After playing Sevilla, Real Madrid did not immediately take a holiday.

After returning to Madrid from the away side that night, the players had to report to Valdebebas the next morning for recovery training, which according to Carlo Ancelotti and the coaching staff was crucial for the players' physical recovery.

And when everyone came to the locker room, they saw a sentence clearly written on the blackboard in the locker room.

"Tonight, Juan's House Barbecue."

When every Real Madrid player saw it, they nodded and smiled tacitly.

Real Madrid's schedule is relatively tight this year, and the club has not been able to find time to arrange a Christmas banquet, so they can only give each player and their families a generous gift and a Club World Cup winning bonus in return.

It wasn't until now, as Christmas approached, that a dinner party was organized.

Real Madrid players are also accustomed to this, almost every month, such a dinner is organized at least once, the players will also show up on their own, if something can't be reached, they will definitely tell the promoter in advance.

In order to prepare for this Christmas banquet, Real Madrid specially chartered the entire Juan House barbecue restaurant, which naturally alarmed the media.

In the afternoon, a large number of media gathered outside the barbecue hall to watch the Real Madrid players, coaching staff and staff arrive one after another, and they all maintained a tacit understanding that they would not come forward to disturb them.

It's a private party, and reporters will be outside to take pictures, but they won't go inside and won't go for interviews.

Yang Yang has always been more punctual and came early, accompanied by his wife Su Ye and Xiao Yang Guang, who was still in infancy.

The three-month-old son was still out for the first time, and was held in Yang Yang's arms, covering his face, and refused all media reporters to come forward, and Yang Yang's personal assistant also greeted the media reporters early and was not allowed to take a frontal photo of the child.

This is also Su Ye's first public appearance in the past three months, and everyone suddenly discovered that after giving birth, she quickly recovered her slender figure, and her bumpy figure was more moving than before, and her original pure temperament added a bit of mature charm unique to the young woman of Huaxin.

Yaoyao greeted the media reporters, and Yang Yang and Su Ye entered the Juan House barbecue restaurant.

Every Christmas, Yang Yang prepares a Christmas gift for the entire club, including the players, coaching staff, staff, and even some youth team players who train with the first team, and in the past few years, it has been Apple's mobile phones, iPads and laptops.

Everyone in Real Madrid knows that Yang Yang is a minority shareholder of Apple, and he has made a lot of money from Apple's shares alone in recent years, and Yang Yang is very popular in the locker room on weekdays, so everyone is not polite to him.

This year is no different.

The latest iPhones, iPads and laptops, according to different standards, from which everyone can get a gift, were delivered early to the Juan House barbecue restaurant, where Real Madrid arranged for Yang Yang's assistant to be responsible for distribution.

The players and staff who arrived at the barbecue hall early also went forward to thank Yang Yang in person when they saw him, thanking Yang Yang for his gift, and some familiar ones would tease Xiao Yang Guang, which was his first public appearance.

As Yang Yang's son, Xiao Yang Guang has been the focus of media attention all over the world since he was born, but Yang Yang and Su Ye have always protected him well and did not expose him too much to the spotlight, they still hope that Xiao Yang Guang can grow up carefree and not be harassed by the outside world too early.

Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Xavi Alonso and Maxwell and other old friends have also arrived one after another, they are dragging their families, and it is inevitable that they will be lively when they get together, and the wives are also competing for beauty when they walk together, and Su Ye has always been a glamorous presence in the Real Madrid wives group, and tonight is no exception.

Only Yang Yang knew in her heart that Su Ye had been exercising and shaping her body in the past few months, and even she had been paying attention to her posture since she was pregnant, so she recovered quickly, and now she is even more charming than before she was pregnant.

……

With the arrival of Florentino and Carlo Ancelotti and others, Real Madrid's Christmas feast officially began.

On behalf of the Real Madrid Board of Directors, management and all members, the President of Real Madrid took the lead in thanking all the players, coaching staff and staff for their hard work over the past year.

"We have been the only team to successfully defend the Champions League in the past 20 years, and I can't describe to you how excited I was at the time, and I can't convey to you the gratitude of all the Real Madrid fans, but I want to say that Real Madrid will always remember you and what you have done."

Everyone present was thrilled after hearing this.

This is Real Madrid and everyone present will leave their name in this great football club.

Maybe ten years from now, a hundred years from now, everyone will miss them as much as they miss legends such as Di Stéfano and Hento.

