The morning training session started amid the protests of Real Madrid fans.
Nearly 300 fans came to Valdebebas, all to protest Gao Shen.
They made a lot of noise and movement on the sidelines, which seriously affected the training of the players on the field. Both Raul and Guti walked over to appease the fans, but to no avail.
Since it was a recovery training, Gao Shen still let Maqueda preside over it, while he stood by and watched silently, especially paying attention to Woodgate who was injured again a few days ago.
The England central defender has played intermittently in recent times. Carlo even prefers to use Raul Bravo rather than take the risk of using Woodgate. This is not entirely because of his poor performance. In fact, he has had very good performances , but his fragile body is very worrying.
Gao Shen noticed that when Woodgate participated in the team's joint training, he obviously couldn't let go of his movements, and it was obvious that he was under a lot of psychological pressure and burden.
During the 90-minute training session, Gao Shen watched silently throughout the whole process, which once again surprised the Real Madrid players.
Could it be that this rookie head coach really just wants to be a mascot?
Especially Raul, who knew what he was thinking, was even more puzzled.
The time for the same-city derby is getting closer, shouldn't it be time to start arranging targeted tactical drills?
Unlike running away after the training session yesterday afternoon, Gao Shen still stayed where he was after the training session in the morning.
He also called Zidane.
...
In the Real Madrid team, the French have never spoken much, but this does not mean that Zidane's words have no weight.
On the contrary, everyone knows that Zidane's words are often more effective than Ronaldo.
Sometimes people are like this, Ronaldo is very capricious, he likes to call Florentino at every turn, it seems to be frequent, but Florentino really likes this superstar who complains frequently and even pushes the palace?
Zidane usually stays calm, it's not a big deal, and he usually doesn't bother Florentino, but this makes Florentino pay more attention to him, and he can be called the invisible in the dressing room of Real Madrid boss.
No matter who he is facing, Zidane has always maintained a calm and calm attitude, as if nothing can anger him.
I have a deep understanding of Zidane's character, and I don't talk too much. When there is no one around, I will go directly to the topic.
"We have received a fax from the French national team."
When Zidane heard this, he raised his head and looked at Gao Shen, with a hint of ridicule flashing in his eyes.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking for your opinion as usual. If you want to go, I'll send you a fax later. If you have other ideas, I can also help you." Gao Shen said lightly.
These remarks fully respected Zidane's personal wishes, and Gao Shen told Zidane with a help word that he was on Zidane's side. If he didn't want to go, Gao Shen could come out and be the villain.
Zidane is a smart person, he immediately understood Gao Shen's meaning, raised his head, and looked at Gao Shen's eyes slightly changed.
He found that Gao Shen in front of him was not a rookie or a pustule.
"After Domenech took office, he promoted the rejuvenation reform of the national team. The average age has dropped a lot, and he is more aggressive, but he lacks experience, so he has recently recruited a group of experienced veterans, which requires running-in." Zidane explained.
As early as after the European Cup in 2004, Zidane had already withdrawn from the national team, but later Domenech persuaded him to come back.
Anyone can see that Zidane's goal is the World Cup in Germany.
In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, being eliminated in the group stage was a humiliation for a superstar of Zidane's level.
He wants to be ashamed!
"From November to May last year, we only had this warm-up match." Zidane said lightly.
Gao Shen nodded, "Understood, I'll send a fax when I get back."
"Thank you." Zidane's tone was still very flat.
Seeing that the French superstar was about to turn around and leave, Gao Shen suddenly spoke again.
"You played for France in the World Cup in Germany with the aim of not leaving any regrets. What about Real Madrid?"
Zidane frowned and looked at Gao Shen with some annoyance, "What do you mean? Do you doubt my professional ethics?"
"No , You misunderstood." Gao Shen replied with a kind smile, "I never doubted your professional ethics, I just thought, are you willing to end your Real Madrid career like this?"
Zidane was a little silent.
What level of superstar is he?
In the past ten years, after Maradona, he and Ronaldo are the most powerful.
It's normal for superstars at their level to be arrogant and even supercilious.
Without this kind of dominance, how can you stand up at the critical moment of the game?
"I believe you have also seen that we are currently 10 points behind Barcelona and 2 points behind Valencia, but we have Celta Vigo and Osasuna chasing after us. If we are not careful, we may lose the top four. , but if we can work harder and push forward, even threatening Barcelona's top position, it is not impossible."
After a pause, Gao Shen reminded again: "There are still 13 rounds in the league, and there are still 13 rounds left in the Champions League. What do you think about the second round?"
