There was neither disappointment nor joy on his face.
This made Real Madrid teammates who had been paying attention to him very puzzled.
"How was your conversation with the boss?"
When Ramos came in, Casillas asked immediately.
Other Real Madrid players around them also put down what they were doing and paid attention.
"Nothing much, just a casual chat."
"We talked for nearly an hour and you said it was nothing?" Casillas didn't believe it.
He even wondered if this kid had secretly reached an agreement with the boss and kept it hidden?
"It's really nothing, just talking about my own problems and the team's problems."
Casillas had an expression of "Why do I not believe it so much?", and almost everyone else had the same expression.
To say that Ramos can still have such a pattern and such a height?
"Really, the boss just told me that I need to change my thinking and accept changes. He also talked to me about the changes and trends in European football in the next few years and how our central defenders should actively adapt and change."
After a pause, Ramos clicked his tongue twice, "I think what the boss said makes sense. That pattern is... big!"
Everyone looks at me and I look at you, and everyone thinks that Ramos is taking the wrong medicine?
"Seriously, Sergio, did the boss give you some ecstasy soup?" Pepe asked with a smile.
Ramos clicked his tongue, he was not happy to hear this.
What is ecstasy soup?
Am I the kind of person who gets fooled and drunk so easily?
Do I look like it?
"Really, you guys don't understand the situation at all, and the situation is too small."
"What's the pattern? Tell me." Modric was very interested.
Everyone else nodded and encouraged Ramos, "Talk about it."
Ramos couldn't hide things. When he saw everyone staring at him like this, he felt itchy in his heart. He coughed twice and said, "Then I can just talk about it?"
Everyone understood him and nodded, telling him to hurry up and stop talking nonsense.
"The boss said that he wants to build a team that will be very competitive in European football in the next three or even five years, so he has been adjusting the team's tactics and we must keep up with him.
I can’t keep up with the pace..."
Ramos shrugged helplessly.
Needless to say, those who cannot keep up will have no choice but to be eliminated and sent out of Real Madrid.
"In the next five years? Are we going to compete for the championship?" Xavi Alonso has always been calm, but he is also a little surprised.
People tend to ignore the most surprising number and ignore the previous three years.
"That's what the boss said." Ramos nodded.
There were many smart people present. When they heard this sentence, their first reaction was disbelief.
Nonsense.
It's enough for others to win the Champions League, but you still want to compete for the Champions League in the next five years?
In the world of football, where is the ever-lasting team?
Real Madrid's five consecutive championships were all in the initial stage of the Champions League. In the years after the Champions League was restructured, let alone five consecutive championships and three consecutive championships, it was difficult to even defend the title. Only Manchester City did it.
But this team is built on the basis of huge investment, which is considered a special case.
However, after questioning, many people fell into deep thought.
Manchester City defended the Champions League with the team led by Gao Shen.
More importantly, in the past few years, Gao Shen has won four Champions League championships and has entered the history of the Champions League. He is the head coach with the most championships so far.
If this was said by Gao Shen, then everyone would have to consider it carefully.
Everyone gathered together and analyzed it carefully, and soon discovered the clues.
For example, after Gao Shen coached, why did he vigorously support Real Madrid’s local youth training?
Players like Carvajal, Nacho, Marcos Alonso, Jese, Morata, Vazquez and Isco have all received many playing opportunities in Real Madrid and performed very well.
Among them, Carvajal is already a starting-level player in the first team.
In addition to local youth training, there are also young foreign players such as Courtois, Varane and Casemiro.
Obviously, Gao Shen, on the one hand, reuses the core strength of the first team, but at the same time, he also vigorously supports a group of young players in the team to rise to the top. The purpose is not just for the sake of bench thickness, but for long-term development.
It is conceivable that how old will this group of players supported by Gao Shen be in five years?
Let’s look at Real Madrid’s current main lineup. Five years from now, this lineup will still be able to compete.
From this point of view, Ramos' statement that Gao Shen plans to create a lineup that will be competitive in the Champions League within five years is true.
Everyone in the Real Madrid locker room became more and more excited as they chatted.
They all had to admit that the profound structure indeed stood higher.
For example, he has promoted young players in the team so vigorously, which has never happened in the past few years.
In fact, wasn't the last Real Madrid coach who did this just because he was a master?
Facts have also proved that when Gao Shen coached Real Madrid for the first time, all the players he promoted were eventually kicked out.
Now, will what he said and wanted to do come true again?
…
"Hey, by the way, Sergio, the boss has agreed to your participation in the game against Manchester United?"
Casillas got the crux of the matter.
This is the real purpose of Ramos meeting and talking to Gao Shen.
