From coaching Real Madrid

On the evening of August 18th.

It was approaching 21 o'clock, and the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the center of Madrid was brightly lit and bustling with people.

76,870 Real Madrid fans poured into the Bernabeu Stadium, filling every stand in the stadium.

This is Real Madrid's first game of the season, and it's at home.

When the referee Jesus Hill Manzano led the referee team and players from both teams out of the tunnel, the fans in the stadium burst into deafening cheers at the same time, as if they were going to the Bernabeu.

The roof collapsed.

The sound wave was like a tide, sweeping through every corner of the stadium and shaking everyone's eardrums.

Everyone is crazier and more enthusiastic.

…

"Friends, viewers, this is the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Welcome to the fifth game of the first round of the 2013/2014 La Liga season. Real Madrid faces Real Betis at home."

"So far, there have been four games in the first round of La Liga, of which the home team won three, including the opening game yesterday afternoon, when Real Sociedad defeated Getafe 2-0 at home, and Valencia's home game last night

A narrow 1-0 win over Malaga.”

"In another focus game that just ended, Barcelona beat Levante 7-0."

"After Barcelona's new head coach Martino took charge of the team, he won consecutive big scores. The team's performance was very good. At the Nou Camp, they beat the opponent by seven goals and launched a crazy offensive storm."

"Now, Real Madrid is facing Real Betis at home, and the pressure will still be relatively high."

"Gao Shen's team missed out on La Liga last season. Just yesterday at the pre-match press conference, Gao Shen said very confidently that Real Madrid's goal this season is to win the Triple Crown."

"If we want to win the Triple Crown, La Liga cannot afford to lose anything."

"But now, Barcelona's victory has undoubtedly brought huge pressure to Real Madrid."

"Amidst the crazy shouts of the fans at the scene, the players from the two teams entered the stadium."

"We can now see Real Madrid's starting lineup."

"The goalkeeper is Courtois, who was Real Madrid's main goalkeeper in La Liga last season."

"Gaoshen has two top goalkeepers. Courtois plays in the league and Casillas plays in the cup. The division of labor is very clear."

"The defense has been adjusted. Marcos Alonso, Ramos, Varane and Nacho form the defense."

"This is a bit surprising. There are three main players who did not start, Marcelo, Carvajal and Pepe."

"Obviously, Gao Shen wants to prepare for the Spanish Super Cup three days later in this game. It is also at this stadium that Real Madrid will face the overwhelming Barcelona."

"There are also some surprises in the midfield, with Pogba, Casemiro and Verratti."

“Among them, Paul Pogba is a talented midfielder that Real Madrid spent 60 million euros to introduce from Leeds United in the Premier League this summer. Gao Shen attaches great importance to him, as well as Gao Shen’s favorite players Verratti and Casemiro.

These three young midfielders took the lead in the first game of the new season."

"Dare to use new people, this is Gao Shen's consistent style."

"On the front line, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to start, with Dzeko at center and Isco on the right."

"I have to say, this is also very surprising."

"It's not unusual for Cristiano Ronaldo to start, and Dzeko to start instead of Benzema, which is understandable, but Isco plays on the right, which is surprising because Isco played as a winger several times last season.

The results are not particularly ideal.”

"What's more, in addition to Di Maria, Real Madrid now also has Jese, Morata and Vazquez who can play this position."

"Gao Shen chose Isco, which is a bit puzzling."

"Judging from the starting lineup, Real Madrid may make some adjustments. It will no longer be a simple four-three-three, but also vigorously promote the young players in the team to take on their own roles. I don't know if this group of newcomers can sustain Gao Shen's trust in them."

…

When the players from both teams lined up, Gao Shen walked out of the home team's tunnel.

The fans in the stands suddenly burst into crazy screams.

Countless fans were shouting Gao Shen's name. They were a little scattered at first, but gradually they became more and more organized.

In the end, the entire Bernabeu Stadium was shouting Gao Shen.

Gao Shen was still wearing a suit from his sponsor Qiton today, looking very decent. He raised his hand and greeted the fans with a smile, but he walked towards the visiting team's coaching bench.

The head coach of Real Betis is Pepe Maier, a chubby bald man with a friendly smile.

"Welcome to the Bernabeu!"

"Thank you, Gao!"

After shaking hands and hugging Pepe Mel, Gao Shen then shook hands with the nearby Real Betis coaching staff, and finally returned to Pepe Mel, "I hope it will be a wonderful game tonight, and I wish you good luck!"

"

"The same to you!"

After Gao Shen said hello, he turned around and walked towards the home team's coaching bench.

And his entire process was shown on the big screen at the Bernabeu Stadium by a guide.

All the fans in the audience were cheering.

…

"If this continues, I'm even starting to worry a little bit, will he come out to run for the chairman of our Real Madrid?"

Florentino happened to be in the box of Spanish King Juan Carlos at this moment. Seeing this scene in the stadium, he laughed and said.

Juan Carlos smiled extremely exaggeratedly, "I don't dare to see him now because I'm afraid he will discuss the throne with me."

