1030 Spiritual Leaders
As July begins, the transfer market is in full swing, and the schedule of the La Liga is also newly released.
The first opening match of the new season is the newly promoted Vigo Celta vs. Malaga.
Vigo Celta can also be regarded as a traditional La Liga team. During the transition period of the century, it even stood at a position similar to those of teams such as Valencia and Sevilla. It was vaguely the first army after the double champions of the Spanish Super League. After Florentino took over Real Madrid, it was Marklele, who was introduced from Vigo Celta.
In the 20304 season, Vigo Celta even reached the top 16 of the Champions League, but lost to Arsenal. She had a brilliant record in the European game, but was relegated in La Liga. Although she was immediately promoted after one season, she only stayed in La Liga for two seasons and was relegated again.
Five years later, Vigo Celta rushed back to the La Liga and participated in the La Liga opening match with Malaga, a tycoon known as La Liga Manchester City. This is also a big highlight for veteran La Liga fans.
...
Real Madrid's schedule at the beginning of the season is under great pressure.
The first round of the league is on August 18, facing his old enemy Valencia. This will be a very difficult game. Although Real Madrid plays at home, they must also fully consider the difficulties of the first league game.
However, judging from the club's historical results, the draw between Real Madrid and Valencia is very good. The two sides have met nine times in the first round of the league in total, including Real Madrid winning the championship in seven seasons, and Valencia winning the championship in the remaining two seasons. There is always a team that can win the championship successfully that season.
From 2000 to 2001, the two sides met in the first round, and Mendeta scored a penalty to help Valencia lead, but Raul and Figo scored goals to help Real Madrid reverse, and Real Madrid won the championship this season. A year later, the two sides met again in the first round of the league. Benitez led Valencia to defeat Real Madrid and then won the La Liga championship this season.
Interestingly, the 2000-2001 season was the first match after Florentino took over the chairmanship of Real Madrid, and the 2001-2002 season was the first match when Benitez coached Valencia, and it was also the first match after Zidane joined Real Madrid.
It can be said that both sides are satisfied with the draw in the first round of the league, especially Real Madrid, but they cannot be careless.
Real Madrid has a lot of pressure to start this season. Two Spanish Super Cups against Barcelona, which will be a tough battle, while the European Super Cup is played against Atletico Madrid. Last season, Simeone successfully led the Bedding Army to win the Europa League after putting out the fire in the middle of last season.
The hard battles in the new season are also a big challenge for Real Madrid, which has just been reorganized.
In addition to the first round, the century derby with Barcelona was also greatly advanced.
The first century derby was arranged in the seventh round, and the second was arranged in the twenty-sixth round. This is different from the past when it was arranged in the end of November and April. The match between Barcelona and Real Madrid was greatly advanced and had a relatively smaller impact on the Champions League.
For example, there will be no more games in a row like what Real Madrid encountered last season, playing several centuries of derby in one go.
Although Real Madrid's new season's pressure is very high, the coaching staff did not pass the pressure on the players. Instead, the opening time of the summer training camp was a week later than before, and the summer training camp did not start until July 16th.
This is mainly considered that there are many international players in Real Madrid, especially those participating in the European Cup. They started participating in the national team training camp at the end of May and did not finish the European Cup until early July. The game pressure is huge, but there is little rest time.
After the training camp, Real Madrid will play two warm-up matches in Europe, then fly to the United States for summer training and four warm-up matches. They will not return to Europe until mid-August. The opponents in the United States include strong teams like AC Milan.
In recent years, Real Madrid has traveled to the United States to participate in summer training matches, mainly considering commercial interests.
In the recent Forbes Wealth List, Real Madrid far surpassed other clubs with a market value of $3 billion, becoming the most valuable club in the world. Manchester United, ranked second, has only $223 billion. Beyond the bottom is the American baseball club New York Yankees and rugby club Dallas Cowboys, both $185 billion.
The soaring commercial value and a sharp increase in fiscal revenue all prove that Real Madrid is the richest family in the world today. However, in the transfer market this summer, Real Madrid's sales revenue reached 120 million, but they only spent 47 million euros to buy people, making 73 million euros, which is another amazing huge sum.
In response to this, Real Madrid's official plan was early, saying that the team will start the stadium renovation this year.
According to the renovation plan provided by Real Madrid, the corner passage of the Bernabeu Stadium will be removed, and the original commercial corner will also be renovated. Real Madrid will build a luxury hotel and shopping center inside the stadium, which will bring endless fiscal revenue to Real Madrid in the future.
In order to transform the new stadium, Real Madrid proposed to exchange part of the land with the Madrid municipal government and renovate the Castia Street opposite the Bernabeu Stadium. This plan has been recognized by the Madrid High Court of Justice, and several banks have also promised to provide Real Madrid with long-term low-interest loans.
