When the Italian media, which originally regarded Gao Shen as a public enemy and wanted to get rid of him, suddenly sang his praises and praised him for his abilities, Gao Shen felt very uncomfortable.
After getting up in the morning, he first used his computer to surf the Internet and searched several major Italian news websites. He found that the media reports and fan comments below were mainly praising, and there were not even many questioning messages.
He didn't believe it, so after washing up, he rushed downstairs and read the morning newspaper again.
Forget about the local media in Naples, La Repubblica in Rome, Gazzetta dello Sport, and even Gazzetta dello Sport... all the media are praising, even if they are scolding, they are scolding Mancini and Inter Milan.
Gao Shen still didn't believe it. He searched every newspaper for a long time, but there wasn't even a single negative report about him and Naples. Who dared to believe it?
This made Gao Shen feel very incredible, as if all the people in Italy had been brainwashed by the Creator overnight.
Some media reports were so well written that even Gao Shen felt embarrassed after reading them. He wanted to call this newspaper and this reporter and tell them: Brother, that's not what you said yesterday!
Come on, brother, let's have some backbone, don't change our stance easily, continue to scold, scold hard, scold until death!
You suddenly praise me like this, I don’t like it!
"I have a disease, a terminal illness. I feel sick all over without being scolded." Gao Shen left a message on Penguin Space.
Then, he went out to work.
When he got into Lucas' car and arrived at Fort Volturno's office, as soon as he opened the computer webpage, a message immediately popped up, "Remember to take your medicine." Behind it was a smiling face.
Gao Shen was in the office, smiling and having a silly time.
…
Naples beat Inter Milan 5-0 and topped the list again. Naples was in high spirits.
To put it mildly, it sounds like morale is booming, but Gao Shen is also a little worried, fearing that the players will become careless as a result.
Don't think it is lofty and groundless worry.
They are all young people in their early twenties, who doesn’t know who they are?
But at this time, we cannot suppress the enthusiasm and morale of the players. This requires appropriate control and guidance by senior officials and the coaching staff. Training is also a very important method.
Since coaching Real Madrid, Gao Shen has always attached great importance to recovery training.
In fact, there is also one game a week, but in fact, Naples' training plan is always being adjusted.
Because the game time of each round is different.
For example, Napoli's match against Inter Milan is on Sunday night, and the next round match against Roma is on Sunday afternoon. There are six days between these two games, which is very generous.
Follow the normal process, resume training and adjustments on Monday morning, have a holiday on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, continue recovery on Tuesday afternoon, focus on strength on Wednesday, and do endurance training on Thursday. At this time, you can consider giving training based on the actual situation.
Half-day holiday for the team.
Generally speaking, for Sunday games, the training volume and intensity will be the highest on Friday. By Saturday, the training volume will drop significantly, mainly to stimulate the players' condition, so that the players can perform at their best on Sunday.
state to compete.
Did you find a problem?
Yes, if the last round is on Sunday and the next round is on Friday or Saturday, there are actually only four or five days.
If the previous round was on Saturday and the next round is on Sunday, that would be a full seven days.
And if it is a double match a week, not to mention giving the players a day off, almost all training is in recovery, and there is no time to conduct some targeted drills, and it is not even possible to effectively adjust the players' status and physical fitness.
This is also what Gao Shen said before, a major advantage of Naples.
Without the European war to worry about, the team can prepare without any distractions.
The opponent in the next round, Roma, will go to Madrid, Spain, in midweek to challenge Real Madrid away from home.
…
After Pintus joined the advanced coaching staff, he and Buenaventura made many changes to the training.
For example, recovery training is mostly conducted in different groups.
Pintus took the players who played more minutes in the game against Inter Milan and were basically starters and substitutes to train in the indoor gym. This is a training method to help them recover effectively.
Carlo and other members of the coaching staff took others and divided them into different groups to conduct restorative training on the court. Based on the different physical conditions and physical conditions of the players, after the groups were segmented, they each conducted targeted training.
Naturally, the goalkeeper still undergoes special training with Lopez, and some players with injuries also undergo specialized training under the leadership of Buenaventura, who is very skilled in rehabilitation and physical therapy.
The entire training was arranged very compactly, but there was basically nothing advanced about it.
Just after the training, Gao Shen had a conversation with the whole team. The content was not unusual. He praised the players for their performance last night, affirmed everyone's efforts during this period, encouraged them to keep up their efforts, and believed that the team could
Winning the championship at the end of the season generally falls into this category.
But Gao Shen emphasized one point, which is mentality.
Napoli are the leaders now, but not for the first time.
"This is the third time we have reached the top of the list. The first two times, we were kicked off without even being able to sit firmly or even warm our butts. But this time, I hope that all of us can work together to achieve this goal."
