At nine o'clock in the morning, Madrid began to wake up after sleeping all night.
The traffic flow on Calle della Castellana, which runs north and south of the city center, also started to get busy.
People began to come out of the Bernabeu Metro Station and gathered towards the Bernabeu Stadium northeast of the intersection.
The league has been suspended, and no games or activities were held at the Bernabeu Stadium today, but more and more people gathered.
Soon, pedestrians passing by and even vehicle drivers stopped curiously.
"What's happening here?"
"Are there any events at the Bernabeu today?"
"Hey, man, what are you waiting for?"
Questioning voices kept coming and going.
Just when everyone was confused, they kept seeing some people pushing forward apart from passers-by, shouting "Make way, please give way, come over, thank you."
After these people arrived at the door, they immediately showed their IDs to the security personnel and were allowed to enter together.
There was a lot of discussion outside.
Soon, they reacted and blocked several of them.
"Brother, what kind of big day is today? There are so many people?" Someone came over to get close.
"Don't you know? Gao Shen is here!"
"Gao Shen is here?"
"Oh my god, what's going on? Why wasn't such big news reported?"
"We also received a short notice and rushed over immediately. Sorry, I borrowed it. I borrowed it."
The crowd immediately started talking.
Gao Shen is here!
This is nothing more than a bomb dropped in the center of Madrid.
Not only did it spread immediately on the scene, everyone called and contacted people, and some directly spread it on Twitter and social media.
In a very short period of time, the whole of Madrid, the whole of Spain, and even the whole of Europe were in a sensation!
Gao Shen is about to sign at the Bernabeu Stadium!
This is definitely a big deal for Real Madrid fans who have been waiting for it for many years.
In just half an hour or so, more and more Real Madrid fans poured in from all directions.
Some of them drive themselves, some take the subway, some take the bus...
The entire perimeter of the Bernabeu Stadium was blocked, and the police were finally alerted. They had to step in to maintain order, and even urgently requested Real Madrid to open the Bernabeu Stadium as soon as possible.
Otherwise, something will happen.
…
"Gao's popularity is so great that it has even appeared on the news on mainstream TV stations."
In his office at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, general manager Jose Sanchez is reporting the latest progress to president Florentino.
They also just squeezed into Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium.
Florentino saw it too.
Outside the window in front of him, more and more Real Madrid fans were gathering, and they all came spontaneously.
If Real Madrid was "operating" three years ago when Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka joined, now it is really spontaneous, and even Real Madrid itself is unprepared.
It's working time today, I guess there are many people down there who are absent from work, right?
As the boss of a large company, Florentino felt very speechless about this, but he was also very happy in his heart.
Signing with Gao Shen seems right!
While the two were talking, they saw Butragueño, the vice chairman and head of the public relations department, knocking on the door and coming in.
"Chairman, I'm sorry. We have made plans, but unexpectedly something went wrong."
Florentino stretched out his hand to stop him, indicating that this was not about pursuing responsibility, "Now we must come up with a solution as soon as possible."
"I called Gao Shen and he agreed to meet the fans at the Bernabeu Stadium."
Now, fans have blocked all the intersections outside. The situation is indeed quite serious.
"Then quickly open the stadium and let the fans in." Florentino made a prompt decision.
…
With the opening of various channels at the Bernabeu Stadium, fans poured into the Bernabeu Stadium like a tide.
More and more fans heard the news and gathered towards the Bernabeu Stadium from all directions. Although fans entered the stadium one after another after the stadium opened, there were still many fans stranded outside.
Stadium staff, as well as the police who came to maintain order, were mostly organizing fans to enter in an orderly manner.
At 10:30, according to the agreed time, Gao Shen took Real Madrid's Audi limousine and slowly arrived at the Bernabeu.
Although the scene was crowded, Real Madrid fans still took the initiative to make way for the welcoming car.
Gao Shen heard more and more fans shouting his name at the scene, but he didn't dare to roll down the car window to meet them.
This is thanks to Zidane's reminder.
If you really roll down the window, it may be dangerous.
It's not that the fans want to hurt Gao Shen, but accidents may happen.
The welcome car slowly drove into the Bernabeu Stadium.
The security personnel on site immediately came forward to protect the welcome car.
When Gao Shen and Zidane got out of the car, there was a burst of cheers.
Thousands of fans are chanting Gao Shen's name.
Gao Shen couldn't see clearly how many people were there, but there were really many, and it felt like there were more and more people.
Butragueno came out immediately and welcomed Gao Shen into the Bernabeu Stadium.
