Winter goes to spring and summer solstice comes, time flies by and the years fly by.
As the Serie B season continues, more and more Italians realize that the disastrous defeat against Inter Milan was really not a disaster for Naples.
On the contrary, it is more like a nirvana and rebirth.
≡After the disastrous defeat, Naples showed an almost crazy explosion.
When everyone thought that Naples would be depressed for a while after losing to Inter Milan 0-3, Naples defeated Verona 3-0 at home in the 21st round of Serie B.
Later, in the second leg of the Italian Cup semi-finals, they tied Inter Milan 1-1 at home.
The situation was still very passive, and Naples still didn't play very well, but in the end they tied with Inter Milan thanks to Pellet's assist to Gervinho's goal.
With a score of 1 to 4, Naples was eliminated from the Italian Cup, but at least one goal was scored. At the post-match press conference, Gao Shen stated in a high profile that Naples would try its best to impact the Serie B league.
Moreover, after being promoted to Serie A next season, Napoli's goal is directly to win the championship!
"We want to become the darkest dark horse in the history of Serie A!"
"I will lead Naples and completely overthrow the dynastic rule of Inter Milan!"
Gao Shen's sonorous and powerful declaration received unanimous response from Chairman De Laurentiis and General Manager Marino.
The two Naples bosses have come forward to support Gao Shen's declaration, believing that Naples will soon get out of the shadow of defeat, focus on Serie B, and rush into Serie A as soon as possible.
Not only that, De Laurentiis also promised that after entering Serie A, the team will allocate funds and invest in transfer operations to further improve the team's overall strength, especially the shortcomings of the existing lineup.
Yes, that's the right back!
Napoli's right back has been outplayed more than once, and after entering Serie A, this position had to be strengthened. Gao Shen targeted Sampdoria's right back Maggio as his first signing.
But after contact, Marino regretfully said that the transfer would be difficult to carry out.
Sampdoria is a Serie A team after all, and Maggio is also Sampdoria's main player. How could he abandon Sampdoria and switch to Naples?
What's more, Sampdoria has also made it clear that it rejected Napoli's inquiry.
The second high-shen candidate is Dario Srna who plays for Shakhtar Donetsk, but this Croatian right back is highly used in the Shakhtar team, and the Shakhtar team is a strong team in Ukraine and can participate in the Champions League, so he is even more important.
A transfer to Napoli is impossible.
As for the offer, the miners almost without hesitation rejected the price inquiry from Naples.
This Ukrainian team is not short of money.
Although the signings did not go smoothly, Naples played an exciting offensive storm in Serie B.
Starting from the 22nd round, Naples played crazy victories one after another. They were unstoppable all the way and harvested results in Serie B crazily, beating all Serie B teams without the ability to fight back.
By the 30th round of Serie B, when Napoli defeated Albino Lefe 2-0 at home, the team had won ten consecutive games.
This not only shocked the entire Serie B league, but also shocked the entire Italian football world. Who would have thought that after being beaten 3-0 by Inter Milan, Naples would completely vent its anger on its Serie B opponents.
Moreover, the performance of Napoli's players is getting better and better, and the players are constantly improving.
In this ten-game winning streak, six of them resulted in more than three goals, and the defense only conceded four goals.
It is completely conceivable what a violent attack Naples played.
Even La Gazzetta dello Sport said that Napoli's crazy offensive has made the entire Serie B league in turmoil, and all teams feel in danger.
Juventus is considered to be the only team capable of attacking Naples in Serie B.
The third match between the two sides this season was in the 31st round of Serie B. Naples challenged Juventus away from home.
As a result, the Bianconeri, who had high hopes before the game, failed to defend their own goal at their home court.
Buffon fished the ball out of the goal three times in the game.
Less than ten minutes into the game, Pellet opened the scoring for Naples with a header. Before the end of the first half, Hamsik scored another goal to expand the score.
It was Gervinho's goal in the second half that completely helped Naples seal the victory.
Three to zero, Napoli defeated Juventus and won its eleventh consecutive victory!
This battle also made the entire Italian football world fully aware of the reality, that is, no team in Serie B can stop Naples!
Gao Shen can basically be said to have won the Serie B championship ahead of schedule.
With his outstanding performance in Serie B, Gao Shen not only attracted the attention of Italian football, but also the attention of the entire European football world. After all, he came to Serie B with the halo of a double champion.
Although they lost to Inter Milan in the Italian Cup semi-finals, their outstanding performance in Serie B made everyone look upon Gao Shen with admiration. Everyone began to believe that Naples, led by Gao Shen, would definitely have a chance to become the top team in Serie B next season.
