1207 World Cup Syndrome

Yang Yang returns to the team!

This quickly became a major news in Spain and even European football.

Even in the news of Spanish National Television, it was stated that Yang Yang's return to the team means that Real Madrid's backbone has finally returned, and all the previous concerns and speculations about Real Madrid can be temporarily concluded!

As and Marca both were excited about Yang Yang's return and said that the invincible Real Madrid will return soon!

In the afternoon of the same day, Real Madrid officially held a press conference in Valdebebas, attracting more than 200 media reporters, obviously all of whom came for Yang Yang. But what was disappointing was that Yang Yang did not attend the scene, but head coach Ancelotti brought Ramos and Marcelo to the press conference hall.

Real Madrid technical director Bardano, and chairman's special counsel and chief assistant coach Zidane attended the press conference.

Ancelotti publicly announced in front of media reporters from around the world that Ramos will serve as the team's new captain, and Marcelo will serve as the team's deputy captain. He believes that the two players can manage the team's locker room well for a long time in the future and allow the team to play higher-level football on the court.

Ramos later delivered his first speech after being the captain of the team. He first reflected on his performance last season, saying that he would work hard to correct some problems and urge him to continue to make progress. At the same time, he was also very grateful for the support and encouragement from the coaching staff and teammates.

During his speech, Ramos also specifically mentioned Yang Yang, saying that Yang Yang gave him great help, whether in the past, present, or in the future, and during his tenure as captain, he would actively listen to opinions from Yang Yang and other teammates.

Then he entered the free questioning session, and many media were more concerned about Yang Yang's situation and why he failed to become the captain. Is it because Real Madrid officials put pressure on it?

Ancelotti smiled and said, "The first thing he did when he came to Valdebebas this morning was to come to my office. He told me in person that he had never thought of being the captain, and he thought he should follow the traditions of the team over the past years."

As for why you choose to trust Ramos?

Ancelotti still quoted the reason Yang Yang said, "Everyone needs time to grow up. Ramos undoubtedly made some mistakes, but we should see his positive side. We all believe that the captain's armband will make him more mature, more stable, and more responsible."

There is also Yang Yang's injury. Ancelotti said that the team doctor is undergoing a detailed physical examination. The report has not been released yet, but the problem is not serious. "He just experienced an extremely glorious World Cup journey. His physical and mental health are obviously not meeting the requirements for participating in high-intensity competitions immediately, so we will give him more time to adjust."

"I always say the same thing. Yang Yang is the most important player in our team. We are always looking forward to him regaining his best form. We always believe that the unstoppable Yang Yang will definitely come back soon!"

...

Perhaps it is because Yang Yang has been too self-disciplined and diligent in the past few years that when Ancelotti said that he would let Yang Yang take more rest and adjust at the beginning of the season, everyone was a little uncomfortable.

Some media conspiracy theories even revealed that Ancelotti's statement was actually telling everyone that Yang Yang failed to compete for the captain and was banned by Real Madrid, which immediately caused panic among many unknown fans.

But in fact, this is simply a bad hype that makes something out of nothing.

When Yang Yang began to invest in high-intensity preseason physical energy reserve training, Real Madrid's new season also officially set off.

The first game was the European Super Cup. This event was held on August 12 this year. The venue was not the former Louis II Stadium of Monaco, but the current Millennium Stadium of Cardiff, England.

Real Madrid plays with the strongest and most uniform lineup except Yang Yang for the first time in the new season. The opponent is the UEFA Champion last season and the La Liga team Sevilla.

Yang Yang was not arranged on the roster, nor even followed the team to the UK, but stayed in Madrid to continue his training. This was also a training specially customized for Ancelotti's coaching staff, with the purpose of helping him through this difficult trough after the World Cup and overcome World Cup syndrome.

At the Millennium Stadium, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 2-0 with Suarez's double score.

Di Maria, who just renewed her contract and Tony Cross, who joined the new team, performed well in this game, each with an assist, and players such as James Rodriguez also made appearances one after another.

It is worth mentioning that the main goalkeeper is Courtois.

...

The process of defeating Sevilla 2-0 was unstoppable, which made Real Madrid's prospects for the new season extremely exciting. It is particularly worth noting that Real Madrid has maintained an unbeaten record so far.

But then, after the team played the European Super Cup, they did not return to Madrid, but went to Bosnia and Herzegovina to play a warm-up match. The opponent was Serie A Fiorentina. As a result, Real Madrid suffered another setback and lost to the Serie A team one-two.

