Chapter 77 Is he really a genius?

In the last few minutes, Barcelona really launched an attack like crazy.

Gao Shen truly experienced what it meant to feel like every second felt like an age.

He was almost counting on his fingers, waiting anxiously for the whistle to sound at the end of the game.

Rijkaard's team had an overwhelming advantage in the first eighty minutes. Except for the defensive data, they had absolute advantages in all aspects, but they just couldn't break Real Madrid's goal.

The same is true for the last few minutes.

Gao Shen kept reminding the players on the sidelines, and Real Madrid's players were in high spirits, defending even more vigorously than before.

The more Barcelona played, the more anxious they became. The more anxious they were, the more chaotic they became, and the more likely they were to make mistakes.

Even though at the end, all 100,000 fans in Camp Nou were cheering for Barcelona, when the game was about to enter overtime, Barcelona's players began to lose heart.

Especially in the 89th minute, captain Puyol fell to the ground when competing with Guti for the ball and never got up again. Rijkaard was forced to replace Puyol with Gabri.

From this moment on, Barcelona's momentum was completely gone.

Entering the overtime, it was difficult for Barcelona to organize a decent attack.

Real Madrid also consumed a lot of energy and had no intention of organizing an attack.

Time slowly elapses.

…

When referee Brewer blew the whistle to end the game, there were cries of grief at the Camp Nou.

The live TV camera swept across the Barcelona players on the field. Each of them had an extremely painful expression. It was obvious that they could not accept such a defeat, even Deco and Ronaldinho, who performed the best on the team.

As Barcelona's top player, Ronaldinho was restricted by Real Madrid's right defense throughout the game. Although he often ran back to the center, he was also helpless against the double defensive midfielders of De La Red and Gravesen.

The camera swept across the home team's coaching bench. Rijkaard and Ten Cate were both sitting in the coaching bench, making it difficult to see their expressions, but it seemed that at this moment, they would be extremely disappointed with the result.

The camera moves upwards, and in every frozen frame in the stands, there are Barcelona fans covering their faces and crying.

Zero to one!

As excited and expectant as they were before the game, as disappointed they were at this moment.

Did Barcelona's players not perform well enough? Did they not work hard enough?

Obviously not.

But Real Madrid players worked too hard!

Logically, they should be able to accept losing to such a team, but this team is called Real Madrid, and this game is the most important championship battle so far this season.

How can they accept this?

…

In the presidential stands, when Brewer blew his whistle, Butragueno excitedly stood up from his seat, raised his arms high, and gave a very satisfying cheer like the Real Madrid fans in the corner.

The Barcelona executives sitting next to him looked extremely embarrassed, disappointed, and even angry at this moment.

I just said too much confidence and now I’m slapped in the face!

Butragueno is the head of the public relations department. He has always attached great importance to manners and is very gentlemanly in what he says and does. This prevents him from doing anything to take advantage of others' misfortunes. But even so, he still turned around and looked at the leaders of Barcelona with a smile.

"I said, the outcome is still unknown."

The faces of Laporta, Etxebarria and others were very ugly.

The more arrogant they were just now, the more embarrassed they are at this moment.

They just couldn't figure out why Real Madrid won?

Why can a 25-year-old rookie bring such a revolutionary transformation to Real Madrid?

Could it be that he is really a genius?

But we have only heard of geniuses being born on the football field, but when have we ever heard of young geniuses appearing in the coaching booth?

But if he is not a genius, how do you explain what he has done at Real Madrid?

Ugly? Ugly? Conservative?

All of this becomes insignificant in the face of real three-pointers and the championship situation.

Butragueno was also in a state of ecstasy.

In fact, he didn't know how Gao Shen did it, because in his eyes, Gao Shen was a mystery from beginning to end.

For example, De La Red, Negredo, Arbeloa and Felipe, these players were in the Real Madrid youth team before, and they were not unknown, but no one used them and no one cared about them.

Once they were used to their full potential, they immediately became the backbone of Real Madrid.

There is also Lorenzo Buenaventura. This fitness coach is not completely unknown, but the level of his team, Cadiz, is not very high. However, Gao Shen is very sincere to him and let him take charge of the training as soon as he arrived. But what about him?

Look at Real Madrid's running ability tonight. Compared with other teams, it may not be considered good, but compared with the previous Real Madrid, the gap is really huge. The improvement is visible to the naked eye. This is definitely a talent.

But the question is, how did Gao Shen dig them out?

Especially when you see how Gao Shen values them, it seems as if he has almost determined from the very beginning that these people will succeed and will be able to help him. Could he have predicted the future?

