From coaching Real Madrid

In fact, Gao Shen is a fan of Ronaldo, and he is a very die-hard one.

Given his age, it is not an exaggeration to say that he grew up watching Ronaldo play football.

But sometimes, things in the world are so interesting.

Who would have thought that he would accidentally travel through time and become Ronaldo's head coach?

What's even more outrageous is that after becoming the head coach of Real Madrid, instead of taking advantage of the fans and making good use of Ronaldo, he directly suppressed him and hid him. So far, a month has passed, and he has not been included in the squad even once.

While pouring water in front of the water dispenser, Gao Shen thought to himself that he felt a little ashamed of his status as a Ronaldo fan.

At least, he was embarrassed to mention it.

…

The hardware and software facilities in Real Madrid's head coach's office are excellent.

The decoration is very high-end. The sofas, desks, etc. all look like high-end goods. Even the computer looks high-end. You can definitely open the largest database when playing Football Manager without any stress.

Gao Shen had many thoughts running through his mind, some of which even he himself found funny.

After pouring the water, he turned around and walked back to the sofa. He found Ronaldo sitting opposite him, with his hands in front of him and his fingers intertwined. He looked a little nervous, or in other words, a little uneasy.

Gao Shen was a little confused, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood.

What kind of character is Ronaldo?

Many people have an impression of him as a simple and cheerful person who shows his iconic bunny teeth when he smiles and enjoys football.

That's certainly true, but it's just that part of Ronaldo on the football field.

To put it more strictly, it is the part after getting high on the football field.

Ordinary people cannot imagine what Ronaldo has gone through in his entire career. For many people, every serious injury he has suffered is unimaginable and even impossible to overcome in his lifetime.

But he stepped through it, and every time he performed the return of the king.

Football has given him a lot, but he has also lost a lot.

Ever since he was a child, he has been a proud man of heaven, a genius recognized all over the world, and is loved and cared for by everyone. Therefore, he is very willful and needs to be coaxed, cared for and accommodated by others.

He once stood at the top of world football. He is the current king who is compared with Pele and Maradona, but he is so fragile. From the eve of the World Cup finals in France to after joining Inter Milan

Several serious injuries caused him to fall rapidly from his peak.

Many people think that the World Cup in Korea and Japan helped him reach the pinnacle of his football career, which is true, but his career was bleak. All his honors were obtained with the support of the Brazilian national team.

When he joined Real Madrid, he wanted to prove himself. But who would have thought that after winning a league championship, Real Madrid's superstar strategy would fall into a bottomless abyss, with various problems emerging one after another, and all development would be far inferior.

his expectations.

At first, the outside world began to doubt him more and more. Gradually, his teammates began to question him. In the end, even he himself began to doubt himself. Was he not as strong as he thought?

so good?

The more he tries to prove himself, the worse things get.

Finally, he begins to become sensitive, complex, and anxious.

His willfulness prevented him from cooperating with strong coaches like Cooper and Luxenberg; his sensitivity and anxiety made him doubt himself and became less confident; his age and injuries made his body continue to decline...

…

All of this came together to become the Ronaldo we are today.

…

The office door is closed.

There were only two people inside.

What Gao Shen saw was an anxious Ronaldo who lacked confidence.

He has never been like Carlos. Even if he sometimes says something in the media, it is actually more like a way of protecting himself, a helpless struggle against reality, or an escape.

For example, he indulges in nightclubs and women. Isn't this similar to some students who don't like class and like to indulge in computers and online games?

Gao Shen was really surprised. He thought many times about what it would be like when he met Ronaldo and how he should talk about it. He thought about Ronaldo being proud and willful, and also thought about Ronaldo threatening and intimidating him, but he never thought about it.

Ronaldo would show such vulnerability in front of him.

He is a genius!

But genius is always fragile!

Gao Shen gently placed the water glass in front of Ronaldo and sat down next to him. He sighed in his heart when he saw Ronaldo lowering his head and seemed to have no intention of speaking, or in other words, he didn't know what to say.

"Actually, I have wanted to have a good talk with you for a long time, but I have never been able to find a suitable opportunity." Gao Shen opened the topic.

This is a bit perfunctory.

Ronaldo raised his head and glanced at Gao Shen, "Really?"

Gao Shen nodded, "I have always believed that you should be the most important person in the team."

Ronaldo looked at Gao Shen silently, and probably couldn't tell whether Gao Shen's words were true or false.

Because since Gao Shen took office until now, he has never been in the big list.

