Chapter 194 Stepping Real Madrid into the relegation zone!

As old players such as Guardiola, Kiko, and Aguilera impart their experiences in a heart-to-heart manner, the discussions have become more and more intense.

Finally, Gao Han, who was outside the door, couldn't stand any longer, so he simply walked in and participated.

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

It should be said that he mainly focuses on the overall situation.

Often, players often feel confused about some of the head coach's arrangements from an individual perspective. Although they have been implemented in place, they still can't understand it in their minds.

This time I didn't understand it, and the next time I encountered similar problems, he would still be fooled.

Gao Han did not reserve at all. He explained some of the players' doubts, and even he was not afraid to admit some of the mistakes he had made.

Because he believed that no one in this world would not make mistakes. Since he would make mistakes, he had to admit his mistakes.

Even as an authoritative head coach, there is no need to always be an air.

In fact, his courage to admit his wrong attitude has also been praised by the players.

Through this internal discussion, not only can the players understand and familiarize themselves with each other, communicate some of their ideas, resolve some differences, but also strengthen the unity of the team's upper and lower ideas.

This gain was well reflected in the team training class in the following few days. The players' execution ability was obviously more in place, and their understanding and response to tactics and situations on the court were also further.

On September 9, Atletico Madrid took over the Calderon Stadium and welcomed its second round of La Liga opponent, Espanyol.

The team narrowly defeated Zaragoza 2-1 at home in the first round and got a good start. They are determined to win the second round away challenge to the newly promoted team.

Before going to the battle, head coach Paco Flores swore in an interview with the Catalonian newspaper Daily Sports that Espanyol had confidence in taking three points from Calderon Stadium.

But in fact, at Calderon Stadium, Flores's team only lasted for ten minutes before being broken by Atletico Madrid's forward Torres.

Then the bed sheet army took advantage of the victory and in the 26th minute, Villa won another game.

Two to zero, the score was finally maintained until the end of the game.

But what really sparked a lot of discussion after the game between fans and the media was that the entire game was completely controlled by Atletico Madrid.

The Bedsheets Legion's ball possession rate reached 61%, which was 22 percentage points higher than the Spanish side's 39%, which surprised the entire Spanish football world.

What's even more terrifying is that in this game, Atletico Madrid tried twenty-three shots, most of which were concentrated in the penalty area or at the forefront of the penalty area, especially in the opening and closing stages of the game, the offensive was the most fierce.

The best player in the game of Espanyol is goalkeeper Mora, which in itself is enough to say everything.

With two consecutive victories, Atletico Madrid scored six points at the beginning and achieved a good start.

But the team with the most eye-catching start to the league is Vigo Celta.

After defeating Osasuna three-to-zero in the first round, Victor Fernandez's team took home in the second round and defeated the promoted team Tenerife three goals again. Not only did he win two consecutive games, he also ranked first in the standings with six goals.

La Coruña, who won four to zero in the first round of the league, continued to win in the second round, defeating Las Palmas one to zero away.

In the La Liga standings, after two rounds of matches, Vigo Celta ranked first with a goal difference.

Atletico Madrid and La Coruña both had five goals, but Atletico Madrid ranked first, ranking second, and La Coruña ranked third.

Villarreal and Alaves, who also won two consecutive victories, ranked fourth and fifth respectively with four goals.

Barcelona drew with Vallecano at home in the second round, only scored four points, ranking seventh.

After losing to Valencia in the first round, the city rival Real Madrid drew with Malaga at home in this round, and only scored one point in two rounds, ranking 16th in the standings, and undoubtedly opened the goal.

As soon as the second round of results was released, it immediately caused a huge response in Spain.

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

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

But the test has just begun.

After the second round, Real Madrid will start playing in the Champions League in the middle of the week, challenging the Serie A giant Roma away. On the weekend, the third round of the league, he will be away from Calderon Stadium, and will face his city rival Atletico Madrid for the third time this season.

