(3/6)

  Gao Shen could feel the ge iitude of Real Madrid fans towards him from some details.

  For example, at the Capital Airport st night, many people were shouting his name.

  Also, this m, in the freshly released major neers, more of his name began to appear, and there were even special reports about him, all positive.

  Even when he went out in the m to buy breakfast, pick up a neer, and ride his bicycle to Valdebebas, he met Real Madrid fans. Many of them reized him, and some even took the initiative to say hello to him.

  When he arrived at Valdebebas, the fans who came early to watch the team's open training reized him from a distand blocked him outside the small door o the training ground. They treated him like a star, asking for photos and autographs.

  All of these made Gao Shen feel very happy.

  Who truly be fttered and humiliated? A lot of times, the posure in front of people is just an act, and the heart is actually happy, and no one is exempt from it.

  After finally getting rid of the enthusiastis aering Valdebebas, Gao Shen saw the smiling security captain head-on. The captain had withe whole process of Gao Shen's transformation from a ridiculed figure to a current hero of Real Madrid.

  "Being a star is not fun at all," Gao Sheeo pin to the security captain while pushing his bicycle away.

  The security captai behind, muttered in his heart: Not fun? Look hoy you are!

  He looked back at the fans outside the gate. There were many young aiful female fans who were chasing after Gao Shen for a photo and autograph just now.

  Youth is wonderful!

  Back then, when I was young, I was also very handsome, and there were so many girls who liked me. At that time, I...

  ...

  Gao Shen arrived at the coach's offi the training building.

  As usual, three dots prepared for him by the team doctor, Bueura, and Lucas were on his desk: the pyer's physical report, physical fitness report, and game analysis report.

  After the pyers arrived at the training base, the team doctors and Bueura would also follow up with the pyers.

  These reports were the basis fao Shen and the coag staff to formute training pns and game arras, especially for the injured pyers.

  Therefore, it was ary for the io report to the team one hour in advance.

  Gao Shen read several reports. Real Madrid's situation was not bad at present, and injuries were well trolled.

  Woodgate was an old patient, and Gao Shen had never dared to use him excessively, giving him plenty of rest time. Although the pressure of the game was very high, the pressure of internal petition was ne. Coupled with the care of the team dao Shen's good unication with him meant Woodgate had no major injuries.

  But Gao Shen didn't dare to be careless about it.

  Real Madrid now had three tral defenders. If Woodgate fell, it would be a disaster.

  And De Red.

  The Real Madrid teenager had pletely gained a firm foothold under Gao Shen, but everyo very strahat Gao Shen asked De Red to have a heart check every week.

  Obviously not sick, why do you still do it?

  De Red also asked Gao Shen in private, but Gao Shen really couldn't find a suitable reason, so he could only put on an air of a domineering president and answered him with three words, "I'm happy!"

  Fortunately, this iion didn't waste much time. De Red respected Gao Shen more and more, so he could only obey.

  The team would py Juventus Wednesday night, and this game was also crucial.

  After a full calcution, Real Madrid only had three days to rest. This time, Gao Shen was not pnning to take a holiday. He had to hurry up and aargeted attack drill. The key point was to practice how to break Juventus's goal at the Bernabeu.

  Bueura's report pointed out that the pyer's ption was very high, and the hree days o be well-rested.

  Even so, he couldn't guarahat the team could face Juventus in the best state; he could only do his best.

  Gao Shen also uood this.

  Lucas retly raween the UK and Spain. While studying data analysis, he was still w at Real Madrid. A data report every day had bee his extracurricur homework.

  But in today's report, in addition to some data analysis of st night's game and the statistics of pyers' mistakes, there was also a judgment oure situation and a description of the team's current situation.

  This m, Gao Shen read Cruyff's n in the neer, which stated that there has never been a team in the history of La Liga that has successfully e back from a ten-point deficit, so he cluded that Real Madrid would not succeed.

  This was not without foundation.

  Acc to the report by Lucas, the most disparate case of winning the championship in La Liga history was in the 1998-1999 season. At that time, the chairman of Bara was Nunes, Gaspart was still the greatest vice-chairman of Bara, and Laporta was still w as his wyer. The head coach was Van Gaal, whom Cruyff was relut to mention.

  Ih round of La Liga, Bara trailed the leader Real Mallorca by nine points. But in the following 24 rounds, Bara chased all the way, creating an impressive record of 17 wins, 3 draws, and one loss in the 20 rounds, reversing the championship, and achieving the most disparate case of reversing the championship in La Liga history.

  But in fact, this case is quite watered down.

  Why?

  Because at the end of the season, Real Mallorca, the leader at the time, only rahird in La Liga, while Real Madrid, which was somewhat petitive to Bara, was only six points ahead of Bara at most.

