Nine Hundred and Fourteenth Conflict Between Gao Shen and the Chairman of Real Madrid

After Casemiro joined Real Madrid, he once heard a legend about Valdebebas.

In the office of the first-team coaches, there is an unused desk. According to word of mouth, it is an office area exclusively for Gao Shen.

In 2006, when Gao Shen coached Real Madrid, he transformed from a fledgling rookie to the coach of Real Madrid. However, he did not move out of the coach's office, but continued to work with all the first-team coaches.

Because, he may dismiss get out of class at any time.

But under such pressure, he finally left Real Madrid with his head held high and his chest high with the legendary double crown, and the desk dedicated to him has always been empty.

Real Madrid's coaches changed and changed, but no one moved the table.

Until now, Gao Shen has returned.

That desk is still there, but Gao Shen has already entered the head coach's office to work.

It is like a legend, so that everyone who passes the door can't help but look at it more.

Just like Casemiro at this moment.

After reading it, he went on to the head coach's office.

Knock knock knock.

Casemiro knocked on the closed door, and heard a deep voice from inside.

"Please come in."

Casemiro opened the door and went in, saw Gao Shen working on the computer at the desk, smiled and raised his right hand, "Boss, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, hurry up and sit down."

Gao Shen greeted Casemiro to sit down on the sofa, where he crackled and typed for two or three minutes, obviously dealing with some documents, which is also one of the jobs of the head coach of Real Madrid.

Soon, Gao Shen came over and poured Casemiro a glass of water.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you." Gao Shen sat down beside him with a smile.

"No, why would I be nervous?" Casemiro said with a smile.

But this teenager who has just turned 20 does have nervousness written on his face,

Just pretending to relax.

Sophisticated and not forced.

It's not unusual for a twenty-year-old general to be nervous in front of him, and even he wasn't surprised at all.

With his status and achievements today, there are not many players who can keep easy in front of him.

The last time Gao Shen talked with Casemiro was about a week ago.

At the time, Casemiro had just returned from the Brazilian national team.

Yes, this kid joined the Brazilian national team, and it was last year.

The reason is quite simple. He performed very well in the 2011 World Youth Championship and helped the Brazilian National Youth Team win the championship.

It was also in that World Youth Championship that Real Madrid, Juventus and many other teams were eyeing Casemiro.

After Gao Shen took office, he instructed Real Madrid's technical department to sign Casemiro.

And Gao Shen communicates with the players about once a week, which can help him clearly understand the changes of the players, including physical, psychological, and emotional.

In a team at the level of Real Madrid, to be honest, the strength of all players, including young players like Casemiro, is beyond doubt. They are all very good, but at most they lack experience.

The key is how to help them play their strengths.

During the last communication, Casemiro mentioned that he hoped to bring his mother to Madrid, but some procedures were not completed.

After Gao Shen learned about it, he asked people from the Madrid administrative department to help deal with it. This time he also used this topic as an entry point, and Casemiro also told him that the problem was solved, and his mother’s visa to Spain had been issued. Approved.

The Brazilian is very grateful to Gao Shen for coming forward for him.

He knew very well that since he was a soft-spoken person and hadn't shown his depth, the people in Real Madrid's administrative department might not be willing to deal with such trivial matters for him.

A situation like this is encountered by almost every Brazilian who plays in Europe, and Casemiro has heard about it from his teammates and friends, but he really handled it smoothly this time.

Gao Shen also congratulated Casemiro on the reunion of mother and son soon, because he had heard before that Casemiro's father ran away from home after quarreling with his mother when he was very young. depend on each other.

In fact, sometimes, Gao Shen really feels that the reason why football cannot develop in China, but can develop in Europe, South America and other regions is that a very important reason is the gap between the rich and the poor and the solidification of the class.

Before, he had read Simon Cooper's [Football Economics], which mentioned that the players who play in the UK are basically from the middle and lower classes and have no culture. This is especially true in South America and Africa. Engineers like Kaka My father's family is already considered a very good background.

Of course, there are relatively few players like Pique and Marcos Alonso.

No, the children of Zidane's family were not kicked out either.

The reason is actually very simple, because for many children from middle and lower class families, playing football is something they can touch, and it is the only bridge to get rid of the current family predicament and realize the class transition.

It's a bit like high school.

