From coaching Real Madrid

The weekend is about to usher in the national derby, and Gao Shen once again made the decision to cancel the holiday.

Not only this week, but also after playing Barcelona next week, the team will not have a holiday because they have to prepare for Juventus.

It's strange to say that Real Madrid's stars used to hate this kind of "overtime" the most, but now they don't have a single complaint. Everyone just nodded in agreement after hearing Maqueda's notice, and no one raised it.

objection.

Is this domesticated?

Having played for Real Madrid for many years, Carlos understands the team and his teammates. He feels that it is not domestication, but that everyone is pursuing a goal.

champion!

This is not an easy task for any team, even during the heyday of the Galaxy Battleship.

But it is especially difficult for Real Madrid now.

Precisely because of this, because they have not won even a championship in the past three years, everyone at Real Madrid is full of desire for the championship, especially Zidane, who is about to retire, and has not won a championship since joining Real Madrid.

of Beckham.

The holiday was cancelled, and the players stayed in Valdebebas for a lunch break.

Brazilian players have their own place, which is a renovated indoor football field.

Ever since Real Madrid moved into Valdebebas, Brazilian players have "occupied" this place.

I still remember that when the atmosphere in the locker room was the most harmonious, local players such as Raul often came here to play indoor football games with Brazilian players, and Zidane and Beckham also participated.

But gradually, I don’t know when, Raul and others stopped coming, and Zidane, Beckham and others also came less and less.

This is still the territory of Brazilian players, but there are only a few of them left.

…

Ronaldo came from the direction of the coach's office, causing all the Brazilian players who had been waiting here to stand up.

"How is it?" Robinho asked eagerly.

They all know that Ronaldo is going to talk to the head coach, and they are all waiting for the result.

If they could regain the opportunity to participate in the competition by bowing their heads and being submissive, then they wouldn't mind.

Because the World Cup is coming!

Robinho, Baptista and Cicinho are all participating in the World Cup for the first time. Brazil national team coach Pereira has said in the media more than once that Brazilian players must participate in more games to maintain their competitiveness.

own status.

They are different from Carlos.

There are not many left-footed players in the Brazilian national team, and Carlos is the obvious choice.

Until now, the media has begun to pay attention to Real Madrid's Felipe Luis, but it is still early to challenge Carlos' position.

But they are all marginal national players and can be replaced at any time and at any time.

Ronaldo and Gao Shen talked for a full hour, talked a lot, and were very candid with each other, but he did not get the results he expected.

The alien talked briefly and roughly about his conversation with Gao Shen, but he did not intend to tell his teammates many detailed things because he could not say many things in front of these people.

For example, he promised Gao Shen that what Raul, Zidane and Beckham can do, he can also do.

At least, he will try his best to do it.

In fact, this was lowering his attitude very low, and it was impossible for him to say these words in front of Carlos and others. He believed that Gao Shen was not a talkative person and would not say it in front of outsiders.

"Then what did he say in the end?" Baptista asked with concern.

The other three people, including Carlos, all looked at Ronaldo.

"He said, let me train well and he will consider it."

After hearing this, Baptista and others were all disappointed.

Ronaldo has already taken the initiative to come to your door, but Gao Shen still refuses to give an accurate answer?

"I think he never thought of giving us a chance from the beginning to the end. He is only thinking about those guys in Spain. That's what he cares about most. He is just perfunctory with you now." Carlos was angry again.

.

Almost every time he mentioned something profound, he would get angry and get angry.

Even when Ronaldo took the initiative to interview Gao Shen this time, he strongly opposed it.

Everyone also understands that because Carlos' position in the national team is relatively solid. In addition, he has repeatedly criticized Gao Shen in the media and once told Gao Shen to get out in person. It can be said that he and Gao Shen have the deepest grudge.

But Gao Shen's reply was indeed a bit perfunctory.

"Ronnie, don't believe him. Just do what I said and invite a few media outlets and we will appear together. I don't believe that he can really continue to ignore our existence." Carlos said fiercely.

As soon as the Brazilian left back finished speaking, he found that Ronnie was not tempted. Looking around, Robinho, Baptista and Cicinho were also not very enthusiastic, which made him a little annoyed.

"Do you still believe in him until now?"

No one answered Carlos.

Whether they want it or not, Gao Shen will be Real Madrid's head coach until the end of this season.

From the fact that he led the team to reverse Arsenal, from the fact that he led Real Madrid to shorten the points gap with Barcelona, ​​these are enough for him to stay until the end of this season, and even leave with dignity.

If they still want to play, they can only turn to Gao Shen for help.

Pressure?

If it worked, would they still be sitting on the bench now?

