Chapter 44： the wind has changed

Although it was past midnight when we returned to Madrid, there were still many Real Madrid fans who came to the airport to pick up the plane.

Before the team set off for London, everyone had lost confidence in this game, but it was precisely because of this that Real Madrid fans were especially excited, even crazy, after the team's reversal.

When the team landed on the chartered plane, more than 3,000 Real Madrid fans had gathered at Madrid Capital Airport, and more and more fans were coming from all directions towards the Capital Airport.

Tonight, the whole of Madrid is in a carnival!

When Gao Shen took the Real Horse off and appeared at the Madrid airport, there was a fierce movement on the scene. All the fans flocked to surround the players who had returned from victory.

"Good job, Real Madrid fighters, you kicked out Real Madrid's tenacious will!"

"It's so good, I'm so proud of you!"

"Come on! You must continue to advance and try to win another Champions League!"

As the head coach of the team, as usual, Gao Shen is at the forefront of the team.

This is also the first time that many Real Madrid fans have seen their head coach face to face. They are all surprised and conflicted.

Surprised because Gao Shen is really too young.

Even standing among the players, Gao Shen looks very tender.

Let alone a veteran like Zidane, even compared with Ramos, Negredo, De La Reid and other Real Madrid teenagers, he looks extraordinarily young.

This is not because of age, but these young players in Real Madrid all have beards, and Ramos has long Argentine hair that looks elegant but is actually very sloppy, plus a white headband , which makes him look several years older than normal.

On the other hand, Gao Shen has a clean face, handsome looks, and a little bookish air. At first glance, he looks like a student who has just walked out of the campus. He clearly knows that he is twenty-five years old, but he can stand with the nineteen-year-old Ramos. , he looked younger.

Can such a person be the head coach of Real Madrid?

This is also the main reason why Real Madrid fans have been bombarding Gao Shen in the past ten days.

However, it was Gao Shen. Under impossible circumstances, he led the team to reverse Arsenal away from home and lead the team to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Even Wenger expressed his disapproval of Gao Shen at Highbury in his post-match press conference. The formation of troops and courage and determination are highly appreciated.

This makes Real Madrid fans very conflicted.

Gao Shen is a hero. It stands to reason that they should support him, but he is so young, he doesn't look like a head coach who can be entrusted with important responsibilities, so how do they choose?

Contradictory, Real Madrid fans give more praise to Real Madrid players.

This is also the first time that Real Madrid players have been treated and praised so highly by Real Madrid fans in such a long time.

You know, from 2004 to the present, two full years have passed, Real Madrid fans have rarely given the team such a high standard of treatment.

And now, they finally felt the enthusiasm of Real Madrid fans and their support for the team again.

This has made many players calm down a lot.

It's not true that local fans are the team's rear.

Whether there is the support of local fans is very important for a team.

Even giants such as Real Madrid and Manchester United can never be without the support of local fans. This is not only for the home attendance rate on the match day, but also an emotional bond, which is commonly known as "root".

Gao Shen’s understanding of this is like a man who is working hard for his career outside. If there is a woman waiting for him at home, he will be more motivated, have direction, and have roots; The prodigal son of the root duckweed is general.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!"

In a luxurious villa on the outskirts of Madrid, Florentino smiled and said to the assistant Redondo in front of him.

Real Madrid won! Martin wins!

But he didn't look sad or lost at all, instead he seemed very happy.

This is obviously not an angry laugh, but a real joy, just like those fans who were picked up at the airport.

Perhaps, many people think that these things that will anger him and slap him in the face, in Florentino's eyes, are not worth mentioning at all.

"Who would have thought that Martin had really hit the jackpot this time, and he was able to point out such a talent." Florentino smiled, as if this talent was named for him by Martin. the same.

"Who said no? Before the game, under the pressure of public opinion, he led the team to beat Arsenal."

After a pause, Redondo said: "I got news that tomorrow Spain, Europe, and even some mainstream newspapers in the world will report on this game, and public opinion will reverse, especially in Spain, where many media have scolded it before. He is now said to be struggling with how to change his tone."

"Haha." Florentino couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was obvious that he was really happy.

Let these uncrowned kings change their tone, this is what he has been trying to do in the past two years, but has not been able to do it.

Unexpectedly, it was actually done by a twenty-five-year-old child.

He is really happy.

"Can they really put down their bodies and exaggerate?" Florentino knew these media too well, and he was a little skeptical.

