Chapter 1419

After defeating Celta Vigo [-]-[-] away, Real Madrid advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

According to the previous schedule map, Real Madrid's opponent this time is Alaves.

After the baptism of hard work, coupled with the tempering of the difficult schedule, the state of the Real Madrid team has gradually improved.

On the evening of January 29th, Real Madrid sat at the Bernabéu Stadium to face the visiting Real Sociedad.

In the No.308 minute, Yang Yang took advantage of a quick counterattack opportunity. After retreating to respond to the pass from the midfielder, he formed a two-to-one cooperation with De Bruyne who was behind him, and sent a direct pass. The Belgian midfielder broke into the right side of the penalty area and scored with a low shot, opening the scoring for Real Madrid.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, De Bruyne reciprocated and sent a scalpel-like precise direct pass, which tore through the defense of Real Sociedad. Yang Yang turned offside and successfully scored with a single-handed shot, expanding the score for Real Madrid.

No.80 In the second minute, Yang Yang and Danilo hit the wall in a counterattack. Di Maria made a pass from the right side of the penalty area. Morata, who came off the bench, scored a header and sealed the victory for Real Madrid, [-]-[-].

In the No.809 minute, Asensio, who was also on the bench, got rid of the defender and passed the ball. Isco made a diagonal pass from the right to the penalty area. Yang Yang easily ran out of space, scored with a low shot, and scored twice.

Four to zero!
In the end, with Yang Yang's brace, Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad [-]-[-] at home.

……

On the one hand, Real Madrid's state is picking up, and on the other hand, competitors have fallen behind one after another.

Sevilla, who ranked second in La Liga, challenged the Spaniard away in this round, and lost [-]-[-] away.

The Chinese player Wu Lei who played for the Espanyol performed very well and contributed two assists, which can be regarded as indirectly helping Yang Yang and Real Madrid, suppressing Sevilla and expanding the league's lead.

Barcelona, ​​which has been in good form recently, also showed fatigue. In the away game against Real Betis, it was not until the last moment of the game that Cristiano Ronaldo equalized the score.

In the end, Barcelona drew [-]-[-] away with Real Betis.

It is worth mentioning that the Spanish teenager Ceballos performed very well in this game and was elected as the player of the game. His outstanding performance in the midfield made people see his amazing potential among the young Spanish midfielders.

If it weren't for Real Betis' bad luck in this battle, hitting the goal post twice, it would be difficult for Barcelona to get away unscathed.

But this also made Ceballos famous, and the 20-year-old midfielder also once again entered Real Madrid's vision.

…………

…………

After finishing the No.20 round of La Liga, Real Madrid soon ushered in Alaves at home.

But on the first day of February, the team still held the first core high-level meeting of the new year in the new office of Valdebebas as usual. The main topic of discussion was the team's second half of the season and future summer transfers.

The FIFA ban only has one transfer window, and the winter break has already been banned, which is irrelevant to Real Madrid, but summer transfers are crucial, and Real Madrid needs to prepare in advance.

Many fans think that the transfer is a matter of the transfer window, but it is not.

Especially for a team like Real Madrid, heavy signings are often prepared half a year in advance, or even one or two years in advance.

Yang Yang and Zidane are the only two people in the first team who can attend the core high-level meeting. One of them is the number one star in the team, even higher than the captain Ramos, and also serves as the chief assistant coach.

But what is somewhat surprising is that the first topic of the meeting turned out to be the Spanish teenager Ceballos who had just helped Real Betis draw with Barcelona [-]-[-] at home. Florentino wanted to know whether the team might introduce him.

"Ceballos' release clause is only 500 million euros, which is not a problem for us at all, but the key now is that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid both want him, and we must do it as soon as possible." Valdano introduced the current situation.

Good players, especially excellent local players, will not be ignored by any giant team.

Because, whether it is La Liga or the Champions League, there are requirements for local players.

Real Madrid has been insisting on the strategy of promoting localization and internationalization over the years. On the one hand, it has introduced local young talents, such as Asensio, Isco, Illarramendi, etc., and on the other hand, it has not neglected the attention of outstanding European players.

"Ceballos has performed very well this season, especially this game against Barcelona, ​​which has made him famous. Not only the giants in Spain pay attention to him, but also the giants in Europe. We have many opponents."

Florentino nodded again and again, then turned to look at Zidane and Yang Yang with questioning eyes.

Everyone knows that if Real Madrid wants to sign, they must ask Yang Yang and Zidane to nod.

