Super Coach

692 We only want the best!

A flight from Monaco landed slowly at Madrid Airport. M

Not long after, the passengers passed customs, walked out of the gate, and entered the waiting hall.

As the capital airport of Spain, there are always people coming and going in the departure hall, and some celebrities appear and appear almost every day. Therefore, no one cares too much about who they see. At best, they can just go up and ask for an autograph. If you have enough time, , you can also take a photo together, post it on Weibo and blog, and make a splash.

And if they are those who are not well-known, it will be difficult to attract the attention of this group of well-informed capital residents.

Douglas? Maicon undoubtedly belongs to the latter. He only played in Ligue 1 and performed well, but Monaco is small and did not attract much attention. His most glorious history was in the 2007 America's Cup, and he became the Copa America. One of the most dazzling stars in the world, but before the Copa America, he joined Real Madrid at a low price, which caused him to miss out on invitations from many wealthy clubs, including Chelsea and Milan.

There were many reasons for him to join Real Madrid, both because of Yang Cheng and because of Real Madrid. The decisive link was the Brazilian agent next to him, Marshall? Figel, Juan? Ferger's son!

In recent years, Juan? Figel has begun to retire, and the business has gradually been transferred to Marshall's hands. It is only natural that his son inherits my family business. Marshall has been helping Figel manage the business. After the change of hands, the business has become somewhat Slumping, Marshall is looking to transform.

Jorge? Mendes used to be the partner of the Figel family in Portugal. When Figo moved to Real Madrid, the middle operator was Figel, and it was Mendes who convinced Figo. However, as Figo gradually aged, , Mendes left the mjf company founded by the Figel family and went it alone, poaching a lot of business, especially the Portuguese market.

Figel's retirement is undoubtedly fatal to Brazilian football. In the past, he had a very wide network of contacts, and European customers had great trust in his vision. However, now Marshall is obviously not important enough, and there is a lack of successors. As a result, many outstanding young players in Brazil failed to successfully land in Europe, resulting in a sharp decline in the export of Brazilian players.

But with the connections left behind by Figel, will Marshall still get Antonio, the famous French agent? Caliendo grabbed Maicon from their hands. This was the agreement reached after Maicon joined Real Madrid. The Frenchman is a very famous agent. He introduced Del Piero, Trezeguet, Henry, Thuram and other players.

For Marshall, the most important thing now is to keep the brokerage company's business first, consolidate those old customers and the most advantageous Brazilian market, and then pursue others.

So this time, he personally accompanied Maicon to Madrid, hoping to further close the relationship with Yang Cheng.

This head coach is the number one coach in football today, and behind him is not only Europe, but also China. Marshall knows very well how big the Chinese league market is, and the teams there don't know how to go there. The introduction of high-quality foreign aid is undoubtedly a huge market for him.

Ah, you are... Maicon?

When Marshall and Maicon walked out of the gate and were about to go to the gate exit, a fan on the way recognized Maicon wearing sunglasses and shouted in surprise.

Yes, hello! Maicon smiled and nodded. He was also very happy to be recognized.

Welcome to Madrid! The fan suddenly laughed, Can you sign your autograph for me? He began to look for the autograph book in his backpack in a hurry.

Maicon nodded and took the signature book and pen. After opening it, he found that many pages in the signature book had been signed. The front page was signed with a Chinese signature, Yang Cheng, everyone. You know, Yang Cheng's signatures are always in Chinese only.

As a newly joined player, Maicon was placed on the last page, but he still signed his name very skillfully.

Caesar's vision has always been very accurate. We all believe that you will succeed in Real Madrid. Come on! The fan encouraged while taking back the autograph book and clenching his fists.

Maicon couldn't help but nod. What he could feel was the trust and love this Madrid fan had for Yang Cheng.

Watching the fan leave, Maicon smiled slightly and said, Mr. Yang Cheng seems to have only been in charge of Real Madrid for two years, right?

Marshall nodded, That's right!

But it seems that he feels a bit like Ferguson of Real Madrid! Maicon said in surprise.

It takes two years to conquer a city, which is considered rare in the field of football head coaches, especially in the picky and noble Madrid. The fans here are not easily impressed.

My father mentioned Yang Cheng to me when I was about to come to Europe. He said that Yang Cheng is a unique person who deserves respect, but he is also a very troublesome negotiating opponent because he is sometimes more... We also have to get to know the players.

When he said this, Marshall looked at Maicon with a smile, My father also said that if Yang Cheng likes you, it proves that you will become the strongest right back in the world. Do a good job, Douglas!

Maicon's shoulder was patted by Marshall. It was very light, but he felt it was very heavy.

This weight does not come from Marshall, but from Yang Cheng, but Maicon will not feel this is a pressure. On the contrary, he has always been very eager to play under Yang Cheng. For him, this is A motivation.

When they walked to the exit, the staff of Real Madrid's Valdebebas training base came to receive them. They got into the Audi provided by the club's sponsor and headed to Valdebebas not far away.

