Just as Rossi landed at the Bernabeu on a high-profile basis, the team was heading to Munich, Germany, for the Dior Cup.

At the Allianz Stadium, Real Madrid won 5-3 against Fenerbahce to finish third.

As a pre-season warm-up race, the ranking is irrelevant, and the run-in is the top priority.

After the Dior Cup, Zinedine Zidane led the team back to Madrid.

Half a month later, the new season of La Liga rekindled the fire.

Facing last season's big four and third in the league, Zidane is under a lot of pressure before the start of the new season.

Florentino fulfilled his promise to bring Rossi to the team in the summer window, and if he still doesn't score this season, then Zidane is set to leave.

On Saturday morning, the Real Madrid players began their first pre-season joint practice.

As the last player to join the team, Rossi gave a brief introduction to himself in front of all his teammates.

He and most of the players of Real Madrid have had a two-sided relationship in the Champions League final, and they are not strangers.

Among them, Hames is the one he knows best.

In Bayern's loan career, although James is not the absolute main force, he has performed well every time.

However, Bayern's new head coach did not like his lack of tough style of play, so he chose to give up the buyout after the loan expired.

This made Hames, who returned to Real Madrid, a little embarrassed.

Because coach Zidane doesn't like his style of play.

With a long bench and high salaries, other teams are daunted, and James will face years as a substitute in the coming year.

With the addition of Rossi, Zidane completed the final piece of the puzzle of his tactics.

Real Madrid's 25-man squad and numbers for this season have also been finalized.

Goalkeepers: 1-Areola, 13-Courtois.

Defenders: 2 Carvajal, 3 Militão, 4 Ramos (C), 5 Varane, 6 Nacho, 12 Marcelo, 19 Odriosola, 23 Mendy.

Midfielders: 8-Kroos, 10-Modric, 14-Casemiro, 15-Valverde, 16-James, 21-Dias, 22-Isco, 26-Odegaard.

Forwards: 7-Rossi, 11-Bale, 9-Benzema, 17-Vazquez, 24-Mariano, 25-Vinicius, 27-Rodrygo.

After a group photo of the coaching staff and players, the team was led by the physical trainer Pintus and began the physical reserve training for the new season.

A series of trainings such as jumping, balance, strength, agility, etc., followed by the hypoxic mask training method.

The players wear face masks with an air intake regulator inside that measures heart rate, pulse per minute, aerobic capacity of each player at peak performance, and more.

Vomit!

New signing Rodrigo, who was training too hard, vomited on the sidelines.

Also newcomers, Militão and Edouard Mendy also fell to their knees on the sidelines, gasping for air.

Odegaard, who was training with Real Madrid's first team for the first time, was hunched over, sweat dripping down his cheeks and his lips white.

A group of Real Madrid veterans crossed their hands on their waists and watched these newcomers "make a fool" with a smile.

When Pintus first arrived at Real Madrid, the first training session trained the Real Madrid superstars until they vomited.

Even the strong Cristiano Ronaldo could only hold out for 30 minutes before hurriedly resting.

It's only been 22 minutes now, and these newcomers have been vomited and dried, and the veteran players are very pleased.

What about Mr. Golden Ball, did he also vomit?

Just as everyone was looking for Rossi, they found that he was no longer on the training ground, but off the field, drinking water and talking to Zidane.

Why didn't he have anything at all?

Real Madrid will be muttering.

It's rare for a newcomer to retire from Pintus' first training session.

It seems that this Mr. Golden Ball, there is something.

"Ronaldo, it's nice to see you at Real Madrid's training ground, how does it feel?" Zidane's words and deeds all show his love for Rossi.

Although Rosie carried the first physical training session, her chest was still rising and falling violently, and it took a while before she replied: "Sir, the training session here is very different. ”

Zidane thought he wanted to say that the physical training was too harsh, and said with a smile: "Pintus is not only my good friend, but also a professional physical trainer, and soon you will find that your physical fitness has made a qualitative leap." ”

"That's why I feel so different." Rossi had excitement in his eyes.

Zidane saw it in his eyes and nodded: "There is still half a month before the new season, and I am looking forward to your rapid integration into Real Madrid and becoming the main force." ”

He wanted to say a few more words, but Pintus interrupted him.

"Luo, don't be lazy! Come on and move on to the next set! ”

"You guys, if you don't want to continue training, then wear a mask and run ten kilometers for me."

The veteran players booed in unison, looking at the joke on their faces.

After the morning workout session, there is time for lunch and lunch break.

Real Madrid is not a giant team, and the supporting facilities of the training base are very complete, so that the players can have a comfortable training environment.

In the afternoon, it is the special practice and team cooperation training of the individual players.

Before Rossi went on to practice specially, Pintus took the initiative to supervise and guide him.

He specially recustomized the training content for Rossi, which is to improve the ability to start explosive and agile to grab points.

"Luo, you barely passed the physical fitness class in the morning, don't be complacent first, in the training class, my requirements will be more stringent."

Pintus said with a serious expression.

"It's hard work!"

Rossi was still grinning, much to Pintus' surprise.

As the team's blockbuster reinforcement this summer, Rossi's addition is undoubtedly to fill the vacancy after Ronaldo's departure, take his place, and become the team's top scorer.

The chairman and the manager paid extra attention to him, and it was understandable.

However, Zidane asked Pintus to personally supervise Rossi's training, which is a bit biased.

He has always been impartial and selfless, but because of this arrangement, he has a little prejudice against Rosie.

Such prejudice made him particularly strict with Rossi when he supervised.

But what he didn't expect was that Rosie actually survived the morning physical fitness class.

In the afternoon special practice session, the other players had already started to complain when they saw their training programs.

But Rosie still grinned and grinned as a treat.

Pintus began to wonder if he was wrong about the kid.

"Coach, coach, can we start?"

Pintus, who was deep in thought, came to his senses when he heard Rossi's voice, and said, "Uh...... We're going to be a little bit more intense in the next session, so you do a few warm-ups with me to avoid injury. ”

"Yes!"

“……”

After a day's training session, Rosie dragged his tired body back to the hotel.

The new house will not be able to move in until the end of the month, and Pixie is in London for a shoot, so Rossi has to check in to the hotel first.

In the mailbox, there is an email from Zidane, which is the tactical system and personnel rotation of Real Madrid in recent years.

Zidane hopes to familiarize Rossi with the tactics class tomorrow.

Real Madrid at its peak, the attacking group led by the BBC paid attention to running and passing + rapid counterattack.

Real Madrid's defensive counterattack is the pursuit of an ultimate simple offensive method, from the beginning to the end of the attack, completed in more than ten seconds, everyone is a kick.

And Rossi studied it carefully and found that in each attack, all Real Madrid players were in a state of running, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the defender's marking.

Because you follow along, the rhythm falls into Real Madrid's control, and the formation is scattered.

During the period when Ronaldo left Real Madrid and Bale was injured, that is, last season, Real Madrid's forward offensive pressure was all on Benzema alone, and Zidane began to seek changes.

First of all, it is to give full play to the advantages of the midfield, with an average possession rate of more than 60% per game to ensure the initiative of the team's attack.

Then, through the rotation of multiple offensive systems, the offensive potential of each player was tapped, and the offensive pressure of the forward line was shared, which also created Real Madrid to have as many as 21 players in the team score last season.

However, the problem of the weakness of the front is accumulating.

This forced Zidane to be a scoring machine in terms of recruiting this summer.

Rossi is the key person who can bring Real Madrid back to the top.