Just keep sitting down."
"There are only twelve rounds left in the league. No one can guarantee whether we will have a chance to get back up if we are kicked out again this time. I don't want us to end the season with regrets!"
Gao Shen's tone was neither light nor serious. He was unwilling to put pressure on the players, but he wanted to give them appropriate reminders.
The leading position is very comfortable, but it’s not easy to sit in! Gu Jie
After finishing speaking, Gao Shen announced that the team would have a day off.
As soon as the monkeys heard about the holiday, their eyes lit up and they all dispersed.
There were groups of three and five, arm-in-arm, discussing where they would go during the rare holiday.
"After spending time with them, my mentality has become younger." Carlo stood beside Gao Shen and laughed.
Buenaventura, Pintus and others all nodded with the same feeling, but Gao Shen did not feel this way.
Because he was very young to begin with.
As Naples' reputation grew, Carlo, the former Real Madrid head coach, also received many coaching invitations.
Gao Shen became very popular, and as Gao Shen's right-hand man, Carlo naturally became popular as well.
This is also a norm in the circle. Everyone hopes to use Carlo to copy Gao Shen's set of tactics and achieve success, including even La Liga teams.
After playing Inter Milan last night, on the way back, Carlo told Gao Shen about this matter. He was still hesitant at first, but the game against Inter Milan made him determined that he did not intend to leave Naples.
"I know very well that if I coach alone, I don't expect to win the championship, or even the Champions League, but as an assistant coach, I should still have a good chance, so I chose to stay."
Of course Gao Shen welcomes him. After all, it would be difficult for him to find another assistant coach.
In fact, Carlo himself knows very well that he simply cannot play with tactics like Gao Shen.
Yes, he is very aware of advanced tactical concepts and ideas, but he is not advanced.
Many times, a team's tactics and playing style are often determined by its head coach rather than the tactics it adopts.
Therefore, when Mourinho plays 433 at Chelsea, he still prefers a defensive and counterattack 433, and will not become the 433 of Barcelona or Ajax, and Chelsea will not become a 433 because of this.
More aggressive.
Carlo also knows this. If he coaches alone, he will disappoint everyone who hopes that he can replicate his profound success.
…
At noon, after the team had a holiday, Gao Shen returned to downtown Naples and had a meal with Zidane, Valdano, Sacchi and others.
Guardiola and Cruyff both left in the morning.
The former was eager to go back and become the head coach of his Barcelona second team, while the latter was not familiar with Gao Shen. He even had a quarrel with Gao Shen when Gao Shen was coaching Real Madrid. Naturally, he would not meet Gao Shen, so he ran directly to him.
Traveled.
Gao Shen asked the club to arrange a driver to take them to the airport, which was considered as a courtesy to the landlord.
Sacchi's current column career is getting more and more prosperous, especially after Naples defeated Inter Milan 5-0. His advanced tactics have basically been recognized by the entire Italian football world.
In the face of real achievements, no matter how tough-talking you are, you have to bow your head.
In this way, the harvest is huge. In addition to Gao Shen and Naples, it is Sacchi who is the number one player.
There is no other way, who can let people place their bets the earliest?
"From morning to now, there are at least a dozen TV stations and more than thirty newspapers, hoping to make an appointment with me so that I can have a good chat about you and your Naples."
During lunch, Saki showed off proudly.
Gao Shen laughed and shook his head. This Italian parallel importer was really getting out of the circle.
"I feel that you are more popular than me now." Gao Shen said with a smile.
But it has to be said that Sacchi is very good in both writing and eloquence. Coupled with his legendary past record, he has faint signs of becoming the number one internet celebrity in European and even world football.
"Stop talking, I don't have as many Twitter followers as you." Saki said depressedly.
He tweets more diligently than Gao Shen, but his followers are still not as fast as Gao Shen.
"You should change your avatar. You say you look like this. People who are not familiar with football can easily confuse you with Collina." Gao Shen further attacked.
Two Italian bald heads are really easy to confuse in the eyes of many people.
Saki was so angry that he couldn't eat and threatened to write a column in the afternoon to curse Gao Shen to death.
But will Gao Shen be afraid?
…
That night, Gao Shen accompanied the Naples management and had a meal with Maradona.
His Royal Highness, the football king, really responded to everyone's call in Naples, and there were people blocking him wherever he went.
There is no way, who makes someone the best player?
However, Maradona's character and the temperament of the city of Naples are really in line with each other. It is quite normal for him to be popular here.
After the entertainment, Gao Shen led the team to concentrate on training for the next two days.
On Wednesday afternoon, after leading the team for training, Gao Shen took Lucas and Buenaventura to Rome without stopping and took a direct flight to Madrid.
This is Gao Shen's first return to the Bernabeu after leaving Real Madrid.
