Chapter 162： Our goal is to be a champion!

In the press conference hall of the Sao Paulo Stadium, in front of two or three hundred media reporters, Gao Shen officially signed for Naples.

This not only got a warm applause in the press conference hall, but also could vaguely hear the cheers of Naples fans outside the stadium.

Yes, after learning that the team signed a contract with Gao Shen today, many Naples fans spontaneously gathered outside the San Paolo Stadium to cheer for Gao Shen's arrival.

According to a local media report in Naples, this is the biggest superstar that Naples has signed since Maradona.

"This is an exciting and exciting signing!"

After signing, Gao Shen was also interviewed by media reporters at the scene.

Although he was only twenty-five years old and faced two or three hundred reporters, Gao Shen was not at all stage frightened.

When he was at Real Madrid, he faced more and bigger journalists than now, and he was used to it.

Gao Shen first said that he was excited to coach Naples, because this is a team with a glorious history, where Maradona, one of the greatest players in the history of world football, was born.

"When the club's driver picked me up at the airport and took me through the city center, he told me that the city still remembers Maradona, and I was thinking, I want to be like Maradona. , give this team, this city, great memories, that's why I came to coach Napoli."

After being inquired by the media, Gao Shen also denied that he had reached an agreement with Juventus.

"Yes, I was in contact with them, it's normal, I needed a job, I was contacted by several teams and Juventus needed a manager, but there was a lot of tension between us. There are big differences, I prefer to build a strong team in my mind, so I chose Napoli."

The implication is that Naples gave him enough respect and commitment.

"Mr. Gao, what did you promise Naples?"

Gao Shen smiled at the reporters and nodded: "I know that during my coaching at Real Madrid, many people criticized my football style for being conservative and that I didn't play passionate enough, but I want to say that this is a misunderstanding of me, I actually have a heart for attacking football, so I came to Naples to bring a passion for attacking football."

Many media reporters at the scene applauded.

Everyone knows that Italian football has always been conservative, and all the head coaches who play offensive football often end up unhappy.

So, the question is, what does Gao Shen choose to play offensive football in Italy mean?

"It doesn't mean anything, I just want to challenge myself, because I have always felt that Serie A is the hardest league in the world, and now, I want to hone myself and improve myself in this league, I believe, As long as I can be successful in Italy, then I can be successful in all leagues."

There was another warm applause from the scene.

Although it has experienced the telephone door, today's Italy is not like the Serie A before the high-level crossing.

In 2006, it is no exaggeration to say that Serie A is now recognized as the No. 1 league in the world.

Before Gao Shen coached Real Madrid, there were a lot of superstars, but now Napoli's lineup is really shabby, and media reporters are very worried, whether Gao Shen has enough ability to lead this team? Will Naples be able to support it?

De Laurentiis answered this question, saying that he would do his best to support Gao Shen.

"We chose the best head coach in the world. Naturally, we need to give trust and support. We believe that he will be able to lead the team to Serie A!"

De Laurentiis also promised that this summer, Napoli's transfer budget will be as high as 20 million euros.

This is absolutely an astronomical sum in Serie B.

Even if it is a team like Juventus, it is impossible to spend so much money in Serie B.

De Laurentiis smiled at Gao Shen and said that this is not just for Serie B. "More importantly, we have a long-term plan, and we have to prepare and lay the foundation for the next Serie A."

Now even the media reporters are excited.

The newly promoted horses of Serie B have to prepare for Serie A, should this be said that they are ambitious? Or are they too ambitious?

Regarding the current situation of Italian football, Gao Shen said that he played against the two strongest teams in Serie A last season.

"Capello and Ancelotti are both very good world-renowned coaches, but I think Italian football needs to make some changes, just like Sacchi said, Italian football's technical and tactical thinking needs to be changed to break the barriers of the past. ."

Gao Shen promises that he will bring higher intensity and more aggressive football.

"High intensity, high pressure, high aggression, but also being able to control rhythm, ball possession and space, this is a very interesting direction, and I will work hard to move towards it."

Gao Shen and De Laurentiis made an apt analogy, building a team is like making a movie.

Before the film is made, no one can know how high its level is and how much its final box office is.

In the same way, the head coach is like a director. He can only control one direction, constantly adjusting and tinkering, checking for deficiencies, but he has no way to say with certainty, what kind of football I want to play.

This is not realistic.

