From coaching Real Madrid

"What's the score in Germany?"

When the game at the Dragon Stadium ended, Real Madrid players ran out of the field one after another and asked with concern about the result of another game.

Real Madrid has won Porto, but the key lies in another game.

Carlos Vargas checked the real-time score immediately, but found that the game was not over yet. Manchester City was currently trailing 0-1, which made Real Madrid players very disappointed.

The game is about to end, and at this time, we are still lagging behind.

The call was made directly to Germany, and Real Madrid arranged for scouts to watch the game at the scene.

As a result, we came to the conclusion that the game was about to end and Manchester City was still trying hard, but the odds were against them.

Everyone felt disappointed, and many people sighed.

In fact, it’s not surprising if you think about it. Dortmund and Manchester City are both very strong, so it’s normal for whoever wins to lose.

Gao Shen stood on the outside and watched this scene silently.

Real Madrid have really tried their best.

Being drawn into the same group as Dortmund, Manchester City, and Porto will put a lot of pressure on everyone.

You know, Dortmund is going to reach the Champions League final this season, and Manchester City is the winner of two consecutive Champions League titles. Needless to say, Porto is equally strong.

In such a group of death, Real Madrid has just undergone restructuring, how easy is it to advance?

But just when Gao Shen was about to say a few words to comfort the players, he heard an exclamation coming from the hands-free phone.

The Real Madrid players, who were all relaxed at first, were immediately attracted by the noise.

"What's going on?" Ramos yelled first.

"Man City's counterattack, Gareth Bale is too fast!"

"Another one passed, a cross!"

"Back point, Suarez, volley!"

"The ball went in!

!

"

“Man City! Manchester City scored!

!”

Everyone in Real Madrid at the Portuguese Dragon Stadium was stunned for a moment, and then a burst of ecstasy came over them.

Everyone showed a look of disbelief, and then they saw that Ramos and others had rushed into the stadium excitedly, running all the way to celebrate, venting their inner excitement and excitement.

"One to one! Manchester City tied the score!"

"Borussia Dortmund is on the same level as us now, but we beat Dortmund based on our results!"

"We're qualified!"

Not only the players were celebrating excitedly, but Gao Shen also clenched his fists and really felt like crying.

It’s really not easy!

It’s so difficult!

Before Gao Shen could react, Zidane, Carlo, Hierro and others had already gathered around him, surrounding him.

"Awesome! Made the cut!"

“It’s so thrilling!”

"It's just like a dream!"

Everyone used an exclamatory tone when speaking.

Gao Shen even saw that Carlo's eyes were slightly red, and the Real Madrid players were almost going crazy.

The Porto fans at the scene also received the news, but they felt even worse.

Labor and management can't even play in the Europa League now, but you are celebrating qualifying from the Champions League group stage under our noses?

Excessive!

As a result, there were overwhelming boos from the Dragon Stadium.

Porto fans just want to hate the Real Madrid players one by one.

The staff at the scene also rushed out to maintain order and urged the Royal Horse to leave the field as soon as possible.

If this continues, maybe the fans in the stands will rush down and have a fight.

After finally returning to changing clothes, the players celebrated again.

…

When Gao Shen returned to the locker room, he found that the place was in a mess, which made him shake his head.

Seeing that the players were planning to take matters into their own hands, Gao Shen quickly stopped him and said, "It's okay. I'll let the team take over later. I'll give them a little extra money and let them take care of it."

When Gao Shen said this, the players immediately laughed happily and really stopped trying.

These bastards are all pretentious!

"Let me say a few words."

As soon as Gao Shen finished speaking, the players immediately returned to their seats and sat down, staring at their head coach.

"First of all, I am here to represent myself and the coaching staff. Congratulations, we qualified!"

The players immediately cheered again.

With great difficulty, Gao Shen reached out his hand to signal them all to be quiet.

"I know how everyone is feeling at this moment. It is really not easy for us to qualify this time. We have met the strongest opponents in Europe. I said that Manchester City and Dortmund are both teams with the potential to compete in the Champions League finals."

"We encountered many, many difficulties and very, very big challenges, but we qualified. We showed sufficient strength when facing Dortmund and Manchester City."

"But that's not enough!"

Gao Shen looked directly at the players in front of him and became very serious.

"To be honest, this is the most humiliating season I have ever had as a coach."

"Anyone who is familiar with me knows that I never like to put my destiny in the hands of others. I like to win, I like to seize the initiative, and I like to kill all opponents."

“But this time, we were able to advance thanks to Manchester City, Suarez for the goal, Gareth Bale for the assist, David Luiz for the long pass, Rakitic for the

That defensive tackle..."

"Do you like this?"

