Chapter 33： Can't play this game!

Years make people grow old!

When I saw Beckham, I felt even more profound.

Zidane was in 1972, and Beckham was in 1975. The difference between the two is three years. However, unlike Zidane, who did not dare to make a solemn promise when faced with profound problems, Beckham did not dare to make a solemn promise. Without hesitation, he said that he could meet the high requirements.

And, the England midfielder looked scrappy and ready to try.

Such a mental outlook made Gao Shen very happy.

If Real Madrid's superstars can have the state and desire to win like Beckham, then things will be simple, and Real Madrid will not be reduced to the current situation.

Beckham also quickly revealed the source of his motivation.

"This is the first time I have played in England since I joined Real Madrid in 2003."

Gao Shen was stunned for a moment, he really didn't notice this.

Seeing what Beckham said so well, needless to say, it must not be wrong.

That said, in the past three years, Real Madrid have never met a Premier League team. No wonder they lost 0-1 to Arsenal at the Bernabeu in the first leg. With the current situation of Real Madrid, it is really a toilet to meet a Premier League team. Light up the lights, court death.

As a player from Manchester United, Beckham knows his arch-rival Arsenal very well, but Arsenal in recent years has been very different from before, especially with the departure of a number of players such as Vieira, Arsenal are With technical and youthful reforms, the style of playing has also changed.

Let's put it this way, before the high-level crossing, many people's impression of Wenger was that he was technical, good at youth training and digging rookies. This is actually wrong, or it is not comprehensive.

Wenger used to spend a lot of money to buy people, but later he had to shrink his clothes and diet in order to build a new stadium, and then he was forced to pay attention to youth training and tap rookies. As for the technical flow, this is not comprehensive, because for a period of time, Arsenal are the dirtiest team in the Premier League.

Later, after Vieira left the team, weren't Arsenal players often violated, and accidents such as broken legs occurred frequently?

Many people say that this is Wenger's team repaying the debt of previous grievances.

When Gao Shen asked Beckham about his thoughts against Arsenal, the England midfielder mentioned the Bernabeu battle.

This game has not been experienced personally, but he has seen the video. From the beginning of the game, Arsenal launched a violent attack on Real Madrid. Through the fast-paced pressing that Premier League teams are good at, Real Madrid was forced to the left and right, and it was very embarrassing. Seriously disrupted Real Madrid's game rhythm and deployment.

Carlo himself also said that in the Bernabeu battle, Arsenal's frantic pressing at the opening stage made Real Madrid very uncomfortable.

"I think we need to change the style of the team, learn from Arsenal's game attitude, show our courage and determination, stop playing slowly, and we can't win at Highbury." Beckham suggested.

Gao Shen kept listening, nodding incessantly. After Beckham finished speaking, he clapped his hands vigorously, "That's great, you said what I wanted to say and do."

After a pause, Gao Shen's conversation changed, "But you also know the current situation of the team and the bad situation after the first round defeat. I have to make trade-offs, trade-offs, and even compromise. However, what you said, gave I am very helpful and confident."

Beckham was also happy.

He is in a better situation than Woodgate, but also suffers from communication problems.

But now, not only can Gao Shen communicate with him in fluent English, but the two have many common goals and interests, which makes Beckham more and more pleasing to Gao Shen, and even occasionally thinks, if he can continue to be Real Madrid Head coach, that's not bad either.

"All in all, don't worry, this is the most important game of my Real Madrid career and I can guarantee that I will definitely give my best and do everything I can to help the team win because I dream of wearing The Real Madrid jersey is back in England and I use the game to show them how good I am."

It could be heard that Beckham was still angry.

In 2003, he left Manchester United in a very bad way, and in the past three years, it happened to be an embarrassing period when Real Madrid got nothing, so many people are more and more sure that it is the guy with a silver wax-head gun like Beckham who is the drag. Real Madrid.

He is also eager to prove himself!

"Very good, with your words, I am relieved." Gao Shen smiled.

……

……

In addition to Raul, Zidane and Beckham, Gao Shen also communicated with several important players in the team one by one.

Such as Graveson, Elgra, Woodgate, Casillas and others.

In addition to asking about their current situation and their prospects for the game, he also focused on some of their problems against Atletico Madrid.

The coach's tactics are all tailored for the players. The player's feeling on the court, whether they are comfortable or not, also has important guiding significance for the coach's formation, so Gao Shen also attaches great importance to this.

The overall framework remains the same, but some details need to be adjusted. Gao Shen recorded these one by one, and then handed it over to Maqueda, and focused on arranging improvements during training.

The work took two days.

In the past two days, Gao Shen and all the players in the team, except for the Brazilian players such as Ronaldo and Carlos, have chatted again, and the chat is more in-depth than before.

