Chapter 985
After playing Sevilla, Real Madrid did not immediately have a holiday.

After returning to Madrid from the away game that night, the players still had to report to Valdebebas the next morning for recovery training. According to Ancelotti and the coaching staff, this is crucial for the players' physical recovery.

And when everyone came to the locker room, they saw a sentence clearly written on the blackboard in the locker room.

"Tonight, Juan's House Barbecue Restaurant."

Every Real Madrid player nodded and smiled tacitly when they saw each other.

Real Madrid's schedule is relatively tight this year. The club has not been able to find time to arrange a Christmas banquet. It can only give each player and family a generous gift and a Club World Cup bonus in return.

Only now, near Christmas, has a potluck been organized.

Real Madrid players are also used to this. Almost every month, a dinner like this will be organized at least once, and the players will also come to the venue by themselves.

In order to prepare for this Christmas feast, Real Madrid specially booked the entire Roast House of Juan's House, which naturally alarmed the media.

In the afternoon of that day, a large number of media gathered outside the barbeque restaurant and watched Real Madrid players, coaching staff and staff arrive one after another. They all maintained a tacit understanding that they would not go forward to disturb.

This is a private party, and media reporters will take pictures outside, but will not enter or interview.

Yang Yang has always been punctual and came early, accompanied by his wife Su Ye and young Yang Guang.

It was the first time for the three-month-old son to go out. He was held in Yang Yang's arms, covered his face, and refused all media reporters to come forward. Yang Yang's personal assistant also greeted the media reporters early and did not allow the child's frontal photos to be taken.

This was also Su Ye's first public appearance in the past three months, and everyone suddenly realized that after giving birth, she had quickly recovered her slim figure, and her curvy figure was even more attractive than before.

After Yaoyao greeted the media reporters, Yang Yang and Su Ye went into Juan's House Barbecue Restaurant.

Every Christmas, Yang Yang carefully prepares a Christmas gift for the club, including players, coaching staff, staff, and even some youth team players who train with the first team. In the past few years, they have been Apple’s mobile phones, iPads, and laptops.

Everyone in Real Madrid knows that Yang Yang is a minority shareholder of Apple. In recent years, the stock of Apple alone has made a lot of money. In addition, Yang Yang is very popular in the locker room on weekdays, so everyone is not polite to him.

This is also true this year.

The latest iPhones, iPads and laptops, according to different standards, everyone can get a gift from them, and they were sent to Juan's House Barbecue Restaurant early on, and Real Madrid arranged for Yang Yang's assistant to distribute them.

When the players and staff who arrived at the barbecue restaurant early saw Yang Yang, they also came forward to thank Yang Yang in person for the gift, and some familiar ones even teased little Yang Guang. This was his first public appearance.

As the son of Yang Yang, little Yang Guang has been the focus of the world's media since he was born, but Yang Yang and Su Ye have always protected him very well and did not expose him too much to the spotlight. They still hope that little Yang Guang can grow up carefree and not be harassed by the outside world too early.

Old friends such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Xavi Alonso and Maxwell also arrived one after another. They were family members, so it was inevitable to get together for a while. The wives were also full of flowers when they walked together, and Su Ye had always been a gorgeous presence in the Real Madrid wives, and tonight was no exception.

Only Yang Yang knew in his heart that Su Ye had been exercising and shaping her body for the past few months, and even since she was pregnant, she had been paying attention to her figure, so she recovered quickly, and now she is even more charming than before she was pregnant.

……

With the arrival of Florentino, Carlo Ancelotti and others, Real Madrid's Christmas feast officially began.

The President of Real Madrid took the lead in expressing his gratitude to all the players, coaching staff and staff on behalf of the Real Madrid board of directors, management and all members, and thanked everyone for their hard work in the past year.

"We have become the only team to successfully defend the Champions League in the 20 years since the restructuring of the Champions League. I can't describe to you my excitement at that time, and I can't express to you the gratitude of all Real Madrid fans, but I want to say that Real Madrid will always remember you and everything you have given."

Everyone at the scene was shocked after hearing this.

This is Real Madrid and everyone here will leave their name on this great football club.

Maybe ten years or a hundred years later, everyone will miss them the same way they miss Di Stefano, Gento and other legends.

In addition to affirming the team's achievements, Florentino also put forward requirements for the team in the second half of the season.

