In Madrid, almost no one will say that they don't know the Ritz Hotel, because it is known as the best restaurant in Madrid, a place that no diner can not know, and it is also a gathering place for countless dignitaries.

Yang Cheng is different from others, he doesn't like to come to the Ritz restaurant to eat, because the most famous here is Spanish food, and Spanish dishes are often accompanied by a lot of garlic, and he is really not used to the taste, so except for necessary gatherings or invitations, otherwise, he rarely comes here to eat.

Marca newspaper is the opposite, they like to arrange last season's awards party in the Ritz Hotel every year, and because Marca is the largest sports newspaper in Spain, coupled with the fairness and authority of this selection, everyone praises Marca newspaper's best of the season as Spain's Oscars.

As a media close to Real Madrid, the awards of Marca newspaper are very Real Madrid's style, such as the Best Goalkeeper of the Season Zamora Award, which is named after Real Madrid's legendary goalkeeper Zamora; The league MVP is called the Di Stefano Award, and it doesn't need to be said that Real Madrid fans know who Di Stefano is.

In addition, like the manager of the season, the name of the award is Muñoz, he is the greatest manager in the history of Real Madrid.

And the league's top scorer Pizzizi Award is named after the legendary goalscorer Rafael of Athletic Bilbao? Moreno, whose nickname is Pizzi; The best local scorer of the season is called the Sala Award, and Sara is currently the all-time top scorer in La Liga.

It is not difficult to see from this series of naming that the selection of the Marca newspaper is more about authority, and the Pizzici Award for the top scorer has been established for more than half a century, and it has been awarded since 1953, which has a long history.

It can be said that there is no award in Spain that can compete with Marca's annual awards.

Although it is known as the Oscars of La Liga, in fact, the awards ceremony of the Marca newspaper is very pure, except for some media and reporters, the representatives of the teams are basically present, and Real Madrid as a special guest, led by Florentino and Yang Cheng, the major superstars are gathered in the lobby of the Rieds Hotel.

Although everyone fights to the death on the football field, and hates to hack each other to death, on this occasion, everyone is polite, and Florentino is the first in the first row of the chairman's seat next to Laporta, and next to Laporta is Atletico Madrid's president Cerezo.

The Atletico president looked a little embarrassed, after all, his team had just lost a 1-6 at the Camp Nou, which made him more or less ashamed when he met Laporta and Florentino, who let his team lose so badly?

When all the guests arrived, the award ceremony began.

The first awards were given to some small awards, such as the best in La Liga, which were like going through the motions, and not many people would pay attention, although Castilla performed well, but it was not yet at the level of winning the award, so it had little to do with Real Madrid.

The Pizzizzi Award for the top scorer and the Sala Award for the local scorer are also the most suspenseful, Villa deservedly won these two awards, and he also got the Marca newspaper because the Spanish national team won the European Cup, the top scorer in the special award, Real Madrid's leading striker won three awards at once.

Casillas' award for best goalkeeper Zamora also did not go away, Real Madrid was the team that conceded the fewest goals in La Liga last season, Casillas performed well, winning the Zamora award is indisputable, and he also won the best goalkeeper in the special award to thank the captain of the Spanish national team for his outstanding performance in the European Championship.

The Gurucheta Award for Best Judge was awarded to Megria? Davila. …,

If the only suspense of this awards show is the Best MVP of the Season Di Stefano Award and the Best Coach Muñoz Award, both of which are judged based on the performance of the whole season.

Yang Cheng did not win the first season in La Liga, because Villarreal's Pellegrini won the award by a slight advantage, and everyone felt that this small club in Valencia, under the leadership of Chilean engineers, performed amazingly, especially in the 06/07 season, so Pellegrini won the best manager of the season.

For Yang Cheng, who no longer needed to rely on awards to prove himself, he gave Pellegrini heartfelt congratulations at that time, won the respect and appreciation of the Chilean engineer, and the relationship between the two has always remained good.

And this season is undoubtedly a competition between the two, because last season's Villarreal finished second in the league, even surpassing Barcelona, and this honor alone is enough to make Pellegrini Yang Cheng's biggest opponent.

"Frankly, I don't think you have much hope!" Benitez said with a smile beside Yang Cheng.

Paul? Bayer also nodded, "Usually this kind of award is more about the head coach who leads the weak team to produce results, you lead Real Madrid, there are too many stars, covering up your talent and performance." ”

Yang Cheng was a little crying and laughing, "Are you praising me?" Or is it hurting me? ”

"Both!" The two replied in unison, followed by a burst of laughter.

Eduardo, editor-in-chief of the newspaper Marca? As the guest of honor for the Muñoz Award, Yingda walked to the front desk and stood in front of everyone, and for a while, the group of reporters at the end of the conference hall suddenly flashed with magnesium lights.

