When the news of Inter Milan's signing of Lucio reached Naples, there was an uproar in the coach's office.
No one thought that when the entire European football world was experiencing sluggish consumption, Inter Milan would be willing to spend a huge sum of 90 million euros to build such a team for Mourinho.
This can no longer be described as luxury.
Inter Milan is simply richer than the rich!
When Gao Shen heard the news, he was also shocked. He really didn't expect that Mourinho actually convinced Moratti and spent a huge amount of money.
Obviously, in order to be able to win a Champions League as the president of Inter Milan and fulfill his dream of decades, Moratti has really risked his life, and may have even emptied his family fortune.
But I have to say that the current Inter Milan is really luxurious, and the lineup is not generally strong.
For no other reason than Moratti's persistence, as well as his affection and investment in Inter Milan, it is really admirable.
Let me ask, in European football, who is willing to invest like Moratti without any return?
"It will be difficult to play in Serie A in the new season!" Carlo said worriedly.
He has always been a conservative and always considers difficulties first.
Everyone nodded in agreement, especially seeing Inter Milan's current lineup, which is really scary.
If after defeating Inter Milan 3-0, Naples was determined to defend Serie A, then now, Inter Milan's strong investment has made Naples deeply feel the threat.
This is what professional football is all about, capital is what you play with.
If you have money, you will have good players.
Without money, I have to worry about every appointment in succession.
"Gao, what do you think?" Carlo asked with concern.
Only then did everyone realize that Gao Shen had barely said a word from beginning to end.
Feeling the eyes of his assistants, Gao Shen smiled faintly, "It's nothing to see. After drinking with Mourinho that night, I guessed that he would ask the management for signings, but I didn't expect that the intensity would be so strong. Moratti
I am really willing to give.”
Only a man like Moratti, who comes from a wealthy family, is willing to invest so much money to realize a dream.
That's 90 million euros, converted into RMB, that's 900 million.
Oh my god, 100 million people can kill people and set fires, 900 million people...
Gao Shen was really shocked.
"No matter who the opponent is, it's all the same to us anyway." Gao Shen said loudly.
There was a sense of confidence and strength in his voice.
"The game must be played one by one, and the opponents must be eliminated one by one. Whether it is Roma in the first round or Inter Milan in the future, for us, there will always be only one goal, and that is victory!"
When Gao Shen said this, he showed a confident smile.
"Besides, originally, I thought Serie A would be quite boring this season, but now it seems that Inter Milan did not disappoint me!"
"We get stronger when we encounter strength. This is the true nature of our Naples!"
I don't know why, but after listening to Gao Shen's words, everyone seemed to feel relieved instantly.
Although Inter Milan is indeed very strong, Napoli is not bad either.
Before signings, Napoli was a team that could defeat Inter Milan 3-0 at San Siro.
Now that they have brought in a few strong reinforcements, they are at best a tie with Naples. Who is afraid of whom?
…
Naples players also heard the news about Inter Milan's signing, but Gao Shen quickly calmed their minds.
Everyone can see that Naples' number one rival in Serie A this season is Inter Milan.
Nowadays, Inter Milan's strength has greatly increased, and Naples' players will definitely be affected to some extent.
But Gao Shen also said that he is full of confidence in his players. Even if Inter Milan brings in strong reinforcements, there is no way he can challenge Naples' position.
"Just wait and see! When we visit Meazza again, we will still destroy Inter Milan!"
Gao Shen's loud words in front of the players rekindled everyone's fighting spirit.
Are signings great?
Naples is not weak either.
Besides, most of the players in Naples have played together for two years, and they are very familiar with each other and have a tacit understanding. Are they still afraid of Inter Milan's signings?
At the same time, before the start of the league, Naples also received good news.
That is, the players who participated in the Olympic Games began to return to the team one after another, and by the time of the first round, they had all returned to the team.
Several Argentinian players, mainly Olympic champions, were dragged to the end.
But Di Maria and Biglia performed very well in the Olympics, which greatly increased the confidence of Naples.
No, the new season hasn't even started yet, and Napoli has already won two championships.
On the other hand, the opponent in the first round of the league is an away game against Roma.
Naples still has a psychological advantage against this team.
Since Gao Shen took charge, the record against Roma has been very good, and everyone is full of confidence.
Red Wolves captain Totti, Perrotta and Taddei are currently injured and are basically out of the game.
This is equivalent to helping Naples eliminate Roma's most threatening player on the offensive end.
…
August 29th, the day before the new Serie A season begins.
Located at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, a draw that will affect the new season's UEFA Champions League slowly begins under the spotlight.