The profound rhetorical question caused the locker room to become silent.

Yes, after experiencing the ecstasy of qualifying, everyone has to reflect on everything that has happened since the Champions League group stage.

Real Madrid tried their best, but they really weren't good enough.

Professional football and competitive sports cannot just be done by just saying "try your best!"

When you sit in this position and stand at this height, you have to take on all responsibilities!

Just like Ronaldo, if you don't score, you should be scolded!

What's the matter?

Otherwise, why do you get such a high salary?

Just like Gao Shen, if Real Madrid fails to qualify, he should be scolded or even dismissed from get out of class.

Is there any explanation for this?

No one can be special!

"As a player of Real Madrid, I have nothing to be proud of when we played like this in the group stage. On the contrary, I feel extremely humiliated. As a head coach, I cannot absolve myself from the blame, but I also hope everyone will think about it. As a player,

Did you do a good enough job? Do you deserve the jersey you are wearing?"

After a pause, Gao Shen then said: "I don't want to blame you. On the contrary, I am satisfied with your performance, but what I want to tell you is that qualifying has passed."

"Everything has passed. What we should look forward to now is after qualifying."

"We must learn from the experience and lessons of the group stage. We must clearly see the weaknesses and shortcomings of ourselves and the team. We should think carefully about how to play in the knockout rounds."

In fact, the whole world knows that if Marcelo had not been injured and if Arbeloa had not been injured, Real Madrid would never have suffered such a disastrous defeat in the two rounds against Manchester City.

Only one point was scored in two rounds. This was the key to Real Madrid falling to second place in the group and almost not qualifying.

There are even many media and professionals, including L'Equipe, who have written and analyzed before, believing that Gao Shen's adjustments are very timely, especially the reshaping of the offensive line on the right, which is the key to Real Madrid's ability to defeat Dortmund.

But so what?

Neither Gao Shen nor Real Madrid can be satisfied with this.

It's about looking further into the future.

"As I said before, whether I play in the Champions League or the Europa League, I have only one goal, and that is to win the championship. This is not only mine, but also Real Madrid's."

"Now, we can continue to compete in the Champions League. This is the result of our joint efforts, but I also hope that you can think carefully about how we want to play the second half of the season and how we want to charge on the road to winning the championship."

"Our performance in the group stage was completely inadequate, and in the knockout rounds, we will definitely have a chance to meet Manchester City again. By then, will we have enough strength to defeat this team?"

"I won four Champions League titles!"

Gao Shen pointed out four fingers to the player. He is the person who has won the most Champions Leagues among all the players present.

"What I want to tell you is that you should never take chances on the road to the Champions League, because those who have even the slightest chance of taking chances will not be able to go on."

"Finally, I want to say..."

Gao Shen looked around at the Real Madrid players in front of him and grinned, "Congratulations to you, Real Madrid soldiers, your efforts have been rewarded. I sincerely hope that everyone can hold themselves to higher standards."

"Because from now on, we will fight for the Champions League knockout rounds! Even, fight for the Champions League championship!"

Gao Shen's words made the Real Madrid players become excited.

Who says it’s not?

It has been a long time since Real Madrid broke out of the Champions League group stage. Now that they have broken out, everyone is holding back their energy and exerting all their strength to have a big fight in the Champions League.

If they still hold themselves to the same standards as in the past, how can they compete in the Champions League knockout rounds?

…

When Gao Shen walked out of the locker room, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qualifying this time is really dangerous!

He also really didn't want it to happen again.

However, Real Madrid's players did try their best. If Marcelo and Arbeloa had not been injured, the team would have played more smoothly, but there is no such thing as what-ifs in this world.

What he needs to consider now is the winter break.

How to make good use of the winter break to adjust and improve the team is Gao Shen's top priority.

Thinking of this, Gao Shen walked to the press conference venue.

On the way, I took out my mobile phone and found that there were a lot of message messages.

After clicking on it, it turned out that the players from Manchester City were looking for him to repay him and asked him to treat him to dinner.

This made Gao Shen unable to help laughing.

Okay, no problem, I’ll treat you to dinner later!

Gao Shen didn't reply, he just decided in his heart.

If I have the opportunity, I really have to thank the Manchester City players. If it weren't for them, Real Madrid wouldn't be able to qualify.

I just heard my colleague in Germany describe the scene at that time. To be honest, Gao Shen was really moved.

Professional football is very cruel and realistic. It is normal for people to become emperors and courtiers.

Everyone calls this professionalism!

But like Manchester City, they are not professional enough, but they are really full of warmth.

At least Gao Shen was really moved.

This proves that the time and energy he has spent on this group of players at Manchester City in the past three years have not been in vain.

As the head coach, Gao Shen is very proud!
