Three Hundred and Nineteen Must Win

Facing the Ocean, Spring and Blossom!

Just entered February, the sea breeze is gentle, and the sea view of Naples is really beautiful.

The Posillipo area of ​​Naples is a residential area built on the hills by the coast. The closer it is to the core bay area, the more lively it is.

At this moment, Gao Shen is standing in a villa area on a seaside cliff, with the stormy coast at his feet, the blue Bay of Naples in front of him, and the world-famous Vesuvius on the opposite side.

It is said that when it snows, the view of Mount Vesuvius will be even more beautiful.

Gao Shen couldn't help but think of the mansion in the Hollywood movie "Iron Man". Of course, the villa he is in at this moment cannot be as luxurious as Iron Man, but it has a different view.

Standing by the courtyard and taking a picture of Mount Vesuvius opposite, it is definitely a desktop-level beauty.

...

"To be honest, I've been in Naples for a year and a half, and it's the first time I've stood in such a place, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Bay of Naples so comfortably, and I feel like I can't walk." Carlo said with a smile.

"Move here if you like. I'll be alone. There are so many people that it will be lively." Gao Shen suggested with a smile.

After Carlo glanced at him, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, lest you bring the girl back in the middle of the night, which is inconvenient."

"Yes, Gao." Lucas also came from behind, smiling, with a glass of wine in his hand, "Not far away is a wealthy area with rich nightlife. After you go, there is nothing to do. It is estimated that a lot of beauties will come together on their own initiative, you can change one every night without any problem."

It is said that when Maradona was in Naples, he often ran out for nightlife because it was so convenient.

The house that Gao Shen lived in was not Maradona’s house back then. His house was not far away, with a larger area and more luxurious facilities than this one. But after Maradona left, that house It was bought by a local rich man.

Now, the set where Gao Shen is located was just renovated a few years ago. The area is smaller and there is not even a swimming pool, but the facilities and decoration are more modern and advanced, which suits Gao Shen's taste.

The house was picked by De Laurentiis, and Naples was responsible for the rent and various expenses. Housekeeping and servants would be arranged from a nearby high-end hotel, and even Gao Shen could call the hotel at any time to order meals and services Not to mention how wonderful it is.

It is equivalent to saying that Gao Shen can just carry his bags and move in without worrying about anything else.

The reason why Naples gave such preferential treatment,

Of course not without reason.

First of all, Gao Shen's coaching performance is good, and Naples wants to renew the contract. This house is part of sincerity.

In addition, De Laurentiis hopes that Gao Shen can continue to work hard and lead Naples to better results.

In his words, this is to let Gao Shen have no worries.

The blue sea, the blue sky, and the beautiful volcano on the opposite side, the beautiful scenery in the painting, of course Gao Shen will not refuse.

Anyone who has been in the workplace knows that at this time, Gao Shen must not be polite. Refusing De Laurentiis' kindness is actually equivalent to telling Naples that he has no intention of renewing the contract.

De Laurentiis estimated that the search for a new head coach would start the next day.

But Gao Shen didn't want to renew the contract just like this, so he chose to temporarily put aside the contract renewal negotiations, and the reason was very good. He didn't have an agent, and he had to handle everything by himself, but he was very busy now, and he really couldn't spare time to deal with these things. Things, so the matter of contract renewal will not be discussed until the end of the season.

However, Gao Shen accepted the house.

After packing up for a few days, he packed his bags and moved in.

After playing Udinese, the team happened to have a holiday. Gao Shen invited all the team members to his new home for dinner. After all, he has not invited players to his home since he became the head coach of Naples. Pass.

As soon as De Laurentiis and Marino heard about it, they immediately waved their hands and ordered takeaway from the hotel. The expenses were reimbursed by Naples, which was rare and generous.

...

After admiring the beautiful scenery of Gaoshen's new home for a while, everyone got together and naturally discussed the league and football.

Sacchi basically expressed his thoughts and ideas in the column, so the twenty-sixth round was praised by Gao Shen as the top of Serie A, because this game will determine the trend of Naples and Inter Milan.

Inter Milan will pass if they keep a draw, but Naples must win!

Just like when coaching Real Madrid to play Barcelona, ​​it is not just three points, but related to morale, confidence and fighting spirit.

After winning this game, one ebb and flow, Naples can be regarded as the real final attack on Inter Milan.

If you can't score these three points, Gao Shen can only give up.

The advantage of Inter Milan is their strong strength and lineup, but there are also disadvantages.

The first is status.

Mancini's team ushered in its peak state in November and December last year, and it will inevitably decline during the winter break. The performance in the recent period is not ideal. As for how much adjustment can be made by the end of February, it is not clear. Know.

