1012 I Cultivate Talent at Real Madrid
On the evening of March 10th, Balledos Stadium.
In the 27th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Celta Vigo away.
Gao Shen once again carried out a substantial rotation of the game's starting lineup, especially for the starters who participated in the Old Trafford battle.
Morata finally appeared in the left wing position of his idol Ronaldo, the center is Higuain, and the right wing is the teenager Jesse.
This is also another set of frontcourt tridents that Gao Shen ranked.
After the opening, Real Madrid played very aggressively, but Vigo Celta's offside tactics were very successful.
In the previous 20 minutes, Real Madrid fell into the offside trap as many as 8 times.
Until the 24th minute, Kaka sent a direct pass. Higuain succeeded in countering offside.
One to zero!
After taking the lead, Real Madrid continued to attack Celta Vigo steadily.
In the 39th minute, it was Kaka again. On the left side of the front of the penalty area, after receiving a return pass from Higuain, he skillfully dribbled the ball with his right foot. After avoiding the defender, he sent a diagonal pass and gave the ball to the goal On the right side of the restricted area.
Jesse jumped in quickly, facing Kaka's oblique pass and volleyed directly with his right foot without any defense.
The football flew past goalkeeper Barras and went straight into the goal.
Two to zero!
At the end of the first half, Real Madrid once again launched a wave of offensives, posing threats twice, but failed to score.
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, the game was still going on in an orderly manner.
In the 55th minute, Gao Shen made the first substitution of the game.
Marcelo, who was sidelined for four months with an injury, returned to action in place of Marcos Alonso.
This is the first time the Brazilian left back has played since October last year.
But unlike other players who have been absent from long-term injuries, Marcelo has been training with the team for a period of time before his comeback, and his body has also undergone special training from Buenaventura and Pintus.
After playing, the Brazilian left back was very active.
Only four minutes later, in an attack in the frontcourt, he inserted a pass from Kaka and passed it to Higuain at the top of the arc in the penalty area on the left rib. The latter volleyed without stopping the ball. Pad the ball to the left side of the penalty area behind the defense line.
Morata stepped in and shot directly, breaking through Celta Vigo's goal.
Three to zero!
But soon, Real Madrid's offensive made a comeback again.
Still on the left side of Real Madrid, Marcelo and Morata formed a beautiful two-to-one cooperation on the wing. The Brazilian left back made a pass from the bottom, and Higuain followed up with a header from the center.
Four to zero!
Scored twice!
In the 71st minute, Real Madrid first launched an offensive from the right and then turned back to the left.
Marcelo moved forward, almost as a winger, but passed back to Kaka, who was on the ball, and then passed to Verratti.
After transferring the ball, Kaka quickly moved forward, and Verratti sent a kick pass knowingly.
Kaka rushed into the penalty area, stopped the ball with his chest sideways, and volleyed directly without waiting for the ball to land.
Five to zero!
Kaka excitedly turned and rushed out of the court.
Two passes and one shot!
The Brazilian showed a very good competitive state.
In the 85th minute, Real Madrid intercepted the ball in the midfield and quickly played a counterattack.
After Morata received the ball from Kaka on the left side, he broke into the bottom line along the penalty area line, crossed to the back point, and Jesse stepped in to score calmly.
Six to zero!
Even, in stoppage time of the game, Real Madrid can get another chance.
Morata scored the ball to the left rib, Jesse drove straight in with the ball, reached the left rib to form a single shot, under the interference of the defensive player, he calmly pushed and succeeded, and staged a hat-trick.
Seven to zero!
Jesse, who performed a hat-trick, excitedly rushed out of the field and ran all the way to the sidelines to celebrate his first La Liga hat-trick in his career with Gao Shen and Zidane.
Gao Shen, Zidane, Hierro, Carlo and others, as well as the Real Madrid players running behind, all congratulated Jesse.
Tonight, Celta Vigo's defense is really problematic.
The consecutive offside traps in the first 20 minutes gave them a taste of the sweetness, and they have been trying to create offsides.
But they did not expect that Real Madrid quickly adjusted and began to turn offside.
Vigo Celta did not adjust in time, resulting in being hit behind by Real Madrid again and again, almost one by one.
This is the risk of creating an offside.
Once it fails, it is single-handedly.
And Jesse, the performance of this young player is really good, he staged a hat-trick, which is remarkable.
But what makes Gao Shen more satisfied is Morata.
Whether he played on the left or Higuain played in the middle after he left the field, he has shown a very good performance.
After this season of training, the group of young Real Madrid players have all performed at a very good level and made considerable progress.
...
Real Madrid ended up beating Celta Vigo 7-0 away.
After the game, whether it was Jesse who scored a hat-trick, Higuain who scored twice, or Morata and Kaka who performed well, they all received rave reviews.
