MTL - Starting with Real Madrid-Chapter 28 who is right? Who is to blame?

The Spaniards have a weird schedule.

Three o'clock in the afternoon is their lunch time, and dinner is not eaten until nine o'clock in the evening, or even in the middle of the night.

The end of the derby match happened to be the busiest moment in the streets and alleys of Madrid. The whole city was full of flamboyant and bustling scenes. Who would have thought that behind such prosperity, there was a huge economic crisis lurking?

The subprime mortgage crisis is coming, the European debt crisis will follow, and Spain will become one of the five European pig countries.

At that time, can these people still be as happy and indulgent as they are now?

Gao Shen didn't have time to understand all this. After he led the team back to Valdebebas, he rode a bicycle back to the Odalesa area.

I met many fans along the way. Some of them sang and danced and danced with joy. Needless to say, they must be Real Madrid fans; Sitting on the side of the road drinking...

In fact, Gao Shen couldn't understand the feelings of these local fans for the derby. He only knew that this game was very important to him, but it has already passed, and every next game is better than the previous derby. war is more important.

This is enough!

…

Walking through the familiar streets and alleys, he soon arrived at the door of Carlo's house.

It is easy to identify, because there is a badly mottled basketball hoop on the fence in front of their house.

Who would have thought that the football coach's son was a basketball fan?

Fortunately, Real Madrid also has a basketball team, so the two father and son have some common topics.

The doorbell rang, and Mrs. Carroll came out to help him open the door.

"Good evening, Mrs. Carroll." Gao Shen greeted politely.

Mrs. Carroll was also in a good mood. She smiled and nodded to him, pointing to the small yard behind her, "He's waiting for you over there."

As soon as Gao Shen entered the yard, he saw Carlo beckoning to him not far away. In front of him was a small square table with several dishes, a few bottles of wine, and a thermos.

"I know you don't drink, so I made a pot of water for you." Carlo stood up and greeted Gao Shen to sit down opposite him.

Gao Shen hurriedly thanked him and poured himself a glass of cool white water.

"You are really interesting. You don't drink, smoke, gamble, and you don't have almost any bad hobbies. What's the fun in such a life?" Carlo asked with a laugh, looking at the profound movements.

After listening to Gao Shen, an impression came to mind, this is not the first time Carlo has ridiculed him like this.

In the past, he always explained solemnly that this was because his parents had been strict with him since he was a child, and all bad habits were forbidden in domestic schools, but now...

"Men, you always have to be tougher on yourself." Gao Shen didn't explain and smiled.

Carlo clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes, that's right, that's exactly how it should be."

A burst of jokes shortened the distance between each other, and the chat box was opened.

"Sir, I'm very glad that you can go to the Bernabeu to watch the game tonight." Gao said gratefully.

Carlo waved his hand, "I was going to enter with the ticket you gave me, but I ran into Florentino."

"Florentino?" Gao Shen was very surprised, "He's back?"

Carlo nodded, "In fact, I don't know much about a lot of things. You know, although Florentino has only been in charge of Real Madrid for more than five years, his influence on this club is very profound. A department has his people, and even Martin would not dare to confront him openly."

High and deep understand.

It has always been said that Florentino stepped down in order to regain his position.

Combining with the deep understanding of the present, Florentino, Martin, and even the first vice-chairman Tapias and others seem to be in the same camp, but in fact there are internal contradictions, which gives Calderon a good reason. Take the opportunity.

It is estimated that Florentino himself did not expect that his original situation of 90% will be benefited by the Calderon fisherman.

Only then did he have a profound past life. In the 2006 Real Madrid presidential election, Calderon took Mijatovic to the throne.

The relationship inside is too complicated, and there are too many entanglements of interests involved.

Carlo is definitely not here to tell Gao Shen, he just said something he heard in the box, such as Di Stefano, Valdano and Butragueno's evaluation of Gao Shen, as well as his own opinions on this. Some views of the game.

On the whole, Gao Shen handed in a perfect score in this derby.

But even so, Martin still doesn't plan to give Gao Shen a formal coaching contract.

"You should understand that Martin doesn't support you or trust you. On the contrary, he has been waiting for you to make mistakes," Carlo reminded.

Gao Shen absolutely believed in Carlo's character. He would say this, which proved that he really heard what he said.

Of course, Martin wouldn't be afraid of knowing this, because he was standing too high.

"Then he is wrong, I will definitely disappoint him!" Gao Shen said firmly.

Carlo frowned. He found that Gao Shen was very stubborn and assertive, which was completely different from his previous impression of Gao Shen, it was like a different person.

