575 Yang Cheng's conditions
575 Yang Cheng's conditions
Yang Cheng has never been the kind of person who does not believe in his word, so he promised the group of children of Castilla, and he did not hesitate to travel more than 500 kilometers to Lleida, northeast of Madrid, less than 100 kilometers from Barcelona, just to watch a Castilla game.
One has no desire, the other is almost relegated, and the two teams really have nothing to look at, so the stands are also empty, probably only two or three thousand people, and there is no live broadcast, but a few reporters captured Yang Cheng and Butragno who accompanied him.
When Yang Cheng appeared, the entire Lleida Camp Stadium was in an uproar, and many fans stood up one after another and pointed at Yang Cheng, but the police quickly separated these fans to prevent them from entering the Real Madrid fan area where Yang Cheng was located.
The surrounding Real Madrid fans also fought back, but Yang Cheng advised them to stabilize and ignore these thugs, and he was also used to the attitude of the fans in Catalonia towards him, who let him offend their faith Barcelona?
Because of Yang Cheng's intervention, the atmosphere of the game became a little different.
Castilla's players were greeted by the hostility of the opposing fans after seeing the first-team coach of Real Madrid where they played for coming to the scene, and their hearts were immediately angry, but they vented their anger on the field.
In the end, thanks to Negredo's brace and Mata's goal, Castilla defeated Lleida 3-1 away and sent the opponent further into the relegation zone.
"Well done, boys!"
After the game, Yang Cheng walked into Castilla's locker room and praised this group of rookies with a smile.
"But it's not enough, at least to convince me that you have to work harder to get you into the first team, but no matter what, you're doing really well, keep up the good work!"
The boys nodded excitedly, but they didn't get dizzy, because they knew that Yang Cheng was right, if they wanted to enter the first team, they had to show more strength.
However, this game made Yang Cheng pay attention to Negredo, a tall player with a good head and physical fitness, very much the posture of Morientes back then, and he is a very good player.
Morientes was originally still in Real Madrid, before because of the departure of Owen, resulting in a shortage of manpower in the front line, so Florentino kept Morientes, but his performance was really average, Luxemberg was not taken seriously during the period, and he could not participate in the game, so he left Real Madrid in the winter transfer period and went to Valencia without waiting for the Brazilian coach to leave.
Juan? Mata's ability to take the ball and break through on the left side is indeed very good, his technique is very good, he is very fast, but he is only 18 years old, and La Liga and La B are two different leagues, so it will take a little time.
Arbeloa can be trusted at the back, Yang Cheng has booked a place for him in his first team, and De La Reid in midfield will also be pulled up by him to try it, it should be said that he will give the youngsters of the second team more opportunities in the new season.
Of course, Yang Cheng will not forget his most important task, he did not come to Real Madrid to engage in youth training, he is to lead the revival of the first team, so he will also bring in reinforcements for the first team, and he is currently working out a detailed recruitment plan with the club, of which several will be finalized before the World Cup.
Yang Cheng mentioned one point in his previous conversation with Florentino, in order to cooperate with the club, he can continue the policy of one superstar a year, but the specific superstar is up to Yang Cheng to decide, after all, Real Madrid's current situation does need superstars to strengthen the club's operation and create a sensational effect.
At present, Yang Cheng also has a superstar object for the first season, but he is still under investigation and negotiation for the time being.
In addition to the players, Yang Cheng also put forward several requirements of his own in the process of negotiating with the club.
First of all, he must have absolute power to manage and build the team, he requires the club to cooperate with his own plan to implement, he needs to work together from the management to the ordinary staff, which is a must, among which Yang Cheng emphasized that no one is allowed to leak the club's internal affairs to the outside world.
This kind of thing has happened a lot in previous seasons, and there have even been people who have used the news of sales to get a good pay, and Yang Cheng said that he will never allow such a thing to happen to the team he is in charge of, because it would make everything at the club secret. Secondly, he wants to have absolute power in the field of sporting, which is what Florentino promised him before, and now he wants Florentino to cash, he will become the club's technical director and head coach, which will undoubtedly make him the most powerful manager in the history of Real Madrid.
After getting this power, in the field of competition, no one in Real Madrid can balance him, unless Florentino wants to force Yang Cheng to leave, otherwise, what he says is a holy decree!
Finally, he hopes to further improve the training environment of Valdebebas and introduce a complete set of body detection and recovery systems, which were developed by Yang Cheng, but he did not make a penny more from Real Madrid in this regard, and traded according to the market price.
At present, this system has been introduced by Manchester United, AC Milan, Bayern Munich and many other giant teams, Yang Cheng has made a lot of money on it, and this season, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal and Mourinho's Chelsea will also introduce this system.
