Two Hundred and Six He Is Such a Good Man!
When Gao Shen was chatting with Guardiola, Lucas had already answered the phone and came back.
Seeing his smiling expression, Gao Shen was a little curious and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You were right, Pioli is an honest man." Lucas laughed.
Stefano Pioli, the current head coach of Parma, has been coaching the youth team before. He coached in Serie B Modena last season and almost brought this team to Serie A.
With his outstanding performance last season, Pioli got the favor of Parma, coached this Serie A team, and led the team to play in the UEFA Cup.
Why does Gao Shen say that he is an honest man?
The reason is simple. Parma this season is a pit, a sinkhole, and it is useless for anyone to go there.
This point became more and more obvious as the season progressed. .
Do you know what Parma's goal is this season?
For a team that can play in the UEFA Cup, the publicly shouted goal turned out to be: relegation!
Yes, you read that right, relegation.
Many people will definitely wonder, this is unreasonable, Parma performed well last season, at least they can play in the UEFA Cup, how can they avoid relegation?
In fact, just take a closer look at Parma's summer transfers.
The main goalkeeper Frey was redeemed by Fiorentina, Bonera went to AC Milan, Simplicio and Bresciano went to Palermo, and the main central defender Cannavaro Jr. is now in the deep lineup.
Even Marchionne went to Juventus.
Everyone can imagine that players like Cannavaro Jr. and Marchionne would rather go to Serie B than stay. So what is the situation of this team?
A lot of people were sold, and there were also introductions, but they didn't spend much money. Kutuzov, Paci and others were all free transfers.
In other words, Parma is taking the most cost-effective way to fight for the new season.
In this case, what is so strange about relegation?
...
"I found some people to find out, Parma's current goal is very pragmatic, to relegation in Serie A,
The UEFA Cup goes as far as possible, so we can see that from the beginning of the season to now, their focus is on the UEFA Cup, and now it is Serie A. "
Lucas' words made both Gao Shen and Guardiola fall into thinking.
"Just now, Parma drew 2-2 with Messina in an away game. With a two-goal lead, they were tied by the opponent with two goals in a row, and the main defenders Contini and Pacci on the back line were both tied. exist."
"In addition, Kutuzov, Morfeo and Boudin, the core frontcourt players, also all started."
When Gao Shen heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, "He's really an honest man, he didn't lie, he just told us that he didn't intend to do his best in the Coppa Italia."
Guardiola also smiled, which is indeed a bit honest.
"It is estimated that they have been forced to do nothing. Now that Parma is in the relegation zone, relegation is a problem. Next weekend, they will face Inter Milan. This is the strongest team in Serie A. If they lose again, the ranking will go up. Don’t dare to take risks.” The legend of Barcelona analyzed.
Sometimes, the situation that the manager faces is such that there is no choice at all.
...
Why does Gao Shen say that Pioli is an honest man?
That's because before he crossed over, this buddy was coaching AC Milan.
I still remember that when he first coached the Rossoneri, he had a mediocre resume. He even changed ten clubs in twelve years, dismissed get out of class five times and was forced to resign once. He is definitely the number one unlucky Italian coach.
Fans of the Rossoneri even created a brand-new type for him: the half-way coach.
As a result, unexpectedly, this buddy did very well in AC Milan, which slowly changed the outside world's impression of him.
In other words, Pioli has the strength, but he is too honest.
There is a saying in the workplace that honest people are used to "bully".
Therefore, looking at football, honest people are not doing well, like Ranieri, Bosque, Rijkaard...
If it was Gao Shen, or some other dishonest head coach, he would definitely not take over a mess like Parma. He would rather stay at home than waste that time and blacken his resume.
But honest people suffer like this.
...
"Who are you trying to harm?" Lucas asked curiously.
Both he and Guardiola noticed that Gao Shen didn't know what interesting thing he thought of, but he had a smirk on his face.
This is absolutely malicious.
Gao Shen's smile narrowed, he became serious, and he clicked his tongue, "What are you talking about? Do I look like this kind of person?"
Both Lucas and Guardiola did not answer tacitly, but a word was clearly written on their foreheads.
picture!
"Pep, stay away from him in the future, you'll learn badly." Gao Shen laughed.
After finding out about Parma's situation, Gao Shen felt relaxed.
Obviously, Pioli does not want to give up the Coppa Italia, but wants to defend the San Paolo Stadium.
The schedule was right there, so he probably couldn't help it.
