SWR: Chapter 1060/1062

Chapter 1060: The Core

Gao Shen didn't say much about the situation at Leeds United.

For example, he couldn't tell others that although Leeds United's current lineup was mostly made up of young players, each of them was extremely talented. This group of young players would definitely surprise everyone in the future.

Don't assume that being young means lacking competitiveness.

On the contrary, Leeds United's young guard back in the day was also very young, just like Ajax's two great sides in the 1990s and early 2000s. Yet this did not stop these three teams from becoming classic sides that countless people still talk about today, and they became a beautiful sight in the history of the Champions League.

The current Leeds United squad is even more talented than those earlier versions of Leeds and Ajax.

Otherwise, why would they be so popular this summer?

If Leeds United had not refused, many of their players, including Coutinho and Salah, would have been taken away.

Sometimes Gao Shen really felt that European football had gone a little crazy.

…

When Gao Shen voiced his thoughts, everyone, including Valdano, fell silent.

"How should I put it? I think it's more like a panic."

As one of Real Madrid's operators, Valdano was on the front line and had a deep understanding of the current atmosphere in the transfer market.

"In the past, the best players were basically concentrated in a few top teams, so everyone remained rational and restrained. But in recent years, with the rise of Chelsea and Manchester City, there are suddenly more clubs scrambling for a share of the cake."

"Last year, teams like Zenit and Anzhi in Russia already stirred things up. Now Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco in Ligue 1 are also making moves, especially with the new broadcasting rights contract in the Premier League…"

At this point, Valdano glanced at Gao Shen, his eyes narrowing slightly. "To be honest, Gao, I really doubt whether you got the news in advance. The timing of taking over Leeds United was simply too perfect."

Everyone came to their senses after hearing Valdano's words.

Who could deny it?

When Gao Shen took over Leeds United, the White Rose was still struggling in the Championship, and he had acquired it for a relatively small amount.

But a year after he took over, the Premier League announced it had signed a new broadcasting rights contract with Sky Sports, and the broadcasting fees almost doubled.

Leeds United was promoted from the Championship to the Premier League in Gao Shen's first year.

Despite selling players for 100 million euros in their first season, they still became a dark horse in the Premier League and were valued at 300 million this summer.

It was simply unbelievable.

Are people really so different from one another?

"I was just lucky. I didn't know broadcasting rights would skyrocket back then, right?" Gao Shen said, sounding very "modest."

Everyone nodded.

Perhaps, as the saying goes, sometimes luck is also a part of strength.

"The surge in Premier League broadcasting rights will greatly increase the purchasing power of Premier League teams. That's why you see newly promoted sides this season investing 20 to 30 million euros in transfers. This reflects their new financial strength."

Valdano sighed at this point. "European football is about to enter a period of turbulence. There's news that foreign capital is about to enter Serie A, and some are also targeting the Premier League. The competition for outstanding players in European football will only become fiercer in the future."

This was obvious.

Just like this summer, why was everyone trying to fleece Leeds United?

Because there were too few good players.

And Leeds United just happened to have a group of strong, promising youngsters.

…

"Will our salary structure be affected after this contract extension?" Gao Shen asked.

He was not willing to talk too much about Leeds United, because there were many things he could not say or explain.

For example, he couldn't tell others why he was so sure about Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva, or how he concluded that these two players would become stars.

After all, at that time they had no reputation.

With his current responsibilities, he barely had time for such scouting.

Gao Shen's position now was simply too high.

"We had a lot of revenue from the Champions League last season, and we expect to keep salaries within 55%," Butragueno replied.

"Jose Sanchez is confident that revenue will increase significantly again this season and remain around 50%, so the overall situation is fine."

Real Madrid's great advantage was that their salary structure had always been very healthy.

Unlike other clubs, such as Manchester City or Barcelona, whose salary ratios were far too high.

"When will Illarramendi return?" Gao Shen asked again.

"In a couple of days, why?" Valdano replied.

"I want to attend his signing ceremony. Also, I'd like to talk to him first."

It was no secret that Gao Shen liked to chat with players. The whole world knew it.

Illarramendi was currently Spain's most promising young midfielder. Real Madrid had spent nearly 40 million euros on him, so of course they placed great importance on him.

But Gao Shen knew that Illarramendi's situation was rather tricky.

