856 Learning to be a leader

"You have a very serious problem. Do you know what it is?"

Zidane's words attracted Yang Yang's attention.

"The problem? What's the problem?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

Zidane smiled and comforted him, telling him not to be nervous, "I think you think a lot, but you say little, and you stick less."

"What does it mean?" Yang Yang didn't understand.

"You are the best and most diligent in thinking and analyzing among the players I have ever met. This is a very good habit, because since the development of professional football has tested players more than just their skills and strength, but also their thinking and analysis skills. To a certain extent, thinking and analysis skills are more important than anything else."

Yang Yang understood, so there is a saying that when professional players compete to the end, they compete to the ball merchants.

"You are good at thinking and analyzing, and summarizing lessons, but you rarely express your ideas. Even if you express them occasionally, you rarely stick to your ideas. Even if you think you may be right, you are still used to obeying the head coach's arrangements or accommodate your teammates around you."

"I can't say whether this is a good habit, because you are really popular in the team. From Ajax to Liverpool to Real Madrid, you will always be one of the most popular players in the team. Even players with a personality like Ibrahimovic can get along well with you and have a close relationship."

"But have you ever thought about another question?"

Yang Yang was a little unbearable by Zidane's words because he knew that Zidane was speaking to the point, and he could be said to have directly expressed his personality and characteristics. Sometimes he was too kind or too smooth, and he was just mixing with him.

This may have something to do with the education Yang Yang received since he was a child. He is accustomed to being kind to others and is not good at challenging authority, so he often does not resist the head coach's decision.

In fact, from Ajax to Liverpool to Inter Milan, Yang Yang has only experienced two head coaches. Ronald Koeman and Benitez have gotten along very well with him, without any problems.

This can also be seen to some extent that Yang Yang is a relatively "obedient" player.

"If you were still a rookie of Ajax back then, or if you just wanted to play a role like Robben, I don't think there is any problem with your personality and behavior, which can help you better integrate into the team and find your own position, but you are obviously not just that now."

"Now, everyone in Real Madrid has placed their hopes on you. The best teams in the world, the top giants, and the biggest fans have put their hopes on you."

"Inside the team, the teammates around you are watching you, the club staff are watching you, and even the personal coach just now is watching you carefully, and the coaching staff is also paying attention to you, and everyone wants to know what you are thinking and what you want."

Speaking of this, Zidane finally said the point he wanted to say.

"You are a leader, and you should not let everyone around you guess what you think. On the contrary, you should directly tell them what you want and what you think is right, and what you hope they can help you. Even if some words may not be acceptable to some people, at least everyone will not have unnecessary guesses."

Yang Yang understood Zidane's meaning.

As a professional player, he always believes that it is necessary to do his part well, and he should respect others and should not interfere or influence others too much.

But Zidane is right. As the leader of the team and the core of the team, he should not be limited to just being himself, but should help or urge his teammates around him, or even point out their problems directly.

Because he is no longer responsible for himself, but also for the team.

…………

…………

Zidane's words touched Yang Yang a lot.

Even that night, after returning home, Yang Yang was still thinking about this issue.

As a bystander, Su Ye also supported Zidane's view on this matter, believing that Yang Yang should indeed be aware of this factors, lead the team more proactively, and gave many effective suggestions.

It can be seen that during the period after becoming famous, Su Ye became more beautiful and refined than before as he grew older. At the same time, with his experience, he matured a lot, and he was no longer the young girl in the school back then.

This is something Yang Yang ignored before.

And he also feels that he should indeed learn to be a qualified team leader.

...

While Real Madrid was actively preparing for the Champions League final, Spanish football also gave birth to its first major signing this summer.

After Barcelona missed two heavyweight trophys, La Liga and Champions League champions, the club management was under heavy pressure and announced early after the season that they had introduced David Villa from Valencia at a high price of 40 million euros.

Although this Spanish striker is 28 years old, he is in his partner year. In the past two seasons, the number of goals scored by La Liga has been stable at more than 20 goals. He scored 21 goals last season and his scoring efficiency is very stable.

