Five Hundred and Ten Big Trouble

Whether Guardiola will be entangled, whether he will change on the spot, these are beyond Gao Shen's control.

How Naples does it and does it well, this is a profound job.

The next morning, the team actually arranged a training, but the intensity was very light. Antonio Pintus was in charge. It was a set of muscle awakening training in the hotel gym.

In Pintus's words, it's more about waking up the muscles for tonight's game.

Gao deeply believed in his profession.

After the training, the team had a meal together, and after a short rest, they went to the conference room for a meeting.

This is the tactical meeting on the morning of the game.

Gao Shen still believes that Barcelona will still adopt a four-three-three tactic.

Abidal accumulated yellow cards and was suspended. Judging from the previous signs, Guardiola should choose to let Puyol play on the left.

Goalkeeper: Valdes.

Defense: Puyol, Pique, Yaya Toure and Alves.

Midfielder: Busquets dragged behind, Iniesta and Xavi centered.

Forwards: Henry, Messi and Eto'o.

This should be Barcelona's starting lineup.

Judging from Barcelona's current lineup configuration, even if Guardiola wants to change, it is estimated that it will be difficult to change anything new.

Three backs?

Come on, now Barcelona play three backs, this is courting death.

In the past period of time, Naples' training, targeted drills, and tactical discussions have also revolved around Barcelona's lineup. Gao Shen and the coaching staff have already conveyed all the details that need attention. players.

In this morning's meeting, Gao Shen mainly reminded again carefully what he emphasized and requested in the past, and at the same time, he also raised requirements for all players for tonight's game.

"This will be a very, very difficult battle. You must be mentally prepared. It will even be the hardest and most painful game you have ever experienced."

Gao Shen said with certainty.

Everyone knows that the stronger the opponent is, the more, bigger, and deadly problems he will expose.

Before entering the finals, no one knows what will happen to them, and everyone feels that they have a chance.

But on the football field, if you want to win, you have to rely on strength to speak.

Barcelona is the strongest team in European football this past season, not even one of them.

But Gao Shen told his players very clearly that Naples is also very strong and very good.

"In my mind, we are not losing to Barcelona at all, even stronger than Barcelona!"

When Gao Shen said this, his tone was very firm.

Looking at the current lineup of Naples, any fan who traveled from 2021 will not deny what Gao Shen said, but at the moment in 2009, Naples is too young and there are no superstars and cards.

But the Naples players were still moved by Gao Shen after hearing this.

If someone else said this, they would not believe it, but if Gao Shen said it, they would believe it.

"But I must also remind everyone that our strength is different from Barcelona's strength. We must choose to compete with Barcelona where we are best at, instead of fighting Barcelona where they are strongest. .”

The players nodded one after another, understanding the profound meaning.

"I hope you understand that in such a game, there are often many variables. We may concede the ball first, or even concede two goals at once, or something else, but no matter what extreme situation it is. We all have to keep in mind, hold our ground, calm our emotions, and face the game with calmness and reason.”

Naples is mostly young players, which has many advantages. For example, the physical fitness of Naples players will be more dominant, but it will also bring some disadvantages, that is, lack of experience.

Tonight's battle is the most important match in all of their careers up to now, and even in their lives.

It's like a lot of kids,

From kindergarten, to primary school to junior high school to high school, step by step, steadily, but they still feel nervous when they walk into the college entrance examination room.

Because this exam is really important to them!

For stars such as Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Henry and Eto'o, this is not the first time they have experienced such a crucial game, they can even play more important than the Champions League final, such as the European Cup final , or the World Cup final.

Their rich experience can ensure that they can handle any sudden changes in the game with ease.

"Although you can rest assured, I will still stand on the sidelines, watch you all the time, and fight side by side with you as usual!"

Gao Shen's last words reassured all the players present.

...

After the full team tactical meeting, Gao Shen called the players one by one to communicate.

But time is limited, he tries to communicate with each player as concisely as possible, and tries to get to the point.

One exception is Thiago Motta.

Among all the four-three-three tactics, the position of the single midfielder behind is very special.

Take Chelsea for example, Mikel's shortcomings are actually obvious, but no matter who the head coach is, he is a single midfielder.

There is also Manchester United, Carrick's strengths and weaknesses are also very obvious, but Ferguson has always entrusted him with important tasks.

To put it bluntly, it is because this position happens to be stuck at the key point of transition from offense to defense.

