In Gao Shen's previous life, many Ronaldo fans liked to argue, who is better in terms of talent between Ronaldo and Messi?
He didn't understand. What was there to argue about?
Isn't it obvious that Messi has better talent and superior skills?
Cristiano Ronaldo has been able to compete with Argentinian geniuses for so many years with less talent than Messi. This is the most valuable thing about Cristiano Ronaldo and the most respectable thing about him. Why do some Cristiano Ronaldo fans just can't see it and are unwilling to admit it?
Throughout the ages, how many people in world football have been as paranoid and almost masochistic as Cristiano Ronaldo?
How many people can achieve the self-discipline that Ronaldo has for decades?
The answer is, no!
Therefore, over the years, when cultivating players, senior players have never used Ronaldo's self-discipline and diligence as a reference, because he, like Messi, belongs to other people's children.
But there is nothing you can do about your own children, they must be strictly supervised.
Di Maria undoubtedly falls into this category.
If you tighten your grip, your grades will go up; if you relax a little, your grades will fall.
Gao Shen not only set a goal for Di Maria, but also put higher demands on him in training, including shooting training and a series of other aspects.
The day after playing for Manchester United, Gao Shen once again took time to have a long conversation with Di Maria.
Starting from the doubts from the outside media and fans, Di Maria was aroused, and then combined with his own situation, he gave targeted strategies and incentives, and finally made the Argentinian feel that he had a lot to do.
Therefore, Di Maria naturally agreed to Gao Shen's request and performed particularly hard in training.
Even in the gym, which he usually resisted the most, he gritted his teeth and persisted.
…
Three days later, in the 8th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged LaVante away.
In consecutive games against Atletico Madrid and Manchester United, Gao Shen made significant rotations in this game.
As a result, in the first half, the two sides played to a score of zero to zero, with no one able to score the opponent's goal.
Real Madrid's performance has also declined significantly, and its offense is also lackluster.
In the 60th minute, Gao Shen replaced Di Maria.
After coming on the field, Di Maria touched the ball for the first time and formed a beautiful pass on the right wing, creating a corner kick opportunity near the baseline.
Di Maria personally took the penalty, quickly took the corner kick, and accurately landed at the back point. Ramos stabbed it from close range, opening the scoring for Real Madrid, one to zero!
Just 4 minutes later, Real Madrid attacked again. Di Maria's shot from the right hit the side net directly, missing a good scoring opportunity.
But in the 70th minute, Di Maria made a steal in the frontcourt and passed the ball out. Benzema took advantage of the situation and hit back. The Argentine winger broke into the right side of the penalty area and passed the ball. Marcelo, who followed up from behind, easily swiped the ball.
Scored the goal, two to zero!
The Argentine played 10 minutes and scored two goals for Real Madrid.
Subsequently, Di Maria continuously created opportunities, and he also had opportunities to kick the ball, but he failed to score.
Until the 90th minute, Varane first sent a wonderful pass, and substitute Mo Alata scored with a low shot, extending the score to 3-0. In stoppage time, Modric sent a wonderful pass, and Dimari scored
After an emergency stop on the right side of the penalty area, he took out a curve ball with his left foot and penetrated Laiwante's goal, expanding the score to 4-0!
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Levante 4-0 away from home.
Because Barcelona relied on Sanchez's brace and Neymar's goal to reverse Valladolid 4-1 at home, Real Madrid and Barcelona still have the same points, and both teams have maintained their eight-game winning streak.
Real Madrid currently leads the La Liga standings with its goal difference advantage.
Atletico Madrid relied on Diego Costa's brace to defeat Celta Vigo 2-1.
…
After Real Madrid played against LaVante, although Di Maria came on as a substitute and was not selected as the best player in the game, in fact, he was indeed Real Madrid's best player and the most threatening player on the court.
Major Spanish and European media were full of praise for Di Maria's performance.
In particular, he was highly praised for his consecutive goals and assists.
Whether it was against Manchester United or this match against LaVante, the Argentinian's performance was world-class.
Gao Shen even praised Di Maria, thinking that the Argentinian had given an excellent performance, but also firmly believed that he could go further, especially his scoring ability.
"He could be even hornier!"
Di Maria also made a rare statement, saying that he was very happy after hearing the head coach's evaluation and hoped that he could meet the head coach's expectations.
"I will work harder and try not to disappoint our boss!"
After playing against LaVante, La Liga was suspended again, ushering in two weeks of national team matches.
Facing the test of FIFA virus again, Gao Shen had to be more cautious.
Especially after Real Madrid players have experienced a continuous intensive schedule, everyone's physical condition is not as good as at the beginning of the season, the game consumes more, and the risk of injury is also greater.
The coaching staff has always maintained close contact with the national team where the international players are playing, and the logistics support work has been perfect, striving to ensure that the players can go safely and come back intact.
