Super Coach

When leaving the Aspen headquarters, Alfredo secretly told Yang Cheng about the whistleblower inside Real Madrid. The matter of Kaká's injury was also revealed by an insider, and was subsequently unearthed by the media. .

Also, in addition to the team, internal whistleblowers also seem to like to dig up news about Yang Cheng. For example, he said that by chance, he once saw the caller ID of Yang Cheng’s mobile phone, which was the most beautiful woman in France, Mei. Lisa Theriault called Yang Cheng, and the two looked very affectionate during the call.

On the way back in the car, Yang Cheng kept thinking about, when did he talk to Melissa on the phone?

It seemed that before the match against Mallorca, she arrived in Madrid and made an appointment to meet in the evening. He remembered that before that, he was in the office talking with some people from the press department about the end of the season. Some comments on the club's official website said that he didn't answer the call when it came, and he answered it after everyone was gone. Who could hear the caller ID on his cell phone at that time?

Looking back up the cocoon, Yang Cheng's mind immediately locked onto a person's name!

After initially confirming who it was, Yang Cheng wanted to go to the Bernabeu. He couldn't help but suddenly made a turn at a fork in the road, which scared the driver of a car that was following him closely.

** The middle-aged Spanish driver wanted to yell, but when he saw the car in front of him, it was a Maserati M12 with orange, black and blue body color and a limited edition of 50 units worldwide. No wonder he turned from the side just now. coming.

As soon as he saw the car clearly, the driver immediately understood who the owner of the car was. He couldn't say any curse words. Taking advantage of the crowd in front, he found an opportunity to rush up and waved to Yang Cheng inside M12, Ha, Mr. Yang Cheng , your overtaking just now was too dangerous, it scared me!

Yang Cheng lowered the window and waved apologetically towards him.

Although he has only been in Madrid for a year, it seems that the whole world knows his hobby. He likes to collect famous cars. He now has a Maserati M12, Bugatti Veyron, Porsche Carrera, Ferrari Enzo, Lamborghini, etc. in his garage. A range of supercars, Audi? It was a bargain in his garage.

Watching the roaring sports car whizzing away, the driver stepped on his Mercedes-Benz and chased after it, but soon he lost sight of the Maserati. He couldn't help but murmured with envy and jealousy in his heart, This car is really useless. Let’s talk!”

As soon as he saw the Maserati's Poseidon Trident logo, the security guard from the Bernabéu district recognized Yang Cheng and opened the door in advance to let him in. After the latter parked his car, he went straight to the district chairman's office.

It's Mijatovic! As soon as he entered the door, Yang Cheng turned towards Florentino,

Said with great certainty.

Florentino raised his head and looked at Yang Cheng in confusion as he came in and talked incoherently, What is Mijatovic?

Yang Cheng came to him, pulled up his seat and sat down, looking at the Spanish old man who seemed to be very kind, I said that the person who frequently broke the news to the outside media before and sold inside information to some newspapers and media was Mijato. Vicky.

Is it him? Florentino was stunned.

You can't be wrong! Yang Cheng was very sure. He didn't like this guy either, so when the team asked him to be an assistant coach, Yang Cheng directly rejected it and asked Redondo to help him instead. Unexpectedly, this guy But he got into the news department.

Alfredo just told me that he posted another message before, saying that he saw the caller ID of my mobile phone. This was his biggest mistake, because after thinking about it, I found someone with the caller ID of my mobile phone on my desk. , it’s just him!”

After a pause, Yang Cheng nodded and said: Of course, I don't rule out that he told others, and then others broke the news to the media, but I am wondering who can openly contact the media and at the same time conveniently take advantage of the opportunity to sell. What about the news without having to worry about being suspected?

Only people in the news department have this convenience because they deal with the media all day long.

After hearing this, Florentino couldn't help but frown deeply, because this meant that the news department that he originally thought was running ideally had been infiltrated by his opponents.

Every club will have a set of means to protect its stars, and these are usually the affairs of the press department. For example, if a media with which they are familiar usually captures a scandal about a certain star, they will usually inform the club in advance to see whether they should cover it up or not. If it is announced, if it is to be covered up, the club must provide corresponding compensation, such as the exchange of some breaking news, etc.

In the early years, Ronaldinho was still visiting nightclubs, but the news rarely appeared on the page. The club wanted to protect him, but the situation is different now. Barcelona now focuses on protecting their own child Messi, who has a healthier image. , so news about Ronaldinho hanging out in nightclubs frequently appeared in the newspapers.

This is why so many people feel that Barcelona wants to sell Ronaldinho.

Therefore, the press department of a wealthy team is very important, and Florentino also attaches great importance to the press department. Previously, he appointed Jose, a close friend of Prime Minister Zapatero, as the press director, but Zapatero repeatedly After publicly stating that he was a fan of Barcelona and attacking Real Madrid, Jose stepped down and was replaced by Anders, the well-known editor-in-chief of TV6.

