Yi Zhe is trying to change. He knows that coming to Real Madrid may seem like a glamor, but in fact everything depends entirely on himself, and it can't even be done by working hard on the court. The star halo is most needed here, but the halo is the least valuable thing here.
Everything depends on whether it integrates.
But at least this first step seems to be going well.
However, Zidane called Yi Zhe aside after three days of training sessions.
"Yi, I noticed that you seem to have reservations, why?"
Hearing what the head coach said, Yi Zhe smiled bitterly.
In these three days of training sessions, in order to integrate into the team and get everyone involved, he really did not use his full strength. At least in the group tactical confrontation, his personal super frontcourt assault ability was not demonstrated at all.
"Uh... sir."
Yi Zhe smiled bitterly. He didn't know what to say. He knew that lying would never deceive Zidane.
Zidane kept staring at Yi Zhe's face and slowly smiled. He seemed to have guessed Yi Zhe's thoughts. He smiled and said to Yi Zhe: "Yi, although you have just come to Real Madrid, in my tactics, you Definitely more than just a piece of the puzzle, if you continue like this I can only think you won't be able to adapt to Real Madrid!"
Yi Zhe smiled bitterly. Although he completely understood the coach's thoughts, he couldn't tell the truth. He could tell that Zidane had high expectations for him.
"I understand, sir."
Zidane came over and patted him hard on the shoulder: "Don't be constrained by some common sense. You know your worth. What you get for 200 million euros should not be just a tool man."
In the next few days of training, reporters who almost came to follow the filming found some clues. In Real Madrid's midfield three-legged position, Yi Zhe's position gradually moved forward and closer to the penalty area, while Modric's position was closer to the penalty area. Pulling back, there was an obvious role reversal.
The number of times Yi Zhe holds the ball has increased significantly. You can hear his voice calling for and greeting his teammates on the training ground, which shows that he has fully integrated into this team, and the bright eyes of the Madrid reporters throughout the whole process are telling everyone that they are They definitely saw content that made their eyes shine.
"Luka, get up!"
Yi Zhe showed his ability to control both offense and defense on the training ground. When he retreated from the field, Modric immediately pressed forward to take control of the ball and continued to complete the control.
Zidane is obviously very satisfied with the results of the training. Originally, it was normal for him to be clumsy for the new season at this stage, but he didn't care at all.
"I am very satisfied with the team's performance. Although we still need some games to prepare for the new season, it at least proves that our players have shown the best professional qualities during this holiday."
"What do you think of Yi's performance? It seems that you are ready to let him control Real Madrid's midfield?"
Zidane turned to stare at the reporter: "That's the job of the coaching staff. All you need to do is wait patiently."
On the other side, Yi Zhe was being interviewed by Chinese reporters.
"Yizhe, how does it feel to live in Real Madrid?"
Yi Zhe blinked: "Very good, I think it's not difficult to find it through the training ground, right?"
The reporters all laughed, and some asked relentlessly: "Yi Zhe, tell us about Real Madrid's locker room."
All the reporters looked forward to it. Maybe not everyone wants to see the drama of palace fighting, but what if there is something big? This is something that no one will refuse, let alone now that Chinese players are involved.
Yi Zhe chuckled: "Real Madrid's locker room? It's the best I've ever seen. It's very harmonious."
The reporters were all disappointed, and some had complicated expressions.
Is this really Yi Zhe? Why did the mighty Wolf Warrior of Wolfsburg turn into a licking dog here?
…
Before the start of the new season, Real Madrid has an important warm-up, the International Champions Cup. This is one of the most important business events in the world in recent years. To put it bluntly, it is a show for major wealthy families to open up the global market. It is a business event for superstars in economically developed regions such as China, Singapore, the United States and Europe.
Originally, the domestic media were waiting for Real Madrid. After all, there is Yi Zhe in the new season. It seems that if Florentino is not bad, he should arrange for the team to visit the country. Even now, old fans still remember Real Madrid’s trip to China in the summer of 2003. What a crowd-pleased event. Nowadays, the new generation of Galaxy battleships combined by Yi Zhe and Ronaldo will definitely not lose to the original Raul and Beckham in terms of popularity.
But in the end everyone miscalculated, and Real Madrid chose to go to the United States to participate in the International Champions Cup. Zidane explained in an interview with Chinese media that he hoped that the team would get the opportunity to have a high-level warm-up match before the new season.
This remark also aroused criticism from some self-media in China who do not understand football. The head coach of Real Madrid made a mockery of Chinese football?
This sensational marketing account was quickly directly attacked by a large number of Real Madrid fans.
"Ha! If Yi Zhe hadn't come out to turn things around, how could anyone else be making fun of the poor level of Chinese football?"
Industry media who really understand football will not have any reaction. After all, today is different from the past. At the beginning, Real Madrid considered exploring the Chinese market. Now they have made a lot of money in China, and with Yi Zhe joining, this is not the case. A living golden sign?
This year, there are four teams in the American division: Real Madrid, Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea. It is also the first time for Yi Zhe to come to the other side of the ocean, and it is the first time that he feels that he is very competitive.
Real Madrid's projection screen appeared on the big screen in Times Square in New York. Yi Zhe and Ronaldo are almost in the same C position, and their avatars are almost the same size.
This was the first time that it subverted Yi Zhe's perception. He had always felt that "a fly in the ointment" was more than just an idiom, so even if the protagonist here was the New York Knicks, such as "Melo" Anthony, he would not be surprised at all.
But there are not only c-positions here, but also a large number of overseas Chinese who gather around the training ground every day with their pasts in hand.
"Yi Zhe!"
"Yi Zhe!"
"Sign your name!"
"Bring glory to the country!"
Yi Zhe deeply feels the advantages of being Chinese. Everywhere he goes is the home court, and the fans around him are no worse than Cristiano Ronaldo next to him.
But he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: How could he bring glory to the country? !
Of course some of the reasons are well known.
…
The first game of the International Champions Cup was against Paris Saint-Germain. This was Yi Zhe's debut of the season.
Zidane's starting lineup for this game is the same as what the media saw in Real Madrid training.
Goalkeeper: Navas
Defenders: Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal
Midfielder: Modric, Toni Kroos, Yi Zhe,
Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo
Before the game started, the camera panned over the box at New York's Yankee Stadium. A familiar figure came into view, and He Wei shouted out in surprise.
"Hey! NBA legend Kobe Bryant is also here today!"
ps: Today’s World Cup predictions:
Argentina beat Saudi Arabia by two goals (score 3:1)
Denmark beats Tunisia
France beats Australia
Yesterday's game in England was so crazy that not many people guessed it correctly, but I still don't think highly of the San Miao Legion this time. They are born without championship genes...