Zidane understood Gao Shen's meaning and was a little surprised, because he originally thought that Gao Shen would try his best to suppress the superstars, including himself, but he didn't expect that Gao Shen would take the initiative to tell himself this.
"Didn't you just declare war on the superstar yesterday?" Zidane's tone was still calm.
Gao Shen chuckled, "The media always likes to write articles like this. What I'm talking about is that some players don't deserve to wear Real Madrid's jersey, but this doesn't include you, because I know that you have a lot of affection for this team. You It is here that you reached the pinnacle of your career, and this place will be your lifetime memory."
Zidane was silent again, because Gao Shen was right.
His national team career was brilliant, but in the club, Real Madrid is his peak, his career has completed a transformation here, especially Florentino.
"I believe that you would not want this memory of yours to end in a dismal end anyway, would you?" The profound question left Zidane speechless.
Why did he choose to retire this summer?
It is because he is extremely disappointed with the current situation of Real Madrid. He feels that if he continues to play, he is just repeating the mistakes of the past three years. For him, instead of enjoying the fun of playing football, it is more like a torture. kind of humiliation.
The profound words reached his heart, but so what?
"What do you think you can change?" Zidane is such an arrogant person, Gao Shen said the central thing to his face, and immediately made a strong counterattack.
Gao Shen didn't think it was disobedient, but was a little happy because he talked about Zidane's weakness.
"I don't know what I can change. Many people say that I can't stay in this position for long, but I think there is always something to do, and I have always felt that a team like Real Madrid is the most important thing to do. What is lacking is not an outstanding head coach, but a head coach who can bring the players together and work together for one goal."
After Gao Shen finished speaking, he smiled freely: "Maybe I lost to Atletico Madrid this week. After class, I will finish class, maybe I won, anyway, as long as I am still here, I have to do something within my ability and not leave any regrets for myself, what do you think?"
Zidane stared at Gao Shen, as if wanting to I noticed something in his eyes, and finally he left a faint sentence, turned around and left.
"Let's talk about it after you can sit firmly in this position."
Gao Shen smiled slightly as he watched the French superstar leave.
He saw it, Zidane remained neutral.
…
After sending Zidane away, Gao Shen went straight to the medical room.
Sure enough, the team doctor was there to conduct physical examinations on several wounded in the team, which is also a routine after training.
Gao Shen casually asked about the situation of several injured players, but the focus was on Woodgate.
The team doctor is quite satisfied with the physical condition of the England central defender, and he is basically fine.
In the first round of the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League against Arsenal, he was injured in the ninth minute of his start.
Woodgate joined Real Madrid in August 2004, but he has been recuperating since April. The day before he signed for Real Madrid, he was still receiving treatment in Munich, but Real Madrid still chose to sign him, which shows the importance they attach to him degree.
After joining, the restorative training was not done well. As soon as he joined, he was injured in training, and then he was injured again. His debut was delayed until September 2005, which was the fourth round of this season. He played against Bilbao at home. Competitive, he started the game and sent an own goal in the 25th minute, causing the team to fall behind.
Since then, Woodgate's playing time has become intermittent, even after the change of head coach, Caro is very cautious in using him, mainly because of his long truce.
This situation continued until the end of January. In the 21st round of the league, Real Madrid challenged Celta Vigo away. At halftime, the Danish midfielder Gravesen was injured, Woodgate came off the bench, and Elguera was pushed to the center. As a result, Real Madrid's defense has been greatly improved in the second half. Not only did they not concede a goal, but they scored a goal and defeated Celta Vigo 2-1.
Immediately afterwards, they beat Espanyol 4-0 at home and Athletic Bilbao 2-0 away. They kept a clean sheet in two consecutive games. After Woodgate played the main role, Real Madrid's defense has improved significantly.
The most typical is the Copa del Rey. In the first round, they lost 6-1 to Zaragoza. The main central defenders were Elguera and Ramos. However, after using the combination of Ramos and Woodgate in the second round, Real Madrid returned to the home court for 4 games. Zero had his revenge.
It can be said that the three games at the end of January and the beginning of February have proved Woodgate's strength and convinced everyone that he is a trustworthy member of Real Madrid's defense.
Unexpectedly, in the first round of the UEFA Champions League against Arsenal, Woodgate was injured after playing nine minutes, and Real Madrid lost 0-1 at home to the Gunners.
In the next two games, Woodgate failed to enter the squad, and Carlo even did not hesitate to use Raul Bravo as a central defender.
What many people don't know is that, regardless of the Arsenal game, Woodgate has played 13 games for Real Madrid this season, with 891 minutes, 11 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and 5 losses. Three goals were conceded in the 1-3 away game against Deportivo. In the remaining 12 games, only two goals were conceded.
