Being profound does not mean being tough, but being relaxed and methodical.
For example, during the holidays, he gave the team a whole day off after the morning recovery training the day after playing against Real Sociedad.
This made the Real Madrid players very satisfied.
Subsequently, the training progressed well, the players worked very hard, Buenaventura's training results were very good, and Gao Shen gave the team a half-day holiday on Wednesday afternoon. These were unexpected surprises for the players.
Holidays are one thing, players' treatment is another.
The day after playing against Juventus, the Bernabeu notified Ramos' agent to formally initiate contract renewal negotiations with Ramos.
Despite being well prepared, Ramos was surprised by the Bernabeu's efficiency.
Afterwards, Gao Shen had another conversation with Arbeloa.
The Real Madrid right back received a notice of contract renewal negotiations from the Bernabeu on the same day.
This 23-year-old youth training youngster has already had a professional contract, but his annual salary is very low, even lower than Ramos. He has long been looking forward to getting a more generous contract, but in the past few years,
He never waited.
Now, he has received the contract extension and salary increase he dreamed of.
De la Red, Negredo, Callejon, Juan Mata, Parejo...
After meeting with Gao Shen, these players started the contract renewal and signing process one after another. Some of them still have training contracts with the Real Madrid youth team instead of formal professional player contracts.
The annual salary of youth training players is very low. Even Ramos's annual salary after contract renewal should be between 1 million and 1.5 million euros. Because they are still very young, Real Madrid cannot give them all at once.
They went up too high.
If the price rises too high, it will no longer rise. What should I do?
Among this group of players, one is quite special, and that is Felipe Luis.
He is currently a player on loan from Real Madrid. In theory, the contract is not with Real Madrid, but Real Madrid has priority.
Gao Shen clearly told the Bernabeu that Felipe Luis must be signed, otherwise Real Madrid will definitely regret it.
The Bernabeu is also actively preparing to activate the buyout clause, but this will take some time.
It can be said that after playing for Juventus and Real Sociedad, Valdebebas launched a vigorous contract renewal and signing campaign, signing outstanding youth training players on a large scale, and renewing contracts for young players who have performed well in the team.
.
New chairman Martin also held a press conference specifically for this purpose, explaining his philosophy to all Real Madrid fans and media. He said that Real Madrid's contract renewal has given a strong proof to the world.
That is why Real Madrid’s youth training deserves recognition.
Martin even did not forget to connotate Florentino, saying that the team will further upgrade from the past Zidane plus Pavin policy, increase trust in young players, and will continue to introduce high-level foreign players.
"I am confident that we will be able to make Real Madrid the most powerful team in the world again within two years!"
Martin's words were exciting, sonorous and powerful, and won a lot of applause and cheers.
However, some media noticed that Gao Shen and the players did not attend the press conference.
The Bernabeu's explanation for this is that they are all focused on preparing for the game and cannot spare time.
At the press conference, during the media's free question session, some media sharply pointed out that someone took a photo of Martin's team having a private meeting with Eriksen. Does this mean that Eriksen will take over the Bernabeu after the end of this season?
Martin denied this and reiterated his trust and support for Gao Shen.
He took out the rhetoric that he had said countless times in the past, and it was nothing more than how he discovered the depth in the first place, how he was optimistic about him, how he used him under huge pressure, how...
Anyway, in one word, Real Madrid is what it is today because of Martin's hard work and courage.
But as to why Real Madrid still did not renew Gao Shen's contract as the season was coming to an end, Martin began to be vague.
"The most important task for our team now is to play well in La Liga and the Champions League."
But how can these words convince the media?
Players can be renewed, but Gao Shen cannot be renewed?
Being forced to do nothing, Martin could only say that the team had plans in this regard and was going through the process.
Martin did not give a clear answer as to whether Gao Shen would stay on after the end of this season, but repeatedly emphasized his trust and support for Gao Shen.
So, the next day, the media published explosive news.
Martin is tired of being conservative and sophisticated, and his new favorite is Eriksen!
Even AS and Marca have revealed that the news they received from the Bernabeu is that Real Madrid has shown no sign of renewing Gao Shen's contract so far.
"Even if Real Madrid finally wins one of the La Liga and Champions League titles, Gao Shen may not be able to stay."
"In the history of Real Madrid, the coaches who resigned after winning La Liga and the Champions League include Capello and Heynckes, and Del Bosque later. Gao Shen will not be spared either."
Aspen believes that there are two biggest obstacles preventing Gao Shen from retaining his position. One is his qualifications, and the other is his conservative style. Both of these prevent Real Madrid from handing the team over to his hands with confidence.

On the evening of April 16, in the 33rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Getafe away.
