Chapter 59 This time a goal was actually scored!
At night, the Bernabeu Stadium is brightly lit.
Caparros saw the depth of the stadium from the moment he walked into it.
He has a neat short haircut, a handsome face according to Western aesthetics, a kind smile, and a simple long-sleeved sports suit, giving him the feeling of a sunny boy.
But Caparros didn't like him.
The first time he heard the name Gao Shen, he didn't like it.
It was a piece of news that Gao Shen was chosen by the new president Martin as the acting head coach of Real Madrid at the age of only 25.
Gao Shen is the youngest head coach in the history of La Liga and the Champions League. Even in the European professional leagues, he should be the youngest.
This is exactly why Caparros doesn't like profound things.
Because no one knows that the 51-year-old Caparros has been coaching for more than 20 years.
He was exactly 25 years old when he first coached alone.
That team was called the San Jose Workers.
This is an amateur team whose name cannot even be found in the Spanish Football Association.
Caparros climbed up the professional league from the amateur league step by step. This process took him more than 20 years. He finally made it to La Liga and did not even have the opportunity to enter the Champions League.
But Gao Shen, an unknown Chinese boy, suddenly became the head coach of Real Madrid at the age of 25.
How much luck is this?
Caparros couldn't understand or accept it, but he was angry and furious.
So, when he saw Gao Shen standing at the entrance of the player tunnel waiting for him with a smile, he greeted him very coldly, shook hands with Gao Shen perfunctorily, and walked towards the visiting team's coaching stand.
He wants to defeat Gao Shen and his Real Madrid!
Why should we be nice to our opponents?
…
"Hey, did this guy take the wrong medicine tonight? Why does he look so angry ?"
When Gao Shen walked back to the home team's coaching booth, Lucas cursed with a puzzled look on his face.
This is indeed very ungentlemanly.
"Maybe it's a psychological tactic, or maybe I'm in a bad mood for a few days every month." Gao Shen didn't take it to heart.
If one still gets angry over such trivial matters in his two lifetimes, then he has lived in vain.
Lucas sensed the evil taste in the second half of the profound sentence and started laughing.
"Just before I left the house, I saw you holding Ramos's hand. What were you talking about?"
Just when everyone was about to leave, Gao Shen suddenly stopped Ramos and gave him a few words of advice.
"Nothing." He smiled mysteriously and shook his head, then reminded, "Have you forgotten? Ramos is Caparros' favorite disciple."
Before coaching Deportivo La Coruna this season, Caparros coached Sevilla for many years. His coaching style has always been known for being simple, rough and bloody, and his style is very tough.
How should I put it? Looking at Ramos' style, you can know what Caparros is like.
This season Ramos transferred to Real Madrid and Caparros coached Deportivo La Coruna. The last time the two sides met was at the Riazor Stadium, where Real Madrid lost 1-3.
Everyone knows that Deportivo La Coruña has always been a victim of Real Madrid. The most famous incident was the centenary celebration of Real Madrid, which was disrupted by Super Deportivo La Coruña. Bosque was therefore hated by Florentino and was eventually fired.
Real Madrid has complicated feelings towards Deportivo La Coruna, and the same is true for Deportivo La Coruna towards Real Madrid.
…
…
As the referee Arturo blew the whistle, the entire Real Madrid team rushed towards Deportivo La Coruña like a thousand arrows, and rushed directly to the front of the defense line in one breath, even approaching the goal.
This level of pressure made it very difficult for Deportivo La Coruña players to cope with it.
Goalkeeper Molina was forced to make a big kick and wanted to go forward to find former Real Madrid winger Munitis, but Arbeloa got there first, snatched the ball from the front, and dribbled the ball across the center line along the right side.
Real Madrid's right back sent a cross that went straight to the front point, where Cassano and Argentine center back Coloccini competed for the header.
The ball was headed out of the penalty area and no shot was made.
The first attack failed to work, but Real Madrid did not retreat and continued to put pressure on Deportivo La Coruña in the frontcourt.
This is equivalent to telling Deportivo La Coruña clearly: I'm going to beat you!
Gao Shen has been the head coach of Real Madrid for three weeks at most.
During these three weeks, whether it was training, daily communication, or the team's tactical meetings, he was trying every way to instill his tactics and requirements into the players, and the team would also arrange targeted drills during training.
For example, if the ball is on one side, what should the closest player do? How should the other players around him run?
At the beginning, Real Madrid players were still a little uncomfortable with the situation, but gradually, they all understood the high requirements.
The team adopts high-pressure pressing, and the entire defense line is pressed very high. There are high requirements for on-the-spot counter-attacks in the frontcourt. It doesn't mean that you must snatch the ball. The most important thing is that every player's tactical execution must be in place.
The players understand all of this and will be more attentive when executing it on the court.
Even people like Cassano and Zidane, if they lose the ball in the frontcourt, will immediately try to counter-attack. Even if it is just a symbolic counter-attack, it can have a certain delaying effect.
