One Hundred and Sixteenth, No One Can Stop Us!
On the evening of May 3rd, the Sardines Stadium.
In the thirty-sixth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Racing Santander away.
Gao Shen always stood in front of the coach of the visiting team, enduring the tsunami of shouts from the fans of the home team in the stadium stands.
The sound waves made by more than 20,000 people are still very shocking.
But this is far less than on the court. Real Madrid's offensive storm from the very beginning is more attractive.
Gao Shen still used the 423 formation that Real Madrid is most familiar with, but the difference is that the starting lineup has been adjusted.
The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defense is Felipe, Woodgate, Ramos and Cicinho, the double midfielder is the macho combination of Pablo Garcia and Baptista, and the front is Robbie Neo, Guti and Beckham, the lone striker is Negredo.
Zidane, Raul and Ronaldo were put on the bench again by Gao Shen, and they were not even included in the squad.
This is mainly because Buenaventura has to prepare for the Champions League final and must adjust the physical fitness and state of each player.
...
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid took the initiative to attack, pressing and oppressing with a high position, mainly anti-customers, and suppressed Racing Santander.
But it was Brazilian midfielder Felipe Melo who scored the first shot of the game for Racing Santander.
Gao Shen has an impression of this player, with good strength and both offensive and defensive skills, but his long-range shots failed to threaten Real Madrid's goal.
After that, Pablo Garcia fought back, and also shot a long shot from the outside of the penalty area.
Both Guti and Robinho kicked one after another, but both failed to score.
As the game progressed, Real Madrid's advantage on the court became more and more obvious, the ball possession rate continued to rise, opportunities were created frequently, and the goal was getting closer and closer.
In the 26th minute, Robinho dribbled the ball from the left and forced a breakthrough, creating a foul, winning a free kick for Real Madrid on the left side of the front court. Beckham took the penalty and accurately sent it into the penalty area.
In the last round of red card suspension, Ramos, carrying a heavy burden, leaped high and opened the scoring for Real Madrid, 1-0!
Just six minutes later, Beckham made another quick kick-off pass from the right. After Negredo shook off the defender, he hit the goal with a header and made another victory for Real Madrid, 2-0!
After scoring two goals in a row, Real Madrid played more relaxed, and Racing Santander did not dare to rush to attack again.
The first half ended with 2-0 and Real Madrid's lead.
What really excited Gao Shen was the competition process.
Real Madrid's pass success rate has reached 87%, the highest since he took over, and the ball possession rate has also reached an astonishing 72%. The team created 11 shots in the first half. Scored two goals.
Perhaps simply looking at the data is a bit vague, but what is reflected behind the data is that the understanding of the advanced tactical system by Real Madrid players is obviously more thorough, and the execution is more in place.
These are two completely different situations from when he first took over the team.
From this point, it can also be seen how difficult it is to train and run a team.
It has been more than two months since Gao Shen coached Real Madrid. Only then did he barely let the players get familiar with and adapt, and he still experienced so many tough battles.
...
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Real Madrid continued to maintain the pressure on Racing Santander.
In the 60th minute, Felipe quickly inserted from the left, broke into the left rib of the penalty area, kicked the goal and was saved by the goalkeeper, Negredo followed up and grabbed the ball, turned around to protect the ball, and passed back to the goal Near the point of the ball, Guti quickly followed up and shot an empty goal.
Three to zero!
Leading by three goals, Real Madrid basically secured the victory.
Gao Shen quickly made adjustments.
Juan Mata came off the bench again, replacing Guti as the team's attacking midfielder.
And no one thought that after this substitution, Mata once again showed an amazing performance.
He pulled straight to the left, cooperated with Felipe and Robinho, passed the ball after a forced breakthrough on the left,
Robinho ran to the left side of the front of the penalty area, and after receiving a cross from Mata, he volleyed and pierced Racing Santander's goal again.
Four to zero!
Gao Shen didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise, so he laughed out loud with joy.
He originally played with a semi-main lineup, thinking about training young players when he was sure of winning, but he didn't expect such a surprise.
He soon made a second substitution, replacing Negredo with teenager Daniel Parejo.
After the substitution, Robinho served as a striker, Juan Mata played on the left, and Parejo served as a midfielder in the middle.
Then, Gao Shen replaced Beckham with Callejon.
After several adjustments, Real Madrid's frontcourt is dominated by young players.
Maybe it's the young players eager to show themselves, or Racing Santander's morale has plummeted after conceding four goals in a row. It's more likely that the Real Madrid players are more relaxed. Anyway, on the court, Real Madrid is still holding down Racing Santander. , constantly creating opportunities and playing a very exciting offensive storm.
