Chapter 40 Advanced Resignation Letter

Tired!

really tired!

The locker room was so quiet that only the heavy breathing of the players remained.

Everyone was sweating, and the jerseys were as wet as if they had just been pulled out of the washing machine.

Sweat all over his head, face, and body, and he sat there, out of breath.

Anyone can see that they are really desperate.

But the trend of the game was not satisfactory.

After scoring a goal, Arsenal reversed the situation. Real Madrid struggled for 20 minutes, but at the last moment of the game, the Gunners broke the goal.

Although it is a penalty kick, it is really not wronged.

Gao Shen was not in a hurry to speak, he set aside time for the players to catch their breath, and at the same time he was perfecting his own ideas.

Real Madrid certainly can't sit still in the second half. At this point, they must continue to attack.

The key is how to attack? When will the attack begin?

When the locker room was silent, Ramos suddenly jumped up from his seat.

Everyone was taken aback by this sudden move, and Gao Shen was also shocked. He was afraid that Ramos would say something inappropriate at this critical point, so he wanted to speak out to stop him.

Unexpectedly, Ramos spoke first.

"I'm sorry!" The Seville teenager lowered his always high head and apologized in public.

"It's my fault. I couldn't stop Henry. He started too fast. I couldn't keep up at the time, so I shot subconsciously. As a result..."

Elguera also stood up, "Henry started with the ball, In fact, it was trying to cheat a penalty, and we were fooled."

It's hard to say what Henry wanted to do at the time. Maybe he hit the goal when he broke through, but maybe he was determined from the beginning that even if he couldn't break through, he still wanted to earn a penalty.

Worst worst, he also wants to get a direct free kick at the front of the penalty area.

Everyone was surprised, including Gao Shen.

From joining Real Madrid to now, Ramos has given everyone the impression that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, young and vigorous.

A person who dared to sing against the Brazilian gang when he first arrived, now he admitted his mistake.

Gao Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a wave of confidence in his heart.

Even Ramos is willing to admit his mistakes. The morale and state of the team tonight are really good!

Gao Shen walked straight over, patted Elguera's shoulder, motioned him to sit down, came to Ramos's side again, and wrapped his arms around Ramos' shoulders. The two were shoulder to shoulder, about the same height.

"It's not anyone's fault. If I have to say something wrong, it's my fault, the fault of the whole team."

Ramos looked at Gao Shen with some surprise.

"You and Ivan have performed well enough, I know, you all tried your best."

Gao Shen pushed Ramos back to his seat, stood among the players, and looked around at the players.

"Not only Sergio and Ivan, but you, everyone here, I know, you all gave your best, I'm proud of your performance in the first half, and I'm sure, the Real Madrid fans too "

The objective conditions of Real Madrid are there, aging, low level of long-term training, players not in the state due to various reasons, these are objective facts, and they cannot be changed overnight.

It is really not easy for these players to play like this now.

"But I am more aware that at this moment, each of you is full of unwillingness in your heart like mine, isn't it?"

Ramos, De La Reid, Felipe, Arbeloa... Many players nodded, even Raul, Zidane and Beckham, they were not reconciled.

After trying everything, they managed to score a goal. As a result, they were equalized before the end of the first half.

Who will be willing?

"It's very simple, if you are not reconciled, then in the second half, regain the victory!" Gao Shen clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

At this moment in the game, Real Madrid has no choice but to fight to the end.

Slowing down, Gao Shen continued: "Before the team set off for London, I went to the Ortalesa district and visited Carlo."

"Believe it or not, I really treat him as my teacher ." , but I didn't go to learn, I went to say goodbye to him, because I told him that if we lose at Highbury tonight, I won't go back."

Everyone in the dressing room couldn't believe it He lifted his head up and looked at Gao Shen.

I saw that Gao Shen took out a letter from his pocket, "When I was in Madrid, I had already written the resignation letter in advance. If we can't get the right to advance to the quarterfinals tonight, I will give up after the game. Then hand it out."

Everyone in the audience, from the players to the coaching staff to the staff, all focused on the letter on Gao Shen's right hand, and even his best confidant Lucas didn't know it was there. The existence of the letter, let alone others.

The whole world knows that if this game is lost, Gao Shen will probably be dismissed, but it is just a guess.

Now, Gao Shen has shown his determination.

Instead of being fired by Real Madrid, I fire myself!

"I don't want to play a bitter scene in front of you and win your sympathy, I just want to tell you that my desire to win this game is absolutely no less than any of you present, because I bet on my future!"

Everyone in the locker room could feel the weight of Gao Shen's words.

