On the evening of November 11th, Valencia Municipal Stadium.
In the eleventh round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged LaVante away.
When Ronaldo kicked the ball to Benzema and the French center quickly knocked back to the deep midfielder Xavi Alonso, Levante began to press and press fiercely on Real Madrid's midfield.
How vicious?
Just three seconds after the whistle sounded, Xabi Alonso was knocked to the ground by former Inter Milan striker Martins who rushed over first.
This move by the Nigerian striker won warm applause from the fans at LaVante.
Obviously, the fans at the scene hope that they will be more "brave" against the superior Real Madrid.
Gao Shen was mentally prepared for this situation and signaled the players to stabilize their position on the sidelines.
He came to this trip with the mentality of training soldiers.
More importantly, he wanted to test whether the team could still pass and control the ball smoothly and control the rhythm under such high-intensity and fast-paced pressing.
This is also a test for the players' running and response.
Theoretically, Real Madrid players have such technical abilities, but tacit understanding and cooperation are not enough.
After the game restarted, Real Madrid began to control the ball more in the backcourt.
Gao Shen stood in the command area of the visiting team's coaching bench, paying attention to the passing and movement of the midfield and backfield players.
The three midfielders of Modric, Xavi Alonso and Toni Kroos are relatively deep and maintain close contact with the defense. The two full-backs Carvajal and Marcos Alonso are relatively deep.
Move forward.
This makes Real Madrid's entire formation look very layered and flexible. Especially after being intercepted by Levante, Real Madrid can always quickly adjust the team's formation and plug the loopholes.
Defense is never about scoring goals, but more about closing loopholes.
As long as all loopholes are plugged, the defense will be stable.
In terms of passing and control, Real Madrid is still not very smooth, but Gao Shen is not in a hurry. He didn't even make adjustments, he just stood on the sidelines and watched silently.
He believes that Real Madrid players have enough wisdom and ability to adjust themselves on the court.
Facts also proved that as time went by, Real Madrid gradually adapted to Laiwante's pressing, and the home team also began to slow down its offensive after a wave of proactive attacks at the beginning failed to work.
But at this moment, Modric suddenly advanced with the ball and sent a ball from behind. Cristiano Ronaldo went straight behind him, stopped the ball and shot a long shot, which was firmly saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Munua.
Gao Shen was on the sidelines, still applauding vigorously, applauding the players' performance.
…
Gradually taking the initiative in the game, Real Madrid did not give Levente a chance to breathe and took the initiative to put pressure forward.
The team also made mistakes in passing and receiving, and Levent also created a good opportunity, but Courtois saved the ball steadily and did not let the opponent seize the opportunity.
Gao Shen saw a very good phenomenon on the sidelines, that is, the communication between Xabi Alonso, Toni Kroos and Modric has increased significantly, and they are constantly getting along with each other.
As the game progresses, it can be clearly seen that the communication and movement between Real Madrid's midfield and backfield players become smoother and smoother.
This is reflected in the fact that LaVante's first few presses and pressures were all very effective, even forcing Real Madrid to make frequent mistakes in passing and receiving, and then the effect became worse and worse.
But in the 22nd minute, when Real Madrid began to get better, a sudden pass and catch error was made. Levante midfielder Barquero seized the opportunity and sent a direct pass to Black Lightning Martin.
Si stepped back at great speed and passed the ball to the right rib of the penalty area. Rodriguez followed up, stopped the ball, got rid of Pepe, and scored Real Madrid's goal.
This goal completely ignited the passion of Laiwante fans.
Gao Shen, who was watching from the sidelines, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Football can be so weird sometimes.
The most dangerous time is often when you think you are stable.
I guess Laiwante himself didn't expect that they would suddenly get such a chance to counterattack and score a goal.
"Hold on! Keep on keeping on, don't mess up, hold on to your position, control the ball and the rhythm!"
Gao Shen walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly, reminding the players to hold their ground.
"Xavi." Gao Shen shouted Xavi Alonso's name, indicating that he should stabilize the midfield.
There were also Toni Kroos and Modric, and then Gao Shen named Pepe's name.
This mistake by the Portuguese central defender is also a bit exaggerated. This guy is as easy to take risks as Ramos.
But Gao Shen reminded him to stay focused and continue playing like he just did.
Before conceding the goal, Real Madrid's rhythm was right and they also played well in passing and cutting under pressure.
…
After the defense and passing and ball control gradually stabilized, Real Madrid began to free up their hands.
Gao Shen allowed Carvajal to actively participate in the frontcourt attack, and his carefully crafted right-side attack began to take effect.
Di Maria, Modric and Carvajal's side began to actively create threats.
As the attack on the right improved, LeVante's defense began to tilt to this side, and Ronaldo on the left got more room to move and began to become more active.
In the 41st minute, it was a split pass sent by Modric from the right. Carvajal forcibly broke in from the right, received the ball and made a strong pass. As a result, on the right side of the penalty area, he was beaten by Laiwante's left back Hu
Anflan stumbled and fell to the ground.