Here is an own goal scored by Woodgate himself.
Again, without injury, Woodgate is a world-class central defender.
Gao Shen also clearly remembers that this glass man who couldn't play in Real Madrid, after being transferred to Middlesbrough, turned into a pillar of Middlesbrough's defense again, showing a super level , and returned to the England national team.
What was it that led to such a disparity between his performances at Real Madrid and Middlesbrough?

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
Sometimes, playing football is very close to working in the workplace.
Joining a wealthy family is like joining a famous company, leading a high salary that everyone envies. On the surface, it looks more glamorous than others, but the pressure also comes with it. The internal competition is fierce enough to crush countless people.
If you are not overwhelmed, then congratulations, with the help of the platform of famous companies, your career development is about to take off.
However, not everyone can adapt to the competitive pressure and work intensity of famous companies.
In the same way, not all players can adapt to the competitive pressure and training intensity of the giants.
Woodgate is one such player.
From a technical point of view, Woodgate has almost no obvious weaknesses, and it is precisely because of this that Real Madrid will be willing to pay him nearly 17 million euros in transfer fees, which is considered very high among central defenders price up.
From a psychological perspective, Woodgate has no obvious problems.
What really prevented him from gaining a foothold in Real Madrid was his fragile body.
In a team like Real Madrid, the competition is unprecedentedly fierce, and even in many cases, training is more tragic than actual combat.
Gao Shen still remembers that after retiring, Woodgate once accepted an interview with Marca and mentioned his bleak experience in Real Madrid. He said that language and injuries were the key factors for his failure to play in Real Madrid, which caused him frequent injuries. In addition to his own physical factors, the reason is the fierce competition within the Real Madrid team.
"When you enter such a big club, you can't even lose training. Losing a game is more like losing a world war!"
Unfortunately, Woodgate's start in Real Madrid can be described as miserable.
After a long-term injury, he delivered an own goal to the Bernabeu fans on his debut.
If a good start is half the battle, then Woodgate's poor start doomed his tragic fate.
…
Gao Shen shouted to Woodgate who had just finished the examination outside the medical room.
Today's English central defender has long since lost the slightest bit of the "bad boy" in the Premier League. Years of injuries and huge pressure from public opinion have worn away Woodgate's vigor.
Those with high EQ call it maturity, and those with low EQ call it lying down after repeated beatings by reality.
But what surprised Woodgate was that Gao Shen talked to him directly in English.
From the day he joined Real Madrid, from Camacho to Raymond to Luxembourg to Carlo, none of the head coaches could understand his English, which left him with a huge language barrier between the coaching staff .
It can be said that this is also an important reason for his frequent injuries.
There is no communication, he doesn't understand what the head coach means, and the head coach doesn't understand his thoughts.
After meeting and chatting for a few words, Gao Shen took out an old photo.
The man in the photo looks a bit young, wearing the jersey of the England national team, Woodgate recognized it at a glance, it was taken on June 8, 1999, in Bulgaria, European Cup qualifiers, he represented England for the first time play.
In that game, his partners were Southgate and Campbell.
It was also in that game that Rio Ferdinand, who later created the sky-high price of the world's number one central defender, sat on the bench.
That year, he was nineteen years old.
It was also that year that Chelsea's captain Terry was still unable to play for the first team.
Woodgate stared blankly at the photo for a long while, then turned his head and looked at Gao Shen warily.
"What do you mean?"
It's not surprising.
This rookie head coach, who was criticized by the locker room bosses, fans and the media, showed such a photo as soon as he met him. What is he trying to do? Could it be that he wants to say that he is my fan and use this to get close?
If he was a few years younger, Woodgate might have taken it, but now... huh.
Gao Shen smiled lightly, "You know, I'm studying sports at Loughborough University. I have a classmate from Leeds. He is a fan of Leeds United, and he is also a fan of you. This is one of his photos of you, even if Up to now, he still thinks that you are the best central defender in England, and even in the world."
Woodgate didn't react at all, because he didn't know where Gao Shen's photo came from, and whether the story was true.
But Gao Shen's subsequent words completely changed his face, revealing an inconceivable expression.
"He has been watching you and waiting for you." For some reason, when Woodgate heard this, he couldn't help but believe it.
Attention and anticipation, this is what he longs for and what he lacks.
As a once highly anticipated star, he once enjoyed countless attention and expectations, and even he once dismissed them, especially when he joined Real Madrid, he was ambitious to achieve himself in this team A new peak in his career, becoming a member of the world's attention superstars.
But all of this is now gone from him.
