Real Madrid started training camp just after Christmas.

As soon as the winter break training camp was launched, Antonio Pintus directly started the tyrannical mode.

Suddenly, the air in Valdebebas was filled with a strong aura of despair.

But at the same time, Yang Yang also promised in front of all the players on the first day of the training camp that the team would not sign and transfer during the winter break. He hoped that all the players in the team would stay and compete in the second half together.

Perhaps after the season is over, many players will leave and the team will inevitably reorganize, but at least in the next few months, they will continue to fight side by side, and none of them will be missing.

On the evening of January 3, in the 19th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Getafe away.

Yang Yang surprised everyone again, and the classic three midfielders of Tony Cross, Casemiro and Modric were arranged, while the frontcourt was a combination of Asensio, Suarez and Mbappe.

This lineup surprised many people, but it also conforms to the major rotation policy that Yang Yang has insisted on in recent times.

What is even more surprising is that while the entire midfield and frontcourt was performing sluggishly, central defender Varane shones and scored twice. Modric also scored a goal in the final stage of the game, helping Real Madrid defeat Getafe three-to-zero away and successfully scored another three-pointer.

With Barcelona drew two-to-second away game against Espanyol, Real Madrid further expanded its lead.

Judging from the score, this is a very perfect result, but not necessarily from the process.

The ball possession rate is as high as 62%, but the number of shots in the whole game is only ten, even five less than Getafe.

It is not difficult to see that Real Madrid's overall weakness.

In addition to the team's volume and physical reserve after training, it is more important that several veterans in the team have declined significantly, especially in the midfield, which cannot stop the opponent's attack and cannot create opportunities for the players in the frontcourt.

To a certain extent, this game further strengthened Yang Yang and the management's view of the team.

Reorganization is imperative!

After playing in La Liga, Real Madrid won two weeks of preparation time without having to participate in the Cup of del Rey.

During this period, the draw results for the Champions League quarterfinals knockout round also came out.

Real Madrid encountered its old rival, Bumblebee Dortmund.

This Bundesliga team encountered Barcelona in the Champions League group stage, failed to win the opponent and finally ranked second.

Now meeting Real Madrid in the quarterfinals is not necessarily a good thing for Dortmund.

Everyone can see that Real Madrid's momentum has formed now, the team trained by Yang Yang is very stable, and the locker room is also very united. In this case, any other team must show strong enough strength to defeat Real Madrid.

But, in recent years, Dortmund's strength has declined significantly, and it has long since not as high as Klopp's coaching peak.

In addition to the Champions League, the draw for the third round of the King's Cup REE has also been released.

Real Madrid faced Salamanca in Group B of the Spanish Second Division.

This team is not strong, and Real Madrid has an overwhelming advantage, but it is a away game and a single knockout match.

Yang Yang said in an interview with the media in Valdebebas that this is the first time that the King's Cup has adopted this single-game knockout system, and Real Madrid needs to be more cautious and cautious to avoid unpopularity.

"We all know that in England, the FA Cup in a single knockout match is regarded as a hotbed for unpopularity because many strong teams have suffered from opponents who are far inferior to their own strength in a single knockout match. There are often teams in low-level leagues that have entered the FA Cup semi-finals or even the finals."

"We must maintain 100% caution and focus on this!"

Yang Yang is reminding Real Madrid players that when the Lion fights with rabbits, they must do their best and not give their opponents any opportunity to take advantage of.

After two weeks of separation, La Liga rekindled the war.

In the 20th round, Real Madrid welcomed Sevilla at home.

The two sides exchanged white papers in the first half, but in the 57th minute of the second half, Jovic made a wonderful pass from the heel, and Casemiro scored a single goal in the upper right corner of the small penalty area, opening the first record for Real Madrid.

After that, Sevilla equalized the score, but Munier made a handball foul before scoring the goal, and the referee used the video referee as the basis, and the penalty goal was invalid.

Just four minutes later, a cross from Basquez made a right cross, and Casemiro headed the ball from the front of the penalty area, leaving another goal for Real Madrid.

Brazil's midfielder scored twice, showing remarkable performance.

The last round was Varane, and this round was Casemiro.

At the beginning of the new year, Real Madrid relied on the outbreak of midfielders in both games, which has to be said to be a big abnormality.

Yang Yang thought it was normal for this.

"The players in the frontcourt are slowly accumulating energy!" he said jokingly.

…………

Three days later, in the third round of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid challenged Salamanca away.

Yang Yang played with a full substitute, and even the goalkeeper arranged Areola.

Although the game was thrilling, Real Madrid finally defeated Salamanca 3-1 away with Vinicius's goal and young player Braim Dias's double score, successfully advancing to the fourth round.

After the draw, Real Madrid's fourth round opponent was Zaragoza, who still played away.

The game time is one week later.

…………

On the weekend, in the 21st round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Valladolid away.

Yang Yang's Real Madrid is still in the adjustment stage after high-intensity physical reserve training, and the overall condition is still not ideal.

This is also a period of pain.

In the past few seasons, especially the peak seasons of Real Madrid's performance, January and February each year have been the trough periods of Real Madrid's state, and the overall condition of the team will have a very obvious upward process.

And in this sluggish period, the player's personal performance becomes crucial.

From Varane and Casemiro both scored twice to this game, Nippon Oil player Nacho took advantage of the corner kick opportunity to score a close-range header, scoring a final goal for Real Madrid, which made everyone exclaim Yang Yang's fate.

But at the post-match press conference, Yang Yang refused to admit that he was a tough one.

"Our possession rate is as high as 68%, twice that of our opponents, and our shots are three times that of our opponents. The opponents failed to shoot even once in the game..."

Yang Yang said this and showed his strong self-confidence.

"What I want to say is that we did not encounter any risks in this game, and it is only a matter of time before the goal is completed."

Yang Yang then commented on Nacho, believing his goal was crucial.

“He is a player he’s reliable when the team needs him, and I’ve always believed in that.”

…………

Three days later, in the fourth round of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid challenged Zaragoza away.

Yang Yang once again used his rotational ultimate move.

Varane scored a goal for Real Madrid in the sixth minute, followed by Vasquez, Vinicius and Suarez.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Zaragoza four-0 away and successfully advanced to the fifth round, which is the quarterfinals of the King's Cup.

This time, Real Madrid's opponent became Real Sociedad.

It's still a week later.

…………

…………

At noon on February 1, the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.

In the 22nd round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Atletico Madrid at home.

The game itself is relatively dull, Real Madrid is in poor form, and Atletico Madrid is fighting away, and it is difficult to create effective opportunities under the pressure and defense of the opponent.

Even in the first half, Atletico Madrid did not even have a chance to shoot Real Madrid's goal.

This is also a feature of Yang Yang's coaching.

From Ajax to Real Madrid, he can always limit his opponent's offense and make it difficult for his opponent to threaten his goal, which also made Courtois perform very well this season.

The real highlight of the game was the battle between Yang Yang and Diego Simeone, and the biggest flash was the courage of Yang Yang in one breath during the halftime break.

Vinicius replaced Hazard, Mbappe replaced Casemiro, and Real Madrid began to strengthen their frontcourt offensive with all their might.

In the 56th minute of the second half, Ferran Mendy made a cross from the left, and Suarez scored a goal in front of the goal, scoring the winning goal for Real Madrid.

He changed two people in one breath and changed into four, three, three, and the effect was immediate and he immediately kicked the ball on the side.

Yang Yang's substitution showed amazing results, so much so that Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simone said at a post-match press conference that it was a desperate game.
