This is how all the mainstream media understood Gao Shen’s words at the signing conference.
It's actually quite normal.
Nowadays, Real Madrid and Barcelona are like classmates in the same class. Barcelona got 90% in the exam, and Real Madrid got 80% in the exam. So Real Madrid said, I will work hard and strive to get 90% in the next exam, or even 90% in the exam.
It has to be better than Barcelona.
Doesn't this look okay?
It depends on where your butt is sitting.
AS and Marca both believed that Gao Shen continued the style of his last press conference, boldly shouted a bold slogan, and set a very exciting goal, which is to reverse Barcelona.
Note that this is a goal and a direction to work towards, but it does not necessarily mean success.
Therefore, the reaction of the two Real Madrid mouthpiece newspapers was relatively positive and enthusiastic. They believed that the Real Madrid head coach should have such courage and ambition. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of Real Madrid? How can he be worthy of such a luxurious lineup?
But if you sit on Barcelona's side, you will find that something is wrong.
For example, Catalonia's Daily Sports newspaper commented on the front page that Real Madrid's new head coach was playing a clumsy trick, trying to provoke Barcelona's anger and uneasiness through psychological tactics.
"But it's obvious that his methods are too immature and no one will be fooled."
Daily Sports also commented that Real Madrid is not qualified to challenge Barcelona, whether it is from the schedule, opponents, team status or even overall strength.
Trailing by ten points, with only twelve rounds left in the league, this is an almost insurmountable gap.
More importantly, Real Madrid still has the Champions League!
"Real Madrid relies on the old, weak, sick and disabled, and it is difficult to maintain a two-front battle. It is also trying to reverse the standings. This is simply a joke. It is the same as Real Madrid hiring a 25-year-old rookie to coach.
joke!"
"If this young rookie coach thinks that his words can shake Barcelona's military morale, then he is really too ignorant and too ridiculous."
Another Barcelona mouthpiece, World Sports News, also believes that this is a not clever trick played by Gao Shen, and it is also a very dangerous move.
"He is trying to provoke confrontation between players and fans on both sides. This is not a good sign!"
World Sports believes that Barcelona is the best and greatest team in La Liga and even European football in the past two or three years. Frank Rijkaard created the Dream Team, and Ronaldinho even won two consecutive World Football Championships.
Sir, I won a European Ballon d'Or. To put it bluntly, the world football in the past two years belongs to Barcelona.
"Real Madrid and its stars are in the past and they must try to learn to accept reality!"
Mundo Deportivo believes that what Barcelona should do most now is not to engage in treacherous tricks, but to focus on its own game, continue to maintain the state of La Liga's rapid progress, win the La Liga championship in advance, and make Real Madrid completely despair.
At the same time, in the Champions League, Barcelona must continue to work hard to win a Champions League championship.
In the Champions League, Barcelona's performance is not as good as Real Madrid's, because so far, Barcelona has only won one Champions League, that is, in 1992, the Dream Team led by Cruyff won one, which is also in the history of Barcelona
The only one on the mountain.
Now, Rijkaard's team has high hopes, and everyone hopes that they can win the second place, or even more.
Mundo Deportivo called on the team to counterattack the Real Madrid coach with iron-clad results.
…
The day after the signing ceremony, the mainstream media in other European countries reported it to some extent.
After all, Real Madrid is still the most popular player in world football, and Gao Shen, the 25-year-old Real Madrid coach, is the focus of global attention. Every word he says naturally attracts attention.
But after saying that, Gao Shen hid in Valdebebas and concentrated on preparing for the game against Valencia.
Far away in Barcelona, Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard also read reports and comments from newspapers early the next morning, especially Catalan newspapers, which almost attacked Gao Shen. Even the daily
Both Sports News and World Sports News reported on it.
This left Rijkaard speechless.
"It sounds like a noble idea, but in reality it's all about interests." Rijkaard sneered.
Despite the fact that World Sports and Daily Sports spoke so righteously and even said that Gao Shen was playing tricks, they not only reported it, but also published it on the front page, as if they wanted readers and fans to pay more attention to it. Isn't this just adding fuel to the flames?
?
They are sitting on Barcelona's side, but deep down they still want to create gimmicks, win eyeballs, and boost sales.
Henrik Tenkat, the chief assistant coach on the side, seemed very calm, "I checked the original words online. In fact, that's not what he said. When the media reported it, they just excerpted one of the paragraphs and said it. If the original words were used,
, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, it’s just the head coach encouraging his players.”
This is also the consistent behavior of all media around the world, taking things out of context.
Rijkaard nodded, "I also think he was speaking more to the Real Madrid players."
