"Thank you, Mr. Iaconi, for playing a wonderful game at the Stadio San Paolo."
After the game, at the entrance of the players' tunnel, Gao Shen greeted Ivo Iaconi with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Frosinone's head coach's old face looks like pig liver.
This was a complete disastrous defeat, both in terms of the game process and the result.
But what embarrassed Iaconi the most was the various arrangements and arrangements he made before the game.
For example, belittling Gao Shen in the locker room and giving Gao Shen a look before the game.
He has to be grateful that the Coppa Italia was not broadcast live on TV, otherwise, his ugly behavior would have been completely exposed to the entire Italian media and fans.
"Congratulations, you won!" Iaconi finally put away his arrogance and stretched out his hand to shake Gao Shen's hand.
Gao Shen is even younger than most of the players on his team, which makes Iaconi feel incredible.
In fact, he was really curious, how did Gao Shen think of adopting such a tactic?
But he refused to ask.
But one thing he can be sure of is that Gao Shen is definitely not a parallel import.
On the contrary, he has his own very unique and advanced tactical concepts.
…
After a few simple conversations, Iaconi left.
Gao Shen didn't make things difficult for him.
After winning the competition, people have to find a place to cry and hide away from the embarrassment, right?
If you win the game and still embarrass others, isn't this not giving people a way to survive?
No matter how you look at it, Gao Shen is not such a person, right?
Just add insult to injury and retaliate, that's all.
"Is he convinced now?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.
Carlo, Lucas and Buenaventura all laughed.
"How about I catch up and ask for you?" Lucas was the most active.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't come back until we get the result." Gao Shen pretended to be serious.
Lucas immediately begged for mercy. Dare he ask?
They were beaten to a pulp by the players of Iaconi and Frosinone in every minute.
Everyone was also amused.
After winning, especially such a big win, everyone is in a very good mood.
Gao Shen looked at his five right-hand men, stretched out his hand, shook hands and hugged them one by one, and thanked them for their hard work and dedication over the past month.
Although it is the first year of cooperation, everyone's abilities have been demonstrated during this time.
For example, Carlo is really good at leading team training and player management. Naples currently has mainly young players, which just suits Carlo's appetite.
Buenaventura took over the challenge given by Gao Shen and strived to make all Naples players run more than ten kilometers per game in the new season. Serie B has forty-two games in a season. This challenge
quite big.
But if it succeeds, Buenaventura's performance in physical training will be even higher.
The same goes for people like Lopis and Borrell.
The effect of many things cannot be seen yet, or the effect is not very obvious, but if it continues for a long time, it will gradually become apparent, such as Naples' one-kick kick and quick passing and cutting.
Whether it is as small as a person or as large as a team, temperament is not something that can be achieved overnight. It takes a long time to slowly cultivate, accumulate and accumulate.
"To be polite, I won't say any more. Thank you for your hard work, everyone!" Gao Shen smiled at the coaching staff.
"There are still challenges ahead. Three days later, there will be another Italian Cup. Let's continue to work hard!"
The biggest challenge in the Coppa Italia this season is the schedule.
Playing three consecutive rounds in one week is a huge challenge for any team, and it is also a single elimination match.
In other words, you have no way of knowing in advance who your opponent will be in the next round.
For example, now, after Naples eliminated Frosinone, the Italian Football Association will conduct the second round draw tomorrow.
Only after the results of the draw come out can we know who our opponent is, and there is no way to prepare and gather information in advance.
Moreover, the first round of the Italian Cup was not broadcast live on TV at all.
So now, Naples has a dark eye on its opponents in the next round.
…
When Gao Shen sent the players on the court back to the locker room one by one, club owner De Laurentiis also brought Marino over.
From the cheerful expression on his face, it is not difficult to see how happy he is at this moment.
This is the first game of the new season for Naples, and it is also the first game since Gao Shen coached Naples. De Laurentiis was very nervous before the game, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief now.
At the door of the locker room, he was full of praise for Gao Shen's coaching.
"I have no doubt now that you will be able to lead the team to Serie A and achieve success!" De Laurentiis smiled boldly, and Marino nodded along with him.
Gao Shen asked with a smile: "So, you still had doubts before the competition."
The smile on De Laurentiis' face faltered and he felt embarrassed, "It's still a little bit, this is human nature."
Marino on the side continued to look at his nose with his eyes, and his nose with his heart.
Sometimes he really admired Gao Shen. They were both wage earners, so why was there such a big difference?
It’s all my fault that I was deceived in the first place and agreed too readily, not being reserved enough!
