Chapter 951 Being taught a lesson by Yang Yang

Sunday, July [-]th, is a holiday, but for Ancelotti and his team, it is the beginning of a busy season.

According to Real Madrid's plan, the team will gather on the morning of the [-]th, then set off to the airport collectively, fly to Los Angeles, USA for training, and play three warm-up matches in the United States, then return to Europe, and then head to Asia.

During the period in the United States, Real Madrid will conduct a two-week pre-season training. Except for the Brazil and Argentina internationals who participated in the Copa America, all other international players will participate. This will be the best time for coach Ancelotti to familiarize himself with the team after taking office.

Real Madrid is a club with a very mature and stable internal structure. After the plan is released, there will naturally be staff from various departments to follow up and cooperate, including contacting hotels, training venues, warm-up match opponents, etc.

Ancelotti and his team have only one thing to worry about, and that is training and games.

Starting on the [-]th, on the morning of the [-]th, Ancelotti's team officially started working.

After careful selection, Ancelotti's coaching team for the new season will reach 17 people, a little more than Benitez's team before, mainly three physical coaches and two nutritionists, and a team doctor has been added at the same time.

Joaquin Mas, majored in medicine and surgery at the University of Valencia in Spain, and later went to the University of Barcelona to study sports medicine and physical function education. He started working in Levante in [-] as a team doctor and moved to Valencia in [-]. Ancelotti mainly focused on his medical rehabilitation level.

Originally, the Italians hoped to invite Winston Bogarde through Yang Yang. The Dutchman has been famous in European football for a while and has his own uniqueness in sports rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

During Ancelotti's coaching period at AC Milan, the most impressive thing was his reuse of a group of veterans. Veterans such as Maldini and Costacurta maintained their state quite well. Now, Real Madrid's players in their thirties are increasing. Ancelotti's poaching of Joaquin Mars is probably also considered in this regard.

Carlos Dias is still the head of the Real Madrid team's medical department, taking full charge of medical affairs within the team.

In addition to the chief assistant coach Zida, Ancelotti’s other assistant coach is the British Paul Clement. This is Ancelotti’s assistant coach at Chelsea.

And goalkeeping coach William Veitch, who is also a man of wonder.

The 60-year-old Italian goalkeeper coach has followed Ancelotti for a long time, and has worked in Parma, Juventus, AC Milan and Chelsea. He has trained two world-class goalkeepers Buffon and Dida. During Chelsea, he also gave Cech a lot of help, allowing the Czech to get rid of injuries and return to the top of the world.

In addition, fitness coach Giovanni Mauri and nutritionist Abaldi needless to say, are well-known experts in European football who have followed Ancelotti for many years.

It can be said that Ancelotti's entire team is full of talents and strength.

……

At 09:30 in the morning, Ancelotti and his team came to Valdebebas for the first time.

The huge training base was empty, without any sound or movement. Neither the first team nor the youth team next door had started training yet, so naturally there would be no one there.

But just as Ancelotti led the crowd out of the parking lot and went to the first-team training center, just after turning a corner, he saw a player in a black training uniform training alone on a training field directly opposite the training center.

The temperature in Madrid in mid-July is very high. Although it is more than nine o'clock in the morning, it is already close to [-] degrees outside.

The man on the training field seemed not to be affected by the scorching sun at all. He quickly dribbled the ball across the sign boards on the court and carried out some relatively basic training items. Obviously, he was also adjusting his physical condition and competitive state after the vacation.

What was exposed outside the vest and shorts was the bulging muscle lines, and his skin was slightly dark. Obviously, this was not the first day he had insisted on this kind of training, and watching him sweat profusely on the training ground, but focused like no one else, was really admirable.

"Yang Yang!" Ancelotti recognized the man on the training ground at a glance.

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard it, and they all looked carefully. Isn't it Yang Yang?
Is this No.1 in world football?
"Oh my god, does he train himself like this every preseason camp?" someone on the team asked.

At this time, Zidane's voice suddenly came from the side.

"No, it's not just pre-season training, he trains himself like this almost every day."

The French celebrity walked towards them slowly with a kind smile.

"Every day?" Everyone was surprised again.

