Four Hundred and Thirteen Hold on, Gao Shen, Don't Pee!

In the north of downtown Florence, less than two kilometers east of Frankie Stadium, on the north side of the roundabout at a three-way intersection, there is a low Tuscan-style building with red tiles and yellow walls covering an area of ​​nearly half a football field. It looks like it has been around for some years, and it has long been integrated with the surrounding residential buildings.

It's just that the two sides and the back of this big building are surrounded by football fields, which is very eye-catching.

The locals know that this is the core of Italian football, the Corvelciano training base.

With the suspension of the Serie A league, the national team regrouped and began to prepare for the European qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa, and the surrounding area suddenly became lively again.

Reporters, fans, and tourists who came here admiringly made the northern part of Florence extremely lively.

It happens whenever the national team gathers, and the locals are used to it.

This is because the training ground of the U21 national team is fixed in Rome, otherwise, it will be more lively here.

Many foreign journalists and tourists are not familiar with it. They have not touched the gate of the training base, so they can only turn to the local residents for help.

These residents living around the training base will always tell them with pride and pride, "You have gone wrong, this is the coach training base, here, that big building is the football museum, and further north is the national football museum." The Corvelciano training base where the team trains, that's the main entrance."

"However, if you want to watch the national team's game, you can't get in from here. You have to go back. Go north from the first intersection on the west. There is a small road that you can bypass to go to the front. There is a large lawn and grassland at the entrance of the training base. The woods, opposite is a Catholic church, very recognizable."

This has almost become something that happens repeatedly every day for local residents during each national team training period.

Who would have thought that instead of opening the gate of the national team's training base on the side of the main road, it would have to take a detour to enter instead? But today the situation seems to be a little different.

The national team is training for the upcoming games against Bulgaria and Montenegro, but there are still many people in the southern part of the training base, and many of them are foreigners.

For example, there were two foreigners in the crowd who were at least 1.9 meters tall, and they looked particularly tall and burly, especially one of them, with a full face of stubble, looked like a German.

Only Germans are tall and scruffy.

"You are going the wrong way. The national team training base has to go north from the crossroad over there and take a detour."

"What, aren't you going to the national team training base?"

The local residents were surprised. He thought that these foreigners who could not speak Italian could not even speak English well?

"This is the Italian coach training base, the football museum, not the national team training base, understand?"

"Understood." The slightly thin German with a high hairline replied with a smile, "We are here for the coach training base."

"Don't you have a coach training center in Germany? Why did you come to Italy?" the residents asked curiously.

Although our coach training in Italy is indeed very good, it seems that it is not so good. Let you come all the way to receive training? The German smiled and said nothing. After thanking him, he walked over and said something in German to the burly middle-aged man with a beard, and then the two walked towards the entrance of the Football Museum.

This made the Italian residents behind them feel very puzzled.

It's really strange, why don't these people go to see the national team today, but go to visit the football museum?

Could it be that Italy's football history attracted them?

But soon, they discovered something special.

Not only the two Germans, but more and more people came to the Koverciano training base.

There are Germans, Spaniards, Argentina, Portugal, England, France...and of course Italians... They are asking for directions in various languages, but none of them are training for the battle. The national team came, but they all walked into the football museum.

This made the surrounding residents very curious.

It makes no sense, does it?

It stands to reason that the national team is training nearby, so why not go to see the national team and visit the museum instead?

Having lived near the national team training base for a long time, they faintly felt that something unusual was about to happen today.

But the news didn't reveal any news.

…………

…………

Accompanied by Zidane and Lucas, Gao Shen walked out of the Florence Airport in a simple way.

There were already people waiting for the plane at the scene. As soon as they saw them, they were immediately picked up in the car and headed east.

"Are there many people here today?"

As soon as he entered the downtown area of ​​Florence, Lucas, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, asked gossip.

The person who picked up the plane was a high-level executive from Corviciano. After hearing this, he nodded excitedly and said, "There are too many, and we are all worried now. Can there be enough seats in the auditorium?"

After finishing speaking, he smiled wryly.

"Is it so exaggerated?" Gao Shen was a little skeptical.

He was actually worried that no one was there.

"Why not?" The high-level executive who picked up the plane was afraid that Gao would not believe it, and then said: "Not to mention anything else, basically all the students who were originally trained in Corviciano will be present. There are nearly a hundred people, and there are also people from the neighboring country I heard that even Lippi wants to come to listen to the team's international players, and some of our domestic head coaches want to come."

