From coaching Real Madrid

December 4, Dragon Stadium in Porto, Portugal.

In the final round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid challenged Porto away.

When the game reached the 12th minute, Real Madrid was attacking from the right in the frontcourt. Di Maria and Modric tried to break through on the right rib but failed and were forced to pass the ball back to Carvajal.

The young player who has been the main force in the game recently stopped the ball, and after observing the situation on the court, he made a cross pass with his right foot and sent the ball to the space on the right side of the center circle.

Ramos moved forward and pushed the bounced pass to Kaká who retreated to receive the ball.

The Brazilian superstar retreated deep and was reminded by Ramos when he stopped the ball, knowing that his surroundings were safe.

Kaká calmly stopped the ball and turned around. He glanced ahead first and gestured to dribble the ball to the right. Modric and Di Maria also raised their hands to ask for the ball. This suddenly made Porto's defense tense again.

.

From the opening moment, Real Madrid's attack from the right was fierce.

In the Champions League group stage, Porto, which has no desires and desires and is destined to be at the bottom, still focuses on active oppression.

After all, it is their home court, and Porto does not want to play too ugly.

Just as Gao Shen told the Real Madrid players before the game, although Porto has no desires and desires, this is a home game and they will still resist, but as long as they score a goal, their will to resist will be greatly weakened.

When falling behind, they either have to come out and challenge Real Madrid and play a wonderful offensive battle to please the fans; or they simply become depressed and allow the game to be dominated by Real Madrid.

Therefore, Real Madrid players also fought very hard after the game started.

Kaka rarely made a start, and his performance was particularly impressive.

When passing the ball to the right, seeing that Porto's defense was facing a formidable enemy, Kaka suddenly kicked an overhead kick easily and freely with the inside of his foot, but instead of looking for his teammate on the right, he went straight

It fell to the left side of the penalty area in front.

Kaka's pass was very sudden, but the ball was very fast and very beautiful.

At almost the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo got rid of the Argentine defender Otamendi who was marking him at extremely high speed, and successfully broke into Porto's penalty area in response to offside.

Kaka's pass landed just in front of Ronaldo, and the attacking goalkeeper Helton also rushed in front of him. At the critical moment, the Portuguese took a shot and passed the ball over the goalkeeper, avoiding Helton himself.

After that, he quickly caught up and easily pushed the shot from the outside of the small penalty area and succeeded in the empty goal.

One to zero!

Amid the exclamations of Porto fans, Cristiano Ronaldo rushed out of the stadium excitedly and celebrated his goal in front of his hometown folks.

…

Gao Shen couldn't help but applaud this wonderful goal.

This ball is crucial!

Really beautiful.

"Kaká played very much like a midfield passer tonight." Gao Shen was very happy to see Kaká's transformation.

Zidane and Hierro both nodded. They have both played midfield, so they know what Gao Shen means.

In fact, tonight, Kaka rarely rushed forward, but more often stayed behind to deliver shells to his teammates.

As a former top star, Kaka's speed and explosive power are gone, but his consciousness and footwork are still there.

Just like that pass just now, it was really exciting.

It was obvious that he was going to the right side, so he kicked it easily and freely. The ball was very fast, the arc was very low, and the landing point was extremely accurate.

Benzema didn't even react, but Ronaldo intervened in time.

This is the connection between two superstars.

"The defense is still a bit poor." Hierro felt a little regretful.

If Kaká's current passing and organizational skills were to allow him to play in the midfield, it would be somewhat reluctant to replace Toni Kroos and Modric, but as a rotation and substitute, there would be absolutely no problem.

The key is that Kaka's body is too fragile and his defensive ability is not strong, which makes his position in the Real Madrid team awkward.

Central midfielders such as Toni Kroos, Modric, and Verratti all require good defensive abilities, but Kaká is too weak in this area, which leads to Real Madrid having to increase defense in the midfield.

Strength.

Just like tonight, in fact, Modric did not participate too much in the frontcourt attack. Carvajal was also asked to reduce his forward penetration because Gao Shen played Kaká in the midfield. Modric and Xavi

Alonso's combination.

Toni Kroos spent a lot of time in the game, and Gao Shen gave him a rest in this game.

The reason why Kaka is on the list is because of his calmness and rationality at critical moments, as well as his experience in competitions.

As a superstar who has seen big scenes, Kaka can still play a role at critical moments.

Being advanced is actually quite difficult.

If Kaka were a few years younger or his defensive ability was better, Gao Shen would definitely reuse him.

If his annual salary was not so high, then Gao Shen would definitely keep him, even if it was just as a substitute?

But the problem is so embarrassing.

He is not young, has insufficient defensive ability, and his annual salary is so high. What can Gao Shen do?

Although Gao Shen, Kaka and the Real Madrid management didn't say anything, everyone actually knew what was going on.

This should be Kaka's last season at Real Madrid.

Gao Shen can understand Kaka's mood at this moment. He doesn't want to leave Real Madrid with regrets and the shame of not qualifying for the group.