…………

…………

The first thing they did when they arrived in Valdebebas was that they toured the entire training base accompanied by the staff. From the staff, they also knew that Yang Cheng went to Russia to watch last night's Champions League game. The final, likely to return to the club at noon today.

He hopes you can stay and have lunch together, Mr. Figel! the staff member conveyed Yang Cheng's words.

Marshall and Maicon both nodded. Yang Cheng's invitation was a rare thing for them.

After touring the training base, they went to the medical area.

With the gradual improvement of Valdebebas, the main body of the dormitory building has been completed and the decoration has already begun. The construction period is being rushed and it is hoped to be put into use before the new season. The medical team has also opened a new building next to the training building. A single-story medical area where all medical facilities and equipment are placed.

Maicon has heard about Yang Cheng's medical team for a long time. He also knows that more than a dozen European giants and teams, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Inter Milan, and Bayern Munich, all use the medical treatment developed by Yang Cheng. and rehabilitation systems, and purchased their equipment and software. I even heard that the business has now expanded to several major professional competition leagues in the United States.

Of course the most famous person in Yang Cheng's medical team is Chris? Schmidt, and Gianni, who became famous for his surgery on Baggio? Nanni, so when Maicon saw the two of them, he was a little unbelievable.

However, Maicon was a bit overwhelmed by the subsequent series of detailed and tedious tests. It was said that some of them had to go to a hospital in the center of Madrid, which surprised Maicon.

Behind every top team, there must be a strict and unfamiliar behind-the-scenes team! Chris? Schmidt smiled and cleared up his doubts, while also telling him what the test did.

After completing the test, Maicon went to the hospital in the city. The final test data showed that Maicon was in excellent physical condition, which also meant that the last obstacle to his joining Real Madrid had been eliminated.

Welcome to Real Madrid! I'm looking forward to meeting you and training with you! I wish you all the best and hope we can help Real Madrid succeed together! The signature is, Raul? Gonzalez.

This was a text message Maicon received on the way to the Bernabeu after finishing his medical examination.

Raul, the one who sent him a text message was the flag of Real Madrid, Raul!

Maicon couldn't believe it. He originally thought that Real Madrid's local forces would be more repulsive to foreign aid, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Madrid, Raul couldn't wait to send him a welcome message. This really made him a little uneasy. His heart was completely relieved, and he began to look forward to his journey in Madrid.

Following Raul, the team's second vice-captain Casillas also sent a welcome message. The content was different from Raul, but the meaning was almost the same.

According to the staff's explanation, neither of them are currently in Madrid. Raul was not selected for the European Cup and went on vacation, while Casillas was participating in the training camp before the European Cup. They were obviously conveyed by the club. Knowing the news of Maicon's arrival made Maicon feel friendly.

The captain of Real Madrid is not just as simple as wearing the captain's armband, but it also means that the captain must be a role model for everyone in the team and set an example. The pressure is greater than anyone else! the staff explained with a smile, Lao He was one of the great captains of our team and Casillas will be too!

After arriving at the Bernabeu Stadium, which is full of sacred atmosphere, Maicon couldn't help but look up at this magnificent stadium standing in the bustling downtown of Madrid. What he felt was a heavy and solemn history. What he felt was this club. of weight and glory.

Players' signing ceremonies are actually not as grand as the outside world says. After all, not every player can attract hundreds of reporters to the scene like Kaká. For those players who lack influence, they usually just attend. It's very simple to sign a contract in a conference room or office, take a few photos, send them to newspapers and media, and then log on to the club's official website.

Maicon's signing ceremony was arranged in Yang Cheng's office, where he saw for the first time Yang Cheng, who had rushed back from Russia in a hurry. The latter had a kind smile on his face and did not look like a head coach at all. Majesty is more like the natural harmony between friends.

Welcome to Real Madrid! Yang Cheng shook hands with Maicon and expressed welcome.

Marshall, I just called Juan. I'm afraid we have to talk about Marcelo's contract extension by the way!

Marshall couldn't help but nod. He had to say that he was used to head coaches, but a head coach like Yang Cheng, who was easy-going but took the initiative in every aspect and had an aura that made people want to obey, was really, really good. Rare.

The three people sat down in front of Yang Cheng's desk. The club's management, Butragueno and Piri, also came to the scene, but they just watched. Yang Cheng took out a document and put it on his desk. .

Well, I have to say something first, Douglas! Yang Cheng said with a serious face before opening the contract.

Maicon nodded seriously and listened, knowing that Yang Cheng's words would definitely not be simple.

This is Real Madrid. This is different from all other clubs! Yang Cheng continued after seeing Maicon nod: So, signing this name and wearing the Real Madrid jersey means that you are very honored. It's an honor to be part of Real Madrid, but it's also a pressure.

Players of Real Madrid must work harder and harder than players of other teams to achieve the most outstanding success, because success is nothing to Real Madrid. The history of this club is forged with a series of successes. , so here, we will always pursue only the best!”

