Forty-Three He Finally Did It!
"yeah!!!"
Before Gao Shen entered the locker room, across the closed door of the locker room, the cheers of the Real Madrid players could be heard celebrating.
On the pitch just now, they were somewhat concerned about Arsenal's emotions, but when they entered the locker room, they completely let go of themselves.
This made Gao Shen feel very proud.
The taste of a winner is really good!
In the stadium just now, after the players left the field, Wenger came over to have a chat with Gao Shen, but he couldn't hide his loss, and he was a little disappointed. After a few polite words, Wenger left.
Before leaving, he said quite self-deprecatingly that he had told assistant coach Pat Rice before that he would poach Arsenal to work after Gao Shen stepped down from the Real Madrid coaching position. But it was brought to the end by Gao Shen.
Gao Shen is both funny and thankful.
Wenger won't lie about this kind of thing, but being able to win Wenger's favor and get a job at Arsenal is a very big recognition for Gao Shen.
Of course, he certainly wouldn't want to go now.
Victory over Arsenal, creating another miracle in the history of the Champions League knockout, leading Real Madrid to the quarter-finals, this report card is enough to ensure that Gao Shen will stay in the Bernabeu and gain a firm foothold in Real Madrid's coaching position.
How will the new chairman, Martin, be sitting in the stands at Highbury Stadium tonight and bring him such a big win? What kind of remuneration can be given?
Gao Shen had no doubt that Martin would be very proud of his sudden whim ten days ago and hand-picked Gao Shen's decision.
Especially after Real Madrid had such amazing performances in two consecutive games.
With the results on the court, Gao Shen has now won back some initiative, so he is not in a hurry.
...
Pushing open the door of the locker room, as soon as he stepped in, his ears were filled with the noise of the players.
Everyone was celebrating, Ramos even stripped, dancing over there, too hot for the eyes.
But it can be seen that they are really excited.
"Everyone!"
Gao Shen came to the players and looked at everyone with a smile.
All the players also looked at him with a smile, and their eyes were a little more convinced than before.
"Congratulations! Great Real Madrid fighters! Congratulations on winning the second miracle in the history of the Champions League! Congratulations on helping the team reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League! Congratulations on continuing the fine history and tradition of Real Madrid!"
"I am proud of you!"
As soon as Gao Shen's voice fell, there was warm applause in the locker room.
"This is not only our honor, Gao, but also yours!" Captain Raul walked in front of Gao Shen and shouted excitedly.
"No one outside knows, but in this locker room, all of us know what you do for this team, we all know how much you give, we all know how important you are. "
Having said this, Raul suddenly changed the conversation, looked directly at Gao Shen, and said solemnly, word by word: "I want to apologize to you, Gao."
Everyone looked at Raul in amazement.
Su Dong was also surprised.
Why apologize?
"Actually, even when you told me so much, after the game against Atletico Madrid, I was still very suspicious and worried about you, and I even thought that the team should change to a better head coach. To lead the team against Arsenal."
"But now, I found that I was wrong. Because of this kind of game, any other coach, even the world's top coach, may not be able to do as well as you. I apologize to you!"
Gao Shen was taken aback, but this is actually normal.
Who would suddenly trust an unqualified rookie?
"Don't apologize, Raul, we are comrades fighting side by side!" Gao Shen stretched out his hand.
Raul firmly held Gao Shen's hand,
Taking another step forward, he hugged Gao Shen hard.
After Raul backed away, Zidane also stepped forward.
"I had reservations about you before, and I apologize to you too, Gao."
Gao Shen held Zidane's outstretched hand, and the two embraced.
"I am the same. I was worried before and doubted your ability. I apologize." Beckham also took the initiative to shake hands and hug Gao Shen. He obviously recognized Gao Shen's ability like everyone else.
It's just a game, but it's not just a game.
As a game at the highest level in world football, it is definitely not an easy task to lead the team in the knockout round of the Champions League and defeat Arsenal led by Wenger, especially when they were forced to a desperate situation in the first round.
Gao Shen handed in a nearly perfect answer.
The players came forward one by one, even Ramos was naked and wanted to run over to hug Gao Shen. He was so frightened that Gao Shen refused repeatedly, forcing him to get dressed and come back quickly, which caused an explosion in the locker room. There was a burst of laughter.
After the win, the atmosphere and morale of the team were completely different.
Fernando Lucas stood behind Gao Shen, watching everything in front of him silently, his eyes finally fixed on Gao Shen, and he found that his friend was becoming more and more strange and incredible.
Especially seeing this scene, let alone ten days ago when Gao Shen first took office, even after defeating Atletico Madrid, such a scene would never happen, and no one even dared to think about it.
But now, it's happening right under Lucas's nose.
