Gao Shen never dreamed that his ordinary life would be pletely ged by a sudden crossing.
He couldn't have imagihat this inexplicable journey would make him the head coach of the European giant Real Madrid.
At the beginning of 2006, Real Madrid was in the most turbulent period of the past decade.
On the m of February 28, after firing head coach Luxemburgo and teical director Sacchi in quick succession, Real Madrid's performaill did not improve. Under inteernal aernal pressure, Chairman Florentino took the bme and resigned.
As was ary, the first vice-chairman, Martín, took over.
Iernoon, the new chairman, Martín, visited the Valdebebas training base. To everyone's shock, he resolutely fired ag head coach Carlo, and poio an inspicuous intern in Carlo's coag staff.
"What is your name?"
"Gao Shen."
"Profound? Good name, what we need most now is to score!"
With just three sentences, Gao Shen became the new coach of Real Madrid.
Everyohought the famous Madrid ty had gone mad after being president of Real Madrid.
Martí, and the fired Carlo left as well, leaving Valdebebas in chaos.
For the first time, everyoiced this rookie intern who had only been with Carlo for half a year and was admired by him. Many people's impression of him was that his name ronouhe same as the Spanish word foal" (gol), but they hought he would bee Real Madrid's coach.
Before the coag staff and staff could react, the pyers were the first to attack.
What team is Real Madrid?
The greatest club of the 20th tury as selected by FIFA, and in the new tury, they had won two Champions League titles. The team included Ronaldo, Zidane, Beckham, Owen, Raul, Carlos, Casils, and a host of the world's top superstars, making it arguably the most powerful team in the world.
Letting a rookie who just graduated and obtained his coag certificate coach Real Madrid, a team full of superstars?
Isn't this crazy?
All the pyers gred at Gao Shen, none of them could accept this oute.
None of this had anything to do with Gao Shen's will, but when he ushed out, he had to bear this anger.
"You go to the Bernabéu tn now, or don't bme us for being rude!" Brazilia-back Carlos approached Gao Shen, gritted his teeth, shouted angrily, ahe training ground without looking back.
He was one of the team captains and had the authority to issue such a threat.
The others also left oer another, leaving only Gao Shen standing alone on the empty training ground, looking so lonely and helpless.
...
...
In the coach's rest area in the locker room, Gao Shen turned on the faucet, and water immediately spouted out.
Reag out, he spshed the cold water onto his face. The cold sensation spread all over his body, shog him awake from the initial shock of his time travel.
Gao Shen raised his head and looked at his wet fa the mirror, exactly the same as before his time travel, which made him reveal a helpless, wry smile.
He hought that the standard trope of being the chosen one in online novels would actually happen to him.
But that didn't make sense.
Because he had hought of time traveling, nor had he done any preparatory work like the heroes in online novels, who would check a lot of information and prepare thhly before traveling ba time to succeed.
But what about him?
Not to mention being unprepared, he was immediately put in a dire situation. This didn't look like the script of an overpowered protagonist.
"Is it because I cursed the national football team st night?" Gao Shen muttered to himself.
Last night, he had watched a World Cup qualifier involving the national football team.
Sure enough! Cherish life and stay away from the national team!
What should he do now?
…
"Gao, have you really bee the head coach of Real Madrid?"
As Gao Shen was talking to himself in the mirror, a young Spanish man about his age rushed in from outside.
His name was Fernando Lucas, a native of Madrid and Gao Shen's only friend at the moment.
In Lucas's words, three geions of his family were die-hard Real Madrid fans. He was registered as a member on the first day he was born. However, he secretly took a coag course by himself and, after graduating, became an intern coa Real Madrid's youth training camp.
He oold Gao Shen that his biggest wish was to coach Real Madrid.
Uedly, he was still far from achieving his wish, but Gao Shen had already fulfilled it.
"Is Martín crazy? Did he lose his mind? How could he let you be the coach of Real Madrid?" Lucas was full of surprise.
