In the press conference room of the Sao Paulo Stadium, in front of two to three hundred media reporters, Gao Shen officially signed with Naples.
This not only received warm applause in the press conference hall, but could also vaguely hear the cheers of Naples fans outside the stadium.
Yes, after learning that the team signed a contract with Gao Shen today, many Naples fans spontaneously gathered outside the Sao Paulo Stadium to cheer for Gao Shen's arrival.
According to a report by a local media in Naples, this is the biggest superstar signed by Naples since Maradona.
"This is an exciting and exciting signing!"
After signing, Gao Shen was also interviewed by media reporters at the scene.
Although he is only 25 years old and facing two to three hundred reporters, Gao Shen has no stage fright at all.
When he was at Real Madrid, he had faced more and bigger reporters than he does now, and he was used to it.
Gao Shen first said that he was excited to coach Naples because this is a team with a glorious history. One of the greatest football champions in the history of world football, Maradona, was born here.
"When the club's driver picked me up at the airport and took me through the city center, he told me that this city still remembers Maradona. At that time, I was thinking, I want to be like Maradona.
, leaving good memories for this team and this city, this is why I came to coach Naples."
Gao Shen also denied that he had reached an agreement with Juventus after being asked by the media.
"Yes, I had contact with them, which is normal. I needed a job and several teams contacted me at the time, and Juventus also needed a head coach, but there were many differences between us.
Big differences, I prefer to build a strong team in my mind, so I chose Naples."
The implication is that Naples gave him enough respect and commitment.
"Mr. Gao, what did you promise to Naples?"
Gao Shen smiled at the reporter and nodded: "I know that when I was coaching Real Madrid, many people criticized my conservative football style and felt that I did not play passionately enough, but I want to say that this is a misunderstanding of me.
In fact, I have a heart for offensive football, so I came to Naples just to bring passionate offensive football."
Many media reporters at the scene applauded.
Everyone knows that Italian football has always been very conservative, and all head coaches who play offensive football often end badly.
So, the question is, what does it mean when Gao Shen chooses to play offensive football in Italy?
"It doesn't mean anything, I just want to challenge myself, because growing up, I have always felt that Serie A is the most difficult league in the world, and now, I want to hone myself and improve myself in this league. I believe,
As long as I can succeed in Italy, I can succeed in all leagues."
The audience burst into warm applause again.
Although it has experienced the Calciopoli, Italy today is still not like Serie A before Gao Shen traveled through time.
Standing in 2006, it is no exaggeration to say that Serie A is now recognized as the number one league in the world.
Gao Shen previously coached Real Madrid, which was full of superstars, but now Naples' lineup is really shabby. Media reporters are very worried about whether Gao Shen has enough ability to lead this team? Can Naples provide support?
De Laurentiis answered this question, saying that he would do his best to support Gao Shen.
"We have chosen the best head coach in the world, so naturally we have to give trust and support. We believe that he will be able to lead the team to Serie A!"
De Laurentiis also promised that Napoli's transfer budget will be as high as 20 million euros this summer.
This is an absolutely astronomical figure in Serie B.
Even if you join a team like Juventus, you can't spend so much money in Serie B.
After De Laurentiis and Gao Shen looked at each other and smiled, they said that this is not just for Serie B. "More importantly, we have a long-term plan. We also need to prepare and lay the foundation for the next Serie A."
Now even the media reporters were excited.
The newly promoted teams from Serie B actually want to prepare for Serie A. Should this be said to be because they are ambitious? Or is it that they are too ambitious?
Regarding the current situation of Italian football, Gao Shen said that he played against two of the strongest teams in Serie A last season.
"Capello and Ancelotti are both very good world-famous coaches, but I think Italian football needs to make some changes. Just like Sacchi said, Italian football's techniques and tactics need to change their thinking and break the barriers of the past.
.”
Gao Shen promised that he would bring higher intensity and more aggressive football.
"High intensity, high pressure, high aggression, while also being able to control the rhythm, ball possession and space. This is a very interesting direction, and I will work hard to move towards it."
Gao Shen made an appropriate comparison with De Laurentiis, building a team is like making a movie.
Before the film is completed, no one can know how high its standard will be and how much its final box office will be.
In the same way, the head coach is like a director. He can only control one direction, constantly adjust and repair, and check for deficiencies. But he cannot say with certainty what kind of football I want to play.
This is unrealistic.
Gao Shen now has a goal, an idea, and he wants to turn it into reality in Naples.
