Starting from coaching Real Madrid
Gao Shen once said that the biggest difference between European players and South American players is that European players are more stable, as stable as if they were mass-produced in a factory assembly line.
The precise, stable and patient pass and control style of Barcelona is simply impossible to appear in South American teams.
Gao Shen has always felt that Messi is completely different in Barcelona and the Argentine national team, and the reason for this difference is that the Argentine national team cannot play Barcelona's football at all.
This is not a question of the technical strength of the players, but the difference in football culture and players' thinking about playing football.
It's as if Riquelme can't integrate into Barcelona.
The so-called creativity of South American players is actually the spirit of adventure.
Many times, the tiny gaps they see are seen by European players as well, but the football education and edification European players have received since childhood will tell them at the first time that this pass of the ball will succeed. The rate is not high.
Therefore, they had an instinctive risk-averse judgment and chose not to pass the ball.
This is by no means accidental, but a very common phenomenon.
Because in European football, all teams will require players' passing accuracy to meet the standard.
In contrast, South American players play more casually. They are more willing to try some risky passes. For this reason, they give up the accuracy of the pass. Sometimes they even don't think about whether their team is friendly or not. catch the ball.
In the impression of European players, this is irresponsible.
All the youth training in Europe are telling the players to pass the ball as far as possible so that the team can catch the ball, pass it to the teammate's dominant foot, and give a certain amount of advance...
These are all for the convenience of teammates' next actions.
But what about South American players?
they are not.
They will take risks, they will try, they will pass the ball in a way that is completely illogical.
Did it pass badly?
No, they will tell you that you don't have to be serious to pick it up at all, you can pick it up in another unconventional way, even stop it...
Therefore, watching South American teams play, we often find that they pass very risky passes and catch them very dangerously, but even if they pass the pass, they catch it. A new offense, or the creation of a new threat.
This is always unexpected and surprising.
But in European football, this way of playing is not allowed, or even strictly prohibited.
Why?
Because of the fear of risk.
When you make a pass error, it is equivalent to giving your opponent an extra chance to attack.
And risk often represents instability.
But now, all European teams are pursuing stability.
Why is Barcelona always able to win the league?
Because of the stability, the heinous stability.
Even Messi, an Argentine who has been completely Europeanized, can easily feel that he is different from traditional Argentine players, such as Aimar, Di Maria and others, when watching him play football.
Or it should be said that Messi does not play Argentina at all.

Messi is not a special case. It seems that many people said back then that Rivaldo did not play in Brazil, and Kaka did not play in Brazil. It is the same reason. They are all Europeanized South American players.
In fact, in recent years, in South America, especially in Brazil and Argentina, many teams have fallen into a contradiction when training players. Should they choose Europeanization? Or continue to stick to South America?
Choosing Europeanization, needless to say, is to make it easier for players to succeed in Europe.
Continue to adhere to the South American style, which is traditional.
These two kinds of thinking are colliding and constantly competing, which has also caused the relative sluggishness of the youth training in Brazil and Argentina over the years.
After all, in this wave of passing and possession centered on Europe, South American football has not yet found its place.
But South American football is born with an extraordinary ability to adapt, just like their playing style on the field, it is very flexible, highly mobile, and adapts quickly to the new environment.
Gao Shen believes that they will be able to adjust quickly.
I believe that within a few years, we can see batches of South American players, talents from Brazil and Argentina emerge, land in European football, and continue to bring the pleasing and creative football to fans all over the world.
This is true on a large level, but as small as a team, a similar situation actually exists.
Toni Kroos is famously stable, but his passing is often difficult to create surprises or change the rhythm.
Modric is relatively more imaginative and more adventurous, but he is still inferior to South American players.
Therefore, Gao Shen chose Di Maria.
All fans who are familiar with Di Maria must be no strangers. This Argentine can always use some unexpected skills to pass, pass and shoot, such as his iconic flower arrangement.
These are unimaginable in European players.
When playing against Atletico Madrid, Gao Shen chose Di Maria.
Di Maria did not disappoint Gao Shen either.
In the 67th minute of the game, Dzekola went to the right, Jesse was in the center, and Di Maria appeared on the left.
Real Madrid's strong attack on the right failed, and Modric made a diagonal pass to transfer.
The ball was given a bit high and the speed of the ball was a bit slow, so that when Di Maria received the ball, Juanfran was already in position.
But the Argentines are skilled and bold, and they are not flustered at all.
After the chest stops the ball, the left foot "sticks" the ball under his feet, and cuts inward with the ball. First, he slowly carries the ball and presses it step by step, so as to relax the vigilance of Atletico Madrid's defensive players.
Especially after Cork also returned to his position, Juanfran was obviously relieved.
But what no one expected was that Di Maria suddenly accelerated his speed and made an action to pass the ball, but suddenly pushed the ball with the outside of his left foot.
The ball seemed to have eyes, passed from Cork's crotch, and fell directly to the left side of the small penalty area.
Jesse was in the middle and originally wanted to drop back to catch the ball, but unexpectedly, Di Maria suddenly sent such a kick, which surprised not only the defensive players, but also himself.
But the Real Madrid teenager reacted very quickly. He turned around, started quickly, and had excellent explosive power. He threw away Miranda at once, went straight to the left side of the small penalty area, just caught Di Maria's pass, and pushed with his left foot. Shot, the ball passed through Asenjo's crotch and got into Atletico Madrid's goal.