Gao Shen silently looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar "friend" in front of him with a "what do you think" expression.
"No, that's nht. Martín has been the first vice-chairman for several years, and he is also a real estate ty in Madrid. He runs several panies in Spain. He is definitely not a lunatior is he brainless..." Speaking of which, Lucas snorted again, "But why did he choose you to be the Real Madrid coach?"
Speaking of which, he carefully looked at Gao Shen in front of him. After getting along for more than half a year, he didn't think there was anything special about Gao Shen. Except for being handsome, he was like him, a rookie who just graduated?
"Maybe, he thinks I have the potential to bee a famous coach," Gao Shen said lightly.
"You? Famous coach?" Lucas couldn't help ughing out loud. "Don't make fun of me! Although you graduated from Loughbh Uy, a famous sports school, your coag resume is less than seven months of internship. You're even youhan some of the superstars oeam. Yoing to teach them to py football?"
Gao Shen also thought that this was indeed a very funny thing.
"I heard that the superstars have already spoken, and they want you tn immediately. I think you should do it. Don't get involved in the disputes of the first team. e back to the youth team to tihe internship. Maybe iure, there will be a ce to bee a regur and lead Real Madrid's youth team for a few years. With enough experience, you could go out and coach alone."
This was a very mature and prudent suggestion, and it was also the path most people took on the road to coag.
Even if some famous stars became coaches after retirement, they usually followed this route.
"What if I refuse?" Gao Shen suddenly asked.
Lucas opened his eyes wide and looked at Gao Shen in disbelief. He felt that today's Gao Shen was very different.
"Refuse? You know how many neers, media, and fans will attack you when those superstars make a phone call? If they protest at the Bernabéu tomorrow, the board will be shaken. Do you think the new chairman will ge his mind? Even Florentino was forced tn by them. Do you think they will listen to you?"
Speaking of this, Lucas stepped forward and stared at Gao Shen with siy, "Gao, we are friends. I know that being the head coach of Real Madrid is the most attractive position in the world, but it doesn't belong to us, at least not now."
Gao Shen didn't say much from beginning to end, but since he ehe door, he had been Fernando Lucas. He had now firmed that Lucas was indeed a true friend, or at least someone who genuinely cared about him.
Before crossing, Gao Shen had spent many years in a rge domestipany, aced to seeing various intrigues and power struggles. He knew how rare it was to have a friend who sincerely cared in an enviro like Real Madrid.
But an opportunity had arisen, and he had to seize it.
The crossing not only made him the head coach of Real Madrid, but also gave him a gift.
There was a mysterious pce hidden in the deepest part of his mind. Whenever his mind moved, it would clearly emerge.
It was a door.
Whenever Gao Shen subsciously wao push it open to see what was hidden behind it, a reminder would always appear in his mind: "The tactical library has been activated and will open in 24 hours."
If there were no acts, this should be the welfare cheat of the traveler.
As the name suggested, the tactical library must be reted to the reserve of tactical knowledge, which was exactly what Gao Shen currently cked, making him feel more fident.
Although he had lived well before the crossing, the whole trajectory of his life could be described as bnd and unremarkable. Suddenly, he crossed over and became the head coach of the world-renowned Real Madrid. With a golden finger, although the situation seemed w, it might not be without the opportunity to shine.
Besides, he came from 2021 and had more football knowledge of the fifteen years than anyone else here. He knew better than anyone which pyers in the current Real Madrid team would bee future stars, whies were already deing, whies were worthy of being reused, and whies should be eliminated. He also khe general trend of future tactics.
If he had such a huge advantage and didn't dare to give it a try, then Gao Shen really deserved to be mediocre all his life.
Stepping back ten thousand steps, this was coag Real Madrid! What a golden opportunity!
Even if he really failed in the end, then he would be the former Real Madrid coach. With this identity, was he afraid of not being able to get along? If it didn't work out, he rofit in both English and Spanish, so couldn't he return home and still do well?
Fortune favors the bold!
Everyone wao live a bright life, but where in the world could.
