Nine Hundred and Seventy-Four Promises to Real Madrid Fans

After returning to Madrid from the UK, Gao Shen began to devote himself to the intensive winter break training and preparations.

It is said to be training and preparing for the battle, but in fact, there is only one week.

The Christmas holiday, plus the winter break training camp, is a rare respite for players who have been fighting for many months.

Pochettino still did not return to Barcelona, ​​but stayed in Madrid.

He even took his family over from Barcelona, ​​rented a house in the community where Gao Shen and Zidane lived, and became neighbors.

By the way, after returning to Real Madrid with Gao Shen, Carlo has also moved out of his original small courtyard and bought a house in the community where Gao Shen lives. This is also the property he has accumulated over the years .

He once thought about arranging his son to join the coaching staff of Real Madrid, to study with Gao Shen, so that he could inherit his father's footsteps in the future and become a football coach, but there is no way, his son likes basketball.

Therefore, Gao Shen used his connections to arrange him into Real Madrid's basketball team.

You know, Real Madrid's basketball team is also a proper European giant.

After Pochettino rented in, it was basically equivalent to helping Gao Shen. Although he was not a coach of Real Madrid, he could still commute normally every day.

This situation is not special at all, on the contrary, there are many, but generally speaking, the media will not report that's all.

Many head coaches will go through such a process before coaching, and many head coaches will even do this after coaching. Even Real Madrid now has many coaches who come here for their fame.

In contrast, Pochettino is only the most famous among them, and the closest to Gao Shen.

...

According to past practice, the first day of training during the winter break training camp is open to the media and fans.

Gao Shen arranged the open training in the afternoon, at the Di Stefano Stadium in Valdebebas, which is the home stadium of the Castilla game, and fans and media can enter the stadium to watch Real Madrid's training.

As for the morning, Real Madrid has too many things to do.

The first is the team's wounded.

Gao Shen is most concerned about Marcelo's injury.

The Brazilian spent Christmas in Madrid this time, and he didn't want to aggravate his injury by running back and forth. However, judging from the current recovery situation of the injury, the overall situation is still optimistic. It should not be a big problem to come back before the knockout round of the Champions League round of 16 .

By the way, Real Madrid's opponent in the knockout round of the Champions League is Manchester United.

The unlucky Red Devils worked hard to get first place in the group, but they met Gao Shen in the round of 16.

Therefore, when Gao Shen and Pochettino invited Ferguson to dinner in Cheshire, the old man was so angry that he yelled at UEFA.

Who would want to meet rivals like Gao Shen and Real Madrid in the top 16?

In addition to Marcelo, Higuain is also injured, mainly because the muscles of his right foot are slightly strained, but it is basically fine now.

There is also Albiol, the central defender is also injured, which is also the focus of the Real Madrid coaching staff.

Among the sick and injured, Gao Shen paid the most attention to, but it was also Marcelo who caused the most headache.

After the injury, the Brazilian gained a lot of weight and seriously failed to meet the standard. That is to say, even if he recovers from his injury, he still needs to carry out physical training and adjust his state, and the time is very tight.

Therefore, after getting Marcelo's medical report, Gao Shen gave Buenaventura and Pintus a death order, and he must do everything possible to help Marcelo recover as soon as possible, preferably in time for the match against Manchester United. the match of.

"In the first half, we were aggrieved enough. In the second half, we should be proud!" Gao Shen said harshly.

He has been coaching for so many years, and he has never encountered such a setback as in the first half, especially in the Champions League group stage, where he was really tossed.

Buenaventura and Pintus glanced at each other, and they both accepted Gao Shen's military order.

The situation of the other players is relatively good. Even during the Christmas holiday, they are still self-disciplined, basically have no major problems, and have not made any troubles.

It's been a smooth Christmas, good thing.

...

In the morning, more is spent in the physical examination and adjustment of the players.

In the afternoon, the whole team set off to the Di Stefano Stadium for the first training session after the winter break.

At this time, the stadium that can accommodate 8,000 people is already full of seats.

Eight thousand Real Madrid fans came to the scene to cheer for the team, and the training of Real Madrid players was also very relaxed.

The training programs are also all about recovery.

The real winter break training will start tomorrow, when that time comes, it will be the moment for them to experience Buenaventura and Pintus' devilish methods.

They all call this the winter break charging station.

After the training, the team also had many interactive programs with the fans on site.

For example, they'll throw signed football boots in the stands, they'll throw signed footballs up there, among other things.

All in all, the atmosphere at the scene was very warm, with constant cheers.