His ability and talent were beyond doubt, but his mentality was a problem.

The huge transfer fee placed a heavy psychological burden on him, the intense competition brought heavy pressure, and being at Real Madrid meant that every move was scrutinized and magnified.

All of this left the former Real Sociedad player feeling uncomfortable.

In his previous life, Gao Shen had seen an interview Illarramendi gave a few years after leaving Real Madrid. The Spanish midfielder reflected on his time at the club.

"Playing for Real Madrid was completely different. It's one of the best clubs in the world. I got injured twice in pre-season, and when I came back, I struggled.

"I was young then, and my mentality was different from now. Especially in crucial moments, I lacked confidence."

Illarramendi believed that if he had joined Real Madrid a few years later, when he was more mature mentally, the situation would have been completely different.

Gao Shen also thought about this during his vacation.

Illarramendi's later words might not tell the full story, but they certainly had some truth.

Currently, Illarramendi's market value was 12 million euros, but Real Madrid had paid nearly 40 million. For a 23-year-old who had just been a starter for one season, this was a heavy burden.

It was like a graduate from a decent university who worked at a mid-sized company, only to be poached less than a year later by a Fortune 500 company with a high salary. Suddenly, all his colleagues were industry leaders. How could he not feel pressured?

In this case, if the club and coaching staff stepped in, provided support, created a more relaxed environment, and helped him transition smoothly, he could regain his confidence and prove himself.

But in Gao Shen's previous life, Real Madrid under Ancelotti had just emerged from the Mourinho era. The dressing room was unstable, external competition was fierce, and Illarramendi became even more lost.

Now, however, the situation was different.

The current helmsman of Real Madrid was Gao Shen. Last season the team won the Champions League and Copa del Rey double. The squad was strong, and the tactical system was stable. Gao Shen could afford to dedicate time to help Illarramendi grow.

Not just him, but many young players like Morata, Jese, Isco, Nacho and others could also be developed steadily.

This was what Gao Shen had been telling his young players all last season.

And Illarramendi truly had ability.

For many young players, a failed spell at a top club could ruin their careers. But Illarramendi returned to Real Sociedad and immediately performed well, later even earning a call-up to the Spanish national team.

This was proof of his talent and ability.

Gao Shen believed that with proper training, even if Illarramendi never reached the level of Xabi Alonso, he could at least rotate with Casemiro or serve as his backup without issue.

The same applied to Jese.

In Gao Shen's previous life, Jese's downfall was certainly due to injuries, but his own mentality made it worse.

Before his injury, when things were going smoothly, he became overconfident, even a little arrogant. After his serious injury, he was crushed mentally, his will collapsed, and he even began giving up.

These were typical signs of immaturity.

For this reason alone, Gao Shen did not think Jese could ever become a superstar like Ronaldo.

Because behind every top superstar, there was always a strong mentality.

But Gao Shen still trained Jese diligently, because even if he never reached the very top, he could still be a valuable squad player, an important rotation option and substitute.

There was no problem with that.

…

In any top club in the world, youth development was a force that could not be ignored.

Even in every dynasty, the backbone of the team was often built around homegrown players.

For example, in Sacchi's Milan dynasty, the Dutch trio was world-famous, but the local backbone of players like Ancelotti, Maldini, and Tassotti could not be overlooked.

This was no coincidence.

Just like no club could ignore matchday revenue.

And who provided that matchday revenue?

Of course, it came from local fans.

Even an international club like Real Madrid valued homegrown players, not just to satisfy Spanish FA and UEFA regulations, but also to connect with their local supporters.

This was why domestic talent in the top five leagues was so valuable.

It was also why Real Madrid was willing to spend so much on players like Illarramendi and Isco.

As head coach, Gao Shen had the responsibility to make good use of these players and help them grow. This was part of his job.

But Real Madrid's true core strength would not come from this group of local players. It would come from world-class stars led by Ronaldo, Di Maria, Benzema, Toni Kroos and Modric.

Ferguson's Manchester United had always had a problem. They focused too much on domestic players and underestimated the impact of foreign stars.

Even Cantona, remembered fondly by countless fans, could not change this fact.

At Real Madrid, however, Gao Shen had a very clear understanding of this.

(To be continued.)

Chapter 1061: The Secret of Profound

Gao Shen has always agreed with one saying.

