"What are they trying to do?"

At UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, Platini pointed to the newspapers in front of him and asked the UEFA officials in front of him.

In just two or three days, La Liga, Atletico Madrid, and Yang Hao made moves one after another, and the public opinion outside has completely exploded.

Even the New York Times in the United States is reporting.

Public opinion in Spain has been ignited.

They feel that in the past few years, UEFA has deliberately suppressed La Liga.

This season's Champions League quarter-finals draw and Europa League quarter-final draw are the best proof of this.

It's all a La Liga civil war!

But in the end, the Champions League and Europa League were taken away by Villarreal.

In the words of the Spanish media and fans mocking UEFA, no matter how dark you are, the championship still belongs to La Liga.

The strength is there, you can't handle it!

But as the president of UEFA, Platini doesn't care about the public opinion of ordinary people at all, he cares about one thing.

This fire has been lit, what does the other party want to do, and how to deal with the aftermath next?

"According to the information we have received from the Spanish side, this La Liga meeting was held on an ad hoc basis, and the promoters were Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Deportivo La Coruna and Villarreal.

Secretary-General Gianni Infantino sat next door to Platini, presenting the latest information he had.

"The strongest teams in La Liga are all involved?" Platini was still a little surprised.

I didn't expect La Liga to be so united this time.

For a long time, UEFA has been holding the top giants of major leagues, and a very important bargaining chip is the middle and lower teams.

In the Premier League, for example, the interests of BIG4 and other teams are not very aligned.

So a lot of things are hard to agree on in the Premier League.

Teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal have not protested against UEFA in the past, and neither Ferguson nor Arsene Wenger have scolded many times, but it was not Platini at the time.

Does it work?

Seldom.

Why?

Because the Premier League doesn't come forward!

But now the situation is that La Liga has stepped in.

"When did they become so united?" Platini was puzzled.

Infantino shook his head and smiled wryly, "Atletico Madrid now has a higher prestige in Spain than Real Madrid and Barcelona, and is more supported by those middle and lower teams, who all regard Atletico Madrid as their leader. ”

Platini frowned, "Because of the reform? ”

"Yes, now the situation in La Liga is getting better and better, and La Liga has also benefited a lot, the key is the reform initiated by Atletico Madrid back then, which was actually not particularly obvious back then, but now looking back, that reform completely established Atletico Madrid's status in Spain."

Platini's brow furrowed.

He was elected president of UEFA by defeating Johansson in early '07, and it was not these football powers that supported him to ascend to power, but the football associations of small and medium-sized countries with more votes in their hands.

They can pick Platini and they can choose someone else.

Therefore, in order for Platini to fulfill the promise he made at the beginning, in addition to benefiting the football associations and clubs of small and medium-sized countries, it is very important to suppress the top league.

This is a task that tests his wrist very much, and the requirement is to fight without breaking.

Platini did a great job, and in '08, he reached an agreement with the G14 to force the G14 to disband through the international subsidy, which completely eradicated the problem that had plagued UEFA for many years.

This brought his political popularity in European football to its zenith, while also giving Platini an eye on the next possibility.

Another institution based in Switzerland, FIFA!

But now, things have changed.

"What did the lawyer say?" Platini's main concern is La Liga's decision.

"I've studied with the team of lawyers, and it's hard to say how legally effective our understanding agreement is, but if La Liga has to be dissolved, we really can't do anything about them."

"We have no way to interfere with their domestic schedule, and even if we win this time, they can't lift it, but in terms of specific implementation, we will definitely do everything we can to give all kinds of force majeure to stop it."

"Don't forget, our understanding agreement has a contract term, and by 2012, it will be renewed, and if they don't sign it, we can't do it." Infantino is a UEFA lawyer by training and is familiar with the laws and regulations.

"When it comes to this matter, if La Liga really doesn't want to do it, the most likely thing to do is that we get a little compensation and they terminate the agreement."

Platini rubbed his brow with some headache.

Maybe many fans don't notice a detail, that is, the Champions League, European Cup, World Cup and other events often occupy a certain point in time.

In other words, during that period of time, there was only one event in the world.

