Chapter 1207 Yang Yang's recommendation

In late July, Real Madrid collectively headed to the United States for a training camp, but this time there were only 20 people in the training team.

All international footballers participating in the World Cup will decide when they will return to the team according to the time of the last match of their national team in the World Cup. Yang Yang and the newly joined Toni Kroos are the latest.

Due to the absence of many core players, the training list for the United States this time is mainly composed of substitutes and young players, and the most notable ones are undoubtedly the Spanish national goalkeeper Iker Casillas and the Costa Rica national goalkeeper Navas who returned to the team early despite participating in the World Cup round of [-]. The latter is a new player.

The reason for the attention of many media is simple. If Real Madrid signs De Gea, Casillas will be in an embarrassing situation. The possibility of the Real Madrid captain leaving the team is very high.

The Costa Rican goalkeeper was unknown before, even in La Liga, and did not attract too much attention, but because of his outstanding performance in the World Cup, he joined Real Madrid and became popular.

But everyone is also very clear that this former Levante goalkeeper is not introduced by Real Madrid as the main goalkeeper, but more of a substitute goalkeeper, so the key depends on Casillas' own state and whether Real Madrid will introduce a high-level goalkeeper.

The most worth mentioning in the list is Jesse, the Real Madrid teenager who suffered serious injuries last season and was absent for half a year. Although he was absent from the World Cup, he returned to the team on the day of the pre-season training camp and participated in all the summer training camps. He was in good condition and performed very positively.

Everyone can see that Jesse is trying to recover his state after experiencing a serious injury, and the team is full of expectations for Jesse's return, and they are trying their best to help him get back to the state before the injury.

The return of Jesse is a good thing for Real Madrid, but it also wears away the last glimmer of hope for Morata. This Real Madrid substitute forward has performed well in the past two or three seasons.

Just before the team went to the United States, Morata successfully removed himself from the list. Two days later, he transferred to the Serie A giants Juventus at a high price of 2000 million euros, but in this contract, Real Madrid has Morata's buyback rights within two years.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as Real Madrid's optimism for Morata. If he can perform well in Juventus, the possibility of returning to Real Madrid within two years is still very high.

Losing Morata, Yang Yang, Suarez, Di Maria and Hazard have not yet returned to the team. Real Madrid's training team to the United States has only one Jesse who has just recovered from a serious injury after being absent for half a year. This makes Real Madrid's warm-up match in the United States very unsatisfactory.

First they lost [-]-[-] to Inter Milan, then [-]-[-] to Serie A Roma, and finally [-]-[-] to Premier League Manchester United. They conceded [-] goals in three warm-up matches. Such results and performance are indeed unsatisfactory, especially the state of goalkeeper Iker Casillas is still not reassuring.

Three games and three losses, Real Madrid's performance in the United States is disappointing, especially the team's defense, which is even more embarrassing.

Both Ancelotti and Zidane expressed their views that the team's poor performance is mainly due to the fact that many main players have just returned to the team, and some have not even returned to the team.

"We have every reason to believe that with the arrival of the new season, the team's performance will get better and better, because our overall strength this season is stronger and better than any previous year."

Obviously, with the joining of Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez, Real Madrid's midfield strength has been significantly improved, which also makes Real Madrid full of confidence.

But when the team returned to Europe from the United States, Bayern Munich officially announced that it would introduce Spanish midfielder Xavi Alonso from Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 1000 million euros. According to German media, this is an important transfer appointed by Bayern coach Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola has been keeping Toni Kroos, hoping to facilitate the renewal of the contract between Bayern management and Toni Kroos, but unfortunately, Toni Kroos eventually transferred to Real Madrid. For this reason, Guardiola chose to introduce Harvey Alonso from Real Madrid to fill the gap left by Toni Kroos.

The transactions of the two teams are puzzling to the fans, especially Bayern, who traded the younger Toni Kroos for the veteran Harvey Alonso, is it just for the transfer fee of 2000 million euros?
After Real Madrid sold Harvey Alonso, it officially announced that it had introduced Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga at a high price of 500 million euros. This deal was affirmed by Real Madrid's coaching staff and technical team.

