Chapter 782 The Tenth Champions League Beckons Ahead!

Juan's House Barbecue Restaurant is a barbecue restaurant located in the southwest of the Gate of Europe on Castilla Avenue in Madrid.

Away from the main road, in a remote alley, it looks inconspicuous, but it is the most famous restaurant in Madrid.

The current king of Spain, Juan Carlos I, likes to come here to taste the restaurant's most famous steak. This historic barbecue restaurant is also the place where political and business celebrities in Madrid most often visit, and it is also a gathering place for Real Madrid stars.

But in the afternoon of that day, Juan's House Barbecue Restaurant completely closed the entire second floor of the restaurant, and hung a sign that the second floor was full on the stairs, which was obviously reserved in advance.

When night fell, luxury cars began to drive into the street from Castilla Avenue, and were parked in the parking spaces on both sides of the street under the maintenance of order by the on-site security personnel.

Real Madrid's first-team players wore casual clothes, got out of the car one after another, and went straight into the barbecue restaurant.

Whether it is passers-by in the streets or customers dining in restaurants, they seem to be accustomed to such scenes.

It was only later that Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and others arrived at the same time, which aroused the movement of passers-by and customers a little bit, and even a few people came forward to say hello, hoping to take photos and sign autographs.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that this place was reserved by Real Madrid stars.

……

On the first day Yang Yang came to Valdebebas, when Raul took him to adapt to the training base and familiarize himself with the locker room, he once pointed to a blackboard at the entrance of the locker room to introduce its purpose.

It is said that this blackboard has continued since the team was still in the old sports city.

Every time the team has any team activities, it will be written on a sticky note and posted on this blackboard, so that everyone who enters the locker room can easily see it.

Then the team went to Dublin, and then successively traveled to many countries in North America and Europe. Until these two days, they returned to Madrid. After playing the Bernabéu Cup, the new season will start soon. Yang Yang suddenly remembered this blackboard.

So, just this morning, he posted his first note after joining Real Madrid on the blackboard.

"After the training session this afternoon, we invite everyone to a dinner party. The venue is: Juan's House Barbecue Restaurant, Yangyang."

Throughout the day, the players and coaching staff saw the note, but no one said anything or discussed it.

But after the training session, they all spontaneously came to Juan's House Barbecue Restaurant.

This was Yang Yang’s first dinner party after he joined Real Madrid, including the captain Raul and Guti, as well as the newly joined players. All the members of the coaching staff also came without exception. Only Benitez, who has always been indifferent to others, was absent, but he explained to Yang Yang after the training session.

He is concentrating on preparing for the game against Deportivo and really has no time.

It's certainly an interesting tradition.

Yang Yang reserved the entire VIP room on the second floor for the entertainment of Real Madrid players and coaching staff. At the same time, he also prepared special dishes from Juan's House Barbecue Restaurant, including their most famous steak, which is also the favorite of the King of Spain.

Everyone didn't ask Yang Yang why he wanted to treat guests. When they came, they sat in groups around the square table and ate the dishes as soon as they were served. As the captain of the team, Raul was also a regular customer of this barbecue restaurant, and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of greeting his teammates.

Wine is definitely not to be drunk, but meat can be eaten more.

After the team's summer training camp, everyone began to live a life like an ascetic monk. Now it is hard to get through the summer training period. The new season is about to start. It is definitely not daring to relax, but it is not a problem to relax occasionally.

This is why the coaching staff allows the team to have dinner together.

Take it as a boost of morale for the new season.

The reason Yang Yang asked for was also very legitimate. He thanked Raul and others for their help, as well as the support of his teammates. After he returned to Madrid, he officially moved into his new home, and just as the new season was about to start, he invited everyone to have a meal. He hoped that everyone could fight side by side in the new season and make persistent efforts.

Chatting while eating, the scene was very lively, and the meal was very enjoyable.

Yang Yang himself is also very satisfied, because he has been working hard to get close to local factions such as Raul, Guti, Casillas and Ramos, and he does not want the split in the dressing room of Real Madrid similar to that of Ajax.

Raul and others had a very good impression of him, especially Raul. As the captain of the team, he also contributed a lot to the renovation of Yang Yang's new home.

……

The topic gradually shifted to the new season.

Many players are beginning to look forward to the new season's games. Many people believe that Real Madrid can challenge Barcelona's supremacy this season and hope to make a breakthrough in La Liga.

As for the UEFA Champions League, everyone's greatest hope is to break through from the top sixteen.

