In late July, Real Madrid headed for the United States for training, but this time there were only 20 teams.

All international players participating in the World Cup will decide when they return to the team based on the time of their national team's last game in the World Cup. Yang Yang and the newly joined Tony Cross are the latest. They both participated in the World Cup finals, so Real Madrid allowed them to return to the team to train until August 5th.

Since many core players were absent, the training list for the United States this time was mainly substitutes and young players. The most eye-catching ones were undoubtedly the Spanish goalkeeper Casillas, and the Costa Rica goalkeeper Navas, who participated in the World Cup quarterfinals and returned to the team early, who was a new player.

The reason for the attention of many media is very simple. If Real Madrid signs De Gea, Casillas' situation will become very embarrassing. The possibility of Real Madrid captain leaving the team is very high. If Real Madrid does not sign in the goalkeeper position this summer, Casillas' competitor will be Navas, who shines in the World Cup.

The Costa Rican goalkeeper was not well-known before, and he was not even famous in La Liga and did not attract much attention. However, he joined Real Madrid because of his outstanding performance in the World Cup and became popular.

But everyone is also very clear that this former Levante goalkeeper was not introduced by Real Madrid as the main goalkeeper, but more of a substitute goalkeeper. So the key is to look at Casillas' own condition and whether Real Madrid will introduce a high-level goalkeeper.

The most worth mentioning on the list is Hesse. This Real Madrid young player who suffered a serious injury last season and missed for half a year. Although he missed the World Cup, he returned to the team successfully on the day of the pre-season training camp and participated in all summer training camps. He was in good condition and performed very positively.

Everyone could see that after experiencing a serious injury, Hesse was working hard to recover his form, and the team was full of expectations for Hesse's return and was trying their best to help him recover his form before his injury.

Hesse's return is a good thing for Real Madrid, but it also wiped out Morata's last glimmer of hope. This Real Madrid substitute striker has performed well in the past two or three seasons. He is also very capable and has no shortage of interested teams. Therefore, after seeing Hesse return from injury, he finally made up his mind.

The moment before the team headed to the United States, Morata successfully removed himself from the roster. Two days later, he transferred to Serie A giant Juventus for a high price of 20 million euros, but in this contract, Real Madrid has Morata's buyback rights within two years.

To a certain extent, this is a kind of optimism about Morata by Real Madrid. If he can perform well at Juventus, it is still very likely that he will return to Real Madrid within two years.

Losing Morata, Yang Yang, Suarez, Di Maria and Hazard have not returned to the team. There is only one of the training teams that Real Madrid went to the United States who has just missed for half a year and recovered from serious injury, which makes Real Madrid play in the warm-up match in the United States very unsatisfactory.

First, he lost to Inter Milan three-to-four, then to Roma in Serie A zero-to-one, and finally to Manchester United in Premier League one-to-three. He lost eight goals in three warm-up matches. Such results and performance are indeed unsatisfactory, especially goalkeeper Casillas's condition is still unreliable.

With three games and three losses, Real Madrid's US training performance was disappointing, especially the team's defense line, which was even more embarrassing.

Ancelotti and Zidane both expressed their opinions, believing that the important reason why the team performed poorly is that many main players have just returned to the team, and some have not even returned to the team.

"We have absolutely reason to believe that with the arrival of the new season, the team will perform better and better, because our overall strength this season will be stronger and better than ever before."

It is obvious that with the joining of Tony Cross and Jamele Rodriguez, Real Madrid's midfield strength has been significantly improved, which has also made Real Madrid full of confidence.

But just when the team returned to Europe from the United States, Bayern Munich officially announced that it would introduce Spanish midfielder Xavi Alonso from Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 10 million euros. According to German media, this is an important transfer chosen by Bayern coach Guardiola, and the purpose is to fill the regrets brought by Tony Cross's departure.

Guardiola has always been trying to keep Tony Cross, hoping to facilitate the renewal of Bayern management with Tony Cross, but unfortunately, Tony Cross eventually transferred to Real Madrid, and Guardiola chose to introduce Xavi Alonso from Real Madrid to fill the gap left by Tony Cross.

Both teams traded to fans, especially Bayern, who used the younger Tony Cross to exchange veteran Xavi Alonso for the transfer fee of 20 million euros?

After Real Madrid sold Xavi Alonso, they soon announced that they had introduced Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg, Bundesliga for a high price of 35 million euros. The deal was recognized by Real Madrid's coaching staff and technical team, but according to Ass, Yang Yang was the first to recommend De Bruyne to Real Madrid's technical team.

