In late July, Real Madrid collectively went to the United States for a training camp, but this time the training team was only 20 people.

All World Cup internationals will decide when they will return to the squad based on the time of their national team's final match in the World Cup, with Yang Yang and new signing Toni Kroos being the latest, both of whom played in the World Cup final, so Real Madrid allowed them to return to training until August 5.

Due to the absence of a number of key players, the training list for the United States this time is mainly based on substitutes and young players, and the most notable of them is undoubtedly Spain's international Casillas, and although he participated in the World Cup round of 16 knockout round, Costa Rica international Navas, who returned early, is a new signing.

The reason for so much media attention is simple: if Real Madrid sign De Gea, Casillas will be in an awkward position, the Real Madrid captain is very likely to leave, and if Real Madrid do not bring in goalkeeper signings this summer, then Casillas' rival will be Keylor Navas, who shines at the World Cup.

The Costa Rican goalkeeper was previously unknown, not even well-known in La Liga, and did not attract much attention, but because of his outstanding performance in the World Cup, he joined Real Madrid and began to become popular.

But everyone is also very clear that the former Levante goalkeeper is not brought in by Real Madrid as the main goalkeeper, but more as a substitute goalkeeper, so the key is to see Casillas' own state and whether Real Madrid will bring in a high-level goalkeeper.

And the most noteworthy in the list is Jesus, the Real Madrid youngster who suffered a serious injury last season and missed half a year, although he missed the World Cup, but on the day of the pre-season training camp, he successfully returned to the team and participated in all the summer training camps, and he was in good shape and performed very positively.

Everyone can see that Hesse is trying to recover his form after a serious injury, and the whole team is looking forward to Hesse's return and is trying to help him get back to his pre-injury form.

The return of Jesus is a good thing for Real Madrid, but it also wears away the last glimmer of hope for Alvaro Morata, the Real Madrid substitute striker has performed well in the past two or three seasons, is also very strong in his own right, and has no shortage of interested teams, so after seeing Hesse return from injury, he has finally made up his mind.

Alvaro Morata removed himself from the list just before the team left for the United States, and two days later he moved to Serie A giants Juventus for a whopping €20 million, but in this contract, Real Madrid had a buy-back option for two years.

To some extent, this is also a kind of optimism for Real Madrid on Morata, if he can perform well at Juventus, the possibility of returning to Real Madrid in two years is still very high.

Without Morata, Yang Yang, Suarez, Di Maria and Hazard have not yet returned to the team, and there is only one Jesse who has just been absent for half a year and has just recovered from a serious injury, which makes Real Madrid's warm-up game in the United States very unsatisfactory.

First lost 3-4 to Inter Milan, then 0-1 to Roma in Serie A, and finally lost to Manchester United in the Premier League, conceding eight goals in three warm-up games, such results and performances are indeed unsatisfactory, especially the state of goalkeeper Casillas is still not reassuring.

With three games and three losses, Real Madrid's American training results were disappointing, especially the team's defensive line, which was even more embarrassing.

Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane have both expressed their opinions, believing that the team's poor performance is due to the fact that many of the main players have just returned to the team, and some have not even returned to the team.

"We have every reason to believe that the team will get better and better as we come into the new season, because we are going to be stronger and better overall this season than at any time in previous years."

Obviously, with the addition of Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez, Real Madrid's midfield strength has been significantly improved, which also makes Real Madrid full of confidence.

But when the team returned to Europe from the United States, Bayern Munich officially announced that it would introduce Spanish midfielder Xavi Alonso from Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 10 million euros.

Pep Guardiola has been retaining Toni Kroos, hoping to facilitate Bayern management to renew the contract of Toni Kroos, but unfortunately, Toni Kroos eventually transferred to Real Madrid, so Guardiola chose to bring in Xavi Alonso from Real Madrid to fill the void left by Toni Kroos.

Both teams are trading for fans, especially Bayern, who traded a younger Toni Kroos for veteran Xavi Alonso, just for the 20 million euros transfer fee.

After Real Madrid sold Xavi Alonso, it was soon officially announced that it had introduced Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga for a high price of 35 million euros.

"According to the internal information obtained by the reporter, Yang Yang saw the Wolfsburg game in the Champions League game, in order to understand the opponents Dortmund and Bayern Munich, and then was attracted by De Bruyne's style of play, especially his running and passing, and then Yang Yang told Zidane what he had gained."

