Five Hundred Miscalculated

Choose optimism, which is a credo of Ferguson's coaching.

Football is a very special sport. No matter how strong the team is, no matter how good the head coach is, there will be a moment when they lose.

Even, the stronger you are, the easier it is to lose at critical moments.

How to face loss is a skill that all mature head coaches must learn.

Choosing to be optimistic does not mean blindly ignoring the facts, but looking at the facts rationally and rigorously, and finding the best way and way to change and improve.

It was as if at this very moment, standing in front of the coach of the home team at Old Trafford, Ferguson looked at Gao Shen who rushed out of the coach of the visiting team, and the Naples players, watching them wildly cheering and celebrating on the field.

He felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't have too many negative emotions.

Judging from the two rounds of the game, Manchester United's overall strength does not have any advantage, and may even be slightly inferior to Naples.

Gao Shen has created a very strong, very unique team that fully demonstrates his personal coaching style.

He found his own "Tao".

Next, what he needs to do is to constantly improve and improve his "Tao".

As for Manchester United, in fact, the performance is not so bad.

If Manchester United performs poorly, there is no way to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

These two rounds of matches exposed Manchester United's problems, but it also told Ferguson the direction of the team's change and improvement.

Ronaldo is leaving, and it will be time for Ferguson to argue with the management and the Glazer family behind the scenes.

How much of the transfer fee left by the Portuguese can be converted into funds for team signings?

This is what Ferguson needs to focus on now.

Champions League?

ended!

...

Gao Shen just lost his composure for a while.

He quickly woke up and called on the players to restrain themselves, after all, this is still Old Trafford.

When he walked back to the sidelines, he found that Ferguson was already standing there waiting for him.

"Congratulations, young man!" Ferguson smiled and held out his hand.

"Thank you, sir." Gao Shen held Ferguson's hand.

"You played really well in the second round. You deserve to be promoted." Ferguson admitted with grace that his skills were not as good as others.

Gao Shen smiled and was not humble.

In his mind, Naples did play better tonight.

He actually didn't know what to say, especially at this moment, in this situation.

"In the nineteenth century, the famous British writer Rudyard Kipling once said, 'Facing luck and misfortune calmly, and being open-minded about wins and losses, honors and disgraces'." Ferguson said with a smile on the contrary.

"There are many people who forget themselves when they are successful, lose their souls when they are frustrated, feel invincible when everything is going well, and feel like falling into an abyss when they encounter setbacks, worrying that they will have no way to escape."

Hearing this, Gao Shen understood Ferguson's kindness.

"In psychology, this is called 'distorted thought'." Gao Shen took over the conversation.

Ferguson was a little surprised.

Gao Shen frowned, "As I said, I have studied psychology by myself."

Ferguson couldn't help laughing. He felt more and more that Gao Shen was actually a very interesting young man.

Of course, when you win against him, it's not as fun.

"From a utilitarian point of view, I have two Champions Leagues, and you only have one. I should be qualified to mention a few words to you, but I lost to you again tonight, but I think again, if I don't say it now, I will win it in the future." Probably no chance."

Gao Shen nodded with a smile.

What Ferguson means is that if Gao Shen wins the Champions League in Rome, then Gao Shen also has two Champions Leagues, which is almost the same as Ferguson.

It is even more difficult for the old Scottish man to be cheeky.

"Anyway, no matter when, you talk, I listen." Gao Shen said humbly.

"I believe you understand the principle of not being surprised or humiliated. Otherwise, you would not be able to get to where you are today, but you must never make the mistake in the first round again." Ferguson looked deep and said earnestly.

"The last time someone told me in private that he admired me too, and his team beat us 2-1 at home in the first leg and drew us 1-1 at Old Trafford. , directly eliminated me from the top sixteen."

"Now, you also said that you are my fan. As a result, the first round was 1-1, and the second round was 2-0, knocking me out of the semi-finals..."

When he said this, Ferguson shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly.

"I dare say I died at the hands of my own fans!"

Gao Shen is also happy.

Although Ferguson did not mention his name, judging from the score, he knew that it was Mourinho.

Back then, when Mourinho coached Porto, he eliminated Ferguson's Manchester United in the round of sixteen.

"During the final, be careful with Barcelona. This team is not easy to play. To be honest, I don't have any good ideas. Either I should simply guard against death, or I have to keep up with their pass and possession rhythm..."

When Ferguson said this, he shook his head helplessly.

Judging by his appearance, even if he makes it to the final, he probably has no good way to face Barcelona, ​​which has such outstanding pass and control ability.

Therefore, whether he falls in the semi-finals or the finals, for him, it really doesn't make much difference.

...

Gao Shen and Ferguson stood on the sidelines for nearly ten minutes and chatted a lot.