"As far as I know, Alfredo, Della Morena and others are full of praise for the game of Gao Shen, I guess they will praise it badly, other reporters may not be, but they will definitely not be like this again. It used to be."

Florentino nodded. A big guy like Alfredo, the editor-in-chief of Aspen, stands at a completely different height from other media reporters. He really likes to write, and he really likes football. , likes Real Madrid, so he is all about things.

Precisely because of this, he has a lot of readers. Countless fans are chasing his columns and reading, and he has been writing continuously for decades, and his influence among fans is very large.

At the level of Alfredo and de la Morena, they only need to talk about the matter and express their thoughts. Even if they prove wrong afterwards, they apologize, and then nothing will happen.

"Should Martin consider giving him a contract now?" Florentino asked.

Redondo nodded, "As soon as I got the news, Martin had called Butragueno when he was still in London. It is said that he had just finished talking with Gao Shen before the call."

Florentino smiled again. He really felt that Gao Shen was becoming more and more interesting.

It's really rare to see such an interesting young man these days.

"You call Butragueno and tell him that the contract will be better. I'm looking forward to what Gao Shen can bring to Real Madrid." Florentino ordered.

"Martin means that the contract is given until the end of this season."

"It's normal. It's almost mid-March. Can we still give a short-term contract? It's too petty!"

Redondo looked at his boss deeply and asked tentatively, "Boss, you seem to appreciate him very much."

Florentino raised his head, glanced at his assistant, and said with a smile: "Manuel, do you know why you have been by my side for so many years, but I never let you out?"

The expression on Redondo's face froze, and he nodded, "Yes, boss, you told me before."

"You are very hardworking, attentive, and diligent. You can do things and deal with all aspects of things. You are a rare talent, but you lack some of the qualities that leaders must have, such as courage, courage and cunning."

"Whether it's in a company or a club, in order to get things done, you have to be able to get things done, and you have to be able to get things done. Even if I am in my position, I am still responsible to the top and the bottom, and I can't do things. It’s not enough to just do things, you have to pay attention to some skills and methods when necessary, and even take risks.”

"It's like Gao Shen, he did a good job this time. Even when facing Arsenal, he didn't reuse the Brazilian gang. It is estimated that this is what makes Martin satisfied with him. Judging from the team's feedback , he can also hold the locker room, which proves that he is indeed a person who can do things and knows how to do things."

Redondo is silent. He has followed Florentino for many years, and he is loyal. Seeing that Florentino has promoted many people, it is impossible to say that he has nothing in his heart, but he also knows some of his own problems. , just can't be changed.

To put it bluntly, he is too honest, he only does things and doesn't know anything else.

On the contrary, it is like Gao Shen, others don’t know, Redondo knows it. During this time, Gao Shen has done too many things and almost killed himself several times, but in the end he even survived and led the team to defeat With Arsenal and a firm foothold in Real Madrid On this point, Redondo still recognizes it.

"Boss, how long do you think he can stay in the handsome position?" Redondo asked suddenly.

Florentino could hear that the assistant was somewhat competitive and unconvinced, but he smiled and pretended not to know.

As a leader, he doesn't mind at all, and is even happy to see the people under him have such a sense of competition.

"Competitive sports will always rely on performance. Martin can now give him a contract, and he can fire him at any time. At most, he will pay him a little liquidated damages. It is not Martin's money. He will not feel distressed."

After a pause, Florentino shook his head again and said: "From taking office to now, he has been pushed around and seems to be in trouble, but at least he has a clear goal and direction, but now, Beating Arsenal, the team made it to the quarter-finals, the goal was achieved, and everyone was relieved."

"Real Madrid today looks beautiful, but in fact, the situation is not much better than before, because the previous crisis was visible, and the current crisis is invisible, you don't know when and where he will be, sudden appearance."

"Especially the group of players in the locker room, they have achieved their goals. What should we do next?"

"The league is ten points behind Barcelona, ​​and it is impossible to catch up. Although the Champions League has reached the quarter-finals, with the current situation of Real Madrid, it is unlikely that they want to hit the championship or even reach the semi-finals."

"When a team suddenly loses its goal and direction, it's very scary, and the test of depth has just begun."

Redondo listened silently, he was still a little unconvinced just now, but now he suddenly feels a little more sympathetic.

Real Madrid has been corrupted to such an extent, can he be able to move it?
