Chapter 355： best of the season

The 2007-08 Serie A season finally came to an end.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Naples miraculously won the Serie A title as a newly-promoted horse and became famous all over the world.

With this championship, head coach Gao Shen once again broke into the eyes of fans all over the world.

UEFA officials gave special reports, believing that Gao Shen used a miraculous Serie A championship to prove his coaching ability to everyone in the world, proving that he coached Real Madrid to win the double championship was not accidental.

"The twenty-seven-year-old Gao Shen has become a famous young marshal in Europe!"

This is equivalent to the official endorsement of UEFA.

From Italy to Europe, and even to the whole world, all the media and fans have begun to re-acquaint themselves with the profound.

Authoritative media, including L’Equipe, Bild, and Kicker Magazine, all praised Gao Shen, believing that he could lead Naples to win this epic championship, which is enough for the world to see his coaching level clearly.

What's more important is the attacking football and strong game dominance played by Napoli under his coaching.

Kicker magazine believes that "Gao Shen and his Napoli have been the most amazing team in European football in the past season!"

The team newspaper also gave a very high evaluation, "A sophisticated team will subvert European football!"

Countless media and fans have begun to look forward to next season's Champions League, hoping to see this Naples show their strength in the European arena, and see how good this team is.

Can it stand the test of the Champions League?

…

When the whole world praised Naples, after the Serie A season ended, the best selections of various seasons were also announced, especially the most concerned Serie A season's best team.

The best coach of the season is beyond doubt, and Gao Shen was elected without any suspense.

Even the media and fans agree that the golden seat of the Serie A Oscars next season is none other than profound.

This is enough to prove that after winning this championship, Gao Shen has completely conquered Italy, the kingdom of tactics.

There are three main candidates for the goalkeeper in the best team.

Handanovic of Napoli, Cesar of Inter and Buffon of Juventus.

These three goalkeepers performed very well. Handanovic was selected mainly for his outstanding performance in Naples, and his role in Naples is also very new to Italian football.

He is the goalkeeper with the highest number of passes, the highest success rate and the highest level of participation in the game among the 20 Serie A teams.

In Gao Shen's view, although there is still a big gap with the future Neuer, by the current standards, it is already very rare, and he has done a good job.

Mainly stable.

Also doing well is Buffon.

As Sacchi said in his column: With Buffon in front of goal, Juventus can concede ten fewer goals per season.

It shows the value of Buffon.

But in the end, the award went to Cesar.

Inter Milan's defense line this season is actually really stretched, but this has in turn allowed Cesar to get more room to play.

The back line is Vargas, David Luiz, Panucci and Maicon.

Napoli have two players shortlisted, Vargas and David Luiz.

Needless to say, the left back, in the position on the left, Vargas is basically the number one in Serie A, with no competitors.

David Luiz comes from his performance, especially after the team's away draw against Inter Milan, the Brazilian central defender has undergone considerable changes. Although there are occasionally some frizz, on the whole, the progress has been very great.

More importantly, in Serie A, David Luiz has also been immersed in the defensive art of Italy, and his overall strength and tactical literacy have improved significantly.

Panucci is a great player in Rome, and Maicon is the best choice on the right.

Lichsteiner was a newcomer, and he was still a long way from Maicon.

The three midfielders are: Biglia, Cambiasso and Hamsik.

There is no suspense about Cambiasso. He is Inter Milan's best player. Some people even say that Inter Milan's sluggishness in the second half is due to Cambiasso's injury.

Hamsik is equally uncontroversial.

Biglia is one of Napoli's double midfielders, and his performance is commendable, but there is a Macho in Sampdoria.

Yes, this right-back, who has been favored for a long time, has played the role of a one-stop on the right in Sampdoria this season, and has performed perfectly. It can be said that he is one of the best players in Serie A.

Biglia's victory is stable, and Ma Qiao's victory is amazing.

In the end, Biglia of Naples was successfully selected.

The striker was elected with Mutu, Del Piero and Cavani.

Mutu shined in Florence, Cavani and Piero ranked first and second in the Serie A scorer list, their selection is not controversial.

Cavani also shined in Serie A with his outstanding performance this season and his tyrannical physical quality, winning the attention of many giant teams. Gu Yu

In fact, Di Maria and Sanchez have also performed very well by high standards, but unfortunately, Mutu and Del Piero are even more eye-catching in terms of data.

