After the restorative training in the morning, everyone began to rest. Gao Shen asked Lucas to call Ronaldo to the head coach's office. As soon as the Brazilian came in and sat down, Gao Shen asked.
Ronaldo was surprised. He suddenly looked up at Gao Shen and found that the head coach's eyes were staring at him. He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. This was definitely not a joke, but serious.
"You said." Ronaldo did not answer on the spot.
His relationship with Gao Shen was not so good that he would confide in him without asking the reason.
Even, to a certain extent, he was afraid that he would be betrayed by Gao Shen accidentally.
Who in the team doesn't know that this young man is a cunning fox?
"In this game against AC Milan, I need the center to suppress the opponent's two central defenders and cooperate with the left and right wings to suppress AC Milan's defense, just like the tactics adopted by Lyon and Inter Milan, but we will
Do it more radically than them, do you understand what I mean?"
Ronaldo thought about it for a moment and nodded to express his understanding.
The meaning behind radical is that Real Madrid's players need to invest more troops, run more and more frequently, and press harder and harder, and behind all this is the players' hard work and consumption.
Ronaldo never doubted his state of mind. He wanted to win and was eager to win, but he was not very confident in his body.
"How far does it need to go?" Ronaldo asked.
"Go all out, and if everything goes well, the first half will be even shorter."
Ronaldo didn't ask what if it didn't go well, because he knew that if it didn't go well, there would be no point in asking.
"I can't fight for the top like Negredo did. No matter if it's Nesta, Stam, Maldini or Kaladze, I can't beat them." Ronaldo said again.
Gao Shen nodded, "Understood, you don't need to do this, you just need to restrict their shots."
"And...goal?"
"right."
This is Gao Shen's intention in using Ronaldo. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for him to go directly to Negredo?
To put it simply, Gao Shen uses Ronaldo in order to improve the scoring efficiency as much as possible, but it will definitely weaken the pressure in the frontcourt to some extent. Ronaldo cannot provide the kind of pressure that Negredo can provide as a high center forward.
"What did Lorenzo say?" Ronaldo asked again.
Real Madrid players still trust Buenaventura.
"He feels that there is nothing wrong with his body. The key is to look at the players themselves."
That is the so-called willingness to fight or not.
This point is actually very important.
Some even say that smart paddling on the court is the mark of a good player.
The so-called smartness actually means being able to be lazy and take a breather without affecting the overall performance of the team.
But now, what Gao Shen wants is to try his best and last for forty-five minutes.
The reason why Gao Shen asked was because there was no way to force it.
If Ronaldo agrees to him now but fails to do so on the court, then Gao Shen will only be cheated, so usually at this time, the head coach will definitely give priority to Negredo.
What's more, Ronaldo also has to consider a risk. The more he consumes and the closer his physical fitness is to the limit, the easier it is for players to get injured. The World Cup is just around the corner. If he gets injured, he may miss the World Cup.
But Gao Shen still wanted to ask, because Ronaldo said that he wanted a Champions League!
Now, it depends on how strong Ronaldo's desire is.

"Another one to zero."
While Gao Shen, who was far away in Madrid, was talking to Ronaldo, Milan's Ancelotti also got a detailed report on Real Madrid's match against Getafe. They also specially arranged scouts to follow Real Madrid's game on the spot and spy on the military situation.
"I now feel that this young head coach of Real Madrid is really interesting."
Assistant coach Mauro Tassotti nodded, "At the age of twenty-five, it is not easy to lead Real Madrid to what it is now."
After saying that, the AC Milan assistant coach showed a faint smile.
Everyone knows what Real Madrid looked like before Gao Shen took over. But now, La Liga is ten points behind, on par with Barcelona, has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and met AC Milan.
If nothing else, this report card is eye-catching enough.
"But it's a pity that he still can't conquer the picky Real Madrid." After Ancelotti finished speaking, he even laughed.
According to the information, Real Madrid Chairman Martin did not give a clear commitment to renew Gao Shen's contract, and everyone knows that this basically means that Gao Shen will have no chance with Real Madrid this summer.
Of course, if he does achieve outstanding results this season, such as winning the La Liga and Champions League doubles, then that's another matter.
From the current point of view, no one can deny that Real Madrid has such a possibility, but it is still the least favored among the top four.
Similar to Villarreal.
"In fact, it's normal. Judging from the current situation of Real Madrid, there will definitely be a major reorganization this summer. Who can invest tens of millions of euros in such a deal, or even make a transaction of over 100 million euros, bet on a 20-million-euro deal?"
What about a five-year-old?"
Mauro Tassotti took it for granted.