Gao Shen would rather use the young players from the second team and play the ugliest football than give them even one minute of playing time. How determined is this?

"I believe in him!" Ronaldo said suddenly.

Everyone was stunned for a while.

Ronaldo looked directly at his teammates in the club and national team, with determination in his eyes, as if he had just made a major decision and made an important determination.

"It's a gamble. If I can fight for dignity, it's worth it. If I can fight for a league championship or a Champions League, then I will make a lot of money." Ronaldo said at the end, showing a smile.

After making the decision, he felt relaxed.

In the past month, or even in the past few years, the big stone that weighed on his heart seemed to have become much lighter.

Gao Shen is right, times have changed!

Greece can win the European Cup, Porto can win the Champions League, and the Champions League final can come back from a 0-3 deficit. In the past two or three years, too many magical and incredible things have happened.

The entire football world has undergone tremendous changes.

But he, Ronaldo, is old!

Although he is only twenty-nine years old, he is really old.

He wants nothing more now, he just wants a Champions League!

…………

…………

Gao Shen himself felt that his reply to Ronaldo was a bit perfunctory.

But he couldn't help it.

He told Ronaldo very bluntly that he could not lie or promise things that he could not do or had not yet decided.

Therefore, he asked Ronaldo to concentrate on training and he would consider and arrange it.

First, he needs to talk to Raul, Guti, Ramos and others.

These players are now the core fighting force of Real Madrid and were supported by Gao Shen. However, they have prejudices against Brazilian players and Ronaldo. Gao Shen needs time to communicate.

If things really come to a point where you have to choose one of the two, then Gao Shen actually has no choice.

Of course, if the local gang really does this, Gao Shen won't be polite anymore.

Since he can support the local gang, he can also suppress them.

Of course, this is a forced situation.

Secondly, Gao Shen also needs to consider how to use Ronaldo.

The Brazilian's situation is there. His current strengths and weaknesses are quite extreme. Even if he is willing to run and apply pressure, how long can his physical fitness last? After running so much, can he still score goals?

Can it still create a threat?

How to use it well is also a question.

Finally, Gao Shen also considered the chain reaction.

Once Ronaldo appears, the Brazilian team will definitely have to be re-employed. This will greatly improve the overall strength of the team, but the communication and coordination within the locker room will also become very complicated.

Cicinho and Arbeloa, Baptista and Zidane, Guti, Robinho and Raul, Cassano and Callejon, and some young players from the second team.

They are all problems.

This is what Carlo said is Real Madrid's most difficult crisis now.

…………

…………

The afternoon training session was still focused on recovery and adjustment, and Buenaventura was still in charge.

Gao Shen continued to play the role of a bystander, but before the training was about to end, Lucas sent him a piece of news that a scout had just sent from Barcelona.

Puyol participates in joint training, and there is a high probability that he will play.

This is actually not surprising. Gao Shen has always suspected that Rijkaard hid Puyol when he played against Benfica in order to let him recharge his batteries and face Real Madrid in the El Clasico.

However, if Puyol really wants to start, it will also be a big challenge for Real Madrid.

Barcelona's tactics are to control the ball, press as a whole, and press in the midfield and frontcourt. Although the intensity is not as outrageous as Guardiola's dream third team, it always results in a large number of gaps behind them.

Puyol is not tall, but he is very fast and has strong tracking ability, which makes his role in Barcelona's defense very obvious.

Just like Gao Shen has been emphasizing that Ramos' mobility is indispensable for Real Madrid's defense, Puyol is also the same.

Playing Barcelona away from home, Gao Shen actually didn't dare to press him.

The reason is very simple. If you press out, before Real Madrid can break through Barcelona's goal, their own goal will be sieved by Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Giuly and Larsson, Deco and Iniesta.

His passing ability is not false.

This is just like when Mourinho first took charge of Real Madrid, he visited Camp Nou and was beaten 0-5. In the final analysis, Mourinho wanted to go head-to-head with Barcelona.

If you don't have enough strength, you are seeking death by fighting against Barcelona.

Mourinho suffered a tragic death in his El Clasico debut, but later became pragmatic and adopted defensive counterattack tactics, which improved his results against Barcelona.

Gao Shen is in the same situation now.

Regardless of the fact that the defenses of Real Madrid and Barcelona are similar, even in recent times, Real Madrid's defense is a little better than Barcelona, ​​but the team's midfield and frontcourt are not as strong as Barcelona's, and it is their territory.

Under such circumstances, only a fool would go head-to-head with Barcelona.

Gao Shen is not a fool and refuses to be one.

After reading the scout's report, he stayed at the training ground. It was not until the team's training was over and everyone was about to return to the locker room that he called out to Raul.
