After leading 3-0 in the first half, everyone was basically certain that Naples would win.
In the second half, the side changed again. Naples slowed down their offensive slightly. Zenit tried to grab a wave at the beginning, but failed. Instead, in the 53rd minute, Sanchez returned to defense to steal the ball and sent it forward with the ball.
With a through ball, Di Maria got rid of the defender from the right rib, broke into the right side of the penalty area, and scored with his left foot, giving Naples another victory.
Four to zero!
Subsequently, Zenit entered the defense and Naples also slowed down.
In the end, neither side scored again.
Obviously, Napoli still left some face for Zenit.
…
They beat Real Madrid 7-0 away from home, beat Bayern 2-0 at home, drew 1-1 with Zenit away from home, and beat Zenit 4-0 at home...
After four rounds of the Champions League group stage, the whole world was surprised to find that Naples turned out to be the best team in this super group of death, and they also played amazing offensive football.
Gao Shen said in an interview with the media after the game that he was very satisfied with the team's current state.
"Yes, when the draw results came out, my players and I, like everyone else, were very worried about the draw results. We met some very good, even great teams."
Gao Shen said that Real Madrid, Bayern and Zenit are all very strong opponents, but Naples has a very fine tradition.
"We are not afraid of any pressure from strong teams. On the contrary, this will make us more motivated!"
Ever since Gao Shen coached Naples, this old country team in southern Italy has changed its past style and played gorgeous and sexy offensive football, which is also very technical.
It can be said that Gao Shen has completely rewritten the genes and traditions of this team.
More importantly, he still retains the unyielding and tenacity that flows in the blood of Naples.
When he was in Serie B, Gao Shen dared to say that he wanted to win the Serie A championship and annihilate giants like Roma in the Italian Cup.
Subsequently, whether in Italy or in the Champions League, Naples repeatedly performed wonderful dramas of getting stronger when encountering stronger players.
Gao Shen is absolutely right, meeting a strong team will only make Naples more motivated to fight.
Because this team has a tenacious and unyielding spirit in its bones.
With three wins and one draw in four games, Naples scored 14 goals and conceded only one goal. Napoli performed at an amazing level both offensively and defensively. It can be said to be the best performance so far in this Champions League group stage.
team.
none of them.
While Naples beat Zenit 4-0 at home, Bayern Munich scored two goals in a row and reversed Real Madrid 2-1 after conceding one goal in the away game.
As a result, after four rounds of the group stage, Napoli ranked first with three wins and one draw and ten points; Bayern ranked second with three wins and one loss and nine points; Real Madrid ranked first with one
With three wins and three losses, Zenit gets three points, ranking third. Zenit gets one point with one draw and three losses, ranking bottom.
The points are like this, but in fact, everyone can see that even Zenit's performance is very fierce.
If this were placed in other groups, it would definitely be at the level of competing for the right to qualify.
After losing to Bayern Munich consecutively at home and away, Real Madrid only scored three points and qualifying for the group stage was no longer possible.
According to the rules of the Champions League group stage, even if Real Madrid wins all the last two rounds and Bayern Munich loses all, the final two teams will have the same points, nine points. However, in terms of mutual results, Bayern defeated Real Madrid in both games, so Bayern will advance.
.
This means that Real Madrid has been eliminated from the Champions League two rounds in advance.
The entire Spanish media was in mourning.
Who would have thought that Real Madrid could not even qualify for the group stage?
Of course, head coach Michel is to blame for his formation, but he put out the fire midway. Should all the problems be put to him?
The media immediately pointed the finger at Chairman Calderon and Mijatovic, believing that these two people had completely disrupted Real Madrid.
In order to calm everyone's anger, after the team lost the right to advance to Bayern at home, Real Madrid announced on the spot that the fire-fighting coach Michel was dismissed. The Spanish coach who had only been dismissed from Tottenham Hotspur a few days ago,
Juande Ramos becomes Real Madrid's new coach.
This is Real Madrid's third head coach this season.
Everything looks the same as it did in 2006.
De La Morena, the gold medal host of Radio Ser, said in the program: "In 2006, Real Madrid also changed coaches twice, replacing them with an unparalleled master, and in exchange for a double championship, Real Madrid has once again
After two coaching changes, can Ramos perform the miracle that Gao Shen created in 2006 this time?"
Judging from the tone, de la Morena is obviously very pessimistic.
Gao Shen is a legend that cannot be copied!

…………
I was in Cyprus and was about to get on the plane.
Mourinho received news from southern Italy.
