820 Optimus Prime
Real Madrid's star shines in France!
The new captain of the Galaxy Battleship fills the team's six-year black hole in a battle!
Yang Yang flashed at the critical moment, and scored an away goal to save Real Madrid!
The rise of adversity, Yang Yang helps Real Madrid break out of the cocoon and become a dragon!
……
After Real Madrid's 1-1 draw away to Lyon, the media throughout Spain and even the whole of Europe was in an uproar.
All the media have given Real Madrid's away games quite highly, although many people believe that Real Madrid did not play their best in this game, but in the face of an opponent like Lyon, Real Madrid can withstand the pressure and draw 1-1 away from home, which is quite rare.
The French team newspaper said that Yang Yang's goal at a critical moment made Real Madrid see that the quarterfinals were beckoning.
"Without Yang Yang's goal, Real Madrid would have returned to Madrid with a crushing 0-1 defeat, which would be a desirable result for Lyon, with Claude Pierre's side going to the Bernabeu with a more aggressive advantage in the second leg."
"But at the critical moment, Yang Yang's goal completely changed the situation."
'A draw, an away goal, allowed Real Madrid to reverse Lyon, dominate the two-legged tie and lose the unfavourable situation to Claude Pierre, who had to score on the road.
France are not optimistic about Lyon's away trip as they have not lost so far this season at the Bernabeu, with Rafael Benitez's side in full swing at the Bernabeu and Real Madrid's much-criticised defence in the second half of the season improving dramatically after the winter break.
"Since January, Real Madrid have only conceded three goals, all three of which have come from set-pieces, two corners and one penalty, so it can be said that Real Madrid's defense has changed dramatically compared to the first half."
"The strongest attacking line-up led by Yang Yang, coupled with a solid defence, made it very difficult for Lyon to score at the Bernabeu, and Claude Pierre also said after the game that the team needs to work harder to have a chance."
When Real Madrid was at the lowest point of adversity, Ibrahimovic and Robben obviously lacked some commitment and courage, Raul no longer had the peak state of the year, only Yang Yang stepped forward at the critical moment, showing the strength and responsibility of his team leader.
"In the stands at the Stadio Gerland, Florentino was smiling after the game, and it looked like he should be happy with his transfer this summer, even proud, especially Yang Yang, who proved his worth in the team with a golden goal and, more importantly, he has always been the most important player for Real Madrid."
……
The Spanish Marca newspaper also spoke highly of Yang Yang's goal, believing that when the team could not see hope most of the time, at the last moment, Yang Yang's step forward allowed Real Madrid to see the dawn of promotion.
"It's been six years! It's been six years! ”
"Real Madrid used to be the proudest club on the planet, but in the past six years, Real Madrid has become the laughing stock of fans all over the world, and the embarrassment of stopping in the knockout round of 16 for many years has caused Real Madrid to suffer unprecedented humiliation."
Florentino promised when he was president of Real Madrid last summer that he would do his best to help the team break through the past, and he quickly fulfilled his promise by spending a lot of money on a number of superstars including Yang Yang, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kaka.
"But the outside world's doubts about Real Madrid have not stopped, many people still believe that burning money will not burn the championship, the former noble and wealthy Real Madrid, now has become a nouveau riche who only knows how to burn money, and even many people jokingly call Real Madrid the Royal Circus, these various titles have put Real Madrid under heavy pressure."
Marca newspaper believes that if the team leaves the Stadio Gerland with a score of 0-1, then Real Madrid will be under great pressure, and the public opinion and noise created by Real Madrid's fans and the media around the world will completely swallow Real Madrid.
"At that time, in the second leg, the most formidable opponent Real Madrid will face will not be Lyon on the pitch, but the heavy pressure they are carrying and the expectations of the more than 80,000 fans in attendance."
Marca reported that he was glad for Real Madrid, because at the critical moment, a goal by Yang Yang saved Real Madrid, and at the same time stopped the team's decline in the past six years, pulling the team in the sinking and letting everyone see hope.
'Returning to the Bernabeu with a 1-1 scoreline, Real Madrid have a more relaxed environment and have every chance of beating Lyon at home to reach the quarter-finals and wash away the humiliation they have had over the past six years.
Marca also said that this game reflected Yang Yang's value to this Real Madrid team, "He is like an optimus prime, and he can hold the team's trust at critical moments." ”
……
The newspaper interviewed Zidane, who followed Florentino to the Gerland Stadium to watch the game, for the first time after the game.
