Forty-year-old Diego Bortolucci has always been self-aware.
In the world of professional football, he has never been that kind of genius. Although he started out in Italy's youth training giant Atalanta and his career was mediocre, he played at least until he was 38 years old.
After retiring, he became a professional coach. He assisted the famous coach Guidolin in Palermo for two seasons and learned a lot. After Guidolin dismissed get out of class, he continued to assist his successor Baldini.
In 2005, he coached Treviso's second team alone, intending to survive the qualifications in an ordinary way, and strive for the opportunity to come out in a few years to coach a Serie B team alone. If it could be Serie A, that would be even better.
Yes, his idea was so simple at that time.
But fate played a big joke on him.
Treviso's first-team coach Rossi only led the team for twelve games before he was dismissed due to poor results. The person who put out the fire was the well-known Alberto Cavazin, the team's goal
It's to avoid relegation in Serie A.
At that time, everyone was full of confidence in Cavasin taking over the team.
But who would have thought that after fifteen games, Cavacin was helpless with the team's current situation and became Treviso's second head coach to be dismissed that season.
Although it's only February, Treviso has almost secured a valuable relegation spot in advance.
The results of Cavasin's team were even worse than Rossi's. Rossi scored six points in the eleventh round of Serie A, while Cavasin only scored eight points in the fifteenth round. This also caused Treviso's management to completely lose
Gained the confidence and motivation to stay in Serie A.
Everyone knows that Treviso's relegation has been decided.
In this case, the management hired Bortoruzzi, the head coach of the second team, and did not put too much performance pressure on him, but hoped that he could train the team's young players and prepare for returning to Serie A next season.
Prepare.
Bortolucci had no idea that the sudden pie would hit him on the head. Fortunately, he was always prepared, otherwise he would have been knocked unconscious. In the few months of fighting the fire in Treviso,
His results were similar to those of the previous two terms, but he promoted young players like Aqua Fresca.
This summer, Treviso is ambitious and wants to return to Serie A. Bortolucci has been trusted by the club management. They all hope that Bortolucci can stay on and continue to cultivate young players.
Bortolucci himself was ambitious.
He knew very clearly that the opportunity that countless people had dreamed of had finally arrived!
As long as he seizes the opportunity and brings Treviso back to Serie A, he will become famous, completely establish himself in the Italian professional league, and even gain a firm foothold in Serie A.
Forty years old, coaching Serie A alone, even though it is a relegated team, it is still amazing enough.
Bortolucci is also quite proud of this.
But unexpectedly, at the head coach summit in Rome, he met two more prominent figures.
Gao Shen and Deshang.
These two are also coaching Serie B and are both Champions League final-level coaches. Gao Shen even won the double.
Bortoruzzi is convinced of Deschamps because Deschamps was once a very successful star.
But what about profoundness?
Twenty-five years old, incredibly young.
The key is that Gao Shen also coached Real Madrid in late February, and Real Madrid at that time also happened to have fired two head coaches in succession. Even technical director Sacchi and chairman Florentino stepped down, and the situation was worse than that of Treviso.
More difficult.
But under such extreme circumstances, Gao Shen led Real Madrid to counterattack and win the La Liga and Champions League double titles.
But this season, the "world-famous coach" with the aura of double champion suddenly chose to coach Napoli, the newly promoted Serie B team, and threatened to build a strong Serie A team within three years.
In the eyes of outsiders, how courageous Gao Shen is!
But in Bortoruzzi's eyes, this is arrogance!
What does he think of Serie A? What does he think of Italian football?
At the head coach summit, the famous coach Sacchi criticized the conservative status quo of Italian football in his speech, believing that many people are complacent and still stick to the four-four-two. Even if they occasionally take the step of innovation, many of them adopt
Conservative tactics, such as 4321 or 4312.
Sacchi called on Italian coaches to learn from their masters.
Bortolucci thinks, is Sacchi crazy?
Learning from a twenty-five-year-old rookie?
How did he win the double crown? Wasn't it just through the help of Real Madrid's superstars?
What's more, what's wrong with 442?
Bortoruzzi is good at using four-four-two, double forwards, what's the matter?
When he was in Rome, listening to Sacchi's high praise on the podium, Bortolucci had already made up his mind in the audience: he must be in the first round of Serie B, for himself, for his Italian colleagues, and for Italian football tactics.
Correct the name!
Why did Deschamps lose?
Because he only defends and does not counterattack.
Why wasn't there a fight back?
Because he used a lone striker, Bodinov couldn't do it!
If he had used two strikers, Trezeguet and Sarayeta, or even Del Piero, the situation might have been completely different.
Therefore, in the first round of Serie B away to Naples, Bortoruzzi continued to use a four-four-two double forward formation.
He wanted to completely unveil Gao Shen's emperor's new clothes in front of everyone.
