Chapter 1327

Since Real Madrid officially announced the Christmas dinner seating last year, the media and fans have noticed this implication.

At that time, Ancelotti took a wild victory all the way and sat next to Chairman Florentino. This was also regarded by the media and fans as evidence that the Italian was valued and trusted by the highest level of Real Madrid, and it was widely circulated.

And this year, all the media and fans have been paying attention and guessing in advance, who will sit beside Florentino? Will club manager Zinedine Zidane get the special treatment Ancelotti did last year?

The difference from last year is that this year's gathering is dinner.

When night fell, the Bernabéu was still brightly lit even though there was no game.

Although the renovation of the stadium has been completed, there are still a lot of scaffolding left outside the stadium. In this dark night, under the illumination of the lights, the entire Bernabéu stadium looks like a giant beast that devours people. It's all huge pressure.

Of course, Real Madrid fans will enjoy this sense of oppression.

Countless fans spontaneously came to the Bernabéu. They obeyed the rules of the club and stood in the designated area uniformly.

Media reporters did not get permission to enter, and they were also assigned to a specific area. Even the media such as Aspen, Marca and El Pais, which are close to Real Madrid, did not get permission to enter for interviews and take pictures. Some official internal intelligence and news from Real Madrid.

For example, they released the news early that Zidane will sit next to Florentino, just like Ancelotti did last season, which is what Real Madrid's top management Zidane has achieved in the past six months. Recognition of achievements.

But after arriving at the Bernabeu, with the arrival of Real Madrid players one after another, a few media close to Real Madrid also got photos from the club's publicists one after another. Everyone was surprised to find that there were business cards on the banquet table, and everyone They were all seated according to their business cards, and the business cards of Yang Yang and Zidane were placed on the left and right sides of Florentino.

This is big news!

To talk about Yang Yang's contribution to Real Madrid, there is no need to say much, and no one can deny it. As early as last year, Aspen and Marca broke the news successively. Together, I sat with Florentino at the guest seat, but Yang Yang chose to sit with his teammates because he considered himself a player.

Then what was the reason this year that made him change his mind?

Spying on this news is nothing to the pervasive media reporters.

Soon, they found the news one after another. It turned out that Yang Yang had refused several times before as in previous years, but in the end it was Florentino himself who called him and invited him to sit beside him. beside.

This inside story is amazing!

Florentino personally called to invite, which is more content than Yang Yang sitting next to the chairman, which further reflects the importance of Yang Yang in the current Real Madrid team.

It's a pity that all the media are forbidden to enter, otherwise, they really want to hear what Yang Yang and Florentino will talk about, whether it is about contract renewal?

Yang Yang's contract only ends in 2018, and now it will be 16 years. According to the usual practice, such an important star should start to renew his contract, so as not to delay the club. It's a pretty passive thing indeed.

Therefore, the outside world has been speculating for a while, is Real Madrid going to renew the contract with Yang Yang?

…………

…………

In fact, Florentino and Yang Yang never talked about contract renewal at all.

They seldom talk about this kind of thing. At most, Florentino personally asks about Yang Yang's wishes. As for the contract renewal negotiations, it is more between Manuel Redondo, the general manager of Real Madrid, and Jose Sanchez, the director of the commercial department. Talk to Yang Yang's agent Mino Raiola. Florentino and Yang Yang only talk about feelings, not business affairs.

It's also a smart strategy, as negotiations inevitably hurt feelings.

Florentino, Zidane, and Yang Yang mainly exchanged information about the current situation of the team and the problems encountered.

Both Yang Yang and Zidane know that the team is currently able to perform well, a very important reason is that the team's physical condition is very good, which is very important to Real Madrid's entire tactical system.

"We have conducted our own statistics. This season's average running distance has increased significantly compared with last season. Almost all players have improved. This has led to a very obvious improvement in the running of our team."

The reason why I say almost, not all, is because Mascherano and Modric have both fallen back. Among them, Mascherano is related to age, and Modric is compared with the data in the first half of last season. That was the peak of his career.

Therefore, the decline in the data of the two is to some extent a normal phenomenon.

The running distance of almost all players is increasing, which drives Real Madrid's entire running ability to advance by leaps and bounds. Behind this, the contributions of Pintus and Hamidou Msaidi are crucial. The former is responsible for physical training, and the latter Responsible for recovery and physical therapy.

