Real Madrid finally defeated Deportivo La Coruna 2-0 at home, avenging the first round of this season.
Not only that, after winning this game, Real Madrid successfully shortened the points gap against Barcelona to five points.
This is no longer an insurmountable gap.
From the time Gao Shen took over Real Madrid to now, this team has been stumbling but has won five consecutive victories.
More importantly, in the past four rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid has not conceded a single goal.
Such a report card, let alone in European football, is quite amazing even by the standards of wealthy teams, not to mention a miracle reversal at Highbury.
Aspen editor-in-chief Alfredo said in a column that Gao Shen is winning trust little by little.
De La Morena also revealed in his show that he is rethinking the correctness of Gao Shen's appointment as Real Madrid head coach.
Real Madrid captain Raul said that the team's training level has improved significantly compared with the past, and the team's condition is also recovering quickly.
"My teammates and I are confident that we can get back to our best before the El Clasico. We will win a victory at Camp Nou and further narrow the points gap."
De La Morena revealed that if Real Madrid can really defeat Barcelona at the Nou Camp, the points will be shortened to two points, and then all the pressure will be pushed on Barcelona.
From a ten-point lead to only two points left, one can imagine the psychological pressure on Barcelona.
When that time comes, if Barcelona makes a mistake in any game, it will be reversed by Real Madrid.
De La Morena said that Real Madrid under the guidance of Gao Shen is very stable, with stable defense, stable game process and few mistakes, which is reassuring.
"The only flaw is that it's not enough for Real Madrid!"
But it was this shortcoming that once again triggered a flood of criticism and accusations from the Spanish media after the victory over Deportivo La Coruna.
Many media believed that Real Madrid should have won a big victory at the Bernabeu, but Gao Shen was conservative.
Whether it was the defensive tactics in the second half or the three substitutions and adjustments, they were all for defense. Deportivo even almost scored a goal, which was completely different from the opening game.
Some media believe that Real Madrid under the coaching of Gao Shen has completely lost the smooth offensive coordination of the team in the past. Even in the two-goal victory against Deportivo La Coruna, one was an own goal and the other was a set-piece coordination in the frontcourt. The ball could not be seen at all.
The team used to play aggressive attacking football.
Not only the media, but also many fans were dissatisfied with the team's performance and thought it was too conservative.
Calderon, a member of Real Madrid's board of directors and a well-known Madrid lawyer, said in an interview with the media after the game that although the team won, it had lost Real Madrid's tradition and elegance.
"What we saw in this game was not Real Madrid, but an ordinary team that was no different from other teams."
Calderon said that the board of directors is not satisfied with Real Madrid's recent performance. Although the management renewed Gao Shen's contract, the contract will only last until the end of the season. Real Madrid's management is looking for a more suitable head coach.
"We are a unique team. It's not enough just to win games. We also have to please the fans."
Calderon revealed that Real Madrid management has basically identified seven head coaches, namely: Ancelotti, Mourinho, Capello, Benitez, Wenger, Eriksen and Lippi.
"From the perspective of coaching style, we prefer Ancelotti and Wenger, but this requires good communication with AC Milan and Arsenal. However, we believe that these two coaches will also be interested in coaching Real Madrid.
"
After Calderon's interview, Marca revealed that AC Milan had actually given the green light to Ancelotti to coach Real Madrid, and was confirmed by Gazzetta dello Sport, which believed that the two sides were very close to talking.
"After Ancelotti took over Real Madrid, the first thing he did was to bring his two favorite players, Pirlo and Kaká, to Real Madrid!"
One side is boasting, while the other side, Aspen, revealed that under pressure from the board of directors, Real Madrid will restart the presidential election this summer. Chairman Martin is planning to use the return of Bosque and Hierro to help his presidential election.
AS also revealed that former Real Madrid chairman Florentino did not rule out the possibility of re-election.

Turin, Italy, Fiat Training Center.
Juventus coach Capello was browsing the latest news newspapers, but he was not surprised at all by the strange things happening in far away Madrid, Spain.
"Itaro, do you know? There should be only one team on this planet that will retaliate to its head coach with the news of a coaching change when the team has won five consecutive victories." Capello sneered,
He found this incomprehensible.
Assistant coach Itaro Gabbiati understands Capello's thoughts because he did the same when he coached Real Madrid.
Even in the past few years, Real Madrid has had a tradition of firing championship coaches.
What's more, that young man named Gao Shen hasn't won the championship yet.
