Years make people old!
When I met Beckham with these words, the deep feeling was even deeper.
Zidane was born in 1972, and Beckham was born in 1975. There is a three-year age difference between the two. He said without hesitation that he could meet the advanced requirements.
Moreover, the England midfielder looked motivated and eager to try.
Such a mental outlook made Gao Shen very happy.
If Real Madrid's superstars can have Beckham's state and desire to win, then things will be simple, and Real Madrid will not be reduced to the current situation.
Beckham was also quick to reveal the source of his motivation.
"This is the first time I have played in England since I joined Real Madrid in 2003." Gao Shen was taken
aback, he really didn't notice this.
Seeing what Beckham said so seriously, it goes without saying that he can't be wrong.
In this way, in the past three years, Real Madrid has never met a Premier League team. No wonder they lost 1-0 to Arsenal at the Bernabeu in the first leg. With the current situation of Real Madrid's old age, it would be a toilet to meet a Premier League team. Light the lamp inside, court death.
As a player from Manchester United, Beckham knows his rival Arsenal very well, but in recent years, Arsenal has been very different from before, especially with the departure of Vieira and other players. With technical and youthful reforms, the playing style has also changed.
Let's put it this way, before the high-level travel, many people had the impression that Wenger was skilled, good at youth training and scouting for rookies. This is actually wrong, or incomplete.
Wenger used to spend a lot of money to buy people, but in order to build a new stadium, he had to save money and go on a diet, so he was forced to pay attention to youth training and discover rookies. As for the technical flow, this is not comprehensive, because for a while, Arsenal are the dirtiest team in the Premier League.
Later, after Vieira left the team, didn't Arsenal players often get violated and accidents like broken legs happened frequently?
Many people said that this is Wenger's team repaying the debts of previous grievances.
When Gao Shen asked Beckham about his thoughts against Arsenal, the England midfielder mentioned the Bernabeu battle.
He did not personally experience this game, but he has watched the video. As soon as the game started, Arsenal launched a fierce attack on Real Madrid. Through the fast-paced pressing that the Premier League teams are good at, they forced Real Madrid to the left and right. It was very embarrassing. Seriously disrupted Real Madrid's game rhythm and deployment.
Carlo himself also said that in the Bernabeu battle, Arsenal's frantic pressing in the opening stage made Real Madrid very uncomfortable.
"I think we need to change the style of the team, learn from the attitude of Arsenal, show our courage and determination, stop playing slowly, you can't win at Highbury like this." Beckham suggested.
Gao Shen had been listening, and kept nodding. After Beckham had finished speaking, he clapped his hands vigorously, "That's very well said, you said what I wanted to say and what I wanted to do." He paused After a pause, Gao Shen changed the topic, "But you also know the current situation of the team and the terrible situation after the first round loss. I have to make trade-offs, trade-offs, and even compromise. However, what you said gave me a lot Great help and confidence."
Beckham was also happy.
His situation is better than that of Woodgate, but he also suffers from communication and other issues.
But now, Gao Shen can not only communicate with him in fluent English, but also the two have many common goals and interests, which makes Beckham more and more pleasing to Gao Shen, and even occasionally thinks, if he can continue to be Real Madrid Coach, that's not bad either.
It can be heard that Beckham is still angry.
In 2003, he left Manchester United in a very bad way, and these three years happened to be an embarrassing period when Real Madrid got nothing, so many people became more and more sure that it was Beckham, a guy with a silver wax head, who dragged him down. Real Madrid.
He is also eager to prove himself!
"Very well, with your words, I feel relieved." Gao Shen said with a smile.
...
"All in all, don't worry, this is the most important game of my Real Madrid career, and I can guarantee that I will absolutely, absolutely, do my best and do everything I can to help the team win, because I dream of wearing Going back to England in the Real Madrid jersey and playing to show them what I'm capable of."
In addition to Raul, Zidane and Beckham, Gao Shen also communicated with several important players in the team one by one.
Such as Gravesen, Elguera, Woodgate, Casillas and others.
In addition to asking about their current situation and their prospects for the game, he also focused on some of their problems in the game against Atletico Madrid.
The head coach's tactics are all tailored for the players. The player's feeling on the court and how comfortable they are playing are also of great guiding significance to the head coach's formation, so Gao Shen also attaches great importance to this.
The general framework remains the same, but some details need to be adjusted. Gao Shen will record these one by one, and then hand it over to Maqueda, and focus on arrangements for improvement in training.
The work took two days.
In these two days, Gao Shen had a re-chat with all the players in the team except Ronaldo and Carlos, and the chat was more in-depth than before.
