Real Madrid finally beat Valencia 1-0 with Raul's goal at the Mestanya Stadium.
But the whole game was very ugly and nothing exciting at all.
Aside from Valencia's wave of attacks after conceding the ball, both teams played very conservatively for most of the game, first putting themselves in an invincible position and then slowly waiting for their opponents to make mistakes.
No one makes mistakes, and the final result is zero-to-zero.
As Real Madrid's mouthpiece, AS and Marca could only name Guti and Callejon as highlights of the game.
Guti had a flash of inspiration and sent a wonderful long pass to the ground. Callejon sprinted quickly and passed the ball low.
The media also briefly mentioned that Callejon was a great substitute and a speedy player rarely seen on Real Madrid's wing.
But for this game, the overall evaluation of Gao Shen is still low.
A very important reason is that after taking the lead, Gao Shen made two substitutions that were conservative.
Valencia head coach Flores criticized Gao Shen's conservatism at the post-match press conference, believing that it violated the traditional spirit of Real Madrid. "He gave me the feeling that he is training Real Madrid to become an Italian team."
, this is bad.”
Gao Shen still did not participate in the pre-match and post-match press conferences, but as his representative, Maqueda rarely took the initiative to defend himself, saying that the team's problem is two-front operations and rotation.
"Actually, look at our rotation strength. We played in the Atletico Madrid derby in the past week, we just arrived at Highbury Stadium in London and reversed Arsenal, and now we are playing against Valencia. Our players are very tired."
"Looking at Valencia, they play one game a week to recharge their batteries, but they did not show such an advantage in the game. This in itself is enough to prove that we were successful in terms of tactics and overall performance."
Maqueda said that sometimes the coach is very helpless.
"All coaches who coach Real Madrid want to play hearty football, and want to put all the stars on the field and let them play their best games, but everyone knows that this is impossible."
"The cruelty of the professional league is that we often have to make a dilemma between beauty and victory, so for this game, I can only say that we are very happy that we got three points."
"What's more important is that we didn't concede a goal in two consecutive league games."
A large part of the media and fans did not buy Maqueda's explanation.
From a purely topical point of view, such an extremely dull competition is simply uninteresting.
But we have to admire the media's ability to create topics.
The next morning, many Spanish media outlets unanimously pointed the finger at Gao Shen.
From playing against Atletico Madrid, to reversing Arsenal, and now defeating Valencia 1-0, although they scored goals in all three games, Real Madrid's performance was unsatisfactory, especially they did not play the kind of performance that everyone expected.
Yes, Real Madrid's superstars played offensive football like mercury pouring down the ground.
Although they defeated Atletico Madrid 3-0, everyone can see that Real Madrid still relied on defense in this game.
Since Barcelona's away game against Osasuna was scheduled to be played one day later than Real Madrid, some media continued the controversy of the past few days, thinking that Gao Shen wanted to challenge Barcelona in this way, which was a complete joke.
.
Some media even said harshly, "This is Spain, not Italy!"
The implication is that Real Madrid will gain nothing by relying solely on defense.
Not only must you win, but you must also win beautifully. This is the challenge that coaching Real Madrid must face.
But no one expected that one day later, at Osasuna's home court, Barcelona would concede a goal in the first 19 minutes.
This was a foul by the left back Sylvinho, who gave the opponent a free kick in the frontcourt. Osasuna took the penalty directly into the penalty area. Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes actually let go when he attacked. Osasuna's midfielder
Baldo scored calmly.
This mistake hit Barcelona hard.
Osasuna's away game is difficult because this team's style is very tenacious. Real Madrid's midfielder Pablo Garcia came from this team. This style has a curbing effect on Barcelona's passing and ball control.
Very obvious.
Another point is that Barcelona has also been affected by the two-front battle.
Although Barcelona had the ball and took the initiative on the scene, the offense was never able to create a threat. Instead, they changed sides and fought again in the second half. In the 59th minute, central defender Edmilson fouled while defending and was shown by the referee.
Second yellow card and red card sent off.
This was actually a controversial penalty, because both Edmilson and the Barcelona players believed that Osasuna forward Milosevic had dived, but anyway, the referee still gave Osasuna a red card.
The penalty was scored in one go.
Two to zero.
Although Ronaldinho later assisted Larsson to score a goal, Barcelona eventually lost to Osasuna 1-2, ending their winning streak.
After this battle, Barcelona's lead in the La Liga standings was shortened from the original ten points to seven points.
After the game, many media, including Barcelona mouthpieces, attributed Barcelona's defeat to the referee's poor enforcement, especially Edmilson's red card, which was considered to be the main factor in Barcelona's away defeat.
