1606 Do you want Pogba?
"Florentino wants me to come back!"
As soon as Zidane finished speaking, Yang Yang was obviously stunned for a moment, and then noticed Zidane's cramped expression, and knew it in his heart.
This guy deliberately wanted to read his own jokes.
With his understanding of Florentino and his current position in the world football world, Florentino would definitely not do such a thing, otherwise Florentino would not be Florentino.
"As a technical director?" Yang Yang asked casually.
Zidane immediately smiled bitterly. He knew that he could not deceive Yang Yang. He nodded immediately and said, "Yes, but I declined."
Argentine legend Jorge Bardano resigned because of his poor team's performance and resigned from his position as technical director of Real Madrid for many years, so that this position has always been empty. With Yang Yang taking over the position of coach of Real Madrid as a foregone conclusion, Zidane's ideal position to return to Real Madrid is the technical director.
Yang Yang knew the reason why he refused politely, so he nodded silently.
Zidane has a very prominent position in Real Madrid. Needless to say, his career achievements are, he has achieved five consecutive championships in three years as a coach of Real Madrid. This is an amazing legend. It is natural to return to serve as technical director.
But as the saying goes, the emperor is the emperor and the minister.
What is the biggest problem for Real Madrid today?
One of the big problems is the aging lineup. Many people, including David Silva, Modric, Ramos, and even Marcelo and Suarez, are already over thirty years old, which makes Real Madrid, which was originally young and strong, become old, but these players are the capable players who followed Zidane to sweep European football.
In addition to Yang Yang's help, Zidane was able to successfully coach Real Madrid and manage the locker room. In addition to Yang Yang's help, the important reason was his own charm. He had a very good relationship with these players. But if he now serves as the technical director of Real Madrid and turned the gun to lay off these players, how would they view Zidane?
In the future, when Zidane coaches again, how should he win the trust of the players?
Another very important question is Yang Yang.
Zidane knew very well that Yang Yang was an independent person and had his own ideas and ideas. If he served as the technical director of Real Madrid, he had to cooperate with Yang Yang in everything and take Yang Yang's ideas as the criterion, which he was unwilling to accept.
After all, a year ago, Yang Yang was still his assistant.
Therefore, instead of being the technical director of Real Madrid and being in a dilemma, it is better to simply refuse politely and protect yourself.
As a legendary star in the past, Zidane does not lack places to go to, but one of the important reasons why he has no idea is that he is waiting for the right coaching opportunity.
As a successful professional player and head coach, Zidane has always been a shrewd and sensible person. Otherwise, he would not have left Real Madrid after five consecutive championships.
If he didn't go to the school a year ago, then it wouldn't be Lopetegui who was dismissed last year, but Zidane.
...
"I guess, after you take office, you must have vigorously promoted De Bruyne, but you can tell me what you want to introduce Pogba?" Zidane asked with great concern.
Paul Pogba, this is Zidane's favorite player. Since his first season as coach of Real Madrid, no, since Pogba began to emerge, Zidane has been determined to introduce him to the Bernabeu, but he has never succeeded.
Player transfer is a very complicated systematic project. Pogba failed to come to Real Madrid for many reasons.
The most recent time was in 2016. Real Madrid was full of talents in the midfield and could not make any room for Pogba, which allowed Pogba to leave Manchester United. Now, Modric and David Silva are both old and Real Madrid has made a place for the midfield. The 26-year-old Pogba is also in his year of playing, and it can be said that he is mature in all aspects.
But this season, Yang Yang trained Frankie Dejong and Ndongbele in Ajax.
There is a saying in the world of football that it is better to use it to use it to be mature than to use it.
If Yang Yang came to Real Madrid, he would definitely be more willing to choose a player he was familiar with.
Yang Yang can be said to be the one who knows the best Zidane hopes for Pogba. He also knows that it is almost Pogba's best opportunity right now, but he does not think that Manchester United will let go easily. More importantly, he has more choices.
"To be honest, he is not my first choice." Yang Yang said frankly.
"Why?"
"There are many reasons. Manchester United will not let go. In addition, I think Pogba himself is also a problem."
Zidane nodded. Pogba did have some problems with his own affairs at Manchester United.
When professional players encounter this kind of thing, the best way to do this is to better play their own value and then seek transfers, rather than tossing like Pogba. This emotional performance will make all teams interested in him worry.
Zidane knows who Yang Yang is.
Yang Yang didn't like Neymar at the beginning, so naturally he wouldn't appreciate Pogba too much now.
