Gao Shen still uimated the thiess of politis' faces.

  When seeing Juan Carlos I, the Spanish king, shook hands with Gao Shen with a smile, expressing his expectations for Real Madrid under Gao Shen's coag, and he even said without blushing, "I like your stubbornness!"

  There were a lot of people in the box, including Florentino and Butragueno, who were all smiling as they watched it all.

  Gao Shen really wao say: Sihat's the case, let's talk about the handover of the throne!

  But in the end, he resisted the urge, because he didn't know what the sequences of annoying the King of Spain would be.

  Why bother?

  Juan Carlos I really deserves to be the No. 1 pseudo-fan of Real Madrid. He has watched football for decades, but he still doesn't know much about football. He only knows that Real Madrid has pyed well i games. He ences Gao Shen to tihis tactical style of py a Bara in the Champions League final.

  Gao Shen agreed perfunctorily, apanied by a smiling face.

  But overall, the meeting was quite pleasant.

  ...

  "The king has an exclusive box here all year round. inally, he did here tonight."

  After leaving the king's box, Florentiuro his box with Gao Shen and Butragueno and expio Gao Shen the reason for Juan Carlos' arrival along the way.

  "But when he heard that I asked you to have dinner, he suddenly came and said that he wao meet you, so I had te it."

  Gao Shen didn't think there roblem.

  Somewhat honored, after all, that is also the king of Spain.

  But this kind of meeting is actually not much fun. If he could, he would prefer to meet in private, such as chatting about his fifteen hundred mistresses, or that he doesn't have a beautiful granddaughter or something.

  "Tonight, in addition to the three of us, I also specially invited Valdano and Sacchi. Both of them are very experienced coaches and have always wao find a eet you." Florentino ughed.

  After listening deeply, he became ied.

  Both of them are seniors in football.

  Je Valdano, Maradona's teammate, Argentina's hero in winning the World Cup, and also the world-reized king of football aesthetics, his n is also sought after by tless media and fans, very thoughtful.

  If Bara's nist is Cruyff, then Real Madrid is Valdano.

  Of course, unlike Cruyff, who is mainly critical, Valdano is more of a euphemistic exhortation, which is also the key factor for him to always be Florentinht-hand man.

  As for Sacchi, there is o talk about it. The status of this name in football is absolutely supreme.

  Gao Shen himself has not read Sacchi's books much, and even learhe shadow trainihod from him. Now that he see himself, he is naturally gearing up.

  As soon as he ehe box, Gao Shen saw two middle-aged men in suits aher shoes, and they all had very spicuous signs.

  Sacchi had a big bald head, wearing a bck suit and white shirt, while Valdano had a slightly curly back, wearing a dark blue suit with a light blue shirt underh.

  When Gao Shen and others pushed the door open, the two of them didn't know what they were discussing, and the topic stopped abruptly when they opehe door.

  "Hey, Gao!"

  When Sacchi saw the three of them, he immediately ughed and stood up to say hello.

  In trast, Valdano is more euphemistic.

  This also shows the different personalities of the two seniors.

  Florentino graciously introduced the two football seniors to Gao Shen, as well as his personal assistant Manuel Redondo. Real Madrid legends don't matter.

  Gao Shen has always been curious about why Florentino invited him to dinner, but there was no answer until the host and guest sat down, and Florentino didn't mean to domihe se but let the topic fall naturally to Real Madrid.

  Real Madrid in the ret period is indeed very topical, especially lofty.

  But the biggest of the famous coaches is not the teical and tactical aspects of the team, but the ma and motivation of the locker room.

  They all agree that this is what Gao Shen has do so far, even impeccable.

  In the past two months in charge of Real Madrid, Gao Shen has actually made a lot of mistakes. Some were forced by his oppos, and some were iently. As the so-called authorities are fans, bystanders are clear, Sacchi, Valdano, and Butragueno are all around to see more clearly.

  From the standpoint of coag alone, Gao Shen is actually very immature.

  In front of the two masters, it is difficult fao Shen to have the opportunity to py an axe. He listens more and occasionally aheir questions. For example, he does not deny that he is deeply influenced by Sacchi, including using the shadow trainihod in training.

  Sacchi gave a lot of suggestions and opinions, such as some of his urainihods.

