Three Hundred and Eighty-Seven Don't Be Afraid, We Can Win the Championship!

Super Group of Death!

This is the term that has been reported the most by media around the world after the UEFA Champions League group stage draw.

Almost all media believe that Naples is afraid that it will be difficult to break out of the Champions League group stage.

Surrounded by a lot of powerful enemies, it is the first time to participate in the UEFA Champions League after the restructuring. Naples has no experience in European competitions, whether it is facing Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, or Zenit St. Petersburg who just won the Europa League. , Naples has no advantage.

As the defending champion of Serie A, it may be difficult for Naples to stand out from such a terrifying death group.

Even Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy believes that this season's Group H has created the most terrifying death group since the restructuring of the Champions League, surpassing the one in the 2002-03 season.

Sacchi also analyzed the UEFA Champions League draw in his column. He also believes that Naples' luck in the draw is indeed not ideal.

But Sacchi believes that Naples still has a chance.

Real Madrid and Bayern are very famous, but they are far from the strength of the top European teams. Compared with Manchester United, Chelsea and other Premier League teams, their strength is slightly inferior. This is equivalent to giving Naples a chance.

"Judging from Gao Shen's experience in coaching Real Madrid, he has never lacked the ability to lead the team to fight tough battles, and even every time he faces a strong opponent, he can inspire his fighting spirit and desire to win."

Sacchi believes that Naples still has a chance to qualify, but there is one key point, which is to play well at home.

As the fourth-tier team, Naples' schedule is to be a guest at the Bernabeu first, then host Bayern Munich, go to Russia in the third round, challenge Zenit St. Petersburg away, and return to home against the Russian team in the fourth round.

Sacchi said that from the past UEFA Champions League group matches, as long as you can win three home games, you will get nine points. If you can go all out for the next game in the away game, or get two draws, it will be basically stable.

However, some media believe that what Sacchi said is too idealistic.

In fact, the Naples team is so young, and most of the players are participating in the Champions League for the first time. It is very difficult to play away games. Cheap.

"The Champions League is not Serie A! Gao Shen and his Naples should practice well and improve themselves step by step."

The implication is that Naples this season will still become a stepping stone for the giants.

In fact, this is also the norm in the Champions League group stage.

Teams in the fourth tier, or even the third tier, have always been the passers-by.

Some people even said that the teams that get into the third and fourth tiers are all for the prize money of the Champions League, just like collecting money to play with the rich teams and please the fans all over the world.

Looking around the world, there are many media and fans who have similar thoughts.

The vast majority of fans admire the strong, but should the weak team become stepping stones and cannon fodder?

The lights all over the world are set up for the protagonist, but don’t the actors and passers-by really deserve to have their own line and a picture?

...

On the morning of the team's departure to Rome, Gao Shen canceled the tactical discussion meeting.

He gathered all the players and employees and played a movie in the meeting room at Castel Volturno.

Hollywood's classic epic: Gladiator!

This classic movie is well-known by countless people, and many people present have seen it, but it is probably the first time that dozens of people, sitting in a conference room like today, watched this epic movie together attentively.

They watched Russell Crowe's protagonist go from the great Roman general,

Reduced to a gladiator desperate for survival, he did not give in, relentlessly fighting his fate and finally achieving his vengeance.

Under the lens of director Ridley Scott, the whole movie shows the grand scenes of war in the ancient Roman era, and at the same time reproduces the glory and prosperity of the Roman Empire. The wars and fighting in the arena are very fierce and fierce. , full of a violent aesthetic, and the whole story is quite tense.

Regardless of whether they have seen it before, everyone tensed up, and it was done in one go from beginning to end.

This is a legend!

But what really made Gao Shen choose it is that it exudes a brave and unyielding male hormone from the beginning to the end.

Moreover, this story happened in Rome, in Italy.

This makes Naples have a natural sense of intimacy, and the feeling is naturally more profound.

...

When the movie finished, everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of this epic masterpiece, immersed in the tragic legend of Russell Crowe, but Gao Shen had already withdrawn from the emotion.

He made everyone in Lucas's presence share a book.

Stefan Zweig's.

"This book has brought me great strength and inspired me infinitely."

Gao Shen told the players why he chose to give them this book.

"When the composer Handel was at his poorest and exhausted, he suddenly captured a glimmer of inspiration and wrote the immortal poem; After suffering heavy blows again and again, a cable connecting Europe and the American continent was finally erected..."

