301 The Secret of Winning the Champions League

What Gao Shen wants to do is a very bold thing. It can be said that no one has done it in Italy or even the top European leagues. It may not even be thought of.

That is to subvert the current physical training system.

This is the information he has obtained recently based on the situation of the team and various aspects. Especially in November, after being invited to participate in a European sports science seminar, he met many big names in the industry and heard a lot. With whimsy, he had some brand new ideas.

Naples has encountered many problems this season, the first of which is the national team game.

There are more and more players in the national football team and the national youth team, which has caused Naples' current training plan to be cut into pieces.

The two-week national team competition has seriously affected the team's training.

This is not a problem of the Napoli family, it is a problem of all European teams, past, present and future.

So how did they solve it?

That is fragmentation, refinement, and pertinence.

By 2021, physical training can no longer be called physical training, but should be called sports performance.

This is not just a difference in name, but a shift in philosophy.

In other words, training is no longer obsessed with physical fitness, but focuses on the performance of players in the game.

Just like what Lucas and Buenaventura said just now, Gao Shen asked them: Let Naples players perform better than their opponents in terms of sports.

This seems not difficult, but in fact it involves more areas than traditional physical training in the past.

Coaches are required not only to be proficient in various physical training, but also to understand special training, sports science, rehabilitation physiotherapy, technical and tactical training, psychology and nutrition... all of these must be understood, and even be able to sit down with analysts, Study the situation of players and opponents together, and make fine-tuning for each player.

This is definitely a huge system, and it is a brand new concept.

When did this idea start?

Gao Shen is not sure who proposed it, but he heard about it when Guardiola was coaching Bayern.

There is a saying that goes well: the British play long passes,

Spaniards play technology, Italians play tactics, Germans play science.

There must have been many people working in this direction at the same time, but Guardiola was determined to try it at Bayern Munich.

In the summer that Guardiola coached Bayern Munich, Bayern hired a young Italian, Simon Martinello, who was only 28 years old, and this was his first job, a sports coach.

He was Buenaventura's assistant.

Since coaching Bayern, there has been a huge conflict between Guardiola and Bayern doctor Wolfart, because there are huge differences in the way they work, and Guardiola is a well-known control freak .

So, after Guardiola coached for a year, Bayern poached another person from Leverkusen, Holger Broich.

Regarding Broych’s position, there were many different translations in China at that time. Some media said he was a physical therapist, some said he was a therapist, some said he was a physical coach, and some simply said he was a masseur. .

Anyway, that's all.

The purpose of Bayern signing Breuig is to ease the conflict between Guardiola and Wolfart.

Later, various reasons led to intensified conflicts. Although Guardiola's performance at Bayern was quite good, he did not reach the peak that everyone expected of him.

But his set of ideas and concepts were inherited by Bayern Munich and continued to dig deep and improve.

In 2020, Bayern Munich won the Champions League with a perfect record.

This is the only team to win the championship since the restructuring of the Champions League.

Flick's team left a very deep impression on everyone, that is, how the hell Bayern can run!

No major injuries, high-intensity running, running directly from the beginning to the end, almost every player in the team is an iron man who can't die, running one more player per game than the opponent.

How did you do it?

In Flick's coaching team, there are two people.

Responsible for controlling the general direction, responsible for basic physical training such as strength, explosive power, endurance and speed, and keeping players in the best competitive state. Fitness Coach, his name is Simon Martinello.

Responsible for fine-tuning the targeted training of each player, combining sports science, and working with analysts to study each player and the player's opponent in the next game, so that his players can perform more vigorously than their opponents in physical fitness Coach, Coach, his name is Holger Broich.

In addition, there is a strong analysis team behind the Bayern coaching staff.

This is the secret of Bayern Munich winning the Champions League!

...

As a time traveler, Gao Shen was particularly impressed by Bayern Munich that season.

In fact, many teams are already trying to introduce the new position of physical fitness coach, such as Manchester United's Mike Clegg, but it is still in an exploratory stage and is far from mature.

When Guardiola was coaching Barcelona, ​​the coaching staff of the first team had reached more than 30 people at most, which was quite amazing. There is a contradiction.

Now, there are actually many professional fitness coaches working in professional football.

