Sixty-Seven Ronaldo's Other Side

In fact, Gao Shen is a Ronaldo fan, and he is a very die-hard one.

At his age, it is not an exaggeration to say that he grew up watching Ronaldo play football.

But sometimes, things in the world are so interesting.

Who would have thought that he would cross over by accident and become Ronaldo's head coach?

What's even more outrageous is that after becoming the head coach of Real Madrid, instead of giving full play to the advantages of fans and reusing Ronaldo, he directly suppressed him. Up to now, it has been a month, and he has never been in the big list.

When pouring water in front of the water dispenser, Gao Shen thought for a while, and felt a little ashamed of being a Ronaldo fan.

At least, he was ashamed to mention it.

...

The hardware and software facilities in the Real Madrid coach's office are just fine.

The decoration is very high-end, sofas, desks and so on, it looks like high-end goods at first glance, even the computer looks high-end, playing football manager will definitely be able to open the largest database, no pressure.

Many thoughts ran through Gao Shen's mind, some of which even made him laugh.

After pouring the water, he turned around and walked back to the sofa, only to find Ronaldo sitting across from him, with his hands in front of him, fingers interlocked, looking a little nervous, or rather, a little uneasy.

Gao Shen was a little hard to understand, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood.

What kind of character is Ronaldo?

Many people have the impression that he is honest and cheerful, the kind of person who shows his iconic rabbit teeth when he smiles, and enjoys football very much.

That's certainly true, but only for the part of Ronaldo on the football field.

More strictly speaking, the part after kicking high on the football field.

Ordinary people can't imagine what Ronaldo has experienced in his entire career. For many people, every serious injury he has suffered is unimaginable, and even impossible to overcome in his entire life.

But he got over it, and he played Return of the King every time.

Football has allowed him to gain a lot, but he has also lost a lot.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been the proud son of heaven, recognized by the whole world as an unborn genius, held in the palm of everyone's hand and cared for by everyone, so he is very willful, he needs to be coaxed, cared for, and accommodated by others.

He once stood at the pinnacle of world football. He is the active king who is compared with Pele and Maradona, but he is so fragile. Several serious injuries caused him to fall from the peak rapidly.

Many people think that the World Cup in Korea and Japan made him reach the pinnacle of his football career, which is true, but his career was bleak, and all his honors were obtained by relying on the Brazilian national team.

When he joined Real Madrid, he wanted to prove himself wholeheartedly, but who would have thought that after a league championship, Real Madrid's superstar strategy would fall into a bottomless abyss, various problems emerged endlessly, and all developments were far behind he expected.

In the beginning, the outside world questioned him more and more, and gradually, the teammates around him also began to question him. In the end, even he himself began to doubt himself, whether he is not as strong as he imagined, so nice?

The more he tried to prove himself, the worse things got.

Eventually, he starts to get sensitive, gets complicated, gets anxious.

Willfulness prevents him from cooperating with strong coaches like Cooper and Luxenberg; sensitivity and anxiety make him doubt himself and become less confident; age and injuries make his body continue to decline... …

All of these come together to become Ronaldo today.

...

The office door is closed.

There were only two people inside.

What Gao Shen saw was an anxious and unconfident Ronaldo.

He was never Carlos' type of character,

Even if he sometimes said something in the media, it was actually more like a kind of protection for himself, or a helpless struggle against reality, or an escape.

For example, he indulges in nightclubs and women. Is this very similar to some students who don't like to go to class and like to indulge in computer and online games?

Gao Shen was really surprised. He thought many times what he would be like when he met Ronaldo and how he should talk about it. He thought that Ronaldo was very proud and willful, and he also thought that Ronaldo threatened and intimidated him, but he never thought about it. Ronaldo will show such a vulnerable side in front of him.

He is a genius!

But genius is always fragile!

Gao Shen gently put the water glass in front of Ronaldo, sat down next to him, and saw Ronaldo lowered his head, as if he didn't intend to speak, or he didn't know what to say, and sighed in his heart.

"Actually, I've wanted to have a good talk with you for a long time, but I haven't been able to find a suitable opportunity." Gao Shen opened the topic.

This is a bit perfunctory.

Ronaldo raised his head and glanced at Gao Shen, "Really?"

Gao Shen nodded, "I've always believed that you should be the most important person in the team."

Ronaldo looked at Gao Shen silently, and probably couldn't tell whether Gao Shen's words were true or false.

Because after Gao Shen took office until now, he has never been in the big list once.