For Parma, the best result is an away draw and a full counterattack at home.
But Gao Shen will definitely not give such a chance to his opponent.
Isn't this something obvious?
"Starting tomorrow, let's practice offense!" Gao Shen sharpened his sword and said eagerly.
…………
…………
Parma's situation is indeed not ideal, but their performance in the UEFA Cup is still very good.
So much so that Pioli's team visited the Sao Paulo Stadium, Italian football's views on this are still more inclined to Parma.
Although Napoli beat Ascoli, this team is not on the same level as Parma.
But in such an atmosphere, when Gao Shen was interviewed by the local media in Naples, he directly started the embarrassing mode of Pioli's Parma.
How to blow?
Never mentioned that they fell into the relegation zone in Serie A, but only talked about Parma's three-game winning streak in the UEFA Cup, which almost made them a representative of Serie A's combat effectiveness in the UEFA Cup, and praised them for their performance in the European competition. How competitive.
In the words of Lucas, "If I were Pioli, and I heard you brag like that, I would be embarrassed to play defensive counterattack!"
"If you don't tell me, Pioli probably doesn't even know that he is so good."
In the end, Gao Shen almost told Pioli clearly: Dude, when an excellent and powerful team like yours comes to a small stadium like ours in Serie B, they should boldly let go of their hands and feet to play, attack, and play. conquer……
However, after playing it once, Gao Shen changed the subject.
He said that although Parma is very strong, Naples will still stick to its own tactics at home and will not become conservative just because the opponent is a Serie A team.
"Yes, Parma is a competitive team in the UEFA Cup, but we are not afraid of such an opponent. Even, my players and I hope that Parma can play more aggressively at the San Paolo Stadium. sex."
Gao Shen said that Naples is ready, "We hope to send a wonderful game to the fans at home."
...
On the one hand, Parma is bragging, and on the other, Gao Shen is organizing and preparing for the game step by step.
Having learned from the previous experience and lessons against Juventus, Gao Shen is very cautious this time.
In terms of tactics, he will still boldly adopt aggressive and highly aggressive tactics and lineups, but in terms of targeted tactics and preparations, he will be as cautious as possible, and he will be prepared for everything.
He guessed that Pioli will defend and counterattack, because they played the main force in the weekend game and basically played the whole game. From this point of view, there is a high probability that Parma will adopt a strong rotation when they visit Naples .
In this way, Parma can only adopt defensive counterattack tactics.
It is likely to be the 4321 Christmas tree formation when facing strong teams this season.
This is also a misunderstanding of many fans, thinking that the Christmas tree formation was created by Carlo Ancelotti for AC Milan. In fact, it is not true. Carry forward and become well-known.
And the biggest problem with this formation and tactics is tearing.
The last seven are basically defending, and only the first three are used when counterattacking, which will lead to a tear between offense and defense.
In fact, Ancelotti's AC Milan also has such a problem, but they can rely on players to make up for this tear as much as possible. In addition, this tactic maximizes the role and characteristics of Kaka. The Brazilian superstar This season has played extremely bravely, so there is AC Milan's success.
But Parma doesn't have such a star in charge!
Gao Shen is full of confidence, but he is still very cautious in preparing for the battle.
For example, for the start of the game, Gao Shen prepared a variety of different possibilities, including whether Parma will adopt aggressive tactics? Or choose to stick to it from the beginning? Or is it mediocre?
Although it is a defensive counterattack, many times they will try to grab a wave at the beginning. The purpose is not necessarily to score goals, but to disrupt the opponent's game rhythm and test the opponent so that they can facilitate their next game.
Gao Shen himself often plays like this, so he is naturally worried, will Pioli do the same thing?
Honest man?
As an opponent, the most honest and honest person is to be submissive.
Want to fight back?
This is dishonest.
And Gao Shen happens to belong to the kind of good person who likes to "help" honest people reshape their outlook on life.
...
Time passed while Gao Shen and Naples were preparing for the battle.
On November 8th, the Coppa Italia was long overdue.
Pioli led the team south to visit the San Paolo Stadium in Naples.
Before the game, after Gao Shen got Parma's starting lineup, he couldn't help laughing immediately.
Sure enough, it was four three two one.
Pioli did not disappoint Gao Shen.
"He is such a good man!" Gao Shen praised very sincerely in front of the coaching staff.
"I like him!"
Everyone barely raised their middle fingers in front of them, but they all smiled unkindly.
