The pre-season training has not yet started, and the Real Madrid players have not yet returned to the team, but they can already feel Gao Shen's difference.
Each of them was recommended to download a brand new APP on their mobile phones and tablets. After passing the background registration authentication, everyone will receive a greeting from the senior, followed by the team's locker room rules.
These are all normal, but they used to be made into brochures, but now they are pushed into the APP.
But the real difference is precisely this APP.
It first gives all players a very intuitive introduction to the current situation of Real Madrid's first team, including a list of coaches, staff, and first-team players.
For example, they can clearly see that 30 people are about to participate in Real Madrid's pre-season training, but two of them will be absent due to participating in the London Olympics.
Click in again and everyone can see their own attendance records.
Of course, they are all still blank for now.
According to the prompts, this attendance record will be directly linked to Real Madrid's Valdebebas attendance system.
But that's not the point.
The power of this app is the training and competition calendar.
It will push to each player in advance the training plan arranged by the coaching staff for the day or for the long term, including each player's targeted training plan, so that players can know what they need to train that day and what goals they want to achieve.
Gao Shen has a routine, that is, after every training session and every game, he will give a summary to the players, but now it is all pushed through the APP. Players can even directly access Real Madrid's database through the APP and get analysts.
Edited training or game analysis videos.
When making videos, analysts will add a lot of annotations based on the coaching staff's reports, so that players can more clearly and intuitively know where their problems lie and how to improve them, so as to accurately grasp the coach's tactical intentions.
In this way, players can implement the head coach's tactical concepts more intuitively and faster.
The most important thing is that the APP will also automatically count and analyze data. Through long-term accumulation, it will automatically generate charts or list views and present them in front of the players, allowing them to more clearly and intuitively feel their training and performance in the past period of time.
Progress in the game.
In addition, there are other sections such as medical and injury reports, which are all connected to Real Madrid's backend database, so you can get your physical examination data, injury status, training data, etc. as soon as possible.
On the coaching side, there is also a statistics and analysis module to conduct statistical analysis and comments on players' training and game data; on the player side, you can apply for other functions such as personal training plans.
The APP also has a communication function, where players and coaches can communicate in this area.
In fact, when players enter this APP, various data from Real Madrid in the past three seasons have already been entered.
Since Real Madrid has not vigorously promoted this kind of data analysis internally before, most of it was purchased from data analysis companies, including the overall data of the team and the personal data of the players.
Everything is clear and clear at a glance.
Many of them even surprised the players themselves, because they didn't expect that they actually had such data.
Take Benzema for example, his success rate in aerial duels is really low.
Gao Shen said before that he was only 26%. He was still a little skeptical and thought it was too outrageous, but what is the fact?
This data last season was already high, but in the previous two seasons, it was even lower.
Why?
Ronaldo.
Who in the world doesn't know that Ronaldo's header is his biggest weakness.
He can solve problems with his feet, but he is willing to use his head?
Therefore, Benzema’s previous headers were really...
In the face of iron-clad and detailed data, no one can lie.
…
The implementation of the APP can be regarded as a lesson for the players, making them clearly realize that Real Madrid's new head coach is completely different from all the head coaches they have encountered before.
When the training camp for the new season started, they felt something unusual again.
Especially physical examinations.
This time the physical examination was not in Valdebebas at all, but went to the nearby La Moraleja Private Hospital, which is one of the best hospitals in Madrid and Real Madrid cooperates with them.
Under the supervision of Buenaventura, Pintus and Real Madrid team doctors, they completed a set of very detailed physical examinations, especially for those players with old injuries or chronic diseases, the physical examination was even more rigorous.
.
The physical examination alone took them a whole morning.
After finally returning to Valdebebas, we had lunch and after the lunch break, everyone basically got their physical examination report. The efficiency was not fast enough.
All indicators are clearly displayed on it, and no one can escape.
It goes without saying who indulges himself during the holidays and who exercises self-discipline.
