Chapter 1209 World Cup Syndrome

Yang Yang returns to the team!

This quickly became the blockbuster news in Spain and even European football.

Even in the news of the Spanish national TV station, it was stated that Yang Yang's return to the team represented that the backbone of Real Madrid had finally returned, and all the previous worries and speculations about Real Madrid could come to an end for the time being!

Both AS and Marca are excited about Yang Yang's return to the team, saying that the invincible Real Madrid will return soon!

In the afternoon of the same day, Real Madrid officially held a press conference in Valdebebas, attracting more than 200 media reporters, all of whom were obviously rushing to Yang Yang, but the result was disappointing, Yang Yang did not attend the scene , but coach Ancelotti brought Ramos and Marcelo to the press conference hall.

Real Madrid's technical director Valdano, the chairman's special advisor and chief assistant coach Zidane all attended the press conference.

Ancelotti publicly announced in front of media reporters from all over the world that Ramos will serve as the team's new captain and Marcelo will serve as the team's vice-captain. During the time, manage the team's locker room and let the team play a higher level of football on the field.

Ramos also delivered his first speech after being the captain of the team. He first reflected on his performance last season, saying that he would try to correct some problems and urge himself to continue to improve. At the same time, he was also very grateful to the team from Support and encouragement from the coaching staff and teammates.

In his speech, Ramos also specifically mentioned Yang Yang. He said that Yang Yang had given him great help, no matter in the past, present, or future. During his tenure as the captain, he would also actively listen to the opinions from Yang Yang and others. Opinions of teammates.

Then it entered the free questioning session. Many media were more concerned about Yang Yang's situation and why he failed to be the captain. Did Real Madrid exert pressure?

Ancelotti said with a smile, "This morning, after he came to Valdebebas, the first thing he did was to come to my office. He told me himself that he didn't think about being the captain. He thought he should. Follow the tradition of the team over the years."

As for why you choose to trust Ramos?

Ancelotti still quoted the reason Yang Yang said, "Everyone needs time to grow. Ramos has undoubtedly made some mistakes, but we should see his positive side more. I believe that the captain's armband will make him more mature, more stable and more responsible."

There is also Yang Yang’s injury. Ancelotti said that the team doctor is conducting a detailed physical examination. The report has not yet come out, but the problem is not serious. He hasn't met the requirement to participate in high-intensity competition immediately, so we will give him more time to adjust."

"I always say that, Yang Yang is the most important player in our team, we are always looking forward to him getting back to his best form, we always believe that the unstoppable Yang Yang will come back soon !"

...

Maybe it's because Yang Yang has been too self-disciplined and diligent in the past few years, so that when Ancelotti said that he would let Yang Yang rest and adjust more at the beginning of the season, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

There are even reports of media conspiracy theories that Ancelotti's statement is actually telling everyone that Yang Yang failed to compete for the captain and was blocked by Real Madrid. This immediately caused panic among many fans who didn't know what was going on.

But in fact, this is simply inferior hype made out of nothing.

When Yang Yang began to invest in high-intensity pre-season physical reserve training, Real Madrid's new season also officially started.

The first game is the European Super Cup. This event has been moved forward to August 12 this year. The venue of the game is not the former Louis II Stadium in Monaco, but the current Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, England.

For the first time in the new season, Real Madrid played with the strongest and most organized lineup except for Yang Yang. Their opponent was last season's Europa League champion, La Liga team Sevilla.

Yang Yang was not included in the squad, and he did not even go to England with the team. Instead, he stayed in Madrid to continue his own training. This is also the training specially customized for him by Ancelotti's coaching staff. The purpose is to help him survive the World Cup After this tough trough, get over World Cup syndrome.

At the Millennium Stadium, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 2-0 thanks to Suarez's brace.

Di Maria, who had just renewed his contract, and Toni Kroos, who had just joined, performed well in this game, each with an assist. James Rodriguez and other players also made appearances one after another.

It is worth mentioning that the main goalkeeper is Courtois.

...

Defeating Sevilla 2-0, the process was not dangerous, which makes Real Madrid's prospects for the new season very exciting. It is especially worth noting that Real Madrid has maintained an unbeaten record so far this season.

But then, after the European Super Cup, the team did not return to Madrid, but went to Warsaw, Bosnia and Herzegovina to play a warm-up match against Fiorentina in Serie A. As a result, in this game, Real Madrid suffered another setback. Two lost to the Serie A team.

As a result, Real Madrid's new season's warm-up match unexpectedly encountered the embarrassment of annihilation, without even a draw.