Yang Cheng didn't say it, but Maicon knew that Real Madrid demands the best for players, and Real Madrid also demands the best for champions.

After a moment of seriousness, Yang Cheng smiled slightly and relaxed the atmosphere, Of course, you can also consider it. It's still too late if you don't sign!

Maicon almost wanted to laugh, but after watching Yang Cheng open the contract text, he just browsed a few key positions, and then signed his name below.

This contract was negotiated between Martial and Real Madrid before. Maicon's salary in Real Madrid's first season will be slightly higher than when he was in Monaco, but not too high, but Real Madrid also promised that once he performs well, he will increase it. Maicon's annual salary and bonus.

In Yang Cheng's office, Maicon changed into a Real Madrid jersey. This time he took over the No. 2 jersey left by Salgado. This was also his number in the Brazilian national team, and from the number It was obvious that Yang Cheng valued him, which made him secretly make up his mind.

Real Madrid only want the best players, and me, Douglas? Maicon is the best!

…………

…………

After signing the contract and taking photos, Yang Cheng took Maicon and Martial to a restaurant frequented by Real Madrid players and had lunch together. In the meantime, Yang Cheng had people bring them back from Valdebebas. He prepared a meeting gift for Maicon.

A DVD about the history of the Real Madrid team, which is also a product specially produced by Real Madrid for sale to fans, but there is also a disciplinary booklet about the Real Madrid locker room, which Yang Cheng will submit to every newcomer who joins the team. After all, this detailed booklet will help them adapt to the team faster.

Of course, a team's preparation schedule is indispensable, and there is also a report specially made by the scouting department for Maicon, analyzing Maicon's strengths and weaknesses, as well as his responsibilities and tasks in Real Madrid, and how to use his advantages. How to integrate into the team and so on.

It was only after Maicon saw this report that he discovered that Real Madrid's scouts had watched almost every game he played in Ligue 1 in the past two seasons, including all his games with the Brazilian national team. It made him really feel like he was being taken seriously.

At the very least, Yang Cheng wasn't lying when he said he valued him, otherwise it wouldn't be possible.

For this reason, before Maicon is about to leave Real Madrid and go on vacation, he can't help but guarantee that he will go all out in Real Madrid!

After sending away Maicon, Yang Cheng must continue to stay in the team and negotiate with Florentino, Butragueno and Piri for the team's signings this season.

According to Yang Cheng's previous agreement with Florentino, Real Madrid will introduce another superstar this season. However, due to the departure of Cannavaro, Helguera and others, Real Madrid's defense must have enough reinforcements.

Ramos, Thiago? Silva and Pepe, the three central defenders are indeed suitable, but in the new season Real Madrid will continue to fight on multiple fronts. Three central defenders are enough, but introducing another one will be safer and more secure.

Therefore, Yang Cheng's previous signing plan was to introduce another central defender.

However, according to Yang Cheng's long-standing habit, the introduction of veterans is obviously not in line with his current team building strategy. If he wants to introduce veterans, it is better to simply keep Cannavaro. The Italian has played in Real Madrid for at least two years and is better than other veterans. more suitable.

But if you don’t bring in veterans, you can’t bring in a current star. There are very few current stars who are willing to give up their promising future and come to Real Madrid as a substitute. They are not that stupid, so in the end Yang Cheng decided to introduce another young rookie. .

Yang Cheng has his own requirements for defensive line players, and he already has the right candidate.

In addition to the defense line, the goalkeeper changes have been completed, Antonio? Will Adan replace Diego? Lopez serves as the team's second goalkeeper. The third goalkeeper is from Castilla and can be deployed at any time. Yang Cheng is also very satisfied with the team's frontcourt staffing, especially the midfielder.

Harvey? The double midfielder combination of Alonso and Mascherano has become the leading double midfielder combination in today's football. In the past two years, its performance has become more and more stable and its strength has become stronger. De La Rede and Granero have also He has made rapid progress, proving that he is a qualified bench for the team, and can also help the team at critical moments.

Yang Cheng has always been worried about Dela Rede's heart, so he has to test his heart almost every day during training, but no abnormality has been found. Yang Cheng still does not relax his vigilance. After all, Dela Rede had a heart attack in his previous life. He almost died suddenly due to a sudden stop, so he paid great attention to Draled's heart.

Not only De La Red, but other Real Madrid players, including youth team players, also attach great importance to this aspect of protection, but it is not as cumbersome as De La Red having to be tested once a day.

Yang Cheng's transfer strategy for Real Madrid this season is to keep the overall framework unchanged, but strengthen local details. At the same time, he will continue to dig deeper into the team's tactical details. As he said before, Real Madrid will be in the new season. The offensive advancement speed is further improved, which is not only reflected in the speed and explosive power of the players, but also comes from the tactical details.

For this, he already has a complete set of preparation plans!
