This should be the most devilish pre-season training session since Gao Shen coached Naples.
At first, when the players heard that pre-season training was reduced from three practices a day last season to two practices a day, everyone was elated and overjoyed.
You know, last season they were trained to the point where their skin was almost peeling off.
Of course, the training effect is also quite good, and my physical fitness is also maintained very well.
However, this season has been changed to two training sessions per day. How can the players be unhappy?
But relatively calm players like Biglia expressed doubts about this.
"Boss, it's not that we don't trust you, but you are simply not worthy of our trust when it comes to pre-season training!"
Gao Shen could only cry sadly: I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.
My dear players, if you want to scold them, just scold those two damn fitness coaches!
I am innocent!
Then, when all the players came to the training ground the next day, they really felt what the devil meant.
…
Buenaventura's training is still the same as before, mainly focusing on ball training.
But what is different from usual is that players are assigned to different groups according to their different physical conditions and undergo different training projects. The intensity is also very high and the arrangements are very compact and orderly.
When players devote themselves to training, they consume a lot of energy.
They are all used to this.
Ever since Gao Shen coached Naples, Buenaventura's training has always been high-intensity and at a very high level.
But this time the intensity was obviously higher, and many players who overindulged during the holidays couldn't even hold on for more than ten minutes.
Considering that the team's training camp has changed from three practices a day to two practices a day, and the intensity has been slightly increased, I gritted my teeth and endured it.
After all, there is one less training session.
But if the players think this way, they are obviously wrong.
The ninety-minute training session took them like a year. They finally gritted their teeth and survived this devilish training session. When they were all looking forward to taking a rest, Pintus appeared.
The Italian bald man was not tall, but his body was very lean. He waved to the players with a smile on his face that he thought was kind, but actually made the players' hair stand on end.
"From now on, we will conduct running training after every training session."
All the players were stunned.
OMG, do you still need to do running training?
These poor kids almost collapsed.
Finally, under Pintus's greeting, they all ran feebly. The Italian Bald Qiang was still not satisfied, and kept urging and shouting from the side. In the end, he couldn't do it anymore and directly gave him a punishment mechanism.
"Everyone who runs behind me will be punished!"
The players collapsed immediately!
One by one, they looked at Gao Shen on the sidelines, with pleading in their eyes, as if to say: Boss, we were wrong, help!
Deep and joyful.
Where did this go?
The training of Buenaventura and Pintus follows a step-by-step approach.
Nowadays, players' bodies are generally not in good condition, so they naturally won't take up the dosage from the beginning.
Every day from now on, they will miss the training of the previous day very much.
There is no other way, just accept your fate!
…
The facts are just as Gao Shen imagined.
Every day after the training camp, Naples' training intensity will gradually increase.
In the previous week, all the players were complaining.
Gao Shen did not preside over the training, but he was more involved in communicating with the players, especially in solving problems.
After the first week, the players' bodies gradually adapted. Although it was still very hard, they could barely support it. At this time, Buenaventura and Pintus increased the training intensity again.
It's a bit like boiling a frog in warm water.
The players are hovering on the edge of collapse every day, but in fact they are improving and adapting to the physical training of the two devil coaches bit by bit, and their bodies are constantly accumulating energy.
Although the training intensity is very high, Naples attaches great importance to recovery training, especially adding a lot of stretching training time.
In Buenaventura's words, the purpose of this is to reduce the probability of players getting injured.
After the players gradually adapted to the training intensity of the coaching staff, they also continued to gain confidence from this kind of training, especially after they felt the improvement brought by the training.
Gao Shen was more interested in drawing big cakes for them and filling them with chicken soup.
He knows his players very well. He is always able to cater to the players' thoughts and needs, stimulate their itch, and make each of them devote themselves to training, and everyone is full of energy.
Even Benatia and Macho, who have just joined, are full of confidence.
For example, Maggio, in an interview with local Italian media, said that Naples' training intensity and level are very high, and he was full of praise for Gao Shen and his coaching staff.
"How should I put it? Our team must be completely different from before."
"Our previous formation was very wide, which made it easy for the opponent to score goals on counterattack when we conceded the ball."
"But in Naples, whether it is in daily training or tactical training, what the coaches require most is integrity, which is all about positioning, movement and support, and they are more compact with each other."
