Nine Hundred and Forty-Six 1 Line of Life

"You said it just now! The reaction of the players is very good."

After returning to Valdebebas, all the players were sent away, and Gao Shen and the coaching staff met in the office.

Carlo just talked with the players and came back to report the latest situation to Gao Shen.

At the airport just now, they were blocked by the media and fans, but the team did not accept interviews, nor did they linger, and came back directly, mainly because Gao Shen knew that the media would not ask any good questions.

But the player's emotions still need to continue to pay attention.

"Butragueno just called me. There will be a large number of newspapers coming out tomorrow morning. The public opinion is very unfavorable to us. We need to prepare early. Aspen and Marca will publish a few reports to help us Appease the fans."

Zidane is now the communication channel between the coaching staff and the Bernabeu, responsible for two-way transmission of messages.

"But we still have to be mentally prepared, and the public opinion may be fierce at that time."

Gao Shen itself is the representative of the most traffic in world football, and Real Madrid is also the king of traffic. With the addition of stars such as Ronaldo, Real Madrid's every move has attracted much attention.

Now that Real Madrid's situation is in jeopardy, who wouldn't want to come up and step on it?

Fans of those teams who were defeated by Gao Shen in the past, which one of them is not waiting to see Gao Shen's jokes?

There are also Real Madrid's opponents, they are all waiting to badmouth Real Madrid.

All of these will be overwhelming.

Gao Shen had expected this long ago.

"Tell Butragueno to protect Arbeloa."

Zidane was a little taken aback, looked at Gao Shen, then at Carlo, Hierro and others, and then nodded.

At this time, Gao Shen still thinks about the players and Arbeloa.

This is also a profound and consistent style.

As a manager, he always took all the responsibility, protecting the players and the dressing room.

Many people are wondering why Gao Shen's locker room is always stable?

That's the answer.

He made himself a protective shield in the locker room, and everyone tried not to face the pressure directly, so it was naturally stable.

"What did Florentino say?" Gao Shen asked.

Zidane looked at him and smiled, "I didn't say anything, just a word, he believes you."

Gao Shen nodded, he also guessed.

"The current situation is very unfavorable to us, and we must find a solution as soon as possible." Hierro suggested.

Everyone nodded.

Even if Real Madrid won two consecutive victories, it still depends on the faces of Manchester City and Dortmund in the end. This is too passive.

If there is a draw with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, the situation will be completely different.

But there is nothing to do now, if you lose, you lose. Can you still eat Arbeloa?

Football games are like this, there will always be winners and losers, it is impossible to always be a winner, and it is impossible to always have a good deck of cards.

Over the years as the head coach, Gao Shen has learned a truth.

A real strong player can play well no matter what cards he gets.

"Actually, the current situation is not as desperate as we imagined."

A profound sentence made everyone pay attention.

"Dortmund has 9 points, Manchester City has 7 points, we have 4 points, and Porto has 3 points. But in the next round, we will play Dortmund at home and Manchester City will play Porto at home."

"From the actual situation, it is not a big problem for Manchester City to beat Porto. That is to say, Manchester City will get 10 points and Porto will still have 3 points."

After Gao Shen's analysis, everyone immediately grasped what he wanted to reveal.

"That is to say, as long as we beat Dortmund at home in the fifth round, then we will have 7 points, Dortmund still have 9 points, Manchester City has 10 points, and they have jumped to the top of the group, but Porto only has 3 points."

At this moment, Porto has basically lost the right to advance, and does not even qualify for the Europa League in third place.

In the last round, Real Madrid is away to challenge Porto. Facing a team that has no chance of advancing, Real Madrid will be more sure of winning.

That is to say, Real Madrid seems to have two tough battles, but in fact, as long as they win Dortmund, the situation will improve greatly.

In turn, what if Manchester City can't win Porto?

For Real Madrid, even better!

At that time, whether Manchester City has seven points or eight points, Real Madrid will catch up. In the last round, Real Madrid will beat Porto, and Manchester City will also go all out to beat Dortmund.

By that time, as long as Real Madrid take down Porto, the possibility of promotion is extremely high.

The premise is...

"We must win Dortmund by at least two goals at the Bernabeu." Gao Shen gave an indicator.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, every game is very important, and the schedule has been carefully designed to make every game full of suspense, which is fully reflected in the death group.

Like the current Group D, it seems to be very clear, but in fact it is full of suspense.

Dortmund will face Manchester City and Real Madrid at home and away in the last two rounds. Is he sure of winning?

The same goes for Manchester City and Real Madrid.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, after the points are tied, it is the results of the match.

Judging from the results of the match, Real Madrid lost to Manchester City, but as long as they beat Dortmund by two goals at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid will maintain an advantage in the match against Dortmund.

What does this mean?

If Dortmund doesn't want to score the same points as Real Madrid, it will smash Manchester City in the final round.