"According to internal news obtained by the reporter, Yang Yang saw the Wolfsburg game in the Champions League in order to understand his opponents Dortmund and Bayern Munich, and was attracted by De Bruyne's playing style, especially his running position and passing. Then Yang Yang told Zidane his gains."

"In fact, long before the decision to introduce Tony Cross, Real Madrid had a discussion. Verati recommended by Ancelotti, Pogba recommended by Zidane, De Bruyne recommended by Yang Yang, and Tony Cross of Bayern Munich were the focus of the discussion, but Pogba, who was the most difficult to introduce, was rejected first."

"In the end, with the German team winning the World Cup championship, Tony Kroos became the best candidate for Real Madrid, but with the departure of Xavi Alonso, introducing a powerful midfielder was put on the agenda again. In the choice between Verati and De Bruyne, Zidane convinced Ancelotti and finally chose De Bruyne."

"Everyone believes that the Belgian midfielder, who is only 22 years old, will be the most anticipated rookies for Real Madrid in the next few years, De Bruyne, Isco, Hazard, James Rodriguez, Hesse, Ilia Lamendi..."

"There is no doubt that Real Madrid will have the top young lineup in European football, which will also provide Real Madrid with strong strength in the next few years. More importantly, Real Madrid, which insists on multi-line combat, does not lack high-level game training opportunities, which undoubtedly brings convenience to the training of young players."

Finally, Ass newspaper believes that Yang Yang rarely intervenes in the club's transfer, but every participation shows a very high vision and level. For example, leaving Robben and Sneijder behind that year, and firmly demanding to stay Di Maria last season, all these prove Yang Yang's vision. Now, De Bruyne joins Real Madrid, which is undoubtedly very exciting.

...

After signing De Bruyne, including Navas, Tony Cross and James Rodriguez, Real Madrid's investment in the transfer market this year exceeded 150 million euros. Although selling Herrera, Morata, Xavi Alonso and Robben have a considerable income, the investment is also quite large.

But there was no movement in the goalkeeper position, which made Real Madrid fans very worried, especially after experiencing the three disaster-prone three-game losing streak in the United States, which made Real Madrid fans a little unable to sit still.

In the end, Real Madrid officials had to take action immediately.

On the third day after Real Madrid returned to Spain from North America, Real Madrid officially announced that it had introduced Courtois, a Belgian national goalkeeper who was loaned to Atletico Madrid, from Chelsea for a high price of 35 million euros.

This young goalkeeper who had been in the midst of Barcelona throughout the summer ended up joining Real Madrid, which surprised Real Madrid fans, and at the same time, he was not very comfortable because he was the goalkeeper who was brought in from his arch-rival in the same city.

But the saddest one is the Barcelona fans.

First it was Tony Cross, then James Rodriguez, and now Courtois is again. Why are the players Barcelona targeted are intercepted by Real Madrid one after another?

If Tony Cross and James Rodriguez are understandable, then what's wrong with Courtois? Didn't Real Madrid keep staring at De Gea?

Why did you suddenly change your target?

Catalan media are all dissatisfied with this, but they are more likely to be at the operation of Barcelona's management, believing that the team's transfer signings this summer are definitely a failure, because the team's plan to transform the defense is frustrated, David Luis transfers to Paris Saint-Germain, and now Courtois transfers to Real Madrid, goalkeeper's signings are frustrated again.

Barcelona chairman Bartomeu had to shout out that he would forcefully poach Thiago Silva and Verati, hoping to use this to calm the anger of fans, but Paris Saint-Germain quickly gave a counterattack, saying that if Barcelona dared to poach Paris Saint-Germain players, they would forcefully poach Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar.

With the wealthy Qatar consortium backed by Paris Saint-Germain, Paris Saint-Germain issued such a threat. Even Barcelona had to admit defeat, which once again disrupted Barcelona's plan to transform its defense line.

After the drawdown in the introduction of Courtois, Barcelona immediately transferred their target and introduced German goalkeeper Ter Stegen from Borussia Mönchengladbach with a transfer fee of 12 million euros.

The arrival of the Lion King basically ruled out Valdes and substitute goalkeeper Pinto's departure.

Coincidentally, after Real Madrid introduced Courtois, Casillas quickly proposed a transfer, and transferred from Real Madrid to Porto in a free transfer.

This is also the announcement that the Real Madrid era, which belongs to Casillas, has completely ended!

But at the same time, outside media are also discussing who will replace Casillas as the new captain of Real Madrid after he leaves the team?

It was at this sensitive moment that Yang Yang returned to Valdebebas.
