1455 I will cover you later!

On the morning of July 11, Madrid is a good weather in the sky and cloudless sky.

When Mbappe took his friend Varane's Audi and slowly drove into the Valdebebas training base, he was curious about everything here, although just a few days ago, he had visited the most advanced training base in the world football, accompanied by Real Madrid coach Zidane.

But today is obviously different from before, because today is the first day of Real Madrid's training camp in the new season.

Although they were only selected for the French national team for the first time in March, Mbappe and Varane got along very well. The two were a few years apart, but they both had African blood and were very good at talking, especially now they both played for Real Madrid.

Slowly parked the car into the parking space, Mbappe got off the car, and immediately put his attention in the most conspicuous position.

The latest Porsche Cayenne!

This is quite eye-catching in Audi's Valdebebas training base, and it's hard not to pay attention.

"This is Yang Yang's car." Varane walked over and said with a smile.

Mbappe nodded. He was a big fan of Yang Yang, so it was impossible for him not to know this.

"This is Ramos's, Suarez, and here comes this one is Tonycross, Asensio, Kante and David Silva." Speaking of this, Varane turned around and pointed to the opposite side, "There is the parking area for the coaches and staff, and the first one is Zidane."

Mbappe tried hard to remember the introductions of his friends, but it was too much and complicated, and it was a bit messy.

"It's okay, you just need to remember your parking space. Even if you park it wrong, it's okay." Varane said with a smile.

Mbappe nodded at first, but soon showed a embarrassed look, "Raphael, will there be no conflict in our team?"

In his impression, Real Madrid is full of top stars in Europe and even the world. So many stars gather together and because of competition in the game, some conflicts will inevitably occur.

Although Monaco is not as many superstars as Real Madrid, it has caused many conflicts last season. In Mbappe's impression, the club parking spaces have happened twice, which are caused by other players accidentally occupying fixed parking spaces of their teammates.

Could it be that Real Madrid doesn’t have this problem?

"Is it a conflict? Sure," Varane said frankly, "Everyone plays in the same team, and the competition pressure is very high. They all come from all over the world, and have their own different living habits and styles. How could there be no conflict? But our locker room is still relatively harmonious. If you have any questions, you can negotiate and resolve them. At most, you can just a few quarrels."

"That's it?" Mbappe was a little surprised.

In Monaco, quarrels are common, and the conflicts he mentioned are almost attacking, or even starting.

Of course, these news will not be published, they are only known within the team.

"Our locker room boss is Ramos. You didn't see his style. If you really want to fight, who can do better than him? He is the perfect boss in the locker room. We all listen to him. As long as you see his aura, you will know why he is the boss."

At the end, Varane raised his eyebrows at Mbappe, as if he was telling his little brother that if he wanted to do better in Real Madrid, it would be better not to provoke Ramos, this guy is a tattooed guy.

"What about Yang Yang?" Mbappe finally asked the question he was most concerned about.

Varane hesitated for a moment, "What did Yang Yang say? He is not a locker room boss."

"No?" Mbappe was shocked, because everyone outside said that Yang Yang was the boss of Real Madrid's locker room.

"What you hear is a false story from the outside world. Yang Yang rarely speaks in the locker room, but more often. Since I came to this team, I have rarely seen him say anything in the locker room. The leader has always been the captain of Real Madrid. In the past, Raul and Casillas, now Ramos and Marcelo."

After a pause, Varane frowned again, "But since he became the chief assistant coach, he often mobilized pre-match and midfielder training, but it was more of a business job."

Mbappe was a little surprised and a little disappointed. He thought Yang Yang was the boss in the locker room who was right and the one who said everything he said.

"But you must not think that he has no place in the locker room." Varane saw Mbappe's expression and smiled.

"What's the meaning?"

"He is not the boss, but what he says works better than everyone else. Not to mention Ramos and Marcelo, even Zidane and even technical director Bardano have to listen to him."

Mbappe was stunned. He was so awesome!

"Anyway, you will understand slowly that Yang Yang is very detached, but his personality is really easy to get along with. He also gives gifts during festivals. I can get the latest mobile phones and tablets every year, which are the gifts he gives. Sometimes we all say that it is because of Yang Yang's personality that our locker room is so harmonious."

