One Thousand and Sixty-Six Kanter Who Can't Get Through
【Starting from coaching Real Madrid】 【】
Fernando Lucas, Borrell and Pochettino are all gone.
They have to go back to rest, Leeds United is flying to Miami early tomorrow morning.
The fifth and sixth finals of the International Champions Cup were held at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, as was the final.
But the final between Real Madrid and Chelsea will be one day later than the final of the fifth and sixth place, so tomorrow Real Madrid will stay in Los Angeles for training.
After sending off Lucas and others, Gao Shen also fell into deep thought.
It is not an easy task to build a wealthy team.
It's not just about money, it's about time, and so much more.
Even now, Manchester City has won two Champions Leagues, but there are still many people who don't think they are rich.
And Chelsea, up to the present position, the Blues are still being questioned.
Wealthy families have never been just about champions, they are about money, and they need precipitation.
It's like a golden signboard.
Sometimes, Gao Shen feels that building a wealthy family is like building a world-class brand.
It might even be harder.
...
"I told you before, running a club is hard work, especially like yours."
Seeing Gao Shen frowning tightly, Carlo sighed for no reason.
At that time, he was not very supportive of Gao Shen's acquisition of Leeds United.
Although Gao Shen's achievements in Leeds United have impressed him in the past two years, this is just the beginning.
Especially the continuous large inflows and outflows like Gaoshen seem to have high returns, but the risks are also extremely high.
For example, this summer, so many people were sold in one go, and the head coach was changed, okay?
If something goes wrong and relegation fails, Leeds United will suffer a terrible loss.
Building a new stadium is never easy.
For example, Valencia, because of the construction of a new stadium, the Bat Corps' finances completely collapsed, and it has not been able to recover until now.
What about the new stadium?
Now it has become the biggest unfinished project in Valencia, and it was thrown there.
"However, you can't turn back now." Carlo reminded.
Since Gao Shen decided to build a new training base, and even now to build a new stadium, he can no longer turn back.
This road can only be followed to the end, if you give up halfway, Gao Shen's loss will be very painful.
Gao Shen nodded and smiled gratefully at Carlo.
Although Carlo is conservative and cautious, he still has vision.
"To be honest, there must be a lot of pressure, but it's not that dangerous. In the next three years, we can have an income of 300 million euros. If it doesn't work, we can find a bank loan. No matter what, we have to put together the stadium project. By that time, Leeds The value of United is extraordinary." Zidane comforted calmly.
The US market has never been so easy to develop, and it is known as a football desert.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to prove the difficulty here.
Of course, many people now feel that the US market is not the most difficult to deal with, but the domestic market is really difficult to deal with.
Barcelona was originally going to come to China this summer, but they didn't go. They went from Singapore to Malaysia, played two games and then went back.
Gao Shen is very clear that once Leeds United's new stadium is completed, the value of the white rose will be extraordinary.

Therefore, during this period, no matter what, you have to tighten your belt and implement the plan to the end.
...
On August 6, two finals will be played simultaneously at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.
In the first seven or eight finals,
Juventus and Inter Milan shook hands one-to-one. In the end, Inter Milan defeated the Bianconeri 9-8 with a penalty kick and won the seventh place.
In the subsequent five or six finals, Leeds United played against Valencia.
Pochettino learned from the disastrous defeat against Real Madrid and adjusted the team's tactics appropriately. Especially in the opening game, Leeds United decisively adopted aggressive tactics, forming an indiscriminate bombardment advantage against Valencia from the very beginning.
The Bat Corps was beaten to a halt and held on to the goal.
Leeds United is still composed of Brozovic, Kanter and Coutinho in the midfield iron triangle, but the positions of the three players have undergone obvious adjustments, especially Kanter, the liberated French midfielder is almost everywhere , Covering the audience, the performance was very eye-catching.
Coutinho is even further back, forming a connection with Brozovic, more with Zaha and Salah on the two sides to suppress Valencia on the side, and at the same time playing Harry Kai in the center En's center advantage.
Pochettino's adjustments have worked. Leeds United have obvious advantages on the scene, but they are always short of fire at critical moments. This is caused by the lack of tacit understanding between the players and the lack of familiarity with the head coach's tactics.
Valencia defended and counterattacked steadily, and also created several opportunities.
In the second half, after the two sides changed sides and fought again, Leeds United still suppressed the Bats. Finally, in the 74th minute, with Salah's goal, they beat Valencia 1-0.
Gao Shen took Zidane, Carlo, Hierro and others to watch the game live.
Gao Shen is quite satisfied with the process and results of the Leeds United game.
Pochettino's adjustment is crucial.
The team's tactics are right, and the players can play the effect.
The most obvious is Kanter. Whether it is pressing Parejo forward or chasing back to defend, Kanter is very eye-catching.
