Four Hundred and Twenty-One, It's Nice to Be Young!

"It's not that I didn't give you a chance, it's that the chance is given to you, and you can't grasp it!"

Gao Shen was so happy that he almost stepped forward to give Ancelotti a hug.

Fatty An had a resentful look on his face, obviously very dissatisfied with the result of this competition.

why?

In fact, it is no wonder that the fourth-ranked team in Serie A is playing at home and facing a leader with a large rotation. The key is that when the opponent has one more player than the opponent throughout the second half, there is nothing they can do about the opponent.

In the end, he was forced to rely on a penalty kick to tie the score.

The point is, this penalty is still very controversial.

Don't look at Ancelotti's post-match press conference saying that the penalty kick is not controversial.

That's strange!

When Kaka shot, there was a high probability that Nainggolan's hand was only slightly opened by conditioned reflex, which was obviously not intentional.

Besides, if he didn't kick his hand, the goal might not be scored.

In front of the media and fans, Ancelotti must support the team, but in private, Fatty An is really depressed.

He really can't do anything about this team.

But in addition to being depressed, and seeing Gao Shen's shy look, Fatty An wished he could tear the devil with his hands.

...

"Did you plan to lose?" Ancelotti asked.

Gao Shen waved his hand, "To be clear, it's not that I planned to lose, but that I can accept the loss because I have a four-point advantage. Who am I afraid of?"

At the end, Gao Shen couldn't help but burst out laughing, this is the rhythm of intending to piss Ancelotti to death.

Fatty An almost rushed over and tore him apart.

Can we still have a good chat?

Do you have to sprinkle salt on my wounds to be happy?

"Lang, just go ahead and kill you sooner or later!" Ancelotti gritted his teeth.

Gao Shen chuckled and ignored him.

"Frankly speaking, if you play the main force tonight, we are likely to lose." After calming down, Ancelotti said frankly that he still has a better understanding of his team's situation.

Nodding confidently, he thought so too.

"But I'm not stupid!"

"Of course you're not stupid, it's just that you're asking for too much, and it's too risky." Ancelotti shook his head.

Gao Shen grinned and laughed, "The risks are high, but the benefits are also high, this is the fun!"

After a pause, Gao Shen said again: "This is my last season in Naples, I just want to play big!"

It feels like when he coached Real Madrid,

Same when betting on the double crown.

Gao Shen is now betting heavily on Serie A and the Champions League.

The difference is that he is now more confident than when he coached Real Madrid.

Because it was Barcelona that led La Liga back then, Real Madrid was so much ahead, and the Champions League also lost at home to Arsenal. Gao Shen was really forced to have no way out, so he let go of the big gamble.

But now, Naples is the leader, and it is the one leading by four points. It is also the leader in the Champions League group stage, and it is the favorite to qualify. Gao Shen is more confident than before.

Ancelotti looked at the profound expression at this moment, and he couldn't help feeling in his heart: It's really good to be young!

Always full of enthusiasm, always full of fighting spirit, dare to fight, dare to fight, dare to venture and dare to think.

Once upon a time, he was like Gao Shen, but gradually, the years have worn away his edges and corners.

And looking at the depth, Ancelotti is really envious.

In fact, the deep intention is easy to guess.

In the game against AC Milan, he kept his strength and changed the substitute lineup significantly. He made it clear that he wanted to beat Zenit St. Petersburg at home in the fourth round of the Champions League next Wednesday.

This is not only to avenge the away game, but also to grab the crucial three points.

After getting the three points, in the last two rounds, Naples actually didn't need to play too hard, because the qualifying qualifications were basically obtained.

The only difference is that if Bayern beat Real Madrid in an away game, the top spot in the group will still be in suspense.

However, if Gao Shen does not try his best to defeat Zenit, in case of a home defeat, whether it is a loss or a draw, then in the last two rounds, Naples is likely to fall into an embarrassing situation where they must do their best to win.

Let me ask, at that time, when Naples slams against Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in a row, how much pressure will there be in such a game?

Therefore, Gao Shen's decision to make a large rotation against AC Milan must be the result of careful consideration.

As he said, the league has a four-point lead and he can afford it.

Even if he loses, he is still the leader.

But the Champions League is different, one round of heaven, one round of hell, it's hard to say.

Thinking of this, Ancelotti really has to admire Gao Shen, who always makes the most beneficial and safest choice for himself.

Of course, the favorable situation in Naples was also created by Gao Shen and the team.

If Naples is not leading by four points now, how dare Gao Shen play like this?

In fact, Ancelotti can only blame himself. With such a large rotation in Naples, even with one less player at halftime, he still can't win the opponent. Who can be blamed?

