In the 18th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Valencia away.

Although Pintus' plan is done well and Real Madrid's preparations are sufficient, in fact, it is impossible to be as smooth as the plan shows. For example, Ramos is injured, or which player is in a bad state...

Real Madrid had to rotate away against Valencia, because next was the King's Cup against Vigo Celta.

In the 16th minute of the first half, Yang Yang successfully intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and passed the ball. Di Maria knocked back with the opportunity. Yang Yang made a move to dribble the ball and cut inside, but suddenly made a straight pass. Suarez inserted and shot low, scoring for Real Madrid's first record.

But in the last stage of the first half, Valencia had the advantage on the field. Real Madrid players performed poorly under the pressure of the home team. In overtime in half, Di Maria dribbled into the right side of the penalty area and tripped, but the referee did not signal a foul. Valencia took advantage of the distracted Real Madrid players and quickly launched a counterattack, creating a foul in the penalty area by Xavi Martinez.

Parejo scored a penalty and tied the score.

Real Madrid were both dissatisfied with this penalty because Di Maria's fall should have received a penalty, but the referee did not give a penalty. If that time, there would be no penalty for Valencia's later penalty.

However, since the Spanish Football Association has been stepping up efforts to crack down on the siege of the referee, Real Madrid dare not be too arrogant.

In the 68th minute of the second half, a controversial penalty appeared again.

After Yang Yang dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he was tripped in the penalty area under the front and back attacks of two Valencia defensive players, Domenek and Abdennuer, but the referee still refused to award a penalty.

Valencia once again quickly counterattacked, and Isco chased back all the way, but he was so angry that he tackled Cancelo from behind and was sent off by the referee directly.

Everyone realized that the referee's home whistle was indeed a bit too obvious tonight, and Real Madrid's own condition was indeed not very good, and the team was not running smoothly.

With one person missing, Real Madrid's advantage has been significantly weakened a lot.

In the 82nd minute, Tony Kroos sent a free kick from the right, and Yang Yang headed the ball in front of the ball, further expanding the score for Real Madrid.

But just over a minute later, Real Madrid's defense made another mistake, and Paco headed the ball from a close distance to tie the score.

In the end, Real Madrid drew Valencia 2-2 away.

...

Real Madrid faced a draw, which undoubtedly frustrated the team inside.

If we look at strength, Real Madrid can completely defeat Valencia, but unfortunately, the team currently needs to strengthen physical training on the one hand and insist on multi-line combat on the other hand, which is really under a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, in this round, Barcelona actually drew with Espanyol 0-0 away in the same city derby.

When news came from Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid was very excited and swept away the previous haze.

"Even the goddess of luck is on our side, what else can I be afraid of?" Yang Yang's bold words were unanimously recognized by Real Madrid players.

Originally, they were all mentally prepared to make Barcelona narrow the gap, but they didn't expect that they could not defeat Espanyol, but were almost scored by Espanyol's Chinese player Wu Lei, which was really shocking.

I have given you a chance to catch up, but I still didn’t catch it. Who should I blame?

But Yang Yang and Zidane were not optimistic about the pie that fell from the sky.

The reason is very simple. Real Madrid's recent condition has indeed been greatly affected.

Although it is said that it is for strategic considerations throughout the season, it still needs to be taken seriously.

…………

Three days later, in the first leg of the King's Cup 16, Real Madrid challenged Vigo Celta away.

After ninety minutes of fierce battle, neither side could defeat the other side and scored a goal.

The final result is zero to zero, and the two teams shake hands and make peace in the first round.

The result was slightly beneficial to Real Madrid, but during the game, Real Madrid performed poorly, and even Yang Yang missed many good scoring opportunities. Everyone could see that Real Madrid was indeed not in shape.

The outside media is unclear, and many people are worried about Real Madrid's next schedule.

In fact, the same thing happened once last season. The head coach at that time was Ancelotti, who fell into a slump around the winter break and barely survived after struggling to hold on.

Real Madrid is experienced and well aware that as long as they survive this difficult period, what is waiting for Real Madrid will be a bright and prosperous road. Therefore, every player in the team is not discouraged, but they are all full of fighting spirit.

…………

On the weekend, in the 19th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced La Coruña at home.

Fifteen minutes into the game, Yang Yang grabbed the header in a corner kick melee, Ramos volleyed and hit the defensive player. Suarez followed up and scored a shot, one to zero.

Just eight minutes later, Carvajal made a cross from the bottom, and Suarez scored another header from the front of the small penalty area, winning another goal for Real Madrid, 2-0.

After the second half of the game, Zidane replaced Ramos with Varane, who had just recovered from injury, but was injured again.

Just four minutes into the beginning, Yang Yang dribbled the ball and made a low pass after sending a low pass. Suarez made a low shot in front of the goal under the double-team of two players, and scored a hat-trick, three to zero.

In the 60th minute, Tony Kroos took a corner kick, and there was a melee in the penalty area. Di Maria grabbed the landing point and headed the ball.

In stoppage time, Di Maria made a cross from the right, Yang Yang failed to stop the first stop, missed the best shot, and could only make a cross from the bottom. The young player Hesse, who came on the bench, shot low in front of the goal, scored his fifth goal.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated La Coruña 5-0 at home, and won the first time after the winter break.

But anyone who has watched the game can clearly realize that Real Madrid's players are not as good as before.

Whether it is the offensive cooperation in the frontcourt or the planning and operation in the midcourt, it is obviously not harmonious.

This is like a machine that was originally running lubricated. Suddenly there was a problem. It squeaked when running, and the running-in accuracy was not as good as before. Although it could still be used, it was not as comfortable as before.

Real Madrid is like this now.

After the big victory, Zidane said in an interview with the media that the team is indeed not in its best condition.

"I believe we will get out of the trough soon and get back to our best condition."

In this game, Yang Yang failed to score, but contributed two assists, and Zidane gave a high evaluation.

"In fact, he is not in shape, but Yang Yang is the kind of player who can still make outstanding contributions to the team even if he cannot score goals."

After the 19th round of the game, Real Madrid won the first half with an unbeaten record, especially in the absence of one round of games, which was eight points more than Barcelona, ​​which is already a very obvious advantage.

Therefore, many people believe that the La Liga champion this season will still belong to Real Madrid.