If Real Madrid's team pressing and oppression go well, they can directly press Arsenal into the half-court.
After about half a month of polishing, Deportivo La Coruña was forced into a state of disarray and confusion when facing Real Madrid's pressing pressure, and was unable to pass the ball at all.
Just five minutes into the game, defensive midfielder Duscher fouled Cassano while defending on the right side of the penalty area, giving Real Madrid a free kick opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt.
Beckham naturally stood at the penalty spot. Real Madrid's two central defenders and De La Red ran to the front court and came to the penalty area. When Ramos passed by Beckham, he ran over and said a few words to Beckham.
Beckham was a little surprised and turned to look at Gao Shen in front of the home team's coaching booth, his eyes full of questions.
Gao Shen nodded slightly.
The actions of Real Madrid's players and coaches naturally attracted the attention of Deportivo La Coruna head coach Caparros, because Real Madrid's right side was right facing the coaching bench, and Beckham's actions were almost under Caparros' nose.
What's the meaning?
He suddenly had a bad feeling, but he didn't know where to start.
Beckham slowly ran up, drew his bow and shot a curved ball with his right foot.
Inside the restricted area, people were running back and forth, creating chaos.
Gao Shen couldn't figure out what was going on on the sidelines. He just saw Ramos suddenly rushing out. Beckham's free kick landed just on Ramos' head, and the Real Madrid center back headed the ball directly into the goal.
The ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal, hit the leg of right-back Hector in front of the goal line, and deflected into the Deportivo La Coruña goal.
One to zero!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
Ramos jumped up with excitement and was about to rush out of the stadium amid the cheers of Real Madrid fans.
But unexpectedly, the referee signaled that it was an own goal.
Ramos, who was halfway through the run, suddenly slammed on the brakes and stared at the referee with murderous intent in his eyes.
Damn, I was halfway there and you told me it was an own goal?
The Real Madrid fans at the scene were still excited and cheering, and his teammates around him also ran up to celebrate with Ramos, but the Real Madrid center back was depressed.
The goal turned into an assist, so sad!
…
After taking the lead, Real Madrid continued to press Deportivo La Coruna and got a free kick opportunity outside the penalty area, but Beckham's free kick missed.
This wave lasted for nearly ten minutes before Gao Shen on the sidelines signaled Real Madrid to slow down and began to calmly control the game.
La Coruna, who were behind, tried to launch a counterattack but failed to take advantage of Real Madrid's defense.
It was not until the 17th minute that Deportivo La Coruña made its first shot through Tristan.
Afterwards, the two teams continued to be in a stalemate.
Real Madrid focused on stability and was not in a hurry to attack. Deportivo La Coruna was playing away from home and failed to create any threat in several attacks, so they did not dare to press forward blindly.
On the contrary, in the 39th minute, Real Madrid made another breakthrough.
Deportivo La Coruna's left-back Capdevila tripped Beckham while defending on the right side outside the penalty area, giving Real Madrid another free kick opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt.
Almost the same position as last time.
Beckham took the penalty again, and after the previous goal conceded, Deportivo La Coruña obviously took it more seriously.
But even so, Ramos, with the cooperation of his teammates, ran out of the gap, seized an unguarded opportunity, and headed the ball directly. This time the ball went directly into the Deportivo La Coruña's goal.
Ramos was so excited that he rushed to the sidelines and did somersaults continuously to celebrate his goal.
Two to zero!
All Real Madrid players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate Ramos' goal.
This time it was a real goal!
…
"You're amazing, kid! How come you got the ball twice?" Guti asked Ramos with a laugh.
Ramos chuckled and said mysteriously, "Secret."
Everyone laughed and cursed.
"I saw what the head coach said to you before the game. Did he give you any advice?" Raul asked.
Everyone then suddenly realized that they had all seen it.
Ramos saw that he was found out and scratched the back of his head. "Actually , he asked me if I wanted to score a goal tonight. I said, of course I did. So he told me to try hard to score on corner kicks and free kicks in the front court and to cooperate well with David."
Everyone was stunned. That’s it?
Can you score a goal if you want?
Beckham was the first to react. He laughed and said, "The two central defenders of Deportivo La Coruna are not tall. They are about the same height as Sergio, but their jumping ability is..."
Ramos, the man who did consecutive somersaults after scoring a goal just now!
After everyone understood, they looked towards the home team's coaching booth, where Gao Shen was smiling from ear to ear and hugging the coaching staff.
Suddenly, they all realized that, without realizing it, Gao Shen had changed Real Madrid.
And they are also constantly changing their impressions and views of Gaoshen.
Even many people who strongly opposed him at the beginning are now gradually accepting it.
It's not that they accepted the reality and compromised, but because they can all feel that Real Madrid under Gao Shen's coaching is becoming stronger bit by bit, game by game.
Unlike the powerful Galacticos in the past, Gao Shen's Real Madrid has a sense of cohesion.
