Real Madrid finally defeated Schalke 04 at his home court 3-1. In the second half, Robben intercepted the ball and counterattacked to the frontcourt, passing it to Suarez again, who made a low shot through two consecutive times.

Then Robben's front-court steal was intercepted and Morata made a push shot in front of the goal, securing the victory for Real Madrid.

The final score was three to one, and the total score was ten to one. Real Madrid defeated Schalke zero four with a big score and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

But after the game, major media reported that Hesse was seriously injured and the season was scrapped, which made all Real Madrid fans feel deeply regretful and worried about Hesse's injury.

This is a local youth training genius who was highly anticipated by countless Real Madrid fans. His ligament was torn. Can he still return to his state and performance before his injury after his comeback?

Most people are pessimistic about this because for young players, ligament tear is too serious.

When Yang Yang left the hospital, he specially accepted an interview with the media and took the initiative to answer several questions about Hesse, and his answers were forwarded by media around the world.

Yang Yang said that he was full of confidence in Hesse and he believed that Hesse could get out of the trouble of injury.

"Everyone in our locker room is waiting for his return, and he is still a part of us."

Yang Yang said that Hesse's injury is sad, but it will not stop Real Madrid from moving forward. "We will all take him and continue moving forward, and we will even work harder than before. We will work harder even with his part."

At the same time, Yang Yang also said that Hesse needs a peaceful environment for healing, and hopes that the media and fans will try not to disturb him.

Yang Yang also said that he planned to apply to the club, hoping to be a permanent sports psychologist in Valdebebas.

"I think psychological counseling for professional players is as important as physical training, especially those injured. They need more company, support and encouragement. It is not enough to rely on the team doctor alone. We need every player who leaves the locker room because of injury to know that he is still with us."

This is an idea that Yang Yang has always thought, so he took this opportunity to simply put it out.

It is a very fatal problem for seriously injured players to separate from their teammates for a long time. Moreover, they will be disconnected from the team, become lonely, and feel very depressed. Therefore, there is a person who knows psychological counseling to listen to and eliminate their depression and encourage them to get out of their injuries.

But in this regard, not only Real Madrid, but most clubs do very little, but Ajax, because they are mainly young players, they do better in this area.

So this time, Yang Yang planned to apply for Florentino, hoping to set up a permanent psychological expert.

In addition, the connection between the first team and the injured is also very necessary. For example, dinners or team activities, these should be invited to the injured players to avoid them being disconnected from the team.

Regarding these ideas, Yang Yang plans to discuss with the two captains Casillas and Ramos in the next step and come up with a feasible solution as soon as possible. He believes that this will make Real Madrid's locker room more humane.

Yes, human touch!

If Yang Yang was asked to evaluate his biggest change in his impression of Real Madrid in recent years, it must be the atmosphere in the locker room, because when he first came to Madrid, Real Madrid's training base seemed like a group of mercenaries.

When the time comes, we come to train and go home after the training. We rarely contact each other on weekdays, even if the team has dinner together, it is very formal.

But now it’s different. Yang Yang has always had the habit of giving gifts during festivals for many years. Over the years, he often invited everyone to dinner. Over time, everyone gets together more and communicates with each other more, and the atmosphere of the team’s training base is changing bit by bit.

It’s like Hesse’s injury this time. If it were in the past, the rest of the locker room would definitely be a bit regretful, but there wouldn’t be much reaction, because to them, Hesse may be a familiar stranger, or even a competitor.

But this time, after the game, not only did the chief and deputy captain come, but many teammates also came, and those who did not come called and sent text messages. Even his competitor Hazard came to the hospital in person to visit Hesse's condition, which is very rare.

It is not difficult to see from this that over the years, Real Madrid is gradually becoming more humane, and the locker room is gradually like a big family, and everyone gets along very comfortably here.

And Yang Yang himself didn't know that all this came from his influence.

From Ajax to Liverpool, Yang Yang is bringing all the experiences he has felt in his career to Real Madrid and changing the team because he is the leader of Real Madrid's locker room and the soul of Real Madrid on the court.

When Barcelona coach Martino couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he received news of Hesse's serious injury.

Although it is a bit out of place, as an opponent, on the eve of the battle, his opponent's important surprises were seriously injured and absent, which is definitely good news for Barcelona.

Hesse plays the left winger with his right foot, and Hazard is very skilled with both feet. These two left wingers are completely different types of players. How to defend is this? This is what Martino has always felt very headache because he can't guess who Ancelotti will use.

