One Hundred and Thirteen Cornered

When Real Madrid knocked out AC Milan at the San Siro, Barcelona also narrowly beat Villarreal 1-0 at the Estadio dello.

Ronaldinho assisted Giuly and scored the winning goal for Barcelona to advance to the final with a total score of 1-0.

The two heroes of the Western Super League both got tickets to the Stade de France, which immediately made the entire Spanish football world cheer for it, and the European football world was also shocked by it.

This is the second time that two La Liga teams have participated in the UEFA Champions League final, the last time being Real Madrid against Valencia in 2000.

Interestingly, the last time was also at the Stade de France.

What's more interesting is that the coach who led Real Madrid to the Champions League final in two thousand years was the head coach Bosque who put out the fire midway.

This time it was Gao Shen who put out the fire halfway.

Suddenly, there are so many similarities coming together to make this Champions League final even more dramatic.

Moreover, Real Madrid won the championship last time in the hands of Del Bosque. After he dismissed get out of class, Real Madrid had nothing to gain.

After defeating AC Milan, the media close to Real Madrid, such as Aspen and Marca, are all hyping up a topic, will Gao Shen become the second Del Bosque?

Gradually, some media began to take the initiative to defend Gao Shen.

For example, his conservatism. Some media analysts believe that Real Madrid's current lineup can indeed only play conservative tactics.

It's like when Bosque led Real Madrid to win the championship, they played five backs.

Some people questioned the profound resume, but speaking of it, Bosque did not have the slightest outstanding resume before coaching Real Madrid's first team. He has been coaching the youth team all the time.

Regarding the encounter with Barcelona in the Champions League final, the media also generally believe that Barcelona has a slight advantage, but Real Madrid also has the power to fight.

After all, the past two years belonged to Barcelona's peak period, while Real Madrid was on the decline.

Now that they have reached the final, Real Madrid must be at a disadvantage in terms of situation.

More importantly, the two teams currently have the same points in the La Liga standings.

This leaves a lot of suspense.

Who will have the last laugh?

Is Real Madrid finally completed a miraculous counterattack season? Or will Barcelona finally reap the double crown?

or,

Both sides won a championship?

…………

…………

"Don't take any chances, let alone have any unrealistic fantasies."

On the second day after playing Milan, before resuming training, Gao Shen gave a rare lecture on the training ground.

And, that's a lot to say.

"Some of you are veterans who have played football for many years and have more experience than me. You should know that the more you are at this critical moment, the easier it is to lose the chain. The most terrifying thing is not the opponent in front of us, but ourselves."

The old players, including Raul and Zidane, all nodded in unison.

Laziness is the worst enemy of a team.

"I just want to tell you a cruel fact today, La Liga and the Champions League..."

Gao Shen stretched out his hands slowly, one hand seemed to be holding La Liga, and the other seemed to be holding the Champions League.

"We want these two championships!"

Adults don't do multiple-choice questions with primary school students.

More importantly, it is related to the morale and fighting spirit of the team.

When you stand in front of two champions and want to win one and give up the other, you have already lost.

This loss means not only losing one championship, but losing both.

Therefore, at this time, in any case, it is necessary to completely dispel the unrealistic thoughts of all players, and not let them get lucky, thinking that the initiative in the league is in the hands of Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid should consider giving up the league and focusing on the Champions League.

This is bullshit.

The last round of the league is played three days before the Champions League. If Real Madrid loses La Liga, what will happen in the Champions League final?

By that time, the morale of the team had plummeted, and Barcelona was taking advantage of the momentum of winning the league to beat Real Madrid in one go.

This is the last thing Gao Shen wants to see.

The strength itself is not as good as Barcelona, ​​so it can only rely on hard work and will.

"From now on, it's best for each of you to unify your thinking and keep pace with me, otherwise..."

Gao Shen didn't finish his ruthless words, but his eyes swept over every player like a knife, and he believed that everyone could understand what he meant.

Since coaching Real Madrid, Gao Shen has always had a good impression on the players, and they can chat with each other. There are really not many harsh words like today.

Even when he decided to suppress the Brazilian gang and not give them a chance to play, he didn't get mad like this on the spot.

But it is precisely because of this that players can better understand the intentions behind Gao Shen's cruel words and the serious situation Real Madrid is currently in.

Whether it is the league or the Champions League, it has reached a critical moment to hit the championship.

Whoever loses the chain at this time, who drags Gao Shen and the team back at this time, is the enemy of Gao Shen and the team!

...

"To be honest, you looked scary just now."

After the recovery training in the morning, Lucas and Buenaventura still had lingering fears about Gao Shen's previous lecture.

It is rare to see Gao Shen speak so harshly.

For a long time, Gao Shen gave them the impression of being black-bellied.

Say the best words and do the most ruthless things.

But this time, he was ruthless.

"Although there is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum, it is still the most effective way to convey emotions." Gao Shen smiled faintly.

