Chapter 974 Doesn't belong to Guardiola's game
In the UEFA Champions League in the middle of the week, Yang Yang didn't play, and he didn't even make the squad for the game.

Everyone knows that against Dinamo Zagreb at home, Real Madrid has a very high probability of winning the opponent, and there is no need to use Yang Yang's nuclear weapon at all.

And the facts have proved that this is the case.

In the opening 2 minutes, David Silva assisted Ibrahimovic to score.

In the 7th minute, Ibrahimovic assisted Robben to score.

Then in the 9th minute, Morata received a cross from Arbeloa and scored, expanding the score to three to zero.

No. In 20 minutes, Ibrahimovic assisted Modric to score again.

After changing sides in the second half, Varane made a long pass from the backcourt, and Robben easily reversed offside.

Then Morata and Ibrahimovic played a quick match and went straight into the penalty area. After leaning on the defender with his body, Ibrahimovic rushed into the penalty area and succeeded in pushing, [-]-[-].

After winning by a big score, Real Madrid relaxed their offensive. Dinamo Zagreb counterattacked to preserve their dignity and then scored a goal. In the end, Real Madrid defeated Dinamo Zagreb [-]-[-] at home with Ibrahimovic's outstanding performance.

With five consecutive victories in the group, Real Madrid qualified first in the group without any suspense.

But it was Modric who surprised the team even more.

The Croatian midfielder was praised by the media as "White Xavi" after the game, which means that he is Real Madrid's midfielder Xavi.

Judging from this game, although he only scored one goal, after partnering with David Silva, he firmly helped Real Madrid lock the midfielder, allowing Real Madrid to play very smoothly in the first seven to 10 minutes, and organized waves of offensives.

According to the post-match media comments, Real Madrid not only possessed the ball, but also had a threatening offense. Even if the frontcourt players were better at seizing opportunities, they should have scored at least five or six goals in the first half.

"He is a keen and insightful player!" Marca praised after the game.

The Real Madrid locker room is also very positive about Modric's performance, especially after four months after joining the team, the Croatian midfielder is obviously getting better. Ancelotti has a special preference for midfielders such as David Silva, Modric, Herrera and Xavi Alonso.

If the existence of Harvey Martinez and Mascherano ensured Real Madrid's midfield defense, then in Ancelotti's mind, these four midfielders represent Real Madrid's midfield organization and creativity.

And Kaka is still working hard for the transformation, but there is really not much time left for him.

…………

…………

At twenty o'clock in the evening on November 26th, at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.

La Liga No.14 round, Madrid derby, Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid at home.

It is said to be a derby, but I can't see the passion of the crowd, because Atletico Madrid has not won the derby for 12 years, which is a very terrible number.

Before each derby, they vowed to break the fate of the past, but after each game, they failed to reverse the situation and always fell at the feet of the hated Real Madrid again.

Former chairman Old Hill once said that as long as you can win Real Madrid, it doesn't matter if you lose to the whole world!
This sentence has always been the motto of Atletico Madrid, and this season's Sheet Army has also spent a lot of money. It has introduced stars such as King Falcao, and there are also powerful players such as Diego, Savio and Felipe in the team. Among them, Felipe is Yang Yang's friend during his time at Ajax.

The head coach Manzano was obviously well prepared. He defended firmly at the beginning, blocked the first wave of Real Madrid's attack, and waited patiently for the opportunity. Finally, in the No. 15 minute, he hit directly behind Marcelo, and Savio launched a counterattack from the right.

This looks like a tempo of an upset game.

But Real Madrid is not a fuel-efficient lamp at home.

No. 204 minutes, after Yang Yang got the ball in the middle, he turned around and got rid of the defender, dribbled the ball forward, and went straight into the penalty area to find Zlatan Ibrahimovic. However, the Belgian goalkeeper Courtois, who has performed well after loaning from Chelsea to Atletico Madrid this season, was forced to abandon the goal and threw the Swedish center to the ground without being able to stop Ibrahimovic.

The referee gave a red card and a penalty kick. Zlatan Ibrahimovic originally wanted to give it to Yang Yang, but Yang Yang refused and finally made the penalty himself to equalize the score for Real Madrid.

In the second half, after changing sides and fighting again, Real Madrid launched an offensive. Yang Yang made a forced breakthrough from the left and made a cross. Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the middle deliberately missed it. Robben followed up and made a push and hit, which reversed the score for Real Madrid.

