Gao Shen thought for a while and decided to start with a story that he rarely told outsiders.
That is a story that is unbelievable to Europeans, even Zidane, who is of African descent.
A Chinese boy is ignorant and has never touched football. He doesn't even play football in physical education class because there is no field in the school.
It wasn't until the summer vacation of 1998 when he turned on the color TV set he had saved up to buy at home and saw a football match that he realized that it was called the World Cup.
At that World Cup, he met Ronaldo, Zidane, Beckham, Simeone, Owen... and there was also a leapfrog man, but he could never remember his name.
player of……
When he was in junior high school, he finally kicked a ball.
He made a group of friends who like to play football. Together they braved the scorching sun at noon to play football on the sand. From time to time, they would break their heads and bleed, causing them to cry in pain, but they would soon get up again and continue.
Kick.
In the end, the school leaders were forced to come forward and ban football on the playground at noon.
"He has imagined countless times that he is a super genius, but has been buried. One day, as written in the book, he will be selected by Bole scouts from Europe and go to Europe to play football with Zidane and others.
Ronaldo, compete with the best superstars and become the most shining star."
But later on, the pressure of study became great, and the time for playing football became less and less, and in the end, there was no time.
By the time he went to college, he had completely forgotten what it was like to play football.
Only when he occasionally saw a few pairs of cheap sneakers that were worn out in the shoe cabinet at home, as well as the ankles that sprained from time to time, did he remember that he once loved football so much.
Suddenly, one day, he didn't know what was going on and started thinking about some weird things.
When he goes to the canteen to buy breakfast in the morning, he will think: Does the aunt who sells breakfast in the canteen like cooking?
When taking a bus, he looks at the driver who is driving attentively, and wonders: Does this driver really like driving?
In the school classroom, looking at the teacher above who was frothing at the mouth, he would think: Does the teacher really like teaching?
He had many problems like this.
Almost every time he sees a person, he will ask such a question.
Does this person like his current job?
"You know, in my country, college students are actually very valuable, especially graduates from famous universities like him. Their futures are limitless. He has even planned which company he will go to after graduation.
, how much salary can you receive, then buy a car or a house, get a girlfriend, get married, have children, gain seniority, get promoted and get a salary increase..."
"All of these, he can imagine, and they will even become reality."
"Sometimes he wonders, maybe many, many years later, when he has five or six people in a company and looks like a successful person, will he really be happy? He will still remember,
Is it the same mood as when you and your friends were playing football on the hot sand under the bright sun?"
…
In fact, what Zidane said to Gao Shen is simply impossible to empathize with.
Because he has never experienced anything Gao Shen said.
But from his profound expression and tone, he could feel the sadness and helplessness.
In fact, he could feel that this was not someone else's story at all, but should be Gao Shen's own story.
He had seen profound reports.
He knew that Gao Shen was once a student at a famous Chinese university, but suddenly chose to study at Loughborough University in the UK.
And now, what Gao Shen is talking about should be the change in his thoughts during that period.
Therefore, Zidane listened very carefully.
…
Gao Shen is indeed completely integrated into his memory.
Not only what happened after he traveled through time, but also what happened before he traveled through time.
The two memories now completely overlap and gradually merge, becoming indistinguishable from each other.
This feeling is very strange, but it is real.
Gao Shen felt that he was a lucky man, both before and after the time travel.
Being a time traveler is a very lucky thing in itself, and he also traveled through time to become the head coach of Real Madrid and started his own vigorous life. What could be more lucky than this?
And when "he" was hesitating whether to turn his interest into a job or a career, he chose yes and resolutely went to the UK. This is also a blessing.
Especially the kind of support Su Qing gave him at the critical moment.
When he heard that the man chose to go to England, Zidane couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"She's such a good girl!"
Gao Shen smiled and nodded, "Yes, a very good girl!"
…
After listening to Gao Shen's story, the answer is actually obvious.
Gao Shen couldn't help but think of the conversation between Guardiola and Bielsa. It was obvious that Guardiola took a long time to accept this psychological change, so he was able to answer Bielsa directly.
But Zidane has not thought about it yet and is not ready yet.
"For me, football is a hobby. I think it is a very, very happy thing to be able to treat my hobby as my job. What is even happier is that it is full of challenges!"
