Robben took the ball and kept approaching the right side of the top of the arc.
As he got closer, his pace slowed down and became more of a small step. He raised his head and his eyes were firmly locked on Carvalho.
When he saw Carvalho rushing toward him, he was well prepared and sent the ball to Carvalho's right side.
Carvalho did not expect that Robben would suddenly make this move. He was so surprised that he immediately turned around and wanted to chase him.
But at this time, Robben suddenly started, and when he turned around, he rushed straight into the penalty area from his left side as quickly as possible.
In the very short period of time when Carvalho turned around, the ball had already entered the right side of the penalty area, and Robben also penetrated into the penalty area as quickly as possible, catching up with the ball he had just passed, completing a wonderful
The ball was passed.
"The ball passed!!!"
"Robben's ball was passed!!"
I don’t know what Adan was thinking. After Robben passed the ball past Carvalho, he stood unmoved in front of the goal. This gave Robben a very good opportunity.
Because after Robben catches up with the ball on the right side of the penalty area, there is still a lot of space to deal with.
So when the Dutchman caught up with the ball, he glanced to the right, and before Pepe could rush over, he sent a cross with the inside instep of his right foot.
The ball passed between goalkeeper Adan who was standing on the right post and Pepe who was chasing after him.
Suarez quickly caught up and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal behind Pepe.
"goalllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
"Two to zero!!!"
"Manchester City once again scored against Real Madrid."
"Robben made a wonderful breakthrough and assisted Suarez to score Manchester City's second goal."
"This is definitely a wonderful manifestation of Robben's personal ability!"
"With one pass and one shot, Robben became the most dazzling star at the Etihad Stadium today!"
Manchester City players rushed out of the stadium and celebrated the goal with Robben, Suarez and others.
By now, everyone has basically understood the game.
…
"Adan still can't do it!"
After Gao Shen saw the goal on the sidelines, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
It stands to reason that at the critical moment, when Robben passes the ball into the penalty area, Real Madrid's goalkeeper should abandon the goal and attack.
No matter how you look at it, the attack can at least block Robben's angle and passing route to the maximum extent.
Any goalkeeper with some experience knows how to attack decisively.
But Adan stayed in front of the goal from beginning to end.
There is no way to tell whether he is nervous or lacks experience and does not know how to judge.
Anyway, he just didn't attack.
"If Casillas had scored that goal just now, it would have been difficult for us to score." Lopez was also quite sad.
Speaking of which, Adan was trained by Lopez. Although he has left Real Madrid for many years, he is also quite familiar with this goalkeeper. He can enter every age group in Spain except the national team and serve as the main player and captain.
Dan's ability and potential are unquestionable.
But in a team like Real Madrid, wanting to serve as the main goalkeeper is by no means a simple ability.
You also need to have a strong psychological quality.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about Neuer and Casillas, goalkeepers of their level, which one is not extremely confident?
Just like now, Casillas and Mourinho are having conflicts.
Many people will think that Casillas was wrong, why didn't he admit his mistake?
The reason is simple, they don't have the habit of admitting mistakes easily.
They rarely even feel that they are wrong.
You say this is a kind of blind confidence, okay, but this kind of confidence allows them to maximize their strength on the court, and it can even be said to be a kind of domineering.
Adan is a good boy, but he doesn't have this domineering attitude.
This is why everyone feels that superstars are difficult to manage.
They are all full of personality.
You can't ask them to be full of personality on the court and be your head coach's sweetheart in the locker room. This is unrealistic and impossible!
Therefore, Mourinho's management model itself is like a paradox.
The head coach needs to be the boss in the locker room, but he also needs the players to be responsible and domineering on the court. Isn't this contradictory?
When players have little fame, they will compromise, but once they grow to a certain height, will they still compromise?
If Ronaldo loses his personality, is he still Ronaldo?
This is why Gao Shen feels that Mourinho handled the Casillas matter very poorly.
He shouldn't have let himself fall into that kind of dilemma from the beginning.
Being forced into this situation, no matter what choice I make, it will be wrong.
Adan is a good and obedient boy, but he is not decisive enough on the court.
Looking at it from another perspective, even if Adan really has enough potential and strength, he is very obedient now, but when he establishes a foothold and becomes famous, will he continue to be so obedient?
"Real Madrid has trained many young goalkeepers over the years, and some of them are very capable, but to be honest, none of them can replace Casillas, not from a football perspective or from a personal influence."
When Gao Shen said this, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking about his old friend Mourinho.
"The impact of banning Casillas has just begun."
Lopez was convinced.
Because he is the goalkeeper coach of Real Madrid and one of the best goalkeeper coaches in the world.
