On the evening of May 3rd, at the Sardinero Stadium.

  Ihirty-sixth round of La Liga, Real Madrid pyed away to Santander.

  Gao Shen was always standing in front of the visiting team's coach, enduring the r tsunami of sound from the home team fans iands.

  The sound created by more than 20,000 people was still very shog.

  But this was far less attractive thaag storm that Real Madrid unleashed from the beginning.

  Gao Shen still used the 4-2-3-1 formation that Real Madrid was most familiar with, but the starting lineup had been adjusted.

  The goalkeeper was Casils, the defense was Felipe, Woodgate, Ramos, and ho, the double midfielders were a bination of Pablo Garcia and Baptista, and the attag trio in front were Robinho, Guti, and Beckham, with Negredo as the siriker.

  Zidane, Raul, and Ronaldo were once again pced on the bench by Gao Shen, and they did not even make it into the squad.

  This was mainly because Bueura had to adjust the physical fitness and state of every pyer to prepare for the Champions League final.

  ...

  At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid took the initiative to press, press, and oppress from a high position, mainly ter-attag, and suppressed Santander.

  But it was Brazilian midfielder Felipe Melo who took the lead in sg the first shot of the game for Sp Santander.

  Gao Shen had an impression of this pyer. He had good strength and was both offensive and defensive, but his le shot failed to threaten Real Madrid's goal.

  After that, Pablo Garcia responded with a long shot from the outside of the penalty area.

  Guti and Robinho both took shots oer another, but failed to score.

  With the deepening of the game, Real Madrid's advantage on the court became more and more obvious, the ball possession rate kept rising, and opportunities were frequently created, with the goal getting closer and closer.

  Ih minute, Robinho dribbled the ball from the left to force a breakthrough, created a foul, and won a free kick from the left of the front court for Real Madrid. Beckham took the penalty a it accurately into the penalty area.

  The st round of red cards was suspended, and Ramos, who was carrying a heavy burden, jumped high and opehe sg for Real Madrid, 1-0!

  Just six mier, Beckham made another quick pass from the right. hrew off the defender and headed the goal, giving Real Madrid another victory, 2-0!

  After sg two goals in a row, Real Madrid pyed more rexedly, and Santander did not dare to rashly press the attack.

  The first half ended with a 2-0 lead for Real Madrid.

  What really excited Gao Shen was the game process.

  Real Madrid's passing success rate reached 87%, the highest since he took over, and the ball possession rate also reached an astonishing 72%. The team created 11 shots in the first half and scored two goals.

  Perhaps simply looking at the data is a bit vague, but what reflects behind the data is that the Real Madrid pyers' uanding of the advaactical system is obviously more thh and the execution is more in pce.

  It's a pletely different situation than when he first took over the team.

  It also be seen from this point how difficult it is to train and run a team.

  It has been more than two months since Gao Shen coached Real Madrid, and this has barely made the pyers familiar and adaptable, and he has gohrough so many hard battles.

  ...

  After ging sides in the sed half, Real Madrid tio maintain the pressure on Santander.

  Ih minute, Felipe quickly plugged in on the left, broke into the left rib of the penalty area, kicked the goal, and was saved by the goalkeeper. Negredo followed and grabbed the ball, turo protect the ball, and passed it back to the poihe penalty spot. Guti quickly folloushed the empty goal.

  Three to zero!

  Leading by three goals, Real Madrid basically sealed the victory.

  Gao Shen quickly made adjustments.

  Juan Mata came off the bench again, repg Guti as the team's attag midfielder.

  But no ohought that after this substitution, Mata once again showed an amazing performance.

  He pulled straight to the left, cooperated with Felipe and Robinho, and passed the ball after f a breakthrough on the left. Robinho ran to the left of the front of the penalty area and received a cross from Mata. The kicker volleyed and once again pierced the goal of Santander.

  4-0!

  Gao Shen didn't expect that there was an ued surprise, and he ughed out loud with joy.

  He inally pyed in a semi-main lineup, thinking about training young pyers while seg victory. Uedly, there would be such a surprise.

  He quickly made a sed substitution, repg Negredo with teenager Daniel Parejo.

  After the substitution, Robinho was the striker, Juan Mata was on the left, and Parejo was the midfielder.

  Then, Gao Shen repced Beckham with Callejon.

  After several adjustments, Real Madrid's frontcourt was dominated by young pyers.

  Maybe the young pyers were eager to express themselves, or maybe Santander's morale had dropped after g foals in a row. It was more likely that Real Madrid pyers were more rexed. Anyway, on the court, Real Madrid still stabilized Santander, stantly creating opportunities and kig out a very exg attag storm.

