This year, the temperature in Madrid is a bit unusual, with a large temperature difference between day and night.

Temperatures can reach less than 10 degrees during the day and reach close to freezing at night, and at least half of the month is raining, which is very uncomfortable for anyone, especially players who are extremely sensitive.

The Real Madrid coaching staff has also put a lot of effort into this aspect, from the warm-up to the training program, to the diet and protection on weekdays, to provide better and better care for the players as much as possible, because this is a group of young people in their twenties.

Now is the best time of their lives, so most of them have no concept of taking care of their bodies at all, and naturally they are full of confidence in their physical fitness.

For example, in the winter, some players will walk out of the locker room topless, and some players will take off their shirts and pants directly after training, which are obviously not in line with the norm and will be admonished by the coaching staff.

There are too many injuries on Barcelona's side, which is also a wake-up call for Real Madrid.

It's a rare time and Carlo Ancelotti doesn't want his side to repeat the mistakes of Barcelona.

……

Yang Yang is the player in the Real Madrid team who doesn't need to be worried about because he is self-disciplined enough and knows how to take care of himself at all times.

In Carlo Ancelotti's words, this is an exemplary player who is beyond reproach, both on and off the pitch.

Every morning, Yang Yang arrives at Valdebebas earlier than all the players, sometimes even before the coaching staff, for which the coaching staff and the staff at the training base have long been accustomed to.

Every time they met Yang Yang, they would greet him politely.

Some people say that Yang Yang's day is always very mechanical, as accurate as a wall clock on the wall.

When he arrives in Valdebebas, he must first go to the locker room to change clothes, then go straight to the gym, do an hour of equipment and cycling training, and then go out and run the stairs.

Usually, when he runs the stairs, his teammates have already arrived, and he warms up with everyone.

Oh no, the warm-up is the other player's thing, he should call it recovery and adjustment.

Giovanni Mauri is a world-renowned physical trainer who has followed Ancelotti for many years, and on the first day he came to Real Madrid, he met Yang Yang, who was training hard, which surprised him, and then Yang Yang's whole set of training made the Italian physical trainer greatly admired, not only because of the level of training, but also because of Yang Yang's hard work.

Yang Yang's training comes from Winston Bogard, which is very scientific and takes care of almost every aspect of Yang Yang, which is a training plan tailored for Yang Yang by a top-level physical fitness trainer and will be adjusted at any time.

Winston Bogard is obviously very familiar with Yang Yang's body and his style of play, and the training arranged is very targeted, especially for the muscles of several parts of the players that are prone to injury, and it is more focused on strengthening, which makes Yang Yang rarely have serious injuries, unless he is injured by the opponent.

But the real difficulty lies in Yang Yang's execution, and he completes almost every move meticulously.

Winston Bogard asked him to do 10 bench presses, he couldn't have done 9 and a half sets, and the Dutch fitness coach told him to pedal a spin for 20 minutes, and he couldn't have done 19 minutes and 50 seconds.

He's always just too much and no less, and he doesn't compromise on anything.

It's true on the pitch, it's on the training ground, it's even more so in the gym.

……

"Today's Yang Yang is obviously working harder."

Strength and Conditioning Coach No. 3 David Ancelotti stood outside the gym and spoke to his colleague, No. 2 Strength and Conditioning Coach Francesco Mauri, what he had observed from the expression on Yang Yang's face.

Inside the gym, Yang Yang was doing squats, wearing only a vest on his upper body, and the muscles exposed outside the air were rising with his training, looking as if they were full of explosive power.

Everyone knows that this is the capital of Yang Yang's competition with La Liga defenders.

"I heard that at yesterday's internal meeting in the locker room, Yang Yang shouted the slogan that he must win the three major championships this season, and none of them should be missing, it seems that he is not just talking, but really doing it." Francesco Mauri's eyes were full of admiration.

David Ancelotti nodded and smiled, "Yes, my father was also talking about it last night, and he felt that if the locker room was twisted into a rope, it was still very promising, and this morning the major media also reported it, and obviously received the news yesterday." ”

Although the internal meeting of the Real Madrid dressing room did not invite the coaching staff or management to participate, in fact, it was not completely airtight, especially for things like now, many players are willing to show their mouths to the outside world to boost the morale of the team and fans, and one pass ten, ten pass hundred, naturally spread quickly.

Judging by the reaction of the media and fans this morning, it was generally positive.

Barcelona are having problems at the moment, and it is a godsend for Real Madrid.