When asked by reporters, Gao Shen also revealed that he is not a so-called genius.
"Actually, I am very ordinary. Everything I have achieved comes from the support and trust of the players, assistants and management around me, and most importantly, the fans. So I really hope that I can continue to get all this in Naples.
I also firmly believe that I can succeed in Naples."
This season's Serie B is known as the most competitive Serie B in history, because there are not only giant teams like Juventus, but also Genoa, Brescia, Bologna, Lecce, Treviso and Piachen
There are traditional Serie A teams such as Chaga.
It can be said that the competition in Serie B this season is really fierce.
Gao Shen smiled confidently and said that he knew.
"I know that as a newly promoted team from Serie B, maybe I shouldn't say this, but I still feel that our goal is not to get promoted to Serie A."
As soon as Gao Shen finished speaking, the scene was in an uproar.
Don’t want a promotion spot?
De Laurentiis smiled because he guessed what Gao Shen was going to say.
"There are three places for promotion to Serie B. The top two can advance directly, and the third to eighth have the opportunity to participate in the play-offs. This is the rule of Serie B, but I think it is too cumbersome. I have been thinking about it for a long time and haven't figured it out.
, what the hell is going on.”
Many media reporters at the scene were a little amused. Is there anything you can’t understand about this?
The top two will advance directly. The third place can also advance directly if it is more than fifteen points ahead of the fourth place. If it is not ahead by more than fifteen points, then counting from the third place to the eighth place, all following
Those with a point difference of less than 15 points between the third place teams will all participate in the play-offs.
This is what Gao Shen said, third to eighth are all eligible to participate in the play-offs.
"Finally, I figured it out. Why do we need to figure out this complicated set of rules? We can make it simple and directly target the championship, so we don't have to worry!"
Everyone present fell down one after another.
Damn it, it turns out that I have said so much just for the last sentence.
Fortunately, there was an enthusiastic reporter who wanted to explain the Serie B rules to him just now.
It turns out that Gao Shen didn't understand, he was just pretending not to understand.
People who say they don’t understand are often the ones who understand best, and indeed, this is absolutely true.
But a newly promoted team threatened to win the championship, even though it was in Serie B, but it was really an exaggeration.
You know, Juventus is not weak at all and is even recognized as the favorite to win the Serie B championship.
Gao Shen said with a smile, "I don't know what other teams are like. I only know that in the new season, our Naples will only fight for the championship. Next season, we will appear in Serie A!"
"I hope that all Serie A teams can prepare in advance!"
Domineering! Mighty!
Everyone at the scene was shocked!
Is it really okay to be so scary when you first come here?
However, the media reporters were really excited.
The Italian football world is full of dull old men, who are mature and prudent, speak cautiously and without leakage, and it is not easy for them to even create news.
Look at the Premier League, Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho, which one of these guys doesn't talk all day long?
The British media are so happy, okay?
Let’s look at Italy. If it weren’t for the recent turmoil caused by the telephone scandal, it would be a backwater.
But now it's better, Gao Shen is here, and it's dawn for Italian media reporters!
…
"What you said just now is so domineering, I like it!"
After the press conference, De Laurentiis and Marino walked side by side on both sides of Gao Shen, and the Napoli boss said with a smile.
He himself is also a domineering and ruthless character, and he likes Gao Shen's attitude.
No matter whether the matter can be done or not, we should call it out first and then talk about it.
If you don't even dare to shout, what can you accomplish?
"To be honest, we really need slogans like this now to boost morale and gain more confidence," Marino said.
Gao Shen nodded, this was one of the reasons why he was so high-profile.
He is a double champion of La Liga and the Champions League, but Napoli's foundation is too weak. When recruiting players, those players will definitely be worried, especially some stronger players, who will definitely not want to stay in Serie B for too long.
Gao Shen's current shout was spread through the media and let everyone know that Naples' goal for the new season is to win the Serie B championship, which boosted the confidence of many players.
Serie A and Serie B are still different.
Many players can accept staying in Serie B for just one season, but they won't be able to accept it if they stay for a long time.
"I have a transfer list here. Take a look at it and sign in according to this list. We will keep in touch at any time." Gao Shen took out a list with the names of many players and their teams.
.
Marino was a little surprised. He didn't expect Gao Shen to be so well prepared.
After feeling De Laurentiis' gaze again, he nodded immediately.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to win these players."
Gao Shen nodded. There were still a few troublesome players, so he probably had to go there himself.
