Regarding the war of words between Gao Shen and Castori, as well as the Italian media, the Italian Football Association chose to stay out of the matter.
They even choose to turn a blind eye to the profound evil spirits.
Why?
Because they are guilty!
Naples did suffer a big loss in terms of schedule, and everyone knows this.
Is there any way?
Which league in the world is not like this?
Can a wealthy team take advantage of the schedule? Can it be called an advantage?
Therefore, although many people outside hope that the Football Association will come forward and severely punish Gao Shen, the Italian Football Association still chooses to settle the matter. Who should let them be justified?
But the day after the first round of the Coppa Italia, the Italian Football Association organized the second-round draw ceremony at its headquarters in Rome. Football Association officials tactfully expressed to Naples representative Marino that they hoped Gao Shen would not dwell on this topic again.
Marino said innocently, "He is my superior. My biggest responsibility is to provide him with good services. I can't control him at all. How about you tell my boss directly? He should be able to control him."
After finishing speaking, the general manager of Naples was very serious and nodded with encouragement. He even took out his mobile phone and made an expression like "If you don't have contact information, I will give it to you now."
Football Association officials immediately backed down.
Looking for De Laurentiis?
Is this guy scolded more harshly and viciously than Gao Shen in the media?
If you go to him, won't you get scolded?
Anyway, our Football Association has no control over this matter!
Marino looked at the backs of the Football Association officials and felt happy and relieved.
When he failed to mediate well with the Football Association, De Laurentiis directly scolded him like a grandson. Wasn't it all the fault of the Football Association?
Oh, Juventus is a wealthy club. If they want to participate, they can participate. If they don’t want to participate, they can’t participate, right?
Do we in Naples deserve this?
Now, Marino really agrees with Gao Shen's point of view, these people just need to be dealt with!
How did Gao Shen say that?
Oh, by the way, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Don’t bully young people into poverty!
Marino secretly praised himself in his heart and couldn't help but raise his head and chest.
Wait until one day we win the championship...
…
In the subsequent draw, the twelve teams that reached the second round were divided into six groups to compete against each other.
Napoli drew pizza.
Yes, it's the pizza that comes in eight pieces. If you divide it into 12 pieces, it's too much to finish.
Pisa is the newly promoted team in Serie B this season, but many people say that this team is very similar to Naples last season. They both performed very strongly and have excellent strength.
In the first round of the Italian Cup, Pisa reversed Brescia 2-1.
Brescia, which ranked sixth in Serie B last season and is a long-established team in Serie A and the favorite for promotion every season, was defeated by newly promoted Pisa in the first round. As you can imagine, this team is also aggressive.
As early as the beginning of the season, many media paying attention to Serie B concluded that this newly promoted team is likely to qualify for promotion as a newly promoted team like Napoli last season.
As for winning the championship, it is still a bit reluctant, but it is not completely impossible.
why?
Because they have a famous head coach in Italy, Ventura!
The future Turin Ferguson, hailed by Lippi as the best coach in Italy in the future, did not renew his contract after taking charge of Verona last season. Instead, he turned to coach the newly promoted Pisa. He has imitated Gao Shen and will
The courage to turn a newly promoted horse into a champion.
There are many advantages to being a famous coach, one of which is connections.
After Ventura coached Pisa, he rented many high-quality and cheap players for this team from major strong teams, such as Kutuzov on loan from Parma and Thiebaud on loan from Udinese.
Ni, signed Cerci on loan from Roma.
Especially this Chelchi.
As a senior fan of football manager games, Gao Shen got into the game from the era of Champion Football Manager. At that time, he was not FM, but CM. In the CM era, there was a god-like, football king-level existence, and he was
Alessio Cerci.
Unlike previous Mavericks who had injured Zhongyong, Cerci was far from being as good as he was in the game, but at least he was the assist leader in Serie A, an Italian international, and later joined Atletico Madrid, so he was very capable.
And this is the biggest benefit of inviting famous coaches.
Because they have this kind of connections and resources, they can help you directly rent a group of outstanding players without spending any money, turning Pisa, a newly promoted Serie B team, into a strong Serie B team.
But whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, the big dark horse in Serie B this season actually got the biggest dark horse in the history of Serie B last season. Ventura once again encountered a deep situation.
…
In the first season of the season, Brescia was reversed, and all the strong players performed well, which undoubtedly made Ventura more confident.
When he learned that he was drawn against Naples, the Italian coach said with a smile that this was a good result.
"Yes, the team I led did not perform well against Naples last season, but it cannot be compared, because we are now a brand new team, walking on a new and correct path, and we have many excellent players.
players.”
The implication is that he took over midway last season, which is different from this season.
