Chapter 54

Lorenzo Buenaventura has long hair with three to seven ears, and is a handsome middle-aged man who maintains a fairly good figure.

At first glance, his temperament is quite literary and academic, not like a muscular man who trains physical fitness at all.

This somewhat subverts Gao Shen's previous impression of him.

Forty-three years old, he has experienced the ups and downs of his career. He looks quite mature, but he is a little unsmiling.

In fact, he is not from Cadiz, but from Seville not far north of Cadiz, and he is a fellow from Ramos.

Gao Shen and Carlo flew over from Madrid on a special trip, and he happened to be on vacation and came from Seville specially.

We met, got to know each other, and after greeting each other, we started ordering food, and then we started chatting.

"In two days, I also have a class to go to Madrid. I originally planned to meet at that time, but I didn't expect you to come."

Buenaventura looked at Gao Shen and Carlo, and said lightly, with a bit of joy in his tone.

As for the profound things, he has been clear from the newspapers in the past.

Frankly speaking, when he received a call from Carlo, his first reaction was to refuse, because he, like everyone else, felt that Gao Shen would not be able to work long in Real Madrid.

Unlike other occupations, coaches are not very interested in taking part-time jobs.

After all, he now has a long-term contract from Kardiz.

But Carlo told him that he was not signed by Gao Shen, but Real Madrid, which gave Buenaventura some interest. After all, he has always been eager to play for a big team.

This is a rare golden opportunity.

So, this is the meeting.

Gao Shen has been paying attention to Buenaventura.

On the way here, Carlo had already told him that Buenaventura was actually a teacher in the Spanish Football Association's coaching class, specializing in physical fitness and physiotherapy, which was considered a part-time job.

Gao Shen is also thinking that Guardiola has also participated in coaching training in the past few years. Did the two know each other in the training class?

After chatting, Gao Shen made a little side-talk, don't say, it's true.

Buenaventura really taught Guardiola a lesson.

Of course, the content is the physical training and physiotherapy that Buenaventura is best at, but he also has a good impression of Guardiola.

This connects various profound memories. It is estimated that Guardiola also admires Buenaventura's ability very much, so he recruited this physical training master into his command when he coached Barcelona.

But now, Gao Shen is definitely going to get there first.

"Lorenzo, you must have some understanding of the current situation of our team." Gao Shen said straight to the point.

Buenaventura nodded, "I have watched several recent Real Madrid games in the past two days, including against Atletico Madrid, Arsenal and Valencia. The games on the pitch reflected many problems in training. Including physical training and physical training, but also including players' physiotherapy and rehabilitation issues."

"With all due respect, the training level of Real Madrid is probably lower than that of our Cadiz, which leads to the fact that in the game, Real Madrid's players always suffer a lot, especially in the face of a strong enemy like Arsenal. Downwind."

"Yes." Gao Shen also admitted, "So, Mr. Carrow and I came here."

"Frankly speaking, this job at Real Madrid is not easy to do." Buenaventura smiled wryly.

As long as you are in the professional football circle, everyone knows how serious the internal problems of Real Madrid are.

In the locker room, the contradiction between the local team and the Brazilian team is irreconcilable, and there are also conflicts within the Brazilian team and the local team. There are also huge problems between the superstars and other players, plus the aging of the player structure and other problems.

Today's Real Madrid can really be said to be a wooden house with leaks everywhere. God knows when a tornado will blow it up.

Gao Shen smiled and knew in his heart that Buenaventura was telling the truth, but since he could sit down and talk, it proved that Buenaventura must be interested, otherwise, whoever has nothing to do, run So far to meet?

Then why even mention it?

This is a negotiating technique, either for salary or for power.

"You must also know about my situation. At present, the situation in the locker room is basically stable. Some players have been suppressed by me, and most of the remaining players are actively cooperating. I believe that the problem will not be a big problem."

Gao Shen said it very lightly, which surprised Buenaventura somewhat.

At the age of 25, Real Madrid, who is so responsible for coaching, was able to control the situation so quickly?

This made him look at Gao Shen seriously for the first time, as if he wanted to find out what makes Gao Shen different.

Gao Shen did not continue to dwell too much on Buenaventura's issue, but directly talked about his thoughts.

For example, he wants to adopt high pressing tactics in Real Madrid. He believes that this will be the long-term trend in the future, so he needs players to have more running ability. At the same time, he also wants to improve the training level to make players better in the game. exert strength.

Gao Shen emphasized one point, that is, the speed of offense and defense transition should be improved.