Becoming a professional player is equivalent to being admitted to a bachelor's degree, and becoming a European professional player is equivalent to being admitted to a college. If it is better, the European mainstream league, then congratulations, you are admitted to 211. If you enter the five major leagues , then it is 985. If it is more powerful and enters a wealthy team, it is simply Tsinghua University and Peking University.

If you look at the thinking logic of European and South American players taking football according to the thinking logic of domestic college entrance examinations, it will be very smooth, because apart from this, they really have no other path.

The same is true of Casemiro's family.

...

"You should have noticed what the chairman said recently, right?"

After chatting for a while, Gao Shen changed the topic.

Real Madrid is a membership-only club. It holds a general meeting every year, all in October, and before each general meeting, there will be two preparatory meetings.

After the latest preparatory meeting, Florentino was asked many sensitive questions by media reporters at the press conference.

This is actually quite speechless, because since Gao Shen took the coach, it is not easy for the outside media to find news from Baldbebas, and Gao Shen still has strict control over this.

Therefore, media reporters aimed at the management.

The questions are not only about the advanced level, but also about Ronaldo, and even more about the youth training.

For example, some media asked that Gao Shen asked Ronaldo to participate in the defense and asked Florentino's opinion.

The chairman of Real Madrid did not answer directly, but he was very profound.

"Real Madrid need talent, but talent also needs to run on the pitch. If you don't run on the pitch, the fans will boo you."

"Gao Shen knows Real Madrid well, so he knows how to help players perform better."

There is another issue that has caused quite a bit of controversy.

The media reporter asked, Real Madrid's first team has a lot of young players, which is unprecedented in the past. At the same time, they have not invested much in the transfer market. Has Florentino changed Real Madrid's business route?

This is a big question, Florentino's answer is, no.

The chairman of Real Madrid said that over the years, Real Madrid's business philosophy has always been to invite the best players to play for Real Madrid, and this will never change.

"The whole world loves young players, but there is also a major problem, they are all inexperienced."

"I said before that if Zidane joined Real Madrid at the age of 18, he would not get playing time."

"It has never been stipulated by anyone that in the best clubs in the world, players from the youth academy must play. This is a mistake."

Florentino also explained Real Madrid's youth training concept. For example, there are 39 Real Madrid youth training players in La Liga, and there are 39 Real Madrid youth training players in clubs in other European leagues. This proves that Real Madrid's youth training is successful.

The chairman of Real Madrid said that if the youth training players do not get a chance in Real Madrid, they should naturally go to a team that can give them a chance to play. Therefore, Real Madrid will carefully select teams for them and give them more opportunities to play.

"If you go to those teams and they don't let you play, you can't play for a year or two, it is very bad, it is also a loss for us, it is difficult for us to let them return to Real Madrid to play. "

This is the current youth training philosophy of Real Madrid.

For the current first team, Florentino said that the team has been selecting and looking for suitable players, hoping to further strengthen and enhance the competitiveness of the team.

This situation is currently temporary.

This was interpreted by many media as a kind of disagreement between Florentino and Gao Shen.

Because Gao Shen wants to reuse the youth academy players, but Florentino does not allow it.

Gao Shen didn't even know that he still had this kind of disagreement with Florentino.

But he is asking Casemiro this question now because Casemiro is 20 years old, which happens to be the age group that Florentino said needs to be rented or sold to get more opportunities to play.

This news was hyped up by the media, including the "contradictions" between the Real Madrid chairman and the head coach, and Casemiro naturally heard about it.

But he didn't understand what Gao Shen meant by that?

"Let me tell you frankly, Casemiro, you are a player I personally signed. I still hope that you will continue to play in Real Madrid, but you must show convincing performance and ability. You understand my goal. mean?"

Casemiro nodded emphatically, "I understand, boss, I will work harder."

"Your training attitude is very good. I and the coaching staff are very satisfied with you. We all hope to help you and further improve your performance. In the next game against Deportivo, I want you to start. But I wish you the best performance."

The last time Casemiro started was against Sevilla in an away game. The score was zero to zero. Many young people worry that they will never get another chance.

Casemiro is one of them.

But now, Gao Shen said that he will be given another chance to start.

The Brazilians were both surprised and delighted.

"Last time against Sevilla, you played well, but it wasn't enough. You know, what Real Madrid want is always the best player. Even if you are not the best now, you have to show it. A convincing performance that proves you can be the best, okay?"

Casemiro felt the deep trust and cultivation from the head coach, which made the Brazilian teenager Huo Di stand up.

"I promise you, Boss, I will work hard this time, and I will never let you down!"