Not only that, Ventura also commented on Naples' first game against Cesena. He said that he was very familiar with Castori. He believed that the reason for this fiasco was that Cesena's players did not execute Castori well.
Tori's tactics.
"A situation like this cannot happen to my team."
When he said this, Ventura was somewhat dismissive of his colleagues.
Castori has won league championships at all levels except Serie A during his coaching career, and Ventura has done the same. He even won two Serie D championships, but he missed the Serie A and Serie B championships.
When talking about the game three days later, Ventura confidently promised the home fans: "Don't put too much enthusiasm into this game. You must take into account the third round of the Italian Cup at the end of the month.
That’s our highlight!”
As for many people's concerns that Gao Shen's outstanding performance in Italy will subvert Italy's confidence in tactics, Ventura said such worries are unnecessary.
"My team is also a traditional Italian team and we will prove it in the game!"
…
The match against Cesena made Gao Shen breathe a sigh of relief.
The victory made him feel much better.
After learning about Ventura's remarks in the media interview, Gao Shen didn't take it seriously, but he was just an old man who liked to brag.
Besides, if others don’t know, he doesn’t understand?
This Turin Ferguson can keep Italy out of the World Cup, and his coaching skills are definitely among the best in the world.
Just ask, besides him, who else?
As a young junior, you have to be bragging, right?
Besides, haven’t the Italian media always said that he doesn’t respect Italian football and its predecessors?
When he beat up Ulivieri, the Italian media were all filled with indignation.
Therefore, Gao Shen restrained himself this time.
At the pre-match press conference the day before the game against Pisa, Gao Shen praised Ventura fiercely, saying that Ventura had won many championships and had rich coaching experience, which he needed to learn from.
He performed well in coaching Verona last season and won everyone's recognition. Gao Shen also believes that he will be able to lead Pisa to achieve great results again this season.
Anyway, it’s just a compliment.
When it comes to swearing, Gao Shen is really not very good at it. Mourinho would have to criticize him for this. But when it comes to praising people, Gao Shen will never admit defeat in this aspect.
I remember when Gao Shen was working in the workplace, he had the ability to praise the entire office building, from the boss to the cleaning aunt who was sweeping the floor, and everyone was very happy, and there was no repetition.
What's wrong with praising Ventura?
Even Gao Shen learned to be humble this time.
After all, after beating Cesena in the last round, Gao Shen did not want the team to be too proud and had to nip the arrogance in the bud, so he specifically emphasized that Pisa is a very powerful team and Naples must strengthen Pay attention to.
Gao Shen's statement made all the media reporters who came from afar dumbfounded.
Damn it, we came all the way here just to see you praise others?
Young people from China, where is your youthfulness? Where is your tit-for-tat? Where is your rebelliousness?
At this time, shouldn't you show off your overwhelming momentum and fight Ventura directly?
Why are you pretending to be a good baby?
Gao Shen was sitting in front of the main podium, boasting and boasting, feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere?
Looking at the club press officer on the side, the latter also shook his head, and he was also confused.
It stands to reason that Gao Shen performed exceptionally well today and was very gentlemanly. He completely followed the standards previously given by the Italian media and strictly implemented the rhetoric prepared for him by the press and public relations department before the game, even with zero flaws.
But why is the atmosphere so weird?
Gao Shen nodded secretly and retreated quickly!
After saying that, he quickly ended the press conference, stood up and left.
…
"How did I perform today?"
As soon as he walked out of the press conference hall, Gao Shen immediately asked the press officer.
"very good."
"is that OK?"
"Absolutely no problem."
Gao Shen then nodded, "I did as you asked this time. If there is any problem again, you can go and explain it to the German guy yourself."
People from the press and public relations department nodded hurriedly.
What else could go wrong?
They had spent a lot of effort on the part of the boss to convince Gao Shen to cooperate with them. Judging from Gao Shen's on-the-spot performance, it was simply an extraordinary performance, even better than they expected.
I have long heard that Gao Shen is good at praising people. I didn't expect that he would not only praise his players, but also his opponents. He is as sharp as his football. I believe that it will not take long before the tense relationship between Naples and the Italian media can be eased.
Thinking of this, the Naples press officer looked at Gao Shen's back, his eyes changed, as if he saw the gentle and elegant style of the world's top coach who was packaged by him and praised by the world.
And he is bound to make a name for himself in the field of news and public relations and become famous in one battle!
…
But what neither Gao Shen nor the press officer expected was that when the media came out the next day, it was completely beyond their expectations.
The press officer was immediately dumbfounded and yelled at Liang in anger.
Gao Shen even smiled bitterly.
"Nima, now I can really go to Qidian and write a novel called, I really became the villain!"
