Chapter 94： The Secret of 7 Winning Streak

Barcelona's draw is like a bomb, and huge waves have exploded in Spanish football and even European football.

The quasi-La Liga champion who was already a sure thing, suddenly had twists and turns, who would have thought?

In Spain, even the Catalan media are questioning their souls, what happened to Rijkaard's team recently? What went wrong?

The Daily Sports Daily used two pages to analyze the game and analyze the crux of Barcelona's draw by Santander.

Finally came to a very depressing and helpless conclusion: Ronaldinho.

Real Madrid was chasing it fiercely behind. Barcelona actually attached great importance to this game, or should be said, attached importance to every next game, for fear that Real Madrid would be reversed by accident.

Rijkaard also did his best in this game, just letting Ronaldinho, who was fighting in a row, rest. All the others were playing in the main lineup, and the central defender let the teenager Rodri and Puyol partner.

But it is such a main lineup. After losing Ronaldinho, it suddenly became impossible to win.

The possession rate has reached an astonishing 80%, which is almost a huge advantage. However, Barcelona has only ten shots on goal, three shots on target, and two goals.

Athletic Santander, who are playing at home, only has about 20% of the ball possession rate, but they created eight shots, three shots on target, and two goals. In terms of offensive statistics, they are on par with Barcelona.

Santander head coach Manolo Preciado admitted at the post-match press conference that he was not surprised that the team was able to draw with Barcelona at home. He even thought that if the team could do better , fully capable of defeating Barcelona.

The head coach, who is on the verge of being dismissed, made no secret that he gained valuable experience in defending Barcelona from the national derby at Camp Nou, "If you look at the process, two to one would be a more reasonable result. , we won at home."

Preciado's words attracted a lot of media attention.

Although the head coach of Santander has not done well this season and has no outstanding resume in the past, but a 59-year-old man who has played football for decades is by no means mediocre to become the head coach of Santander. .

Is the battle at Camp Nou really so worth learning?

According to the analysis of the Daily Sports Daily, Santander is almost replicating Real Madrid's four-two-three-one tactics, especially the back line, cutting Barcelona's frontcourt trident, forcing Barcelona's frontcourt players into their own battles. situation.

Losing Ronaldinho, Barcelona also lost the attacking core of the frontcourt. Larson, Eto'o and Giuli are more fighting alone. After Deco and Iniesta fought continuously, their bodies are also very good. exhausted.

The Daily Sports Daily said that this season, Ronaldinho has missed six games. Barcelona's results are two wins, two draws and two losses. This report card is definitely unqualified for the La Liga leaders. Highlights the importance of Ronaldinho to Barcelona.

But the Brazilian star is also a human being and needs to be rotated and rested.

Sports Daily even used Real Madrid as a comparison.

It is also a two-line battle, and it is also a challenge to the championship, but in this home game against Real Sociedad, Gao Shen rotated most of the players, but still defeated Real Sociedad 1-0 at home.

The mouthpiece of Barcelona did not forget to connote a wave of profound conservatism, because since he took charge of Real Madrid, he has played more than a dozen games. Except for the first game against Atletico Madrid, which was 3-0, most of the games only scored one goal.

This is a very embarrassing statistic, especially for the head coach of Real Madrid, who represents offensive football.

But from another point of view, Gao Shen’s rotation did a good job, especially at the critical moment, he decisively used Brazilian players, whether it was Ronaldo who came back early, or Baptista and Robini who started this round. Ao and Cicinho both showed a very good level, and they continued their momentum for Real Madrid.

The Daily Sports said that Rijkaard and his team should think about how to go further on the two fronts of La Liga and the Champions League.

Because next, in the Champions League semi-final, Barcelona will meet Villarreal led by Pellegrini.

Real Madrid met AC Milan, Barcelona met Villarreal, and there were three La Liga teams in the Champions League semi-finals. This is certainly a signal of the strength of La Liga, but it also sounded the alarm for Barcelona.

The Yellow Submarine has always been a pain in the **** for Barcelona.

...

Barcelona's tie made many media who had questioned profound and conservative media suddenly become difficult to speak.

Call him conservative, that is indeed conservative, always one to zero.

But when it comes to performance, Gao Shen is playing steadily, scoring three points in every game, especially defense.

Since he took over as the head coach of Real Madrid, he has conceded seven consecutive rounds in La Liga. This improvement in the level of defense is visible to the naked eye.

Some people even say that Real Madrid got so many points by relying on defense.

In any case, whether conservative or defensive, Real Madrid is catching up.

