Starting with Real Madrid

Recovery training the morning after the race is crucial.

Except for some special circumstances, such as players returning to the national team urgently, most of the time, the restorative training on the morning of the game is the most important thing for all head coaches, because it is related to the preparation for the next game.

Gao Shen still did not intervene too much in training, but stood on the training ground and watched.

By convention, the coaching staff divides the players into two groups. One is those who have participated in the game, and this part of the players has undergone recovery training.

The difference is that some of the teenagers who were recruited from the second team were recalled by the second team coach Portugal to play the game. They also participated in recovery training, which was also agreed by Gao Shen and Portugal.

But even the so-called high-intensity training, due to the presence of players such as Ronaldo and Carlos, the intensity is still not high. The players are very relaxed during training, and it is obvious that the intensity is not very high.

Gao Shen saw Benitez's training arrangement in the tactics library. He has always insisted that in each training session, the training intensity should be arranged to the extent that the players can do their best. How to adjust it depends on the ability of the coaching staff. .

Why is it set at this intensity?

After all, it's a bit like the carrot hanging in front of the donkey's head.

If the training intensity is too high, the players will not be able to do it, they will be disappointed, and their enthusiasm will be severely dampened; conversely, if the training intensity is too low, just like the current Real Madrid, the players will not get the real value of training.

The best training should be to arrange the intensity on the line that players can do their best to complete, which can not only fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the players, but also fully exercise the players and improve the players' game level.

But now it seems that Real Madrid does not have such conditions.

……

After the training, Gao Shen left Raul alone.

Raul gave support and affirmation to Gao Shen's decision to cancel the vacation and arrange another targeted training session.

"With our current situation, it is indeed very difficult to challenge Arsenal at Highbury." Raul understood very well.

Gao Shen and Raul walked slowly on the training ground side by side, walking towards the training building.

"The score in the first leg forced us to score away from home, otherwise this game would be meaningless. We know, and the whole world knows, Wenger will definitely plan his tactics for this."

Raul stopped, looked at Gao Shen, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Gao Shen shook his head frankly, "I need to know more about the team's situation before making a final decision."

After a pause, Gao Shen added: "But one thing I'm very sure of is... I don't plan to use the Brazilian Gang for the time being."

Raul's most ideal striker partner is a high-center striker like Morientes. Now there is a Negredo in the Real Madrid team. The brace against Atletico Madrid is also considered to be because of the existence of Negredo. Freed Raul.

If Ronaldo is allowed to return at this time, it will inevitably recompress Raul's tactical space.

Someone has done statistics in a previous life, Ronaldo was the partner with the second most goals among many striker partners in Raul's career, second only to Morientes, and even higher than the later Van Nistelrooy.

But data doesn't mean everything. Raul's partner with Morientes is the most complementary, while his partner with Ruud van Nistelrooy has only been together for more than two years, but his scoring efficiency is not inferior to that of Ronaldo. .

But you must know that Raul, who was partnered with Ruud van Nistelrooy, was far from the peak of his career and achieved it after being away from the striker for a long time.

At this moment, Raul has just played a good ball, and he doesn't want Ronaldo to be reactivated by Gao Shen anyway.

And Gao Shen's statement is also giving Raul a reassurance.

The Brazilian Gang hasn't given up, he doesn't plan to use it, and it won't work well.

"Understood, if there is anything I need to cooperate with, you can say that, I will mention the decision to cancel the holiday in the locker room, there will be no problem." Raul assured in return.

As the captain, the leader of the local gang, and the big boss in the locker room, Raul still has some weight.

"No matter how we're going to fight, it will be a tough fight against Arsenal. Can you do it physically?"

In fact, Raul has just returned from injury not long ago, and Gao Shen is very concerned about this issue.

"I feel very good now, the whole person is relaxed, don't worry, I will do my best to play this game well." Raul promised with gritted teeth.

As the captain of Real Madrid, he is very clear about what this game means to Real Madrid, and he is also very clear about the importance Real Madrid has always attached to the Champions League.

Gao Shen did not doubt Raul's promise, nodded, and said nothing, expressing his trust.

……

Unlike Raul, Zidane's mentality towards this game is more complicated.

If Real Madrid lose to Arsenal, it will be the last Champions League game of his career.

Zidane is a proud person, and Gao Shen believes that he will never accept that the last Champions League game of his career will end in this way.

Therefore, Gao Shen didn't deliberately use words to provoke him, but just told him personally that he had decided to cancel the vacation and explained his intention. Zidane agreed without hesitation and accepted it.