  Everyone could see that a team like Real Mallorca was definitely inferior to Bara and Real Madrid in terms of staying power.

  In trast, the other case given in the Lucas report was more ret and more violent.

  That is Valencia under Benitez.

  In the 2003-04 season, Valencia fell behind Real Madrid by as many as eight points after the twenty-sixth round. But in the following 12 rounds, they surpassed Real Madrid in one go with ten wins, one draw, and one loss. They locked the league championship two rounds ahead of schedule.

  But in that season, Valencia had always been one of the most petitive teams in La Liga.

  In the fifth round, the Bat Legio Super Depor and Real Madrid to the top. Although they were kicked down in the eighth round, Valencia reached the top twi the tenth and thirteenth rounds. In the eenth and tweh rounds, they also became the league leaders again.

  It be said that the Bat Legion was still very strong that season.

  But things are markedly different for Real Madrid this season.

  Although in the ninth ah rounds, Real Madrid was tied with Osasuna for the first pce, the results had not been satisfactory, especially in the eighteenth round, when the rankio sixth in the league, behind Bara by as much as 13 points.

  When Gao Shen took over, he was still ten points behind Bara.

  In terms of the league enviro, the current Real Madrid is far inferior to Van Gaal's Bara, and in terms of overall petitiveness, Real Madrid is not as good as Benitez's Valencia.

  It be said that in terms of how bad it is, this current Real Madrid is worse than Van Gaal's Bara aez's Valencia.

  If you add that Gao Shen is Real Madrid's third head coach this season, the team has experienced infighting among superstars, gang struggles in the locker room, ges in the chairman and high-level turmoil, and Gao Shen took office at the age of 25.

  It definitely be said that so far this season, Real Madrid's experience has been cssic.

  But it is not enough to reverse Bara iandings.

  ...

  "How is it? Do you feel the pressure on your shoulders is heavier?"

  While looking at the report and thinking deeply, Lucas walked in quietly.

  Behind him was Bueura.

  "It's really difficult," Gao Shen sighed heavily. "However, to get to this point, you have to do your best and keep pushing forward. Otherwise, all your hard work and efforts in the past will be in vain."

  Lucas and Bueura looked at each other, and both saw admiration in each other's eyes.

  Especially Bueura.

  Although it was the first cooperation, he saw a lot ht spots from Gao Shen, which left a deep impression on him.

  "To be ho, Fernando, I don't think the examples you gave are good enough," Gao Shen clicked his tongue critically and hahe analysis report to Lucas.

  "Why?"

  "I missed one of the most cssid most iious."

  Lucas frowned, uo remember.

  Bueura had a fsh of inspiration on the side and blurted out: "Maer United in the 1995-1996 season!"

  "That's right!" Gao Shen cpped his hands vigorously, and the look in Bueura's eyes ged a bit. The hero saw the same thing.

  "Many people misrepresented, but Maer United are not 12 points behind Newcastle."

  Not only was Lucas surprised, even Bueura was a little surprised.

  "After half the Premier League, Newcastle scored 45 points, Maer United were sed with 35 points, ten points behind. But ih round, Maer United, with goals from Cole and Keane, beat Newcastle 2-0, narrowing the gap to seven points. Iwenty-first round, Maer United pyed one mame and mao catch up to four points."

  "But it's a pity that, just when it looked like they were going te ahead, Maer United first lost to Tottenham Hotspur 1-4 on the road, and then drew 0-0 with Aston Vil at home. All at ohey dropped to third, nine points behind Newcastle, with one mame pyed than the Magpies."

  The 12-point gap that many people misreported was actually because Newcastle had pyed one fewer game.

  Gao Shen was iactical library st night, carefully studying Ferguson's thrilling past. He felt the various challehat Ferguson entered and his various g strategies.

  He finally came to a clusion.

  The real Maer United's reversal of Newcastle was far more difficult and legendary than the rumors of chasing a twelve-point deficit suggested.

  Why?

  Because Ferguson's team was only four points behind at one point, but then they suffered a setback, and the gap widened again. If it were any other team, they would have colpsed long ago.

  But Ferguson and Maer United did not.

  Not only did they not colpse, but the team regrouped and learned from their previous experiences. In their sed pursuit of Newcastle, they overtook their oppos in one go and climbed to the top of the league.

  When Gao Shen saw this episode, he wondered in his heart, does Real Madrid at this moment look like Maer United when they first approached Newcastle?

  It's simir: defeating the oppo in a direct frontation, closing the gap with one decisive move, having morale sky-high, and victory within reach...

  Right now, it feels just like that moment.