Gao Shen now has a goal, an idea, and he wants to turn it into reality in Naples.

When asked by a media reporter, Gao Shen also revealed that he is not a so-called genius.

"Actually, I am very ordinary. Everything I have achieved comes from the support and trust of the players, assistants and management around me, and most importantly, the fans, so I really hope that in Naples, I can continue to get all of this. I also believe that I can succeed in Naples."

This season's Serie B has been hailed as the most competitive Serie B ever, as there are not only giants like Juventus, but also Genoa, Brescia, Bologna, Lecce, Treviso and Piacin Cha and other traditional Serie A teams.

It can be said that the competition in Serie B this season is really fierce.

Gao Shen smiled confidently and said that he knew.

"I know that as a newly promoted player in Serie B, I probably shouldn't say that, but I still think that our goal is not to be promoted to a place."

As soon as Gao Shen's voice fell, there was an uproar at the scene.

Don't want a promotion?

De Laurentiis smiled because he guessed what Gao Shen was going to say.

"There are three places for promotion, the top two can directly advance, and the third to eighth have the opportunity to participate in the play-offs. This is the rule of Serie B, but I think it is too cumbersome. I thought about it for a long time and didn't understand it. , what is it all about?"

Many media reporters at the scene were a little amused. What can't I understand?

The top two advance directly. If the third place leads the fourth place by more than 15 points, they can also advance directly. If they do not lead by more than 15 points, then count down from the third place to the eighth place. If the third place points difference is less than 15 points, all of them will participate in the play-offs.

This is what Gao Shen said, third to eighth are all eligible to participate in the play-offs.

"Finally, I want to understand, why do we need to figure out this complex set of rules? We can make it simpler and directly target the champion, then there will be no headaches!"

Everyone present fell down one after another.

Nima, it turned out that I said so much, just for the last sentence.

Fortunately, just now there were enthusiastic reporters who wanted to explain the rules of Serie B to him.

It turned out that Gao Shen didn't understand, he just pretended he didn't understand.

People who don't understand are often the ones who understand the most. Sure enough, this is true.

But a newly-promoted horse threatened to win the championship. Although it was about Serie B, it was an exaggeration.

You must know that Juventus is not weak at all, and is even recognized as the favorite of the Serie B champion.

Gao Shen said with a smile, "I don't know how other teams are doing, I only know that in the new season, we Naples are only fighting for the championship. Next season, we will appear in the Serie A arena!"

"I hope that all Serie A teams can prepare in advance!"

Domineering! mighty!

Everyone at the scene was stunned!

It's scary when you first arrive, is it really okay?

However, the media reporters were really excited.

Italian football is a group of dull old grandfathers. They are old-fashioned and prudent. They speak cautiously and do not leak. It is not easy to even make news.

Look at the Premier League, Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho, which of these guys doesn't talk **** all day?

The British media are all cool, right?

Let's look at Italy again, if it wasn't for the recent wave of phone calls, it would have been a backwater.

But now it's alright, Gao Shen is here, and it's dawning for Italian media reporters!

……

"You said it so aggressively just now, I like it!"

After the press conference De Laurentiis and Marino walked side by side on both sides of Gao Shen, the Naples boss said with a laugh.

He himself is also a domineering and ruthless character, and he likes Gao Shen's attitude.

No matter whether it can be done or not, call it out first.

You don't even dare to shout, what can you do?

"Seriously, we really need such a slogan now to boost morale and gain more confidence," Marino said.

Gao nodded deeply, which is one of the reasons why he is so high-profile.

He is the double winner of La Liga and the Champions League, but Naples has a very weak foundation. When signing players, those players will definitely be worried, especially some strong players, they will definitely not want to care about B for too long.

As soon as Gao Shen's shout is spread through the media, everyone knows that Napoli's goal in the new season is the Serie B championship, and the confidence of many players will rise.

Serie A and Serie B are still different.

It is acceptable for many players to only stay in Serie B for one season, but after a long time, they will not be able to accept it.

"I have a transfer list here. Take a look at it and sign up according to this list. We will keep in touch at any time." Gao Shen took out a list, which listed the names of many players and the teams they belonged to. .

Marino was a little surprised, he didn't expect Gao Shen to be so well prepared.

After feeling De Laurentiis' gaze again, he nodded immediately.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to win these players."

Gao Shen nodded, and there were a few troublesome players, so he probably had to make a trip by himself.
