Because so far this season, his Champions League record is zero goals.
During Luxenberg's coaching tenure, he did not play in the Champions League and focused more on La Liga.
Until Carlo was coaching, he started and played the full 90 minutes in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round of 16, but in that game Real Madrid lost 1-0 to Arsenal at the Bernabeu.
At that time, all the superstars received overwhelming criticism.
Soon, Chairman Florentino was fired and replaced by Vice Chairman Martin. Then Gao Shen replaced Carlo and became the youngest head coach in the history of Real Madrid and even La Liga.
Even though it was still an agent at the time.
Later, Gao Shen launched the strategy of suppressing the Brazilian gang and supporting the local gang, and Ronaldo stayed away from the game.
It is said to be more than a month, but in fact, Real Madrid only played two games in the Champions League, one against Arsenal and one against Juventus. Ronaldo was not even included in the squad for these two games.
Ronaldo scored against Juventus at the Bernabeu and came on as a substitute, but he did not score.
Facing AC Milan tonight, after winning at home, we will definitely have to defend and counterattack in the away game.
If we can't score tonight, it will be even harder to score away from home.
If the team reaches the finals, it will be even more difficult to predict goals.
If Real Madrid can really win the championship and Ronaldo can go on stage to receive the first and possibly only Big Ears Cup in his career, he as a forward does not even score a single goal. It will be a huge regret for him.
, even humiliating.
At that time, how can he have the face to tell others that he has also won the Champions League?
As a star, Ronaldo is willful, but also very proud.
He didn't want to leave such regrets and shame to his career, so the moment he walked off the court, he asked Gao Shen to give him a little more time so that he could score a goal.
He really just wants to score a goal!
…
Gao Shen did not agree to Ronaldo on the spot, he needed to consider everything.
But he calmed the Brazilian and asked him to go back and rest quickly, waiting for his decision.
The moment Ronaldo walked into the tunnel, Gao Shen also saw the eyes of other Real Madrid players, especially Zidane, Beckham and Raul.
Maybe they have different positions, maybe they think about the problem from different angles, or there may even be a conflict of interest, but as a professional player, especially one of the top professional players in the world, they can all understand Ronaldo's current anxious mood.
If it were them, they would do the same thing.
Gao Shen has never played football, but he feels it from the players.
After sending off all the players, Gao Shen first looked at the substitute players warming up on the field and scratched his chin.
"Fernando, Lorenzo, what do you think?"
Lucas is responsible for data analysis. He has real-time data on players, including their running and on-field performance.
"He worked really hard, but his physical energy was really exhausted. In the last fifteen minutes, his performance dropped completely from the first thirty minutes, and all the data dropped sharply." Lucas only talked about the data.
.
Buenaventura sighed, "He is really at the end of his strength."
Ronaldo was originally not in good physical condition, he was fat, and suffered many injuries. Although he trained very hard during this period, his body cannot be trained in a short period of time, especially physical fitness.
Gao Shen still clearly remembers that when a classmate failed in physical education in the high school entrance examination, in order to practice long-distance running, he would go to the playground to run one thousand meters every afternoon between school and evening self-study. He practiced for a full semester, one thousand meters.
Just barely passed the test.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that this classmate is slightly fat, but from this point of view it is not difficult to see that physical fitness cannot be achieved overnight.
To some extent, it was not easy for Ronaldo to last through the first half.
"Let him play in the second half." Maqueda suggested, "According to our original plan, we have to defend in the second half and don't give AC Milan a chance to score. It's not worth taking the risk."
If Negredo is used, both Gao Shen and Real Madrid are confident of holding on to the 2-0 score.
But if Ronaldo continues to stay on the court, there will be more unknowns. It may be 3-0, but it may also be 2-1.
Giving the opponent an away goal will make the second leg more suspenseful.
Maqueda is right, it’s not worth it!
"But in this world, you can't do anything until it's worth it, right?" Gao Shen sighed and asked.
Rather than saying that he was asking Maqueda, it would be better to say that he was asking himself.
He is confident that even if he replaces Ronaldo now, there will be no problem, but is this really good?
In the final analysis, locker room management is still about people management, and people are all emotional animals, right?
"Our female reporter from Real Madrid TV recently sent me a list of questions that fans left messages on the official website. She carefully selected some representative ones."
Gao Shen said with a smile, but the topic seemed to have nothing to do with Ronaldo.
Everyone was confused after hearing this, wondering what the purpose of Gao Shen's sudden talk was.
