From coaching Real Madrid

The closer we get to the finals, the more rumors there are outside.

All kinds of news and news are coming from all directions like snowflakes.

Rijkaard has always been paying attention to Gao Shen's every move.

Because he still clearly remembers that Gao Shen played Ronaldo on him once at Camp Nou.

This time, he would never allow himself to make similar mistakes again.

Various analyzes are emerging outside, and one theory is very mainstream, that is, Real Madrid is likely to give up the last round of La Liga and try its best to compete for the Champions League.

The reason is very simple. For Real Madrid, the risk is too great and the probability is too low for Real Madrid in the last round.

Even if we beat Sevilla in an away game, we still have to look at Barcelona's face in the end, which is not cost-effective in any way.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to abandon the car and save the coach and focus on the Champions League final.

Real Madrid has always had a tradition of emphasizing the Champions League and despising La Liga. If Gao Shen makes this decision, it is actually not too surprising.

Rijkaard often puts himself into Gao Shen's position and thinks about Gao Shen's current environment from his perspective.

The team is at a disadvantage in strength, has no physical advantage, and the schedule is unfavorable. What should we do with this situation?

It is also wise to make appropriate choices and focus on a certain front.

But will he really do this?

Rijkaard could not guess the depth.

…

Knock knock knock.

Rijkaard heard the knock on the door, raised his head, and saw Tenkat walking in with a report.

"The latest information obtained from Madrid, Real Madrid's itinerary has been finalized."

Tenkat worked vigorously and handed the report in his hand to Rijkaard as he spoke.

The two La Liga teams meet in the Champions League final. This is not only a contest of strength and formation, but also a contest of logistical support. Both are the key to the team's victory.

Barcelona's itinerary is also scheduled. They live in a luxury hotel converted from an old monastery in the Versailles district of Paris, so that they can avoid the distractions of the outside world to the greatest extent.

In addition, a large truck filled with team supplies has also set off from Barcelona to Paris, France. In addition to supplies and ingredients, there are also training equipment, but the most important thing is a super large bottle of

of champagne.

This was specially brought by Barcelona to celebrate the second Champions League title in the club's history.

It can be said that Barcelona has made full preparations for this final.

Real Madrid is certainly no exception.

The report Rijkaard received detailed every move of Real Madrid, including the hotel they would stay in, their food and supplies, and their accompanying team members, etc.

Among them, what caught Rijkaard's attention was Real Madrid's time in Seville.

That is the 38th round of La Liga, when Real Madrid is away from home.

"What's going on?" Rijkaard asked with a frown, "Is the information accurate?"

"It's been confirmed, it can't be faked." Tenkat replied affirmatively.

The report in Rijkaard's hands showed that Real Madrid flew to Seville in the afternoon and returned at midnight.

The last round of La Liga has a unified kick-off time. Kick-off is on time at 21:00 in the evening, and the game is finished at almost midnight.

In other words, Real Madrid has almost no plans to stay in Seville.

After arriving at the away game, take a short rest before starting the game, and then return directly to Madrid after the game. The entire trip may even take less than twelve hours.

It came and went in a hurry, and it didn't look like it was carefully prepared and vowed to win.

After all, in such a hurry, there is a high probability of accidents, which may even affect the team's game.

"Real Madrid's management has always been excellent in terms of logistical support, but this is too hasty and very risky. Is it worth it just to save such a little time?" Tenkat was a little skeptical.

Rijkaard also agreed very much, but he thought of another possibility.

Going through the motions.

"Is there a possibility that they don't take this game to heart at all?"

Tenkat was at a loss for words. This is indeed a possibility.

In fact, the outside world has been speculating that Real Madrid is unlikely to reverse in the league, and it depends on Barcelona's face, so Real Madrid is likely to give up the league and focus on the Champions League finals.

This possibility is still very high, especially in a questionnaire survey of Real Madrid fans. The vast majority of Real Madrid fans believe that if they choose between two championships, they will choose the tenth Champions League.

If that's the case, then Real Madrid's rushed trip makes sense.

But would Gao Shen really do this?

"Genk, we have to imagine a possibility. If we fight against our opponents in Bilbao and consume a lot of money, and Real Madrid does not try its best in Seville, but recharges its energy to prepare for the Champions League, then..."

Rijkaard stopped short of the point, but the subtext was clear.

Barcelona still has the advantage, but Real Madrid's chances of winning will be much improved, and the risk of the Champions League final will be greater.

Especially considering that in the original battle at Camp Nou, Real Madrid's defense was something Barcelona had experienced before.

Times have changed, and after a period of polishing, Gao Shen's training of Real Madrid's defense has obviously become even better.

If Real Madrid really gives up La Liga and goes all out to hit the Champions League final, then Barcelona will have to guard against it.

Thinking of this, Rijkaard let out a heavy breath.

This is a dilemma.