After finally defeating Sevilla and winning the European Super Cup, Real Madrid had not had time to enjoy the praise of the media and fans, and was immediately knocked down from heaven to hell. The problem is very serious, and even the new season is likely to encounter the embarrassing situation of Barcelona last season.

That is to say, there are a lot of stars, but the actual lack of competitiveness.

After returning to Spain, Real Madrid soon ushered in the Spanish Super Cup. Their opponent was last season's Champions League final opponent Atletico Madrid.

The Sheets Corps suffered heavy losses, but Simeone's team is still full of competitiveness.

At the Bernabeu Stadium, the Sheets defended tenaciously and blocked Real Madrid's offensive. Oblak, the newly introduced goalkeeper, performed impressively, while Real Madrid suffered from the embarrassment of offensive disadvantage, especially in the first half. After the end, Suarez was off due to injury, which made Real Madrid's offense even weaker in the second half.

Until the 81st minute, Toni Kroos sent a direct pass. Carvajal made a pass from the right. Metz Rodriguez scored the winning goal for Real Madrid.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 at home.

Three days later, when Real Madrid visited the Calderon Stadium, Courtois was booed wildly by Atletico fans.

In just two minutes of the opening, Mandzukic scored a goal for Atletico Madrid, and then no matter how Real Madrid attacked, they failed to reverse the situation until the final stage of the game. In the second minute of stoppage time, Ramos relied on a corner kick. The header broke through Atletico Madrid's goal and equalized the score.

In the end, with Ramos' header, Real Madrid drew with Atletico Madrid 1-1 and won the Spanish Super Cup with a total score of 2-1.

But after the game, Real Madrid's performance caused controversy.

Many media believe that Yang Yang has not played for a long time, Suarez was injured again, and the teenager Jesse performed very diligently, but it seems that he has not recovered the state before the injury, which made Real Madrid's offense fall into a trough.

...

Due to the Spanish Super Cup, the first round of La Liga between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is two days later than other teams, but for Real Madrid, which has played consecutively in the European Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup, the schedule is still very dense.

Fortunately, Suarez finally returned from injury in the first round.

At the Bernabéu Stadium, after occupying an overwhelming advantage, Real Madrid defeated Cole 2-0 with Suarez's goal in the 30th minute and Jesse's icing on the cake in the 90th minute after coming off the bench. Dowa.

This is also Jesse's first goal after returning from a serious injury!

The Bernabéu stadium sent warm applause to the former prince and gave him encouragement, hoping that he can find his best form as soon as possible and win the fans' affirmation again.

Yang Yang still has not entered the team's squad. Ancelotti's explanation for this is that Yang Yang is still adjusting and recovering, and has not yet met the requirements of the club and the coaching staff.

And just after the first round, Yang Yang went to the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monaco to participate in UEFA's UEFA Champions League group stage draw and awards ceremony. He won the best player of the season almost without any suspense and top scorer are the two most important honors.

Regarding his delay in playing in the new season, Yang Yang said that he was also very uncomfortable, but Ancelotti and the coaching staff had indeed communicated with him before, so he could only wait patiently.

"I hope to return to the game as soon as possible and play for the team!" Yang Yang said urgently.

In the group stage draw, Real Madrid drew Yang Yang's former club Liverpool, and the other two teams were Basel in Switzerland and Ludogorets in Bulgaria.

...

When Yang Yang came back from Monaco with honors and shouted out his request to return to the game, everyone thought he would start the second round, but unexpectedly, in the second round of the away game against Real Sociedad, in the squad, Yang Yang still didn't enter.

In the away game, Real Madrid took the lead in the fifth minute with a header from Ramos, and then Di Maria scored another goal for the team.

But just when everyone thought that Real Madrid would be invincible and beat their opponents, starting from the 30th minute, Real Sociedad launched a crazy counterattack. The former Real Madrid midfielder Granero performed well, and Real Sociedad also followed suit in the subsequent game. He kicked his head and broke Real Madrid's goal four times in a row, and finally reversed Real Madrid 4-2.

The away game suffered a disastrous defeat of 2 to 4. Real Madrid not only ended their unbeaten record, but also suffered a humiliating battle.

The outside media attacked, and Real Madrid fans also expressed dissatisfaction with the team's situation. Courtois suffered the first crisis of confidence after joining Real Madrid and scored the lowest score in the game.

On the second day after the team returned to Madrid, Yang Yang knocked on the door of Ancelotti's office before the training session started.