Yang Cheng is not worried about the impact that his opponent will have on him, after all, he and his coaching staff are not only based on these machines, they have some unique experience and skills.
After negotiating these three conditions, Yang Cheng put forward another request, that is, his assistant.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
To the northwest of Madrid, there is a place called Torrelo Dones, which is close to a small town about 30 kilometers from Madrid, about 30 minutes by car.
It's a town of little name, and there haven't been many football celebrities, but there is a football superstar, just in the past.
Fernando? Redondo, the former Argentine defender, a superstar that Real Madrid fans will never forget!
He would show up at the town's football pitch every afternoon, play a few random games with the kids in the neighborhood, and then he would teach them how to play, but more often than not, he would leave after playing because there would always be some Real Madrid fans pestering him for autographs and stuff.
But it is clear that today something is different.
"Emilio?" Redondo was a little surprised to see Butragueno standing by the pitch waiting.
"Fernando!" Butragueno smiled at him.
Redondo walked up, "What wind brought you here?" β
Butragueno smiled slightly, looked around, and saw that it was all residential areas, "Is there a place to sit and talk?" βγ
"Of course!" Redondo replied, "Go to my house!" β
The two left the training ground one after the other, and behind them, several Real Madrid fan boys were pointing to Putragno's back, wondering if this was a Real Madrid vulture.
Redondo's home is no different from an ordinary house, very simple and simple.
"Nice place, quiet!" Butragueno said with a smile.
Redondo smiled slightly, the current players are eager to be exposed, but the players of their generation are always thinking about avoiding those reporters and concentrating on the football field, obviously, the mentality is different.
"What about Natania and the children?" Butragueno looked around and asked.
"She's going to pick up her kids from school, she's going to take a vacation soon, and we're going to go back to Argentina!" Redondo said with a smile.
He ran a football school in Argentina with Solari and his son, and Mascherano came out of their football school and was later recommended to River Plate, where he is now Argentina's main midfielder.
His wife, Natania, is the daughter of a technical coach in Tenerife and the cousin of Solari, who is neither the daughter of the rumored former president of Real Madrid, nor the sister of Soleari, but only a cousin, but they are very close.
"Say, Emilio, it's okay you won't be here!" Redondo said lightly.
Butragueno knew that Redondo still had a big opinion on Florentino, so he was not very interested in him, if it weren't for the fact that he was a Real Madrid celebrity and had a good relationship with Redondo before, maybe the two wouldn't sit down and talk at all.
"Did you hear the news?" Butragueno asked, but quickly added, "Something about Yang Cheng." β
Redondo nodded, although he left Real Madrid and left football, he still cares about everything that happens in Madrid, of course he knows, because this is the hottest news before the World Cup, and the media around the world has almost turned it upside down. β¦,
Caesar, the best manager in the world; Real Madrid, the greatest club in the history of football, the combination of these two elements is enough to make the whole world crazy.
"Is it true?". Redondo asked with concern.
Butragueno nodded, "Yes! β
The Argentine smiled and said sarcastically: "He finally did the right thing!" β
This is similar to Bosque's words, if not identical.
Butragueno smiled bitterly and sighed, "But he put forward one condition!" β
"Oh?" Redondo is also an intellectual among the players, and he vaguely guessed that it should be related to the arrival of Butragueno.
"He wants you to return to the Bernabeu as his assistant!"
"Me?" Redondo was taken aback.
It should be said that every time Yang Cheng arrives at a team, he will ask for an assistant who is familiar with the operation of the team to the coaching staff, and the outside world has long been rumored, but the rumors from the outside world before are the former Real Madrid goalscorer Mijatovic, which is said to be recommended by Real Madrid board member CalderΓ³n.
But how did it become Redondo now?
"Yang Cheng rejected our proposal about Mijatovic, and he directly asked you by name to be his assistant!"
Redondo was a little surprised, even a little overwhelmed, because after he left Real Madrid, he never imagined that he would one day come back, and as a coach.
But faintly, his heart was full of longing, because he knew that he would be tied to Real Madrid for the rest of his life, just like Bosque, they could not forget Real Madrid.
However, it is one thing to long, and quite another to be willing to go back.
He, like Bosque, was purged by Florentino, which was an absolute shame for him, because it was a purge without warning, and he didn't even know he was going to be sent to AC Milan while he was still thinking about how to play for Real Madrid.
Although he did not say that as long as Florentino was there, he would never return to Real Madrid to coach, but he also thought so at one point in his heart because he didn't like to be associated with that person.
Seeing Redondo's expression, Butragno guessed what was in his mind and sighed.