"This year's Muñoz Award is the least controversial!" Yingda approached the microphone and said with a smile, "But it is also the most full of contradictions, because we found that there was a lot of controversy in the selection, almost all the captains and managers of La Liga, when selecting the best manager, voted for the head coach of Real Madrid, Mr. Yang Cheng!" ”

"Wow!!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of astonishment in the entire conference hall, followed by a thunderous applause, which became louder and deafening in the sealed conference hall.

After finally calming down the applause, Yingda smiled, "Only 1 vote was voted for someone else, we should all be able to guess who this vote came from!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into applause again, and everyone guessed that this vote must have come from Yang Cheng, because he had the deepest grudge with Yang Cheng, and Rijkaard, who had already left Barcelona, also said in an interview with the media that he voted for Yang Cheng.

The latter smiled, which was a tacit acquiescence, and he voted for Pellegrini.

"Our contradiction is that Real Madrid's advantage is too obvious, Mr. Yang Cheng's transformation of Real Madrid, as well as his tactical innovation, have brought us great inspiration, his football at Real Madrid seems to tell us one thing, that is, football is not only about possession of the ball is art, don't you believe it? Look at Real Madrid!! ”

Inda's words were once again met with a round of applause, and Florentino was also congratulated and congratulated by those around her.

"But Villarreal is also doing very well, Pellegrini brought the yellow submarine to its current status, we should definitely give him a thumbs up and give him recognition, but unfortunately, Mr. Pellegrini, you are more unlucky to meet Mr. Yang Cheng!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Pellegrini himself shook his head with a smile, indicating that he didn't mind at all.

"Finally, I announce the winner of the Muñoz Award for the 07/08 season, Yang Cheng!"

With Yingda's hand, the venue suddenly burst into warm applause, Yang Cheng stood up, did not celebrate, with an indifferent smile, walked to the front desk, and took the trophy from Yingda's hand, the most conspicuous on it is the row of red Marca newspaper English letter logo. …,

"All the while, especially last season, I complained to Eduardo that they had a bias against the head coaches of the top teams in the Coach of the Season selection......," Yang Cheng joked, "but now I know that they are very fair and fair!" ”

As he lifted the trophy, the audience erupted in laughter.

Immediately after Yang Cheng came down, it was followed by the presentation of the Di Stefano Award for the MVP of the season, which was presented by Real Madrid celebrity Di Stefano himself, and the winner of this award was Real Madrid's midfield core Kaka.

With the aura of a superstar coming to the Bernabeu, Kaka had a good start at Real Madrid, but it was not good enough, but in the second half of the season, Kaka showed the strength of a top superstar again and again, and he proved his strength with his passes and assists, proving that the huge transfer fee paid by Real Madrid for him was worth it.

In the meantime, Thiago? Silva won the Outside Player of the Season, and although he was a defensive player, it was widely believed that it was Thiago? Silva's solid performance has helped Real Madrid become the team that concedes the fewest goals in La Liga, and is the backbone of Real Madrid's defense and the core of the team's defense.

And the best homegrown player went to David? Silva, the Real Madrid midfielder, has shown an impressive football prowess, not only dribbling and penetrating, but also passing and assisting, he is the most amazing player and the biggest discovery of the Spanish national team.

Juan Mata won the best newcomer, last season was his explosive year, and it also represents his improvement, and the best newcomer is indisputable, while in the best veteran selection, Real Madrid's Raul lost to Sevilla goalkeeper Palop, who was indeed more consistent and also won the UEFA Cup.

After the entire awards ceremony, everyone was surprised to find that Real Madrid won almost all the heavyweight awards, including the five most important awards, including the best scorer, MVP, best goalkeeper, best coach and best local goalscorer, which is still an extremely rare monopoly of Real Madrid's Marca awards.

Judging from the reactions of everyone on the scene, as well as the reactions of the outside media after the announcement, everyone also took Real Madrid's award for granted, after all, Real Madrid's performance last season was too eye-catching and amazing, and the best team in the league won so many seats, and it is not surprising to win the best of the seasons for a few more seasons.

Even the Barcelona media generally felt that the award was fair, but they were calling for Barcelona to continue their efforts and try to beat Real Madrid in next year's best and complete their revenge on Real Madrid.

And a very interesting thing is that although there are many Real Madrid internationals, although the head coach of the Spanish national team is Real Madrid's famous and Yang Cheng's friend Bosque, Spain's tactics are biased towards Barcelona and the school of ball control.

This has made many Catalan media outlets generally proud, as evidence that Barça's tactics are more advanced.

But Bosque denied this claim in an interview with reporters after attending the award ceremony.

"It mainly has a lot to do with the environment we are in now!" Bosque puts the reason down to the Spanish style of football.

