Sixty-Five Biggest Variable

Gao Shen is really ready to be scolded, and even condemned by the whole of Spain.

From the moment he decided to defend the zero-nil away game, he was ready.

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't wait for the crusade he "expected".

In other words, the media and fans' crusade against him is far less than he expected.

A 0-0 draw with Juventus in the away game, everyone who is familiar with and understands football knows what a difficult score this is, but for Real Madrid fans and the Spanish media, they cannot accept the deep conservatism.

This was the case with the previous 1-0, but now, they have adopted a polarized attitude towards Real Madrid's 0-0 away game.

For example, in Aspen, headed by editor-in-chief Alfredo's column, he gave a very high evaluation of Gao Shen and Real Madrid's performance in Turin, thinking that Real Madrid can retreat in the away game during this devil's schedule. It's already quite an achievement.

"Since Gao Shen coached Real Madrid, we have seen a lot of things from this atypical Real Madrid, such as cohesion, such as unity, such as bloody fighting to the last moment."

Alfredo is obviously also afraid that Gao Shen will be criticized overwhelmingly, so he defends Gao Shen in the column, thinking that Gao Shen is not conservative. For example, he showed amazing courage, courage and determination in the start of Highbury Stadium .

"Without his persistence, it would be very difficult for Real Madrid to score the first goal at Highbury, and there would be no subsequent miracle reversal."

Alfredo said that as a Real Madrid fan for decades, he is very aware of the current team's problems, aging, unbalanced lineup structure, and the team's shortcomings are very obvious, whether it is in the Champions League or in the strong dialogue , are very disadvantaged.

Facing a strong team like Juventus away, how can Real Madrid play?

Even, Alfredo believes that with the current situation of Real Madrid, facing Capello's Juventus, even if it is replaced by any other famous coach in the world, it is estimated that it will be difficult to do better than Gao Shen.

The words of the editor-in-chief of Aspen newspaper can be said to be highly respected to Gao Shen, and even directly compared him with the world's famous coaches.

But also in Aspen, there was another report that questioned Gao Shen and his Real Madrid.

Skeptics believe that Real Madrid's advantage lies in technology and ball control, but Gao Shen did not show enough courage to face Juventus directly, which led to Real Madrid being restrained on the scene and forced to fight Juventus hand-to-hand.

"Facts have proved that Real Madrid is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of physical confrontation and competition for high balls. Ramos and Woodgate are like children in front of Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic. block."

When the body is at a disadvantage and the overall tactics are not as good as their opponents, Real Madrid should give full play to the advantages of the Spanish team, using their own skilled skills and passing and possession advantages to pull and consume Juventus instead of passive defense.

"Obviously, from the very beginning, he didn't want to win in Turin, he just wanted to keep a zero-to-zero game."

Skeptics believe that it can be seen from the game that Juventus also has its own problems, and Real Madrid is not without opportunities.

If Real Madrid can show more courage to attack in the game, at least one away goal can be scored, which will be a huge advantage.

Skeptics said that the conservative high-spiritedness made Real Madrid very petty, without the grace and luxury of the past, and also lost the most charming offensive storm, and even completely lost creativity, making everyone feel strange.

The Spanish gold medal host De La Morena has a relatively neutral attitude in his program.

On the one hand, he agrees with the skeptics that Gao Shen never thought about winning away games from the very beginning, so his starting point was conservative, which made Real Madrid very embarrassed in Turin.

Even completely lost their own advantages.

But on the other hand, he also understands and approves of advanced practices.

"Many skeptics only tap the keyboard and write. They always feel that players should have unlimited physical fitness on the court, but they never pay attention to it. In fact, players are not superhuman."

De La Morena popularized science in the program, physical fitness is the basis of football games, without physical fitness, everything is interviewed.

But physical fitness is not a battery. It doesn’t mean that the player stops when it is exhausted. Before this, the player can continue to play a role, but the player will follow the physical energy consumption. After reaching a certain threshold, the technical action will be out of shape. It is easy to make mistakes.

Facing a team like Juventus, both technique and ball control require a lot of running, which requires physical support.

"Gao Shen must have made a comprehensive assessment of the team's physical fitness. He scored three points against Deportivo last week. This time in Turin, he must have thought about scoring away goals, but he must have assessed the benefits. and risk."

De la Morena believes that with Real Madrid's current lineup, physical fitness and state, it is too difficult and risky to break through Juventus' goal in Turin without being scored by the Bianconeri.

"Many people think that it's all a draw, so why not strive for a one-to-one match?"

"But the real situation is likely to be that Real Madrid is distracted on offense and no longer focused on defense. The final result may be one to two, or even zero to two. This will be quite difficult for the second round. "

"Everyone knows that as long as you give Capello a goal advantage, it is as difficult as ever to recover from him."