In other words, there is only one event in Europe.

The greatest benefit of this exclusive monopoly is the maximization of commercial benefits.

It's not just ratings, it's commercial sponsorship, it's all about other things.

But what if a gap is opened?

Okay, UEFA can't do anything with Spain, okay, La Liga began to schedule the cup at the same time as the Champions League.

What about the Premier League's League Cup and FA Cup?

What about the cups of the Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and other leagues?

Even in the future, will there be a league that will also arrange to play the Champions League?

Many people will feel that the Copa del Rey will not affect the Champions League.

Yes, but it's temporary.

What if the Copa del Rey is put on the run?

Taking another 10,000 steps back, it's not a question of whether the influence is enough to challenge the Champions League, it's a question of exclusivity.

When you lose this uniqueness, the value is greatly reduced.

Not to mention the problem that over time, the influence will be gradually weakened.

In the past, countries dealt with UEFA, either through the Football Association or, as in the case of the G14, speaking out in a group, which could affect UEFA, but did not directly touch UEFA's interests.

But now, things have changed.

La Liga seems to be aware that it has a weapon in its hands against UEFA.

What's more, these weapons are not only available in La Liga, but also in the hands of the Premier League, Serie A and Bundesliga.

That's the trickiest part of the whole thing.

Platini was well aware that he had to put the turmoil to rest as quickly as possible.

Before the major leagues react, the matter will be completely downplayed and the impact will be minimized.

"What about Bilal? What did he say? Platini thought of the president of the Spanish Football Federation.

He is also the vice-president of UEFA and the chairman of the referee committee.

After the game at Old Trafford, Bilal approached Platini, but Platini reassured him.

'I called him, he was on the board of directors of La Liga in Madrid and talked to those directors and flew to Switzerland yesterday.

"In Geneva?" Platini asked curiously.

"No, I said I flew to Zurich first."

Zurich?

Once in Geneva, you'll soon be at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon.

But to Zurich, that's the headquarters of FIFA.

Platini's heart fluttered, and he had a sense of foreboding.

"Call him and say...... I want to meet him. ”

……

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the president of the Spanish Football Federation, Bilal, arrived belatedly.

"I'm sorry, Michelle, but there's something I need to deal with on the FIFA side, so I've been waiting for a long time."

Bilal is still as "enthusiastic" as ever.

Platini waited for a day, somewhat anxious, but he would never lose his temper if he could get to his current status.

"It's okay, I just think that some misunderstandings can't be explained clearly on the phone, and they must be clarified and communicated face-to-face."

After beckoning Bilal to sit down, Platini did not go directly to the topic, but asked about Zurich, for example, what did Blatter think about it?

Joseph is reluctant to interfere in UEFA's internal affairs, but he said that the disagreements within UEFA will not affect the participation of Spanish and Spanish clubs in FIFA competitions, and he is confident that UEFA will be able to handle them.

Platini heard it.

Blatter wants to put himself in a neutral position, and even if necessary, he will probably stand up and coordinate all parties and be a peacemaker, but this in itself is to stand on top of UEFA's head.

The relationship between the FIFA president and the UEFA president has always been very delicate.

In his early years, Johansson had a very bad relationship with Blatter.

Now, although Platini and Blatter are close friends, in fact, the relationship between the two is also very delicate.

Blatter is 73 years old, and Platini's desire to replace him has never been hidden.

As for what the outside world said, what Blatter supported Platini to succeed, this is nonsense!

The best honeymoon period of the relationship between the two was the moment Platini killed Johansson, after which the relationship began to decline, because Platini would not be bound and controlled by Blatter.

Of course, the two are still in a delicate situation of fighting but not breaking.

With this statement of FIFA, Bilal should have made some efforts, right?

Platini glanced at the president of the Spanish Football Federation, but said nothing.

"I want to know, is La Liga sure it wants to lift the understanding?" Platini asked with concern.

Bilal suddenly showed a bitter expression, "I was there at the time, and I explained a lot to them, but I couldn't convince them that this time the decision of the La Liga league was unanimously passed." ”

Platini's heart fluttered.

He didn't believe what Bilal said.

