"I have sent a proposal to the referee committee of the Football Association, and I hope that the Football Association will severely punish some players like Barcelona, who use home advantage to besiege and pressure the referee during the game, at halftime, otherwise, the referee's prestige will be lost!"

On Spain 4, the TV was broadcasting an interview with the referee on duty in the derby of the century, and it was clear that he looked very indignant, no one had listened to him before, no matter how much he said, it was useless, and now that the whole world was surrounded by journalists, he could speak freely and express his opinion.

"Actually, there is a consensus in refereeing circles that being in charge of Barcelona is seen as a chore, for the simple reason that you not only have to control the situation on the field, but you also have to deal with the siege of the Barcelona players at any time and place, they like this way of besieging the referee, and they have indeed benefited a lot from it, but this should not be an unspoken rule!"

"Let's imagine if one day all the teams besiege the referee, hoping to change the balance on the pitch by putting pressure on the referee, then what prestige do we have?"

"The referee is also a human being, from a fair and just standpoint, the referee will also make mistakes, but will not make biased mistakes, anyone has the possibility, opportunity, and even said, they have also benefited from the referee's mistakes, so I think that when you shouldn't get the benefits, you smile and greet people, and when you are wronged, you scold and question it, isn't this a double standard?"

"Real Madrid is the most popular team in the refereeing circle, especially in the past two or three years, all referees know that Real Madrid is the team with the fewest fouls in La Liga, and once there is a controversial decision, they will give opinions on your mistakes through communication and exchange, and even the captain will come forward to protest, but it will definitely not be siege and pressure, I think this way is worthy of praise!"

When the referee said this. The entire VIP room at the Bernabeu Stadium burst into cheers.

Every year before Christmas, Real Madrid hosts a Christmas dinner, usually with a dozen tables in the VIP room at the Bernabeu Stadium, or at the Mirashera Hotel, where in addition to the players, families and staff of the Real Madrid football team, there are also players and staff from other sports departments such as the basketball team.

"You say. The referee praised us in public, will it be slandered as flattery? "Tim? Hank asked with a laugh.

The coaching staff sat at a separate table, and when he said this, everyone burst out laughing.

"The body is not afraid of shadows, we have never done it. There's no need to be afraid, right? Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Won the derby of the century 6:2, and Real Madrid is now in full swing. Therefore, the atmosphere of the Christmas dinner is also very good, unlike the previous two years, which are always tense.

The year before last, Real Madrid fell behind Barcelona by a large score at the Christmas dinner, the whole team was lifeless, Yang Cheng was facing a crisis of getting out of class, and no one was in the mood to eat; Last year's Christmas dinner was before the Century Derby, and everyone was working hard for the derby, and the Christmas dinner was not very good.

This year is different. The Century derby was won 6-2, with Real Madrid four points ahead of Barcelona, no matter which way you look at it. Real Madrid have a reason to celebrate, and the club has decided to give the team a big reward, and the Christmas dinner is just the beginning.

Florentino toasted table by table with Piri and Putragno. Thanks to everyone for their contributions to Real Madrid, when he came to the table of Yang Cheng's coaching staff, in addition to clinking glasses with everyone and taking a sip after tasting it, he also specially toasted with Yang Cheng. …,

Originally, with Yang Cheng's status, he was going to sit at the chairman's table, but he felt that there was no common topic at that table, they were all rich and wealthy businessmen in Spain, and they were all Caesars and Yang Cheng's short salutations when they met, which made him feel very comfortable, so he preferred to sit with his brothers and partners.

When two goblets filled with red wine clattered and collided together, Florentino said, "Thank you!" ”

Only he understands how difficult it is for Yang Cheng to bring all this to him and to Real Madrid!

Yang Cheng smiled and patted Florentino's shoulder, the two of them are old friends, there is no need to be polite, one action can represent all meanings.

"After the holiday, come back early when you have time, let's talk about renewing the contract!" After Florentino finished his drink, he mentioned the renewal of the contract.

According to Yang Cheng's contract with Real Madrid, it expires at the end of this season, and now the media in the UK has begun to hype, and it has been revealed that Yang Cheng is returning to the Premier League to coach, and the teams interested in him are Manchester United and Manchester City.

won the first Champions League in his career, Ferguson said that he had no regrets, and he also said that if Yang Cheng is willing to go to Old Trafford, he will choose to retire without hesitation, which is tantamount to a naked public invitation.

Manchester City is regarded as Yang Cheng's most fanatical suitor, and it is revealed that Mansour, the big boss behind Manchester City, is very important to Yang Cheng's influence and coaching ability, and is willing to offer him an amazing contract to let him coach Manchester City and lead Manchester City to achieve a hegemony.

Almost every summer, Yang Cheng's problem will be hyped again, the problem of the size of the momentum, Real Madrid has also been trying to negotiate with Yang Cheng to renew the contract, after all, all Real Madrid people, from top to bottom, all hope that Yang Cheng will stay, but now the initiative to renew the contract is in Yang Cheng's hands.

