After the Christmas luncheon, before that afternoon's training session, all the Real Madrid players gathered in the dressing room for another annual event: Yang Yang's gift-giving.
Ever since his time at Ajax, Yang Yang had carefully prepared a gift for his teammates every holiday.
In the beginning, it had been mobile phones. Later, as Yang Yang's fame and influence grew, other items gradually appeared, such as products from sponsors. The gifts varied in value, but the Christmas presents were usually the most expensive.
This year, Yang Yang had prepared a watch for every player in Real Madrid's First Team.
The watches came from Yang Yang's personal sponsor, the famous Swiss watch brand Audemars Piguet. They had strongly sponsored Yang Yang for many years. In fact, during the season after Real Madrid won the treble, they had even released a limited-edition Royal Oak Yang Yang watch. Only one thousand had been sold worldwide, and its entire design had been inspired by Yang Yang and football. Once released, it had quickly been snatched up by collectors around the world.
The gifts Yang Yang had prepared for his teammates this time also came with the sponsor's support. They retailed for nearly twenty thousand euros each. Everyone in the team, including the players and coaching staff, received one, costing Yang Yang nearly one million euros.
But that was only part of it. The watches had been specially made to commemorate Real Madrid's treble the previous season. Thus, besides having Yang Yang's English name engraved on them to represent that they were gifts from him, they also bore the year of Real Madrid's treble as a keepsake.
Besides giving every Real Madrid player a watch, Yang Yang had also carefully prepared an Audemars Piguet commemorative watch for each of his National Team teammates and members
