Chapter 783 La Liga Debut
This year, UEFA's Champions League best in fact is not much suspense.
Yang Yang led Liverpool to win the quadruple crown, and the limelight swept the entire European football world. He is recognized by everyone as the best player. No one will believe that this award will go to others.
Unless, UEFA wants to blow its own name.
The best goalkeeper was given to Manchester United's Van der Sar, and the Dutch veteran broke the myth of Chelsea goalkeeper Cech to become the best in Europe.
In contrast, whether it is Liverpool's Reina or Barcelona's Baders, they are still a lot less stable in terms of stability and cannot compete with Van der Sar at all.
The best defender went to Chelsea's central defender John Terry, which is quite a surprising result, but again, Liverpool's defenders are still slightly inferior in terms of defensive stability, while Barcelona is mainly good at midfield. Passing the ball, there is really no defender like Terry.
However, the best midfielder is different. The competition is fierce. In the end, Barcelona's Xavi defeated Liverpool's Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, and teammate Iniesta to win the award and become the The best midfielder in the Champions League last season.
As for the last and least suspenseful two awards, the best striker and the best player in the finale were awarded to Yang Yang, who used to play for Liverpool but now plays for Real Madrid.
Yang Yang took the stage to accept the award one after another. When he gave his speech, he specially thanked the players of his old club Liverpool. He said that he would always remember his life and games in Liverpool, and he would also cherish the friendship with the Liverpool players.
Although Yang Yang never mentioned it to the outside world, Gerrard himself knew very well that although Yang Yang wanted to leave, he was forced away by the club's financial situation, so he was not dissatisfied with Yang Yang's transfer.
At the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monaco, he witnessed Yang Yang win two awards. Gerrard and Gérard were very happy for him, and after Yang Yang accepted the award and stepped down, he excitedly embraced Yang Yang who has been fighting side by side for three years. 's friends.
...
There is not much suspense different from the best award, but the draw for the Champions League group stage has made the representatives of the 32 teams nervous, especially the six non-La Liga seeded teams, no one wants to encounter Real Madrid. .
However, in the end it was AC Milan who was unlucky.
In the draw, the Rossoneri were unlucky to draw Real Madrid, the third draw was the Ligue 1 strong team Marseille, and the fourth draw was Zurich, Switzerland.
This also meets the expectations of the outside world, because before the draw, major media have speculated that Real Madrid will either draw AC Milan or Liverpool. The reason is very simple. It's also a great point of view.
And finally, Kaka is about to return to the San Siro Stadium to challenge his old club.
Real Madrid invested a lot of money this summer, and the overall strength has improved significantly. It is not difficult to advance to the group. Although AC Milan sold Kaka, their strength has weakened a lot, but the background is particularly strong, and the possibility of promotion is also not small.
The only suspense is Marseille. This Ligue 1 team is very strong. This summer, it also introduced powerful stars such as Bordeaux's Diawara and Porto's Gonzalez. Their strength has grown by leaps and bounds. Marseille itself is also preparing for the Champions League.
To say that Marseille wants to subvert the two giants, it is unlikely, but the Ligue 1 team definitely has the strength to disrupt the game.
More importantly, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Marseille have all won the Champions League. Former Real Madrid stars Morientes and Heinze are currently playing for Marseille, Huntelaar is playing for AC Milan, and former Barcelona superstars. Ronaldinho, as well as Brazil's talented rookie Pato, are currently in the Rossoneri.
Therefore, the group that Real Madrid is in is also full of highlights.
...
After the results of the lottery were released, Yang Yang said in an interview with the media that Real Madrid can draw such a lottery as a second-tier team. It is not bad, but it is not good either.
"Actually, we don't care who gets drawn because for us the result is the same, we try to get out of the group as hard as we can, no matter who our opponent is, we try to put in every game, and fight for victory.”
"AC Milan, Marseille and Zurich are strong teams, but I would say Real Madrid is also strong this year."
Yang Yang's remarks seemed to be confirmed by the outside world.
After the results of the lottery were released, the famous European bookmaker Biwin set out the odds of winning the Champions League top 32. Real Madrid ranked first with 4.25, followed by Barcelona with 5.0, and then down. Chelsea at 7.00 and Manchester United at 9.00.
Liverpool have been crippled this season, only 13.00, tied for sixth with Inter Milan.
Obviously, everyone is very optimistic about the superstar-studded Real Madrid.
But the key still depends on whether Benitez can quickly integrate the team and create a rigorous and stable whole in the shortest possible time.

