Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine Barcelona Won Again

At midnight on September 15th, Seville Pizjuan Stadium.

The moment the referee Marenco blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Pizjuan Stadium heard wild cheers from the Sevilla fans, and Gao Shen was standing in front of the coach of the visiting team with a depressed face .

Zero to zero, this is the final result displayed on the scoreboard.

The two sides took 33 shots in this game, but none of them scored.

Among them, the Real Madrid team shot 25 shots, nine shots on target, and two center post, all of which were rejected by the old goalkeeper Palop of Sevilla.

What else can Gao Shen say?

When the final whistle sounded, Michel, the head coach of Sevilla and one of the former Real Madrid Five Eagles, walked towards Gao Shen with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand from a distance.

"You guys played really well tonight..." Gao Shen smiled wryly and shook his head, unable to say anything.

Michelle herself was a little embarrassed.

Today, he formed a three-back midfielder combination of Maduro, Medel and Campana in the midfield, making it clear that he must strictly guard against death.

The front center is Gao Shen’s favorite player when he first coached Real Madrid, Negredo, and the right side is the combination of Quickman Navas and Cicinho, that is, this right side, plus Negredo, let Real Madrid’s There were two dangerous situations in the defense.

Once, less than a minute into the start, Navas and Negredo got consecutive kicking opportunities in the penalty area, but they were saved by goalkeeper Courtois steadily and failed to score.

But after that, it will be difficult for Sevilla to create opportunities.

The reason why there was a problem at the beginning was also related to Gao Shen's formation in this game.

Goalkeeper: Courtois.

Defense: Marcos Alonso, Varane, Pepe and Carvajal.

Midfield: Casemiro at the back, Toni Kroos and Verratti in the middle.

Forwards: Ronaldo, Benzema and Vazquez.

Gao Shen did not try his best in this game, but rotated with young players to give them more opportunities.

In fact, this group of teenagers from Real Madrid performed well and played very energetically.

Of course, this is also related to Sevilla's influence by the national team, but the performance of this group of young Real Madrid players is okay.

Marcos Alonso and Varane partnered for the first time. Except for the opening mistake, the rest of the time contained Navas' attack on the right and Negredo's response in the center.

This is really not easy for the two young defenders.

Carvajal also showed his offensive power on the right, playing very well with Vazquez on the wing, and Vazquez hit the post with a shot.

Nearly 70% of the ball possession rate, overwhelming advantage, but failed to score, what else can Real Madrid say?

Ronaldo is really out of shape tonight, and he is a little anxious even after kicking.

Gao Shen replaced Ronaldo with Higuain in the second half, but the Argentine striker also had a center post and failed to repeat Real Madrid's legend of scoring goals in three consecutive games from the bench this season.

...

"Barcelona won again, you have to be prepared to bear the pressure." Michelle sighed and said.

Although he is the head coach of Sevilla, he is also a famous Real Madrid star. He has coached Real Madrid's second team for a long time and has a good relationship with Gao Shen. He has dealt with Gao Shen a lot before.

There was even a saying before that he should be invited back to the Bernabéu as Gao Shen's assistant.

As a result, they now draw with Real Madrid at home.

"There's nothing to stress about. I have to do this. There's another away game next Wednesday. If you don't save some strength, how can you do it?"

Michelle nodded, "The media won't think about us like that."

"Whatever, I have to give this group of young players more opportunities to practice in the game, let them get familiar with the rhythm of the game as soon as possible, grow up as soon as possible, the team forms an effective rotation mechanism, and there is a chance for two-line combat. A main lineup will not last a season."

From the perspective of excavating the youth team this summer, promoting young players, and recalling Marcos Alonso, everyone knows that he will conduct internal excavation of the team.

But there was no way for the first three rounds. Gao Shen couldn't let the main players take turns to play once a week, but now it's different.

Tonight, Real Madrid's main problem is a bit of luck.

As long as the center post is scored once twice, the game is won.

But what can be done?

If the main players are participating in the national team competition, especially the long-distance South American international, Gao Shen is unwilling to rotate, then the young players and substitute players in the team will be disappointed and will seriously lack motivation.

But the consequences of the rotation are also obvious, just like now, being driven to four points by Basara.

Gao Shen can't blame luck entirely, because Real Madrid's own performance is indeed not satisfactory.

"Keep going!" In the end, Michelle could only give one word of encouragement.

Gao Shen smiled, and thanked, "Don't worry, our most important task now is to bite Barcelona at the top of the standings, strive for the points gap not to be widened, and stay in the camp of the first team that wins the championship."

