It was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night when I returned home from Fort Volturno to my home in the Bay of Naples.
After playing Juventus, the team interacted with the fans at the Sao Paulo Stadium for a while, and then celebrated in the locker room. De Laurentiis and Marino also came to the locker room to congratulate the team on their victory.
defeated Juventus and advanced to the fourth round.
Unlike the first three rounds, which were played within one week, the fourth round included the top eight teams in Serie A last season, so the schedule has to be postponed and is scheduled to be held in November, and the draw will be held in these days.
The team has plenty of time to prepare.
The next focus will be the Serie B season in the new season.
With three consecutive victories in the Coppa Italia, the team's morale is high, especially the 5-0 victory over Juventus at home, which has made everyone in the team very motivated and eager to compete in the Serie B in the new season.
Make a big move and break into Serie A.
Even after the Calciopoli incident, Serie A is still the world's number one league, a mini-World Cup, and the palace in the minds of countless professional players.
Gao Shen was also happy to see the team aiming for Serie A, and even encouraged them.
After finally returning to Fort Volturno, the team announced its disbandment and everyone dispersed their belongings.
The first round of Serie B of the new season will be held on September 9th. There are still two weeks to go, which is the national team match day in early September. Although Naples is in Serie B, there are also national teams and national youth teams in the team.
players, especially the National Youth Team.
Young people around the age of twenty are the age to join the national youth team.
Therefore, Naples training will also be greatly affected during this period.
But it's normal. You have to get used to this kind of national team recruitment in the future.
If you are in a wealthy team, there may even be a situation where the entire team is depleted.
Except for the players who have been transferred, other players basically stay and continue to participate in training, but Gao Shen will arrange holidays for them so that they can have a good rest, up to two days a week.
Therefore, the coaching staff still does not have to take a vacation.
Generally speaking, after entering the league schedule, it is like a plane soaring into the sky. It will not land unless it reaches the end point.
…
The homes of Gao Shen and the coaching staff are arranged in the Bay Area.
Many people brought their families with them, and Mrs. Carlo followed him to Italy.
Only Gao Shen and Lucas were alone. However, Lucas had a girlfriend not long ago, so he chose to rent a house by himself instead of sharing it with Gao Shen.
Therefore, Gao Shen was alone and lived luxuriously in a large double-story house halfway up the hillside in the Bay Area of Naples, overlooking the sea.
Although the area is large and there is a small courtyard, the rent is really cheap.
Lucas and others also live nearby, and Gao Shen can ride their car with peace of mind every day.
Having already taken a shower at Fort Volturno, Gao Shen went home and went directly to bed and entered the tactical library.
Normally, he always gets into the mood easily, but tonight he was very excited and could not calm down.
After exiting the tactical library, he picked up the mobile phone on the bedside and searched through the address book. After hesitating for a while, he finally called a domestic phone number.
"Hello." As soon as the call was connected, Su Qing's pleasant voice came from the other side.
"Are you asleep?" Gao Shen asked.
There was obvious silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and then Su Qing said in a tone of "I'm a little worried for you": "It's morning in China now, and I'm having breakfast in the school cafeteria."
Gao Shen was stunned and smiled bitterly.
is not that right?
Time difference.
"I was dizzy. I was too excited and didn't pay attention."
"Well, I saw it. It was published in many domestic newspapers. The radio in the school cafeteria was also playing just now. I also heard many classmates discussing it. It's a beautiful win." Su Qing said lightly.
She was always like this, as if nothing could arouse her interest, and she was always so calm and indifferent.
"I'm alone now, and suddenly I want to find someone to talk to."
"Well, I have time, you tell me." She said calmly.
Gao Shen suddenly smiled bitterly again, "Where should I start?"
"If you don't know what to say, just say what comes to mind."
So, Gao Shen chatted with her about the game that just ended.
It can be seen that Su Qing is not a football fan, or in other words, she does not know much about football, but she is a very qualified listener. She has always been like this since she was a child, and she can get along well with everyone.
Well, I can chat with anyone.
But there is always a sense of distance.
For some reason, Gao Shen felt at ease with her, because he knew that Su Qing would never tell anyone about him, so he could safely tell her what was on his mind, his thoughts, and even
out of your own ambition.
She would never laugh at him. Even when he made a wish that was very unrealistic and seemed ridiculous to him now, and even impossible to fulfill, she would listen seriously, nod, and then support it.
"By the way, what about you? What are your goals?" After saying all his thoughts, Gao Shen felt at ease.
