Two Hundred and Thirty One Fiasco

The six-to-zero rout of Rome made Naples very excited from top to bottom.

The vibe in the squad was palpable during recovery training the next morning.

Every player is full of energy and full of vigor and vitality.

Gao Shen also brought the second surprise to the players, that is, Zidane promised to stay in Naples for a few more days.

In fact, after retiring, the bald Frenchman has nothing to do. He is bored and spends his days staring at his wife, or taking his children to and from school. For Zidane, who has been used to playing football for many years, it is indeed very important. tough.

Don't doubt it, this is actually the norm.

Many retired stars will have this kind of mentality, so that many veterans will be very resistant before they are about to retire, and even try every means to prolong their careers.

Zidane is very bold in this respect.

Gao Shen told the players that Zidane will stay at the training base every afternoon after the training session to answer the players' confusion and problems while playing football. At the same time, he will prepare a discussion meeting to discuss football matches with Naples players. .

This sudden good news made the Naples players almost go crazy with joy.

That's Zidane!

Being able to get Zidane's hands-on guidance, is this something that many players dare not even think about?

This also made them respect Gao Shen more from the bottom of their hearts, because they all knew that the key reason why Zidane stayed in Naples was because of Gao Shen, otherwise, why didn't he go to Juventus where he played for?

Gao Shen is also very satisfied with the players' reactions.

As the saying goes, live and learn.

In fact, the same is true in football.

Young players should work hard to learn and improve their abilities, including improving their understanding of the game,

The understanding of football, from super geniuses like Zidane, learning their understanding of the sport, their experience in the use of skills, etc., will be of great help to their future growth.

Gao Shen himself has the best experience of this.

Each of the books he saw in the tactical library was of amazing value, and they were the brainchild of famous coaches. Gao Shen benefited a lot from them, and his coaching ability improved rapidly.

Now, he also hopes that his players can benefit from the training of legendary stars such as Zidane and Guardiola.

At noon, the draw for the Coppa Italia semi-finals was held at the headquarters of the Italian Football Association in Rome.

Naples still arranged for general manager Marino to attend the draw.

The four teams that have reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia this season are Naples, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Sampdoria.

The other three are all Serie A teams, needless to say the Milan duo. Sampdoria is currently ranked tenth in Serie A. The overall strength is also good, but slightly inferior to Roma.

For Naples, the best result of the draw is of course Sampdoria. In this case, the team is more likely to reach the final, followed by AC Milan, and the worst is Inter Milan. .

But things in the world are so weird.

The team you least want to meet, he just let you meet.

Naples' opponent in the semi-finals was precisely Inter Milan. When he learned that Inter Milan had been drawn, Gao Shen was with the coaching staff, all showing bitter expressions.

I have to say that Inter Milan this season is really too strong!

Since the Calciopoli incident, the Nerazzurri have been the only team in Serie A.

Not to mention anything else, just focus on that lineup, which is unbelievably extravagant.

The goalkeeper is Cesar. Although he has not been canonized yet, his strength should not be underestimated. He is definitely the top goalkeeper in the world.

There are Samuel, Materazzi, Cordoba, Burdisso, Maicon, Zanetti, Maxwell and Grosso on the defense line, all of which are world-class stars.

The midfielders are Vieira, Cambiasso, Stankovic, Solari and Figo, all of whom are world-class players.

Not to mention the striker lineup, which can be called the most extravagant striker lineup in the world, gathering Ibrahimovic, Adriano, Crespo, Cruz, Recoba, all top stars.

It can be said that only looking at the lineup, Inter Milan's lineup is even stronger than Capello's Juventus last season.

The head coach Mancini is also good, and he has proved his coaching ability as early as in Lazio.

Facing such a team, Naples is really bad luck.

So much so that after learning the result of the draw, Naples' coaching staff all showed a pessimistic look.

"Okay, cheer up, don't frown!" After seeing the changes in the expressions of the assistants, Gao Shen said,

Encouraged loudly.

"We can lose 1-2 in the away game and beat Roma 6-0 at home, then we have the same chance to beat Inter Milan in the semi-finals and reach the final of the Coppa Italia!"

The assistants all felt the high fighting spirit in Gao Shen.

Who said no?

Naples had just beaten Roma 6-0 at home. Even if they met Inter Milan, what was there to worry about?

Can you beat Roma, but you can't beat Inter Milan?

Thinking of this, everyone also adjusted.

In the afternoon, after the lunch break and before the training session, Zidane organized a seminar in Castel Volturno.

