Thirty-Two Can You Create Miracles?

Recovery training the morning after the race is crucial.

Except for some special circumstances, such as players returning to the national team urgently, most of the time, the restorative training on the morning of the game is the most important thing for all head coaches, because it is related to the preparation for the next game.

Gao Shen still did not intervene too much in training, but stood on the training ground and watched.

According to convention, the coaching staff divides the players into two groups, one is participating in the game, and this part of the player takes recovery training, and the other part is not in the match roster, and this part of the player takes high-intensity training.

The difference is that some teenagers who were recruited from the second team were recalled by the second team coach Portugal to play the game. They also participated in recovery training, which was also agreed by Gao Shen and Portugal.

But even the so-called high-intensity training, due to the presence of players such as Ronaldo and Carlos, the intensity is still not high.

Gao Shen saw Benitez's training arrangement in the tactics library. He has always insisted that in each training session, the training intensity should be arranged to the extent that the players can do their best. How to adjust it depends on the ability of the coaching staff. .

Why set it at this intensity?

After all, it's also a bit like the carrot hanging from the donkey's head.

If the training intensity is too high, the players will not be able to do it, they will be disappointed, and their motivation will be severely dampened; conversely, if the training intensity is too low, it is like the current Real Madrid, the players will not get real training value.

The best training should be to arrange the intensity on the line that players can do their best to complete, so as to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the players, and can fully exercise the players and improve the players' game level.

But now it seems that Real Madrid does not have such conditions.

...

After the training, Gao Shen left Raul alone.

Raul gave support and affirmation to Gaoshen's decision to cancel the vacation and arrange one more targeted training session.

"With our current situation, it is indeed very difficult to challenge Arsenal at Highbury." Raul understood very well.

Gao Shen and Raul walked slowly on the training ground side by side, walking towards the training building.

"The score in the first leg forced us to score away from home, otherwise the game would be meaningless, we know, and the whole world knows, Wenger will definitely plan his tactics for this."

Raul stopped, looked at Gao Shen, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Gao Shen shook his head frankly, "I need to know more about the team's situation before making a final decision."

After a pause, Gao Shen added: "But one thing I'm very sure of is... I don't plan to use the Brazilian Gang for the time being."

Raul's most ideal striker partner is a high-center striker like Morientes. Now there is a Negredo in the Real Madrid team. The brace against Atletico Madrid is also considered to be because of the existence of Negredo. Freed Raul.

If Ronaldo returns at this time, it is bound to re-compress Raul's tactical space.

Someone has done statistics in the previous life, Ronaldo was the partner with the second most goals in Raul's career, among many striker partners, second only to Morientes, and even higher than the later Van Nistelrooy.

But data doesn't mean everything. Raul's partner with Morientes is the most complementary, while his partner with Ruud van Nistelrooy has only been together for more than two years, but his scoring efficiency is not inferior to that of Ronaldo. .

But you must know that Raul, who was partnered with Ruud van Nistelrooy, was far from the peak of his career and achieved it after staying away from the striker for a long time.

At this moment, Raul has just played a good ball, and he does not want Ronaldo to be reactivated in any case.

And Gao Shen's statement is also a reassurance for Raul.

The Brazilian gang hasn't given up yet, he doesn't plan to use it, and it doesn't work well.

"Understood, if there is anything I need to cooperate with, you can say, I will mention the decision to cancel the holiday in the locker room, there will be no problem." Raul assured in return.

As the captain, the leader of the local gang, and the big boss in the locker room, Raul still has some weight.

"No matter how we're going to play, it's going to be a tough fight against Arsenal, can you do it physically?"

In fact, Raul has just returned from injury not long ago, and Gao Shen is very concerned about this issue.

"I feel very good now, the whole person is relaxed, don't worry, I will do my best to play this game." Raul promised with gritted teeth.

As the captain of Real Madrid, he is very clear about what this game means to Real Madrid, and he is very clear about the importance Real Madrid has always attached to the Champions League. Even if he does not say anything, he will definitely do his best.

Gao Shen did not doubt Raul's promise, nodded, and said nothing, expressing his trust.

...

Unlike Raul, Zidane's mentality towards the game is more complicated.

If Real Madrid lose to Arsenal, it will be the last Champions League game of his career.

Zidane is a proud person, Gao Shen believes that he will never accept that the last Champions League game of his career will end in this way.

Therefore, Gao Shen did not deliberately use words to provoke him, but just personally told him that he had decided to cancel the vacation and explained his intention. Zidane agreed without hesitation and accepted it.

