The story of David Luiz and Real Madrid is actually more like a chance encounter.
Real Madrid's scouts were optimistic about the player, who was playing in Brazil's third-tier league at the time, and even extended an invitation. However, Vitoria, where David Luiz was playing for at the time, was struggling to break into Brazil's second-tier league, and the club did not want to let him go.
Besides, Real Madrid just wants to put him in the second team for training. This is still somewhat unacceptable to the 18-year-old David Luiz. If he is in the first team, then he will definitely not hesitate.
.
Real Madrid didn't bother anymore, because for them, this transfer of hundreds of thousands of euros was just a casual transaction, and it was not worth them to look back at it.
Before joining Naples, the closest David Luiz was to European football was in the first half of 2006.
At that time, Vitoria, where he played, had successfully been promoted to the second division, and the club promised to let him leave. At that time, the scouts of the Belgian giant Anderlecht were also in Brazil, looking for Anderlecht everywhere.
Searching for young talents, they settled on David Luiz.
The two sides have been in very deep contact. Anderlecht's scouts even flew to Brazil from Europe to watch David Luiz's game live. As long as he passes this inspection, he will be able to successfully get a job in European football.
Ferry ticket.
Everyone in the team knows that, and they all support David Luiz, the best player in the team, to study abroad.
David Luiz still clearly remembers that the opponent in that game was Krichuma, and it was an afternoon game.
His heart was as full of heat as the hot temperature.
Unfortunately, he got distracted!
His attention was more distracted. He was concerned about the scouts in the stands, about his life after joining Anderlecht, about his prospects in European football, and he even couldn't wait to dream about it.
After joining Belgium, how did he use this platform to jump into the four major leagues...
The distraction caused him to make mistakes in the game. He tried very hard to make up for the mistakes, but as a result, he made new mistakes... That game completely turned into a disaster for him.
Victoria ended up losing 0-6, and even the goalkeeper scored.
David Luiz scored the lowest score of the game.
After the game, the head coach scolded him severely in the locker room in front of everyone, and told him very clearly that his hope of studying abroad in Europe had been completely ruined, and his ticket had been announced.
Invalid!
Sure enough, since then, no one from Anderlecht has appeared again.
A disastrous match was a major blow not only to David Luiz, but also to Victoria. The club not only suffered a disastrous defeat, but also lost a very considerable transfer income.
At that time, David Luiz almost suspected that his life might be completely ruined.
"After that, for a long time, I couldn't get over this defeat. I was very sad and sad. People in Zhou Dynasty no longer praised me and pampered me like they used to. I even began to doubt
, how much longer can I hold on?"
Speaking of that memory, David Luiz still looked painful.
His family background is not good, both parents are teachers, but this is not enough for the family to live a good life, so his father, a former football player, makes him, like all Brazilian children, hope to pass football
to change lives.
Being spotted by European teams, this was originally an opportunity for them to change their own and their family's fate, but first Real Madrid, then Anderlecht, all of which made David Luiz miss an excellent opportunity. It is understandable that
For a while, he and his family must have been in despair.
"It was at this time, boss, that I met you. You were like the beam of light given by God, which enveloped me and brought me hope again. You are different from everyone else. You don't even need to investigate, just directly
He was brought to Europe.
"Even the moment I set foot on Naples, I was still wondering if I was dreaming?"
David Luiz looked at Gao Shen with a look that was very grateful and even made him want to kneel down.
He almost cried as he spoke.
Gao Shen was also quite moved when he heard this. He never thought that with just one casual move, he could completely change David Luiz's life and family.
"So, boss, you never have to doubt my determination and fighting spirit to compete for you!"
David Luiz had red eyes, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and spoke with all his strength.
"As long as you tell me, no matter what kind of opponent you encounter, no matter what kind of environment you are in, I will fight tooth and nail for you!"
Gao Shen was really moved.
He has coached two teams, led many players, and promoted many people, but there has never been one like David Luiz. He really felt the sincerity of the Brazilian from these words.
In fact, from the time David Luiz joined Naples until now, he has been a prodigal and made many mistakes, but he has never been passive in his work. Whether in games or training, he is the most diligent and hard-working person.