As a former top star, this is unacceptable to him no matter what.

Even if he has to leave, he still wants to win a championship!

…

Before the start of the game, Gao Shen specifically told Carlos Vargas and the rest of the team that no one was allowed to discuss the results of another game until the end of the game.

That is the result of Dortmund's home game against Manchester City.

The purpose of this is to create a better playing environment for the players.

At least, you don't have to worry about whether the group can qualify.

As Gao Shen said before the game, try your best to defeat Porto and score as many goals as possible.

As for whether to continue with the Champions League or play in the Europa League...

"We all admit it!"

"I swear here, even if we play in the Europa League, I will definitely lead you to win the championship!"

"Then next season, I will baptize the Champions League and wash away the shame!"

The players were deeply inspired by his profound rhetoric.

Even if they really can only play in the Europa League, then they will admit it.

Who made themselves unlucky?

Who makes themselves inferior to Manchester City?

…

Just three minutes after Ronaldo scored, Real Madrid launched another wave of attacks.

This time, after Porto reached the Real Madrid half, when James Rodriguez tried to advance with the ball, Modric suddenly fell to the ground and tackled the ball directly.

After the Croatian midfielder got up from the ground, he directly dribbled the ball forward, glanced ahead, and sent a diagonal pass to the right side behind Porto's defense.

Benzema crossed the right side, stopped the ball before anyone else, and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Facing the defensive center back and goalkeeper, Benzema made a cross pass and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty spot.

Cristiano Ronaldo rushed over and succeeded with an easy push shot, 2-0!

After taking a two-goal lead, Real Madrid continued to attack unabated.

Porto also started to get tough.

As Gao Shen expected, Porto, playing at home, started to counterattack after Real Madrid scored two goals in a short period of time, even ignoring the defense behind them.

This is basically in line with the mentality of the home team.

You’ve already reached this point, are you still conservative?

Rather than being scolded by the fans after the game, it would be better to just go all out and put up a wonderful showdown.

With this in mind, Porto began to launch attacks frequently.

In the 31st minute, the Real Madrid midfielder stole the ball again.

After Xavi Alonso stole the ball, he completed a one-two with Kaka, who was holding the back, and then passed it to Modric. The latter turned around with the ball and got rid of Fernando's entanglement, and then sent a pass from behind.

Top pass.

Di Maria quickly crossed into the right side of the penalty area, stopped the ball with his foot, and easily pushed into the far corner, breaking Porto's goal again.

Three to zero!

Real Madrid's quick counterattack was impressive, especially the continuous cooperation in the midfield.

During the halftime break, Gao Shen affirmed the team's performance in the first half, but also encouraged the players to keep up their efforts.

Especially for Kaka.

Gao Shen thought Kaka was a little too conservative in the first half.

"We are already leading 3-0, Kaka, let go of your arms and enjoy your game. Just treat it like a show."

Kaká was deeply moved by the profound encouragement, and other Real Madrid players also encouraged Kaká.

In particular, Ronaldo, Benzema and Di Maria encouraged Kakado to move forward and participate more in the attack.

"Don't worry, we are behind you." Modric said with a smile.

Before leaving for the second half, when Gao Shen hugged each player to see him off as usual, Kaka hugged Gao Shen forcefully and said "Thank you, boss!" in his ear.

"Use your goal!" Gao Shen encouraged.

No one expected that just three minutes into the second half, Real Madrid had a goal kick opportunity that quickly reached the frontcourt, but was headed back by Porto midfielder Fernando.

After Ramos stole the ball, he handed the ball to Xabi Alonso and then passed it to Ronaldo who was retreating in front.

Ronaldo stopped the ball, turned inside, and passed the ball to Kaká.

I saw Kaka adjusted when he stopped the ball, and then used his signature dribbling rhythm and pace, but the speed was obviously much slower than before, but Fernando, who was guarding him, still had difficulty stealing the ball.

After Kaka blocked Fernando with his body, he dribbled the ball to the top of the penalty area, suddenly fired a cold arrow, and hit a long shot.

The entire shooting action is very graceful, clean and neat, giving people a strange sense of beauty, but the ball speed is extremely fast, just like the pass just passed in the opening game.

The football was like an arrow piercing the clouds, tearing apart Porto's defense at a very fast speed and getting into the goal guarded by Helton.

"Wow!!!!"

"A great shot!"

"Kaka scored a goal!!!!"

"The Brazilian used a sudden long shot to penetrate Porto's goal, 4-0!"

"My God, what a beautiful shot!"

After Kaka scored, he ran out of the stadium excitedly.

Cristiano Ronaldo and other teammates also chased after him and celebrated his goal with him.

The Brazilian hugged every teammate. When he returned to the court, he ran to the visiting team's coaching bench and hugged head coach Gao Shen to thank him for his encouragement.

At this time, Gao Shen was still a little confused.

This is a superstar!

It really shines with some sunshine!