Gao Shen held the book in his hand, and gestured excitedly in front of him with one hand.

Everyone at the scene watched silently and listened intently.

"In this book, there are two sentences that I like very much."

"There is only one thing that tires a person: indecision and uncertainty. And each one is liberating, and even if you do something wrong, it's better than doing nothing."

"There is no greater happiness for a man than to discover his calling in life in the midst of his life, in the creative prime of his life."

When Gao Shen said this, he stopped and waited for the people in front of him.

He needed to wait for them to chew and digest what had just happened.

From the movie to the book, to the two sentences he said just now, in fact, he wanted to tell them one thing.

That is: don't be afraid!

...

Naples is small, even insignificant.

But this doesn't mean that Naples is a secondary player, a dispensable passerby.

And the key to the whole thing has never been how the outside media reporters, fans, or even colleagues think, but how Naples itself thinks of itself?

Lost confidence after being drawn into the death group? Lost fighting spirit? Think the future is bleak?

Gao Shen let them watch movies and read books, just to tell them to be self-improvement!

Blacksmith need its own hardware!

If you can't do it yourself, how can you change everything?

"I know that after seeing the Champions League group stage draw, you will feel worried, feel hesitant, even afraid, these are normal, and frankly, I will too, because I have led Real Madrid, I have played in the Champions League, So I know how difficult it is, even if it's just the group stage, every game of it is at the final level."

All the teams participating in the UEFA Champions League are almost the top teams in each league, and every matchup is at the final level. What Gao Shen said was not wrong, and it was even very correct.

Any team, even if it is a powerful top giant, as long as it relaxes a little, it may be unstoppable immediately.

"However," Gao Shen yelled heavily, "I'm here, and I can assure you, give you a promise, as long as you play the game according to my plan and arrangement, as long as we obey my tactical arrangement and carry out the tasks I assigned , I guarantee that you will face every opponent in the Champions League group stage in the best condition."

"I can guarantee that each of you will appear in the Champions League knockout!"

The sonorous and powerful promise of Gao Shen surprised everyone present.

This is the Super Death Group!

This is not in Serie A, but in the Champions League, facing champion teams like Real Madrid, Bayern and Zenit.

But who is Gao Shen?

If it was two years ago, no one would believe his words. Even the players would sneer when they turned around, thinking that he was bragging and exaggerating, which was not realistic at all.

But today, two years later, no one would question Gao Shen's words.

Even, many people are convinced.

Because in the past two years, Gao Shen has brought them victories and championships one after another.

In the past two years, all the promises that Gao Shen needed have been fulfilled!

Now, what reason do they have to question the head coach?

Gao Shen also had a panoramic view of the expressions of everyone on the scene, especially the expressions of the players.

He knew that his words had worked.

After the lottery, whether it is the public opinion from the outside media and fans, or the discussion within the team, it is actually not ideal.

No one wants to encounter such a strong opponent in the group stage.

But as a fourth-tier team, it is inevitable to draw such a lottery.

It's just that Naples is a little more unlucky.

But Gao Shen must completely kill this negative emotion, this pessimistic and negative attitude in the cradle.

He wants everyone to cheer up, surround him, and play hard for him.

That's why he arranged such an event today.

He wants to take this opportunity to unify everyone's thinking.

Let Naples, from players to employees to coaches to him, all twist into one rope to form a joint force.

Only in this way can there be a chance to break out from the group of death.

"Trust me, guys!" Gao Shen continued to speak loudly.

"The so-called group of death is not only talking about the strength of the opponent, but also proving our own strength."

"Let me ask, if we are not strong, will we still be the group of death?"

Many people present nodded their heads.

If Naples is not strong, how can this super group of death be super?

"So, we have such strength, and what we should do is to make ourselves stronger."

"As long as we are strong enough, the ones we fear will be our opponents, and the group of death will no longer be our nightmare, but the opponent's nightmare!"

"I dare say, if we can break through this kind of group training and win this kind of competition, then what difficulties can stop us? Will we still be satisfied with the top sixteen?"

"No! No! We will want to win more, even, win the championship!"

At the end, Gao Shen shouted almost with all his strength.

And everyone at the scene also felt the power that Gao Shen conveyed and wanted to instill in them!