"In addition, we sent the news to UEFA a week ago. As a result, in just one week, the football associations of many countries came to the door one after another, asking for a place to sit in. I seriously doubt that the lecture hall with 300 people may be Can't sit down."

After Gao Shen listened, he looked at Zidane, and both of them laughed at the same time.

He finally felt relieved.

The Italian Football Association invited Gao Shen to participate in the summit and keynote speeches. He invited Gao Shen many times, but was rejected by Gao Shen. But this time, Ulivieri personally came forward and invited him to give lectures at the Whampoa Military Academy in the Italian football world. Invitation issued on behalf of the Italian Coaches Association.

It can be said that this time I really gave a lot of face.

This kind of opportunity can not only greatly enhance Gao Shen's influence in the professional circle, but also a very rare opportunity to communicate with everyone.

But frankly speaking, when Gao was invited, he was still very worried, so he specially brought in Zidane and Lucas to help out.

It's better to be embarrassed by three people than alone, isn't it? Now it seems that his worry is a bit unnecessary.

"By the way, are there a lot of people from foreign countries?" Zidane asked suddenly.

"Well, there are quite a lot. According to the list I saw before, there are Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Argentina and Brazil, etc. People from many countries want to come, and they basically fly here. "

When Gao Shen heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little secretly proud.

When he was in the tactical library, he saw someone flying to Scotland to listen to Ferguson's speech class. He admired it from the bottom of his heart and felt that Ferguson was the real top coach.

Unexpectedly, he now has such treatment.

But he still lacked confidence.

"Could this be the babysitter you're looking for?"

"How is it possible?" The other party laughed, and he really didn't expect that Gao Shen, who seemed to be full of confidence on weekdays, would be so unconfident in such a matter.

However, if you think about it carefully, it's no wonder.

too young!

Through the rear mirror of the car, you can see Gao Shen's handsome face. If you don't mention his name and say that he is a professional player, no one will doubt him, but if you say that he is the head coach, everyone will probably be suspicious. My heart beats.

Being too young and having too little qualifications, he doesn't have much confidence in this kind of thing.

Moreover, this is the first time Gao Shen has spoken in public since coaching Real Madrid.

The whole world knows how advanced the profound tactical concept is. From Real Madrid's double crown to Naples' two consecutive seasons of newly promoted horses winning the championship, the profound coaching ability is beyond doubt.

What sets off his coaching ability is his advanced tactical concept.

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has mentioned Gao Shen's influence on him more than once, and even admitted that his philosophy has a deep imprint of Gao Shen's football.

Not to mention, in the peak match against Inter Milan last season, almost half of Italy's famous coaches gathered at the San Paolo Stadium, which shows how high the tactical gold content of that game is.

"Oh, yes, Mancini will come too." The driver suddenly thought of the former Inter Milan coach.

Gao Shen was taken aback, "He's coming too?"

This really shocked him.

Mancini is notoriously arrogant, especially when dealing with Gao Shen.

Lippi, or anyone else, would not be too surprised if Gao Shen came, but Mancini, he was really surprised.

"He has also been constantly adding value and recharging himself recently." The senior manager of the Coaches Association is obviously very familiar with Mancini.

Gao Shen nodded silently.

How fortunate he is now that he has worked hard to learn all kinds of football knowledge in the tactical library in the past few years, and it was finally not in vain. Now he can go to Corvelciano so calmly.

Otherwise, even if he is a time traveler, how would Gao Shen dare to speak in front of so many famous coaches and professional head coaches?

This really confirms a sentence.

Time travel is not omnipotent, knowledge is power! ...

After arriving in Coverciano, Gao Shen and his party did not go through the gate of the national team base, but came directly to the Football Museum.

A lot of coaches gathered here long ago. When they saw the welcome car, everyone immediately gathered around. They all guessed that the person sitting in the car should be Gao Shen.

Sure enough, when Gao Shen got off the car, many people at the scene were surprised because he was so young.

But I don't know who started it first among the surrounding crowd, and there was a round of applause at the scene.

This made Gao very flattered, and he kept thanking his colleagues present.

The courtesy was so high that he felt a little uncomfortable.

What shocked Gao Shen the most was that he saw a few familiar faces among the applauding crowd, especially those two tall men, especially the scruffy man with a beard.

Nima, why is it him?

And he...

It's over, my legs are a little weak!

Hold on, Gao Shen, don't pee!
