Real Madrid defeated AC Milan 3-0 at home, winning a hearty victory and winning warm applause after the game.
Aspen newspaper used its front page headline to express its appreciation for Real Madrid.
99.9%!
These eye-catching red numbers tell all Real Madrid fans that after this home game, Real Madrid has basically obtained the ticket to the Stade de France.
Yes, this season's Champions League final will be held at the Stade de France in Paris, France.
The reason why it is not 100% is because there are no absolutes in football. You have to leave some thoughts for AC Milan, right?
But everyone knows that the score of 3-0 has basically determined that the team will advance to the finals.
In addition to praising the Spanish media, many are thinking about the changes in Real Madrid's game.
For example, Alfredo, the editor-in-chief of Aspen, said in a column that Gao Shen used this game to prove that his football philosophy is not conservative. One of the important reasons why he insisted on using defensive tactics before was that Real Madrid
His defense is not strong and his physical fitness is not outstanding.
“After meeting AC Milan, who were also old and had just struggled against Inter Milan, but whose physical fitness was not very good, Gao Shen made a decisive attack and won a hearty 3-0 victory at home, seizing the initiative to advance.
"
Alfredo believes that Gao Shen's contribution to this Real Madrid team has been far underestimated.
AS also interviewed many Real Madrid players, including Raul, after the game. They all agreed that the accusations and criticism of the head coach Gao Shen from the outside world were unfair.
"He has brought the team back on track. For this reason, he deserves the respect of all of us!" Captain Raul said solemnly. Not only that, he also said that Gao Shen has always been a member of the team from coaching to now.
the backbone of.
From Highbury, to Alp, to Camp Nou, and now to the Bernabeu, Gao Shen has always played the most important role in the team's transformation, and is also a key figure in Real Madrid getting out of the quagmire.
"Many people don't know that, in fact, the day after he officially took over Real Madrid, that is, before attending his first press conference, we had an in-depth conversation in the car on the way to the Bernabeu.
"
"At that time, he told me a lot about his vision for the team. I have always believed that he is a very thoughtful, determined and courageous head coach, and facts have proven that he successfully brought Real Madrid out of the
Quagmire, on the right track.”
Raul said that if he had the power to make a decision, the first thing he would do is renew the contract with Gao Shen.
"I know that he is still very young, only 25 years old, but believe me, he is a very good and capable head coach, and more importantly, his football philosophy is very advanced. Renewing his contract will give
With his support, he can build a new and competitive Real Madrid."
Aspen believes that Raul’s appeal also represents the locker room’s attitude towards Gao Shen.
From the earliest doubts, to now almost the entire locker room admires Gao Shen. Roberto Carlos, who was banned by Gao Shen, has not appeared in front of people for a long time, and no one misses him.
Gao Shen now has complete control over the Real Madrid dressing room and has the support of everyone.
Ronaldo, who scored the third goal, was very happy after the game. Some media revealed that he danced happily in the locker room and did a striptease to celebrate his first Champions League goal of the season.
After the game, the Brazilian accepted an interview with AS and explained the significance of his goal.
Ronaldo said that this goal was not only his, but also the credit of everyone in the Real Madrid team.
"But I would give it to our young head coach."
Ronaldo explained the significance of this goal to him, and also explained the process behind the goal, from the advanced formation, to his request at halftime, to the final goal.
"I know that my request disrupted the team's pre-game arrangements, but he still chose to believe me."
"Actually, from the end of the World Cup in Korea and Japan to now, apart from Del Bosque, he is the second head coach who has made me feel trusted. This kind of trust is not something I talk about in daily life, but at critical moments, he dares to believe
."
"It's not just me, it's everyone in the locker room, stars or young players."
Ronaldo also mentioned that he was moved because Gao Shen did not emphasize anything, but let all the players let go and play. "He shouldered all the pressure alone. He is a very good leader."
Obviously, Ronaldo's words have some connotations, including those of Cooper, the previous coaches who have coached him.
Finally, Ronaldo, Raul and other Real Madrid stars who were interviewed all said that the team is determined to win the championship.
Not only La Liga, but now there is another Champions League.
…
Real Madrid fans and the Spanish media were at a loss.
Almost every week, or every once in a while, their evaluation and judgment of Real Madrid will change dramatically.
At the beginning of Gao Shen's coaching career, who could have imagined that Real Madrid would be where it is today?
Now, Real Madrid has not only tied Barcelona in the La Liga standings, but also defeated AC Milan 3-0 in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and is just around the corner to reach the final. This is simply unbelievable.
