Although it was a holiday, Yang Yang actually took some time to train every day, which allowed him to maintain his physical condition very well after returning to the team, and his weight did not exceed the standard, so he still maintained his physical condition very standard.

At that time, the entire Real Madrid team was in the physical examination room and admired them very much, especially several new players.

Being able to maintain self-discipline during the season is the professional spirit of the players. But if you can be so self-disciplined outside of the season, you can really rely on the constraints of the players themselves.

But this is just the beginning.

After the training camp started, Real Madrid began to join the busy pre-season training camp, and Yang Yang was no exception.

I come to Valdebebas on time at 9 o'clock every morning and start training an hour before starting.

The little apprentices Hesse, Kavajal and Marcelo have been following Yang Yang to practice recently. Needless to say, Kavajal wants to grab the main position, while Marcelo is trying hard to find his best form.

Just kidding, in the second half of last season, he was suppressed by Azpilicueta. If he didn't work harder and lost his main position, it would be difficult for him to find it again.

After an hour of extra training, the team's training was the same. Ancelotti still followed the original method. The intensity of pre-season training was very high. Although it was only practiced twice a day, it was really the kind of person who could make people lose their skin.

After the morning training class, everyone would have lunch at the training base. After that, there was a lunch break. After the afternoon pause, Yang Yang went to the swimming pool to swim. This was also a good habit he had maintained for many years. Even in the cold winter, he would still insist on swimming and never slacked off.

Ancelotti likes to hold meetings. After lunch break every afternoon, there will be about an hour of tactical meetings. Italians will specially find a lot of videos and materials to analyze the tactical ideas he wants to express with everyone.

According to his ideas, Real Madrid will continue to adopt the 433 formation this season, but will also consider the 4321 Christmas tree formation and the 442 formation, as well as the 352 formation of the three defenders.

Don't be confused by this set of formations, thinking that Ancelotti wants to practice multiple sets of tactical play, but in fact it is not, because the formation is often just to facilitate players to understand the tactics on the field.

It's like the 442 formation. If Mascherano and Xavi Martinez's defensive midfielder retreat, the two central defenders pull the side and the full-back presses forward, then the 442 will immediately become 352, which can be switched smoothly on the court.

As the saying goes, soldiers have no constant momentum, water has no constant shape, players run on the court and have no fixed position.

Especially in recent years, this trend has become increasingly obvious.

...

After the tactical meeting, we usually take a break and immediately have afternoon training classes.

Then Yang Yang will stay and practice with Marcelo and other teammates, usually leaving at around 19:30.

This is Yang Yang's daily schedule for pre-season training in the past few years. No matter how strong Ancelotti is on the training ground, he will choose to stay and practice more after training.

Winston Bogard, like in previous years, tailored a training plan for Yang Yang, hoping to help Yang Yang further stimulate and tap his potential while maintaining his peak state.

Before he knew it, Yang Yang was already twenty-six years old and was twenty-seven in October. Now he is undoubtedly at the peak of his physical condition, so he himself tried his best to endure himself, trying hard to climb a new peak, show better condition and performance, and constantly break through himself.

As the number one person in the world football world, he has no opponent in front of him, because legendary seniors such as Pele and Maradona are out of reach, and it is impossible for Guan Gong to fight Qin Qiong to appear, so he can only use his own limit as his goal and strive to break through the limit.

Real Madrid's first warm-up match for the new season was a week after training camp, at Bournemouth, England.

Since it was the first warm-up match and his opponent was not strong enough, Ancelotti still arranged the 433 formation to serve as the 433rd formation.

Goalkeeper Casillas, with Marcelo, Fermallen, Varane and Carvajal in the back line, Mascherano dragged behind in the midfield, Isco and Modric ahead, and Hazard, Yang Yang and Robben in the front court.

The game was divided into two halfs. Ancelotti changed all the lineups in one breath, and in the second half, he adopted a tactical style of 442, allowing Suarez and Morata to serve as double strikers.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Yang Yang scored a direct free kick close to 30 meters, opening the first record for Real Madrid. Then Yang Yang drifted past the goalkeeper and pushed the ball into the empty goal. Before the first half was about to end, Mascherano scored a goal in chaos, helping the team lead three-to-zero in the first half.

After changing the team in the second half, Suarez broke through the opponent's defense in just two minutes and scored a goal with a single shot. Then Di Maria and Ilia La Mendi scored goals one after another.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Bournemouth 6-0 away and won their first warm-up match.

...

The first win in the warm-up match did not attract much attention, because the strength gap between the two sides was huge, and everyone valued Real Madrid's performance more, while new players Suarez, Isco and Ilia La Mendi were all very surprised.

