It's Christmas time again!
Unlike previous years, Real Madrid is not busy this Christmas.
In the past few years, due to the World Club Cup, Real Madrid has to go back and forth every year in the middle and late December, resulting in a dense schedule and a lot of pressure on the game, so the team ’s traditional Christmas dinner is basically a pin. Organized.
But this year is different. The management announced early that the team will hold the annual Christmas dinner at the Bernabeu Stadium on the evening of December 23, the day after the 18th round of La Liga. .
With plenty of time and adequate preparation, this year's Christmas dinner was larger than in previous years.
In addition to the Real Madrid first team players, coaching staff, management and employees, but also their families, the scene of the guests gathered, the atmosphere is extremely lively, and only after the renovation and expansion of the club honor room can accommodate such a large banquet.
There are many guests, and the club specially invited some chefs including Juan's Barbecue Restaurant to sit in town.
This event also attracted media reporters from all over the world, as well as a large number of fans on the Internet.
Real Madrid's performance this season has been brilliant. At the beginning of Yang Yang's coaching, the warm-up seven-game losing streak caused the outside world to be very pessimistic about Real Madrid's prospects. However, after entering the official game, Yang Yang's coaching performance ushered in an outbreak and spurred on.
So far, Real Madrid have maintained a winning record in both the La Liga and the Champions League. Each game has reached 24 consecutive victories, which is far more than any team in any period in Real Madrid's history.
No one thought of it.
Everyone's original expectation of Yang Yang was to lead the team out of the predicament. The highest expectation is to lead the team to win the La Liga or the Champions League. Unexpectedly, Yang Yang has brought such amazing performance to everyone after half a season of coaching.
This actually made Real Madrid fans and the media all over the world a little uncomfortable.
Are the expectations given earlier too low?
Should n’t that raise the goal?
If it is improved, where should the goal be set?
Numerous problems lie in front of the media and fans, but they are somewhat at a loss.
Real Madrid ’s management is also very satisfied with Yang Yang ’s coaching performance. Florentino highly praised Yang Yang ’s coaching in more than one interview. He believes that the decision to invite him to coach is the same as the decision to invite Yang Yang to Real Madrid. Greatness will change the history of Real Madrid.
"He is the greatest player in Real Madrid history, we believe that he will also become the greatest coach in Real Madrid history!"
In order to show the sincerity of Real Madrid, Florentino even publicly promised to renew the contract with Yang Yang at the Real Madrid General Assembly at the end of this year. He regarded this task as the top priority of the club's work.
"We all know that Yang Yang signed a contract with us for only one year. At present, many rich teams have started to contact him, hoping to invite him to coach and play football. Although Yang Yang did not agree and did not think about leaving, but We still decided to renew his contract in advance. "
"I want to say that in the future, he will always belong to Real Madrid!"
Florentino's public commitment at the general meeting soon turned into the action of Real Madrid's management.
Yang Yang does not want to sign a long contract, because he very much recognizes Guardiola's words that too long a coaching contract can easily make people lose motivation and enterprising spirit. He also hopes to maintain the rhythm of signing a year. Enough pressure.
He is confident to maintain self-discipline, but he can't hold back human nature.
Besides, one sign a year is not only a spur to yourself, but also a pressure on the management. After all, Yang Yang still likes to get a big enough voice in the competition level and does not want the management to interfere too much in his work.
Before the team's performance was bad, the management begged Yang Yang to return. Naturally, everything was easy to talk about, but if the team's performance came up later, they began to change their minds, and Yang Yang was restricted by the long-term contract.
Therefore, Yang Yang always insists on signing once a year.
Real Madrid does not want this, because they will live in fear every day.
Not to mention anything else, let's say that so far this season, many giant teams including Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Bayern Munich have contacted Yang Yang, and they all lined up to invite Yang Yang to coach.
I would like to ask, in this case, if there is no long contract, can Real Madrid rest assured?
Both sides have their own needs, so Real Madrid sat down with Yang Yang's agent Laiola to talk.
Finally, the two parties negotiated a five-year coaching contract, but during these five years, they have to re-sign each year. Yang Yang can evaluate his future in the club based on some complicated terms, and then decide whether to sign a coaching contract for the next season.
In return, Real Madrid also has the right to refuse to renew the contract when signing it each year in accordance with the terms of the contract.