"I watched the game at Highbury two or three times. What should I say?" Tencart frowned and clicked his tongue, "This head coach still has something, a bit close to Benitez, but more
With some changes, it is indeed outstanding to be able to perform like this at the age of twenty-five."
Rijkaard was a little surprised. Tenkat was a serious person. He even refused to accept himself. When had he ever praised others?
"But even so, Real Madrid is still not our opponent."
Black Swan secretly screamed, and sure enough, this guy just likes to play with twists and turns.
"There is something in Real Madrid's tactics, but it is still relatively rough. However, the intensive schedule does not allow him to slowly polish it. He can only constantly adjust and adjust through games, which can easily affect his results."
"But the most serious problem now is the health of Real Madrid players. It can be seen from the game that their training level is very low, the players' playing ability is very poor, and their physical fitness is also very bad. With this current situation, let alone catching up with us.
I guess it will be difficult to get to Valencia on the weekend.”
"And these are not things that a rookie head coach can handle."
Why is a world-famous coach a world-famous coach?
Is it just because of his fame?
Come on, which big football team would be stupid enough to spend so much money to hire a guy with no real ability just because of his reputation?
Just like Capello, it is rumored that Real Madrid will spend 7.5 million euros to sign him.
Is this him alone?
No, what Real Madrid wants to sign is Capello's entire team, which may include fitness coaches, goalkeeper coaches, assistant coaches, etc., all of which are included in the 7.5 million euros.
Real Madrid's current situation is very problematic, including low training levels and poor players' physical fitness, which all need to be resolved.
Who to rely on?
It can only rely on high-level training.
If he is a famous coach, he has such resources and connections. If he temporarily recruits a high-level coach, even if it is just temporary, it can greatly alleviate this problem.
But what about profoundness?
A twenty-five-year-old, fledgling rookie, what kind of connections can he have?
Even if the connection is through Real Madrid, which high-level coach is willing to believe in him?
For Real Madrid, appointing Gao Shen as head coach is an unsolvable problem.
"We still have to focus on our own game. This is the limit for Real Madrid to enter the quarterfinals, and it is impossible for La Liga to reverse. Real Madrid's goal is our Barcelona, but our Barcelona goal does not include Real Madrid, only the double crown!"
Tenkat said this with a domineering tone, as if he was the head coach of Barcelona.
This made Rijkaard on the side a little embarrassed and even slightly dissatisfied.
Fortunately, Tenkat will be leaving after this season.
…
Gao Shen's words poked a hole in the sky and the media went crazy.
Valdebebas is no exception.
As soon as he arrived at the training base, Fernando Lucas reported the latest public opinion to him, feeling vaguely worried.
"I think you really shouldn't have said that yesterday. Now the opposition outside is very loud."
Unexpectedly, after Gao Shen heard this, instead of being anxious, he smiled and said, "I guessed it."
"What...what do you mean?" Lucas was confused.
"After the signing ceremony, Butragueno and the people from the public relations department told me that they had predicted that there would be such public opinion, but I told them that there was no need to suppress it. Instead of suppressing it, they should secretly push it.
The louder the opposition, the better.”
"Why?" Lucas was even more confused.
"My words were meant for Barcelona and our players, but they were also meant for the media."
When everyone thought Gao Shen was standing on the first floor, he was actually standing on the fifth floor.
Lucas didn't understand it at all. What did it mean?
"Am I wrong in any of my words? Is our lineup worse than Barcelona? We target Barcelona and want to work hard to reverse. Is there a problem?"
Lucas blinked and thought about it carefully, it seemed to be correct.
Oh, shouldn’t people be allowed to have a goal to work hard for?
Besides, although Real Madrid's stars are no longer at their peak, which one is not the world's top superstar?
Lucas thought about it over and over, vaguely catching something, but not fully understanding it.
Gao Shen looked at him like this and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Our players are all superstars. Even if they are no longer at their peak, they are still superstars. They are all very arrogant and cannot tolerate the slightest doubt. So Zidane, Beckham
People like Raul and others would be so desperate at Highbury, even Ronaldo is probably holding his breath."
"It's okay now. I just said that we should aim to reverse Barcelona and say that our team's lineup is not worse than Barcelona. The media can't stand it. They question, bombard, and criticize. What do you think our players will think?"
Gao Shen actually learned this trick from Ferguson in terms of psychological warfare.
Many times, as fans, you will feel that some of the words spoken by Ferguson and Mourinho are very inappropriate.
This is certainly true, but in fact, those words may not be meant for fans at all, but for players, opponents, and the media.
If the media does not react, they will be depressed. But once the media responds, whether it is support or opposition, whether it is response or bombardment, their purpose of speaking will be achieved.
Declare war on Barcelona!
This is a brand new goal set by Gao Shen for Real Madrid.