Manchester City also have to slam Dortmund in order to secure the right to qualify.

So the key point of the whole situation is the Bernabeu game against Dortmund.

It seems that there are many clues and many possibilities, but in fact, as long as this battle is won, the situation will become very clear, and Real Madrid will have a glimmer of life.

Of course, if Dortmund cannot win by two goals, the situation may continue to be complicated.

Even Real Madrid may not be able to qualify.

After Gao Shen sorted it out like this, everyone saw it clearly.

It is really difficult to beat Dortmund by two goals at home, but at least there is a clear direction and goal.

What people are most afraid of is not the problem, but the lack of direction and the loss of the goal.

As long as you have a direction and a goal, no matter how difficult it is, there is hope!

Carlo, Zidane and Hierro all regained their confidence.

"Abeloa will be suspended with a red card, what are you going to do?" Carlo asked with concern.

This will also be the guideline for his subsequent training arrangements.

At present, Real Madrid has many players who can play right back, such as Ramos, Nacho and Carvajal, all of them are competent.

But there is a problem. If Ramos pulls to the right, the central defender will have problems.

Varane is still too young, and Albiol's hard power is not enough.

Facing Dortmund, the central defender has to directly mark Lewandowski, which is a tough problem.

Many people say that Ramos and Pepe are reckless and frizzy, but the hard power of the two is really strong.

Especially after Gao Shen coached, the team's entire tactical system stabilized, and they all calmed down a lot.

The current Real Madrid is still very systematic in defense.

"I want to investigate Carvajal." Gao Shen said.

Carlo frowned, "Dortmund's wings are very strong."

Both Zidane and Hierro nodded and looked at Gao Shen.

Dortmund's two flanks are very strong, everyone knows this, can Carvajal hold it?

"The most important thing for us in this game is not defense, but offense."

Gao Shen gave a tone to the game.

"We are at home and we have to score two goals. If we still think about defense, what will happen to the mentality of the players?"

Worry about gains and losses, that's for sure.

Using Ramos to pull the side, the right road is stable, but the middle road is full of hidden dangers.

More importantly, the players are not stupid, they will also read the words and the mood, and will guess the intention of the head coach.

Once the head coach is conservative, don't they play more cautiously?

"If you want to face Royce directly on the left, Marcos Alonso and Nacho can both be considered."

The defensive abilities of these two teenagers are very good, the key depends on who plays better.

For Real Madrid, there is another benefit.

From the fourth round of the Champions League group to the middle of the fifth round, there are two full weeks.

During this period of time, Gao Shen can conduct targeted training for the team.

It's going to be an uphill battle, a tough one.

If Gao Shen can analyze it, Klopp will definitely be able to, and he will also know that this battle against the Bernabeu is a focus battle.

In any case, it is king for Dortmund to win this battle first and qualify first.

As for the future, we will talk about it later.

Therefore, Dortmund will also smash Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

...

It was early morning when I returned home from Valdebebas.

Gao Shen timidly entered the room, saw that his wife had already fallen asleep, and then cautiously went to the next room to take a shower and change clothes.

Pregnant women are usually drowsy, but the job of the head coach often lasts until midnight.

Even in Madrid's home games, the kick-off is at around eight or nine o'clock, or even ten o'clock.

This is also a major feature of Spain.

People in this country are all night owls.

But no matter how late Gao Shen is, he will go home and sleep.

It's not that Su Qing is afraid that he will make trouble outside. Anyway, she lives in Baldbebas, so what are you afraid of?

The main thing is that she wants to see him.

And Gao Shen also wants to go home.

No matter how annoying and tired he is outside, he can always feel at ease when he comes home and lies beside his wife.

When he woke up the next morning, he started with confidence again.

Real Madrid's head coach is really under a lot of pressure and challenges, but he also has a strong sense of accomplishment.

This is also the reason why so many world-renowned marshals fell here.

If it was good, it would have been snatched up by others long ago, and it would not be possible to give the benefits to Gao Shen.

It is because it is too difficult, the pressure is too great, and other people can't do it well, so Real Madrid will do everything possible to invite Gao Shen back.

Just like now, if the psychological quality is not strong enough, the head coach will be overwhelmed in minutes.

If we lose the remaining two games, there will definitely be problems in the locker room. Even if the management doesn't say anything, the pressure on the head coach will increase sharply, and may even collapse in the end.

It's not a joke, many head coaches coach rich teams, that's it.

But Gao Shen believes that he will never be one of them.

After he took a shower and lay back on the bed, Su Qing, who was sleeping on her side with her back to him, turned around gently, reached out to hug his hand, and leaned her whole head against his pillow.

Even if he didn't say anything, Gao Shen still felt at ease.

Like a ship on a long voyage, it has escaped the turbulent waves and finally sailed into a calm harbor.