Of course, professional head coaches consider the interests of the whole team more. Yang Yang's first choice should be Frankie DeJong, but if the introduction of this player is unfavorable, he will definitely choose Pogba.
Zidane still clearly remembers that Yang Yang once asserted that in his mind, in the past season, the two strongest attacking midfielders in European football were Pogba and De Bruyne.
But now, the younger adorable Frankie DeJong is definitely more dominant.
"This group of Ajax's players is really good. If you can add to Real Madrid and integrate into the team, you won't need to worry about the next five years, or even the next ten years!" Zidane exclaimed repeatedly.
Yang Yang did a better job than him because he trained a young and talented Ajax.
This is probably why Florentino values him the most.
"Don't worry, I generally know that you will see a brand new Real Madrid!" Yang Yang smiled confidently.
Ajax is a small team after all. Although the lineup is good, his strength is not too strong, and there is little room for Yang Yang to plan.
But Real Madrid is different. Even if the team is sitting on the bench, they are all recognized geniuses like Isco, Sebalos, and Vinicius. The bench lineup is extremely strong. Yang Yang is confident that he will bring this team out.
Zidane also believed in this!

According to the schedule and after the leave ended, Ajax began targeted tactic drills and preparations.
Yang Yang began a tactical meeting every day to specialize in Liverpool's games.
Among them, the most in-depth game that Yang Yang repeatedly analyzed with the players was the 32nd round of the Premier League this season, where Liverpool was at Anfield Stadium and narrowly defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1.
The process of the game itself is nothing to say. Liverpool scored a goal in the first 16 minutes, and Tottenham equalized the score in the 70th minute of the second half. However, in the final stage of the game, goalkeeper Loris made a mistake, causing Aldervelde to score an own goal, which was then lost away.
But this is not the point. What Yang Yang wants to say is the arrangement of the two teams.
Yang Yang repeatedly mentioned this game because he thought it was very inspiring. Liverpool insisted on his 433. In the first hour or so, Liverpool controlled the midfield, but it was not because of how good Liverpool played, but because Tottenham Hotspur itself had problems.
Pochettino's Tottenham Hotspur started with three defenders. Through the three-five-two formation, the purpose was to suppress the midfield and press the defense as far as possible, so as to put more games into Liverpool's half-court, but it was interesting that with more people, the midfielder lost power.
On the contrary, in the second half, Pochettino replaced Davidson Sanchez with Sun Xingmin. After changing from 352 to 4231, Tottenham Hotspur survived and equalized the score in just one minute, and then fought relentlessly against Liverpool.
The problem lies here.
Yang Yang believes that the main reason why Tottenham Hotspur lost is that they lack a right-back.
After Kyle Walker transferred to Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur used Trippier and Olier on the right back, but their defensive awareness was very problematic and it was difficult to suppress their opponents when defending on the wing.
Another point is that Harry Kane's condition is not ideal, and midfielder Ali still failed to find his position on the court well, which made Tottenham Hotspur's midfield and frontcourt unable to suppress Liverpool.
After changing the lineup, the two midfielders protected the defense line, allowing Sane and Salah to cut in the wing, and someone could protect the central defender as soon as possible. This is crucial when playing against Liverpool.
Compared with last season, the biggest difference between Liverpool this season is defense.
The huge amount of money introduced goalkeeper Allison, coupled with the maturity and stability of central defender Van Dijk, made Liverpool's overall stronger.
On the tactical level, Klopp also learned from previous lessons and no longer just adopted a high-pressure and fast-paced style, but incorporated more control and rhythm changes.
As the saying goes, one's mistakes lead to wisdom. Klopp's overall coaching level from Dortmund to Liverpool is obviously moving upward. He is very clear about the outside world's evaluation of him, especially the nickname of the team in the 60th minute. This is somewhat ridiculous, but does it also point out Liverpool's weaknesses and shortcomings?
So, Klopp's tactics at Liverpool this season are actually more conservative than last season.
The Reds are able to reach this day, and the trident in the frontcourt is not as eye-catching as last season. On the contrary, the defense is particularly impressive, which is why Allison and Van Dijk shine.
After understanding the opponent's ideas and understanding what the opponent wants to do, then you must deal with the moves in a targeted manner.
Unlike Tottenham Hotspur, Yang Yang's team is best at 4231 and double midfielder configurations, and the two sides also have strong impacts, especially on the Ashraf side on the right.
