In the first part of this series, I wrote the absolute presence of food, city, and Santiago Bernabéu. But for those who work around Real Madrid, his real cathedral is located in the northeast of the capital, in the fields of Valdebebebas soaked.
Friday, March 28, 2025. I made a small detour to Cibeles Square, at that morning, I covered it in part, before I jumped on the first train for Valdebebebas. Madrid’s T Pass does not feel accessible to the farthest corners, but the door of Central Madrid, Valdebebeb is not exactly a breeze. Despite the short unit, I took the realities and realities of long-distance trains and the waiting platforms for a long time, because it would last more than 15 minutes of the train.
Lucas Navarrete told Madrid, Lucas Navarrete to arrive at Valdebebas before 10:00 before training start. I tend to reach anything that happens. And this accounts. But this time I came comically early.
I was facing the Real Madrid Office Administration at Valdebeba around 8.30, before the press pass the table open. The assigned to distribute the passes has not yet reached. But he welcomed me to safety and allowed me to wait at the portal. The book felt like a luxury office than a football facility.
One by one, the club staff began to filter offices. At around 9:30, a woman approached me, he was fun.
“Don’t you say Lucas to come at 10?” asked.
“He did. I arrived here early,” I replied. He gave me my press pass.
The city of Real Madrid is massive: the world of the world of football and professionalism. From the administrative building to the media entrance is a very long walk, which cuts the player along the road. A small group of fans was already gathered at the doors, to get a look, a wave, autograph. The players began to drive, one by one. There was one of those early autographs, but most players offered a wave or a thumbs-up.
I reached the media area before 10am. Security informed me that he would not open for another 45 minutes. I soon found another journalist and the camera crew I joined ESPN, and others. Finally, the doors opened.
The internal route was beautiful. Paths Wind Group training pits Past wind, young players who are already in points. In the distance, Stéfano, Real Alfredo di Stéfano, I saw the house of Real Madrid Castilla. The first team raised the 2019-20 League of League and spent the entire 2020-21 campaign under Zinete Zinete Zidane. This stadium has the same size in Bernabéu.
Lift up, I reached the press room-right surrealized. The press room is awesome. A well-known background behind Carlo Ancelotti, was in front of me. I took some pictures of the room while it was empty. Journalists of other publications, students at the University of Real Madrid and the crew of the camera were slowly filling the seats.
The 15-minute window opened when the curtains of the press room rose and journalists left the balcony. He kicked the camera and live directly, and photographers were captured by the early rhythms of training. No tactical work occurs, mostly rondos, heating and light piercing. The gatekeepers went through their separate routines while Ancelotti spent with his staff. After these 15 minutes of the sun, the curtains fell again, journalists return to seats. The actual training began.
The press conference does not start until the Ancelotti workout is interrupted. Ancelotti represented the room in the room. Personally, it is higher than expected, surrounded by a quiet authority. Perhaps the perfect word to describe in person Find. It was a pre-press conference press conference, while Ancelotti was answering the questions.
Because I covered La Liga and Copa del Rey match, the questions asked at the press conference were only allowed in Spanish. I couldn’t ask questions, but I had a row of first row.
The second visit went to Valdebebas a few days later, Copa del Rey’s second back and second return. Like Bernabéu, the nerves were relieved, somewhat. This time, I arrived on time.
The key to Valdebebebas, everywhere, were photographs and tributes to the UEFA Champions League. Raúl Gonzalez, Toni Kroos, Cristiano Ramos, Sergio Ramos and several legend images are located on the stairs with a single-word Spanish message character and order. 15 Champions League Final posters are great versatile Having inside your academy.
Bernabéu, Valdebeba Real Madrid inhales Europe’s greatness. 15 times European champions and place never ignore.
