It was already midnight when we returned to Valdebebas from the Calderon Stadium.
After the team is disbanded, the coaching staff will stay for another meeting.
This is the norm during double matches a week.
Gao Shen and the coaching staff must seize the time to plan tomorrow's, no, strictly speaking, it is already this morning's recovery training and afternoon's training program.
They really have no time to waste and must race against time.
After playing Atletico Madrid, it's time to face Paris Saint-Germain at the Bernabeu.
Ancelotti is not a simple old boy, he can shine with a little sunshine.
Both Gao Shen and Real Madrid must go all out.
When Real Madrid reversed Atletico Madrid in the away game, Barcelona also defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-1 in the away game and continued to maintain a one-point lead over Real Madrid.
This is what Gao Shen and the coaching staff said when they saw the schedule before the season: Barcelona's schedule is good.
At least, compared to Real Madrid, Barcelona's schedule is much better.
Some of Real Madrid's strong dialogues are arranged in the middle of the Champions League matches, which is terrible.
Real Madrid's lineup has also exposed problems this season, especially the lack of depth on the bench.
Kaka wants to leave the team and bring in a strong midfielder. This is what must be done.
Verratti is improving at a good rate and is not yet able to challenge the positions of Toni Kroos and Modric, but the overall trend is very good. If time passes and he continues to grow, he will definitely become an important member of the team in the future.
But Yinske can only be used as a surprise soldier and cannot be reused.
At least for the time being.
Even if Real Madrid does sign Yinliarramendi, he is still the candidate for the defensive midfielder and the successor of Xabi Alonso.
But now, what Gao Shen needs is a central midfielder.
De Bruyne is very good, but he is now heavily used in Manchester City.
And David Silva.
"Florentino said, these rich people cannot be offended." Gao Shen smiled wryly and waved his hand.
If the team's lineup were thicker, he would have a lot less worries.
It will also be easier to rotate.
It won't be like now where we are constantly stretched.
Florentino never said this, but the meaning is this. Teams like Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain cannot be provoked. Even if they want to buy someone, they have to negotiate with the other club before doing anything.
Of course, Real Madrid has always bought people like this.
"The technical team has given out a list of candidates."
Zidane has always been responsible for the handover between the senior coaching staff and the management, and he knows these things best.
"They gave four candidates, Gundogan from Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Eriksen from Ajax in the Dutch Eredivisie, Miralem Pjanic from Roma in the Serie A, and..." Zidane paused and looked.
Toward the depths.
"Paul Pogba of Leeds United in the Premier League."
When Hierro heard the last name, he looked at Gao Shen in surprise.
Everyone knows that Leeds United is a sophisticated team.
But he found that everything was as usual at Gao Shen and there was no reaction.
"It's not easy to poach wealthy teams, and we don't need to bring in core players. We definitely can't buy players like David Silva, De Bruyne, and Rakitic."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
When Zidane said this, he smiled and said: "I think Paul Pogba is pretty good."
This is his compatriot in France and a player he admires very much.
In fact, Zidane has recommended Paul Pogba to Real Madrid's technical team many times.
This is really not without reason.
At Leeds United, Paul Pogba's position is left central midfielder, but in reality?
He often cooperates with the left midfielder Coutinho and the left back Kurzava, and even switches positions. Pogba's position looks like a left center midfielder, but he often plays a left inside forward, a left forward, or even a left winger.
The role of the defensive midfielder is very comprehensive and versatile.
He is also Leeds United's best player this season.
More importantly, he is tall and skilled with his feet, which is very similar to Zidane when he plays football.
The roles, positions, and technical styles are all very similar. It's not surprising that Zidane likes Pogba.
"Paris Saint-Germain is also very interested in this player, as well as Manchester United." Gao Shen reminded.
Pogba came from Manchester United, and it is normal for the Red Devils to want to buy him back.
What's more, Manchester United will change coaches this summer. Moyes will definitely reorganize the team by then, and buying back Pogba is a matter of course.
As for Paris, the midfield problem is very obvious.
In Gao Shen's eyes, Pogba is not a candidate for the defensive midfielder.
Of course, he can play this position, but his best position is not here.
But it doesn't hinder Paris Saint-Germain's interest in him at all, because the French Ligue 1 team is currently seriously short of players in the midfield, with only Matuyindi barely able to use it, and Pastore is more inclined to attack.
"Ancelotti has named him and Gundogan."
In other words, if Real Madrid wants to sign one of them, it must face competition from Paris Saint-Germain.
Members of Real Madrid's coaching staff also know that Gao Shen has always been business-oriented.
In private, he would talk about Leeds United, but when serious matters were discussed, he rarely got involved.
For example, when Real Madrid wanted to sign Courtois before, Gao Shen did not participate.
If Paul Pogba is to be signed this time, Gao Shen should not be involved.
