From coaching Real Madrid

17 Battle of the Golden Boys

The Yellow Vests, representing the main force, lost to the Red Vests 1-2 in the team match. However, after the training, the Yellow Vests players were not as frustrated as expected. They were somewhat disappointed, but more of they were surprised.

First of all, Arbeloa, Felipe Luis, Delared and Negredo, the four young players who came up from the second team, are all in their early twenties and have shown good strength, especially the two

Both full-backs are very solid.

Arbeloa on the right was mainly defensive, freezing Robinho until he lost his temper. Luis Felipe on the left froze Cassano and sent several wonderful passes from the left.

Created a dangerous situation in the frontcourt.

The players themselves will be able to feel whether they have the strength or not after playing for a while.

This is without any running-in. If the running-in is in place, these two players will perform better.

Negredo is one of the few high center forwards in the Real Madrid team. The only goal scored by the yellow vests in this game came from his header, and the assist for him happened to be Beckham on the right.

That precise cross from the right sent the ball directly to the front of the small penalty area. Negredo beat Mejía and succeeded with a header, regaining the game for the Yellow Vests.

In addition, Negredo also grabbed the first spot many times and created opportunities for Raul and Zidane. This was very rare in Real Madrid's previous tactics because Ronaldo would not fight for the top at all.

Zidane sits in the midfield, and Gao Shen gives him the highest tactical authority, allowing him to play freely without even requiring him to defend.

From Negredo to Raul to Beckham, plus the double defensive midfielders Graveson and De La Red, as well as the entire back line, Real Madrid devoted all their efforts to defense, while Zidane focused on controlling the midfield.

and passing the ball, but the Frenchman himself couldn't stand it and participated in counterattacks nearby from time to time.

The entire tactical system has a clear structure, the lineup is reasonably arranged, and the players feel comfortable playing on the court. Especially on the defensive end, the players feel reassured.

At least, the central defender no longer needs to worry that there is no one on his wing, nor does he need to worry that the offensive player will suddenly dribble the ball in front of him. He does not need to be worried and frightened all the time.

The central defender combination of Woodgate and Helguera did not perform very well, and both conceding goals were related to them, but they began to get better later. I believe that as the running-in is in place, especially the cooperation between the double midfielders and the defense line

As it gradually stabilizes, the two of them will be able to play with more ease.

Of course, the premise is that Woodgate cannot be injured again.

"how do you feel?"

After the training, Gao Shen walked beside captain Raul and asked with concern.

Raul nodded, "It's good. These young players are all very capable. Next, it depends on their running-in and their performance in official games."

After all, this is a team match. No matter how well you perform on the team's training ground, you may not be able to perform well when you enter the stadium.

Gao Shen is not worried about this at all, because the players he selected are all European-class stars who will be very successful in the next few years, some are even world-class stars, and their psychological quality is absolutely excellent.

"Where is Negredo?" Gao Shen asked again.

Raul was a little surprised, but soon understood what Gao Shen meant.

Negredo has good abilities, not just physically, but in Gao Shen's current tactics, Negredo can only be used as a high forward to give full play to his tactical characteristics and liberate Raul.

In fact, Gao Shen bet all the goals on Raul.

This made Raul somewhat moved and felt the trust from the high.

"Compared with Moro, he is still a little young, but he is very good and has an excellent body." Raul responded with a smile.

"Then you should let go of your arms and let us see that high-spirited Prince Bernabeu used this derby to tell Atletico Madrid and Torres who is the real golden boy!" Gao Shen encouraged.

Golden boy?

Raul hasn't heard anyone call him that for a long time. This used to be his honor, but since the superstars joined one after another, he has lost his position. He has begun to become a vassal of the superstars, and even gradually lost himself.

The distance to goal is getting further and further away. I once doubted whether I would score again?

But Gao Shen's words and the team match just now made Raul regain his hope.

He is only twenty-eight years old and in his prime!

To strike while the iron was hot, Gao Shen talked to Ramos, Guti and Gravesen respectively after the training.

Regarding Ramos, Gao Shen clearly told him that he valued him very, very much, but unfortunately, the team changed its tactics and needed to get them into shape as soon as possible. However, he was suspended in the weekend derby match, so the next step was to

Continue to arrange him as a substitute.

"Next, I hope you can play a more critical role in the team's defense, especially the central defender position, just like your idols Maldini and Hierro."

Maldini and Hierro?

Ramos was surprised because he had never told anyone that Maldini was his idol. How did Gao Shen know?

Because Raul had intervened before, Ramos and Guti were both easy to talk to. The former was suspended, while the latter was originally a substitute. As long as it was helpful to Real Madrid's current situation, they were both happy to see it happen.

