Chapter 55： Real Madrid is over!

Gao Shen returned to Madrid to preside over the afternoon training session and received a call from Buenaventura when he returned home that night.

The future master of physical fitness said that he accepted the invitations of Gao Shen and Real Madrid. Cadiz had persuaded him and agreed that he would resign, but Real Madrid needed to pay a small compensation.

Of course, Gao Shen was fine, and immediately agreed on behalf of Real Madrid.

Buenaventura said that he will prepare a training plan overnight and fly to Madrid early tomorrow morning. After signing the contract with Valdebebas, he can immediately start working.

Sitting down and doing what he says, Buenaventura's style is very eloquent.

After hanging up, Gao Shen first called Butragueno to tell him about his progress.

Regarding the poaching of Buenaventura, Gao Shen had reported to Butragueno before he went to Cadiz. Vulture had also heard of this person. Seeing that Gao Shen was so determined and concerned, he immediately had no opinion.

Now that Gao Shen has negotiated with Buenaventura, Butragueno has no objection, saying that he will call the management of Cadiz and drive out a contract overnight to let Buenaventura Ra was able to get to work tomorrow.

After hanging up Butragueno, Gao Shen called Carlo again and told him the good news.

Then there were Raul, Guti, Zidane, Beckham and others, and Gao Shen all made calls one after another.

This is not a show of weakness, but a show of respect.

These players are the backbone of the team, and they are also the core of Real Madrid's next combat effectiveness, and they are the cornerstones of stabilizing the locker room. Gao Shen must be appeased no matter what, so the appointment of Buenaventura is such a big thing, Gao Shen must be Talk to them ahead of time to prepare them mentally.

Gao Shen told them about hiring a physical fitness coach before, and now that they are here, they naturally expressed their full cooperation.

Training will definitely be harder than before, but now the team has won three consecutive victories, especially this week, when Barcelona lost the away game, Real Madrid successfully shortened the points gap, so that everyone can see hope.

Where there is hope, there is motivation.

Next is Fernando Lucas, he has a car, and Gao Shen asked him to pick him up at the airport tomorrow morning.

In the end, after thinking deeply, he called Maquida and told him about it.

Gao Shen's dissatisfaction with the team's low level of daily training has been discussed in the coaching staff before. He also asked the coaching staff to come up with a plan, but it didn't work because no one wanted to help Gao Shen offend others.

After that, Gao Shen said that he would poach people from outside, but everyone didn't respond. After all, it's already March, and I want to poach a physical coach who can come to Real Madrid and has the ability at the same time. How can it be so easy?

Who would have thought that Gao Shen actually dug it up.

It’s true that Cadiz is a newly-promoted horse, and he is not well-known in La Liga. He is a favorite for relegation this season. Buenaventura is somewhat famous in the Spanish coaching circle, and more is brought by coaching training courses.

In general, the current Buenaventura is not well-known, and it does not look like the kind of coach that Gao Shen expected, who can solve Real Madrid's physical dilemma in a short period of time. Take the opportunity to go to Royal Malay to gild and brush your resume.

Maqueda was on the phone and thought the same at first, so he didn't care, didn't he just have one more subordinate?

But when Gao Shen mentioned that the team's physical training, targeted training for players, and even injury recovery, diet and other aspects should be handed over to Buenaventura, Maqueda panicked. .

The first reaction of the Real Madrid assistant coach was that Gao Shen was cutting his power.

Why?

Because he fought against Gao Shen before, and even made Gao Shen not come to the stage on the spot, but now his revenge is coming.

But Gao Shen didn't give him any time to react, and hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Gao Shen's tone from beginning to end is notification, not consultation or negotiation, which is equivalent to telling Maqueda, whether you agree or not, I did it anyway, you either accept it or get out.

Without Buenaventura, Gao Shen might have hesitated, but now that Buenaventura is here, Gao Shen doesn't care whether Maqueda stays or not.

In fact, Gao Shen also concluded that Maqueda could not resign.

Really want to quit, after the previous fallout, he won't give in.

……

Most of the Real Madrid players, especially the Brazilian gang led by Ronaldo and Carlos, learned that the club had hired a fitness coach before the training session.

The name is not very famous, saying that he used to work in Cadiz and was a teacher of the Spanish coach training class.

This made Ronaldo and Carlos extremely annoyed.

Because they didn't even get any notification before. On the other hand, Raul, Beckham and others obviously received the news in advance, and even knew who the other party was.

Everyone knows that the current Brazilian gang has fallen out of favor in the Real Madrid locker room. Even Ronaldo and Carlos have been completely marginalized, and they have long been unable to make waves.

Before training, Gao Shen brought Buenaventura to the locker room to meet all the players.

