Chapter 180 G8
In the eagerly waiting of countless fans, the long summer is finally over, and they can finally bid farewell to the painful days of no ball games.
Naturally, Real Madrid attracted the most attention from media fans this summer. Last year, Florentino stepped down and Calderon took over, which made all Meilingers sweat for Real Madrid.The mortal enemy is extremely powerful, and he is in the midst of civil strife.Fortunately, Capello, who was regarded as the savior, finally proved his strength as a champion coach after the winter break after experiencing the initial boos.
The arrival of the Argentine Prince Gago allowed Real Madrid to finally break the monopoly of their rivals and win the league title again after a lapse of four years.
And just like ten years ago, Capello, who won the championship, was not able to stay for the same reason.The German Schuster entered Real Madrid. This midfielder who played for Barcelona and Real Madrid successively during his player period promised Real Madrid fans that he would bring the "beautiful football" they wanted to the Blancos in the new season.
Before the start of the season, the club arranged a total of ten warm-up games for the team. Since the team's lineup changed a bit in the summer, a lot of games are needed to run the lineup.
After all the club's players came to report, Schuster made a self-introduction in front of all the players.
"You all know my name and my coaching style. Last season, although I led Getafe to defend, we couldn't do that in Real Madrid. This season, we only have to attack!"
This was Schuster's first sentence. Gago heard the helplessness in his tone. In Real Madrid, the head coach doesn't have to bring the championship to the team, but he must play beautifully.
"Then, let the newly joined players come up and introduce themselves, and then start a warm-up match, let me know your strength."
Schuster's words made everyone understand him, and he didn't like to talk too much, but his personality was not as strict as Capello's.This midfield genius with a weird temper when he was young has softened a lot after coaching.
The first one to go up was Pepe. This fierce looking bald player was a very cheerful and lively player.
"My name is Copelle-Lavillan-Lima-Ferreira. This name is a bit long. I guess you can't remember it. You can just call me Pepe. Anyway, our Brazilian names are relatively long, and our nicknames are more catchy. .”
After he said this, Marcelo and Robinho rolled their eyes in tacit understanding, and the two Brazilians were also shot while lying down.
With Pepe taking the lead, the rest of the players went up one by one, and the one who attracted the most attention was naturally this year's champion, Arjen Robben.The somewhat balding man has proved what he can be as a world-class winger at Chelsea.
"I am Arjen Robben. I am very happy to join Real Madrid. This is a team with a glorious past and a bright future. I hope to be here with you to achieve honors that have never been touched."
Since more people were introduced this summer, everyone consciously didn't say much.Moreover, basically everyone knows their teammates this season, and those who are not familiar with them are the youth training players of the second team.
Seeing the new teammates step up one by one, Gago remembered the time when he first came to Real Madrid, when the atmosphere in the team was rather depressing.Due to poor results in the first half of the season, Capello's position is unstable, and the atmosphere in the locker room is also quite dignified.Fortunately, with the help of Raul and Guti, Gago integrated into the team very easily, and then gained a place in the locker room by virtue of his outstanding performance.
After everyone was introduced, Schuster came up and divided the players into two groups. The team practice match was the same as when Gago joined the team.This is also a newcomer to show his strength to the old people, let the teammates weigh whether you are worthy of wearing the Real Madrid jersey.
Gago got his own jersey this season, and because of Emerson's departure, the club gave him the number 8.This number represents Real Madrid's expectations for him. You must know that the current club's transfer manager Mijatovic has worn the No. 8 jersey during his playing career in Real Madrid.
The current head coach Schuster also wore No. 8 when he switched from Barcelona to Real Madrid.
Of course, the greatest No. 8 in the history of Real Madrid is naturally Michelle Gonzalez, one of the "Five Eagles".Even in the star-studded Real Madrid, Michelle Gonzalez can occupy a midfield position in the team's best team.
Now that Gago wears this number, all the fans are looking forward to it. I hope he can inherit Michelle's mantle and create the Real Madrid dynasty once again.
According to "Marca" statistics, in the new season Real Madrid's jersey sales, Gago's "G8" is second only to captain Raul's "R7".From this, it is conceivable that Gago is now very popular in the eyes of the fans. The current Meilinger has completely transferred his love for Redondo to this genius who has a similar appearance and playing style.
"Fair, the new jersey is nice."
Jia Ge deliberately walked in front of Guti and turned his back on him. The Fourteenth Master was really annoyed and praised him.
