Chapter 916 Yang Yang's First Invitation
At 45:[-] p.m. on April [-]th, at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.
Real Madrid vs. Tottenham Hotspur in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Since the two sides have competed in the group stage and know each other well, and players including Yang Yang, Xavi Alonso, Mascherano and other players, as well as the head coach Benitez are very familiar with the Premier League, so the two sides did not have the slightest courtesy and went directly to the topic from the beginning.
Within a minute of the opening, Yang Yang used a long shot that threatened Tottenham Hotspur's goal and almost scored.
Then it was Yang Yang's long-range shot, which was blocked by goalkeeper Gomez and failed to pose a threat.
But in the 4th minute, Kaka picked a pass from the center, Ibrahimovic knocked back, and Robben hit a low shot from his right rib and left foot, opening the scoring for Real Madrid.
After taking the lead, Real Madrid did not relax their offensive. On the contrary, they further increased their attack on Tottenham Hotspur.
In the 8th minute, Crouch tackled Ramos near the center line and was warned by the referee with a red card. But only 7 minutes later, Yang Yang, his former teammate, shoveled Marcelo again in the frontcourt. He was shown another yellow card by the German referee Brich and sent off with a red card.
The England center forward encountered Benitez and Yang Yang again. Obviously, he still hoped to show a good performance in front of the former head coach and teammates. However, he might be too eager, and instead became not calm enough, and was sent off by a red card.
But even so, Real Madrid will not show mercy to Tottenham Hotspur.
No.20 Two minutes later, Real Madrid launched an attack from the left. Marcelo crossed the penalty area obliquely. Yang Yang inserted a small angle on the left side of the penalty area and hit the goal. The ball passed under Gomez, rubbed against the left post, and entered Tottenham Hotspur's goal, [-]-[-].
No. 40 minutes, Real Madrid won a free kick in the frontcourt. It was 30 meters away from the goal, but the position was in the middle. Yang Yang grabbed the serve without hesitation.
A brace!
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Real Madrid is still on the offensive.
Tottenham Hotspur itself is not as strong as Real Madrid, and now they have been sent off again, and the situation is even worse.
In the 409th minute of the second half, Kaka sent a wonderful pass to Yang Yang. Yang Yang volleyed with his right foot from the front of the penalty area and hit the right post.
In 8 minutes, after Yang Yang dribbled the ball from the left, he was forced to the left side of the ball by the opponent. He was forced to kick the defender Joel Luka and earned a corner kick. Then Yang Yang quickly sent a tactical corner kick and kicked the ball to Marcelo.
The Brazilian left-back made a cross and accurately found Ibrahimovic in the penalty area. The Swedish center scored with a header, four to zero.
No.70 Two minutes later, another pass from Kaka, Robben dribbled the ball in from the right and volleyed successfully, [-]-[-].
And until No. 808 minutes, Kakala went to the left, and after cooperating with Marcelo, he crossed to the front of the penalty area. Yang Yang followed up and made a push and hit, [-]-[-]!
hat trick!
Yang Yang was so excited that he got carried away, and quickly rushed out of the stadium, rushed to the bottom of the stand where his wife Su Ye was, and celebrated with a pacifier, which was cheered and applauded by all the Real Madrid fans.
This is his fifth Champions League goal of the season!
The [-]-[-] victory at home also basically determined that Real Madrid has steadily advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
…………
…………
When the German referee Brich blew the whistle for the end of the game, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Luka Modric, wearing the NO.14 jersey, wiped his face vigorously, unable to hide the lonely look on his face.
Finally, I still failed to cross the mountain of Real Madrid!
Tottenham Hotspur's performance this season has been amazing. They qualified as No.2 in the group, but ended up beating AC Milan in the top [-]. After a big upset, they advanced. Everyone was surprised by Tottenham's performance.
But after overthrowing the Rossoneri, the ambitions in the Tottenham team have obviously expanded.
Both Crouch and Van der Vaart want to prove themselves in front of Real Madrid. They are all inextricably linked with Real Madrid or Real Madrid's generals. As the core of the team, Modric also wants to prove himself.
Although, many people feel that he no longer needs to prove it.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Juventus...
There are many teams chasing him, and three of the Premier League giants extended an olive branch to him as early as the winter break. But at that time, he wanted to play for Tottenham in the Champions League knockout round and declined all invitations.
In the two rounds that overturned AC Milan, Modric proved his strength and value with his performance. He let everyone see that he is already one of the best organizational midfielders in European football.
But deep down in his heart, he still wants to do more and be better.