"According to the internal information obtained by the reporter, Yang Yang saw the Wolfsburg game in order to understand his opponents Dortmund and Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and was attracted by De Bruyne's playing style, especially his running and passing. Then Yang Yang told Zidane what he had learned."

"In fact, long before the decision to introduce Toni Kroos, there was a discussion within Real Madrid. Verratti recommended by Ancelotti, Pogba recommended by Zidane, De Bruyne recommended by Yang Yang, and Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich were all the focus of the discussion, but the introduction of Pogba, who was the most difficult, was the first to be rejected."

"In the end, as the German team won the World Cup, Toni Kroos became the best candidate for Real Madrid. However, with Harvey Alonso's departure, the introduction of a powerful midfielder was put on the agenda again. Among the choices between Verratti and De Bruyne, Zidane persuaded Ancelotti and finally unanimously chose De Bruyne."

"Everyone believes that the 22-year-old Belgian midfielder will be Real Madrid's most anticipated rookie in the next few years, De Bruyne, Isco, Hazard, James Rodriguez, Jesse, Illia Lamendi..."

"There is no doubt that Real Madrid will have the top young lineup in European football, which will also provide Real Madrid with a strong backing in the next few years. More importantly, Real Madrid, which insists on multi-line combat, does not lack high-level training opportunities. This will undoubtedly bring convenience to the training of young players."

Finally, AS reported that Yang Yang seldom intervenes in club transfers, but every time he participates, he shows a very high level of vision and level. For example, he kept Robben and Sneijder back then, and insisted on keeping Di Maria last season.

……

After signing De Bruyne, counting Navas, Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez, Real Madrid invested more than 5000 million euros in the transfer market this year. Although selling Herrera, Morata, Harvey Alonso and Robben made a lot of money, the investment is also quite large.

But there has been no movement in the position of goalkeeper for a long time, which makes Real Madrid fans very worried, especially after experiencing the three disasters in the United States, which can be called a three-game losing streak.

In the end, Real Madrid officials had to act immediately.

On the third day after Real Madrid returned to Spain from North America, Real Madrid officially announced that it had introduced Courtois, the Belgian national goalkeeper who was on loan at Atletico Madrid, from Chelsea at a high price of 500 million euros.

This young goalkeeper, who had been with Barcelona all summer, ended up joining Real Madrid. This surprised Real Madrid fans, and at the same time felt uncomfortable, because after all, the goalkeeper was brought in from a rival in the same city.

But the saddest are the Barcelona fans.

First Toni Kroos, then James Rodriguez, and now Courtois again, how come the players that Barcelona are eyeing are cut off by Real Madrid one by one?

If it is said that Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez are still excusable, what is going on with Courtois?Hasn't Real Madrid been eyeing De Gea all the time?
Why did you suddenly change the target?

The Catalan media are all dissatisfied with this, but they are more concerned with the operation of the Barcelona management. They believe that the team’s transfer and signings this summer are definitely a failure, because the team’s plan to transform the defense line was frustrated. David Luiz moved to Paris Saint-Germain, and now Courtois moved to Real Madrid.

Barcelona Chairman Bartomeu had to call out Thiago Silva and Verratti, hoping to calm down the anger of the fans, but Paris Saint-Germain quickly fought back, saying that if Barcelona dared to poach Paris Saint-Germain players, they would forcefully poach Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar.

Backed by the wealthy Qatar consortium, Paris Saint-Germain issued such a threat that even Barcelona had to admit it, which once again disrupted Barcelona's plan to reform the defense.

After the setback in the introduction of Courtois, Barcelona immediately shifted its target and introduced German goalkeeper Ter Stegen from Borussia Mönchengladbach with a transfer fee of 1000 to [-] million euros.

The arrival of the Lion King also basically pronounced the departure of Valdes and substitute goalkeeper Pinto.

Coincidentally, after Real Madrid introduced Courtois, Casillas also quickly proposed a transfer, and transferred from Real Madrid to Porto in the Portuguese Super League through a free transfer.

This is also the announcement that the Real Madrid era belonging to Casillas is completely over!

But at the same time, the outside media are also discussing, after Casillas leaves the team, who will succeed him as the new captain of Real Madrid?
It was at this sensitive moment that Yang Yang returned to Baldbebas.