"I think you should think about it and let Ronnie play." Zidane suggested.

Gao Shen looked directly at Zidane, as if he wanted to see his thoughts from his expression.

The Frenchman hesitated and explained: "I think that at times like this, Ronnie will be the most important weapon for us to score goals."

When he said this, his expression was very calm, and he was obviously very upright in his heart, and it was purely a matter of fact.

"I don't deny that the more critical moment he is, the more he can play the threat of scoring." Gao Shen first affirmed, but the conversation changed, "But have you ever thought about it, we just want to score in this game ?"

Without waiting for Zidane to reply, Gao Shen shook his head and said, "No, what we want is to win!"

With a 0-1 loss at home in the first leg, scoring goals is not enough to win.

In other words, scoring a goal is only a prerequisite, and the next step is to win.

If you want to win, you must defend well. Real Madrid can only win if you defend well while scoring goals.

It's not that Real Madrid's defense will get worse after Ronaldo comes on, it's not inevitable.

But it is undeniable that Ronaldo has really contributed nothing to the team's defense.

Don't talk about his attitude, just talk about his current physical fitness, can he be qualified for this intensity of competition?

Zidane was speechless, he knew that the deep worries were right.

Ronaldo's question is just a small topic of the conversation between Gao Shen and Zidane. What Gao Shen really wants to talk about is Zidane's physical fitness and his current state.

"Judging from the Premier League games over the weekend, Diaby will start and Cesc Fabregas will come off the bench. I guess Wenger will arrange for Cesc Fabregas and Gilberto Silva to partner with double midfielders in the Champions League in midweek. "

The Spanish teenager from Barcelona's youth academy can be said to be one of the hottest rookies in world football today. After Wenger sold Vieira, he was supported as the core of Arsenal's midfield.

Therefore, it is not difficult to make a deep guess.

"Zinedin, I want to know, if you continue to play in the attacking midfield position, is there any way to ensure that you can suppress Fabregas?" Gao Shen asked very seriously, which was related to his formation.

Gilberto Silva is very tall, which also leads to his position is generally very back, rarely forward, but Cesc Fabregas is different, he is more active, and he is younger, can pass and carry energy In control, he was born as a striker, with a strong attacking power in the back, and Gao Shen must ensure that his midfield counterparts can hold Cesc Fabregas.

If Zidane can't, he will consider letting Raul play this position and move Zidane to the left.

But the tactics will definitely have to be rearranged.

Gao Shen asked very seriously, and Zidane did not answer immediately.

Mainly because he just played nearly 80 minutes in the game against Atletico Madrid, which was a bit expensive.

But after thinking about it for a while, the French nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't hold back."

If it was before the age of 30, he would definitely be able to give a guarantee, but now, he is indeed a little old, and he can only promise to do his best, but he cannot promise to do it.

"Understood, I believe you!" Gao Shen smiled slightly.

This time Zidane was a little surprised, and felt that Gao Shen was too good to talk.

But from the deep eyes, Zidane read two words, trust.

The relationship between a manager and a player is always complicated and it is very difficult to gain trust.

It's not that you are a superstar, you have enough cards, and everyone will believe you.

Just like Lusenberg, he is not easy to trust others, especially superstars. He believes more in his tactics and what he sees in training and games, which causes him to lack a sense of trust in everyone and be full of everyone. Be wary.

But Gao Shen gave Zidane a significantly different feeling.

He didn't even give any strong promise, and Gao Shen believed him.

He wondered why?

Hearing Zidane's question, Gao Shen laughed, "First of all, we have a common goal, I want to win, you also want to win, our determination is big enough, this is our common interest; secondly, You're not one to make promises lightly, but every word you say is the result of your careful consideration."

"So, you say, what reason do I have for not trusting you?"

This time, Zidane was a little speechless.

In fact, he didn't have much contact with Gao Shen. It was the second time to talk like this today, but Gao Shen felt very strange to him. He didn't look like a 25-year-old. Like a sophisticated old fritters.

But Zidane is also completely unpredictable. How does Gao Shen want to play Arsenal?

When the French superstar threw this question again, Gao Shen laughed, but did not give a clear answer this time.

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I think about it."

This sentence, Zidane does not believe.

Gao Shen must have an idea, but it may not be perfect.

Time is running out, does he really have a way to beat Arsenal and reverse on aggregate?

If it did, it would be nothing short of a miracle.

Can he really perform miracles?