"You have also seen the performance of this group of young players. If you practice again, when they grow up, our stamina will come up, and then we will start to exert our strength."

This is why Gao Shen said that Real Madrid this season will be a team with great stamina.

Many people only saw that Real Madrid suffered an away draw with Sevilla and lost two more points, but they didn't see that Real Madrid adopted two completely different tactics in this game.

One is the main tactic of four-three-three for advanced and key drills, and the other is four-three-one-two. Using the young player Isco as the one, Isco let go of his hands and feet to rush directly, and he performed very well.

This style of play was practiced by Gao Shen in the warm-up match before, but it was the first time to use it in the official game.

In the second half, when Sevilla's physical fitness was almost exhausted, the effect was still very good.

Higuain's center post came from Isco's breakout.

...

Sure enough, Barcelona defeated Getafe 4-1 in this round of away games, leading the standings with a complete victory record.

Real Madrid's league ranking suddenly fell to fourth place, being overtaken by Atletico Madrid and Malaga.

What's more interesting is that Getafe had drawn Real Madrid at home before, in the same stadium and the same opponent, only two rounds away.

After the game, many media reporters made things difficult for Gao Shen.

Gao Shen did not shirk responsibility, but took all the problems on himself.

"The rotation is a decision I made, because we have an away game next Wednesday, we have to go to Germany, I have to be prepared for this, so I arranged some teams that are farther away, or that the national team has played more. Players rest."

Gao Shen explained his intentions.

But he doesn't think Real Madrid played badly in this game.

"The away game against Sevilla, I don't think it's such a bad result, on the contrary, I think it's pretty good."

"Compared to everyone who only focuses on results, I would rather see my players take advantage of every minute of the game and try to create opportunities."

Gao Shen called out the names of several players, Carvajal on the right side, he thought the performance of this young player left a deep impression on people, whether it is speed, technique or attack power, he is very good.

Vazquez is hardworking, hardworking and a noteworthy player.

Needless to say, Varane, after Verratti played, he helped the team firmly control the rhythm and possession of the ball in the midfield. Casemiro made many mistakes, but the overall performance was remarkable.

"His body and confrontation, as well as his defensive performance, I think this is a player worth looking forward to."

"Isco is the most eye-catching player in this game. I think he is the kind of player who has the ability to break the deadlock, but unfortunately, our luck is a little bit worse."

Gao Shen does not deny that Real Madrid's players have not performed well enough.

"But our group of young players is still improving. I meet them every day. I can clearly see that they are improving and growing. I think they are the future of Real Madrid!"

Compared with the stunning performance after his appearance in the last round, Jesse's performance in this round is relatively average, but Gao Shen also expressed his understanding.

For young players, it is impossible to perform well in every game, there are always ups and downs.

"I still say the same thing, it's too early to evaluate the title of the champion, we will prove our strength!"

...

The media's attitude towards Real Madrid's performance is more divided.

The attitude of the media close to Real Madrid is basically more tolerant, thinking that the high-skilled team can still retreat in the away game against Sevilla despite a large rotation, which is really not bad.

Especially the performance of several young players in the team is indeed very good.

Alfredo, the editor-in-chief of Aspen News, believes that the profound thinking is correct. The league is a long process, and it does not make much sense to rush to seize the opportunity now.

"Real Madrid should maintain the pressure on Barcelona now, work hard to cultivate young players in the team, and accumulate stamina for the team."

Alfredo reminded everyone that the league had only just begun.

However, there are also many media who believe that after only four rounds of the league, Real Madrid is already behind Barcelona by as much as four points.

What's more, deep teams haven't performed at a convincing enough level.

Four games, two wins and two draws, seem to remain unbeaten, but both victories are at home, and both away games are all tied.

"It's hard to believe that this is Real Madrid, one of the two champions of the Western Super League!"

The Catalan media is hyping that Messi scored twice again in this round, and with the advantage of six goals, he caught up with Real Madrid's Ronaldo, which made the goal between the two superstars The war was in full swing.

In the game against Sevilla, Ronaldo's sullen expression when he was substituted was interpreted as dissatisfaction with the head coach, especially before the season, the two had had discord.

As for the hype from the outside media, Gao Shen kept a low profile. In his private communication with Ronaldo, he also asked the Portuguese not to clarify to the outside world, lest the media reporters seize the opportunity to hype it up again.

Next, the away game against Dortmund was a tough game, and Gao Shen had to be cautious.

Especially Dortmund, just in the third round of the Bundesliga, beat the pharmaceutical company Leverkusen 3-0 at home.

Klopp's team is in good shape!