Lucas suddenly remembered what Gao Shen once said: Only the weak will crave the mercy and sympathy of others, and the strong will use their strength to win respect!
Gao Shen has been practicing this sentence from the beginning, and now, he has finally done it!
...
When everyone gathered around to celebrate, the new chairman Martin also came to Real Madrid's locker room.
He was quite surprised when he saw the scene where Gao Shen was recognized by the players.
For the team's performance, Martin gave the highest evaluation and affirmation. He believed that the team's battle was enough to be recorded in the history of Real Madrid, interpreted the spirit of Juanito, showed the tenacity and blood of Real Madrid, and completely refuted the outside world about Real Madrid. Rumors of internal disunity.
At the same time, Martin also encouraged the team and hoped that everyone can continue to work hard and strive to continue to advance in the next La Liga and Champions League games and strive for better results.
Martin also promised that it is a gratifying event for the team to advance to the quarter-finals. After he returns, he will immediately urge the management to come up with a new reward plan, hoping that the team will continue to work hard.
This is basically expected, so the players' reactions are relatively flat.
Nowadays, in the dressing room of Real Madrid, Martin, the chairman, is not as powerful as the rookie coach Gao Shen.
Martin then pulled Gao Shen to the corner outside the locker room, praising his coaching in the last two games, but also pointing out a problem with Gao Shen.
"I met the UEFA official in the stands just now and he said, you are not going to the post-match press conference?"
Gao Shen nodded, "I'm a little uncomfortable, let Maqueda go for me."
"Uncomfortable?" Martin frowned a little, Gao Shen in front of him looked alive, and it didn't look uncomfortable no matter what.
When I played Atlético before, I didn't participate in the pre-match and post-match press conferences. Now it's the knockout round of the Champions League, and I don't participate. This is somewhat unreasonable.
"Actually, Chairman, we don't have an official head coach now, and I'm just an agent, so it doesn't make any difference whether I go or the chief assistant coach." Gao Shen explained with a smile.
Martin heard it.
In fact, even now, he is still reluctant.
Because in his plan, the ideal Real Madrid coach should be Bosque, with Hierro assisting, so that local fans, especially members, can win enough impression points and votes.
But ask yourself, whether it's against Atletico Madrid or playing Arsenal tonight, such a tough battle might not be able to be won with Bosque, but Gao Shen won it.
Reasonable, should give him a contract as a reward.
What's more, in the locker room just now, he also saw the players' recognition of Gao Shen, and in the stands, he also heard from the professionals' recognition of the game, especially the coach's formation. Formation and spot command.
Not to mention anything else, the crazy attack at the beginning of the first half was replaced by a coach with slightly weaker willpower. I am afraid that he has already retired, and can we wait for Beckham's goal?
Some people will think that Gao Shen has won the gamble.
But it doesn't matter, professional football values the process as much as the result, and a win is a win.
In a very short period of time, Martin kept repeating the trade-offs in his mind, and finally he also made a decision.
"It's really inconvenient to keep you on the title of acting head coach. Your current contract is still an internship contract, which is also inappropriate. I have been busy before and have no time to deal with it. When I go back tonight, I will let them immediately Prepare a brand new contract and send it to Valdebebas tomorrow, if you have no objection, sign it when you find a time."
Real Madrid still needs a formal occasion and ceremony to hire a head coach.
The previous hiring of Gao Shen was actually very hasty. Considering that he was the acting head coach, everyone acquiesced.
But if a formal contract is to be signed, a reporter must be invited to witness it.
"I can do it." Gao Shen didn't bargain, he laughed.
Martin murmured to himself: What a cunning little fox.
"By the way, I just heard that you took out your resignation letter at halftime to mobilize the players?"
Gao Shen was stunned and nodded quickly, "Yes, didn't I tell you before? If I lose tonight, I will submit my resignation to you in person, so I always take it with me."
"Don't!" Martin stretched out his hand and waved, "I have always trusted you, and never thought of asking for a resignation letter. Even if you submit it, I can't approve it. Don't mention this kind of thing in the future, so as not to give it to the media. Reporters use it as an article to mislead some fans who are not aware of it."
"Understood." Gao Shen nodded.
Martin gave a few more words of encouragement, but it was nothing more than a polite remark that he was very optimistic about the advanced.
After sending Martin away, Gao Shen took out an envelope from his pocket. Except for the resignation letter on the envelope, there was a blank A4 paper inside.
In the past few days, he has been so busy that he has lost his head. How can he have time to write a resignation letter?
Besides, people are going to be fired and write resignation letters?
Gao Shen shook his head and laughed. After repeatedly tearing the envelope into pieces, he threw it into the trash can next to him.
He doesn't need this stuff now.
