Chapter 1489 Messi II
After playing Juventus, Real Madrid went to the away game to challenge Malaga non-stop.

Real Madrid beat Malaga [-]-[-] with goals from Isco and Casemiro at the Las Gardens.

With one pass and one shot, Isco was elected as the best player in the game.

Yang Yang was absent from the squad for the game again, along with Modric and Toni Kroos.

After beating Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus consecutively, Real Madrid is also very exhausted and needs a good rest.

In the same round of the league, Barcelona, ​​which had just suffered an away game against Roma, defeated Valencia [-]-[-] at the Nou Camp this time, scored three points again, and kept pace with Real Madrid.

…………

…………

Since Yang Yang, Modric, Toni Kroos and others did not enter the squad for the weekend competition, they all continued to train in Valdebebas. The training intensity was not high, and the atmosphere was good, talking and laughing.

After the training, Yang Yang made a special trip to the infirmary.

Professional players, who is not sick?
Yang Yang is full of minor injuries. It may be that he was accidentally scratched by a shoe spike in a certain game, or he was beaten in a fight with someone, or something else...

Over the years, he has been used to this kind of life with constant minor injuries, as long as it doesn't affect his playing games, it doesn't matter.

Not only him, but basically everyone else.

People who just watch the game live on TV without playing football in person will never understand how intense football is. It can be said that injuries are common.

Real Madrid's Valdebebas has the best medical equipment in Europe. Carlos Dias, the head of the team's medical team, followed the team to the away game. Only the team doctor on duty and a loan player who returned from the Eredivisie team were left in the training base.

"Hey, Martin." Yang Yang recognized him as soon as he entered.

Martin Erdegaard looked up and was obviously flattered to see Yang Yang greeting him, "Hey, hello, Yang."

It was obvious that seeing Yang Yang made him very nervous.

Yang Yang didn't pay too much attention to his performance, and his attention naturally fell to his injured left foot, which was tightly wrapped in bandages, and it looked like it had been fixed in a plaster cast, tied like a rice dumpling.

"What's going on?" Yang Yang frowned and asked with concern.

In Real Madrid, even if a young player from the youth training team is injured, as long as he knows him, Yang Yang will ask with concern. If he can help, he will help him without hesitation, not to mention that Erdegaard has trained and played in the first team.

"I kicked against the defensive player, but I didn't kick the ball. Instead, I was kicked by the opponent to the metatarsal bone and fractured." Erdegaard's face was full of words of loss. It seems that this injury still hit him hard.

The metatarsal bone is located on the inside of the foot. It is very common for professional players to injure this part, but fractures are more serious.

"Is it important?" Yang Yang asked with concern, but his eyes were not on Erdegaard, but on Real Madrid's team doctor.

"He had received a detailed examination and diagnosis when he was in the Netherlands, but we still brought him back to Madrid. He went to the hospital for an examination and was diagnosed with a fracture. He will definitely not be able to play this season, but if he recovers well, it will not be a serious problem."

Yang Yang laughed when he heard this, and turned around and patted Erdegaard on the shoulder, "It's fine. During the recuperation period, treat yourself as a vacation, take a good rest, and then you can play again after the injury is healed."

Erdegaard forced a smile after hearing this, and thanked Yang Yang for comforting him, but his young and immature face was full of loss and worry. It could be seen that he was worried about his future.

It's not that Yang Yang doesn't know his situation, but he can do very little.

Not to mention that he is just an assistant coach of the first team, even if he is the technical director, he has to consider the interests of the team.

Odegaard's annual salary is too high. In order to recruit him, Real Madrid gave him a high salary. They have indeed tried their best to train him and give him opportunities over the years. For example, Odegaard will participate in the pre-season training of Real Madrid's first team almost every season, and Real Madrid has special personnel to follow his games and training.

To some extent, Real Madrid really attaches great importance to him.

But sometimes young players are like this. The huge pressure and attention brought by premature fame may be transformed into resistance for young players to continue to grow. Therefore, it is understandable that Erdegaard's mentality is out of balance for a certain period of time.

As for his performance in the second team and Heerenveen, it cannot be said to be too bad, it can only be said that he has not met the expectations of the outside world and Real Madrid.

You know, Real Madrid wants him to become a top player in Europe, but he has not shown convincing performance at the age of 19, and at his age, many signs should be revealed.

If Real Madrid finally chooses to sell him considering his annual salary and future development expectations, it is understandable.

After all, running a professional club is not an act of kindness. Erdegaux also chose Real Madrid out of self-interest considerations. At best, it can only be said that the two sides made a lose-lose deal.

