Chapter 1231 Goal: Defend the Triple Crown!

Every Christmas, the management of Real Madrid invites players, coaches and staff from the football and basketball departments to gather together and hold a Christmas banquet, and adjust the time according to the different schedules.

Since Real Madrid will go to Morocco to participate in the Club World Cup this year, Real Madrid's Christmas dinner is arranged at noon the next day of the Champions League group stage, and the location is also chosen in the honor room of the Bernabéu Stadium.

The trophies that had been placed were all put away, the window was 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 quite good, but its influence in the world is obviously far greater than that of basketball.

Every year for the Christmas dinner, Real Madrid invites famous Spanish chefs to sit in the town, and famous chefs from Spain and Europe are also proud to accept Real Madrid's invitation. Juan's House Barbecue Restaurant is a must-have chef for every banquet in Real Madrid.

In addition to the players, coaching staff and staff, there are also members from the management and board of directors. Everyone gathered together, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet was quite warm.

Real Madrid's performance this season is obvious to all. At present, La Liga has counterattacked and reached the top, leading the standings with a two-point advantage. Barcelona is ranked second, and Atletico Madrid is in third.

This is also a serious problem for the middle and lower teams, that is, lack of stamina.

To put it simply, the bench is not thick enough and the lineup is too thin.

Leading La Liga, the UEFA Champions League group stage has an amazing record of six victories, leading the group. Both results are good enough to make Real Madrid stand out from the crowd. The management is also very satisfied, and the players are also in harmony.

Therefore, the atmosphere at the scene was quite warm.

Real Madrid President Florentino personally presided over this warm and warm Christmas luncheon and delivered a speech, affirming the achievements of all Real Madrid players and encouraging them to continue their efforts.

The management believes that Real Madrid can still gain something this season. Needless to say, La Liga and the Champions League are also quite competitive. I hope that all players can focus on the game and strive for another success.

Florentino even said in a half-joking way that if the team can defend the Triple Crown, the club will also appreciate it and give everyone unprecedented rewards.

The personal promise from the chairman has undoubtedly greatly improved the morale and fighting spirit of the players in the Real Madrid team. Many people stood up and applauded, expressing solidarity with the chairman's rhetoric, especially the captain Ramos, who threatened to lead the team to win all the championships.

Yang Yang didn't participate in it, and he didn't particularly care about rewards, but he still valued honor very much, because if he could really defend the Triple Crown, it would be the strongest achievement in his career.

Since ancient times, the triple crown of the five major leagues has been rare, and the defending triple crown is even more unprecedented.

If Real Madrid can really defend the title, it will definitely make fans all over the world crazy.

……

Like all formal occasions, Real Madrid's Christmas luncheon is also announced by Real Madrid TV, and photos are posted on the official website, and some content is even broadcast live, so seats and positions are more important.

Ancelotti, Zidane, Valdano and others all accompanied Florentino to sit at the top, especially Carlo Ancelotti, who was specially arranged next to Florentino, which clearly shows the importance that Real Madrid attaches to Carlo Ancelotti.

During the past few years coached by Fatty Italy, Real Madrid has achieved outstanding results, and more importantly, Real Madrid has completed its transformation in his hands.

After the collapse of the first phase of the Galaxy, Real Madrid transformed from the original offensive football style to a defensive style of football. Afterwards, they experienced head coaches such as Capello, Juande Ramos and Schuster.

In the first season of Ancelotti's coaching, although he won the Triple Crown, he actually still played defensively and counterattacked. Then he tried to transform, failed, but also succeeded. Later, with David Silva, Modric and other players gradually coming to power, Real Madrid began to adopt more pass and ball control.

This season, Real Madrid's offensive football can be said to shine.

Many people like to compare the possession of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but in fact, these are two different concepts.

Real Madrid's pass and control is still mainly based on practicality. Although there are backcourt passes and rhythm control, they are more for direct and long pass services. The starting point of the team's pass and control is to score goals.

And Barcelona is more hoping to use the ball to control the rhythm, and dare not try and take risks lightly.

