Chapter 338: return to the Bernabeu

When the Italian media, who originally regarded Gao Shen as a public enemy of the whole people and wished to get rid of him, suddenly sang his praises and praised him for his ability, Gao Shen felt very uncomfortable.

After getting up in the morning, he first used the computer to surf the Internet and searched several major news websites in Italy, and found that the media reports and the comments of the fans below were mainly praise, and he didn't even see many doubtful messages.

He didn't believe it, so after washing up, he rushed downstairs and read the morning newspaper again.

Forget the local media in Naples, Rome's La Repubblica, Gazzetta dello Sport, and even Torino Gazzetta dello Sport... All the media are actually boasting, even if they scold them, they are scolding Mancini and Inter Milan.

Gao Shen still doesn't believe it. He has searched every newspaper for a long time, and there is not even a single negative report about him and Naples. Who dares to believe it?

This made Gao Shen feel very incredible, as if all the people in Italy were brainwashed by the creator overnight.

Some media reports are even written. How should I put it? Even Gao Shen felt embarrassed when he read it. He really wanted to call this newspaper, the reporter, and tell them: Dude, you didn't say that yesterday!

Come on, brother, let's have the guts, don't change your position easily, continue to scold, scold fiercely, scold to death!

You suddenly praise me so much, I'm so uncomfortable!

"I have a disease, a terminal illness, and I feel uncomfortable without being scolded." Gao Shen left a message in the penguin space.

Then he went out to work.

When he got into Lucas' car and came to Fort Volturno's office, as soon as he opened the computer web page, a message popped up, "Remember to take your medicine." There was a smiling face behind it.

Gao Shen was in the office, smiling and silly.



5-0 rout of Inter Milan, once again topped the list, Naples up and down the mood is high.

To put it nicely, morale is like a rainbow, but Gao Shen is also a little worried, for fear that the players will be paralyzed.

Don't think it's arrogant.

They are all young people in their early twenties, who doesn't know who?

However, at such a time, it is not possible to suppress the enthusiasm and morale of the players. This requires proper control and guidance by Gao Shen and the coaching staff. Training is also a very important method.

Since coaching Real Madrid, Gao Shen has always attached great importance to resumption of training.

In fact, it is also a one-week game, but in fact, Naples' training plan has been adjusted all the time.

Because the time of each round is different.

For example, Napoli's game against Inter is on Sunday night and the next round against Roma is on Sunday afternoon, so there are six days between the two games, which is plenty.

Follow the normal process, resume training and adjustment on Monday morning, leave on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, resume on Tuesday afternoon, focus on strength on Wednesday, and do endurance training on Thursday. Team half day vacation.

Generally speaking, in Sunday's game, the training volume and intensity will be the highest on Friday, and on Saturday, the training volume will drop sharply, mainly to stimulate the players' state, so that the players can play the best way on Sunday. state to play the game.

Did you find a problem?

Yes, if the last round was on a Sunday and the next round is on a Friday or Saturday, there are really only four or five days left.

If the last round was on Saturday and the next round was on Sunday, that's a full seven days.

And if it is a double game a week, let alone a vacation for the players, almost all the training is recovering, there is no time to carry out some targeted drills, and even the players' state and physical fitness cannot be effectively adjusted.

This is also a big advantage of Naples as Gao Shen said before.

Without the entanglement of the European war, the team can prepare without distractions.

The next round of opponents, Rome, is going to Madrid, Spain in midweek to challenge Real Madrid away.



After Pintus joined the advanced coaching staff, he and Buenaventura made many changes to the training.

Restorative training, for example, is more often carried out in different groups.

In the game against Inter Milan, Pintus took more playing time, basically the starting and bench players, and trained in the indoor gym. This is a training method to help them recover effectively.

Carlo and other members of the coaching staff took other people and divided them into different groups to conduct restorative training on the court. According to the different physical conditions and physical conditions of the players, after the crowd was subdivided, they carried out targeted training.

The goalkeeper naturally followed Lopis for special training, and some players with injuries also carried out special training under the leadership of Buenaventura. The latter is still very good at rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

The whole training was arranged very compactly, but there was basically nothing advanced.

It was just after the training that Gao Shen had a conversation with the whole team. The content was not uncommon. It was to praise the players for their performance last night, affirm everyone's efforts during this period, and encourage them to continue their efforts. I believe that the team can Winning the championship after the season is generally in this category.

But Gao Shen emphasized one point, and that is mentality.

Napoli are leading the pack now, but this is not the first time.

"This is the third time we've topped the list. The first two times, we didn't sit firmly or even get hot ass, but we were kicked out, but this time, I hope that we can all work together, in this Sit down all the time."

