Chapter 319： must win

Facing the Ocean, Spring and Blossom!

Just entering February, the sea breeze is gentle, and the sea view of Naples is really beautiful.

The Posilipo district of Naples is a residential area built on the hills along the coast. The closer it is to the core bay area, the more lively it is.

At this moment, Gao Shen is standing in a villa area on a cliff by the sea, with the coast of stormy waves at his feet, the blue Bay of Naples in front of him, and the world-famous Mount Vesuvius on the opposite side.

It is said that the views of Mount Vesuvius are even more beautiful when it snows.

Gao Shen couldn't help but think of the mansion in the Hollywood movie "Iron Man". Of course, the villa he was in at this moment couldn't be as luxurious as Iron Man, but it had a different view.

Standing by the courtyard and taking pictures of Mount Vesuvius on the opposite side is definitely a desktop-level beautiful picture.

…

"To be honest, I've been in Naples for a year and a half. It's the first time I've stood in a place like this, enjoying the beauty of the Bay of Naples so comfortably. I feel like I can't walk." Carlo said with a smile.

"Move here if you like, I'll be alone, it's just lively when there are so many people." Gao Shen suggested with a smile.

After Carlo glanced at him, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, lest you bring the girl back in the middle of the night, which is inconvenient."

"Yes, Gao." Lucas also came from behind, smiling, holding a glass of wine in his hand, "There is a wealthy area not far away, and the nightlife is very rich. After you go, there is nothing to do, It is estimated that there will be a lot of beauties who will come forward and you will have no problem changing one every night."

It is said that when Maradona was in Naples, he often went out to live overnight because it was so convenient.

The house that Gao Shen lived in was not Maradona’s house in the past. His house was not far from here. It was larger in area and had more luxurious facilities. But after Maradona left, that house was It was bought by a local rich man.

Now, the set where Gao Shen is located was just renovated a few years ago. It is smaller in size and does not even have a swimming pool, but the facilities and decoration are more modern and advanced, and Gao Shen is very suitable for taste.

The house was picked by De Laurentiis, and Naples was responsible for the rent and various expenses. The housekeeping and servants would be arranged from a nearby high-end hotel, and even Gao Shen could call and order meals from the hotel at any time. Service Not to mention how good it is.

It is equivalent to saying that Gao Shen can just move in with his bag, and he doesn't need to worry about anything.

The reason why Naples gave such preferential treatment, of course, is not without reason.

The first is that Gao Shen's coaching performance is good, and Naples wants to renew the contract. This house is part of the sincerity.

Also, De Laurentiis hopes that Gao Shen can continue to work hard and lead Naples to better results.

In his words, this is to make Gao Shen have no worries.

The blue sea, the blue sky, and the beautiful volcano on the opposite side, the beautiful scenery in the painting, of course, Gao Shen will not refuse.

Anyone who has been in the workplace knows that at this time, Gao Shen must not be polite and refuse De Laurentiis' kindness, which is actually equivalent to telling Naples that he does not plan to renew the contract.

De Laurentiis expects to start looking for a new head coach the next day.

But Gao Shen didn't want to renew the contract like this, so he chose to put the renewal negotiations on hold for good reasons. He doesn't have an agent, so he has to deal with everything by himself, but he is very busy now and really can't find time to deal with it. things, so the renewal of the contract will wait until the end of the season to talk about it.

However, Gao Shen accepted the house.

After cleaning up for a few days, he just packed his bags and checked in.

After playing Udinese, it happened that the team had a holiday, and Gao Shen invited everyone in the team to come to his new home for dinner and get together by the way. After all, after he became the head coach of Naples, he hadn't invited the players to his home. pass.

As soon as De Laurentiis and Marino heard about it, they waved their hands and ordered takeout directly from the hotel. The cost was reimbursed by Naples, which was a rare act of generosity.

…

After enjoying the beautiful scenery of Gao Shen's new home for a while, everyone gathered together and naturally discussed the league and football again.

Sacchi basically expressed his profound thoughts and ideas in the column, so the twenty-sixth round will be hailed by Gao Shen as the top spot in Serie A, because this game will determine the trend of Naples and Inter Milan.

Inter Milan will pass the tie, but Napoli must win!

Just as when coaching Real Madrid to play Barcelona, ​​it is not just about three points, but about morale, confidence and fighting spirit.

After winning this game, Naples really launched the final attack on Inter Milan.

If he can't win these three points, Gao Shen can only give up.

Inter Milan's advantage is their strong strength and lineup, but there are also disadvantages.

The first is status.

