Two Hundred and Sixty: The Great Demon King VS God's Bastard

Gao Shen feels that he should be at the stage of [the ogre king marches towards Glass] now.

This can be seen from the reports in the Italian media the day after the pizza was played.

Not many people were really analyzing and researching this game, and most of the media were actually creating a kind of panic, a kind of suspense, that is, Gao Shen, the man-eating monster, finally killed Serie A after landing in Naples.

The 8-0 victory over Cesena, the 3-0 victory over Pisa, and the two Coppa Italia victories allowed Naples to win a lot of attention before the season, and also won a lot of appreciation in the circle.

Sacchi commented in the column that Gao Shen’s adjustment in the second half was crucial in Naples’ three-goal victory over Pisa. I also saw the strength of Naples' bench lineup.

"When I was technical director at Real Madrid, I knew Callejon, I heard Parejo's name, these two players are the best of Real Madrid's youth academy, and they are in the advanced team. It was a great game."

Sacchi was particularly impressed by Parejo's cross.

"It was an imaginative pass and it was completely different from what Napoli used to do."

Sacchi believes that from this attack, it can be seen that Gao Shen spent his hard work on Naples, especially players like Parejo, which brought more creativity to Naples' frontcourt offense.

But the Italian media is still hyping up [Gao Shen Fear], they even describe Gao Shen as the Voldemort of Italian football, the one who cannot be mentioned.

"Their styles are very aggressive, and they all choose to use their strength to quickly suppress their opponents."

But to a certain extent, this is an indirect acknowledgment that Gao Shen is subverting the tactical system that Italian football is proud of, and even breaking the Italians' blind confidence in themselves.

And the panic that the media wants to exaggerate and create comes from this.

What is Italian football to do when their proudest tactics start to fall behind?

Gao Shen, he is just an outsider, an outsider who just wants to use Serie A as a platform to improve himself, prove himself, and get results. He doesn't care what you do with Italian football at all.

It doesn't matter to Gao Shen to break all of this, as long as he leads Naples to success.

But can the Italians do this?

Gazzetta dello Sport expressed such a point of view,

Even if Gao Shen really succeeds in Naples, it will not have much positive significance for Italian football, because Naples is an international team.

"Every league is rooted in the country and culture behind it, and so is Serie A, which Gao Shen and Napoli cannot understand!"

But Sacchi objected to this statement in the column. He agreed that Gao Shen and Naples are both international columns, but isn't it the same for teams such as Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan?

Behind this is the sluggishness of the Italian youth training. It is unfair to impose these on a young coach and a young team.

"I have always advocated and appealed, but what I really want to say is that Gao Shen and Naples are like a window. He can let us see clearly the current technical and tactical development trend of European football and the future direction."

Sacchi believes that the Italian media and fans are suspected of demonizing Gao Shen and Naples.

"This is because Naples is not strong enough!"

It can be said that Sacchi said everything in one sentence.

Gao Shen himself is also looking forward to it, [His Majesty the Supreme Emperor will arrive in his loyal Paris today], it must be very interesting!

...

There was a lot of discussion in the media outside, but in Fort Volturno, everyone had no time to pay attention to it.

The consecutive week of double matches made everyone in Naples go up and down.

After playing Pisa, the team returned to Naples overnight and began recovery training the next morning.

Afterwards, the coaching staff began to prepare for the next game.

The time is very tight, and there is no time to arrange targeted training at all.

After presiding over the recovery training, the coaching staff returned to the office and held a preparatory meeting to study the opponent for the next game, Cagliari.

This team is very interesting. It was a relegation team in Serie A last season. It is very dangerous. It is only one point more than the relegation zone, but its strength is not weak. Suazo, who transferred to Inter Milan at a high price this season, comes from this team. teams.

The head coach was Marco Giampaolo, who had just turned forty.

Before that, Gao Shen had the deepest impression of him as the future head coach of AC Milan, but his coaching performance was nothing.

But it turns out that what fans can see is always just the tip of the iceberg.

All those who can become the head coach of a wealthy team are often not easy.

For example, this Marco Giampaolo, he is a unique magical young coach in Italian football.

He is only 40 years old this year, and he has nothing to say about his football career. He retired at the age of 30, and then began to play in teams such as Pescara and Treviso, all as assistants.

What's interesting is, I don't know if it's because he's a scumbag or for some other reason, but this guy hasn't been able to get his coaching certificate for a long time.

