Once upon a time, Gao Shen was also a young man with fire in his chest and daggers in his eyes.
After leaving school and being repeatedly ravaged by society, he began to calm down.
Euphemistically called: mature.
There was still fire in his chest, but he suppressed it; there was still a knife in his eyes, but he hid it.
From time traveling to now, Gao Shen has been walking on thin ice step by step. Every time he takes a step forward, he has to plan several steps in advance.
At Highbury Stadium, he was able to grit his teeth when facing Arsenal; in Turin, he was able to endure when facing Capello's Juventus; and at Camp Nou, he was able to deal with Barcelona calmly.
…
But tonight, at the Bernabeu, facing Ancelotti's AC Milan, when Ronaldo looked at him with that almost pleading look, when he read from the eyes of Raul, Zidane and Beckham, etc.
Understand their thoughts, when he...
He was impulsive!
Whether he was working in a company before or now as the head coach of Real Madrid, he feels that team cohesion is the most important.
And now, he is going to be excited for this cohesion!
After the start of the second half, Gao Shen stood on the sidelines and watched the game on the court silently.
He still looked so calm and calm, and still had no expression at all. On the contrary, Ancelotti in the visiting team's coaching bench was a little anxious, but no one knew that in fact, the muscles in his legs were trembling non-stop, and his heart was pounding all the time.
Never fell behind.
He has never been a good gambler.
Therefore, for all these years, he never gambled, not even buying lottery tickets.
But precisely because of this, he was even more nervous, even though he pretended to be extremely calm on the outside.
Professional gamblers have become accustomed to this kind of heartbeat game, so they enjoy it very much. Only unprofessional gamblers like Gao Shen will be nervous and tremble all over before the game is revealed.
But no matter how nervous he felt, he always stood in front of the coaching bench, upright, like a lighthouse.
…
On the court, Real Madrid players are still launching high-intensity frontcourt pressure towards AC Milan.
This made the Rossoneri players somewhat unexpected, and the scene continued to be passive in the first half.
Gao Shen didn't make any substitutions, but that doesn't mean he didn't make adjustments.
AC Milan's defense in the first half made him realize that it was not easy to break through the Rossoneri's defense, so in the second half he focused the team's pressing on AC Milan's left wing, which was Baker.
Ham's side.
When Zidane restricted Pirlo, Gravesson and De La Rede pinched Kaka, the side where Serginho and Seedorf were located became the main channel for AC Milan's attack. Real Madrid is here
It is also normal to gather heavy troops.
But once he seizes the ball, he counterattacks when he has the chance.
When the counterattack failed, the long pass was transferred to the left, looking for Felipe Luis.
Yes, Gao Shen gave Felipe the power to move forward significantly and participate in the frontcourt attack.
Gao Shen's greatest strength is that AC Milan did not do a good job of counterattacking after losing the ball. Beckham easily obtained the space and opportunity to pass the long ball.
As long as it is caught, it is possible to create a threat.
In the 57th minute, Arbeloa intercepted Seedorf's pass and handed it to Beckham.
The England midfielder stayed close to the right wing, and when there was no one to defend him for the first time, he stopped, glanced at the left side, and quickly sent a long horizontal pass with his right foot.
The ball flew out of the crowded right wing, crossed over a large area of the field, and landed on the open left wing.
Felipe quickly moved forward and stopped the ball with his side chest.
AC Milan's defense didn't come fast enough. Gattuso bullied Felipe immediately.
But the Brazilian didn't wait for Gattuso to reach his position. He moved the ball horizontally, opened up some gaps, and then passed the ball back to the center.
Zidane just ran over from the right rib. After seeing Felipe's cross, he stepped forward decisively, squeezed Pirlo away with his body, and passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area.
Raul quickly moved forward, got ahead of Stam, and pushed the ball towards the baseline. After leaving a slight gap, he directly kicked the ball towards the goal.
Dida defended very well this time, behind Stam and Nesta, blocking the shooting angle. However, because Raul's attack was so sudden, he could only fall sideways and hit the ball with one hand.
Blocked and failed to save the ball.
The ball was blocked from the left side of the goal, bounced high, turned a curve, and landed in front of the right side of the goal.
Ronaldo, who had just been on the right side of the penalty area, preparing to meet Beckham, had already rushed over.
Everyone can see that the Brazilian's physical fitness is close to the limit, but he has been gritting his teeth to support it.
Although Ronaldo grabbed a favorable position, Kaladze had better physical fitness and ran faster.
Facing the football that bounced off Raul's shot, Kaladze took the first step and tried to kick the ball away.
Ronaldo's movements were obviously a little slow, and it was already very difficult for his legs to support his body. In this case, the Brazilian had almost no choice. When he saw that the ball was about to be cleared by Kaladze, he gritted his teeth and looked forward resolutely.
Time seemed to be frozen at this moment.