In the past one and a half years, he has completely lost joining Real Madrid, and even lost all the ambitions he had played for so many years. He knows that his career is like this.
Ferdinand and Terry, the two peers he once left behind, have now surpassed him, and he will never catch up in his life.
No one could understand the depression and loss in his heart, and no one even paid attention to his every move.
In the beginning, the media would report some of Woodgate's injuries, but gradually, no one cared about it.
The media is like this, the fans are like this, and even the head coach is basically like this.
Sometimes Woodgate wonders if Real Madrid's coaching staff has forgotten that there is such a player in the team?
"In the UK, and even in the world, there are many fans like my friend. They have not forgotten you. They have been paying attention and waiting, but you don't know it."
When Gao Shen was speaking, he noticed that Woodgate The hand holding the photo trembled slightly, and he knew that he was right.
There is a Hawthorne effect in management, which means that when a person realizes that he is being watched, he will subtly and deliberately change some behaviors.
The friend of this Leeds fan is real, and the photo is real, but whether he still pays attention to Woodgate is unknown.
Gao Shen's intention is obvious, that is to tell Woodgate one thing through this incident, that is, there are still many fans who are silently paying attention to and looking forward to him.
As for whether Gao Shen, a friend, is still paying attention, this is no longer important, and there is no way to verify it.
Guiding through stories is always more effective than simple and rude preaching.
Especially when Gao Shen uses Woodgate's familiar English.
"I let them down, you know, my body..." Woodgate became frustrated.
Gao Shen shook his head, "I just asked the team doctor that your physical condition is not bad, but the pressure is too high and the tension is too tight, which causes you to become overly nervous in many cases, which in turn is prone to mistakes and injuries."
"You know Yes, there are cases like yours. Let's just talk about Ronaldo. Isn't he injured more seriously than you? Isn't he recuperating longer than you? But now, he is still the top striker in the world, isn't he? Can you?"
Ronaldo can, don't you have a chance too?
Woodgate figured out what Gao Shen wanted him to understand.
And he was indeed a little moved.
"You know, in this weekend derby, Ramos will be suspended for accumulating yellow cards, and our central defender has a vacant position. I hope you can replace Ramos and partner with Elguera."
"Me?" Woodgate was taken aback.
"Yes, and I'm sure you've seen it, right now there's a serious shortage of centre-backs and you're the best option for the team, but if you continue to get injured or don't perform well over the weekend, I'll reconsider other options Gao Shen once heard a very interesting little question: two choices, one is to take twenty yuan directly, the other is to guess coins, if you win, you will have a chance to win one hundred yuan, if you lose, you will get nothing.
Most people will choose to take twenty yuan directly.
why?
Because when a choice is given, the chooser will automatically regard the 20 yuan as their own, so they will subconsciously feel that guessing the coin may cause them to lose the 20 yuan. Not even the hundred bucks.
Savvy management often uses this method to motivate employees.
Gao Shen first gave Woodgate a position as the main central defender, and then told him that if he did not perform well, he would lose this position, which made him feel disgusted deep in his heart.
Not a distaste for being high, but a distaste for losing a starting job that you got.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Woodgate took a deep breath and said loudly: "Don't worry, you don't have such a chance!"
After speaking, the England central defender turned and left.
By the way, I also took away the photo of Gao Shen's friend.
…
After watching Woodgate leave, Gao Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
The management of personnel in the locker room of a wealthy family is really a very brain-burning thing.
Each player's personality is completely different, and each player's experience and appeal are also completely different. It seems simple to combine these people into a whole, but it is actually very complicated.
Especially for a rookie like Gao Shen who has no qualifications, why should they be obedient?
Now it can only be said that everything is just on track.
This is what Mao Zedong said, fighting with others is a lot of fun.
After returning from the medical room, Gao Shen buried himself in the office preparing the training materials for the afternoon.
In the tactical library last night, he focused on Benitez's double midfielder tactical play in Valencia and Liverpool, focusing on the formation and positioning, especially the construction of the defensive system, which involves too much What a complicated thing.
What Gao Shen can do at present is to pull out a tactical framework in a short period of time, and play combat effectiveness in the weekend derby as soon as possible, and then slowly enrich and improve it when there is time.
But even so, Gao Shen still has a lot of things to do, the first thing is to let the players understand his way of thinking.
As Real Madrid players, tactical literacy is not a problem. As long as they understand and are willing to implement it, then this tactical play will definitely work, because this itself is part of the tactical literacy of professional players.
So Gao Shen's next challenge is how to let the players understand his tactical requirements and how to adapt the team's tactics.
The weekend is the derby, and there is really not much time left for him.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