According to the current situation, after Villa joins, he will replace Henry's position in Barcelona.

This best striker in Spain does not have any conflict with Barcelona's football. He has a very tacit understanding of the cooperation with Barcelona internationals in the Spanish national team, so there is no problem of integration.

The contract lasts for four years and the liquidated damages are as high as 200 million euros, which represents Barcelona's confidence in Villa.

After selling David Villa, another Valencia's Gemini star, David Silva, was also targeted by many European giants. Many Premier League teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City are determined to win him. There are even rumors that Ferguson has listed Sneider and David Silva as the team's most important signing this summer, and they must win one of the two.

After finalizing David Villa's transfer, the internal contradictions within Barcelona were also revealed.

Yang Yang's younger brother Yaya Toure during his time in Ajax was dissatisfied with his position in Barcelona. He hoped that Guardiola could clarify his position in the team and promised to give him more opportunities to play, otherwise he would consider leaving the team.

But time has changed, and as Busquets' position gradually stabilizes, both the club management and the fans have forgotten the role of Yaya Toure.

At least, it is impossible for Barcelona to sacrifice Busquets, the youth training division for Yaya Toure.

As for whether the Ivorians will really leave the team in the end, it is unknown.

It is worth noting that news came from the English media that Manchester City's number one star Robinho was unhappy in the UK.

This Brazilian player was once valued by Florentino. In 2006, Florentino even proposed to build Real Madrid's lineup for the next ten years around Yang Yang and Robinho.

Now, with Yang Yang coming to Real Madrid and leading Real Madrid to the Champions League final, Robinho is becoming increasingly unpopular in Premier League Manchester City, and he frequently releases news in the final stage of the league, revealing that he is eager to return to Real Madrid.

Robinho's agent even revealed that his players are more suitable for Yang Yang's partner than Robben.

There are also Spanish media reports that Real Madrid is indeed considering the possibility of buying Robinho back.

...

Regarding the outside world rumors, Yang Yang attended a pre-match press conference the day before the game, according to the arrangements of UEFA and Real Madrid. In an interview with the media, he publicly stated that he was very satisfied with the current team's lineup.

"Buy Robinho back? I don't know if the club has such an idea. This is not my scope of responsibility. I am more concerned about the upcoming Champions League final." Yang Yang said this, deliberately paused for a moment, and changed the subject.

"I think that at present, our team has at least one very excellent world-class player in every position. This is the basis for us to reach the Champions League final. We cooperate very happily. I really like playing football with this group of teammates. For me, it is a very happy thing to fight side by side with a group of outstanding teammates."

Yang Yang's words also imply that Robben is the strongest winger in the world and has a very tacit understanding of his cooperation with him. He does not need to find other players to replace Robben in a short period of time.

This is also his first time to express his own opinions on the club's official transfer.

That is, between Robben and Robinho, he would choose Robben without hesitation.

This is not only because Robben is indeed very strong, but more importantly, the Champions League final is about to come, and the most important thing at this time is to stabilize the morale of the army.

Yang Yang also expressed his opinion on the upcoming Champions League final tomorrow, believing that the team should pay attention to Inter Milan.

"Many people think that the Champions League final is held at the Bernabeu and we should have a good chance of winning, but in fact, I think this idea is wrong. We only have half the chance of winning at most, and Inter Milan has another half."

"We don't need to prepare for the celebration, the floats, and the parade buses. I don't think we need to prepare anything, because the Champions League final victory trophy is our best gift. As long as we get it, I believe it is a very happy thing to walk from Bernabeu to Piazza Ciberes."

Yang Yang also said, "This is a very ordinary Champions League match. Like other games, there is no need to emphasize too much about other things. We should look at this match with a normal mind."

"In the game, we will definitely encounter many difficulties and may even have serious crises, but I believe that our team can reach today and all of us can enter the final stage, which means that we are fully prepared and we have the ability to overcome all difficulties."

"It's still what I said just now. This is just an ordinary game. As long as we look at it with a normal mind, that's enough!"