"In fact, long before the decision to bring in Toni Kroos, there was a discussion within Real Madrid, and Verratti recommended by Ancelotti, Pogba recommended by Zidane, De Bruyne recommended by Yang Yang, and Toni Kroos of Bayern Munich were the focus of discussion, but Pogba, who was the most difficult to introduce, was the first to be vetoed."

"In the end, with Germany winning the World Cup, Toni Kroos became the best candidate for Real Madrid, but with the departure of Xavi Alonso, the introduction of a powerful midfielder was once again on the agenda, and among the options between Verratti and De Bruyne, Zidane persuaded Carlo Ancelotti to choose De Bruyne in the end."

"Everyone thinks that the 22-year-old Belgian midfielder will be Real Madrid's most anticipated rookie in the coming years, with Kevin De Bruyne, Isco, Eden Hazard, James Rodriguez, Jesus, Ilya Ramendi ......"

"There is no doubt that Real Madrid will have the best young squad in European football, which will also provide Real Madrid with strong backing in the coming years, and more importantly, Real Madrid, which insists on fighting on multiple fronts, does not lack high-level training opportunities, which undoubtedly brings convenience to the development of young players."

Finally, Ace believes that Yang Yang rarely interferes in the transfer of the club, but every time he participates, he shows a very high vision and level, such as keeping Robben and Sneijder back then, and insisting on keeping Di Maria last season, which proves Yang Yang's vision, and now, De Bruyne joining Real Madrid is undoubtedly very exciting.

……

After signing De Bruyne, counting Keylor Navas, Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez, Real Madrid has invested more than 150 million euros in the transfer market this year, although the sale of Herrera, Morata, Xavi Alonso and Robben is also quite expensive.

However, there has been no movement in the goalkeeper position, which makes Real Madrid fans very worried, especially after the three disastrous three consecutive defeats in the United States, which made Real Madrid fans a little unable to sit still.

In the end, Real Madrid officials had to take immediate action.

On the third day after Real Madrid returned to Spain from North America, Real Madrid officially announced that it had brought in Belgian international Thibaut Courtois, who was on loan at Atletico Madrid, from Chelsea for a high price of 35 million euros.

The young goalkeeper, who had been involved with Barcelona all summer, ended up joining Real Madrid, which surprised Real Madrid fans and was not very comfortable, because it was the goalkeeper who was brought in from the same city's rivals.

But nothing is saddest than the Barcelona fans.

First Toni Kroos, then James Rodriguez, and now Courtois, why are the players targeted by Barcelona being cut off by Real Madrid one after another?

If Tony Kroos and James Rodriguez are excusable, then what about Courtois? Didn't Real Madrid keep their eyes on De Gea all the time?

Why did you suddenly shift your target?

The Catalan media are dissatisfied with this, but more about the operation of the Barcelona management, believing that the team's transfer recruitment this summer is an absolute failure, because the team's plan to transform the back line has been frustrated, David Luiz transferred to Paris Saint-Germain, and now Courtois has moved to Real Madrid, and the goalkeeper has been frustrated again.

Barcelona president Bartomeu had to shout that they would poach Thiago Silva and Verratti in the hope of calming the anger of the fans, but Paris Saint-Germain quickly fired back, saying that if Barcelona dared to poach PSG's players, they would poach Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar.

Backed by the wealthy Qatari consortium, Paris Saint-Germain issued such a threat, even Barcelona had to admit it, which once again disrupted Barcelona's plan to transform the backline.

After the setback in bringing Courtois, Barcelona immediately shifted their target, bringing in German goalkeeper Ter Stegen from Borussia Mönchengladbach for a transfer fee of 12 million euros.

The arrival of the little lion king also basically announced the departure of Valdés and substitute goalkeeper Pinto.

Coincidentally, after Real Madrid introduced Courtois, Casillas also quickly proposed a transfer, transferring from Real Madrid to Porto in the Portuguese Super League on a free transfer.

This is also the announcement that the Real Madrid era belonging to Casillas is completely over!

But at the same time, the outside media is also hotly discussed, after Casillas leaves, who will replace him as the new captain of Real Madrid?

It was at this sensitive moment that Yang Yang returned to Valdebebas.