Maqueda and the coaching staff were all present, which was considered a platform for Buenaventura.

This seems very formal, but it tells everyone in the simplest and most direct way that this matter has been decided!

Raul, Guti and Beckham have all reached consensus with Gao Shen and expressed their welcome to Buenaventura on the spot. Gao Shen also welcomed the new coach on behalf of Zidane.

In other words, the locker room bosses all knew and agreed in advance.

This time, not only Ronaldo and Carlos were surprised and powerless, but even Buenaventura was surprised.

He originally thought that he would encounter some obstacles and troubles after taking office, especially the resistance from players.

But he didn't expect that Gao Shen would pave the way for him so quickly, eliminating the biggest hidden dangers for him.

This made him have to re-understand the influence of Gao Shen in the Real Madrid dressing room.

After all, it's only 12 days since I took office!

In front of people, Gao Shen gave Buenaventura enough face and gave him enough authority, but after leaving the locker room, on the way back to the coach's office, Gao Shen had to warn him carefully.

"Our players are special. On the one hand, they are not young, and on the other hand, they have a very high prestige in world football, so sometimes, when dealing with certain things, we have to think more about methods and methods, and at the same time, we must Consider the actual situation."

Gao Shen mentioned this to Buenaventura on the phone last night.

Real Madrid now has many aging players, such as Zidane, Salgado, Carlos and Ronaldo, etc.

When formulating training, it is necessary to improve the training level, but it must also take into account their actual situation.

Especially old patients like Ronaldo and Woodgate must be considered as appropriate.

"Don't worry, I'm just formulating a preliminary training plan based on our team's schedule. Next, I will learn more about the actual situation and develop a targeted training plan for each player, as well as for the team. different tactics and player positioning, and develop different training plans for players in different roles.”

Buenaventura's training should not only take into account the entire team, but also the actual situation of the players, as well as the regional cooperation of the players on the court, but these will take some time to progress slowly.

"The Champions League quarter-finals are about to be drawn. There is still about half a month before the first round of the quarter-finals. Starting from the weekend, we will play three rounds of the league in a week, which is also crucial. Your task is very important. Heavy."

Buenaventura was in his forties, and he wasn't used to accepting a 25-year-old young leader, but Gao Shen gave him the feeling of being very mature, without the immaturity of a young man at all. Everything is a matter of course.

This kind of weird feeling made it hard for him to think about it in retrospect.

But standing in Valdebebas, all he longed for was his own future.

Apart from the time he coached the Argentine national team, his coaching career has always been in Cadiz. This season is the first time he has entered La Liga. Now he has jumped from La Liga to coach a giant like Real Madrid. He cherishes it very much. This chance.

More importantly, from all the details, he could feel Gao Shen's heart-to-heart trust in him.

This gave him an urge to flex his muscles and raise his eyebrows.

…………

…………

The fact that Buenaventura joined the Real Madrid coaching staff was only mentioned in the media.

No one will pay attention to the fact that the Spanish physical fitness coach entered Real Madrid and the changes it will bring to Real Madrid.

All are more concerned about superstars, and the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the La Liga standings has narrowed.

And Thursday's Champions League quarter-final draw at UEFA headquarters.

On Wednesday, after all the matches in the Champions League round of 16, the top eight teams were also freshly released.

A total of three teams in La Liga have reached the quarter-finals, namely Real Madrid, Barcelona and Villarreal. There are also three teams in Serie A, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, as well as Benfica from the Portuguese Super League. And Lyon from Ligue 1.

According to the quarter-finals drawing rules, it is not impossible for all teams to randomly draw lots, fight against the same country, or even stage the final in advance.

Real Madrid's signing luck has not been very good. In addition, the team did not play well in the group stage, so last season's round of 16 encountered the tyrannical Juventus, and this season it encountered Arsenal.

Now, after finally reversing Arsenal and reaching the quarter-finals, they avoided the weaker Benfica in the draw and met Juventus led by Capello.

In the Champions League round of 16 last season, Real Madrid lost to Juventus.

And today's Juventus, the overall strength is stronger than last season.

How strong is it?

Needless to say, coach Capello, the stars in the team include Buffon, Cannavaro, Zebina, Thuram, Chiellini, Robert Kovac, Zambrotta, Billindelli, Vieira, Emerson, Tacchinati, Camoranesi, Nedved, Marchisio, Trezeguet, Piero, Ibrahimovic, Mutu, Mi Kohli, Sarayata...

Count how powerful this lineup is?

So much so that when the lottery results came out, the whole world sang a sad song to Real Madrid.

Among the winning odds of the three major bookmakers, Real Madrid plummeted and fell directly to the bottom of the quarter-finals.

All the media and fans agree that Real Madrid is over!
