Chapter 1296
"Rookie combination?"

When Yang Yang played the warm-up match with Real Madrid from Australia and moved to Guangzhou, China, he was interviewed by Alvaro Rosa, the team reporter of Aspen in the hotel, and he couldn't help laughing after hearing the criticism from the Daily Sports newspaper.

"I think what he said is right, we are indeed rookies." Yang Yang replied with a laugh, not paying attention at all.

Alvaro Rosa couldn't help but smile. There are indeed a lot of criticism from the outside world, and there are also loud voices criticizing Real Madrid's sluggish state. But in fact, within Real Madrid, they have long been psychologically prepared for this, and the complaints of many players are also understandable.

For example, there are many media reports that Real Madrid players are criticizing the coaching staff for their pre-season training. This is true, and it is also allowed by the club, because letting players complain is also a channel to vent their emotions, but the premise is that it does not affect the unity in the locker room.

What's more, many players' remarks were in the early days of the training camp, and the training at that time was really too hard.

As a team reporter, Alvaro Rosa has personally experienced the change in the mentality of Real Madrid players.

Let's put it this way, if he went to the team to conduct a questionnaire survey on the first-team players, it is estimated that most players would still bombard Pintus' training, but if they were allowed to choose by themselves, they would probably choose to obey the arrangements of the coaching staff.

The reason is simple, they have seen Pintus' ability firsthand.

In the words of Yang Yang motivating his teammates on the training ground, "What a 53-year-old old man can do, are we ashamed to say that we can't do it?"

The answer is, no, you can't even admit that you can't do it.

All professional players are full of blood and have a strong competitive spirit. They must not allow themselves to be inferior to a 53-year-old old man, so everyone holds back their energy and wants to prove that they are not bad.

This is probably not even thought of by Pintus himself.

But none of these can be reported in the media, at least not in the short term.

"Yang, don't you plan to say something?" Alvaro Rosa asked with a frown.

As a reporter, he also needs to communicate.

Yang Yang understood, thought for a while and said, "I think what they said is correct. Zidane and I are indeed rookie coaches. I have no coaching experience before, and Zidane is the first time to be on his own. It is really easy for us two rookies to mess up."

After a pause, Yang Yang changed the subject, "But we Chinese also have a saying, don't bully a young man to be poor, which means that you should not bully a young man because he is poor, because it is uncertain when he will flourish and soar into the sky."

"Just like me and Zidane, we are both rookies, but we are very young, and we have not yet proved ourselves. I hope that all those who criticize and criticize us, at least should wait for us to finish coaching this season. Then judge our merits and demerits, right?"

Álvaro Rosa kept nodding, Yang Yang made sense, but the problem is...

"Now, many people outside are worried that your coaching time will not last the winter break."

"Ah?" Yang Yang was a little surprised, "It won't be so miserable, right? Just let us dismiss get out of class after taking office?" Then, he couldn't help laughing again.

"It's really so miserable. Among the odds of the three major bookmakers, the odds of dismissing get out of class before the winter break are very high, especially after the two warm-up games. The key is that the two games were played really chaotically. It was a mess."

Yang Yang could only smile wryly.

The first game was a [-]-[-] tie with Roma, the second game was a [-]-[-] victory over Manchester City, the previous game was a penalty kick, Real Madrid did have a bad performance throughout the game, and the second game was equally bad, but Isco shined brilliantly, with one pass and one shot, Manchester City dominated the game, but they lacked in seizing opportunities. Courtois and Keylor Navas both performed very well.

This summer, Real Madrid has been linked with Pogba, which has put a lot of pressure on Isco. The Spanish midfielder started pre-season training very early, so he is now the best player in the team.

It can be said that apart from the two goals created by Isco in the second game, there is nothing worth mentioning.

In this case, it is normal for the outside media and fans to sing bad news.

Besides, hasn't the media always been like this?
One heaven, one hell.

"Then we can only wait and see if we can last until the winter break." Yang Yang laughed.

He himself is full of confidence, because he knows the situation of the team very well and also understands the strength of Real Madrid.

…………

…………

After Real Madrid arrived in Guangzhou, they ushered in a warm-up match and encountered Inter Milan.

Both teams were in pre-season training, and the state was not ideal, but the personal ability of the Real Madrid players was obviously stronger, so in the first half, Di Maria moved to the left in a wide range. Marcelo made a diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area.

This is Jesse's first goal for Real Madrid since training this season.

After the change of sides in the second half, Real Madrid and Inter Milan also carried out substantial rotations. Among them, Real Madrid replaced eleven players in one breath. The coaching staff obviously did not take the warm-up match to heart.

