951 Yang Yang Taught a Lesson
Sunday, July 10, was a holiday, but it was the start of a busy season for Ancelotti and his team.
According to Real Madrid's plan, the team will gather on the morning of the 11th, and then head to the airport collectively, take a plane to Los Angeles to start training, and play three warm-up games in the United States, then return to Europe and then to Asia.
During their stay in the United States, Real Madrid will conduct a two-week pre-season training. Except for the Brazil and Argentina internationals who participated in the Copa America, all other internationals will participate. This will be the best time for new coach Carlo Ancelotti to familiarize himself with the team after taking office. .
Real Madrid is a club with a very mature and stable internal structure. After the plan is released, staff from various departments will naturally follow up and cooperate, including contacting hotels, training venues, warm-up opponents and so on.
Ancelotti and his team have only one thing to worry about and that is training and competition.
Starting on the 11th, on the morning of the 10th, Ancelotti's team officially started work.
After careful selection, Ancelotti's coaching team in the new season will reach 17 people, more than Benitez's team before, mainly three physical coaches and two nutritionists, while adding a team doctor .
Joaquin Maas, majoring in medicine and surgery at the University of Valencia, Spain, and later studied at the University of Barcelona for a specialist degree in sports medicine and physical function education. He started working at Levante in 2006 as a team doctor, and moved to Valencia in 2008. , Ancelotti is mainly interested in his medical rehabilitation level.
Originally, the Italians hoped to invite Winston Bogard through Yang Yang. The Dutch have become famous in European football in recent years. They have their own uniqueness in sports rehabilitation and physiotherapy. Bogarde is living a good life now, and he is not willing to follow Real Madrid to fight around.
During Ancelotti's tenure at AC Milan, the most impressive thing is his reuse of a group of veterans. The veterans such as Maldini and Costacurta have maintained a fairly good state. Now, Real Madrid is around 30. The age of players is increasing, and Ancelotti digs Joaquin Mass, and it is estimated that he also has this consideration.
Carlos Dias still serves as the director of the Real Madrid team's medical department and has full overall responsibility for the medical affairs of the team.
In addition to the chief assistant coach Zida, another assistant coach of Ancelotti is the Englishman Paul Clement, who was Ancelotti's assistant coach during his time at Chelsea. The two cooperated very well. After Ancelotti's dismissal, Clemente also lost his job, so Ancelotti brought Clemente over immediately after returning to work at Real Madrid.
And goalkeeping coach William Vicci, who is also a god.
The Italian goalkeeper coach, who is in his 60s, has followed Ancelotti for a long time. He has worked for Parma, Juventus, AC Milan and Chelsea. He has trained two of the world's top goalkeepers, Buffon and Dida. , and also gave Cech a very big help, allowing the Czechs to get rid of injuries and return to the top of the world.
In addition, fitness coach Giovanni Mauri and nutritionist Abardi, needless to say, are all well-known experts in European football who have followed Ancelotti for many years.
It can be said that Ancelotti's entire team is full of talents and strong.
...
At 9:30 in the morning, Ancelotti and his party came to Valdebebas for the first time.
The huge training base was empty, and there was no sound or movement. Neither the first team nor the youth team next door had started training, and naturally there would be no one.
But just as Ancelotti took the group out of the parking lot and headed to the first team training center, just around the corner, he saw a player in a black training uniform on a training ground directly opposite the training center. train.
The temperature in Madrid in mid-July is very high. Although it is past nine in the morning, it is already close to thirty degrees outside.
The man on the training ground seemed not to be affected by the scorching sun at all. He dribbled the ball over the marker plates and carried out some relatively basic training programs. Obviously, he was also adjusting his physical condition and competitive state after the vacation.
Exposed on the outside of the vest and shorts are the muscular lines and dark skin. Obviously, this is not the first day that he has insisted on such training. Seeing him sweating like rain on the training ground, but no one else's attention, it is really true. People have to admire.
"Yang Yang!" Ancelotti recognized the man on the training ground at a glance.
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard it, and they all took a closer look. Isn't it Yang Yang?
Is this the number one player in world football?
"My God, did he train himself like this every preseason training?" someone in the team asked.
At this time, Zidane's voice suddenly came from the side.
"No, it's not just pre-season training, he trains himself like this almost every day."
The French celebrity walked towards them slowly with a kind smile.