Now, the development trend of football tactics has become clearer and clearer, the concept of total defense is becoming more and more popular, and the division of responsibilities and roles on the field will become more and more detailed, but behind the details, there are actually Become more model lake.

Just like Barcelona's Messi, can you say what position he is?

Center? winger? front waist? Shadow striker? Almighty striker?

The answer is that he can do everything, he can even retreat to the midfield, and he can also be pulled to the wing as a winger.

Gao Shen has been carefully preparing for this game since reaching the final. Among the key points to restrain Messi, Thiago Mota's position is also crucial, but this player is from Barcelona, ​​​​and is Barcelona's youth. Xunzhi is also a Barcelona fan, and it is even rumored that he will return to Barcelona this summer.

As the head coach of the team, Gao Shen asked himself that the management of the team is in place and he knows the players well. However, he can't control whether the players' psychology will fluctuate and change in situations like Thiago Mota, and then affect his game.

In the tactical tactical system, the fourth position is very important.

He not only has to pay attention to Messi's retreat, but also Iniesta's forward penetration. At the same time, he is also responsible for sweeping in front of the defense line, as well as the threat of Barcelona's two wingers to the two ribs, and even Alves.

The Barcelona right back's offensive ability is also extremely strong.

Thiago Mota had a heavy task, so Gao Shen specially asked Biglia to withdraw to assist him.

And this player has not yet made a decision on whether to return to Barcelona.

This is actually something that makes Gao Shen very helpless.

Thiago Motta suffered a lot of injuries in his previous life. After leaving Barcelona, ​​he has been wandering all the time. From Atletico Madrid to Genoa to Inter Milan, he has never had any scandals with Barcelona.

But now, Busquets is still young, Yaya Touré is not stable enough, and Thiago Motta is in his prime, and his characteristics and abilities happen to have both the characteristics of Yaya Touré and Busquets at the same time. How could Barcelona not be tempted?

This is the reason for the big trouble now.

Gao Shen had talked with Thiago Mota a few times before, and now he talks about those words, mainly to understand Thiago Mota's current state of mind.

After all, he is twenty-six years old and a "veteran" who has been famous for many years. Thiago Mota is still in a good mood.

"Don't worry, boss, nothing will affect me on the field." Thiago Mota in turn reassured Gao Shen, saying that he could overcome it.

"As you told me before, even if you really want to return to Barcelona, ​​it must be more important to go back with a Champions League champion, and you won the championship only after defeating Barcelona, ​​right?"

At the end, Thiago Mota laughed.

Gao Shen listened, but he kept paying attention to Thiago Mota's expression and eyes, and he didn't feel relieved until he confirmed that the other party didn't seem to be cheating.

For Gao Shen, Thiago Motta respects and appreciates him from the bottom of his heart.

Although his tragedy started with being defeated by Gao Shen, his rebirth from Nirvana also began with Gao Shen.

When he was abandoned by Barcelona and he was almost desperate, it was Gao Shen who gave him trust, healed his injuries, and finally helped him return to the peak of his career step by step.

Without advanced, there would be no Thiago Motta today.

"Boss!" Thiago Motta's eyes turned red suddenly, feeling a little emotional.

"In this game tonight, I'm not playing for the team, not for the fans, not for myself. I will play for you. Thank you for your trust and care for me in the past two years. I will win this place for you no matter what. Champions League champion!"

Gao Shen was a little touched when he heard it, and quickly squeezed out a smile, pointed at Thiago Mota, and scolded him for pretending to be a fan.

The latter also burst out laughing.

Many times, a lot of things, a lot of feelings, just take care of yourself.

Men, it's a little gross to say it.

But at this moment, Gao Shen was really relieved of Thiago Mota.

"Come on!" Gao Shen patted Thiago Motta on the shoulder and encouraged him.

...

After seeing off Thiago Mota, Gao Shen suddenly felt his eyes were astringent.

Not only because of Thiago Motta's words, but also because he thought of Naples, the players in the team, and the past three years.

He is a human being, a living human being with feelings.

And this team was built by him with three years of time and painstaking efforts, bit by bit, from scratch.

He really has feelings.

Tonight was his last battle in Naples. Suddenly, Thiago Motta's words reminded him of this, and he was a little bit sad from it.

But he quickly cleared up his mood and took a few deep breaths in a row to calm down his emotions.

Whether it's the last game or the Champions League final.

Because of everything in the past three years, Gao Shen must win this battle tonight!

After the lunch break, Gao Shen finally welcomed an important guest.