"One of the questions is why Queiroz and Rosenborg failed to deal with locker room issues during their coaching years, but I was able to have a good relationship with this group of superstars in the team?"
After everyone heard the question, they all showed their thoughts.
In fact, this is not only the questioner’s doubt, but also the doubt of many people, or even everyone.
From locker room management in football to personnel management in companies, we will all encounter such problems.
"I think the main reason is that I have been trying to convey a concept to this group of superstars and veterans from beginning to end. I am not here to end their careers. On the contrary, I have been telling them,
They can also make more and greater contributions to the team."
"I would even tell them that during my time as coach, they can win things they have never won in their careers, such as Ronaldo's Champions League or Beckham's championship at Real Madrid."
This is the reason why Real Madrid's superstars are willing to be driven by proficiency and do their best for him.
A player's career is like a person's life. If a player realizes that his career is about to end and that he is no longer important in this team, it often means that this player
It will become a big trouble.
So Gao Shen gave hope to Raul, gave hope to Zidane and Beckham, and later gave hope to Ronaldo.
Then, they no longer become a problem.
On the contrary, they are performing better and better.
Behind all this is Gao Shen's understanding of them, including the setbacks they suffered, their ambitions, and their doubts. Through this understanding, they were made to believe that Gao Shen was fighting alongside them.
This is his secret to controlling the locker room and activating superstars!
Managing a locker room is actually the same as managing a company, a department, or a unit.
In this case, what reason does Gao Shen have to reject Ronaldo now?
Is there any reason not to take this risk with him?
…
Gao Shen let out a heavy breath, and his whole body became relaxed.
Around him, when the members of the coaching staff looked at him again, they obviously looked a little different.
A little more admiration.
In the past, many people thought that being tall was good luck, being able to talk, praise others, and coax the superstars well.
But now, they all discovered that things were not that simple.
It turns out that there is such a profound meaning behind everything Gao Shen does.
Looking back, it's actually not surprising. If the superstars were so easy to coax, would Real Madrid become the Real Madrid they are now?
"Lorenzo, go back quickly and try every means to allow Ronaldo to continue playing in the second half."
After making the decision, Gao Shen made a prompt decision.
Buenaventura didn't say much, nodded in agreement, and immediately walked back.
"Everyone, please go back and prepare."
…
When Gao Shen returned to the locker room, he happened to see the masseur massaging Ronaldo's muscles.
When the Brazilian saw Gao Shen entering the door, his eyes were filled with gratitude.
The other players looked at Gao Shen with a more familiar look, and they felt like they truly regarded him as one of their own.
"Ronnie said that he will score in the second half, and if he can score, I believe him!" Gao Shen came to the players and said Su Rong.
"I know it may be a bit risky to do this, but I don't want you to have any burden. Even if you go out to play, I will bear all the consequences. I believe you will not let me down. I will definitely be able to see you again in the second half.
Goal!"
There was no excessive motivation or any inflammatory words, but just these two simple sentences aroused the emotions of all the players in the locker room.
Because Gao Shen said two words from beginning to end, trust!
Ronaldo, who was the first to bear the brunt, was so excited that he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and looked like he wished he could return to the court immediately.
Before, he bowed to Gao Shen, somewhat forced by the situation, but from this moment, from now on, he surrendered!
Thoroughly and wholeheartedly convinced!
After Raul, Zidane, Beckham and others looked at each other, they all saw admiration in each other's eyes. Their impression and evaluation of Gao Shen obviously became higher.
…………
…………
Real Madrid players are very motivated, but it is Ancelotti and his AC Milan who are unlucky.
Based on the situation in the first half, Ancelotti guessed that Real Madrid would be on the defensive in the second half and AC Milan would be in a much better situation.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid took the initiative again and continued to adopt the high-position pressing tactics of the first half.
This caught AC Milan off guard again, and they were a little embarrassed to deal with it.
Isn't it interesting that you are so impatient when others are not ready yet?
What about the gentlemanly behavior you mentioned?
Ancelotti didn't expect that Real Madrid would continue to risk their lives in the second half. He immediately walked to the sidelines and signaled the team to stabilize their defense.
But after the first half of the game, Real Madrid's style of play became more and more slippery, and AC Milan couldn't find its way.
Although his advanced skills allowed Ronaldo not to expend too much physical energy and energy on defense and focus on offense, the Brazilian was still very desperate, looking like a hungry wolf with scarlet eyes staring at his prey.
