Since Real Madrid officially announced the Christmas dinner seats last year, the media and fans have noticed this meaning.

At that time, Ancelotti won wildly and sat next to Chairman Florentino. This was also regarded by the media and fans as evidence that Italians were valued and trusted by Real Madrid's highest level, and was widely circulated.

And this year, all media and fans have also been paying attention and speculating in advance. Who will sit next to Florentino? Will the club head coach Zidane receive special treatment from Ancelotti last year?

What's different from last year is that this year's dinner is dinner.

When night fell, although there was no match, the Bernabeu was still brightly lit.

Although the renovation of the stadium is over, there are still many scaffoldings left on the outside of the stadium. In this dark night, under the lights, the entire Bernabeu stadium looks like a man-eating beast, which is a huge pressure on anyone.

Of course, Real Madrid fans will enjoy this sense of oppression.

Countless fans came to the Bernabeu spontaneously. They abide by the club's rules and stand in designated areas.

Media reporters did not get permission to enter, and they were also arranged to a specific area. Even media such as Ass, Marca and National News, which are close to Real Madrid, have not got permission to enter for interviews and take photos. At most, they can only get some official internal information and information from Real Madrid.

For example, they released the news early that Zidane will sit next to Florentino, just like Ancelotti last season, which is a recognition of the achievements made by Real Madrid's senior management in the past six months of coaching.

But after coming to the Bernabeu, with Real Madrid players arriving one after another, a few media close to Real Madrid also got photos from the club's propaganda staff. Everyone was surprised to find that there was a business card on the banquet table, and everyone took their seats according to the business card, and Yang Yang and Zidane's business cards were placed on the left and right sides of Florentino.

This is a big news!

There is no need to say more about Yang Yang's contribution to Real Madrid, and no one can deny it. As early as last year, Ascension and Marca broke the news that Real Madrid executives originally wanted Yang Yang and Ancelotti to sit in the main guest seat with Florentino, but Yang Yang recognized his player identity and chose to sit with his teammates.

So what made him change his mind this year?

The spy on this news is nothing to the ubiquitous media reporters.

Soon, they dug out the news. It turned out that Yang Yang had refused several times before, just like in previous years, but in the end, Florentino came forward in person, called him and invited him to sit beside him.

This inside story is so exciting!

Florentino personally called the invitation, which was more content than Yang Yang sitting next to the chairman, which further reflected the importance of Yang Yang in the current Real Madrid team.

Unfortunately, all media were banned from entering. Otherwise, they really wanted to hear what Yang Yang and Florentino would talk about, and whether it was about renewal?

Yang Yang's contract was only 2018, and now it is about 16 years. According to convention, such an important star should start renewing the contract, so as not to delay it or be unfavorable to the club. After all, it is indeed a very passive thing to negotiate a renewal in the contract year.

Therefore, the outside world has been speculating during this period of time whether Real Madrid should renew their contract with Yang Yang as soon as possible?

…………

…………

In fact, Florentino and Yang Yang never talked about renewing the contract.

They rarely interview such things, at most Florentino asked Yang Yang about his wishes. As for the renewal negotiations, it was more about Real Madrid chief Manuel Redondo and Jose Sanchez, director of the Ministry of Commerce, to talk to Yang Yang's agent Raiola. Florentino and Yang Yang only talked about feelings, not business affairs.

This is also a smart strategy, and negotiations are inevitably going to hurt feelings.

Florentino, Zidane, and Yang Yang mainly communicate the current situation of the team and the problems they encounter.

Both Yang Yang and Zidane knew that the team can perform well at present, and the important reason is that the team's physical fitness is very good, which is very important to Real Madrid's entire tactical system.

"We have conducted statistics ourselves. The average running distance this season has improved significantly compared to last season, and almost all players have improved, which has led to a significant improvement in the running of our entire team."

The reason why it is said almost, not all, is because both Mascherano and Modric have declined, among which Mascherano is related to age, while Modric compares the data from the first half of last season, which was the peak of his career.

So, to some extent, the decline in data between the two people is normal.

Almost all players' running distances are increasing, which drives Real Madrid's overall running ability to improve by leaps and bounds. Behind this, the contribution of Pintus and Hamidou Msaidi is crucial. The former is responsible for physical training, while the latter is responsible for recovery and physical therapy.

