Tony Leung Ka Fai in the movie "Chill" has this classic line: Every organization, every department, every position has its own rules of the game, whether it is overt or covert, the first step is to learn it.
However, many people died before they got to this point. Do you know why?
opinionated!
…
In fact, this sentence is correct, but it is not completely correct.
This is an era of division of labor and cooperation. From a small person to a large country, everyone must find their own position.
But why is it wrong?
Because times will change.
Just like in the movie, Li Wenbin was unable to be promoted to the number one brother in the police force like the tradition in the past. In the end, times have changed and the requirements for the first brother are different. Liu Jiehui is more suitable for the requirements of the first brother in the new era.
This is true within the system, this is true in enterprises, and it is true in the football world.
Osasuna, for example, has never been positioned for the Champions League or even the UEFA Cup. They just want to stay in La Liga.
From this point of view, how can we get low cost?
Because running a football club has never been a profitable business.
Because of this, when they invited Gao Shen to coach, what they wanted was to use Gao Shen's connections in Real Madrid to rent young players from Real Madrid in a more cost-effective way to improve the team's strength in the short term.
As for the long term?
This has never been something teams like Osasuna would consider.
Are you short-sighted? Are you a coward?
It is indeed short-sighted and cowardly, but this is Osasuna's position in La Liga.
For the same reason, there are many such teams in Serie A.
For example, Ascoli.
Since being promoted to Serie A in 2005, this team has had only one goal, and that is to survive through hard work.
They want to stay in Serie A!
On this basis, how can we save money?
Therefore, in the second round of the Coppa Italia against Naples, among the eleven starting lineups, they included four loan players, two of whom came from the Juventus youth training.
You know, at this moment Juventus is in Serie B, which is lower than Ascoli.
There is also a veteran, former Inter Milan main player and Italian international, Pagliuca, who is forty years old.
The most valuable player on their team is the Croatian high center forward Bijelanovic who was transferred from the relegated team Lecce last season for less than 2 million euros.
Head coach Texel just wants to rely on such a lineup to avoid relegation.
In the last round, they beat their opponents with six goals, and they secured the victory with two goals from Paolucci, who was on loan from Juventus.
In this game, facing Naples, Texel still wanted to copy the previous game and continue to form a 4-4-2 formation, with two high center forwards, Paolucci and Bijelanovic, in front of him in an attempt to intimidate.
Stay in the defense of Naples.
Unexpectedly, Naples did not give them such a chance at all.

“goallllllllllllllll!!!!!!”
“Hamsik!!!!!”
When the game progressed to the 23rd minute, Gervinho made a breakthrough on the left and passed into the penalty area. Cavani used his body to hold the central defender Lukavic, but his shot was interfered and he was defended.
The player kicks the ball first.
Lukavic's kick to clear the ball also failed to hit the ball hard, and the kick fell to the left of the penalty spot in the penalty area.
Hamsik quickly stepped in, got ahead of everyone, and shot straight through Ascoli's goal.
One to zero!
The Slovak players turned around excitedly and rushed out of the stadium.
This is his goal in two consecutive Italian Cup rounds.
But this time, the fans at the San Paolo Stadium in Naples all remembered his name. More than 50,000 Naples fans roared crazily in the stands and shouted his name in unison.
“Hamsik!!!!!”
This goal came very suddenly, but it was inevitable.
From the beginning of the game, Napoli launched a fierce attack and attack on Ascoli.
Especially the pressing and pressing in the midfield and frontcourt are very powerful.
Unlike Frosinone before, Ascoli's defense was tighter. As a result, although they were at an absolute disadvantage on the scene, their defense was well organized and did not allow Napoli to easily knock on the goal.
They even organized two threatening counterattacks, resulting in shots.
However, no matter how tight the defense was, cracks eventually appeared under Naples' repeated attacks.
After high-fiving and hugging his teammates on the sidelines, Hamsik ran to the home team's coaching bench and high-fived Gao Shen, who bent over and stretched out his hand, before running back to the court.
"Well done, Marek!" After high-fiving, Gao Shen raised his hands above his head and clapped vigorously.
The scene was already filled with thunderous applause.
One to zero, Naples takes the lead temporarily!
…
The game restarted soon.
Naples basically still used the same lineup from three days ago, and Gao Shen only made some adjustments in local positions.
For example, he replaced Bonucci with David Luiz.
This Brazilian central defender has better footwork and better physical fitness, but he also has the unrestrained and impetuous characteristics of Brazilian players.
By the way, his long pass is pretty good.
