Starting with Real Madrid

Chapter 80: The most classic reversal in history

Gao Shen can feel the change in the attitude of Real Madrid fans towards him from some details.

For example, at the Capital Airport last night, many people were shouting his name.

Also, like this morning, in the freshly released major newspapers, more of his name began to appear, and there were even special reports about him, and all of them were positive reports.

Even when he went out in the morning to buy breakfast, buy a newspaper, and ride a bicycle to Valdebebas, he met Real Madrid fans, many of whom recognized him, and many even took the initiative to say hello to him.

When he arrived at Valdebebas, the fans who came early to watch the team's open training recognized him from a distance and blocked him outside the small door next to him. Hold like a star.

All of these make Gao Shen feel more happy.

Humans, who can truly be flattered and humiliated?

A lot of times, the composure in front of people is just pretended, and the heart is actually happy, and no one can be exempted from it.

After finally getting rid of the enthusiastic fans, after entering Valdebebas, Gao Shen saw the smiling security captain head-on. He can be regarded as witnessing the whole process of Gao Shen's transformation from a street rat to the current Real Madrid hero.

"Being a star is not fun at all." Gao Shen pretended to be like that, complained to the security captain, and pushed his bicycle away.

Leaving the security captain behind, he muttered in his heart: Isn't it fun? Look at how happy you are!

Looking at the fans outside the gate again, there were many young and beautiful female fans who were chasing after Gao Shen for a photo autograph just now.

Young is good!

Back then, when I was young, I was also very handsome, and there were so many girls who liked me. At that time, I...

……

Gao Shen came to the coach's office in the training building.

As usual, there are three documents prepared for him by the team doctor, Buenaventura and Lucas on his desk at this moment, namely the player's physical report, physical fitness report and game analysis report.

After the players arrive at the training base, the team doctors and Buenaventura will also follow the players.

These are the basis for Gao Shen and the coaching staff to formulate training plans and game arrangements, especially for the injured.

Therefore, it is customary for the injured to report to the team one hour in advance.

Gao Shen read several reports, Real Madrid's situation is not bad at present, and the injury is well controlled.

Woodgate is an old patient, and Gao Shen has never dared to use him in transition, giving him a lot of rest time, and although the pressure of the game is very high, the pressure of internal competition is not large. Coupled with the care of the team doctor, Gao Shen has good communication with him. As a result, Woodgate has no major injuries.

But Gao Shen didn't dare to be careless about it.

Real Madrid now have three central defenders. If Woodgate falls, he will be kicked ass.

And de la Reid.

The Real Madrid teenager has completely gained a firm foothold under Gao Shen, but everyone felt very strange that Gao Shen asked De La Reid to have a heart check every week.

Obviously not sick, why do you still do it?

Dela Redd also asked Gao Shen in private, but Gao Shen really couldn't find a suitable reason, so he could only put on an air of domineering president and answered him with three words, "I'm happy!"

Fortunately, this inspection didn't waste much time. Dela Redd respected Gao Shen more and more, of course, he could only obey.

The team will play Juventus next Wednesday night, and this game is also crucial.

After a full calculation, Real Madrid only has three days to rest. This time, Gao Shen is not planning to take a holiday. He must hurry up and organize a targeted attack drill. The key point is to practice how to break the Juventus goal at the Bernabeu.

Buenaventura's report pointed out that the player's consumption is very large, and the next three days need to be well rested.

Even so, he can't guarantee that the team can face Juventus in the best state, he can only do his best.

Gao Shen also understands this.

Lucas recently ran both sides of the UK and Spain. While studying data analysis, he was still working at Real Madrid. A data report every day has become his extracurricular homework.

But in today's report, in addition to some data analysis of last night's game and the statistics of players' mistakes, there is also a judgment on the future situation and a description of the team's current situation.

This morning, Gao Shen read Cruyff's column in the newspaper that there has never been a team in the history of La Liga that has been able to reverse a successful comeback from a ten-point deficit, so he concluded that Real Madrid would not succeed.

This is not without foundation.

According to this report by Lucas, the most disparate case of winning the championship in La Liga history was in the 1998-1999 season. At that time, the chairman of Barcelona was Nunes, and Gaspart was still the greatest vice-chairman of Barcelona. Laporta is still working as his lawyer, and the head coach is Van Gaal, whom Cruyff is reluctant to mention.

In the 14th round of La Liga, Barcelona trailed the leader Real Mallorca by nine points, but in the following 24 rounds, Barcelona chased all the way, creating an impressive record of 17 wins, 3 draws and one loss in the 20 rounds. , reversing the championship, and achieving the most disparate case of reversing the championship in the history of La Liga.

But in fact, this case is quite watery.

why?