Even, there is a faint voice deep in his heart telling him that if he can overthrow Real Madrid, it will be considered a real upset.
I believe it's not just him, but Tottenham Hotspur, including head coach Redknapp, think so.
But tonight, at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid completely shattered the hopes of Modric and his teammates with a disparity in strength, and at the same time shattered his remaining illusions about Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham is just Tottenham after all!
For a long time in the future, it is impossible to expect him to compete with the giants, especially the top giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona. This is unrealistic.
Modric has never concealed that he is an ambitious player. Since he was a child, he has been eager to do better and beat everyone. This supports him to stand out in the youth academy and become a domestic leader in Croatia. Through the European Cup, he stepped on the stage of the four major leagues and became the core soul of Tottenham Hotspur.
But now, it is clear to him that he has reached his limit at Tottenham.
If he wants to go further, he must leave Tottenham Hotspur, leave this cage that restricts his performance, and go to a broader stage, such as Manchester United or Chelsea.
Just as Modric lowered his head and was about to walk off the court, he was suddenly stopped by a figure halfway.
……
"You performed well tonight." Yang Yang stretched out his right hand with a smile.
Modric was somewhat agitated when he saw him.
No.1 in world football is standing in front of him now, reaching out to him.
"Thank you." Modric quickly held Yang Yang's hand, "You performed better, you scored a hat-trick, and your team played even better. Even without the red card, we couldn't stop it."
While speaking, Modric couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.
In this game, Real Madrid bombarded 36 shots indiscriminately, while Tottenham Hotspur only had a pitiful four-footed shot, and one shot was on target. This is definitely an extremely wide gap.
More importantly, as a midfield playmaker, Modric is very clear that Real Madrid's pass success rate is too high.
There may be a reason for the numerical advantage, but Tottenham Hotspur really struggled to get the ball from Real Madrid's mistakes.
"We took a game off on the weekend, and we are in pretty good shape, but to be honest, your passing and dribbling times in this game are very characteristic, and the loss has nothing to do with you." Yang Yang comforted.
Modric knew that these words were to comfort him.
In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
When the team suffers a disastrous defeat, no player can survive.
"I think that being in Tottenham Hotspur limits your performance." Yang Yang said with a sudden smile.
Modric frowned, a little stunned, then raised his head abruptly, and looked at Yang Yang in disbelief. He made some outliers from these words, could it be that...
Seeing Modric's expression, Yang Yang knew that the smart Croatian midfielder had guessed what he meant. He smiled and patted Modric's arm, "We really need an excellent midfielder like you to join us to improve our midfield strength."
"Think about it."
After finishing speaking, Yang Yang bid farewell, turned around and left.
Modric stared blankly at Yang Yang's back as he turned and left, but his heart was already filled with monstrous waves.
Is Yang Yang inviting him on behalf of Real Madrid?
Could it be that Real Madrid have taken a fancy to themselves?
How many professional players dream of being able to compete with Yang Yang, the No.1 football player in the world?
Modric was a little taken aback.
From Yang Yang came to talk to him, to when he turned and left, the process happened in a very short time, it seemed that Yang Yang came to comfort him politely, said a few words, and got to know each other.
But tonight, these few words conveyed by Yang Yang made Modric feel unprecedentedly shocked.
Join Real Madrid?
Teammate with Yang Yang?
This is something he never dared to think about before.
In the Tottenham Hotspur team, there is only one player who has experience in Real Madrid, that is the Dutch golden boy van der Vaart, but his trip to Real Madrid ended in failure, but this does not prevent him from becoming the top star of Tottenham Hotspur.
In recent years, apart from Barcelona players, who doesn't want to join Real Madrid?
……
Yang Yang didn't know what Modric's reaction was when he heard the words, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. He just sent some goodwill signals on behalf of the Real Madrid management.
This is what Valdano mentioned to Yang Yang before the game. He hoped that Yang Yang could talk to Modric, because the Croatian midfielder mentioned in an interview during the Champions League group stage that he admired Yang Yang very much.
"You have to know that in many cases, if you come forward and say a few words, it will be more effective than our bad words."
It was the first time for Yang Yang to do this kind of thing. He talked to Canales before, and the latter came to him on his own initiative. But Modric is different. He is a well-known midfielder in Europe.
Of course, Yang Yang also knew in his heart that he was just offering a goodwill invitation on behalf of the dressing room. As for whether Modric is willing to join, it still depends on his own wishes and whether Real Madrid can offer conditions that satisfy both him and Tottenham Hotspur.
But in any case, he is quite proud to be entrusted by Real Madrid to do this.
