The nightmare of the Champions League, that man is here again!
After the focus game at the Parc des Princes, the French newspaper L'Equipe wrote an article with this eye-catching title after the game and sent it to the man who led Real Madrid to a 2-0 away victory over Paris Saint-Germain.
In the article, French newspaper L'Equipe wrote, "The La Liga giants are extremely close to the Champions League final. Real Madrid holds a huge advantage in the second round and will once again reach the Champions League final."
L'Equipe also reminded all readers, "Since reaching the Champions League final for the first time in 2006, Gao Shen has reached the Champions League final a total of four times, winning all four times without missing a beat."
The implication is that the coach who will create the fifth Champions League championship in the history of the Champions League is likely to be born this season.
"It will be an exciting spectacle in the Champions League final."
For Gao Shen's report card, L'Equipe gave a very high evaluation, believing that he created the history of the Champions League, and also created his own brilliant coaching career, and also brought outstanding results to the team he coached.
.
For example, Real Madrid.
Since winning the championship in 2006, Real Madrid has never advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. In the past few years, it has even been difficult to break out of the Champions League group stage. If it were not for the gathering of superstars, Real Madrid would have long lost its aura as a giant.
But this season, Real Madrid, which has become the third-tier team in the Champions League under the guidance of Gao Shen, actually defeated the defending Bundesliga champion Dortmund and the Portuguese Super League champion Porto in the super death group, and joined hands with Manchester City to qualify.
In the knockout stage, the leader of the Premier League, the leader of Serie A, the leader of Ligue 1...
Even they couldn't stop Gao Shen and his Real Madrid from moving forward.
L'Equipe analyzed the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals and believed that there were certain problems with Ancelotti's formation.
The first is that the faster players like Lavezzi, Lucas Moura and Mene were not used.
Facts have proved that after falling behind 2-0, Lavezzi and Lucas Moura were replaced in the final stage of the game. After the team changed to 4-3-3, Paris Saint-Germain played more aggressively and faster.
, the offense is also sharper.
But why did Ancelotti not choose this style of play at the beginning of the game, but adopted a 4,31,2 formation with stronger defensive capabilities? Arranged for Ibrahimovic and Cavani to start at the same time?
L'Equipe believes that this is a very debatable issue.
The French media also listed the quick counterattack that occurred in the 61st minute of the game, believing that the presence of Ibrahimovic seriously hindered the team's offensive rhythm.
"In his career, he has never performed well in the knockout stages of the Champions League."
French newspaper L’Equipe believes that one cannot place high hopes on Ibrahimovic in the knockout stages.
"Even at the Bernabeu, if Paris Saint-Germain still wants to advance and reverse, it must win Yin Bu and adopt a 433 formation. This is the only way out for Paris Saint-Germain."
But in the end, L'Equipe itself admitted that it would take a lot of courage to make such a decision.
As the team's top star, Ibrahimovic has never been a troublemaker.
"Perhaps Ancelotti can really consider selling Ibrahimovic to Real Madrid." L'Equipe said jokingly.
This is a report from a Spanish tabloid.
The content is roughly that Yin Guain will leave Real Madrid, and the Galacticos are looking for suitable center candidates, and Yin Brahimovic is on the list.
The media previously broke the news that during the transfer last summer, Ancelotti and Paris Saint-Germain did not want Yin Brahimovic at all because they already had Cavani and there was no need to ask for Yin Brahimovic.
Brahimovich.
But in order to get Thiago Silva, AC Milan insisted on packing two players from Paris, so Paris finally made a compromise and signed these two stars at the same time.
However, this also brought about the current problem.
How will Yinbu and Cavani adapt to the Champions League?
…
Spanish newspaper Marca also ran the headline after the game: "The madness continues, Real Madrid beat Paris Saint-Germain with two away goals."
This media close to Real Madrid was full of praise for this game. It believed that Real Madrid had every advantage in the game. The sophisticated tactics gave the Galacticos an advantage and also scored two key away goals.
"The goals of Toni Kroos and Ronaldo almost allowed Real Madrid to seize the ticket to London in advance."
But in the final stage of the game, Ancelotti took down Ibrahimovic, and after changing to 433, Paris launched a crazy offensive, which forced Real Madrid to temporarily avoid the edge.
The second leg at the Bernabeu is full of suspense.
"Anyway, after the victory at the Parc des Princes, Real Madrid showed the performance of a top team."

"The great Gao Shen leads his loyal Real Madrid across the English Channel and towards Wembley Stadium in London!"
Marca believes that the 2-0 score in the away game gives Real Madrid a very obvious lead, and they can face the second leg of the match in Madrid with a more relaxed mentality.
"Even at Wembley Stadium, it is very likely that there will be a showdown between Gao Shen and his former club Manchester City!"
