There was a lot of noise outside, but inside Valdebebas, Gao Shen and the coaching staff had already shifted their goals.
Defeating Juventus is already a thing of the past for Gao Shen.
Next, his goal is the Champions League semi-finals.
At the same time, La Liga must continue to maintain pressure on Barcelona.
Another matchup in the Champions League half where Real Madrid is located, AC Milan versus Lyon. The first leg of the two sides was AC Milan's away draw with Lyon 0-0. The second leg will be held at the San Siro Stadium tonight.
"I guess, if nothing unexpected happens, AC Milan will win tonight."
At the regular meeting of the coaching staff in the morning, Gao Shen gave his own judgment.
This is not only his realistic judgment, but according to his memory, AC Milan has also performed very strongly in recent years, reaching the semi-finals and the finals in 2005 and 2007.
Today, Ancelotti is still polishing his lineup, and the main reason is the contradiction between double forwards and single forwards.
Two forwards have the advantages of two forwards, but if you play with two forwards, there are only four people in the midfield, including Kaká.
Pirlo is an attacking midfielder, which means that as a single defensive midfielder, his defensive ability is much weaker than that of a regular defensive midfielder, making him very weak. Therefore, he needs a hitter, which is Gattuso.
Kaká attacks from the front and Pirlo plays the ball from the back. The two are actually somewhat disconnected. This requires one person to connect and advance, and this is Seedorf.
If it is such a four-midfield configuration, then AC Milan's midfield will be very problematic.
"I watched the first leg match between AC Milan and Lyon last night. It was very interesting. Lyon played 433. It was even a little conservative at the beginning. This allowed AC Milan to gain more space, but soon, Holly
Then I realized the problem."
Today, Lyon's head coach is Frenchman Gerard Houllier, the same coach who led Liverpool to win five crowns. Benitez's predecessor was also a good player in cup competitions.
"Houllier allowed the team to press forward as a whole. Malouda and Wiltord, plus center Kalu, suppressed AC Milan's defense. The midfielder then suppressed AC Milan's midfield, directly occupying the field.
Advantage, take the initiative."
When he said this, Gao Shen shook his head and sighed: "Unfortunately, Lyon's offensive ability is too poor, especially the back three composed of Carew, Thiago Mendes, Mohamed Diarra and Pedretti.
The midfielder lacked creativity, which made it difficult for Lyon's offense to create a threat and could only frequently pass long shots, resulting in a zero-to-zero result."
In other words, Lyon failed to score a goal despite taking the initiative and advantage, while AC Milan failed to score a goal under Lyon's suppression, and was even relatively passive on the scene.
"Houllier is a veteran, but Ancelotti is a cunning fox. Lyon had such a good chance at home but failed to win AC Milan. It will be a disaster when they visit San Siro."
As soon as Gao Shen finished speaking, the members of the coaching staff immediately understood what he meant.
Real Madrid's next preparations will revolve around AC Milan.
"Jose, please call the Bernabeu and ask them to help me make arrangements. I want to fly to Milan tonight to watch the away game. I want to see the situation of AC Milan live." Gao Shen looked at Maqueda,
warned.
"Going alone?" Maqueda asked.
It is actually very common for the head coach to spy on the opponent for the next game, and sometimes it is even arranged through the opposing club because the tickets are difficult to obtain.
For example, if Gao Shen wants to go to San Siro to watch a game, even if AC Milan knows about it, they will not stop him and may even provide help.
Many times, the game on the court and the business off the court are separated.
Gao Shen thought for a while and said, "Let Fernando and Lorenzo accompany me."
Maqueda looked surprised, but quickly nodded in agreement, just a little embarrassed.
Ever since Lucas was promoted to the first team and Buenaventura came to Real Madrid, Maqueda, the chief assistant coach, has completely become a handyman.
But he himself was helpless about it.
In terms of friendship, is he comparable to Lucas, a profound confidant?
In terms of professional level, Buenaventura has completely proven to everyone his authority in the field of physical training.
Some people have begun to say secretly that Maquida, the chief assistant coach, is not worthy of his name.
Fortunately, Gao Shen didn't bother him. He probably just thought that he, a tool, would be easy to use.
"Can you two go on a business trip?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.
Lucas is a young man and a loner, so of course there is no problem, and Buenaventura also nodded.
"It's an official trip, I'll go in the afternoon and come back tomorrow morning." Gao Shen said with a smile, then thought of something again, turned to look at Maqueda, "Tell the people at the Bernabeu to make better arrangements for food and accommodation, and take a look at the accommodation environment in the away game."
Everyone laughed, this reason was indeed quite justified.
"Then I will seize the time at noon today and arrange the training for tomorrow morning," Buenaventura said.
He is now starting to get into character.
The most important thing is that after coming to work at Real Madrid, Gao Shen has been sincere to him and the team's performance has been outstanding, giving him something to look forward to.
"In addition to training, please work hard today and give me a physical fitness report of the players, as well as a preliminary training plan for the next two weeks. You must adjust the team's status and physical fitness before the first game of the semifinals."