Whether it's fans or the media, most of them will change their attitudes and stances as the team's performance changes.
Especially after Real Madrid defeated AC Milan 3-0, it received praise from almost all media and fans.
This is one foot into the Champions League final!
But there is also a section of the media that is frantically grabbing the spotlight. From the post-game press conference to the next day's game commentary, they still continue to criticize Gao Shen.
At the press conference, some media reporters questioned him on the spot until Maquida was speechless and unable to resist. In the newspapers the next day, some newspapers even openly questioned Gao Shen.
"This battle at the Bernabeu just proves that our judgment in the past was correct. Real Madrid is strong enough to defeat all opponents, as long as Gao Shen is not so conservative!"
Some media even believe that Real Madrid is back on track, and Gao Shen is becoming Real Madrid's weakest point.
Amidst all the praise, a small number of doubts and criticisms seemed particularly harsh and eye-catching.
…
Compared with Spanish media reports, European mainstream media reports were all positive.
Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy believed that Ancelotti was at a disadvantage in the competition with Gao Shen in this powerful dialogue, and obviously underestimated the difficulty of the Bernabeu battle.
More importantly, Real Madrid continued Lyon and Inter Milan's effective targeted tactics against AC Milan, strangling the Rossoneri to death and leaving Ancelotti's team helpless throughout the game.
"Gao Shen's tactics are very ruthless. He doesn't look like a young rookie who has just debuted, but like an experienced coach. Whether it is the starting tactics in the opening or keeping Ronaldo in the second half, he has shown his commanding ability and
His ability to manage the locker room shows his potential as a coach."
As an Italian media, La Gazzetta dello Sport also specifically commented on Real Madrid's tactics in this game, believing that Gao Shen's tactical style, whether he was arranging the formation or directing the team, was very unique and innovative.
"From the two-leg match against Juventus in the quarter-finals to the semi-final match against AC Milan, Gao Shen gave three amazing answers in three games."
"Perhaps his tactics are still a little rough, his formations are not refined enough, and his on-the-spot command is not sophisticated enough, but none of these can cover up the unique temperament he has shown in these games."
However, La Gazzetta dello Sport also revealed that Gao Shen is fighting the fire in the middle of this season. In Real Madrid's current lineup, he has limited space to play. It is very rare to achieve the results he has achieved now.
His real challenge is next season.
"Whether I leave Real Madrid or stay in Real Madrid, the next full season will be the biggest test for Gao Shen."
L'Equipe also believes that Real Madrid's counterattack led by Gao Shen this season is the biggest surprise in European football.
Especially for Gao Shen, who is only 25 years old, it can be called the most shocking surprise in the history of the five major European leagues.
"As we all know, in the past we have always felt that the position of head coach is very dependent on experience, but the emergence of Gao Shen has completely broken this prejudice. His emergence has brought great stimulation to the entire European football world and injected fresh vitality.
.”
L'Equipe believes that Gao Shen's coaching at Real Madrid did not fully demonstrate his football philosophy, but it was amazing enough.
"We have absolutely reason to believe that Gao Shen is a genius in the coaching world. What he needs to do next is to use a full season to build a team that best embodies his tactical concepts and achieve results in European football.
"
L'Equipe believes that there is no need to win the Champions League or other championships, it only needs to further improve on the basis of the current Real Madrid and play eye-catching football, that is success!
The German Kicker magazine also wrote an in-depth report on the Champions League special issue in mid-week, interviewing the famous German star Beckenbauer.
The football emperor said in an interview with the media that Gao Shen's Real Madrid and Rijkaard's Barcelona are the most impressive teams in the Champions League this season, but unlike Rijkaard, Gao Shen still needs to further prove himself.
.
"It's always very difficult to coach a team like Real Madrid. If you win a game or win a championship, the credit belongs to the players. If you lose a game or lose the championship, the responsibility always belongs to the head coach."
Beckenbauer is not only a great player, but also a great coach. He strongly suggested that Gao Shen leave Real Madrid.
"He is still young and should be able to calm down, carefully polish a team that is completely his own, and explain his football philosophy to the world. Only by taking this step can he truly embark on the journey of becoming famous.
The road to handsomeness.”
Suddenly, major media outlets across Europe and even the world paid attention to Gao Shen.
There are also earth-shaking evaluations of Real Madrid's prospects, even some radical ones, as if Real Madrid has already won two important championships in La Liga and the Champions League.
But in this atmosphere, Real Madrid, which was in a good situation in La Liga at the weekend, suffered a blow.
