Chapter 1100 The First Championship of the Season
Even though it was a holiday, Yang Yang would actually spare some time for training every day, which allowed him to maintain a very good physical condition after returning to the team, and his weight did not exceed the standard, which was still very standard.

At that time, the whole Real Madrid team was in the medical examination room, and they all admired it, especially the few new players.

Being able to maintain self-discipline during the season is the professionalism of the players, but to be able to maintain such self-discipline outside the season, it really can only rely on the restraint of the players themselves.

But this is just the beginning.

After the training camp started, Real Madrid began to devote themselves to the pre-season training in full swing, and Yang Yang was no exception.

Come to Valdebebas on time at nine o'clock every morning, and start an extra hour of training before training.

The little apprentices Jesse, Carvajal and Marcelo are also training with Yang Yang recently. Needless to say, Jesse, Carvajal wants to grab the main position, while Marcelo is trying to get back to his best state.

Just kidding, in the second half of last season, he was always suppressed by Azpilicueta. If he didn't work harder and lost his main position, it would be difficult for him to get it back.

After an hour of extra training, there will be the team's training. Ancelotti still follows the original method. The intensity of the pre-season training camp is very high. Although it is only two training sessions a day, it really belongs to the kind of training that can peel people off.

After the morning training session, everyone will have lunch at the training base, and then have a nap time. After the nap, Yang Yang goes to the swimming pool to swim. This is also a good habit he has maintained for many years. Even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, he will still insist on swimming and never slack off.

Ancelotti likes to hold meetings. After the lunch break in the afternoon, there will be a tactical meeting for about an hour. The Italian will specially find a lot of videos and materials to analyze the tactical ideas he wants to express with everyone.

According to his thinking, Real Madrid will continue to adopt a four-three-three formation this season, but will also consider a four-three-two-one Christmas tree formation, a four-four-two formation, and a three-back three-five-two formation.

Don't be fooled by this set of formations, thinking that Ancelotti wants to practice multiple sets of tactics, but in fact it is not, because the formation is often just for the convenience of players to understand the tactics on the field.

Just like the [-] formation, if Mascherano and Javi Martinez's defensive midfielders retreat, the two central defenders pull to the side, and the full backs press forward, then [-] will immediately become [-], which can be switched smoothly on the court.

As the saying goes, soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. Players are running on the court, and there is no fixed position.

Especially in recent years, this trend has become more and more obvious.

……

After the tactical meeting, they usually take a break and immediately start the afternoon training session.

Then Yang Yang will stay and practice with Marcelo and other teammates, usually leaving around 09:30.

This is the daily schedule of Yang Yang's pre-season training in the past few years. No matter how intense Ancelotti is on the training ground, he will choose to stay for additional training after training.

As in previous years, Winston Bogard tailored a set of training plans for Yang Yang, hoping to help Yang Yang further stimulate and tap his potential while maintaining his peak state.

Unknowingly, Yang Yang is 26 years old, and will be 27 in October. Now he is undoubtedly at the peak of his physical condition, so he himself is working hard to climb new heights, show better state and performance, and constantly break through himself.

As No.1 in world football, he has no opponents in front of him, because legends such as Pele and Maradona are out of reach, and it is impossible for Guan Gong to fight Qin Qiong. Therefore, he can only aim at his own limit and strive to break through it.

…………

Real Madrid's first warm-up match of the new season is in Bournemouth, England, after a week of training.

Since it was the first warm-up match and the opponent's strength was not strong, Ancelotti still started with a four-three-three formation.

Goalkeeper Iker Casillas, Marcelo, Vermaelen, Varane and Carvajal in the defense, Mascherano in the midfield, Isco and Modric in the front, Hazard, Yang Yang and Robben in the frontcourt.

The game was divided into two halves. Ancelotti replaced all the starting lineup in one go, while the second half adopted a four-four-two tactical play, allowing Suarez and Morata to serve as double strikers.

In the No.20 second minute of the first half, Yang Yang scored a direct free kick close to 30 meters away, opening the scoring for Real Madrid. After that, Yang Yang passed the goalkeeper and shot an empty goal. Before the end of the first half, Mascherano scored a goal in chaos, helping the team lead [-]-[-] in the first half.

After changing the whole team in the second half, Suarez broke through the opponent's defense line in just 2 minutes and scored a single goal. After that, Di Maria and Illararamendi scored successively.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Bournemouth [-]-[-] in an away game and won the first show of the warm-up match.

……

The big victory in the first show of the warm-up match did not attract much attention, because the strength gap between the two sides was huge, and everyone paid more attention to the performance of Real Madrid, while the new aids Suarez, Isco and Illarramendi were very surprising.

Especially Isco, who replaced David Silva, who played in the Confederations Cup, started. The 21-year-old Spanish midfielder performed very well, especially the cooperation with Hazard several times, which is eye-catching.