This time when he came to Manchester, Gao Shen brought Ferguson two boxes of wine from Chilean wineries.

Gao Shen didn't say it was his own, but only said that it was a famous Chilean red wine brand. He asked a friend to bring it, let Ferguson taste it, and someone will send it to him later.

Although he lost the game, but earned two boxes of famous Chilean wine, Ferguson's mood improved a lot, and he thanked him.

Soft-handed and short-mouthed, Ferguson could only give some advice to Gao Shen, all of whom played against Barcelona in the Champions League final.

In the first round of the semi-finals, Barcelona had already defeated Liverpool 3-1 in the away game. Advancement to the final was a certainty.

But master and apprentice belong to master and apprentice, and Guardiola is coaching the giant Barcelona, ​​and it is also Barcelona at the peak period in history.

Gao Shen is still under great pressure.

As Ferguson said, either, like Chelsea or Inter Milan in the previous life, tighten the formation, guard against death, and then fight Barcelona through counterattacks; or they have to go all out and play against Barcelona.

The former is too negative, too passive, and the ball possession rate is almost suppressed to 20-30%.

With such a young lineup as Naples, the average age is only in their early twenties. Whether they can hold for 90 minutes under Barcelona's high-pressure tactics like Inter Milan and Chelsea, is not very sure.

Moreover, in the past three years, although Naples has changed tactics, it has rarely adopted such a defensive tactic.

There is another kind of attack, which is to deal with Barcelona by pressing and pressing in a high position, but this requires that Naples players must be able to keep up with Barcelona's rhythm in the game.

It's like Heynckes' Bayern Munich team.

But now, Naples is facing a Barcelona team that is stronger than it was in 2013 and is at its peak.

how to spell?

Gao Shen already had a general framework and ideas in mind.

After all, when Guardiola was under his command and served as his assistant, Gao Shen thought about this issue a lot, and used Guardiola's Barcelona as an imaginary enemy, but now he has to put it into practice.

...

The game is over!

Naples defeated Manchester United 2-0 away, reversed the Red Devils 3-1 on aggregate, and successfully advanced to the Champions League final.

In the stands of Old Trafford, among the crowds of Manchester United fans leaving the field one after another, the young chairman of Manchester City, Mubarak, was watching the coaching bench of the visiting team. He had a profound conversation with Ferguson and said excitedly: " He is the ideal manager for our Manchester City!"

"No matter what, we must invite him over!"

"Only he can lead us to the rise of Manchester City, compete with Manchester United and all Premier League teams!"

At the Bayern headquarters in Munich's Sebenastrasse, the Bayern Big Three also watched the game, and they were all very surprised.

They never thought that Naples could eliminate Manchester United in the semi-finals.

Gao Shen actually defeated Ferguson in this kind of direct dialogue, which is enough to prove Gao Shen's coaching level and the competitiveness of the Naples team he brought out.

What's even more commendable is that there are still many players in this Naples team with outstanding strength, which is hard to put down.

"Such a head coach should not stay in Naples anymore!" Beckenbauer said with full appreciation.

"He should go to a broader stage to further improve his professional achievements, for example, the wealthy!"

Rummenigge and Hoeness also nodded.

Bayern has been paying attention to Gao Shen, but they are also worried about his age and experience, so they had contact with the head coach of Alkmaar in the Eredivisie, Van Gaal, and both sides had a very in-depth discussion, but now, Gao Shen leads Naples to kill Entering the Champions League final, and possibly even winning the championship, this surprised Bayern's Big Three, but also changed their minds a bit.

If Naples wins the championship, it will be a top coach in Europe with two Champions League champions in hand!

Among the active head coaches in European football today, only Ferguson and Ancelotti have achieved such achievements.

If Gao Shen can do it, it will be amazing!

"We should reconsider," Beckenbauer suggested.

Both Rummenigge and Hoeness nodded in agreement.

Far away in Madrid, Florentino had just watched the second leg of the Champions League semi-final match, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

He found that he seemed to have made a major mistake.

In other words, he still underestimated Gao Shen.

Barcelona has performed very strongly in La Liga this season. Whether it is Real Madrid or other teams, it is difficult to compete with Barcelona.

In this case, Florentino's re-entry to Real Madrid must be a direct confrontation with Barcelona.

Florentino thought of superstars, but he knew that he would not agree with his advanced recruitment strategy, or he would not agree with all of them, so he wanted to do things first.

But now it seems that he has made himself passive instead.

Now, what is he going to talk to Gao Shen about?

If Gao Shen really won the Champions League, would he still care about coaching Real Madrid?

The gold-medal coach who has won the Champions League twice will be invited by Real Madrid, and even Florentino will come to invite him in person.