Varane's words surprised Mbappe, but he soon understood.

The discord in the Monaco locker room is largely due to the fact that the stars, such as Falcao, obviously look down on other Monaco players, especially some young players. However, last season when Mbappe was rapidly rising, Falcao's status and role on the court were weakened, which led to his eyes looking at Mbappe very differently.

Although there was no conflict, Mbappe could easily feel this.

If a team's star is a troublesome person, then the team's locker room will not be calm.

"Anyway, believe me, in Real Madrid, you just need to play football with peace of mind." Varane patted Mbappe's shoulder and said earnestly in the tone of a senior.

Mbappe nodded heavily, indicating that he remembered it.

At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came not far away.

"Raphael, why do I feel that you are becoming more and more arrogant now?"

Hearing the sound, Mbappe and Varane were both surprised. They turned around and happened to see Yang Yang and Zidane coming over with a smile. They obviously saw them and came over to say hello.

"Although I'm quite tender in front of you, you have to know that I am already the captain of the French national team." Varane smiled, and walked over quickly at the same time, hugging Zidane and Yang Yang enthusiastically.

"Welcome to Real Madrid!" Yang Yang let go of Varane and stretched out his hand towards Mbappe.

"Thank you." Mbappe looked quite excited and held Yang Yang's hand, then took another step forward, hugging him hard, "I still remember that I was almost here in this place back then, and I hugged you like this, telling you to wait for me, now I'm here!"

Yang Yang laughed. He vaguely remembered what happened back then. He forgot the specific details, but he still remembered that Mbappe was not as tall as he is now, and he didn't believe at that time that the thin child could really come to him and become his teammate.

"Raphael is right. At Real Madrid, the most important thing you are to train well and play to your strongest level in the game. You don't need to worry about other things, we will do it for you."

Varane said this just now, and Mbappe was still a little confused, but now Yang Yang said this, he believed it without a doubt.

"In the next season, you have many opportunities. Don't worry. Just joining a team will definitely require some time to adapt. We are all patient with you. You have enough time to slowly adapt and integrate into the team and slowly improve your strength." Zidane also comforted.

Mbappe nodded. Zidane had already talked to him about these things before.

In the initial stage, Real Madrid will appropriately arrange him to be a functional player, that is, arrange appropriate tactics and try to play to his advantages and characteristics, but they will definitely not organize offensive tactics around him like Monaco.

In Real Madrid, only Yang Yang has such qualifications and status.

Besides, as a young player, Mbappe has just arrived and has not yet proved himself, so the most important thing for him now is to use his own strength to prove himself like his teammates before he can discuss other things.

To gain a foothold in a new team, especially a team as complex as Real Madrid, and to succeed, Mbappe not only needs to improve himself, but also needs to do more and better.

"Don't be nervous or worry, I'll cover you in the future!" Yang Yang joked and patted Mbappe on the shoulder.

Although it was a joke, in fact, Yang Yang really did this.

He personally brought Mbappe to Real Madrid's locker room and introduced the new player to all teammates including Ramos. He said in a joke, "He is my fan. He has come to the locker room. Please take care of him in the future."

Not only that, Yang Yang also wrote a promise to have a meal on the blackboard, but since Real Madrid will fly to Los Angeles, USA this afternoon, the meal will not be eaten until after returning from the training camp in the United States.

But everyone can see that Yang Yang was very happy about Mbappe's joining.

Of course, not everyone is like this, because Mbappe's arrival will inevitably strengthen the competition within Real Madrid, especially among several young players. However, as Morata and Di Maria left the team, two positions were vacant in the frontcourt, which gave other Real Madrid players, including Asensio and Vasquez, more opportunities.

As for who can gain a foothold in the first team and get the main position, it depends on strength and performance.

Although Mbappe joined the club with the highest value, his annual salary is not high. Asensio and Isco have proved their strength in Real Madrid, and they may not have no hope of competing for the main position.

Especially considering that Mbappe is a newcomer and wants to stand firm in Real Madrid all at once, this is definitely not an easy task.
