On the evening of February 9th, Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
In the 23rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Sevilla at home.
Gao Shen made appropriate rotations in this game, but Ronaldo, who aims to compete with Messi for the league's top scorer, continued to start, and players such as Kaká and Yin Guayin also started.
After the opening, Real Madrid took advantage of their home court to launch a fierce attack on Sevilla.
Sevilla is not a fuel-saving lamp either. Even in the away game, they still performed extremely tenaciously.
But in the fourteenth minute of the first half, Yin Guayin seized the opportunity to open the scoring for Real Madrid.
In the 26th minute, Vazquez made a pass from the right. Kaka stopped the ball with his back in the penalty area and knocked back. Cristiano Ronaldo shot with his left foot, giving Real Madrid another victory, 2-0.
After changing sides in the second half, Ronaldo scored two goals not long after the game started, sealing the score to 4-0 for Real Madrid.
The Portuguese also scored a hat trick and continued to maintain his lead over Messi.
After Gao Shen stabilized the situation, starting from the 55th minute, he made continuous substitutions and adjustments to prepare for the Champions League in mid-week.
Sevilla took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
In the 87th minute, former Real Madrid player Negredo scored a goal for Sevilla.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 4-1 at home.
After the game, Negredo even ran over to hug Gao Shen and wish him a successful start in the Champions League next Wednesday.
"Although I am a Sevilla player, I am still a Real Madrid fan and I will still cheer for Real Madrid!"
Gao Shen also expressed his gratitude on behalf of Real Madrid.
In fact, Gao Shen is quite sorry to lose Negredo. This high center forward is really useful.
Although Morata can be considered a high center forward, he still needs training.
In this game, Morata, Jesus and others also came on the bench and performed quite well.
But a center like Negredo is basically unlikely to return to Real Madrid.
At least being the main player in a team like Sevilla is much better than returning to Real Madrid and being the bench.
…
The day after playing Sevilla, Real Madrid conducted recovery training in the morning and adjustment training in the afternoon. They held an analysis meeting, mainly focusing on the situation of Sevilla's game.
Gao Shen has always felt that post-game analysis like this is often the most valuable.
Because players can clearly know what problems they encounter in the game and how to solve them.
Next time they encounter a similar situation, they will know how to deal with it.
The game against Manchester United is on the evening of the 13th, but preparations start on the afternoon of the 11th.
Gao Shen asked the team to conduct targeted defensive training based on Manchester United's offensive characteristics.
Manchester United's offensive characteristics can be seen from the trident of Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez. It is basically the same now, except that there is an extra passer Sneijder.
Gao Shen's strategy is to use the team's defensive position to isolate Manchester United's offensive players so that they cannot form a joint force and fall into individual combat.
Needless to say, there are two wings. Rooney in the frontcourt is not the kind of player who can effectively link up. Sneijder's passing ability is very good, but his linking ability is not strong. This determines that Real Madrid only needs to defend.
If it is in place, it can separate Manchester United's frontcourt attack.
In the midfield, Real Madrid has the advantage, and then they can just suppress Manchester United's double midfielders.
Gao Shen does not intend to hold back in this game, nor is he afraid of Manchester United's away goals, but wants to give Manchester United a try at the Bernabeu.
The players also know this, so they work harder in training.
But in the middle of the team's training, Carlos Vargas suddenly ran out of the analysis room and rushed to the training ground like a gust of wind, shouting "Gao Shen" all the way.
"Phone! Phone!" Vargas shouted loudly, waving the cell phone in his hand.
Everyone inside and outside the training ground suddenly stopped.
Gao Shen, who was standing on the sidelines, woke up with a start, rushed out of the training ground quickly, took the phone from Vargas' hand, fiddled with it a few times, and called back.
"Hey, Mom."
"Gao Shen, Xiaoqing's amniotic water has broken. We are already on the way. Come quickly."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
After Gao Shen answered the phone, he waved to Zidane, Carlo and others, and ran away without looking back.
"Boss, everything goes well!"
"Be careful on the road, boss!"
"Congratulations, congratulations, boss!"
The players were shouting loudly, all happy for Gao Shen.
Everyone in the team knew that Gao Shen's wife was due to give birth in the next two or three days. Looking at him now, how could he not know that he was about to give birth?
"Okay, okay, cheer up, train hard, and don't let your boss get distracted!" Carlo shouted.
Everyone also cheered and returned to the training ground.
Zidane and Hierro also took the opportunity to communicate with the players about the problems that were exposed in the training just now.
Gao Shen had already told them his thoughts and requirements, and now they were performing their duties on Gao Shen's behalf.
…
Otherwise, are media reporters really pervasive?
When Gao Shen arrived at the hospital, reporters were already waiting at the gate.
Obviously, they all received the news.
However, the media reporters were also well informed and knew that Gao Shen was definitely not in the mood to be interviewed, so they let him pass directly and kept shouting that Gao Shen had good news to come out and tell them.