After playing against LaVante, Real Madrid also had a two-day holiday.
Gao Shen took time out of his busy schedule to go north to England.
…
The title of infrastructure madman is not particularly obvious now, but the infrastructure construction capabilities of Chinese construction companies are obvious to all.
When Gao Shen came to the construction site of the new training base in the city center, he was very moved when he saw the busy construction scene.
In the past six months, the framework of the training base has been basically completed, the office building has been capped, and the suspension bridge connecting various functional areas has been completed, and the progress is even ahead of schedule.
Preliminary estimates suggest that this training base will be almost ready for use after the end of this season, and Leeds United will begin preparations to move into the new training base by then.
As for Leeds United's administrative offices, it cannot be ruled out earlier.
Gao Shen and Su Qing, accompanied by Fernando Lucas, Borrell and others, as well as the head of the Chinese engineering team, inspected the construction site and were very satisfied with the quality, materials and workmanship.
According to the Chinese person in charge, they built the Leeds United training base with the determination to create a benchmark project. It can be said that they strive for excellence and are meticulous.
The roof of Leeds United's indoor football stadium uses a single-layer etfe membrane, which is the same material as the roof of the new stadium designed by Norman Foster. However, this time it was handed over to a domestic company, which
He participated in the construction of projects such as the Water Cube and is very experienced in this area.
It's just that the materials used by Leeds United this time are more demanding. After all, the lighting conditions of the grass and so on have to be taken into consideration.
Gao Shen had a meal with the Chinese team, mainly to communicate about the progress of the project and some matters, and to look forward to the possibility of cooperation on future new stadium projects.
The total project budget of the new training base, including the municipal park, is only about 80 million pounds, but the total budget of Leeds United's new stadium land project is more than ten times that of the training base project at the most conservative estimate.
This is already considered a major project.
China is very interested and hopes to further cooperate.
Of course, such a major project cannot be settled in a few words, a few meals, or even privately between Leeds United and the Chinese company. This requires communication and negotiation at the government level of the two countries.
There are also quotes from Chinese companies.
After lunch, Gao Shen and his party went to the hotel for a short rest, and then went to the Elland Road Stadium for a meeting.
Lucas reported on the latest investment promotion progress, mainly the signing of two sponsorship contracts in Asia, but what really caught Gao Shen's attention was that the Leeds United team was in contact with three companies in the United States.
One is a well-known insurance company, and the other two are Internet companies, which are actually Youtu Turtle and Amazon.
"Are these two companies interested in naming our new stadium?" Gao Shen was really surprised.
"In recent years, Youtu Turtle has set up a sports section, especially football, and attaches great importance to investment in this area. Amazon also attaches great importance to sports resources. I also received news that Facebook also plans to enter the sports industry.
." Lucas introduced.
Gao Shen was not surprised.
He still remembered that before he traveled through his past life, he had heard that the oil country, Amazon and Facebook were all competing for sports broadcast rights and sports resources, with the purpose of grabbing market share.
There was also a report at that time that it was because sports programs were more user-friendly.
Everyone knows that Internet companies attach great importance to user stickiness, and Amazon and Facebook are no exception.
The biggest difference between Leeds United and other European teams is that it is an out-and-out internet celebrity and its results are quite good.
For example, in the Premier League this season, Leeds United is still ranked fifth after selling for 300 million euros.
In the just-concluded seventh round of the Premier League, Leeds United defeated Swansea 2-0 and moved one step further up the league rankings, even one position higher than Tottenham Hotspur.
After Manchester United's disastrous defeat at the Bernabeu, they returned to the Premier League and narrowly defeated Black Cat Sunderland 2-1 in an away game, rising to 9th in the league rankings.
With the combination of Internet celebrity brands, powerful Premier League teams, and world-class designers like Norman Foster, the new stadium can attract the attention of Internet companies such as Amazon and Amazon who are interested in sports resources.
Not surprising either.
"It's just the initial contact right now, and we haven't written a word yet, but they are indeed interested, and we are also considering our goals. If we can sign this sponsorship, it will be a huge help to us."
Lucas smiled and analyzed, "Moreover, for Internet companies, this sponsorship fee is nothing at all. Compared with their sky-high marketing budgets and promotion expenses every year, it is a drop in the bucket."
Gao Shen understood what Lucas said. If we could really negotiate, that would be the best.
But how easy is it?
Compared with wealthy teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and even Real Madrid, Leeds United's biggest advantage now is its Internet celebrity brand, Internet marketing capabilities, and its new stadium.
Old stadiums are burdensome, but Leeds United is different. With the new stadium, everything starts over, which is good for sponsoring companies.
For example, Bayern's Allianz Arena and Arsenal's Emirates Stadium are firmly tied together and are mentioned all the time.