…………
On the evening of August 29th, exactly 20:00.
In the 2009-10 season, the opening game of La Liga, Real Madrid played against Deportivo Deportivo.

As a world-famous Mr. 100 million euros, Yang Yang's existence has naturally become the most feared area for opponents. Right back Laure and fullback Luka, and even defensive midfielder Juan Rodriguez, the three form a triangle. Standing, almost firmly locked Yang Yang on the sidewalk.
Deportivo's strategy is also very clear, and Yang Yang must be restrained no matter what.
Just three minutes into the game, Luka got a yellow card for a foul when he retreated to defend Yang Yang.
However, this time Yang Yang's direct free kick was slightly wide and failed to pose a threat.
But in the next few minutes, under the active instigation of Yang Yang, Real Madrid won four consecutive corner kicks, but failed to form a threat. Until the ninth minute, Real Madrid created the first real threat since the opening. .
Yang Yang took the ball on the left to plan an offensive, Maxwell stepped in to participate in the offense, and after receiving a pass from Yang Yang, he made a diagonal pass to the penalty area.
Ibrahimovic moved to the right of the penalty spot knowingly and stopped the ball with his chest. Raul moved extremely cleverly and rushed over to kick the goal.
But the shot hit the left post and bounced off.
Subsequently, Real Madrid got another corner kick, and Raul's shot in the penalty area was blocked by Deportivo's defender.
After the continuous offensive after the opening, Real Madrid almost suppressed Deportivo in the half.
...
Yang Yang had some feelings on the court.
Deportivo Deportivo is not a weak team, even in European football, it used to be a strong team that can keep pace with AC Milan.
But it is such a strong team, when facing Real Madrid, they were suppressed and unable to move.
Not only that, Real Madrid also created a steady stream of opportunities.
This kind of situation is something Yang Yang has never experienced before in his career. From Ajax to Liverpool to now Real Madrid, Yang Yang feels that the strength of his teammates is getting stronger and stronger, and the overall competitiveness of the team is getting stronger and stronger. outstanding.
So good that he even had the illusion that as long as he ran out of space, the ball could come to his feet.
And in fact it is.
From the foot of Raul on the right, the ball was passed back to Abeloa, who made a diagonal pass into the penalty area. After Ibrahimovic blocked the opponent's central defender with his body, he stopped the ball and passed it back to the ball. Come up to receive the card.
As soon as the Brazilian stopped the ball, he looked to the left, and immediately made a straight pass, sending the ball to the left of the penalty spot.
At this time, Yang Yang was like a ghost. He didn't know when he suddenly appeared in this position. Deportivo Deportivo's entire left half of the goal was exposed in front of him. He stopped with his left foot, pushed with his right foot, and scored! ! ! !
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the 16th minute, Yang Yang, who represented Real Madrid in La Liga for the first time, scored his first La Liga goal and opened the scoring for Real Madrid, 1-0!"
"This is also the first goal in La Liga this season!"
In the cheers of the audience, more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans stood up and cheered for Yang Yang's goal.
The Real Madrid fans in the audience were shouting Yang Yang's name.
This was the first time Yang Yang let his name fly over the Bernabeu.
...
After conceding a goal, Deportivo Deportivo also showed rare blood, and began to organize a counterattack, and planned a wave of offensive in the first minute. The striker Ricky shot a long-range shot and was caught by Casilli. Yas threw himself in his arms.
After the Real Madrid goalkeeper got up from the ground, he looked up and looked forward, kicked the ball forward with a big foot.
Deportivo Deportivo's defense was too high, and Casillas' big foot drove directly behind the opponent's defense.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the opposing central defender rushed towards the ball at the same time.
The Swedish center is also eager to score in his debut to prove his strength as the world's top center.
But when he was about to catch up with the ball at the front of the penalty area, Deportivo's goalkeeper Alan Subia made a decisive attack, rushed out of the penalty area, and directly used his foot to clear the siege in the face of the falling ball.
In a hurry, in order to avoid Ibrahimovic who was rushing forward, Alan Subia chose to kick the ball to his right side, which is Real Madrid's left side, and wanted to find Laure.
The ball came to the middle circle, but before Laurel could catch the ball, Yang Yang had already taken a step ahead. He didn't even stop and faced the incoming ball directly, just like a big foot.
Only a bang was heard at the scene, and the ball flew out from under Yang Yang's feet and landed on the goal that had long been unguarded.