Everyone also looked over, especially Varane and Pepe.
If Ramos returns to the starting lineup, they will be the two most affected.
Ramos smiled and scratched his head in embarrassment, "The boss flatly refused."
"Why? Aren't you in his five-year plan?" Xabi Alonso asked with a teasing smile.
Ramos glanced at this guy and shook his head, "No move, the boss said it should be punished, and I won't change it!"
Looking at his appearance, everyone could tell that this guy had really hit a wall.
"But it's okay. The boss also said that after the suspension, I still have a chance."
Having said this, Ramos looked at Varane not far away.
"Boy, you have to work hard in these two games. No matter whether it's Barcelona or Manchester United, you can't lose!"
Varane nodded solemnly in agreement.
Pepe on the side laughed loudly, "Don't worry, Sergio, as long as you don't play, we can't lose."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Ramos was depressed.
Are labor and wages so bad?
Isn't it just a red card?
As for being laughed at like this by you?
But after today's conversation, especially the performance in the Camp Nou game, he finally realized that he still had to work harder to keep up with the head coach.
If it continues like in the past, God knows when he will be replaced by Varane.
Florentino, Valdano and Butragueno have all said that in Real Madrid, Gao Shen has the final say in all sporting matters.
Even if Florentino comes forward at that time, he will not be able to save Ramos.
Therefore, the Spanish central defender can only take precautions and seek self-rescue.
…
Entering March, Spain began to warm up for the 26th round of La Liga's Derby of the Century.
Although this is already the fourth Derby of the Century this season, it still attracts the attention of the world.
The current situation in the La Liga standings is very clear. Barcelona and Real Madrid are the two teams with the best chance of winning the championship, and Barcelona currently leads Real Madrid by 4 points.
If Real Madrid still wants to win the championship, they must win against Barcelona at the Bernabeu Stadium and shorten the points gap as soon as possible.
But for Real Madrid, the most painful thing is the schedule.
After playing Barcelona, they will travel north to Manchester, England, to challenge Manchester United away.
There was only two days in between, so there was seriously insufficient time to prepare for the battle.
First the Nou Camp, then the Bernabeu, and then immediately going to Old Trafford. This is the most devilish schedule for Real Madrid, and it is also the most draining.
Gao Shen was originally considering rotation. After the evaluation of Buenaventura and Pintus, he became more determined. Without rotation, Real Madrid would simply not be able to keep up with Barcelona's pace.
It is even possible to lose the battle at Old Trafford after losing the battle at the Bernabeu.
When it comes to the importance of these two games, the one at Old Trafford is definitely more important.
A score of 1-0 at home is simply not enough to guarantee Real Madrid's advancement.
Even if they lose at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid still has a chance to catch up with Barcelona, but if they lose this game at Old Trafford, they will be gone.
After much deliberation, Gao Shen decided to make a drastic rotation.
When the list of eighteen people was announced, the entire public opinion was in an uproar.
Everyone understands Gao Shen's decision. No one can stand playing three games in a short period of time.
Under this situation, Barcelona is recharging its energy and preparing to avenge its disgrace at the Bernabeu Stadium.
According to the Catalan media, this will be a key battle to determine the La Liga championship this season. Barcelona will win the championship in advance at the Bernabeu!
Although they didn't say it directly, the biggest bargaining chip was Real Madrid's poor schedule.
But Madrid also did not mince words, and the public opinion war was fierce.
For example, Marca devoted a long article to introducing the differences between Barcelona before and after Guardiola left the team.
Including unclear discipline, insufficient preparation for the game, lack of authority of the head coach, lack of leaders in the team, insufficient rotation, etc.
All of this points the finger at Barcelona.
Marca believes that so far this season, Barcelona has lost miserably to Real Madrid in three derbies of the century. This is by no means an accident, and they will lose the fourth one.
"Even if Real Madrid plays with a heavily rotated lineup against Barcelona at the Bernabeu, they can still win."
Barcelona head coach Jordi Luela said at the pre-match press conference that this game is crucial.
"I don't know what kind of Real Madrid we will face. It depends on how their head coach arranges the team, but no matter who they send, it will not be easy for us to win."
Lula said, "First of all, this game is related to a very important three points, which belongs to the league; secondly, a victory against Real Madrid will help us restore our self-esteem and morale."
So far this season, Barcelona has lost three consecutive games to Real Madrid, which has made Barcelona players a little less confident.
Especially in the Champions League, the away game was tied with AC Milan, which further caused doubts among Barcelona players.
Could it be said that Barcelona's ball control tactics are really out of date?
Compared to Barcelona, Gao Shen's press conference at the Bernabeu was very simple.