The reason why outstanding people are outstanding is that when they encounter difficulties and adversity like everyone else, others lose confidence and choose to give up, but they can still make up their minds, overcome difficulties, get out of adversity, and achieve their goals.

Failure is the mother of success.

This is very clichéd, yet very true.

Because in this world, success always belongs to the few, and failure belongs to the many.

Any success you see is often built and refined through repeated failures.

…

Gao Shen carefully chose Valdebebas for his meeting with Illarramendi.

It was the morning Illarramendi signed his contract.

The Spanish midfielder was sent directly to Valdebebas by his agent, and Gao Shen was responsible for receiving him.

This flattered Illarramendi.

Gao Shen took it as a matter of course and took him around Real Madrid's training base, introducing him to every department, every colleague, and every area.

This was originally the job of captain Iker Casillas or vice-captain Ramos. Both came, but Gao Shen took the initiative because he wanted to use this opportunity to have a good chat with Illarramendi.

After a stroll, they returned to Gao Shen's head coach's office.

After closing the door, Illarramendi became a bit restrained. He sat upright and looked very nervous.

"Don't be nervous. You can speak freely with me. It's fine to complain or even criticize me. No third person will know," Gao Shen said with a smile.

"Yeah, I saw that in the newspaper."

"Really?" Gao Shen was not surprised.

He had found that many media outlets now liked to magnify his small and subtle habits.

"They all say this is one of your secrets."

Gao Shen chuckled and set a glass of water in front of Illarramendi.

The Spanish midfielder was so nervous that he wanted to stand up and reach out to take it, but Gao Shen gestured for him to sit.

Still too nervous.

"You can't be this tense. If you are too nervous on the pitch, you won't be able to perform at your best."

Illarramendi smiled awkwardly. How could he not be nervous?

The person sitting opposite him was a heavyweight.

He was the world's number one coach, a man who had won five Champions League titles, and the person who had the final say at Real Madrid. One sentence could decide whether he stayed at Real Madrid or not.

Who wouldn't be nervous?

"I think we should talk about the serious matters."

Illarramendi nodded quickly. He had long guessed that Gao Shen had something to say to him.

"I've studied your performances for Real Sociedad over the past two seasons, and to be honest, they were very good."

The young Spaniard was stunned by the compliment, but quickly nodded and said, "Thank you."

"Many people say you resemble Xabi Alonso, but I don't think so. Or rather, you are more like Xabi Alonso when he was young, not the current version," Gao Shen said.

"Yes, at Real Sociedad they told me a lot about Alonso's past at the club, including his playing style, some of his experiences and training. When I decided I wanted to be a midfielder, he was always the model I tried to catch up with and learn from."

This is what many clubs do when developing young players. It is a bit like how the media and fans like to stick a template on a youngster and call him the second coming of someone. It is the same principle.

Youth development is just a little more complex.

"You make more mistakes now, but it's still acceptable, averaging 0.7 per game. Your attacking output is also good, with one shot per game on average."

Xabi Alonso takes fewer shots, averaging 0.5 per game, which is related to his position and responsibilities on the pitch. Plus, he is getting older and his running capacity is not what it was, so naturally he cannot step up as often.

"Defensively, there's a noticeable change. In the 2011/12 season, your numbers were 3.4 tackles, 5.2 interceptions, and 1.2 clearances. Last season, those were 3.8, 2.3, and 1.6 respectively."

"Yes, coach Montanier made some adjustments to my position and responsibilities."

Gao Shen smiled and nodded. This was not a problem.

Judging from the data, it was already outstanding, enough to rank very high in La Liga.

Xabi Alonso's three numbers were 3.2, 1.9, and 1.6 respectively. Casemiro's were 3.1, 2, and 1.4. Barcelona's Busquets had 3, 1.7, and 1.3.

Under Gao Shen, Javi Martinez was known as a top defensive midfielder. His three numbers were 3, 3.8, and 2.1, but do not forget that Javi Martinez has excellent physical attributes.

The reason Real Madrid's technical team went to such lengths to sign this homegrown midfielder was not casual, nor just because they saw his strong performances. It was because he really put up eye-catching displays.

He had been one of the best midfielders in La Liga over the past two seasons.

But he also had obvious shortcomings.

"Passing."

