Three Hundred and Seventy Neapolitan Pills!

Naples' warm-up match was still a mess.

All fans or media who are familiar with Naples will not be surprised by this.

As the No. 1 Tianzi Gao Chuan Saki said in the column, Gao Shen never paid much attention to the warm-up match. This is the stage for him to practice the team, try various tactical routines and teamwork.

"I even heard that he was able to praise the players after the team lost to the Serie C team."

But this did not prevent the Italian media from desperately creating panic about the collapse of Naples.

This is actually quite normal.

The media rely on this method to attract attention. Without these elements, how could fans pay attention during the warm-up match?

But in this way, the media's remarks are often contradictory.

In the words of profound ridicule, "Many newspapers are only suitable for single volumes. After reading them today, they will be forgotten after a while. At best, they are just killing time. This type of newspapers cannot be read in bound volumes, otherwise, you will doubt it. If they have some kind of inherent flaw, then you might develop more empathy for them."

In return, Gao Shen strongly recommended Saki's column.

This shameless guy writes a column every two days, sometimes even every day, until Gao Shen couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

Is writing a column so profitable these days?

Can you make a lot of money with just a few words?

If it's really cool, the head coach of labor and management will stop doing it and write a column directly.

Isn't it the number of words?

Who wouldn't?

But I have to say that compared to those media, Saki's column is still very professional. Gao Shen believes that reading the bound volume of Saki's column can greatly improve readers' football literacy.

More importantly, there is no need to buy a newspaper, just register a twitter account, this guy will refresh his column on twitter on the night the newspaper is published, this is his agreement with the newspaper.

Well, Gao Shen is thinking, as a minority shareholder of Twitter, should I give Saki some money?

This ad is really hard!

...

From mid to late July,

Naples sometimes play once a week, sometimes twice a week, and the warm-up match is played very fast.

The opponents are not picky, sometimes it is Serie C, sometimes it is Serie B, anyway, they are all Italian teams.

This even aroused questions from the Italian media, is Naples really so poor?

Is it so difficult to even go abroad for an away game?

But even if the opponents are Serie B and Serie C teams, Naples' results are not ideal, with ups and downs and instability.

One of Gao Shen's characteristics is that he likes to mess around.

Obviously playing 4231 well, he will suddenly change to 352, or even 361.

Macho's right midfielder in Sampdoria is the best winger in Serie A, but Gao Shen uses him as a right back for a while, pushes him to the right winger for a while, and even tries to let him kick a midfielder.

The same was true for other players, which made Napoli's entire tactics look like a mess.

At least in the eyes of the media and fans, it is really disorganized.

Anyone who is familiar with Gao Shen and Naples knows that this is normal, but most of the fans are not familiar with it. They see the overwhelming criticism from the media, and even blame Gao Shen and his Naples.

There's a Neapolitan pill vibe to it, and it's getting stronger.

But if it is an in-depth study and analysis of advanced personnel arrangements and playing time, it is not difficult to find that there are actually some rules in it, and through the players' constant change of position, they can better understand the situation and thoughts of their teammates.

This is called empathy.

Saki said in the column that Gao Shen is a chicken thief.

"He wants to make the opponent completely confused about what he wants to do."

"Just wait, he and his Naples will still surprise everyone in the new season."

But as soon as Saki finished speaking, many media turned their guns on him.

Spray to death you, the No. 1 blower in the sky!

...

Entering August, the eight international football players who participated in the Olympic Games all left the team and went to the Olympic team to report.

There was a shortage of first-team personnel, and Gao Shen immediately played more wildly.

Vidal and Thiago Mota took turns playing central defenders, and the midfielders were in short supply. Even the fifteen-year-old Verratti could be used.

When a reporter asked, why?

Gao Shen said cheerfully: "I like this player so much!"

Not to mention Insigne.

The result of the wave was that Naples played very easily, but the results of the game were ups and downs. Sometimes they played very excitingly, but sometimes they played so messily that people could not understand it at all.

The media and fans who don't know what's going on outside are anxious.

Nima, the Italian Super Cup is about to start, have you adjusted the team yet?

Take a hammer to smash against Mourinho's Inter Milan?

In contrast, Mourinho's Inter Milan's performance is getting better.

In July, Inter Milan played three warm-up matches.

One was against the Saudi champions and one was against Barry. Both games were won firmly, but the team's performance was not satisfactory.

Later, in the Tim Cup, facing Juventus and AC Milan, Inter Milan failed to score a goal and conceded a goal. In front of the two strong opponents, their performance was not satisfactory.

This also once aroused suspicion from the outside world.