When he learned that Naples had won 4-0, Mourinho was standing on the second floor of the terminal at Larnaca International Airport in Cyprus, looking at the Mediterranean Sea at the end of his sight. He couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
Inter Milan flew to Cyprus to challenge Anorthosis away from home. The team's performance was not satisfactory.
Three to three.
This is the answer sheet handed over by Inter Milan.
After four rounds of group matches, Inter Milan now has eight points with two wins and two draws, ranking first in the group.
But the remaining three teams are basically novices pecking each other, and they can no longer shake Inter Milan's top position.
Especially Werder Bremen from the Bundesliga. After four rounds, this team only got three points. In the fourth round, they even lost to Greece's Panathinaikos 0-3 at home.
But Mourinho is still not satisfied.
Especially when Gao Shen and his Napoli team are performing so well.
"Our on-site scout in Naples rated this game very highly. He believed that Naples has adjusted to a very high overall level." Villas-Boas said with concern.
Currently, in Serie A, Napoli is two points ahead of Inter Milan.
"It's not surprising." Mourinho gritted his molars and said in a deep voice: "He has been coaching for more than two years, and now he has really coached this team. It is not easy."
Boas nodded.
Anyone who knows professional football knows that it is very difficult to shape a team.
Just like the current Inter Milan, it is far from reaching the stage of taking shape.
After all, there is still little time left for Mourinho.
Especially players such as Lucio, Moutinho and Pandev joined relatively late, and Mourinho needs to constantly adjust.
Not just anyone can come to a new team and immediately show their strength.
Just like Van der Vaart, he was amazing when he first went to Real Madrid, but what about now?
Zidane still needs half a year to adapt to Real Madrid.
"I have long guessed that they want to make a difference in the Champions League this season. When they were drawn into the group of death, I was happy for a while, but I didn't expect..." Mourinho shook his head and sighed.
"Gao Shen is really ruthless!"
Be ruthless to yourself, be ruthless to your players, and be ruthless to your opponents!
According to Mourinho's original conjecture, Naples should be distracted by the Champions League, which would then affect the team's performance in Serie A. This would be a good opportunity for Inter Milan.
In Mourinho's plan for Moratti, he wanted to train Inter Milan in two years.
The goal in the first season is to win the Serie A championship.
But who would have thought that Naples would insist on fighting on two fronts, and even after being drawn into the group of death, they still insisted on fighting on two fronts, and achieved very good results on both fronts.
Regarding this point, Mourinho has nothing to say except a capital word of service.
"Based on their performance in the group stage, if they qualify as top spot, they might really have a chance to enter the semi-finals in the European competition." Villas-Boas guessed.
Mourinho nodded, but after thinking about it, he shook his head, "It's hard to say."
After a pause, he explained: "Real Madrid, Bayern and Zenit are all very strong. If Naples can break through, their strength has been proven and the team has been trained, but entering the knockout round is a different game logic.
"
"Gao Shen has always been good at targeted tactics." Boas had a very good impression of Gao Shen.
This was also the reason why he made a special trip to Covelciano to listen to advanced lectures.
"Yes, but in the knockout rounds, targeted tactics are an all-round competition for all teams. There cannot be any shortcomings, otherwise they will be caught by their opponents. But Naples is too young, lacks experience, and has sophisticated tactics.
On the radical side.”
Boas understood.
In the group stage, Real Madrid, Bayern and Zenit did not play conservatively when facing Naples, so Naples was able to advance triumphantly.
But in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, the competition is all about comprehensiveness and stability. At that time, they will encounter more teams with excellent defensive capabilities, such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and other Premier League teams. This is another story for Naples.
In fact, Barcelona in La Liga is becoming more and more skilled in passing and controlling the ball, which is entirely possible to create problems for Naples.
Even in Serie A, Napoli is not truly invincible.
"Now, there are still twenty-five days before we meet Naples in the league."
Mourinho looked at the sea and sky in the distance, full of longing.
"Our injured players have basically recovered and are returning to the team one after another. This is an opportunity for us to continuously strengthen our strength, so next, we must focus more on the domestic league."
"Naples has a good momentum in the group right now, but Bayern is also good. Gao Shen definitely wants to win the first place in the group. They and Bayern are very close in the group points. Whoever can win the first place is possible."
In comparison, Inter Milan's team was much more relaxed.
Werder Bremen, Panathinaikos and Anorthosis are all noobs pecking each other and cannot shake Inter Milan at all.
"So, we will recharge our batteries and wait for Gao Shen and his Naples at the Meazza Stadium!"
When he said this, Mourinho gritted his teeth again and said harshly.
"I hope he won't let me down and fall behind and lose points in the middle!"