"Not to mention Real Madrid, La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, which team's season transfer does not involve tens of millions of euros in funds, coupled with the team's personnel salary costs and investment in various aspects, do you think,
Would anyone really take a big bet on him?"
Ancelotti nodded.
Now there is a debate, is it Gao Shen who makes Real Madrid? Or is Real Madrid the Gao Shen?
This is actually a question with no answer, because the two are one.
But there is a consensus in the professional football circle that putting out a fire midway and taking full control of a season are two completely different concepts. It can even be said that no one will admit how outstanding a head coach who puts out a fire midway is.
Unless he coaches alone for a full season and then proves himself with results.
If Gao Shen can lead Real Madrid to win the championship, his performance in putting out the fire midway is indeed very impressive. The best and most ideal result is to stay at Real Madrid, just like Vicente del Bosque, and then use his full season results to prove his strength.
But unfortunately, the team he plays for is Real Madrid, and given the current situation, it may be difficult to give him such an opportunity.
And which other team would be willing to give him such an opportunity?
There are so many head coaches who have brilliant results in the middle of the season but are in complete disarray after a full season.
What's more, those are all mature head coaches, and Gao Shen is only twenty-five years old.
"Actually, Capello is right. He should find a team that is willing to trust him and support him, allowing him to try and improve his tactical concepts and ideas, and then build his own team and lead the team.
Get results and prove yourself again."
Ancelotti suddenly felt that Capello really appreciated the profound, otherwise he would not have given such pertinent advice.
"But in the top leagues, even the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League, there may not be any teams willing to give him such an opportunity. He is still too young and makes people worried." Mauro Tassotti analyzed.
"So," Ancelotti nodded, "I guess he still wants to bet on La Liga and the Champions League. In this battle at the Bernabeu, he will definitely go all out. I conclude that he will be like Houllier and Manchester United."
Like Qini, he wants to eat us in one bite."
After finishing speaking, Ancelotti showed a sly sneer.
After all, you are still young and don’t understand why you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.
"Arrange a training session and focus on practicing the defense of grabbing the second spot. Negredo is worth noting. Raul and Zidane are still very threatening if they grab the second spot." Anche
Lottie warned.
Mauro Tassotti immediately took out his notebook and recorded it.
…………
…………
The Champions League semi-finals are around the corner.
Real Madrid beat Getafe 1-0 and AC Milan beat Inter Milan 1-0. Both games showed that both teams are in pretty good shape and are even more excited about the semi-finals.
expect.
In comparison, AC Milan is the favorite.
So far in the Champions League, Real Madrid and Villarreal can reach the semi-finals, which can be regarded as out-and-out upsets.
Barcelona is the top favorite, followed closely by AC Milan, so the two teams participating in the final, Barcelona and the Rossoneri have the highest odds. Real Madrid and Villarreal are both regarded as stepping stones.
Surprisingly, before the match against AC Milan at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid was surprisingly calm and no news was revealed.
Valdebebas simply conducted closed training, refusing to accept the media and fans, and the Bernabeu did not make any noise, which gave people the impression of a cold treatment.
Could it be that Real Madrid chose to keep a low profile because they were not sure about this semi-final?
The day before the game, the two teams each announced their 18-player roster, and there were no surprises or surprises.
Both sides seem to be very conservative and neither intends to create surprises.
Gao Shen still did not attend the pre-match press conference and asked Maqueda to take his place. The media also made a fuss for a while, but they got used to it.
There is really nothing to say before the game. The real hot spot is after the game. Regardless of winning or losing, the media has something to write about.
Before Ancelotti led the team to Madrid, he made a prediction about the game. He said that AC Milan would escape from the Bernabeu.
"We already know what tactics our opponents will adopt, but we are very confident that our opponents will not succeed."
Ancelotti said that Real Madrid is a great team and deserves respect, but this team is no longer at its peak.
Regarding the Bernabeu battle, Ancelotti said that he would not choose to be conservative, but would actively strive for away goals.
"We all know that in the Champions League knockout rounds, away goals are very important, and we hope to take away goals from the Bernabeu."
Regarding Gao Shen, Ancelotti said that this is the biggest surprise and surprise in European football this season.
"Before this, none of us could believe that a 25-year-old young coach would take charge of Real Madrid, let alone what he has achieved today."
"Frankly speaking, I really like the football philosophy shown by Gao Shen. He is not conservative at all, really, but it is still very rough. He needs more time to slowly polish his team, but what he lacks most now is
It’s just time.”
What Ancelotti meant was that he would definitely win the battle at the Bernabeu!
