One Hundred and Two People Are Not Ready Yet
Why is Ronaldo so eager to score tonight?
Because so far this season, his Champions League report card is zero goals.
During Luxenberg's coaching period, he did not play in the Champions League and focused more on La Liga.
Until Carlo was in charge, in the first round of the knockout round of the Champions League round of 16, he started and played for 90 minutes, but Real Madrid lost 0-1 to Arsenal at the Bernabeu.
At that time, all superstars were criticized overwhelmingly.
Soon, the chairman Florentino also dismissed get out of class, and the vice-chairman Martin replaced him. Then Gao Shen replaced Carlo and became the youngest head coach in the history of Real Madrid and even La Liga.
Although it was only an agent at the time.
Later, Gao Shen started the strategy of suppressing the Brazilian gang and supporting the local gang, and Ronaldo stayed away from the game.
It was said to be more than a month, but in fact, Real Madrid only played two Champions League games, one was an away game against Arsenal, and the other was an away game against Juventus. Ronaldo did not even make the squad for these two games.
In the Bernabeu game against Juventus, Ronaldo scored and came off the bench, but he didn't score.
Facing AC Milan tonight, after winning at home, the away game must be defensive and counterattack.
If you can't score tonight, away goals will be more difficult.
If the team reaches the final, it will be even more difficult to predict the goal.
If Real Madrid can really win the championship, Ronaldo can come to the stage to receive the first, maybe even the only Big Ears Cup in his career, but he didn't even score a single goal as a striker, it would be a huge pity for him , even humiliated.
At that time, what face will he have to tell others that he has also won the Champions League?
As a star, Ronaldo is self-willed, but also very proud.
He didn't want to leave such regret and shame in his career, so when he stepped off the court, he asked Gao Shen to give him more time so that he could score a goal.
He really wants to score a goal!
...
Gao Shen didn't agree to Ronaldo on the spot, he needs to consider everything.
But he appeased the Brazilian,
Let him go back to rest and wait for his decision.
At the moment Ronaldo walked into the player tunnel, Gao Shen also saw the eyes of other Real Madrid players, especially Zidane, Beckham and Raul.
Maybe they have different positions, maybe they have different thinking angles, and there may even be conflicts of interest. However, as a professional player, especially the top professional player in the world, they can all understand Ronaldo's eagerness.
If it was them, they would do the same.
Gao Shen has never played football, but he has felt it from the players.
After sending off all the players, Gao Shen first looked at the warming up substitute players on the field and scratched his chin.
"Fernando, Lorenzo, what do you think?"
Lucas is responsible for data analysis. He has real-time data of players, including players' running and field performance.
"He worked really hard, but his physical fitness was almost exhausted. In the last 15 minutes, his performance was completely down from the first 30 minutes, and all the statistics dropped sharply." Lucas only talked about the statistics. .
Buenaventura sighed, "He's really at the end of his battle."
Ronaldo was originally in poor physical fitness, he was fat and had many injuries. Although he trained very hard during this period, he couldn't train his body in a very short period of time, especially his physical fitness.
Gao Shen still clearly remembers that when a classmate failed the high school entrance examination in physical education, in order to practice long-distance running, he would go to the playground to run 1,000 meters every afternoon between school and evening self-study. Just barely passed.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that this classmate is slightly fat, but it is not difficult to see from this point that physical fitness cannot be achieved overnight.
To some extent, it is not easy for Ronaldo to last the first half.
"Let him play in the second half." Maqueda suggested, "According to our original plan, we should defend in the second half. Don't give AC Milan a chance to score. It's not worth the risk."
If Negredo is used, both Gao Shen and Real Madrid are confident to keep the score of 2-0.
But if Ronaldo is allowed to stay on the field, there will be more unknowns. It may be three to zero, but it may also be two to one.
Give the opponent an away goal, which will make the second round more suspenseful.
Maqueda is right, it's not worth it!
"But in this world, you can't do everything only if it's worth it?" Gao Shen asked with a deep sigh.
Rather than saying that he was asking Maqueda, it would be better to say that he was asking himself.
He is confident that even if he replaces Ronaldo now, there will be no problem, but is it really good?
In the final analysis, locker room management is the management of people, and people are emotional animals, aren't they?
"Our female reporter from Real Madrid TV recently sent me a list of questions, saying that fans left messages on the official website. She carefully selected some representative ones."
Gao Shen said with a smile, but the topic seemed to have nothing to do with Ronaldo.
