1031 The most special one
Since Belgium failed to score in the European Cup, Eden Hazard was very idle all June and had been traveling between Belgium and Spain, mainly looking for real estate in Madrid.
In the next few years, he will live and play football in Madrid, and finding a house is the top priority.
Real Madrid specially arranged a staff member to accompany him to find housing resources, but mainly concentrated in two wealthy areas, Rafenca and La Morareja, which is the most expensive housing prices in Madrid and even Spain, but also the best security and supporting facilities.
In the rich area of Madrid, where every inch of land is valuable, housing prices are ridiculously high. Hazard could have chosen to rent a house, but he prefers to be more secure, so he chose to buy it. In the end, he took a fancy to a single-family villa in Lamorareja.
One of the important reasons that prompted him to choose Ramolareja was that he passed a luxury house while he was looking for a property.
No. 11, core area of Lamorareja.
Although I didn't go in, the quaint door showed an extraordinary style. I couldn't see the house and the scenery inside, but I could guess it only through the door. The real estate agency also said that this is the top luxury house in Lamorareja, and it was nowhere to be seen.
"The owner of this luxury house is Yang Yang!"
Yang Yang, this is a name that cannot be avoided in Real Madrid anyway.
The Real Madrid staff gave the advice to buy a house in Lamorareja, not only because of the good security and supporting facilities here, but also because it is not only close to Valdebebas, but more importantly, Yang Yang lives here, and many Real Madrid stars live here.
This is a kind of guidance without compulsion, but subtle.
Originally, Lamorareja was not popular with Real Madrid players. Although Figo and Beckham moved here one after another, more foreign Real Madrid players still chose Rafenca because it is more modern, with more advanced facilities and more suitable for young players.
But since 2009, after Yang Yang moved into Ramolareja, Real Madrid players including Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Macon, Mascherano, Fermuren and others joined the same period, settled in Ramolareja one after another. Later, even Real Madrid players who originally lived elsewhere, who have now moved into Ramolareja.
Nowadays, Ramolareja has almost become the most passionate place for Real Madrid players to live. Not only Yang Yang, Casillas, Ramos and others all live here, David Silva, Di Maria, Modric, Xavi Martinez, Varane and other subsequent players also live in this community.
Azpilicueta, who joined this summer, also chose to live in Lamorareja.
Hazard finally chose Ramolareja, not because he liked it especially, but because he hoped to send a signal through this move that he was actively integrating into the Real Madrid family.
If you buy a house, you will need to be renovated and repaired. During this period, Hazard will temporarily live in the Hilton Hotel near the airport. Real Madrid staff will pick him up and down every day.
On the morning of July 16th, Hazard prepared early, got into the reception car and headed to Valdebebas.
...
Although I have been to Valdebebas several times before, the feeling this time is obviously different.
The training camp for the new season has begun. This is the first day Hazard has joined Real Madrid and the first training class.
He was familiar with Zidane before and was on the phone with Ancelotti, but he didn't know if the Italians would be very strict with him?
He didn't know whether his teammates in Real Madrid's locker room were easy to get along with?
Will they not be very friendly just because they are newcomers?
I heard that Robben would be left in the team, and the Dutch was originally going to be sent to the transfer market. It is said that Bayern Munich was very interested in him, but Yang Yang convinced Florentino to allow Robben to stay in the team. This led to Hazard in Real Madrid now, Robben and Di Maria, three players in the other two positions to compete for the trident.
Among the youth team players, Vasquez was loaned out. He performed well last season and was favored by many La Liga teams, but the talented player Hesse was promoted to the first team, which is Real Madrid's youth training department.
More importantly, Yang Yang, who supports Robben to stay in the team, what is his attitude towards joining?
Although he supported himself on Twitter, it was a virtual network. Will he still have this attitude in reality?
However, Hazard was not too worried, because according to the news he received from Real Madrid staff, Yang Yang would not return to the team until the end of July. It is said that he would go on a honeymoon with his wife and children. I believe he would be familiar with everything about Real Madrid by then.
Zidane promised to help.
Hazard felt much more relaxed when he thought of this.
But just as Audi turned into the gate of the first team training area of the Valdebebas training base and entered the parking lot, the driver sitting in the driving position let out a surprised "Huh".
"What's wrong?" Hazard was surprised.
Looking along the driver's sight, you can see that the parking lot of Real Madrid's first-team team is full of Audi. The front signs in the entire row are all four circles, but only the front of the car is more domineering, and the sign is not Audi, but Porsche.
