Eighty, the Most Classic Reversal in History

Gao Shen can feel the change in the attitude of Real Madrid fans towards him from some details.

For example, at the Capital Airport last night, many people were still calling his name.

And like this morning, more and more of his name began to appear in major newspapers that were freshly released, and there were even reports dedicated to him, and all of them were positive reports.

Even when he went out in the morning to buy breakfast, buy newspapers, and ride a bicycle to Valdebebas, he met Real Madrid fans. Many of them recognized him, and many of them even took the initiative to say hello to him.

And when we arrived at Valdebebas, the fans who came early to watch the team's open training recognized him from a distance, blocked him outside the small gate next to him, took a group photo and signed a one-stop line, which almost made him Hold it like a star.

All of these make Gao Shen feel more joyful.

Human, who can really be flattered?

Most of the time, the calmness in front of others is all pretended, but the heart is actually full of joy, and no one can escape it.

After finally getting rid of the enthusiastic fans, after entering Valdebebas, Gao Shen saw the smiling security captain head-on. He can be regarded as witnessing Gao Shen from a street rat to the current Real Madrid hero.

"Being a star is not fun at all." Gao Shen put on a show, complained to the security captain, and pushed his bicycle away.

The security captain was left behind muttering: Isn't it fun? Look at how happy you are!

Looking at the fans outside the gate again, there were many young and beautiful female fans chasing Gao Shen to sign a group photo just now, the security captain turned his head again, looked at the back of Gao Shen who had gone away, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

It's good to be young!

I think back then, I was handsome when I was young, and there were so many girls who liked me. At that time, I...

...

Gao Shen came to the coach's office in the training building.

As usual, there are three documents prepared for him by the team doctor, Buenaventura and Lucas on his desk at this moment, namely the player's physical report, physical fitness report and game analysis report.

After the players come to the training base, the team doctor and Buenaventura will also follow up the players.

These are the basis for Gao Shen and the coaching staff to make training plans and match arrangements, especially for the injured.

Therefore, it is common practice for the injured to report to the team an hour in advance.

Gao Shen flipped through several reports, and found that Real Madrid's current situation is not bad, and their injuries are under control.

Woodgate is an old patient. Gao Shen has never dared to overuse him and gave him a lot of rest time. Although the pressure of the game is high, the pressure of internal competition is not great. Coupled with the care of the team doctor, Gao Shen communicated well with him. As a result, Woodgate has no more major injuries.

But Gao Shen didn't dare to be careless about it.

Now Real Madrid has only three central defenders. If Woodgate falls, it will be a fart.

And De La Reid.

The Real Madrid teenager has gained a firm foothold under Gao Shen, but everyone finds it strange that Gao Shen asks De La Reid to have a heart check every week.

Why do you still have to do it when you are obviously not sick?

Dela Reid also asked Gao Shen in private, but Gao Shen really couldn't find a suitable reason, so he could only put on the air of a domineering president, and answered him with three words, "I'm happy!"

Fortunately, this inspection did not waste much time. De La Reid respected Gao Shen more and more, so of course he could only obey.

The team will play Juventus next Wednesday night, and this game is also crucial.

Real Madrid has only three days to rest. This time, Gao Shen does not plan to have a holiday. He must hurry up and organize a targeted offensive drill. The focus is on how to break through the Juventus goal at the Bernabéu.

According to Buenaventura's report,

The consumption of the players is very high, and they need to take a good rest in the next three days.

Even so, he can't guarantee that the team can face Juventus in the best condition, he can only do his best.

Gao Shen also understands this.

Lucas has been running between the UK and Spain recently. While studying data analysis, he is still working at Real Madrid. A data report every day has become his extracurricular homework.

But in today's report, in addition to some data analysis of last night's game and player turnover statistics, there is also a judgment on the future situation and a description of the current situation of the team.

This morning, Gao Shen saw in the newspaper that Cruyff said in a column that there has never been a team in the history of La Liga that was able to make a comeback when it was 10 points behind, so he concluded that Real Madrid would not succeed.

This is not unfounded.

According to this report by Lucas, the most disparate case of winning the championship in the history of La Liga was in the 1998-99 season. At that time, the chairman of Barcelona was still Nunes, and Gaspart was still the greatest vice-chairman of Barcelona. Laporta is still working as his lawyer, and the head coach is Van Gaal, whom Cruyff is reluctant to mention.

In the fourteenth round of La Liga, Barcelona was nine points behind the leader Real Mallorca, but in the next twenty-four rounds, Barcelona chased all the way, creating an impressive record of 17 wins, three draws and one loss in the twenty-four rounds , Reversed to win the championship, achieved the most disparate case of reversal and won the championship in the history of La Liga.

But in fact, this case is quite watery.

why?