In the 11-man list of the season's best team, Naples occupied half of the country, which shows the strength of this newly-promoted horse.

To win the championship in the end is well deserved.

…

After the final round of Serie A, Gao Shen gave the team another day off after recovering from training.

The Coppa Italia final is on May 24th, even later than the Champions League final. There is a full week before the final round of Serie A, so Gao Shen and Naples have enough time to adjust slowly.

But there are some things that you have to start working on right away.

That is the summer transfer.

As early as the winter break, Gao Shen had made it clear that he hoped to introduce Macho from Sampdoria.

It's a pity that Sampdoria didn't even want to negotiate with Naples at that time, not even asking for a price.

But now, the introduction of a high-level right-back is imminent.

When the team was on vacation, Gao Shen went to the headquarters in Naples and had a meeting with De Laurentiis and Marino. He made it clear that Georgie Garrick was no longer in his plan.

He wants a right-back, for example, Macho.

"Next season, we will definitely have to fight on the third line. The pressure on the full-backs will be very high and the physical test will be very heavy, so I need a high-level right-back to form a rotation with Lichtsteiner, and Macho is the most suitable. candidate."

This is the third time that Gao Shen has proposed to buy Ma Qiao.

The previous two times, the club agreed and started to operate, but unfortunately it failed to do so.

"Each position with two high-level players, that's what I want."

De Laurentiis nodded and looked at Marino, who was slightly embarrassed.

"Macho is not cheap now, at least seven or eight million euros."

It was somewhat disappointing that Ma Qiao was not able to take the opportunity during the winter break. Ma Qiao was not very valuable at that time.

But now, after a season of outstanding performance, Macho's name has already started, and the level is really high, but his value has also soared.

Without seven or eight million euros, I will definitely not be able to get it.

This is also a huge sum of money for Naples.

The Serie A champions actually don’t have much money, mainly to reach the Champions League next season, but the money is only visible, not in touch, so if you want to buy Macho, De Laurentiis still has to pay for it out of his own pocket.

More importantly, this summer, the team faces heavy pressure to renew.

The club is doing its best to keep Gao Shen in the team, and it is certain to renew the contract. There are other players who must do their best to retain it. This also requires a huge amount of money. If the players can be sold...

De Laurentiis mentioned this to Marino before. For example, by selling Gervinho last season, the club's finances will be much better. It would be even better if they could sell again.

But Marino felt that it was not the right time to talk to Gao Shen.

In fact, even if Naples won the Serie A championship and are about to compete in the Champions League, there are still players who are not satisfied with the status quo.

For example, Georgie Garrick and Domic.

Both players are dissatisfied with their current situation and want to leave the team, because they can't play the main force, and even play very few games, especially Domic.

"Frankly speaking, Domich is not suitable for my requirements. If there is a suitable offer, he can be sold for at least four or five million euros. UU Reading and Georgie Garrick , he should also be worth two or three million euros."

There is a saying that a rising tide lifts all boats.

With Napoli performing well, these two players have risen in value despite being a substitute, and they are both in their seasons.

"Sell Georgie Garrick, you want Macho, I can understand, but sell Domic, we will only have three central defenders and a substitute for Cannavaro, is that enough?" Marino said a little. asked worriedly.

Since the past season, Gao Shen has supported the combination of Bonucci and David Luiz, and the performance is also very good. It is a sure thing for Cannavaro to become a substitute.

But just one replacement is not enough.

Look at Inter Milan, when the wave of injuries came this season, the two central defenders ended the season ahead of schedule.

"I have a suitable candidate, and probably don't need a transfer fee, so you can use the money from the sale of Domic and Georgie Garrick to buy Macho, I believe, it should be almost the same."

Now it is not like a few years from now, and Serie A is not like the Premier League and La Liga. Serie A is a group of poor and sour teams, and the player's value will not be high.

If this were changed in the Premier League, a local household registration book like Macho would have to be doubled at least several times.

But in Serie A, seven or eight million euros is very tempting.

This is also why the teams in the Premier League and La Liga can wave their banknotes in Italy and buy and buy as much as they like.

"You hurry up and sign Macho as soon as possible. You can't let other teams come first. I believe that he should be very interested in playing the Champions League with us. If necessary, I can also give him a call."

Gao Shen is still very interested in this one-stop player from the right.

As for the central defender, he already has goals.