…………
…………
September 9th, 15pm.
In the first round of Serie B, the whistle blew on time for Naples' match against Treviso.
Affected by the two weeks of national team matches, Naples' formation has encountered considerable challenges.
The goalkeeper is still Handanovic. Interestingly, this player was loaned to Treviso last season.
On the defense line, Vargas returned to China to compete, so Gao Shen chose Savini as the full-back. The center backs were Bonucci and David Luiz, and the right wing used the more offensive Grava.
The double defensive midfielder has not been adjusted. Biglia continues to partner Rakitic, with Peel, Hamsik and Gervinho in front, and Pellet as the center.
South American players including Sanchez, Di Maria, Cavani and other players participating in the national team or the national youth team have all been hidden under the snow to allow them to have a good rest.
In the words of his private communication with the players: Killing a chicken with a butcher's knife.
…
For the first thirty minutes, the game was very stalemate.
Treviso's defense is still very good, especially the 4-4-2, and the three lines are maintained very carefully.
This also proves once again that Italian head coaches really have their own unique skills in training defense.
Gao Shen has learned a lot from his opponents and seniors during this period.
But the main reason is that Naples has problems with its own offensive organization.
Gervinho used to be an offensive partner with Vargas on the left. Now he has switched to the right to partner with Grava. This must be adapted. It is also the first time for Pierre to start in an official game and partner with his teammates.
some problems.
But on the scene, Naples left almost no chance for Treviso.
Bortoruzzi also discovered during the game that it wasn't that Deschamps' team couldn't counterattack, but that Naples' suffocating high pressure didn't give their opponents a chance to counterattack.
In the past, they would grab the ball, organize it slowly, and then counterattack.
But Naples now counterattacks as soon as the ball is lost, counterattacks as soon as the ball is won, and plays at a fast pace.
If it weren't for Napoli's own mistakes in passing and receiving, Treviso wouldn't know what he was doing.
Even so, in the 30th minute, Naples took the lead in breaking Treviso's goal.
Gervinho dribbled the ball from the right and forced a breakthrough, rushed to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, and passed the ball across to the goal.
Pellet, who followed up in time in the middle, took the lead and sent the ball into Treviso's goal before the opponent's central defender.
One to zero!
…
After scoring a goal, Naples became more motivated and launched a continuous offensive against Treviso.
Bortoruzzi is really anxious!
He found that the situation was completely different from what he imagined.
Just when he was anxious and wanted to adjust the team's tactics during the halftime break, in the 43rd minute, Naples launched another wave of attacks. After Peel created a breakthrough on the left, the ball was transferred to the right.
Grava suddenly stepped in from behind and broke into the penalty area. After receiving Hamsik's pass, Naples scored another victory, 2-0.
In just ten minutes, Napoli scored two consecutive goals and established an advantage in the first half.
During the halftime break, Treviso clearly strengthened its defense.
Bortoruzzi replaced an offensive player with defensive midfielder Baumsson and adopted a three-midfielder tactic.
But this still couldn't stop Naples.
In the 56th minute, a long pass came from Bonucci in the backcourt. Pellet grabbed the first goal. After heading the ball to Hamsik, he turned around and moved forward quickly.
Hamsik understood the idea and sent a through ball after stopping the ball.
Pellet succeeded in countering offside, and after stopping the ball, he formed a single shot and easily hit the shot, three to zero!
The entire San Paolo Stadium went completely crazy!
All Naples fans sang and danced to celebrate the victory in advance.
But on the court, Naples' offensive continued.
In the 76th minute, with a corner kick opportunity, David Luiz overwhelmed many defensive players and hit the goal with a header from close range, giving Naples another victory, 4-0!
The Brazilian central defender rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. After a round of venting, he even ran to the home team's coaching bench, high-fived and hugged head coach Gao Shen. He thanked Gao Shen for his trust in him and continued to let him start today.
"David, I think you should grow your hair long, like a pompadour. It must be very handsome and cool, and more importantly, it must be more explosive when heading the ball." Gao Shen suggested with a smile.
He is looking forward to David Luiz leaving a bird's nest and completely transforming into a Super Saiyan.
Unexpectedly, David Luiz was really moved after hearing this.
"Boss, you have a good idea. I'll start growing my hair today." After saying that, he made a fist gesture toward Gao Shen, as if to say: Just wait and see.
Gao Shen had a look on his face.
David Luiz with the afro is more pleasing to the eye, and the Brazilian with short hair is quite elegant.
When the game reached the 89th minute, substitute Darabona scored Naples' fifth goal.
This was so unexpected that even Darabona himself probably didn't expect it.
He just casually swung his kick and got in.
Can this all score a goal?
Gao Shen could only shake his head with a wry smile. The kick was really smooth, no matter how hard he kicked, he could do it.
