In the following two days, major media around the world were paying attention to Yang Yang's injuries and the upcoming century derby.

Real Madrid did not disclose Yang Yang's specific injury to the outside world, and said ambiguously that Yang Yang's nose was damaged and whether he could catch up with the last century derby depends on the diagnosis of Dr. Lamolareja and the team doctor.

Club Chairman Florentino also said in an interview with the media the next day, "We will not take risks with Yang Yang's body. For us, the weekend's Camp Nou battle is just a league game, but Yang Yang is the club's most precious wealth, and we have no reason to take any unnecessary risks."

Florentino said that whether Yang Yang can play will be decided by the head coach, team doctor and players themselves.

Ancelotti issued a ban on Real Madrid players from accepting media interviews.

But the omnipresent media still captured some news, such as Yang Yang went to Lamorareja Hospital for treatment for two consecutive days. He seemed to be seriously injured, and he wore a black mask throughout the whole process, refusing to show his true face, but only said to the outside world that his injuries were red and swollen.

Catalan media also tried to spy on military information at the La Morareja Hospital, but this top private hospital in Spain and even Europe is partners with Real Madrid and will not disclose any situation to the outside world. Therefore, rumors from the outside world are also confusing, with many different opinions and various remarks.

Some people think that this is Ancelotti and Real Madrid taking the opportunity to fire smoke bombs and deliberately release fake news to confuse Barcelona, ​​but in fact, Yang Yang is not seriously injured at all and will definitely appear at the Camp Nou Stadium.

But some people think that Real Madrid has no need to do such stupid actions, because it is too obvious and cannot confuse people at all. The most likely explanation is that Yang Yang's nose was indeed damaged, because even Juventus' central defender Chiellini said in an interview with Italian media after returning to Turin that he was indeed very sorry for Yang Yang's injury.

Yang Yang is known as the [Barcelona Nemesis] and will perform well almost every time he faces Barcelona. If you can't see Yang Yang in the first century derby of this season, it will definitely be a loss for fans around the world, and it will also have a huge blow to Real Madrid.

In fact, everyone can see that after Yang Yang got out, Real Madrid's offense did not have a good way to defend Juventus. Suarez performed very hard, but there was still a little gap compared to Yang Yang.

Barcelona's defense is definitely not as good as Juventus, but at the Camp Nou Stadium, what Real Madrid needs most is Yang Yang's efficiency, stability and calmness in the major competition, which is actually Suarez's shortcomings.

Everyone knows that after joining Real Madrid, the Uruguayan striker was still receiving counseling from a psychologist to avoid the recurrence of biting incidents. It can be seen that it is difficult for him to replace Yang Yang in a critical battle.

...

Amid the hot discussion about Yang Yang and the Century Derby, the list of forty candidates for the European Golden Boy Awards was newly released, but it did not attract much attention from the outside world.

The award, which was selected by Turin Sports, has been awarded ten European Golden Boys since 2003, including the first Van der Fate and the second Yang Yang. In addition, Messi, Fabregas and Aguero have won this award. It can be said that this represents a recognized future rookie in Europe.

Those who can enter this list are all very famous. The biggest brand must be Juventus' Pogba. He has completely established his main position in the Zebra Legion and has performed very well.

Lukaku of Everton, Fisher of Ajax, Carrasco of Monaco, Draxler of Schalke Zero Four, and Nastasic of Manchester City, are all famous young rookies in Europe.

Three Real Madrid players were shortlisted in the forty-man roster, namely central defender Varane, Morata and Hesse on the forward line.

All three players performed quite well in Real Madrid, but their biggest weakness is that they cannot play as the main players. Even Varane did not have an advantage in the competition with Ramos, Fermuren and Xavi Martinez.

By contrast, the most popular ones are Juventus' Pogba and Everton's Lukaku.

However, Real Madrid has three players shortlisted, which shows that the team has indeed made considerable gains in the youth reform in the past two years.

…………

October 25th, the day before the Century Derby.

There were troubles outside, but the Valdebebas training base was calm.

Ancelotti issued a ban on the outside, prohibiting anyone from accepting media interviews privately, and naturally prohibiting outside media reporters and fans from entering Valdebebas, with the goal of creating a stable preparation environment for the team.

In the two games in a row, Real Madrid's training was mainly about recovery and adjustment, so nervous that they didn't even have time for tactical drills. They could only prepare for the century derby by holding meetings and analyzing Barcelona's tactical videos.

Not only Real Madrid, but Barcelona must be the same.

