From coaching Real Madrid

785 The Eve of the Turmoil

Mourinho is gone.

After drinking a bottle of wine, he casually walked away with the remaining two bottles.

According to him, this is a fine wine that Ferguson has collected. It doesn’t taste great, but it is worth collecting.

Gao Shen was still sitting in the office, staring blankly at Mourinho closing the door and leaving, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Of course it wasn't because of what Mourinho said.

In his previous life, he had been in the workplace for many years, especially in large companies. If he could be influenced by others so easily, then his temperament would be in vain.

He is still thinking more about his future.

Because he has a very strong feeling that Leeds United's promotion to the Premier League this season is a high probability event.

Various measures taken by Sarri to coach Leeds United are all influenced by Gao Shen, including the team lineup built for him by Gao Shen, and even the use of many players and tactical positioning were all suggestions given by Gao Shen.

The Italians themselves have definitely done a lot of work, but their profound influence is also important.

This has led to Leeds United's run-in going very smoothly this season, and even Gao Shen himself was a little surprised.

As Carlo teased him, "You must have overestimated the difficulty of the English Championship before!"

Maybe.

Gao Shen feels that he really takes it very seriously, because after being promoted to the Premier League, it will almost represent tens of millions, or even nearly 100 million pounds in income.

Or, to put it another way, this is a business worth hundreds of millions.

Shareholders of listed companies are willing to fight to the death or even buy various relationships for a hundred million, and this is several hundred million.

Gao Shen really didn't expect that it would go so smoothly.

Of course, this is also the advantage he has over time travelers and world-famous coaches.

For example, the players he introduced and the team he formed would be impossible for any other team to achieve in just a few months, but Gao Shen did it.

At the beginning of the season, he really felt that Leeds United's probability of promotion was 50-50, but now, he feels that it is at least 70-30.

Because Leeds United is the only team in the English Championship so far to have won six consecutive games.

More importantly, the offensive football played by Sarri and his team, as well as the attack power and dominance shown on the court, really don't look like a British Championship team.

So much so that Gao Shen felt like he was overplaying his hand.

Of course, it's still early to say this, the season is long and everything is still uncertain.

But what Mourinho said just now made Gao Shen suddenly realize that he should think about it in advance. What should he do if Leeds United is promoted to the Premier League?

Sell ​​it and make a lot of money?

This is obviously not a sophisticated style, and he would not take advantage of others like this.

Doesn’t this mean you are marrying someone else?

But the Premier League will definitely not let Gao Shen continue to have both sides at Manchester City and Leeds United.

If nothing else, Ferguson, Wenger, Redknapp and Benitez will definitely not let Gao Shen stay.

They had long been eager for Gao Shen to leave immediately.

Gao Shen is really grateful to Mansour and Mubarak.

He needs to think carefully and find a way that can be explained to both Manchester City and himself.

Real Madrid lost to Manchester City 0-2 away from home.

The results are better than last season, but the process is the same.

After the game, the Spanish media were all blaming and criticizing Munio for his conservatism and his decision to ban Casillas.

The former led to Real Madrid not having a decent offense throughout the game, while the latter led to Antonio Adan's fatal mistake.

Even AS, known as the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, came out to appeal this time, hoping that the Real Madrid management can stop Mourinho and appease the locker room as soon as possible.

Editor-in-Chief Alfredo wrote in his column: "Real Madrid is on the eve of turmoil!"

This was by no means unreasonable, because in the post-match press conference, Mourinho pointed the finger at the players, thinking that some players did not give their best in the game, but he did not name them.

Although the stars in the locker room did not say anything to the outside world, according to the information obtained by the media, Real Madrid players reacted very strongly to this. Even Cristiano Ronaldo found Mourinho's remarks unacceptable.

"The Portuguese feels aggrieved that he has retreated to his own half or even outside the penalty area many times. How can he still try his best? He believes that the coach's remarks are very unfair to him."

As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, AS has many channels to get feedback from Real Madrid's locker room. If even AS reports that Real Madrid's locker room has strong opinions, then something is really wrong.

And things seem to be developing in this direction.

Two days after returning to Madrid from Manchester, Mourinho led the team to an away game against Levante.

This was the fourth round of La Liga. As a result, Real Madrid lost to Levante 0-1 in the away game.

Real Madrid performed very negatively throughout the game and the team's morale was low.

This is tantamount to further confirming outside speculation.

After losing to Levante, the Spanish media further criticized Mourinho, but the Portuguese madman was also very stubborn and he reiterated that the team had no problems.

Casillas banned?

No, no, no, he is injured.

What was the injury? How long did it take?

Sorry, this is a team secret, no comment.

But this once again caused an uproar.

When Mourinho was criticized in Spain, Gao Shen also encountered a small setback.

