Chapter 1335 Is this necessary?
After leaving Real Madrid, Ancelotti rested for half a year and soon found a new job.

Half a year later, he will officially succeed Pep Guardiola, who is about to go to Manchester City to coach, as the head coach of Bayern Munich.

This is something that has been shown for a long time, and it can be guessed from Guardiola's refusal to renew his contract with Bayern Munich.

Manchester City has invested a lot of money over the years, and has been pursuing Guardiola hard. Even for Guardiola, they did not hesitate to dig two former Barcelona executives Ferran Soriano and technical director Begiristan who had a kindness to Guardiola to Manchester City. The purpose is to pave the way for Guardiola in advance.

It can be said that at this moment, it is not surprising that Manchester City dug Guardiola.

This summer, the Manchester duo are expected to change coaches. Van Gaal may find it difficult to stay at Manchester United. Pellegrini will also be replaced by Guardiola. Although this is not fair, professional football is so cruel.

And Ancelotti is going to Bayern Munich to replace Guardiola.

It's just that at this moment, attending the award ceremony of the FIFA Ballon d'Or, the identity of the Italian is still the former Real Madrid coach.

As a distinguished Real Madrid coach, he can even be said to be the most outstanding Real Madrid coach in history. Ancelotti has also been greatly admired in European football, which has made him famous and rich. At the same time, he was also nominated for the best FIFA men's football coach of the year. There is basically no suspense about winning the award.

……

Although he has been away from Real Madrid for half a year, the relationship between Ancelotti and Real Madrid players is still very good.

Even Yang Yang, although there was some conceptual estrangement between him and Ancelotti at the beginning, time has passed. Now that we meet again, the two are very close. After all, they have fought side by side for many years and have already known and understood each other.

Since leaving Real Madrid, Ancelotti has never commented on Real Madrid's games. This is Zidane and Yang Yang's greatest support. Yang Yang naturally understands it, so when he sees Ancelotti again, the first thing he does is to thank him.

As the head coach who led Real Madrid to defend the Triple Crown, if Ancelotti came forward to comment, it would double the pressure on Yang Yang and Zidane.

Ancelotti asked about the current situation of Real Madrid with concern, especially for the performance since the winter break. Although they have not lost, the ups and downs are a bit big, which makes people feel uneasy.

"This fluctuating state is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose the game. You must stabilize it as soon as possible." Ancelotti combined his years of coaching experience and made suggestions to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang understood, but also explained that there was no way to do it, because the team was undergoing physical training during the winter break.

"Pintus is a very capable physical coach. With him in charge, I believe it is not a big problem. It is just that this low period will be very painful, and even if we lose the game, I am afraid that the pressure will be great." Ancelotti respects Pintus very much.

Both of them are Italians, but Ancelotti has his own coaching team and is used to acquaintances, so naturally he won't move Pintus' minds, and Pintus currently has a contract with Real Madrid.

"Fortunately, Barcelona's performance this season is also poor. Recently, there have been three draws." Ancelotti laughed.

After entering December, Barcelona's state is indeed not ideal. There have been three draws before and after Christmas, and they have lost six points in vain, which should have been won in the first place.

Sometimes the competition in the standings is as simple as that. You grasp it and grab every point that should be grabbed, but he loses some points that should not be lost. The final result is that the team that grabs the points wins the championship.

Even more so for teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

"Barcelona's problem is still the defense." Yang Yang said sharply.

Ancelotti nodded, "Yes, the transfer budget and salary are all put in the frontcourt. The financial pressure is huge. I can't afford to invest in the backcourt. The defense can't be improved. As the midfielders age, the problems are becoming more and more obvious."

The best and wisest choice Real Madrid has made in recent years is to always maintain the strength of signings on the three lines.

In the frontcourt, midfield and backcourt, Real Madrid has very ample personnel reserves, and the lineup is very thick.

"Your strategy is right. With Real Madrid's strength, as long as they play steadily, their results will definitely not be bad." Ancelotti encouraged with a smile, obviously Zidane and Yang Yang are very optimistic about the coaching.

"I watched the two games against Paris Saint-Germain, the games against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. It was very interesting and very thoughtful. Now I really hope that the Champions League knockout match will come sooner."

"Oh, by the way, when it comes to the knockout rounds of the Champions League, your luck is really good."

Yang Yang also chuckled, it's really good.

Because they won the first place in the group, Real Madrid drew Italy's Roma in the Champions League round of sixteen.