Because Bilal wears a pair of pants with La Liga, the Spanish Football Federation can get a share of the broadcast rights of La Liga every year, and the better La Liga is, the better the Spanish Football Federation will follow.

"What's your plan after it's lifted?" Platini asked.

Bilal shook his head, "It's not clear yet, but it's said that the Copa del Rey may add events, and many sponsors, including Emirates, and some broadcasters, are interested in the Copa del Rey." ”

After a pause, Bilal smiled again and said: "You know, the preseason of La Liga is also very prosperous now. ”

Speaking of this, Platini's face is not very good-looking.

La Liga's pre-season has been really good, and it's getting better and better.

But the problem is that it has nothing to do with UEFA.

"Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia really want to regroup the G14?" Platini asked again.

Bilal smiled wryly and spread his hands, "I really don't know about this." ”

Platini looked at the old fox deeply, trying to see if he really didn't know.

As a result, nothing can be seen.

Platini knows very well that whether it is La Liga or G14, this head must not be opened!

He was starting to get anxious.

"Can you help me arrange it, I want to meet with the people of Atletico Madrid and Yang Hao."

Platini sensitively grasped the heart of the matter.

Bilal certainly had no problem and even made a phone call on the spot.

As a result, the phone called, and Cerezo said that he and Hill Jr. had gone to South Africa.

What to do in South Africa?

Playing in the Confederations Cup?

Oh, by the way, La Liga has signed an agreement with the South Africa World Cup Organising Committee to schedule Atletico's pre-season matches in South Africa this year, as well as the Sheets Army's training camp in South Africa.

If you call Yang Hao again, you won't be there.

"You're not going to take your little girlfriend on vacation, are you?" Bilal was joking on the phone.

"I just came back from Holland and I'm having dinner with Zinedine Zidane in Paris, France." Yang Hao didn't elaborate on what to do on the phone.

Platini watched Bilal hang up the phone, and when he got an answer, his face sank.

Obviously, Atletico don't want to see him.

……

Lanisyl Marn.

This should be a small town in the eastern suburbs of Paris that is hard to find on a map.

But every year, countless Parisians and tourists pass by, but they tend to ignore this slum-like suburban town of African descent.

All of their attention will fall to Disneyland Paris, not far to the east.

His mother, Molliba, used to say that Disneyland Paris opened in April, and that he came to the world in March of the following year.

"You must have heard the news of Disneyland and couldn't wait to get into your mother's belly."

But Paul Pogba's life has not been easy since he was a child.

His father, Antoine, was an unsuccessful professional footballer who began teaching them to play when they were very young.

Antoine often taught them that playing professional football is a good path to promotion for families like theirs.

Paul Pogba also has two twin brothers, and the three brothers always play together.

When he was 3 years old, his parents divorced, Antoine left the family, and his mother, Molliba, had to raise the three brothers and his two cousins alone.

But no matter how hard it is, Moliba still supports her children to get football training.

There are no good teams near Ranisylman, so they have to go to Roisibry, a dozen kilometres to the south, where there are a lot of children from Africa who specialise in teaching people to play.

The twin brothers, Florentin and Matthias, are both talented, with Florentin playing as a centre-back and Matthias as a centre-forward, both of whom are tall and strong, and have always been Roisibry's best players.

Pogba began training at the age of six with his twin brother in Roissibry.

When he was 13 years old, his 16-year-old twin brother played in the eastern suburbs of Paris and was noticed by many teams, so they both went to play for La Liga powerhouse Celta Vigo.

That's a strong team at the top of La Liga.

Pogba was very envious, and he also moved from Roissibry to Torsi, which was closer to home, after the departure of his two older brothers, but he only stayed in Torsi for a year.

In '07, Celta Vigo, where the two older brothers played, were relegated from La Liga, and they followed the team to La Liga.

Pogba was favored by many French teams with his performance in the eastern suburbs of Paris, and finally went to the academy in the western French city of Le Havre to continue his training.

In order to get Pogba, Le Havre also had a fight with Tolsi, but in the end Le Havre won.

