After the game, Gao Shen's substitution received overwhelming praise from the media and fans.
As soon as the game ended, Sacchi, the number one player in the game, spoke highly of Gao Shen's substitutions on Twitter. Whether it was the timing or the pertinence of the substitutions, they were all just right.
"The experienced Ferguson almost took away a draw from the Bernabeu, but Gao Shen's substitutions at critical moments turned the situation around, especially his use of Kaká."
Sacchi believes that Kaká is no longer the same Kaká as he was back then, but Gao Shen’s use of Kaká this season is still very good.
The Brazilian superstar did not play a lot of playing time, but his performance was very good, especially his several performances to turn the situation around at critical moments, which left a deep impression on people. This performance is much better than in the past few years.
In the game against Manchester United, Kaka played a key role as a substitute.
Especially the pass from Modric fully demonstrated Kaka's technical skills. The ball passed to Ronaldo was also very comfortable. The Portuguese directly volleyed and scored the winning goal.
Sacchi believes that depth is the key to Real Madrid's victory!
…
Saki isn't the only one who thinks so.
Henry White, a reporter for the British Daily Telegraph, also commented immediately in his column, believing that Gao Shen's substitution in this game was a key factor in completely breaking the deadlock in the game.
"After Kaká came on as a substitute, Real Madrid's tactics changed significantly. Manchester United was not able to adapt to such changes, and failed to adjust in time. There were gaps in the defense, and Real Madrid seized the opportunity."
Henry White said that this is a duel between Gao Shen and Ferguson, the world's top coach.
"Gao Shen had the last laugh at the Bernabeu and proved his coaching ability."
However, British reporters also said that the Champions League knockout round is a two-leg match, and Real Madrid will also have to accept the test of the away game at Old Trafford.
"That's what really determines the outcome of the game."
Martin Samuel of the Daily Mail also believed in a column that Gao Shen was the number one contributor to Real Madrid's victory at home, and his substitution was the turning point of the game.
"But a 1:0 score is not enough to ensure Real Madrid advances."
Ferguson expressed satisfaction with the score at the post-match press conference. He believed it made the second leg at Old Trafford full of imagination.
"This is the world's top and most difficult tournament. Every detail in the game may affect the outcome of the game. Real Madrid's one-goal advantage at home will have a certain impact on the away game in the second leg."
"But at Old Trafford, they will face the real Red Devils Manchester United!"
The British Times also believes that Manchester United still has a high possibility of advancing, especially at Old Trafford.
Ferguson is focused on preparing for his retirement. The Champions League and the Premier League are the championships he aspires to win, and they are the championships he will try his best to fight for.
"This away game fully proves that Manchester United and Real Madrid are not without the ability to fight."
"More importantly, Real Madrid will experience a dense schedule before and after the Old Trafford game, especially the two games against Barcelona, which are the most critical matchups this season."
"If Real Madrid wants to gain something in La Liga and the Copa del Rey, it must win two games against Barcelona. This is to leave a chance for Manchester United."
The Times analysis believes that Real Madrid's current bench is not strong, with many personnel on the three lines, but it does not have enough players to be able to stand alone in a competition of this level in the Champions League, at least for now.
Advanced rotations are still more common in La Liga and the Copa del Rey, but this can easily bring risks.
There are too many young players, which makes Real Madrid very passionate and energetic, but it also brings hidden dangers of ups and downs in performance.
But in La Liga this season, Barcelona performed too well due to Vilanova, which put huge pressure on Gao Shen and Real Madrid.
"This is Manchester United's chance at Old Trafford!"
"As long as Gao Shen and his Real Madrid lose points before the game at Old Trafford, Manchester United will have a chance to reverse the situation. Ferguson also firmly believes in this."
…
The Spanish media, especially those close to Real Madrid, still have high hopes for the sophisticated team.
Being able to win Manchester United at home is a good start no matter what.
Gao Shen also said at the post-match press conference that this score was not enough to ensure Real Madrid advanced, but he was confident that he could lead the team to maintain this advantage at Old Trafford.
The premise is that everyone must continue to work hard.
Regarding this game, Gao Shen believed that many players on the team performed very well, such as Xabi Alonso, who has always been very stable.
"This season, his responsibilities have changed a lot from the past. He has begun to take on more post-lying organizational and defensive tasks, but so far, I think he has done a very good job."
Toni Kroos and Modric also performed well, but Gao Shen focused on praising Kaká who came on as a substitute.
"He once again showed himself to be a world-class player."
Gao Shen spoke highly of Kaka's performance and firmly believed that Kaka can bring more help to the team in the Champions League and is an important member of the team.
A reporter from the media asked about external rumors that Kaká would be sold after the end of the season. Gao Shen said that he had not received such news, so he could not give an answer.
As for the upcoming schedule, Gao Shen said that he and the team will work hard to prepare.
…
After playing Manchester United, Real Madrid had almost no time to rest.
The weekend ushered in the 24th round of La Liga against Rayo Vallecano. Yin Gua was absent due to injury, and Gao Shen let Morata@
Ma's second goal.
It can be said that this is a decisive goal.
Ramos' header also showed his ability as a defender, and Gao Shen also spoke highly of him.
Gao Shen even believes that Ramos is maturing and ushering in his golden period.
Judging from his recent performance, this is indeed the case.
…
After playing Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid got a golden week of rest.
Gao Shen took advantage of this week to rest and reorganize the team, and at the same time, he also solved and improved the problems that the team had exposed in the past period.
More importantly, Gao Shen needs to prepare for the next devilish schedule.
The weekend's league game is an away game against Deportivo La Coruña.
The Riazor Stadium has always been a problem for Real Madrid, and this time is no exception.
So far this season, Deportivo is ranked at the bottom of La Liga, but the key issue is that they still have hope of relegation.
This is the most troublesome thing.
The whole world knows that in the second half of the season, the biggest headaches are two types of teams, one is to win the championship and the other is to avoid relegation.
Although the relegation teams are not strong enough, they are really going to fight hard.
Especially at their home court, they risk their lives in almost every game.
Although Deportivo is weak in strength, its style is very tenacious, typical of northern Spanish teams.
Therefore, before heading to the Riazor Stadium, Gao Shen emphasized the need to stay calm.
But when it came to the actual competition, something went wrong.
Deportivo played very rough at home.
This is actually within Real Madrid's expectations, after all, Deportivo is not as good as others.
But the game situation got out of control in the 25th minute.
At that time, Deportivo's left back Savio made physical contact with Real Madrid's right back Arbeloa during an attack and was injured. He was forced to come off the field. This completely ignited Deportivo's anger and the smell of gunpowder became
It became thicker.
Then in the next three minutes, Deportivo only got one yellow card in the first 25 minutes, but in the next five minutes, they got three in one go.
The key is that Ramos also received a yellow card.
Gao Shen loudly reminded Ramos on the sidelines to pay attention.
But in the 35th minute, while fighting for a high ball in the penalty area, Ramos collided with the opponent's forward Ricky. As a result, Ricky fell to the ground. When the referee signaled Ramos to take off, his elbow
There is an action.
Yellow card plus penalty kick.
As a result, two yellows turned into one red, and Ramos was sent off directly.
It was only 35 minutes and he got this damn red card. What should Gao Shen do?