Theoretically, the current La Liga is up to the No.17 round, but due to the strike of the players union, only [-] rounds have actually been played.

Florentino said that the structure of La Liga has undergone tremendous changes. Barcelona is no longer as competitive as imagined. This season, Real Madrid has returned to a high-speed track. The team is currently the strongest attacking team in La Liga and Europe, and it is also the best defensive team in La Liga.

"A few days ago, I met with the management of other clubs. They jokingly said that our Real Madrid created a lot of 'tragedies' in the first half, so that their work focus had to be shifted to cleaning up the mess. This is our greatest recognition and affirmation."

"I would like to say that our biggest opponent is not Barcelona, ​​but ourselves. There is no doubt that Barcelona cannot be underestimated, but we are the only ones who can really stop us."

Florentino said that on the basis of the first half, Real Madrid should be more ambitious in the second half. Apart from La Liga, will the team be able to perform in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey?

Now the league has an [-]-point lead, coupled with the thickness of Real Madrid's strong player lineup, it can fully support the third-line battle.

"In our [-]-year history of Real Madrid, there was a five-peat with great legends like Di Stefano and Puskas, followed by a three-peat with Bayern Munich and Ajax, with legends like Franz Beckenbauer and Cruyff, and now we have the opportunity to create another treble, and there is a great chance for everyone here to have legends like Franz Beckenbauer and Cruyff."

As soon as Florentino finished speaking, everyone at the scene turned their attention to Yang Yang.

If Real Madrid has won three consecutive championships, if anyone can become a legend comparable to Beckenbauer and Cruyff, it must be Yang Yang, and it cannot be anyone else.

Yang Yang felt somewhat excited after hearing this, but he knew that it was difficult.

Because to compete with legends, not only depends on the performance of the club and personal honor, but also depends on the results of the national team.

The king of the ball, Pele, won the supremacy by relying on the results of the national team. Needless to say, Maradona, Beckenbauer and Cruyff also performed very well in the club and the national team.

The national team is Yang Yang's biggest weakness.

In fact, there is a saying now that one king, two horses, three emperors, four saints and five arrows.

The first king is the football king Pele, the second horse is Maradona, the three emperors are the football emperor Beckenbauer, the four saints are the ball Saint Cruyff, and the five arrows are the golden arrow Di Stefano.

It stands to reason that Di Stefano has better results in club competitions and a higher seniority than Pele, but you must know that Real Madrid's five consecutive championships have been criticized for being too watery, because the Champions League at that time did not have much gold content, and Di Stefano's historical status is therefore far inferior to the previous four.

But if Real Madrid can win the UEFA Champions League three consecutive times now, with Yang Yang's dominance over European football in the past few years, his historical status can at least compete with Ronaldo and Zidane, and he may even break into the top five in the future.

If the national team competition is not good, then rely on the club to compete. This is Yang Yang's clear goal from the beginning. He just regards the club competition as his own World Cup.

Of course, whether it is the media or the fans, there is a very serious sentiment of favoring the past over the present, because no one can overcome the good memories, so people today are often not as good as the ancients.

……

Florentino's intention is to boost morale, but it is definitely not enough to just verbalize chicken blood, so Real Madrid has offered heavy winning bonuses this season, especially the Triple Crown.

Obviously, both the management and the technical team believe that this year is Real Madrid's best chance to win the treble in decades.

In fact, this is indeed the case, because Barcelona really encountered problems this season, otherwise they would not lose points frequently in the league. Now they are as many as [-] points behind Real Madrid, which is almost giving up the league championship.

Real Madrid's current bench is very thick, and there are two very competitive players in almost every position, which makes Real Madrid's third-line combat fully achievable. Florentino wants to inspire the team's fighting spirit.

It doesn't matter if it's for rewards, for feelings, or even for self-realization. Florentino's request is that everyone in the team should work together as one to strive for the second half of the sprint.

Ancelotti also expressed on behalf of the coaching staff that they have formulated a complete set of plans and season strategies, and they will do their best to achieve the expected goals. Captain Casillas also expressed his position on behalf of the locker room, saying that everyone must work together to strive for a better state and performance in the second half.

In the end, a Christmas dinner turned out to be something like a swearing-in meeting.

But I have to say that the morale and atmosphere in the team are really quite good.

Especially Florentino, and then he communicated one-on-one with players one by one, including Ibrahimovic.