"I think you should think about letting Ronnie play." Zidane suggested.

Gao Shen looked directly at Zidane, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts from his expression.

The Frenchman hesitated for a moment and explained: "I think, at this time, Ronnie will be the most important weapon for us to score goals."

When he said this, his expression was very calm, and he was obviously very upright in his heart.

"I don't deny that the more critical moment he is, the more he can play the threat of scoring." Gao Shen first affirmed, but the conversation changed, "But have you ever thought about it, we just want to score in this game ?"

Without waiting for Zidane to reply, Gao Shen shook his head and said, "No, what we want is to win!"

With a 0-1 loss at home in the first leg, scoring goals is not enough to win.

In other words, scoring a goal is just a prerequisite, and the next step is to win.

If you want to win, you must defend well. Real Madrid can only win if you defend well while scoring goals.

It doesn't mean that Real Madrid's defense will get worse after Ronaldo comes on the field, it's not inevitable.

But it is undeniable that Ronaldo has really contributed nothing to the team's defense.

Don't talk about his attitude, just talk about his current physical fitness. Is he capable of playing this kind of intensity?

Zidane was speechless, he knew that the deep worry was right.

Ronaldo's question is just a small topic of the conversation between Gao Shen and Zidane. What Gao Shen really wants to talk about is Zidane's physical fitness and his current state.

"Judging from the Premier League games over the weekend, Diaby will start and Cesc Fabregas will come off the bench. I guess Wenger will arrange for Cesc Fabregas and Gilberto Silva to partner with double midfielders in the Champions League in midweek. "

This Spanish teenager from Barcelona's youth academy can be said to be one of the hottest rookies in world football today. After Wenger sold Vieira, he was supported as the core of Arsenal's midfield.

Therefore, it is not difficult to make an advanced guess at all.

"Zinedin, I want to know, if you continue to play in the attacking midfield position, is there any way to ensure that you can suppress Cesc Fabregas?" Gao Shen asked very seriously, this was related to his formation.

Gilberto Silva is very tall, which also leads to his position is generally very back, rarely forward, but Cesc Fabregas is different, he is more active, and he is younger, can pass and carry energy In control, he was born as a striker, with a strong attacking power in the back, and Gao Shen must ensure that his midfield counterparts can hold Cesc Fabregas.

If Zidane fails, he will consider letting Raul play this position and move Zidane to the left.

But the tactics will definitely have to be rearranged.

Gao Shen asked very seriously, but Zidane did not answer immediately.

Mainly because he just played for nearly 80 minutes in the game against Atletico Madrid, and it was a bit expensive.

But the Frenchman thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't hold back."

If it was before the age of 30, he would definitely be able to give a guarantee, but now, he is indeed a little old, and he can only promise to do his best, but he cannot promise to do it.

"Understood, I believe in you!" Gao Shen said with a slight smile.

This time, Zidane was a little surprised. He felt that Gao Shen was too good to talk.

But from the deep eyes, Zidane read two words, trust.

The relationship between the head coach and the players has always been complicated. It is very difficult to gain trust.

It doesn't mean that you are a superstar~www.wuxiax.com~ You are big enough that everyone will believe you.

Just like Lusenberg, he is not easy to trust others, especially superstars. He believes more in his tactics and what he sees in training and games, which causes him to lack a sense of trust in everyone and be full of everyone. Be wary.

But Gao Shen gave Zidane a distinctly different feeling.

He didn't even make any strong promises, and Gao Shen believed him.

He wanted to know, why?

Hearing Zidane's question, Gao Shen laughed, "First of all, we have a common goal, I want to win, you also want to win, our determination is big enough, this is our common interest; secondly, You're not one to make promises lightly, but every word you say is the result of your careful consideration."

"So, you say, what reason do I have for not trusting you?"

This time, Zidane was at a loss for words.

In fact, he didn't have much contact with Gao Shen. It was the second time to talk like this today, but Gao Shen felt very strange to him. He didn't look like a 25-year-old. Like a sophisticated old fritters.

But Zidane is completely unpredictable. How does Gao Shen want to play Arsenal?

When the French superstar threw this question again, Gao Shen laughed, but this time he did not give a clear answer.

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I think about it."

Zidane didn't believe this sentence.

Gao Shen must have an idea, but it may not be perfect.

Time is running out. Does he really have a way to beat Arsenal and reverse the total score?

If it does, it would be nothing short of a miracle.

Can he really perform miracles?