Later, Gao Shen asked De Laurentiis to enter the locker room and meet the players.
The German guy was also a ruthless character, and when he praised people, he would talk endlessly, which made both Lucas and Buenaventura dumbfounded.
Only then did they begin to understand why Gao Shen chose to cooperate with De Laurentiis.
…………

Napoli beat Frosinone 6-0!
Gao Shen’s Italian debut was a huge success!
This attracted considerable attention in the media the next day.
Although the opponent's strength is not strong, at least it is a Serie B team, which is at the same level as Naples. It is quite difficult to win 6-0.
It is a pity that because the game was not broadcast live, many media did not know the process of the game at all. Otherwise, it is estimated that it would have triggered more discussions and attracted greater attention.
Even the local media in Naples put more emphasis on the team's offense when reporting, without conducting in-depth analysis, so that the outside world still didn't know much about the process of the game.
Some other games held at the same time also had great victories.
The one who scored the most goals was Ascoli from Serie A. This team, like Naples, beat their opponents 6-0. Even they were away from home, but their opponent was a team from the Third League.
Naples played at home and their opponents were stronger. In comparison, it was a draw.
Because of his advanced skills, there is another young coach who has attracted attention in Serie B this season, and that is David Ballardini. He is known as Sacchi's disciple and coaches Pescara.
In the first match of the new season, Pescara, coached by Ballardini, defeated Pavia 4-0.
It was the first Italian club Pavia that was later acquired by a Chinese consortium and is currently in the C-1 League.
Gao Shen has a close relationship with Sacchi. Ballardini is a disciple of Sacchi. The teams coached by the two of them both won their first games, which also attracted a lot of attention in Italian football.
Zeman, another attacking madman, encountered Waterloo in his first game as coach of Lecce.
Facing C1 team Cavese, Zeman's team had a shaky start and conceded two goals in five minutes.
Subsequently, although Lecce desperately attacked, they were unable to reverse the situation. In the end, they lost 1-2 away to Manchester United and the team had a bad start and was eliminated from the Italian Cup.
By the way, Osvaldo, who later flourished at Espanyol, Roma and Southampton, is now in Zeman's team and is still the main player.
Juventus challenged Martina in the C1 League away from home, and finally defeated their opponent 3-0 with goals from Marchionne, Bodinov and Nedvěd.
Gao Shen has specially arranged scouts to closely follow the situation of Juventus.
Deschamps' team adopts a 442 formation, with a combination of Sarayeta and Bodinov on the front line, Buffon, Nedvěd, Bilindelli, Chiellini and Lello Taglie, etc.
All the players started, and the overall strength can be regarded as crushing the opponents.
The score of 3 to 0 must have left some energy, after all, there is still a game in three days.
Since the first round of the Coppa Italia did not receive much attention, there was not much media coverage and the impact was limited.
…………
…………
After the first round of the Italian Cup, the Italian Football Federation immediately organized the draw for the second round of knockout matches.
The thirty-two teams that decided the winner in the first round were arranged to be randomly drawn, but this time Naples' luck was obviously not so good.
The opponent Naples drew this time was the Serie A team Ascoli, which beat its opponent with six goals in the first round.
Both teams won the first game 6-0 and met in the second round, which undoubtedly added more suspense to the game.
Ascoli's attacking power was evident in the first knockout round, and he is not weak.
Fortunately, Naples is still playing at home.
Ballardini's Pescara also met Atalanta of Serie A, also at home, and faced the same challenges as Naples, which were very difficult.
After all, they are in a league level apart from each other, and there is a huge gap in player strength.
Juventus had much better luck and met Cesena, a mid-table team in Serie B.
It is not difficult to see from this that in this Italian Cup competition format, luck is actually a crucial part.
A single knockout match, with such a hurried schedule, does not give you any time to prepare. The strength of the opponent will have a huge impact.
After Gao Shen learned that Ascoli was drawn in Serie A, he couldn't help but feel a sudden surprise.
He was mentally prepared, but he still felt a little uncomfortable when the Serie A team was chosen.
Fortunately, we didn't draw a strong team like Lazio, otherwise it would have been more difficult.
Gao Shen is not afraid of the strong teams in Serie A, but Naples has not yet been formed. Facing the strong teams in Serie A is indeed a disaster.
As for Ascoli, a team with Serie A relegation level, Gao Shen is eager to give it a try.
He told his players straightforwardly that this was a rare opportunity to practice.
"We can take a look at the level of the Serie A relegation teams during the game and be mentally prepared, because next season we will face Ascoli, even a stronger Serie A team than Ascoli.
