It's still the familiar press room.

  When Gao Shen walked into this ve time, he was an unknown coader heavy scrutiny. The world believed that Real Madrid's new president, Martin, had made a ludicrous, even sdalous, appoi.

  But just ten days ter, when Gao Shen walked into the venue again, the room was still full of journalists from all over the world stationed in Madrid, as well as some media practitioners who had e from Spain and other parts of Europe.

  Since Real Madrid only issued the invitatioerday, not as many people were present today, but the venue was still full.

  Gao Shen and Martin appeared side by side in front of the spotlight.

  Opposite the interview table, all the people sitting in the first row were from within Real Madrid.

  In addition to captain Raul, Casils, Zidane, Beckham, Ramos, Guti, Gravesson, and Woodgate all sat side by side, though notable absences included Brazilian pyers like Ronaldo and Carlos.

  This clearly indicated that the Brazilian group was still being sidelined.

  The presence of so many first-team pyers was enough to prove that Gao Shen had worust and support in just ten days.

  Beating Atletiadrid and ing from behind to defeat Arsenal away—these two epic victories were enough to prove his capability.

  Of course, the media would not readily admit this.

  Many still insisted that with Real Madrid's strength, even a child could sit on the bend still win.

  As to why previous Real Madrid squads couldn't win, they wouldn't say.

  This is the power of the press!

  ...

  U time, the public retioment did not provide Gao Shen with a speech.

  They just told him that during the media questioning session, he could decide whether to answer himself, and if something was inappropriate, they would remind him.

  This also proved that they had begun tnize Gao Shen's role as head coach.

  At least, fag the media is a basic skill for the head coach of a professional team.

  Martin annouhe club's decision to sign Gao Shen but cealed the tract duration.

  In fact, there was nothing to hide. The media had long revealed that Gao Shen's coag tract would end this season.

  But Martin wao frame this as not a short-term tract, but the beginning of a long-term cooperation.

  He tinued his narrative of trusting and being optimistic about Gao Shen, pying the role of Gao Shen's discoverer.

  Gao Shen sat beside him, occasionally gng sideways at Martin, and found that he really seemed to enjoy it.

  Perhaps he really believed what he was saying.

  After Martin's annou, Gao Shen expressed his gratitude. It was mostly polite remarks about the honor of being able to coach Real Madrid.

  Then the signing ceremony began.

  After the process, the session opened up to free questioning from the media.

  The first question came from a blonde woman in a bck suit and white shirt, showing off her exquisite and graceful figure. Wheood up, she was quite eye-catg.

  She was the host from Real Madrid TV.

  It was also then that Gao Shen learhat Real Madrid had its own TV station, which produced programs like interviews with pyers, coaches, and club executives.

  Her questions were very official, asking about Gao Shen's experience as a coach over the past ten days and his outlook for the future.

  Gao Shen's answers were also very official and cautious.

  Subsequent questions from Aspen, Marca, El Pais, ABd other media were basically the same, refleg a courteous tone.

  But everyone could clearly feel that Gao Shen was very different from ten days ago.

  He was no longer an ial figure.

  He was now the official head coach of Real Madrid!

  At 25 years old, he was the you head coa the history of Real Madrid, La Liga, the Champions League, and even the five major European leagues!

  He was even youhan most of the media reporters present.

  As the interview progressed, the media asked more and more questions.

  When answering a question about the pyers, Gao Shen said that he thought Real Madrid's pyers were all very good.

  "Everyone here knows that only the best pyers wear a Real Madrid shirt, so every pyer on our team is the best in the world. Maybe the young pyers are not there yet, but I believe they soon will be."

  Gao Shen said that the past two games had beed from the pyers' efforts. "Every one of us pyed as perfectly as possible, which made us show a differeal outlook on the field than in the past, so we created miracles at Highbury."

  Gao Shen's remarks received a round of appuse from the media and fans present.

  Whether they liked it or not, the media had to admit that the battle at Highbury was a cssic.

  A reporter asked about Real Madrid's goal and who would be their biggest rival.

  Gao Shen said he was not willing to think too far ahead and would only focus on eaext game.

  "In the Champions League, all the teams that made it to the quarter-finals are very good and will be our stro oppos. In La Liga, every oppo is alsood. I think gest petitor is Bara."

