Juan House Rotisserie, a rotisserie located in the southwest of the European Gate on Castilla Avenue in Madrid.

Away from the main road and in the middle of nowhere, it's a nondescript but prestigious restaurant in Madrid.

The current King of Spain, Juan Carlos I, is a favourite to try the restaurant's most famous steak, and this historic rotisserie is also a favorite place frequented by Madrid's political and business celebrities, as well as a dining place for Real Madrid's stars.

But in the afternoon of this day, Juan's House Barbecue completely closed the entire second floor of the restaurant, and hung a sign that the second floor was full at the top of the staircase, apparently being booked in advance.

As night fell, luxury cars began to drive into the streets from Castilla Avenue and were parked in the parking spaces on both sides of the streets and alleys under the maintenance of order by the on-site security personnel.

One by one, the players of the Real Madrid first team, dressed in civilian clothes, stepped out of the car one after another and went straight to the barbecue.

Whether it is passers-by in the streets or customers dining in restaurants, it seems that they have become accustomed to such scenes.

It was only later that Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and others arrived at the same time, which slightly caused passers-by and customers, and even a few people took the initiative to greet them, hoping to take a group photo and sign autographs.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that this place was chartered by Real Madrid stars.

……

On Yang Yang's first day in Valdebebas, when Raul took him to get used to the training base and familiarize himself with the locker room, he pointed to a blackboard at the entrance of the locker room to explain its purpose.

It is said that this blackboard has been carried over from the time when the team was still in the old sports city to the present.

Every time the team has a team activity, it is written into a sticky note and pasted on this blackboard so that everyone who enters the locker room can easily see it.

Then the team went to Dublin, and then successively traveled to many countries in North America and Europe, until the past two days, returned to Madrid, after playing the Bernabeu Cup, the new season is about to start, Yang Yang suddenly remembered this blackboard.

So, just this morning, he posted his first note on the blackboard after joining Real Madrid.

"After this afternoon's training session, we will have a dinner and invite everyone to attend at Juan House Barbecue, Yangyang."

Throughout the day, the players and coaching staff saw the sticky note, but no one said anything or discussed anything.

But after the training session, they all spontaneously came to Juan House Barbecue.

This is the first time that Yang Yang has launched a dinner party after joining Real Madrid, including captain Raul and Guti, to several new players, everyone came without exception, and the members of the coaching staff basically came, only Benitez, who has always been cold, was absent, but he explained to Yang Yang after the training session.

He was so focused on preparing for the game against Deportivo La Coruna that he really couldn't find time.

This is undoubtedly an interesting tradition.

Yang Yang reserved the entire VIP room on the second floor, which was dedicated to entertaining Real Madrid's players and coaching staff, and also prepared the signature dishes of Juan House Grill, including their most famous steak and favorite steak of the King of Spain.

Everyone didn't ask why Yang Yang wanted to invite guests, they sat around the square table in groups of three or five when they came, and ate the food when it was served, and as the captain of the team, Raul was also a regular customer of this barbecue restaurant, and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of greeting teammates.

You can't drink alcohol, but you can eat more meat.

Since the team's summer training camp, everyone has begun to live like an ascetic, and now it is difficult to survive the summer training period, the new season is about to begin, and it is definitely not necessary to relax, but it is no problem to relax once in a while.

That's why the coaching staff allowed the team to have dinners.

It's a morale boost for the new season.

Yang Yang found a very legitimate reason, he thanked Raul and others for their help, as well as the support of his teammates, after he returned to Madrid, he officially moved into his new home, and the new season was about to start, so he invited everyone to eat, hoping that everyone can fight side by side in the new season and continue to work hard.

A meal was eaten and chatted, the scene was very lively, and the meal was also very enjoyable.

Yang himself is very satisfied, because he has been trying to get close to the local factions such as Raul, Guti, Casillas and Ramos, and he does not want another division in the dressing room of Real Madrid similar to the Ajax era.

Raul and others also have a very good impression of him, especially Raul, as the captain of the team, Yang Yang's new home renovation, he also contributed a lot, helped Yang Yang a lot, and the houses of the two are not far away, both in the core of La Morareja single-family villa area.

……

Gradually, the conversation shifted to the new season.

Many players are looking forward to the new season, and many believe that Real Madrid have the ability to challenge Barcelona for supremacy this season and hope to make a breakthrough in La Liga.

As for the Champions League, everyone's best hope is to make it out of the round of 16.

For a giant team like Real Madrid, the Champions League is full of unpredictability, but La Liga is easier to grasp, because in La Liga, the only team that really has the ability to challenge Real Madrid is Barcelona.