Naples still arranged for general manager Marino to attend the draw.
The Serie A league is about to start, and Gao Shen, with Naples, continues to prepare for the game in Castello Volturno.
In fact, as early as before the game, everyone knew that Naples' luck would definitely not improve.
Because they have no European points at all, they are ranked at the bottom of the fourth tier with zero points.
This is actually a very interesting thing. The Serie A champion is actually ranked in the fourth tier. This certainly makes everyone in Naples unconvinced, but also makes other teams feel very anxious.
Who wants to encounter such a strong opponent in the fourth gear?
The key is that in the fourth pot, in addition to Naples, there are also difficult teams like Atletico Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk.
The eight seeded teams are: defending champion Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
The Premier League has four seats, and in last season's Champions League semi-finals, the Premier League won three seats.
Today's Premier League is not only rich in wealth, but also a gathering of stars. It is also the ideal stage that all head coaches long for, because here, they can collide with many world-famous coaches.
For example, the profound idols Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez, etc.
According to the rules of the group stage draw, Naples will not encounter Inter Milan and AC Milan, and the remaining six groups will not encounter Roma in the second pot.
But the teams in the second tier also include Bayern Munich, Lyon, Villarreal, Porto, Werder Bremen and other strong teams.
Therefore, Naples will definitely encounter a strong team, and it will definitely be a group of death.
The key depends on how severe the death is.
…
"nervous?"
While watching the live broadcast of the draw, Zidane asked Xiang Gaoshen with a smile.
Gao Shen didn't answer, but breathed out heavily. The answer was self-evident.
This is his first time watching the Champions League group stage draw, and it is impossible to say that he is not a little nervous.
But to say how nervous I am, I’m not really nervous.
It's more of a curiosity about the unknown.
"Is there any team you want to meet?" Zidane asked.
Gao Shen said without thinking: "Ferguson's Manchester United."
"You want to touch the defending champion?" Carlo asked in a voiceless voice.
Gao Shen nodded, "I want to play against Ferguson because they are the strongest team in Europe. Only by fighting against them can I know how strong our team is and what our weaknesses and shortcomings are.
"
For Gao Shen, strong dialogue is like a whetstone.
What's the point of just being in Serie A?
You can’t build a car behind closed doors!
Gao Shen wanted to compete with those masters, even if he lost, he could accept it.
Because after losing, he will know where his problems are and what his shortcomings are. These are the directions for his efforts and progress. Otherwise, he will not know what to do.
I would like to ask, if every game is like beating Inter Milan 3-0, does it make sense?
Therefore, Gao Shen is eager to challenge the strongest team and the strongest head coach!
"What do you least want to encounter?" Zidane asked again.
Gao Shen smiled and said, "Barcelona and Real Madrid."
"Why?" Zidane was surprised.
"Guardiola coaches Barcelona. I know what he wants to do and what kind of football he wants to play. I know him very well. If I play against him, I will win. As for Real Madrid, to be honest, I am afraid that after winning,
The fans at the Bernabeu will curse me."
By the end of the story, Gao Shen himself felt happy.
In fact, he is confident if he meets Real Madrid.
The current situation of Real Madrid is not very good. There is a conflict between the head coach Schuster and Mijatovic. The two are getting more and more tense. Such a disagreement between the generals is a big taboo for the team.
As for Barcelona, Gao Shen really doesn't want to encounter them.
Because he was afraid that if he accidentally defeated Barcelona, Barcelona, which was supposed to win the championship, would now lose the Triple Crown. Will Guardiola still be the same Guardiola?
If we really do this, wouldn't the quality of Gao Shen, a bole, be reduced a lot?
There is no way, these days, if you want to get the title of Bole, you have to work hard.
…
While talking, the lottery ceremony soon began.
The teams in the first two tiers have also been released one after another.
Due to the principle of avoiding the same country, Naples will basically not encounter AC Milan, Inter Milan and Roma, while the second-tier team Roma will encounter the seed team Chelsea.
That is to say, Naples' opponents are basically Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Arsenal and Real Madrid.
These five teams are all wealthy teams and their strength is quite good.
The teams in the second tier are also not bad. Barcelona met Sporting Lisbon, Liverpool met PSV, Manchester United met Villarreal, Arsenal met Porto, and Real Madrid met Bayern Munich.
When he saw this, Gao Shen secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.
They are all strong teams, and it is difficult to play against anyone they encounter.
The most unlucky one is Group H between Real Madrid and Bayern.
But if you choose one of the five, you won't really be so unlucky, right?