Gao Shen said this and laughed confidently, "Since coaching Real Madrid, I have accepted challenges all the time. Countless people want to defeat me every day, and they will do whatever they can to defeat me. What I have to do is
Keep improving yourself and keep making sure that you are not defeated or knocked down by them."
"For me, this is a huge challenge, because I don't like losing, so I always want to win, which will bring me a lot of pressure, but it is happy."
…
Gao Shen couldn't remember how long he had been talking to Zidane.
In short, the French left satisfied.
It can be seen from the expression on his face that he came back with a lot of money and took away the secret that Gao Shen had hidden in his heart.
Gao Shen also gained further respect and admiration from Zidane, especially when the French bald man confided his truest thoughts to him, the two truly had a heart-to-heart relationship.
Zidane is very smart, but he actually has a lot of psychological baggage.
Therefore, before Gao Shen traveled through time and not long after he retired, there was news that Zidane was going to be the head coach, but it was always secretive, and there was never a single accurate word from those who wanted to reject the offer.
It was not until later, when Zidane became Ancelotti's assistant coach, that he truly made his decision.
At Zidane's level, his understanding of football, his tactical literacy, and even his ability to train players are basically not a big problem. The most important thing is whether he can adjust his identity and role changes.
Schuster obviously didn't adjust well.
Just like those words after the game.
As a player, it would be inappropriate for him to say this, but it is harmless. At most, he would be scolded for being a loudmouth and speaking out. But as the head coach of the team, he said it so unscrupulously, regardless of whether it was true or not, he would
Already lost.
There are also people like Maradona, Van Basten and others.
There is no doubt that they are all great stars, even the greatest legends of all time, and their understanding of football must be deeper than anyone else.
But they can't adjust their roles and don't know how to teach others to play football.
Gao Shen has always felt that people like Zidane and Guardiola, who have extremely high demands on themselves and have strong self-discipline, what they really need to do is to straighten out their own thoughts and ideas.
In other words, their biggest enemy is themselves.
Gao Shen's words were just to help Zidane understand himself better.
Now, he really feels a bit like Qi Xuanzong Bole!
Qi Xuanzong is afraid that he will be born early!
…
Real Madrid's coaching change caused a lot of fuss, but the next day, the results came out.
Youth director Michel replaced Schuster and became Real Madrid's firefighting coach.
Calderon, Mijatovic and captain Raul all attended the press conference for Michel's inauguration.
As a legend of the Five Eagles in the past, Real Madrid is also very supportive of Michel's work, hoping that he can lead the team out of the shadow of the disastrous defeat to Naples, regain form as soon as possible, and make a difference in La Liga and the Champions League.
.
Michel also said when he took office that the 7-0 loss to Naples was a thing of the past and Real Madrid had to look forward.
"We have reason to believe that Real Madrid is still one of the strongest teams in European football!"
Regarding Michel's efforts to save Real Madrid, the Spanish media are generally relatively optimistic, but the outside world has reservations. After all, many of Real Madrid's current problems cannot be solved by changing coaches.
But in La Liga, we should still be able to work harder.
As for the Champions League, after losing 7-0 in the first round, Bayern Munich defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 1-0 at home and ranked second in the group.
The Russian team ranks third, with Real Madrid at the bottom.
Although they have only played one round, Real Madrid's performance at the Bernabeu made people pessimistic about his ability to advance to the knockout rounds.
No matter how you look at it, this team doesn't seem to have the strength to stand out from the super death group.
Gao Shen did not comment on Michel's coaching of Real Madrid. He declined all questions related to Real Madrid and devoted himself to the team's training and preparations.
After playing Real Madrid, Serie A has a double match in a week, plus Bayern Munich will be at home in the second round of the Champions League group stage. This is still a very big test for Naples.
Not only Gao Shen did not dare to be careless, but everyone from the coaching staff to the team felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
No one wants to repeat the mistakes of last season, especially Buenaventura and Pintus. The two of them are working hard and do not dare to slack off in the slightest.
On the fourth day after returning from the Bernabeu, Naples set off again for the away game.
This time it was the third round of Serie A, and the team challenged Udinese away.
