Super Coach

This afternoon, after the La Liga giants Barcelona arrived in Houston, they immediately started their first training session. Many players rushed to the scene to watch the training, but what people didn't expect was that this group of players was at the training ground. It was a funny big own goal, because in the end, they discovered that they were supporting the wrong team!

In a five-star hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, the Real Madrid players who had finished their first training session after arriving in Salt Lake City were waiting for the tactical meeting to be held. They were watching TV in their free time and discovered that it happened to be Reporting on this interesting incident that happened in Houston this afternoon.

According to the reporter's interview, this group of football players came to the scene to support Real Madrid led by Caesar Yang Cheng. However, they mistakenly thought that it was Real Madrid who came to Houston, so they pulled up banners and came to the training ground. outside!

The TV camera also specially gave some close-ups of the football team's banner, which said [Caesar? Yang Cheng], and then the camera focused on the football team, and many of them were shouting [Caesar! Caesar! ], there were not many people there, probably only a dozen or so, but they attracted many passers-by’s glances.

Barcelona understands this behavior of the American players. The team's head coach Rijkaard said that he believes that this group of players was unintentional, and he does not think this will have any impact on Barcelona's preparations!

But it is not difficult for us to find out from this incident that Barcelona, ​​which has received support from countless football fans in Mexico, and Marcos in the team has caused a great response in Mexico, failed at all after entering the United States. continuing their huge popularity in Mexico.”

This team has top stars Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Xavi, Puyol and others. It can be said to be one of the most popular teams in the world and one of the few teams currently in the United States. The most respected team in Europe, but obviously, all these combined cannot compare to Real Madrid’s Caesar!”

According to data provided by the organizers of the current warm-up match in Seattle, 90,000 tickets for the warm-up match between Real Madrid and Washington United, the current leader of the Eastern Conference, have been sold out. This is almost the same in American football. It’s a magical record, almost impossible!”

The organizers even said helplessly that if it were not limited by the stadium, it is estimated that the tickets could be sold more. Among the players who have ordered tickets for the game, there are many such as Lakers star Kobe Bryant, Hollywood super beauty Super stars such as Charlize Theron and America’s sweetheart Jennifer Aniston will all be in the stands on the day of the game.”

But contrary to its strong popularity, Real Madrid deliberately prepared in a low-key manner after arriving in Salt Lake City. Head coach Yang Cheng even announced that he refused all interviews. He made it clear that he came to the United States not to do a show or to make money, but to make money. It’s for warm-up and competition training, and to him, the United States is just another Austria.”

Looking at Barcelona,

A series of business operations, Rijkaard even had to take the team around to participate in activities. Barcelona's marketing and commercial director Esteve Calzad said that the income of Barcelona's US trip this time will be higher than the last time. 4 times. It can be seen that although they are not popular among the players, they still gain a lot.

In addition to football, United Nations Secretary-General Annan has previously revealed that the United Nations intends to invite Yang Cheng, George Clooney, Charlize Theron and other celebrities from all walks of life to serve as peace ambassadors. Among them, Annan highlighted the Kaifa founded by Yang Cheng The Satellite Foundation has been committed to helping improve children's education and medical facilities in some backward areas over the years, and its contribution has been very significant and should become a model for all celebrities.

After the news was broadcast on TV, it could be seen that some Real Madrid players in the hotel conference hall began to talk about it, especially some younger boys. They all felt excited after hearing the news. , because it is their head coach who is highly praised on TV.

Some other veterans, such as Raul, Beckham and Cannavaro, have some thoughts in their minds, especially Beckham. He used to be the most dazzling star in the team, but since Yang Cheng came After that, his glory was taken away, which made him somewhat disappointed.

But everyone is also very clear that Real Madrid paid a lot of money to invite Yang Cheng to the Bernabeu and gave him such a heavy power, which showed absolute trust. They had to obey or leave. There was no third way.

From now on, there can only be one superstar in Real Madrid, and that is Yang Cheng!

While the players were thinking, Yang Cheng opened the door of the conference room and saw Marcelo hurriedly pressing the remote control, turning off the TV, and sitting seriously.

There's no need to be so nervous! Yang Cheng shook his head with a smile, walked over, and when he passed behind Marcelo, he patted his shoulder kindly, I'm not the kind of unreasonable tyrant. Occasionally, It’s okay to relax, but it doesn’t affect training and competition.”

The originally tense atmosphere suddenly became lively, and Marcelo also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since taking charge of Real Madrid, Yang Cheng has held a meeting almost every two or three days to make a summary, especially for the problems exposed during training. He must take advantage of the training period to solve these problems, otherwise , once the league starts, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to have free time to deal with it.

I want to say that I am very satisfied with everyone's performance in the past period!

