Chapter 327： A classic duel in tactical history

When Maradona walked into the Sao Paulo Stadium, the entire stadium, more than 60,000 Naples fans, all stood up and gave the most warm applause for the king.

Countless Naples fans are madly shouting Maradona's name!

This is definitely an unexpected surprise!

Before the game, the Naples management did not know whether Maradona could catch up with the game, so they did not publicize it. This also led to the sudden appearance of Maradona, the entire stadium, even the live TV station, was shocked. shocked!

This is Maradona!

"We see that the whole Sao Paulo stadium is welcoming the return of their former king!"

"Maradona once created the pinnacle of his career in this stadium, this stadium, this city, everyone still remembers his figure."

"Just a few days ago, a Naples city councillor suggested that if Naples can really win the Serie A championship this season, they should erect a statue for Gao Shen and let him, together with Maradona, become the hero of the city."

"I don't know if I saw this news, but Maradona couldn't wait to come to the scene to cheer for Gao Shen."

"He has his own graffiti wall in the city, but no one has erected a statue of him."

"It is worth mentioning that there is not a single Inter fan at the St Paul's Stadium tonight."

"According to the data we got from Naples, more than 60,300 fans, all Naples fans and guests."

"This was out of safety considerations, and the local Naples fans responded enthusiastically, and the supply of tickets was simply in short supply, so De Laurentiis directly negotiated with the Football Association and Inter Milan, and finally both sides agreed that the tickets would not be allocated to Inter Milan. "

"Let's take a look at the pictures taken by reporters outside the stadium..."

"The road outside the San Paolo stadium is full of Napoli fans."

"Tonight, this is not only a Serie A match for the first battle, it is not even a key battle for the Serie A championship, it affects the hearts of the whole Naples, and everyone is looking forward to Gao Shen and his team to be able to compete in the Serie A championship. Tonight's St Paul's Stadium, revenge for last season!"

"Mancini and his Inter Milan want to defend their place at the top of the table."

"This is bound to be a hand-to-hand battle with a bayonet!"

"Even, this will be the highest level matchup in Serie A!"

…

Although every guest's appearance, they will receive warm applause from the scene.

But all are in the shadow of Maradona.

In this stadium, in this city, no one can match the influence of Maradona.

Inter Milan also arranged for two high-level leaders, namely Blanca and Oriali, who also accompanied De Laurentiis and Maradona and other guests, and sat in the center of the podium.

Acquaintances who have worked at Real Madrid such as Sacchi, Zidane and Valdano sit in one area, Italians such as Capello, Lippi and Trapattoni sit in an area, and Guardiola and Cruyff from Barcelona are next to each other.

Guardiola is currently coaching the second team of Barcelona, ​​but he has been with this team and experienced the zero-to-three game last season, so he called him before Gao Shen and asked him if he wanted to come and see.

"I'm very confident in this game!"

In response to this profound sentence, Guardiola flew from Barcelona to Rome this morning, and then from Rome to Naples after finishing the game with the second team of Barcelona.

Cruyff often went to see the second team of Barcelona, ​​and often chatted with Guardiola. At the same time, he also received an invitation to Inter Milan's centennial celebration. When he learned that Guardiola was going to fly to Naples to watch the game, he was itchy Unbearable, but also decided to go together.

The two were sitting in the core area of ​​the chairman's stand, looking at the bustling Sao Paulo Stadium. Although the players from both sides had not yet entered the stadium, the atmosphere was already very strong.

Especially outside the stadium, the voices of fans were faintly heard from all directions. Obviously, the outside was also crowded with fans of Naples. Many places also adopted the method of open-air screens to broadcast the game live.

"It's not a Serie A game anymore."

Cruyff looked at the scene, especially around him. There were many famous Italian football legends. He even saw Ulivieri and Ventura and other highly respected old coaches in Italian football.

An ordinary Serie A league can attract them?

"I think it's a collision of two different tactical ideas!" Guardiola said.

Cruyff nodded, "In the past two years, Italy has been full of rejection of Gao Shen, but in the professional field, he is still very recognized, and now, representing the highest level of Italian football, Inter Milan, represented by Italian local coaches, Manchester United Chini, starting this battle for the lead with Naples is really interesting and fascinating."

"But from the beginning, Inter Milan lost a piece." Guardiola smiled.

He is a staunch high party member.

Football games are never just the game itself, but also before and after the game, or even the entire season.

From the pre-match point of view, Naples has done better and more adequately than Inter Milan in terms of preparation and player adjustment. At least Naples are well-staffed and play with the full main lineup.