"There are still the last twelve rounds left in the league. No one can guarantee that if we are kicked out this time, will we have a chance to get back up again. I don't want us to end the season with regrets in the end!"

The high-level tone was neither light nor serious, not willing to put pressure on the players, but to give them appropriate reminders.

The position of the leader is very cool, but it is not easy to sit! Guliao

After that, Gao Shen announced that the team would have a day off.

As soon as the monkeys heard that they were on holiday, their eyes lit up and they all dispersed.

Groups of three or five, shoulder to shoulder, discussing over there, it is rare to have a holiday, where and where they are going to play.

"I have been with them for a long time, and my mentality has become younger." Carlo stood beside Gao Shen and laughed.

Buenaventura, Pintus and others nodded in agreement, but Gao Shen did not feel that way.

Because he was very young.

With the rise of Naples' fame, Carlo, the former Real Madrid coach, has also received a lot of coaching invitations.

Gao Shen became very popular, and as Gao Shen's right-hand man, Carlo naturally followed suit.

This is also the norm in the circle. Everyone hopes to use Carlo to copy this advanced set of tactical play and succeed, and there are even La Liga teams.

After playing Inter Milan last night, on the way back, Carlo told Gao Shen about this. He was still a little hesitant, but the fight against Inter Milan made him make up his mind that he did not plan to leave Naples.

"I know very well that if I coach alone, I don't expect to be involved in the championship or even the Champions League, but as an assistant coach, I should still have a good chance, so I chose to stay."

Of course, Gao Shen is also welcome. After all, it is not easy for him to find an assistant coach.

In fact, Carlo himself is well aware that he can't play such a tactical style of play at all.

Yes, he is very clear about advanced tactical concepts and ideas, but he is not advanced.

In many cases, a team's tactics and style of play are often determined by its head coach rather than the tactics it employs.

Therefore, Mourinho plays four, three and three at Chelsea. He is still a defensive and counter-attack type of four, three and three, and will not become the four, three and three of Barcelona or Ajax, and Chelsea will not become the same because of this. more aggressive.

Carlo also knew this, and that he would be disappointed by anyone who had hoped that he could replicate the lofty success of coaching alone.



At noon, after the team's holiday, Gao Shen returned to downtown Naples and had a meal with Zidane, Valdano, Sacchi and others.

Guardiola and Cruyff both left in the morning.

The former is eager to go back to be the head coach of his Barcelona second team, the latter is not familiar with Gao Shen. Even when Gao Shen was coaching Real Madrid before, he quarreled with Gao Shen, and naturally he would not meet Gao Shen, so he ran directly. travel.

Gao Shen asked the club to arrange a driver to take them to the airport, which was considered to be the friendship of the landlords.

Sacchi's current column career is getting more and more prosperous, especially after Naples defeated Inter Milan 5-0, his advanced tactics have basically been recognized by the entire Italian football.

In the face of real results, no matter how tough people are, they have to bow their heads.

In this way, the harvest is rich. In addition to Gao Shen and Naples, it is Sacchi who is the number one trumpet.

No way, who let people bet first?

"From the morning to the present, UU Reading has at least a dozen TV stations and thirty newspapers. I hope to make an appointment with me and let me have a good chat about you and your Naples."

At lunch, Saki showed off with pride.

Gao Shen laughed and shook his head, this Italian parallel import is really getting out of the circle.

"I feel that you are more in demand than me now." Gao Shen smiled.

But I have to say that Saki is very good in both writing and eloquence. Coupled with his legendary record in the past, he has a faint sign of becoming the No. 1 Internet celebrity in European and even world football.

"Don't say it, I don't have as many Twitter followers as you." Saki said depressedly.

His Twitter is more diligent than Gao Shen, but his fans are still not as fast as Gao Shen.

"You'd better change your avatar. You say you are like this. People who are not familiar with football can easily confuse you and Collina." Gao Shen further attacked.

Two Italian bald heads are really easy to confuse in the eyes of many people.

Saki was so angry that he couldn't eat, and threatened to write a column in the afternoon, scolding him to death.

Can Gao Shen be afraid?



That night, Gao Shen accompanied the management of Naples and had a meal with Maradona.

His Royal Highness the ball king really responded in Naples, and there were people blocking him wherever he went.

No way, who makes people the king of football?

However, Maradona's character is really in line with the temperament of the city of Naples, and it is normal that he is popular here.

After the entertainment, for the next two days, Gao Shen led the team to concentrate on training.

On Wednesday afternoon, after the training with the team, Gao Shen took Lucas and Buenaventura to Rome without stopping, and took a direct flight to Madrid.

This is the first time that Gao Shen has returned to the Bernabeu after leaving Real Madrid.