Gao Shen pointed out Illarramendi's problem directly. It was also his concern for the young Spaniard, and it could even be said to be a key factor in his struggles to adapt to Real Madrid in his previous life.

"Over the past two seasons at Real Sociedad, your passes per game rose significantly, from 41.9 to 50.2, and your success rate increased from 79.8% to 80.7%."

"Your key passes per game rose from 0.8 to 1, and your total assists increased from 1 to 2. These numbers show clear progress and growth in your passing, but it is still not enough."

As he spoke, Gao Shen pushed a report in front of him and signaled Illarramendi to read it carefully.

It contained very detailed data analysis on him, as well as comparisons with other players of the same profile, which were very intuitive.

Xabi Alonso's pass success rate was maintained at 90%. Casemiro was a bit lower, but still 87.2%. Not to mention Busquets, famous for his passing, at 92.2%, with the highest volume of passes.

Javi Martinez may look unrefined, but his passing is underrated, basically steady at 89% or even 90%.

These clearly showed Illarramendi's shortfall in passing.

Gao Shen did not say more, but waited silently for Illarramendi to finish reading and digest it before continuing.

"I showed you these numbers to give you a clearer picture. Your passing needs further improvement, especially your completion rate, but you do not need to obsess over the data from the past two or three seasons."

Illarramendi looked at Gao Shen, a little confused.

"Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Barcelona all have completely different tactical styles from Real Sociedad, and their squad strength is also different, so it is impossible to make such a simple, crude comparison of the data."

Illarramendi understood.

Perhaps the only meaningful comparison here was between Xabi Alonso and Casemiro.

The Brazilian midfielder looks physically dominant and a bit reckless, but who would have thought his passing numbers were so good.

The key is that he is only 21, younger than Illarramendi.

"The technical team, the data team, and I have conducted a detailed analysis of you. We all agree that your fundamentals are excellent and that you will have no problem fitting into our Real Madrid tactics. What you need to do next is adapt and integrate, while improving yourself. You must have enough confidence."

With that, Gao Shen briefly explained his plan for Illarramendi.

In essence, he is Xabi Alonso's successor, positioned in the No. 4 role.

"But every player has his own characteristics and strengths. You are not Xabi Alonso, so there is no need to copy him entirely. You have to find your own place and role."

With the analysis and Gao Shen's words, Illarramendi clearly sensed how much Gao Shen valued him.

If he did not care, how could he have done so much preparation?

The fact that Gao Shen, so busy with everything, would do all this for him was proof enough.

"You are still young, Asier. We have a clear plan for you, but we will not rush you. We will give you time to improve and prove your ability, and we will provide you with support."

"Whether it is me or the coaching staff, we hope you and the others can let go on the pitch to perform and prove yourselves, even if you make mistakes. It does not matter."

"Only then can we understand you better and see your strengths and value."

Illarramendi understood what Gao Shen meant.

"The competition at Real Madrid is very fierce, and you know that you are up against Xabi Alonso, a world-class midfielder, and Casemiro, a midfielder with extraordinary potential. But both my colleagues and I are full of confidence and expectations for you."

"You cannot be too relaxed, but you also should not put too much pressure on yourself. Real Madrid paid that transfer fee to sign you. That is our recognition of you. Next, all of us will help you. We will give you a long period to integrate into the team and adapt to our tactics."

"I understand," Illarramendi nodded sincerely. "Thank you, Boss."

"No need to thank me," Gao Shen smiled. "We are just chatting now. Once we start working together, you will gradually understand what kind of team Real Madrid is, the teammates around you, and me."

"I will say it again. After joining Real Madrid, you can come directly to me about anything, on or off the pitch. With me, you can speak your mind."

Gao Shen's candid talk made Illarramendi feel his sincerity and realize that he was valued. This dispelled many of his concerns and put him at ease.

At least, when he walked out of Gao Shen's office, he had a smile on his face.

And Gao Shen also "encouraged" him to do something.

This was something Illarramendi had never imagined.

(To be continued.)

Chapter 1062: It's Really Not Me

Real Madrid held two new player signing conferences on two consecutive days.

The first was the signing of local midfielder Illarramendi.

Illarramendi's contract is for six years, and he will wear the number 24 jersey.

Since his medical was completed the day before, after meeting Gao Shen at Valdebebas that morning, Gao Shen personally took him to the Bernabéu, which drew the attention of many media reporters.