In addition to acknowledging the team's achievements, Florentino also made demands on the team for the second half of the season.

Theoretically, La Liga is currently in the seventeenth round, but due to the strike of the players' union, it has only played sixteen rounds, and the first round has been adjusted to January, and now after the sixteen rounds, Real Madrid won the halfway championship with an eleven-point lead.

Florentino said that the landscape of La Liga has changed dramatically, Barcelona is no longer as competitive as expected, and Real Madrid has returned to the high speed this season, and the team is currently the most attacking team in La Liga and Europe, and it is also the best defensive team in La Liga.

"The other day, I met with the management of other clubs, and they joked that we at Real Madrid had created so many 'tragedies' in the first half that they had to shift their focus to cleaning up the mess, which is the biggest recognition and recognition for us."

"I want to say that our biggest opponent in the league so far is not Barcelona, but ourselves, there is no doubt that Barcelona cannot be underestimated, but the only one who can really stop us will be ourselves."

Florentino said that on the basis of the first half, Real Madrid in the second half should be more ambitious, in addition to La Liga, will the team be able to perform in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey?

Now there is an eleven-point lead in the league, coupled with the depth of Real Madrid's strong squad of players, it can fully support the third-line battle.

"In our 100-year history of Real Madrid, there have been five consecutive titles, great legends like Di Stefano and Puskas, then three wins in a row from Bayern Munich and Ajax, legends like Beckenbauer and Cruyff, and now we have the opportunity to create another treble, and there is a chance for legends like Beckenbauer and Cruyff among all of you."

As soon as Florentino's words fell, everyone at the scene immediately shifted their attention to Yang Yang.

If there is really someone who can become a legend like Beckenbauer and Cruyff after Real Madrid's three consecutive championships, it must be Yang Yang, and it cannot be anyone else.

Yang Yang was a little excited after hearing this, but he knew that it was difficult.

Because to compare with legends, it is not only about club performance and personal honors, but also about the results of the national team.

The football king Pele won the supreme status by virtue of the national team's results, and Maradona needless to say, Beckenbauer and Cruyff also performed very well in club and national team.

And the national team is Yang Yang's biggest weakness.

In fact, there is now a saying that one king, two horses, three emperors, four saints, and five arrows.

The first king is the football king Pele, the second horse is Maradona, the third emperor is the football emperor Beckenbauer, the fourth saint is the ball Santa Cruyff, and the fifth arrow is the golden arrow Di Stefano.

It stands to reason that Di Stefano's results in club competitions are better and his seniority is higher than Pele, but you must know that Real Madrid's five consecutive championships at that time have always been criticized for too much, because the Champions League at that time did not have much gold content, and Di Stefano's historical status is far less than that of the previous four.

But if Real Madrid can win the Champions League three times in a row, with Yang Yang's dominance of European football in the past few years, his historical status can at least compete with Ronaldo and Zidane and others, and he is even expected to break into the top five in the future.

If the national team event is not good, then rely on the club to rush, this is Yang Yang's clear goal from the beginning, he is to play the club event as his World Cup.

Of course, whether it is the media or fans, there is a very serious sentiment of the past and the present, because no one can defeat the good memories, so the people of today are often inferior to the ancients, so if you want to know your historical status, you can only wait until the moment when you are close to retiring.

……

Florentino's intention was to boost morale, but it was certainly not enough to just pay lip service, so Real Madrid offered big winnings this season, especially the treble.

It is clear that both the management and the technical team believe that this year is Real Madrid's best chance to win the treble in decades.

In fact, this is indeed the case, because Barcelona have really had problems this season, otherwise they would not have lost points frequently in the league, and now they are as many as 11 points behind Real Madrid, which is almost giving up the league title.

Real Madrid's current bench is very thick, with two very competitive players in almost every position, which makes Real Madrid's third-line battle fully achievable, and Florentino is to inspire the team.

Whether it's for the reward, it's for the feelings, or even for the realization of self-worth, Florentino's request is that everyone in the team twist into a rope and strive to sprint in the second half.

Carlo Ancelotti also said on behalf of the coaching staff that they have developed a complete set of plans and season strategies and will do their best to achieve the expected goals, while captain Casillas also said on behalf of the dressing room, saying that everyone must work together to try to produce better form and performance in the second half.

In the end, a Christmas feast was made to resemble a pledge meeting.

But I have to say that the morale and atmosphere in the team are really good.

Florentino, in particular, then went one-on-one with players one by one, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