No coach will do a metering training in a week's double game unless he wants to play the players out.

This amount of training is not important for Yang Yang, so he still sticks to his original habits and runs to the swimming pool in Valdebebas alone for a swim.

The hardware of the training base of Real Madrid can be said to be the best in the entire European football world, among which the swimming pool is Yang Yang’s favorite.

Whether it is Ajax or Liverpool, the swimming pool is not big because the training base is not spacious, only twenty-five meters long. However, the swimming pool of Real Madrid has ten swimming lanes, fifty meters long, and is fully open around. The lighting conditions are excellent, and it is well maintained every day, with excellent water quality.

It can be said that swimming in such a swimming pool is a real pleasure for Yang Yang, who has long been proficient in various swimming postures.

Every time he was tired of swimming, he would let himself float on the water for a while, and his whole body was extremely relaxed and very comfortable.

...

A cough came from the shore, disturbing Yang Yang who was floating in the swimming pool.

He woke up and happened to see Zidane and Ancelotti standing on the shore, both of whom looked at him with a smile on their faces.

Yes, there are many different stories outside, but in fact, Yang Yang has already been fine.

Although Chiellini's attack was not light, it was not serious. He only shed a lot of blood on the spot, which looked a bit scary, and after the treatment, it was basically nothing serious.

"How is it?" Yang Yang asked with a smile on the shore of the swimming pool.

The coaching staff has been studying the strategy of tomorrow's Barcelona today, and there is no rest even at noon.

There is another thing that is very different from previous years in this century derby, that is, the time is arranged even higher, and the kick-off is at 18 o'clock, which is almost the earliest century derby game in the past years.

One of the important reasons is to accommodate fans in Asia and other time zones.

But even so, Real Madrid still decided to set off for Barcelona early tomorrow morning.

"It's still under research, and many problems are difficult to guard against." Ancelotti said with a wry smile.

Barcelona currently has two biggest reliances, one is their ball-control ability, and the other is the personal ability of attacking stars in the frontcourt.

Needless to say, Barcelona's concept of passing and possession can be said to have led the development of European professional football in the past few years. Everyone is absorbing the ideas they need and drawing some of their own things, and even in turn restraining Barcelona.

The latter is elusive because the players' personal abilities are too strong, which often makes the stars' personal performance on the court completely unpredictable, and no one can guess what will happen in the next second.

However, the head coach’s preparation before the game is to curb all risks to the minimum and put forward different targeted plans for all possible situations during the game. This move is obviously difficult to work when facing Barcelona.

"Then don't think too much. Follow our original model, fight whatever we should do." Yang Yang said readily.

Ancelotti and Zidane looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

That's it, but you still have to worry about what you should worry about, which is why the head coach is under such great pressure.

After coaching Real Madrid, Ancelotti's head has increased significantly.

Everyone only saw the glamor on the surface, but ignored that coaching Real Madrid itself is a stressful thing.

In this team, if you can't win a championship in a season, it's a failure.

This season, La Liga, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are all very competitive.

Although Atletico Madrid lost two games, that's because Real Madrid and Barcelona both won nine consecutive games, which is also the only number in European football.

After a while of chatting, Yang Yang also got up from the swimming pool and discussed some things against Barcelona with the two coaches.

"By the way, I may return to the team tonight." Yang Yang rarely asked for leave.

The night before the team's game, as usual, they must stay in the hotel, even at home.

But Ancelotti and Zidane nodded without any surprise, "Okay, arrange your time."

Yang Yang didn't explain much.

...

In fact, Yang Yang asked for leave because today was his birthday.

Su Ye was busy early in the morning and prepared a dinner and a cake for him.

He hasn't celebrated his birthday seriously for many years. At this time of year, he is not only a competition, but also a competition. This time Su Ye wants to give him one.

Yang Yang didn't want to be too lively or extravagant, just a family of three had a meal at home and cut a cake, and it was a birthday.

But what he didn't expect was that after celebrating his birthday at home, he returned to the hotel more than an hour later than the gathering time. All his teammates actually brought another specially customized big cake waiting for him, and this cake can be eaten by players.

"In the past four years, we have either been busy with the competition or have not been able to celebrate you for various reasons. It is rare to have time this year, so we all want to celebrate your birthday." Captain Casillas and Ramos said with a smile when they launched the cake.

When everyone in the team, including the coaching staff and staff, light candles and sing birthday songs for him, Yang Yang was particularly moved, not because of a piece of cake, but because they all remembered his birthday and prepared all this without hiding it.
