Chapter 1457 I Will Cover You From Now On!
On the morning of July 11th, Madrid was a fine day with a clear blue sky and no clouds.
When Mbappe took his friend Varane's Audi and slowly drove into the Valdebebas training base, he was full of curiosity about everything here, even though just a few days ago, he had been in Real Madrid coach Zidane's Accompanied by him, he visited the most advanced training base in the world football.
But today is obviously different from before, because today is the first day of training for Real Madrid's new season.
Although he was only selected for the French national team for the first time in March, Mbappe and Varane get along very well. The two are a few years apart in age, but they both have African blood. Playing for Real Madrid.
Slowly parked the car into the parking space, Mbappe got out of the car, and immediately focused on the most conspicuous position.
A newest Porsche Cayenne!
This is quite eye-catching in the all-Audi Bardebebas training base, and it's hard not to notice it.
"This is Yang Yang's car." Varane walked over and said with a smile.
Mbappe nodded, he is a die-hard fan of Yang Yang, so it is impossible not to know this.
"This is Ramos, Suarez, and this one is Toni Kroos, Asensio, and Kante and David Silva..." Varane turned around, Pointing to the opposite side, "That's the parking area for coaches and staff, and the first one belongs to Zidane."
Mbappe tried his best to remember the introductions of his friends, but there were too many and too complicated, and it was a bit messy.
"It's okay, you just need to remember your parking space, even if you park wrongly." Varane said with a smile.
Mbappe nodded at first, but soon showed a look of embarrassment, "Raphael, won't there be conflicts in our team?"
In his impression, the Real Madrid team is full of top stars in Europe and even the world. With so many stars gathered together, and because of the competition to play, some quarrels will inevitably occur.
Although Monaco does not have as many superstars as Real Madrid, it did not cause less conflicts last season. In Mbappe's impression, the parking space of the club happened twice, and other players accidentally occupied teammates. caused by fixed parking spaces.
Could it be that Real Madrid does not have this problem?
"Is there a conflict? For sure." Varane said frankly of course, "Everyone is playing for the same team, and the pressure of competition is high. They all come from all corners of the country and have different living habits and styles. How could it be possible? Is there no conflict? But our locker room is relatively harmonious, we negotiate and resolve problems, and at most we just quarrel."
"That's it?" Mbappe was a little surprised.
In Monaco, quarrels are commonplace, and the conflicts he mentioned were almost hands-on, or even hands-on.
Of course, none of these news will be announced, it is only known within the team.
"Our boss in the locker room is Ramos, you haven't seen what he is doing, if you really want to fight, who can beat him? He is the real boss in the locker room, we all listen to him , as long as you see his aura, you will know why he is a big boss."
In the end, Varane raised his eyebrows at Mbappe, as if he was telling his little brother, if you want to do better in Real Madrid, it is best not to provoke Ramos, this fellow But the tattoo boss.
"Then... what about Yang Yang?" Mbappe finally asked the question he was most concerned about.
Varane hesitated for a moment, "Yang Yang...how should I put it? He is not a boss in the locker room."
"No?" Mbappe was taken aback, because everyone outside said that Yang Yang is the boss of Real Madrid's dressing room.
"All you hear are false rumors from the outside world. Yang Yang seldom talks in the locker room, but listens more. Since I came to this team, I have rarely seen what he said in the locker room. The leader has always been the captain of Real Madrid, before it was Raúl and Casillas, now it is Ramos and Marcelo."
After a pause, Varane frowned again, "But since he became the chief assistant coach, he often mobilizes before games and gives lectures at halftime, but most of them are business-like."
Mbappe was a little surprised, but at the same time he was a little disappointed. He thought Yang Yang was the boss in the locker room who kept his word and said what he said.
"But don't think that he has no place in the locker room." Varane saw Mbappe's expression and smiled.
"What's the meaning?"
"He is not the boss, but what he says is more effective than everyone else, not to mention Ramos and Marcelo, even Zidane, and even the technical director Valdano, have to listen to him."
Mbappe was dumbfounded for a moment, it turned out to be so awesome!
"Anyway, you will gradually understand that Yang Yang is very detached, but his personality is really easy to get along with, and he will give gifts every year and festival. I can get the latest mobile phone and tablet computer every year, which are gifts from him. , Sometimes we all say that our locker room is so harmonious because of Yang Yang's character."