"Me? It's nothing. I just plan to stay in the capital and take the civil service examination."
"Why? Doesn't your dad want you to go home?"
This time, Su Qing rarely answered calmly, but asked, "Don't your mother also want you to go home?"
Gao Shen laughed.
It turned out that Su Qing did not want to take the path her parents had planned for her.
In other words, she is also a bit rebellious at heart.
"Why do you want to take the civil service exam?"
"Is it not good?"
"No, it's fine. I'm just a little curious."
"Stability, but also want to challenge myself." Su Qing replied calmly.
Stability and challenge, these two seemingly contradictory choices, can often be combined into one.
The two chatted a lot, mostly with Gao Shen talking or asking questions, and Su Qing simply answered. Only occasionally when they talked about something, she would say a word or two casually.
For example, she said that she was interested in football and wanted to know more about it. Gao Shen shamelessly suggested that she watch more of her own games.
There is news that because of himself, the Serie B League will now be broadcast live in China.
After all, Chinese are the head coaches abroad, especially as Gao Shen is so popular now.
Another thing is to play more football games, such as live broadcast, football manager and so on.
"Especially Football Manager, you will like this game." Gao Shen strongly recommends it.
Interest is the best teacher.
Gao Shen also mentioned that domestic companies contacted him and wanted to talk about sponsorship, but he didn't have time to take care of these trivial matters yet, so he asked Su Qing to have time to help him research.
Su Qing didn't think much and agreed directly.
…
After chatting with Gao Shen on the phone for more than an hour, Su Qing went to class.
After she finished her morning classes, she went to the cafeteria to finish her meal at noon. Just as she was about to go back to her dormitory to rest, she received a strange phone call. The other party said she was a deliveryman from Goudong and asked her where she was. He said he had something for her.
of packages.
Su Qing was surprised, she didn't buy anything at all.
After meeting the deliveryman downstairs in the dormitory, I discovered that it was the latest flagship laptop worth nearly 30,000 yuan, and there were several genuine game discs, including Live, FIFA, Football Manager 05, and Champions Football Manager 05.
…
The delivery address is her dormitory, and her name and phone number are hers.
She didn't even have to guess who bought it, and a touching smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She just mentioned casually that her notebook was broken.

…………
Napoli beat Juventus 5-0!
This became the hottest news in Italy and even European football the next day.
Everyone is in disbelief about this match.
Although affected by the Calciopoli scandal, Juventus was sent to Serie B, although players sold for more than 80 million euros, although the overall strength is not as good as before, although...
But no matter what, Juventus will not be ravaged by a newly promoted team from Serie B.
After the game, head coach Deschamps received fierce criticism, believing that his formation and on-the-spot command errors caused a huge defeat for Juventus.
In particular, Juventus's sporting director Secco publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with this fiasco in an interview with Tuttosport, believing that the players did not perform to the level they should have.
"It's hard for me to believe that this was the Serie A championship last season!"
Yes, although the championship was deprived, Juventus did rank first in Serie A.
Secco believes that the team should take stock of this disastrous defeat, especially the coaching staff. Being eliminated from the Coppa Italia is not a disaster. The real disaster is that the team suffered such a disastrous defeat before the season.
"Someone must be responsible for this!" Seko said harshly.
In addition, the media praised Gao Shen and Naples more.
Although Naples invested 16 million euros in transfer fees and introduced many players, this is a newly promoted team from Serie B. It has only been established for two years and its strength is very poor.
But under the guidance of Gao Shen, this team played impressive offensive football in front of Juventus. This is definitely not easy.
Sacchi said in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport that Gao Shen used an impressive victory to prove that his success at Real Madrid was not an accident.
"I am very much looking forward to his coaching in Naples. I even believe that he can fulfill his promise and lead Naples to Serie A this season. I am also looking forward to seeing him lead Naples to Serie A next season!"
La Gazzetta dello Sport was also afraid of chaos. After publishing an article praising Gao Shen and Naples, he wrote another article to comment on the impact of this game, and even asked Serie A teams in it.
"Are you all ready?"
"Next season, Gao Shen will take his Napoli team to Serie A. Are you ready to accept their impact?"
Gazzetta dello Sport even believes that this will be the most anticipated thing in Serie A next season.
Even, "We are very likely to see Gao Shen and his Napoli completely subvert the strength structure of Serie A, and this will make Serie A more suspenseful and interesting."
"Gao Shen and his Naples are here, let's wait and see!"
