Chapter 194: Stepping Real Madrid into the relegation zone!

As veteran players such as Pep Guardiola, Kiko and Aguilera put their experience on their toes, the discussion became more and more heated. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the end, Gao Han, who was outside the door, couldn't stand anymore and simply walked in to participate.

As the head coach of the team, Gao Han's perspective on problems and the height of thinking about problems are also different from those of the players.

It should be said that he mainly focuses on the big picture.

Often many times, the players stand on the individual point of view, and feel very puzzled by some of the manager's arrangements, although they are also implemented in place, but they still don't understand in their heads.

This time he didn't figure it out, and the next time he encountered a similar problem, he was still blind.

Gao Han did not have the slightest reservation, he gave explanations to some of the players' doubts, and even for some of the mistakes he made, he was not afraid to admit honestly.

Because he believes that there is no one in this world who will not make mistakes, and since they will make mistakes, they must admit their mistakes.

Even as an authoritative manager, there is no need to hold the shelf forever.

In fact, his willingness to admit his mistakes was also appreciated by the players.

Through this internal discussion, it not only enhanced the understanding and familiarity between the players and the players, communicated some of each other's ideas, resolved some differences, but also strengthened the unity of the team's thinking.

This harvest was well reflected in the team training sessions in the following days, and the players' execution was significantly better, and their understanding and response to tactics and the situation on the field were also improved.

On September 9, Atletico Madrid sat at the Calderón Stadium to welcome the second round opponent of La Liga, Espanyol.

The team got off to a good start with a narrow 2-1 home win over Zaragoza in the first round and will be aiming to win the second round away at the promoted side.

Head coach Paco Flores vowed in an interview with the Catalan newspaper Daily Sport ahead of the trip that the Spaniard was confident of taking the three points from the Stadio Calderón.

But in fact, at the Calderón Stadium, Flores's team only lasted ten minutes before Atletico Madrid striker Torres broke the goal.

The Sheets then took advantage of the victory and in the 26th minute, Villa added another goal.

2-0, and the score remained until the end of the game.

But what really sparked a big discussion among fans and the media after the game was that the whole game was completely controlled by Atletico Madrid.

The Sheets had 61 per cent possession, 22 per cent higher than the 39 per cent of the Spaniards, much to the amazement of the entire Spanish football world.

What's even more terrifying is that in this game, Atletico Madrid tried 23 shots on goal, most of which were concentrated in the big penalty area, or at the front of the big penalty area, especially in the opening and closing stages, the offensive was the most fierce.

Espanyol's best player of the game was goalkeeper Alvaro Moura, which in itself speaks for itself.

With two wins in a row, Atletico Madrid grabbed six points at the beginning and got off to a good start.

But the team that started the league with the most eye-catching was Celta Vigo.

After beating Osasuna 3-0 in the first round, Victor Fernandez's side beat promoted Matenerife by three goals in the second round, winning two in a row and topping the table with six goal difference.

Deportivo La Coruna, who beat Deportivo 4-0 in the first round of the league, continued to win in the second round, beating Las Palmas 1-0 away.

In the La Liga standings, after two rounds, Celta Vigo topped the table with a goal difference.

Atletico Madrid and Deportivo both had five goal differences, but Atletico Madrid ended up high in second place and Deportivo La Coruna third.

Villarreal and Alaves, who have also won two in a row, are fourth and fifth respectively on goal difference.

Barcelona drew at home to Rayo Vallecano in the second round and are seventh with just four points.

City rivals Real Madrid drew at home to Malaga after losing to Valencia in the first round, picking up just one point from two rounds of games and sitting 16th in the table.

As soon as the results of the second round were released, they immediately caused a huge repercussion in Spain.

Although it has only been played for two rounds, the situation is still far from obvious, and it is too early to make a judgment, but many teams have also exposed problems.

For example, Real Madrid, Zidane has never been able to integrate into the team, especially at the beginning of the league, counting the two legs of the Super Cup, four games, one draw and three losses, and the start of the new season is quite bad.

But the test has only just begun.

After the second round, Real Madrid will start playing in the Champions League in midweek, away to Serie A giants Roma, and at the weekend, in the third round of the league, they will visit the Calderón Stadium and face city rivals Atletico Madrid for the third time this season.

With their own poor form, such a schedule is a disaster for Real Madrid.

Moreover, the current Champions League still adopts a two-round group stage system, with a large number of events, which will definitely be a big test for the Galaxy Battleship.

How to help Zidane integrate into the team in the shortest possible time has also become an imminent big problem for Bosque.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, was given another week of rest after the second round to prepare for the weekend against Real Madrid.