After the training, he didn't go to Carlo to learn the scriptures, but went home and hid in the tactical library after dinner.

For Carlo, Gao Shen is very respectful, but I have to say that many of Carlo's ideas and concepts are not in line with him.

To put it bluntly, Carlo is conservative and steady, while Gao Shen is more radical.

It was the case with the Brazilian gang, and it was the same against Arsenal.

In the tactical library, Gao Shen is mostly studying some of the works of Benitez and Ferguson, focusing on some strategic ideas, formation and on-the-spot command before and after their battle with Wenger, especially targeted defense.

I have to say that some arrangements of these two tacticians really benefited Gao Shen a lot.

…

While Gao Shen was preparing silently, Real Madrid was also carrying out the training plan in an orderly manner.

Since Gaoshen canceled the half-day vacation, the team can take a training session for targeted drills.

This class was arranged by Gao Shen on the day before the competition. It can be said to be quite precious. Every minute counts.

At the same time, before the last targeted training session, Gao Shen specially arranged a tactical meeting. He wanted to explain the targeted tactics in the game against Arsenal, so that every player knew that he had to play in the game. what to do and why.

After the meeting, practice again and again in the afternoon training class. Gao Shen believes that this will be more effective.

After training, Real Madrid will leave for London collectively, and there will be a tactical meeting the next morning.

From playing Atlético to playing against Arsenal, not only the coaching staff of Real Madrid, but everyone in the team seems to be winding up the clockwork, spinning continuously, and everyone is working towards the same goal. , everyone is very engaged and focused.

Everyone knows that if the team cannot win Arsenal at Highbury, it will stop in the round of 16 for two consecutive seasons.

For Real Madrid, this is unacceptable no matter what.

More importantly, Gao Shen and the local gang headed by Raul, Zidane, Beckham, Gravesen and others have reached a consensus early on, everyone is working hard for this game, others naturally Also keep up.

The outside world does not know what Real Madrid is doing, but they know that the contradiction between Gao Shen and the Brazilian Gang has not been alleviated.

Chairman Martin was interviewed by the media and came forward in person, hoping to ease the conflict and let Ronaldo return to the main force, but Gao Shen did not accept the move, nor did he accept any interviews.

The decisive battle was imminent, and the storm was about to come, and everyone felt a strong murderous aura.

And everyone is guessing, what kind of tactics will Gao Shen take in Highbury?

Alfredo, the editor-in-chief of Aspen newspaper, said in his column that Real Madrid had no choice but to attack, but Arsenal must also plan their tactics around this point. Real Madrid's attack is equivalent to stepping directly into Wenzhou. Grid's trap.

How to kick?

Can't kick!

Can't attack, can you defend?

No, because Real Madrid must score goals if they want to advance.

Not only Alfredo, but even former Real Madrid technical director Sacchi revealed in a telephone interview with Marca that Real Madrid's chances of winning this game are very slim, because Wenger and Arsenal are one of the strongest teams in Europe today. one.

There are many people who have appealed, hoping that Real Madrid can reuse the Brazilian gang, especially Ronaldo and Carlos. UU reading

Who is more reliable than Ronaldo at this critical moment when it is necessary to attack? More impact than Carlos?

But all of this is like a sinking sea, being blocked from Valdebebas.

There was a raging crowd outside, and there were all kinds of arguments. There was an overwhelming trend. The call for the reuse of Ronaldo filled the front-page headlines of major Spanish newspapers, especially after the new chairman Martin made an appeal.

Even worse, Wenger also came forward at this time and was interviewed by the British media.

The head coach of Arsenal said that although the team had an advantage in the first round, the second round was still not optimistic. Real Madrid is still the most attacking team on the planet, especially Ronaldo.

"The away goal in the first leg looks like an advantage, but it's nothing, it just makes Real Madrid go all out to attack, and they have the best attacker in the world, Ronaldo, and no team's defense can say they can. To stop Ronaldo from scoring, neither can we."

"So, against Real Madrid, we have to do a good job of defense, but we've never been an expert in defending, so we need to do a good job of defending and let the team achieve a balance."

When the reporter asked about the player in the Real Madrid team that Wenger feared the most, the Arsenal coach chose Ronaldo without hesitation. He firmly believed that Ronaldo would and should appear at Highbury Stadium.

Once Wenger's visit was published in the newspapers, it sparked heated discussions again, especially when it reached Spain, where the Spanish media called for Ronaldo's comeback even more.

The first leg was a 0-1 loss at home. What reason is there not to attack in the second leg away?

Since we are going to attack, what reason is there not to use Ronaldo?
