Sunday, July 10, holiday, but for Carlo Ancelotti and his team, it was the start of a busy season.

According to Real Madrid's plan, the team will gather on the morning of the 11th, and then go to the airport en masse, take a plane to Los Angeles to start training, and play three warm-up games in the United States, and then return to Europe and then go to Asia.

In the United States, Real Madrid will have a two-week pre-season training camp that will take part in all but the Brazil and Argentina internationals who will participate in the Copa America, which will be the perfect time for new coach Carlo Ancelotti to familiarize himself with the team.

Real Madrid is a club with a very mature and stable internal structure, and after the plan is released, it is natural that there will be staff from various departments to follow up and cooperate, including contacting hotels, training venues, warm-up opponents, etc.

There's only one thing Carlo Ancelotti and his team have to worry about, and that's training and playing.

Set off on the 11th, and on the morning of the 10th, Ancelotti's team officially started work.

After careful selection, Ancelotti's coaching team for the new season will reach 17 people, a little more than Benitez's previous team, mainly three strength and conditioning coaches and two nutritionists, while adding a team doctor.

Joaquín Mas, majoring in medicine and surgery at the University of Valencia, Spain, later went to the University of Barcelona to study for a specialist degree in sports medicine and physical function education, and began to work at Levante in 06 as a team doctor, and switched to Valencia in 08, Ancelotti mainly looked at his medical rehabilitation level.

Originally, the Italians hoped to invite Winston Bogard through Yang Yang, and the Dutch has been famous in European football over the years, and has his own uniqueness in sports rehabilitation physiotherapy, but Winston Bogard is now living a nourishing life, and he is not willing to follow Real Madrid around at all.

During Ancelotti's tenure at AC Milan, the most impressive thing is his reuse of a group of veterans, Maldini and Costa Curta and other veterans have maintained their form quite well, and now, Real Madrid's players in their thirties are increasing, and Ancelotti poached Joaquin Mas, presumably with this consideration.

Carlos Dias is still the head of Real Madrid's team medical department, with full responsibility for the team's medical affairs.

In addition to the chief assistant coach Zidawai, Ancelotti's other assistant coach is the Englishman Paul Clement, who is Ancelotti's assistant coach during his time at Chelsea, and the two work together very well.

And goalkeeper coach Willem Veky, who is also a man of God.

The Italian goalkeeper coach, who is in his sixties, has been with Carlo Ancelotti for a long time, and has worked for Parma, Juventus, AC Milan and Chelsea, where he has trained two of the world's top goalkeepers, Gianluigi Buffon and Dida, and during his time at Chelsea, he also gave Cech a great help in getting rid of injuries and returning to the top of the world.

In addition, the physical trainer Giovanni Mauri and the nutritionist Abbardi are both experts who have followed Ancelotti for many years and are well-known in European football.

It can be said that Ancelotti's entire team is full of talent and strength.

……

At half past nine in the morning, Ancelotti and his party arrived for the first time in Valdebebas.

The huge training base was empty, there was no sound or movement, whether it was the first team or the youth team next door, they had not started training yet, and naturally there would be no one.

But just as Ancelotti and everyone left the parking lot and went to the first-team training center, just around the corner, they saw a player in a black training uniform training on a training ground directly opposite the training center.

The temperature in Madrid in mid-July is very high, and although it is now past 9 o'clock in the morning, it is already close to 30 degrees outside.

The man on the training ground seemed to be unaffected by the scorching sun at all, dribbling the ball on the court and quickly passing over those logo plates, carrying out some relatively basic training projects, obviously adjusting his physical condition and competitive state after the vacation.

Exposed to the vest and shorts are the muscles of the bend, the skin is slightly dark, obviously this is not the first day he has insisted on such training, and looking at his sweaty and rainy concentration on the training ground, but no one else is around, it is really admirable.

"Yang Yang!" Carlo Ancelotti recognized the man on the training ground at a glance.

Everyone was a little surprised after hearing this, and they all took a closer look, isn't it Yang Yang?

This is the first person in world football?

"Oh my God, is that how he trains himself in every pre-season training camp?" Someone in the team asked.

At this time, Zidane's voice suddenly came from the side.

"No, it's not just the pre-season training camp, he's training like that almost every day."

With a kind smile, the French celebrity walked slowly towards them.

"Every day?" The crowd was amazed again.

