Nine Hundred and Twenty I Just Don't Believe that You Are so Profound!

On the evening of October 3rd, at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.

In the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Real Madrid played at home against Porto.

The Bernabeu continued to be full.

Since Gao Shen took charge of Real Madrid, every game at the Bernabeu has been overcrowded, not only the ordinary audience seats, but even the VIP boxes and administrative stands are all full.

Real Madrid under the coach of Gao Shen, although the results in the away game are not particularly ideal, but they have always been very good at home.

In the last round, they beat Deportivo 7-1 at home.

The record at home is well-known, so Real Madrid fans are particularly happy to walk into the Bernabeu to watch the game.

What's more, Gao Shen is their long-awaited real son.

When Vilanova took Jordi Lula and entered the stadium among the fans, it happened that the Real Madrid fans in the Bernabeu South Stand pulled out a huge poster that occupied almost most of the South Stand. It is a profound photo.

This huge poster was pieced together by Real Madrid fans in the south stand holding up the paper cards in their hands. It looks very spectacular and it is also the highest courtesy they have given Gao Shen.

While holding up the posters, they all shouted their profound names in Chinese in unison.

This has become a routine at the Bernabéu before the start of every game.

"He is so popular in Real Madrid!" Jordi Lula said enviously.

As a professional coach, it is such an honor to be treated like this by the fans in a team.

Especially when this team is still a top giant like Real Madrid, it is simply the lifelong dream of all professional coaches.

Vilanova was still quite unconvinced in his heart, but he couldn't hide the envious look in his eyes.

It would be great if Barcelona fans could treat him like this!

...

Both of them are not strangers to the Bernabeu, so they found their seats easily and sat down.

When they enter,

The players of Real Madrid and Porto have finished their pre-match warm-up, returned to the locker room, and made the final preparations before the game, and the atmosphere of the fans at the scene was also pushed to the peak.

Real Madrid fans are still very good at creating an atmosphere, especially the diehard fans in the South Stand, they are still very powerful when they play their lives, and the momentum is not lost to any team at all.

It was at this time that the starting lineups of both sides came out.

There are basically no changes here in Porto, and the starting lineup that defeated Manchester City in the last round of home upset is the main one.

In front is Jackson Martinez as the center, with James Rodriguez and Varela on the wings.

The midfield is composed of Fernando, Defour and Gonzalez, and the two central defenders are still a combination of Brazilian central defender Maicon and Argentine central defender Otamendi.

Among them, Maicon has the same name as Inter Milan's right back, but he is a tall central defender with a height of 1.91 meters.

Obviously, Victor Pereira tasted the sweetness from his upset victory over Manchester City in the first round.

"Jackson Martinez's impact will also be a big threat to Real Madrid's defense, and James Rodriguez's passing ability is also very good." Lula analyzed.

Jackson Martinez has a very strong body. As soon as he joined, he smashed all directions in the Portuguese Super League and replaced Hulk.

Speaking of which, Porto has also emerged in large numbers in recent years.

First, in 2009, he bought Argentine striker Lisandro Lopez to Ligue 1 Lyon for 22 million euros, earning a fortune from the vampire Aulas, and immediately connected seamlessly, signing Colombian center Farr from the Argentine River Plate Test.

It was bought for 4.5 million euros and sold for 40 million euros two years later.

What's even more outrageous is that after selling Falcao, the Brazilian Hulk started to take over. In just one year, this summer, Hulk transferred to the Russian Super League Zenit for a sky-high price of 50 million euros.

After selling Hulk, Porto only spent 8 million euros to introduce a powerful center like Jackson Martinez.

Sometimes, I really have to admire Porto's scouts' ability to recruit players.

As far as selling forwards is concerned, Porto has earned more than 100 million euros in the last two seasons, which is really good at business.

Of course, there are also teams like Porto in La Liga, such as Atletico Madrid, who have become addicted to selling forwards in recent years.

Not to mention Sevilla. Although it has fallen back recently, the scout network of this team all over the world is quite amazing. It is said that Monchi has more than 500 amateur scouts, and the number is still increasing Expansion, all over the world.

Therefore, as long as a young player emerges somewhere, even in a small youth team, someone will soon be passed on to Monchi's desk. Sevilla can play so well in La Liga , Monchi and his scouting network contributed a lot.

The same goes for Porto.

It is even possible that the two scouting networks overlap.

That is, a part-time scout who informs multiple clubs at the same time, which is not surprising at all.

Back then, when Kaka's agent was promoting him, didn't he deliver Kaka's resume and information to the major European giants at the same time, which was rejected by Florentino?