But in August, Inter Milan went to Munich, Germany to participate in the Beckenbauer Cup. As a result, at the Allianz Arena, with a goal from Mancini, Inter Milan defeated Klinsmann's Bayern Munich 1-0.

In this game, Inter Milan returned to the four-three-three that Mourinho is best at. They pay attention to wing attack and coordination. The formation is very compact, and the defense and aggression in the midfield are sufficient.

Gazzetta dello Sport said after the game: "Inter Milan's defense is super successful, and the team's personality is also very good. This is a great victory for Mourinho."

A warm-up match, described as a great victory, is somewhat licked, but it also proves that Mourinho's team performed very well.

Sure enough, in the following warm-up matches, Inter Milan performed better and better.

The opponents over there are getting better and better, but Naples has not improved here, so why not worry?

Even Saki appealed in the column that Gao Shen should establish a main lineup as soon as possible.

Especially the starting lineup in the Italian Super Cup, quickly run out.

The eight Olympic athletes still have a great influence on Naples, especially the central defender.

The two core central defenders of last season both went to China. After Domic was sold, there was only one young Cannavaro in the team who was trustworthy.

Gao Shen went around and tried Vidal, Thiago Motta, Lichtsteiner and Benatia, but the results were not satisfactory, which made many people worry about Gao Shen.

That's it, can Zhan Guo rice?

…………

Grosseto, Tuscany region, central Italy.

Speaking of Grosseto, Gao Shen is actually quite unfamiliar, but Naples is not the case.

Because this team used to be a big rival for Naples' promotion from Serie C to Serie B, but they eventually lost in the promotion play-offs and failed to advance to Serie B with Naples.

But they only stayed in Serie C for one more year, and soon they were promoted to Serie B and ranked in the middle.

It is worth mentioning that the head coach of this team is a deep old acquaintance, Pioli.

Yes, it is the head coach of AC Milan who will be famous for fighting fires in the future.

After Parma was beaten by Gao Shen and lost his coaching position, Pioli was out of work at home for a year and a half. It was not until September 2007 that he rescued Grosseto halfway. He led the team with excellent results and was able to stay in office.

Describe his year and a half with what Pioli said in an interview with the media later, "In the past year and a half, I have watched every game in Naples repeatedly, from Serie B to Serie A, I have repeatedly He deliberated every set of tactics and routines that Gao Shen used in Naples."

Pioli believes that in this year and a half, his entire tactical thinking has undergone a huge change.

After coaching Grosseto, he began to move his tactical style closer to the advanced direction.

Therefore, Grosseto played a tactic very similar to Naples in Serie B, but different.

To use the description of the Italian media: Grosseto players will bite their opponents like mad dogs. They will run at all costs to form a numerical advantage in a local area. They advocate side attack.

Pioli's team, like Naples, attaches great importance to the pressing and oppression of the frontcourt. They will try their best to force the opponent's ball-handling players to the side, and then use the numerical advantage to encircle and attack. After the steal is successful, they will fight back immediately.

So much so that after Grosseto performed well, many people believe that Pioli has the opportunity to lead Grosseto this season and stage the success of Naples.

However, this team has natural weaknesses.

That is too few home fans.

Grosseto itself is not a big city, with a small population and a small stadium, with a total capacity of only 9,000 people, but in fact, the daily attendance rate is simply less than half.

When it comes to a warm-up match against Naples, the attendance rate is not even a thousand people.

It is conceivable that the future of such a team is extremely limited.

Unfortunately, Gao Shen took a fancy to it.

...

Before the game, Gao Shen specially reunited with Pioli, who claimed to learn from him after a long absence, and chatted for a while on the sidelines.

Although he was beaten by Gao Shen and lost his handsome position, Pioli said that he learned a lot from Gao Shen.

And Gao Shen was not stingy, and gave some of his own ideas.

Although he didn't study Grosseto and Pioli's style of play in depth, he had heard more or less that this specious imitation was not enough. Gao Shen believed that his midfield pressing and pressing were not organized well enough.

After the overall pressure is on, if the frontcourt is not organized well and the opponent cannot be suppressed, the gap behind will be exposed, and the opponent can directly hit behind with just a long pass.

This is why Grosseto conceded so many goals last season.

It is almost one-to-one with goals, which is not acceptable.

"Either simply stabilize and retreat a little; or simply increase the strength and continue to press forward."

Pioli was quite touched.

After Gao Shen chatted with him for a while, he turned and walked back to the coaching bench of the visiting team.

As soon as he got to his position, he saw Lucas walking out of the coach's bench.

"Our people looked around and didn't find Inter Milan's scouts."

After listening to Gao Shen, he smiled.
