Every Christmas, Real Madrid ’s management team invites players, coaches and staff from the football and basketball teams to gather for a Christmas banquet and adjust the time according to the schedule.
Since Real Madrid is going to Morocco this year to participate in the World Club Cup, Real Madrid's Christmas dinner was arranged at noon the next day in the Champions League group stage, and the place was also selected in the honor room of the Bernabeu Stadium.
The original trophies were put away, the windows were moved away, and a banquet was set up in the huge honor room.
When many people mention Real Madrid, they often only think of football, but in fact, the strength of Real Madrid's basketball team is also quite good, but in the world, football is obviously far more than basketball.
Every Christmas dinner, Real Madrid invites famous Spanish chefs to sit in town, and Spanish and European celebrity chefs are also proud of accepting Real Madrid's invitation. The Juan House Barbecue House is the chef that Real Madrid must invite for every banquet.
In addition to the players, coaching staff and staff, there are members from the management and the board of directors, all of whom are gathered together, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet is also very warm.
Real Madrid ’s performance this season is obvious to all. At present, La Liga is counterattacking and leading the standings with two points. Barcelona ranks second, Atletico Madrid falls third, and Seville and Valencia are entering. After November, they frequently lose points and have already lost their stamina.
This is also a serious problem for the midstream and downstream teams, that is, lack of stamina.
To put it simply, the thickness of the bench is insufficient, and the lineup is too thin.
La Liga led the way, and the Champions League group stage was an amazing record of six victories. It ranked first in the group. Both transcripts are good enough to make Real Madrid proud of the crowd, the management is also very satisfied, and the players are also in harmony.
Therefore, the atmosphere at the scene was also quite warm.
Real Madrid President Florentino personally hosted this warm and warm Christmas lunch, and delivered a speech confirming the achievements of all Real Madrid players, while also encouraging players to continue to inspire.
The management believes that Real Madrid can still gain something this season, not to mention La Liga, and the Champions League is also very competitive. I hope all players can focus on the game and strive for further success.
Florentino even said in a semi-joking way that if the team can defend the Triple Crown, then the club will not hesitate to appreciate, giving everyone an unprecedented heavy reward.
The personal promise from the chairman has undoubtedly greatly improved the morale and fighting spirit of the players in Real Madrid. Many people have stood up and applauded. The brave words of solidarity with the chairman, especially the captain Ramos, threatened to lead the team to win all. Champion.
Yang Yang did not participate in it, and he did not pay special attention to rewards, but he still valued honors very much, because if he can really defend the Triple Crown, it will also be the strongest achievement in his career.
Since ancient times, the Triple Crown of the five major leagues has been rare, and defending the Triple Crown is even more unprecedented.
If Real Madrid can really defend, it will surely make fans all over the world crazy.
...
Like all official occasions, Real Madrid ’s Christmas luncheon is announced by Real Madrid TV, and the photos are posted on the official website, and even some of the content is broadcast live. Therefore, the seats and positions are more important.
Ancelotti, Zidane and Valdano and others all accompanied Florentino to sit on the chief, especially Ancelotti, and were specially arranged beside Florentino. This clearly shows Real Madrid's importance to Ancelotti.
In the past few years the Italian fat man has coached, Real Madrid has achieved great results, and more importantly, Real Madrid has completed the transformation in his hands.
After the collapse of the first stage of the Galaxy, Real Madrid transformed from the original offensive football game to a defensive game, and then experienced coaches such as Capello, Juan de Ramos and Schuster, without exception, All take a defensive play, to Benitez, although the team's offense is sharp, but the defensive counterattack is the keynote.
In the first season of Ancelotti's coaching, although he won the Triple Crown, he actually still played defensive counterattack, then tried transformation, and failed, but also succeeded. Later, with David · Silveva, Modric and other players gradually came to the top, Real Madrid began to take more pass ball control.
By this season, Real Madrid's offensive football can be described as brilliant.
Many people like to compare Real Madrid and Barcelona's ball control, but in fact, these are two different ideas.
Real Madrid's pass and control of the ball is still mainly based on practicality. Although there are backcourt passes to control the rhythm, it is more for direct pass and long pass service. The team's pass and ball start point is for goals.
And Barcelona are more hoping to use the ball to control the rhythm, not daring to try and take risks easily.