This Italian team can be regarded as a tragic reminder in recent years, repeatedly defeated in the Champions League. In the fifth round of this season's Champions League group stage, they lost [-]-[-] to Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

Real Madrid's draw to Rome is considered impartial. After all, the weaker teams include Ghent, Dynamo Kiev, PSV Eindhoven and Benfica, and the stronger teams are Arsenal, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, etc.

This is also equivalent to saying that after being drawn to Rome, Real Madrid will have no problem advancing to the quarterfinals as long as they play steadily.

……

After finally sending Ancelotti away, Yang Yang ushered in and dealt with many people.

Basically, they are people from the European football circle, some are club executives, some are professional players, and some are officials from FIFA, UEFA or national football associations. They all want to come and get acquainted with Yang Yang.

Communication is often a part of this event.

But the appearance of one person surprised Yang Yang, that is Juventus star Paul Pogba.

Strictly speaking, the two are considered to be of the same family, because they are both under Raiola's command, but Yang Yang is the uncle, and Pogba is not.

The French midfielder is in a good mood, because he has been shortlisted for the best team of the season. This is the first time in his career. He looks very letter-reading. He is wearing a black gold flower dress, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, ear studs, blond hair dyed on his head, and a thumb pattern on his ear, which looks very playful.

It has always been reported that the 22-year-old French midfielder wants to leave Juventus. In the past two years, he has publicly expressed his desire for Real Madrid on different occasions.

But it is a pity that Real Madrid's current midfield lineup is very strong, and it is difficult to leave a place for Pogba.

With David Silva, Modric, Toni Kroos, De Bruyne, James Rodriguez, Isco and other midfielders, how to make room for Pogba?

Not long ago, the British Sun broke the news that Real Madrid's new stadium renovation is nearing completion, and this summer, Real Madrid will have a staggering transfer budget of [-] million pounds and will conduct a comprehensive transformation of the team.

This is undoubtedly quite amazing, and it also proves that Real Madrid is rich and powerful, and is fully capable of attacking players from any team except Barcelona. The key depends on who Yang Yang and Zidane want to get.

There are not many superstars who can arouse Real Madrid's interest. Juventus's Pogba, Bayern Munich's Lewandowski, Manchester City's Aguero... These players are all on the potential list of media rumors, but in Yang Yang's view, the operability is not high.

Needless to say in the midfield, Real Madrid has Suarez and Yang Yang on the front line. Although Jesse's performance still did not meet the team's expectations, Real Madrid also has a Morata, who will not consider introducing Lewandowski at all.

After the end of this season, the Polish center will be 28 years old. With such a high transfer fee, is it necessary for Real Madrid?

As for Aguero, the reason is the same as Lewandowski.

Judging from the current situation, Real Madrid's biggest problem is the position of the midfielder. The team only needs to strengthen this position, and the rest is how to stimulate the players' self-motivation and fighting spirit.

Knowing this, Yang Yang and Pogba knew it well when they communicated.

He also admires the French midfielder very much, and chatted with Pogba very enthusiastically. In the eyes of interested people, maybe this is a sign of Pogba joining Real Madrid, but in fact, the communication between the two is only limited to personal friendship.

…………

…………

As in previous years, the awarding of the best team was put in the first step, but this year the guest of honor is the Cameroon star Cheetah Eto'o, a world-class striker who has played for teams such as Barcelona and Inter Milan for a long time. Finally, it is time to step down and be the guest of honor.

When seeing Eto'o come on stage, Yang Yang really had countless memories in his heart.

Before he knew it, he was 29 years old.

Maybe in a few years, he will start to serve as a guest of honor like Eto'o.

Ellis, the head coach who led the U.S. women's soccer team to the [-] World Cup in Canada, won the best women's soccer coach award.

Ancelotti defeated Guardiola and Enrique without any suspense, and won the best men's football coach.

The Fair Play Award went to all football organizations that support refugees.

The Puskas Award for the best goal was awarded to Yang Yang. His finale free kick in the final stage of the Champions League final, with a range of more than 40 meters and a strange S-shaped deadly arc, all these made this goal a classic in the history of world football, and he deserves this honor.

Miss World Football was given to American midfielder Lloyd, which is also an affirmation of the Women's World Cup champion.

When it came to the grand finale, which was the presentation of the FIFA Ballon d'Or, everyone knew that there was basically no suspense, because over the years, the real suspense was who would be in the top three. As for who would win the award, there had never been any suspense.

This is especially the case this year because Real Madrid have defended the Grand Slam for two consecutive seasons, which has never been done before in football history.

Yang Yang definitely deserved the award, and it was even determined long ago.

Unexpectedly...