Afterwards, Gao Shen led the whole team to thank the Real Madrid fans who came to the scene.

After the training session, Gao Shen took the team back to the first team, and at the same time explained some things to the team, and then disbanded, and he himself had to attend a press conference.

This is also routine.

In a club like Real Madrid, the work of the head coach has never been as simple as leading the team in training and games, and dealing with the media is also a very important link.

And every time they meet with the media, they will try their best to dig holes.

For example, this time, someone asked Gao Shen to confirm a rumor from the outside world.

Gao Shen is planning to replace Casillas with Courtois.

Gao Shen categorically denied this, and said it in a very, very positive tone.

"You guys should know that the last thing I like is someone maliciously speculating about what's going on inside our locker room."

"Just like Iker Casillas, there is no doubt that he is the captain of Real Madrid and a vital member of the team."

"If someone tells you that Real Madrid's captain is dispensable, then I can only say that you know nothing about Real Madrid."

Gao Shen once again clarified that Casillas and Courtois are both part of the team. The current state and performance of the two are very good, but the division of labor is different.

Courtois is doing well in the league, Iker Casillas is doing well in the cup, is there any problem?

"I don't know how everyone understands Real Madrid, but in my opinion, coaching Real Madrid is the most difficult, because Real Madrid is the most special team. He must be Real Madrid first, and then the players, coaches, and others. ..."

"Real Madrid has its own values, and in Real Madrid, the most important thing is not the head coach, not the players, not even the chairman, but the Bernabéu."

What Gao Shen said was obviously a Bernabéu fan.

"In Real Madrid, any player, no matter how big his name is, no matter how respected his status is, it is impossible for him to surpass the name of Real Madrid, and it is impossible to surpass the Bernabéu."

"So, I tell my players that if you want to be successful at Real Madrid, you must first learn to discipline yourself."

This profound analysis undoubtedly proves his familiarity and understanding of Real Madrid.

Maybe it's not deep enough, maybe it's not quite right, but at the very least, it's convincing.

"To sum up, I have never felt, or I have never had any impression that in Real Madrid, any player is irreplaceable, and any player cannot be replaced."

"Everyone should work hard for Real Madrid, whether it is a starting game, a substitute, or even outside the squad, these are normal."

"So, going back to the previous question, I think Casillas and Courtois are both Real Madrid players, they are both important, and there is no question of who will replace whom."

"Our principle is very clear, whoever is in good form will help the team more as a whole, and whoever plays the game."

This is actually a very sensitive topic, so Gao Shen handled it very carefully, and his answer was also very careful, especially the wording, for fear of accidentally saying the wrong thing.

As the captain of the team, Casillas has too much influence in Real Madrid, and he is also the captain of the Spanish national team, which is even more extraordinary.

If Gao Shen now says he wants to block Casillas, then everyone can refer to Aragones blocking Raul back then.

Gao Shen dare to say that the turmoil caused will definitely not be smaller than that at that time.

More importantly, Courtois himself is already walking on eggshells.

The Belgian teenager is actually really strong against pressure. Under such a huge pressure, he did not miss any mistakes and did not leave Casillas any chance.

In this case, what Gao Shen needs to do is to reduce the pressure for him as much as possible, instead of adding burden to him.

Moreover, now Real Madrid's dressing room also needs stability, which requires Casillas.

After answering the questions about Casillas, Gao Shen answered many questions one after another, including introducing the current injury situation of the team, as well as the transfer and signings during this winter break.

Granero transferred to Real Sociedad, and Real Madrid did not make things difficult for the transfer fee, but sold the Pirates for five million euros. This is also hoping that Granero can have a better career in Real Sociedad develop.

Aspen revealed that Real Madrid's move actually has another meaning, that is, they hope to have a good relationship with Real Sociedad.

The current team's midfielder Illia Ramendi has performed very well and is known as the new Harvey Alonso, and Real Madrid has also been eyeing this young local midfielder for a long time.

Aspen revealed that Granero's transfer is a throwing stone for Real Madrid, and they still want to sign Illarramendi in the transfer market this summer.

Gao Shen did not disclose more information about this summer's transfer, but reiterated that the team will not introduce players or sell them during the winter break.

"I'm happy with the team's current squad and I believe we can finish the three-way game."

Gao Shen also explained that this is mainly because there are no players Real Madrid needs in the transfer market.

But Gao Shen has repeatedly emphasized that Real Madrid's current lineup has enough strength to hit various championships.

"I still say the same thing, we are confident that we will win at least one important championship trophy before the end of this season!"

This is also Gao Shen's commitment to Real Madrid fans!