In this way, Real Madrid's warm-up match in the new season actually encountered the embarrassment of being wiped out, without even a draw.

After finally defeating Sevilla and winning the European Super Cup, Real Madrid had not had time to enjoy the praise of the media and fans, and was immediately knocked from heaven to hell. All media attacked one after another, believing that Real Madrid's problem was very serious, and it was even likely that they would encounter the embarrassing situation of Barcelona last season in the new season.

In other words, there are many stars, but in fact they lack competitiveness.

After returning to Spain, Real Madrid soon ushered in the Spanish Super Cup, with their opponents last season's Champions League final opponent Atletico Madrid.

The Bedsheets Legion suffered heavy losses, but Simeone's team is still full of competitiveness.

At the Bernabeu Stadium, the Bedding Legion defended tenaciously, blocking Real Madrid's tide offensive. Oblak, the newly introduced goalkeeper, performed so eye-catching, while Real Madrid encountered the embarrassment of unfavorable offense, especially after the first half, Suarez was injured, which made Real Madrid's offense even more weak in the second half.

Until the 81st minute, Tony Kroos made a straight pass, Carvajal inserted from the right and made a cross. Hesse shot from the edge of the small penalty area, blocked by goalkeeper Oblak, and James Rodriguez shot after the insertion made a follow-up shot, scoring the winning goal for Real Madrid.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 at home.

Three days later, Real Madrid was visiting Calderon Stadium, and Courtois encountered crazy booing from Atletico fans.

Just two minutes into the opening game, Mandzuki scored a goal for Atletico Madrid, and then no matter how Real Madrid attacked, he failed to turn the situation around. Until the last stage of the game, in the second minute of stoppage time, Ramos headed the ball with a corner kick, breaking the Atletico Madrid goal and tied the score.

In the end, Real Madrid drew against Atletico Madrid with Ramos' header, and successfully won the Spanish Super Cup championship with a total score of 2-1.

But after the game, Real Madrid's performance caused controversy.

Many media believe that Yang Yang has not played for a long time, Suarez is injured again, and young player Hesse is very diligent, but it seems that he has not recovered the state he had before the injury, which puts Real Madrid's offense into a trough.

...

Due to the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid's first round of La Liga is two days later than other teams, but for Real Madrid, which has been playing in the European Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup, the schedule is still very intensive.

Fortunately, Suarez finally returned from injury in the first round.

At the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid beat Cordoba 2-0 with Suarez's goal in the 30th minute and Hesse's icing on the cake in the 90th minute after he came on the bench.

This is also Hersey's first goal since he returned from a serious injury!

The Bernabeu Stadium gave him warm applause and encouraged him, hoping that he could get back his best form as soon as possible and win the recognition of the fans again.

Yang Yang still has not entered the team's roster. Ancelotti's explanation for this is that Yang Yang is still adjusting and recovering, and has not met the requirements of the club and coaching staff.

Just after the first round, Yang Yang went to the Grimalti Conference Center in Monaco to participate in the UEFA Champions League group stage draw and award ceremony. He won the two most important honors of the Best Player and Best Scorer in the Season without any suspense.

Yang Yang said that he was not having a good time in the new season, but Ancelotti and the coaching staff did communicate with him before, so he could only wait patiently.

"I hope to return to the arena as soon as possible and compete for the team!" Yang Yang said anxiously.

In the group draw, Real Madrid drew Yang Yang's former club Liverpool, and the other two teams were Basel of Switzerland and Ludogorec of Bulgaria.

...

When Yang Yang returned from Monaco with reputation and shouted out his desire to return to the field, everyone thought he would play in the second round, but unexpectedly, Yang Yang still did not enter the roster of the away game challenging Real Sociedad in the second round.

On the away game, Real Madrid took the lead with Ramos' header in the fifth minute, and then Di Maria won another goal for the team.

But just when everyone thought that Real Madrid would be in a state of great power and defeated their opponents, from the 30th minute, Real Sociedad launched a crazy counterattack. Former Real Madrid midfielder Granero performed well. Real Sociedad also kicked his head and broke Real Madrid's goal four times in a row, and finally reversed Real Madrid four-two.

Real Madrid suffered a 2-4 away defeat, not only ended their unbeaten record, but also encountered a shameful battle.

The media outside attacked in groups, and Real Madrid fans also expressed dissatisfaction with the team's situation. Courtois was affected by the first crisis of trust after joining Real Madrid and won the lowest score in the game.

Yang Yang knocked on the door of Ancelotti's office the day after the team returned to Madrid, before the training class began.
