One Hundred and Fourteen I Am Not One: Zeroism!
On the evening of April 30th, El Salda Stadium.
Real Madrid challenge Osasuna away.
Having just beaten Milan at the San Siro Stadium, Real Madrid was physically and mentally exhausted, while Osasuna was sitting at home and had ample time for a week to recharge their batteries and wait for work.
Gao Shen had to rotate in this game, coupled with Ramos' red card suspension, it had a huge impact on Real Madrid.
Goalkeeper Iker Casillas, the defense is Raul Bravo, Herguera, Javi Garcia and Arbeloa, the midfielder is Gravesen and Pablo Garcia, the frontcourt It is Robinho, Baptista and Cicinho, and the lone striker is Ronaldo.
In the frontcourt of Real Madrid's lineup, Gao Shen formed an attacking lineup of four Brazilian players for the first time, especially letting Cicinho play the right winger, which was the first time ever.
One of the important reasons for this arrangement is that Real Madrid's defense is somewhat empty.
This is the first time that Xavi Garcia has started on behalf of Real Madrid, and he has also served as a vital central defender for the team, facing a famous player like Milosevic.
Gao Shen was very entangled before the game. He tried to pair Woodgate and Elguera. Woodgate himself felt that he could be qualified for a double match a week, but in this way, it would be very troublesome to play Racing Santander three days later.
Xavi Garcia performed well in training. He is tall and strong, and his defensive ability is also good. In addition, Real Madrid's current defense has become a system.
As long as they get through the Osasuna battle, Racing Santander will have a combination of Woodgate and Ramos in the middle of the week, and the defense doesn't need to worry too much.
In the end, Gao Shen decided to take a risk.
But just in case, he arranged for Pablo Garcia, who is familiar with Osasuna, to partner with Gravesen in front, and use this pair of macho combinations to protect the defense, plus a Baptista, who is on the right. Cicinho, who is both offensive and defensive, is already a configuration to strengthen defense.
As for Robinho and Ronaldo, they are the two knives used by Gao Shen to attack.
...
After the game started, Baptista blew the horn with a long shot.
After Ronaldo broke through the right rib of the penalty area and passed the defender, his shot was saved by goalkeeper Ricardo.
Then Robinho dribbled the ball from the left and made a pass back. Baptista took a long shot from the front of the penalty area.
But still failed to break through.
The first eight minutes belonged to Real Madrid, then entered the rhythm of Osasuna.
The home team also tried to break through Real Madrid's goal, but the 442 formation prevented them from gaining an advantage in the midfield, and they were forced to use long passes and crosses from the side as their main means.
This is also expected.
Raul Bravo and Arbeloa are actively blocking on the wing, Elguera, Xavi Garcia, Pablo Garcia and other players are actively controlling the center, coupled with Gravesen and active return defense Baptista, Real Madrid's control of the high ball in the middle is still in place, and Osasuna was not given a chance.
The most threatening thing was that in the 28th minute, Osasuna striker Webb tried to stop the ball in the chest in the penalty area, and took off at the same time as Arbeloa who was pointing behind. He grabbed the point, but fell in the penalty area and fell I can't afford it.
Osasuna's players rushed and shoved Arbeloa, thinking it was a nasty foul.
Before the game, Gao Shen warned his players that at Osasuna's home court, the referee's law enforcement has always been biased towards the home court, because the fans here are really brutal.
Therefore, when Arbeloa faced the opponent's push and push, he did not resist, but directly "fell to the ground".
I have to say that this guy still has the potential to be a movie star, but unfortunately he is not produced by La Masia Film and Television Base.
The referee also knew what was going on, so neither side gave a penalty, but each gave a warning, and the game continued.
But the smell of gunpowder in the game is obviously getting stronger and stronger.
In the first 30 minutes, both sides had seven shots, but none of them were on target.
But in the 31st minute, in an attack from Real Madrid, Robinho got the ball from the left, cycled continuously, threw off the defender and cut inside, and passed the ball to Ronaldo who retreated to respond.
The Brazilian alien turned his back to the attacking direction, retreated to get the ball, and split the ball in time.
I saw Baptista quickly plugged in, stopped, rushed into the top of the arc of the penalty area, and shot directly without waiting for the defensive player to approach.
This is already the Brazilian Beast's third shot from the front of the penalty area.
The previous two times, he missed the goal, but this time, he slammed the ball directly into the bottom of the Osasuna goal net.
One to zero!
"yeah!!!!"
Gao Shen couldn't hold back on the sidelines and jumped up excitedly.
The entire stadium was booed, and Real Madrid's players rushed out of the stadium to celebrate.
Especially Ronaldo and several other Brazilian players danced samba on the sidelines to celebrate their goals.
"Good job!" Gao Shen clapped vigorously and shouted loudly.
Baptista's back-up has always been his biggest threat. The reason why Real Madrid spent a lot of money to introduce him from Seville is because of his ability.