No.605 minutes, Marcelo got the ball from the backcourt and launched a counterattack with a long pass. Godin made a clearance error.

Then in No.80 two minutes, Yang Yang passed the ball with his heel and cooperated with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Godin fouled outside the penalty area and was sent off with a red card.

Four to one, in the end Real Madrid won Atletico Madrid at home with Yang Yang's two shots and one pass.

The 12-year derby unbeaten record has been continued again after this game.

……

While Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid [-]-[-] at home, the Barcelona team was also in Madrid, but at another stadium, Getafe's Alfonso Perez Stadium, waiting for kick-off.

In the middle of the week, Barcelona encountered a bitter away game. Facing AC Milan, which was behind twice and equalized twice, Barcelona finally scored a key goal with the assist of Xavi by Messi. They defeated AC Milan [-]-[-] in the away game.

After the game, Guardiola's three-four-three style of play was appreciated by all the media and fans, and many people even compared it with Cruyff's three-four-three dream team, because Guardiola is the core player of the dream team.

But maybe it was because of the midweek crash against AC Milan, excessive consumption of players, or other reasons, Guardiola returned to the back four in the away game against Getafe on the weekend.

The lineup is neat and the main force is out. Even the newly joined No. 607 winger Sanchez has returned from injury and formed a trident with Messi and Villa. However, this team that had just defeated AC Milan at the San Paolo Stadium had nothing to do with Getafe's defense at the Alfonso Perez Stadium.

In the final stage of the game, Messi also hit the goal after stopping the ball with his chest in the penalty area, but he pursued too much angle and hit the post, which failed to help Barcelona equalize the score.

In this way, Barcelona lost [-]-[-] away to Getafe and suffered their first defeat of the new season.

After this battle, the points gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid further widened to eight points.

……

There was dead silence in the visiting dressing room at the Alfonso Perez Stadium after the game.

Guardiola hasn't said a word since he walked into this dressing room, but just sat in his position blankly, with his head lowered, as if he was worried about something.

This is not a game that belongs to him!
This is not a team he wants!
If Athletic Bilbao's San Mamés stadium is a place where any team can drop points, then at the Alfonso Perez Stadium, failing to take even a single point from Getafe is absolutely problematic.

where is the problem?

Messi, Villa, Pedro, Sanchez, Fabregas, Iniesta...

Barcelona's midfield attack is definitely not weak, and some people have even estimated the price. This striker is worth at least [-] million euros, which is not inferior to Real Madrid, but the problem now is that the team is facing Getafe. It is difficult to even score a goal.

Villa's state has declined too quickly, and Sanchez has not yet integrated into the team, but these are not problems.

Outsiders don't know, but Guardiola himself knows very well that the biggest problem of Barcelona today is its dependence on Messi.

It's as if Benitez's Real Madrid relied too much on Yang Yang on the offensive end.

This season, Messi has shot 210 times. The Barcelona team has 30.00 shots and seven times. Messi alone accounts for more than 38%. The Argentine star has scored 40.00 goals so far. The team only scored [-] goals, [-]%.

In other words, Messi is gradually transforming into a scorer, while the previous Messi was not like this.

Let’s just say that last season, he took over everything in the frontcourt. Except for corner kicks, he participated in almost all of Barcelona’s offenses, so his goals and assists have created career highs.

But this season, Messi is occupying more shooting opportunities and reducing his investment in other areas. Then, in the current Barcelona team, no one can fill the part he has reduced. Instead, the shooting resources occupied by him have compressed the performance of other players such as Villa.

The final problem became what it is now. When Messi's state is not ideal, or when he is tired, Barcelona's offense has problems. What's more terrible is that Guardiola, as the head coach, has no way to say anything about this.

He knew that Messi wanted to compete with Yang Yang, Barcelona and Barcelona fans also wanted to see a more ambitious Messi, but the result was that the team had problems.

What the management means is that, like Real Madrid, build a team and create tactics around Messi, maximize resources and tilt toward Messi, and train him into a superstar like Yang Yang.

But this is not what Guardiola wants to see, because the biggest difference between Messi and Yang Yang is that he is too emotional, while Yang Yang is always so calm and stable, and sometimes even makes people doubt whether he is a robot.

Guardiola has no way to bet the fate of his team on a player who is easily influenced by emotions, whether it is Messi or Yang Yang!