Zidane's vision for selecting assistants is as sharp as his vision for selecting players.

The essence of a football game is that simple. When Real Madrid's overall running ability is equal to or even surpasses that of their opponents, then the team's technical and strength advantages will be reflected, and even brought into full play.

This is why Real Madrid can always score big.

As for the dialogue between the strong and the strong, the gap in strength itself is not big. In addition to testing the running and the enthusiasm of the players, tactical pertinence is also key, so there will be conservativeness when facing Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

Florentino also encouraged Yang Yang and Zidane, saying that the club will not be disturbed by outside public opinion, and is very satisfied with the team's games against Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, ​​especially the 5-0 home victory against Barcelona.

"We know better than anyone that to achieve something like this against a team like Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain is an extraordinary achievement, a huge success."

In addition, Florentino also made it clear that he has notified the technical team that Real Madrid's scouting system has been activated and is intensively looking for suitable midfielders. As for who to choose, it depends on Zidane and Yang Yang The result of the discussion between the two.

Obviously, with the improvement of the team's performance, coupled with the influence of Yang Yang and Zidane in the team, it is impossible not to ask for their opinions on any signings.

However, to Yang Yang's surprise, Florentino asked about the progress of Yang Yang's capital injection into Ajax afterwards.

Because of the sponsors, Yang Yang's investment in Ajax will bring a lot of chain reactions and troubles, so Yang Yang and Raiola jointly decided to deal with it in a low-key manner, and the Ajax management also agreed to cooperate.

After all, this is an operation in the capital market. At that time, Yang Yang will set up a company to inject capital into Ajax.

But there are still many details in the negotiation, but a consensus has been basically reached.

After all, it has been delayed for several months, and Ajax's financial pressure is increasing, and it is a bit overwhelming.

Although it is low-key and confidential to the outside world, it is impossible to hide this in the football circle, especially in the core football circle of European football. Not only Florentino knows, but many club executives and UEFA important officials , Even FIFA knows, but everyone doesn't say it.

Yang Yang's injection of capital into Ajax as an investor is more seen as a kind of support for his former home team. It does not conflict with him playing for Real Madrid as a professional player now.

"Ajax has always been a talent training camp for European football, but it has always been more closely related to Barcelona in the past. It was only in recent years that we introduced Escuder, Van der Vaart, Sneijder and Henry. Players such as Trall have some cooperation."

When Florentino said this, he took a deep look at Yang Yang, "Ajax is the cradle of talents. If you enter the management of Ajax, we are happy to see Real Madrid and Ajax For a deeper cooperation, even we are willing to support where we can."

Yang Yang understands that this is also a vertical and horizontal strategy.

Due to the relationship between Cruyff, Michels and others, Ajax and even Dutch football have always been regarded as Barcelona's youth training base. From Van Gaal to Kluivert, Reziger and others, Barcelona's Dutch color is very strong.

But in recent years, the cooperation between Real Madrid and Ajax will obviously be more.

If Yang Yang enters the management of Ajax, Real Madrid will definitely support it. After all, they also hope to have further cooperation with Ajax, especially in the training of young players, or in the transfer of players.

For example, Real Madrid rents out many young players to play for other teams every year. Ajax is a very good platform. If they can cooperate in this aspect, it will also benefit Real Madrid a lot.

Of course, Yang Yang would not refuse Florentino's olive branch. He is also very aware of the current situation of Ajax. With the skyrocketing value of young players, even if Ajax wants to compete with the rich teams, If you can't grab them, you can only hope to train yourself, or poach lower-level teams or leagues.

Cooperation with giant teams can also be a way for Ajax to manage. After all, giant teams, especially giant teams like Real Madrid, recruit too many talents. For example, the talented Norwegian player Martin Erdegaard, he is a talented teenager who is coveted all over Europe.

"The negotiations have not yet been settled." Yang Yang said with a smile, "After the negotiation is settled, I also hope to do my best to promote cooperation."

Yang Yang didn't say anything to death, because Ajax didn't reject Real Madrid, nor would they reject other teams because of Real Madrid.

This has nothing to do with Yang Yang playing for Real Madrid.

Florentino is naturally very aware of this, and he never thought of using Yang Yang's relationship to prevent Ajax from cooperating with other giants. This is impossible and unrealistic.

All he wanted was a good relationship, a certain priority, that's all.