For the next two years, Pogba lived in Le Havre's dormitory, playing with all his peers, and was named to the French Under-16 squad in '08, where he captained the team with his outstanding performances.

In the summer of 09, the 16-year-old Pogba attracted the attention of many European giants with his outstanding performances in Le Havre and the French U16 national junior team, and it became hot for a while.

But it was also around this time that both of his older brothers were dismissed by Celta Vigo in La Liga, citing that their performances at the club were not up to the club's requirements.

But Pogba and his family know that the main thing is because of the style of life.

Florentin was a good player, and after leaving Spain, he quickly passed a trial and was offered a contract in the youth team of Ligue 2, but his brother Matthias was not so lucky.

He's still trying out here and there, and he doesn't know where he's going to go.

And Le Havre, where Pogba is located, have also been relegated from Ligue 1.

All three brothers' football journeys have been turned around this summer, with only the 16-year-old Pogba still looking to have a glimmer of hope.

But where to go next is a big question hanging over Pogba's family.

Not long ago, Ferguson personally came to the eastern suburbs of Paris to talk to them about Manchester United's optimism and importance to Pogba in their old dilapidated home in Laneschel Marne, hoping to recruit the talented French midfielder to join.

This makes both parents very satisfied.

The likes of Arsenal and Chelsea have promised lucrative pay packages, but they have been cautious.

Antoine, who is a professional footballer, knows very well that with Pogba's current situation, he should develop steadily, as long as he concentrates on playing the ball well, it is not difficult to make money.

Just when they were leaning more towards Manchester United, agent Gail Maher made a phone call.

The next day, agent Geir Maher drove to the door of Pogba's home in Lanisurman.

Although Antoine and Molliba are divorced, they have always decided the development and choices of their children together, and they are both at this time.

And Pogba also went out to greet him.

He saw that behind Gail Maher's broken Peugeot, there was another luxury car.

Soon, three people got out of the car.

A very beautiful and fashionably dressed young lady, as soon as she got out of the car, it seemed as if the air around her exploded.

The other two came down, one more astonishing than the other.

Atletico Madrid's head coach Yang Hao, and French football superstar, Zinedine Zidane.

Oh my God, why are they together?

Pogba was a little dumbfounded.

Zinedine Zidane, that's his idol!

As a professional player, he actually has many idols, including Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Henry, Cisse and so on.

But his favourites are Zinedine Zidane and Kaka.

Because they all play in midfield.

"Hello, Paul." Yang Hao stepped forward with a smile.

Pogba was surprised.

His father, Antoine, and his mother, Molliba, greeted him.

After meeting, Yang Hao and the others were welcomed into their shabby old building.

……

Don't look at Zidane as a famous legend of Real Madrid, but in fact, Yang Hao has a good personal relationship with Zidane.

And after retiring, Zidane is free, and he can often contact Yang Hao.

Even, he occasionally goes to watch Atletico Madrid's games.

The reason why Yang Hao made a special trip to pull Zidane over this time was really a coincidence.

He had travelled to the Netherlands with Miriam Leone, met with Virgil van Dijk, signed the Dutch centre-back to Atletico Madrid, and then moved south to Paris, France.

Zidane happened to be in Paris, so he made an appointment with Yang Hao for dinner.

Yang Hao saw that he was idle, and just thought of Pogba's idol again, isn't Zidane?

So, he pulled Zidane on the way.

When meeting, Yang Hao first expressed his appreciation and affirmation for Pogba on behalf of Atletico Madrid.

He told Antoine and Molliba that Pogba has very high potential and talent, and that he should go to the best and most formal teams in the academy to be further developed and polished.

"I can say with great confidence that there is no club in European football that is better at developing young players than we at Atletico." When Yang Hao said this, he was still very confident.

For Pogba, Yang Hao did not analyze it carefully and deeply, but used a very vivid statement.

"He should play like Zinedine Zidane and Kaka!"

Antoine and Molliba were shocked.

They knew that their son had high potential, and others, including Ferguson, praised Pogba a lot, but it was the first time that Yang Hao said with such certainty.

But Yang Hao also raised a lot of questions, including that Pogba still has a lot of important things to do if he wants to become a professional footballer.

