Golden Greenery

Within four minutes, Santa Cruz defeated Real Madrid.

In the 73rd minute, Isco made a pass from the right. Joaquin's close-range heel shot from the front was barely blocked by Adan. Santa Cruz, who followed up from the back, easily scored into the empty goal, 2:1.

In the 7th shot, Isco made a direct pass, and Santa Cruz shot a low shot from 12 yards from the left rib of the penalty area into the lower left corner of the net, 3:1.

In an instant, the world was turned upside down, Malaga fans fell into a huge sense of happiness, and Real Madrid were like eggplants beaten by frost.

Roque Santa Cruz is now a Manchester City player on a four-year contract. He only stayed there for one season before being loaned out.

Santa Cruz was loaned to three teams in three years, Blackburn Rovers and Real Betis, and this season was inserted into Malaga.

Nearly half of the 2012-13 season, Santa Cruz had scored four goals in La Liga before today. In this game, he became the first person to score twice against Real Madrid, and it only took 4 minutes.

Santa Cruz is not Valladolid's Manucho, he is not a firework, but a quietly waiting assassin. Santa Cruz is also a storyteller, and Zhuo Yang always gets unlucky every time he meets him telling stories.

The last time I heard him tell a story was in Pilanesberg National Park in Rustenburg, South Africa, and then the Chinese team lost to Paraguay in the first game.

In the last game of 2012, Santa Cruz told a story about a handsome boy who never grows old again at the Rose Garden Stadium, deliberately preventing Zhuo Yang from having a good Christmas.

In fact, today's game is a good opportunity for Real Madrid, because Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, the top two in the league standings, happen to play against each other at Camp Nou. The games in the 17th round were not played at the same time. Before Real Madrid and Malaga started, it ended exactly as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid tied 2:2.

In other words, if Real Madrid beats Malaga in this game, it will be a great opportunity to narrow the points gap with the top two at the same time.

However, the score is now 1:3.

Real Madrid has never trailed Barcelona by 10 points or more at half-way to win the championship. There is huge inertia in history, which will seriously affect everyone's psychology and cause strong psychological implications.

Therefore, if the score difference can be reduced to less than 10 points in this game, it will also be a huge psychological implication.

However, the score is now 1:3.

The two goals conceded were all due to Malaga's rapid counterattack that penetrated Real Madrid's empty right wing. The three defenders were unable to support each other, and Zhuo Yang could not make up for it at all.

Real Madrid launched a crazy counterattack, paying no attention to the head, but there were too many lice anyway. In eight minutes, Shui Ye, De Tu, Zhuo Yang, and Ronaldo received consecutive yellow cards, which shows how desperate the big guys are.

However, in the 88th minute of the game, the score was still 1:3.

In the final stage, Cristiano Ronaldo volunteered to become the center forward, as did Zhuo Yang. The two of them squeezed Benzema out of the game.

The 8th defender Camacho returned the pass to Demichelis, who was intercepted by Detu who was chasing back at high speed. The black carbon head passed to the magic flute.

The Magic Flute passed into the dark restricted area without any hesitation, and the footwork on the outside of the right foot was meticulous.

Zhuo Yang jumped high in the middle to header the goal. Due to the entanglement of his old Bundesliga rival Demichelis, the angle was too high and goalkeeper Caballero slapped it out with one palm.

Ronaldo's follow-up shot was blocked by the defender. In the end, Kaka made another follow-up shot from the far end and finally penetrated the goal.

2:3, this was also the final score. Real Madrid ended the 2012 game with a defeat.

At the end of the half-way period of La Liga, Real Madrid is firmly in third place with 17 points, trailing Barcelona and Atletico Madrid by 12 and 7 points respectively. Maybe Mourinho is right, the league title is no longer possible for Real Madrid.

Mourinho is the biggest loser in this game. With his popularity, even if he has given in to Barcelona, ​​the media will not bypass him. This is how they win sales.

The winners were naturally the handsome Paraguayan Santa Cruz, who scored two goals, and the golden boy Isco, who performed well in the second half. Kaka, who scored a goal and created an own goal, was also the only player in the Real Madrid team to be praised.

As for Zhuo Yang, Cristiano Ronaldo, De Tu, and Shui Peiguo Emo, they are all targets of criticism from the outside world. Each of them also has self-awareness, so after the game, they all looked as dejected as if they had just finished being thieves. He fled the Rose Garden without looking back.

The short vacation has begun.

The Real Madrid club requires everyone to gather together on January 2, 2013, and do the math on their fingers, which only takes one week. Zhuo Yang did not arrange a special vacation place this year. After returning to Madrid, he and Kou Kou took a flight back to China that day to spend the New Year with his parents in Xi'an.

He left, and most of the players dispersed for vacation, but he left the floods in Madrid behind.

The local media in Spain and Madrid made a summary criticism of Real Madrid, similar to a year-end review, and the head coach Mourinho, who they disliked, was the first target of criticism. Before Christmas, the media gave Mourinho another list.

When you hate someone, even his breathing is wrong.

Every word Mourinho said was criticized word for word by the media, and every tactical deployment and adjustment he made was put under the spotlight for analysis. Hindsight is always right, so Mourinho is always the wrong one.

Soon, the media trend changed from liquidation to countdown to Mourinho's dismissal during the New Year, and then there were many unconfirmed rumors.

Some newspapers said that Real Madrid executives are contacting Camacho, who is currently idle at home. He is a meritorious player of Real Madrid and has coached Real Madrid and the Spanish national team. He has sufficient qualifications and reputation, and is a very good emergency candidate.

Interestingly, Camacho himself, who lives in Madrid, did not explicitly deny this rumor.

Some media said that Lafayette had secretly met with Professor Wenger, and the professor was very interested in joining the Bernabeu.

Carlo Ancelotti, who is not very happy at Paris Saint-Germain, United States national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann, and former Real Madrid captain Hierro, all have media swearing by them.

Zhuoyang knows that Real Madrid's top management does have the intention to find a new coach, because Rijkaard has also been contacted. Jieshuai did not hide this from Zhuo Yang.

However, Jieshuai declined Real Madrid's temptation. First of all, he had a contract with the Chinese Football Association and was very happy here. Besides, Rijkaard still has a strong attachment to Barcelona, ​​and not everyone who leaves Barcelona is Zhuoyang.

Among these news that no one knows is reliable or unreliable, there is a very strange phenomenon. It stands to reason that Real Madrid's senior management should express their opinions at this time. It is etiquette and industry rules to publicly express support for the current head coach at a sensitive moment. Even if things turn out to be different the next day, it still remains. I have to say this first.

But there was no official sound from Real Madrid, as if they were all on vacation.

At this moment, Mourinho, who had been criticized by thousands of people, spoke with grief and anger at his home in Portugal. His words immediately caused an uproar and put Zhuo Yang at the forefront.