The former Real Madrid legend, the current special adviser to the president, was very pleased with the result of this match.
'I firmly believe that back at the Santiago Bernabeu we will progress to the quarter-finals and even I think we have what it takes to reach the Champions League final.
Zinedine Zidane looked particularly confident, and the team's performance at the Stadium in Gerrand gave him confidence and confidence.
Especially Yang Yang.
Zidane pointed out that Yang Yang has been burdened with heavy pressure and burden since joining the team, and even every game will be abused by opposing fans and violated by players, but these have not stopped him from moving forward.
"On the pitch, he gave his best, gave everything to the club, and played his own value and role, and as for the rest, it's up to the fans to judge."
Zinedine Zidane said it was incomprehensible for a team like Real Madrid to stop in the round of 16 for six years in a row.
"I was in this team for the first three years, and I had a group of outstanding teammates around me, and we were outstanding, not even weaker than our opponents, maybe we had some kind of bad luck in the draw, or maybe we had some kind of weakness and inadequacy......"
'All the problems that can cause the team to lose in one year or two years and stop in the round of 16 for six years in a row, not only because of the technical and tactical aspects of the team, but more importantly because of the psychological problems of the team.
Zinedine Zidane believes he can understand the disappointment of Real Madrid fans over the past six years, but he firmly believes that this year's Real Madrid team is different from the past and can be trusted, so he called on Real Madrid fans to come to the Santiago Bernabeu to support the second leg.
"The more we get to this point, the more the team needs the support of the fans!"
Zidane also said that Yang Yang's start at Real Madrid was quite successful, and he compared it with the sluggishness when he joined the team, and he believed that Yang Yang's excellence was reflected in many aspects, and he even didn't need to adapt to time at all, and he could directly integrate into the team.
"For a superstar of Yang Yang's level, fans and the media will inevitably have higher requirements, but so far, I think Yang Yang has basically met everyone's expectations of him, even the most critical people, can not make higher demands on him, he has done almost everything that a superstar player can do."
Finally, Zinedine Zidane has more expectations for Real Madrid this season, and that is for the team to maintain their lead over Barcelona in the league, and he believes that the second derby of the century against Barcelona will be crucial.
"This battle at the Bernabeu will ultimately decide who wins La Liga this season, and although there is still a lot of uncertainty, it can be said."
Zinedine Zidane also said the team has what it takes to reach the Champions League final.
'This year's Champions League final is very different from previous years because it was held at the Bernabeu and I'm sure all Real Madrid people, from the management to the coaches to the players to the fans, would like to see Real Madrid reach the final and all of us are working towards that.
"The game against Lyon showed us the tenacity of Real Madrid in the face of adversity, and also showed us the determination of the team to reach the Champions League final, and I believe that as long as we make it to the quarter-finals, we will be invincible!"
In a commentary, the newspaper said that Zidane was too optimistic about Real Madrid's prospects, the game was not easy to say, and Real Madrid's current squad was not strong enough to sweep other teams.
At the very least, Real Madrid don't have much advantage against Barcelona.
Moreover, with Kaka's injury, the midfield is slightly lacking, but more importantly, on the two flanks of the front, there are no suitable wide substitutes except for Yang Yang and Robben, which will severely limit Real Madrid's performance.
But no matter what, as the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, the newspaper also firmly supports Real Madrid and continues to move forward.
……
Kaka, who underwent surgery in December and is still recovering, spoke to the Brazilian media after the game.
Kaka said he is training hard to get back on the road as soon as possible.
"The meniscus surgery on my left knee was very successful, the recovery was very good, and the groin injury is being actively managed, but I can't wait to get back on the court, I want to be able to play alongside Yang and the rest of my team, I'm fed up with sitting at home and watching them play."
Kaka also said that he took the initiative to practice for an hour in the morning and evening every day, the purpose was to maintain his physical condition, and Real Madrid in order to help him recover as soon as possible, and specially ordered a batch of expensive rehabilitation equipment from the United States, which made him very grateful to the team.
"And Yang Yang, my best friend, he encourages me every day, he always tells me that he will work the court to put the part that belongs to me and score the ball that belongs to me together."
'I can't describe how grateful I am to him, I can only keep working hard to get back on the pitch as soon as possible and play alongside him.'