After playing for Real Madrid, Gao Shen went south to London to challenge Fulham away from home.

Since Javi Martinez was slightly injured and Fernandinho and Yaya Toure played the entire game against Real Madrid, Gao Shen took a small risk in the away game.

He lined up a combination of David Silva, Henderson and De Bruyne in the midfield, with Henderson responsible for holding deep.

This is definitely a very adventurous adventure.

But facts also proved that after adopting this style of play, Manchester City launched a wave of offensive attacks from the beginning of the first half.

Especially the attack in the frontcourt really made Fulham quite embarrassed.

In the first six minutes, Robin van Persie scored Fulham's goal, but the shot was ruled offside by the linesman.

Just two minutes later, after receiving a long pass from Jerome Boateng, Hazard dribbled the ball inside the penalty area, attracting the attention of the defense, and then knocked back to David Silva, who followed up to the left.

He pushed with his foot and hit the post.

Then the thirteenth, the fourteenth, the fifteenth...

Manchester City's offense is getting better and better.

Finally, in the 16th minute, De Bruyne made a diagonal pass from the outside. Hazard kept knocking the ball across from the left side of the penalty spot. Van Persie volleyed past Fulham's goal.

After taking the lead, Manchester City not only did not give up, but launched a more violent attack, forcing Fulham's goalkeeper Schwarzer to make wonderful saves repeatedly, and Fulham had to retreat across the board.

The famous Dutch coach Martin Jol adopted a 4-5 formation, retreating to defend inside and outside the penalty area, and then barely stabilized his position.

But as soon as the whistle sounded in the second half, Manchester City took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Fulham.

After Leighton Baines dribbled the ball from the left and forced a breakthrough, he sent a long diagonal pass. Van Persie quickly moved forward, got ahead of everyone, and lightly headed the ball to Robinho on the right.

The attacker followed up and shot easily.

Two to zero!

At this time, only seven seconds had passed in the second half.

Manchester City continued to bombard Fulham indiscriminately and created opportunities continuously, but Fulham also defended extremely tenaciously.

But just after 65 minutes passed, Fulham began to attack Manchester City in a targeted manner.

Especially Moussa Dembele.

The Belgian midfielder started out as a winger and later played as a striker, but now he is roaming behind striker Zamora.

When Gao Shen was coaching Naples, he once wanted to bring him from AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie to Naples to make up for the regret of not being able to bring in Modric, but in the end he failed.

It was this Belgian player whose long shot in the 71st minute forced Neuer to make a diving save, and also started Fulham's counterattack against Manchester City.

In the 75th minute, Dembele dribbled the ball past Henderson and passed it straight into the penalty area. Zamora took the ball with his back and was unable to turn around. He knocked back and midfielder Murphy stepped in and fired a furious shot.

The ball hit Kompany's leg and deflected into the Manchester City goal.

Neuer had nothing to do with conceding such a goal.

One to two.

Two minutes later, Manchester City launched the offensive again, with Robinho assisting and Robinho getting a one-on-one chance. However, the angle of the shot was too small and was confiscated by goalkeeper Schwarzer.

Fulham created a very exciting goal in the 81st minute.

Dembele and Dempsey passed the ball continuously outside the penalty area. Dempsey passed the ball into the penalty area. After stopping the ball, Zamora turned around and shot furiously, breaking Manchester City's goal again.

Two to two!

After that, no matter how Manchester City attacked, they were never able to break Fulham's goal.

Facing the first draw of the new season, Gao Shen was in a very good mood.

"Our opponents were very efficient tonight. They only had five shots, two of them were on target, and they scored two goals, while we created 32 shots, including one misjudgment and one on the post.

.”

Gao Shen praised De Bruyne by name and believed that De Bruyne will become the best midfielder in the world.

"I have no doubt that he has such potential. More importantly, he is constantly growing and he has to work hard to make himself stronger, especially in terms of physical confrontation and physical fitness."

Gao Shen knew very well that the continuous conceding of goals in the second half was related to the performance of several young players on the team.

But he mainly encourages, especially young players such as De Bruyne, Henderson and Jerome Boateng.

Gao Shen also mentioned Fulham’s Dembele.

"He didn't score goals or assists, but he is Fulham's most important player."

"I've known him since he was at Alkmaar and tonight he was brilliant!"

Manchester City drew with Fulham 2-2, and Manchester United defeated Chelsea 3-1, overtaking Manchester City to top the Premier League standings.

This immediately made Ferguson feel happy.

The five-game winning streak has given the Red Devils a burst of confidence, and Ferguson even threatened to defeat Manchester City and win the Premier League title this season!

But no one expected that as soon as he made his bold words on the front foot, Ferguson would be slapped in the face on the back foot.
