Super Storm

Ancelotti came to Madrid on the second day of July.

He was accompanied by his agent Kanovi, and his son David Ancelotti.

David will also enter Real Madrid's coaching team for the new season. He has been following Giovanni Mauri recently, and Mauri has been Ancelotti's best partner for many years and a world-renowned top fitness coach.

After reaching an agreement with Real Madrid, Ancelotti and his team got the team's new season itinerary plan from Real Madrid, including North American training and Asian trips, and they are ready to prepare for the preseason.

Ancelotti came to Madrid this time, is about to usher in his first Bernabeu appearance.

Of course, his appearance cannot be as sensational as the appearance ceremonies of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Kaka two years ago, and even at the Capital Airport, no one noticed his appearance. This is the situation of the head coach. .

If you change to Yang Yang, I am afraid that it will be blocked by the media and fans from the news.

Real Madrid arranged for an employee of the athletics department to pick up at the airport and took the three Ancelotti directly to the Bernabéu Stadium.

Chief Executive Manuel Redondo, Technical Director Valdano and Special Adviser Zidane, plus Sports Director Padsa, Real Madrid's high-level executives all gathered in the Bernabeu's office to greet Ancelo The arrival of Di.

But this is still not enough.

"Mr. Perez had a very important meeting on the side of the company. He asked us to start first." Redondo noticed Ancelotti's look and explained.

Ancelotti smiled and nodded. He talked to Florentino by phone, but he also knew clearly that in today's Real Madrid club, his immediate boss was Valdano, and then Manuel Redon. After that, it was Florentino.

He even heard some news vaguely, Florentino promoted modern management in Real Madrid. In fact, he did not participate too much in the affairs. The big and small things of the club were all handed over to Redondo. He was more in control. Global.

Of course, in this case, if he appears, it will undoubtedly represent Real Madrid's importance to Ancelotti.

Unfortunately, Ancelotti knew very well that he didn't have such weight.

After all, this is not his official appearance ceremony.

...

After meeting the people, they went directly into the meeting room. After the secretary sent coffee and drinks, they immediately went to the topic.

The topic of discussion this time is the management of Real Madrid by Ancelotti, including how he intends to manage the locker room, manage the team, and whether to make appropriate changes to Valdebebas, or is he specific? Thoughts and requirements.

Bardano made it clear that Real Madrid agreed with Ancelotti's previous request, allowing him to further expand the first-team coaching staff, but up to 20 people, Real Madrid will also help pay the expenses as appropriate.

The point that many fans outside have always been misunderstood is that the salary of the own coaching staff has always been paid by the head coach.

For example, the salary of Benitez ’s team, Yesterdam and others was obtained from Benitez ’s side.

In other words, the salary paid by Real Madrid to the head coach is actually the salary paid to the entire coaching team.

Ancelotti ’s salary is not low, reaching a high price of 8 million euros a year, but Real Madrid everyone also believes that he and his team are worthy of this treatment, at least in Milan and Chelsea. Proved this.

Of course, in many cases, the club will also share the salary of some coaching teams as appropriate, so Real Madrid's requirement is that Ancelotti's coaching team must not exceed 20 people, which is also particular.

In the past two years, Guardiola has been coaching Barcelona and has been expanding its coaching team. The first-team coaching staff has reached more than 30 people when it has the most coaches, which is more than the players, which makes Barcelona expensive. Salary expenses, so after Russell came to power, he immediately asked Guardiola to reduce the coaching staff list, and the two had a conflict.

The Chinese have an old saying, "Bing Gui Jing is not expensive."

Sometimes there are a lot of coaches, but it may not be a good thing.

In addition, in the list of coaching teams submitted by Ancelotti, in addition to several old partners, there are several young people, such as his son David Ancelotti, his prospective son-in-law Minofolke, The latter is the son of Ancelotti, the assistant assistant nutritionist of Ancelotti, and Francesca Mauri, the son of fitness coach Giovanni Mauri, is the team's second physical coach.

Therefore, many times this relationship is intricate and intricate.

In addition, Redondo also said that after receiving another request from Ancelotti, Real Madrid decided that Zidane will serve as the assistant coach of Ancelotti and become the coaching team, management and The bond between the dressing rooms.

Zidane nodded politely at Ancelotti when he heard it, but his expression was somewhat helpless.

Only a very few people know that Zidane was actually caught by Florentino and was forced to take office. Otherwise, with the character of the French legend, he must still be alive for a while.