Gao Shen has actually been trying. David Luiz and Bonucci are both good at playing the ball in the midfield and have excellent long passing ability. This will be a very important weapon for Naples.
But for now, he hasn't used it well yet.
His most important task now is to get the team into shape as soon as possible and then slowly tap into more potential.
On the right back, Gao Shen arranged for captain Montevino to start and let Gergi Garik rest.
Montevino is a versatile player who can play multiple positions in the midfield and defense. Gao Shen has repeatedly tried many players' positions before, and Montevino performed well as a right back.
Of course, it's just okay.
"There are still some problems with our pressing and pressing," Gao Shen said with a frown.
Carlo nodded, "The problem is in the midfield."
Neither Biglia nor Rakitic are defensive midfielders in the traditional sense. On the contrary, they have always been technical players.
But Gao Shen insists on using them as defensive midfielders.
It’s not impossible, it’s just that they are not used to it yet.
The reason why Gao Shen made such an arrangement was not entirely unreasonable. He had talked with Biglia and Rakitic. The reason for doing this was to hope that they would become midfield passers who could do physical work and be disciplined in tactics.
If we look at it by the standards of 2021, it is to try to be on par with midfielders like Modric, Toni Kroos, Xavi and Iniesta, also called technical barbarians in the midfield.
However, the pressing of these two players is not very good, especially the position, movement and distance are not good enough.
"After we go back, practice half-court six-on-seven." Gao Shen warned.
"Six versus seven?" Carlo was a little surprised. Does this have any effect?
The so-called six-on-seven actually means that in half the court, six players take the ball to attack and seven players organize the defense.
Is this too easy?
And, what does this have to do with training Rakitic and Biglia?
Gao Shen nodded and added: "There is no goalkeeper for the seven people."
Carlo was obviously stunned. How could this be done without a goalkeeper?
But his training experience was extremely rich, and he immediately thought of profound intentions.
All training is carried out in simulated field situations and has a strong purpose.
Then Gao Shen arranges six versus seven, and there is no goalkeeper on the seven-man side. What is the purpose?
It's very simple. There is no goalkeeper in a seven-man team. No matter how good they defend, what's the use?
As long as the six players get the ball, they will shoot from long range whenever they have the chance. As long as they shoot over, they will hit each one accurately.
Therefore, the seven-man side must change its defensive thinking and press as much as possible to prevent the opponent from taking long shots. Otherwise, stop playing and just surrender.
To put it bluntly, Gao Shen just wants to train the seven-man team's overall oppression.
"I understand, I'll make the arrangements." Carlo's eyes changed again when he looked at Gao Shen.
Although it may seem like just canceling a goalkeeper in regular training, in fact, there are still many problems involved.
Gao Shen can always come up with some weird but targeted training methods.
For example, the game of heading the ball is actually very effective in cultivating players' tacit understanding.
When Carlo turned around, Gao Shen happened to look back at him.
With Carlo here, it is really much easier to master the advanced level.
Many times, for many things, he only needs a word, and Carlo will understand what he wants to do and what goal he wants to achieve, and then he will arrange everything, including training, properly.
This is much easier to use than Maqueda when he was at Real Madrid.
Speaking of which, that guy called Lucas a few days ago and asked if Gao Shen still had a place here.
But it's a pity that Gaoshen's place is already full.

…………
When the game was about to enter the 40th minute, Naples successfully stole the ball and launched another quick counterattack.
After Cavani returned to defense and stole the ball, Rakitic distributed the ball to the right. Sanchez advanced with the ball and forcibly broke through the opponent's left back, went down to the baseline and passed into the penalty area.
Hamsik and Gervinho rushed over and rushed into the penalty area, but Lukavic took the lead and headed the ball out of the penalty area, landing on the right side of the top arc of the penalty area.
Just when everyone thought that Naples' attack was about to come to an end, Cavani, who had just retreated to make a save, had already rushed to the landing point of the ball. His chest stopped, and he did not wait for the ball to hit the ground, nor did he let the defense
The player approached and fired a violent volley.
The ball went straight through Ascoli's goal with lightning speed and penetrated Pagliuca's goal again.
Two to zero!
The Uruguayan center clenched his fists and cheered excitedly, rushing to the sidelines to celebrate the goal.
Naples players also caught up one after another.
This is also Cavani's goal in two consecutive rounds of the Italian Cup.
No one could have imagined that this little-known young player from Uruguay would score consecutive goals when he first arrived.
More importantly, he also showed great diligence in the game, whether he was pressing forward or returning to defense, he was very active.
This made Texel very puzzled in front of the visiting team's coaching bench.
"Such an excellent player only costs 800,000 euros?"
