Two Hundred and Ninety-Nine, This Record Is Too Heaven-Defying!
After the first leg of the fourth round of the Coppa Italia, everyone was shocked to find that Serie B was almost wiped out.
AC Milan beat Brescia 4-0 at home, Triestina lost 1-2 at home to Roma, Sampdoria lost 0-1 at home to Palermo...
Only Naples, when facing Parma at home, defeated their opponents 2-0 with two goals in the opening six minutes, and had an overwhelming advantage throughout the game.
To use the report of Gazzetta dello Sport: Naples played another typical advanced offensive football!
Judging from the overall situation of the match between Serie A and Serie B, even the middle and lower reaches of Serie A have a strength advantage when encountering a strong Serie B team. This advantage is also very obvious in the cup match.
This is actually not surprising. If there is no strength gap between Serie A and Serie B, are there still two leagues?
On the contrary, it is like Naples, who can leapfrog consecutive Serie A teams in the cup, is really surprising, especially this game against Parma.
However, some media also raised doubts, that is, Naples' several outstanding performances were all at home.
Against Ascoli, against Juventus, against Parma, all at home.
If you really want to be convincing, you still have to look at the away performance in the second round. .
"After Parma returns to the home court, it is bound to do its best to counterattack in the second round. This is the real test for Naples."
"It will be clear when the time comes how good the high-level team is."
Not only the media reported this, but Parma coach Pioli also said this at the post-match press conference.
Pioli said that his team encountered great difficulties at the San Paolo Stadium, especially at the beginning, playing very passively, but was seized by Naples and scored two goals in a row, which completely changed the game.
"Our opponents are indeed more lucky in their own home court. They took two shots in front and both scored goals."
Pioli said bitterly that he did not intend to shirk responsibility for the team's defense, but it is also true that the opponent's luck is better.
At least, the first two shots scored, which is really too efficient.
For the second round, Pioli expressed his confidence and firmly believed that the team would be able to reverse at home.
in addition,
Pioli also admitted that Naples is really not like a Serie B team, but should be a Serie A team.
"Gao Shen really brought out a team that is very competitive, but at the same time very young and has a very unique style."
So, Pioli is a good guy.
...
Gao Shen also expressed his appreciation for Pioli.
This is also his consistent style, as long as I can win, you are the best.
There's no way, the embarrassment before the game made it so advanced that it's hard to talk ironically now.
It's impossible to say that what I said before the game was all embarrassment and psychological warfare, so don't take it seriously.
Is there anyone in the world who talks like that?
Therefore, Gao Shen continued to brag, and at the same time it was a wake-up call for his players. The fourth round was two rounds, and the second round would be a guest at Parma. This would also be a big challenge for Naples.
The media is not necessarily wrong.
From this season to the present, all the strong dialogues in Naples are basically at home.
The cup draw is really luck. The first three rounds are all at home, and the fourth round is also a host first and then an away.
These are the arrangements of fate.
It is estimated that knowing that Naples has just been reorganized, so it is easy first and then difficult.
At the press conference, the media also asked about a detail, that is Guardiola.
The legendary Barcelona captain has basically not appeared in the mainstream media's field of vision since he left Serie A. The last time there was news was when he joined Qatar, but there was no news afterwards.
Even when he went to Manchester City for trial training, no one knew about it.
Even if he went to Mexico later, no one cared about him, but this time he suddenly appeared in the coaching bench of Naples, which is somewhat surprising.
Gao Shen briefly introduced Guardiola's situation and clarified the news that he is his assistant, but he did not elaborate on his identity. Anyway, he just said it very vaguely, giving people a feeling that he didn't want to talk more.
In fact, happiness blossomed in his heart.
Nima, you finally noticed it!
Hurry up to dig, dig more, sit down, and when Guagua meets me in the future, don’t you have to look up?
But on the surface, Gao Shen is still very calm.
There is no way, the head coach has to play with the personality these days.
The grade itself is young, so how can I do it if I don't keep my focus?
…………
…………
There is a saying in the press: the fewer words, the bigger the matter.
The more Gao Shen didn't want to talk about it, the more curious the media became.
Afterwards, regarding the news about Naples' 2-0 victory over Parma, the media seems to have a standard procedure for how to hype and how to boast. Anyway, it is all the way from the head coach to the players, that's right.
The only thing that is special is that Sacchi praised Gao Shen a few words in the column, thinking that this game is better than that of Juventus, especially at the beginning, the pre-match preparations are in place, which shows that Gao Shen put his heart into it.