Since the Champions League is approaching midweek, Gao Shen once again made rotations in this game.
Among the players he trusts, only the central axis of Raul, Guti, Ramos and Casillas will start.
Baptista partnered with Pablo Garcia as a double midfielder, Robinho and Cassano were on the wings, and the defense was Raul Bravo, Helguera, Ramos and Cicinho.
The game was controlled by Real Madrid from the start.
The visiting team firmly suppressed Getafe through high pressure and almost created a goal in the 27th minute.
After a through ball from Guti, Raul succeeded in countering offside and made a single shot. He shot the ball through the goalkeeper's crotch with a low shot, but the opponent's central defender Pulido cleared the ball in front of the goal line.
Real Madrid players protested the ball, believing that the ball had already crossed the goal line when Pulido made a clearance.
But the referee still indicated that this was not a goal.
After that, Real Madrid continued to suppress Getafe. Finally, in the 56th minute, Robinho, Raul and Baptista formed a rib attack cooperation on the left, and Robinho broke through with the ball.
, after attracting the defensive attention, it was distributed to Raul in time.
Raul stopped the ball for Baptista, and the Brazilian midfielder inserted a furious shot through Getafe's goal, one to zero.
Subsequently, Real Madrid made substitutions, and Raul and Ramos came off the field one after another.
In the final stage of the game, starting from the 80th minute, Getafe formed a wave of attacks against Real Madrid, trying to break through Real Madrid's goal.
But after nearly two months of training, Gao Shen has enough confidence in Real Madrid's defense.
In the end, Real Madrid took away 1-0 in the away game and won eight consecutive victories.
…
When Real Madrid defeated Getafe with a goal away from home, Barcelona welcomed Villarreal, their opponent in the Champions League semi-finals, at home.
This will be the first of three games between the two sides in the next ten days.
Both teams tried their best and the game was very intense.
Villarreal, under the guidance of Pellegrini, is a very South American-style team. Through its balanced 442 formation, it has brought a lot of trouble to Barcelona, but the opening eleven minutes
A mistake allowed Eto'o to score.
It is worth mentioning that Barcelona central defender Edmilson returned for this game.
This will be a strong complement to Barcelona's defense.
…………
…………
While Real Madrid narrowly beat Getafe 1-0 and Barcelona defeated Villarreal 1-0, far away in Milan, Italy, this same city derby was being staged at the San Siro Stadium.
The Milan duo are currently ranked second and third in Serie A respectively. It is difficult for them to pose a threat to the league leader Juventus. There is not much suspense about qualifying for the Champions League. At best, it is the difference between directly entering the Champions League group stage and participating in the play-offs.
.
The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals is about to be decided, and many media have predicted before the game that Ancelotti is likely to use a substitute lineup, while Inter Milan, which does not have the pressure of the European war, is likely to use all its main players.
But what is unexpected is that it is AC Milan who plays the main force, and it is Mancini's Inter Milan who takes the initiative to change the formation.
Ancelotti still played with a 4-4-2 lineup. Except for Serginho who was replaced by Maldini and Inzaghi who was replaced by Gilardino, AC Milan faced off with the entire main lineup.
Inter Milan hid key players such as Materazzi and Samuel and played in a lineup of 4,231.
The results were also surprising.
AC Milan had the advantage throughout the game, but was never able to break through Inter Milan's goal. The Nerazzurri, passive in possession of the ball, focused on defensive counterattacks and instead launched more threatening attacks.
It looks like Inter are going to win, right?
But football is so weird.
In the second half, AC Milan took advantage of a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt. Kaladze stopped the ball in his chest and volleyed the goal, scoring the only goal in the field for the Rossoneri.
What's even more paradoxical is that neither team played conservatively.
Mancini learned from Lyon's tactics of restraining AC Milan in two rounds, adopted a high-position press and tried his best to steal AC Milan's defense and Pirlo, and once again it was effective, preventing AC Milan's offense from spreading.
Ancelotti was obviously on guard against this move, and the strategy he adopted was also to increase the frontcourt press.
This resulted in the game switching between offense and defense very quickly. Both sides focused on each other's frontcourt, making the game quite enjoyable.
Although there is no smooth passing and coordination, such open games are still very rare in Serie A.
But in the end, Inter Milan, who looked like they were going to win, lost, and AC Milan, who looked like they were going to win without scoring, won.
All in all, this is a very strange game.
After Gao Shen returned home after playing Getafe, he watched the replay of the game. He didn't have Mancini's phone number. Otherwise, he really wanted to ask Mancini.
Are you Ancelotti's shill?
Otherwise, how to explain Inter Milan's sudden change of formation before the crucial decisive battle?
