"I think we need Robben on the right." Yang Yang stated firmly.
Florentino and Manuel Redondo were not surprised by this. In fact, they had been mentally prepared for Yang Yang's thoughts long ago, because they both knew that Yang Yang had an extremely close relationship with Sneijder and shared a mutual appreciation with Robben.
Huntelaar and Drenthe, on the other hand, had no real friendship with Yang Yang.
"But his injuries..." Manuel Redondo said worriedly.
Robben's problem had never been his ability. It was his chronic issue of suffering too many injuries.
From Chelsea to Real Madrid, he had spent time recovering from injuries almost every season. That was unacceptable for any team. Mourinho had sold him back then precisely because he was too injury-prone, and Real Madrid was now facing the same concern.
"My personal coach, Winston Bogarde, is designing a complete set of customized physical enhancement training for Robben. Robben himself has also made up his mind to overcome this old problem. Besides, he has been transforming his style over the past few years, so I believe he'll perform even better next season." Yang Yang spoke with absolute confidence.
The standard of Winston Bogarde's training had long since become known throughout the world through the various reports about Yang Yang and Liverpool.
Gerrard and Daniel Agger, who had originally suffered quite a few injuries, had reduced their injury problems under Winston Bogarde's training. Aurélio had even escaped injuries altogether under his guidance, reaching the peak of his career this season and suddenly becoming one of the best left-backs in European football.
Therefore, when Yang Yang said that Winston Bogarde was capable of training Robben well, Florentino believed him.
"Your opinion is very important to us. We'll give it serious consideration." Florentino made his position clear.
"Thank you."