Quoting the comment with the most likes in Gao Shen’s Twitter comment section: “For the first time in Real Madrid, I experienced the sense of accomplishment of FM football managers training talented calf!”
At the post-match press conference, Gao Shen praised the outstanding performance of several players by name, and believed that Real Madrid now has the thickness and ability of the bench for two-line combat.
"Facts have proved that the young players in our team have been able to play their own roles, and I have full confidence in them."
Gao Shen revealed that Real Madrid will further optimize the team's rotation mechanism in the future.
"Yes, we are one point behind Barcelona in the league, but I don't think it's that big of a gap."
Gao Shen said that he believes that Barcelona will make mistakes.
However, it is revealed that two very important Barcelona fighters against cancer will return to Camp Nou in the near future.
One is the French left back Abidal.
Back then, Abidal returned to the game two months after liver surgery and won a lot of applause, but then his liver disease relapsed, and it was once rumored that he would retire. Fortunately, he was able to undergo a liver transplant and has been recovering.
The other is Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova.
In December last year, Vilanova underwent a second parotid gland tumor resection operation. After 13 days, he quickly returned to the coaching position, but it didn't take long for him to relapse and went to New York, USA for treatment.
I recently got news that Vilanova has successfully controlled his illness and will return to Barcelona in the near future.
The return of these two people is an extremely important spiritual encouragement for Barcelona.
Although he is the head coach of Real Madrid, Gao Shen said in an interview with the Catalan media at the press conference that he was happy with the return of the two heroes and congratulated them.
"They've all put in a lot of hard work and they're all men of great willpower that deserve all of our admiration."
"I am very happy to hear that they are coming back and sincerely hope to see them return to the game, they are well-deserved heroes!"
As for the possibility that the return of the two will encourage Barcelona, which is not good for Real Madrid, Gao said with a deep smile, "If they can bring Barcelona a championship after their return, I and everyone at Real Madrid will sincerely congratulate them."
Gao Shen said that in the face of life, football should make concessions.
The in-depth interview was unanimously affirmed by everyone including Real Madrid, the Catalan media and fans.
In professional football, victory is important, but life is more precious.
...
After playing Celta Vigo, Real Madrid got a very rare one-week break.
In the past more than a month, Real Madrid has played two games almost every week, and the pressure is extremely high.
This time, Gao Shen directly waved his hand and gave everyone a two-day holiday, so that all the hard-working Real Madrid can take time to relax and spend time with their families.
In the middle of the week, the remaining four games of the knockout round of the Champions League round of 16 were all over.
The top eight are freshly baked.
At noon on March 15, UEFA held a draw for the quarterfinals at its headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
The draw was presided over by Secretary-General Infantino and Director of the Competition Department Marchetti. The ambassador of Wembley Stadium, where the final was hosted, and former Real Madrid star McManaman were guests.
The result of the draw was that Real Madrid won the Serie A leader, the quasi-champion Juventus.
For the Bianconeri, the feeling of Gao Shen is not particularly good.
The overall strength of Serie A is not strong, even weaker than Real Madrid, but the Bianconeri's tactical style poses a great threat to Real Madrid.
Juventus is very good at defensive counterattacks. There are passers like Pirlo in the back line, and counterattack players like Vucinic, Matri and Quagliarella in front, which makes Juventus in the defensive counterattack. Very threatening.
And everyone knows that Real Madrid is best at the high defensive line. Once Juventus has a chance to counterattack, the consequences will be disastrous. The most typical is the tactic used by Italy against Spain in the 2012 European Cup.
At that time, it can be said that Pirlo's role was brought into full play.
Obviously, the current Juventus is not easy to mess with.
Another thing is that Real Madrid's schedule is played first at the Bernabéu.
This schedule is actually not very good, because once Juventus scores an away goal, Real Madrid will be very passive in Turin.
I thought so in my heart, but Gao Shen would not say so.
In an interview with the media, Gao Shen first praised Juventus.
"Juventus is the best team in Italy at the moment. It is very strong defensively and has many excellent players offensively. It is a very difficult opponent."
But Gao Shen quickly changed the subject, "Real Madrid has never been afraid of challenges. I don't even care whether it is home or away. For us, there is not much difference."
Gao Shen once again reminded everyone that his performance against Juventus during his coaching period at Naples was quite outstanding.
"At least, I can guarantee that when the result of the lottery comes out, our opponents will have more headaches than us!"
The high self-confidence also infected Real Madrid.
Especially after defeating Manchester United to advance, the confidence of Real Madrid players has improved significantly.
In an interview with the media, Real Madrid players expressed further confidence when they learned that Juventus was drawn.
Captain Casillas said that the team's current state and morale are at a very good stage.
"All of us believe that the team will be able to achieve success this season and win the heavyweight championship!"