Florentino personally gave him a model of the Bernabéu, a watch, a pen, and a No. 24 jersey with Illarramendi's name and joining date printed on it.

The Real Madrid president expressed his expectations for Illarramendi, hoping that the local midfielder could perform at his best level for Real Madrid and defend the club's honor with his actions.

Illarramendi said that Real Madrid is a great club and assured everyone that he would fight for the badge on his chest. He also thanked Real Sociedad for their training and support.

The new Real Madrid signing also specially thanked head coach Gao Shen, saying that he had been very nervous at first, but after talking with the head coach, he felt much more relaxed.

"I can't wait to start my Real Madrid career."

This won him warm applause from the audience.

The day after Illarramendi joined, French midfielder Paul Pogba also arrived at the Bernabéu.

But unlike the Spanish midfielder, Pogba arrived in Madrid on the same night Illarramendi signed.

Zidane went to the airport to pick him up, sent him to the hotel, and then took him directly to Gao Shen's home for dinner together.

Pogba played for Leeds United for two years and is quite familiar with Su Qing.

Gao Shen has no doubts about Pogba's ability and never doubts his talent, but he hopes that Pogba can calm down and compete with the current players in the Real Madrid squad.

"I can tell you with certainty that Toni Kroos and Modric are both world-class midfielders. Verratti also has the potential to become a world-class midfielder. And you, I never doubt it."

Gao Shen outlined a bright blueprint for Pogba, which is that Real Madrid will dominate European football.

For this season, Real Madrid's goal is to win the treble.

This requires every player in the team to give their all, and no one will lack playing opportunities. The key is to show their strength and improve as quickly as possible.

"At Leeds United you played with Coutinho, Kurzawa, and Icardi, but now at Real Madrid you will try to play with world-class players like Ronaldo, Marcelo, and Benzema."

Pogba said he would give his best and would not let Gao Shen down.

Pogba today is very different from his previous life because his experiences have changed.

In his previous life, Pogba changed agents many times in order to leave Manchester United, and finally it was Raiola. With the Italian's help, he left Manchester United and joined Juventus.

But Pogba is not like that now. He did not encounter Raiola. After transferring to Leeds United, he was carefully cultivated and his strength improved by leaps and bounds.

Gao Shen has no doubt that Pogba already has the ability to stand on his own.

The only shortcoming for Real Madrid today is that they failed to sign Alaba for the left side. Otherwise, Real Madrid's entire lineup would be stronger.

Real Madrid actually contacted Bayern, but Bayern refused to negotiate with Real Madrid.

There was nothing else they could do.

It is worth mentioning that Gao Shen also attended Pogba's signing ceremony.

Two days after Pogba signed, Real Madrid held another signing press conference to announce the arrival of Bosnian center Dzeko.

Dzeko will take up the last foreign player spot at Real Madrid.

Gao Shen also met with Dzeko before the press conference and talked about some matters within the team.

Unlike Illarramendi and Pogba, Dzeko is more mature. He knows his position at Real Madrid very well, and he also guaranteed that he would do his best to cooperate with the head coach's tactics.

During his time at Tottenham in the Premier League, Dzeko's physical confrontation ability improved a lot.

After all, defenders in the Premier League are not easy to deal with.

Gao Shen said that he would give Dzeko more game time during the training camp and try to help him integrate into the team as soon as possible.

But Dzeko is also under a lot of pressure.

There is no need to say much about Benzema's status as a starter, and Morata is also very competitive.

After one season under Gao Shen, Morata's strength has improved significantly.

Gao Shen also jokingly reminded Dzeko that it would not be easy to get more playing opportunities.

With the arrival of three players, Real Madrid also announced the completion of their transfer business.

However, what followed was a series of contract renewals announced by the club, including a four-year extension for young player Nacho. Other players such as Morata and Jese also received new deals.

This drew the attention of the Spanish media.

Some even grouped Illarramendi, Carvajal, Isco, Morata, and Jese as Real Madrid's Five Eagles of the new century.

As we all know, the Five Eagles era at Real Madrid was glorious. Now everyone expects this group of young Spaniards to succeed at Real Madrid and create more glory.

But both Gao Shen and Real Madrid declined to comment.

…

On July 8, Real Madrid's pre-season training camp officially opened.