When it was time for the team's afternoon training session, everyone was notified and did not go to the training ground, but to the conference room.
Obviously, there are no plans to train today.
The more important thing is physical examination and meetings!
This is also Gao Shen's consistent style.
Only by unifying their thinking can the team have a unified direction.
The APP used by Real Madrid this time was made by someone highly skilled. It was used on Leeds United last season and the effect was really good, so he is now using it on Real Madrid.
…
There was silence in the conference room.
Gao Shen faced more than 20 first-team players, with his assistant team behind him.
The first thing he did surprised everyone again.
"I believe that you have all seen the performance and data analysis of the team and yourself last season, and even the past three seasons. Now, I will give you five more minutes. I hope each of you can calm down.
, think about it carefully, recall your own data and performance during this period of time."
As soon as Gao Shen finished speaking, the entire conference room was completely silent. Everyone entered the memory one after another, sooner or later.
It wasn't until five minutes later that the high-pitched voice sounded again.
"I have always believed that memories are the most precious treasure we have as human beings."
"Let us recall the past and connect the dots. It is a path to the future."
"This road is called faith!"
Gao Shen said as he walked among the players.
"Each of us walked into this conference room today due to various fates."
"I think that today, everyone in this conference room should no longer focus on money, reputation, status... What you should really care about is, why are you sitting here? What are you going to do here?
"
"Because when you answer these two questions, when you get what you want here, then you will have money, reputation, status, women... everything."
Gao Shen's tone was very soft, like he was chatting, but all the players were listening very seriously.
"I know that in the past few years, our team has received a lot of criticism and accusations, and we have suffered a lot of failures and setbacks, but I hope you can find that path again from the memories of the past.
At that point in time when you choose this team, you can find your faith again!"
"Our time is limited, and we don't need to waste it on other people's evaluations. I hope you can all love what you have now, and believe that the choice you made was the right one!"
"Only in this way can you continue to move forward and achieve extraordinary greatness!"
Some players were very excited and wanted to applaud, but Gao Shen waved away.
"In the past few years, our team and the players on this team have been tested."
"I believe that you can clearly find from your memories that your journey along the way will not be smooth sailing. There are countless people around them who are constantly giving up, giving up, giving up!"
"The fact that you are sitting here today proves that you are extremely tough, powerful warriors full of courage. You will not be easily defeated by your opponents, you will not be discouraged by ridicule, and you will not give up because of setbacks.
"
"You are a people of faith, aren't you?"
Hearing this, almost most of the players were already nodding.
To be able to play in a team like Real Madrid, they are already winners in life and are at the top of professional players.
Gao Shen is right, it was very, very difficult for each of them to get to where they are today.
"Our team needs to make some changes because we have done too badly in the past few years and we have suffered failures. We cannot continue like this. We must bravely change ourselves and go all out without any reservations.
Let’s make ourselves better and stronger!”
"I don't know if you have the habit of making promises to yourself, but I hope that from today, from this moment on, you can make some promises to yourself every day and work hard to fulfill this promise."
"Every morning when we wake up, we should tell ourselves that I am a brave warrior, and I am going to fight, fight against my past self, and fight against those lazy, slack-off selves who are content with the status quo."
"We must motivate ourselves and do our best to do everything we do. We must remind ourselves every day that I want to be a proud winner!"
"We should live every day as if it is the last day, work hard as if every training session is the last training session, and fight every game as if it is the last game!"
"We must unleash our passion, burn our souls, and push ourselves every day. We must be stronger, stronger, stronger!"
It can be seen from the players' expressions that they are really motivated and ignited.
"Many people say that I am a born winner."
"But I never agree with this statement. I am not a born winner. I just insist on doing what I think is right every day and persevere. This is my secret!"
"I believe that each of you can do it too!"
"You are the best players in the world, you have the best coach in the world, you play in the best team in the world, you should become the most successful players in the world and be someone that everyone in the world looks up to.
, the high and mighty king!”
"It's like the crown on the Real Madrid crest on your chest!"