In order to balance the relationship between Marca and AS, Lorentino Chang, with Anders as the news director, arranged for Oscar, a famous reporter from AS, to serve as the first team press officer, responsible for the first team's external voice. He is also an employee who often has contact with Yang Cheng.

And the Mijatovic that Yang Cheng mentioned is now working under Oscar and is responsible for the external affairs of the first team.

After Yang Cheng took over, Real Madrid's entire news system almost revolved around him, and the goals he set were: to maintain a balance among the major media, strictly control the leakage of information in the locker room and training base, and absolutely protect the team. In order to protect the interests of internal players and minimize the impact of negative news on the first team.

Not to mention Yang Cheng's control is too lenient, in fact it is very necessary, because any team that has negative news all day long and makes an ambiguous statement in the locker room and is hyped by the outside world for a long time is very difficult. It’s hard to concentrate on the game.

This is why he said that today's football is no longer a pure competition on the field, but an overall team battle from top to bottom, which tests the operation of the club's entire team.

Now it is obvious that something is wrong with the Ministry of Information!

Soon Piri and Butragueno, two of Florentino's cronies, arrived, and Anders and Oscar from the press department also followed them to Florentino's office.

It should be said that these four people can be absolutely trusted, otherwise, they would not be in the position they are in today.

After they heard Yang Cheng's news and inference, they basically agreed with Yang Cheng's inference.

If I remember correctly, he seems to have been recommended by Calderon, right? Florentino sat on the office chair and looked at Butragueno and asked seriously.

The vulture nodded, When Mr. Yang Cheng came to the team, Calderon originally recommended him to be the assistant coach, but then we chose Redondo. In addition, he had many contacts with news people before. experience, so we ultimately selected him to join the press department.”

It was said that it was very subtle, but in fact it was Calderon who installed Mijatovic into the Ministry of Information.

There are many such things. For example, Piri and Butragueno both entered the management as Real Madrid stars. Currently, Zidane also serves in the team, and some other celebrities also hold positions in the team.

All wealthy teams have cases of hiring former celebrities to serve in management positions, and Real Madrid is not a special case.

Calderon? Florentino felt a little troubled by this guy.

Real Madrid's management model is very strange. Under normal circumstances, the chairman has very great power, especially when Florentino has the unanimous support of the vice presidents. In addition, the team reversed Barcelona and won the championship last season. The chairman His prestige has also been restored, and Florentino's power has been enhanced again, gaining more trust from the board of directors.

But Calderon is one of the few opposition parties on the board of directors. For this person, Florentino will have no way to deal with him for a while, because he has no leverage in Florentino's hands.

Please watch him first and stop messing around! Florentino said in a deep voice, obviously trying to restrain his anger.

Even though it is strictly prohibited to leak secrets to the outside world, there are still people who dare to contact reporters and the media secretly and use the team's insider information to seek benefits. Such people should be killed!

But with Florentino's intelligence, he also knows very clearly that Mijatovic alone is not enough to achieve anything, and Calderon is one of them, because Florentino is still vividly aware of what happened last year. The key question is, besides them, is there anyone else?

If Real Madrid is really controlled by this group of people, it will be a disaster for the team! Piri said in disbelief.

If nothing else, let’s talk about Kaka’s transfer.

The current announced figure is 58 million euros, but with Kaka’s current status, no one would doubt it even if it was announced to be 70 million or even 80 million euros. However, 22 million euros of it fell into the pockets of some people. Went inside.

It is so convenient and easy for football clubs, especially wealthy teams like Real Madrid, to make money!

Gaspart had only been in charge of Barcelona for a few years, and he almost brought Barcelona to its knees!

They will not succeed, they will pay the price! Florentino said through gritted teeth.

On the way back to Valdebebas from the Bernabeu, Yang Cheng thought a lot.

He feels that in order to maintain and manage a team well and maintain combat effectiveness, the most important thing is to unite the team as a whole, and to make the team better unite as a whole, the most important thing is to let everyone The players all maintain a consensus.

Under normal circumstances, this consensus can also be called professional ethics.

A may not like it, but on the court, they must work together to help the team win the game: two players can maintain different opinions on a certain issue, but there should not be a fierce conflict. Instead, sit down and talk in a peaceful situation.

I may disagree with you, but I will defend your right to speak!

A very important reason why Yang Cheng opens a player area in the training base every time he goes to a club to prevent everyone except the players from entering is that he hopes that the players can have a place to talk and discuss, and even conspire here. Overthrowing Yang Cheng's coaching of Real Madrid was allowed by Yang Cheng.

But there is a premise, that is, everything that happens here in the locker room cannot be leaked to the outside world.

This is the consensus of all first-team players!

Zooming into a club, Calderon can oppose Florentino, he can protest against the latter, and even try his best to push the latter out of office, but the premise is that the interests of Real Madrid cannot be harmed. This is the major premise and the bottom line. .

But it is obvious that Calderon and Mijatovic have now crossed this bottom line!

What awaits them is definitely revenge and purge from Florentino. This is for sure, because no football club will allow such a person to exist.