"This is..." Hazard was puzzled. Audi is a car sponsor of Real Madrid. All Real Madrid players and coaches must drive Audi when entering Real Madrid. This is what Real Madrid mentioned before when signing a contract with him. If it violates it, the club will be fined internally, and the worst will cause Audi protests.
But how could a Porsche be parked in the Real Madrid player's special parking space?
"He actually returned to the team early again." The driver smiled.
"He?" Hazard asked, but was full of doubts about who was the person who "returned to the team early and was driving a Porsche into the players' parking lot?
"Yang." The driver smiled back, "This is his car. Only he can drive Porsche into Valdebebas because his sponsor is Porsche. I heard that he received more sponsorship fees from Porsche in a year than Real Madrid got from Audi. So when Real Madrid signed a contract with him, he could not negotiate his car sponsorship contract."
Hazard was a little stunned when he heard it. He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a news, but he was still young at that time and didn't pay attention to it, but now looking back, it's really outrageous.
A player's commercial value actually exceeds that of Real Madrid's entire team. What is this concept?
"Does he often return to the team early?" Hazard asked again.
"Well, it has been early every year for three years. Originally, he got married this year, we thought he would come back later, but we didn't expect it to be early." The driver shook his head helplessly and smiled, as if he had no choice but to deal with Yang Yang, but he was also a little pity, but he was still proud of the professional ethics of the number one star in Real Madrid.
Hazard once again felt Yang Yang's weight in Real Madrid's club, especially in the minds of the staff.
Of course, the Belgians don’t know that Yang Yang’s status is not only earned by his performance on the court, but also that he gives gifts to the club’s owners during the Chinese New Year and holidays, and invites everyone to dinner from time to time.
Who doesn’t like such a person and the most influential number one star in the team?
What Hazard is more worried about now is Yang Yang. What kind of person is he?
...
After getting off the car, Hazard carried his luggage and walked towards the first team's training building with trepidation and longing.
He was both looking forward to seeing Yang Yang, but he was also a little worried.
As soon as he passed the corner, he vaguely heard the movement coming from the gate.
"Hey, Alvaro, you lean over a little more, yes, yes, and you, Hesse, come over, Daniel, can you stop laughing so stiffly, be more natural, yes, okay."
Listening to the sound along the way, Hazard saw outside the gate of the training building, several young players from Real Madrid youth teams were surrounded by a man in casual clothes, and the speaker was facing his back, holding his cell phone to take pictures of the people opposite him, adjusting their positions.
Is this Yang Yang?
Hazard looked at the man in casual clothes, and he stopped and looked over carefully.
But soon, he realized that he was wrong. It was not Yang Yang, but Raul.
Real Madrid's former captain and flag, the eternal number seven, Raul.
That Yang Yang...
Hazard immediately looked at the person who was taking pictures with his cell phone. After seeing him taking a few pictures in a row, he put down his cell phone and showed his true face. He also laughed and teased, "Nacho, you are like Morata, you are really not on camera."
"Oh, please, am I much more handsome than you?"
"Hey, Yang, it must be that you deliberately made me ugly."
The two youth training young players both looked casual and were not polite to Yang Yang. It felt like they were friends making fun of each other.
Yang Yang didn't mind either. He walked over with his cell phone, shook his head and said, "Hesse, what have you been doing this holiday? I said I wanted to gain muscle before, why do I still look like this?"
"Yang, I've always been like this, and you know, I'm a technical player, and being too strong will affect my flexibility."
"Get out, why haven't I been affected by my muscles?" Yang Yang retorted, "No, I will definitely tell the boss when I look back and let them make a muscle strengthening training plan for you. You will practice with me every day after that."
"Oh my God, you're killing me." Hesse complained.
Raul clamped Hesse's neck hard and pressed him down tightly, "Don't be wronged, Yang is for your own good, and I don't think about it. Can your small body withstand the collision of the defender in La Liga? It's not appropriate to build muscle. Once you have too many injuries in the past few years, you don't want to stay in the first team."
"Okay, I know, I know, Raul, don't try so hard. I know that Yang is for my own good. Can't I agree?" Hesse immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
Raul then let go of his hand, patted Hesse on the back vigorously, and pushed him in front of Yang Yang.
"Yang, I'm not here. This kid will leave it to you for supervision in the future. Don't be polite."
Everyone was amused.
Hesse and Morata are both the best players in Real Madrid's youth training camp. Among them, Hesse has the highest talent and is most favored by the public. Not only are celebrities such as Raul and Guti, but also Yang Yang, Zidane and Ancelotti are very optimistic about Hesse.
But this kid is like all professional players and is very afraid of the gym.
It was at this moment that Yang Yang noticed Hazard at the corner, and his eyes lit up and he laughed.