Florentino has also realized his mistakes in the past three years, although he did not say it, but we can all see that he is now trying his best to correct the mistakes he made in previous years, who has not made mistakes? Didn't Mr. Bernabeu and Mr. Mendoza, the former great presidents of Real Madrid, also make mistakes? βγ
Redondo glanced at Butragueno and shook his head, "He's not big enough to compare to the Bernabeu and Mendoza!" β
"Yes!" "I mean, people make mistakes, and the most important thing is to be willing to change!" β
Speaking of this, Putraguno sighed again, "Now Real Madrid is in chaos, the members of the board of directors have their own thoughts, and the dressing room is cliqued, and things have reached the point where they are out of control......"
Redondo just listened and didn't say anything, which he had heard in the newspapers last season, from some of the old Real Madrid people, and Bosque had expressed his grief about it.
"This is an opportunity, Fernando, at least it proves that Florentino has made a mistake in reflecting on himself, and now that he has handed over all the power of the competitive field to Yang Cheng, it proves that he has made up his mind this time!"
Redondo nodded, he knew that if he could make Florentino make such a big concession, he was probably the only one in the world, and this was indeed an opportunity for Real Madrid to change, but he still couldn't accept his return to Real Madrid.
It's not that I'm worried about Florentino, because the fact that Butragueno is here already proves that this matter is approved by Florentino, so he is not worried about what difficulties he will encounter at Real Madrid.
"Think about it, Fernando, I know you still love this club in your heart!"
It's clear that Butragueno is a good lobbyist, at least he knows how to move with emotion, and Redondo is the kind of person who is the most emotional.
There is a saying among Real Madrid players that if you wear that white shirt, even if it's just for a minute, you will naturally fall in love with this team, everything that happens to him can arouse your love for him, every game, every training, every assembly. ..., if someone asks Redondo, do you want to go back to Real Madrid, go back to the Bernabeu?
Think, he dreamed of it!
But now when the opportunity is in front of him, he is a little hesitant, because the man who is in charge of Real Madrid has hurt him deeply, deeply, so much so that he has a shadow and feels hated.
When you go back to Real Madrid, you have to face him, which is not even willing to watch the game and sit in the same stands with himRedondo and others are unwilling to accept, not only him, but also Bosque, Hierro and other players are unacceptable, so that at the Bernabeu Stadium, they have their own private box, No. 2036, also known as the veterans' box, because almost every game, some of their veterans will watch the game in the box.
And the owner of this box is called Raul!
Redondo admires Raul as much as he admires Bosque, Hierro and others, except that he himself is Raul's idol, along with Baldano.
Once, Redondo asked Raul why he stayed at Real Madrid.
Raul replied to him at the time, "If I, Guti and Casillas are gone, no one will remember what Real Madrid is!" β
This sentence moved Redondo for a long time, and also moved Bosque on the spot, Hierro is the kind of tough guy who didn't say anything, but nodded to Raul, because they all know what Real Madrid is!
If you just like Real Madrid because of the stars and because of the championships, then one day, when the best stars in the world leave Real Madrid and all the champions are away from Real Madrid, these people will also abandon Real Madrid and like other teams instead.
Only if you really know what Real Madrid is, will you really love Real Madrid, and will you understand why there are so many people who have struggled all their lives, just to be able to wear Real Madrid's jersey, even if it is only for a minute!
However, he still did not agree to Butragueno in the end, he just said that he would think about it, but did not give any reply, so when Butragueno left, it was obvious that he was disappointed.
But not long after Butragueno left, Redondo had not yet recovered from his melancholy when his cell phone rang.
Bosque, one of his most admired managers!
"Remember how we won the Champions League together?". Bosque asked in the first sentence.
Redondo was stunned, recalling the distant 9900 season, almost relegated halfway, Tosak was sacked, Bosque put out the fire for the third time, this time he led Real Madrid out of the league decline, in the Champions League defeated Manchester United, Bayern and other fierce rivals in succession, and passed the test to reach the final.
There is no doubt that it was a final with a huge disparity in strength, but in the whole process of winning the championship, it fully reflected the Juanito spirit of the Real Madrid players, and the tenacious fighting spirit of each of them who never admit defeat, it is a united and progressive team.
Even in 02, the joining of superstars such as Zidane and Figo only made the team slightly unbalanced, but the existence of Makelele and others made Real Madrid win the UEFA Champions League again, relying on not only superstars, but also Makelele, McManaman and others.
But all this, with the arrival of more and more superstars, with the addition of more and more top stars, seems to be getting farther and farther away from Real Madrid.
"Fernando...... "Bosque on the other side of the phone is obviously also going to be a lobbyist," ...... He told me that in three years, we will see a better and better Real Madrid than it was back then! ββ¦β¦οΌ