Zidane nodded, "As far as I know, from Ajax to Liverpool to Real Madrid, he insists on doing this every day. ”

Including Ancelotti, everyone was speechless.

What kind of person does it take to be so focused and disciplined?

You know, it's not training time yet, and even if it's a normal training day, it's just starting to train now, but Yang Yang has obviously been here for an hour or two, and he practices like this every day?

Everyone couldn't help but think of the previous media reports, Yang Yang practiced for an hour every morning, all year round, rain or shine.

"He has always believed that he has no extraordinary talent, so he can only insist on working hard every day to ensure that he is not surpassed by others." When Zidane said this, his eyes showed appreciation, even admiration.

Sometimes he really thinks that even if he is an ordinary talent, if he can insist on practicing hard like Yang Yang for many years, he will definitely become an outstanding player.

What's more, he didn't think Yang Yang's talent was mediocre.

In the eyes of many media and fans, players fight for talent, but as everyone knows, Zidane, who is regarded as a top talent in their eyes, knows better than anyone that hard work is the foundation of a player's success, regardless of his talent.

An unborn genius like Ronaldo, without years of hard training, his peak did not last long, and as for too many injuries or something, these are the results, not the causes.

Ancelotti had heard a lot of news and reports about Yang Yang before, but he would never have thought that on the first day he came to Real Madrid, he would be taught this vivid lesson by Yang Yang.

He is now beginning to understand what Benitez once said, with a player like Yang Yang, if it is not used well, it must be the responsibility of the head coach, and it cannot be shirked!

That's right, if a head coach can't use a player like Yang Yang well, then he is not qualified to coach this team!

And there are those on the coaching staff who are surprised, those who are happy, those who admire, and those who are in awe.

…………

…………

Under Zidane's beckoning, Ancelotti and others went directly into the training center.

On the training ground, Yang Yang quickly ended his morning training.

He came to Valdebebas to train from the day after Carlo Ancelotti's press conference because he felt he was overweight and he wanted to recover as soon as possible and get fit for the summer training camp.

In the new season, Real Madrid will continue to compete in the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup, of which the opponent of the Spanish Super Cup is Barcelona, that is to say, Real Madrid's opponent in the first two games of the new season is Barcelona.

They missed out on the league title last season, and if they can beat Barcelona from the start of this season and win the Super Cup, it will undoubtedly give a good start to the new season, and the team will become more morale and fighting spirit.

Today's Real Madrid can be said to be strong and talented.

Not to mention anything else, the two newly introduced midfielders Modric and Herrera, the former is the core of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League, and the latter is also the main midfielder of La Liga team Zaragoza, and helped Spain win the European Youth Championship in Denmark not long ago, and opened the scoring for Spain in the final, helping the team beat the opponent 2-0.

It can be said that if these two players do not come to Real Madrid, they will definitely be reused if they go to any other team, even the core main level, especially Modric, but when he comes to Real Madrid, Modric must accept competition in the new season, competing with opponents like Xavi Alonso, David Silva and Kaka.

In addition to the midfield, the same is true for the front, such as Di Maria, who is the absolute main force in other teams, and there are also powerful substitutes such as Fermaelen, Arbeloa, and Maxwell in the backline.

Real Madrid's current squad is more prosperous and stronger than last season, and if the team is polished well and fully capable of going forward on multiple fronts, the key is to play well and play well from the start.

Yang Yang is anxious to find his form, and another very important reason is that the Asian tournament of the World Cup qualifiers will start at the end of July, and China's first opponent is Laos, and the difference in strength is indeed huge, but this is the first big test after Queiroz took charge.

The previous Asian Cup did not recruit foreign international players, including Yang Yang, many players did not return to China, mainly young players and substitute players, and finally failed to achieve three consecutive Asian Cup championships, but the national team has emerged a group of good young players, which will effectively supplement the current national team.

Yang Yang will follow Real Madrid to the United States for training, and then fly directly from the United States to China to play the World Cup qualifiers, and then meet Real Madrid in China to play two warm-up matches in China.

This is also the first time that Yang Yang has followed the club to China in his career, and Real Madrid is also aiming to develop the Asian market, and there are Chinese superstars like Yang Yang in the team, and they also attach great importance to this trip to China.

After the trip to China, Real Madrid returned to Europe to make a little adjustment, and ushered in the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup.
