Six Hundred and Ninety First Real Madrid's Totem

With Suarez's goal, Manchester City beat Manchester United 1-0 at home.

This once again triggered heated discussions in the British media.

But soon, in the thirteenth round of the Premier League on the weekend, Manchester City finally stopped their winning streak.

In the continuous battles, especially the recent two-week double match, they faced strong opponents. In the away game against Fulham, Manchester City finally shook hands with the London team 0-0.

This time, Manchester City's substantial rotation did not play to the level it should have.

The most important thing is that Suarez and Van Persie, the two generals, and many main stars such as Robben and Gareth Bale rested, which caused Manchester City's offense to be greatly impressed.

Thirteen rounds of competition, twelve wins and one tie, such a score sheet is enough to be proud of!

Gao Shen said after the game that the draw against Fulham was also a good thing for Manchester City.

"Take a break, we can go further!"

In order to better appease the players, in the following week, Gao Shen even arranged a two-day vacation for the team, allowing the players to rest and adjust beautifully.

A week later, in the fourteenth round of the Premier League, Manchester City beat Birmingham 5-0 at home.

Suarez started the game this time and staged a hat-trick. Zabaleta and Rakitic each scored a goal.

This big victory once again proved what Gao Shen said before.

The draw against Fulham was just a bit of a break for Manchester City.

After playing Birmingham, Manchester City rested in Carrington for two days before flying from Manchester to Madrid.

...

Although as an opponent, although Real Madrid can be said to be in dire straits, Gao Shen led the team to Madrid and was warmly welcomed by the media and fans.

Many media reporters, as well as hundreds of fans, went to Madrid Capital Airport to meet Gao Shen and Manchester City.

From the shouts of the fans at the scene, it is not difficult to see that almost all of them came for the advanced.

It can even be seen that some Real Madrid fans put up slogans in the crowd telling Gao Shen not to leave.

This also surprised the Manchester City players.

They saw it in the media all day long, and often heard people say that Gao Shen's status in Real Madrid is extremely respected, but it was only when they saw it with their own eyes that they realized it was true.

Even, more respected than they originally imagined.

"I didn't expect that the boss is still so popular!"

"Who said it wasn't? It's the first time I've seen fans of the home team running to the airport to greet the visiting team. I'm flattered!"

"You said, when we meet Real Madrid, should we be a little merciful?"

Manchester City players chatted with each other.

In fact, all the fans who picked up the plane came here for the sake of excellence, and no one took them seriously at all.

Even if they want to sign autographs and take a group photo, they are basically aiming at the advanced level, and they just leave the players aside.

This made Manchester City's players unavoidably envious of Gao Shen's popularity.

"Do you think it's strange? Real Madrid's current predicament is obviously caused by our boss, but why don't Real Madrid fans hate him?" Sturridge asked very strangely.

As we all know, Real Madrid's drop to third place in the group stage was certainly caused by the away loss to Schalke 04, but the 0-5 away loss to Real Madrid in the first round was even more crucial. Many people even felt that that game was the cause The culprit of Real Madrid's current predicament.

But Real Madrid fans don't seem to care at all.

"You won't understand!" Robinho looked at Gao Shen enviously.

He used to fantasize about being able to get such love from Real Madrid fans, but he never got it.

"For Real Madrid, our boss is like an oasis they found in the vast desert. The Real Madrid he coached back then was the team's last glory and pride!"

Rather than saying that Real Madrid fans admire Gaoshen, it is better to say that what they admire is what Gaoshen represents, the star-studded double crown Real Madrid in 2006!

Many times, people are contradictory.

Back then, how many people criticized Gao Shen, but now, how many people have changed their minds?

With the rise of Gao Shen's reputation in European football, his status in the minds of Real Madrid fans has become more and more mysterious and respected, and finally it has become more like a totem-like spiritual sustenance.

The worse Real Madrid's performance is, the stronger the fans' nostalgia and expectations for Gao Shen.

Some say it's an unrealistic fantasy.

However, some people say that Real Madrid fans need such an illusion.

"Trust me!" Robben looked at Gao Shen who was not far away signing autographs for Real Madrid fans, his eyes were full of complexity, "If he really returns to Real Madrid one day in the future, it will definitely cause an unprecedented sensation. He is the most anticipated superstar of Real Madrid, and even the whole of Madrid!"

"C Ronaldo, Kaka, Di Maria and Benzema, all of them combined are not as good as him!"

Everyone was surprised by Robben's words, but seeing more and more fans rushing towards Gao Shen, they had to believe it.

...

The news of Manchester City's arrival in Madrid spread throughout Madrid in a very short period of time.