"Hey, I think so too."
Schuster and his assistant coach divided the players into two teams on the sidelines. He raised his head and saw Gago's actions, and smiled slightly. He also wore this white jersey back then. Unfortunately, he failed to stay for Real Madrid. deep memory.
He is also very familiar with Gago. You must know that in the match against Getafe he coached in the league last season, Gago came off the bench and helped the team equalize with one pass and one shot.Schuster, who thought he had the chance to win, only scored one point in the end. At that time, Gago had just finished running in with the team. The kind of organization and scheduling that commanded the entire team allowed Schuster to see his peak elegant demeanor.
He wants to have a great offense this season, so he naturally needs to establish a playmaker. The reason why Real Madrid played so beautifully during the "Galaxy Battleship" period, apart from the superior strength of the frontcourt stars, is that Zidane, a midfielder art master, threaded the needle among them.Going forward, before Zidane came to Real Madrid, it was the elegant and calm scheduling of the prince Redondo.
It is because of the gorgeous organization of the two midfield masters for a long time that Real Madrid has a tradition of attacking for more than ten years.Most of the core of the current fans watched the football at that time, so they all think that the gorgeous offense is the tradition of Real Madrid.
Schuster's player era was also a generation of midfield masters, one of the few top midfielders of an era.
There are countless midfielders in this world, but there are only a few who can be called masters. In the 90s of the last century, there were only three, Real Madrid's Redondo, Barcelona's Guardiola, and Milan's Albertini. 80s four, Platini, Zico, Maradona and Schuster!
Although Schuster fell out with the national team because of his stubborn temper when he was young, he failed to reach the peak he should have been, but no one doubts his status as a master.
"The emergence of double midfielders is because no one can have the skill of Schuster. He basically handles everything in front of the back line..."
This sentence is the best evaluation of him. After he became a coach, he thinks about everything from the perspective of midfield.He wants to play gorgeous offensive football, so he naturally has to create a midfield combination that can continuously feed the striker.As for the four main positions in the midfield, he has not yet determined, but no matter what, Gago must be one of them.
The performance of the Argentine genius in the America's Cup made all the head coaches shine. His versatility in the midfield is in line with the current trend of football development.And his age is doomed to still have a lot of room for improvement. After retiring, Schuster has always regretted why he was so willful as a player. He could have created more brilliant honors.
He wants to build a midfield superstar to make up for his regrets as a player. Gago is the most like him he has ever seen.Many media say that Gago is "Redondo II", and some experts also say that Gago has the shadow of Guardiola, and his deciduous ball is even more like Albertini's presence, but no one said that he is like Schuster you.
"He plays with his head, he can pass the ball from the back, hold the ball in midfield and score goals up front."
This is Cruyff's evaluation of Schuster. At that time, Schuster had defected from Barcelona to Real Madrid, but Cruyff still praised him so much. One can imagine his talent.
In football, the definition given to Schuster is a player who has integrated the "quality of a great midfielder" and "the qualifications of a genius central defender" into the "nature of a super midfielder", galloping vertically and horizontally on the entire "central axis" super midfielder.
Now Schuster hopes to train Gago and let him complete the peak that he has not been able to achieve.
During the team practice match, the newly joined players are on the first team, while the main lineup from last season is on the other team.Gago and Diarra, Guti and Robinho formed the midfield, Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy partnered as forwards, Marcelo, Cannavaro, Ramos and Torres in defense.The goalkeeper is naturally Iker Casillas.
As for the rookie team, in Gago's opinion, the level of luxury was not inferior to theirs.The strikers are Higuain and Soldado, and the midfielders are Sneijder, Robben, Baptista and De La Red.The goalkeeper is Dudek, in front of him is the central defender combination of Pepe and Metzelder, and the two full backs are Drenthe and Heinze.
"Let me see what skills these newcomers have!"
Guti shook his hair coquettishly, and tied it up with a headband.
"But don't hold back. The strength of these newcomers is not simple. If we capsize in the gutter and be defeated by them, then we won't have the majesty of our predecessors in the future."
Gago couldn't help reminding Master Fourteen of his attitude of taking things lightly.
"You need to say that the combined value of these guys exceeds [-] million euros. Even if half of them are parallel imports, they are strong enough to sweep most teams in La Liga."
The fourteenth master rolled his eyes and told his own fallacies.