After the training, he didn't go to Carlo to learn from him, but went home and hid in the tactical library after eating.
For Carlo, Gao Shen is very respectful, but I have to say that many of Carlo's ideas and concepts do not match him.
To put it bluntly, Carlo is conservative and stable, while Gao Shen is more radical.
In the tactical library, Gao Shen is more researching some of the works of Benitez and Ferguson, focusing on some of their strategic thinking, formation and on-the-spot command before and after their contest with Wenger, especially targeted defense.
It has to be said that Gao Shen has benefited a lot from some of the arrangements made by these two master tacticians.
…
While Gao Shen was quietly preparing, Real Madrid was also carrying out the training plan in an orderly manner.
Since Gao Shen canceled the half-day vacation, the team can take a training session to conduct targeted drills.
This class was arranged by Gao Shen on the day before the competition, it was quite precious, and every second counted.
This is true for blocking the Brazilian gang, and it is also true for facing Arsenal.
At the same time, before the last targeted training session, Gao Shen specially arranged a tactical meeting. He will explain the targeted tactics in the game against Arsenal, so that every player understands what he needs to do in the game. what to do, and why.
After the meeting, repeat the drill in the afternoon training session. Gao Shen believes that this will be more effective.
After training, Real Madrid will set off to London collectively, and there will be a tactical meeting the next morning.
From playing Atletico Madrid to playing against Arsenal, not only the coaching staff of Real Madrid, everyone in the team is like a clockwork, non-stop and continuous rotation, everyone is working towards the same goal , everyone is very engaged and focused.
Everyone knows that if the team fails to win Arsenal at Highbury, it will stop at the top 16 for two consecutive seasons.
For Real Madrid, this is unacceptable anyway.
More importantly, Gao Shen and the local gang headed by Raul, Zidane, Beckham, Gravesen and others have reached a consensus early on. Everyone is working hard for this game, and others will naturally Also keep up.
Chairman Martin was interviewed by the media and appeared in person, hoping to ease the conflict and allow Ronaldo to return to the main force, but Gao Shen did not accept the call, nor did he accept any interviews, and he was all focused on the training base.
The decisive battle was imminent, and the storm was about to come, and everyone felt a strong murderous aura of decisiveness.
And everyone is guessing, what kind of tactics Gao Shen will adopt in Highbury?
Alfredo, the editor-in-chief of Aspen, said in his column that Real Madrid had no choice but to attack, but Arsenal must also arrange tactics around this point. Real Madrid's attack is tantamount to stepping directly into Wenzhou. Go into grid's trap. how to kick
Can't kick!
Can't attack, but defend?
No, because Real Madrid must score goals if they want to advance.
The outside world doesn't know what Real Madrid is doing, but they know that the conflict between Gao Shen and the Brazilian Gang has not been alleviated.
Not only Alfredo, even the former Real Madrid technical director Sacchi revealed in a telephone interview with Marca that Real Madrid's chances of winning this game are very slim, because Wenger and Arsenal are among the strongest teams in Europe today. one.
There are also many people who have issued an appeal, hoping that Real Madrid can reuse the Brazilian help, especially Ronaldo and Carlos.
At this critical moment when offense is needed, who else is more reliable than Ronaldo? More punch than Carlos?
But all of this was like a stone sinking, blocked from Valdebebas.
There is a raging crowd outside, with all kinds of opinions, and there is an overwhelming trend. The call for the reuse of Ronaldo is full of headlines in major Spanish newspapers, especially after the new chairman Martin made the appeal.
To make matters worse, Wenger also came forward at this time to accept interviews with the British media.
"The away goal in the first leg seems to be dominant, but it is nothing. It will only make Real Madrid try their best to attack, and they have the best attacker in the world Ronaldo. No team's defense can say that they can. We can't stop Ronaldo from scoring."
"So, against Real Madrid, we have to defend well, but we've never been experts at defending, so we need to strike a balance while defending well."
And when the reporter asked about the player in the Real Madrid team that made Wenger most afraid, the Arsenal head coach chose Ronaldo without hesitation. He firmly believed that Ronaldo would and should appear at Highbury Stadium. Once Wenger's interview was published by the newspaper, it sparked heated discussions again, especially when it spread to Spain, the Spanish media called for Ronaldo to come back even louder.
The home team lost 0-1 at home in the first round, so why not attack in the away game in the second round?
Since it is to attack, why not use Ronaldo?
The Arsenal coach said that although the team had an advantage in the first round, the second round is still not optimistic. Real Madrid is still the most offensive team on the planet, especially Ronaldo.