However, De La Morena also concluded that since the first round was 0-0, Gao Shen would definitely consider scoring in that round.

The hidden danger is that in the middle of the two rounds, Real Madrid will play another national derby.

"This is Real Madrid's devil's schedule!"

…………

…………

Returning to Madrid from Turin overnight, and returning home after the dissolution, Gao Shen fell asleep with his head covered, entered the tactical library, and reviewed the gains and losses of the game.

This is actually a very good habit.

Whether it's studying or working, now that I'm the head coach, it's really beneficial to review the game every day.

It's also a way of self-improvement.

The next morning, when Gao Shen went out to buy breakfast, he bought some newspapers by the way.

He was really surprised by the reaction of the media and fans.

At least, the newspapers did not have all the bombardment and accusations. The media such as Aspen, Marca and Pais not only supported and recognized the profound remarks, but also accused and questioned him.

This made Gao Shen quite comfortable.

At least, there is no more criticism and accusation like before.

However, he had a vague feeling that this had something to do with Barcelona's performance.

In the away game against Benfica in the Portuguese Super League, Barcelona also failed to score, and finally shook hands with Benfica 0-0.

Good guy, Real Madrid is facing Juventus. Barcelona is known as the strongest team in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Facing the weakest Benfica, the score is zero to zero.

Then tell me, can you only scold Real Madrid and not Barcelona?

Even the thick-skinned uncrowned king probably wouldn't be able to do such a thing, right?

Gao Shen doesn't care about whether Barcelona can advance, because in his opinion, there is no suspense for Barcelona's advancement. He only cares about Rijkaard's ability to stay in this game?

It’s just that I didn’t do enough homework before the time travel, unlike those guys who were ready to be the hero of the time travel text, they even remembered the game clearly. Now Gao Shen doesn’t understand at all, did Rijkaard stay put? ?

Barcelona also has a problem now, that is, injuries.

Both Messi and Harvey were absent for a long time, two central defenders Edmilson and Marcos were injured and absent, Puyol was also absent due to injury, leading to the game against Benfica, Rijkaard even arranged Van Bommel as a central defender.

There was news before that Puyol could catch up with the game against Benfica, but he didn't even make the squad. Did Rijkaard deliberately keep him in La Liga?

After all, the Champions League is two rounds, and it is not difficult for Barcelona to return to Camp Nou and kill Benfica.

...

Gao Shen analyzed the newspaper while reading it, and swallowed his breakfast by the way.

Just as I finished packing and was about to go to work, my phone rang.

Carlo had called him to congratulate him on a good result in Turin last night.

"I read the newspaper in the morning, and more and more people recognize you more." Carlo said lightly.

Gao Shen was listening on the phone, and tasted a little strange smell. I am afraid that Carlo's mood at this time is far less calm than his tone. After all, the more everyone agrees with Gao Shen, the lower the evaluation of Carlo's predecessor will be. .

With the same lineup, the environment faced by Gao Shen is even worse than that of Carlo, but he insisted on leading the team to achieve such results, but what about Carlo?

Gao Shen didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he immediately changed the topic and threw his own question away.

"It's possible." Carlo agrees with Gao Shen's judgment, "Barcelona likes to control the ball and attack from a high position. The back line has a lot of gaps. Puyol's existence is the biggest supplement to the back line. Rijkaard may let him concentrate. Get ready for the Clasico."

Since the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona was played at the same time, Carlo did not watch the match between Barcelona and Benfica, so he said that the specific situation should be known only after watching the video of the game.

"I'll watch the video first, come to my house for dinner tonight, and we'll have a good chat." Carlo laughed.

He is currently unemployed at home and has a lot of time.

There is a free staff officer, of course Gao Shen will not refuse, and then he talked about Zidane and Beckham going to his room before the game.

"What are you going to do with Ronaldo and the Brazilian players?" Carlo asked with concern.

This should be regarded as the biggest variable in the Real Madrid locker room now.

If it is handled well, Real Madrid's strength can reach another level, but if it is not handled well, it will be really dangerous.

The World Cup is only once every four years, how many four years can a player's career last?

If Gao Shen's attitude continues to be tough, there is no guarantee that the Brazilian gang will not directly overturn the table. At that time, the team will still be able to concentrate on preparing for the game?

Gao Shen also knew this clearly, so he was also having a headache because of it.

There is a saying that is true: War is the continuation of politics.

If you put this sentence on football, it is: the game is just a presentation of the result.

So there is another saying on the football field: the moment a player walks into the field, the outcome is already decided.

"Let me think about it again. Let's meet first and listen to what he has to say."
