Chapter 299: Numbers and Locker Rooms

"My name is Lin Dong, I am from China, and I am a center forward" On the training ground of the first team of the Real Madrid Valdebebas training base, Lin Dong was pulled out by Mourinho alone to introduce himself.

"Welcome to Real Madrid" Casillas routinely stood up and welcomed Lin Dong, although this action had already been done in the dressing room just now.

Since it is the first day of gathering, according to the convention, everyone wants to report to the team doctor, but some players, in fact, do not need to report to the team doctor, they can see whether they are in good shape, because more than a month of indulgence is enough to change the embodiment of some people.

For example, Higuain, Di Maria and Marcelo, Brazilians and Argentines love barbecue, no, it should be said that they eat barbecue the same as Chinese rice, but barbecue is absolutely taboo for athletes.

After the medical examination, Mourinho's face was not very good-looking, and in the past season, Real Madrid won the La Liga championship after a three-year absence, so the players were more indulgent during the vacation.

Even those players who participated in the European Cup, the state is not much better, of course, Lin Dong is an outlier, after seeing Lin Dong's physical examination data, Mourinho can't help but appreciate Lin Dong more.

Because all the attributes of Lin Dong are kept in the best condition, what does this mean? Needless to say, even in the end, the Real Madrid players were a little disbelieving in the data in Mourinho's hands.

But soon, even if they don't want to believe it in their hearts, they can only believe it, because in the face of Mourinho's hellish training, Lin Dong actually completed it with ease, and it is conceivable that the authenticity of this data can be imagined.

Of course, through this training camp, it can be regarded as a preliminary recognition of this group of arrogant teammates, after all, Lin Dong has experienced a ban for half a year, and has been in the world of flowers in the entertainment industry, but Lin Dong can actually keep his physical condition at the peak.

For such a Lin Dong, the group of players in Real Madrid don't know what to describe him except for perverts.

However, it is Mourinho who is more satisfied, Lin Dong is introduced by him, and will even occupy an extremely important role in his tactics, although Mourinho said that he trusts Lin Dong very much, but Lin Dong has not been proven on the court after all, and he has been away from the field for so long.

More than a week of intensive hellish training ended quickly, and the physical condition of the Real Madrid players slowly recovered, and with the recovery of the players' physical condition, the friendly match was officially put on the agenda.

However, the style of the giants is different from that of ordinary teams, and when they were in Lazio, Lazio's friendly matches were basically against downstream teams, even teams near Rome.

However, Real Madrid's next friendly match will go to the United States, which is obviously much higher, and several friendly matches are across an Atlantic.

Of course, a large part of the reason for this is to expand the influence of the sport and Real Madrid, after all, the United States is known as a football desert, although there has been a little progress.

However, before going out, Lin Dong's jersey needs to be determined, because this is what Mourinho promised Lin Dong, and before he officially plays, he will hand over the No. 9 jersey to Lin Dong.

When Mourinho officially appeared on the No. 9 jersey on Lin's hand, the expressions of the Real Madrid players present changed a lot.

Some people are thoughtful, some are frowning, and some are gloating, and they have more expectations for this trip to the United States, because the original owner of this number is now waiting in the United States to join the team.

In this regard, Lin Dong did not say anything, after more than a week of getting along, Lin Dong has roughly figured out the situation in the dressing room of Real Madrid.

The Real Madrid dressing room is mainly divided into three forces, the largest of which is the Portuguese gang led by Ronaldo, and the main players who are in his group are Real Madrid's attacking players.

For example, Benzema, Di Maria, Ozil and others, which is why Ronaldo can compete with Messi and score so crazy.

In addition to these people, there are also Pepe, Coentrão and others, who are also from Portugal.

Carvalho, who is also Portuguese, is a veteran who is not involved, or rather, he is a close confidant of Mourinho.

The second major force is Real Madrid's Spanish players, as local players, but they do not have the greatest say in the dressing room, you can imagine the depressed mood of these Spaniards.

In contrast to the Portuguese gang, the Spanish gang's players mainly maintained the central midfield, led by captain Casillas and vice-captain Ramos.

Originally, Kaka should have had the opportunity to form another major force, commonly known as the South American Gang, but unfortunately, Kaka is a tragedy in Real Madrid, so he is naturally not so idle to form his own forces.

Therefore, the rest of the people can only rely on Mourinho as the head coach of the team, such as Morata, Marcelo, Khedira, Higuain, but Higuain is not counted now.

Obviously, the new signing Lin Dong must belong to Mourinho's cronies, which is why Real Madrid's players have performed differently.

As Mourinho's cronies, they naturally hope that Mourinho can firmly control the dressing room, but unfortunately, the current Mourinho squad does not have a decisive player.

Of course, although the locker room is like the Three Kingdoms, these people know very well that they are a whole, they are both prosperous and losing, so they are still teammates who cooperate happily and even good friends without touching each other's bottom line.

With the determination of the Lin Dong number, the official website of Real Madrid also officially announced a message that at the request of the players themselves, Benzema's jersey number for the new season will be changed to No. 11.

As for the No. 9 jersey, it was handed over to the newly signed Chinese center Lin Dong.

As soon as the official website announced the news, the fans stopped doing it, Real Madrid's No. 9 shirt has a glorious tradition, Paino, Di Stefano, Santilana, Sanchez, Ronaldo and other first-class strikers defend Real Madrid's No. 9 honor.

But now, the No. 9 number has been handed over to Lin in the presence of an owner, and it is clear that the fans do not believe that it was Benzema's own volition.

The fans didn't believe it, let alone the media, which first hyped one side in the newspapers and then asked Benzema.

However, Benzema disappointed the media, and the Frenchman arrogantly told the media reporters who came to ask him that the 9th was indeed what he did not want.

He prefers the number 11 to the number 9 because he wore it in his first season at Real Madrid.

But is that really the case? Maybe only Benzema himself knows best, and it's not right, in fact, there are still people who know the real inside story, but they will never say it.

As for the other Real Madrid players, they can tell from Benzema's attitude towards Lin Dong whether what he said is true or not.
