For the positioning of flag star Raul, in fact, it has always been not only a pain for Real Madrid, but also a pain for the Spanish national team.

Aragonés has always been not very interested in Raul, because he feels that Raul's presence has hindered his transformation of the Spanish national team, and Raul's state in the past few years at Real Madrid is indeed not ideal, which is related to the use of Real Madrid coaches against him, and also related to the pressure he is currently carrying.

After the training camp in Valencia, Spain first played a training match against Valencia's youth team, and Raul was excluded from the squad, and the national team explained that Raul's leg injury has not healed, but many people suspect that Raul will not be able to play in the World Cup.

In this regard, the former technical director of Real Madrid, Raul's mentor Baldano, who has left the company, mentioned in his column, "I think Raul should have left Real Madrid, he should have followed when Hierro left, but he chose to stay, which made him bear a lot of pressure that should not have been borne by him." ”

"Leaving Real Madrid, Raul will feel a sense of ease, he will find his form again!"

Yang Cheng started a column in the German Bild newspaper since June, and after learning about Baldano's words, he immediately replied, in view of Baldano's clear support for his leadership of Real Madrid, so Yang Cheng only politely expressed different opinions this time.

"I don't agree with Alberto, I know he's looking out for Raul, but we should look at it that way, but who isn't under a lot of pressure from all the great stars? Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Zidane, who didn't come under pressure? ”

"I don't think Raul should choose to run away, that's a coward's behavior, he should be brave and prove himself again with his performance, this is the attitude that a man and the captain of the team should have!"

On June 3, Spain hosted Egypt, Raul came on, picked up a leak in the penalty area in the 14th minute, opened the scoring for Spain, and helped Spain beat Egypt at home, and Raul also played 70 minutes before being defeated by Luis? Garcia came off on a substitution.

Yang Cheng sat in the stands, in Redondo, Benitez and Paul? Accompanied by Bayer, he watched the whole game.

"Raul's spirituality is still there!" Benitez praised that it was when he took advantage of Atletico Madrid's disbandment of the youth team that he signed Raul on the recommendation of scout Paco, and Benitez later became Raul's head coach in the youth team, but it didn't take long for Raul to go to the first team.

"I didn't show you Raul!" Yang Cheng scolded with a smile, he pointed to Zaragoza striker David, who partnered with Raul and Torres in this game? Villa, "I'm talking about him!" ”

Benitez smiled slightly, "Very good! ”

Yang Cheng looked at the fat man, "It's as simple as that?" ”

"I have faith in your vision!" Benitez said it bluntly, but it made everyone around him laugh.

Redondo thought for a while, "His style is a bit similar to Raul, they are the kind of strikers who go up from behind, he once pulled to the front of the penalty area, cut through with the ball, and was very eye-catching, but he was not very lucky, so he didn't score, but he dribbled the ball very thin." ”

This is also a common trait of Spanish players, where almost all players who can play the ball are very skilled.

Spain is a paradise for technical players!

"In the summer of '05, Valencia recommended Mohammed to Liverpool in order to get him? Sissoko, but we had Essien and Arau at that time? Diarra, so he didn't need him, so the Bats didn't get enough money to bring in Villa, and now they are back on the offensive against Villa, but it's clear that they need Joaquin more urgently. ”

Yang Cheng analysed Valencia's transfer tactics this season, Flores' number one target this summer is Joaquín of Real Betis, and as for the forward line, he also has a crush on Tavano, who has scored 19 league goals in Empoli in the past two seasons, because the latter is much cheaper, and is ready to bring in a left wing-back.

On the first day of his arrival in Madrid, Yang Cheng negotiated with Florentino in the transfer market, and the latter asked Butragueno and Piri to fully cooperate with Yang Cheng, and Yang Cheng offered one of the first three recruitment targets. ..., Zaragoza can't stop Real Madrid's demand for buyers, although Valencia also covets the Spanish striker, although Villa looks somewhat similar to Raul's style, but Yang Cheng still pry open Zaragoza's mouth at a price of 15 million euros, and let them put David? Villa spit it out.

Now, the transfer is almost complete, and the player just nods and agrees.

The reason why we want Villa is not to ask him to replace Raul, at least not in the new season, but because Yang Cheng feels that Villa is the person needed by Real Madrid's forward line, if you want to talk about the center, Negredo and Soldado of the youth team are very good candidates and can take on responsibilities, especially Negredo, whose style is very similar to Morientes.

With Raul, Villa, plus a Baptista who can play as a striker, Negredo and Soldado in the youth team, and Bueno, who was named a talented goalscorer and the new Raul in the European Youth Championship, Real Madrid's forward line is temporarily enough, because among the goals planned by Yang Cheng, the focus of this season is in La Liga.

