When Real Madrid defeated Chelsea 1-0 at the Eden Stadium in Prague, Czech Republic, and won the second European Super Cup title in the club's history, the news spread very quickly and caused huge repercussions around the world.
Today's Real Madrid is showing more and more aggressiveness.
First, they defeated Barcelona in two rounds and won the Spanish Super Cup. Now they defeated Chelsea and won the European Super Cup. This gave all Real Madrid's competitors a headache.
In Madrid, the capital of Spain, countless Real Madrid fans took to the streets and celebrated all night long.
By winning this championship, Real Madrid is undoubtedly one step closer to a great renaissance.
All Real Madrid fans now have no doubt that Gao Shen can lead Real Madrid to glory.
Major media in Spain, Europe, and even the world have given Real Madrid overwhelming praise, and they have also given extremely high praise for their superb formation and on-the-spot command.
As Chelsea head coach Mourinho said after the game: "Real Madrid is better than us in terms of lineup thickness."
The implication is actually recognition of Gao Shen's adjustments during the game.
In contrast, Chelsea's several substitutions did not have the desired effect.
Even the German No. 10, whom Mourinho spent a lot of money to bring in, did not perform satisfactorily at Chelsea.
In the words of the famous Daily Mail reporter Martin Samuel, this type of midfielder is inherently wrong for Chelsea.
Real Madrid stayed in Prague overnight and chartered a flight back to Madrid the next morning.
Enthusiastic Real Madrid fans came to the airport to pick him up, and in the end they blocked the Real Madrid bus, looking extremely excited.
Butragueno has always had high popularity and prestige among Real Madrid fans. He personally went to comfort the fans, and finally reluctantly asked the fans to get out of the way, but they still followed the team bus all the way.
This time, Real Madrid did not go directly to the Bernabeu, but went to Valdebebas.
The day after tomorrow is the match against Athletic Bilbao. The team has no way to disband yet, and before the third round of La Liga, Real Madrid will hold a simple championship trophy display ceremony.
At that time, Athletic Bilbao will also line up to welcome Real Madrid.
This is not a requirement of Real Madrid, but a common practice.
Back then, Mourinho and Barcelona were at loggerheads over whether to line up.
…
After returning to Madrid, Gao Shen and the team have been recovering and adjusting.
Continuously intensive schedules, especially high-intensity games, are really a big test for Real Madrid.
Especially for the head coach.
Gao Shen must have complete control over the team and must know everything about the team in detail so that he can better arrange his troops and prepare for such a dense schedule.
For example, in the game against Athletic Bilbao, Gao Shen once again brought out Isco who was in good form.
One of the important reasons why Gao Shen did not use Isco in the previous match against Chelsea was that he felt that it would be difficult for Isco to perform against Chelsea.
But when facing Athletic Bilbao, Gao Shen made a change.
From the original four three three, it was adjusted to four two three one.
This surprised everyone.
Illarramendi and Verratti partnered as a double defensive midfielder, Morata, Benzema and Jese formed a frontcourt trident, and Isco acted as the central tenth position of the front three.
In addition, the two full-backs Marcelo and Carvajal, who did not play in Prague, Czech Republic, also started.
Except for Varane, Gao Shen replaced all ten other players, including the goalkeeper.
There is really no way around this.
I played a game in Prague, Czech Republic on August 30th, returned to Madrid on the morning of the 31st, resumed training in the afternoon, resumed training on the 1st, and played in the afternoon of the 2nd.
Especially people like Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Maria and Modric, who all played in the second round of the Spanish Super Cup, two games in four days, against Barcelona and Chelsea.
Let me ask, who can bear it?
Therefore, Gao Shen can only rotate drastically.
Since the Real Madrid game was postponed, the third round of La Liga has actually been played.
With Messi's hat trick, Barcelona narrowly defeated Valencia 3-2 in an away game and won their third consecutive victory.
Also winning three games in a row are Atletico Madrid and Villarreal.
Since Messi scored a hat trick, Ronaldo couldn't sit still and took the initiative to ask Gao Shen for playing time, but Gao Shen sternly refused.
Are you kidding me?
Do you really think that you are an iron man and will not get hurt?
After being scolded by Gao Shen, Ronaldo had no choice but to obey.
But Gao Shen promised that he would be given more playing time in the future.
"As long as your condition is good enough, don't be afraid that you can't beat Messi!"
Many main players are absent, making everyone worried about Real Madrid's game.
Moreover, in the past period of time, Real Madrid has won consecutive games despite such a dense schedule.
Although the process has its ups and downs, the final results are always good.
What about this time?
After the start, Real Madrid surrounded Athletic Bilbao and attacked fiercely.
