Gao Shen did not know that Vilanova was "plotting" to spy on information at the Bernabeu, but he was well prepared for the "spies" from Barcelona because he himself did the same.
Teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona have very generous budgets and regard each other as their only rivals. Naturally, they will deploy personnel to closely monitor their opponents' every move and spy on intelligence. It is commonplace.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Gao Shen still knows the current Barcelona team very well.
Many things seem to have changed, but in fact they have not.
Gao Shen has heard about the matter between Vilanova and Guardiola. This kind of thing is not uncommon in all walks of life. It's just that Guardiola has a famous name, so it became news. If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be the same.
Calculate matters.
Of course, Vilanova's approach in this matter is still open to question.
Guardiola regards him as a confidant, but he secretly reached an agreement with the management behind Guardiola's back. This is a bit unethical, especially since Rosell announced Virano on the day Guardiola left Barcelona.
Wa takes over, this is such a slap in the face.
Similar situations have actually happened to Gao Shen many times.
For example, Guardiola told Gao Shen before returning to Barcelona; Zidane did not hide it from Gao Shen from the beginning to the end when he wanted to return to Real Madrid. Gao Shen even told Leeds United head coach Maurizio Sarri that if he performed well in coaching,
If a big team is interested in him, he can be honest and honest, and Gao Shen will never make things difficult for him.
Gao Shen believed that if Vilanova talked directly with Guardiola, Guardiola would not make things difficult for him, but he chose to conceal it.
This made Guardiola feel betrayed.
And Vilanova has always wanted to prove that he is not inferior to Guardiola at all, and he does not want to live in Guardiola's shadow, so he wants to prove that this will make him better in facing Real Madrid and Gao Shen.
When the time comes, the desire to win is even stronger.
Recently, Gao Shen has been arranging scouts to follow Barcelona, and has also obtained some information inside Barcelona, such as player injuries and the game between Barcelona and Sevilla.
This incident was a big deal outside. In Gao Shen's opinion, the referee of this game must be biased, and Cesc Fabregas's acting was indeed disgusting. He is truly a top student at the Film Academy.
However, Medel also has problems.
The Chilean people were indeed a little out of control emotionally at that time, otherwise they would not have stood up to that.
This gave Fabregas the opportunity to use the topic to his advantage.
As for Thiago's handball, this is what the referee thinks of it.
"Looking back, we need to teach the players a lesson, focusing on strengthening their psychological quality guidance, as well as their emotions during the game. I don't want to follow Sevilla's old path, and our players are also very easy to lose control." Gao Shen reminded.
The coaching staff headed by Carlo all nodded.
Real Madrid has a dedicated psychologist stationed on the team who is responsible for providing psychological counseling to the players. This is also the coaching configuration that Gao Shen has had since Naples, then to Manchester City and then to Real Madrid.
In the past few years, Real Madrid's results have been far inferior to Barcelona's, and their match results have always been at a disadvantage. This has led to the mentality of Real Madrid players being at a disadvantage.
Barcelona's passing and controlling style of play itself is known for its patience. Years of strong mentality have made them more confident and calm.
In this case, Real Madrid will suffer a psychological disadvantage when facing Barcelona.
On the one hand, it is the eagerness to prove oneself, and on the other hand, it is the pressure of competition.
This was even more obvious during Mourinho's coaching, because Mourinho himself is also an impatient person.
But it's easy to make mistakes, especially mistakes like Medel's.
"Tony Kroos and Modric seemed to be coming across Barcelona for the first time and lacked experience. They gave me a training session and arranged a team training. Insko and Verratti simulated Barcelona and asked them to take turns to attack the third center with the ball.
field."
As soon as Gao Shen finished speaking, Carlo immediately understood what he meant.
"Do you want to train the players' positioning and formation?"
"Yes." Gao Shen nodded, "We can't compete with Barcelona for possession of the ball, at least not now, so Barcelona will often hold the ball and wave it in front of our players. The purpose is very simple, just to let them compete.
"
Gao Shen knows all about Barcelona's old routine.
Once a player grabs the ball, Barcelona can easily form a two-on-one coordination in a small local area, and then use a single point to disintegrate the opponent's entire defensive formation.
Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta are all good at this.
In this case, the defensive player's best choice is to stand still, maintain the overall formation, and remain unmoved.
To put it simply, they can control it as they please.
"Isn't this too passive?" Hierro frowned.
As a Real Madrid star, he is not very interested in Barcelona's football style.
If it were the Real Madrid coached by Mourinho in the past, there would be nothing to say, but after Gao Shen was coached this season, Real Madrid played so well and was in such good shape that there was no reason to continue to stick to the counterattack style.
Gao Shen looked at Hierro, shook his head and said: "In this matter, you made the same mistake as the media and fans."
Hierro was obviously stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"
"In the professional league, every game is independent."
