On the morning of March 4th, Hortalesa district.
Carlo got up early as usual, went downstairs and went straight out of the courtyard to pick up the morning newspaper from the mailbox outside.
What is different from usual is that there is not only the freshly released Aspen newspaper in the mailbox, but also two tickets that I don't know when they will be put in. They are the tickets for the derby match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid at the Bernabéu Stadium tonight.
As early as a few months ago, tickets for this game were already hard to find.
Between the two tickets was a note in crooked Spanish.
"I hope you can come to watch the game, Gao."
In fact, even if Gao Shen didn't sign it, Carlo could recognize his handwriting at a glance, and the writing was really ugly.
Back in the house, sitting at the dining table, Carlo stared at the two tickets in a daze.
Unknowingly, it has been four days since he stepped down from the Real Madrid coaching position.
"Who gave the tickets? Is it high?" His wife came out of the kitchen, just in time to see the tickets in Carlo's hand, and asked with concern.
Carol nodded silently.
"Why didn't you ask him to come in?" complained Mrs. Carroll.
Carlo knew that his wife had always had a good impression of Gao Shen, but in fact, the fact that he dismissed get out of class had nothing to do with Gao Shen, it was purely the new chairman Martin messing around, but he always had such a knot in his heart.
Just like now, he is very contradictory.
Want to see it?
Definitely, very much.
But want to see it?
He refused very much, because four days ago, he was the head coach of Real Madrid, but now, he can only watch the game with the ticket sent by Gao Shen, which makes him feel uncomfortable no matter what he thinks.
"Why didn't I see anyone?" Mrs. Carlo looked out of the courtyard, but she didn't see Gao Shen's figure, which was very strange.
"The tickets were probably delivered last night. We should have a rest. He didn't wake us up and put them in the mailbox." Carlo explained.
Mrs. Carlo saw what her husband was thinking, and sat down opposite him. After a few minutes of silence, she couldn't help asking: "Then are you going to see tonight?"
Carlo was silent again.
He obviously didn't want to answer the question.
"He said before that he would like you to see it very much," Mrs. Carlo said.
Carlo regards Gao Shen as his student, so Gao Shen often visits their house. Mrs. Carlo has a very good impression of Gao Shen, and she really doesn't want to have any quarrel with Gao Shen because of this matter.
She has been with Carlo for twenty or thirty years, and she understands her husband's character better than anyone else, and she also knows his entanglement at this moment.
Not to mention Carlo, whoever changed, isn't it the same?
After hesitating for a while, Carlo gently pushed the ticket in front of his wife, "I won't go, if you want to see it, ask a friend to accompany you, if you don't want to go, give it to the neighbors Let's go."
After speaking, Carlo opened today's newspaper.
Mrs. Carlo took a deep look at her husband, and without saying much, she nodded and put away the tickets.
...
No surprises, today, the news in Aspen newspaper is all related to tonight's derby match.
Even as early as yesterday, the whole city was exaggerating this focus battle.
Many outsiders can't understand Atletico Madrid's resentment towards Real Madrid. Only people living in this city can understand it. It is a deep-rooted resentment that will only become deeper and deeper as time goes by.
Long before Atletico Madrid's relegation, their chairman Old Hill once said that Atletico Madrid's task is to do Real Madrid, as long as they can win Real Madrid, they will be relegated.
Unexpectedly, Atletico Madrid was really relegated!
For Atletico Madrid, this was a disaster that completely shattered Atletico Madrid's dream of a strong team, but it further fueled their resentment towards Real Madrid.
Because, when Atletico Madrid was relegated to La Liga and was struggling, Florentino became the chairman of Real Madrid, won the Champions League twice in three years, continuously bought the world's biggest superstars, and formed a star-studded galaxy battleship.
Atletico Madrid is in the Second Division, looking up at their former rivals, in La Liga and the Champions League, and even the whole world, they are shining brightly.
The mental quality is almost, and it must have collapsed on the spot, but unfortunately, Atletico Madrid is very tenacious.
The Sheets returned to La Liga and stood in front of Real Madrid again.
Every time they faced Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid played without flinching, which caused both sides to play very dangerous games. Although there were 4-0 and 3-0 wins, the process was also quite dangerous, and more A close showdown.
Atletico Madrid returned to La Liga until now, at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid's results are one win and two draws, while at the Calderon Stadium, Real Madrid has won four consecutive victories.
What does this mean?
Atletico Madrid are always smashing Real Madrid at the Bernabeu!
This one will be no exception.
...
Atletico Madrid coach Murcia said in an interview with the media at the pre-match press conference that this is the best time for Atletico Madrid to beat Real Madrid. They are confident that they will let Real Madrid recognize Atletico Madrid again at the Bernabeu.
"Real Madrid is in civil turmoil, which is sympathetic news, but as a competitor, this is also a very good opportunity for us. We hope to avenge the Calderon Stadium at the Bernabéu Stadium."
In Calder At the Long Stadium, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 3-0. The process was very dangerous, but the score was a complete victory.