Inter Milan beat Reggina 3-2 away, and Juventus beat Roma 2-0 at home.

Now, Naples still has a two-point lead.

The situation in Serie A is still quite good for Naples.

This is also thanks to the "fulfillment" of AC Milan.

As for the Champions League, as long as Zenit is won at home, the last two rounds will be the difference between the first and second in the group for Naples, and the pressure will naturally be reduced a lot.

"I think Bayern will still smash Real Madrid." Ancelotti reminded.

Gao Shen nodded, "If it were me, I would do the same."

Bayern's stalemate is the expedition to St. Petersburg on November 25. This battle is extremely dangerous, and they even have to be mentally prepared to lose, and the last round is against Naples at home.

Obviously, no one with a little sense would put all their hopes in the last round.

More importantly, after losing to Real Madrid in the fourth round away game, as long as Naples beat Zenit at home, there is basically no suspense for the first place in the group, and even Bayern will be dragged into the quagmire of the second battle in the group by Real Madrid.

Therefore, for Bayern, the battle at the Bernabeu is the key decisive battle for the right to qualify for the group stage.

After winning Real Madrid, the rest is to compete with Naples for the first and second place in the group.

Ancelotti looks a little pessimistic about Real Madrid's situation, and so is Gao Shen.

The most important thing is that people's hearts are scattered.

Sometimes, this is worse than any fiasco, worse than any technique and tactics.

And who would have thought that the majestic Real Madrid would struggle in the group stage, and might not even qualify?

"Now, people are saying that you will return to Real Madrid next summer." Ancelotti looked at Gao Shen with a smile, trying to find some clues from his face.

Gao Shen snorted and laughed, "I also heard that you are going to take Kaka to Real Madrid."

Ancelotti is also happy.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Gao Shen said lightly, with a smile on his face.

His so-called lack of thinking is not about whether to return to Real Madrid, but thinking about how to go next.

Gao Shen is a person who does everything with all his might.

As the head coach of Naples, he must devote himself wholeheartedly. In the process, he will not be distracted by other things.

That's why, for so many years, he didn't even have an agent.

Ancelotti thought that Gao Shen hadn't decided whether to return to Real Madrid, but he himself felt a little embarrassed.

"Me too."

After sighing, Ancelotti forced a wry smile, "This is already my eighth season in Milan."

People always have feelings.

Especially for eight years.

"This team is no longer worthy of you, Carlo." Gao Shen said very sincerely.

Ancelotti's talents are being constrained by the current AC Milan.

This team seems to be full of stars, and there are famous stars in every position, but in fact, they are just a group of veterans who have already passed their peak. AC Milan is more like a nursing home.

More importantly, this team has relied on Berlusconi's investment for so many years. It has not formed an effective business operation model. Now, Berlusconi has no money to invest. What should I do?

The best way is to sell Kaka in exchange for a large sum of money, which can be used as the start-up capital for the team's metabolic transformation, to carry out rejuvenation reforms for the team, and I believe that they can return to the first group army as soon as possible.

But this is obviously out of Ancelotti's scope.

With his performance this season and with Ancelotti's character, it may be difficult for him to deal harshly with the team.

Seeing Ancelotti's complex expression at this moment, Gao Shen believes that he actually understands it in his heart, but he just can't let it go.

This reminds me of a sentence that Gao Shen heard from Guardiola: It is best not to coach in a team for more than four years, because after a long time, feelings will inevitably develop, and with feelings, judgment cannot be guaranteed Sensible and accurate.

To some extent, Gao Shen felt that this was correct.

But it is really difficult to do this.

Thinking of this, Gao Shen smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking hands with Ancelotti.

As a friend, no matter how Ancelotti chooses, Gao Shen has only support and respect.

Whether it is emotional or calm and rational, there is really no such thing as who is right and who is wrong.

The former is not necessarily a bad thing, and it is bound to lose; the latter is not necessarily successful, and it is bound to win.

Just like the former Boas coached Chelsea, is he sensible and calm enough?

But what happened?

So, the key is to look at the people.

"I'm going to go back and prepare well. Next week's game against Zenit, you should also think about it."

After finishing speaking, Gao Shen waved his hand and left.

Ancelotti stood behind him, watching him leave with envy in his heart.

Gao Shen is a very free-spirited and decisive person, so when he won the double crown, he resolutely left Real Madrid, and after leading Naples to win the double crown last season, he asked De Laurentiis Give him another season and let him fight for the Champions League.

He seems calm and rational, but in fact he can get along well with the players.

It is often said that the head coach needs a wealth of experience and experience, because coaching is teaching players to train.

But here in Gaoshen, youth has become his advantage.

Dare to think, dare to fight, dare to rush, and can absorb new things.

It's nice to be young!