In addition, Valdez's poor performance also left a deep impression on people. This is not the first time that the Barcelona goalkeeper has made such a low-level mistake, and I believe it will not be the last time.
…
After learning that Barcelona lost 1-2 to Osasuna, Gao Shen's first reaction was regret.
"Why is there no Twitter, no Weibo, and no smartphones yet?" Gao Shen felt very painful.
If it were 2021, then the first thing he would do at this time would be to speak out on Weibo or Twitter and directly beat up the group of media reporters who laughed at him and Real Madrid yesterday.
Make a face.
Damn it, you guys have too many double standards, right?
Real Madrid played against Valencia. The scene was indeed ugly, but at least they won and scored three points.
What about Barcelona?
Not only did he lose the ball, but he also lost, with two red cards. As a result, the whole world was looking for reasons and excuses for him.
Is there anyone who bullies people like this?
I read a lot of newspapers, and some of them said some fair words in Aspen and Marca. Alfredo said a lot of good things for Gao Shen in his column, but the rest were all just like Barcelona's dog-licking tone, too
So annoying!
You guys have said everything, you are indeed the uncrowned king!
Having enjoyed the convenience of the mobile Internet era, he now misses his Huawei mate40pro so much.
We agreed to fight side by side for a few more years, waiting for the return of the Qilin King. Unexpectedly, I actually traveled through time.
But he also secretly made a decision that when social platforms such as Twitter and Weibo become available, he will register as soon as possible.
In any case, it is not bad to become famous on the Internet. If we cannot become a professional head coach in the future, we can still rely on our reputation to become an Internet celebrity, still be popular and drink hot food, and be a high-quality man who has dried up his loneliness.
When talking about smartphones, Gao Shen immediately thought of Apple.
He had seen an interesting post on the forum before, saying that he bought Apple in 2008 when its market value was at its lowest, and it has increased sixty-three times in ten years. This is much more profitable than buying a house.
However, this is not the most outrageous thing.
In Hong Kong, China, Penguin's share price has the highest increase. It is said that by 2014, it has increased nearly two hundred times.
After Gao Shen signed the contract with Real Madrid, the signing fee of 100,000 euros was quickly credited to his account.
After the Real Madrid tax department helped to avoid taxes reasonably, Gao Shen actually got nearly 90,000 euros.
He directly registered a stock account, transferred all the money to Hong Kong, China, purchased Penguin shares, and waited for the stock to appreciate.
Reasonable tax avoidance is actually very common in European football. Even in the next few years, European football will begin to aggressively pursue taxes, but more of them will be targeted at famous stars, especially those with generous income from image rights.
People like Gao Shen who use club finances to reasonably avoid taxes will not attract much attention at all.
What's more, his little money is not taken seriously by anyone at all.
…
From the away game against Valencia in the 27th round of the league to the home game against Real Betis in the 28th round, there was a week in between, which gave Real Madrid valuable time to breathe.
The morning after playing Valencia, the team organized recovery training, and the players' spirit and morale were generally very good.
Starting from the afternoon, Gao Shen gave everyone a day off.
It is still very necessary to combine work and rest, and take appropriate rest.
Zidane reported to the team and went to France to participate in the national team training camp. There will be a warm-up match in the middle of the week.
Gao Shen could only give the green light, which was what he had promised Zidane before.
Starting from the twenty-eighth round, there will be another double match in a row, including La Liga and the Champions League quarter-finals. The pressure will be very high.
That is to say, in the afternoon when the team was on holiday, Gao Shen received a call from Carlo.
Buenaventura, whom he asked Carlo to help contact before, finally got a reply.
This future physical training master has been working at Cadiz for several years and has never had the opportunity to take his career further. In this round, Cadiz lost to Athletic Bilbao 0-1 away from home.
The probability of downgrade further increases.
Buenaventura must also have an idea of a way out for himself.
It happened that at this time, Gao Shen and Real Madrid contacted him through Carlo, and he was moved.
It's just that he was asked to change jobs in the middle of the season, and the time was so short, he must have some doubts.
After Gao Shen learned the situation from Carlo, he didn't hesitate and directly booked an early flight for the next day. Accompanied by Carlo, he flew directly to Jerez, a city in southern Spain, and then took a bus from Jerez to Cadiz.
S.
When we arrived in Cadiz, it was lunch time.
The two parties made an appointment in advance and met at a restaurant near the seaside in downtown Cadiz.
After many twists and turns, Gao Shen finally met the physical training master who was supposed to help Guardiola create Barcelona's dream third team in 2008 and follow him to achieve remarkable achievements in Bayern and Manchester City.