Murcia also mentioned the acting head coach of Real Madrid, Gao Shen, who is only 25 years old. He felt that this was a very absurd decision, and he couldn't understand it, because the average age of Real Madrid players was more than 25 years old. .
"They will pay for their absurdity!"
Not only the coach Murcia, but also the team's top scorer Fernando Torres is gearing up, especially when he heard that Real Madrid did not include all Brazilian players in the squad , he was even more overjoyed.
"This is really an incomprehensible decision. I even have some doubts. Is the acting head coach of Real Madrid a spy we planted in the Bernabeu?"
This is of course a joke, but Torres said that there are few Brazilian stars. The strength of the team is greatly affected, especially Ronaldo, Robinho, Baptista, Carlos and Cicinho. These five players are all humerus generals of Real Madrid.
Gao Shen won all of them at once, coupled with the suspension of Ramos, this undoubtedly made Real Madrid's formation even worse.
"It will be a difficult game because it's at the Bernabeu," Torres said.
"But my teammates and I are ready. We are looking forward to reaping a victory at the home of our rivals. I hope they will not disappoint us too much."
Aspen believes that Torres looks confident.
Also full of confidence is the Spanish international defender Pablo Ibanez. He believes that Real Madrid without Ronaldo is like a tiger without teeth, and it is not worth fearing at all.
"I know a lot of people will bring up that game at the Calderon, but I want to remind everyone that in the sixth minute the referee sent off our left back and I don't think it was a fair game. The game."
"We will prove our strength at the Bernabéu!"
Atletico Madrid's youth player Antonio Lopez also mentioned the seventh round of the game, that is, he got a red card in the sixth minute, but he said , I did not meet Raul at the time.
At that time, Raúl received a pass from Ronaldo, entered the penalty area from the right flank, and was tripped by Antonio Lopez, but Atletico Madrid insisted that Lopez did not touch Raul, and the referee was not originally going to pay for it. card, but then he didn't know what was going on, and suddenly decided to draw a card to Lopez.
Atletico Madrid believes that this is pressure from Real Madrid players, because Atletico Madrid players were sent off in six minutes, coupled with Ronaldo's penalty, Real Madrid won the game directly.
"At the Bernabeu, they will pay the price!" Antonio Lopez said harshly.
...
The confrontation between two deadly rivals in the same city has always been hot and fierce.
In Calderon, the two sides created a record of one red card and seven yellow cards, and everyone believes that this data will not be too bad at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Carlo watched the pre-match analysis in the newspaper worriedly, and he could clearly feel the ambition of the Atletico Madrid players.
There is a problem with Real Madrid, and it is divided internally, and Atletico Madrid wants to take the opportunity to make trouble.
They have such strength.
The question is, can Gao Shen handle it?
At the Bernabéu tonight, he not only has to face the challenge from the rival Atletico Madrid, but also the pressure from within the team, the threat from the management, and even the opposition of 75,000 Real Madrid fans. .
He can be said to be betrayed by all relatives, lonely and lonely!
Thinking of this, Carlo turned his head and looked at the note Gao Shen left behind.
"I hope you'll come and watch the game."
......
Game day is a busy one.
All the players who entered the game's roster came to Valdebebas to gather on time at the time required by Gao Shen.
Afterwards, Gao Shen started the tactical preparation meeting, and the focus was on discussing the team's formation adjustment.
Focusing on the problems repeatedly exposed in the training in the past two or three days, Gao Shen has repeatedly emphasized.
On the one hand, he regretted that the team had to rush into battle because there was not much time left for him to prepare.
But on the other hand, he is also very happy, because Woodgate is not injured.
God, this is really very good news.
So much so that when Gao Shen saw Woodgate in the conference room, he couldn't help but smiled at him and said, "Jonathan, I'm so glad to see you here!"
What Gao Shen emphasized the most was actually the positioning and defense regional problems.
In the past, Real Madrid used man-to-man defense, but now Gao Shen wants to adopt zone defense. These are two different defensive concepts.
Simply put, zone defense is an evolution of man-to-man defense.
Whether it is Valencia or Liverpool, it has proved how solid Benitez's defense is.
Of course, set-piece defense is a problem.
In the past few days, Gao Shen has repeatedly instilled this set of tactics into Real Madrid players. How much they can perform on the court is beyond Gao Shen's control.
In the afternoon, Gao Shen made targeted tactical arrangements, emphasizing the suppression of Atletico Madrid's defense.
Except for Pablo Ibanez, who is as tall as 1.92 meters, Pereira, Valasco and Antonio Lopez are all less than 1.8 meters tall
On the defensive end, the most important thing is Torres.
But as a double striker, Kežman also needs to pay attention.
Although this player did not perform well at Chelsea, and his performance did not improve much after he came to Atletico Madrid, he is a dangerous person after all and has to be guarded against.
"Finally," Gao Shen stood in front of all the players and let out a deep breath.
These 18 players were all selected by himself, and the victory or defeat must be borne by himself.
"I hope that each of you can show your best performance when you walk into the Bernabéu stadium tonight, and you can be worthy of the jersey you are wearing!"
After finishing speaking, Gao Shen looked deeply at All the people present turned around and left.