From lagging behind by ten points to tying up now, it’s just that the results of the match are at a disadvantage. With six games remaining in the league, who would dare to assert that Real Madrid will not have a chance to reverse?

Who can guarantee that Barcelona will not make mistakes again?

As a result, the wind of Spanish public opinion began to change.

More and more media began to tout Real Madrid's defensive level and the efforts of Real Madrid's players.

For example, a Madrid media reported in the newspaper that the Real Madrid star did not take a vacation after playing Juventus, but devoted himself to the new round of preparations non-stop.

According to the convention of the Galaxy Battleship period, the team should take a day off after playing Juventus. Even if the competition is tight, they should take a half-day off so that the stars can rest well.

"It's said to be a break, but in fact everyone knows that this is the time the club has set aside for the stars to earn extra money."

In the past few years, whenever the team is off, there will be news and reports of the stars attending business events.

When the team's performance is good, the fans talk about it with relish; when the team's performance is not satisfactory, this kind of business mistakes has been criticized and has become the object of criticism from fans and the media.

But no matter what, Real Madrid will not cancel the team's vacation.

In the past, hard-line coaches such as Queiroz and Luisenberg have repeatedly fallen out with their stars for canceling vacations.

The most serious one is that the coaching staff, captain Raul and the local players have all agreed, but the stars still protested and got the support of the management. The reason is not complicated. Some of the business activities of the stars are actually arranged by the club. of.

So, in a way, canceling a star's vacation is tantamount to cutting back on their income.

There is a saying throughout the ages: cutting people's fortunes is like killing one's parents.

However, during Gao Shen's coaching, the team's vacation was canceled many times, but there was not even a single controversy.

The media even published photos of Raul, Ronaldo, Zidane and Beckham on the training ground wearing vests after playing Juventus to prove the transformation of Real Madrid stars.

"We don't know what kind of magic Gao Shen has to make these rebellious superstars obey orders, but we can feel that Real Madrid has become more and more normal under Gao Shen's coaching."

"This is the secret behind Real Madrid's seven-game winning streak!"

...

After Real Madrid tied Barcelona, ​​Gao Shen still did not attend the post-match press conference.

He finally fulfilled his promise and let Maqueda show his face in front of the media.

This made the media reporters at the scene very dissatisfied, because Gao Shen did not take the uncrowned king in his eyes at all.

Some media reporters even threatened Maqueda in person, "If he doesn't attend the press conference again, we will reject Real Madrid from now on!"

But how deterrent is such intimidation?

Even though Real Madrid's performance has declined, the galactic battleship's golden signboard is still very bright, especially the ups and downs of this season's performance, and the legendary coach's profound and legendary colors have made the current Real Madrid more gimmicky. more eye-catching.

Are they willing not to report Real Madrid?

Maqueda is not from Xiamen University, of course, he will not be fooled, but he did not entangle with the media reporters, but just conveyed a profound sentence, "I believe that Barcelona will make mistakes again, and we will definitely catch up."

Afterwards, Maqueda looked down at the note in his hand, then looked up at the media reporter in front of him, lowered his head again, raised his head again...

After hesitating for a long time, he finally read it out.

"There is not much time left. I hope that everyone present will prepare it first. How to write the report of Real Madrid winning the championship!"

The scene was dead silent at first, and then it was boiling.

All the media reporters in the audience were in an uproar.

Is this too arrogant?

After tying Barcelona in the standings, do you really think Real Madrid can win the championship?

He is afraid that he has forgotten that Real Madrid is still second in the league.

But soon, some media couldn't help but think a little deeper. Wouldn't this be another deep psychological warfare?

Some media think deeper, this is not only psychological warfare, but also to mobilize and encourage players.

And the media continues to dig deep...

Maqueda sat on the podium and looked at the media reporters who were talking about it. He suddenly felt very puzzled.

Isn't it just a sentence that Gao Shen said casually and wrote it down?

As for you to pick words like this, do you go so deeply?

He also said that he was the uncrowned king, and he didn't even know that he was led by the nose by a twenty-five-year-old young man.

What a shame for the uncrowned king!

However, after thinking about it, Maqueda didn't actually guess what Gao Shen was talking about.

Psychological warfare? mobilization order? still……

Or, anything.

Anyway, since getting along for this period of time, he felt that Gao Shen looked young, but he couldn't think about it. The more he thought about it, the more unfathomable he became and the more in awe he felt.

Many times, what he did, he felt very empty at the moment, but when he looked back after the event, he would find that every time he had his deep meaning.

Maqueda doesn't know what others think of Gao Shen.

But he really felt that Gao Shen was like a monster in the fog of the abyss.