This makes Real Madrid's style more adventurous and more errors, but this season, Real Madrid has significantly reduced the number of pass errors and offensive errors. In addition to the ball control rate, the pass is successful Statistics such as rate are better than Barcelona, and the offense is also more threatening.
It can be said that in the hands of Ancelotti, Real Madrid has really completed the transition from defensive counterattack to ball control attack.
For this, the emperor was very satisfied both up and down, and because of this, this fat Italian full of bad water was able to sit beside Real Madrid ’s President Florentino and had been eagerly communicating with Florentino. .
Yang Yang has no privileges. He sits with all the players, and everyone is talking and laughing.
During the entire banquet, Florentino and the board members also moved around and treated the players everywhere.
Yang Yang has always been the focus of attention in the audience, and there is always an endless stream of people around him. Until the banquet is coming to an end, his teammates have opened up, and he has gained a little personal space.
But before he could take a break, Florentino greeted him again with a grin.
...
Yang Yang always felt that Florentino's smile was terrible.
Of course, this is not to say that his smile is insidious or something else. On the contrary, the chairman of Real Madrid has never used the means that can not get on the table, but his smile is very politician.
Maybe he is smiling at you now, and next time he will make a decision to expel you from Real Madrid.
Over the years, Yang Yang has been accustomed to all kinds of people. He has contacted good old people like Moratti, he has also contacted two former Liverpool bosses, and has contacted the three Barcelona presidents. Florentino.
This is a capable person!
Yang Yang asks himself that he is an emotional person, so he is always emotional, but he has to admit that to run a company and a club, he often needs to be like Florentino.
Just like Moratti of Inter Milan, it is not necessarily a good thing to be too emotional.
But every time he sees Florentino, Yang Yang still can't help but speculate in his heart. In his seemingly kind smile, he is a little bit sincere and a bit pretentious?
In the end, he had to admit every time that he could not guess.
Florentino is still mainly concerned about Yang Yang's state and his physical condition, and Yang Yang also answered truthfully.
Every professional player has some injuries on his body, and Yang Yang is no exception. For example, his left shoulder still often feels uncomfortable, but this does not affect his game.
Then Florentino also talked about the current situation of the team. What really caught Yang Yang's attention was that Florentino mentioned a report from the UEFA technical team.
"According to their technical report research and analysis, compared with other top European teams, the training quality is relatively low. In the report, they recommended that we increase the training intensity. What do you think of this?"
Yang Yang glanced at Ancelotti in the distance, he was drinking with his old partner, and his son and son-in-law, laughing and having fun, as if not knowing the UEFA technical team stabbed in the back He got a knife.
But it is also normal, this is something on the club management.
"I think our training is okay." Yang Yang said frankly.
The quality of Ancelotti's training cannot be considered high, but it is not as serious as the report said.
The outside world has always questioned Ancelotti's coaching team, and many people even believe that he is amicable and private, accepting his son, son-in-law and assistant's son.
Although the salary is paid by his head coach, it is somewhat suspected of mixed experience and experience.
As a Real Madrid player, Yang Yang said impartially that no one can guarantee that Ancelotti has no such thoughts. After all, he also wants his son and son-in-law to find a way out, but his training quality is indeed good.
"Our game is under great pressure. Starting from August, we have a double week in a row. There are many internationals. In the middle of September, October and November, our internationals have participated in a large number of national team competitions. Modric is even more The muscles are severely torn, which shows that we are indeed very tired, so the training is still mainly adjusted, and the intensity is not as normal as other teams. "
"I think this report can be used as a reference, but there is no need to compare, you think, how many more games do we play than other teams? One European Super Cup, two Spanish Super Cups, and two more The World Cup is not counted as an extra game played during the three national team match days. "
Florentino doesn't understand the ball either, on the contrary, he knows it well, so he knows that playing five more games is a heavy pressure and burden for any team, not to mention Real Madrid itself is Fight on the third line.
It is not difficult to see from his nodded again and again that he at least accepted Yang Yang's statement.
It's not just Yang Yang. The technical director Valdano and the chairman's consultant Zidane also have the same opinions as Yang Yang.
It can be used for reference, but there is no need to compare it.
It can be seen that this matter is just Florentino consulting Yang Yang by the way. He found that Yang Yang actually has other more important things.
