After the game, Gao Shen went to the visiting team's locker room, celebrated with the players, and then came to the post-match press conference. Before anyone could sit down, he heard the news that shocked him.
Although he previously teased Pioli as a head coach who quits midway, it has just entered December, isn't it too early?
But let’s not talk about it, it wouldn’t be surprising if get out of class ends...
It goes without saying how good Parma is. It can win four consecutive victories in the UEFA Cup. How can it not be too weak?
But it is an indisputable fact that this team's performance in Serie A is poor. They are now in the relegation zone. There are problems no matter how you say it. At least when Pioli is fighting on the third line, there must be problems with the formation.
It's just that the time and method of ending get out of class are a bit unpleasant.
Gao Shen is still wondering. He was just eliminated from the Coppa Italia 4-0, and was fired by the management in the blink of an eye, starting his glorious journey as a dismissed head coach. Will Pioli hold grudge against him?
When he coaches AC Milan in the future, will anyone say: Pioli? Oh, I remember, the one who was dismissed every time he coached after being beaten by Gao Shen...
Damn it, that’s really awesome.
Feeling secretly happy in his heart, Gao Shen remained calm on the surface and even defended Pioli from the bottom of his heart.
Gao Shen said that Pioli is a very capable head coach and Parma should give him more trust and support.
"Of course, I don't deny that there are indeed some problems in Parma now, but I believe that Pioli can solve them."
Gao Shen also mentioned that the core problem of Parma is not Pioli, because when he took over the team, it was already like this. As the team's head coach, Pioli can do very little.
The implication is that Pioli is taking the blame.
This is also the consensus of everyone.
With Parma's summer transfer going like this, who doesn't know what to expect?
It’s so believable. Will Cannavaro and Marchionne skip the UEFA Cup and play in Serie B?
Are they crazy?
But there is no way, the head coach is here to take the blame.
The key is that this pot is not carried out decently.
Gao Shen complained about Pioli and believed that the Parma management should not treat Pioli in this way.
get out of class is over?
No problem. I was willing to take over at the beginning. You agree with me. If you can’t bring out the results, I will admit it after class.
But can it be done in a decent way?
For example, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?
Can you stop being so impatient?
…
After saying a few words for Pioli, Gao Shen stopped and brought the topic back to Naples.
Gao Shen expressed satisfaction with this game. He felt that both the result and the process were impeccable.
"The players executed the tactics we deployed before the game very well."
Advancing to the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup is not an easy task for a Serie B team.
Although there are still four games left to play, judging from the results, Napoli is likely to be the only team in Serie B to reach the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup. Gao Shen expressed that he is very proud of this.
"I would like to say that my players deserve such an honor and they performed extremely well!"
Regarding the team's next goals, Gao Shen said that he has no specific requirements.
Naples is already satisfied with being able to advance to the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup. The team will work hard to move forward, but will not set a clear goal because that is not appropriate.
"I would say tonight's game gave us all a huge confidence boost."
"Before tonight, our several strong matches were all at home, and the outside world was quite skeptical about our results, but tonight, at the Tardini Stadium, we proved our ability with a victory.
strength."
"This will make us more confident! Give us the confidence to defeat all future opponents!"
"How far do you want to lead the team?"
"Ha, I really haven't thought about this carefully. Does the championship count? The Italian Cup champion."
Gao Shen asked in a joking tone, but the conference hall suddenly became silent.
champion?
Coppa Italia winner?
Your Serie B team wants to win the Coppa Italia? Are you sure you're not kidding?
Gao Shen sat on the stage and watched the reactions of everyone present. He achieved his goal and ended the press conference in a timely manner.
…………
…………
The next day, the Italian media swarmed in, all reporting on the fourth round of the Italian Cup.
Especially Gao Shen led Naples to defeat Parma 2-0 at home and away, and successfully advanced to this game.
The most important thing is that Gao Shen actually shouted after the game that he wanted to win the championship.
"We are confident to defeat all future opponents!"
"I want to win the Italian Cup!"
Media reporters did not report the entirety of Gao Shen's speech because it was too long. They only excerpted two sentences.
The first sentence sounds very arrogant and domineering, like a challenge to all Italian teams, especially the top giants.
The second sentence reveals his ambition and aims directly at the Italian Cup championship.
If this is a strong Serie A team, then forget it, but he is coaching a newly promoted Serie B team. Isn't this a joke?
When Napoli entered Italian football as a disruptor, the attitude of the Italian mainstream media was not good.