But it is a pity that Real Madrid has never made good use of him before.
After the celebration, Gao Shen loudly reminded the players on the sidelines.
"Be careful, cheer up!"
"You can do it, come on!!!"
The scene of Gao Shen cheering for the players on the sidelines was also captured by the La Liga live broadcast.
"Real Madrid's formation tonight is still somewhat conservative, but it is actually understandable."
"With Real Madrid's current age, lineup, state, and the schedule they have to deal with, it is absolutely difficult for them to play a satisfactory game in every game."
"Gao Shen also looked very nervous and passionate tonight."
"He is under a lot of pressure now, because just yesterday, Barcelona defeated Cadiz 1-0 at home, which made him have to win Osasuna tonight."
"Consecutive away games with such difficult opponents, Ramos' red card suspension, Zidane and others need to rotate again, which makes Gao Shen really stretched."
When the live broadcast was aimed at Gao Shen, he saw a plastic bottle suddenly dropped from the stands, flew directly over Gao Shen's head, and landed in the stadium.
"The fans of Osasuna were very dissatisfied. They threw debris from the stands. This bottle of drink almost hit Gao Shen."
"Although it was broadcast live on TV, we could still hear the sound of the scene. The Osasuna fans were cursing the head coach of Real Madrid. They were obviously dissatisfied with the conceded goal just now. They thought that Gao Shen's move to encourage the players was a provocation to them. .”
Gao Shen complained to the fourth official on the sidelines, but the other party had no choice but to suggest that Gao Shen had better go back to the visiting team's coach bench, where there is a ceiling, at least there is no need to worry about being hit by debris.
"But Gao Shen is still standing on the sidelines. He wants to use this behavior to tell his players that he is fighting side by side with them!"
...
The first half ended with Real Madrid leading by one goal.
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Osasuna launched a wave of fierce attacks, trying to kill Real Madrid in one go.
Before, they beat Valencia like that.
In the second half, he scored two goals in a row at the beginning of the second half, which stunned the Bat Corps.
But Real Madrid is not Valencia, Gao Shen has made sufficient plans before the game, and the locker room just now has been exhorted.
Although the team was forced into danger, the existence of Casillas and the defensive system that the team has worked hard to build in the past period of time have all played an effect at this time.
Players make mistakes but don't concede the ball.
As Osasuna's attack was frustrated and receded, Gao Shen also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Sixty-five minutes into the game, Gao Shen took the lead in making a substitution, replacing Ronaldo with Soldado.
The Brazilian alien contributed an assist, and he also ran very actively in the frontcourt, consuming a lot of energy.
Osasuna also quickly made substitutions, replacing Clavero with attacking player Moja, and at the same time replacing Franio with central defender Munoz, adopting a three-back style of play.
This is a very aggressive offensive adjustment, and Aguirre clearly wants to fight Real Madrid to the end.
Gao Shen also quickly made adjustments, replacing Robinho with Juan Mata as a left winger.
This is not the first time Juan Mata has played, he has come off the bench before, but it was either some rubbish time or a performance that did not shine.
But this time, the 18-year-old Real Madrid player finally had a chance to play.
In the 79th minute, after Pablo Garcia succeeded in stealing the ball, it was handed over to Gravesen and he quickly launched a counterattack.
The Danish midfielder gave the ball to Juan Mata who retreated from the left. After the Spanish winger got the ball, he quickly started, followed by two defensive players from Osasuna.
Mata decisively knocked the ball across to Baptista and signaled him to pass it back.
The Brazilian midfielder understood and knocked the ball back to the left side of the penalty area.
Mata quickly broke into the left side of the penalty area, grabbed the ball before the center back Cuellar, and stabbed the ball to the bottom line. After avoiding Cuellar, when he chased near the bottom line, he rubbed his left foot when he had lost his angle. The ball is passed.
Right in front of the goal, Soldado has been lying in ambush waiting for an opportunity. As soon as he saw Mata rubbing the ball and making a pass, he immediately followed up and hit the goal with a header from close range, scoring the ball into Osa who was close at hand. Suna's goal.
The referee's whistle sounded again.
Not only the Real Madrid players on the field were shouting crazily, but even Gao Shen on the sidelines was stunned for a moment, and then burst into cheers, and the whole person was a little overjoyed.
He really did not expect that Mata would be able to seize such a counterattack opportunity.
It deserves it too!
Who made Aguirre take the risk of using a three-back?
"Wow! Well done!" Gao Shen roared vigorously.
The boos in the stadium grew louder.
But everyone knows that Osasuna can't stop Real Madrid tonight.
More importantly, in addition to the three Brazilian players, there were two youth players, Juan Mata and Soldado, who helped Real Madrid beat Osasuna.
At the critical moment, Real Madrid's background still played a role.
Two to zero!
Gao Shen laughed out loud, thinking: Now, no one will call me one-to-zero, right?