It has been disclosed in the newspaper before that if Yang Cheng really leaves, the impact on all aspects of Real Madrid will be very fatal.

The first is his influence in the team, there are so many big-name superstars in the team, except for him, I really can't think of anyone who can control it, Mourinho has a lot of trouble with Shevchenko and Ballack at Chelsea, and when he comes to Real Madrid, he may not be able to suppress so many big-name superstars.

Also, his contracts with many sponsors ended this summer, including Motorola, etc., at present, there are many sponsors who are willing to contact Yang Cheng, Real Madrid also hopes that Yang Cheng will renew his contract, they can operate from it, get a piece of the pie, and Real Madrid's main sponsors have also put forward requirements to the club, must keep Yang Cheng.

When Emirates signed the agreement with Real Madrid, Yang Cheng participated, and if Yang Cheng left, it would definitely affect the sponsorship contract, and Adidas said it back then. With Yang Cheng and without Yang Cheng, they are two different contracts, that is, without Yang Cheng, Real Madrid will lose a lot of financial revenue.

Finally, there are the Real Madrid fans.

As a membership-based club, fans and members determine the position of Real Madrid's president. Some extreme fans have written to the club before, saying that if the team can't keep Yang Cheng with the position of head coach, then use the position of president of Real Madrid in exchange for his stay, and some people even threatened that Florentino would step down if he couldn't keep Yang Cheng.

Although extreme fans are a tiny minority. But all Real Madrid fans want Yang Cheng to stay and continue to lead the team to glory, and it is impossible for the board and management not to hear the fans' voices.

In Florentino's plan. The first major event during this year's winter break is not the introduction of reinforcements, but the renewal of the contract, the renewal of the contract with Yang Cheng!

"Okay!" Yang Cheng agreed in an instant.

Florentino smiled, it was the happiest to talk to Yang Cheng about things, he didn't have an agent, and everything was up to him, which made the renewal of the contract, as long as he was convinced. That's it. …,

Seeing off Florentino, Yang Cheng sat down again and continued to beckon his assistants to eat and drink.

"I thought you'd hesitate!" Benitez next to him said with a smile.

"Why?" Yang Cheng thought it was funny.

The flesh on the fat Spanish man's cheeks trembled. "I heard that Manchester City is going to write you a blank check, fill in the numbers yourself, aren't you excited?"

"Money. I'm not lacking! Yang Cheng replied, but after looking at this Spanish fat man, he remembered Benitez's achievements in his previous life, and now although he is also famous, he still failed to reach the height of his previous life, which is a pity.

"I've also heard that a team has invited you to coach, but you don't do it?"

Benitez and Yang Cheng have been partners for so many years, of course they know what he says, they are very honest, and they don't have to play temptation like some people, so they smiled, "I also thought about coaching independently, but sometimes I think that if I coach alone, I will always unconsciously want to compare with you, then I will be miserable!" ”

"You're so unconfident, huh?" Paul? Bayer laughed.

"Better than you, at least I've thought about it, have you thought about it?" Benitez taunting Paul? Bayer.

The German was depressed because he really didn't want to coach.

Many times things are really strange, for so many years, following Yang Cheng to go south and north, and doing so many vigorous things, Paul? Bayer has also changed a lot, but he is becoming more and more content with the status quo, at least in his opinion, he is now making more money than most head coaches, in addition to serving as Yang Cheng's assistant, he also works in Yang Cheng's research center in the football tactics department, which can be described as a high-paying position, more stable than those who coach independently, at least he is not worried about losing his job.

If Yang Cheng will lose his job, then the head coaches of the world will have to drink the northwest wind.

"Seriously, people say that the Ferguson coaching sect is prosperous, but my sect only has a few façade supporters, and I also hope that you will go out and coach independently!" Yang Cheng proposed with a smile.

He had been talking to Paul about this very early? Bayer and Benitez have mentioned that he will fully support them to coach alone, as long as the objective environment allows, they want people to give people, equipment to equipment, and strong support, but they just don't do it.

There are actually a lot of head coaches in Yang Cheng's department, Ju Qiao is now also coaching in East Germany, Bremer is still coaching Kaiserslautern, Bergomi is coaching Inter Milan, Baggio is now also studying in the coaching training course founded by Yang Cheng, and half of Yang Cheng's Dalglish, almost all of them are coaching in giant teams, and their performance is quite good.

At least, in terms of record, it is much brighter than the managers of Alex Ferguson's series.

Yang Cheng feels that if Benitez coaches alone, the record must be very ideal.

However, he can also understand the Spaniard's thoughts, in order to pursue his football dream, he left his family to study in Italy, which was self-funded, he can almost be said to rely on his wife's hard work to support his family, and later joined Yang Cheng's coaching staff, his current salary is the same as Paul? Bayer is flat, and with his position at the research center, his salary is higher than at least 90% of the current head coach.

But those managers who coach alone are under a lot of pressure, and there are worries about leaving classes, and sometimes they are idle for many years after class, such as Van Gaal, who was famous in Europe before, and Rijkaard, who was dismissed from Barcelona in the summer, the latter has been for half a year now, and is still looking for a job.