When Asenjo reacted and squatted instinctively, the ball had already entered the net.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"
"In the 67th minute, Jesse took the lead to break the deadlock for Real Madrid!"
"A goal from Real Madrid's talented teenager Jesse, one to zero!"
"Di Maria passed the ball very beautifully, very imaginatively, it passed directly from Koke's crotch."
"Hesse's turn is activated, and his explosive power is also extremely strong."
"This is Real Madrid!"
"Their players can suddenly create a murderous intention and catch the opponent by surprise."
Gao Shen clenched his fists and cheered after seeing Di Maria send a wonderful pass and Jesse scored a goal.
This is the effect he wants to achieve.
The crotch-through ball like that just now is quite risky, and if Jesse reacts a little slower and the speed is a little slower, for example, if Dzeko is replaced, the ball will be gone.
But sometimes, I have to admire the "smartness" of South American players.
This is something that European players do not have, and sometimes it becomes an advantage.
Gao Shen clapped vigorously towards the players, but at the same time he also signaled the team to continue pressing forward and continue playing like this.
Especially Di Maria, Gao Shen suggested that he could play more actively.
Only about seven minutes had passed since the goal just now, and Di Maria switched positions and returned to the right.
The Argentine Angels cut back and completed a crossover with Modric before the Croatian advanced to the right and passed the ball to Dzeko.
The center forward of Bosnia and Herzegovina was on the right side of the penalty area, and after receiving the ball with his back to the attacking direction, he was unable to turn around.
But at this moment, Di Maria suddenly slanted into his right rib and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Dzeko passed the ball into Di Maria's line, right in the middle of the two Atletico midfielders, Gabi and Koke, and at this time, Atletico Madrid's midfield and defense once again had a path leading to the goal. gap.
It was almost exactly the same as Di Maria's long shot just now.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Argentine shot directly.
The football flew out like a cannonball, penetrated the two defense lines of Atletico Madrid at an extremely fast speed, and went straight to the goal.
More importantly, when the ball entered the penalty area, there was even a bounce on the ground, which made the ball go faster.
Asenjo judged the direction, and the whole person flew out sideways, but how could there be time?
Di Maria's long-range shot blasted directly into the left side of Atletico Madrid's goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"
"World wave!!"
"World wave from Di Maria!!"
"One pass and one shot!"
"Di Maria performed very well tonight. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, whether it was the assist to Jesse just now, or the world wave he personally performed, they all left a very deep impression on people."
"We saw that the whole Bernabeu fans were cheering and shouting Di Maria's name."
"This is the Angel of Real Madrid!"
Simeone sank his face and turned around sadly.

He found that he still underestimated Di Maria and misjudged Gao Shen.
Perhaps, Gao Shen never thought of using Ronaldo from the beginning, but wanted to use Di Maria.
Judging from the trend in the second half, especially after advanced adjustments, Di Maria is more like the core of Real Madrid's offense, leading the team's offensive direction and rhythm.
As an Argentine, Simeone knows Di Maria's way of playing too well.
Sometimes, it really surprises Europeans.
Whether it was the pass to Jesse just now, or the world wave that bounced off the ground, it was really surprising.
But anyone who is familiar with Argentina or South American football will not be unfamiliar, because this kind of thing is too common in Argentina and South America.
Of course, those as powerful as Di Maria are rare.
This is a seriously underrated player!
Simeone has always felt that way.
Even, he always felt that Gao Shen underestimated Di Maria.
But looking at it now, he was wrong!
He underestimated Gao Shen!
