934 Yang Yang's Crisis

After Chelsea's humiliating dismissal, Carlo Ancelotti did not leave London in the first place.

He needed a little time to stay and pack up some things and take care of things like his rental in London.

What's more, he received a phone call the morning after his class, which made him decide to stay in London and want to see the upcoming Champions League final live.

This has been hailed as the most expensive game ever played in world football.

Not only because both sides are worth a lot of money, but also because the winner of this match will receive huge prize money and benefits.

With the early arrival of both teams, the atmosphere of the final in London began to get stronger, with fans everywhere on the streets and many media reporters everywhere catching the news, which made Ancelotti feel very reclusive.

It wasn't until Thursday night that he disguised himself and quietly left his residence and came to a luxury hotel.

It wasn't long before he met the man who had called him a few days earlier.

Oh no, or should I say the bunch.

Real Madrid President Florentino, Grand Butler Manuel Redondo, Technical Director Baldano and Special Adviser to the President Zinedine Zidane, the four most influential senior executives of Real Madrid's management right now, among which Zidane is considered a supernumerary.

It was Zidane who called Ancelotti before, but it was Florentino who asked him to call.

Each other is a smart person, and many things don't need to be said at all, and they will naturally understand.

met, sat down, exchanged a few polite greetings, and talked about some things that have happened recently, each with some sighs.

Florentino said that he regretted Carlo Ancelotti's departure, and that he had admired Ancelotti's coaching at AC Milan a few years ago, but unfortunately never had the opportunity to work together.

Two years ago, Carlo Ancelotti was so close to Real Madrid that he almost turned down Chelsea, but Real Madrid chose Benitez for various reasons, and Ancelotti went to Chelsea for this.

The fact that Real Madrid have grown by leaps and bounds in the past two years, and that they are even expected to become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League in more than two decades this season proves that the management made the right choice back then.

Carlo Ancelotti had his share of gains and losses at Chelsea, not much success, but certainly not a failure.

Baldano and Zinedine Zidane also actively joined in the small talk, one of them is a respected football legend, and the other has worked with Carlo Ancelotti at Juventus, and the conversation was quickly shifted to the current Real Madrid team, consciously or unconsciously.

As for the current Real Madrid team, Carlo Ancelotti said that it is already a very strong and maturing team, as evidenced by reaching the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons, but at the same time he believes that there is still a huge potential for this team to be explored.

"Yang Yang is one of the best players I've seen in the decades since I started playing and coaching, and one of the best attacking players in the history of football, so it's a blessing for any manager to coach a player like him, but I'm pretty sure he's not at his peak yet."

Ancelotti said with great certainty.

"Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic, Arjen Robben and Kaka, and even Di Maria, I can say that these players are among the best in European football, but the attacking combination they have formed has not lived up to what is expected of them, especially in the absence of Yang Yang."

"There is no doubt that Yang Yang's talent is above the technical and tactical aspects, but I think that Real Madrid's current tactics are not necessarily the best for him, maybe there is no risk in the short term, but in the long run, there will definitely be big problems."

When Florentino heard this, his brows furrowed tightly, and he immediately turned his head to look at Baldano and Zidane, who were also frowning, obviously thinking about Ancelotti's words.

Is it deliberately alarmist when they meet, and the words are not shocking and endless, or is it really something to say?

Ancelotti apparently came prepared, borrowing a piece of paper and a pen from Redondo.

"We often say that in the world of football, scoring goals is always the hardest, so the score in football is always low, unlike those sports that use hands, such as basketball and volleyball, which are always high scores, because football is played with feet."

"We also often say that football is a sport full of mistakes, in a game, mistakes are always more than accurate actions, and some people even say that mistakes in football games are also a kind of beauty, and whoever can reduce mistakes more will win."

"For an offensive player, wasting opportunities is a normal phenomenon, but this iron law that runs through the entire history of modern football development does not seem to be confirmed in Yang Yang, because he is always playing in the most reasonable, stable and least error-prone way."

'From passing to shooting, from headers to free-kicks, he always showed incredible consistency and efficiency, he felt like he could take all the chances that were created and he never seemed to make a mistake.