Of course, it doesn't mean that they can buy whoever they want, just like Pogba, Zidane wants to buy it very much, but the team has no consideration in this regard, and Zidane is very helpless about it.

But at the very least, when introducing players like Ceballos, the opinions of the two are still very important.

"Our team currently has no vacancies in this area. Many players have gathered in the midfield. De Bruyne has performed very well this season, and Isco has also improved significantly. This makes our midfield even a little bloated."

Zidane meant a somewhat polite refusal.

Florentino heard the meaning, "But he is only 20 years old, and David Silva and Modric are not young."

Everyone knows that this is a midfielder reserved for the future, and it is impossible to play the main force as soon as he comes.

It's like Asensio, who performed very well in other teams, and even won the best rookie in La Liga in the Spaniard, but when he came to Real Madrid, he could only be a substitute.

Yang Yang guessed in his heart that Zidane still wants to introduce Pogba. He is obsessed with his French compatriots, but Florentino also has obsessions with his own compatriots, and he seems to intend to recruit all the young Spanish players into the Bernabeu.

"Didn't Jorge say that just now? He is extremely important to Real Betis, but for us, he does not have a place for the time being, and certainly not in the short term, so I think it is better to simply buy it and lease it back to Real Betis, so that he can continue to play and grow in this team. In another year or two, he will become more mature and come to Real Madrid."

This can be regarded as a trick, which can not only sign Ceballos, but also prevent him from coming to the team prematurely.

As for one or two years later, it depends on how far Ceballos can develop. If he still can't meet the team's requirements, it is normal to sell it at that time.

In professional football, players are like commodities, it is normal to buy and sell them.

……

The first important topic of this high-level meeting is the second half.

The team defeated Celta Vigo and entered the semi-finals. Alaves couldn't stop Real Madrid. Seeing that the Copa del Rey is expected, the Real Madrid management naturally hopes that the team will continue to work hard and strive to win a championship first.

Both Yang Yang and Zidane also have thoughts on this, and both believe that the team should work hard to win the King's Cup.

For the next thing, Florentino still said that the team will fully support the first team, hoping that Yang Yang and Zidane can lead the team well and continue to make breakthroughs in La Liga and the Champions League.

"We have achieved the Grand Slam for three consecutive seasons, which is unique, and even in the history of Real Madrid, it has never been done before. If we can continue this brilliance this season, then we are undoubtedly making history."

But the club is not without crisis awareness. They have clearly realized that Real Madrid must start preparing for Yang Yang's successor. This is the most urgent and top priority for Real Madrid.

Who can succeed Yang Yang?

Looking at European football, at least there is no ready-made candidate.

Yang Yang did not comment on this, although the management did not directly say that they were looking for Yang Yang's successor, but only said that they wanted to introduce high-level young attackers, which was already obvious.

Yang Yang is [-], Suarez has just turned [-], and the two leading forwards are both over [-]. If the Real Madrid management is still indifferent to this, it is their dereliction of duty.

"At present, our technical team has also identified a lot of players, such as the Argentine striker Paulo Dybala who played for Juventus. He has played quite well in the past few seasons, and Salah who played for Roma. He is also a very good young scorer."

"Harry Kane, who is only 23 years old, is the hottest scorer in European football in recent seasons. He is very efficient. The league goals in the past two seasons were 21 and 25 respectively. This is not easy. This season is expected to reach a new high. I believe he will be a very good frontcourt scorer."

When he said this, Balderno glanced at Yang Yang intentionally or unintentionally, with a helpless wry smile in his eyes.

You know, Harry Kane's data is indeed quite good in European football, but if compared with the number one Real Madrid star in front of him, it really pales in comparison.

Yang Yang landed in the Premier League at the age of 19. He scored 25 goals and contributed 34 assists in the first season. In the second season, he scored [-] goals and [-] assists.

In the third season, when Yang Yang was 21 years old, he had scored 44 league goals and [-] assists in the Premier League, helping Liverpool win the unprecedented Premier League quadruple.

It can be said that Harry Kane's statistics are indeed dazzling, but compared to others, in front of Yang Yang, his achievements are really nothing.

Not to mention the data compared with Yang Yang's data after joining Real Madrid.

In Real Madrid, except Yang Yang only scored 43 goals in the first season, he scored more than [-] goals in every other season, and even surpassed [-] goals in the last few seasons.

Such a vacancy really cannot be filled casually.

This is why Yang Yang's successor is hard to find.