Ancelotti also intends to investigate the connection and cooperation between Hazard, Isco and Modric in this game. All three are ball-handling players. Both Hazard and Isco have strong dribbling and breakthrough abilities, while Modric has excellent organizational and field control abilities. Such a combination is very exciting.

The final result was surprising, but there were also shortcomings. The main reason was that the players did not cooperate with each other tacitly enough.

…………

…………

If it is said that the victory over Bournemouth in the first game was a surprise, the second warm-up match away to Lyon was a test of a strong dialogue, but at this time Real Madrid had just gone through a week of devil training, whether it was physical or state, it was obviously unsatisfactory.

On the other hand, Lyon, because the Ligue [-] started earlier and their training time was earlier, so the state is obviously adjusted better, which makes the Lyon players obviously play more stately on the court.

At this time, the most important thing for the team is to practice tactics and routines, and to play something.

In the first half, everyone in Real Madrid performed very sluggishly. Lyon scored a goal in the No. 20 minute, and then until the No. 60 second minute in the second half, the Lyon team made another victory and expanded the score.

Ancelotti still made large-scale substitutions in the first and second half, while Real Madrid continued until the No. 708 minute. Jesse dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area and was tripped. Morata took a penalty kick and won it overnight for Real Madrid.

Seven minutes later, Morata created a corner kick, Di Maria took a corner kick, and Vermaelen headed home to seal the score at 7-[-].

In the end, Real Madrid drew [-]-[-] away with Lyon.

…………

…………

Three days later, Real Madrid ushered in their third warm-up match in Gothenburg, Sweden, against Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue [-].

This is another formidable opponent, and Ancelotti formed a Christmas tree formation in the starting lineup for this game, with Herrera, Mascherano and Modric forming a three-back midfielder, in front of Hazard and Isco's double front midfielder combination, and Yang Yang as a single striker.

This is a very interesting tactical style of play. Real Madrid firmly controlled the situation in the first half, and crushed Paris Saint-Germain in terms of passing the ball and creating opportunities.

It was also the only goal in the game.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Ancelotti did not replace all players this time, but replaced Yang Yang and others, and changed to a three-five-two style of play with three defenders. Obviously, the team is still running in.

In the end, the score of one to zero was maintained until the end of the game, and Real Madrid beat Paris Saint-Germain by one goal.

…………

…………

After playing Paris Saint-Germain, the Real Madrid team went to the United States to participate in the International Champions Cup.

In the first round, they played against David Beckham's Los Angeles Galaxy in Phoenix.

Isco started again and performed extremely well. First, he sent a long pass in No. 15 minutes. Yang Yang then inserted a stop and crossed to the right. Robben, who was unguarded, easily lobbed and hit.

In the second half, they changed sides to fight again, and it was Isco's diagonal pass again. Yang Yang scored with a low shot, [-]-[-].

Although the Los Angeles Galaxy pulled back a goal, Di Maria, who came off the bench, made a breakthrough from the wing and made a cross. Suarez scored with a header from the front of the small penalty area, locking the score at [-]-[-].

Isco became the best player in this game and played the whole game.

…………

…………

Three days later, in Los Angeles, Real Madrid faced Everton in the semi-finals of the International Champions Cup.

In the No.17 minute, Yang Yang passed the goalkeeper and shot an empty goal. In the No.301 minute, after receiving a pass from Modric, he made a selfless cross, and Hazard pushed and shot an empty goal.

In the second half, Everton pulled a goal back, and the final score was locked at [-]-[-].

…………

…………

August [-]th, Miami, International Champions Cup final, Real Madrid against Chelsea.

In the 14th minute of Real Madrid, Modric assisted Marcelo to score a goal, but 2 minutes later, Ramirez received a pass from Lukaku to equalize the score.

No. In the 301st minute, Yang Yang used a direct free kick to break through Chelsea's goal and lead the score again.

In the 7th minute of the second half, Suarez scored the ball and Isco made a pass from the left side of the penalty area. Yang Yang hit the goal with a header from close range and scored twice. At the same time, the score was locked at [-]-[-].

In the end, Real Madrid won this year's International Champions Cup!
But the most gratifying thing about this final is the recovery of Casillas' state. He performed impressively throughout the game, especially during Chelsea's repetition, he saved three key shots in a row within 5 minutes, and his state was very brave.

…………

…………

After finishing the International Champions Cup, Real Madrid faced Inter Milan in St. Louis, USA.

This is the last warm-up match in North America. With the goals of David Silva, Yang Yang and Jesse, Real Madrid beat Inter Milan [-]-[-]. The whole game was very stable.

Anyone can see that after more than a month of training and competition, Real Madrid has adjusted its state and is ready for the new season.