  It could be seen that these pyers were w hard and giving their best. After losing the ball, they terattacked as soon as possible. After getting the ball, they all rushed forward, appearing very eic.

  What's more, they were all super strong.

  Even Parejo, who pyed for the first time, got rid of the ball in the middle, and even passed two oppos a a good pass to left-leaning Mata, but unfortunately, Mata failed to score.

  Gao Shen was overjoyed to watch from the sidelines.

  He really did not expect that this group of young boys would bring him such a surprise.

  But again, it was not surprising.

  Although they were young, each of these pyers would be famous European pyers iure, and even the core of a strong team. All of them were of outstanding strength. Ohey were given a ce, they would shine immediately.

  In the deepest memory, this group of young pyers had not appeared so early, but now, everything had been ged by him.

  This was something to be proud of.

  Because everyone would remember that when Gao Shen coached Real Madrid, he discovered these pyers and gave them a erge.

  Gao Shen was even thinking that, if things go on like this, when it es to digging out young pyers iure, I am afraid that there will be nothing to do with Wenger.

  ...

  Real Madrid finally beat Santander 4-0 at the Sardinero Stadium.

  This was the most hearty victory since Gao Shen took charge of Real Madrid.

  The ball possession rate reached 73%, aook 23 kicks and scored foals.

  Whether it was the process of the game or the final result, it was the most satisfying battle since Gao Shen took charge. Regardless of the strength of the oppo, it was even more exg than the one against A.

  At the post-match press ference, Gao Shen once again challenged Bara.

  In this round, Real Madrid pyed first, and Bara pyed a day ter.

  Gao Shen said at the post-match press ferehat Real Madrid had proved to everyos determination and fighting spirit through wonderful offensive football. He firmly believed that Real Madrid's pyers would win the remaining two rounds.

  "I round, Bara pyed a day earlier than us, this round is a day ter than us, they have more time to prepare, but I still want to remind our oppos that Vigo Celta is not easy to py at all."

  ...

  I don't know whether it was the deep psychological warfare that pyed a role, or whether there roblem with Bara itself. In the away game against Celta Vigo, Rijkaard's team was uo score a goal for a long time.

  Whether it was overall strength or on the se, Bara had the advantage, but they just failed to break Vigo Celta's goal.

  Even Ronaldinho, this game was surrounded by Vigo Celta and failed to perform.

  Until the 75th mio'o took the ball a a good pass in the frontcourt. Then Ia, who ran out of the gap, volleyed with his left foot and hit the inside of the left n, boung into Vigo Celta's goal.

  Oo zero!

  Subsequently, Rijkaard immediately repced Ronaldinho with Edmilson, and then repced Van Bommel with Xavi.

  In the end, Bara beat Celta Vigo 1-0 away with Ia's goal.

  ...

  The game was a bit of a surprise, but Bara's 1-0 win was somewhat overshadowed by Real Madrid's 4-0 victory. What's mratifying is that Xavi came off the bench again.

  He pyed off the bench for two secutive games, and the pying time was extended from the previous ten mio half an hour, which was obviously in preparation for the uping Champions League final.

  More importantly, defenders such as Marcos and Edmilson have already e bae after aoday's Bara is strong and strong, only missing Messi.

  At the post-match press ference, Rijkaard gratuted Real Madrid for their big victory, but also believed that Bara could have produced a big victory.

  "But our oppos are more tenacious."

  For Xavi, Rijkaard expressed satisfa, whether it was the performaer the eback or the recovery situation.

  "He is a very promising pyer. I believe he will be of great help to the team. His timely eback is the greatest help for us."

  Another seriously injured pyer, Messi, has also started training with the team. Reports suggest that Messi is likely to return before the Champions League final. However, Rijkaard stated that he has not yet received an official report from the team doctor.

  "I 't give an accurate stateme, but whether it's me, the pyers ieam, or even all the fans of Bara, they are all looking forward to Leo's return. He will make our front line more offensively potent."

  Regarding Messi's potential participation in the Champions League final, Rijkaard remained cautious.

  "I 't tell; it depends on Messi's recovery."

  heless, Rijkaard emphasized that if Messi make it to the Champions League final, it will be a signifit boost for Bara.

  He attributed the team's ret loss of points to numerous injuries and a grueling schedule.

  Now, with Real Madrid fag a tougher schedule and Bara's injured pyers returning, Rijkaard is brimming with fidence.

  "We will not lose. Whether it is La Liga or the Champions League, we will not give our oppos any ce!"

  "This season, we are going to win the double, and no one stop us!"