Everyone around burst into laughter again.

At that time, Juan Carlos would rather give up his throne to Gao Shen for the Real Madrid game. This has become a hot topic around the world. Even the King of Spain himself uses it to make fun of himself from time to time.

For example, he had previously joked in front of the media that the throne was no longer his and he was temporarily keeping it for Gao Shen.

Of course, the suspicion that he took advantage of the popularity cannot be ruled out.

"To be honest, tonight's game is quite stressful." Juan Carlos said, his smile gone.

Two hours ago, Barcelona beat Levante 7-0 at Camp Nou, with all four offensive players in the frontcourt scoring.

Among them, Messi scored one goal, Neymar scored two goals, and Sanchez and Aguero, who came on the bench, scored one goal each.

"Barcelona will win a big victory, and the senior rotation will be so strong. Are you sure?" Juan Carlos asked worriedly.

Florentino smiled comfortingly, "Don't worry, Gao Shen never fights an uncertain battle."

Juan Carlos nodded, "If he really can win the Triple Crown this season, I will really give up the throne to him."

Everyone around burst into laughter again.

Your Majesty the King, didn’t you give up the throne long ago?

What's going on?

Do you want to take the throne that you gave up long ago to increase your presence?

At this moment, the players from both teams in the stadium had already set up their formations.

Standing in the box and overlooking the entire field, you can clearly see that Real Madrid still plays 433, with Isco playing on the right.

This is very surprising.

Isco's speed is not outstanding, and he lacks impact when playing on the wing. How could Gao Shen choose to play like this?

With the kick-off from Real Betis forward Molina, the game officially kicked off.

Amid the cheers of the fans in the audience, Real Madrid's front three quickly moved toward the Real Sociedad half.

The game begins!

…

After Real Betis kicked off the ball, they did not pass the ball too far back. Instead, they made a long pass near the midfield, trying to reach the left wing in front, which was Real Madrid's right wing, to find Cedric.

Varane made a decisive move, headed the ball back, and headed it back.

But the ball passed the center line, was pushed back by a Real Betis player, and landed on the right side of the front court. Moreno stopped the ball and gave it to Verdu, but Casemiro decisively stepped forward and snatched the ball away.

As soon as Casemiro grabbed the ball, three Real Betis players surrounded him at the same time, leaving Casemiro with no choice but to pass the ball back.

Pepe passed the ball back to the goalkeeper.

Courtois stopped the ball at the edge of the small penalty area and raised his hand to signal his teammates to hold on.

Gao Shen stood on the sidelines without much reaction.

What should be said, he has repeatedly explained it two days ago and before the game.

Now, he just depends on the players' on-the-spot performance.

Courtois passed the ball to Ramos. The Real Madrid captain first went to the left, but Molina followed him.

So, Ramos suddenly stopped and turned around again, dribbling the ball to the right. As a result, the Real Betis striker still followed step by step.

There are also people near Pepe and Casemiro, which makes it difficult for Ramos to pass.

At this moment, Pogba ran back from the front and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Ramos quickly passed the ball over.

Betis' defensive players immediately followed Pogba, but after stopping the ball with his back, the French midfielder quickly passed the ball to Marcos Alonso on the wing, shouted again, and turned forward.

Marcos Alonso passed the ball directly back without stopping, and it happened to be passed to Pogba's forward path, completing a two-on-one from the wing.

Pogba passed the ball to Ronaldo again.

The Portuguese retreated, received the ball with his back, and passed it back to Marcos Alonso, who then passed it crosswise to Pogba. Then he saw Pogba pull the ball with his right foot, stop the ball, and pass sideways.

He got the right direction and made a long pass with his right foot.

This long pass was perfectly placed and the landing point was very good, but the arc was a little high and the ball speed was a bit slow.

Nacho quickly moved forward along the right sideline, caught up with Pogba's pass, headed the ball in front of him, sprinted forward as fast as possible, and when he caught up with the football, he had already reached Real Beti.

It's on the right side of Sri Lanka's penalty area.

It's really a coincidence that the left back of Real Betis, who is also the captain of Betis, is called Nacho, but he is from Malaga, and the Nacho of Real Madrid is from Madrid. The two have nothing to do with each other.

.

But it is obvious that Real Madrid's Nacho is faster. After catching up with the ball, he uses his speed to rush directly to the baseline and crosses the ball with his right foot.

The football flew to the front point at a very fast speed, and Dzeko was seen rushing in at high speed, getting ahead of Betis's two central defenders, and heading the ball.

The ball was touched by Dzeko and changed direction and fell to the back of the goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo sprinted as fast as he could, went straight to the back of the goal, met Dzeko's passing pass, and stepped out directly.

The ball was hit to the left by Ronaldo's kick.

Betis goalkeeper Anderson tried his best to fly, but was out of reach and hit the net.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"54 seconds!!"

“Only 54 seconds into the game, Real Madrid took the lead in breaking through Real Betis’ goal!”

“It’s been an absolutely fantastic start!”
