Chapter 12 I want to see how you die!
Gao Shen and Beckham parted ways in the parking lot.
One went to the locker room and the other went to the coach's office.
This conversation did not produce any results, because Gao Shen was unable to make any strong promises to Beckham, and Beckham naturally could not agree to anything from Gao Shen.
However, during the conversation, Gao Shen revealed his feelings to Beckham.
He believes that Beckham is by no means an idol star in the eyes of many people. Although he has a lot of off-field social engagements, this has not affected his performance on the field at all. Gao Shen even told Beckham clearly that in the first round of the Champions League round of 16 when Real Madrid lost to Arsenal, if there was any superstar who could walk out of the Bernabeu with his head held high, it must be Beckham.
"I always think that you should be one of the most decisive players in the team and you should be in the position where you can play your most threatening role, on the right side, rather than in the middle."
Beckham's cross is definitely one of the best in history, but this requires someone to receive it in the middle of the frontcourt. And the whole world knows that Ronaldo is not good at heading, and the Brazilian prefers to solve the problem with his feet.
At Manchester United, Beckham's best partner is Van Nistelrooy, a center forward with extremely high scoring efficiency.
Over the years, the reason why Van Nistelrooy was not interested in Cristiano Ronaldo was precisely because he missed Beckham who had sent him countless shots on the right.
The performances of the Portuguese and the English on the right side are completely different.
Ronaldo, Raul, Cassano, and even Baptista who was temporarily pushed to the front line, they are not center forwards in the traditional sense, which seriously weakened Beckham's role on the right. In addition, there was a shortage of people in the defensive midfield, and Figo was on the right before , so Beckham was naturally moved to the defensive midfielder position.
Gao Shen's words told Beckham that the Beckham on the right is the real Beckham.
The two talked for nearly twenty minutes, and Gao Shen expressed his positioning and expectations of Beckham without reservation, but Beckham was not convinced by Gao Shen, let alone promised to play for him on the spot.
These are all YY plots in online novels. In real life, it is not easy to convince someone.
After all, in this club, in this training base, no one believes that Gao Shen can last long.
Almost everyone concluded that he was a pawn of the new chairman Martin, used to suppress and weaken the superstars in the team, while also preparing for Bosque's return to the Bernabeu.
In this case, who would be willing to promise anything to Gao Shen? Who would be willing to believe any of Gao Shen’s promises?
In the end, Beckham simply stated that he was a professional player signed by Real Madrid.
"Don't worry, as long as I am still wearing this jersey and as long as I can still play, I will fight to the end. This is my professional ethics!"
Beckham said and left.
He didn't say that he would support Gao Shen, nor did he even guarantee that he would not oppose Gao Shen's coaching, but this was enough.
If Beckham agreed too lightly, Gao Shen should be worried.
Like now, at least it proves that he will consider it.
…
As soon as I approached the coach's office, Fernando Lucas came up to me with a test report from the team doctor.
De La Red went to a nearby hospital with the team doctor yesterday for a very detailed physical examination, especially for his heart. The results showed that he is now very healthy and has no heart problems.
This made Gao Shen a little puzzled. Could it be that Delared's illness came later?
But no matter what, at least it proves that Delared can be used with confidence now.
"The office just received a fax from the French Football Association." Fernando Lucas reported quietly.
Gao Shen was a little surprised, "What's the matter?"
"France coach Domenech hopes that we can let Zidane play in a French national team match between the 27th and 28th rounds in mid-March, against Slovenia."
Generally speaking, when the national team calls up international players, it has to send a fax to the club in advance. Only after the head coach's confirmation can the players leave the team and report to the national team. So sometimes, the club head coach will even refuse the national team call-up.
Gao Shen was just worrying about not having the chance to talk to Zidane, and the French Football Association directly handed him a pillow.
"Do you want to take advantage of this call-up to talk to Zidane?" Lucas raised his eyebrows.
The "talk" he mentioned was obviously not the same as what Gao Shen had in mind.
Gao Shen understood what Lucas meant, which was to take advantage of Zidane's request to the head coach to put some pressure on him.
But he wasn't going to do that.
This kind of cleverness works for some people, but not for others, and Zidane is undoubtedly the latter.
More importantly, Zidane's position in the national team is very solid. Judging from the process of the World Cup in Germany, Domenech is very open-hearted to Zidane and even builds the team's tactics around him. So strictly speaking, this warm-up match is just for training and observing the players. Whether Zidane goes or not will not affect his position in the national team.
If Gao Shen uses this call to make a fuss, wouldn't that be a waste of his villainy?
Something like a structure must exist no matter what.
As the president of Real Madrid, Calderon is ridiculed as a clown, while Florentino is praised as a tycoon by the world. The reason lies in the different vision of the two men.
"You are still a little naive." Gao Shen looked at Lucas earnestly and shook his head.
