Carlo sat on the soft sofa, staring directly at the TV in front of him, his whole body tense.
From the start of the game, he never relaxed for a moment.
Since the last round of La Liga games kicked off at the same time, the TV station chose the most watched away game against Sevilla for the live broadcast, but from time to time it would include footage and score reports of Barcelona's away game against Athletic Bilbao.
Before this game, many people thought that Real Madrid might give up the game.
When the starting list came out, more people thought so. Even the live broadcast commentator was puzzled, thinking that Real Madrid intended to stay focused on the Champions League final and strategically gave up on this game.
But only Carlo knew that Gao Shen never thought of giving up from beginning to end.
That night, Gao Shen told him clearly that if he gave up the Sevilla game, he would lose the Champions League final without even playing.
Carlo thought so.
But he didn't expect that Gao Shen would arrange such a starting lineup, especially letting Arbeloa play as left back.
Players such as Baptista and Pablo Garcia appeared, which is not surprising at all.
Before joining Real Madrid, Baptista was Sevilla's top scorer, and Pablo Garcia was Osasuna's midfield barrier. Gao Shen arranged for these two players to play against Sevilla.
No problems at all.
But Arbeloa plays on the left, is this reliable?
As the game began, Arbeloa quickly showed his versatility.
Gradually, he even made many people forget that he was actually a right back.
Because he didn't show any discomfort on the left, but seemed to be very familiar with this position and had played for a long time.
Carlo was surprised, but he knew that some players were like this.
For example, Zambrotta of Juventus and Lahm of Bayern Munich.
But no one thought that Arbeloa actually had this side.
So Carlo felt relieved.
As long as Sevilla's right wing is frozen, Real Madrid's defensive pressure will be greatly reduced, and there will be a chance to counterattack and score.
Sure enough, just five minutes into the game, Real Madrid scored.
Who would have thought of this?
Not to mention Carlo, even the most optimistic and optimistic people about Real Madrid probably could not have imagined that the goal would come so quickly.
The live TV broadcast interrupted the Barcelona game and found that it was still zero to zero.
Even after five minutes of play, Barcelona had not even had a shot on goal.
"Barcelona was a little passive in the situation." The TV commentator analyzed the situation in the previous five minutes.
But soon, the scene cut back to Pizjuan Stadium.
Carlo also kept praying in his heart. As long as he maintained this goal advantage, Real Madrid would have a chance.
Barcelona's side is still zero to zero.
He kept shouting in his heart that Real Madrid should be stable and defend.
Sevilla once launched a counterattack and created dangerous situations, but it was never able to break through Real Madrid's goal.
After being coached by Gao Shen, Real Madrid's defense is becoming stronger and stronger, and the results are reflected at this time.
Sevilla failed to break through Real Madrid's goal. Instead, Real Madrid's quick counterattack penetrated the defense again.
Felipe drove straight in and fired furiously, causing Palop to lose his hand.
Ronaldo, who was close at hand, got the ball past the goalkeeper and volleyed into an empty goal.
Two to zero!
Carlo jumped up from his seat with excitement.
He saw that Gao Shen was even more excited than him and rushed out of the coaching area to celebrate the goal with the players.
Oh my god, two goals!
Carlo is so excited!
He didn't expect that Real Madrid would play so steadily and perform so well tonight.
He even had a feeling that even if Real Madrid didn't win the championship tonight, no one would blame Gao Shen.
Because it's not his fault.
He lost to Barcelona because of Luxembourg's game of 0-3.
Based on his performance alone, he completely defeated Barcelona.
But Gao Shen was still not satisfied. After he was shown a yellow card by the referee, he still kept calling on the players on the sidelines.
No one knew what he was shouting, but he probably wanted to be steady or something like that.
With a two-goal advantage in hand, there is really no need to fight Sevilla at this time.
If you can win reliably, it's better to save some energy.
At this time, the TV live broadcast also switched to Barcelona, and found that it was still zero to zero.
Barcelona's performance improved from the start, but they still failed to score Athletic Bilbao's goal.
"Barcelona can't open up the situation offensively."
When Carlo heard the commentator's analysis, he thought of Rijkaard's formation and a series of actions before the game, including interference and pressure from the media.
At least Rijkaard didn't play Xavi or Iniesta.
Suddenly, Carlo had a feeling, would Barcelona be equal?
But this idea only lasted less than ten minutes.
When Real Madrid counterattacked again but failed to score, the TV live broadcast suddenly switched to Barcelona.
The live broadcast camera was focused on the back of Athletic Bilbao's No. 15 player. He was excitedly rushing out of the stadium, shouting all the way, and the entire San Mames Stadium also burst into thunderous cheers.
