Two Hundred and Seventeenth, Fight to the End with Rome!
Entering 80 minutes, the game completely entered the rhythm of Naples.
Gao Shen replaced Di Maria, allowed Gervinho to play on the right, Sanchez was pushed to the front line, and Naples' formation changed into a four-four-two. . .
Hamsik was not in a particularly good state tonight, and was replaced by Gao Shen.
Naples stepped up their offense after the substitution, while Roma chose to stabilize their defense after the substitution.
The combination of Aquilani and Pizarro is a bit weaker in defense, but there is a Perotta in front of him to protect, and Rome's defense is quite solid, blocking Naples' attacks time and time again.
Gao Shen stood on the sidelines, watching and shaking his head.
"It still doesn't work. Our midfield needs to be strengthened, especially the ability to pass threatening balls."
Both Carlo and Guardiola nodded again and again. Naples actually has many problems.
When the situation is opened, Naples' offense is very threatening, but in the real battle, Naples does not have many methods. The reason is that the ability to pass the threatening ball is insufficient.
Hamsik is known as Nedved II. It can be seen that his characteristics have a lot in common with the Czech superstar. Gervinho is a bit unique, and passing assists is not his strong point, and the same is true for Sanchez.
Rakitic and Biglia are strong and capable, and they are good at passing and organizing, but when they really encounter high-intensity intensive defense, the two are still lacking in meaning.
Or it should be said that there is more than enough stability, but not enough creativity.
There is no way.
Just like Real Madrid's golden wolf Guti, his creativity is amazing enough, but the performance of the nerve knife can't be reassuring.
Those players who are really creative and stable, don't even think about Naples at this stage.
Especially in the next season, after the team enters Serie A, there will be more tough battles like this, and the defense will be stronger. Once the game is not open, it seems that now, Gao Shen cannot be helpless.
A player like Dalabona can no longer satisfy Naples.
"Is it possible to recruit De La Reid?" Carlo asked.
After Emerson went to Real Madrid, De La Reid's chances were reduced a lot, but Gao Shen still shook his head.
"De La Reid, Arbeloa, Negredo and Soldado and others,
Let's not think about it, Real Madrid will not let it go, and the players may not be willing to come. "
Gao Shen is indeed very kind to them, but because of this, we can't think that Gao Shen can persuade the players to come.
This is impossible.
Even if the player is willing, they still have an agent, and they are not stupid.
Besides, players must have their own career plans, how can they easily change their minds?
If you want to persuade them to come over, you have to give them conditions that satisfy them and conform to their career plans and interests.
Otherwise, if Gao Shen came forward to persuade him, he would not only lose his relationship with the players, but the relationship would also plummet since then, and he might even become like a passerby.
In his previous life, when he was mixed in the workplace, Gao Shen often encountered such cases.
Favors are things like mutual benefit exchange, you come and go, everyone will be closer, or you don’t use it lightly, you have to use it at a critical moment, or wait for the other party to take the initiative to help, and then give a big thank you.
Some people don't think so, he will feel that I have a relationship with you, and I ask you for help with any trivial matters. It is called intimacy, but in fact it is constantly consuming each other's relationship. When one day, this relationship is broken. He will also scold you secretly behind your back for not remembering your old love and not knowing how to be a human being.
The profound principle is: stay away from this kind of person.
Regardless of whether it is the young players of Real Madrid or superstars such as Zidane and Ronaldo, they often call or contact each other on weekdays, but Gao Shen never shows off and tries to maintain the relationship as much as possible.
Even if one day, he wants to poach Real Madrid players, it will definitely be done through official channels, which is fair and justifiable.
...
The game was tested and attacked again and again in Naples, but it was still unable to find an effective way to break through Rome's defense.
Until the 88th minute, when Vidal was defending Aquilani, he successfully intercepted the ball and quickly passed it to Biglia.
The Argentine midfielder quickly dribbled the ball forward and passed it to Di Maria on the left, who then passed it to Cavani.
The Uruguayan center tried to give the ball to Sanchez in the penalty area, but Qi Wu took the lead to clear the ball.
The ball did not fly far and landed outside the penalty area.
Bigglia moved forward quickly, ahead of Pizarro, stopped the ball and passed it back to the right side of the penalty area.
There was chaos in the penalty area, and Gervinho suddenly rushed into the penalty area without knowing when, in front of the right front of the small penalty area, before Qi Wu, he kicked the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Dhoni was in a daze and could do nothing about the conceded goal.
One to two!
Naples managed to pull a goal back.
...
Gao Shen firmly clenched his fists on the sidelines.
This goal kept Naples' hope of advancing.