Everyone was also in a daze, not knowing what was the use of Gao Shen's sudden talk.
"There is a question in it, why did Queiroz and Luxenberg fail to deal with the locker room problem during their coaching, but I was able to build a good relationship with these superstars in the team?"
After everyone heard the question, they all showed their thoughts.
In fact, this is not only the doubt of the questioner, but also the doubt of many people, and even everyone.
From the locker room management in the football world to the personnel management of enterprises, in fact, such problems will be encountered.
"I think the main reason is that I have been trying to convey a concept to this group of superstars and veterans from the beginning to the end. I am not here to end their careers. On the contrary, I have been telling them, They can also make more and greater contributions to the team."
"I would even tell them that during my time they could win things they had never won in their careers, like Ronaldo's Champions League, or Beckham's title at Real Madrid."
This is the reason why Real Madrid superstars are willing to be driven by Gao Shen and do their best for him.
A player's career is like a person's life. If a player realizes that his career is coming to an end and he has become no longer important in this team, it often means that the player would be a big problem.
So Gao Shen was giving hope to Raul, to Zidane and Beckham, and later to Ronaldo.
Then, they are no longer a problem.
Instead, they performed better and better.
And behind all this is Gaoshen's understanding of them, including their setbacks, their ambitions, and their doubts. Through this understanding, they believe that Gaoshen is fighting side by side with them.
This is the secret of him controlling the locker room and activating superstars!
Managing the locker room is actually the same as managing a company, a department, or a unit.
That being the case, what reason does Gao Shen have to reject Ronaldo now?
Is there any reason not to accompany him to take this risk?
...
Gao Shen let out a heavy breath, and the whole person became relaxed.
Around him, when the members of the coaching staff looked at him again, it was obvious that something was different again.
A little more admiration.
In the past, many people thought that being profound was good luck, being able to speak and compliment others, and coaxing superstars well.
But now, they all discovered that things were not that simple.
It turns out that there is such a deep meaning hidden behind everything Gao Shen does.
Looking back, it’s actually not surprising. If superstars are so easy to coax, then Real Madrid will become the current Real Madrid?
"Lorenzo, hurry back and try your best to let Ronaldo continue to play in the second half."
After making a decision, Gao Shen made a decisive decision.
Buenaventura didn't say much, nodded in agreement, and walked back immediately.
"Everyone go back and prepare."
...
When Gao Shen returned to the locker room, he happened to see the masseur massaging Ronaldo's muscles.
When the Brazilian saw Gao Shen enter the door, his eyes were full of gratitude.
The eyes of other players looking at Gao Shen are obviously a little more intimate, and there is a feeling that they really regard him as their own.
"Ronnie said that he will score in the second half, and if he can score, I believe him!" Gao Shen came to the players and said solemnly.
"I know, it may be a little risky to do so, but I don't want you to have any burdens. Even if you go to the game, I will bear all the consequences. I believe you will not let me down. I will definitely be able to see you again in the second half." Goal!"
There wasn't too much motivation, and there wasn't any inflammatory words, but with just two simple sentences, the emotions of all the players in the locker room were mobilized.
Because Gao Shen said two words from beginning to end, trust!
Ronaldo, who was the first to bear the brunt, clenched his fists with excitement, gritted his teeth, and looked like he wanted to return to the court immediately.
Before, he bowed his head to Gao Shen, somewhat forced by the situation, but from this moment, from now on, he obeyed!
Thoroughly, convinced!
After Raul, Zidane, Beckham and others looked at each other, they all saw admiration from each other's eyes, and their impression and evaluation of Gaoshen were obviously improved.

Real Madrid players are high-spirited, unfortunately Ancelotti and his AC Milan.
Originally according to the situation in the first half, Ancelotti guessed that Real Madrid should be defensive in the second half, and AC Milan's situation will be much better.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid took the initiative to attack again, continuing to adopt the high pressing tactics of the first half.
This caught AC Milan off guard again, and was a little embarrassed to parry.
People are not ready yet, you are so anxious, is it interesting?
What about gentlemanly demeanor?
Ancelotti also didn't expect that Real Madrid would continue to play hard in the second half, and immediately walked to the sidelines, signaling the team to stabilize their defense.
But after Real Madrid's first half of the game, this style of play became more and more slippery, and AC Milan couldn't find the north.
Although the advanced level allows Ronaldo to focus on offense instead of expending too much physical energy and energy on defense, the Brazilian is still very desperate. He looks like a hungry wolf with scarlet eyes staring at his prey.