What Gao Shen wants to do now is to introduce such a position to Naples to solve the team's current predicament.

If Buenaventura is solely responsible for the physical fitness of all the players in the first team, the pressure is indeed high, and it cannot meet the current needs of Gao Shen and Naples.

Therefore, Gao Shen wants to expand and reform the coaching staff.

But expansion and reform require money.

"If you have any ideas, you should talk to me directly and honestly. Tell me, has there been one thing I have not supported you in the past year or so? When have I not tried my best to help you? You have to go around like this tell me?"

After the coaching staff meeting, Gao Shen returned to the office, and Marino followed closely, complaining non-stop.

He felt that Gao Shen didn't trust him too much, and it was outrageous to play tricks on him like this!

Gao Shen smiled and said nothing, just sat down on the sofa and warmly greeted Marino to sit down and rest.

"I know, I know, didn't I apologize to you? Besides, I don't trust you, but isn't there someone above you?" Gao Shen pointed to the top of his head.

As long as De Laurentiis's name is mentioned, Marino's heart shudders.

Italian bald men are afraid of two people, their families are afraid of their wives, and clubs are afraid of Germans.

"This is a legitimate and reasonable request of yours, and the German... may not refuse it." Marino said quite confidently.

Who doesn't know that the Duck is notoriously penny-pinching?

Although Marino is the general manager, he has nothing to do with finances.

"So, didn't I find a suitable and legitimate reason for you? After you go back, you should report the truth, report what you saw, and make our difficulties and challenges more serious. Get some budget."

Marino looked at Gao Shen with a smirk, he really suspected that this kid was the nemesis of the German.

"Frankly speaking, the German is really satisfied with the current team's results, very satisfied." Marino laughed.

Gao Shen became depressed, "But I'm not satisfied, very dissatisfied."

After a pause, Gao Shen said again, "You know, we could have beaten Inter Milan at San Siro. We didn't have to play so badly in November and December. Now there are two roads ahead of us. , catch up in the second half, or be content with the status quo, anyway, I choose the former one.”

Marino heard the profound meaning.

Everyone knows that when Gao Shen coached Naples, it was because the two sides had the same ideas and goals. If there are serious differences in goals now, then Gao Shen will definitely think about it.

With his current name, if he leaves Naples, not to mention teams from other leagues, it is estimated that many teams in Serie A will fire their current head coach and hire Gao Shen to coach instead.

It was even heard before that AC Milan is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Ancelotti and intends to poach Gao Shen to coach.

And Juventus, Ranieri's dismissal of get out of class is a matter of minutes.

"How much is the budget for this time?" Marino asked with concern.

Gao Shen clicked his tongue, "Look, we're talking about money again. Anyway, isn't the money all invested in Naples?"

Marino said with a smile on his face, but it also depends on the team.

With the current situation in Naples, it is still very hopeful to keep the top four. In this case, why should De Laurentiis invest this money?

release results?

Who can guarantee that if you invest this money, you will definitely be able to achieve results?

"You have to give me an approximate number so that I can report to the German guy, right?" Marino smiled wryly.

Gao Shen nodded, "A member of the core coaching staff, some training equipment, and an analyst, I made a preliminary estimate myself, 1 million to 1.5 million euros, at most no more than 2 million euros. "

"So much?" Marino's heart skipped a beat.

He knew Gaoshen too well, and he directly ignored the previous figures. He felt that Gaoshen's budget was the following figures.

If you can't overspend, it's pretty good.

"A lot? Think about it, after the equipment is upgraded and the training level is improved, we will definitely be able to compete with Inter Milan for the championship!" Gao Shen said loudly.

"Can you guarantee it?"

"Are you kidding me? Have you ever seen a matchmaker give birth to a son?" Gao Shen asked confidently, "Besides, you also know that our players are young and have great potential, but their current strength is not as good as that of Inter Milan, so we can only rely on training to make up for it." , so no matter what, you have to help me win this budget."

"Anyway, I rely on you!"

Marino smiled wryly, what's the use of relying on me for this kind of thing?

I am not the boss!

If I were the boss, I would approve it for you directly!

But Gao Shen said I don't care, I'll depend on you anyway, which made Marino very speechless.

Woohoo, do honest people deserve to be bullied?
