"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
"Real Madrid scored!
"Paul Pogba!
"Paul Pogba, who came on as a substitute, scored against Chelsea with a curling shot from outside the penalty area!
"In the 79th minute, Real Madrid finally broke the deadlock!
"Once again, Gao Shen's substitutions have worked wonders!"
The live TV camera first focused on Pogba. After scoring, the French midfielder excitedly rushed out of the stadium to celebrate, while the Real Madrid players around him chased after him one by one.
After attacking for nearly eighty minutes, they finally broke through Chelsea's goal.
Every player of Real Madrid was extremely excited, even the players on the bench rushed out to celebrate.
"From the slow-motion replay, we can see that this was a wonderful team goal. Pogba's shot at the end was exciting, but before that, Real Madrid completed a very exquisite sequence of passes and movement."
"This attack came from the right. Modric dribbled forward, then Di Maria made his run. Especially the position where he received the ball, which attracted the attention of three players at the same time: Terry, Mikel, and Ashley Cole."
"It was a crucial pass, seemingly insignificant, but it stretched the Chelsea defence."
"It was obvious that Chelsea's defenders were afraid of Real Madrid breaking through from the right, so the entire defensive focus pressed forward. But at this moment, Real Madrid suddenly passed the ball back to the centre-back."
"Varane passed to Ramos, who then made a long diagonal pass to the left side of the attack."
The picture freezes again. It can be clearly seen that Chelsea's defensive players, especially Terry and Mikel, were trying to shift to the centre and right, to close the gaps between themselves and their teammates and keep the formation tight.
But it takes a little time.
Real Madrid took advantage of this.
"C Ronaldo passed the ball to Dzeko, who controlled it very cleverly and smoothly, slowing the pace deliberately, which allowed Pogba to step up and shoot immediately."
"I have to say Pogba's shot was beautiful, but before that, the teamwork of the Real Madrid players, especially their understanding and individual quality, was fully displayed."
"This is the biggest difference between Gao Shen's Real Madrid and Barcelona."
"Many people think Gao Shen's football philosophy is very similar to Barcelona's, but more pragmatic. In fact, the two are not similar at all. In many ways, they are completely opposite. For example, long passes and switches of play are very rare at Barcelona."
When Pogba hugged Gao Shen and Zidane, he felt mixed emotions.
Chelsea had once set their sights on Pogba, but Mourinho was not very interested in him.
He did not like this type of attacking midfielder.
In comparison, he preferred players like Lampard or Özil.
At this point, Chelsea no longer had anything to hold back.
Mourinho immediately asked Özil to warm up, replacing Oscar to strengthen the attack.
As expected, after scoring and taking the lead, Gao Shen had his team retreat to the centre line, clearly waiting for Chelsea to push forward. This made Mourinho so angry that his back teeth hurt.
"There are many shameless people, but I have never seen anyone this shameless!" Mourinho cursed angrily.
He decided that after the game he would extort a box of wine from Gao Shen, which might ease his anger a little.
"Before, when I was in the Premier League, I didn't think Pogba was this strong."
There was a substitution on the sidelines. Mourinho walked back to the bench, sat down, and said dejectedly.
Assistant coach Faria smiled and said, "The team has changed, the teammates have changed, even the tactical role has changed. Naturally, the performance is different."
How could Mourinho not understand that?
Many people like to compare, but they don't realize that if the variables cannot be controlled, any comparison is meaningless.
In professional football, or in any field dominated by humans, comparisons do not really make sense.
They can only serve as a reference.
Just like Pogba.
"At Leeds United, although both wings were strong, with Icardi in front of him, Coutinho on the left, Allan beside him, and Jorginho behind him, his role was more of an attacker and passer."
"But at Real Madrid, it is different. In front of him are strikers like Benzema and Dzeko, on the left is a super scorer like Ronaldo, next to him is Modric, and behind him is Xabi Alonso. The tactical freedom and space he gets are incomparable to what he had at Leeds United."
"Under such circumstances, combined with advanced tactics, it is natural for Pogba's potential to be unleashed."
Mourinho agreed with Faria's analysis.
When it came to recruiting and using players, Mourinho was unmatched in world football.
But Gao Shen seemed to have a kind of magic. He could quickly and accurately find the best position for a player. Using that position as the target, he put great effort into training and polishing the player, often bringing out their best qualities.
This was unbelievable.
If it were only one or two players, then it could be said Gao Shen was skilled in one aspect. But how many stars had Gao Shen discovered and developed over the years?
Could this really be called coincidence?
"These 60 million euros are truly worth it!" Mourinho praised.
Faria nodded. Who could disagree?
Although Pogba had only played a few games, he had already shown such explosive potential that it was impossible for his value not to rise.
Some even said Pogba was likely to become Real Madrid's future core.
Before the end of the game, Chelsea scored and equalized against Real Madrid.
But Gao Shen had prepared for this. After Pogba's goal, he made his final substitution, replacing Ronaldo with Morata.
When the Portuguese superstar left the pitch, he received warm applause.
Although he did not score, Real Madrid's goal came from his involvement.
If he had not passed the ball to Dzeko, the Bosnian striker would not have been able to set up Pogba's goal.
But aside from that, Ronaldo wasted many good chances.
This was the Portuguese star's issue, one that followed him throughout his career.
Once he was in poor form or became impatient, his shooting accuracy dropped significantly, and his performance fluctuated.
This overly emotional side could be both good and bad.
The good was that Ronaldo was always full of energy and fighting spirit, always eager to win.
The bad was that his performance fluctuated.
Sometimes, the more the team needed him, the worse he played.
This was Ronaldo.
Whether it was the coach or the fans, if they liked his positive qualities, they had to accept and tolerate his flaws. Even when he was criticized, there was no need for excuses.
Because this was all part of Ronaldo.
No gold is pure, and no man is perfect.
If you can only accept his good side but not his bad side, then you probably do not love Ronaldo as a footballer but only as a symbol.
A symbol of goals, and one of the world's two top superstars.
…
After Gao Shen replaced Ronaldo, Chelsea could no longer find their rhythm.
They now faced the same problem Real Madrid had earlier.
What should they do against Real Madrid's solid defense?
If they pressed forward, there would be gaps everywhere behind them.
But if they didn't press forward, how could they equalize?
This was exactly why Gao Shen's side attacked from the start. Unfortunately, they didn't score until the 79th minute.
Mourinho's last substitution was the young Belgian Lukaku, but the unlucky forward was too nervous. With Chelsea pressing high and even Cech crossing the halfway line, he wasted opportunities, failed to hold the ball, and made frequent mistakes.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Chelsea 1-0 thanks to Pogba's goal as a substitute, winning their second trophy of the season.
It was also the second European Super Cup in the club's history.
The European Super Cup was reformed in 1998, changing from a two-legged tie to a single-match final. The first was between Real Madrid and Chelsea, where Real Madrid lost 0-1.
In 2002, Real Madrid defeated Feyenoord 3-1 and won their first European Super Cup.
But in 2006, Capello's Real Madrid lost to Sevilla and failed to claim their second.
Until now, when Gao Shen once again brought Real Madrid a championship trophy.