Fans rushed to enter the stadium.
…
As more and more fans entered the stadium, Real Madrid had to adjust their plans.
They decided to broadcast the signing ceremony and subsequent press conference live through Real Madrid TV, so that all fans can watch it on the big screen at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Later, Gao Shen also went to the stadium to greet the fans.
"There are at least 20,000 people at the scene, and they are still coming." Butragueño was excited and scared at the same time.
Real Madrid fans today are so enthusiastic.
"By the way, Gao, I'm afraid your speech needs to be revised."
Originally, according to Real Madrid's plan, nearly a hundred media reporters in Madrid were notified today to attend the press conference for Gao Shen's signing. But now that they have to face thousands of Real Madrid fans, the situation is different.
"How about I ask the press officer to come over and discuss it with you?" Butragueno asked kindly.
Gao Shen thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's okay, I didn't prepare any speech."
Butragueno was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "Yes, I forgot about this. You never bring drafts to press conferences. Back then, you said you could talk on stage for hours.
, there is no repetition in the content, today it depends on your ability!”
Gao Shen smiled. This was a private joke he made with Butragueno when he coached Real Madrid for the first time.
But he really doesn't like to bring manuscripts.
Especially after Martin gave him a speech last time, he became allergic to that stuff.
Unexpectedly, team captain Casillas, vice-captain Ramos, former captain and current assistant coach Fernando Hierro, honorary chairman Di Stefano...
Many club executives and powerful people came to the Bernabeu Stadium, and core members of the board of directors also arrived one after another, which is enough to show that Real Madrid attaches great importance to Gao Shen's signing and appearance.
As more and more fans gathered at the scene, the Bernabeu Stadium was temporarily opened, resulting in a shortage of manpower and adjustments had to be made. Therefore, the signing ceremony and press conference were postponed from 11 o'clock to 12 o'clock.
…
Twelve o'clock sharp.
Gao Shen appeared in Florentino's chairman's office on time.
Real Madrid TV broadcast the whole process live, and Real Madrid fans sat in the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium and watched the live broadcast on the big screen, but the cheers in the stadium still reached the administrative office.
It was in this atmosphere that Gao Shen signed a coaching contract with Florentino.
The contract is for three years.
After the two parties signed, there was a burst of warm applause not only in the office, but also inside and outside the stadium.
Afterwards, the group went to the press conference hall of the Bernabeu Stadium.
Gao Shen is very familiar with this place.
He still clearly remembered that in 2006, on the second day after he traveled back in time, he was sitting here, facing this group of reporters, and started his Real Madrid coaching journey.
Who would have thought that six years later, he would be sitting here again.
But this time, his situation was completely different from six years ago.
At that time, he was just a newbie, a low-key person, and not taken seriously at all.
But now, he is already the number one top coach in world football, a gold medal coach who has won four Champions League titles.
To put it bluntly, if he stamps his feet now, the Real Madrid locker room will be shaken!
When Gao Shen and his party entered the press conference hall, there was warm applause.
Those sitting in the front row were all guests invited by Real Madrid, including honorary chairman Di Stefano, as well as the team's captain and deputy captain, but the team's number one superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, was absent.
All the media reporters who came to the scene also realized this.
Does this mean that the Portuguese has fallen out of favor at Real Madrid?
The first step in the press conference process is to show the contract signed by both parties. Florentino officially announced that Gao Shen will coach Real Madrid in the next three years.
"We are very proud and honored to announce this good news to all Real Madrid fans around the world."
"We believe that under the coaching of Mr. Gao Shen, Real Madrid will become more competitive in the future and will create a new era of glory!"
The audience burst into warm applause again.
Gao Shen is used to such occasions. In his speech, he also thanked the Real Madrid board of directors and management for their trust in him, the Real Madrid fans for their love for him, and all the media reporters present for their support.
"I am very happy to be able to sit here again and face everyone after six years!"
Gao Shen's words caused the audience to burst into even warmer applause again.
Especially in the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium outside, the applause was deafening.
Countless fans were shouting Gao Shen's name in unison.
They have been looking forward to the stars and the moon for so many years, and finally Gao Shen is here.
Today will undoubtedly be an epoch-making day in the history of Real Madrid!
All Real Madrid fans firmly believe in this, because they have never doubted that Gao Shen will succeed in Real Madrid!
Gao Shen is also full of confidence in this.
He even said with confidence, "I am here just to win the championship!"
"I have always felt and firmly believed that a great team like Real Madrid will always only fight for the championship!"
The entire Bernabeu Stadium suddenly fell into madness.