In the 16th minute, Benzema used a step back to receive the ball and then turned around to pick a pass. Isco stepped in from the back row, stopped the ball with his chest and scored with a low shot, opening the scoring for Real Madrid.
One to zero!
The connection between these two players opened the door to victory for Real Madrid.
Afterwards, Athletic Bilbao also caused a lot of trouble for Real Madrid.
The current coach of the Basque Lions is no longer Bielsa, but the future Barcelona coach Valverde, but the Basque Lions still play very aggressively.
The two sides fell into a bitter fight.
But in stoppage time, Morata broke through with the ball from the left, creating a foul against Athletic Bilbao and winning a free kick for the team.
Verratti took the penalty, and Benzema in the center reversed and hit the goal with a header without any defense.
Two to zero!
At the beginning of the second half, it was another quick counterattack by Real Madrid.
Morata dribbled the ball from the left, avoided the defensive player, cut inside, and inserted diagonally into the penalty area. When he was fully able to kick the ball and hit the goal, he chose to pass the ball to Jese, who was in a better position.
The unguarded Jesé stopped the ball to the right side of the penalty spot and easily succeeded.
Three to zero!
Subsequently, Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao still had interactions.
But after entering the 70th minute, a long pass from Illarramendi was passed to the left side of the penalty area.
After Benzema stopped the ball with his back in the penalty area, he was double-teamed by two defensive players. He separated the ball and passed it to the top of the arc. Isco stepped in, stopped the ball, and shot furiously, all in one go.
Scored the Basque Lion's goal again.
Four to zero!
The whole Bernabeu was delighted.
No one expected that Real Madrid could score such a big score with such a strong rotation.
Especially the opponent is Athletic Bilbao.
…
Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 4-0 at home and once again won the full house's applause.
While their opponents were winning one after another, Real Madrid was able to withstand the pressure and beat Athletic Bilbao, which greatly inspired the confidence of Real Madrid fans and also made pro-Real Madrid media exclaim.
The era of Real Madrid has come!
De La Morena, the golden host of Radio Ser, is a complete Atletico Madrid fan, but he still praised Real Madrid's performance in his post-match commentary program, saying that he couldn't help but be impressed by such a sophisticated person.
Impressed by Real Madrid.
"This Real Madrid is completely different from the Real Madrid of the past. He is younger, more energetic, and also plays more imaginatively."
"Now, we can clearly see that after last season's training and training, this group of young players from Real Madrid have shown quite good standards."
"Isco has performed very well so far this season and scored twice in this round."
"It is worth noting that Gao Shen's use of him has been changing. From right winger to left winger and now to attacking midfielder, his position keeps changing. But in fact, his role has not changed and his position is very free.
."
"Verratti, Morata, Jese, Marcos Alonso, Nacho, Carvajal, Varane, and even new aid Pogba, this group of young players from Real Madrid have won
A very amazing performance.”
"This makes us all look forward to it. With the stars who won the Champions League last season and the young players who have grown up rapidly, what height can Real Madrid reach?"
"Gao Shen said that he will win the Triple Crown this season and win all the championships. To be honest, I didn't really believe it at first."
"But now that we have both the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup, who dares to say that this is impossible?"
De la Morena believes that many of Gao Shen's practices often have some profound meaning, but they are not understood by people at the time.
For example, last season's signings, as well as the promotion and reuse of young players.
One year has passed, and now when everyone looks back, they will find that Real Madrid has taken on a completely new look.
It's completely different from the disintegrating Real Madrid team when Gao Shen took over.
This Real Madrid team has no shortage of personal abilities, imaginative and creative geniuses. At the same time, they play a very integrated game and have very comprehensive technical and tactical characteristics.
“This is a very championship-looking team!”
"To this day, I don't even doubt that a sophisticated team can achieve the goals he set."
"At the same time, what I'm more looking forward to is, how far can this team go? Where is its limit?"
De La Morena believes that with the current situation in La Liga, it will be difficult for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to snipe Real Madrid. The key lies in who will make mistakes earlier and fall behind faster.
The season is very long, no one can explain this clearly.
Especially the upcoming national team match day.
"Last season, the absence of Marcelo and Arbeloa caused huge losses to Real Madrid and had a huge impact."
"As a giant with many international players, Real Madrid must be cautious on every national team match day."
De La Morena believes that no matter what, the current Real Madrid team is really mature and has shown amazing combat effectiveness. It is not only the most popular team in La Liga but also in the Champions League.
In any championship competition, Real Madrid is an unavoidable name.
"Perhaps what can stop Gao Shen and Real Madrid now is the schedule and time."
