Two Hundred and Seventy-Five Come, Let's Attack!
A black Fiat slowly parked at the door of Gaoshen's house on the hillside in the Naples Bay area.
"I'm leaving, go back and be careful."
Gao Shen waved his hand to Carlo who was in the driver's seat, and opened the door to get out of the car.
"High." Carlo hesitated and shouted.
Gao Shen turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself, you've done enough." Carlo advised.
Hearing this, Gao Shen laughed, and waved his hand smartly, "I know, but it can be better!"
Carlo hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.
After getting out of the car, Gao Shen watched Carlo drive away, the smile on his face gradually faded.
Last night, Naples drew with Genoa at home. The team suffered a big blow. After resuming training this morning, Gao Shen announced a day off to let everyone have a good rest and return to the team for training tomorrow afternoon.
He himself took the coaching staff out for a meal.
What everyone said to him the most was basically Carlo's words, so that he should not put too much pressure on him.
But how can there be no pressure?
A week later, Naples will face Inter Milan!
To put it bluntly, this is the only team in Serie A that has the strength to hit the Champions League.
Gao Shen is not the kind of stunned youth. He played in the Champions League when he coached Real Madrid, so he knows how difficult and challenging it is to play in the Champions League. It is an all-round test for any team.
Not to mention Naples and Juventus, even Rome, or even AC Milan, which just won the Champions League, does not have this strength.
Only Inter Milan!
In fact, if you carefully analyze the process of AC Milan winning the Champions League last season, you can find that this championship is really dangerous.
From the beginning of the group stage, the Rossoneri have been stumbling. Facing Lille, Anderlecht and other teams, they did not get much advantage. They even almost fell at the feet of Celtic in the knockout round of 16.
After entering the quarterfinals, Kaka ushered in an explosion.
Behind is a group of old players defending,
The front is relying on Kaka to advance. It can be said that Ancelotti's Christmas tree formation has fully utilized Kaka's advantages and characteristics.
But in terms of the overall strength of the team, it is not as good as in 2005!
This is true for AC Milan, let alone Rome.
The overall strength of Inter Milan is absolutely superior in Serie A. Even against other strong teams in Europe, Inter Milan's strength is not inferior. The biggest weakness lies in the head coach.
Mancini, the head coach, has the ability and charisma, but it is not enough to support a Champions League.
As Gao Shen said before, he has become the biggest shortcoming of Inter Milan.
As a Serie A team, especially a team that has just been kicked off the Serie A leader's throne, how can Naples face Inter Milan without pressure?
...
After returning home, taking a shower, and going to bed, Gao Shen entered the tactical library.
After crossing, he reads in the library almost every night.
Tonight, he found Ferguson's book again and read it carefully.
Some people say that in the face of the particularly demanding job of a professional head coach, all head coaches will be influenced by the predecessors they admire, and they will all have their own benchmarks in their hearts.
For example, Ancelotti mentioned to Gao Shen more than once that his benchmark is Liedholm.
England coach Keegan has also repeatedly emphasized that he has benefited a lot from Shankly and Paisley.
And if Gao Shen wants to find a benchmark for himself, there is basically only one, Ferguson!
Many people say for a while that Gao Shen is like Benitez, and for a while they say that Gao Shen is Capelloism, and now some people say that Gao Shen's offensive football is like Bielsa...
Anyway, there are many different theories,
But only Gao Shen knows in his heart that he has been learning, learning the strengths of others and making up for his own shortcomings, and this is actually learned from Ferguson.
Anyone who has come into contact with Ferguson knows that he is a head coach with a solid reserve of football knowledge, and he is willing to share his experience and knowledge with others.
The current Ligue 1 Bordeaux head coach and former French national team captain Laurent Blanc said that he has traveled to Scotland many times to participate in Ferguson's coaching seminars.
At this kind of meeting, you can see many famous coaches from all over the world, such as Everton's head coach Moyes, and even the French coach Houllier who once led Liverpool to five championships. They all came to Ferguson of.
Ferguson always unreservedly expounds some of his coaching experience.
"A lot of what he said casually is common sense to him. To us, it is a valuable wealth summed up by combining theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Everyone will record it very carefully and study it carefully."
Although Gao Shen didn't go to Scotland to participate in the seminar, he read it in the tactical library, and he read it more than anyone else.
Right now, for example, he is reading an article by Ferguson on club culture and the personality of the head coach.