In November 2003, he followed the Argentine coach Aldo Amazaroso to coach Ascoli and was also an assistant coach. In the summer of 2004, he replaced Amazaroso and became the then Head coach of Ascoli in Serie B.

Here comes the problem, this scumbag student doesn't even have a coaching certificate at this time, what should he do?

Therefore, the scout Massimo Silva was pushed to the front desk and made him the team's head coach. Giampaolo continued to be his assistant coach, but in fact, he was the team's head coach.

What is even more unexpected is that in the first season of coaching Ascoli, the team won the seventh place in Serie B, but due to the tight points, Perugia ranked third and Torino ranked fourth. The points are the same, and the gap with the next few teams cannot be widened, so an upgrade play-off was held, and Ascoli was among them.

However, Ascoli was double-killed by Turin in two rounds and was eliminated early.

In other words, when God opens up for a person, nothing is impossible.

In the summer of 2005, there was a big problem when Serie B was promoted to Serie A.

First, Genoa, which won the championship, was suspected of match-fixing and was directly punished heavily. They were ordered to be relegated to the third division and were fined three points.

Then came fourth in Serie B, but Turin, who won the promotion play-offs, had no money, because they had no funds to complete Serie A registration, and were directly sent back to Serie B.

If that's the case, then it's fine, it's not Ascoli's turn, right?

My dear readers, you are still too young.

God is an asshole, can he make such an oversight?

As a result, Serie B ranked third, and Perugia, who won the second place in the promotion play-offs, also unfortunately had no money. They also had no money to complete Serie A registration, and they were also ruled by the Italian Football Association to stay in Serie B.

In this way, a team that could not have appeared in Serie A at all, Ascoli, miraculously appeared in Serie A after several hacks and changes of fate by the hand of God.

Chen Aiting's football novels don't dare to write like this, do they?

But my simple readers, do you think this is the end?

Look, still young.

Ascoli, a team that has been played by God, won the twelfth place in Serie A under the leadership of Giampaolo in the first season when it was promoted to Serie A. Not only did it successfully avoid relegation, Giampaolo was also famous Noisy, and moved to Cagliari in 2006.

This proved to be such a wise decision, because Ascoli was defeated by Naples coached by Gao Shen last season, and then he has been firmly in the relegation zone of the Serie A standings. He did not have the outstanding performance of the previous season and ended the season smoothly. successfully downgraded.

On the contrary, Cagliari first fired Giampaolo in December and invited Frank Colomba. Unexpectedly, Colomba was not as good as Giampaolo, so he fired Colomba in February. Please come back Giampaolo.

Then, Giampaolo successfully led the team to avoid relegation, and only then did they meet the advanced Naples in the first round of this season.

...

Miraculous head coaches are not uncommon, and talented young coaches are not uncommon, but such a miraculous resume like Giampaolo is really unique. This is no longer the configuration of a male protagonist in an online novel. The illegitimate child of the world.

Not only Gao Shen, but everyone in the coaching staff was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

But reality is often stranger than fiction.

Of course, it is certain to say whether Giampaolo has the strength. He can lead Ascoli to the 12th place in Serie A, which is enough to prove that he is a capable head coach.

Cagliari only scored 35 goals in Serie A last season, ranking first in Serie A, only eight more than Torino, but their defense was very good, conceding only 46 goals, ranking eighth in Serie A.

Among the forty-six goals, the thirteen goals conceded in the eight rounds coached by Colomba were also included.

If you put aside the goals conceded during Colomba's coaching period, Cagliari was one of the best defensive teams in Serie A during Giampaolo's coaching period. This is the main reason why Cagliari's management later invited Giampaolo back .

This season, Cagliari sent away attackers such as Suazo, Langella and Esposito, and introduced young players such as Larivi, Matri and Acquafresca, which made Cagliari The offensive combination of the team has changed, but the most important thing for the team is defense.

The line of defense built by Giampaolo has not undergone any adjustments this summer, while the midfielder has introduced the relegated Ascoli midfielder Fini through free transfers, and Foggia was loaned from Lazio. Both players were Giampaolo's favorites at Ascoli.

It can be seen that Cagliari still wants to do something this season.

What Gao Shen can almost be sure of is that this team will still focus on defense.

Therefore, in the first round of the season between Naples and Cagliari, the key must be how to break through the opponent's defense.