  "Actually, your experien coag Real Madrid is really simir to mine."

  Sacchi is like a natural orator, talk about everything, and he is very ied in the deep.

  Perhaps because of what he said, both had a very simir experience.

  In Italian football, Sacchi has a niame called the Hillbilly.

  As the name suggests, he came out of a small try town and grew up with three ideals: director, swriter, and football coach.

  Luckily, instead of being a director and a swriter, he became a head coach.

  In fact, he has no football talent. He worked as a salesman in his father's shoe factory as an adult, which trained his eloquehere was a team called Luko in his hometown. With his strength at the time, he was not enough to join this team. But he became the head coach of this "strong team" by ce.

  He was twenty-six years old then.

  The pyers ieam were generally older than him, for example, the goalkeeper was 29 years old and the striker was 32 years old.

  But unlike Gao Shen's first-time coag stelr performance, Sacchi's debut was not ideal, and he didn't see any talent at all.

  "I was fasated by Holnd's total attad total defense. I also liked Real Madrid and Brazil's football. I like to study and think. I want to uand how their pyers py on the field and how the whole team is iion. This is a dynamic system that is well worth studying."

  Many people now say that Sacchi's ideas were very advanced, but he believes that there were already a lot of discussions in this regard in Italy at that time.

  In the 1960s, uhe coag of the Swede Liedholm, A achieved remarkable results in European football, whi turo the transformation of the ealian football tactics, making free meandard figuration.

  By the 1980s, almost the entire Serie A yed by free agents.

  Juventus lost to Hamburg in the Champions League final, which triggered a refle on the free agent tacti Italian football at the time. Although the old dy soon won the championship in Heysel, it was difficult to resist this wave.

  Liedholm, who carried forward the free agent tacti Serie A, took the lead in seeking ges. He began to adopt a hybrid regional defense in Rome, but Sacchi at that time believed that this was not a good way.

  Liedholm's Roma appear to be zoning, but the pyers are actually marking in their own areas.

  Sacchi believes this is because Liedholm is unwilling to give up freedom and man-to-man altogether.

  Therefore, after he took over Liedholm's A coag position, he pletely set off a revolution, which is the era of the Min dynasty that many people talked about ter.

  "Kid, you have to know that as big as a try, as small as a team, or a person, in fact, they all have their own unique characteristics. We in Italy have a defeatism plex, and we are used to being weak. For example, Brera said, 'hysically worse than others because of our eating habits, so we only take defeactics.'"

  "But when I was young, I went to many tries with my father. I don't agree with this view. Even if we do better than other tries in other sports fields, how we say that our body is not as good as others?"

  "The real problem is here." Sacchi poio his temple, indig that there was a mental problem.

  "The ziness of character and the mentality of being successful have bound us and made us unwilling to ge ourselves."

  Sacchi's remarks are, of course, talking about the football atmosphere in Italy at that time, but he is not talking about the current Real Madrid. He even thought of football in his own try.

  "In my football philosophy, greatness is something that goes beyond trophies and medals."

  "Van Basten asked me an iing question back then: Why do we not only have to win but also win vingly? I couldn't give a ving a the time, but now, I ."

  "French football magazine once selected the teest teams in football history, and the world football also has a simir sele, and my A is ranked fourth. The first three are Hungary in 1954, Brazil in 1970, and Holnd in 1974. They were all national teams."

  "That's my ao Van Basten, that's why!"

  It was the first time that Gao Shen heard the wisdom of the senior coaches at such close quarters. Although he had seen simir insights in tactical manuals, it was far more impactful to hear it directly from the individuals involved.

  Moreover, Sacchi himself was an excellent speaker.

  "I've cluded that all these great teams have ohing in on: they trol the ball, they trol the field, they trol the rhythm, they even trol their oppos."

  "In other words, when attag, they trol the ball and when defending, they trol the space."

  When Gao Shen heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

  Sacchi's words undeniably captured a fual truth.

  That was the case with his Min dynasty, and ter with Pep Guardio's Bara dream team.

  These teams are great, and they all share this on trait.

  And this should be the universal goal pursued by all ideal head coaches. Although few teams have mao achieve it throughout history, it does not prevent everyone from striving toward this objective.