…
Real Madrid now has problems not only in the midfield, but also in the forward and defense lines.
Gao Shen gave the request to the technical team and tried to sign David Alaba from Bayern Munich.
This is the left back he is most optimistic about now, mainly because of his outstanding passing ability.
But it is not easy to sign Alaba, and it is also difficult to convince Bayern to release him. Unless Alaba becomes tempted and breaks away from Bayern, then Real Madrid can intervene.
At present, this transaction is not easy to operate.
The problems on the front line were caused by Yin Guayin's determination to leave the team.
The center chosen by Gao Shen is Dortmund's Lewandowski, but the Polish center is not very interested in joining Real Madrid.
"He wants to go to Bayern Munich more." Gao Shen said with a wry smile.
"Why?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
Who else can refuse Real Madrid's invitation these days?
Especially the combination of Gao Shen and Real Madrid, this is simply a killer weapon in European football.
As for the stars, who wouldn’t want to come?
"Because Bayern can promise to give him a core position, but we can't. We can only promise to let him compete fairly with Benzema, but you have also seen Benzema's performance this season."
Gao Shen was also helpless about this.
Benzema really shines in his hands. Not only has his scoring efficiency improved, but his tactical role has also become more and more obvious. In addition, with superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria in charge, Real Madrid now has a frontcourt advantage.
It is clear.
But the problem that followed was that Wandowski was worried about his position after joining Real Madrid.
To put it simply, he is afraid that he cannot compete with Benzema.
If you say this, many fans who come to Wandowski may not want to hear it, but that is the fact.
Since he can get the core position by going to Bayern, why should he come to Real Madrid to compete with Benzema?
They are all the stars of wealthy teams, and the gap is not that big.
"So, now we still need to find a center." Gao Shen looked confused.
Although the technical team is worried about it, Gao Shen also has to ask, after all, this is related to the team's journey next season.
In contrast, for the two wings, Morata, Jese and Vazquez are all good substitutes and can all be qualified.
Therefore, Real Madrid's most important signings this summer focus on centers, central midfielders and full-backs.
Even the full-backs are not urgent, the introduction of a center forward and a central midfielder is imminent.
…
In addition to summer transfers, Real Madrid's contract renewal is also a problem.
Fortunately, as early as the end of last year, Gao Shen had been pushing for the team to renew his contract, and the progress is going smoothly, so the team's morale is also very good, including Xavi Alonso and others, who have renewed their contracts in advance.
The competition between Casillas and Courtois is fierce, but there are not many problems.
Gao Shen has also looked for opportunities before and communicated with the two goalkeepers. For the time being, it is best to maintain the status quo. It is more suitable for the team and the two players.
Casillas and Courtois have also made it clear that they are willing to continue competing in the new season.
In terms of central defenders, Ramos, Pepe and Varane are currently rotating, but Albiol has received very few game opportunities. He is also a little restless now, and Gao Shen has been paying close attention to the situation.
If Albiol really wants to leave, Gao Shen won't be able to keep him.
After all, if none of the three central defenders are injured, where will Albiol get a chance to play?
It's impossible for Gao Shen to ask others to sit on the bench and wait for opportunities, right?
Fortunately, Nacho is a versatile player and can also play as a central defender.
Transfers and contract renewals can be put on hold for the time being, but the team's upcoming schedule will make Gao Shen a little weak.
The Champions League and Copa del Rey are relatively clear, but La Liga is very problematic.
Now Barcelona plays one game a week to recharge their batteries and play league football.
The comebacks of Vilanova and Abidal have greatly boosted the team's morale, resulting in Barcelona playing very steadily now.
There are five rounds left in La Liga, and the real challenge to Barcelona is the away game against Atletico Madrid.
But everyone knows that Barcelona has always been the enemy of Atletico Madrid. It is hard to say whether the Shenlian Legion can snipe Barcelona at home and help Real Madrid.
If they had the choice, Atletico Madrid would probably let Barcelona go and let Barcelona win the championship.
Therefore, Gao Shen had a vague hunch that La Liga might be in doubt.
This is why he is determined to compete for the Champions League and Copa del Rey.
Barcelona has really played too steadily in La Liga, especially after being eliminated from the Champions League. Instead, they concentrated all their forces on La Liga. The most terrible thing is that Real Madrid failed to reverse Barcelona at the Bernabeu as planned...
…
It's all that damn Ramos' fault!
One wave, and the hope of winning the La Liga title this season was immediately wiped out!
Gao Shen has no choice but to lead Real Madrid to play every game and wait for Barcelona to make mistakes.
Otherwise, what else can be done?
It is impossible to call Vilanova and tell him: Brother, we want the Triple Crown, you made a mistake.
Vilanova would probably only reply with the word "gao shen".