"That's what membership-based teams are like, an electoral system. Everything is for votes. Only by catering to the fans to the greatest extent can they win votes. Ordinary fans are often emotional and idealistic. They not only want to win, but also
They want to win beautifully, but they have never thought about whether their team has such strength?" Gabbiati also sneered.
Capello shook his head, "No, they have thought about it, and the conclusion they reached should be affirmative."
Gabbiati was stunned and laughed.
Isn't it?
What level of superstars are Ronaldo and Zidane?
Raul, Beckham, Carlos, Casillas, Guti...
Even if Figo is sent away, Real Madrid is still full of superstars.
Will such a team be weak?
When Capello coached Real Madrid, he won the league championship, but he was fired because he didn't play well enough.
His successor Heynckes even led the team to win the Champions League, but what was the result?
Didn’t he also leave get out of class in the same dejected mood?
Del Bosque, the most successful firefighting coach in Real Madrid's history, winning a championship every year, was eventually fired.
Is there any other team in the world that like Real Madrid, takes turns to speculate on famous coaches from all over the world?
"Itaro, do you know?" Capello suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I feel like Real Madrid is like a scumbag who always gives up, and we are all splatterers in his eyes.
, he hooked his fingers, and we all flocked to him. What do you think this is?"
Gabbiati didn't laugh because he knew Capello was laughing at himself.
Real Madrid did have contact with Capello, and Capello was indeed attracted. However, the Juventus management promised that the front trident will definitely stay after the end of this season, so Capello has already said in front of the media,
A promise to stay at Juventus for another three years.
But when he faced the finger hook of this scumbag from Real Madrid, he was really tempted.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Capello waved his hand, "Ask the scouting department to quickly send over the video of Real Madrid's game against Deportivo La Coruna. This young Chinese kid still has something, and he actually led the team to five consecutive victories.
"
Gabbiati also calmed down and nodded: "Real Madrid's defense has indeed improved significantly compared to before. However, in the game against Deportivo La Coruna, many main players were involved, so it is estimated that the consumption will be considerable."
"How is Real Madrid's physical fitness recently? How is their training level?" Capello asked with concern.
Gabbiati shook his head, "Judging from the game, it seems to be better than before, but recently, there has been much less news coming out of Real Madrid's training base than before, and the control has become stricter. I guess that's what the Chinese guy meant.
.”
"This kid is pretty good." Capello praised with a smile.
In the past, Real Madrid's information was really easy to get. You didn't even need to arrange for people to spy on it. You could read it directly in the newspapers. Real Madrid was like a girl who took off her clothes and let everyone browse.
But it's different now, at least I'm wearing clothes.
"I guess his plan is to keep a draw in the away game and try his best when he returns to the home court." Gabbiati guessed.
Capello nodded, "The plan is very loud. We will play Deportivo on the weekend, play us away in the middle of the week, visit Camp Nou on the weekend, play the second leg with us again in the middle of next week, and play against Real Madrid next weekend.
Society, all five games are tough battles, and it is unrealistic to want to score all points."
Gabbiati also thinks so, "Young people are motivated, but it is inevitable that they sometimes have unrealistic fantasies."
"Then let him wake up at the Alpi Stadium." Capello said harshly.

Gao Shen read the newspaper early in the morning, and also saw Calderon's interview and other media reports.
There may be no reason for rumors to come out of nowhere.
It is actually no secret that Real Madrid wants to select a coach. Even Gao Shen himself feels that after the end of this season, it is time to step down from the Real Madrid coach position.
It's just that he is quite curious. Under his butterfly effect, can Calderon still counterattack and become the chairman of Real Madrid?
There is no doubt that Real Madrid is the most unique team in world football, and its head coach and players are recognized as rich and handsome.
Be it a superstar or a famous coach, they are all proud to join Real Madrid.
But unfortunately, Gao Shen doesn't like to be a licking dog.
Therefore, these reports from the outside are of little use to him.
This time between him and Real Madrid is more like 419, each taking what he needs. As for the future, there may be no future.
After playing against Deportivo La Coruña, he focused exclusively on the game against Juventus.
No team is perfect, and neither is Juventus.
This team's lineup seems to be strong, but behind the strength, there are often weaknesses and shortcomings.
At least in deep memory, Juventus did not enter the Champions League semi-finals this season, but lost to Arsenal.
If I remember correctly, in the first round at Highbury Stadium, Juventus paid a painful price by conceding two goals and two red cards, and directly lost the right to advance. Later, they also drew 0-0 with Assen at home.
Na.
It can be seen that this Juventus team is not as strong as it seems on the surface.
So, what is their problem?
Gao Shen vaguely feels that this will be the key for Real Madrid to defeat Juventus and get the right to advance.