There are few goalkeepers like Casillas and Neuer in the world, let alone those trained in the Real Madrid youth academy.
"Leeds United's Thibaut Courtois will definitely become a great player in the future, and that Navas is also not easy." Lopis reminded Gao Shen.
Gao Shen smiled and nodded.
These two are both rare top goalkeepers, but they are still a little green right now.
Courtois has performed very well for Leeds United this season.
This is mainly due to the Italian goalkeeper coach on the Leeds United coaching staff, Gianluca Spinelli.
Spinelli is only 46 years old, but he has been working on his own since 2002, first working in Como, then joining Genoa in 2004, where he has stayed until now.
Gao Shen had already heard of him when he was coaching Naples. This time Sarri wanted to form a coaching staff, but failed to find a suitable goalkeeper coach, so Gao Shen came forward from Leeds United and hired Spinelli from Genoa.
This is the future goalkeeper coach of the Italian national team.
Spinelli is also different from the rest of Sarri's coaching staff, he is Leeds United's coach.
This is actually the habit of many teams, that is, no matter how the head coach changes, there are always some coaches of their own in the first team coaching staff, such as AC Milan's chief assistant coach Tassotti, such as the future who has worked at Barcelona for ten years.
Goalkeeping coach De La Fuente, as well as some of Real Madrid's coaches.
Gao Shen also talked with Spinelli and hoped that he could focus on training the players and train Courtois and Navas.
He even became stronger and better than Gao Shen in his previous life.
After all, what Gao Shen is using now can be said to be the most advanced scientific training methods and systems in European football.
…
The game finally ended 2-0.
In fact, after 70 minutes of the second half, especially when they were two goals behind, Real Madrid simply did not show the determination and courage to make a desperate move, and the overall performance showed a very obvious decline.
It seems like it's a matter of poor physical fitness, but if you look deeper, it probably has something to do with Real Madrid's team morale.
This is also one of the sequelae of Mourinho's ban on Casillas.
In the final analysis, no matter what the fuss was in the locker room, Mourinho's move was indeed a bit too much.
Of course, it would be meaningless to argue about who is right and who is wrong.
What we can see next is what Mourinho wants to do?
…
"what to do?"
After the game, in an office at the Etihad Stadium, Gao Shen and Mourinho had a drink behind closed doors.
Just now at the post-match press conference, Mourinho scolded the players.
This made Gao Shen a little confused again.
Obviously, this is purely Mourinho venting his resentment.
At this time, the more harsh you are on the players, the greater the probability of problems.
Sometimes Gao Shen feels that Mourinho should be a person who likes to teach through frustration, but not all players follow his approach, especially now.
"If I said, I wish Real Madrid would fire me right now, would you believe me?" Mourinho drank two glasses of wine and was full of complaints. He even said some things he shouldn't have said.
For example, the sentence above.
If this happened to another person, or if someone else heard about it, Mourinho would be in big trouble.
Gao Shen shook his head, "I don't believe it!"
"Why don't you believe it?" Mourinho was very surprised.
"You are not that kind of person." Gao Shen replied firmly.
Mourinho looked at Gao Shenlaojiu deeply, and finally let out a puff of joy.
"You know, Gao? Sometimes I really want to scold you. From when you made it impossible for me to coach Barcelona, then to coach Inter Milan, and now to coach Real Madrid, I feel that I
It seems like I have always been living in your shadow."
When Mourinho said this, Gao Shen really didn't know how to deal with it.
He chose to be a listener.
"On the first day I coached Inter Milan, everyone told me that what Inter Milan wanted most was not me; on the first day I coached Real Madrid, Karanka was my assistant coach from outside, and Real Madrid assigned me
, when he took me to visit Valdebebas, he pointed to a desk and said, look, that is the one Gao Shen used when he coached Real Madrid."
When he heard this, Gao Shen was really surprised, "Still keeping it?"
"You don't know?" Mourinho was even more surprised.
"really do not know."
"They are like tributes. No one dares to use them. The computers, tables and chairs are all the same as before. Someone will clean them every day."
When Mourinho said this, he suddenly raised his head and said in a very aggrieved, innocent, and even harem-like tone: "In the past two years at Real Madrid, I have felt like this all the time,
I’m like a third party interfering in other people’s marriages!”
Gao Shen was amused by this sudden sentence.
"Don't laugh, seriously." Mourinho was quite serious.
"From Barcelona to Real Madrid, I discovered that there is a saying that is right. Behind every white moonlight you miss day and night, there is a man who fucks her until she feels like vomiting."
At the end, Mourinho pointed at Gao Shen and said: "You are such a scumbag!"