Several Inter Milan players have just recovered from injuries, and the team's state may not be guaranteed.

"I think the state and preparation can at most equalize the gap between Naples and Inter Milan in terms of strength, so this game will test the tactics and on-the-spot command of the coaches of both sides." Cruyff guessed.

This is why so many Italian football legends will be attracted tonight.

They all want to know, whose tactics will be better when the fighting strength of both sides is similar?

Therefore, to a certain extent, this game not only determines the balance of the Serie A championship this season, but may even change the tactical style and future trends of Italian football.

Even, this will be a classic duel recorded in the history of Italian tactics!

Both the media and fans regard Gao Shen as a beast, but only professionals in Italian football know that they need people like Gao Shen to bring shocks and fresh excitement to them, allowing them to absorb advanced nutrients.

"I have always felt that Gao Shen is very different from you." Cruyff looked at his proud disciple and said with a smile.

Guardiola nodded, "He is the most powerful locker room manager and motivational guru I have ever met."

"Oh?" Cruyff did not expect that Guardiola would rate Gao Shen so highly.

"At the beginning, I discussed with him about block and grid, but he didn't agree. He thought it was a kind of laziness in management." Guardiola smiled wryly. He is now using block and grid. Grid, to help the Barcelona player execute his tactics.

But this set was not accepted by the advanced.

In other words, Gao Shen no longer uses this set.

"He has studied management, and he said that bureaucratic management has three tricks, which have been tried and tested. The first is to decompose tasks into layers, then to assign responsibilities to people, and finally to distinguish between rewards and punishments."

"He thinks that my block and grid belong to this category." Guardiola smiled wryly.

If it wasn't for Cruyff, he certainly wouldn't say that.

Cruyff was also a head coach. He knew the importance of managing the locker room. At first glance, he heard Guardiola's three tricks.

Make good use of these three tricks, let alone managing a team, even managing an army, I am afraid there is no problem.

"He doesn't agree?" Cruyff was curious.

Guardiola nodded with a wry smile, "He thinks this method is simple and rude and not humane enough. It is no problem to meet the right players in this way, but when encountering unsuitable players, it often causes big problems."

"Then how did he do it?" Cruyff asked with interest.

Guardiola shook his head with a wry smile, "He hardly cares about training, he chats with players every day, not only chatting with players about his own thoughts, but also listening to players' opinions, anyway, he chats with players about everything, including playing games, even Looking for a girlfriend, he calls it going deep into the grassroots."

"Go deep into the grassroots?" Cruyff was taken aback.

Is this a cadre? Or a conglomerate?

"Then he will integrate a lot of different scattered opinions, clearly know the player's character, ability and characteristics, and then convey his thoughts and ideas to the players, let them form a unified idea, know how to do it, and why Do this so that you can act in unison on the pitch. UU Reading "

When Cruyff heard this, he couldn't help laughing bitterly, "That's really you have to chat with players every day, and your eloquence is good."

When encountering a stuffy gourd, this set is absolutely impossible to play.

Guardiola also smiled and nodded, "He said that he praised people, and he could praise them for hours at a time, without repeating them."

"So outrageous?" Cruyff was stunned.

Guardiola couldn't help nodding, he was so sturdy!

"His set of ideas, at first glance, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but in the long run, the effect will be very good, even very good, and it can handle the contradictions in the locker room very well." Cruyff was a little convinced.

At least in the locker room management, Gao Shen is better than he imagined.

"Yeah, so you see, this season he has replaced Cannavaro with David Luiz and Bonucci, the latter is the captain on the field, there is no contradiction in the locker room, Cannavaro is in the media to fan the flames At the same time, he even helped Gao Shen explain in turn."

That's it!

Obviously it was the player who suffered a big loss, but in the end, he was able to take the initiative to defend Gao Shen.

To put it mildly, this is called taking care of the overall situation.

To put it poorly, this is called being sold by Gao Shen and counting the money for him!

This ability really makes Guardiola admire him, even more than his advanced technical and tactical level.

"To be honest, I have always felt that if we really want to change coaches this summer, Gao Shen is definitely the most suitable candidate, more suitable than Mourinho. I don't think he is suitable for us Barcelona!" Guardiola said. .

The expression on Cruyff's face was condensed, and he obviously felt that the problem was serious, but the godfather of Barcelona nodded.

At this time, the players of the two teams stepped into the stadium one after another.

The frenetic atmosphere of the Sao Paulo Stadium was instantly pushed to its peak.
