Ever since they learned that Napoli was drawn in the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid fans felt very confused and anxious.
Since Vicente del Bosque, no other coach has been as respected and loved by Real Madrid fans as Gao Shen.
Because he has actually won a championship for Real Madrid, and he is also a double champion of the league and the Champions League.
When Gao Shen was in office, they did not give him the respect of a head coach, which made many Real Madrid fans regret it.
Many people even think that Gao Shen was forced to leave by Real Madrid fans.
Speaking of which, many people may not believe that most of the coaches who have been fired by Real Madrid in the past few years have fared worse than when they coached at Real Madrid.
From Antic to Benhak in the early 1990s, and later to Valdano, Heynckes led the team to win the Champions League, but most fans can't tell where they are coaching now.
As for Hiddink, although he was in the semi-finals of the Champions League with Eindhoven, he was more in the national team, such as the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, but I believe everyone knows how important this result is.
After that, Toshack, Bosque, Queiroz, Camacho, Luxenberg...
Capello has been relatively successful since leaving Real Madrid. He has won championships with Roma and Juventus, but his coaching career has not reached a higher level than when he coached Real Madrid.
Over the years, all Real Madrid fans have formed a habit.
The peak period of a player's career is in Real Madrid; the peak period of a coach's coaching career is also in Real Madrid!
It is in this subtle atmosphere that Real Madrid fans begin to have mysterious confidence in the team, so they always demand that the team not only win, but also play well.
Real Madrid is the most unique team in world football, and they are also the most discerning fans in the world.
But now, something unexpected happened.
In the past many years, only Real Madrid has fired its head coach, and they have never been fired by their head coach.
The reason is what I just said, all head coaches regard coaching Real Madrid as the pinnacle of their lives.
But Gao Shen became the first!
At the age of 25, he led Real Madrid to win the double crown. Gao Shen became famous in one fell swoop. He not only conquered his opponents and players on the court, but also conquered the discerning Real Madrid fans.
However, just when everyone thought that he would definitely stay at Real Madrid, Gao Shen resolutely chose to leave.
What he said in the Champions League final still shocks countless people.
For this reason, the predecessor Martin was criticized verbally and physically by Real Madrid fans and ended his tenure in despair.
If Gao Shen, like all Real Madrid coaches in the past ten or twenty years, begins to decline after leaving Real Madrid, then Real Madrid fans will feel better.
But who would have thought that after he left Real Madrid, his coaching career not only did not go downhill, but instead broadened and reached higher and higher.
In 2006, when he led the team to win the double championship, he received many doubts.
When everyone mentions the Double Champion, the first thing they think of is the Real Madrid superstar.
Head coach?
nonexistent.
In Real Madrid, it is never the head coach who plays the leading role.
But after leaving Real Madrid, Gao Shen jumped from the top of European football to coach a newly promoted Serie B team.
At that time, this was a joke that everyone laughed at.
How many people are laughing at Gao Shen for being crazy, how many people are mocking him for money, how many people predict that his coaching career will be scrapped... But now, he has led the Napoli team to perform the miracle of winning the newly promoted team for two consecutive years, which is history.
Successfully entered the Champions League and reached the front of Real Madrid.
It was as if he was using this heavy report card to tell the world: He, the masterful double champion, never relied on Real Madrid. On the contrary, it was Real Madrid who relied on him to win the double crown!
He was the first ex to make Real Madrid fans regret it.
He was also the first of his predecessors to scare Real Madrid fans.
He is the first predecessor who makes all Real Madrid fans look forward to returning to coach.
Capello said that Real Madrid is like a scumbag who plays with the emotions and bodies of all the head coaches before ruthlessly abandoning them. However, as long as Real Madrid curls their fingers a little bit, the head coaches will come back one after another.
He came closer eagerly.
If, according to what Capello said, then now, Real Madrid, this scumbag, is trapped.
He met the goddess in his heart.
He pursues her hard, but the other person seems to be far away from him.
Real Madrid fans are very worried.
All fans who have gone through those few months in 2006 will never forget the legends created by Gao Shen.
On the road leading to the double championship, every game is still talked about by countless fans and media.
And no one knows, can Real Madrid be able to withstand such a terrifying situation?
…………
…………
Before leaving for Madrid, Gao Shen held a pre-match press conference in Castel Volturno.
In addition to announcing the 18-man roster for the away game as usual, Gao Shen also specifically accepted interviews with media reporters.
