Chapter 434: The Clown Is Actually Myself!
Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: The disease of rushing water, as for boulders, is the momentum; the disease of birds of prey, as for the broken, is the festival.
That is to say, the reason why the turbulent water can move the boulder is because it produces the potential energy of huge impact force; power timing.
There is one last sentence in this article [Fifth Military Power]: Therefore, the momentum of those who are good at fighting people is like turning a round stone on a mountain of thousands of feet, and they have momentum.
It means: the momentum created by those who are good at commanding and fighting is like rolling a boulder from a very high and steep mountain.
This is the so-called potential!
Not only in Sun Tzu's Art of War.
There is a saying in [Mencius Gongsun Chou Shang]: Although you have wisdom, it is better to take advantage of the situation; although you have a good foundation, it is better to wait for the time.
The meaning is: even if you have great wisdom, you must be good at observing the general trend; even if you have a hoe, you must wait patiently for the right time.
Not only did the ancients say so, but Mr. Lei, a ghost and animal expert, said a famous saying: Standing in the air, pigs can fly.
Gao Shen finally understood why Wu Qingfeng was so popular.
...
With the increasingly rich coaching experience, Gao Shen is more and more able to understand why football is sought after by so many people, and is regarded as the number one sport in the world, and is known as a war without gunpowder.
As small as a game, as big as a season, or as big as a team, in fact, they all pay attention to a [potential].
From the small trend of a game, slowly accumulate, converge into the general trend of a season, and then gather the momentum of each season into a bigger trend that the team will last for many years.
In this process, although there will be some bumps and bumps, and even some obstacles, but overall, the potential remains unchanged, and the overall trend of the team will not change much.
This is like a real society.
In the world we live in, there are so-called "potentials" ranging from an individual, to a family, a business, to a city, or even a country.
In this long process, there are always some [potentials] that play a key role.
For example, Naples played away against Inter Milan.
...
In the post-match press conference, Inter Milan coach Mourinho said: "I must congratulate Naples, because they defeated the strongest team in Serie A. They seized the initiative on the way to the championship!"
Although later, Mourinho also said that it is not time for Inter Milan to give up. As long as the team performs better, I believe there will be a chance to reverse the situation, overtake Naples and regain the top.
Because the league has not been halfway through yet, it is too early to talk about winning the championship.
But allowing Mourinho to say this is enough to prove that after Naples won this game, the blow to Mourinho and Inter Milan was very painful.
Gao Shen also said at the post-match press conference that this game is an important node, and winning against Inter Milan will make Naples more confident.
"It fully proves that from the beginning of the season to the present, the rotation system we have adhered to, the tactics and strategies we have adopted, and the hard work and sweat put in by all of us are worth it!"
Gao Shen made it clear that Naples' defeat of Inter Milan does not mean that they have won the championship, which is still too far away.
"But through this game, all of us have become more aware of what we can do, what we can do, what we aspire to do, more than anything else."
Naples wants to win the title now!
Serie A champions!
Winner of the Coppa Italia!
Even the champion of the Champions League!
This battle extended Naples' lead in the Serie A standings to five points. This is not a big gap, but the key is that the momentum of the two sides is completely different.
Naples' morale is like a rainbow and the momentum is like a broken bamboo, while Inter Milan has lost to Naples in a row, and their morale has been hit hard.
This may not show any clues in the short term, but once the critical moment of the championship comes, Inter Milan will definitely be affected.
...
Not just the head coaches of both sides.
On the second day of the game, all major Italian media were scrambling to praise Naples' performance.
The ball possession rate was close to 70% throughout the game, and the number of shots was four times that of Inter Milan, but only scored one goal in the end, and it was scored at the final stage of the game. This is definitely a test. The strength, willpower and fighting spirit of the two sides competed, and Naples won!
Gazzetta dello Sport said, "From this game, it is not difficult to see that Naples is the most champion-looking team in Serie A so far this season. A sophisticated team is like a born king!"
The Roma La Repubblica said, "Although only one goal was scored in the game, it was scored in stoppage time, but no matter the process or the result, Naples' performance is convincing. They are the most powerful team in the Serie A championship this season. contender."
Even the Turin Sports Daily, which has always been at odds with Naples, has publicly stood for Naples this time, believing that this team from the south is likely to win the Serie A championship again, which will be the first time in the history of Italian football.