This makes Real Madrid's style more risky and makes more mistakes, but this season, Real Madrid's mistakes in passing and receiving, as well as offensive mistakes, have been significantly reduced a lot. In addition to possession rate, pass success rate and other statistics are better than Barcelona, ​​and their offense is also more threatening.

It can be said that in the hands of Ancelotti, Real Madrid has really completed the transformation from defensive counterattack to ball possession attack.

Real Madrid is very satisfied with this point, and because of this, this fat Italian man with a full stomach can sit next to Real Madrid chairman Florentino, and has been eagerly communicating with Florentino.

Yang Yang did not engage in privileges, he sat with all the players, and everyone was talking and laughing.

During the entire banquet, Florentino and the members of the board of directors also walked around frequently to entertain the players.

Yang Yang was always the focus of the audience's attention, and there was always a constant stream of people around him. It wasn't until the banquet came to an end and his teammates broke up that he got a little personal space.

But before he could take a good breath, Florentino greeted him again with a wide smile.

……

Yang Yang has always felt that Florentino's smile is quite scary.

Of course, it's not that his smile is insidious or anything else. On the contrary, the Real Madrid president has never used those tricks that don't make it to the stage, but his smile is very politician.

Maybe he smiles at you now, and the next moment he will make a decision to expel you from Real Madrid.

Over the years, Yang Yang has been used to seeing all kinds of people. He has come into contact with good people like Moratti, the two former owners of Liverpool, and even the three presidents of Barcelona. If he had to choose, he would still choose Florentino.

This is a man who can do great things!
Yang Yang himself is an emotional person, so sometimes he is always emotional, but he has to admit that to run a company and a club, he still needs to be like Florentino in many cases.

Just like Moratti of Inter Milan, being too emotional may not be a good thing.

But every time he sees Florentino, Yang Yang can't help but guess in his heart, how much of his seemingly kind smile is sincere, and how much is fake?
In the end, he had to admit each time, he couldn't figure it out.

Florentino was mainly concerned about Yang Yang's state and his physical condition, and Yang Yang answered truthfully.

Every professional player has more or less injuries, and Yang Yang is no exception. For example, his left shoulder still often feels uncomfortable, but this will not affect his game.

Then Florentino also talked about the current situation of the team. Among them, 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, our training quality is relatively low. In their report, they suggested 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, as well as his son and son-in-law, talking and laughing happily, as if he had no idea that the UEFA technical team had stabbed him in the back.

But it's normal, this is a matter of club management.

"I think our training is okay." Yang Yang said frankly.

The quality of Ancelotti's training can't be considered high, but it's 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 nepotism, giving and receiving in private, and put his son, son-in-law and assistant's son in.

Although the salary is paid by him as the head coach, it is somewhat suspected of mixed qualifications and experience.

As a player of Real Madrid, Yang Yang said impartially that no one can guarantee that Ancelotti does not have 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 games are under a lot of pressure. Starting from August, we played double matches for a week, and there are many national football teams. In September, October and November, our national football teams participated in a lot of national team games. Modric suffered a serious muscle tear. It can be seen that we are indeed very tired, so training is more about adjustment. It is normal that the intensity is not as good as other teams."

"I think this report can be used for reference, but there is no need to compare. You think, how many more games do we have to play than other teams? One UEFA Super Cup, two Spanish Super Cups, and then two Club World Cups. This is not counting the extra games played during the three national team match days."

It's not that Florentino doesn't understand football, on the contrary, he understands it very well, so he knows that playing five more games is a heavy pressure and burden for any team, not to mention that Real Madrid itself is fighting on the third line.

It is not difficult to see from his repeated nodding that he at least accepted Yang Yang's statement.

Not only Yang Yang, but also technical director Valdano and chairman advisor Zidane have the same opinions as Yang Yang.

It can be used for reference, but there is no need to compare it with reality.

It can be seen that this matter is just that Florentino consulted Yang Yang by the way. He found Yang Yang because he had other more important matters.