  This was clearly media-led.

  Whether in the Champions League or La Liga, Rijkaard and his sed Dream Team were topics that could not be avoided.

  As soon as Gao Shen finished his answer, a reporter immediately asked a question about Real Madrid's tactics.

  In the eleventh round of La Liga this season, Real Madrid pyed against Bara at the Bernabeu. At that time, Luxemburgo also used a 4-2-3-1 formatioing in a 3-0 victory for Bara at the Bernabeu, leading to the Brazilian coach's dismissal.

  Now, with the passage of time, Gao Shen had reintroduced the 4-2-3-1.

  The reporter asked Gao Shen how he po win at Camp Nou with this style of py.

  Gao Shen had watched the video of that game. Eto'o scored a goal, and Ronaldinho scored twice. Many fans talked about the Bernabeu fans appuding Ronaldinho, which happened in that game.

  All coaches who coach Real Madrid must face Bara.

  Gao Shen was no exception.

  "We have to admit that it was a humiliating and painful loss," Gao Shen summarized the game.

  "We didn't py well in that game, and our oppos pyed very well, so we suffered a humiliati. But we all know that winning or losing a football game is determined by many factors. I don't think it's because our pyers aren't as good as our oppos; it's because we didn't py at our true level for various reasons."

  "There is no doubt that Bara are very good. They have a top star like Ronaldinho and a talented rookie like Messi. But don't fet, we also have Zidane, Beckham, Raul, and Casils, along with a group of very good and brave fighters. Our squad will not lose to Bara."

  Befao Shen finished his words, a reporter stood up and said, "But you are now a full ten points behind Bara!"

  There roar at the se. Everyone was surprised. They first g the reporter, then turheir eyes back to Gao Shen, who was not angry but smiling.

  "Yes, this friend is right. We are still ten points behind Bara."

  "It proves that our past performances have not been ideal. We have not pyed well. But no individual or team is perfect. We are all learning from stant failures and growing through difficult situations. We lost 0-1 at home to Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League, and everyone wrote us off. But what happened?"

  "We reversed Arsenal at Highbury and qualified for the quarter-finals. But before the Highbury match, who believed we could do it?"

  The se fell silent.

  Faced with undeniable results, even the most articute media reporters could only aowledge the facts.

  "What do you mean? You still want to lead Real Madrid and create another miracle like Highbury?" It was the same reporter from Catalonia.

  He seemed i on pig a fight.

  "Why not?" Gao Shen asked back with a smile, secretly cursing in his heart. Troublemakers are indeed everywhere.

  "Now, there are 12 rounds left in the league. You say we have no ce of reversing Bara. Isn't this the same as before the Highbury match, when you thought we had already lost?"

  "Whether it's a humiliati or a ten-point g, these all tell us that we are far from satisfied and far from the time to celebrate. We still have a long and arduous journey ahead."

  "We are not out of the crisis yet."

  "The world is fair. If we want to gain something, we must work hard. Especially when our oppos are als hard, we o double or even triple our efforts to have a ce. It's hard to catch up, but I'm sure our pyers do it."

  "They are wearing Real Madrid's jerseys, representing the best team in the world. They are the best, bravest, and stro fighters. No matter what difficulties they enter, they are fearless."

  Speaking of this, Gao Shen g the pyers in front of him and found that they had differeions. The younger ones, like Ramos, were already too excited and almost stood up to suppao Shen.

  Oher hand, pyers like Zidane and Beckham appeared calm.

  All of this was as expected.

  This was just the beginning.

  He wao fan the fmes even more.

  "Just noorter asked me about Real Madrid's goal. My answer was actually reserved, but now I don't think it's necessary to hold baymore."

  "I think we have only one goal: to reverse the standings, end Bara's reign in La Liga, and win the La Liga championship this season!"

  Gao Shen said it loudly and powerfully. The media reporters present immediately frowned.

  No one expected Gao Shen to suddenly shout such a slogan.

  What is he trying to do?

  Deg war on Bara?

  Last time, it was in this ference hall that Gao Shen decred war on the superstar.

  Now, he actually decred war on Bara.

  This is going to be crazy!