As usual, Real Madrid opened training to the public on the first day.

But what surprised everyone was that the biggest draw for the media and fans on the first day was not the stars returning from vacation, because they found that these stars all looked in good condition.

Even Marcelo, who usually gains weight, maintained a good figure this summer. When reporters asked him, he lifted his shirt to reveal his muscles, and he still looked strong.

The Brazilian also said, quite pleased with himself, that he had always paid close attention.

What really surprised everyone was the message on the big blackboard at the locker room door.

Everyone familiar with Real Madrid knows that the team has always had the habit of team dinners.

Whenever there is a dinner, the host writes the time and place on the blackboard, and everyone goes after seeing it.

The dinner would be held today at Juan's House BBQ Restaurant in the city center.

But the initiator was surprising.

It was the new signing Illarramendi.

"How does this kid know our team's traditions?"

"Did someone tell him?"

Everyone gathered around the big blackboard, talking a lot. Everyone looked at Casillas and Ramos, especially Ramos.

This guy has no other skills, but he is very good at trickery, at fooling around, and at eating and drinking for free.

"Don't look at us like that. It has nothing to do with us. Do we look like the unscrupulous captains who bully newcomers?" Ramos asked righteously.

But his aura did not last more than three seconds.

"Is there anything to doubt?" Toni Kroos asked calmly.

Everyone burst out laughing.

So embarrassing.

Toni Kroos is well known as a deadpan joker at Real Madrid.

"It really wasn't me!" Ramos protested.

Am I so untrustworthy?

Casillas also smiled and nodded, pointing toward the head coach's office.

Everyone immediately understood.

"The boss said our little classmate is a bit nervous, so we need to help him relax and integrate into our united, friendly family as quickly as possible."

As soon as Ramos said this, everyone dispersed.

The Real Madrid vice-captain did not mind and chased after them, shouting and making a fuss.

…

Illarramendi treating the whole team to a meal was an instruction from higher up.

Originally, Gao Shen meant for the three newcomers to treat the team, which is also a Real Madrid tradition.

But Illarramendi thought it would not cost much, so he took the initiative, saying that if Pogba and Dzeko were interested, they could host too.

This undoubtedly helped him get closer to his teammates in the dressing room.

Gao Shen also actively encourages new players to integrate into the team as soon as possible and strongly supports this Real Madrid tradition.

It is like certain newcomer initiation movies from a certain country. Gao Shen has not seen them, but it proves that this approach is still useful.

Pogba and Dzeko were not stingy either, and immediately said they would find time to treat everyone.

With Gao Shen's support, the Real Madrid players naturally gave him face and said they would arrive on time.

The morning physicals began in this lively atmosphere.

Afterward, Gao Shen introduced the three new players to the squad and also criticized several players who did not meet physical standards.

Marcelo was secretly delighted.

He had been very disciplined this summer, and he played in the Confederations Cup in Brazil, so he maintained good physical condition.

He had only indulged a bit during the recent vacation days.

This is the trouble with professional players. If they relax a little, they gain weight easily.

Unfortunately, his secret joy did not last long and was noticed by Gao Shen.

So the Brazilian sadly heard the head coach ask Buenaventura and Pintus to pay special attention to "taking care" of him, which immediately put a look of despair on his face.

He was traumatized by last summer's training camp.

When the players saw Marcelo's despair, they laughed without restraint.

But Gao Shen also said that the intensity of this summer's training would be much higher than in the past, so they should all be mentally prepared.

Those familiar with Gao Shen know that he says this almost every year.

But most of the Real Madrid players are not familiar with Gao Shen. They only heard him say this last year and again this year, which gave them the impression that the training intensity this year would be much higher than last year.

Seeing the players' gloomy faces, the coaching staff were all smiling happily.

Every summer training camp, the coaching team uses various methods to "torture" the players, which has become a regular program for Gao Shen's staff.

But it has to be admitted that this kind of "abuse" is effective.

Last season, Real Madrid were the fastest running team in European football. Gao Shen has set higher expectations for this season, hoping the team can perform even better.

Several injured players in the team will go to the hospital for detailed examinations so that the coaching staff can tailor training plans for them.

However, both the media reporters and the fans present seemed to hear the wailing above Valdebebas.

On the first day of training, Gao Shen received another piece of good news.

(To be continued.)