For example, he needs to make himself more disciplined, he needs to develop better playing habits, he needs to improve his culture and in turn make himself better.

Yang Hao feels that although Pogba in his previous life suffered a big hole in Manchester United, he has a lot of problems, especially at the personality level, plus his brother who is a pit brother, Matthias.

In general, if Pogba wants to become a talent, there are still many obstacles.

Yang Hao introduced Atletico Madrid's youth training in detail, including the cultivation and care of young players, as well as some things in life, as well as the positioning of Pogba.

When he arrives at Atletico, he will go straight to the second team, and if he performs well, he can enter the first team.

This is undoubtedly a great stimulus for them.

That's Atletico!

The best club in world football at the moment!

Although Atletico Madrid have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the second year in a row, there will be absolutely no doubt about Atletico's quality.

Being able to play for Atletico Madrid is something many players dream of.

What's more, he was also able to get close to his idol Kaka, as well as Pogba's other favorite player, Messi.

Therefore, after hearing Yang Hao's words, Pogba almost didn't write his promise on his face.

On the contrary, it was his parents who behaved more restrained and rational, and asked Yang Hao a lot of questions.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, they did not express their position on the spot, but said that they would seriously consider it.

As for their demands, a signing fee of 200,000 euros, 100,000 euros each for father and mother, and a house on the outskirts of Madrid, these are all acceptable for Atletico.

Yang Hao even told Antoine and Molliba, "As long as you agree, we will arrange someone to contact Le Havre." ”

"We at Atletico are different from other clubs, we don't poach people on the sly, we want our players to leave the club that developed them in an open and honest way."

This surprised Antoine and Molliba.

Clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are willing to give them money in the hope of getting Pogba for free from Le Havre.

But now it seems that Yang Hao is planning to pay a training fee to Le Havre and take Pogba away.

Both of them were a little moved after hearing this, obviously satisfied with Atletico's approach.

No one wants to sneak away.

But they don't know that Yang Hao is actually avoiding risks for Atletico Madrid by doing this.

Directly docking with Le Havre, the two sides negotiated, and the compensation may not be 1 million euros, about 780,000 euros, plus other expenses, all of which are less than 2 million euros.

This is completely affordable for Atletico.

In Yang Hao's previous life, after Manchester United poached Pogba in private, he was threatened by Le Havre to sue FIFA and UEFA.

Prior to that, Chelsea had been penalised for poaching Ligue 1 player Kakuta.

Therefore, Manchester United was quite nervous, and finally lost a large amount of money to Le Havre, the exact amount, no one knows, at least seven figures.

Therefore, before Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid poached people, they would have a professional team of lawyers to conduct compliance checks to ensure that everything was legal.

Atletico's legal team has said that Pogba still needs to pay money in this situation to avoid trouble.

Moreover, the reputation of Atletico Madrid is also relatively good.

……

"How do I feel like I'm being used by you?"

On the way back to the center of Paris, Zidane complained to Yang Hao.

Although he didn't speak the whole time, Pogba asked him for an autograph and a group photo, saying that he was a die-hard fan.

Zidane realized now that Yang Hao asked him to go to the platform.

"Don't say it's so ugly, okay? What is utilization? ”

Yang Hao laughed, "In this way, if Pogba is kicked out in the future, I will tell everyone that he joined Atletico Madrid because of Zidane's recommendation, do you think this is good?" ”

Zidane was stunned for a moment, and almost didn't fight with Yang Hao.

"Are you trying to kill me?"

There were four people in the car, including the driver, and they all couldn't stop laughing.

Zinedine Zidane is a famous legend of Real Madrid, Florentino's best friend, if he helps Atletico Madrid poach Pogba is made public, then what do Real Madrid fans think of him?

"I'm telling you, no one is allowed to say anything about this." Zidane was a little weak-hearted.

He felt that he had been cheated by Yang Hao.

As soon as he saw Zidane's appearance, Yang Hao immediately laughed, "Then, you don't want to be known by Real Madrid fans, right?" ”

I don't know why, seeing Yang Hao's expression of wanting to blackmail, Zidane felt furious.