Because after the end of the season, Real Mallorca, the leader at the time, only ranked third in La Liga, while Real Madrid, which was a little competitive to Barcelona, ​​was only six points ahead of Barcelona at most.

Everyone can see that a team like Real Mallorca is definitely inferior to Barcelona and Real Madrid in terms of staying power.

In contrast, the other case given in the Lucas report is more recent and more violent.

That is Valencia under Benitez.

In the 2003-04 season, Valencia fell behind Real Madrid by as many as eight points after the twenty-sixth round. , Another two-game winning streak, and finally locked the league championship two rounds ahead of schedule.

But in that season, Valencia has always been one of the most competitive teams in La Liga.

In the fifth round, the Bat Legion beat Super Laco and Real Madrid to the top. Although they were kicked down in the eighth round, Valencia reached the top twice in the tenth and thirteenth rounds. In the ninth and twentieth rounds, they also became villagers again.

It can be said that the Bat Legion was still very strong that season.

But things are markedly different for Real Madrid this season.

Although in the ninth and tenth rounds, Real Madrid was tied with Osasuna for the first time, but the results have not been satisfactory, especially in the eighteenth round, the ranking fell to the sixth in the league, behind Barcelona by as much as 13 points. many.

When Gao Shen took over, he was still ten points behind Barcelona.

In terms of the league environment, the sophisticated Real Madrid is far inferior to Van Gaal's Barcelona, ​​and in terms of overall competitiveness, Real Madrid is not as good as Benitez's Valencia.

It can be said that in terms of how bad it is, this sophisticated Real Madrid is worse than Van Gaal's Barcelona and Benitez's Valencia.

If you add that Gao Shen is Real Madrid's third head coach this season, the team has experienced infighting among superstars, gang struggles in the locker room, changes in chairman and high-level turmoil, and Gao Shen took office at the age of 25.

It can definitely be said that so far this season, Real Madrid's experience has been a classic.

But it is not enough to reverse Barcelona in the standings.

……

"How is it? Do you feel the pressure on your shoulders is heavier?"

While looking at the report and thinking deeply, Lucas walked in quietly.

Behind him was Buenaventura.

"It's really difficult." Gao Shen sighed heavily, "However, to get to this point, you have to do your best and keep pushing forward, otherwise, all your hard work and efforts in the past will be in vain. already."

Lucas and Buenaventura looked at each other, and both saw admiration in each other's eyes.

Especially Buenaventura.

Although it was the first cooperation, he saw a lot of bright spots from Gao Shen, which left a deep impression on him.

"To be honest, Fernando, I don't think the examples you gave are good enough." Gao Shen clicked his tongue critically and handed the analysis report to Lucas.

"why?"

"I missed one of the most classic and most infectious."

Lucas frowned, unable to remember.

Buenaventura had a flash of inspiration on the side and blurted out: "Manchester United in the 1995-1996 season!"

"That's right!" Gao Shen clapped his hands vigorously, and the look in Buenaventura's eyes changed a bit. The hero saw the same thing.

"Many people misrepresented, but Manchester United are not 12 points behind Newcastle."

Not only was Lucas surprised, even Buenaventura was a little surprised.

"After half the Premier League, Newcastle scored 45 points, Manchester United were second with 35 points, ten points behind, but in the 20th round ~www.wuxiax.com~ Manchester United at home with Cole and Keane The goal was to beat Newcastle 2-0 with seven points, and in the twenty-first round, Manchester United played one more game and managed to catch up to four points in the twenty-first round."

"But it's a pity that, just when it looked like it was going to rush past, Manchester United first lost to Tottenham Hotspur 1-4 on the road, and drew with Aston Villa 0-0 at home. All at once dropped to third, nine points behind Newcastle and one more game than the Magpies."

The 12 points that many people misrepresented were actually because Newcastle played one less game.

Gao Shen was in the tactical library last night, carefully studying Ferguson's thrilling past. He felt the various things that Ferguson encountered in this experience and his various coping strategies.

Finally came to a conclusion.

That is the real Manchester United's reversal of Newcastle, which is far more difficult and legendary than chasing twelve points from outside rumors.

Why?

Because Ferguson's team was only four points short of catch up at one point, but they suffered a blow to the head, and the gap was widened again. If it were someone else, the other team would have collapsed long ago.

But Ferguson and Manchester United did not.

Not only did it not, but the team regrouped and learned the lessons from the previous experience. In the second pursuit of Newcastle, they reversed their opponents in one go and climbed to the top of the championship.

When Gao Shen saw this episode, he wondered in his heart, does Real Madrid at this moment look like Manchester United when they approached Newcastle for the first time?

It is also the same as defeating the opponent in direct dialogue, the same is the same as the one-shot to bring the score closer, the same morale is like a rainbow, and the victory is in hand...

Right now, just like that moment.