The warm-up match The main purpose of the warm-up match is to warm up, to run in, to inspect every player.

If you have to pursue results even in the warm-up match, is it still a warm-up match?

In 7 minutes, Casemiro, who replaced Mascherano on the field, successfully countered the frontcourt and sent a through pass. Vazquez made a pass from the right side of the penalty area. Varane volleyed and hit, [-]-[-].

James Rodriguez then scored a direct free kick to extend Real Madrid's lead.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Inter Milan [-]-[-] thanks to goals from Jesse, Varane and James Rodriguez.

Judging from the performance of the whole game, Real Madrid's overall strength is still higher than that of Inter Milan, and their performance is relatively stable, but it can also be seen that many players are in poor condition.

Among them, Yang Yang has not performed in three consecutive warm-up matches, with zero goals and zero assists. The same is true for Suarez, Hazard, David Silva and others. This also makes the outside world very worried, especially Yang Yang.

Everyone knows the importance of Yang Yang to Real Madrid, and his downturn has worried many people.

However, the good news is that after playing against Inter Milan, Real Madrid, far away in Madrid, officially announced that Ramos had successfully renewed his contract. The two sides renewed the contract until 900. Ramos' annual salary will rise to [-] million euros, becoming Real Madrid's second echelon.

And the first echelon only has Yang Yang alone, and he still leads the highest annual salary in the world so far.

……

After the warm-up match in Guangzhou, Real Madrid flew to Shanghai non-stop.

Yang Yang and Real Madrid Chairman Florentino attended the meeting with senior officials in Shanghai and presented Yang Yang's NO.11 jersey. Yang Yang had already met the city officials at this year's Lawrence Awards Conference, and there were more topics in the exchange.

However, this warm-up match in Shanghai was still not ideal.

Real Madrid met AC Milan, and the two sides played once again to a zero-to-zero match. Real Madrid misfired, Yang Yang still did not make any contribution, and his performance was still sluggish as usual.

Finally, after eleven rounds of penalty kicks, Real Madrid defeated AC Milan ten to nine.

In the four warm-up matches, Real Madrid's performance was unsatisfactory, and the outside world's expectations for the new season of Real Madrid have also dropped sharply.

Many media are pessimistic about the rookie combination of Zidane and Yang Yang, thinking that they are really good players, but coaching is another matter, especially Yang Yang, whose performance has been sluggish so far this season.

……

After playing the warm-up match in Shanghai, Real Madrid made a special trip to Beijing to attend an event.

This event is very special, because it is not a commercial event, but the opening ceremony of Yang Yang's personal museum.

From Yang Yang's purchase of land to the construction of his personal museum, to the opening of the museum, it has always attracted the attention of fans from all over the country and even the world. Everyone is very curious, what kind of museum will this be?

Real Madrid also gave Yang Yang enough face, the whole team flew from Shanghai to Beijing to attend Yang Yang's opening ceremony.

As the name suggests, the collections in this museum are all Yang Yang's personal honors, trophies or some memorable things, such as some of his classic football goals, or the nets used in the games he scored.

There are also some very commemorative collections, such as the signed jerseys that Yang Yang asked for from Real Madrid superstars when he was in Ajax, and the jerseys that Yang Yang has exchanged with his opponents over the years, all of which are placed in this museum.

In addition to Yang Yang's things, there will be some masterpieces of other masters in the museum, but the exhibits all revolve around Yang Yang.

For example, standing at the entrance is a one-to-one real-life wax figure of Yang Yang, which is even more realistic than Yang Yang in Madame Tussauds. Yang Yang personally invited the most skilled masters in the famous Madrid wax museum to make it for him. Even the expressions are lifelike.

But unlike in Madrid and Madame Tussauds, this time Yang Yang is wearing the jersey of the Chinese national team.

Due to the arrival of the Real Madrid team, the opening ceremony attracted media and reporters from all over the world. Yang Yang also rarely accepted interviews from media reporters, saying that his museum is not for profit, so the ticket price is very ordinary.

Regarding the rumors from the outside world that he was distracted by having two jobs, Yang Yang smiled and said that was not the case.

"Of course, as a player, I can only rely on my performance on the court, but I have to clarify one thing. In fact, my main focus is on playing football. From the training camp to now, I have been working hard to adjust my status. I only turned 29 in October. It is too early to talk about transitioning to become a coach, and I have no such idea."

"I believe, and please wait patiently, the best Yang Yang will come in the new season!"