Kaladze himself was very surprised when he made the move. He just wanted to make a rescue, not to hurt anyone, but Ronaldo tried too hard.
What would it look like if this kick hit him firmly on the head?
Kaladze hesitated and took it away, but Ronaldo headed the ball and dribbled it directly into AC Milan's goal.
All of this happened in an instant, and everyone was shocked, thinking that Kaladze had hit Ronaldo with his kick.
There was even a burst of exclamations at the Bernabeu Stadium.
"God, Ronaldo was kicked on the head by Kaladze and fell into the AC Milan goal."
"The referee Sasse blew the whistle and the goal was valid, but Ronaldo fell to the ground."
Countless Real Madrid fans rushed out of their seats, but forgot to cheer and celebrate the goal.
At the referee's signal, the Real Madrid team doctor quickly rushed into the court, followed closely by the stretcher.
Gao Shen also clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.
But soon, the team doctor turned around and gave Gao Shen a reassuring gesture.
"Wow, we can see that Ronaldo is not injured."
"From the slow-motion replay, we can see that Kaladze stopped his kick at the critical moment and failed to hit Ronaldo."
"Oh my god, it was so dangerous just now."
"If this kick was hit, the consequences would be really disastrous."
The Bernabeu Stadium burst into applause, and countless Real Madrid fans were shouting for Ronaldo.
It's been a long time since aliens heard the cheers from the Bernabeu.
At this moment, he was lying in the AC Milan goal, hearing the cheers of the whole stadium, and hearing the fans shouting his name. He slumped feebly on the grass, but a smile appeared on his face.
His iconic bunny teeth.
Three to zero!
He finally scored!
…
What is the real Real Madrid?
This is the former Real Madrid coach and former Real Madrid captain Camacho who raised questions in the media after angrily announcing his resignation.
In the past few years, more and more people have been reflecting on this issue.
Everyone has their own Real Madrid in their hearts.
Just like Florentino, his Real Madrid is the star-studded Real Madrid during the chairman Bernabeu period. It is a beautiful memory of his youth and his lifelong pursuit; and like Del Bosque, his favorite should be
The Real Madrid team in 2002 was the pinnacle of his coaching career.
And Butragueno, Valdano, Di Stefano, Camacho...even Martin.
Everyone is different, but when they watched Ronaldo being carried off on a stretcher, watched the rabbit-toothed smile on the Brazilian's face, and watched him lying on the stretcher in front of the home team's coaching bench, they still did not forget to stretch.
He shook hands with the head coach. Although he couldn't hear clearly what he said, it was probably a word of thanks.
Everyone was infected and moved.
This is football.
Some people say that the reason why a legend is a legend is that a certain moment on the court moved everyone.
For example, the back view of Roberto Baggio in the World Cup, or the moment when Beckham scored a penalty against Argentina, or the cry when Ronaldo was injured and came off the field, or the helplessness of Batistuta scoring the Fiorentina goal...
Thousands of football fans will also remember Maradona’s Hand of God, Zidane’s flying magic, Ronaldo’s unstoppability, and Ronaldinho’s smooth flow...
It is these bit by bit moments that have brought countless fans unforgettable memories and have become a football classic.
At this moment, everyone in the VIP box, including Florentino, was reflecting.
The sophisticated Real Madrid is not the Real Madrid in their minds, but this does not prevent them from being moved by this team at all.
More importantly, Gao Shen can lead the team to win.
Then why, in the last three years of the Galactico era, which countless people talk about and which is the most traditional of Real Madrid, collapsed in such an embarrassing and terrible way?
What exactly did Gao Shen inject into this Real Madrid team?
Why can the same team undergo such a transformation?
This is a very profound question.
Florentino knew that if he didn't figure this problem out, he would never succeed.
Because times have changed!
…
Ronaldo went off injured and Gao Shen immediately replaced him with Negredo.
Not only that, he completed two substitutions in one go.
The other one was to replace Zidane with Baptista, making it clear that he would continue to use Baptista to suppress Pirlo.
The unlucky Pirlo was heartbroken.
After finally getting through Zidane, he was replaced by a more ferocious beast, which would kill him.
But unfortunately, in the advanced tactics, Pirlo is not willing to relax for a moment.
Ancelotti was also making substitutions, first replacing Inzaghi with Gilardino, and then seeing through Gao Shen's restraint on Pirlo, he replaced Pirlo with Maldini and replaced Sergi
Neo was pushed to the midfield, and Seedorf became the midfield organizer.
Finally, he replaced Stam with Cafu.
When all three substitutions were used up, the game only reached the 75th minute.
Ancelotti wants to score a goal.
But Gao Shen had three goals in hand, indicating that the team should adopt a defensive strategy.
In the last ten minutes of the game, AC Milan began to take advantage of the field and created several opportunities, but failed to turn into a real threat. In the end, they could only lose 0-3 away at the Bernabeu.
