Capítulo 28: Chapter 28 Who's Right? Who is wrong?
Spaniards have weird schedules.
Three o'clock in the afternoon is their lunch time, and dinner is not eaten until nine o'clock in the evening, or even midnight.
The end of the derby match happened to be the most lively moment in the streets of Madrid. The whole city was full of bustling scenes of feasting and feasting. Who would have thought that behind such prosperity, there was a huge economic crisis lurking?
The subprime mortgage crisis is coming, and the European debt crisis will follow. Spain will become one of the five European pig countries.
By that time, will these people still be as happy and indulgent as they are now?
Gao Shen didn't have time to understand all this. After he led the team back to Valdebebas, he rode his bicycle back to Ortaleza District.
I met a lot of fans along the way, some of them were singing and dancing, dancing for joy, so needless to say, they must be fans of Real Madrid; Sitting on the side of the road drinking...
In fact, Gao Shen couldn't understand the feelings of these local fans for the derby. He only knew that this game was very important to him, but it had already passed, and every next game The game is more important than the past derby.
That's enough!
...
Walking through the familiar streets and alleys, I soon came to Carlo's house.
It is easy to identify because there is a badly mottled basketball hoop on the wall in front of their house.
Who would have thought that the football coach's son turned out to be a basketball fan?
Fortunately, Real Madrid also has a basketball team, so the father and son have some common topics.
When he rang the bell, Mrs. Carroll came out and opened the door for him.
"Good evening, Mrs. Carlo." Gao Shen greeted politely.
Mrs. Carlo was also in a good mood, she nodded to him with a smile, and pointed to the small yard behind her, "He's waiting for you over there."
As soon as Gao Shen entered the yard, he saw Carlo waving at him not far away . , in front of him was a small square table with a few dishes on it, a few bottles of wine, and a thermos.
"Knowing that you don't drink, I specially boiled a pot of water for you." Carlo stood up and beckoned Gao Shen to sit down opposite him.
Gao Shen hurriedly expressed his thanks, and poured himself a glass of cool drink.
"You're so interesting. You don't drink, smoke, gamble, and almost have no bad habits. What's the fun in such a life?" Carlo asked with a smile as he watched Gao Shen's movements.
After listening to Gao Shen, an impression came to mind, this is not the first time that Carlo teased him like this.
In the past, he always explained solemnly that it was because his parents disciplined him strictly since he was a child, and all bad habits were banned in domestic schools, but now...
"Men, you have to be tough on yourself. "Gao Shen didn't explain, but smiled.
Carlo clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes, that's right, it really should be like this."
A burst of jokes shortened the distance between them, and the conversation started.
"Sir, I am very happy that you can go to the Bernabeu to watch the game tonight." Gao Shen said gratefully.
Carlo waved his hand, "Originally I was going to enter the arena with the ticket you gave me, but I ran into Florentino."
"Florentino?" Gao Shen was very surprised, "He's back?"
Carlo nodded, "A lot of things, actually I don't know much about them. You know, although Florentino has only been in charge of Real Madrid for more than five years, his influence on this club is very profound. Nowadays, every one of the Bernabeu There are his people in the department, even Martin, dare not openly confront him."
Gao Shen understood.
It has always been said that Florentino stepped down in order to regain power.
Combined with Gao Shen's own understanding now, Florentino, Martin, and even the first vice chairman Tapias and others seem to be in the same camp, but in fact there are internal contradictions, which gave Calderon a terrible opportunity. Take advantage of this opportunity.
It is estimated that Florentino himself did not expect that Calderon would take advantage of his originally stable situation.
Only then did Gao Shen's past life come into being. In the 2006 Real Madrid presidential election, Calderon took Mijatovic to the top.
The relationship inside is too complicated, and there are too many interest disputes involved.
Carlo certainly didn't come to talk to Gao Shen about this, he just said some things he heard in the box, such as Di Stefano, Valdano and Butragueno's comments on Gao Shen, and his own comments on this Some thoughts on the game.
Overall, Gao Shen handed in a perfect score in this derby.
But even so, Martin still does not intend to give Gao Shen a formal coaching contract.
"You should understand that Martin does not support you or trust you. On the contrary, he has been waiting for you to make mistakes." Carlo reminded.
Gao Shen absolutely believed in Carlo's character, and if he said that, it proved that he had indeed heard what he said.
Of course, Martin will not be afraid of Gao Shen knowing this, because he stands too high.
"Then he was wrong, I will definitely let him down!" Gao Shen said firmly.
Carlo frowned. He found that Gao Shen was very stubborn and very assertive. This was completely different from his previous impression of Gao Shen. It was as if he was a different person.