Zidane nodded, "From Ajax to Liverpool to Real Madrid, as far as I know, he does it every day."

Including Ancelotti, everyone was speechless.

What kind of person must be able to be so focused and self-disciplined?

You know, it's not time for the training camp yet, even if it's on a normal training day, it's just started training now, but Yang Yang has obviously been here for an hour or two, does he practice like this every day?
Everyone couldn't help thinking of the previous media reports that Yang Yang practiced for an extra hour every morning, all year round, rain or shine.

"He has always believed that he has no extraordinary talent, so he can only work hard every day to ensure that he will not be surpassed by others." When Zidane said this, his eyes showed admiration, even admiration.

Sometimes he really felt that even a person with ordinary talent would definitely become an outstanding player if he could practice hard like Yang Yang for many years.

What's more, he doesn't think Yang Yang's talent is mediocre.

In the eyes of many media and fans, what players strive for is talent, but they don't know that Zidane, who is regarded as a top talent in their eyes, knows better than anyone that hard training is the basis for a player's success, no matter what his talent is.

An unborn genius like Ronaldo did not have years of hard training, and his peak period did not last long in the end. As for the excessive injuries, these are the results, not the reasons.

Ancelotti had heard a lot of news and reports about Yang Yang before, but he would never have imagined that he would be taught such a vivid lesson by Yang Yang on the first day he came to Real Madrid.

He is now beginning to understand what Benitez once said, if he has a player like Yang Yang, if he can't use it well, it must be the responsibility of the head coach, and it cannot be shirked!
That's right, if a head coach can't use players like Yang Yang well, then he has no qualifications to coach this team!

In the coaching staff, there are those who are surprised, those who are lucky, those who admire, and those who are in awe.

…………

…………

Under Zidane's greeting, Ancelotti and others went directly into the training center.

On the training ground, Yang Yang quickly finished his morning training.

He came to Valdebebas for training the day after Ancelotti's press conference because he felt that he was overweight and he wanted to recover as soon as possible and adjust his state in preparation for the summer training camp.

In the new season, Real Madrid will continue to compete in the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup. Among them, the opponent of the Spanish Super Cup is Barcelona. That is to say, Real Madrid's opponent in the first two games of the new season is Barcelona.

We missed the league championship last season. If we can get rid of Barcelona from the beginning of this season and win the Super Cup, it will undoubtedly give a good start to the new season, and the team will become more morale and fighting spirit.

Today's Real Madrid can be said to be strong and talented.

Not to mention anything else, the two newly introduced midfielders Modric and Herrera, the former is the core main force of the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur, the latter is also the main midfielder of the La Liga team Zaragoza, and not long ago helped Spain win the European Youth Championship in Denmark.

It can be said that if these two players did not come to Real Madrid, if they went to any other team, they would definitely be reused, even at the core main level, especially Modric, but when they came to Real Madrid, Modric had to accept competition in the new season, competing with opponents like Xavi Alonso, David Silva and Kaka.

In addition to the midfield, the same is true for the frontcourt. For example, Di Maria is the absolute main force in other teams. The defense also has powerful substitutes such as Vermaelen, Arbeloa, and Maxwell.

Real Madrid's current lineup is more prosperous and stronger than last season. If the team is well-polished, it is fully capable of advancing on multiple fronts.

Yang Yang is eager to get back to his form. Another very important reason is that the World Cup qualifiers in Asia will start at the end of July. China's first opponent is Laos. The strength is indeed very different, but this is Queiroz's first big test after coaching.

The previous Asian Cup did not recruit overseas international players. Many players including Yang Yang did not return to China. They were mainly young players and substitute players. In the end, they failed to achieve three consecutive Asian Cup championships. However, the national team has emerged. A group of good young players will effectively supplement the current national team.

Yang Yang will follow Real Madrid to the United States for training, and then fly directly from the United States to China to play the World Cup qualifiers, and then join Real Madrid in China and play two warm-up matches in China.

This is also the first time Yang Yang has followed the club to China since his career, and Real Madrid is also aiming to develop the Asian market. There are Chinese superstars like Yang Yang in the team, and they also attach great importance to this trip to China.

After the trip to China, Real Madrid returned to Europe to make some adjustments, and then ushered in the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup.