Maggio believes that the high-level tactics are different from his previous teams from a starting point.
"From the beginning, the head coach told us that pressing is not about grabbing the ball, not about defending."
"I think he is a staunch supporter of offensive football. Everything he does is for offense."
Maggio also revealed that after arriving in Naples, he found that it was simply a palace of high technology.
"I feel like I have stepped from agricultural civilization into the space age."
Outsiders are confused about this, but from Maggio's exclusive interview, it is not difficult to see his excitement about joining Naples.
Finally, Maggio said that his goal for the new season is to play the main role.
…………
…………
Northern suburb of Milan, Italy.
Mourinho saw this exclusive interview with Maggio at Inter Milan's training base.
The advanced pre-season training is very mysterious. Although the players are not enclosed in the training base and can still go home every day, outsiders have no idea what the training content is.
The only time you can get some clues from it is when the players are interviewed.
However, the information that can be obtained from it is extremely limited.
The only thing Mourinho can see is that Naples' pre-season training has been well received by the players.
This can be seen from Ma Qiao’s interview.
This made Mourinho feel a kind of pressure.
"This level of proficiency is quite high," Mourinho said to Villas-Boas and Faria.
As the saying goes, there is no falsehood under the reputation. Gao Shen was able to lead Real Madrid to win the double crown, and he was able to lead Naples to create a miracle for the newly promoted team to win the championship. All kinds of deeds show that he is really very capable.
"The media reported last season that Naples' pre-season training was very intense. This year it was said that it changed from three training sessions a day to two training sessions a day. Is this the reason?" Boas guessed.
"You mean, he has reduced the intensity of training?" Mourinho frowned.
Is this possible?
"No." Mourinho quickly shook his head again, "After Gao Shen came to Serie A, he has always played offensive football at home, pressing and pressing from a high position, which requires very high physical fitness and physical fitness of the players. His team has always played
They have the strongest running ability among the four major leagues. If the pre-season training cannot achieve results, they will not last long in the season."
Mourinho feels that it is impossible for Gao Shen to think of things he can think of.
Is he so stupid that he would make such a mistake?
"In that case, he is indeed very powerful." Boas nodded.
Pre-season training is the hardest, and to have players give such comments is enough to prove their advanced level.
"Are they starting the warm-up match soon?" Mourinho asked suddenly.
Inter Milan's summer training camp starts one week later than Naples, so their training pace is slower than that of Naples. Based on the normal pace, Mourinho believes that Naples should almost enter the warm-up stage of tactical adjustments.
.
"Yes, the first warm-up match will begin this weekend, followed by a series of training sessions and games, but the opponents are not strong, they are all teams from Serie B or even Serie C," Faria replied.
Mourinho nodded, "Senior has always been like this in warm-up matches. He never wants to play well in warm-up matches and always plays in different ways, so his warm-up match results cannot be taken seriously."
This has been figured out by the media as early as the previous two seasons.
Of course, with the media's stubbornness, they would definitely not say it so straightforwardly. Instead, when Naples performed poorly in the warm-up match, they would make some panic remarks to stimulate the fans.
In fact, everyone knows that Gao Shen never cares about the results of the warm-up match.
What he wants is the process.
"Then do we need to arrange for scouts to follow him again?" Boas asked with concern.
"Follow, of course I have to," Mourinho replied without hesitation, "Let them all take the video of the game. I also want to study carefully what this opponent is thinking."
When he said this, Mourinho raised the corner of his mouth and smiled proudly, "I guess Gao Shen should also arrange scouts around us."
Everyone understands this tacitly.
In Serie A this season, the team most likely to threaten Inter Milan is Naples.
The reverse is also true.
Naples retained all its main players this summer and introduced ruthless players like Macho, thus improving its strength.
However, Inter Milan also had an advantage.
"In the Italian Super Cup in late August, eight Napoli players will participate in the Olympics. Bonucci and David Luiz may not be able to come back. By then, Gao Shen will only have Cannavaro Jr. as a central defender.
."
When Mourinho said this, his eyes flashed with a sharp look.
Although there are some insignificant victories, how can there be true fair play in professional football?
"We need to give Naples a heavy blow before the season and severely dampen their spirit. This way we will be much better at playing in the new season."