"Every day?" Everyone was surprised again.
Zidane nodded, "As far as I know, from Ajax to Liverpool to Real Madrid, he insists on it every day."
Including Ancelotti, everyone was speechless.
What kind of person can be so focused and self-disciplined?
You know, it's not yet time for the training camp, and even if it's a normal training day, it's just started training now, but Yang Yang has obviously been here for an hour or two. Does he practice like this every day?
Everyone couldn't help but think of the previous media reports that Yang Yang practiced for an hour every morning, all year round, and the wind and rain did not change.
"He has always believed that he has no talent for excellence, so he can only work hard every day to ensure that he is not surpassed by others." When Zidane said this, there was an admiration in his eyes, even is admiration.
Sometimes he really thinks that even an ordinary person with ordinary talent will definitely become an outstanding player if he can persist in training like Yang Yang for many years.
What's more, he didn't think Yang Yang's talent was mediocre.
In the eyes of many media and fans, players are all about talent, but as everyone knows, Zidane, who is regarded as a top talent in their eyes, knows better than anyone that hard work is the foundation of a player's success, no matter what his talent is.
A genius like Ronaldo, without years of hard training, did not last long in his peak period. As for too many injuries and so on, these are the results, not the reasons.
Ancelotti had heard a lot of news and reports about Yang Yang before, but he would never have imagined that on the first day he came to Real Madrid, he was taught this vivid lesson by Yang Yang.
He is now beginning to understand what Benitez once said. If you have a player like Yang Yang, if you don't use it well, it must be the responsibility of the coach, and it cannot be shied away!
That's right, if a head coach can't use a player like Yang Yang, then he has no qualifications to coach this team!
In the coaching staff, there are those who are surprised, those who are lucky, those who are amazed, and those who are in awe.
…………
…………
Greeted by Zidane, Ancelotti and others entered the training center directly.
On the training ground, Yang Yang quickly ended his morning training.
He came to Valdebebas for training the day after Ancelotti's press conference because he felt he was overweight and wanted to recover as soon as possible to adjust during the summer training camp. good condition.
In the new season, Real Madrid will continue to compete in the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup. Among them, the opponent of the Spanish Super Cup is Barcelona, that is to say, Real Madrid's opponent in the first two games of the new season is Barcelona.
Missing the league title last season, if this season can kill Barcelona from the very beginning and win the Super Cup, it will undoubtedly give a good start to the new season, and the team will become more morale and fighting spirit.
Today's Real Madrid can be said to be strong and full of talents.
Not to mention anything else, the two newly introduced midfielders, Modric and Herrera, the former is the core of Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, and the latter is also the main midfielder of the La Liga team Zaragoza. He helped Spain win the championship in the recent European Youth Championship in Denmark. He performed well throughout, and opened the scoring for Spain in the final, helping the team to defeat the opponent 2-0.
It can be said that if these two players did not come to Real Madrid and go to any other team, they will definitely be reused, even the core main level, especially Modric, but when they came to Real Madrid, Modric did not. There must be competition in the new season, with the likes of Xavi Alonso, David Silva and Kaka.
In addition to the midfield, the same is true for the frontcourt, such as Di Maria, which is absolutely the main force in other teams, and there are also powerful substitutes such as Fermaelen, Abeloa, and Maxwell in the back line.
Real Madrid's current lineup is more prosperous and stronger than last season. If the team is well polished, it is fully capable of advancing on multiple fronts. The key is to play well and play well from the beginning.
Yang Yang is eager to get back to his state. Another important reason is that the Asian competition of the World Cup qualifiers will start at the end of July. China's first opponent is Laos. A big exam.
The previous Asian Cup did not recruit international players from overseas. Many players, including Yang Yang, did not return to China. They were mainly young players and substitute players. In the end, they failed to achieve three consecutive Asian Cup championships, but the national team emerged. A group of good young players will be an effective supplement to the current national team.
Yang Yang will follow Real Madrid to the United States for training, then fly directly from the United States to China to play the World Cup qualifiers, and then join Real Madrid in China to play two warm-up matches in China.
This is also the first time Yang Yang has followed the club to China in his career, and Real Madrid is also aiming to develop the Asian market. With a Chinese superstar like Yang Yang in the team, they also attach great importance to this trip to China.
After the trip to China, Real Madrid returned to Europe and made some adjustments to usher in the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup.