And this season, a similar team has emerged in European football, the newly promoted Leeds United from the Premier League.

It sold more than 100 million euros in one summer. The key is that it was sold out, and it is still ranked third in the Premier League. This is outrageous.

This team is also a frankly advanced team, which is even more outrageous.

Therefore, everyone outside is spreading the word that there is magic in the profound.

Hmph, I just don't believe that you are so profound!

Vilanova secretly thought.

...

If it is said that Victor Pereira's starting lineup for Porto was stable, then Real Madrid's starting lineup surprised both Vilanova and Lula, and even the entire Bernabéu stadium clearly heard the surprise of Real Madrid fans .

Di Maria didn't show up!

This is definitely big news.

Many people would think that Ronaldo is the top scorer in Real Madrid, Benzema is the one with the obvious tactical role, the three midfielders are Toni Kroos, Modric and Harvey Alonso, and Di Maria is a support Role.

But actually?

It is now recognized by insiders that Di Maria has performed the best and most threatening in Real Madrid this season.

Before that, Sacchi even stated in the column that Gao Shen's preference for Di Maria is obvious.

The Argentine doesn't score many goals, but has a lot of assists. In the advanced tactical system, he is the one with the greatest degree of freedom, even greater than Modric and Ronaldo.

Winger, midfielder, left, right, center...

Di Maria can change several different positions continuously in one game. The key is that he performed very well in each position, and even the use of Di Maria made many people in the circle start to look at him. Study the advanced set of ideas.

Ronaldo's goals are very important, but Di Maria's role is equally important, not losing to Ronaldo at all.

But now, in such a critical game, Gao Shen actually won Di Maria and played Higuain.

"Is this to make Di Maria save some strength?" Vilanova asked with a frown.

Judging from the playing time, Di Maria did play a bit too much.

If Gao Shen lets him sit on the bench and recharge his batteries to prepare for the Century Derby, it is not impossible.

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated? The opponent is Porto who defeated Manchester City!" Lula was a little skeptical.

Real Madrid's best trident this season is Ronaldo, Benzema and Di Maria, or if Benzema is replaced by Higuain, it will also perform well, but Ronaldo and Di Maria are Changeless.

Now, with Higuain, it's a bit strange.

There is no adjustment in the midfield. Toni Kroos, Modric and Harvey Alonso are all there.

In the last round against Deportivo, the teenager Casemiro performed well, but Gao Shen was obviously useless in this crucial battle. This is not surprising, because the teenager is still a teenager after all, and may not be reliable at critical moments.

A young player like Casemiro is still a little tender after all, and needs to practice more.

Vilanova, who was born as a youth team coach, knows this better than anyone else. He is definitely one of the best coaches in the world today with the ability to train young players and train young players.

He knows how to train young generals step by step.

No, the right side became Arbeloa again, not the amazing Carvajal.

In teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the pressure of the game is too great. It may not be a good thing to let the teenagers take too much responsibility all at once.

This is the reason why many young players who played well in the youth team can't play well in the first team.

"Real Madrid's lineup is still a bit thin." Vilanova said.

Lula nodded, "It's okay to fight on one line, but it's really weak to fight on two lines, especially the midfield and wing."

In the midfield, Verratti performed well, but he was a little immature, and Kaka was surprising.

The advanced coaching staff still has capable people. At least after a summer of special training, Kaka seems to have recovered a lot, but he is still far from his peak, but he is still available.

Isco's words still need to be refined.

The two wingers, Jesse and Vazquez, are young players who need to be refined and cultivated.

To some extent, Real Madrid's current lineup is even thinner than Barcelona.

Gao Shen said that this was because he did not meet the right players and would rather be short than indiscriminate.

But now he has to bear the consequences and let Higuain come to the side because he doesn't trust Vazquez enough.

"What I don't understand is, why did he take down Di Maria and cut off his arm before this big battle?" Vilanova racked his brains and couldn't figure it out.

Is it for the sake of spreading doubts?

But it doesn't make sense, if they lose to Porto, what kind of doubts are there?

As for injuries, he can sit on the bench.

"I didn't hear that he was injured either." Lula explained.

Vilanova and his assistants pondered for a long time, until the players from both sides entered the field, they still didn't understand Gao Shen's intention.

In the end, they came to a consistent conclusion.

Don't think about it if you don't understand it.

God knows, what is this wonderful flower Gao Shen thinking?

Anyway, it's not a good thing, Barcelona just needs to be careful.