As a leader, you must be able to control your temper.

Getting angry all day long is a neuropathy, and as time goes by, no one will take you seriously.

Therefore, getting angry is also a science.

"It's not easy to play against Osasuna on the weekend." Lucas shook his head and sighed.

Now Osasuna is ranked fourth in La Liga, five points ahead of Celta Vigo, who is fifth. It seems that there is no risk, right?

But what if you lose?

The points gap was immediately shortened.

What is certain is that Osasuna must slam Real Madrid. Coach Aguirre has already let go. They will snipe Real Madrid just like sniping Barcelona and play the giant killer of La Liga.

Believe it or not, four of the top seven teams in La Liga this season lost four at the El Salda Stadium in Osasuna.

Yes, it's just Deportivo who followed Real Madrid.

As long as Real Madrid and Super Depor are defeated, Aguirre can make up the Dragon Balls and summon Shenlong.

At home against the top seven teams in the league, the record is four wins and four wins. Aguirre has enough confidence to say that he will beat Real Madrid.

More importantly, Osasuna's style was brutal.

Look at Pablo Garcia, he came from Osasuna.

"In the past few years, we have played away at Osasuna, and the process has not been smooth." Lucas collected a lot of information.

In the 2000-01 season, in the middle of the match between the two sides, fans from Osasuna suddenly rushed into the stadium and unscrupulously disrupted the game; in the 2003-04 season, the fans in the stands threw objects and annoyed Beckham. The two sides confronted each other; in the 2004-2005 season, Gravesen fought directly with the opponent's players on the court.

It is precisely because of the deep grievances between the two sides that before the game, not only Aguirre said that he wanted to kill Real Madrid, but even the players of Osasuna said in the media that they wanted to make Real Madrid look good.

Collisions, flying shovels, fouls...

These war movie elements should not be missing.

It is not only Real Madrid that encounters these problems, but also other teams such as Barcelona in their away games against Osasuna.

"How is the situation of the team?" Gao Shen looked at Buenaventura and asked with concern.

He now has to consider not only Osasuna, but also the next schedule.

It will be an away game against Osasuna on the weekend, and it will be an away game against Racing Santander next Wednesday. Seville.

Three days after playing Sevilla, it was the Champions League final.

It can be said that the schedule is densely packed.

Every next game is related to whether Real Madrid can win the championship, or even the ownership of the two championships.

It is conceivable how much pressure is on Gao Shen's shoulders at this moment.

He must consider all factors and understand every player's physical, psychological and other conditions.

When Buenaventura first came to Real Madrid, he tailored a training plan for the team, but he did not expect at that time that the team would reach the Champions League final, so during this period of time, Real Madrid's schedule has been bigger than he imagined more difficult and arduous.

Even, this is an unprecedented challenge for him.

He has never led a team to play such a dense devil's schedule, and he can only cross the river by feeling the stones.

Fortunately, Gao Shen trusted and understood him very much.

"Right now, all I can say is, I'm doing my best." Buenaventura is also under a lot of pressure.

Gao Shen patted the Spanish middle-aged man on the shoulder, and said nothing more.

"The away game against Osasuna will be a hand-to-hand battle. We must be fully mentally prepared, and Ramos has been suspended with a red card. Our defense will be a problem."

When Real Madrid press high, Ramos' mobility is crucial, especially when chasing back.

What's more, Pavon, Reuven, Mejia and Raul Bravo are all unreliable.

Gao Shen is also very troubled now, or take the risk of letting Woodgate play, but the problem is that the England central defender is also a glass man, an old patient, and Elguera has just returned from injury.

Is it reliable to have two central defenders like this together?

In fact, there is another risky choice for Gao Shen, and that is Xavi Garcia.

This 19-year-old youth training youth has a very good body and is tall. He can play the two positions of midfielder and central defender in the youth team. He couldn't play in Real Madrid. I forgot whether it was in 2006 or 2007. Transferred to Osasuna, performed well, was bought back by Real Madrid, and later sent to Benfica, won the championship in the Portuguese Super League, and moved to Manchester City.

This player is also the regular main force of Spanish youth teams of all ages. Capello admired him when he coached Real Madrid for the second time, but at this stage, he is still a bit far from the main force of Real Madrid's first team.

Now is the critical moment for Real Madrid to hit the championship. Any mistake or any loss may lead to the wastage of all previous efforts. Therefore, every decision Gao Shen makes must be carefully considered and cautious.

That's why, the head coach is always prone to graying and balding.

...

On the evening of April 29th, the thirty-fifth round of La Liga.

In the ninth minute, Barcelona at home, Giuly and Belletti created opportunities on the right. Ronaldinho volleyed near the penalty spot and scored the winning goal for Barcelona.

One to zero, Barcelona defeated Cadiz at home and scored three points.

Real Madrid, who played one day later, was cornered.