Especially Isco, who replaced David Silva, who played for the Federation Cup, performed very well in the 21-year-old Spanish midfielder, especially the cooperation with Hazard several times, which made people's eyes shine.

Ancelotti also intends to investigate Hazard in this game. The connection and cooperation between Isco and Modric are all ball-controlling players. Hazard and Isco both have strong dribbling and breakthrough capabilities, and Modric's organization and field control capabilities are very outstanding. This combination is very exciting.

The final result was surprise, but also shortcomings, mainly because the players did not cooperate with each other.

If it was a surprise to win over Bournemouth in the first game, the away game against Lyon in the second warm-up game was a test of a strong dialogue, but at this time Real Madrid had just experienced a week of devil training, and both physically and in good condition were obviously unsatisfactory.

In contrast, Lyon, because the Ligue 1 started earlier and their training time was earlier, their condition was obviously adjusted better, which made Lyon players obviously play more in a state on the court.

At this time, the most important thing for the team is to practice tactics and cooperate routines and play some things.

Everyone in Real Madrid performed very poorly in the first half. Lyon scored a goal in the 20th minute, and then until the 62nd minute of the second half, Lyon won another goal and expanded the score.

Ancelotti still made a large substitution in the first and second half, and Real Madrid continued until the 78th minute, when Hesse dribbled into the left side of the penalty area and tripped. Morata took the penalty kick and scored a goal for Real Madrid.

Seven minutes later, Morata created a corner kick opportunity, Di Maria took the corner kick, and Fermalen headed the ball to lock the score to two-to-two.

In the end, Real Madrid drew 2-2 away against Lyon.

Three days later, Real Madrid ushered in its third warm-up match in Gothenburg, Sweden, and its opponent was Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.

This is another strong opponent, and Ancelotti has a Christmas tree formation in the lineup of this game, consisting of Herrera, Mascherano and Modric, with three back midfielders in front of him, and Hazard and Isco, with Yang Yang as a single forward.

This is a very interesting tactical style. Real Madrid firmly controlled the scene in the first half, and crushed Paris Saint-Germain in passing and controlling the ball and creating opportunities. However, the players' condition was obviously not good. Even Yang Yang frequently missed opportunities. Only in the 23rd minute, Hazard made a straight pass in a quick counterattack, and Yang Yang scored a low shot.

This is also the only goal in the game.

After the second half of the game, Ancelotti did not make all substitutions this time, but instead replaced Yang Yang and others, changing the three-five-two style of the three-guards in the formation, obviously still playing with the team.

In the end, the score of 1-0 was maintained until the end of the game, with Real Madrid defeating Paris Saint-Germain with one goal.

…………

…………

After playing Paris Saint-Germain, the entire Real Madrid team went to the United States to participate in the International Champions League.

The first round of the game was in Phoenix against the Los Angeles Galaxy led by Beckham.

Isco made a very outstanding performance. He first made a long pass in the fifteenth minute. Yang Yang inserted the ball and then passed the ball across the right. Robben, who was unguarded, easily shot and hit it.

The second half of the game changed sides and Isco's diagonal pass was again, and Yang Yang scored a low shot, 2-0.

Although Los Angeles Galaxy scored a goal later, Di Maria, who came on the bench, made a cross after forming a breakthrough on the wing, and Suarez headed the ball at the front of the small penalty area, locking the score at three-to-one.

Isco became the best player in this game and played the whole game.

…………

…………

Three days later, in Los Angeles, Real Madrid ushered in the semi-finals of the International Champions League, with Everton.

Yang Yang drifted past the goalkeeper and shot the empty goal in the 17th minute. After receiving Modric's pass again in the 31st minute, he made a selfless pass, and Hazard made a push shot the empty goal.

In the second half, Everton scored a goal and the final score was set to two-to-one.

On August 7, Miami, the International Champions League final, Real Madrid plays against Chelsea.

In the 14th minute, Real Madrid assisted Marcelo to score a goal, but two minutes later, Ramirez equalized the score with Lukaku's pass.

In the 31st minute, Yang Yang scored a direct free kick and broke Chelsea's goal, leading the score again.

In the 57th minute of the second half, Suarez passed the ball, Isco made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Yang Yang headed the ball from a close distance, scoring twice, and also locked the score at 3-1.

In the end, Real Madrid won the International Champions League this year!

But the most gratifying thing about this final was Casillas' recovery in form. His performance throughout the game was impressive, especially during Chelsea's repetition period, he saved three key shots in five minutes, and his condition was very brave.