Baldano and Zidane looked at each other and nodded their heads.

Carlo Ancelotti is not wrong at all, this is not a profound opinion, but it is enough to prove that he does have a deep understanding of Yang Yang, and he may even have followed Yang Yang's game for a long time.

"As I said earlier, Yang Yang's talent should override the team's overall skills and tactics, and any manager who coaches him must first determine a premise when he lays out his tactics, which is to give him the freedom to attack at will on both flanks, and let him do what he thinks he needs to do, which will make him more unpredictable."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but remember that Benitez had always put Yang Yang on the left side, occasionally letting him go to the middle or right side, but most of the time, he was not willing to let Yang Yang disrupt his overall tactical framework.

'He's naturally good at finding space, he's always been so quick, he's so elusive, and as long as he's given enough freedom and better team-mates to support him, so that he can play the way he wants and thinks whenever he wants, then this team is invincible.'

Ancelotti's words were once again recognized by the four people around him, and there is no need to say much about Yang Yang's talent and strength, which is a fact recognized by everyone in the world, even Cruyff.

"I carefully looked at the statistics of Real Madrid and some games in the last two seasons, Yang Yang's goals always account for about half of the team, and many games are solved by himself, which is not a reasonable phenomenon, and even this will bring a huge risk and crisis."

Hearing this, Florentino couldn't help himself, "You say come and listen." ”

After receiving the positive feedback, Ancelotti was clearly more motivated.

"First of all, Yang Yang is still young, twenty-four years old, and he is about to be twenty-five, I took a look at his way of playing, he is always sprinting and passing, often relying on the strength of one person to destroy the opponent's defense, which is a very physical consumption, a style of playing that consumes the player's body."

When Florentino heard this, he couldn't help but think of Arjen Robben and Kaka, the former has been recovering from injuries from PSV Eindhoven to Chelsea to Real Madrid, and in recent years has begun to transform to the right side, and after changing the style of play, it is no longer as sharp as before, but the injuries have also decreased a lot.

There is also Kaka, who came from AC Milan, and he was also at the age of twenty-six or seventeen, after reaching the peak of his career, a sudden serious injury directly caused him to plummet.

Real Madrid put all the burden on Yang Yang's body, which is a kind of trust, but how can it not be a pressure?

"There is no doubt that Yang Yang is the most important player for Real Madrid at the moment, and it can even be said that it is the core of the team, but as I said earlier, there must be a group of excellent teammates to assist him, and at the same time give him freedom, help him find the most suitable way to play, distribute his physical energy more reasonably, and even reduce his playing time appropriately, and help him extend the peak of his career as much as possible, which is of great benefit to him and to Real Madrid."

After Ancelotti's words, Florentino, Baldano and Zidane all knew that he was not alarmist, on the contrary, whether he was the next manager of Real Madrid, but at least, his words were absolutely from the bottom of his heart, and he sincerely hoped to see Yang Yang avoid the road that Kaka had walked.

Since that serious injury, Kaka has not recovered himself, and in the blink of an eye, he is twenty-nine.

Perhaps, Ancelotti felt guilty about Kaka, so he didn't want Yang Yang to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Florentino is also vigilant, he knows the weight of Ancelotti's words, and he has to consider another thing in his heart, that is, a proposal given by Zidane not long ago, which was rejected by him at the time, but now he has to reconsider.

If you look at it from the perspective of assisting Yang Yang and sharing the task of the game for Yang Yang, the player proposed by Zidane is a very good candidate, but in this way, the team is bound to tear down and rebuild.

This is not an easy decision to make.

Even if Yang Yang is asked, I am afraid he may not agree.

However, Ancelotti was not wrong at all.

A healthy, injury-free, and long-term peak performance Yang Yang is what Real Madrid needs most.

In fact, in the first half of this season, Yang Yang's injury for more than two months has attracted the attention of Florentino and the management, and the president of Real Madrid even personally asked the team medical team about Yang Yang's treatment plan, which has never been done before, which shows that Florentino attaches great importance to Yang Yang.

Now, Ancelotti's words have made Florentino even more convinced of this.

Yang Yang is the future of Real Madrid!