Regardless of the future, at this moment, at this Christmas dinner in the honor room of the Bernabeu Stadium, Florentino as the chairman, when he took the stage to give a speech, he was very proud to announce this heavy decision just reached .
"I announced that Yang Yang will continue to stay at Real Madrid for at least the next five years!"
There was a lot of applause in the honor room, and many players even stood up and cheered Yang Yang.
The media reporters interviewed at the scene deeply felt Yang Yang's influence and status in the Real Madrid Club. Not only the players, but also the employees and even board members and player representatives were very satisfied with the decision.
Yang Yang was respected by the audience. He stood up and bowed to the surroundings to express his gratitude. This won him more enthusiastic applause. Florentino simply took the microphone and walked directly to Yang Yang. He said a few words to everyone on the scene.
This made Yang Yang flattered and surprised everyone.
Tonight ’s Christmas dinner was not just about players, but also other people, including board members and member representatives, and speaking on this occasion represented a recognition of Yang Yang ’s status.
While Yang Yang was surprised, he was also at a loss.
"To be frank, let me explain the tactics. It's okay to speak on the spot ... it's really embarrassing me!"
Yang Yang's words made everyone on the scene burst into laughter.
This is frank, because everyone who knows Yang Yang knows that he has never been a talkative and outgoing person. On the contrary, he has been almost insulated from gossip over the years, mainly because he is not good at dealing with various complicated social activities.
Even he didn't even want to do Real Madrid's captain!
"First of all, I want to thank the Real Madrid players, the coaching staff, the medical team and colleagues in various departments, thank you for working side by side with me, thank you for your support and understanding in my daily work, no With your cooperation and support, the team cannot achieve today's results. "
After a pause, Yang Yang seemed to see the eyes of Florentino, Butragueno, Manuel Redondo, etc. He immediately reacted, "Oh, yes, of course, we also want Thanks to the management and leadership of the club for their trust in me, which allows me to work more freely. "
There was another laugh at the scene, including Florentino, all smiled and smiled. It felt quite unexpected that this guy came here suddenly, but the atmosphere on the scene was very good, a bit like a ridicule of leadership. .
"What I want to say is that eighteen consecutive victories and twenty-four consecutive victories are just the beginning!"
The scene became quiet again, leaving only Yang Yang's voice.
Media reporters are long-shot and short-fired, some have set up cameras, and even some people simply broadcast live on the network platform, and spread their sights on the scene through various means.
"I played for Real Madrid for ten years. I know better than anyone how amazing the energy and the huge potential of this team. What we are doing now is just a small part of it. I know you can be more Strong, you can do more and better, many of you will be the most powerful world-class players in your position. "
"Some people say that Real Madrid ’s tradition is beautiful offensive football, but I do n’t think so. I think that Real Madrid ’s traditional football should be victorious and winning. Real Madrid ’s football philosophy is to win the championship and win all championship honors!"
"We are such a team, we were born to fight for the championship!"
"For a team like us, no championship means failure!"
Florentino and everyone at the scene nodded because Yang Yang was right.
Real Madrid's football is to impact the championship. As for playing beautiful and gorgeous football, it is a further pursuit on this basis.
"I do n’t know how far we can play this season, and I do n’t know if we can win all the time, but what I want to say is, guys, we finally got to this point, let us work together Enter, let's work hard to play every next game. "
"This is not just for Real Madrid, for the fans, but also for ourselves. Don't leave any regrets!"
Yang Yang's words just fell, and thunderous applause broke out again.
In particular, several veterans such as Modric felt very much the same.
No regrets, this is why they stay in Real Madrid this season and work hard for it.
None of them wanted to leave with grief and shame.
As if Yang Yang had given them the promise before the season, so far, Yang Yang has given them respect, even if it is like Modric, who has been reduced to a substitute this season, he has also shown a very good strength. Last season was a reborn upgrade.
If this momentum can be maintained, if the team can really win in the last three lines, then this season will be another peak season for Real Madrid, and their group of veterans can also lift their heads and leave the team. Too.
As for some of the young players on the team, or the players in the year of playing, it is not to mention that each one was inflamed by Yang Yang's words.
Many of them did not catch up with the peak time of Real Madrid before, and hope Yang Yang can lead them and create a brand new peak!