The biggest dark horse is even darker than Juventus!
Gao Shen's early declaration of winning the Serie A championship next season once again aroused controversy and discussion.
According to the interpretation of the Spanish media, this is not the first time that Gao Shen has shouted a declaration, but every time he shouts a declaration, he will perform amazingly, leaving a deep impression on everyone. French L'Equipe even
Remind the Serie A teams: "You should pay attention, Gao Shen is coming!"
Kicker Magazine believes that next season’s Serie A will attract much attention and may even become more intense than ever.
Juventus returned, and Gao Shen rushed forward with Naples to disrupt the situation.
"Especially Gao Shen vowed to take revenge on Inter Milan, to win the Serie A championship and overthrow Inter Milan's rule. This will be a revenge story comparable to Hamlet!"
After defeating Juventus 3-0, Napoli won four consecutive victories. After scoring 15 consecutive victories, they won the Serie B championship two months ahead of schedule.
In the remaining eight rounds, Gao Shen completely let himself go...
After winning the championship ahead of schedule, Gao Shen began to repeatedly adjust the team's tactics and repeatedly study the team's various playing styles, playing like it was taking off.
In this round, use four-three to focus on three, in the next round, use four-three-one-two, and in the next round, use three-five-two...
Sometimes we even use one style of play in the first half and another style of play in the second half.
The only thing that hasn't changed is Naples' core philosophy, which is still high-position pressing and fast-paced offense and defense.
Everyone knows that Gao Shen is preparing for Naples' Serie A season.
As Tianzi's number one trumpeter, Sacchi is a professional.
Even after Naples won the Serie B championship in advance, he still insisted on writing a column about Naples and analyzing Naples' tactics in every game.
What no one knows is that every time before writing a column, he would contact Gao Shen on the phone to exchange ideas and experiences.
Gao Shen needed Saki's cold gaze to see clearly what his own problems were, while Saki wanted to know from Gao Shen what he was thinking and why he did what he did.
The two communicated with each other, but the media and fans knew nothing about it.
Only a handful of outsiders such as Sacchi and Zidane, as well as Naples insiders, know that Gao Shen has been repeatedly polishing and adjusting the team's tactics, especially tapping the potential of players and enriching the team's tactics.
.
For example, he can let Vidal appear in four different positions in one game, playing as attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder, central defender and right back; he can even let David Luiz press up and rush directly to the forward
Online, act as a tactical center.
The complaint of a live broadcast guest on Italian TV was: "I dare not tell the audience now what position the Naples player plays, because it is very likely that this player will appear in an incredible position later."
"Perhaps, the only thing that is relatively certain is that they only have one goalkeeper, named Handanovic."
But sometimes, Gao Shen also plays too rough and loses it.
In the 40th round of Serie B, in Naples' away game against Verona, Naples even allowed Handanovic to rush out of the penalty area and participate in backcourt kicks and passes.
As a result, he was intercepted twice by the opponent's forward.
Yes, twice.
After that, Gao Shen adjusted back.
In the end, Naples drew 3-3 away from home. w.
As for why Handanovic was allowed to appear outside the penalty area for a long time, Gao Shen's explanation after the game was that it was because the team's advantage in front was too great and the pressure was too high. He hoped to shorten the goalkeeper and the defense.
The distance between them allowed the goalkeeper to press out.
"I don't think my goalkeeper can only play a role in the penalty area, or even in the small penalty area or in front of the goal. I hope he can be more brave, actively go out of the penalty area, and participate in the team's passing and passing.
Fall into your feet."
"I'm even encouraging him to make long passes."
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, because the two central defenders were both good at passing the ball long.
David Luiz and Bonucci both performed wonderful plays with long passes to instigate counterattacks in the game. Unexpectedly, Gao Shen even arranged for the goalkeeper. This was intended to involve everyone in the team.
But no one can deny that Naples' overall football is very strict, very aggressive, and the players' passing and cutting abilities are also very good, which makes Naples invincible in Serie B.
In the penultimate round, Naples' last home game of the season, before the game, the team received the Serie B championship trophy at the San Paolo Stadium.
Captain Montevino and vice-captain Cannavaro Jr. together represented Naples on the field to receive the award.
The team then defeated the visiting Lecce cleanly 2-0.
In the last round, they defeated Genoa 1-0 away from home.
Since then, Napoli has successfully promoted as champions.
Although Juventus suffered a painful blow from Napoli, they were still promoted as second place.
Third-place Genoa became the third team to be directly promoted because of its sufficient lead.
