Martin finally got his wish and got a photo with Gao Shen.
It was after Real Madrid's st training session in Min, Italy. Apanied by Butragueno, Martin came to Valdebebas to ence Real Madrid pyers to tiheir efforts and strive to defeat A on the road.
In the photo, Gao Shen is standing on one side of Martin, and oher side is Real Madrid captain Raul. Uhe captain, who smiled politely, Martin smiled brightly.
This photo was not only posted on Real Madrid's official website, but also sent to major media close to Real Madrid, such as AS and Marca, as strong evideo crify the flict between Chairman Martin and Gao Shen.
When describing the photo on Real Madrid's official website, it said: Chairman Martin had a cordial versation with head coach Gao Shen, and firmly believed that he could lead the team to reverse Bara, win La Liga and the Champions League this season, and achieve the double !
Gao Shen still did not attend the pre-match press ference, and Maqueda attended in his pce, announg the 18-man squad for Min, which also allowed him to avoid the media enta.
Now Real Madrid is at a critical moment in the sprint, and Gao Shen does not want an act at this time to distract the team.
Results are what he cares most about now.
As for his grievah Martin, wheime is right, he will make an end.
But it must not be now!
...
...
When Real Madrid sat at the Bernabeu, Vilrreal equalized the score, and the team was deeply involved in the rumors that Chairman Martin was furious. Far away in Italy, A also ushered ihirty-fifth round of Serie A, and challenged Messina away.
Logically speaking, this should have been a game without too much suspense, but who would have thought that in the opening seven minutes, a kick from Kadze gave Messina a free kick to score a goal, allowing A to fall behind.
Even more ued was the ensuing game.
Messina, far weaker than A, is fighting fation and pyed very bravely at home. Dangerous fouls and rough tackles abounded.
Kaka was brutally fouled by an oppo ih minute and was taken off the field on a stretcher. Ambrosini came on as a substitute.
Just five mier, a strained his muscles and had to e off, with Stam taking his pce.
Ih minute, Ambrosini, who had just pyed for Kaka for only 14 minutes, was also injured, and Jankulovsky came on as a substitute.
Ihan half an hour, three pyers were injured in a row, and the three substitution pces were used up early, which is unbelievable.
However, A was also a blessing in disguise. Jankulovsky, who had just e off the bench, plugged in from the back of a rib and scored a volley from a small angle, sg a goal for A. It was his first league goal for Min.
Before the end of the first half, Gattuso's iron tree blossomed, and A had anoal to reverse the score.
Subsequently, the game was deadlocked until stoppage time in the sed half, befirdino received Seedorf's assist to seal the victory for A.
But just after the goal, Messina's defender Aronica fouled when defending Seedorf. The two cshed and spped each other in the face. The referee sent both off with red cards.
In the end, A reversed Messina three to one away.
A mao close the points gap as Juventus drew with Lazio 1-1 at home.
With three rounds left in Serie A, A is still three points behind Juventus.
...
Although it is a bit unkind, when Gao Shen heard the news of A, he felt genuinely happy.
Real Madrid's scouts have been closely following A, and the news has been passed baadrid oer another.
a suffered a groin straio excessive fatigue, and it has beeermihat he will miss the sed leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Ambrosini suffered a muscle strain. This is the third secutive season he has been injured in the same area, and he is definitely out of the game against Real Madrid.
Kaka was treated with ipresses after being lifted off by a stretcher, but his situation was not particurly clear.
Also unclear are Cafu and Shevko. Both pyers were injured. Shevko was the main target of Messina's fouls during the game. After the game, his old Achilles tendon injury recurred. Cafu, oher hand, suffered a knee injury after being violently tackled by his oppo. It was uaiher they would be able to py until Real Madrid set off for Min.
This made Gao Shen wonder if he really was the hero of an online novel.
Otherwise, how to expin that A suffered such a tragic blow before the crucial decisive battle?
Are you sure it's not that the author is cheating on himself?
However, Real Madrid's situation is not much better. Gao Shen also experienced a false arm before.
After a training session, Woodgate developed muscle pain, which worried both Gao Shen and the coag staff.
Elgra has not fully recovered, and his state ot be guaranteed. Pavin, Mejia, and others are all overwhelmed. If Woodgate is also ihen Real Madrid's tral defense will really be in trouble.