As a defensive player, he is really impressive.
But this also surprised Zidane, Hierro and others.
Because Gao Shen has always liked to reuse offensive and defensive players like Pogba, Kondogbia, Toni Kroos and Modric. Even Alan of Leeds United last season was not a pure defensive player.
But Kanter is different, he is really responsible for grabbing the ball.
"Is this a kind of conceptual regression?"
In the stands of Sun Life Stadium, Zidane jokingly asked Gao Shen.
Gao Shen didn't think it was disobedient, he chuckled, "Because he is Kanter."
Zidane and others looked at each other, what do you mean?
Just that black boy?
"There is no hurdle in life, only Kanter who can't get through!" Gao Shen laughed and recited the wise saying from his previous life.
How did Zidane, Carlo and others know that this was a stalk?
They were stunned to hear Gao Shen comment on such an insignificant young rookie, right?

"Don't dare to spread this word." Carlo reminded.
Zidane and Hierro nodded.
Now, the whole world is scrambling for talents. If Gao Shen's words spread, Kanter will not even think about staying in Leeds United until September 1, because the rich teams will definitely come to snatch them.
This guy Gao Shen doesn't boast easily, but once he praises someone, the person's worth will be multiplied immediately.
It's all the fault of being too famous!
...
On the evening of August 7, the final of the International Champions Cup was also held at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.
Real Madrid faced Chelsea, and Gao Shen encountered his predecessor Mourinho.
Mourinho is in a good mood, and the warm-up match is also in full swing. The key is that his defense is stable.
The Portuguese madman has such a conservative personality. If the defense line is unstable, he will not be able to sleep peacefully.
After spending a lot of money on Coulibaly, this French teenager is really powerful. Whether it is playing the ball in the midfield or defending, it is really eye-catching. Who knows who uses it.
No, Mourinho is now using Coulibaly to partner with Terry, plus Ivanovic and Ashley Cole to form a defense.
But now Chelsea's midfield is not strong, which is Chelsea's biggest problem right now.
In the midfield, Lampard, Van Ginkel and Ramirez form an iron triangle, ahead of William, Lucas and Oscar.
Due to the close matches, Gao Shen had to rotate.
Real Madrid seized the weakness of Chelsea's midfield and controlled the game with the advantage of passing and possession.
In the 12th minute of the first half, Benzema retreated to respond and scored the ball. Isco made a pass from the left side of the penalty area.
After that, Real Madrid firmly controlled the game, but never scored again.
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Real Madrid once again launched a wave of offensive.
Gao Shen's attitude is obvious. Anyway, his results in the warm-up match have always been hip, so he doesn't care. He uses Chelsea more to practice the team's offense.
In the 59th minute of the second half, Modric sent a direct pass, and Marcelo inserted into the left side of the penalty area and shot.
Coulibaly was attracted by Ronaldo, reacted and rushed forward, but he was a step too slow, unable to stop the Brazilian from kicking, and finally the football was sent into the far corner.
Two to zero!
But 2 minutes later, Lampard's long-range shot caused Casillas to make a save. Lukaku made an empty goal and missed it. This made Mourinho on the sidelines furious.
Gao Shen himself couldn't believe it.
The difficulty of not scoring this kind of goal is much higher than the difficulty of scoring. It is really difficult not to score. As a result, Lukaku actually unlocked this achievement. The future is really bleak.
Subsequently, Chelsea also went all out, and Mourinho replaced Schurrle and Torres and others to continue to strengthen their offense.
Gao Shen carried out a rotation, including Morata and Jesse, who were arranged to play one after another.
Among them, before the end of the game, Morata scored a wonderful heel goal, but was signaled by the referee to be offside and the penalty was invalidated.
Chelsea once fell to the ground in the penalty area. Oscar had physical contact with Ramos in the penalty area. After falling to the ground, he asked the referee to award a penalty kick, but the referee refused.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Chelsea 2-0 and won the International Champions Cup.
...
After winning the International Champions Cup, Real Madrid went north to St. Louis to play a warm-up match with Inter Milan.
This is Real Madrid's fourth warm-up match in the United States.
In contrast, Leeds United played a total of six warm-up games because the training camp was arranged in the United States.
After playing the International Champions Cup, Leeds United set off to return to the UK and will play two games in the UK.
Real Madrid played Inter Milan in St. Louis with a half-main and half-substitute lineup, and finally defeated the Nerazzurri with a score of 4-0.
From this game, Gao Shen also felt the decline of Serie A more clearly.
Today's Inter Milan is completely different from the high-spirited Nerazzurri when he coached Naples.
The only person familiar to Gao Shen is Captain Cambiasso.
But he's also getting old and rewinding.