Gao Shen rushed all the way to the delivery ward of the hospital. His father and father-in-law were guarding the door. When they saw Gao Shen running over anxiously, they all smiled and comforted him.
"Don't worry, it won't be so fast."
"Yes, the doctor said, we have to wait a little longer."
Gao Shen experienced this kind of scene for the first time and wondered, "Why?"
"This is how normal births happen, so we tell you, take your time." Su Zhijun smiled.
Childbirth is a critical moment for pregnant women, and that is all a thing of the past.
Now that science is so advanced, it is no longer a serious problem.
Gao Shen entered the ward anyway, and when he saw Su Qing standing up and walking around, he felt a little relieved.
But to be honest, the heart-wrenching screaming scene he imagined did not happen.
Su Qing was even in a relaxed mood now. Seeing Gao Shen running out of breath, she laughed at him in turn.
"Didn't I ask you to take your time?"
Gao Shen walked over and helped her, "Isn't this my first time? I'm a little anxious."
Everyone couldn't help but find it funny, but it was the same for anyone who was going to be a father for the first time.
"Actually, if you ask me, I should have waited until I gave birth before telling you. There are doctors, midwives and nurses here, so many of them, that you are not needed at all." Su Qing felt disgusted.
The most important thing is that she knows that Gao Shen is really busy recently.
On the 13th, they will face Manchester United at home. This is Real Madrid's first Champions League knockout match after many years.
The whole of Madrid is eagerly looking forward to this, and the pressure on Gao Shen, the head coach, is not small.
"It's okay. When this kid is born, he will bring me good luck." Gao Shen said with a smile.
…
The waiting time is undoubtedly the most excruciating.
Su Qing was fine two days ago, and even went to the Bernabeu to watch the 4-1 victory over Sevilla, but now she is about to give birth.
I was admitted to the hospital in the afternoon, and by the time the baby was still alive at night, Gao Shen was a little anxious.
He saw a doctor and was reassured after repeated confirmation that there was no danger.
If there was really a danger, he would definitely have saved the baby first, or simply performed a caesarean section.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gao, our whole family is Real Madrid fans, and we all bought tickets for Wednesday's Bernabeu game. I can definitely guarantee you this!" the female doctor in charge of the delivery assured.
Gao Shen kept saying thanks.
Later, Zidane, Carlo and others also called one after another, and then close friends such as Guardiola and Lucas received news one after another. They all called to inquire and understand the situation.
Gao Shen thanked them one by one, but he also waited anxiously.
It was not until nearly nine o'clock in the evening that the doctor finally took Su Qing into the delivery room for painless delivery.
In less than half an hour, the baby's cry could be heard.
I don't know why, but after hearing this burst of crying, Gao Shen also started crying.
He sat on a chair outside, and his tears fell silently.
Gao Jianguo, Su Zhijun and others were all dancing for joy. This was the third generation of the two families, and everyone regarded it as a treasure.
Especially when the nurse came out with the newborn baby with a wrinkled face, they all praised him for being beautiful and having eyebrows like Su Qing's, which made Gao Shen feel particularly puzzled.
How can you tell?
"Hey, by the way, what's your name?"
"clever."
"The Ming of being upright? Or the Ming of a hundred schools of thought contending?"
"The bright and aboveboard Ming."
"Okay! Okay! I got this [Ming] word well, it's great!"
Mr. and Mrs. Gao Jianguo and Mr. and Mrs. Su Zhijun were teasing the children over there, talking to each other, but Gao Shen was left alone and no one cared about them.
He really wanted to ask: Please, four of you, this is my son, can you show me?
But does he dare to say this?
Especially looking at these four old people, if he dares to make remarks, he will definitely be labeled as a villain immediately.
"Hey, by the way, Gao Shen, what are you doing so stupidly? Come here and give your son a hug."
Gao Shen was almost moved to tears.
You finally remembered that he is my son!
The grievances he felt completely disappeared the moment he picked up his son.
The little guy is really ugly. As they say, it hasn't bloomed yet and will look better in a few days.
He slept so soundly, and he didn't feel anything if someone else hugged him.
Holding Gao Shen in the palm of your hand, you really feel like you are connected by blood.
At this moment, he really felt like he was integrated into this world.
Because he has taken root here.
Soon, Su Qing was also pushed out.
Gao Shen took his son and put him next to Su Qing.
Originally, he wanted to hold his precious son's little hand and take a photo, but the four old people said that this was not a good look due to superstition and they would not allow his face to be photographed.
As a last resort, Gao Shen grabbed his little feet, took a photo, and then posted it on Twitter and Weibo, thanking everyone who cared about him and telling them the good news.
Soon, congratulatory calls came one after another, and text messages came one after another.
Over the years, Gao Shen has made many friends in European football.
Now, they are all happy for him.
Naturally, this also includes Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson.
But Ferguson said, congratulations are congratulations, the game should be won or won.
This is called distinction between public and private matters.