Yang Cheng sat at the top of the conference room and looked at the group of players below, But I hope you all can understand that a team's strength cannot be achieved in a short time. I know that some of you A lot of people are anxious to prove that we don't lose to Barcelona.

After arriving in the United States, Yang Cheng could see this sentiment, but it definitely could not help the rise.

Yang Cheng has learned his lesson, so he knows that after coming to Real Madrid, all the previous successes will not bring him any help. He has to start from scratch, so he always maintains a low profile and hard work. .

So does Real Madrid!

Their lineup has been playing together for at least three years. Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta and others have been playing together for even longer. But what about us? Most of them have just started to cooperate, and we The team is still very young and we have to adjust our mentality.

Why did Galacticos still lose when they met Barcelona in the second phase of the previous life?

It’s the mentality!

I can even say this to everyone. In the new season strategy I formulated with my assistant team, and in my conversations with President Florentino, I repeatedly emphasized that the most important thing in the first season is not To win the championship, it’s about establishing a stable lineup and tactical system.”

According to my current plan, it will take at least half a year for the team to run in well. Therefore, I hope everyone will not put so much pressure on themselves. You must understand one thing. Just trust me. I will handle other matters. Let’s take care of it, okay?”

The players nodded one by one.

Real Madrid currently has a lot of problems. The defense seems to be good, but in fact, the teams they encounter are not strong teams, so it is difficult to say that Real Madrid’s defensive system is stable and solid. Arbeloa and Cannavaro are He cooperates well with Thuram, but Ramos still has many problems between offense and defense, and his defense is very rough and needs a long period of beating.

The double midfielders Xavi Alonso and Mascherano also need time to establish a tacit understanding. Raul and Villa, David Silva and Beckham on the right also need time.

Especially for Beckham, his contract renewal is also a problem, because in Yang Cheng's previous life, he moved to the United States on a free transfer after this season, so as soon as Yang Cheng took office, he focused on Beckham. of contract renewal.

…………

…………

David!

As the players were leaving the conference hall one after another, Yang Cheng stopped Beckham who was about to leave, Can we talk?

Beckham nodded, waited until his teammates had left, closed the door of the conference room, and walked back.

The recent contract renewal negotiations with the club have not gone very smoothly. I want to know the reason!

Beckham didn't expect Yang Cheng to be so straightforward and laughed, I'll leave it all to my agent.

What about yourself? Yang Cheng asked, Do you want to stay at Real Madrid? Or do you want to leave?

I don't know! Beckham shook his head, a little confused.

Yang Cheng nodded, If you have anything to ask me, you can ask it now, any question!

Beckham looked at the head coach who was only a few years older than him, hesitated for a moment, and asked: Is it your idea to renew my contract, or is it the club's idea?

There is a difference, because there have been rumors from the outside world that after Yang Cheng came to power, he began to clean up the residual poison of the previous superstars and began to transform the team. Beckham's previous performance in Real Madrid was indeed unsatisfactory because he was replaced Most of them are placed in the midfielder position, but he lacks a suitable partner next to him.

Playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid, even players like Pablo Garcia and Xavi Alonso can't hold up, let alone Beckham, who became a monk halfway.

If the contract renewal is Yang Cheng's idea, then there is no intention of letting Beckham confirm his main position, but if it is a club, it is more out of business development needs, because although Beckham is not as good as Yang Cheng, But he is still the most commercial player on the planet.

No, before the team arrived in the United States, the club's commercial department had already signed a sponsorship contract with Motorola, with a total value of up to 12 million euros in three years. This is definitely a huge sponsorship income.

It's me! Yang Cheng said with certainty without much hesitation, Although I have said before that your best position is in the middle, but now there is Xavi Alonso in the midfielder position, and I need you to go there. Play on the right, and I think your running and passing will be an indispensable weapon for the team.

Of course, this is temporary. I can't guarantee what will happen in the future, but I can at least guarantee that in the next season, you will get ample opportunities to prove your strength!

Beckham didn't speak, just listened quietly.

I know that you have joined Real Madrid for three years. In the past three years, you have been accused by countless people of being the culprit of Real Madrid's decline. They think that your arrival has broken the tactical balance of Real Madrid. You really want to change everything. , and you also hope to prove yourself with a championship in Real Madrid.

Yang Cheng also knows many things that others and even reporters don't know. For example, Beckham turned down many activities arranged for him by the Ministry of Commerce and even turned down several advertising contracts just to participate in the team's pre-season. In order to prepare for war, Sanchez, the director of the Ministry of Commerce, was furious and complained to Florentino.

But there is no doubt that Florentino now trusts Yang Cheng, so he suppressed all this.

Because of this, Beckham was overtaken by Ronaldinho in the latest player commercial value rankings selected by the German authoritative organization. Many people thought that Beckham was dying, but in fact it was him who took the initiative to reject him. of.

