The sun was setting in the west, the day's training session was over, and the training ground at Fort Volturno was not quiet.
Many players spontaneously chose to stay for additional training, and the coaching staff also stayed on the training ground.
In the next two days, they all have an important task: to open a small stove for Pellet.
Before the afternoon training session, Gao Shen asked the defensive players to sign up on their own. As a result, all the young players chose to stay.
This group of young guys have endless energy in their bodies. Even though the training sessions in Naples are very intense, after a short rest, they are immediately full of energy again.
Gao Shen defended with David Luiz, Bonucci and Vidal, while Pellet and four other teammates were responsible for passing the ball.
This is the five-on-three training proposed by Gao Shen and improved by Carlo and Borrell, which focuses on strengthening the simulation of the real situation of the game, especially the key marking that Pellet will encounter in the game.
The training was conducted by Borrell, but the results were not very satisfactory and were full of mistakes.
But gradually, the players and Pellet who participated in the training gradually entered the state.
"Pellet, pay attention to your footwork when stopping the ball and try to stop it with one kick."
"You must predict in advance, design passing routes, and pay attention to movement. Not only should it be convenient for you to pass the ball, but also for your teammates to pass the ball. You are a transfer station."
"The purpose is too strong, it needs to be a little confusing."
"Gervinho, your passing line is too obvious, give it a little more margin."
"You have to run in a roundabout way. Although a straight line is the shortest, it is easy to be followed. You have to run in a roundabout way."
"Okay, this cooperation is very beautiful."
The training ground was filled with Borrell's shouts. He was constantly directing the players and adjusting their training.
Even occasionally when the problem becomes serious, he will directly stop the training, indicating that there is a problem with the passing route and running route of the players, and how to run, how to pass, and how to confuse the opponent when encountering a certain situation.
Many times, these are just small, inconspicuous details, but they play a crucial role.
Gao Shen, Carlo and the coaching staff were watching the training from the sidelines. Pellet's foot skills are not a problem. The key is that he is not very familiar with this style of play and needs some time to change.
But he adapted quickly and made significant progress.
This is not surprising. If you go in the right direction, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
While training Pellet, he is also training other players.
For example, once, Pelle ran out to receive the ball. After Rakitic passed the ball to his feet, he turned his back to the direction of attack, but stopped the ball before Bonucci, blocked the Italian central defender with his body, and blocked the ball with his heel.
The ball hit the penalty area.
This was Pellet's flash of inspiration.
But at the same time, Gervinho cunningly deceived Vidal and used a circuitous running route to return to the unguarded space behind him to catch the ball, winning rounds of applause.
If it were in a game, this would probably be a one-shot.
Not to mention the teammates watching from the sidelines, even Gao Shen and members of the coaching staff gave him warm applause.
"So handsome, Graziano!" Gao Shen looked like a die-hard fan and shouted loudly.
He never hesitates to give players praise, even slightly exaggerated praise.
Who allowed these young people in their early twenties to do what he did?

"Do you think the game against Juventus will be broadcast live on TV?"
After the training session, the players were all in the locker room. Some were taking a shower, some were getting dressed, some were sitting there naked and sending text messages, and some...
Only Bonucci has been sitting in his seat since he came in, thinking about such a problem.
The rumors outside can be said to be all kinds of things.
The game was held at the San Paolo Stadium in Naples. This stadium can accommodate 55,000 people. It has always been the home of Serie A and has the conditions for live broadcast.
After Naples drew Juventus, there have been rumors that the broadcasters intend to broadcast the Italian Cup in advance, and the first game will be Naples' home game against Juventus.
The reason is also very simple, this game has attracted a lot of attention.
Not only fans of the two teams, but also many neutral fans are paying close attention.
To put it bluntly, Juventus was downgraded, but it was still a giant in the eyes of many, and Gao Shen came to Italy with his eyes on the aura of winning the La Liga and Champions League double titles. It was surprising enough to coach Napoli, and he had played against Juventus before.
There were a lot of quarrels.
This game can be called the most watched focus game in the Italian Cup so far.
"Do you want to live broadcast? Or not?" David Luiz just came out of the shower, grinned and asked with a smile.
Bonucci raised his head. Under the light, the nineteen-year-old face was green, with very short hair, fair and beardless, like a green fruit that had just grown and was far from mature, but he
There was a desire in his eyes that was incompatible with his age.
"Last season, I only played three minutes in Serie A. No, strictly speaking, it was more than two minutes."
As soon as Bonucci finished speaking, David Luiz and others who were originally cheerful were a little surprised and stopped joking.
