Real Madrid finally defeated Deportivo 2-0 at home, avenging their loss in the first round of the season.

  Not only that, after winning this game, Real Madrid mao close the points gap with Bara to just five points.

  This is no longer an insurmountable gap.

  Since Gao Shen took over Real Madrid, the team has stumbled, but it has now won five secutive victories.

  More importantly, in the past four La Liga rounds, Real Madrid has not ceded a single goal.

  Such a performance is quite amazing, even by the standards of a top team, not to mention the miraculous eback at Highbury.

  Alfredo, the editor-in-chief of *Aspen*, said in his n that Gao Shen is gradually earning the trust of everyone.

  De La Morena also revealed in his program that he is rethinking the correess of Gao Shen's appoi as Real Madrid coach.

  Real Madrid captain Raul said that the team's training level has signifitly improved pared to the past, and the team's dition is also rec rapidly.

  "My teammates and I are fident that we will get back to our best form before the national derby. We will win at Camp Nou to further narrow the points gap."

  De Morena revealed that if Real Madrid beat Bara at Camp Nou, the points difference will be reduced to two, putting all the pressure on Bara.

  From a ten-poio being chased down to only two points, Bara's psychological pressure be imagined.

  At that time, if Barakes a mistake in any game, Real Madrid would overtake them.

  De Morena said that under Gao Shen's coag, Real Madrid is very stable, with solid defeable game processes, and few mistakes, which is reassuring.

  "The only fw is that Real Madrid is not attag enough!"

  But it was this farked a wave of criticism and accusations from the Spanish media after the victory over Deportivo.

  Many media believe that Real Madrid should have won a big victory at the Bernabeu but were too servative.

  Whether it was the steady defeacti the sed half or the three substitution adjustments, they were all for defense, aivo almost scored, which was pletely different from the opening game.

  Some media believe that under Gao Shen, Real Madrid has lost the smooth offensive cooperation of the past. Even if they won two goals against Deportivo, one was an own goal and the other was a set-piece py. There was no sign of the exg attag football of the past.

  Not only the media, but many fans were also dissatisfied with the team's performahinking it was too servative.

  Real Madrid board member and famous Madrid wyer Calderon said in an interview with the media after the game that although the team won, it lost the tradition and elegance of Real Madrid.

  "What we saw in this game was not Real Madrid, but an ordinary team that is no different from others."

  Calderon said the board of directors is not satisfied with Real Madrid's ret performance. Although the ma has rehe tract with Gao Shen, it will only st until the end of the season. The ma is looking for a more suitable head coach.

  "We are a ueam. It's not enough to just win games; we have to please the fans."

  Calderon revealed that Real Madrid's ma has basically shortlisted seven coaches: Ai, Mourinho, Capello, Benitez, Wenger, Eriksen, and Lippi.

  "From a coag style perspective, we prefer Ai and Wenger, but this requires good unication with A and Arsenal. However, we believe that these two managers will also be ied in coag Real Madrid."

  After Calderon's interview, *Marca* revealed that A had actually given Ai the green light to coach Real Madrid, which was firmed by *Gazzetta dello Sport*, indig that the two sides were very close.

  "When Ai joins Real Madrid, the first thing he will do is bring his two favorite pyers, Pirlo and Kaka, to Real Madrid!"

  While one side of the media was rep this, *Aspen* revealed that under pressure from the board of directors, Real Madrid will restart the presidential ele this summer. Chairman Martin is pnning to use the return of Bosque and Hierro to boost his presidential campaign.

  *Aspen* also revealed that former Real Madrid president Florentino did not rule out the possibility of re-running.

  Fiat Trainier, Turin, Italy.

  Juventus coach Capello was browsing the test neers, but he was not surprised by the stras happening in Madrid, Spain.

  "Italo, do you know? On this phere should be only ohat would retaliate against its coach with news of a coag ge after five secutive victories," Capello sneered, finding it inprehensible.

  Assistant coach Italo Gabbiati uood Capello's thoughts, as he had experiehe same when coag Real Madrid.

  Even i years, Real Madrid has always had a tradition of firing champion coaches.

  Moreover, that young man named Gao Shen hasn't even won a championship yet.