"My father said that if Yang Yang can maintain such self-discipline and hard work, he will definitely be able to exceed the age of 30 in his peak, and he may even play until the age of 40 like legends such as Maldini and Costacuta." Francesco Mauri laughed and praised.

The 25-year-old Yang has reason to be compared to the likes of Maldini and Costacuta, even though his achievements in football have long surpassed those of his predecessors.

His father, Giovanni Mauri, is a talented but visionary physical coach who has trained many superstars in his life, whether it's the likes of Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Cafu, Shevchenko, Inzaghi or Kaka, or hard-working players like Gattuso and Ambrosini.

But only for Yang Yang, Giovanni Mauri is very rare to praise many times, and not in public, but in private when discussing with his son, which is undoubtedly more weighty than in public.

"Before I first came to Real Madrid, I didn't believe the rumors. Francesco Mauri shook his head, then sighed, "But now, I have to admit that it is indeed not an accident that Yang Yang can be where he is today. ”

"That's what my father said." David Ancelotti laughed.

……

Yang Yang didn't know that his training was being looked at, and even caused discussion, he just focused on his training, because he wanted to further improve his body, stimulate more potential, and he wanted to perform better.

Because, Ibrahimovic is leaving!

Maxwell is also leaving!

This season will be his last season with the two old buddies, and maybe they won't get a chance to work together again from now on, so he hopes to leave something behind in this final season.

The best memory is the Triple Crown!

He knew it was going to be difficult and he knew Barcelona were going to snipe at Real Madrid, but he knew he had to.

In '09, Ibrahimovic joined Real Madrid because of him, and now, three years later, Ibrahimovic left Real Madrid because of him.

Although none of this is what he wants, and it has little direct to do with him, he still hopes to help Ibrahimovic, at the very least, so that he can leave Real Madrid with the aura of a victor and with pride and dignity.

In this way, with the character of the Swedish center forward, when he goes to Paris Saint-Germain, he is still the same Ibrahimovic who is in the wind!

Sometimes even Yang Yang himself feels that Real Madrid's Ibrahimovic is not his nature, because he has always accommodated Yang Yang and suppressed himself, maybe this is why he is leaving.

And Yang Yang also believes that if he leaves Real Madrid, leaves himself, and becomes the star of Paris Saint-Germain, Ibrahimovic will live a faster and freer life.

…………

On the evening of January 31, in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid hosted Athletic Bilbao.

This is the third consecutive match-up between the two teams in recent times, with the first two games ending in Real Madrid's complete victory, and the next two Copa del Rey semi-final opponents, the Basque Lions, are also under pressure against Real Madrid.

The Galaxy Battleship is playing at home and is looking to win the first leg.

Just three minutes into the opening period, Yang Yang made a long diagonal pass from the left flank, pinpointing Robben at the back post, and the Dutchman volleyed past Athletic Bilbao's goal.

In the twentieth minute, David Silva made a direct pass, Yang Yang successfully countered offside, received the ball and forced a breakthrough, the left side of the penalty area kicked up, and the ball passed under the crotch of the Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper and broke the goal again, 2-0.

Five minutes later, Luka Modric's overhead pass set up Arjen Robben to make it 3-0.

In less than half an hour, three goals were scored in a row, Real Madrid made a crushing start, and Athletic Bilbao was powerless in the face of the wolf-like Real Madrid, so they could only cope with it.

Bielsa even tried to strengthen the midfield by making two substitutions in a row at half-time, but in the end it failed to improve and still lost 3-0 away.

This is also Athletic Bilbao's third consecutive defeat to Real Madrid in recent times, and the Basque Lions can be described as a morale setback.

A week later, back at the San Mamés Stadium, the madman Bielsa's side made a frantic counterattack, and even played a crazy offensive at one point, giving the home fans hope of a comeback to Real Madrid, scoring three goals in the first half to level the aggregate score.

In this game, Real Madrid played with a semi-substitute lineup, and the performance was not ideal, Ancelotti had to deal with both the Copa del Rey and the league, and the two matches in a row also made Real Madrid tired.

However, in the second half, Real Madrid scored twice in a row, and Morata scored twice to help Real Madrid exceed the aggregate score again.

In the end, Real Madrid lost to Athletic Bilbao 2-3 away, but eliminated the Basque Lions with an aggregate score of 5-3 and advanced to the Copa del Rey final.

In the other matchup, Barcelona defeated Valencia 1-1 away and 2-0 at home.

Real Madrid and Barcelona will meet again in the Copa del Rey final, which is undoubtedly full of highlights.
