Manchester United's 1995-96 season was the beginning of a legend, and it was also a classic with ups and downs.
Although it is only through profound narration, both Lucas and Buenaventura can feel from the profound words how many difficulties and obstacles Ferguson and his Manchester United overcame during that period. In the end,
Just reversed Newcastle.
People in the world often only remember the results, and few people explore the legendary process.
This is how the misinformation about the twelve-point reversal spread.
As football practitioners, both Lucas and Buenaventura know clearly how difficult, if not almost impossible, to copy the legend of Ferguson and Manchester United.
And they suddenly understood that Gao Shen had been doing his homework secretly.
"We Chinese have a saying: He who travels a hundred miles has half a mile." Gao Shen looked at his two right-hand men and continued.
"It means that if you want to walk 100 kilometers, you will only have walked half of it when you reach 90 kilometers. Although there are only ten kilometers left, the closer you get to the end, the harder it becomes."
After a pause, Gao Shen said with warning: "Our current situation is the same. It seems that we are very close to Barcelona, only two points away. But as long as we are a little bit slack, as long as we relax our vigilance a little bit, then
We're doomed."
This is true for the pursuer Real Madrid, and the same is true for the pursued Barcelona.
The difference is that Barcelona's overall strength is stronger and their fault tolerance rate is higher.
"Understood." Buenaventura nodded heavily, "Next, I will pay attention to the players' situation in training. In addition, I will also pay attention to the players' emotional and psychological adjustment."
Gao Shen nodded, "Real Madrid is not Manchester United, and I am not Ferguson. None of us can guarantee that if we suffer a defeat similar to that of Manchester United, we can stand up again like Manchester United, so we only have one chance."
At the end of the sentence, Gao Shen vigorously gestured with the index finger of his right hand in front of Buenaventura and Lucas.
How strong a psychological quality does it take to get back up after falling so hard?
Gao Shen remembers that he once had a classmate who chose to repeat the exam after performing poorly in the college entrance examination.
At the beginning, he was full of confidence. He felt that he had studied for one more year than others and had another college entrance examination experience. He felt that he would definitely be able to do better in the exam.
Unexpectedly, as he continued to read, his mentality collapsed before he could pass the college entrance examination.
After starting to work, Gao Shen also met many successful businessmen and entrepreneurs. When they were successful, they were so high-spirited, so confident, and even arrogant. But once they fell, they fell into disrepair in a very short period of time.
Wasted.
People who have never fallen or fallen miserably will never know how difficult it is to get up again after falling!
Today's Real Madrid is very, very fragile. Gao Shen seems to be in control of the overall situation now, but this is based on his ability to lead the team to win. If he loses, loses miserably and makes everyone lose hope again, then I'm sorry.
He is the next Rosenberg.
In fact, his fate will be even more tragic than Rosenberg's!
this is the truth!
In the final analysis, that Manchester United was Ferguson's team, but this Real Madrid is not a sophisticated team.
"I plan to find time to chat with Beckham. He is a person who personally experienced Manchester United's reversal that year. If possible, I hope he can bring us more personal experience."
This is what Gao Shen had after seeing Ferguson's experience in the tactical library last night.
Ferguson is speaking from the perspective of the head coach, and Gao Shen wants to know more about the perspective of the players and the locker room.
"Of course, before that, our coaching staff must be fully mentally prepared. Every next battle will be more difficult!"
Lucas and Buenaventura both nodded in agreement.
Buenaventura, in particular, seemed to have gained a new understanding of the profound.
Although he has not been in Real Madrid for a long time, he has really received too many surprises after working with Gao Shen.
Just like today, the team obviously defeated Barcelona in an away game and the situation was very good. People outside were singing praises, but Gao Shen was able to give such a rational and calm analysis.
Lucas studied economics and now does analysis. He already prides himself on being very objective, so he prepared some more materials in the report just to remind Gao Shen.
Unexpectedly, Gao Shen thought more deeply and thoughtfully than him.

While Gao Shen was discussing with his assistants in Madrid, as far away as Turin, Italy, at the Juventus training base, Capello was also studying last night's Derby of the Century with his assistants.
Before the game, no one expected that Real Madrid could beat Barcelona 1-0 in an away game and successfully narrow the points gap.
Even the most optimistic Capello's guesses about Real Madrid are zero to zero.
Because he felt that Gao Shen would stick to the end.
"Ronaldo." Capello chewed on the name that surprised him.
It should be said that no one thought before the game that Gao Shen would let Ronaldo play and come on as a substitute.