This expression, this tone, how do you seem to have seen it in which movie?

"What do you want to do?" Zidane asked warily.

"Treat, you have to treat." Yang Hao confidently made a request.

Zidane almost cried.

Why did I accompany you to poach a player, who was used by you, and now you are going to be blackmailed, is there any king in this world?

I...... I promised you, can't you?

……

When Yang Hao returned to Madrid from Paris, France, he received a message from Little Hill as soon as possible.

The president of the Spanish Football Federation, Bilal, said that Platini wanted to meet him and clear up the misunderstanding in person.

Yang Hao didn't care about this at all.

In his opinion, many things are that there is no turning back when the bow is opened.

Once this war with UEFA starts, it cannot be stopped, and UEFA must make concessions and compromises.

Of course, at this stage, it is unrealistic to want to force UEFA to do how it is, or even to drum up the European Super League.

The so-called European Super League has always been just a bargaining chip for the big clubs to negotiate with UEFA.

If you really want to do that, not many teams are willing to play with Atletico.

Including La Liga and La B.

To put it bluntly, the world is bustling for profit.

Yang Hao wants to unite the majority of people, but in the end, he has to rely on the binding of interests.

The simplest thing, what is the benefit of lifting the table of the Champions League?

What everyone wants to do most is actually to restrain UEFA, constantly restrain and enhance the club's voice in the Champions League and European competitions.

It's a bit like the Premier League and the FA, La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation, it's all the same thing.

The difference is that UEFA is much stronger than the FA and the Spanish Football Federation.

And one of the interesting points here is that the president of the Spanish Football Federation, Bilal, is also the vice president of UEFA.

But this time Bilal said that he really didn't know about the referee.

According to Cerezo, Bilal hopes to use this incident to chop up Platini's hand in the UEFA referee committee and reduce his power.

Whether it is Florentino, Laporta or Cerezo, they all hope that one day, Bilal can really take full control of the referee committee, and he does not need to take special care of La Liga, just maintain appropriate fairness.

Why?

Because if you want to fight with UEFA, you still need the help of other leagues.

Creating a level playing field, getting rid of UEFA's "claws", and everyone relying on real skills to compete, this is the long-term solution.

Yang Hao has one more thing that he hasn't told anyone, that is, it appeared in his previous life, Blatter and Platini and others were all dismissed because of corruption.

Bilal himself is not clean, and is in league with Platini, Blatter and others, but at the same time intrigues with each other.

All in all, from FIFA to UEFA, I really didn't see anything clean.

But anyway, Platini's side, Yang Hao doesn't want to see it for the time being.

……

After arriving in Madrid, Yang Hao began to be busy with the affairs of the Spanish national team.

This time, the team went to South Africa, and Yang Hao's 23-man roster was announced on June 1.

Yang Hao attended the press conference and answered some questions about the Spanish national team.

Goalkeepers: Casillas, Reina and Diego López;

Defence: Ramos, Arbeloa, Antonio López, Capdevilla, Puyol, Pepe and Albiol;

Midfielders: Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Xavi Alonso, Marcos Senna, David Silva, Cesc Fabregas, Cazorla, Sergio Busquets and Juan Mata;

Forwards: Villa, Torres, Llorente, Reyes.

These 23 people basically follow Yang Hao's previous team, and they are also players who have performed well in recent times.

Yang Hao originally wanted to recruit Pique, but after the season, Pique had a muscle tear in his left leg, although Villarreal said that he would be out for half a month, but the specific situation is difficult to say.

Yang Hao specially arranged for Parales to go to Villarreal to check Pique's injury, and came to the conclusion that he might not be able to recover in half a month, so Yang Hao did not recruit Pique.

There is one less centre-back, but since Ramos can also play centre-back, it is not much of a problem.

Juan Mata has been in fine form for Valencia and Yang will be hoping the youngster can bring some changes to the national team's attacking side and front.

If nothing else, it could well be Marcos Senna's last major tournament for the national team.

After playing in the Confederations Cup, Marcos Senna is 33 years old, and by the time of next year's World Cup in South Africa, he will be almost 34.

