With nearly half an hour before the start of the game, Florentino's special car took Gao Shen and his party directly to the special channel of the Bernabeu Stadium. Real Madrid Vice Chairman Butragueno and Florentino's personal assistant Manu
El Redondo greeted him personally.
This is a passage specially provided for VIPs in private boxes. It is equipped with an independent parking lot. From here, you can go directly to the private box without worrying about being seen or photographed.
Gao Shen smiled and shook hands and hugged Butragueno and Redondo, feeling excited about seeing each other again after a long separation.
This is the place where his dream began. He has a special feeling for this stadium and this group of people.
"Come on, let's go in." Butragueno led the way.
In fact, Gao Shen just made a phone call to him and asked for three tickets. The purpose was to spy on the situation in Rome nearby.
In recent times, Spalletti has become more and more proficient in this sophisticated style of play. The 4-2-3 formation has become more and more exciting in Rome, and his performance is also very good. In the last round, he defeated Parma 4-0.
.
The limelight is not as high and profound, but it is quite rare.
After defeating Real Madrid 2-1 at home and now visiting the Bernabeu, Gao Shen will definitely want to spy on the situation in Rome nearby.
After Butragueno received Gao Shen's call, he thought about it and immediately called Florentino, because the latter always had a private box at the Bernabeu. When Florentino heard this, he immediately made the decision.
, let Gao Shen go directly to his private box to watch the game, and even arranged for his own driver to pick him up at the airport.
So the current scene appeared.
…
The journey to the private box was smooth, but the first person Gao Shen saw was not Florentino.
It was King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
The door of the king's box was open. As soon as he saw Gao Shen approaching, he immediately called to him.
"Gao, welcome back to the Bernabeu!" The king happily shook hands and hugged Gao Shen.
"I and all Real Madrid fans miss you very much. You know, after wandering away for a long time, you should still go home. We are all waiting for your return!"
Gao Shen smiled and did not answer immediately.
From Butragueno to Juan Carlos, it seems that Gao Shen is going home when he returns to the Bernabeu. This in itself proves that they are very dissatisfied with the current situation of Real Madrid and are not satisfied with what Gao Shen has achieved since leaving Real Madrid.
The achievement is quite recognized.
This in turn proves that Gao Shen's original choice was right.
If he does poorly outside, this group of friends at Real Madrid will definitely still welcome him, but it will never be like this.
"It's quite easy to ask me to come back. You just have to fulfill your original promise." Gao Shen said jokingly.
At the beginning, Juan Carlos I promised to give up the throne to Gao Shen.
Otherwise, the thickness of face of politicians is immeasurable?
After listening to Gao Shen's words, the King of Spain also laughed out loud, "Do you still remember?"
"I dare not forget such an important thing."
Then?
Then he stopped mentioning it and turned to talking about him.
For example, I was concerned about Gao Shen's girlfriend and said that he is still single.
The whole world knows how romantic the King of Spain is. He urged Gao Shen to find a girlfriend quickly, "Our Spanish women are pretty good, you can consider it."
Gao Shen smiled bitterly in his heart.
What a matchmaker who was delayed by the throne.
…
Florentino was not alone in his box either.
Zidane and Valdano, who had just met in Naples two days ago, were there, as well as several vice-presidents from when Florentino was the chairman of Real Madrid. Except for Martin, everyone else was there.
Obviously, these are Florentino's team.
They are all old friends. When we met and exchanged polite greetings, Real Madrid's current chairman Calderon and general manager Mijatovic also came. They all came for the knowledge.
This is the weight of a double crown!
From the day Gao Shen won the Double for Real Madrid, he was destined to be recorded in the history of Real Madrid.
Although he only led the team for a few months, these two championships and his coaching achievements after leaving Real Madrid have made him a decisive force that cannot be ignored by the current Real Madrid management.
If nothing else, Gao Shen only needs to blast Real Madrid with a few words in the media, and they will get into trouble.
Of course, since leaving Real Madrid, Gao Shen has managed the relationship with them quite well, but has always kept a distance from them.
Obviously, Gao Shen is not willing to get involved in Real Madrid's power struggle.
Although there have been rumors outside that Florentino wants to get rid of Calderon, in fact, when the two met, they were like good friends who had known each other for many years, hugging each other warmly and caring for each other.
People must think he is a tough guy.
Gao Shen is also used to this.
Calderon is really not as cowardly as the outside world has said, but his own strength is not enough for him to control Real Madrid, so he needs to rely on various forces, which forces him to decentralize power, and finally it becomes what it is now.
.
If he is really a coward, can he become the chairman of Real Madrid?
None of these guys who were elected are fuel-efficient.
For example, in the future, Comrade Jianguo will be ridiculed all over.
...Quail
The president of Real Madrid is like this, and so are the players.