Butragueno never believed that anyone could predict the future. He could only think that it was because of his amazing vision that he could see things that others could not see, so he could discover so many talents.

More importantly, the Real Madrid locker room under Gao Shen's coaching gradually got back on track.

When Ronaldo scored the goal just now, Ramos rushed out to celebrate with him.

Maybe there are still some grudges between them, but at least on the court, they are a team, and that's enough.

If Real Madrid had been able to do this earlier, how could it have fallen to this point?

Only two points left!

Butragueno couldn't help laughing at the thought.

From being ten points behind to now only two points behind, there are still seven rounds left in the league, which is enough.

Especially for Barcelona, after suffering such a blow tonight, how can they not make mistakes in the next seven rounds?

If we don't adjust well, we might die at the hands of Benfica next Wednesday.

Barcelona's management became increasingly embarrassed when they saw Butragueno was laughing.

Damn, this is so embarrassing!

…

Gao Shen hugged the Real Madrid players who walked off the field one by one and gave each of them a word of affirmation and praise.

Especially Ronaldo.

Gao Shen smiled and hugged the Brazilian superstar, "Well done, especially your hard work, we all saw it."

Ronaldo was also in a good mood. He was very happy to score a goal after coming on as a substitute.

But he also heard the profound hidden meaning.

Gao Shen never mentioned the goal and only praised his efforts, which proved that what Gao Shen wanted was his attitude.

It is true that Ronaldo scored the goal, but the alien himself knew clearly how the goal came about.

If there hadn't been sophisticated tactical arrangements, if there hadn't been the hard work of other teammates throughout the game, if Negredo hadn't suffered cramps when the whistle sounded, if there hadn't been the efforts of Raul, Zidane, Guti and others, could he have scored this goal?

Gao Shen's words were both a compliment and a warning, for fear that he would become proud again after scoring a goal.

"Thank you." Ronaldo is a smart man and nodded his thanks immediately. "I cherish this opportunity to play. Whether it's training or a game, whether I'm a starter or a substitute, I will give my best performance."

Gao Shen smiled with satisfaction and patted Ronaldo on the shoulder. "After returning to Madrid, talk to the other people. If they are willing, they can come to me at any time."

Ronaldo was a little surprised, but he soon understood.

Gao Shen has given the green light to the Brazilian gang.

This is normal, as Real Madrid is in need of players right now.

Although a lot of people were transferred from the second team, to be honest, they are still inferior to several Brazilian players.

For example, Callejon is indeed good and has potential, but compared with Robinho, he is obviously far behind .

Of course, Robinho's problem was that he was too sticky to the ball, which led to missed opportunities.

…

After Gao Shen sent the players away on the sidelines, he spoke a few words to Rijkaard.

But it was obvious that the Barcelona coach was in a very bad mood and didn't want to say much to Gao Shen.

When I returned to the locker room, I could hear the Real Madrid players cheering and celebrating from afar. I could also faintly hear someone mentioning Gao Shen, and their words and tone were full of respect and admiration.

During this period, the changes in the team are visible even to outsiders, let alone the players of Real Madrid?

They opposed Gao Shen's coaching from the beginning because they thought he was not capable of leading the team. But now, the coaching ability demonstrated by Gao Shen has shocked and impressed them, and they are naturally convinced.

Even unruly superstars like Ronaldo and Zidane, when it comes to profoundness, aren't they all convinced?

I'm afraid the only one in the team who still has a problem with Gao Shen is Robert Carlos.

But everyone knows that this is more of a personal grudge.

When Gao Shen pushed open the door and walked into the locker room, everyone gathered around him as soon as they saw him.

At such times, Gao Shen was not stingy with his praise at all, and he gave it all out as if it were free. He was so eloquent in praising the players without repeating himself, and he praised everyone to the point of being delighted and jumping for joy.

This also made Maqueda, Lucas, Buenaventura and others on the side admire it.

Being able to praise others is actually a skill.

In the end, Gao Shen got so excited that he started praising the members of the coaching staff as well.

Anyone could see that he was in a very good mood tonight.

Just as Maquida was about to turn around and walk out, Gao Shen stopped him.

"You take a rest tonight. I will go to this press conference!" Gao Shen stopped Maqueda, patted his chest, and had a righteous expression.

This made Maqueda stunned, "You...you want to go?"

"Yes, I'm going to meet these damn uncrowned kings!" Gao Shen said with ill intention.

Anyone can see what he wants to do.

"No... No, I can handle them, I..."

"I know you've suffered during this period of time. I will avenge you tonight!"

Maqueda almost cried when he heard this.