If you want to complain, you can only blame yourself for losing too many points in the league before and failing to maintain a ten-point lead until the end.

If the league stabilizes its advantage early and wins the championship early, why is it in a dilemma now?

Of course, the damn Chinese are more to blame.

I don’t know how he did it, but he was able to bring Real Madrid back to life, pursue Barcelona relentlessly, and push Barcelona into this embarrassing situation.

If we try our best against Athletic Bilbao, it will definitely affect the Champions League final three days later.

If you stay focused, the scale is difficult to measure, and you may lose points in the away game if you are not careful.

Rijkaard also has a headache now.

"Henk, what do you think?" Rijkaard asked with a sigh.

Tenkat understands Rijkaard. To put it mildly, it means he has pursuits. To put it bluntly, it means he is easily entangled and worried about gains and losses.

We always want to do everything perfectly and thoughtfully, but humans are not God, so how can everything go as planned?

"I don't think he will give up La Liga. He is not that kind of person. He knows how to fight and gamble. So I think this is probably a strategy for him to interfere with us, whether it is intentional or unintentional."

Rijkaard nodded slightly, not ruling out the possibility.

But he still felt that Gao Shen's actions were not that simple.

"I suggest that we go all out to win Athletic Bilbao and take the lead. After winning La Liga, the team's morale will be greatly boosted. Real Madrid's morale will definitely be affected. Then we will work together to kill them at the Stade de France. With our strength,

It can be done!”

Rijkaard was greatly encouraged, "Is it okay?"

"Of course, Xavi and Messi are both capable of participating in the competition." Tenkat said eagerly.

As soon as Tenkat finished speaking, Rijkaard frowned again.

"Xavi has performed well in several appearances, but he has been injured for so long. If he is allowed to play in the Champions League final, I'm afraid..."

After a pause, Rijkaard shook his head again, "There's also Messi. He hasn't even played in a game since he recovered from injury. If we let him play hastily, I'm afraid his condition may not be guaranteed."

After hearing this, Tenkat clicked his tongue and said, "We have the advantage in strength, high error tolerance, and can afford to gamble. What are we afraid of?"

Rijkaard looked at his assistant deeply and did not express his position on the spot.

In fact, his biggest problem with Tenkat is that he has a strong gambling habit.

Of course, Tenkat is an assistant coach and is not the main person responsible for winning or losing.

But as the team's head coach, Rijkaard must consider everything and find an optimal solution.

"I'll think about it again," Rijkaard said.

Tenkat watched the change in Black Swan's expression and knew that he would think about it for a long time, so he said nothing more.

Anyway, he will leave Barcelona after this season.

In the beginning, the reason why he gave up being a head coach in the Eredivisie and became an assistant coach to Frank Rijkaard was to put it bluntly. Now that he has gained qualifications, why should he fall in love?

Before turning around, Tenkat originally wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he finally left without saying anything.

Character determines destiny!

…………

…………

Real Madrid's away schedule was decided by Gao Shen, but he confirmed it with Buenaventura and the team doctor and felt it was feasible.

It's an hour's flight from Madrid to Seville. Real Madrid's away game is a chartered flight. Valdebebas is near the airport. Seville Airport is not far from the hotel and Pizjuan Stadium. The time spent in between

Not a lot.

The advantage of this is that Real Madrid can have more time to stay in Madrid to prepare for the game.

Of course, this is the main purpose.

Gao Shen also wanted to take this opportunity to paralyze his opponents, create a sign that Real Madrid might give up on the league and concentrate on preparing for the Champions League final, and then confuse Barcelona and Rijkaard.

Even the questionnaire surveys conducted by AS and MARCA two days ago were all arranged by Gao Shen and asked by the club.

Everyone knows that Real Madrid fans naturally like the Champions League, so there is no need to elaborate or even guess what kind of results such a questionnaire survey will produce.

And he only has one purpose in doing this, which is to confuse and interfere with his opponent as much as possible.

If Barcelona really tries its best to defeat Athletic Bilbao, frankly speaking, it is unlikely that Real Madrid will come back and win the championship.

Therefore, Gao Shen has been interfering and influencing Rijkaard.

These are just small tricks. Whether they can work or not depends on Rijkaard himself.

Gao Shen had read his books in the tactical library and carefully studied some of his personality and ways of doing things. He felt that these could interfere with Rijkaard.

As for whether he can achieve his wish, in the final analysis, it still depends on Rijkaard's choice.

Gao Shen had no choice, he didn't like it, and even hated it, the feeling of being dominated by others.

But at this moment, he had no choice.

Who made that damn Luxenberg lose so miserably at the Bernabeu?

At the same time, Gao Shen is also carefully preparing for the game against Sevilla.

To put it bluntly, no matter what Rijkaard chooses, Real Madrid will only be qualified to win the championship if they defeat Sevilla.

Otherwise, everything Gao Shen did would be just a joke after all.