Gao Shen and all members of the coaching staff attended the meeting.

Because there was not much preparation in advance, Zidane did not follow the traditional teaching method, but asked the players to ask questions, and then he answered them, which not only made the interaction full of fun, but also made the atmosphere more active . .

The players also cherished this rare opportunity very much, and asked all kinds of questions, all kinds of weird questions came out, and some players even asked Zidane, did he enter the pitch with his left foot first? Or step right foot first?

Zidane is also very interested in this kind of interaction, and tries to answer the questions raised by the players.

Naples has a very good characteristic, that is vitality.

A group of young players in their twenties, coupled with advanced humanized management, made the atmosphere in the team really active, which naturally infected Zidane, and the French superstar was also affected.

After a discussion meeting, there was still some unfinished business, and the two sides made an appointment to continue tomorrow.

After the training session in the afternoon, Zidane also left the field as scheduled and personally instructed the Naples players.

For example, he taught offensive players how to shoot, how to pass, and even how to kick free kicks.

At the level of Zidane's superstars, the control over football can be said to be extremely good. They are all kinds of skills at their fingertips, and they use them with ease, which is amazing.

When it comes to excitement, Zidane always kicks himself directly.

When it was exciting, the players all applauded and applauded.

"If he hadn't retired, he would still be the main player in any team in the world!" Carlo said rather sighingly.

Gao Shen didn't doubt this, but after seeing Carlo's expression and tone, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't think too much,

None of this has anything to do with you. "

Zidane's retirement has indeed a lot to do with Real Madrid's sluggish performance this season. Although there has been considerable improvement in the second half of the season, after the decision to retire was made, he did not take it back.

But in a way, Zidane is a smart guy.

This is true whether it was playing football before or coaching later.

Because he knows how to advance and retreat.

If, after last season's double and this summer's World Cup runner-up, he returns to football, everyone will cheer for him, Real Madrid will still welcome him, and even other teams will want him, but after that?

To be old is to be old, no matter how one maintains one's condition, one is still old.

Zidane is now retired. With Real Madrid's double crown and World Cup runner-up, he can be regarded as a rapid retreat, leaving his best side in the memory of the fans, which is better than anything else.

Continue to stay and let the whole world see the joke of his aging?

Let those young people step on his shoulders?

To be as smart as Zidane is to know when to advance and when to retreat.

…

The draw drew Inter Milan, which put tremendous pressure on Naples.

From the day of the draw, Gao Shen concentrated all the energy of the whole team on preparing for the first round. He was a guest at the Meazza Stadium. In the game against Inter Milan, he studied Inter Milan's tactics and game videos almost day and night, trying to find out who the opponent was. weaknesses and weaknesses.

On the weekend, in the twentieth round of Serie B, Naples drew with Lecce 1-1 away.

In order to prepare for the cup match, Gao Shen almost played Lecce with a full substitute lineup, but was tied by the opponent at home.

This is also impossible.

Naples' lineup is actually not rich, and Gao Shen must gather the best players to prepare for Inter Milan.

After playing Lecce, Naples made careful adjustments in Castel Volturno for two days before going north to Milan.

On the evening of January 24th, at the Meazza Stadium in Milan.

In the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final, Naples challenged Inter Milan away.

As the dark horse of this season's Coppa Italia, after beating Roma 6-0 at home, Naples has won all the applause. Numerous Italian media have called on Inter Milan to stop Naples.

In any case, Gao Shen cannot be allowed to lead his team to the last laugh, otherwise, it will be a disaster for Italian football.

Mancini didn't talk too much, and he didn't say much before the game, but he gave his best in the game.

Goalkeeper Cesar, defense Maxwell, Samuel, Materazzi and Maicon, midfielders Solari, Cambiasso, Vieira and Figo, double striker Ibra Simovic and Crespo.

Inter Milan can be said to be the main force, and they play in a four-four-two double forward formation.

With the combination of Solari and Maxwell on the left, and Ibrahimovic's suppression of the right center back Cannavaro Jr., Naples' right was completely blown away.

In the 11th and 24th minutes of the first half, Inter Milan scored two consecutive goals, scored by Solari and Crespo.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Vieira scored another goal in the 56th minute, extending the score to 3-0.

In the face of the absolute strength of Inter Milan, despite Gao Shen's efforts before the game, he still couldn't change the situation.

Gao Shen also suffered the worst defeat since coaching Real Madrid.

From coaching Real Madrid