Since the implementation of youth training, Spain has been pursuing that kind of small and fast style of play, focusing on the ball control, because this can cover up the weakness of Spanish players who are small and not good at physical confrontation to the greatest extent.

Real Madrid's tactics focus on effective possession, Yang Cheng pays more attention to not my time with the ball, but my threat attack times and offensive advance speed, if the former can be very patient through 30 minutes of possession, and finally take advantage of the opponent's omission to score, then the latter is that I continue to attack in 30 minutes, you have no loopholes, I will create loopholes for you, and then score. ..., it's hard to say which of the two styles is better and who is worse, but it's certain that Real Madrid's tactics are more proactive, but also more risky, and the flow of possession is more in line with the current Spain, because David? Almost all of the players of Silva's generation have been nurtured and trained under the youth mentality of possession flow, and they are more adaptable.

So Bosque also said, "From a personal point of view, I admire Real Madrid's tactics more, more proactive, more attacking, but unfortunately, I am the manager of Spain, I have to start from the national situation, I think the best way for Spain at the moment is to play possession, this is the way we are best at." ”

It almost means that Real Madrid's players will either adapt to Spain's flow of possession or will no longer be selected for the national team, albeit brutally.

As it turned out, Bosque was right, at least Spain defeated Estonia and Belgium 3-0 and 2-0 respectively in the World Cup group qualifiers, and won four consecutive group games, and already had a huge advantage in qualifying.

But it's good for Spain, but not necessarily for Real Madrid.

Spain's match against Belgium is on the 16th, and Real Madrid's away game against Atletico Madrid is on the evening of the 18th.

After careful consideration, Yang Cheng finally chose another way, he asked Kaka, Thiago? Silva, McConn, Marcelo and Mascherano are among the other foreign players who have returned to South America to play in South America, and he hopes that this group of foreign players will be ready for the game against Juventus.

Although Aguero is in Madrid, it is still unknown whether he may not be able to catch the game, because his wife Giannina is 7 months pregnant, and she was a little unwell before, Aguero also asked for leave from the national team to stay in Madrid to accompany his wife, and even the football king Maradona often appears in Madrid to welcome the birth of their first child.

Real Madrid Club even gave a blessing on its official website, saying that once their child is born, then this child will become a registered member of Real Madrid from the first day he comes to the world, becoming the smallest Real Madrid member in the world.

Aguero was also very happy for this, thanking the club for their support on Weibo, and he expressed his hope that it would be a son, because his father-in-law hopes that this child can inherit the tradition and glory of the football family.

In this case, if Giannina's body is not healed, Yang Cheng really can't force Aguero to return to the team to participate in the game, which is different from his usual management methods.

In addition, for Atletico Madrid, Yang Cheng has always firmly believed that after the 1:6 defeat to Barcelona, Aguirre cannot continue to play against Real Madrid in the derby, although Atletico Madrid is currently star-studded, with no shortage of Fran, Simao, and Luis? A first-class star like Garcia, but compared with the strength of Real Madrid's players, it is still inferior.

If Aguirre doesn't want his team to be blown up by Real Madrid's attack like at the Camp Nou, then his best bet is to defend and counter-attack, and the key is what kind of tactics he will play.

Putting Atletico Madrid aside, Yang Cheng already has a rough idea of the lineup for this game.

Goalkeeper Casillas, the backline is Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos and Miguel? Fernando Torres has David Beckham and De La Red in the backs, Ronaldo, Raul and Juan Mata in front and Negredo in the strikers.

Real Madrid's lineup is basically all players who have not been selected for the national team, or have not played in the national team, and Yang Cheng is still more confident in the physical fitness of Pepe, Ramos and Xiao Xiao Luo, especially Xiao Xiao Luo, this guy's physical fitness is very perverted, and Yang Cheng doesn't even need to worry about his physical fitness.

He knows very well that Atletico Madrid's main squad is limited, and there are many internationals, and Aguirre will not easily go to the bench in order to ensure the competitiveness of the team, in this case, Real Madrid's physical fitness will be more advantageous, and if this advantage can be used to hit Atletico Madrid, then Real Madrid's chances of winning this game will be greater.

And in the last round, Aguirre discharged Luis? Garcia and Maxi? Rodriguez's two-sided striker combination, but at the Camp Nou, Barcelona was beaten to the ground, in this case, it is difficult for Aguirre to continue to adhere to this two-sided forward tactic, especially Aguirre, who has always been conservative in the use of personnel, Yang Cheng does not believe that he has the courage.

This also proves that Real Madrid's breaking point lies in Atletico Madrid's wings, so he arranged two wide attackers in this game, Xiao Xiaoluo and Mata, and a strong Negredo in front of him.

It can be said that Yang Cheng racked his brains and tried his best to defeat Atletico Madrid and continue to maintain his lead over Barcelona, but what he didn't expect was that the development of the situation greatly exceeded his expectations!