Since Genoa, the first champion of Serie A, was born in 1898, Serie A has gone through a history of more than 100 years. In this history of more than 100 years, many southern champions have been born, such as Rome, Lazio, Naples Among them, Naples won the championship in 1987 and 1990.
The Roman duo won the Serie A championship in 2000 and 2001.
But there has never been a southern team that has successfully won consecutive championships in Serie A.
Even the Naples team that had Maradona back then couldn't do it.
But now, Gao Shen's Naples is known as the number one favorite who is most likely to win the championship again. This is not only an affirmation of Naples, but also an affirmation of Gao Shen.
After Naples defeated Inter Milan 1-0 in an away game, the three major European bookmakers changed their odds at the same time. Naples overtook Inter Milan with a slight advantage and became the favorite to win the championship.
This is the first time!
...
It can be said that after defeating Inter Milan in the away game, in just one night, the entire public opinion, and even the momentum of the entire Serie A league, was completely reversed by Naples, as if everyone and everything were standing by Naples.
The whole momentum has changed dramatically.
Gao Shen can clearly feel this change, and he himself is proud of the team's performance, but at the same time, he keeps telling himself and telling the players that the more they need to be calm at this time.
The pig standing on the air vent can fly because the wind blows, but what if the wind stops?
A flightless pig is still a pig.
If you want to fly, you have to grow your own wings!
Therefore, the day after Gao Shen finished playing Inter Milan, he specially held an all-hands meeting. He was very serious and sternly warned everyone. If you don't invest, then he will disqualify this person without hesitation.
Whoever he is!
Of course, behind the stern warning, Gao Shen praised the players as usual, and at the same time made a big picture. It is nothing more than that the team is now in a good momentum, and it is entirely possible to win the championship again, and even have a chance to hit the Champions League. Yunyun.
All in all, in a word, radish plus stick, yes!
…………
…………
After playing Inter Milan, Naples finally ushered in a respite and got a week of rest.
Gao Shen gave everyone in the team a two-day vacation.
Of course, in order to maintain the state, the two-day holidays were staggered, but this did not affect Naples at all.
A week later, Naples ushered in Siena at home.
At the San Paolo, Napoli opened the scoring with Thiago Motta in just seven minutes.
Before the end of the first half, Cavani made another victory, 2-0.
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Sanchez, Cavani and Mertens, who came off the bench, scored goals one after another.
In the end, Naples beat Siena five to one at home.
It is worth mentioning that the Siena starting striker who is a guest at the San Paolo Stadium is Emmanuel Carayo.
Yes, when Gao Shen first coached Naples, the team was the team's top scorer in Serie C, but soon transferred to Siena for more than 3 million euros. He started this game at the San Paolo Stadium.
Although Siena scored a goal, but this goal has nothing to do with Carajo.
After the game, Carayo also specially met with Gao Shen, and at the same time talked with the old captain Montevino and Jezuo for a while.
But he soon discovered to his dismay that the Naples fans seemed to have forgotten him.
No wonder.
When he was there, Naples was just a Serie C team and a newly promoted Serie B team. With a worth of more than 3 million, he was already considered the top star in the team. That's why he resolutely chose to leave the team after Gao Shen coached.
Even, there was some resentment in his heart at that time, and he wanted to make Gao Shen and Naples regret it.
But now, he discovered that the clown turned out to be himself.
His departure did not have any impact on Naples. Even, Naples used the money from selling him in exchange for more powerful players. With these players, Naples counterattacked all the way, from Serie B champions to Serie A From the champion to the dark horse of the Champions League this season, it can be said to be a step by step.
The current Naples dare not say that it is a strong team in the Champions League, but at least it is considered a well-known European team. Many players in the team have received the attention and favor of many wealthy teams.
But what about Karayo?
After leaving Naples in Serie B and switching to Siena in Serie A, he suddenly felt like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate, but after two years, he found that he was still that carp, unable to become a dragon, and even he was not as good as before.
At this moment, standing at the Sao Paulo Stadium, Carayo couldn't help feeling remorse.
He couldn't help but wonder, if he hadn't left Naples, would his career have changed with this team?
Worst of all, can he also mix up some championship trophies like Cannavaro Jr., Montevino and Yezuo and others?
