After Yang Yang led Real Madrid to a 2–1 victory over Barcelona and won the Copa del Rey with a brilliant solo run from deep, the team began shifting its full focus to preparing for the league and the Champions League, especially the Champions League.
The semifinal against Bayern Munich was Real Madrid's top priority—so much so that they were even willing to abandon the league.
An unbeaten record was an honor for any team, but it was only an honor. Compared with reaching the Champions League semifinals, that honor was not so important.
Of course, giving up was the worst possible outcome. Given Real Madrid's current squad depth and strength, they had a good chance of beating Valladolid in the Weekend League despite playing away.
However, something happened on the internet during the preparations.
The world sprint champion Bolt tagged Yang Yang on Twitter and posted two videos in succession, showing Yang Yang's long solo runs in the finals against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. The Jamaican sprinter heaped praise on Yang Yang's two goals.
He was the fastest sprinter in the world, but not long ago he had received an invitation from the Jamaica National Team's head coach and officially become an international player. He said he had been a fan since childhood and had also played football, so he deeply admired Yang Yang's two solo runs. He believed they represented Yang Yang's ability.
"What impressed me most was that both long solo runs ended in match-winning goals, and both were incredibly, incredibly outstanding. Yang Yang was able to break through the defenses of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona largely because he was fast enough. His explosiveness, changes of pace, and changes of direction were especially impressive. I learned a lot from him."
Clearly, the fastest sprinter on Earth wanted