This is the first time he faces his old club after leaving Real Madrid. The media and fans are also very interested and want to know what Gao Shen thinks of this game.
Gao Shen said frankly, "This is a very wonderful feeling, but I am a professional coach."
Real Madrid has been criticized a lot by the outside world this season.
In the past two years, neither Capello nor Schuster nor Gao Shen commented.
But now that the game is approaching, Gao Shen has to mention his own players back then.
He believes that the ones who need to be most vigilant against Real Madrid are Raul, Guti and Ramos.
"Raul is the spiritual leader and flag of Real Madrid. He is also the active player with the most goals in the history of the Champions League. He has extremely rich experience in the Champions League. We must find a way to effectively defend him."
"Guti is one of the most creative players I have ever seen. He is always able to bring surprises and surprises to people on the court. Such a player is dangerous at any time."
Ramos has received a lot of criticism this season.
Gao Shen believes that all accusations against Ramos are unfair.
"I know Ramos. He was once the best player at Real Madrid, but I don't know why he gets so much criticism. It doesn't fit with my impression of him. I think he is a very high-level player."
He's a centre-back but some people think he should be on the right, which I can't understand."
In addition, Gao Shen also complained about his former players. He couldn't believe why De La Rede, Arbeloa and Juan Mata could not play the main role in Real Madrid. This is absolutely outrageous.
of.
"In fact, I can say that they are capable of playing the main role in any team in the world. There is absolutely no problem with this, but I don't understand why they can't play in Real Madrid?"
"So is it they who can't do it? Or is it Real Madrid who can't do it?"
Gao Shen believes that this is a question that needs to be considered.
Regarding the visit to the Bernabeu, Gao Shen said that his team will not play conservatively.
"That's not our style."
"Even if we are facing Real Madrid, we still have to stick to our own style and play our football!"
"I want to say to all Real Madrid fans that Real Madrid will always be the most special to me, but I am a professional coach, and my mission is to lead Naples to try my best to defeat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium!"
"I hope this is a competition at the highest level in European football!"
…
Gao Shen's speech at Fort Volturno spread quickly.
When Napoli quietly arrived in Madrid the night before the game, many Real Madrid fans rushed to the airport to greet them. Many of them held up photos of Gao Shen leading Real Madrid to win the double crown.
"Gao, welcome home!"
"We will always wait for you!"
"Please come back, Gao!"
"Real Madrid needs you! We need you!"
Gao Shen was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
He never expected that he would still be so popular in Real Madrid.
Zidane is another one who has become a hit with Real Madrid fans and is now Goshen's right-hand man.
There are also Parejo and Callejon in the Naples team. They are both former Real Madrid players, but they are now playing in Naples and they are both performing very well.
Tonight, Gao Shen brought them all to Madrid and included them in the squad.
Until he got on the team bus and left the Madrid Capital Airport, Gao Shen was still immersed in the touching scene where Real Madrid fans greeted him. Hundreds of Real Madrid fans were present.
Gao Shen stared blankly at the night view of Madrid outside the car window. The lights were dim, especially the four-tower commercial district after the renovation of the old Real Madrid Stadium, which is now the most prosperous and lively commercial center in Madrid.
Florentino also relied on the Madrid government's planning and strategizing to help Real Madrid reverse the debt crisis and create the Galacticos era.
But now, Real Madrid is no longer in the Galactico era.
Zidane was sitting next to Gao Shen. He watched Gao Shen stare blankly out of the window. He could read Gao Shen's mind.
Everyone will miss a certain stage of life particularly.
For example, Zidane, the best stage of his career, apart from the national team, was at Real Madrid.
He believes that Gao Shen will also miss his time at Real Madrid.
That team and that group of people are destined to become the most unique landscape in the history of world football.
"Have you ever thought about coming back?" Zidane asked suddenly.
In the past two years or so, the chairman of Real Madrid has invited Gao Shen many times, but he rejected them all.
Zidane also knew that Florentino planned to run for president again this summer, and just two days ago, when the coaching staff held a meeting to study how to deal with Real Madrid, Florentino made a phone call to Gao Shen.
Is Gao Shen coming back?
"It's not the time yet." Gao Shen said with a faint smile.
Zidane was stunned for a moment, but he did not ask when he would wait, because after playing football for many years, he knew very well that timing is often something that he cannot control.
Even, it may never appear.
"Florentino asked me to have dinner with him at noon tomorrow." Gao Shen turned to look at Zidane and smiled.
