202 This Deschamps Can Bite!
Trembling, as if facing an abyss, as if walking on thin ice!
This is the twelve-character mantra given to him by an old oily senior before he retired when he was in the workplace.
Being admired and powerful is the most addictive and ego-inflating thing.
This is a knot that all leaders cannot avoid.
If you want to avoid it to the greatest extent, it is not enough to rely on introspection and prudence, and someone needs to be reminded and supervised.
But reminders and supervision are also particular.
Before the leader admits his mistake, the subordinates must not point it out. This is an iron law, and those who violate it will die.
If the leader realizes that he is wrong, follow up immediately, point out the mistakes of the leader, and give a solution, add points for himself, and win the appreciation of the leader. This is the way to survive and promote.
Gao Shen always kept these twelve-character mantras in mind when he was in the workplace, but he still made mistakes from time to time.
He started from the grassroots level, and when he was a small leader, he led a team of ten people. The praise of the team members made him inflate himself once, and when he went up to the next level, when he started to manage dozens of people, he inflated again, and then again. up...
Gradually, he discovered that being respected and powerful is like a drug, which can be addictive, and self-inflatedness is a sequelae, which cannot be quit, so he reminds himself all the time, pay attention to introspection and reflection, clamp your tail tightly, and walk on thin ice. Guard against arrogance and impatience.
But even so, it still follows like a shadow, appearing to cause trouble if one is not careful.
He used a sentence he said when pouring chicken soup into the players: Standing in the stadium, tens of thousands of people in the stands above are calling your name, no matter who it is, it will definitely be hot-headed and desperate.
Saying no, that's because I haven't experienced it myself.
...
In the game against Juventus, from the moment the referee Rizzoli blew his whistle, Gao Shen realized that he was wrong.
Very wrong!
Before the game, he was full of confidence that Deschamps would not take any risks. Unexpectedly, Deschamps was very brave and aggressive.
Juventus decisively adopted four-three-three tactics at the San Paolo Stadium.
Goalkeeper Buffon, defense Balzaretti, Chiellini, Lerothalle and Bilindelli, Zanetti in the midfield, Marchisio and Paro in the front, Pierre in the front three Luo, Sarajeta and Camoranesi.
From the beginning of the game,
Juventus showed no sign of holding back, but decisively pressed out to attack.
Playing full-court pressing and oppressive tactics against Naples, there was no intention of retreating to their own penalty area. After stealing the ball, they counterattacked in the simplest way.
This kind of tit-for-tat style of play is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in terms of ball possession and the scene, but in terms of threatening offense, it was a great fight with Naples, especially after the starting tactic caught Naples by surprise.
Everyone can see that Deschamps has made up his mind!
In the 22nd minute, after Marchisio intercepted the ball in midfield, he quickly passed it forward to Sarajeta, and then passed it back to Piero. Good at Del Piero area, the first record for Juventus.
One to zero!
...
Gao Shen stood on the sidelines, wishing he could slap himself several times.
Not because he guessed wrong Juventus's starting tactics, not because he guessed wrong Deschamps' determination, not because he fell behind in the score, but because he was careless! He is proud! He is megalomaniac!
Since coaching Real Madrid, he has experienced various challenges along the way, always walking on thin ice, which made him finally lead Real Madrid to win the double crown.
After moving to Naples, he also gained the trust of the management and got what he wanted. With his own advantages, he quickly built a competitive team and played a game that almost everyone admired. Endless attacking football.
Nine consecutive victories in Serie B and three consecutive victories in the Coppa Italia, whether it is the Serie B team or the Serie A powerhouse, they have all been defeated by him.
Unknowingly, or, he didn't know when he started, he was careless, and even inadvertently underestimated his opponent.
For example, before the game, why did he conclude that Deschamps would definitely defend and counterattack?
Naples is really as powerful as he imagined? Strong enough to make Deschamps despair?
Do not be silly!
The rabbit is in a hurry and bites!
Who is Deschamps?
The head coach of the Champions League runner-up, a superstar who has played football all his life, is this a kind person?
You are so advanced that you just won a few games, what are you proud of?
The five-to-zero victory over Juventus makes you so complacent that Juventus is a piece of trash at your disposal?
Do you really think there is no one in Italian football?
Gao Shen stood on the sidelines all the time, clenched his hands tightly, trembling slightly.
He doesn't blame anyone, he doesn't blame the players, he doesn't blame his assistants, he blames himself.
Before the game, he was a little arrogant, looked down on Serie B, and felt that Serie B was nothing special. No, he has won nine consecutive victories.
During this period of time, what he saw in the media, what people around him heard, and what he felt from the fans were all praises, all praises, which caused him to drift unconsciously.
In fact, he has been very careful, and even reminded himself from time to time, but he still can't grasp it.
He has suffered this kind of loss before, and more than once.
Thinking of this, Gao Shen couldn't help remembering that Carlo reminded himself to be careful several times before the game, and smiled wryly in his heart.