It's like two couples fighting, no one will attack each other by revealing each other's secrets, because this has violated the most basic consensus, so Calderon and Mijatovic will leave sooner or later, let's continue now The purpose of keeping them is to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.

Yang Cheng really didn't like this kind of fight for power. He didn't like this kind of intrigue, but running a club had to deal with this kind of thing.

It took Ferguson many years to build Manchester United into a monolith. The Gibraltar Stallion incident almost caused Manchester United to fall apart, and then Kenyon and many other staff defected to Chelsea.

Facts have proved that the head coach has to face the troubles caused by these things all the time. This is why Yang Cheng will put forward every time he takes charge of a team that all departments and management of the team must focus on the competitive interests of the first team. This is tantamount to establishing a club consensus and allowing everyone, even those with different opinions, to work around this consensus.

In this way, a team can form a fighting force, avoid distractions to the greatest extent, and focus on football!

But Real Madrid is still a certain distance away from this goal, and it will take some time!

Haha, great Caesar, my friend, we meet again!

As soon as Yang Cheng walked into the office, he heard a burst of hearty laughter.

He saw a middle-aged Brazilian man walking towards him, and behind him followed a sturdy boy and Jorge Mendez. The latter had a helpless look on his face. He always felt that this middle-aged man was a little... Exaggerated.

When he met Yang Cheng, the latter was not well-known, but now Yang Cheng is already the most popular top coach in football today. How can he be the same as back then?

Lima? Yang Cheng pointed at the middle-aged man and said in surprise.

Yes, I'm so glad you still remember me! Lima laughed and grabbed Yang Cheng's hand.

The latter immediately gave him a warm hug, which made Lima feel a little flattered.

Oh my god, it's... ten years, right? Yang Cheng counted the years.

Lima nodded and seemed to be in a very good mood, Yes, it has been ten years. Back then you came to our Alagoas to take Deco away, and now I have sent you my son!

Yang Cheng followed his gesture and saw the sturdy Pepe. The latter looked a little embarrassed, but held his head high, The strong boy was only a few years old back then, but he has really grown up now!

Everyone burst into laughter, and it was inevitable to feel a little sad when they reunited after so many years.

A good boy, he has backbone and has made his way on his own. He's awesome! Yang Cheng affirmed without hesitation.

This brat is your loyal fan. Since Deco left, he has been training very hard all day long. Now that he has joined Real Madrid, he has got what he wanted! Lima said with pride and pride.

But joining Real Madrid is one thing. Whether you can gain a foothold here is another matter. Even I can't guarantee your position. All this must be achieved through strength and hard work. Do you understand? Yang Cheng said in an elder's tone.

Pepe nodded, I will definitely be able to gain a foothold here! There was indescribable confidence in his expression.

This kid is the same as before, he hasn't changed much! Yang Cheng praised with a smile.

Then he looked at Lima, Lima, how is Alagoas doing now?

When the latter heard this, his originally cheerful expression immediately changed from sunny to cloudy, Forget it, since Corinthian received foreign support, several clubs such as Alagoas have lost their support, and now no one comes. Trained.”

Yang Cheng patted Lima's hand and felt a little sad in his heart. He still remembered that when he went to Brazil to find Deco, the group of football boys in Alagoas looked at him expectantly. They all seemed eager to take them away from Brazil.

But is Europe really a paradise?

not necessarily!

The next half of the conversation was more about the conversation between Yang Cheng and Mendes, all about Pepe's future in Real Madrid. As for Pepe's personal contract, Mendes needs to go to the Bernabeu to talk about it. It is the club. The middle and lower grades are higher than the treatment in boertu.

Real Madrid's previous offer to Bortu was 10 million euros, but Bortu quickly responded with a response of 10,000 euros, and Yang Cheng also called Bortu personally. In the end, Pepe's transfer The membership fee has been set at 11 million euros.

For Pepe, who performed very well in Porto last season, his worth is indeed not high. It can only be said to be slightly low. However, you must know that if the Portuguese league's central defenders are not in the so-called central defender shortage this summer, Being pushed to the front desk, how many of them know Pepe?

Therefore, based on this calculation, this value is relatively reasonable. On the contrary, it is Yang Cheng's transfer fee of 10,000 euros in his previous life, which is definitely an exaggerated price.

Pepe is tall and tall, with fast speed, flexible turns, and the ability to defend against heights. Moreover, he comes from the Brazilian football circle, so he is not lacking in skills. He has also played as a defensive midfielder and forward in the Portuguese Super League. It can be seen that his technical characteristics are comprehensive and enough to adapt to Yang Cheng's tactics.

And as early as last year, he had already obtained Portuguese nationality, but he had been waiting for the call of the Brazilian national team. It is said that he now has the idea of ​​​​learning from Deco and joining Portuguese nationality.

The addition of such a central defender will undoubtedly improve Real Madrid's defense strength once again.

And Pepe will also be Real Madrid's last signing this season! ! .