Yes, despite being a recruit, Hesse has shown strength to go alongside Hazard.

But now, as soon as he is injured, Real Madrid's choice is very obvious.

This made Martino feel much more comfortable because Real Madrid has been playing very smoothly this season, and has maintained an unbeaten record of 28 games so far, which is quite amazing.

"This will be a focus battle that determines the title of this season's championship!" Martino said to his assistant Jorge Paulao, with a little excitement in his tone, but at the same time he also expressed his importance to this game.

Yes, maybe Barcelona is unlikely to reverse the championship, but it is also a good thing if they can beat Real Madrid.

"You decided?" Jorge Paulao asked with concern as he looked at Martino's expression.

Martino nodded, "The huge pressure brought by Real Madrid is also our best help."

Over the past period of time, Martino has been trying to find a tactical style that allows Barcelona's frontcourt trident to be compatible and can exert strength at the same time, but this is very difficult.

Many people say that Martino is abandoning Barcelona's transmission and control system, but this is a very superficial understanding.

In fact, Martino never thought about it, there was no need, and there was no possibility of giving up Barcelona's pass and ball control system, because that was the gene that Barcelona had engraved into the depths of its soul. What Martino was really doing was to enrich Barcelona's tactical routines.

In the past, whether it was Guardiola or Biranova, they were passing and controlling the ball slowly. This certainly ensured the success rate of passing, but it was also delaying the fighter jet. Moreover, over the years, with the aging of core players such as Xavi and Iniesta, they could no longer provide the large-scale running coverage of the previous years.

Seeking change is the consensus of all Barcelona people.

What Martino did was to add long passes and direct passes based on passing and controlling the ball.

The advantage of doing this is that it can give full play to the strong advantages of Barcelona's midfield and make up for the problems caused by the decline in players' running.

The speed of the frontcourt star and the assault ability of individual combat are important weapons for Barcelona when counterattack.

But the problem lies here, that is, Messi is not used to such a play.

Martino has thought about change. He once thought about changing Messi back to the middle and let the team's two wing roads revolve around Messi, just like Real Madrid's frontcourt trident surrounding Yang Yang to attack.

But the problem is also very big, because Cristiano Ronaldo is the team's most goals this season, and his height and strength are the best in the team. There is no reason for such a player not to be at the forefront.

Martino was also not sure to convince the Portuguese, allowing him to willingly surround Messi.

What a proud person Cristiano Ronaldo is willing to act as a tactical pawn for Messi?

But in Martino's eyes, if Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar are separated from each other, their speed and impact will be stronger, Barcelona's counterattack will play faster and better, and Messi will have more room for movement in the middle lane.

This may make Barcelona's offense more perfect and harmonious.

In the past, Martino was not sure and had no reason to convince the Portuguese, but he had sufficient reasons to face Real Madrid.

Just like last time, Messi took the initiative to pass the ball for Cristiano Ronaldo.

He already has clear ideas and sufficient confidence in offense, but he is deeply troubled by defense.

Especially when it comes to the choice of central defenders.

Are you going to join veteran Puyol?

Or do you want to get on Mathieu?

Mathieu is as tall as Pique and has strong frontal defense ability, but he turns slowly. Facing the winger who cuts in from both wings and Yang Yang with excellent explosive power, both of them turn are very problematic.

But Puyor is not young and his height is not enough to suppress Yang Yang, which has been very obvious in many games in the past.

It can be said that no matter who does it, there are hidden dangers, but this is also normal, because any choice at the tactical level is a double-edged sword.

As Beckenbauer said, the strongest is often the weakest.

When a master fights, his own weaknesses are often behind his killer moves.

Martino saw this game between Barcelona and Real Madrid very clearly. It was not only a competition on the offensive end, but also a test on the defensive end. It may even be to some extent that defense will determine the outcome more than offense.

Because both sides have the world's top attackers and attack lineups.

"We still have to go to Puyor." Martino said with a frown. "Real Madrid's left side must be curbed. Whether it is Hazard or Marcelo, we must suppress them on this side, otherwise, this game will be very, very difficult."

Jorge Paultaso agrees very much, "Can Puyol defend Yang Yang?"

At its peak, Puyol Dudong could not catch Yang Yang, let alone Puyol, who is now old?

"There is a way!" Martino's eyes flashed.