According to De Laurentiis, the media in the north and the media in Rome did not have a good impression of Naples.
Especially after Naples slaughtered Juventus 5-0, the media from Turin and Milan in the north went crazy.
Is this okay?
Naples is like a barbarian who breaks into other people's doors. Although it is often praised, it is also controversial.
For conservative Italians, they are still not used to the existence of Gaoshen and Naples.
Previously, when Naples defeated Bologna, many media were upset for Ulivieri and they could not win on the court. They accused Gao Shen of lacking respect for Ulivieri.
Gao Shen also felt very depressed about this. Ulivieri was the teacher of the Italian coaches, not mine. Why should I respect him? Besides, Gao Shen didn't disrespect him either. He just... beat him badly.
A little too late?
This doesn’t work either?
Then he has taught so many students, and in the Italian football world there are so many great talents, who will dare to compete with him in the future?
But according to the unspoken meaning revealed by the Italian media, local coaches can win, but foreign coaches cannot.
This really gives Gao Shen a headache.
Now, after Naples eliminated Parma, head coach Pioli was fired.
Good guy, Pioli is taking the blame for the Parma management, but the blame for his dismissal must be shouldered by someone higher up.
Why?
Who asked you to beat someone so badly? get out of class is over!
As for what Gao Shen said for Pioli at the press conference, the media never mentioned it.
In addition, the media also criticized Gao Shen's slogan of defeating all future opponents and winning the Italian Cup, believing that he was too arrogant.
"As a newly promoted team from Serie B, it is indeed worthy of praise to advance to the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup, but Gao Shen must clearly realize that all teams that have reached the quarter-finals are all the strongest teams in Italian football."
There were even media guests who directly spoke to Gao Shen during a TV show.
"Arrogant! Arrogant! Do you really think we have no one in Italian football?"
Anyway, overnight, the media went into a carnival!
…
"Don't look at them scolding me so fiercely. Do you believe it? If I get out of class, they will cry the most sadly."
Gao Shen woke up early in the morning and read the latest newspapers.
In addition to several local small newspapers in Naples, including La Repubblica, Gazzetta dello Sport, Gazzetta dello Sport, etc., they all criticized Gao Shen and believed that his remarks were inappropriate.
Faced with such overwhelming accusations, Gao Shen also reflected on it, but he didn't feel that he had said anything wrong.
This is what the media does.
Take a sentence out of context, intercept a certain sentence of yours, regardless of the cause and effect, and then use it to accuse you.
The point is, you don't have to refute it yet, because you did say it.
"But why do I feel that you have guessed that this will happen?" Guardiola said a little playfully.
Although the contact time was not long, Gao Shen had the impression that he would not make such a mistake.
Is he really just happy for a moment?
Lucas almost burst out laughing, which made Gao Shen feel a little embarrassed.
"Pep, he did it on purpose."
"On purpose?" Guardiola was surprised, but felt that this was a reasonable answer.
"The media wants to use him to gain sales and create momentum. He also wants to use the media to motivate the players in the team. He must set a higher goal for the team!" Lucas laughed.
He now admires Gao Shen more and more.
If nothing else, this way of fighting with the media is more professional than his intelligence job.
Gao Shen smiled and said nothing, he really thought so.
Setting goals for the team should not be blindly divorced from reality. It should be like hanging a carrot in front of the donkey's head, making it feel that it can get it if it sticks its head forward. This is the most motivating thing.
Naples is a group of young players around the age of 20, which is the fastest-progressing stage in a player's career.
To put it in cruder terms, this group of players must be killed and squeezed out of their last bit of potential.
And young players, who are you afraid of?
What happened to the top teams in Serie A?
Still beat him down!
Look down on our Naples, right?
After defeating all the strong Serie A teams like you, we, Naples, are the strongest!
Under such circumstances, Gao Shen would say that Naples can defeat all opponents and aim directly at the Italian Cup championship.
The media's doubts were already within his expectation.
It's okay, it's the problem if they don't question it.
Who would believe that a Serie B team is going to win the Italian Cup?
They are facing European football powerhouses like Milan and Roma. Can they beat them?
What Gao Shen wants is for them to question. The harder they question, the happier he will be.
Can this group of young players in Naples accept their doubts?
The louder the doubts outside, the more enthusiastic the young guys in the team become.
Who was not like this when they were young?
This is called: Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
As for how far Naples can go, who knows?
Anyone who has been in the workplace knows that if a leader doesn’t brag, is he still a leader?
The key question is not bragging, but whether the boast you brag can be realized.