In recent years, the European economy has been depressed, and the European debt crisis has broken out. Spain's domestic economy is also the first to bear the brunt. Most banks have begun to tighten their money and dare not lend easily. This has led to membership clubs like Real Madrid becoming banks' favorite high-quality customers. In addition, Real Madrid's net income in the transfer market this summer is more than 70 million and its cash flow is abundant, so they are naturally happy to provide long-term low-interest loans to support Real Madrid in renovating a new stadium.
With the permission of the government and the support of the bank's loan, Florentino naturally received recognition from Real Madrid members at the membership meeting. After all, taking advantage of the team's three consecutive championships and a significant increase in fiscal revenue, it was a European economy that was depressed. Banks were willing to borrow low-interest loans, which was a god-given opportunity to transform the Bernabeu Stadium.
The stadium renovation project is expected to start at the end of 2012 and last for four years until the end of 2016. The use of the Bernabeu stadium will not be affected during the entire construction period.
Since the new stadium was to be renovated, Real Madrid had already started to build a brand new headquarters building at the Valdebebas training base before the end of last season. The Spanish construction company RLH won the bid. Relying on the terrain of Valdebebas, a two-clip-floor office building was built.
Once the office building is opened, Real Madrid will transfer all the offices and administrators of the Bernabeu Stadium to Valdebebas, and then renovate the interior of the Bernabeu Stadium, which is worth every inch of land, for commercial operations such as luxury hotels and shopping centers.
Because of this, when Real Madrid players returned to Madrid one after another in the new season and came to Valdebebas to report, everyone found that the area near the main road to the north of the training base was under construction.
In just over a month, the basement has been built, and the tall tower crane can be seen from a distance.

Yang Yang returned to Madrid from Greece the day before the summer training camp started.
Over the past period of time, he took his wife and children from Australia to Greece. He originally planned to go to Nordic Europe, but Yang Yang was concerned about the new season and finally returned to Madrid early.
During this period, he was immersed in the gentle country, and his body and mind were sufficiently rested, and even gained some weight. Yang Yang was also very helpless about this, which just confirmed the saying that a broad mind makes him fat.
When he arrived at Valdebebas, Yang Yang drove around the construction site and then entered the first team's training area through the gate.
I parked in the parking lot, and as soon as I got off, I saw someone next to me looking at him with a smile. When I looked up, it was Raul.
"Hey, Raul, why are you here?" Yang Yang was very surprised.
Raul walked forward with a smile, hugged Yang Yang, congratulated him on his newlyweds, and Yang Yang also thanked him.
When he got married, he originally considered to invite Raul, Ronaldo and others, but because he really had no close relationships, and they are not Real Madrid players now, Yang Yang doesn't want to disturb them.
If he was still an ordinary player of the past, Yang Yang would definitely invite him because Ronaldo was his idol, but now Yang Yang no longer needs him. Moreover, if Ronaldo and Raul were others, the scope of the banquet would be too large.
"How is it?" Yang Yang asked with concern.
"I heard that you are starting camp today, and I happen to be in Madrid, so I came to take a look." Raul said with a smile, looking like he was in a good mood.
After playing Schalke Zero 4 in the Bundesliga, Raul transferred to Alsade in Qatar this summer. The main reason is that he has a high salary and is relatively relaxed, and he is the best place to retire.
Many fans outside are still holding on to Raul, but they don’t know that he is actually living a good life. On the contrary, if he insists on staying in Real Madrid, he may have to live on the bench. He will not be able to play in the game, nor will he get such a high salary. It can be said that he loses both fame and fortune.
After the two met, they walked towards the training building of the first team with polite greetings.
"I heard that you won't return to the team until the end of July, why did you come so early?" Raul asked strangely.
Yang Yang shrugged helplessly, "I'm tired of playing outside, so I want to come back quickly. And if there are new teammates joining, I will definitely come and have a look."
Yang Yang spoke casually, but Raul listened carefully.
Eden Hazard spent 40 million euros on Real Madrid. This money is not high or low in the transfer market this summer, but the influence is not that great.
According to convention, Real Madrid will definitely hold a press conference and home debut for him. The current popularity of the Belgians will definitely not attract many fans. With Casillas and Ramos, the two captains, going out for vacation because of their participation in the European Cup final, Yang Yang's choice to return early is undoubtedly to give Hazard the greatest support.
From this point of view, Raul can also clearly see Yang Yang's maturity.
For example, he was the first to send a welcome to Hazard on Twitter, and now he returns to the team in advance to participate in Hazard's franchise ceremony. These are enough to prove that Yang Yang is already the spiritual leader in Real Madrid's locker room.
And he did a good job.