…………
…………
The first half ended 0-1 with the home team at the front and the visiting team at the back.
With Del Piero's goal, Juventus temporarily took the lead.
Gao Shen didn't turn around until the whistle sounded, walked towards Carlo, gave him a hug, and said softly, "You reminded me right, I was careless."
Carlo suddenly raised his head and looked at Gao Shen in disbelief.
He really didn't expect Gao Shen to admit that he was wrong.
Gao Shen gave a wry smile, and sighed, "It's been very smooth recently."
Carlo nodded heavily, he was a bystander, but what surprised him was the profound reaction.
He really didn't expect Gao Shen to be so young, to be so big-hearted and dare to admit his mistakes.
"In the future, you will need to remind me more." Gao Shen said sincerely.
Carlo nodded in agreement.
"Thank you." Gao Shen thanked and walked to the sidelines.
The score was behind, and the players were a little frustrated. When they walked off the field, they all bowed their heads, but Gao Shen went up to meet them, hugged them one by one, took the responsibility of everyone, encouraged the players, and sent them into the locker room .
We have only finished the first half now, and everything is still too late.
As a leader, no one is immune to mistakes, but one must know how to stop losses in time and even turn crises into opportunities.
...
"The first half was my problem, the responsibility lies with me, I apologize to everyone!"
Entering the locker room, the first thing Gao Shen did was to bravely assume all responsibilities and apologize to the players.
A lot of players are in disbelief because they rarely see a manager who apologizes.
It's more of the kind of people who are obviously at fault, but still insist on shifting all the responsibility to the players.
But Gao Shen was really apologizing, with a very sincere attitude and a very serious tone.
However, after apologizing, the matter is over.
Gao Shen soon began to adjust in the second half.
Juventus adopted a four-three-three formation tonight, with Del Piero and Camoranesi on both wings moving forward, suppressing Naples' two full-backs.
"But in this way, the distance between their two wingers and the full-backs will be lengthened. To maintain a proper distance, the full-backs need to press forward. When the full-backs press forward, the defense must follow suit. .”
"Juventus' full-court siege tactic consumes a lot of physical energy, and the intensity will definitely be reduced in the second half. This is our opportunity, especially on the two wings, to create more one-on-ones and hit behind them more."
Naples has plenty of stamina, and has compressed the overall formation, which is basically controlled between 25 and 30 meters from front to back, and adopts an overall movement method to press and press, which will consume less physical energy for the players.
But Juventus is not. They press the whole game. In this way, the players will consume a lot of energy, and the age is there.
And this is Naples' chance!
After finishing the arrangement, Gao Shen turned around and looked at Carlo, signaling him with his eyes, is there anything else that needs to be added?
Carlo smiled and shook his head.
Gao Shen, who had calmed down, immediately recovered his sharp eyesight and keen sense of smell, and immediately caught the Achilles heel of Juventus.
In fact, the problems of the Bianconeri have always been there, and it is not unreasonable for Gao Shen to judge that Deschamps dare not press out and attack.
It's just that no one thought that Deschamps would push it out desperately, and obviously wanted to give it a go.
It is estimated that the handsome position is really shaken, and the pressure is too great.
Sometimes, the head coach is like this, just like the middle layer of Oreo, someone is pressing on the top, and someone is pushing on the bottom.
…………
…………
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Naples continued to occupy the advantage on the field and continued to suppress Juventus.
The Bianconeri's pressing strength was indeed reduced compared to the first half. The age and body of the players were difficult for the head coach to change, and Naples took this opportunity to repeatedly test and try to launch an attack.
In the fifty-sixth minute, Bonucci sent a long pass from the backcourt to the right side of the frontcourt.
Pellet ran to the right to grab the ball, beat Chiellini, grabbed it with a header, and gave it to Gervinho.
As soon as the Ivorian winger got the ball, he immediately threw away Balzaretti, dribbled the ball diagonally into the middle, and his speed immediately increased. Both Juventus players, Balzaretti and Paro, were unable to stop him. .
When rushing to the outside of the penalty area, Gervinho passed the ball to Hamsik who ran over to meet him. He advanced at a faster speed and rushed into the penalty area.
Under the interference of Zanetti, Hamsik took the initiative to meet the ball before it was in place, and kicked the ball back to the right side of the penalty area.
I saw Pellet, who was grabbing the ball from the right just now, also quickly rushed into the penalty area from the right at this time. Before everyone else, he made a cross pass and sent the ball directly to the goal.
Gervinho slapped his horse to the left side of the front of the small penalty area just right, and when Pellet's cross came, he rushed ahead of Buffon, shot and sent the ball into the Juventus goal that was close at hand.
One to one!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"
"Gervinho equalized for Napoli!"
"It was a fantastic combination of front right and center and Gervinho did a great job."
Gao Shen also breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines, applauding the players' performance loudly.
But at the same time, he is still signaling the players to continue to attack.
He wants to fight for another goal!