This requires that the team's game rhythm should be accelerated, and the number of players' round-trip runs will increase. The team needs to carry out targeted training to improve the players' ability in this regard.

Whenever Gao Shen puts forward his own ideas, Buenaventura can give his training plan in a targeted manner, including the problem of aging, and he has some solutions.

After a detailed discussion, the lunch was casually eaten, but the two sides talked more and more deeply.

Buenaventura also changed his previous suspicions and began to realize that Gao Shen is not a simple young man, but really has some ideas and things of his own, which is why he was able to stabilize Real Madrid in such a short period of time. The locker room, led the team to three consecutive victories.

In particular, some of his tactical ideas are very advanced, and some of them are very predictable.

Gao Shen and Carlo are also satisfied with Buenaventura's "interview" performance. Whether it is theoretical knowledge or practical experience, he has his own set of ideas. What's more rare is that he is not only a master of physical training , also has a good set of training for injury rehabilitation and physiotherapy, and even dabbles in psychology.

It is no wonder that such an all-round talent has been entrusted by Guardiola.

After eating this lunch for more than two hours, Gao Shen realized the time, and he was still a little unfulfilled.

"Lorenzo, I believe that you should have a clearer understanding of Real Madrid's current situation and me personally, whether from your previous understanding or our conversation today, and I sincerely hope that you can seriously consider it. our invitation."

Gao Shen spoke very sincerely, showing a strong sincerity.

Buenaventura felt it, and he kept nodding, "I will seriously consider it."

"As you know, our time is very precious. Immediately after this week, there will be a consecutive week of double games, especially the Champions League quarter-finals. There is really not much time left for us to prepare, so I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible. "

"If you come to Real Madrid, I will let you take full responsibility for the development of the team's physical training, including making a training plan for each player, and you can also be responsible for the rest, diet, injury and psychology of the players. , all of us will do our best to cooperate with your plan."

As soon as Gao Shen's voice fell, not only Buenaventura on the opposite side, but even Carlo next door was taken aback.

Meeting for the first time, so entrusted with such an important task?

You must know, as Gao Shen said, Maqueda's power as the chief assistant coach was directly divided by more than half.

Buenaventura even became a veritable powerhouse of Real Madrid's first-team coaching staff. What kind of trust and reuse is this?

Even in Cadiz for many years, Buenaventura has never been given such great authority and trust.

What's more, Real Madrid is the world's top giants team.

"Are you... joking?" Buenaventura was a little unconvinced.

Gao Shen was very serious and nodded solemnly, "I am serious, and I will do what I say."

Both Buenaventura and Carlo now believe that Gao Shen is not fooling.

But the question is, did he really trust Buenaventura so much?

Gao Shen stared at Buenaventura with a very certain look, and it was not until he saw a little gratitude and emotion in his eyes that he was sure that the master of physical training should not be able to run away.

In fact, there are many reasons why he would make such a decision.

First, Real Madrid's situation is grim~www.mtlnovel.com~ He is thirsty for talents, and secondly, he asked Carlo to learn about Buenaventura's personality and conduct. Thirdly, as a traveler, Gao Shen knows Buenaventura's ability and ability better than anyone else.

Not to mention anything else, can a fitness coach who can be reused by Bielsa and Guardiola at the same time be bad?

Therefore, Gao Shen's decision is very risky to outsiders, but only he knows it, but it's not at all.

More importantly, he also wanted to take the opportunity to recruit this talent.

Even if we don't mention whether we can continue to cooperate in the future, even if we can cooperate better with each other during our time at Real Madrid, it will be worth it.

Buenaventura was really moved, so he personally drove the two to Jerez airport.

While waiting for the flight, Carlo finally couldn't help but ask Gao Shen, about Buenaventura, did he think he was taking a risk?

"Sir, I believe in your vision and your judgment. Since you can recommend him to me, it proves that you appreciate him very much. After meeting, I also feel that there is no problem, so there is no need to think about it. ." Gao Shen smiled.

Anyway, it's a favor without cost, Gao Shen doesn't mind sending another one.

Carlo was very moved, because he knew very well how important this position was to Gao Shen.

And the fact that Gao Shen can reuse Buenaventura because of his recommendation is enough to prove how much weight he has in Gao Shen's mind. How can Carlo not be moved?

Gao Shen really wanted to take the opportunity to convince him to return to Valdebebas, but this kind of thing can't be rushed. If Carlo refuses, let alone invite him again, he will feel embarrassed even to meet in the future.

It's better to train the team's training level, as well as the players' bodies and stamina, and then let's talk about it.
