Two Hundred and Ninety Nine Naples Is Sick!

In fact, there is nothing so-called metaphysics in football.

Every game is a test of the training results of the past period of time.

After playing Juventus, Gao Shen and the coaching staff can clearly feel that the state of Naples players has fluctuated.

The fighting spirit of every player is still very high, but the state is not as exciting as before.

It's clear that Napoli's form is slipping.

The coaching staff is also working hard to adjust the team's training plan, hoping to better help the players.

But I have to admit that even in a professional league, there are still too many uncontrollable factors.

For example, before the season, who would have thought that the Italian Football Association would require Naples to participate in the first two rounds of the Coppa Italia?

Playing these two more games, or playing one game in three days, will have a great impact on Naples' preparation plan for the entire season.

In addition, in September and October, many players were shortlisted for the national team for the first time, and even suffered injuries. This also had a great impact on Naples' entire preparation plan.

It can be said that the team has persisted until now, and it is basically the same.

Gao Shen and the coaching staff have long been mentally prepared for this.

Naples is a group of young players, and the advantage of being young is excellent physical condition, but the disadvantage is lack of experience.

Experience, not only the experience of playing football on the court, but also the experience of dealing with various emergencies, and the experience of coping with various difficulties, such as how to play when the state is not good?

For stars like Ronaldo, Zidane, or some experienced players, this is not a problem at all, but for many young players, they are encountering it for the first time, and this is a big problem .

It's normal.

Just like what happened in our elementary or middle school, things that we thought were bigger than the sky, after a few years, when we grow up and mature, and look back, we will find that it is actually a trivial matter of sesame and mung beans.

But at that time, at that stage, there was a panic of the sky falling.

This requires the work of Gao Shen and the coaching staff.

But manpower is always limited.

Three days after playing Juventus, Naples ushered in the tenth round of Serie A and challenged Fiorentina away.

The head coach of Viola is Cesare Prandelli, the future head coach of the Italian national team. The most famous is that he brought Italy to the European Cup final in 2012. Although he lost to the thriving Spain, but Prandelli also won applause, especially his transformation of the Italian national team was very successful.

Gao Shen admired Prandelli's Italian national team very much, especially when Pirlo was used to play a long diagonal pass. Gao Shen is highly respected for this determination and courage.

However, at the Frankie Stadium in Florence, Viola adopted a defensive counterattack tactic to face Naples with a double midfielder of 4231.

Gao Shen had to rotate in this game because he had just beaten Juventus.

The two sides fought fiercely for 76 minutes. Until the 77th minute, Montolivo sent a wonderful pass. After Mutu broke through the Naples right back Jergi Garrick on the left, the pass was made. In the penalty area, Vieri beat Cannavaro Jr. and Bonucci and scored with a header.

This goal helped Florence seal the victory!

Although Gao Shen immediately made adjustments and launched a crazy attack on Fiorentina, he still failed to pry open Viola's goal.

In the end, Naples ushered in their first defeat in Serie A!

...

Seven wins, two draws and one loss,

This is the answer sheet handed in by Gaoshen in the first ten rounds of his debut season in Serie A.

No matter which league it is in, such a report card is absolutely amazing.

But unfortunately, in Serie A, they encountered a unique Inter Milan team.

Mancini's team beat Genoa four-to-one in the tenth round at San Siro, thanks to goals from Cordoba, Cambiasso, Suazo and Cruz.

This is the gap!

After a large rotation, Inter Milan can still form a star-studded lineup and still be able to steadily suppress opponents.

Naples is still too young after all.

After this round, Naples, which was leading by two points, was finally overtaken by Inter Milan, one point behind, and ranked second in Serie A.

After defeating Genoa, Inter Milan coach Mancini proudly stated that after Inter Milan returns to the top of the list, it will not lose again.

"We will not pay attention to any other opponents, because we have such confidence that in Italy, we will not have any opponents!" Mancini shouted with pride.

This also reflects Mancini's confidence in the current state of Inter Milan.

But soon, he was slapped in the face.

On the weekend, in the eleventh round of Serie A, Inter Milan challenged Juventus away.

After Ranieri's team lost to Naples in the away game, they beat Empoli 3-0 at home, and then set up a tight defensive position at home, waiting for the arrival of Inter Milan.

Although in the 41st minute, Grigera on the right was broken by Inter Milan's left player Cesar and assisted Cruz to score a goal, but in the 77th minute, two players who came off the bench, Ya Quinta assisted Camoranesi to equalize the score.

In the end, Juventus drew tenaciously with Inter Milan 1-1 at home.

