calm penalty and scored in two consecutive warm-up matches.
Then, after Yang Yang cut in from the left, he suddenly kicked the goal and was saved by the other goalkeeper. Robben kept up with the miss and the Dutch winger scored in two consecutive warm-up matches.
After Ibrahimovic and Fairmaren scored goals, Real Madrid broke the opponent four to one, but Yang Yang still failed to score, which made the fans who came to the Bernabeu quite depressed.
On the contrary, Yang Yang himself was very relaxed, and said with a smile that he was not in a hurry.
"We have just gone through a difficult period of training, and I am now gradually recovering my status, and everyone also sees that although I did not score a goal, I am still contributing to the team and I am very satisfied with my performance. "
As for when he can score, Yang Yang said he doesn't care.
"Scoring goals is sooner or later, I am not in a hurry."
To his current status, he doesn't need to prove himself with goals anymore.
Having said that, there are still rumors outside. For example, Yang Yang is incompatible with superstars such as Ibrahimovic and Robben, leading to a sharp drop in his goals. .
Some people even worry, will Yang Yang again encounter a goal shortage?