Varane's words made Mbappé startled, but he quickly understood.
The disharmony in Monaco's dressing room is largely due to the stars, such as Falcao, who obviously looked down on other Monaco players, especially some young players, but in the last season of Mbappe's rapid rise, Falcao's His status and role on the field have been weakened, which caused him to look at Mbappe very differently.
Although there was no conflict, Mbappe could easily feel it.
A team's locker room is unlikely to be peaceful if its star star is a nuisance.
"All in all, you believe me, in Real Madrid, you just need to play football with peace of mind." Varane patted Mbappe on the shoulder, and said earnestly in a senior tone.
Mbappe nodded heavily, indicating that he remembered.
At this moment, there was a burst of laughter not far away.
"Raphael, why do I feel that you are becoming more and more like a big brother now?"
Hearing the sound, both Mbappe and Varane were taken aback. They turned around and just saw Yang Yang and Zidane walking over with a smile. The two obviously saw them and came over to say hello of.
"Although I am still young in front of you, you must know that I am already the captain of the French national team." Varane smiled, and at the same time walked quickly, hugging Zidane and Yang Yang warmly .
"Welcome to Real Madrid!" After Yang Yang let go of Varane, he stretched out his hand towards Mbappé.
"Thank you." Mbappe held Yang Yang's hand excitedly, then took another step forward and hugged him firmly, "I still remember that it was almost in this place back then. It’s almost like holding you like this, telling you, telling you to wait for me, now I’m here!”
Yang Yang laughed. He vaguely remembered what happened back then, and almost forgot the specific details, but he still remembered that Mbappé at that time was not as tall as he is now, and he didn't believe it at all. Children can really walk in front of themselves and become their teammates.
"Raphael is right. In Real Madrid, the most important thing for you is to train well and play at your best level in the game. You don't need to worry about other things, we will take care of them for you."
When Varane said that just now, Mbappe was still a little puzzled, but now that Yang Yang also said that, he believed it.
"In the coming season, you will have many opportunities. Don't worry. Just joining a team will definitely take some time to adapt. We are full of patience with you. You have enough time to slowly adapt and Integrate into the team and slowly improve your own strength." Zidane also comforted.
Mbappe nodded, Zidane had already talked to him about this before.
In the initial stage, Real Madrid will properly arrange him as a functional player, that is, arrange suitable tactics, try to give full play to his advantages and characteristics, but it will certainly not organize offensive tactics around him like Monaco.
In Real Madrid, only Yang Yang has such qualifications and status.
Besides, as a young player, Mbappe has just arrived and has not yet proved himself, so the most important thing for him now is to use his own strength to prove himself like his teammates before he can discuss other things.
To gain a foothold and succeed in a new team, especially one as complex as Real Madrid, Mbappe not only needs to improve himself, but also needs to do more and better.
"Don't be nervous or worry, I'll cover you in the future!" Yang Yang patted Mbappé on the shoulder jokingly and said.
…………
…………
Although it was a joke, in fact, Yang Yang really did this.
He personally brought Mbappe to the dressing room of Real Madrid, introduced the new aid grandly to all his teammates including Ramos, and he said in a joking tone, "He is my fan. I came to the locker room, please take care of me in the future."
Not only that, Yang Yang also wrote a promise on the blackboard for a meal, but since Real Madrid will fly to Los Angeles this afternoon, the meal cannot be eaten until they return from the training camp in the United States.
But everyone can see that Yang Yang is happy from the bottom of his heart for Mbappe's joining.
Of course, this is not the case for everyone, because the arrival of Mbappe is bound to strengthen the competition within Real Madrid, especially among several teenagers, but because Morata and Di Maria left the team, two frontcourts were vacant. A position, which gives other Real Madrid players including Asensio and Vazquez more opportunities.
As for who can gain a firm foothold in the first team and get the main position, it depends on strength and performance.
Although Mbappe joined with the club's highest net worth, his annual salary is not high, and both Asensio and Isco have proved their strength in Real Madrid, and they may not have no hope of competing for the main position.
Especially considering that Mbappe has just arrived and wants to become the main force in Real Madrid at once. This is definitely not an easy task.
This is why both Yang Yang and Zidane asked Mbappe to be patient.