The rules of the Coppa Italia knockout match are somewhat similar to those of the Champions League. When the total score of the two rounds is the same, it depends on the number of away goals scored by each other, so this goal is very important.
Roma fans also know the rules very well. After seeing Gervinho's goal, they ran wildly to celebrate, booed and abused non-stop, and many even used racially discriminatory remarks, which made Gao Shen very dissatisfied.
"I'll ask the club to protest later!" Gao Shen said harshly.
Italy is really conservative, so the problem of racial discrimination has always been very serious.
As Saki said, this is the character engraved in the soul.
"With this goal, in the second round, I will let Roma go forever!" Gao Shen said confidently.
Carlo and Guardiola looked at each other.
Is this the way to deal with Rome?
In fact, if Rakitic was there, Naples might have evened the score just now.
Because the team missed a lot of opportunities, and at the same time lacked in organization and passing, the offense was unable to create a threat for a long time, but the advantage on the scene was obvious.
Superb on-the-spot command is the key to Naples' goal.
The main thing is to force Spalletti to replace De Rossi.
The player De Rossi is not stable enough, but his biggest advantage is that he can stand firm and can provide enough protection for the defense, especially the big penalty area, which Pizarro and Aquilani do not have.
So the ball just now was Bigglia who plugged in later, grabbed the spot from the middle, and passed it directly back to the penalty area.
It can be said that this goal came from Spalletti's substitution.
Unfortunately, this is destined to go unnoticed.
Because Naples lost!
...
When the referee Luca Bandy blew the whistle for the end of the game, Gao Shen didn't look unhappy at all. He laughed and greeted his players, hugging and high-fiving them one by one.
"Nice job!"
"Biglia, that was a beautiful pass!"
"Wow, Gervinho, it's a beautiful goal, don't mind the noise!"
Gao Shen hugged the players one by one, and gave them his affirmation and encouragement one by one.
This actually made the players in Naples a little puzzled, did we win?
The Roma players on the side were also very surprised. It was obvious that Roma won 2-1. Why does it feel like Gao Shen is celebrating?
Spalletti also reached out and scratched his bald head, his face full of bewilderment.
This Chinese kid does things so strangely.
So happy to lose!
Thinking about it again, if you win, you must be happier than him, right?
So, Spalletti also cheerfully greeted his players.
...
"What a fantastic game, Mr. Spalletti!"
Gao Shen stretched out his hand and held Spalletti firmly, "But it's a pity that we didn't play well tonight, otherwise, it wouldn't be the current situation."
Spalletti heard the voice of Gao Shen's words, and he felt that Gao Shen was very unconvinced.
"You have performed amazingly enough. It is not easy for a Serie B team to have such strength. I believe that you will be promoted to Serie A this season and even become a dark horse next season."
Dark horse?
Just a dark horse?
Gao Shen can be heard, Spalletti is optimistic about Naples' promotion, and even has an amazing performance in Serie A next season, but it is only amazing.
"Do you know? Mr. Spalletti, in fact, what I said before, to build a Serie A team within three years, is serious."
Spalletti's eyes twitched, what do you mean?
"I have really thought about and studied this matter seriously, and I think it is very feasible, and..."
When Gao Shen said this, he deliberately paused, "Also, the three-year plan I mentioned is actually a conservative estimate."
Spalletti understood that this was provocation.
"Next season, we will appear in Serie A and become a dark horse that no one can believe, but before that, in this season, at the San Paolo next week, I will show you a real Napoli team! "
After finishing speaking, Gao Shen looked for Spalletti and made a farewell gesture.
"See you next week, Mr. Spalletti."
Spalletti stood where he was, watching Gao Shen leave. He really felt the strong confidence of Gao Shen.
But he didn't understand, a newly promoted Serie B horse, of course, is now the leader of Serie B, where does he have the confidence?
Just relying on this group of young people in their twenties, does he really think he can challenge the top Serie A teams?
Tonight is the first game after the winter break, and the state of the Roma players is not ideal, especially Totti. Although he scored a goal, didn't Naples perform worse?
Would Napoli have scored that goal if De Rossi hadn't been substituted?
When Spalletti thought of this, he gritted his teeth secretly.
I hope you can still smile when we meet again next week, Mr. Gao!
...
Gao Shen didn't pay any attention to what Spalletti was thinking, and when he walked back to the coach's bench of the visiting team, he happened to bump into Lucas.
"Fernando, after going back tonight, work hard, work overtime, and analyze the game. In addition, I want the video of this game, make it together, and put it on my desk tomorrow morning."
Lucas nodded quickly, he was already used to Gao Shen's style.
This is to fight Rome to the end!
With Lucas's understanding of advanced, he must have found Rome's Achilles' heel.