At the press conference, Yang Hao expressed his confidence in the Confederations Cup.

The three major European bookmakers are also the most optimistic about Spain and have the lowest odds, followed by Brazil and Argentina.

As things stand, almost everyone is bullish on these three powerhouses, especially Spain and Brazil.

This is most likely the first time Yang Hao has met Dunga.

Back then, when Yang Hao first took office, Dunga fired at him.

3 years have passed, and Yang Hao finally has a chance to say hello to him.

However, that will at least have to wait until the semi-finals.

……

Spain has basically continued the old rules.

When reporting to Las Rozas Sports City, everyone went directly to Atletico Madrid's Mahada Honda for a detailed physical examination, and after getting the players' physical examination reports, Yang Hao arranged to start arranging their training camp.

Ahead of the Confederations Cup, the Spanish Football Federation arranged a warm-up match.

But it's also a bit of a problem, because the other teams are playing on the periphery of the World Cup, so the opponent in this warm-up match can only choose Azerbaijan, who did not have a qualifier.

The strength is not strong, it is located in the Middle East, and after playing, it will go directly south to South Africa, and the itinerary is quite suitable.

In the process of physical examination, including Puyol, David Silva and others, some injuries were more or less detected, but basically it will not affect the next Confederations Cup.

Some are even old patients, so Yang Hao did not change people again.

Since the league has just ended, and Real Madrid has only played the Champions League final for three or four days, this training camp is mainly focused on adjusting physical fitness and condition.

After a week of secret training at Las Rozas Sports City, the team left for Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.

At the Bakalamov Stadium in Baku, Spain played a warm-up match against the Azerbaijani national team.

Yang Hao is still the old rule, dealing with two different sets of tactics in the first half and the second half.

Because Spain has just finished physical training, their form has not yet adjusted, and they have traveled a long way, so in the first half of this game, Spain played very poorly, especially at the beginning.

The gap between the opponent's strength and Spain is very large, but it can't stand up to the home game, and it is waiting for work.

One of the best examples of Spain's form is Villa and Torres each hitting the post.

It's all a little bit worse.

But after half an hour of familiarization, Spain gradually got into shape.

First, Arbeloa's cross from the right was headed over by Torres and Villa scored.

It was David Silva who passed the ball and Villa scored a brace.

Towards the end of the first half, Andres Iniesta burst into the box with the ball and scored.

In the second half, Yang Hao almost replaced everyone.

Reyes scored another goal for Spain in the 67th minute, 4-0!

Four minutes later, Ramos crossed from the right and Llorente hit the goal with a header, 5-0!

Then, in the 87th minute, Sergio Busquets sent in a through ball that Juan Mata scored.

In the end, Spain beat Azerbaijan 6-0.

Winning this warm-up game is a reasonable thing for Spain, but there are also a lot of problems exposed in the game, including the state of the players is not excited enough, including the team's lack of smooth coordination in the attack, etc.

For example, in the first half hour of the game, Spain controlled the situation with excellent passing, but were unable to find the back of the net.

The lack of points is also an old problem in Spain.

Yang Hao told the players that the strength of the three opponents in the group stage this time is not strong, and it will be the norm for Spain to control the overall situation, but how to turn the advantage into goals will be a big test for Spain.

After the warm-up match, Spain departed from Azerbaijan and took a special plane south to Johannesburg, South Africa.

At this time, it is a hot summer in the Middle East, but a cold winter in South Africa.

Upon arrival, the team headed to Rustenburg, west of Johannesburg.

The city is famous for its platinum mining, and Spain's first group stage match, Argentina, will be played here.

When the team arrived, it was still raining and the temperature was cold.

Even more embarrassing for the team, two hours after arriving in Rustenburg, the team began their first training session.

According to team leader Hierro, the team's training ground was originally arranged in a rugby field, and the field conditions were so bad that even mushrooms grew in the grass.

In the end, it was he who stepped forward and mediated with the organizers in South Africa, and finally temporarily changed to the current venue.

The conditions are still not as good as those in Spain, but they can only be barely satisfied.

Fortunately, after the first round, Spain will leave Rustenburg and move to Bloemfontein.