A master is a master, and you can tell the clues by watching the game.
At this point, Gao Shen can only give Saki a big compliment.
But it was Guardiola who really pushed Naples to the forefront.
The Italian media took the lead in reporting, and soon attracted the attention of the Spanish media, especially the Catalan media.
I have to say that the way Barcelona treated Guardiola back then was indeed a bit rough, which caused Guardiola almost to have no ball to play, so that he has hardly appeared in Barcelona in public over the years.
But this time, he actually went to Italy, under Gao Shen's command, what's going on?
How about the media?
Soon, the cause and effect were caught out by following the clues.
But this also made the Catalan media very uncomfortable.
Oh, Guagua, you are our Barcelona legend. You went to Mexico to find Lillo and Argentina to find Bielsa, so forget it, right? Now that you have obtained your coaching certificate, instead of doing an internship in our Barcelona, go to Italy to find advanced studies?
Don't you know that Gao Shen has a deep hatred with Barcelona?
But after thinking about it, the Catalan media is really helpless, because Rijkaard couldn't figure out the depth at the peak of last season, and Barcelona's performance this season has dropped sharply. out of control.
Neskens, who replaced Ten Carter, is also a good guy, not a ruthless character like Ten Carter.
But now, everyone knows that Gao Shen is building a team of his own, and the concept is very advanced. It is understandable for Guardiola to learn.
It's as if Bielsa said in an interview with the media in Argentina: He talked with Guardiola a lot about advanced topics.
Lillo also mentioned in Mexico that the advanced Naples is the team he is most interested in now.
You see, no one mentions Barcelona.
Who is to blame?
The Catalan media came to Naples with this complex and contradictory mood, hoping to interview the two parties involved, Gao Shen and Guardiola.
But Gao Shen rejected the interviews with the Catalan media and pushed Guardiola out.
In an interview, Guardiola of course had a good word for Gao Shenshi, how to take care of him and so on.
These are all true facts, and Guardiola didn't add any embellishments, but with his character, being able to say it is the best proof in itself. Gao Shen really took special care of him and taught him everything. Discrimination.
This makes the Catalan media even more uncomfortable.
Praise him, I can't get over it.
Don't brag, I can't get over it in my heart.
Nima, they really want to ask Gao Shen, you are not in La Liga anymore, why do you still give us such a problem?
Guardiola also clarified his relationship with the Barcelona management, saying that when he first got his coaching certificate, Vice Chairman Soriano and Technical Director Begiristan both invited him to work in Barcelona, but he bluntly said declined.
"I hope to get in touch with more advanced and advanced tactical concepts and ideas. In Naples, I have learned a lot from advanced people, not only in football, but also in management, interaction and other aspects."
"I think he's been seriously underestimated."
"I have not personally experienced his coaching at Real Madrid, but I feel that in Naples, he is doing a very difficult but very great thing. I don't know how to say it, but I am very, very looking forward to seeing Naples. Appearing in Serie A, appearing in the Champions League, I think that day will come soon."
Guardiola's remarks really surprised the Catalan media.
They all know Guardiola's character and know that he is not the kind of person who talks nonsense.
When he said that, he must have thought so in his heart.
Could it be that Gao Shen is really that strong?
From Valdano to Sacchi at the earliest, and now even Bielsa and Guardiola are so sought after, what magic does he hide? How can you make these proud and arrogant people in the circle so appreciative?
There is a saying that is true, the appreciation from the opponent is always more convincing.
Originally, Gao Shen just wanted to confirm his "master-student" relationship with Guardiola, but unexpectedly, the Catalan media reported it, which aroused more media interest, especially the Spanish media.
You know, after he left the Real Madrid coach, although many people have disputes about his coaching Serie B, there are indeed fewer and fewer reports.
But now, as soon as Guardiola's incident came out, the Spanish media immediately followed.
Whether it was the media or the fans, it was only at this time that they realized that they had really wronged Gao Shen.
He coached Naples because he really wanted to build a team of his own, and he has indeed been doing this all the time. Otherwise, so many insiders would be blind?
What's so special about high-spirited Naples?
When the media reporters dug in, all the fans who didn't pay attention to Serie B on weekdays were suddenly confused.
So far in the Serie B league, they have won all victories and won ten consecutive victories, ranking first in the list!
Four consecutive victories in the Coppa Italia are in full swing!
This record is too bad!