Marca believes that in this season's Champions League group stage, Real Madrid failed to take advantage of Manchester City twice, which ultimately led to Real Madrid almost missing the right to qualify for the group stage. Gao Shen himself was also quite depressed.
Now, when the two sides meet in the Champions League final, it is likely to be a classic showdown.
"The contest between two sophisticated teams will make this final full of spectacle."
Aspen editor-in-chief Alfredo also commented immediately in his column after the game, believing that Gao Shen's victory was well-deserved and wrote a new history for Real Madrid.
This authoritative Spanish media person described Real Madrid's victory as "very convincing", and also gave a very high evaluation to Gao Shen's transformation of Real Madrid this season.
"After Marcelo comes back, we see a Real Madrid like never before."
"With the wings composed of Marcelo and Carvajal, coupled with the team's midfield and the trident in the frontcourt, Real Madrid showed strong control and attack power, which has never been seen in the past.
"
De La Morena of Ser Radio even asserted that the current Real Madrid team has not yet reached maturity, but it already looks very dominant. "Given time, this team is likely to become a team that surpasses Barcelona and is very powerful."
A dominant, era-defining team!"
…
If the French media and the Spanish media both have obvious biases, then the German newspaper Bild looked at the game from a neutral perspective and believed that Real Madrid had stripped off the gorgeous coat of Paris.
Bild believes that Paris Saint-Germain can advance to the Champions League semi-finals this season, and head coach Carlo Ancelotti is indispensable. The team's continuous investment for many years is also amazing.
Many people even believe that Paris Saint-Germain will become the second Manchester City team and become a new star in the Champions League under the guidance of Ancelotti.
But this battle at the Parc des Princes surprised everyone who was optimistic about Paris.
"Facts have proven that simply piling up stars is not enough to build a championship team."
"Paris Saint-Germain has continued to invest heavily, but it has focused too much on the frontcourt, and the midfield and defense are too thin. This has seriously hindered Paris Saint-Germain's overall combat effectiveness."
Bild also pointed out that Paris Saint-Germain is now like an international mercenary, and there is no core skeleton when forming the team. This is different from the sophisticated Naples and Manchester City.
Even at Real Madrid, when Gao Shen took over, he immediately established the idea of using local players as the skeleton and Ramos, Xabi Alonso and Benzema as the central axis.
"But in Paris, the reasonable division of labor between Ibrahimovic and Cavani, the team's midfield and frontcourt lineup, and the backline staffing are all big problems."
Not to mention, the media previously broke the news that Paris Saint-Germain has insufficient local players, and many players are brought in to meet the registration requirements of the French Football Association and UEFA. This has seriously hindered the overall competitiveness of Paris Saint-Germain.
The German media believes that Paris looks strong and arrogant, but in fact it is very fragile.
"At the Parc des Princes, the sophisticated Real Madrid taught PSG a hard lesson."
Bild analyzed Real Madrid's journey this season, and also introduced the challenges Real Madrid encountered along the way in the Champions League and La Liga. It believed that Real Madrid's trend is going up all the way.
Gao Shen's start has been controversial. From signings to the group stage to injuries to Marcelo and Arbeloa, Real Madrid has struggled.
But Gao Shen withstood all the pressure, devoted himself to cultivating young players, and persisted in polishing the team's tactics, all of which yielded gratifying results in the second half.
Especially after Marcelo's comeback, Real Madrid won three consecutive Champions League knockout games without conceding a goal.
“The report card is absolutely amazing!”
"It's not even a secret that Real Madrid now has the strength to win the Champions League, and is even the number one favorite."
But Bild also reminded Gao Shen that Heynckes' Bayern and Pellegrini's Manchester City are both strong championship favorites and may pose a threat to Real Madrid, especially Bayern Munich.
"After absorbing the setbacks of last season's Champions League final, Bayern Munich learned from the experience and its performance this season has obviously reached a higher level. Especially the integration of several players in the team has made people see Bayern's gratifying transformation.
"
"Heynckes' team is stronger than last season. It may not be able to eliminate Manchester City, get tickets to Wembley Stadium, or even defeat Real Madrid at Wembley Stadium."
Bild believes that Real Madrid encounters Bayern, Gao Shen encounters Jupp Heynckes again, Toni Kroos, Khedira and other players encounter their old club, these will become the biggest highlights of the game.
"More importantly, Heynckes lost his ambition and took revenge!"
However, if the German team champion wants to enter the Champions League final, it must overcome Manchester City's hurdle.
As the first and only team to successfully defend the Champions League since its restructuring, Manchester City's overall strength cannot be underestimated.
Even if the head coach changes from Gao Shen to Pellegrini, he will still be able to defeat Bayern.
This can be seen from the general optimism of the British media before the game.