"Elora, Elora!!!"
"In the 36th minute, Elara broke the deadlock for Athletic Bilbao!"
The live TV footage replayed the entire scoring process.
After Athletic Bilbao stole the ball in midfield, they quickly launched a counterattack.
Llorente used himself as a fulcrum at the front of the penalty area, received the ball and sent a wonderful pass behind his back.
This is already the second time he has sent a pass to Elora in this game.
This is definitely a counterattack routine carefully prepared by Athletic Bilbao before the game.
Last time, Elora's shot was blocked by Valdez, but this time, Elara calmly seized the opportunity.
One to zero!
Carlo was shocked!
He even forgot to celebrate, forgot to cheer, forgot to react.
He just stared at the TV, his mind went blank, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Athletic Bilbao scored?
…………
…………
In a mansion on the outskirts of Madrid, Florentino couldn't help but stand up from his seat.
Just now, Baptista and Ronaldo's goals didn't make him stand up, but Athletic Bilbao's goal made him stand up from the sofa with disbelief on his face.
Oh my god, Athletic Bilbao is ahead!
The former chairman of Real Madrid pointed to the TV and turned to look at personal assistant Manuel Redondo. He couldn't believe it and wanted to ask, is this true?
But he was speechless for a long time.
Redondo was already beaming with joy. He was full of surprises and surprises. He couldn't help nodding.
A few seconds later, he shouted loudly: "Barcelona lost the ball! Barcelona lost the ball!!!"
Florentino woke up with a start and sat back on the sofa, only to find that he couldn't help but laugh.
This surprise came so unexpectedly!
…………
…………
At this moment, countless media and fans around the world saw Barcelona's goal.
Real Madrid led by two goals, while Barcelona trailed 0-1.
There is no need to say what this means, everyone knows it.
People who understand all this are extremely shocked and excited at this moment. Even though they may not be Real Madrid fans, this does not prevent them from being excited for this moment at all.
From being ten points behind, they kept chasing all the way until the last round of the game. They finally withstood the pressure and finally had the chance to reverse course!
The TV camera, which was broadcast live to the whole world, switched to Pizjuan Stadium again.
The game continues.
Real Madrid still leads by two goals and is struggling with Sevilla.
The live TV camera showed the visiting team's coach's bench on the sidelines. Gao Shen suddenly clenched his fists and wanted to shout out with great excitement, but he held back.
His hands were shaking violently, and the expression on his face became a little ferocious due to excitement, but he gradually calmed down, taking deep breaths constantly, trying to calm himself down.
Then, he walked to the sidelines and stood in the command area again, very upright, like a lighthouse standing on the rocks by the sea.
Even the commentator on the live TV broadcast was so excited that he lost his voice, but after seeing Gao Shen's reaction, he had to praise with admiration: "He is right, the game is not over yet, and he has no reason to be excited at this time.
"
"Sevilla is not a weakling. As long as Real Madrid shows the slightest slack, they may be attacked by the opponent at any time. Barcelona is the strongest team in Europe today. When they react, they may break through or even reverse Bilbao at any time.
The goal of competition.”
"It's not the time to celebrate yet, the game is not over yet, and the suspense of the La Liga championship has not been finally settled."
"Gao Shen showed a calmness that is very rare for a mature head coach. He even controlled his excitement, which I admire very much."
…………
…………
Gao Shen chose cold treatment!
Although he was extremely excited, he didn't show it at all.
The first half ended with a score of 2-0. As usual, he went to the sidelines to shake hands and hug the players, then sent them into the tunnel and into the locker room.
Real Madrid's coaching staff and staff also received profound instructions, and they all took a cold approach. Even when the players asked about the score, they just replied that Barcelona was temporarily behind, and then did not forget to add, we must win!
Yes, Barcelona's lagging behind is only temporary.
But Real Madrid must win!
When Gao Shen walked into the locker room, the first thing he did was to praise the players for their performance in the first half. He was also satisfied with the 2-0 result, but he also reminded everyone that Real Madrid must maintain the advantage of these two goals.
"There is still the second half, everything may change. The only thing that will not change is that only by winning can we have a chance to win the championship!"
Gao Shen warned the players to put away all their daydreams and focus on the game.
Gao Shen had already communicated this situation with the players before the game and emphasized it repeatedly in the locker room.
Real Madrid took a two-goal lead, but it was unstable. Barcelona was temporarily behind, which was unreliable because there was still the second half.
The Real Madrid players also knew before the game that they might be in such a situation, and they were mentally prepared for it.
Don't think about anything and keep focusing on the game!
Whether we can win the championship or not will be decided after we win this game.
