Chapter 949 The Three Leaders

Ancelotti arrived in Madrid on the second day of July.

He was accompanied by his agent Canovi, and his son David Ancelotti.

David will also enter the coaching team of Real Madrid in the new season. He has recently been studying with Giovanni Mauri, who has been Ancelotti's best partner over the years and is also a world-renowned top fitness coach.

After reaching an agreement with Real Madrid, Ancelotti and his team received the team's itinerary plan for the new season from Real Madrid, including the North American training camp and Asia trip, and they have already made preparations for the pre-season.

Ancelotti came to Madrid this time, is about to usher in his first Bernabeu appearance.

Of course, his appearance cannot be as sensational as Yang Yang, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kaka two years ago. Even at the capital airport, no one noticed his appearance. This is the situation of the head coach. .

If it were Yang Yang, he would have been blocked by the media and fans who heard the news.

Real Madrid arranged for an employee of the Athletic Department to pick up the plane at the airport and took the trio of Ancelotti directly to the Bernabeu Stadium.

General manager Manuel Redondo, technical director Valdano and special adviser Zidane, plus sporting director Padesa, Real Madrid's top executives all gathered in the Bernabeu office to welcome Anche. Lottie's arrival.

It's just that it's still somewhat insufficient.

"Mr. Perez is holding an important meeting with the company. He asked us to start first." Redondo noticed Ancelotti's expression and explained.

Ancelotti smiled and nodded. He talked to Florentino on the phone, but he also knew clearly that in today's Real Madrid club, his immediate boss is Valdano, and then Manuel Ray Todo, followed by Florentino.

He even heard some news faintly that Florentino is implementing modern management in Real Madrid, but he himself is not too involved in affairs. Redondo is responsible for all the big and small matters of the club, and he is more in control. global.

Of course, in this case, if he appears, it will undoubtedly represent the importance Real Madrid attaches to Ancelotti.

But unfortunately, Ancelotti knew very well that he had no such weight.

After all, this is not his official debut.

...

After everyone met, they directly entered the conference room. After the secretary brought coffee and drinks one after another, they immediately went straight to the topic.

The topic of discussion at this meeting was Ancelotti's management of Real Madrid, including how he plans to manage the locker room, manage the team, and whether to make appropriate changes to Valdebebas, or what specifics he has ideas and requirements.

Valdano made it clear that Real Madrid agreed to Ancelotti's previous request, allowing him to further expand the coaching staff of the first team, but only up to 20 people, and Real Madrid will also help pay the fee as appropriate.

What many fans outside have always misunderstood is that the salary of the coaching staff has always been paid by the head coach.

For example, Benitez's team, Yesterdan and others get their salary from Benitez.

In other words, the salary that Real Madrid pays the coach is actually the salary paid to the entire coaching team.

Ancelotti's salary is not low, reaching a high price of 8 million euros a year, but everyone at Real Madrid believes that he and his team are worthy of this treatment, at least in AC Milan and Chelsea. Prove it.

Of course, in many cases, the club will also share the remuneration of part of the coaching team for the head coach as appropriate, so the requirement given by Real Madrid is that Ancelotti's coaching team cannot exceed 20 people, which is also exquisite.

Guardiola has been in charge of Barcelona for the past two years, and has been expanding the coaching team. The first-team coaching staff reached more than 30 people at most, more than the players. Salary expenses, so after Roselle took office, he immediately asked Guardiola to cut the coaching staff list, and the two also had a conflict.

There is an old Chinese saying that soldiers are not worth much more than elites.

Sometimes having more coaches is not necessarily a good thing.

Also, in the coaching team list submitted by Ancelotti, in addition to several old partners, there are also several young people, such as his son David Ancelotti, his prospective son-in-law Mino Furr The latter is also the son of Ancelotti's right-hand assistant nutritionist Abardi, and Francesco Mauri, the son of fitness coach Giovanni Mauri, is the team's second fitness coach.

Therefore, in many cases, this relationship is also intricate and intricate.

In addition, Redondo also said that after receiving another request from Ancelotti, Real Madrid finally decided to appoint Zidane as Ancelotti's assistant coach after several considerations, becoming the coaching staff, management and The bond between locker rooms.

After Zidane heard it, he politely nodded towards Ancelotti and smiled, but his expression was somewhat helpless.

Only a very small number of people know that Zidane was actually driven by Florentino and forced to take office. Otherwise, with the character of the French legend, he will definitely be happy for a while longer.

