On the evening of October 28, in the ninth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Mallorca away.
From the first minute of the game, Real Madrid's scorers kept testing Mallorca's Israeli goalkeeper Eliot.
Although it was an away game and although there was a large rotation, Real Madrid still launched a wave of violent attacks.
In the sixth minute, Di Maria sent a direct pass. The ball bounced high after hitting the opponent's central defender, but Yin Guayin reacted quickly and used a wonderful volley to win the game.
The first goal.
One to zero!
Afterwards, Real Madrid continued to launch attacks and constantly threatened the goal guarded by Elliott.
In the 22nd minute, after the continuous cooperation of Kaká, Di María and Yin Guayin, Ronaldo shot furiously from the right side of the penalty spot and once again broke Real Mallorca's goal.
Two to zero!
In the 34th minute, another continuous pass from the midfield, Kaká sent a through ball, Ronaldo broke into the penalty area and volleyed, scoring again, further expanding the score for Real Madrid.
Three to zero!
After changing sides in the second half, Real Madrid still controlled the game with ease.
Gao Shen also quickly made substitutions, but starting from the 70th minute, Real Madrid ushered in another wave of attacks.
First, Yin Guayin scored, and then the young player Jese who came on as a substitute scored a goal.
Morata, who also came on as a substitute for Yin Guain, assisted Vazquez and scored a goal in the 91st minute.
In the end, Real Madrid beat Real Mallorca 6-0 in an away game.
…
Although Barcelona also defeated Rayo Vallecano 5-0 in an away game, in comparison, Real Madrid's victory was more difficult.
More importantly, young players such as Jese, Morata, Vazquez and others have all performed well after coming off the bench.
Both AS and Marca believe that this group of young players from Real Madrid have received more competition opportunities under Gao Shen and a stage to show their strength.
Their current strength is still far behind the Champions League, especially the level of playing in the Group of Death, but no one will deny that their growth will bring huge benefits to Real Madrid.
"As Gao Shen said before, Real Madrid will be a team full of potential this season!"
"Obviously, now we see it."
The 6-0 win over Real Mallorca and the 3-3 home draw with Manchester City was definitely a shot in the arm.
It is very obvious to tell everyone that Real Madrid is still Real Madrid.

…………
October 31st, the first leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey.
Real Madrid travels to eastern Spain to challenge Alcoiano, a team in Group 3 of Spain.
This team is currently ranked third in the standings in Group 3 of Spanish C, which is similar to the current level of Real Madrid's C team.
Because of this, Gao Shen deployed an all-substitute lineup for this game.
The goalkeeper will start with captain Casillas, and the defense will also be rotated and substituted.
Marcos Alonso, Albiol, Varane and Nacho.
Among them, Carvajal has played the entire game against Mallorca and was not included in the starting lineup for this game.
In the midfield, Casemiro partners Granero and Insco.
On the front line are Jese, Morata and Vazquez.
Gao Shen's intention is very obvious, to give these players more opportunities to compete and exercise, and also to give the main players a rotation, such as Ronaldo, Ramos and others, who are not even included in the squad, and all stay in Madrid to rest.
Because next, Real Madrid will face Zaragoza in the league, and then they will challenge Manchester City away in the Champions League.
Both games are crucial, especially the game against Manchester City.
…
After a large rotation, Real Madrid's opening kick was a bit chaotic.
In particular, many players have not cooperated seriously for a few games and do not have a good understanding of each other.
But the strength of the team was there and it quickly stabilized.
Starting from the 21st minute, Real Madrid completely controlled the game and kept attacking Alcoiano again and again.
Jesus scored first, followed by Insko, leading by two goals in the first half.
After changing sides in the second half, Vazquez scored a goal, followed by Kaká and Morata.
In the end, Real Madrid beat Alcoano 5-0 away from home.
In two rounds of games, they won the away game with five goals. After Real Madrid returned to their home court, there was no reason why they couldn't get the right to advance.
Gao Shen also praised the young players in the team after the game, thinking they had performed at a high level and encouraging them to keep up their efforts.