It's true that managers are well paid. The hard work and effort that can be paid is also more than ordinary people, once idle, income will often be affected, you can find some work such as writing columns, game commentary, etc., which is pretty good, and if you can't find it, there is almost no income, which is for many people with families. It is also a question worth considering. ..., in short, the manager is definitely not as glamorous as the fans see!

…………

…………

On the second day after participating in the team's Christmas dinner, Yang Cheng took Kaka, Xiao Xiaoluo, Villa, Casillas, Aguero and many other Real Madrid stars to Zurich, Switzerland, to participate in the FIFA World Footballer of the Year Award Ceremony.

In fact, this is already a selection without any suspense, because in the past 2008 all the individual awards. In particular, the European Footballer of the Year belongs to Ronaldo, which makes it almost indisputable for him to win the World Footballer of the Year crown, and his strongest rival is his teammate Kaka at Real Madrid.

Messi is doing well at Barcelona though. But the 5-0 slaughter by Real Madrid in two games, coupled with his actions at the Bernabeu, made his image in the eyes of the judges slip, and Kaka was voted the best player in La Liga last season, which undoubtedly made it impossible for Messi to surpass Kaka.

Real Madrid has another favorite to be Villa, who has performed very well in the European Championship, and he is also a popular candidate, but Villa's low profile has always put him at a disadvantage in the competition with Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi. It is estimated that it is difficult to pose a threat to these three people.

In fact, in the final selection results, Xiao Xiaoluo was successfully elected as the World Footballer of the Year with 935 votes. He also completed the 2008 Grand Slam, which allowed him to reach the peak of his career, and the limelight can be described as unparalleled.

Except for Xiao Xiao Luo. Kaka is second with 678 votes, Barcelona's Messi has only 203 votes, Villa is fourth with 183 votes, and Real Madrid still have Casillas and Xavi? Alonso is in the top 10 of the list, Aguero, David? Silva and Thiago? Silva is in the top 20, which shows how many stars there are in the Real Madrid team.

However, there is also a regret, that is, Mascherano was not shortlisted, this hapless Argentine defender has the same low-key as Villa, but it is the most difficult to shine back, which makes it difficult for him to enter the eyes of the judges, but Yang Cheng has notified the club to renew his contract and raise his salary to keep the top midfielder.

When Xiao Xiao Luo received the trophy from Pele, the entire Zurich Opera House applauded, and Yang Cheng also gave his proud protégé the warmest applause, because he watched Xiao Xiao Luo grow from a Portuguese country boy to the most powerful player in the world today, and his feelings are especially different from others.

'It really feels like a dream come true to get this award and I want to be able to share it with all the teams I've played for, Sporting Lisbon, Liverpool and Real Madrid, and my country.

'In 2008 I reached a new level and I'm glad I've been able to achieve so much with Liverpool and with Real Madrid, I'm still very ambitious and I want to keep going, to be better and I hope I can come back here again in the future.'

After a pause, Xiao Xiaoluo turned to look at the area where Yang Cheng was sitting, and the live TV camera suddenly shifted.

"I'm going to share this award with someone!"

Everyone could see that the Portuguese had tears in their eyes, but they gritted their teeth and endured.

"Five years ago, I was just a country boy, I went to Liverpool in a daze, I don't know what team spirit is, I don't know what sacrifice is, but there is one person, he spent a long time to make me understand, how football should be played, he made me understand that by myself, you can never win the game!"

"He's not one to hear people say thank you, so I've never thanked him, I've never told him that the 16 seconds he made a bet with me I could have done so easily, and I never even told him what an important role he played in my life!" …,

"When my father died, he told me to be independent, and he tried to help me, how to be a man, how to take care of my family and family, I always wanted to ...... Would love to talk to him......"

Everyone saw that Xiao Xiaoluo's tears were sliding down his cheeks, but he always looked at Yang Cheng.

"Chief, without you, Cristiano would not be where he is today? Ronaldo, forever and ever, you are my most respected, most beloved leader, no matter what I achieve today or in the future, in front of you, I will always be the child who needs your comfort and care! ”

"I love you, Chief!"

There was a burst of warm applause in the opera house, and even many people involuntarily stood up and applauded Xiao Xiao Luo and Yang Cheng, especially when watching Xiao Xiao Luo rush down from the stage and walk quickly in front of Yang Cheng, the scene of the two masters and apprentices hugging tightly, the applause in the venue was thunderous.

For Yang Cheng, he has created countless legends, but every day, every year, he continues to surprise people, continue to make people feel magical, he seems to have been born with such an ability.

The election of Xiao Xiao Luo has also allowed Real Madrid to win the World Footballer of the Year and European Footballer trophies for three consecutive seasons, from Cannavaro in 06, Kaka in 07, to Xiao Xiao Luo today, Real Madrid has unknowingly completed three consecutive championships, and according to the current strong performance of Real Madrid, it is not impossible to continue to win.

But what no one expected was that at the cocktail party after the award ceremony, Yang Cheng made a very severe criticism of Xiao Xiaoluo.