Mancini's team reached its peak in November and December last year, and it will inevitably decline during the winter break. The performance of the recent period is also not ideal. As for how much it can be adjusted by the end of February, it is not clear. knowledge.

There is also a schedule.

After the winter break, there will be a consecutive week of double matches, and at the end of February will be the two rounds of the Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds.

Gu Yu

Roma's opponent is Real Madrid, Inter Milan's opponent is Liverpool.

After Gao Shen won the double crown, Real Madrid stopped in the round of 16 last season, but even so, the pressure on Rome is still very high, and Inter Milan faced Liverpool, not to mention, this is the Champions League runner-up last season.

However, it is impossible for Mancini to ignore the Champions League.

To exaggerate, the Serie A championship is always the ban of Inter Milan. Looking at the entire Serie A league, who can challenge the status of Inter Milan?

So winning the Scudetto is a matter of course.

However, Mancini has performed very badly in the Champions League in recent years. First, he stopped in the quarter-finals in a row. Last season, he was eliminated by Valencia in the round of 16. He encountered Liverpool this season. Go all out for the quarterfinals, or even the championship.

This is the real test for Mancini.

Therefore, Inter Milan will not give up the Champions League.

According to convention, Inter Milan is the first in the group, first guest and then home, the second round is against Liverpool at home, but before this game, Inter Milan has to challenge Naples away.

Before the match against Naples, Serie A was a weekly double match, Inter Milan's opponent in the twenty-fifth round was against Roma at home, the opponent in the twenty-fourth round was away against Sampdoria, and then it was the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. competition.

It can be said that Naples really took advantage of the schedule this time.

Gao Shen is also determined to win Inter Milan at home and shorten the points gap.

…

"We Chinese say that to win a war, we must pay attention to the time, the right place, and the people."

During the dinner, the atmosphere was very strong, and when it was almost time, Gao Shen also took the opportunity to add another fire.

"Now, from the perspective of the schedule, we occupy the sky, as long as we hold Inter Milan in the standings in the next four league games, the sky is on our side."

"In the twenty-sixth round, we are playing at home, the location is on our side, and we have more than 50,000 Naples fans, and the whole city is behind it. The location is definitely on our side."

After hearing Gao Shen's words, everyone nodded in unison.

Of the three winning conditions, Naples has already won two.

"In the end, it is people and people, which is also the most critical, and this depends on you, everyone here, we need to work together to show the best performance, and strive to maintain at least the current seven before the game against Inter Milan. difference."

Seven points away, as long as the home wins, it will be shortened to four points.

With twelve rounds remaining in the league, four points is no longer an insurmountable gap.

More importantly, with the momentum of winning Inter Milan at home, Naples can completely overwhelm their opponents in momentum, which in turn creates huge pressure on Inter Milan.

"But I want to remind everyone that this is a long game, a tough challenge, not only for our opponents, but for us, because it requires us to have every game remaining. Do your best to be your best!"

When Gao Shen said this, he paused for a while and looked at the players and coaches in front of him. Each of them was personally promoted and recruited by Gao Shen, and they were all the people he trusted the most.

"In the seventh round, we regret that we didn't beat Inter Milan away. I'm not trying to be held accountable. It's meaningless. I just want to remind everyone that that game was the best warning to us."

"Inter are not underdogs, this is a team capable of winning the Champions League, and if, I mean if, guys, if we can beat Inter at home, we can be in this long season, Through the layers of tests, reversed Inter Milan and won the championship..."

When Gao Shen said the end, his hands were already clenched into fists with excitement.

Everyone at the scene was as excited as he was, and many people even gritted their teeth and their breathing became heavy and rapid.

"Then I can tell you with great certainty that we will appear in the Champions League next season, and after we beat a team that is capable of hitting the Champions League, we are fully capable of hitting all the professional players next season. The most coveted and supreme award!"

"The Champions League!" Gao Shen gritted his teeth and shouted.

All exuded anticipation and longing. UU reading

But anyone who plays football, even an amateur, dreams of the Champions League.

The same is true of this group of players in Napoli. They are younger and more like to dream. They will be more bloody, hungry and more looking forward to the Champions League than those mature players.

Gao Shen once said at the beginning of coaching Naples that Van Gaal's Ajax was only a little older than Naples when he won the Champions League. strong.

Especially after this season's Serie A training, everyone has begun to realize that the original Serie A names that once made them look up to their ears are actually not that strong.

It's not that these Serie A teams are too weak, it's that Napoli has become stronger!

What about the Champions League?

Is it the same as the strong teams in Serie A?

Gao Shen's current remarks undoubtedly further stimulated the strong desire in the players' hearts.
