After playing Zenit, Napoli could not stop for a moment and began to prepare for the eleventh round of Serie A. The game against Sampdoria, the entire team still maintained a fast-paced and high-intensity operation.
But all the busy work is left to the assistant. Gao Shen is more responsible for making requests and assigning tasks, and he is not needed for specific implementation.
This is also a kind of division of labor among the Naples coaching staff. Even Gao Shen himself made no secret in an interview with UEFA that he would not lead the team in training at all.
"Without the coaching staff, I wouldn't be coaching at all!"
This is a true statement, but many people think it is a polite statement.
Of course, what Gao Shen is talking about is the team, not the people in the current team.
Because there are no people in the team, he can form a new team.
Gao Shen is still Gao Shen, but it is unknown whether these people can succeed without this team.
One advantage of this kind of division of labor and cooperation is that it allows Gao Shen to calm down and think about things carefully.
At the same time, it also allows him to take some time every night to play his favorite World of Warcraft.
When Sari came to Gao Shen's home with his notes, Gao Shen was playing World of Warcraft in his room. He called this free time, which usually lasted about half an hour to an hour.
At first, Sarri was also very strange, because it was definitely new for a head coach to play online games, but gradually, like Zidane, Carlo and Lucas, he accepted this "weird" head coach.
Weird things.
For example, he never expected that Gao Shen would name his character Zidane in the game.
When he learned about this, he asked Zidane strangely: "Can you bear it?"
A hint of murderous intent flashed through Zidane's eyes, but they soon faded away.
He fought against it, but to no avail.
I can't bear it anymore, I have to bear it some more!
…
When Gao Shen plays games, he rarely downloads copies. He just has nothing to do, fishing around, cooking, and collecting various materials.
Every day when he goes online, he will receive a letter from Su Qing's "Mourinho", which always writes about what happened to her in the past day, some in the game and some in reality.
She would also send Gao Shen some equipment that Gao Shen could use from what she encountered in the game, and sometimes she would ask Gao Shen to help her collect some materials and props.
Gao Shen basically does these things.
If he had nothing to do, he would ride the Paladin's free pony and wander around the entire world of Azeroth.
Ever since Su Qing started working, her and Gao Shen's time for playing games had been staggered, but the two seemed to still be playing together. This feeling was very special, and it was one of the reasons why Gao Shen played games when he had time.
It could be as short as half an hour or as long as an hour, and he would quit the game.
When I went out again, I saw Sarri pestering Carlo and asking questions in the living room, Zidane was talking on the phone with his wife and children in Spain, and Lucas was playing with his laptop. No need to guess, this
I must be picking up girls on social networks.
Gao Shen discovered a very interesting thing, that is, Sari has a strong learning ability and is a bit like a curious baby. He always wants to ask questions clearly and think clearly about everything he encounters.
Strictly speaking, he didn't come from a major, but it had a really big impact on Sarri.
There are many things in professional football that are simply incomprehensible unless you have been immersed in the industry for many years.
Just like Lippi, why does he have the confidence to say that Sacchi's ideas are not new, but the training methods are different?
It's because Lippi has played football and is still a very successful professional player.
Many times, people outside think very complicatedly, but in fact, for people who have actually played football, they will think that there is actually no problem at all and it is very simple.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that those who are not from a professional background are not good. I can only say that each has its own problems.
Gao Shen feels more and more the benefit of the [Tactics Library] to him, because in it, he can not only see some of the essence of the head coach's thoughts, but also learn from Lippi, Ferguson, Van Gaal, Cruyff
From a head coach who has a professional background, he can learn a lot of knowledge that a head coach who does not have a professional background will never be able to learn.
…
"What are you thinking about?"
After Gao Shen came over and sat down, Lucas asked.
He really knows Gao Shen very well.
After all, after traveling from Gao Shen, he was Gao Shen's most trusted confidant.
In fact, there are people at Gao Shen's current home every night.