In his poor condition, such a schedule is a disaster for Real Madrid.

Moreover, the current Champions League still adopts a two-round group match system, with many competitions, which will definitely be a big test for the Galaxy battleships.

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

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid won another week of rest after the second round, preparing for the weekend to play against Real Madrid.

But next week, Atletico Madrid will also start playing in the UEFA Cup, with the opponent being the Danish Premier League team, Silkburg.

However, unlike the many Champions League events, the UEFA Cup has been knockout matches in two rounds.

It is precisely because the schedule is more relaxed that Gao Han also sits at home and waits for work.

…………

…………

After the second round on Sunday, the team resumed training on Monday morning, and the team had a holiday in the afternoon and Tuesday morning. It was not until Tuesday afternoon that they started gathering again to conduct some simple personal training and team tactical training.

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

Zidane's suspension during Juventus continued to Real Madrid. This game was not possible. Boske replaced Guti, and center Morientes did not, but let McManaman start.

At the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Real Madrid fought with Rome for 90 minutes.

It was not until the 50th minute of the second half that Figo scored with a direct free kick.

Afterwards, Real Madrid made a wave of offensives, and Figo assisted Guti to score in the 63rd minute, expanding 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 competition was very exciting and intense, which made Gao Han, who was waiting in front of the TV, enjoyable.

"This Real Madrid has finally won a game!"

Gao Han's words immediately made the four right-hand assistants in the office funny.

Before the season, who thought that Real Madrid would encounter a dark goal?

I guess Boske has been in a terrible state during the start.

"I went on a long journey to Italy to kill Rome for 95 minutes. I wonder how much strength I have on Saturday?"

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

"I think Boske is most likely to arrange tactics around Zidane. He is in the best condition, and at least one of the two midfielders is expected to be rotated. The two full-backs on the defense line are also fighting fiercely, and it is very likely that they will also be rotated."

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

Real Madrid has a strong bench, and there is also a Serades in the midfielder. He is also a famous La Liga player. There are also substitute players such as Gremi on the defense. If the rotation is good, there is no big problem.

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

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

Buenaventura nodded, "I understand."

“Targeted training and pre-match preparations are scheduled for Thursday and Saturday mornings, and another day off on Friday.”

"There is still a holiday on Friday?" Cantalero was a little surprised.

The third round of the game is scheduled for Saturday night, isn’t it a bit on Friday?

Gao Han nodded, "We will have a double match in the next week!"

These words made everyone present silent.

Now, watching Real Madrid double games in one week, it consumes so much, but I wait for it to work hard, which is really fun and enjoyable.

But I will encounter such a schedule next, and I will not be able to go much easier.

What's more, Atletico Madrid's substitute lineup this season is not strong enough and cannot afford to play the battle of attrition.

"Sergio, Lorenzo, you must pay close attention to the physical condition of each player in the team and give me a report every day." Gao Han looked at the two assistants and reminded him.

Needless to say, Sergio Garcia, Lorenzo Buenaventura has a very high evaluation of her fierce eyes and is hailed as one of the best physical coaches in the world.

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

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

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

"Next, we will face multi-line combat soon. The energy accumulated in the early stages of the season will determine how far we can go on this road and we must not be cut off from Real Madrid."

Everyone also understood that Real Madrid was determined to take revenge, and even if the cost of fighting Rome was huge, they would definitely do their best.

Atletico Madrid's momentum was accumulated by double-killing Real Madrid. If he lost to Real Madrid, the aura would dissipate.

This is a big test for the newly promoted team.

"I only have one goal in the third round of the league."

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

"That is to move our rankings up, rank our mortal enemies, and then step on them."

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

The four assistants also felt his confidence and laughed.

Atletico Madrid is currently ranked second, and moving upwards will be the leader.

It is new to a new team to become the leader.

What’s fresher is that Real Madrid, which has many superstars, will step down and it will be a relegation zone.