"You know, football is a team game composed of eleven people. If we want to win a game, many times we do not select the best and most important eleven, but the most suitable ten.

One person, through tactics and overall collaboration, maximizes overall strength, can you understand what I mean?"

Ronaldo understands that proficiency means that the strongest and most important does not mean the most suitable.

"Have you watched all the games since I took over?" Gao Shen suddenly asked.

Ronaldo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Everyone comes to the home game, and everyone from the away game watches the live broadcast."

"How do you feel?" Gao Shen asked again with a smile.

"The overall situation is stronger than before."

"Have you ever wondered why?"

Ronaldo nodded silently, but said nothing.

He thought about it, that's why he was sitting here.

"Actually, I feel that the team's strength has not been fully unleashed, and we still have considerable potential that has not been realized, such as you, such as Carlos, such as Robinho, Baptista and Cicinho.

, you are all very outstanding players, you all have strong personal abilities and can provide huge help to the team."

Gao Shen changed the topic, "Maybe you think what I said is a bit false, but think about it, if you were in Turin yesterday, when Juventus pressed hard and attacked crazily, you were on our front line, you said

,How dare Capello do this?"

"If at Highbury Stadium, we suppressed Arsenal at the beginning and Robinho was able to come on and use his dribbling and breakthrough advantages, you would say that it would have caused a lot of damage to Arsenal's defense.

How much of a threat?”

Ronaldo stared at Gao Shen, and he suddenly understood that Gao Shen didn't understand them or didn't understand them, but he didn't use them.

He has also thought about these issues himself, that is, if he is allowed to start in place of Negredo, he may be able to seize some opportunities and score some goals, but he will never be able to run and press in a wide range like Negredo.

, and it is impossible to engage in so many physical confrontations with the opponent's central defender and consume the opponent's physical energy.

The same is true for Robinho. He cannot, like Raul and Beckham, actively retreat to the front of his own penalty area when defending, and actively participate in counterattacks when the ball is lost. This is not the style of Brazilian players.

But this is what Gao Shen wants.

In other words, this is the new trend in European football in the past two or three years.

Even in Barcelona, ​​which is known as the strongest in Europe, in addition to Ronaldinho, Eto'o, genius Messi, Giuly, Deco, Xavi, Iniesta... Which of these players is not providing a lot of

Run coverage and pressing pressure?

Real Madrid's superstars are all old.

In the past, they all wanted to rest on their laurels, play football leisurely, earn high annual salaries, and win championships by the way, but now, this kind of good life no longer exists.

Zidane, Raul, Beckham, these superstars are fighting hard in every game, and Ronaldo can see it.

…

Gao Shen didn't say anything more, but silently waited for Ronaldo to take the initiative to say something again.

He has made his attitude clear, and I believe Ronaldo will understand what he means.

The key is, is Ronaldo willing?

There was silence in the office for nearly two minutes before Ronaldo raised his head again, looked directly at Gao Shen, and asked: "Do you think we can win the championship? La Liga or the Champions League, either."

Gao Shen sighed, shook his head and smiled, "Who knows?"

After a pause, he added: "In La Liga, we were ten points behind Barcelona, ​​but now, we have caught up with only five points left. If we can defeat our opponents at Camp Nou, then we can reduce it to two points.

, But you know how difficult it is, if we lose, we will be eight points behind."

"There is also the Champions League. Our opponent is Juventus, one of the strongest, most balanced and most comprehensive teams in European football. Capello is also one of the best managers in the world. You said, facing such a ball

Team, who dares to say that we will definitely win?"

"The quarter-finals are so difficult. What about entering the semi-finals? What about entering the finals?"

The Champions League has never been simple and easy.

Every step taken is a huge test for the overall strength of the team and for everyone on the team.

Even if they draw 0-0 with Juventus in the away game, will Real Madrid definitely win when they return to the Bernabeu?

Gao Shen has indeed captured a fatal loophole in Juventus, but the question is, will Real Madrid be able to take advantage of it? Even if they take advantage of it, will they definitely be able to score goals?

Don’t forget, Juventus also has the greatest super goalkeeper in the history of world football, Buffon!

There is never the word "absolute" in a football field.

"Ronnie." Gao Shen saw Ronaldo fell into silence again, and he decided to break the silence.

"As your fan, I am very much looking forward to seeing your performance on the court. As the team's head coach, I can also tell you with certainty that Real Madrid needs you, but..."

Gao Shen suddenly changed the topic, his eyes were fixed on Ronaldo, and his tone became extremely determined.

"Real Madrid needs more cohesion, more unity, more wholeness!"
