1112 Duel Buffon
On the evening of October 23, the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.
In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid faced Juventus at home.
Real Madrid was very active just as the game began.
Hazard, Yang Yang and Robben's tridents interspersed and ran in the frontcourt, with a wide range of movement. The three-midfield combination of David Silva, Modric and Mascherano also helped Real Madrid firmly control the midfield. On the defense line, Ancelotti used the Spanish central defender combination of Xavi Martinez and Ramos this time.
One very important reason is that Ancelotti wants to use Xavi Martinez to limit Lorent.
Both players are from Athletic Bilbao and have been teammates for many years and are familiar with each other. Moreover, Xavi Martinez is the highest player in Real Madrid except goalkeeper, so it is appropriate to use him to freeze Lorent.
Real Madrid played very smoothly at the opening, with Marcelo and Carvajal on both wings very active. In addition, the team controlled the midfield and ball rights as they wished, which forced Juventus to retreat after the opening.
In just four minutes, Real Madrid created an opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt.
Modric divided the ball to the right and handed it to Carvajal who was inserted into the attack.
At this time, Robben had already run to the middle. Carvajal stopped the ball and dunked the defender and immediately passed the ball to Robben.
Yang Yang just ran out of the penalty area and raised his right hand to ask for the ball. This action confused Juventus' two central defenders Chiellini and Barzali. Both of them pressed out at the same time, for fear that Yang Yang and Robben would cooperate.
But after Robben received Carvajal's pass, he cut in, dunked Pirlo, and sent a straight pass with his left foot.
The ball passed through the middle of Pirlo and Chiellini, while Yang Yang, who had originally retreated to the top of the penalty area, suddenly stopped and started to change direction. He inserted behind Chiellini and took the lead to catch up with the ball. He first stopped urgently, then suddenly accelerated, and shook past the goalkeeper Buffon who was attacking. With a very small angle, he shot with his right foot accurately and sent the ball into Juventus' goal.
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"
"Just four minutes into the game, Yang Yang used a small angle to score the first record for Real Madrid."
"My God, this game should be very good."
"Before this, Real Madrid won two consecutive games and played at home, and their morale was strong, while Juventus had two consecutive draws. The situation is very unfavorable. Facing Real Madrid, head coach Conte made it clear before the game that his goal is to at least get a draw at the Bernabeu, but from the current point of view, it is very difficult to achieve the goal."
"Robben's straight pass was very beautiful. It can be seen that under the competitive pressure of Di Maria this season, Robben has tried his best now, and Yang Yang's running is very smart. Barzali and Chiellini were deceived by him and followed him, resulting in a small gap behind him."
"It should be said that Yang Yang's shot was very difficult, reflecting Yang Yang's stability and delicate technical details, but the key is that his previous run without the ball confused Juventus' two central defenders."

…………
After Yang Yang scored a goal first, Juventus tried to launch a counterattack, but after re-teletting, Real Madrid quickly stabilized their position again.
In this game, Ancelotti won Isco and used the midfield core David Silva and Modric to partner with Hazard in front, which is a very obvious signal, that is, Real Madrid will continue to strengthen midfield control.
David Silva also showed his strength and characteristics. Compared with Isco, his ability to drive and break through is definitely not as good as that of Isco, but his sorting out the midfield, passing and organization are obviously much higher than Isco, especially in terms of passing speed.
It is precisely because of the collaboration between David Silva and Modric that Real Madrid has helped control the midfield and play more patiently and more organizedly, allowing Real Madrid to continue to control the advantage on the court.
Juventus once wanted to take the initiative, but was soon suppressed by Real Madrid, and the Zebras were forced to retreat again.
Even at the 31st minute, Real Madrid had a corner kick opportunity. Chiellini hugged Ramos in the penalty area, but because of his secret action, he was not discovered by the referee and escaped.
But it is not difficult to see from this move that Juventus players are indeed more impatient.
Copenhagen, who have tied and scored points in succession, and Juventus' situation in the group stage has become increasingly embarrassing. Apart from winning Real Madrid head-on, they really have no other means to grab points.
This is also a major feature of the Champions League group stage. Whether it is Real Madrid or Juventus, if you want to ensure your qualifying, you must grab three-pointers from teams like Copenhagen and Galatasaray and step on your opponent.
Juventus had draws in the first two rounds, which made the atmosphere within the Zebras team very anxious.
Before the first half was about to end, the referee warned Vidal with a yellow card that the Chilean midfielder fouled Modric without much need, and this was also the first yellow card in the game.
In the end, Real Madrid entered the halftime break with a one-to-zero lead. Ancelotti repeatedly reminded players to pay attention to the second half. Juventus will do his best to counterattack and be vigilant at all times.