It's touching, but Gao Shen has never been an emotional person.
After leaving the Chinese restaurant and sending David Luiz home, Gao Shen also returned to his home.
After this exchange with David Luiz, he had a deeper understanding of his job.
He has always known that playing football can change the fate of many people and families. For example, Sanchez and his family, with the help of Gao Shen, left the poor northern Chile and came to live in Naples, Italy.
But this was the first time that someone said such words to Gao Shen.
He believes that David Luiz is really scared and really wants to change, but he still has reservations.
Why?
Because he wants to put some pressure on David Luiz.
As a leader, you must always keep yourself in a position where you can move forward and retreat freely. Sometimes being too confidant to your subordinates is not a good thing.
Just like now, David Luiz is showing his true feelings. If Gao Shen also confesses his expectations and high hopes for him, he will burst into tears, but what happens next?
Maybe, he started to be promiscuous again, or even more promiscuous.
When it really develops to that point, it may be even harder to restrain.
Instead of doing this, it is better to put some pressure on him now, so that he can continue to maintain this inner sense of crisis, and let the pressure urge him to continue to make progress and improve himself.
Of course, Gao Shen finally opened a window for him and made an agreement with him.
"In the game against Roma, if you can make no mistakes and score goals, I will consider your merits equal to your faults!"
David Luiz nodded hurriedly and said with high spirits that he would do his best.
No one else knew about this conversation between Gao Shen and David Lewis.
But in the training center the next day, everyone was confused because David Luiz's eyes were red and the corners of his mouth were bubbling. The team doctor said it was caused by eating, but what did he eat?
If David Luiz doesn't say it, Gao Shen will certainly not say it.
However, during training, David Luiz was very active and energetic. He seemed to have high morale and was obviously much better than in the past.
This made Carlo, Lucas and others speculate that Gao Shen must have done something in private.
As a result, I don’t know what method Lucas used to dig out the inside story from David Luiz, and everyone in the group burst into laughter.
How outrageous!
Is there such a thing as teasing people?
Fortunately, he is still your player and your favorite general, so you torment him like this?
The most important thing is... there is such a fun thing, why didn't you call us?
Of course, these are all private jokes. The coaches still won't reveal anything in front of players such as David Luiz. They still have this sense of propriety.
After entering mid-to-late October, the national team games have started one after another, and the time for the return of the national football team is getting closer and closer.
But this time, many problems will still arise.
That is the return journey.
Roma's home game against Naples is the first match of the eighth round of Serie A. The kick-off time is 17:00 pm on October 20th, and the game will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
But there is a problem, that is, for many international players participating in South American games, even if they rush slowly, it will take more than ten or even twenty hours to fly to Rome. The fastest is two days before the game.
At night, the slowest time is even the morning before the game, and there is still a time difference of more than ten hours.
This will inevitably bring about a problem, these South American internationals will be very tired.
This is not only true for Naples, but also for other South American teams with many international players.
In contrast, Roma's problem is actually not serious, because neither Mancini nor Pizarro is a national player, and their only South American national players are center back Juan and right back Cicinho.
The situation in Naples is much more serious. Although Di Maria, Valencia and Vidal have no national team duties, Biglia, Cavani and Vargas have also returned to their country to compete.
It will inevitably affect the Napoli game.
Naples has also been prepared for this.
It's too late for the international players to return, so Naples must take the initiative to make changes.
During the two weeks of national team competition, Gao Shen has been polishing the team's tactics and targeted arrangements.
When being interviewed by the media, Gao Shen once again stated that Naples will stick to the team's tactical style in the away game.
"Last season, we defeated Roma 6-0. We have enough psychological advantages and experience for this. We know how to mediate and compete with this team."
"I believe that this will be a wonderful offensive battle, and we will use the bravest way to defeat our opponents!"
The implication is that Naples will definitely try its best to attack.
Just like when we played against Inter Milan at San Siro.
More importantly, Gao Shen repeatedly reminded the media that Napoli bloodbathed Roma 6-0 last season.
He almost pointed at the noses of Spalletti and the Roma players and said: Brother, do you want revenge?