"Actually, looking back now, I guess that the reason why Gao Shen made this arrangement was probably due to various considerations, because Ronaldo's physical condition is probably not enough to play the whole game, especially with so much running and pressing."
Assistant coach Itaro Gabbiati tried to analyze the matter in a sophisticated way.
"Since Ronaldo was unable to compete for the whole game, Gao Shen simply asked Negredo to go up and wear down Barcelona's defense. Puyol was just recovering from a serious injury, and Oleg and Belletti were fighting continuously. In this way, in the second half, the exhaustion
It’s almost done, let Ronaldo come up and give full play to his advantage as a substitute.”
Capello nodded while listening, he thought so too.
"Compared with Ronaldo's goal, I think the timing of Gao Shen's substitutions in this game is very interesting." Gabbiati continued, "At the beginning, he didn't move. He was obviously waiting.
When Jaccard made a substitution, he was sure that Barcelona would make the substitution first."
"Because Barcelona cannot accept a draw at Camp Nou!" Capello said.
"Yes, this is a shameless game."
Gabbiati's words made Capello couldn't help laughing.
From this point of view, Gao Shen is indeed more shameless.
why?
No one knows whether Gao Shen will take the initiative if Rijkaard does not make a substitution, because it has already happened.
But judging from all the previous signs, at least Gao Shen gave people the impression that he would stick to the end.
It’s not surprising that so many people called him ugly, conservative, and the worst head coach in the history of Real Madrid. After all, why do you need this face?
"This actually makes him feel less burdened and more relaxed," Gabbiati said with a smile.
But he didn't want to, but Capello shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, Itaro, even with this psychological burden, I guess he will still be shameless." After saying this, Capello himself was happy.
"Why?"
"Isn't the media talking about it? He looks like me." Capello chuckled, and it was obvious that he really appreciated Gao Shen.
"Actually, he really understands the game of professional football."
The needs of fans are varied. Some people like an offensive feast, some like to study tactics, some like stability, and some like adventure and excitement...
There are also various ways for players to prove themselves, a goal, a pass, a tackle, or even just because they are handsome...
But there is only one way for the head coach to prove himself, and that is to win!
This is a high-risk profession, and a head coach who cannot lead the team to victory will only be dismissed in the end!
"It is not easy to be able to see through this game at such a young age, but he still lacks some coaching experience and is still a little rough and immature in terms of tactical layout and on-the-spot command. I think he should go to Serie A to practice for a few years and accumulate experience.
I’ll gain some experience and improve my tactical literacy and ideas.”
Gabbiati was a little surprised. He could see that Capello really appreciated the profound.
"How do you think he will play at the Bernabeu?" Gabbiati asked.
Capello leaned back, and the sofa chair suddenly tilted back, almost half-lying down, with his legs barely touching the desk.
"That kid thought he was hiding deep. In fact, from his formation, from his on-the-spot command, from his every move, there was a strong desire to take control of the game.
So at Camp Nou, he couldn't wait to make tit-for-tat substitutions with Rijkaard."
"He said he had found a way to break our goal, but I watched the first leg at least five times and couldn't detect any problems with us, so I was curious whether he was bluffing or if he really found out.
?”
Capello is very shrewd, so he knows that sometimes he is a fan of the authorities.
Just like an exam, after answering the paper, it is often easy to miss some obvious mistakes when checking. It is not until the teacher hands out the test paper and sees the deduction points that he suddenly realizes and slaps his thigh hard.
Nima, why didn’t I see it?
Capello is such a shrewd person, of course he knows this, so he is curious.
"You mean, he will take the initiative?" Gabbiati asked.
Capello smiled and nodded, "Absolutely, one thousand percent. Rijkaard doesn't want a draw at Camp Nou, and this kid doesn't want to play overtime with us at the Bernabeu, because he doesn't have the leverage at all."
"Then what should we do?" Gabbiati asked.
Capello raised his lips and said, "Tonight against Treviso, we will play with the substitute lineup, recharge our batteries, and go to the Bernabeu to see what tricks he is playing. I hope he will not disappoint me then.
"
Juventus now has such confidence, because in the Serie A standings, the Bianconeri are eight points ahead of AC Milan and 13 points ahead of Inter Milan.
Even if Capello is more willful and directly gives up the game against Treviso, it will not have the slightest impact on the entire Serie A championship situation.
This league championship is determined by Capello, and even Jesus can't take it away!
He not only wants the Serie A championship, but also the Champions League!