"Don't you see it yet? Beating Atletico at home is not really a challenge, then you have to face Arsenal under Wenger, you know? Arsenal have had six games so far this season. A clean sheet in a Champions League game, as long as you keep a clean sheet at Highbury Stadium, you can tie and even surpass AC Milan's record for the longest clean sheet in the history of the Champions League."

"And at Highbury Stadium, Arsenal have been undefeated in eight consecutive Champions League games. The last time they lost was in the quarter-finals in 2004. After a 1-1 draw at home in the first leg, they returned to home 1-2. Lost to Ranieri's Chelsea, and the Gunners have only conceded three goals in their eight unbeaten games."

Carlo's data is very detailed, nothing is wrong, which proves that Arsenal are indeed very strong.

In deep memory, Arsenal even reached the Champions League final this season, almost beating Rijkaard's Barcelona.

You must know that there are a large number of new players in the Arsenal team today, such as Cesc Fabregas, Reyes, Flamini, Toure, Eboue, etc. All of them are teenagers promoted by Wenger.

Although Arsenal is no longer the peak of its 49-game unbeaten run, it is still one of the strongest teams in Europe.

Seeing that Gao Shen was silent, Carlo shook his head and sighed, a little anxious.

"Do you know why everyone attaches so much importance to the top spot in the Champions League group stage?" Carlo asked.

Gao Shen thought for a while and replied, "In order to avoid the group leader of other groups?"

He wasn't quite sure whether this was the answer Carlo wanted, it was common sense.

"It's just a part of it, and more importantly, the first place in the group in the knockout round of the 16th round is the guest first, then the host. Many people understand this is that the first guest and then the host is a favorable schedule, but this is also one-sided. The most important reason is that , In the history of the knockout rounds of the Champions League, almost no team has been able to come back and reverse on the road after losing at home."

Gao deeply felt what Carlo wanted to convey, but he noticed Carlo's wording.

"Almost?"

"Yes, there is only one time in the history of the Champions League, that is in the Champions League semi-finals of the 1995-1996 season. After the Dutch Ajax lost 0-1 at home to Greece's Panathinaikos in the first leg, the second leg was 3-0 comeback, but lost to Juventus in the final, only this time."

Carlo increased his tone, "So, to a certain extent, in the Champions League knockout stage, as long as the opponent is defeated on the road, it often represents the right to promotion, so the schedule of the first guest and then the home will give the team a great psychological advantage. ."

Gao Shen suddenly realized that, sure enough, nothing happens without a reason.

Football is the most detailed and interesting sport in the world, and it is also the most fascinating and brain-burning sport.

"Now you know that by beating Arsenal, the probability of a comeback is almost zero, unless you can create a miracle!"

Carlo's starting point is not to break Gao Shen's confidence, but to persuade him to retreat.

Even if it really creates a miracle and defeats Arsenal, so what?

After playing Arsenal, the second and third place in the league will be followed by a decisive battle, visiting the Mestagna Stadium to challenge Valencia.

From Atletico Madrid to Arsenal to Valencia, three consecutive games are decisive battles, can Real Madrid bear it? Can Gao Shen handle it?

Not to mention, the Champions League quarter-finals and even the stronger Barcelona.

With the current lineup of Real Madrid, how could this kind of morale be able to withstand it?

Gao Shen hasn't spoken much, he can feel Carlo's kindness, UU reading www. Because of one carelessness, uukanshu.com may lose its reputation and ruin its future. The risk is too great.

But for him, this is a very rare opportunity.

"Mr. Carroll." Gao Shen exhaled softly and said lightly, "I still remember that you once told me that the basketball hoop outside belongs to your child, right?"

Carlo didn't know why, but nodded anyway.

"You want your child to play football, and you have trained him to play football since he was a child, but he just doesn't like football, he likes to play basketball. You were very angry for a while, and the two of you had a conflict because of it, until one day, He stands in front of you, looks up, and tells you loudly that he wants to try on the basketball team."

Carlo stared at Gao Shen blankly, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"Today, I thank you very much for telling me this, but I still say that, I want to try!"

Gao Shen looked directly at Carlo, his eyes were full of determination, without the slightest evasion.

"I know that from the environment, from the strength, from the probability, and from various data analysis, the possibility of us reversing Arsenal away is zero. I do not deny it, but I also believe that football games never rely on probability. To decide the outcome, even those bookmakers, they can only give a rough estimate, so there will be unpopularity.”

"I'm still young, I don't know how to calculate the benefits and losses, but I know that if I don't try it today, I will have regrets, I will regret it in the future, and I don't want to regret it!"

Carlo was a little stunned.

Adults always like to calculate all kinds of gains and losses, and they call it maturity, but children are more from the heart, just want to try to explore this new world on their own.

Who is right? Who is to blame?