The referee clearly understood the situation and gave Juanfran a yellow card.
This is already Laiwante's fourth yellow card in the first half.
Xabi Alonso took the initiative to take the free kick and sent a curve ball with precise placement.
In the penalty area, there was a melee among the crowd. Cristiano Ronaldo got rid of Navarro who was guarding him, jumped up first, and headed the ball into the far corner.
Goalkeeper Munua flew to save the ball, but was unable to do anything.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
!
!
"
The Portuguese scored again and equalized the score for Real Madrid.
Gao Shen also loudly applauded Ronaldo's goal on the sidelines, and Real Madrid players rushed out of the stadium to celebrate the goal with the Portuguese superstar.
One to one, the two sides returned to the same starting line.
The first half also ended with this score.
…
During the halftime break, Gao Shen proposed improvements and solutions to several problems in the first half. He encouraged Carvajal on the right to move forward more proactively and participate in the previous attack.
Both Modric and Di Maria also encouraged the young teammate.
Gao Shen wants the team to ensure that on the basis of passing and controlling the ball, the counterattack speed after stealing the ball should be faster to counteract the threat of Real Madrid.
In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.
Di Maria began to get more performance opportunities on the right, especially with the support of Modric and Carvajal. The Argentine was even more comfortable. First, when cutting inside on the right, he dribbled the ball away from the two players.
The defensive player made a pass.
Benzema's header went slightly wide and he missed a good opportunity.
But soon, Di Maria made a comeback.
After Carvajal inserted on the right wing, he passed the ball back to the Argentinian at the front of the penalty area.
After Di Maria stopped the ball, he passed the defender and kicked a long shot with his left foot, which went straight to the far corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Munua made a flying save and blocked the ball from the baseline with one hand.
Corner kick!
While the Levante fans were still cheering for Munua's wonderful save, Toni Kroos's corner kick accurately landed in the penalty area. Pepe, who was unguarded, headed the goal from close range from the back point.
Headed the ball into Levante's goal.
Two to one!
reverse!
The Portuguese central defender clenched his fists and roared excitedly.
He was the culprit for conceding just now, but now, he used a wonderful header to successfully reverse the situation for Real Madrid!
Gao Shen also cheered for Pepe from the sidelines.
…
After the reversal, Real Madrid controlled the ball and the rhythm. Laiwante lost his energy and tried to counterattack several times, but failed to grab the ball.
The situation has been completely controlled by Real Madrid.
Gao Shen also started to make substitutions. Kaka replaced Toni Kroos to strengthen the team's frontcourt attack.
Only eight minutes into the game, Kaká suddenly sent a direct pass while dribbling the ball in the middle. Benzema crossed to the left side of the penalty area and was tackled to the ground by Navarro when he received the ball. The referee
The penalty was awarded without hesitation.
Xavi Alonso, who performed well on both offense and defense in this game, took the penalty kick and scored it in one stroke, giving Real Madrid another victory, three to one!
The Spanish midfielder was inexplicably excited.
What is even more surprising is that in the 87th minute before the end of the second half, Real Madrid once again got a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt, and it was Xavi Alonso who took the penalty. Mohamed came on as substitute for Benzema.
Latta hit a header from the edge of the small penalty area to seal the victory for Real Madrid.
Four to one!
Morata was so excited that he forgot all about himself and ran all the way. No one could stop him.
Gao Shen also kept applauding on the sidelines. Looking back at Carlo and others, he found that they all looked happy.
"Tonight, our midfield was organized very smoothly. Laiwante's pressing was very fierce, but we were able to cope with it easily. The players' movements were also much more reasonable, and the passing and reception were also very organized."
Needless to say, you can tell by looking at Carlo's expression that he is very satisfied with the process of this game.
Gao Shen is equally satisfied.
Although a lot of problems were exposed during the game, overall, there were more positive aspects.
The biggest surprise is the right side.
After the passing and controlling of the ball in the midfield and backcourt were stabilized, and when Real Madrid seized the rhythm of the game, Carvajal's performance brought a big surprise to Gao Shen and others.
This young player was really buried in the second team before.
Now, Gao Shen and others are more certain that Carvajal is trustworthy on the right.
Zidane, Hierro and others looked at Gao Shen with obviously more admiration.
Because from the beginning, Gao Shen appointed Carvajal, saying that he wanted to create an offensive combination of Carvajal and Marcelo on the wings. However, due to various reasons, Arbeloa performed better.
, and now Marcelo is injured again.
Therefore, Real Madrid's two full-backs have not been able to fit together.
But judging from Carvajal's performance, it is still worth looking forward to.
Even from the beginning, Carvajal's defense was actually pretty good.
Arbeloa is good at defense, Carvajal is good at offense, and Real Madrid's right wing is quite unique.
This also makes people can't help but start to look forward to it. If Marcelo returns and regains his form, what a spectacular scene it will be for Real Madrid's two wings to fly together?