Originally, he was still considering Juventus' Ibrahimovic, but the Swede's slow nature after winning the ball will seriously slow down Real Madrid's attacking advance, and his lack of movement will also prevent him from using Real Madrid's overall attacking tactics in the new season.

As Yang Cheng said before, Real Madrid's tactics will not rely too much on individual players, but will focus on teamwork, and in the presence of David Beckham and Xavi? Alonso, the two big long-distance passers, if Real Madrid doesn't know how to take advantage of it, it will really be a loss to grandma's family.

Forward, Yang Cheng only needs a Villa, or if there is a suitable candidate, he will consider bringing in, but his focus this season is still in the midfield, especially Real Madrid's two stubborn diseases, the back and the central defender!

…………

In the Spanish national team, almost everyone looks at Raul with a sense of awe.

Even Barcelona captain Puyol is just a little brother in front of Raul, because when he started playing professional football, Raul was already the brightest star in the country, and even he was the object of countless Puyol's pursuit and envy.

Playing on a pitch with such a person can be a bit stressful.

Villa is undoubtedly the most stressed of this group, because the outside media has been hyping a topic since the day he entered the national team, and he will end Raul's main position in the national team!

It seems that the facts are also evolving according to this script, so later Raul was injured, but Villa played better and better, Raul could only play as a substitute after he came back, and Aragonés valued Villa more than Raul, plus Raul's seniority made him have few friends in the national team, especially after Morientes was defeated, his friends were only Salgamore.

This makes the captain of Real Madrid look somewhat lonely, and he gradually can't play the main position, and his expression looks more lonely and serious, which makes many young players in the team dare not bother him, for fear of accidentally angering the Spanish football banner.

Under the hype of the media, Villa, who had no contact with Raul, gradually became a passerby, and sometimes even met on the road and wanted to say hello, feeling embarrassed, especially last summer, after it was rumored that Raul prevented Villa from entering Real Madrid, this embarrassment was even worse.

Over time, this gives people the impression that the two have made a feud!

So, when Villa finished changing his clothes in the dressing room and was about to leave, he was surprised and even a little worried when he saw Raul standing at the door, as if waiting for him, because he received the news that Zaragoza had agreed to Real Madrid's offer of 15 million euros.

What is he doing here?

Just as Villa was guessing, Raul walked over, "Are you free for the night?" ”

Villa hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

After a pause, he looked into Raul's eyes and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Mr. Yang Cheng is here in Valencia, and he wants to meet you and several other Real Madrid players!" Raul said lightly.

Villa nodded, he has been admiring the most influential head coach in world football for a long time, and he also knows that countless professional players are proud to play under Yang Cheng, so when he heard the news that Zaragoza agreed to Real Madrid's offer, his first reaction was joy. ..., no one will refuse to play for this great team, for this great manager!

After Raul finished speaking, he turned to leave, but apparently hesitated again, and stopped after taking a few steps.

"All ......," he said, turning his back to Villa, "I mean the media, everything they say, is false, and I haven't answered anything about you. ”

Villa looked up, saw Raul's back, and nodded, "I understand, so do I!" ”

Raul shook his head with a smile, but sighed again, "No matter what, you're welcome to Real Madrid!" ”

"It's my pleasure!" Villa said.

Raul didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Watching Raul leave, Villa felt relieved for no reason, because he knew that what Raul said just now was true, otherwise he would never have had to speak.

"He's actually a very nice guy, just a little bit unexpressive!"

…………

…………

That night, in the hotel where the Spanish national team stayed, Villa met Yang Cheng, who had not been seen for a long time.

The Real Madrid coach is in a relationship with Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Xavi? Alonso was talking, Raul and Salgado were there, but they were talking to Redondo and Benitez, and Liverpool goalkeeper Reina was also running over to join in the fun.

Yang Cheng's first impression of Villa was that he was talkative, and he seemed to talk to this group of players quite well, at least the atmosphere seemed relaxed and not too stressful.

Villa knows that although these players of Real Madrid are not familiar with Yang Cheng, they have all heard a lot of things about Yang Cheng from Reina, and they are all details that cannot be seen in the media, which makes them all know very well what kind of players Yang Cheng needs, so in fact they are not strangers.

"Hello, David!" Obviously, Yang Cheng also saw Villa walk in while talking and laughing.

"In the future, there will be three Davids in our team, so captain, after the team gathers, the first thing is to think about how to distinguish them!" Yang Cheng said jokingly.

Raul smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Roger!" ”

This immediately made everyone laugh.

Villa would love to ask, apart from himself and David? Aside from Beckham, which David is there?

But he was afraid that Yang Cheng would blame him for talking too much, so he didn't ask anything in the end.

"Did you get a message from your broker?" Yang Cheng sat down with him away from the crowd.