Seeing Gao Shen walk into the coach's office, Lucas was puzzled. What do you mean I am still a little inexperienced?
You sound so old-fashioned. How old are you, brother?
However, it must be said that Gao Shen's behavior has really changed a lot in the past two days. He is like a completely different person from before, making Lucas feel very unfamiliar.
Maybe, this is what a man is!
Isn’t there a saying?
Power is a man's courage!
…
In European football, the so-called hiring of a head coach actually means hiring the entire team headed by the head coach.
The number of members in the team is negotiated by the head coach and the club. Under normal circumstances, there are four or five people, and they all advance and retreat together.
But there are some special cases.
After Luxemburg was sacked, he took away his entire coaching team, leaving behind the coaches hired by Real Madrid themselves. After Carlo was promoted from the second team to the first team, he actually only brought one assistant coach, Maqueda, while the rest remained with the original first team team without any changes.
As for Gao Shen, he is actually just an intern and does not count as one of them at all. He is just like a temporary worker who does odd jobs and runs errands.
Every morning, before the team's training session, the coaching staff will hold a meeting, usually with the head coach in charge, to explain the schedule for the next session, or the entire day's training session, and to put forward their own requirements for some specific projects, such as what goals they want to achieve and what results they expect to achieve.
For example, at Manchester United, Ferguson stopped taking charge of training for many years and left all matters to Queiroz. He was only responsible for targeted tactics and made demands on the coaching staff every day. He was not even responsible for targeted tactical drills.
As he gets older and has limited energy, he can no longer take care of so many things.
When Gao Shen walked into the coach's office, he happened to see assistant coach Maqueda meeting with the first-team coaches, explaining the program arrangements and precautions for today's training.
Maqueda was a Real Madrid player. After Carlo left, he was the most senior person in the office. Everyone was used to listening to his arrangements, and it all seemed to be natural and logical.
After seeing Gao Shen walk in, Maqueda just glanced at him, said nothing, and continued to explain the training tasks.
Although others were a little surprised, and some even wanted to say hello to Gao Shen, after seeing Maqueda's attitude, they all fell silent and continued to record Maqueda's arrangements.
After all, no one knows how long Gao Shen can stay in this position.
Maqueda was very satisfied with this situation. It was not impossible for him to sideline Gao Shen or even replace him.
But at this moment, Gao Shen, who had said yesterday that everything would be arranged by Maqueda, suddenly interrupted Maqueda forcefully.
"Let me say a few words!" Gao Shen's voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible.
Everyone looked over in surprise, and Maqueda was filled with anger.
However, the assistant coach quickly calmed down and forced out a cold smile, "Okay, tell me."
Who made me an assistant coach?
"Today's morning training will still be carried out according to the previous arrangement, but I hope to adjust it in the afternoon and have a split-team match. I will draw up a list of specific split teams later and you can make the arrangements."
Gao Shen's words surprised everyone present. Dividing the competition into teams, is this to select the players for the weekend's competition?
"Is it a small area or half the court?" asked Maqueda.
"All eleven."
Everyone immediately started talking about it . If they were to compete in teams during the middle of the week, with eleven players at that, it would be close to actual combat.
Lucas secretly gave Gao Shen a thumbs up, saying that he did a great job and took back the power of head coach in a fair and justifiable manner.
"Gao, I have to remind you of something." Maqueda looked around and pointed at Gao Shen rudely and said, "We have a lot of injured players in the team now, especially in the defense. There are basically no people available. There is a derby in the same city this weekend. Ramos will be suspended, Woodgate has not fully recovered, and we only have one central defender left, Elguera. If he gets injured again..."
Gao Shen didn't let him finish his words, but waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, our players are not that valuable. Just pay attention when the time comes. Besides, our training intensity has never been high. Playing a team match in the middle of the week will just stimulate our condition."
Maquida felt even more ashamed and annoyed as he was repeatedly interrupted by Gao Shen.
Even when Carlo was around, he was very respectful to her. How could she be so disgusted with him?
"Okay, then let's start making arrangements." Maquida gritted his teeth, but in his heart he was complaining: I just want to see how you die!
Gao Shen could see that Maquida's eyes were about to spit fire, but he had no time to pay attention to this person.
Every minute is very precious to him now. He must make all preparations before the weekend's city derby so that the team can beat Atletico Madrid at the weekend.
But he didn't expect that Ramos would be suspended this weekend. He didn't know about it before.
But thinking back, it is true that Ramos had to be suspended for one game due to accumulated yellow cards.
However, in this case, some adjustments will have to be made to the selection of central defenders in Gaoshen's defense line.
Does this mean that Raul Bravo and Elguera are really going to partner as central defenders?
Faced with such twists and turns, Gao Shen had no choice.
The most important thing for him right now is to talk to Zidane and Woodgate first.