Yang Cheng stood up from his seat and smiled, Once, that old guy Ferguson laughed at me and said that I didn't look like a head coach at all, because no head coach would accept so many advertisements and pass the ball. There are so many scandals, but I answered him that all the things I do are done outside of my duties as a footballer!

Almost every day, when I stand in front of the mirror in the dressing room, I remind myself that I am a head coach, and then the rest! At this point, Yang Cheng happened to come to Beckham's side, And you?

Beckham didn't say anything. At his age and level, he would not express anything easily because he had a team behind him to help him operate.

The biggest difference between Yang Cheng and Beckham is that Yang Cheng clearly separates football and business. He has the final say on football matters. He even doesn’t have an agent. But on business matters, he generally doesn’t. Go ahead and take care of it.

I hope you think about it carefully. Before making any decision, ask yourself, what is your first career? A player? A star?

After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he walked out of the conference room, leaving Beckham to sit alone, leaning on the back of the chair, looking up at the ceiling in a daze, but his thoughts had already flown far away, to England.

When the new coach came to power, Beckham resigned as captain and was not selected for the new England national team. He was only 31 years old, but he was already regarded by many people in England as a stumbling block to the team and was unable to provide the team with any strong support. help.

The same goes for Real Madrid, where he was also a favorite to be purged in the summer. But in the end, many people left, but Beckham stayed.

Yang Cheng is very clear that if he cannot sign a contract extension at the beginning of the season, he will consider the club management's proposal to directly send Beckham into the transfer market and let him leave before the transfer market closes. Because the English have no shortage of buyers, regardless of the value, it would be better than letting him leave on a free transfer in the future.

But he still wants to fight for it, because he really feels that with all the major clubs currently cutting back on their money and Liverpool unwilling to let go of Ronaldinho, Robben, Ribery and others, it will be difficult for them to transfer money. There is a better right midfielder on the market than Beckham.

Of course, David Silva, Mata and Granero can all play. Granero performed well in the warm-up match, but it is not a good thing that the team is too young. Arsenal in the previous life have used them again and again. Facts have proved that it is difficult to win a championship with a group of children!

So he kept Raul and Guti, and introduced Cannavaro and Thuram. In addition to asking them to provide some experience and learning objects for the players who joined the new team, it was to make the overall configuration of the team better. More reasonable.

Of course, if Beckham really wants to leave, Yang Cheng will not forcefully stay!

Whether Yang Cheng is renewing his contract or in the transfer market, he pursues an attitude of not asking for help!

He never believed that any player was irreplaceable, so Fabregas said he didn't want to join Real Madrid, but Yang Cheng didn't even mention it, because he didn't need to use his warm face to stick to someone else's cold butt. And Cesc Fabregas is not that desperate.

But this time, Beckham was obviously touched by some of Yang Cheng's words.

Before the training session the next day, Beckham came to the training ground in advance and chatted with Yang Cheng for a while. He mentioned that he hoped to restart contract renewal negotiations with the club and expressed his hope to continue to stay in the team. , fight for the championship for Real Madrid.

Yang Cheng also contacted Florentino directly after the training. The latter also mentioned on the phone that the club proposed a contract of 8.5 million euros for Beckham this time. Although the contract with Yang Cheng There is still a slight gap, but this is already the extreme price among players.

At the same time, the club also announced a list of numbers drawn up by Yang Cheng after discussions with the players.

The most eye-catching thing is the No. 5 jersey left by Zidane. Yang Cheng gave it to Cannavaro. This also proves the status of the Italian national team captain in Real Madrid, but Raul is still the team's 7 No. 1 and captain, Guti also continued his 14th career.

The No. 9, which symbolizes the number of the main forward, was given to Villa by Yang Cheng, which shows that he attaches great importance to the Spanish main forward. The No. 10 jersey, which symbolizes the core of the team, was given to Xavi by Yang Cheng. ?Alonso and Aguero took over the No. 11 jersey left by Irving.

Ramos got the No. 4 jersey, Arbeloa wore the No. 15, De La Red got the No. 18 jersey, and youth team players such as Granero, Negredo and Soldado also got the No. 15 jersey. To the first team jersey number.

From this list of jersey numbers, it is not difficult to see that Yang Cheng has focused on promoting many young players from the youth training camp this season, and at the same time given enough trust. In order to make up for the loss of personnel in Castilla, Yang Cheng gave new players Michel Padesa, who took office, has a transfer budget of nearly 10 million euros, allowing him to introduce suitable players from other teams.

But the premise is that this signing must be signed and affirmed by Yang Cheng before it can be confirmed. At the same time, Yang Cheng also spared no effort in transforming the club's scouting system.

Everyone believes that Yang Cheng is determined to be the godfather of Real Madrid this time! ! .
