Yang Yang had no idea that Real Madrid's management was struggling over his contract renewal. He was devoting himself wholeheartedly to the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
As long as they won this FIFA Club World Cup, Real Madrid would have successfully defended their Grand Slam title. What an honor that would be.
Real Madrid had long accumulated plenty of experience with the FIFA Club World Cup, especially when it came to traveling to Japan.
What time to leave Madrid, what time to arrive in Japan, what to eat, how to adjust to the time difference after arriving, where to stay, where to train... Real Madrid already had a highly comprehensive logistical support system for all of this.
They left Madrid in the morning and arrived in Japan in the morning as well. That afternoon, the team held a forty-minute training session. The workload was very light and focused mainly on adjusting their bodies. After getting a good night's sleep at the hotel, they had more or less recovered.
The next day, the team still held two training sessions, morning and evening, just as usual. By then, the players had basically recovered, and that afternoon, Real Madrid's support team also began arriving in Japan one after another. Among them was Real Madrid's management team and entourage of relatives and friends, numbering as many as two hundred people.
From Head Coach Zidane's family to Yang Yang's wife and children, as well as the families of the coaching staff and First Team players, everyone arrived in Japan that afternoon and checked into a garden hotel that Real Madrid had reserved in advance.
That night, the team was given time off and everyone was free to do as they pleased. They could rest at the hotel with their families or go out sightseeing,