However, judging from the schedule of La Liga in the new season, Real Madrid does not dare to be careless.

"Affected by the World Cup in South Africa in 10 years, this season's La Liga schedule will be greatly reduced, the competition will become more compact, and the opponents in the first two rounds are not weak, at home against Deportivo La Coruna and away against Espanyol, both teams are hard stubble."

Super Laco, once under the leadership of Irueta, swept the limelight throughout European football, although it has declined a lot in recent years, but the strength of this team is still good, and the Riazor Stadium is still a famous devil's home stadium in Europe.

Interestingly, in the first round of the league last season, Real Madrid also played against Deportivo La Coruna, but that time it was away, and the result was a 1-2 loss, and the first round of this season met Deportivo La Coruna again, although it was at home, but it was still worrying.

The second round was against Espanyol.

This Catalan team is Barcelona's sworn enemy, but don't think that the enemy's enemy will become a comrade-in-arms, wrong, the Spaniards have always been hard stubble, whether it is playing Barcelona or Real Madrid, this team will do their best, every time there is a very good performance.

It should be easier to play Jerez in the third round and Tenerife in the fifth round, but it will still be troublesome to play Villarreal away in the fourth round and Sevilla away in the sixth round.

It is worth mentioning that as the highlight of La Liga every season, the first leg of the battle of the century between Real Madrid and Barcelona is at Camp Nou, which is on November 29, which coincides with the 110th anniversary of Barcelona's birth.

This will be a game-changing matchup in La Liga!

……

"The president of Deportivo La Coruna, Rondoiro, has publicly issued a war letter, threatening to defeat us again at the Bernabeu, and give us another blow that is no less terrible than the centennial celebrations." Raul said reluctantly.

Yang Yang couldn't help frowning a little after hearing this.

Real Madrid's centenary celebrations were a humiliation, as the Copa del Rey final was played at the Santiago Bernabeu that day, with Bosque's star-studded Real Madrid losing 2-1 to Deportivo La Coruna on their home turf.

Some people even believe that it was the defeat in that game that made Florentino finally sentence Bosque to death, so that at the end of the season, although Bosque led the team to win the championship, he still left the class.

Rondoiro revisited the centennial celebration at this time, obviously wanting to humiliate Real Madrid and at the same time hit Real Madrid's morale.

It was a centennial celebration, and this was the first time since the second phase of the Galacticos, and it would be terrible to lose to Deportivo La Coruna on their home turf.

"Don't worry, this is not the same as it used to be, and we will not give Deportivo the slightest chance now." After thinking about it for a while, Yang Yang smiled confidently.

Raul looked at Yang Yang deeply and nodded in agreement, "There is also the Champions League, which is also what we need to pay attention to this season, especially the next draw, which is very unfavorable to us." ”

Due to the poor results of the past few years, Real Madrid completely lost their seeding place and was relegated to Pot 2.

The eight seeded teams this season are Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Barcelona and Sevilla, while apart from their compatriots Barcelona and Sevilla, Real Madrid will certainly draw one of the top six teams.

There are also strong teams like Marseille, Atletico Madrid, and Fiorentina in the third pot, and there are four major league powerhouses like Wolfsburg in the fourth pot, so it is not impossible to come to a group of death.

So, to some extent, Real Madrid's pressure in the Champions League is also very high.

Yang Yang is well aware of the team's situation, but he believes in one thing more, that is......

"I think it's not us who should have the most headache, but the seeded teams, they definitely don't want to touch us, whoever touches us is unlucky, whether it's the Premier League or Serie A or the Bundesliga, as long as we play well, it's the same for everyone."

Yang Yang said with confidence and reasonableness.

With Real Madrid's investment this summer, coupled with Yang Yang's reputation, it would be a joke to say that the team is afraid of bumping into anyone.

No, in two days, the draw ceremony will be held at the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco, and although it has not yet begun, everyone already knows that Yang Yang will definitely be the number one winner of this event, and it is inevitable that he will win the two most valuable awards, because he led Liverpool to win the quadruple last season.

And now, the first person in world football has come to Real Madrid, coupled with the joining of powerful stars such as Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Robben, etc., the overall strength of Real Madrid is no longer the same.

"Let's not forget that our head coach Rafael Benitez has a nickname, the king of the cup!"

Everyone thought about it, didn't they?

Under Benitez, Liverpool have won three Champions Leagues in the last five years, including four last season.

"I have a hunch that the tenth Champions League is already in the near future and is beckoning to us." Yang Yang laughed.