Zidane's vision of choosing an assistant is as sharp as his vision of choosing a player.

The essence of a football game is that simple. When Real Madrid's overall running ability is on par with their opponents or even surpasses their opponents, the team's technical and strength advantages will be reflected and even fully demonstrated.

This is why Real Madrid can always win big scores.

As for strong dialogue, there is not much difference in strength. In addition to testing the running and the enthusiasm of players, tactical targeting is also crucial, so the conservative faced with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain is the case.

Florentino also encouraged Yang Yang and Zidane, saying that the club will not be disturbed by external public opinion and are very satisfied with the team's game against Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, ​​especially the 5-0 home victory over Barcelona.

"We know better than anyone else that it would be an extraordinary achievement and a great success to achieve such a team like Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain."

In addition, Florentino also made it clear that he had notified the technical team that Real Madrid's scouting system had been launched and was looking for a suitable midfielder. As for whom he wanted to choose, it depends on the negotiation results of Zidane and Yang Yang.

Obviously, the team's performance has improved, coupled with the influence of Yang Yang and Zidane in the team, it is impossible not to ask for their opinions if they sign up.

However, what surprised Yang Yang was that Florentino then asked about Yang Yang's progress in investing in Ajax with concern.

Due to the sponsor, Yang Yang's investment in Ajax will bring a lot of chain reactions and troubles, so Yang Yang and Raiola both decided to deal with it in a low-key manner to the outside world, and the Ajax management also agreed to cooperate.

After all, this is the operation of the capital market. At that time, Yang Yang will set up a company to inject capital into Ajax.

But there are still many details in the negotiations, but a consensus has been basically reached.

After all, it has been delayed for several months, and Ajax's financial pressure is getting stronger and stronger, and he can't stand it anymore.

Although it is handled and kept confidential to the outside world, it is impossible to hide it in the football circle, especially in the core European football circle. Not only Florentino knows it, but many club executives and UEFA officials, and even FIFA know it, but no one says it.

Yang Yang's investment in Ajax as an investor is more regarded as a support for his former parent team, and it does not conflict with him now playing football for Real Madrid as a professional player.

"Ajax has always been a talent training camp for European football, but in the past, it has always been more closely related to Barcelona. It was only in recent years that we have introduced players such as Escud, Van der Fat, Sneider and Hunterra, which has some cooperation."

When Florentino said this, he looked at Yang Yang deeply, "Ajax is the cradle of talent. If you enter the management of Ajax, we are happy to see Real Madrid and Ajax cooperate more deeply, and we are even willing to support it wherever we can."

Yang Yang understood that this is also a strategy of uniting and connecting.

Due to the relationship between Cruyff, Michels and others, Ajax and even Dutch football has always been regarded as Barcelona's youth training base. From Van Gaal to Cruyvit, Reziger and others back then, Barcelona's Dutch color is very strong.

But in recent years, Real Madrid and Ajax will obviously have more cooperation.

If Yang Yang enters Ajax's management, Real Madrid will definitely support it. After all, they also hope to have further cooperation with Ajax, especially in training young players or in transfers.

For example, Real Madrid rents many young players to play in other teams every year. Ajax is a very good platform. If they can cooperate in this area, Real Madrid will also benefit a lot.

Of course, Yang Yang would not refuse Florentino's olive branch. He also knew very well about the current situation of Ajax. At a time when young players' value soared, even if Ajax wanted to compete with the giant team, he could not grab it. He could only hope to train himself, or poach teams or leagues at lower levels.

Cooperation with giant teams can also be a way for Ajax to run. After all, giant teams, especially giant teams like Real Madrid, have recruited too many talents. For example, Norwegian talented player Martin Odgao, is a talented young player who is coveted throughout Europe.

"The negotiations have not finally settled." Yang Yang said with a smile, "After the negotiations are completed, I hope to do my best to promote cooperation."

Yang Yang did not say anything to death because Ajax did not refuse Real Madrid, nor did he refuse other teams because of Real Madrid.

This has nothing to do with Yang Yang playing for Real Madrid.

Florentino naturally knew this very well. He never thought of using Yang Yang's relationship to stop Ajax from cooperating with other giant teams. This is impossible and unrealistic.