There is also a race schedule.

After the winter break, there will be a week of consecutive double matches, and at the end of February will be the two rounds of the Champions League round of sixteen knockout matches.

Gu Yu

Roma's opponent is Real Madrid, and Inter Milan's opponent is Liverpool.

After Gao Shen won the double crown, Real Madrid stopped at the top 16 last season, but even so, the pressure on Roma is still very high, and Inter Milan faced Liverpool, which was the runner-up of the Champions League last season.

However, it is impossible for Mancini to ignore the Champions League.

To put it a bit exaggerated, the Serie A champions are originally the ban of Inter Milan. Looking at the entire Serie A league, who can challenge the status of Inter Milan?

So winning the Serie A championship is a matter of course.

However, Mancini has performed very badly in the Champions League in recent years. First, he stopped in the quarter-finals in a row. Last season, he was eliminated by Valencia in the quarter-finals. Go all out to hit the quarterfinals and even the championship.

This is the real test for Mancini.

Therefore, Inter Milan will not give up the Champions League.

According to the usual practice, Inter Milan is the first in the group, first away and then host. The second round is against Liverpool at home, but before this game, Inter Milan will challenge Naples away.

Before the match against Naples, Serie A had two matches a week. Inter Milan's opponent in the twenty-fifth round was a home game against Roma, and the opponent in the twenty-fourth round was an away game against Sampdoria, and the first round of the Champions League round of 16 was ahead. Contest.

It can be said that this time Naples really took advantage of the schedule.

Gao Shen is also determined to win Inter Milan at home and shorten the points gap.

...

"We Chinese say that wars must be won, and we pay attention to the timing, location, and harmony of people."

During the dinner party, the atmosphere was particularly strong, and when it was about the same time, Gao Shen also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

"Now, judging from the schedule, we have the right time. As long as we are in the next four league games, we are firmly on Inter Milan in the standings, and the time is on our side."

"In the twenty-sixth round, we are playing at home. The location is on our side. Moreover, we have more than 50,000 Naples fans and the entire city behind us. The location is definitely on our side."

After hearing Gao Shen's words, everyone nodded in unison.

Of the three major winning conditions, Naples has already got two.

"The last is harmony, which is also the most important thing, and it depends on you, everyone here, we need to work together to show the best performance, and strive to maintain at least the current seven before the match against Inter Milan. divide the gap."

The difference is seven points. As long as the home team wins, it will be shortened to four points.

With 12 rounds left in the league, four points is no longer an insurmountable gap.

More importantly, with the help of the momentum of winning Inter Milan at home, Naples can completely overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum, and then put huge pressure on Inter Milan.

"But I want to remind everyone that this is a long game, a difficult challenge, not only for our opponents, but also for us, because it requires us to fight every game we have left. Do your best and show your best form!"

When Gao Shen said this, he paused for a while, looking at the players and coaches in front of him, each of them was selected and recruited by Gao Shen himself, and they were all his most trusted people.

"In the seventh round, we regret that we failed to beat Inter Milan in the away game. I don't want to pursue responsibility. It is meaningless. I just want to remind everyone that that game is the best warning for us."

"Inter are not underdogs, this is a team capable of winning the Champions League, and if, I mean if, guys, if we can beat Inter at home, we can win this long season, After going through all kinds of tests, we reversed Inter Milan and won the championship..."

When Gao Shen spoke at the end, his hands were clenched into fists with excitement.

Everyone at the scene was as excited as he was, many of them even clenched their teeth, and their breathing became rough and short.

"Then I can tell you with certainty that we will appear in the UEFA Champions League next season. After we beat a team capable of impacting the UEFA Champions League, we are fully capable of impacting all professional players next season." The coveted, most supreme award!"

"Champions League!" Gao Shen shouted through gritted teeth.

Everyone exuded anticipation and longing.

But anyone who plays football, even an amateur player, dreams of the Champions League.

The same is true for this group of players in Naples. They are younger and more fond of dreaming. They will be more passionate, hungrier and full of expectations for the Champions League than those mature players.

Gao Shen once said at the beginning of coaching Naples that Van Gaal's Ajax won the Champions League at an age only a little older than Naples. After more than a year of training, Naples' average age is actually younger, but the overall strength strong.

Especially after this season's Serie A training, everyone began to realize that those names in Serie A that once made them look up to them are actually not that strong.

It's not that these strong Serie A teams are too weak, but that Naples has become stronger!

What about the Champions League?

Is it the same as the strong teams in Serie A?

Gao Shen's current remarks undoubtedly further stimulated the strong desire in the players' hearts.