As for the future, who knows?

……

"Frankly speaking, I watched your game in Heerenveen." Yang Yang saw that he was depressed, and explained with a smile.

"Really?" Erdegaard was a little surprised.

Yang Yang nodded, but he didn't tell the other party frankly that he went to watch it because of Ajax, not because of Odegaard. After all, his starting point was to inspire this young player.

When he saw Odegaard's happy expression, he couldn't tell the truth anymore.

"I think the coaching staff of Heerenveen didn't make good use of you."

"why?"

"I personally think that your most suitable position should not be the winger in the frontcourt. Your speed is not fast enough. Although you have the ability and skills to pass the opponent, but on the wing and lack of speed advantage, it is difficult for you to get rid of the opponent. So you can pass, but you are quickly caught up."

Erdegaard nodded again and again, he was indeed in such a situation.

"Heerenveen's coaching staff means that they want me to control the ball and rhythm on the wing."

Yang Yang understands this kind of thinking, to put it simply, he is the front waist.

Isco also lacks speed, but this does not prevent him from playing wide, so the key question is not where Erdegaard appears, but whether the team's entire tactics are suitable for him as a right winger.

"You can indeed get the ball, control the rhythm, and pass the ball, but the problem is that Heerenveen lacks such a tactical environment. In the past few years, this team has been more defensive. It tends to counterattack quickly and put you on the winger position, but lacks speed and impact. This is very problematic in itself."

Seeing Erdegaard's thoughtful expression, Yang Yang changed the topic immediately, "Of course, you can't completely blame them, because from your debut to now, you have always been an attacker in the frontcourt, and they just continued this way of thinking."

Odegaard somewhat agreed with Yang Yang's analysis, and he also felt that it was indeed as Yang Yang said that he played very awkwardly in Heerenveen, but he couldn't find the crux of the problem.

In the past, he was still young, his body was not yet formed, he was still relatively flexible at that time, and his foot skills were very delicate, so many people thought he was like Messi and gave him the title of Messi II. Later, he joined Real Madrid, and some people said that he was Yang Yang’s successor. Even now, many people still think that he is suitable for the right winger.

why?
Because Messi also plays right winger with his left foot.

This seems to be a trend.

"Your skills at the feet are very good, with good sense of the ball and good vision. I think you should consider developing in the middle of the midfield, especially when you stop the ball and get rid of the ball and advance with the ball. The tactical threat in the middle will be very great. If you can pass the ball again, you will definitely usher in a broader space for development."

What Yang Yang said made Erdegaard a little moved.

He has been in the first team of Real Madrid and also in the youth team, so he knows the legend of Yang Yang in the Real Madrid team very well.

Almost all the players who were favored by Yang Yang have basically performed well. Many people have also made rapid progress under Yang Yang's guidance, such as Isco and Asensio, who have made rapid progress in the Real Madrid first team.

Before, Erdegaard didn't have much contact with Yang Yang, but now, he really benefited a lot from hearing Yang Yang's words.

"During this period of recuperation, the left foot must not be able to move, so let's practice your right foot by the way!" Yang Yang smiled and encouraged Erdgaard, and patted him on the shoulder, which made the Norwegian teenager rekindle hope while being flattered.

Even Yang Yang is optimistic about him, what else is there for him to be disappointed?
"Injury is a challenge as well as an opportunity. For us professional players, the most important thing is your own strength. As long as you are strong enough, no matter which team you join in the future, you will be in the bag, and you will emerge sooner or later." Yang Yang further encouraged him.

Erdegaard no longer had doubts at all, he summoned up his courage, and nodded heavily.

……

It wasn't until the Norwegian Messi was sent away that Yang Yang looked away and turned to look at the smiling team doctor behind him.

"You can really talk. He has two completely different faces when he comes in and when he goes out." The team doctor laughed.

Yang Yang shrugged, "I'm not lying, I really think that he still has great potential, but he didn't find the right way before, and wasted nearly two years in Heerenveen."

The team doctor nodded in confidence, "But it can't change his situation."

Yang Yang is silent, the team doctor is right. Real Madrid's technical team must have been evaluating Erdegaard's prospects. If there is a suitable offer, Real Madrid will probably sell him directly.

The most is to sign a redemption clause in case he performs well in the future so that Real Madrid can buy it back.

With Erdegaard now, it is basically impossible to stay in Real Madrid.

In this regard, Yang Yang has no choice but to wish him good luck.