Florentino also received the news immediately at the Bernabéu Stadium.

Sitting in the chairman's office, Florentino's expression was not good at all.

He was very uneasy.

If you look at the results in La Liga, Mourinho's team really played very well.

So far, they have played twelve games in La Liga. Real Madrid has ten wins and two draws, maintaining an unbeaten record. It also has one point more points than Barcelona, ​​especially in the last two games. First, they defeated Atletico Madrid 2-0. Won the deadly enemy in the same city derby, and then beat Athletic Bilbao 5-1.

It can be said that from the perspective of league results, Mourinho's team is really impeccable.

But Real Madrid has never just watched the league, but also the Champions League.

Even to some extent, Real Madrid's tradition has always been that the Champions League is more important than the league.

But in the Champions League group stage, Mourinho ranked third in four games, one win, one draw and two losses.

If forced to play in the Europa League this season, this is absolutely unacceptable to Real Madrid fans.

"Judging from the current signs, Gao Shen doesn't intend to do his best." Valdano comforted Florentino.

This is good news.

Judging from the squad Gao Shen brought to Madrid, apart from Robben and Neuer, he didn't even bring other main players.

For example, Suarez, David Silva and Rakitic were all left in Manchester.

Obviously, Manchester City has won the right to qualify for the group stage in advance, and Gao Shen needs to save his energy.

"How sure are we?" Florentino asked with concern.

Valdano was taken aback for a moment, looked at Zidane, then at Butragueno, and found that they were also dumbfounded.

This is a difficult question to answer.

"It's hard to say." Valdano smiled bitterly.

Florentino obviously also realized that there was no answer to his question, and immediately shook his head with a wry smile.

"I guessed it too, and even prepared for the worst."

Valdano nodded: "You know, I have never liked Mourinho, I don't like his football, I don't like him as a person, and I don't like his style of doing things, but I still say that, don't take it lightly. Change coaches!"

Florentino looked deeply at Valdano, as if wondering how true his words were.

Finally, the Real Madrid president nodded, "I will consider it."

After a pause, he asked again: "How do we plan to play this game?"

"Should be attacking it." Butragueno replied.

"Should?" Florentino was a little surprised.

It's all over here, and there is still no accurate word?

"Gao Shen is very good at attacking and attacking, so he must be careful. From the current point of view, he is likely to adopt defensive counterattack tactics, mainly to drill rotation players and substitute lineups, but even so, it should not be underestimated."

"Yes!" Florentino let out a long sigh, and couldn't help but recall the time in 2006 in his mind.

Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, it will be almost five years.

At the beginning, he had just stepped down from the position of Real Madrid chairman, but now, he has returned to the position of Real Madrid chairman.

"I still remember that you all told me that his ability to train defense is also the best in the world." After speaking, Florentino laughed.

Gao Shen has always been the best and most suitable head coach for Real Madrid in his mind, but unfortunately, he missed it again and again.

Once some things are missed, it is likely that they will never be obtained again.

"And he is very good at attacking. It is not ruled out that he will defend and counterattack after the opening wave." Butragueno analyzed.

Zidane has been silent all the time, and he couldn't help laughing out loud at this time, "This is his specialty!"

Everyone couldn't help but smile.

Those present were all high-level Real Madrid executives, but they were all good friends who knew him well.

Florentino let out a long sigh, stood up from the seat, and walked slowly out of the window.

It's getting dark in Madrid.

At this time tomorrow night, the game is about to start.

That will be a key battle that will determine the fate of Real Madrid this season. If they fail to win Manchester City, Real Madrid will probably stop at the group stage. By that time, God knows how angry the Real Madrid fans will be?

And once the results are not good, not only Mourinho will be unlucky, but also the technical director Valdano will also be unlucky, and even Florentino's chairmanship may also be shaken.

After all, Real Madrid fans still have high requirements for the team's performance.

Now, the league can barely maintain the lead, but then they have to face Barcelona, ​​and that is the real highlight.

The advantage of the league is only accurate after defeating Barcelona.

Until then, everything is empty talk.

Florentino withdrew his gaze, turned around, looked at his left and right arms, and reached out to lift his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I don't know, how are the preparations for Valdebebas?"

Yeah, how is Mourinho preparing?

...

At about the same time, Valdebebas outside Madrid.

Mourinho was also standing in front of the window, looking at the empty training ground, thinking about the upcoming game tomorrow night.

He was also hesitating, struggling, and hesitating in his heart...

This game must be won, but the key is, how to win?

Facing Gao Shen, who dares to say that he will definitely win?