Because after the end of the season, Real Mallorca, the leader at the time, only ranked third in La Liga, and ranked second. Real Madrid, which was a little competitive against Barcelona, ​​was only six points ahead of Barcelona at most.

Everyone can see that a team like Real Mallorca is definitely inferior to Barcelona and Real Madrid in stamina.

In contrast, another case given in the Lucas report is closer and more violent.

That is Valencia under the coach of Benitez.

From 2003 to 2004, after the twenty-sixth round, Valencia fell behind the top Real Madrid by eight points, but after that, Valencia played a wave of six consecutive victories. , Another wave of two consecutive victories, and finally locked the league championship two rounds ahead of schedule.

But in that season, Valencia has actually been one of the most competitive teams in La Liga.

In the fifth round, the Bat Corps beat Super Deportivo and Real Madrid to the top. Although they were kicked off in the eighth round, Valencia reached the top twice again in the tenth and thirteenth rounds, and then in the tenth round. In the ninth and twentieth rounds, he also became the dealer again.

It can be said that the strength of the Bat Corps that season was still very strong.

But things are markedly different at Real Madrid this season.

Although in the ninth and tenth rounds, Real Madrid once tied for the top spot with Osasuna, but the results have not been satisfactory, especially in the eighteenth round, they once fell to sixth in the league, behind Barcelona by as much as 13 points many.

When Gao Shen took over, he was still ten points behind Barcelona.

In terms of league environment, the sophisticated Real Madrid is far inferior to Van Gaal's Barcelona team, and in terms of overall competitiveness, Real Madrid is not as good as Benitez's Valencia team.

It can be said that in terms of how bad it really is, the sophisticated Real Madrid team is worse than Van Gaal's Barcelona and Benitez's Valencia.

If you add that Gao Shen is the third head coach of Real Madrid this season, the team has experienced superstar infighting, locker room gang fights, chairman changes and high-level turmoil, and Gao Shen took office at the age of 25...

It can definitely be said that so far this season, Real Madrid's experience can be called a classic.

But it is not enough to reverse Barcelona in the standings.

...

"How is it? Do you feel that the pressure on your shoulders is heavier?"

While Gao Shen was looking at the report and thinking, Lucas walked in quietly.

Behind him was Buenaventura.

"It's really difficult." Gao Shen let out a deep breath, "However, if you have reached this level, you must do your best no matter what, and keep going forward, otherwise, all the hard work and dedication in the past will be in vain gone."

Lucas and Buenaventura looked at each other, and they both saw admiration in each other's eyes.

Especially Buenaventura.

Although it is the first cooperation, he has seen a lot of shining points from Gao Shen, which left a deep impression on him.

"To be honest, Fernando, I don't think the examples you gave are good enough." Gao Shen clicked critically and handed the analysis report to Lucas.

"why?"

"I missed one of the most classic and most contagious."

Lucas frowned, unable to remember.

Buenaventura had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "Manchester United in the 1995-96 season!"

"That's right!" Gao Shen clapped his hands vigorously, and the way he looked at Buenaventura changed a bit. The hero sees the same thing.

"Many people have misrepresented that Manchester United are not 12 points behind Newcastle."

This time not only Lucas was surprised, but even Buenaventura was a little surprised.

"After half of the Premier League that year, Newcastle scored 45 points, and Manchester United ranked second with 35 points, 10 points behind. Zero defeated Newcastle and managed to catch up with seven points, and in the 21st round, because Newcastle's game was postponed to February, Manchester United played an extra game and managed to catch up with four points."

"But it's a pity that, just when they were about to rush over, Manchester United first lost 1-4 to Tottenham Hotspur in the away game, and drew 0-0 at home with Aston Villa. Dropped to third, nine points behind Newcastle, and played one more game than the Magpies."

The twelve points that many people misrepresented were actually because Newcastle missed a game.

Gao Shen was in the tactical library last night, seriously studying Ferguson's thrilling past. He felt the various encounters Ferguson encountered during this experience, as well as his various coping strategies.

Finally came to a conclusion.

That is the real Manchester United reversal of Newcastle, which is far more difficult and legendary than the 12 points rumored by the outside world.

Why?

Because Ferguson's team once caught up with only four points, but suffered a blow at the goal, and was directly opened up. If it were someone else, other teams would have collapsed long ago.

But Ferguson and Manchester United did not.

Instead of failing, this team regrouped and learned from the previous experience and lessons. In the second pursuit of Newcastle, they reversed their opponents in one go and reached the championship.

When Gao Shen saw this passage, he wondered in his heart, does Real Madrid at this moment look like Manchester United when they first approached Newcastle?

It's also defeating the opponent in a direct dialogue, it's the same effort to close the score, the same morale is like a rainbow, and the victory is sure...

This moment is just like that moment.