"You know, football is a team game composed of eleven people. We want to win a game. In many cases, we don't choose the best and most important eleven, but choose the most suitable ten. A person, through tactics and overall cooperation, maximizes the overall strength, can you understand what I mean?"

Ronaldo understands that the profound meaning is that the strongest and most important does not mean that it is the most suitable.

"Have you watched all the games since I took over?" Gao Shen asked suddenly.

Ronaldo was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "I come to both the home game and the away game to watch the live broadcast."

"How do you feel?" Gao Shen asked again with a smile.

"The whole is stronger than before."

"Have you ever wondered why?"

Ronaldo nodded silently, but said nothing.

He thought about it, that's why he's sitting here.

"Actually, I think the strength of the team has not been fully released, and we still have considerable potential, such as you, Carlos, Robinho, Baptista and Cicinho. , you are all very good players, you all have strong personal abilities and can provide great help to the team."

Gao Shen changed the topic, "Maybe you think my words are a bit false, but think about it, if in Turin yesterday, when Juventus pressed hard and attacked wildly, you were on top of our striker, you said , Capello dare to do this?"

"If at Highbury we start the game against Arsenal and Robinho can come on and play with his dribbling and dribbling advantages, you say, it will cause a lot of damage to Arsenal's defense. How much of a threat?"

Ronaldo stared at Gao Shen, and he suddenly understood that Gao Shen didn't understand them, it wasn't that he didn't understand them, but he didn't need them.

He has also thought about these problems himself, that is, if he is allowed to start instead of Negredo, he may be able to seize some opportunities and score some goals, but it is absolutely impossible for him to run and press in a wide range like Negredo , It is also impossible to engage in so many physical confrontations with the opponent's central defender and consume the opponent's physical energy.

The same is true for Robinho. It is impossible for him to actively retreat to the front of his penalty area when defending like Raul and Beckham, and actively participate in counter-robbing when losing the ball. This is not the style of Brazilian players.

But this is what Gao Shen wants.

In other words, this is the new trend in European football in the past two or three years.

Even in Barcelona, ​​which is known as the strongest in Europe, apart from Ronaldinho, Eto'o, the genius Messi, Giuly, Deco, Xavi, Iniesta... which one of these players is not providing a lot of Run coverage and press oppression?

The superstars of Real Madrid are all old.

In the past, they all wanted to lie on their laurels, play football leisurely, take a high annual salary, and win the championship by the way, but now, such a good day no longer exists.

Zidane, Raul, Beckham, these superstars are fighting every game, and Ronaldo can see it.

...

Gao Shen didn't say any more, but waited silently for Ronaldo to take the initiative to say something again.

He has already expressed his attitude, what he means, I believe Ronaldo must understand.

The point is, is Ronaldo willing?

The office was silent for nearly two minutes before Ronaldo raised his head again, looked directly at Gao Shen, and asked, "Do you think we can win the championship? La Liga or the Champions League, it doesn't matter."

Gao shook his head with a deep sigh and smiled, "Who knows?"

After a pause, he said again: "In La Liga, we were 10 points behind Barcelona before, but now, we have caught up to only 5 points. If we can beat our opponents at the Nou Camp, then we can shrink to 2 points." But you know how difficult it is, if we lose we are eight points behind."

"There is also the Champions League. Our opponent is Juventus, one of the strongest, most balanced and comprehensive teams in European football. Capello is also one of the best coaches in the world. You say, facing such a ball Team, who dares to say that it will win?"

"The quarter-finals are so difficult. What about entering the semi-finals? How about entering the finals?"

The Champions League has never been easy.

Every step taken is a huge test of the team's overall strength and everyone in the team.

Even if they draw 0-0 with Juventus in the away game and return to the Bernabeu, will Real Madrid win?

Gao Shen has indeed captured a fatal loophole in Juventus, but the question is, will Real Madrid be able to take advantage of it? Even if you use it well, you will definitely be able to score goals?

Don't forget, Juventus also has the greatest super goalkeeper in the history of world football, Buffon!

There has never been the word "absolute" in football.

"Ronnie." Seeing that Ronaldo fell into silence again, Gao Shen decided to break the silence.

"As your fan, I am very much looking forward to seeing your performance on the pitch. As the team's head coach, I can also tell you with certainty that Real Madrid needs you, but..."

Gao Shen's conversation suddenly changed, his eyes were fixed on Ronaldo, and his tone became extremely firm.

"Real Madrid needs more cohesion, more unity and more unity!"