As a time traveler who came here in 2021, Gao Shen knows very well that Roma midfielder Aquilani is a parallel import, and a big parallel import. Benitez and Liverpool even gave up Xavi Alonso for him.
What a stupid decision!
As a result, this guy still refused to be kicked out.
He didn't perform well in the Premier League, and then he still didn't perform well in Serie A. Isn't this parallel import?
However, in this game at the Bernabeu, Aquilani really showed a very surprising level.
Midfield organization, passing, forward movement and defense...
The double defensive midfielder he and De Rossi really suppressed Real Madrid's midfield.
Not only could he pass the ball, Aquilani also hit the post of Real Madrid's goal with a long shot from 30 meters away in the 18th minute.
Roma took complete control of the game at the start of the first half, and Aquilani was indispensable.
At this time, Aquilani did have the potential to become the world's top midfielder, and he was only 23 years old. Spalletti supported him to replace Pizarro and become Roma's main force.
"This guy is really good!" Gao Shen couldn't help but praise.
You can tell whether he is a good player or not by looking at him.
"He has strong offensive ability, covers a wide area, can attack, defend, pass and shoot. The key is that he can also control the situation and rhythm on the court and become the brains of Rome. This is what Real Madrid needs now." Valdano sighed.
road.
Tonight, Real Madrid coach Schuster used Guti and Gago as midfield organizers, but the two together are not as good as Aquilani, which shows the excellence of Roma's midfield.
In contrast, Real Madrid's current situation really disappoints Gao Shen.
Under the coaching of Capello and Schuster, Ramos was pulled to the right wing and Arbeloa became the substitute. In this game, Ramos was absent and Arbeloa was in poor condition.
Elgado starts.
The central defenders are Cannavaro and Pepe. Felipe on the left was sold in the summer of 2007 and became Heinze.
De La Red can no longer play as the main force. Mohamed Diarra and Gago have become the main players. De La Red, a more comprehensive player, is not liked by the head coach.
And in the frontcourt, Juan Mata can't play the ball either.
The four midfielders Schuster arranged for this game were Diarra, Guti, Gago and Baptista, and the two forwards were Raul and Robinho.
If nothing else, it's amazing that this lineup can suppress Roma.
Spalletti sent out all his main players to fight.
The goalkeeper is Doni, the defense is Tonetto, Juan, Mexes and Cicinho, the double midfielders are Aquilani and De Rossi, and the front is Mancini, Perrotta and Taddei.
, the forward is Totti.
The most important thing is that Ruud van Nistelrooy, Robben and Sneijder are all injured and absent, so Real Madrid's starlight has dimmed a lot.
But Gao Shen believes that even if these two players play, the scene will not look much better.
Because the midfielder completely lost ground.
"Aquilani is like a vigorous cheetah. When he runs, he looks a little slow, but he can always accelerate suddenly, often unexpectedly, and create stunning scenes." Valdano admired.
Gao Shen fully agrees.
Aquilani's strength and potential can indeed replace Xavi Alonso, so it is understandable that Benitez spent a lot of money to buy him to replace the Spanish midfielder.
But who would have thought that Aquilani would eventually become a big parallel importer?
Perhaps, if he does not go to Liverpool and stays in Serie A, even if he cannot compete with Pirlo, he will still be a rare midfield general, especially when paired with De Rossi.
It’s all fate!
"Robinho can't win this lottery ticket." Gao Shen shook his head and sighed.
Back then, when Robinho landed in European football, he was even hailed as the new Pele, but now he is 24 years old. When Real Madrid was in trouble, he did not perform as well as he should, and his career was only
That’s it.
This cannot be entirely blamed on Robinho. After all, Real Madrid has been too turbulent in recent years and is really not suitable for training young players.
The media still regards him as Real Madrid's hope for the future, but only in the media. In reality, who would call a 24-year-old player the hope of the future?
Well, there should still be one or two teams.
…
In the end, Real Madrid lost to Roma 1-2 at home.
Raul scored a goal for Real Madrid when they were trailing 0-2, but this was unable to prevent the team from being eliminated.
Roma eliminated Real Madrid with a total score of 4 to 2 and successfully advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals.
Real Madrid has failed in the top 16 of the Champions League for two consecutive years.
From the double champion to the sixteenth player of the Champions League all of a sudden, the gap in the middle is still quite big.
The Bernabeu fans were also very dissatisfied with this. Gao Shen could even clearly hear that the Bernabeu fans were shouting his name, and some fans even directly raised his profile picture to show their anger at the current situation of the team.
This was the first time Gao Shen heard and saw with his own eyes how much the Bernabeu fans missed him. He was a little surprised at first and thought he had been recognized, but later he found out that he was not.
"It happens in almost every game now," Butragueno sighed.
The more Real Madrid fans miss Gao Shen, the more it proves the team's failure.