Ancelotti and Zidane are relatively familiar. The two worked together for a while in Juventus, and they also frequently contacted each other. Therefore, when it was recommended to Florentino, Zidane was the first one to think of.

This time it was his intention.

And after everyone talked about a few specific questions one after another, Florentino was finally too late.

...

"I think the first thing I need to do after I come to Real Madrid is to change the impact of the departure of the former head coach on this team. He is very successful in Real Madrid and his departure is bound to give players Bring some insecurity, they will worry about their position and situation, we need to reassure them as soon as possible. "

Ancelotti mentioned the first big thing he had to do after he entered Real Madrid.

"So, I need to establish friendship with them as soon as possible. I will talk to them one by one after the start of the season, and tell them the specific thoughts and ideas openly, as well as my positioning for them. In addition, I need to establish The leader of the team. "

Florentino looked at Redondo, Valdano and Zidane, and everyone nodded in unison.

"Do you have any specific candidates?" Florentino said without asking anything.

This is also where Real Madrid's chairman is brilliant, he is testing Ancelotti.

"I think there are three people to consider." Ancelotti replied.

"Yang Yang, there is no doubt that he should be the leader of the team on the court. According to my understanding, he doesn't talk much, but he always does his best to do things. He is the team's most diligent and hardworking, and also the most fighting spirit. Players, I think there is such a leader who can urge the entire team in the game and training. "

Ancelotti's remarks were not untargeted.

Two years after joining Real Madrid from Yangyang, the atmosphere of this Real Madrid has changed dramatically. It looks like superstars are gathered, but there is no such lazy and slack as the superstar team, but everyone is tense, every game They played very hard, even on the bench.

This is a gene, an atmosphere.

Some people say that this was brought by Benitez, which is true, but it also needs to be accepted by the players.

As if Benitez had just practiced three weeks a week when he was just coaching, everyone felt that Real Madrid superstars would not be so bitter, they would definitely react, but it turned out that Real Madrid superstars not only ate but also benefited greatly from it.

It can be said that this incident completely subverted the outside world's impression of Real Madrid's dressing room, and made everyone realize that they are no longer a group of scattered masters, but a group of players.

Although Benitez brought this change, it was absolutely inseparable from Yang Yang's support.

Just ask, the number one superstar in the team, the core of Florentino's handpicked are so hard, why do others have to slack off?

Therefore, from the beginning, Ancelotti identified Yang Yang as the leader of Real Madrid.

The leader of the locker room is Captain Casillas.

"He is a standard Madridist. From the age of ten to the age of twenty to thirty, he has always played for Real Madrid. He is the flag of the city and plays a pivotal role in the Real Madrid team. He represents Many people who have dedicated their entire life to Real Madrid can see the inheritance of Real Madrid's spirit in him. "

Everyone on the scene basically agreed with Ancelotti's judgment, Casillas will be the leader of the team's locker room.

"The last one is Ramos. We all know that he is the deputy captain of the team. The future captain. He has a very strong personal charm. He is never afraid or anxious. He is always positive, energetic and able to treat himself. 'S power is transmitted to others, and his body represents the blood and courage of Real Madrid's spirit. "

When Florentino and others heard this, they immediately looked at each other for a while, and they all noticed the signal in the other person's eyes. Ancelotti obviously did a hard job of coaching Real Madrid.

The three leaders he established seem to be nothing special, or others can be selected, but he has given different positioning, which represents his familiarity and understanding of Real Madrid.

More importantly, his remarks made Real Madrid management believe that he can bring stability to the team.

For Real Madrid now, stability can produce results, because the strength of the team is there.

"I want you to give me Yang Yang's contact information as soon as possible. I know he is on vacation, but I can't wait to talk to him about the future and talk about the team and the locker room." Said jokingly.

He is a shrewd person. He knows very well that if he wants to coach in Real Madrid, he must first get Yang Yang's support.

Even, he can offend any Real Madrid player, except Yang Yang.

Without Yang Yang's support, it is impossible for him to stay long on this team.

Fortunately, Ancelotti had a rough chat with Yang Yang before, and they were able to chat with each other. He also knew that Florentino and others had asked Yang Yang's opinion, and he must have received a positive response before he could sit. Here.

"No phone calls." Florentino shook his head.

"what?"

"He will attend your press conference, and then you will have a good chat." Real Madrid chairman smiled.