Ancelotti and Zidane are also relatively familiar. The two worked together at Juventus for a while, and then they contacted frequently. Therefore, when I recommended it to Florentino, Zidane was the first thing that came to my mind.

This time, it was his wish.

After everyone talked about a few specific issues one after another, Florentino finally arrived too late.

...

"I think the first thing I need to do after I come to Real Madrid is to change the impact of the previous coach's departure on this team, he was very successful at Real Madrid, and his departure is bound to give the players Brings some insecurities, they worry about where they are and where they are and we need to reassure them as soon as possible."

Ancelotti mentioned the first big thing he had to do after he joined Real Madrid.

"So, I need to establish friendship with them as soon as possible. After the season starts, I will talk to them one by one and tell them openly and honestly my specific thoughts and ideas, as well as my positioning for them. In addition, I also need to establish Team leader."

Florentino looked at Redondo, Valdano and Zidane, and everyone nodded in unison.

"What specific candidates do you have?" Florentino asked directly without saying anything.

This is also where the Real Madrid president is brilliant, he is testing Ancelotti.

"I think there are three people to consider," Ancelotti replied.

"Yang Yang, there is no doubt that he should be the leader of the team on the court. As far as I know, he doesn't talk much, but he always tries his best to do things. He is the most diligent and hardworking in the team and also has the most fighting spirit. The players, I think, have a leader like that who can push the whole team in games and training."

Ancelotti's remarks were not in vain.

Two years after Yang Yang joined Real Madrid, the atmosphere of this Real Madrid team has undergone earth-shaking changes. It seems that there are many superstars, but there is no laziness and laziness like a superstar team. Instead, everyone is tense. Every game They all played very hard, even on the bench.

It's a gene, an atmosphere.

Some people say that this is brought by Benitez, which is true, but also the players can accept it.

Just like when Benitez was coaching three times a week, everyone thought that the Real Madrid superstars could not endure so hard and would definitely turn back, but it turned out that the Real Madrid superstars not only ate it, but also benefited a lot from it.

It can be said that this incident has completely subverted the outside world's impression of the Real Madrid locker room, making everyone realize that they are no longer a group of undisciplined masters, but a group of players.

And it was Benitez who brought this change, but it was absolutely inseparable from Yang Yang's support.

Let me ask, the number one superstar in the team, the core appointed by Florentino, is so hardworking, what reason do others have to slack off?

Therefore, from the very beginning, Ancelotti identified Yang Yang as the leader on the Real Madrid stadium.

The leader of the dressing room is captain Casillas.

"He's a standard Madridist, he's been at Real Madrid from the age of ten to twenty to thirty, he's the flag of the city, he's a big player in the Real Madrid team, he represents There are many people who have dedicated their lives to Real Madrid, and in him you can see the inheritance of the Real Madrid spirit."

Everyone present basically agreed with Ancelotti's judgment that Casillas would be the leader of the team's locker room.

"The last one is Ramos, we all know that he is the vice-captain of the team, the future captain, he has a very strong personal charisma, never afraid or anxious, always positive, full of energy, able to put himself The power of his infects others, and he represents the blood and bravery of the Real Madrid Juanito spirit."

When Florentino and the others heard this, they all looked at each other for a while, and they all sensed the signal in the other's eyes. Ancelotti obviously did a lot of hard work in coaching Real Madrid.

The three leaders he established seem to be nothing special, or others can be selected, but he has given different positions, which represents his familiarity and understanding of Real Madrid.

More importantly, his remarks convinced the Real Madrid management that he could bring stability to the team.

For the current Real Madrid, stability can produce results, because the strength of the team is there.

"I want you to give me Yang Yang's contact information as soon as possible. I know he is on vacation, but I can't wait to talk to him about the future, about the team and the locker room." Ancelotti said slightly said jokingly.

He is a shrewd person, he knows very well that if he wants to coach at Real Madrid, he must first get the support of Yang Yang.

Even, he can offend any Real Madrid player, except Yang Yang.

Without Yang Yang's support, it is impossible for him to stay in this team for a long time.

Fortunately, Ancelotti had a rough chat with Yang Yang before, and they could talk to each other. He also knew that Florentino and others had asked Yang Yang's opinion, and he must have received a positive response before he was able to sit down. here.

"No phone." Florentino shook his head.

"what?"

"He will attend your press conference, and then you can have a good chat." The Real Madrid president laughed.