Ferguson feels that he is not a leader in the traditional sense, he is more like a shaper.
"I think time has given me the opportunity to influence the beliefs of others and give them confidence. My confidence and personality have infected them. I often feel that my team can reflect my own shadow and personality, and this That individuality is exactly what I've been looking for in my life."
Gao Shen repeatedly chewed some of Ferguson's words in the article, among which this sentence impressed him the most and touched him the most.
At the beginning, he saw this text and decided to create a team of his own, engraved his own brand, and instilled his own personality, so he came to Naples.
Whenever he is faced with a difficult decision, he will take out this text and chew it over and over again.
Gradually, he was able to find his original intention from it.
...
"I'm going to fight a hard, hard battle, in a way that I'm not sure about, but in a more dignified way."
The next morning, Gao Shen sat in front of the computer and wrote such a sentence in his private space.
Then, he does nothing and waits.
About ten minutes later, there was an additional message below:
For those who have self-confidence and don't mind temporary success or failure, there is no such thing as failure!
There is no such thing as failure for those with an indomitable and firm will!
Let go of others, but he still insists; others retreat, but he is still forward, there is no such thing as failure!
There is no such thing as a failure for a person who stands up immediately every time he falls, and jumps higher like a ball every time he falls.
Seeing Gao Shen, his eyes were slightly red, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Thanks!
he replied.
You're welcome!
She also responded quickly.
…………
…………
"Everyone!"
In the training center of Fort Volturno, Gao Shen quickly walked into the coach's office and shouted loudly.
Everyone's attention was immediately attracted to him.
"I decided to fight a very difficult and bitter battle, but we must fight, and we must fight a good fight!"
Hearing this, everyone in the coach's office suddenly became serious.
They all knew that Gao Shen had already made a decision.
This is not an easy decision, and it may even be a decision that he regrets.
"I know that Inter Milan is currently the strongest team in Italian football, not one of them; I also know that for now, we don't have much chance of winning against Inter Milan; I know even more that in Meazza Stadium, they are waiting for us, they want to fight us to death, with a victory to establish their position as the league leaders."
This is the situation Gao Shen is facing now.
"But we have no choice!" Gao Shen said firmly.
"This is a team that I and everyone put so much effort into. I don't want our team, our group of players, to always have fear in our hearts. I want all of us to have firm belief. When the strength is not as good as the opponent, and the situation is not as good as the opponent, we must not be afraid, we must not be afraid, but we must bravely wave our fists!"
"I want to fight against Inter Milan!" Gao Shen shouted out his decision forcefully, with an extremely firm tone.
This is a very bold, but also very risky decision.
Because the strength of Naples is indeed not as good as that of Inter Milan, and the situation is not as good as that of Inter Milan. If you want to win, you can only rely on hard work!
"I know that the zero-to-three game last season not only caused immeasurable harm to me, but also to everyone and our team. At this moment, you must be the same as me, and you can't help thinking What if it's another zero-to-three match? Even, will it be a score worse than zero-to-three?"
"Really, I am very worried, I have always been worried, and even the biggest problem that bothers me has never been whether to play against Inter Milan, but I am afraid that there will be another zero-to-three, or even more than zero-to-three. Miserable defeat!"
Since Gao Shen's debut, he has never lost a game, worse than zero to three.
So he will be afraid, which is human nature.
Who is not afraid?
In 2009 and 2011, Ferguson's Manchester United faced Barcelona twice in the Champions League final. He knew before the game that his team would basically be unable to beat the opponent, but he still chose his own personality and chose to play against Barcelona , rather than a more confident defense and counterattack!
Wasn't Ferguson afraid at that time?
Gao Shen is absolutely unbelievable.
And Guardiola, why did he listen to the opinions of the players before the Champions League semi-final match between Bayern and Real Madrid in 2014 and let them follow their own heart to attack? The result was a zero-to-four loss at the Allianz Arena?
Weakness is more terrible than failure!
"There are two ways to meet suffering, one is to be completely defeated, and the other is to become stronger!"
The deep voice floated in the coach's office and rang in the hearts of every coach.
"I want to use a confrontation to tell Inter Milan and the whole world that we were not knocked down by that zero-to-three match."
"Even if we have experienced a zero-to-three defeat, even if we know that we may still lose, or even lose badly, we still have to bravely shake our fists, because we are not afraid!"
"We are not afraid of losing! We are not afraid of Inter Milan!"