…………
Over the weekend, in the tenth round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Zaragoza at the Bernabeu.
Gao Shen continues to rotate the team's starting lineup.
Goalkeeper: Courtois.
Defence: Nacho, Albiol, Varane and Carvajal.
Midfield: Casemiro deep, Toni Kroos and Verratti in the centre.
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Yin Guayin and Di Maria.
Incidentally, Benzema continues to sit on the bench, mainly because of his old injuries.
Since returning from the national team match, he has not been able to train normally, and Gao Shen has not allowed him to start out of caution.
…
Gao Shen's competition requirements for the players are very simple, as long as they win.
Next Wednesday's away game against Manchester City is Real Madrid's key battle, so in this game, Real Madrid's strategy is to use their strength advantage to control the ball and rhythm, and slowly play against Zaragoza.
Even for Ronaldo, Gao Shenduo repeatedly warned the Portuguese to save some energy and not fight too hard.
"Put all your energy into the Champions League match next Wednesday!"
This also led to Real Madrid playing smoothly after the start of the game and not being too anxious.
Zaragoza played away from home and was very cautious at first, but after seeing Real Madrid's intentions clearly, the away team began to try to adopt more aggressive tactics.
In the 23rd minute, Real Madrid took advantage of a corner kick. Toni Kroos assisted Albiol with a header and opened the scoring for Real Madrid.
Just two minutes later, Di Maria got the ball and broke into the right side of the penalty area and scored with his left foot, giving Real Madrid another victory.
Two to zero!
After taking a two-goal lead, Real Madrid began to slow down and play slowly.
Fans of the Bernabeu also know that Real Madrid's real key battle is at the Intihad Stadium, not the Bernabeu, so when they see that the game is not exciting enough, they still encourage the players to keep trying.
Sixty minutes into the second half, Gao Shen began to make substitution adjustments.
Zaragoza almost broke through Real Madrid's goal in the 65th and 2nd minutes.
Courtois once again made a contribution and made a wonderful save to keep Real Madrid's goal intact.
The Belgian goalkeeper is using wonderful saves again and again to prove his strength and value to the world and defend his position in Real Madrid, which also makes Casillas feel very helpless.
The Real Madrid captain has performed well both in the national team and in cup competitions, but he still cannot shake Courtois.
Of course, there is also a profound balance behind this.
Especially when Courtois plays bravely, Gao Shen will have more leverage to suppress Casillas.
After continuous substitutions, Real Madrid began to exert force in the 75th minute.
First, in the melee in the penalty area, Yin Guayin almost scored. Then in the 89th minute, Casemiro stepped forward and pushed near the penalty spot, breaking Zaragoza.
The goal sealed the victory for Real Madrid.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Zaragoza 3-0 at home.
…
Another complete victory, but the process was not pretty at all.
Zaragoza simply cannot compete with Real Madrid in terms of strength, so they did not dare to confront Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. However, Real Madrid has always played with Zaragoza, and many players obviously did not try their best.

For example, Cristiano Ronaldo, this is the first time he has not scored a goal this season.
In the previous nine rounds of the league, he scored a total of 16 goals, but not only did he not score in this round, he was substituted early in the 60th minute.
Gao Shen also explained at the post-match press conference that he hoped Ronaldo could make good adjustments.
"He is very important to us!"
Benzema and Ramos did not play in this game. According to the news released by Real Madrid, both players are currently injured.
Gao Shen also confirmed this.
"Since returning from the national team game, they have been unable to train normally. Ramos's problem lies in his leg, and Benzema also has an old injury. Our coaches and team doctors are helping them, but training has always been difficult.
Not very optimistic.”
Gao Shen revealed that the two are likely to miss the focus game against Manchester City.
"There is no way around it. We have too many wounded."
Gao Shen felt very helpless about this. He even jokingly said that this was the season with the most injuries since he coached, except for his first year in Naples.
"It seems like all the injuries in recent seasons have been gathered into this season."
Real Madrid has also analyzed this internally. The main problem is that many players have old injuries.
For example, Ramos currently has leg and knee injuries. These are old injuries that have not healed before.
This is very problematic.
The same is true for Benzema. Everyone else, even Ronaldo, has injuries.
In this regard, Real Madrid was really unstandardized and not scientific at all.
Not long ago, Marca's team reporter revealed to Gao Shen that they will publish a report on Monday, mainly about Ramos' injury, with the emphasis on his insistence on playing and training despite the huge pain.
After Gao Shen read it, he rejected it directly.
He didn't think there was anything worthy of advocating or admiring this.
When you are injured, you should recuperate instead of going into battle with the injury. What if the tough guy character is the spiritual symbol of Real Madrid and the spirit of Juanito...
But pull it down!
What age are we in and are you still doing this?
The Juanito spirit should be reflected on the court instead of paying for this unprofessional behavior!
Gao Shen even called Butragueno and told him that in the future all such news would be blocked and it was best not to appear in the newspaper.
But it is undeniable that Real Madrid today is really short of major generals.
So much so that after playing against Zaragoza, media reporters asked Gao Shen, who is about to play against Manchester City, what is Gao Shen's biggest wish?
Gao Shen replied with a wry smile: "When I wake up tomorrow, all the wounded will be miraculously healed!"
Don't tell me, there is really good news.
The next day, the team doctor and Buenaventura reported to Gao Shen that Arbeloa could participate in training.
But the Real Madrid full-back was unable to catch up with the game against Manchester City.