But next week, Atletico Madrid will also start playing in the UEFA Cup against Danish Premier League side Silkeborg.

However, unlike the Champions League, which is a huge number of competitions, the UEFA Cup is a two-legged knockout round all the way.

It is precisely because of the more relaxed schedule that Gao Han is also sitting at home and waiting for work.

…………

…………

After the second round on Sunday, there was a resumption of training on Monday morning, a holiday in the afternoon and Tuesday morning, and it was not until Tuesday afternoon that the team began to assemble again for some simple individual training and team-wide tactical training.

In the evening, Gao Han, accompanied by members of the coaching staff, watched the first round of the group stage of the Champions League Group A.

Zidane's suspension during his time at Juventus extended to Real Madrid, and this game was unavailable, Bosque replaced Guti, and center forward Morientes did not play, but McManaman was started.

At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Real Madrid and Roma had to fight for 90 minutes.

It wasn't until the fiftieth minute of the second half that Figo scored with a direct free-kick.

After that, Real Madrid played a wave of attacks, and Figo assisted Guti to score in the 63rd minute to extend the score.

But in the 73rd minute, Roma quickly recovered a goal, setting off a frenzy of the home team's counterattack, and even almost equalized several times.

The game was very exciting and intense, and Gao Han, who was waiting in front of the TV, was also very enjoyable to watch.

"Real Madrid has finally won!"

Gao Han's words suddenly made the four right-hand men in the office laugh.

Who thought before the season that Real Madrid would get off to a bad start?

It is estimated that Bosque has choked enough at the beginning of the game.

"After a long journey to Italy tonight and a ninety-five minutes in Rome, I wonder how much energy I have left on Saturday?"

If the previous sentence is still a bit ridiculous, then this sentence is naked and gloating.

"I think Bosque is most likely to revolve around Zidane, he is in the best form, and the two midfielders are expected to rotate at least one, and the two full-backs at the back are also very fierce, and they are likely to rotate as well. ”

As the team's strength and conditioning coach, Lorenzo Buenaventura has the most say in this regard.

Real Madrid has a strong bench, there is also a Serades in the midfield position, who is also a La Liga star, and there are substitutes such as Geremi in the backline, and the rotation is good, so there is no problem.

Of course, the risk of rotation is also very high.

Gao Han thought for a moment, "Lorenzo, increase the amount tomorrow to stimulate the state." ”

Buenaventura nodded, "Understood." ”

"Targeted training and pre-competition preparation are scheduled for Thursday and Saturday mornings, with another day off on Friday. ”

"Friday is still off?" Cantarero was surprised.

The third round is scheduled for Saturday night, so isn't it a bit ...... to have a holiday on Friday

Gao Han nodded, "We're going to have a double game in the next week!"

These words made all the four people present silent.

Now watching Real Madrid's double matches in a week, the consumption is so big, but I am waiting for work, which is really cool and enjoyable.

But then I have to encounter such a schedule, and it will not be easy.

What's more, Atletico Madrid's bench squad this season is really not strong enough to play a war of attrition.

"Sergio, Lorenzo, you have to keep a close eye on the physical condition of every player in the team and give me a report every day. Gao Han looked at the two assistants and admonished.

Needless to say, Sergio Garcia and Lorenzo Buenaventura are also highly regarded as one of the best physical trainers in the world.

Judging from the pre-season preparations, Buenaventura is indeed very good.

"The game against Real Madrid on Saturday is very important!"

Gao Han stood up from his seat and said with a serious face.

"We're going to have to fight on multiple fronts, and the momentum we have built up at the beginning of the season will determine how far we can go on this path, and we can't break it off in the hands of Real Madrid. ”

Everyone also understands that Real Madrid is determined to take revenge, even if it costs a lot to beat Roma, but it will definitely go all out.

Atletico Madrid's momentum is accumulated by beating Real Madrid twice, and if it loses to Real Madrid, then this momentum will be dispersed.

This is a big test for the promoted horses.

"In the third round of the league, I had only one goal. ”

Gao Han pointed to the blackboard behind him, which contained the latest La Liga standings.

"That is to move our ranking up a little bit, and to step on the ranking of our sworn enemies even lower. ”

After saying that, he couldn't help but smile.

The four assistants also felt his confidence and laughed.

Atletico Madrid are currently in second place, and if you move up the ladder, you will be the leader.

It's a novelty for a promoted horse to take the lead.

What's even fresher is that Real Madrid, which has many superstars, will step further down and it will be the relegation zone.

I believe that from Chairman Lao Hill to ordinary fans, they must be happy to see this scene. (To be continued.) )