"Injured?" David Luiz asked with concern.
Bonucci shook his head, "When I joined Inter Milan, I signed a contract with them. There were clauses in it that required me to play in Serie A. So, they substituted me in the stoppage time of the last round.
"
Everyone was stunned.
This is indeed a bit shocking.
Either you just don't let him go, why do you have to give him so much time?
Isn't this clearly humiliating?
But, there are really many things like this.
Bonucci is not the first, nor will he be the last.
Paulo Cannavaro is the big name in the Naples team, because he has played the most games in Serie A, and he also has an older brother who is the world's top central defender, so he is the captain of Naples.
Regarding Bonucci, Cannavaro Jr. is actually quite optimistic. His physical condition and all aspects are good, his skills with his feet are good, his passing ability is strong, and his long passing skills are really good.
But everyone knows that the key for an Italian central defender is to be able to defend, and Bonucci is indeed not good enough in this regard.
"You guys, Juro is still young. The most important thing now is to improve your strength."
After a pause, Cannavaro said with emotion: "Although I have only been in contact with him for more than a month, I cannot say that I understand him very well, but at least I have some familiarity. Our head coach is very enterprising, and you can see that.
, he is cultivating you as a baby, he wants to prove himself in Naples, and you are the way for him to prove himself."
"Both our head coach and coaching staff are very capable. You are so lucky!"
Cannavaro Jr.'s words were nodded in approval by everyone in the locker room.
Whether the head coach is capable or not, they are in contact with each other every day and know better than anyone else.
Not to mention anything else, look at his training and help for Pellet, look at his creation of the team's overall tactics, and think about his daily communication with the players, everyone in the team has a great impression of him.
very good.
Of course, I heard that when he gets angry, he can be quite cruel.
This was revealed by Lucas, the analyst of the coaching staff, who said that when the head coach got angry, even superstars such as Ronaldo and Zidane remained silent and did not dare to move.
Fortunately, they haven't encountered it yet in Naples.
"Paul, I have always had a doubt, why did you choose to return?"
Taking advantage of the rare opportunity to start a conversation, many people dared to ask this rather sensitive question.
Paulo Cannavaro was Parma's main defender last season, but he chose to return to Naples in Serie B. This is unreasonable. It is unrealistic to say it is for money.
After all, in Serie A, he will definitely earn more.
Little Cannavaro looked around and found that everyone was full of doubts. It was obvious that they had been thinking about this issue for a long time.
"It's very simple, this is my hometown, I made my debut in Naples."
This is no secret, even Cannavaro, the backbone of the Italian national team's defense, made his debut in Naples.
"I still remember that I was only seventeen years old when I entered the first team. The team had just been relegated from Serie A. Everyone was ambitious to help the team return to Serie A, including me. This was my biggest wish at the time."
“That season, I only played two games in Serie B because I was too young and didn’t help the team, so after the season, I went to Parma and waited for opportunities there, and Napoli came after me.
The next season they were promoted to Serie A, but not long after, the team went bankrupt."
When he said this, Cannavaro let out a sigh of regret and said with a bitter smile: "You must not understand what a tragic disaster this is for Naples fans, because just ten years ago, it
It is still the strongest team in Italy, and there is Maradona who is dazzling all over the world."
"Some things can only be cherished after they are lost, and some wishes must be fulfilled by one's own hands to bring peace of mind." Little Cannavaro said lightly.
Naples certainly gave him a lot of money, but this is certainly not the decisive factor in Cannavaro's return.
Even, it was inappropriate for him to give up the main central defender in Serie A and return to Serie B. The main reason was to help this team return to Serie A and fulfill his unfinished wish back then.
"We will definitely succeed!" Sanchez said firmly, "I believe in the boss!"
"Me too, we will rush to Serie A!" Rakitic also said with confidence.
"In the entire Serie B, if we can't make it to Serie A, it will be even less possible for other teams." This is David Luiz's typical tone.
"I believe it too!" Little Cannavaro said with a slight smile, "That's why I'm back!"
A simple sentence, but there are many stories behind it.
"We want to rush to Serie A, and we want to defeat Juventus in the game the day after tomorrow. We want to use this game to make all those who doubt us know us again, especially for our head coach!" Canava Jr.
Luo said in a deep voice.
"He has always stood in front of us and shouldered all the doubts, and now, we should reward him!"
"Start by defeating Juventus!" Sanchez said fiercely.
"Yes, starting from defeating Juventus!" Everyone else responded in unison.