Buenaventura immediately nodded in agreement.
"Oh, yes, and please give me a physical report and fitness report on Baptista, Robinho and Cicinho later."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded tacitly.
Ronaldo has played in two consecutive games. Although he is a substitute, Gao Shen uses him wisely.
Baptista, Robinho and Cicinho are all the team's major strengths. Now it seems that they really need to be included in the rotation to help the team survive this difficult period and cope with two-front operations.
.
Sometimes, members of the coaching staff also say privately that Gao Shen's skills in managing the locker room are really eye-opening. He is so sophisticated that he doesn't look like a rookie who just left school, but like a seasoned veteran who has been around for many years.
The Brazilian gang was suppressed by him. This is actually not a very capable thing. After all, as long as you have the courage and determination, you can do it. The difficulty lies in keeping the team's performance stable.
But who would have thought that Gao Shen would then use Ronaldo, and now he will use Baptista, Robinho and Cicinho. The key is that there is harmony in the locker room.
When Ronaldo was first employed, many people were worried that the local gangs would cause trouble, especially Ramos. This guy is a thorn in the side and has conflicts with Ronaldo. Once a trouble breaks out, he will ignore it.
Unexpectedly, Ramos was managed obediently by senior officials. Even at Camp Nou, after Ronaldo scored a goal, Ramos ran over to celebrate with Ronaldo. How many people who were ready to watch the show broke their glasses?
And now, Baptista, Robinho and Cicinho are coming back again, and the Brazilian gang is coming back.
They are still the same group of people, but after being dealt with by Gao Shen, in just over a month, the locker room is not only harmonious, but also very united and full of cohesion. Everyone has a lot of energy in their hearts, and training and competitions are full of energy.
I can tell.
In today's Real Madrid locker room, Gao Shen said, who dares to object?
As for this authority, looking back, who has it?
Not to mention moderates like Carlo, Raymond and Del Bosque, even hard-liners such as Rosenborg, Queiroz, Heynckes, Hiddink and Capello looked like they had an iron fist when they coached Real Madrid.
There has never been such authority.
If anything, when Valdano was coaching, maybe there was.
If this is not ability, then what is ability?
…
"I heard that you were blocked by female fans at the gate again this morning?"
After the meeting, after everyone else had gone about their business, Lucas approached Gao Shen and asked with a wink and a smile.
"Who said that?" Gao Shen sat at his desk without stopping his hands.
Flying to Milan in the afternoon, he also had a lot of things to deal with.
"I know everything." Lucas said with a smile, and then clicked his tongue twice, "To be honest, being the head coach is different."
Only then did Gao Shen stop, looked up at his best friend, and shook his head in disgust, "You know nothing, it's because I'm handsome."
"Put it down." Lucas scolded with a smile, but he had to admit that Gao Shen is becoming more and more popular with Real Madrid fans.
You will be recognized by fans when you go out on the street in the morning, you will be recognized by fans on your way to work on your bicycle, and you will be blocked by fans at the gate of Valdebebas...
He is now a proper Madrid star.
"Hey, by the way, do you still remember the female reporter from Real Madrid TV?" Lucas suddenly asked.
Gao Shen frowned and thought for a while, feeling a little impressed that he seemed pretty good-looking.
"What's the matter?" Gao Shen asked without answering.
"You're quite pretty. I heard that I wanted to interview you, but you pushed me?"
Gao Shen was stunned for a moment and then said happily, "Where did you hear so much gossip?"
Lucas laughed, "You said, if you want me to be your intelligence officer, of course I have to go around to inquire about information. I accidentally found out these things from the Bernabeu. Some people said that she wanted to
I asked you to have dinner with me through an interview, but you rejected me."
"Stop!" Gao Shen stood up and shouted, "She really wanted to ask me for an interview. It was work, but I didn't have time, so I asked her to postpone it. Also, I really don't remember her appearance now.
What's going on?"
My only impression seems to be that I saw it at a press conference.
Lucas looked at Gao Shen with disbelief, "You... have a problem."
There is indeed a problem.
Today's Gao Shen is not the same as before. He is young and handsome. He is not rich, but his salary is not cheap, and his future is bright. Such potential stocks are very marketable everywhere, and there is definitely no shortage of girls around.
.
But Gao Shen lived like an ascetic, and there were problems no matter how he looked at it.
"Honestly, have you been hurt? And you no longer believe in love since then?" Lucas asked.
"Get out!" Gao Shen gave the eviction order.
But how could Lucas let him go?
During this time, many people came to him to inquire about the profound things, many of them were women, which made Lucas himself very depressed.
They are all single, why should they ask me about Gao Shen?
Don’t you think this is too cruel to me?
Gao Shen was dumbfounded by this guy, and in the end he could only suppress his laughter and tell him a "secret" in a serious manner.
"My engagement was broken off. I vowed to succeed within three years, return home in fine clothes, and make that woman regret it!"
"So, don't mention your relationship with me for three years, I want to fight!"
