Two Hundred and Fifty-Two, Let Them See What a Miracle Is!

July 2nd, morning.

In the hot summer, before the sun rises, the air can't wait to get hot.

Gao Shen got up early, packed up his things after breakfast, went out and waited at the intersection for less than a minute, then Lucas drove over to pick him up,

Together we go to Castel Volturno.

Today is the big day for the Naples summer training camp!

In fact, as early as yesterday, the players have already reported one after another. They all received physical examinations by Buenaventura and the team doctor at the club.

The result was not too beyond the expectations of the coaching staff, and the situation was not optimistic.

This group of young mischievous monkeys went crazy as soon as they were on vacation, eating, drinking, and having fun, and their bodies naturally exceeded the standard.

But that's also normal.

Those who can persist in training every day during the truce period must be extremely strong willpower and extremely self-disciplined.

Most of them are ordinary people, who let themselves go as soon as they are on vacation.

The coaching staff has long been prepared for this. The crazier they play during the holiday, the more terrible the next training will be.

During the summer training period, Gao Shen will practice three times a day.

...

The coaching staff arrived at Fort Volturno an hour earlier than the players.

Upon arrival, a short meeting was held first.

They have carefully studied the specific training plan before, and have basically determined a set of plans. The next step is to implement them. Adjust in place.

At the same time, it is necessary to lay a solid physical foundation for this season's two-line combat.

In addition, there are several wounded and glass people in the team, such as Thiago Motta, Gao Shen specifically told Buenaventura and the team doctor to pay close attention and report any problems at any time.

"Everyone!"

At the end of the meeting, Gao Shen also stood in front of all the coaches and staff for the final mobilization.

"Last season, we stopped in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia. I am personally very dissatisfied. I think that is not a reflection of our true level, especially the 0-3 loss to Inter Milan. I am deeply impressed by it. Shame!"

"I repeat again, we have only one goal this season and that is the Serie A title!"

"I hope that everyone here can work hard with me and fight side by side. I believe that we can get the championship honor that we couldn't get last season; Definitely be able to win it back!"

The profound words received warm applause from all present.

Whether it is his core coaching team, or the staff and coaches of Fort Volturno, after a season of cooperation, they have all admired Gao Shen.

This was achieved by Gao Shen in the past season, game by game!

The first training session of a new season always has a sense of ritual.

Gao Shen stood at the door of the training ground with the coaching staff early on, watching the players come out of the locker room one after another, talking and laughing all the way, looking very happy.

"Lorenzo, seeing their appearance at this moment, do you feel that you are too cruel?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.

Buenaventura glanced at Gao Shen, and muttered, "It's as if you didn't arrange it."

Everyone was amused.

The training plan was made by Buenaventura, but the specific requirements and arrangements were all ordered by Gao Shen.

So who should take the blame?

"They don't realize yet that they are about to usher in a catastrophe." Carlo couldn't help laughing.

It can only be said that the training plan made by Buenaventura is too ruthless!

"Boss!"

"Good morning, boss!"

"Hello boss!"

Seeing Gao Shen, the players greeted him one after another, shaking hands and hugging Gao Shen one by one.

Gao Shen also behaved very normally, as if he didn't know what to wait, or what would happen in the next month.

Greet players with a smile, shake hands and hug them, give them encouragement and make them happy.

This made Carlo and Buenaventura look at each other and shook their heads.

Gao Shen is too good at dealing with players, and his status in the players' minds is too high.

How high?

Believe it or not?

Looking back, the players trained too hard. Buenaventura was the first to scold, followed by Carlo.

why?

The former is the physical coach, and the latter is the assistant coach, responsible for executing the training.

These two people are not responsible, who is responsible?

head coach?

Gao Shen is in charge of the overall situation. During training, he is always on the sidelines, with his hands on his hips, watching from the sidelines, even saying a few nice words from time to time, and making some decisions that move the players.

Besides, Gao Shen seems to be such a kind and friendly person, how could he do such a thing?

Even if he agreed, it must have been suggested by Carlo and Buenaventura.

Needless to say, the logic of the players is really like this.

Carlo smiled even more wryly in his heart.

Sometimes he even felt that Gao Shen asked himself to be the assistant coach, did he just want to find someone to take the blame for him?

"Everyone!