What's more, Gao Shen clearly told Guti that he would be Zidane's most important substitute.

Everyone can see that in this four-two-three-one tactic, Zidane's midfielder is the top priority, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the core of the soul. And Gao Shen can make such a promise to Guti

, which shows his sincerity and attention.

Gravesen is actually the easiest to talk about, because he is one of the defensive midfielders that Gao Shen has high hopes for, and his on-field responsibilities are similar to those he had at Everton. He is very familiar with it. The key is

After wasting many years at Real Madrid, can Gravesen regain his form?

Judging from the team competition, he is still far from reaching his level in the Premier League.

Graveson made it clear that he supported Gao Shen's measures to suppress the Brazilian gang, which he believed was an attempt to bring order to chaos. He also supported Gao Shen's new tactics, which he believed could effectively strengthen Real Madrid's defense.

As for his own condition, he also promised that he would adjust it before the weekend.

After talking to the three people, it was late again.

At dusk, Gao Shen left Valdebebas on his bicycle and came to Carlo's house in the Ordaleza district.

No surprise, Carlo is still not at home.

"Mrs. Carlo, please tell your husband that I am already doing what he wanted to do but has never done."

"I still hope that he can cheer up as soon as possible, return to Valdebebas and help Real Madrid get out of the predicament."

Mrs. Carlo conveyed Carlo's words, hoping that Gao Shen would stay away from the quagmire of Real Madrid's first team as soon as possible, so as not to fall deeper into the quagmire and eventually be unable to protect himself.

Gao Shen thanked Carlo for the reminder and said he would seriously consider it.

From the beginning to the end, Gao Shen knew that Carlo was a good person, a very good and kind person.

But he is very conservative.

In fact, Carlo is very similar to Del Bosque. Their characters are not strong enough. They just want to be like lubricants to handle various conflicts and interests in the locker room. They do not have the courage and responsibility to solve the core and most important problems.

Essential contradiction.

During the Del Bosque period, there were big guys like Hierro in the locker room, as well as practical stars such as McManaman, Solari, and Cambiasso. The dependence on the superstars was not as great as imagined, so there were internal factions.

The contradiction is not obvious.

But gradually, as there were more and more superstars, they devoured more and more resources, and even seriously infringed on the interests of other players. In addition, the middle-level practical stars left the team one after another, and the internal factions were completely torn apart, and conflicts began

It becomes irreconcilable.

At this time, it is no longer possible to imagine Bosque's comfort.

Therefore, Gao Shen followed Capello's example. Since they were irreconcilable, he immediately took ruthless measures, managed the army with an iron fist, supported the declining local gang, suppressed the powerful Brazilian gang, and re-found a balance for the locker room.

It's like crossing a wet and slippery single-plank bridge. If you cross it, you will of course be on a broad road. If you can't cross it, you will fall into an abyss.

Wealth can be found in danger, the world is fair.

After returning to the rental house from Carlo's house, Gao Shen made a cup of instant noodles and began to study the first-team players again.

In the next few days, he will talk to them one by one, and at the same time, he will also seize the time to adapt the team's tactics.

Judging from the reactions of the yellow vest players, they all think this tactic is good.

Those who can play in Real Madrid are all experienced and experienced stars. They will know if they have good tactics as soon as they try it. But sometimes, the head coach's tactics will affect their performance, so they will

be opposed to.

Just like now, if you ask Ronaldo and Carlos, they will definitely scold Gao Shen's new tactics. Why?

Not to mention that Gao Shen exiled them to guard the water fountain, even if they were allowed to play, it would be difficult for them to complete these tasks because it is inconsistent with their playing habits.

Tactics are never absolutely good or bad, only appropriate or inappropriate.

After eating, Gao Shen entered the tactical library again.

After the afternoon practice, he realized that the collection of books in the library was really a treasure and it was of great help to him.

Combining the problems reflected in the afternoon team competition, Gao Shen was able to find answers and targeted solution strategies in Benitez's book, because what he encountered now was what Benitez also encountered back then.

Yes, some of them have happened several times.

On the one hand, Gao Shen combines practice with research and improvement of training methods, hoping to run in the team as soon as possible. On the other hand, he continues to read Benitez's collection of books, hoping to continue to understand Benitez's tactical concepts and ideas, especially his

Targeted troop formation and on-the-spot command.

This is also a major weakness of his now, but it is precisely Benitez's advantage.

Benitez once said that if you give him eleven robots, he can win all the games.

This shows his confidence in his tactical attainments.

Gao Shen never imagined that while he was studying in the library, Madrid, which has been bustling with activity recently, would explode again!