After a pause, Gao Shen continued: "Many people think that we can beat Deportivo La Coruna 7-1 and are in excellent condition. Even if we can't defeat Barcelona, we can at least give it a try, right?"
"But in reality? If we really play against Barcelona at the Nou Camp, we will definitely score a goal. I am absolutely sure, but the problem is, I am not sure that we will win the game by attacking!"
In the football world, two or three days apart, there are many cases of a crazy victory in the first game and a brutal massacre in the latter game.
There have even been cases where a strong opponent was defeated in one game, only to be upset by a weak opponent in the next game.
Is this match-fixing?
Not really.
It is entirely possible that after defeating a strong enemy in the previous round, the mentality was too relaxed, which led to the inability to be nervous in the next round. In the end, he was knocked down, so he was upset by the underdog.
There are thousands of reasons, but one thing is very clear, every game and every opponent is different.
The kind of thinking that what happened in the last round will definitely happen in the next round is simply wrong.
If a football game is so simple, what's the fun in it?
"We can slaughter Deportivo La Coruna seven to one. On the other hand, once we blindly rely on the big team, we may also be slaughtered seven to one by Barcelona. As the head coach, my task is to provide the team with every game.
It is my duty to formulate the most appropriate tactics!"
Hierro nodded and said in an educated tone: "I understand."
"The most important thing when playing Barcelona is to keep the overall formation compact and orderly, with offense and goals coming second, because as I said, Barcelona's defense is very stretched, as long as we can defend their
It’s not difficult to attack and break their goal.”
In Gao Shen's eyes, Barcelona's defense is really awkward, but the premise is that you have to live until the moment you can attack his defense.
Just like the game between Barcelona and Sevilla.
Vilanova did not use Thiago Motta to partner with Pique, but Alexander Song.
Gao Shen speculated that he was worried that the characteristics of Thiago Motta and Pique were not complementary enough.
But Alexander Song played as a midfielder at Arsenal and as a central defender at Barcelona. This presents an adaptability problem.
The Barcelona team's defense is more pressing than any other team. Their defenders have to cover the area of more than 40 meters in front of and behind them for most of a game.
To a certain extent, Barcelona's defensive stretch also comes from this.
Therefore, Song was very uncomfortable and was beaten by Sevilla.
In the first half, Barcelona controlled 70% of the ball, but their offensive threat was far less than that of Sevilla.
But in this game, Puyol is coming back.
"Let people pay close attention to Puyol's situation, especially his condition." Gao Shen warned again.
"Also, I will arrange another training session for Messi and build him a brand new cage to trap him!"
In almost every game against Barcelona, there is a hurdle that Messi cannot get around.
Barcelona is different from other teams in that they have great ability to pass and control the ball. Therefore, no matter what opponent they face, they always insist on my main tactics, and the opponent must use all targeted tactics to restrain Barcelona.
Messi now plays more in the center of the frontcourt, but during Guardiola's time, his position was different.
Sanchez and Aguero are positioned a bit forward, while Messi is relatively behind, giving the feeling of playing in the tenth position.
This is mainly due to the decline in the running ability of Xavi and Iniesta in the midfield, which requires Messi to withdraw a little to connect the team's midfield and frontcourt.
Therefore, Messi's performance in this area is better this season, but his goals are far inferior to Ronaldo's.
The Argentinian has only scored six goals so far, but Ronaldo has already scored 11.
The biggest benefit for Gao Shen and Real Madrid is that the Portuguese is now full of energy and wants to defeat Barcelona at the Nou Camp.
Among the two teams in the Spanish Super League today, Barcelona has the strongest momentum, and Vilanova has created the best start in history.
Although the sophisticated Real Madrid has had some ups and downs, its overall performance has been improving all the way, especially recently, as the team has gradually become more integrated and the players have gradually exerted their strength.
Whether it's against Rayo Vallecano or Deportivo La Coruna, Real Madrid always resolves the battle in the first half.
This also makes the whole world look forward to the upcoming Derby of the Century.
Everyone believes that this will be the most exciting derby of the century in history, and it will also be the most attractive derby of the century for the media and fans.
Everyone wants to see whether this Real Madrid team, which has been trained by the experts, can successfully challenge Barcelona?
Or is it that Barcelona under the coaching of Vilanova will continue the advantages of the past few years?
No one will doubt that Gao Shen has the means and ability to defeat Barcelona, but the premise is, can the current Real Madrid meet Gao Shen's requirements? Can they implement Gao Shen's tactics well?
More importantly, even if they defeat Deportivo by a big score, Real Madrid will still have to face their opponent Porto in the second round of the Champions League group stage at home before challenging Barcelona away.
After losing to Dortmund away from home in the first round, Real Madrid could no longer lose in this match against Porto.
But before the game started, Gao Shen made a decision that shocked the whole world.