"Don't you understand? Beating Atletico Madrid at home is not a real challenge. Next you have to face Arsenal led by Arsene Wenger, you know? So far this season, Arsenal have six If you keep a clean sheet in the Champions League, as long as you keep a clean sheet at Highbury, you will be able to equal or even exceed AC Milan's record for the longest clean sheet in the history of the Champions League."
"At Highbury Stadium, Arsenal have been unbeaten in eight consecutive Champions League games. The last time they lost was in the quarter-finals in 2004. After a 1-1 draw away from home in the first leg, they went back to home for 1-2. Lost to Ranieri's Chelsea, and the Gunners have only conceded three goals in eight unbeaten games."
Carlo's statistics are very detailed, and there is nothing wrong with it, which proves that Arsenal are indeed very strong.
In deep memory, Arsenal have even reached the Champions League final this season, narrowly beating Rijkaard's Barcelona.
You know, there are a lot of newcomers in the current Arsenal team, such as Cesc Fabregas, Reyes, Flamini, Toure, Eboue, etc., all young players promoted by Wenger.
Although Arsenal is no longer at the peak when they were unbeaten for 49 games, they are still one of the strongest teams in Europe.
Seeing that Gao Shen was silent, Carlo shook his head and sighed, a little anxious.
"You know why everyone puts so much emphasis on topping the Champions League group stage?" Carlo asked.
After thinking for a while, Gao Shen replied, "In order to avoid the top spot in other groups?"
He was a little unsure if this was the answer Carlo wanted, it was common sense.
"It's only part of it. More importantly, the group's top spot in the knockout round of the sixteenth is to go first and then host. Many people understand that it is a favorable schedule to go first and then host, but this is also very one-sided. The most important reason is that , In the history of the knockout rounds of the Champions League, almost no team can comeback in an away game after losing at home."
Gao Shen felt what Carlo wanted to convey, but he noticed Carlo's wording.
"Almost?"
"Yes, there is only one time in the history of the Champions League, that is, in the semi-finals of the Champions League in the 1995-96 season, Ajax of the Netherlands lost 0-1 at home to Panathinaikos of Greece in the first leg Afterwards, the second leg was reversed 3-0, but lost to Juventus in the final, only this time."
Carlo emphasized his tone, "So, to a certain extent, in the Champions League knockout round, as long as you beat your opponent in an away game, it often represents the right to advance, so the schedule of first away and then home will give the team a great psychological advantage. ."
Gao Shen suddenly realized that, as expected, nothing happens for no reason.
Football is the most detailed and interesting sport in the world, and it is also the most fascinating and brain-burning sport.
"Now you know, defeating Arsenal, the probability of a comeback is almost zero, unless you can create a miracle!"
Carlo's starting point is not to destroy Gao Shen's confidence, but to persuade him to retreat.
Even if a miracle is really created and Arsenal are defeated, so what?
After playing Arsenal, the second and third place in the league will be followed by a guest at the Mestagna Stadium to challenge Valencia.
From Atletico Madrid to Arsenal to Valencia, three consecutive games are decisive battles, can Real Madrid bear it? Can Gao Shen bear it?
Not to mention, followed by the Champions League quarter-finals, and even the stronger Barcelona.
With the current lineup of Real Madrid, how can this kind of morale be able to withstand it?
Gao Shen didn't say much all the time. He could feel Carlo's kindness, because if he was not careful, he might lose his reputation and ruin his future. The risk was too great.
But for him, this is a very rare opportunity.
"Mr. Carlo." Gao Shen breathed out lightly, and said lightly, "I still remember that you once told me that the basketball hoop outside belonged to your child, right?"
Carlo didn't know why, but Still nodding.
"You hope your child can play football, and you have trained him to play football since he was a child, but he just doesn't like football and likes to play basketball. For a while, you were very angry, and you two had conflicts because of this, until one day, He stands in front of you, raises his head, and tells you loudly that he wants to try on the basketball team."
Carlo looked at Gao Shen blankly, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"Today, I am very grateful for you telling me this, but I still say that, I want to try!"
Gao Shen looked directly at Carlo, his eyes were full of determination, without the slightest dodge.
"I know that from the environment, from the strength, from the probability, and from various data analysis, the possibility of our away game against Arsenal is zero. I don't deny it, but I also believe that football games never rely on probability. To determine the outcome, even those gaming companies can only give a rough idea, so there will be upsets."
"I'm still young, and I don't know how to calculate the gains and losses in it, but I know that if I If I don't try today, I will regret it, and I will definitely regret it in the future, and I don't want to regret it!"
Carlo was a little stunned.
Adults always like to calculate the gains and losses of various interests, which is called maturity, but children start from the heart, and just want to try to explore this novel world on their own.