The performance in the above half, even if they lose in the end, everyone will understand and forgive them, but Gao Shen will step down from the Real Madrid coach, and may even face liquidation. The most serious thing is that his reputation will be ruined and his future will be ruined.

"I also know that many of you, even now, are still dissatisfied and still feel that I am not qualified to be the head coach of Real Madrid. I do not deny this, but since fate has brought us to this point, Since we have no choice, let's put aside our previous suspicions and fight side by side!"

  ...

Gao Shen's eloquent mobilization revived the morale and fighting spirit of the team, but how to play in the second half is a big problem.

The situation of Real Madrid is in front of everyone, and there is no way to change it.

"We can only attack at the beginning of the second half and try to score another away goal."

Gao Shen said firmly, without any doubts, because Real Madrid's physical fitness can't last overtime, even after 70 minutes, there is no Physical ability to launch an offense is an unknown number.

Therefore, if you want to score goals, you can only bet on the start.

"It's still the same style of play as we did in the first half. After the opening, we attacked, stabilized the position and rhythm, and pressed Arsenal in the half. Negredo was responsible for restraining Senderos, and the ball was mostly passed to Zidane's side. , he is responsible for getting the ball in the frontcourt."

"Pay attention to Reyes and Henry on the right, don't press up, Felipe on the left can go forward properly and participate in the offense in the frontcourt."

"In addition, in the first half When I was on the field, I found that when Zidane stepped in, Gilberto Silva would also retreat, and there would be loopholes in the front of Arsenal's penalty area, and we could take advantage of them."

Gao Shen slid out on the tactical blackboard Passed through this area at the front of the restricted area, and tapped it heavily a few times.

Real Madrid's offensive routine was almost touched by Arsenal in the first half of the contest. Wenger will definitely remind the players to minimize fouls and avoid giving Real Madrid free kicks in good positions.

Therefore, Real Madrid must find new attack points on the offensive end.

When everyone heard what Gao Shen said, they immediately turned their attention to Gravesen.

Gravesen is not a traditional engineer player. He is not tall, has a tough and brave style, and looks very sturdy. He looks like a butcher, but his organization and passing are quite good, and he has good long-range shooting ability.

Everyone naturally felt that when Gao Shen talked about long shots, he meant Gravesen's back thrust.

But Gao Shen shook his head, "Thomas is from Everton in the Premier League. Wenger is very familiar with him, and he has always defended against him."

Gravesen himself nodded, and no one knew Wenger's targeted deployment better than him. .

Not Gravesen, who is that?

"Ruben!" Gao Shen pointed to De La Reid, "It's time for us to see your ability to push in and shoot long distances!"

Everyone in the locker room was surprised, it turned out to be De La Reid!

Since he came to the first team, the young player of the second team has only played one derby match of Atletico Madrid. He is diligent, hard-working, and afraid of making mistakes, he rarely advances. The task is completed well, but there are no surprises. .

Gao Shen actually entrusted him with such an important task now?

Not to mention other people, even De La Reid himself was flattered and couldn't believe it.

Only Gao Shen knew in his heart that De La Reid became famous for his volley shot from behind.

In his career, he also scored goals from long range.

More importantly, Arsenal and Wenger did not pay much attention to him, and even ignored him.

"Don't worry, Ruben, I believe, you can do it!"

Gao Shen walked up to De La Reid, patted him on the shoulder confidently, and encouraged him.

After finishing speaking, Gao Shen applauded vigorously.

"Okay, we will play as we said just now in the second half, all of you remember, we have only one goal in this game, and that is to win!"

All the players stood up in unison and shouted loudly, "Okay!"

  ...

After the second half started, Real Madrid took a breath, and decisively launched a high press against Arsenal.

Real Madrid's transformation did not go beyond Wenger's expectations. He made targeted tactical arrangements during the intermission.

This allowed Real Madrid to regain the ball smoothly and suppress Arsenal again, but the scene seemed a bit stalemate.

After two games, especially after the start of the first half, Real Madrid implemented the team oppression tactics advocated by Gao Shen more effectively. Although the players consumed a lot of energy, the effect was very good.

Gao Shen saw that the team was on the right track after several adjustments in the opening game, so he waited patiently for a turnaround.

As the head coach, he has no way to play to replace the players, and he must not play as well as the players. The only thing he can do is wait.

The scene fell into a stalemate, but everyone knew that Real Madrid's physical fitness could not last long.

If the wave of aggressive attacks at the beginning of the second half cannot be won, then Real Madrid will not even want to win.