After everyone arrived, Gao Shen also started the pre-training lecture.

"Welcome to the summer training camp for the future Serie A champions!"

When Gao Shen said this, there was a burst of applause at the scene, and the players booed one after another, especially David Luiz, who almost wanted to dance samba to celebrate on the spot.

Although it has long been known that the atmosphere in the team is very active, many new players are still surprised.

Is this too active?

"Before the end of last season, I told everyone that we have three goals this season. First..."

"Champion!" Many players rushed to shout.

"Second..." Gao Shen showed two fingers with his right hand raised.

"champion!"

"third…"

"Still, shit, champion!"

"Yes!" Gao Shen laughed and praised the players.

"Last season in Serie B, we won the championship as a newly promoted team, and this season, we are promoted again."

"Many people outside said that in the history of Serie A, the best record of a newly promoted horse is fifth, and Del Neri's Chievo has created a miracle, but I think this is too petty."

"Getting fifth is considered a miracle?

The profound rhetorical question made many players nod in unison.

Kaiserslautern won the Bundesliga as a newly promoted team, that would be a miracle!

Greece won the European Cup, that is a miracle!

Is it a miracle to be fifth in Serie A?

"This season, we will show our best performance, let those outside who question us, think we are just a relegation team,

Take a good look, open your eyes and see what a miracle is! "

"What no one has ever done before, we will do it; the championship we lost last season, we will regain it; the game we lost last season,

We want to win back; in the face of more doubts, we must bravely wave our fists! "

"I believe that you will not let me down, the fans in Naples, and you will not let yourself down!"

The players' emotions were immediately mobilized.

Although Gao Shen has repeatedly emphasized that the summer training camp will be very difficult and everyone must be mentally prepared, what are these young people who are already excited about?

They are full of endless energy now, they are all full of energy, and they all want to participate in the competition immediately, to prove themselves, and to win the championship.

Goalkeepers: Handanovic, Gennaro Jezzo, Matteo Gianello.

Defenders: Bonucci, Vargas, David Luiz, Paulo Cannavaro, Lichtsteiner, Dossena, Domic, Gergi Garrick.

Midfielders: Rakitic, Biglia, Vidal, Hamsik, Thiago Motta, Parejo, Nainggolan, Pastore, Montevino.

Forwards: Pellet, Cavani, Sanchez, Callejon, Di Maria, Mertens, Antonio Valencia.

The second team of teenagers trained with the team: Verratti and Insigne.

Gao Shen is very proud to find that the average age of his team is only 21.82, which is not only the youngest team in the entire Serie A, but even among the five major European leagues.

Smaller than the Ajax team that Van Gaal had back then.

If you look at the average age of the starting XI he trusts, it is even only 20.54, which is obviously even more outrageous, because at this age, it is even younger than the second teams of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

But Gao Shen is now leading such a young team and is about to compete in Serie A.

More importantly, he has the confidence to bring this team out.

The outstanding performance last season has proved the strength and potential of this team. What he needs to do now is to further tap their potential, drain all the abilities of the players, and improve the overall strength of this team to A whole new class.

This summer, Naples' overall strength has been strengthened, but so have their opponents.

Juventus spent more than 50 million euros, which is definitely not a joke.

There is also Inter Milan, Qi Wu and Su Yazuo joined the two players, which have further improved the strength of Inter Milan, but it is a pity that they missed Emerson and failed to reorganize the double team of Emerson and Vieira. Lower back combo.

But judging from the cards, Inter Milan's strength is stronger than last season.

The same situation also has AC Milan and Roma, their strength has also improved significantly.

All of this was within Gao Shen's expectations, even in the plan he had submitted to De Laurentiis before.

He is very aware of the challenges and difficulties Naples will face if they want to hit the championship, but he still proposed this goal and tried his best to achieve it.

Because he not only wants to push out the potential and limits of everyone on the team, but also pushes out his own.

He can definitely set a smaller goal, such as the European theater or the Champions League, which is good enough.

Even, this has fully achieved his original promise to De Laurentiis.

But he didn't, but shouted to win the championship.

No matter before time travel or now, he has always believed that people have bad roots.

If you don't push yourself, you will never know how much you can achieve, what kind of things you can do more.

Now that the slogan has been shouted and the goal has been set, he will go all out!