For a giant team like Real Madrid, the Champions League is full of unpredictability, but La Liga is easier to grasp, because in La Liga, the only team that can really challenge Real Madrid is Barcelona.

However, according to the La Liga schedule for the new season, Real Madrid dare not be careless.

"Affected by the World Cup in South Africa in [-], this season's La Liga schedule will be greatly compressed, and the competition will become more compact. Moreover, the opponents in the first two rounds are not weak. They will play against Deportivo at home and Espanyol away. These two teams are tough."

Super Depor, once led by Irueta, swept the limelight of the entire European football team. Although it has declined a lot in the past few years, the strength of this team is still good. The Riazor Stadium is still the home of the famous devil in Europe.

What's interesting is that in the first round of the league last season, Real Madrid also played against Deportivo, but that time it was an away game, and they lost [-]-[-]. In the first round of this season, they faced Deportivo again.

The second round was against the Spaniards.

This Catalan team is Barcelona's rival in the same city, but don't think that the enemy of the enemy will become a comrade-in-arms. Wrong, the Spaniards have always been tough, whether they are playing against Barcelona or Real Madrid.

It should be relatively easy to play against Jerez in the third round and Tenerife in the fifth round, but it will still be troublesome to play away against Villarreal in the fourth round and Sevilla in the sixth round.

It is worth mentioning that, as the highlight of La Liga every season, the first round of the century war between Real Madrid and Barcelona is at the Nou Camp on November 29, which happens to be the 110th anniversary of the birth of Barcelona.

This will be a showdown that changes the trend of La Liga!

……

"The chairman of Deportivo Londoiro has publicly declared a war, threatening to defeat us again at the Bernabeu, and give us another painful blow not inferior to the centenary celebration." Raul said unwillingly.

Yang Yang couldn't help frowning after hearing this.

Real Madrid's centenary celebration is a shame, because the Copa del Rey final was held at the Bernabéu Stadium. As a result, the star-studded Real Madrid led by Del Bosque lost [-]-[-] to Deportivo Deportivo at their home court.

Some people even think that it was the loss of that game that Florentino finally sentenced Bosque to death, so that after the end of the season, even though Bosque led the team to win the championship, he still dismissed get out of class.

Rendoiro brought up the centenary celebration again at this time, obviously wanting to use an excuse to humiliate Real Madrid and at the same time hit Real Madrid's morale.

That time was the centennial celebration, and this time was the first time the Galacticos set sail after the reorganization of the second phase. If they lost to Deportivo at their own home court, it would be really bad.

"Don't worry, today is different from the past, and now we will not easily give La Coruña the slightest chance." Yang Yang smiled confidently after thinking for a while.

Raul looked deeply at Yang Yang, and nodded in agreement, "There is also the Champions League, which is what we need to pay attention to this season, especially the next draw, which is very unfavorable to us."

Due to the poor record in the past few years, Real Madrid completely lost the seat of the seeded team and was reduced to the second tier team.

The eight seeded teams this season are Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Barcelona and Sevilla, and apart from Barcelona and Sevilla in the same country, Real Madrid will definitely draw one of the first six teams.

And the third tier also has strong teams like Marseille, Atletico Madrid, and Fiorentina, and the fourth tier also has four major league teams like Wolfsburg. It is not impossible to have a death group.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Real Madrid is also under great pressure in the Champions League.

Yang Yang is well aware of the team's situation, but he believes even more, that is...

"I think it's not us who should be the most troublesome, but those seeded teams. They definitely don't want to meet us. Whoever touches us will be unlucky. It doesn't matter if it's the Premier League, Serie A or Bundesliga. As long as we play well, it's the same with everyone."

Yang Yang spoke with full confidence and reasonableness.

With Real Madrid's investment this summer, coupled with Yang Yang's reputation, it is definitely a joke to say that the team is afraid of who they will meet.

No, in two days, the draw ceremony will be held at the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco. Although it has not yet started, everyone already knows that Yang Yang will definitely become the number one winner of this grand event. It is inevitable that he will win the two most valuable awards, because he led Liverpool to win the quadruple championship last season.

But now, the No.1 in world football has come to Real Madrid, coupled with the addition of Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Robben and other powerful stars, the overall strength of Real Madrid is no longer the same.

"All of you don't forget, our coach Benitez has a nickname, King of Cups!"

Everyone thought after hearing it, didn't they?

Under the coaching of Benitez, Liverpool has won three Champions Leagues in the past five years, and won four championships last season. Who else can compare with such achievements?
"I have a hunch that the tenth Champions League is not far ahead, and is waving towards us enthusiastically." Yang Yang laughed.