It can be seen that these players are very hardworking and hardworking. After losing the ball, they counterattacked immediately, and after getting the ball, they all rushed forward with one brain, appearing very energetic.
More importantly, they are all superior in strength.
Even Parejo, who played for the first time, once got rid of the ball in the middle, passed two opponents in a row, and sent a wonderful pass to Mata on the left side, but it was a pity that Mata failed to score.
Gao Shen was overjoyed to watch from the sidelines.
He really didn't expect that this group of young teenagers would bring him such a surprise.
But on second thought, it's actually not surprising.
Although they are young, each of these players will be famous players in Europe in the future, or even the core of a strong team. All of them are superior in strength. Once they are given a chance, they will immediately shine.
In deep memory, this group of young players has not emerged so early, but now, everything has been changed by him.
This is something to be proud of.
Because, everyone will remember that when Gao Shen coached Real Madrid, he discovered this group of players and gave them a chance to make their mark.
Gao Shen was even thinking, if this goes on like this, when it comes to finding young players in the future, I am afraid that Wenger will have nothing to do with it.
…………
…………
Real Madrid finally beat Racing Santander 4-0 at the Sardine Stadium.
This is the most hearty victory that Gao Shen has achieved since coaching Real Madrid.
The ball possession rate reached 73%, and he took 23 kicks and scored 4 goals.
Regardless of the game process or the final result, it was the most satisfying battle since Gao Shen coached. Leaving aside the strength of the opponent, it was even more exciting than the match against AC Milan.
At the press conference after the game, Gao Shen once again challenged Barcelona.
In this round, Real Madrid will play first, and Barcelona will be one day later.
Gao Shen said at the post-match press conference that Real Madrid has proved their determination and fighting spirit to everyone through a wonderful offensive football. He firmly believes that Real Madrid players will win the remaining two rounds.
"In the last round, Barcelona played one day earlier than us. This round is one day later than us. They have more time to prepare, but I still have to remind our opponents that Celta Vigo is not easy to play at all."
...
I don't know if the profound psychological warfare played a role, or if there was a problem with Barcelona itself. In the away game against Celta Vigo, Rijkaard's team failed to score for a long time.
Regardless of the overall strength or the scene, Barcelona has the advantage, but they just failed to break through Celta Vigo's goal.
Even Ronaldinho, who was chased and intercepted by Celta Vigo in this game, failed to perform.
Until the 75th minute, Eto'o took the ball in the frontcourt and sent a wonderful pass. Iniesta, who ran out of space, volleyed with his left foot in an unguarded area and hit the inside of the left column. , rebounded into Celta Vigo's goal.
One to zero!
Subsequently, Rijkaard immediately replaced Ronaldinho with Edmilson, and then replaced Van Bommel with Xavi.
Barcelona finally relied on Iniesta's goal to beat Celta Vigo 1-0 away.
...
The process of the game was not dangerous, but Barcelona's 1-0 was somewhat overshadowed by Real Madrid's 4-0 victory. What is more gratifying is that Harvey came off the bench again.
He came off the bench for two consecutive games, and his playing time was expanded from the previous ten minutes to half an hour. This is obviously preparing for the upcoming Champions League final.
More importantly, defenders such as Marcos and Edmilson have already returned one after another. Today's Barcelona is strong and strong, only one Messi is missing.
[To be honest, I have been using Mimi to read and update books recently, switch sources, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple are fine. 】
In the post-match press conference, Rijkaard congratulated Real Madrid on their big victory, but also believed that Barcelona could have created a big victory.
"But our opponents showed more tenacity."
For Harvey, Rijkaard expressed satisfaction, whether it is the performance after the comeback or the recovery situation.
"He is a very promising player. I believe he will bring great help to the team. His timely comeback will be the biggest boost to us."
Another seriously injured Messi has also started training with the team. According to sources, Messi is likely to return before the Champions League final. In this regard, Rijkaard said that he has not yet received a report from the team doctor.
"I still have no way to give an accurate statement, but whether it is me, the players of the whole team, or even all Barcelona fans, they are all looking forward to Leo's comeback. He will make our frontcourt better. Aggressive."
As for whether he can make it to the Champions League final, Rijkaard also sold a pass.
"I can't tell, it depends on Messi's recovery."
But Rijkaard also said that if Messi can catch up with the Champions League final, it will be another big boost to Barcelona.
The previous continuous loss of points was because the team had too many injuries and the schedule was too difficult.
Now, Real Madrid's schedule is more bitter, and Barcelona's wounded are coming back one after another, which makes Rijkaard full of confidence.
"We will not lose, whether it is La Liga or the Champions League, we will not give our opponents any chance!"
"This season, we want to win the double crown, and no one can stop us!"