At the beginning of the second half, the Zebras indeed launched a rush attack. Pogba took advantage of the opportunity to head the ball to help Lorent create a dangerous situation in front of the goal. At the critical moment, Casillas and Xavi Martinez teamed up to block the ball.
But Juventus is still looking for opportunities and keeps suppressing Real Madrid.
Six minutes later, Real Madrid backcourt Xavi Martinez gave a long pass and accurately delivered the ball to the frontcourt.
Yang Yang entered the highway, caught up with the ball in Juventus' 30-meter area, and continued to dribble forward. Chiellini chased him desperately, desperately trying to force Yang Yang to the right.
But Yang Yang had already known Chiellini's mind well. He had a chance to get a shot and stabbed the ball forward with one kick, trying to get a man to get rid of Chiellini's entanglement and break into the penalty area from the right rib.
But just when he was about to accelerate, Chiellini suddenly took advantage of his height and pressed Yang Yang's shoulder with his right elbow, forcing Yang Yang to be unable to accelerate the start, while he took advantage of the momentum to rush forward.
Not only that, he also swung back his right hand. I don’t know if he wanted to push Yang Yang away or deliberately hit him, but the back of his hand slapped Yang Yang’s nose hard.
Yang Yang was already starting to rush forward, but suddenly he was pressed by his opponent. Then a severe pain came from his face. After taking pain, he screamed and fell directly to the ground. He felt that the severe pain in his nose was unbearable, as if liquid was flowing out.
When he reached out, he found that his hands were covered in blood.
Damn it, it hit the nose!
Yang Yang was half lying on the ground, tilting his head and trying to raise his chin.
Beep!
The referee's crisp whistle sounded into Yang Yang's ears, but he only saw the dazzling night sky. Then he heard Juventus players constantly arguing about something, but the referee's attitude was very clear.
"Look at him, is this fake?" the referee asked beside Yang Yang.
Pogba, Pirlo and others came over to care about Yang Yang's situation. They had some interactions with Yang Yang, or had played many games. After learning that he was fine, they all quickly pushed them away.
Real Madrid's team doctor quickly rushed into the stadium and rushed to deal with Yang Yang's injuries to stop the bleeding for him.
...
"Oh my God, let's look at the slow-motion replay. Chiellini's move is indeed very dangerous. We can't tell whether he was intentional or accidentally, but one thing is certain is that he had already committed a foul before hitting Yang Yang."
"The referee looks very determined, Chiellini is the last defensive player, which is very deadly."
"Red card!"
"We saw the referee showing a red card to Chiellini, which means that Juventus' central defender will miss the next round, that is, the home game against Real Madrid, which is definitely a painful blow to Juventus."
"But let's look at Yang Yang, I don't know if his injury is important?"
"He shed a lot of blood. I believe all the fans in front of the TV must be as nervous as me. The weekend is the Century Derby. If Yang Yang is injured in this game, it will definitely be a huge loss for Real Madrid and will definitely make the fans who are looking forward to the world feel sad."
"Real Madrid's team doctor is still dealing with it. The live TV camera is given to the sidelines. We saw that Ancelotti and Zidane were also very anxious. Ancelotti seemed to be complaining constantly. If Yang Yang was injured, it would be a big blow to the weekend's century derby."
"The camera was also given to the stands. This is Yang Yang's wife Su Ye and his children. It seems that they are also very concerned about Yang Yang's injuries, as well as the fans of the Bernabeu, Florentino and Bardano in the stands."
"It can be said that if Yang Yang is lost, it will be extremely difficult for Real Madrid to visit the Camp Nou next."
"We saw that the team doctor packed up his things."
"Yang Yang stood up again. After dealing with it, is it okay?"
"There was warm applause from the Bernabeu Stadium, and it was obvious that Real Madrid fans were relieved."
"Yang Yang's nose is still a little red and swollen. I don't know if he can persist."
"We saw Yang Yang waved his hand to Ancelotti on the sidelines and signaled that he could continue. It seemed that he should hold on."
"This is a free kick opportunity on the right side of the penalty area, which is more suitable for the left-footed penalty in the future."
"But Yang Yang seems to want to take this free kick. Everyone should know that Yang Yang has also handed a few left-footed free kicks."
...
The blood has stopped for the time being, but the grudge has not yet subsided.
Yang Yang slowly stepped back and stared at Buffon, while Juventus' goalkeeper was also paying attention to him.
This is a one-on-one fight between the two!
Someone once said that Buffon is a perfect goalkeeper, and he has almost no flaws in all aspects. If he insists on finding it, it is that the success rate of the penalty kick is slightly inferior to other aspects.
And this time, Yang Yang wanted to give it a try. Is this legendary goalkeeper who has dominated the world football for more than ten years really that perfect?