At the same time, after Naples suffered a disastrous away game, they returned to the home court and ushered in Ulivieri's Reggina.

The respected veteran of Italian football has seen that Naples has not been in a good state recently, and is happily preparing to come to Naples to pick up a leak, copy the bottom, and once again put on a three-five-two, tight defensive tactic.

Naples' continuous rotation, coupled with the overall sluggish state, did not perform well, gaining momentum on the court without scoring.

However, Gao Shen's team was still very tenacious in suppressing Regina on the scene, and finally in the 89th minute, relying on Sanchez's lore, they beat Regina 1-0.

This goal helped Naples score a valuable three points.

...

With eight wins, two draws and one loss, Naples scored 26 points.

Inter Milan continued to remain unbeaten, with seven wins and four draws, and scored 25 points.

Naples once again overtook the points and climbed to the Serie A leader's position for the third time this season.

This made Mancini furious after the game, denouncing the poor performance of Inter Milan players.

But soon, the performance of Inter Milan confirmed the previous judgment of Gao Shen and the coaching staff.

From the twelfth round, they beat Lazio 3-0 at home, Atlanta 2-1 at home, Fiorentina 2-0 away, Turin 4-0 at home, and Cagliari 2-0 away.

Mancini's team scored five consecutive victories in one breath in November and early December, showing an unbelievably good state, scoring 13 goals in five games, and only conceded a ball.

It can be said that at this stage, Inter Milan can be said to be invincible.

Naples also played quite difficult in these five rounds.

First they drew Palermo 2-2 away, beat Catania 2-0 at home, then drew Atlanta 1-1 away, beat Parma 1-0 at home, and drew Siena 1-1 away .

During the period, there was another Coppa Italia game in which Naples lost 1-2 away to Lazio.

While Inter Milan scored five consecutive victories, Naples only got two wins and three draws in Serie A, which is somewhat overshadowed by comparison.

The most important thing is that in the standings, Inter Milan continues to remain unbeaten with 12 wins and 4 draws, ranking first in Serie A with 40 points.

Naples has ten wins, five draws and one loss, scoring 35 points and ranking second in the Serie A standings.

Roma and Juventus both had nine wins, five draws and two losses, and scored 32 points. Among them, the Bianconeri relied on the advantage of goal difference to suppress Roma, ranking third in Serie A, and the Red Wolves ranked fourth.

After that is Udinese with 28 points and Fiorentina with 25 points.

AC Milan started this season in a rather sluggish start, and has only scored 22 points so far, ranking eighth in Serie A.

Such a result has made it difficult to hope for the Rossoneri's new season.

…………

…………

On the evening of December 22, the seventeenth round of Serie A.

This is also the last game before Christmas. After this game, Serie A will usher in the winter break.

Naples sits at home and still continues the sluggish state of the past period of time. They conceded a goal in the first half, and finally in the 81st minute, with Pellet's assist, Hamsik scored a goal.

Naples suffered a home draw with Turin, one to one, and the two sides shook hands.

Inter Milan ushered in the Milan Derby at home.

After Pirlo scored the first goal for AC Milan, Ibrahimovic assisted Kroos to equalize the score in the 36th minute. After changing sides in the second half, Cambiasso scored another goal for Inter Milan , to reverse the score.

In the end, Inter Milan defeated AC Milan 2-1 and scored three points.

Roma beat Sampdoria 2-0 and Juventus beat Siena 2-0.

Among the top four teams in Serie A, only Naples drew with their opponents.

In this way, before the winter break of Serie A, the situation has become quite clear.

Inter Milan continued to stand alone, with a seven-point advantage to mark the standings.

Naples followed closely. Although there was a trough in November and December and the team was in chaos, they still grabbed a lot of points, seven points behind Inter Milan, but better than Roma and Juventus. Even better, one point ahead of these two teams, ranking second in Serie A.

Roma and Juventus are eight points behind Inter Milan and one behind Napoli, but are six ahead of Udinese who follow and seven ahead of Fiorentina.

After losing the derby in the same city, AC Milan's ranking fell again, only taking the ninth place.

The situation in Serie A is already very clear. At least judging from the current situation, Inter Milan’s dominance in Serie A is almost hard to shake. Naples has become the biggest dark horse in Serie A this season. Come up with better performance.

Especially considering that Juventus and Roma are chasing after them, and they may overtake Naples at any time.

Gao Shen also convened a meeting of the coaching staff the day after defeating Turin.

He is very dissatisfied with the team's recent performance.

Naples is sick!