Villa nodded, "Received it yesterday!" ”

'We've reached an agreement with Zaragoza, they've agreed to our offer, and I hope you can negotiate a contract with the club through your agent as soon as possible, and then after the World Cup, you can go to the team's training camp.' Yang Cheng said what he wanted.

Villa promised, "I'll talk to my agent!" ”

"Good!" Yang Cheng smiled and nodded, "I will watch your games in the World Cup, do a good job!" ”

Yang Cheng patted Villa's shoulder and encouraged, and then looked at Raul, who was talking happily with Redondo in the distance, and then looked at Villa, he had already heard about the two of them, but he definitely didn't believe that Raul and Villa had a feud.

"Do you think a guy who has played for Real Madrid for so many years, who has played so many times, who is revered by the fans as the flag of the team, who has the captain's armband on his arm, who has said something to prevent the team from bringing in reinforcements?" Yang Cheng seemed to say casually.

"If it were me, if I really wanted to stop it, I wouldn't have said it, I would have used it directly, and I wouldn't have done it to let the media know, so ......" Yang Cheng couldn't stop nodding and didn't say anything, letting Villa think for himself.

Villa knows what Yang Cheng means, with Raul's status and influence in Real Madrid, if he really wants to prevent Villa from joining, he doesn't need to say anything at all, he can achieve this goal by threatening the board of directors without anyone knowing, and saying something through the media, it is a very stupid thing.

So what Yang Cheng means is that it is a poor hype technique by the media, and there is no need to pay attention to it at all.

Villa nodded in understanding.

Yang Cheng talked to Villa for a while, and the two talked about some things outside the stadium, never talking about the stadium, but Yang Cheng was concerned about his plans after joining Real Madrid, such as whether he would consider buying a house in Madrid or something. ..., Villa had thought about this problem before, he said that he was also considering buying a house in Madrid, and then Yang Cheng took the opportunity to say that Raul was a real estate expert in Madrid, so he pulled the captain of Real Madrid over and talked about the experience of buying a house in Madrid.

Yang Cheng was a listener on the side, and it was only at this time that he learned that Raul's biggest hobby was architecture, no wonder he and Joaquín? Torres is so speculative, and he is also studying veterinarians in addition to training, and plans to become a veterinarian after retiring, which makes Yang Cheng feel very unpopular.

After chatting, Casillas, Salgado and others were involved, and the topic became more and more partial, and finally talked about the Laureus Sports Awards held in Barcelona not long ago, Yang Cheng mentioned Nadal, but I didn't expect that these stars of Real Madrid are very familiar with him, and there are more topics to talk about.

Raul and Casillas are friends with Nadal, and Villa also admires Nadal very much, because he likes tennis very much, so a group of people began to talk about it.

After talking enough about the rest time set by Aragonés, the group left unsatisfied.

Yang Cheng is very satisfied with the harvest of his Valencia group, especially when he sees Villa and Raul and others starting to have good contact, he is even more happy, after all, a united team must be built on full communication.

By the time he left Madrid, Yang Cheng had already explained a series of things, such as the improvement of Valdebebas, and he also brought Chris and Tim, who had returned from vacation? Hank was all thrown there, so it was time for him to go on vacation.

However, this summer, Yang Cheng must limit his scope of activities to Germany, because he is one of the hosts by default by German fans, and even German Chancellor Angela Merkel has his invitation to the state banquet specially held for the national team, and he is one of the important guests who received the invitation at the opening ceremony, so he can't run away.

Beckenbauer had communicated with Yang Cheng before, and Merkel would award Yang Cheng a [Federal German Medal of Honor], which represents Germany's highest honor, at this state banquet, which is undoubtedly an affirmation of Yang Cheng's contribution to German football, and at the same time he was awarded the award to Blatter, who handed over the right to host the World Cup to Germany.

The award will be held at this state banquet, so Yang Cheng must be present.

In addition, Yang Cheng has to rush to Kaiserslautern to fight for Kaiserslautern in Fritz? Outside Walter Stadium, a statue of himself was unveiled, a gesture the city used to thank Yang Cheng for his contribution to their football, and he couldn't refuse.

But don't really say that in this year's German national team, Klose, Podolski, Schneider, Ballack, Kyle, Frijns, Deisler, Schweinsteiger, Fritz, 23 German national team lists, Yang Cheng's former veterans accounted for 9 of them, and his contribution to German football can be seen.

And it should also be taken into account that the youth training system he presided over and planned has brought earth-shaking changes to German football in recent years, and a large number of outstanding rookies have emerged, including Schweinsteiger, Podolski, Kyle, Frings and other young stars, which have benefited German football a lot.

From this point of view, Yang Cheng was awarded the medal by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, which is also widely affirmed in Germany.

Because, no one can erase Yang Cheng's contribution to German football!

What people didn't expect was that on the day Yang Cheng went to the award ceremony, some discordant voices broke out.