To this end, Gao Shen specially arranged a team to take care of Woodgate, take X-rays once a day, and keep an eye on his dition.
It was not until the team went to Min that Gao Shen got a clear answer from the team doctor. Woodgate's injury was not serious and he could participate in the San Siro game.
At this time, he was relieved.
...
When Real Madrid arrived in Min, Italian football also set off a wave of support for A.
Although the first leg was a 0-3 defeat, A may still have a ce at home.
Former A coach Zaccheroni said in an interview with *Turin Sports Daily* that the zero-to-three loss was indeed desperate, but it was not without the ce of a eback at home.
"A's real strength lies in their offense, while Real Madrid's weakness lies in their defense, so I don't think the game is over. A is likely to make a eback at home."
A's general manager Galliani also accepted an interview with the media the day before the game and answered a lot of questions about the team. He also looked forward to this semi-final, believing that the team might reverse.
"I watched Real Madrid against Vilrreal and their defense roblem. I think we should be more active at home, and I am vihat the team will tio fight until the end of the league and the Champions League."
The former A coad former teical director of Real Madrid Sacchi remained ral on the game.
He believes that in the San Siro battle, A is i a disadvantage because it lost too much at the Bernabeu.
"paring the two teams, A will be more mature, while Real Madrid is more unstable, especially their defense."
Sacchi spoke highly of Real Madrid, where Gao Shen was coached. He believed that being able to lead Real Madrid out of the predit in times of crisis and achieve the current achievements is amazing enough.
"But that alone is not enough."
"A have a lot of decisive attackers, such as Kaka, Inzaghi, and Shevko, and at the San Siro, they will be a huge test for Real Madrid's defense."
"Ai has no choice; he only attack!"
However, Sacchi also mentiohat Real Madrid's defensive level has improved signifitly under Gao Shen's coag.
"He brought a brand new defensive cept to Real Madrid. He even allowed the superstars in the frontcourt to actively participate in ter-robbing and pressing, which was unbelievable before, and it also greatly improved Real Madrid's defense."
Sacchi believes that Real Madrid is very likely to advance, but A has a ce to create a miracle.
...
"Min have really been doing miracles i two seasons."
On the m of the match day, at Real Madrid's tactical meeting, Gao Shen showed the pyers freshly released reports from Italian neers, many of which were cheering for A.
When Gao Shen said this seriously, without giving the pyers a ce to react, he shrugged and said in a very helpless tohey have rich experience of being reversed. This is something we must pay attention to."
The pyers were stunned for a moment, and then the audience burst into ughter.
"Boss, you are too bad!"
Gao Shen didn't think so, but he didn't say anything wrong.
A is indeed creating miracles. For example, after winning 4-1 at home st season, the miracle was reversed by Deportivo Deportivo at 0-4 on the road, and the miracle of being reversed by Liverpool after leading three goals in the Champions League final st season.
Unfortunately, they are the victims of both miracles.
"Okay!" After Gao Shen waited for the pyers to ugh, he cpped his hands vigorously, signaling everyoo be quiet.
Despise the oppo strategically, but pay attention to the oppoactically.
The reason why Gao Shen deliberately stepped on A is to relieve the pressure on the pyers, but when it es to the game, enough attention must be paid.
A is not a soft persimmon.
"At San Siro, Ai will defiry to do everything he to scoals."
The pyers nodded oer another. Only by sg goals A have a ce.
"Acc to our informatioa is estimated to be uo py, unless Ai wants to bet on his future in the World Cup. Ambrosini will definitely not be able to py, so their defense will be a lot weaker than in the first leg, and this will be our ce."
The existence of the away goals rule in the Champions League has greatly enriched the excitement of the knockout rounds.
Many people say that it ences defense in disguise, which is why the saying goes that cups rely on defense and leagues rely on offense.
That's right.
But at the same time, its presence also ences offense.
For instance, Real Madrid is now 3-0 at home and A has not scored any away goals. So, when it es to away games, Gao Shen let his team py freely and attack without any scruples.
In this case, as long as Real Madrid grabs one away goal, A must score five goals.
Even if Real Madrid's defense is poor, is it easy to score five goals?
Ai now has to ponder carefully: is he sure that he prevent Real Madrid from sg goals while attag with all his strength?