  "The membership system is like this, the ele system, everything is for votes, and only by catering to the fans as much as possible we win votes. Ordinary fans are ofteional and idealistic. They not only want to win but also want to wiifully. However, they never sider if their team has such strength," Gabbiati sneered.

  Capello shook his head, "No, they have sidered it, and the clusion should be affirmative."

  Gabbiati was stunned for a moment, then ughed.

  Isn't it true?

  What level of superstars are Ronaldo and Zidane?

  Raul, Beckham, Carlos, Casils, Guti...

  Even if Figo is gone, Real Madrid is still full of superstars.

  Would such a team be weak?

  Back then, when Capello was coag Real Madrid, he won the league championship but was fired because he didn't py well enough.

  His successor Heynckes evehe team to the Champions League, but what happened?

  Wasn't he also dismissed?

  Bosque, the most successful firefighting coa Real Madrid's history, won a championship every year and was still fired.

  What other team in the world would like Real Madrid to scramble for famous coaches from all over the world?

  "Italo, do you know?" Capello suddenly ughed out loud, "I feel that Real Madrid is like a scumbag who always gives up, and in his eyes, we are all love-struck fools. He hooks his finger, and we hurry to get close. What kind of psychology is this?"

  Gabbiati didn't ugh because he khat Capello was ughing at himself.

  Real Madrid had indeed tacted Capello, and he was really tempted, but Juventus ma promised that the front trident would definitely stay after the end of this season. Thus, Capello had already itted to ahree years at Juventus.

  But when faced with Real Madrid's being, he was iempted.

  "Don't talk about that." Capello waved his hand, "Have the scoutiment send over the video of Real Madrid's game against Deportivo. This young ese boy still has something to lead the team to five secutive victories."

  Gabbiati also picked up his mood, nodded, and said, "Real Madrid's defense has indeed improved signifitly pared to before. However, in the game against Deportivo, many main pyers pyed, and it likely took a toll."

  "How is Real Madrid's ret physical fitness? What is the training level?" Capello asked with .

  Gabbiati shook his head, "From the perspective of the game, it seems to be better than before, but retly, there has been much less news from the Real Madrid training base than before, and the trol is stricter, which is probably the doing of the ese boy."

  "This kid is quite capable," Capello praised with a smile.

  In the past, Real Madrid's information was really easy to get. You didn't evee for someoo spy; you could see it directly in the neers. Real Madrid was like an open book, avaible for everyoo read.

  But now it's different; at least they're covered up.

  "I guess his pn is to keep a draw on the road and go all out wheurns home," Gabbiati guessed.

  Capello nodded, "The pn is solid: pyiivo on the weekend, fag us away midweek, visiting Camp Nou on the weekend, pying the sed leg with us midweek week, and pying against Real Sociedad the following weekend. Five tough matches, so it's unrealistic to expect to win them all."

  Gabbiati agreed, "Young people are eic, but sometimes they have unrealistitasies."

  "Then at the Alp Stadium, let's bring him back to reality," Capello said fiercely.

  ---

  Gao Shen saw the neer early in the m, including Calderon's interview and other media reports.

  There may be some truth to it.

  It's that Real Madrid wants to choose a coach for the long term. Even Gao Shen himself felt that after this season, it might be time to step down from Real Madrid's coag position.

  He was just curious. Under his butterfly effect, could Calderon actually terattad bee the president of Real Madrid?

  There is no doubt that Real Madrid is the most ueam in world football.

  Whether it's a superstar or a famous coach, they all take pride in joining Real Madrid.

  But unfortunately, Gao She like being a pdog.

  So, these external reports are of no use to him.

  This stint with Real Madrid feels more like a one-night stand—each taking what they need. As for the future, there may be none.

  After pyiivo, his focus was on the game against Juventus.

  No team is perfect, and Juventus is no exception.

  This team's lineup seems strong, but behind the strength, there are often weaknesses and deficies.

  In his memory, Juventus did not reach the Champions League semi-finals this season but lost to Arsenal.

  If I remember correctly, in the first round at Highbury Stadium, Juventus paid a heavy price with two goals ceded and two red cards, losing their ce for promotion. They then drew 0-0 with Arsenal at home, failing to advance.

  It shows that this Juventus team is not as strong as it appears on the surface.

  So, what is their problem?

  Gao Shen had a faint feeling that identifying this would be the key for Real Madrid to defeat Juventus and secure promotion.