Zidane lived in his house. Although Lucas rented a house by himself, occasionally he would stay overnight at Gaoshen when he was late.
Carlo's home is nearby, so he often comes here for a walk when he has nothing to do.
The same goes for the rest of the coaching staff, they just move around when they have nothing to do.
Gao Shen didn't object, since he lived alone anyway.
"I'm thinking, should I compete with Bayern for first place in this group?" Gao Shen said with a casual smile.
Who knows, as soon as he finished speaking, Lucas, Zidane and Carlo all sneered, hummed and stopped talking.
This made Sarri wonder, what's the problem?
Seeing that Sarri was confused, Lucas was still a good person and explained: "He is a Virgo, and he is a very, very weird Virgo. He can't sleep if something happens."
"So?" Sarri still didn't understand.
"So, do you think this is a problem for him?"
Sari's mind turned around and he understood.
Since you are a Virgo, how could you leave yourself with such a problem?
Is he willing to play second fiddle to Bayern?
Therefore, we must fight for the first place.
But since we have to fight, why bother?
Feeling Sarri's questioning gaze, Lucas nodded, as if to say: This is the weird thing about him.
Even he knows he must fight, but he still struggles.
Confused about how to fight!
Gao Shen couldn't help laughing when he saw Sari being frightened and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense."
Gao Shen is indeed a Virgo, but not that outrageous.
"Actually, you already have the answer in your mind. You will definitely fight for the top spot in this group. The key is the fourteenth round, the away game against Inter Milan. With the current situation, Inter Milan has locked in the top spot in the group early.
, and our game against Inter Milan was just after the fifth round of the group."
If you want to compete for the first place in the group, you must try your best to face Real Madrid at home in the fifth round.
After playing against Real Madrid, we will be visiting Meazza at the weekend.
This will be another battle for the top spot in the Serie A standings.
"Next, we still have to continue the rotation, pay attention to training, and make some preparations in advance." Gao Shen ordered.
"I'll make the arrangements." Carlo nodded and agreed.
Gao Shen looked at Lucas again, "Your people should keep an eye on Inter Milan. I heard that their wounded have basically recovered. Touch them to see how they are doing."
"Leave it to me," Lucas said.
"If I'm not wrong, Mourinho's focus this season is still on the league." Gao Shen guessed.
Inter Milan regards Serie A as a ban. It lost the championship last season and will definitely win it back this season.
Of course, the Champions League is Moratti's dream that he has been pursuing for many years. If possible, Inter Milan will not give up.
So, next it all depends on your own abilities.

…………
Three days after playing against Zenit, Naples ushered in the eleventh round of Serie A.
In the home game against Sampdoria, Gao Shen once again made a significant rotation of the team, and finally defeated Sampdoria 2-0 at home with the goals of Callejon and Pelle.
Mazzarri's team's overall performance dropped sharply after losing Maggio, and they are currently struggling to avoid relegation.
Inter Milan relied on Cruz's goal in stoppage time to narrowly beat Udinese 1-0.
There is news that Mourinho and Cruz have reconciled.
Milan scored first in the away game, but were equalized by Lecce, and ended up in a 1-1 draw.
…
Midweek, the Italian Cup round of 16 knockout rounds.
Naples was lucky in the draw this time and drew the only third-division team, Salernitana.
Gao Shen played with a full substitute lineup, and even brought on two local young players, Insigne and Verratti.
Unsurprisingly, Naples defeated their opponents 4-0 in the away game.
In the 55th minute, after the team had already led by four goals, Gao Shen changed two players in a row, allowing Insigne and Verratti to play for more than half an hour. Verratti was the first to play.
Played for Napoli.
After successfully advancing, the quarterfinals knockout rounds were scheduled for late January.
…
This weekend, the twelfth round of Serie A.
This round started with Juventus beating Genoa 4-1. Inter Milan defeated Palermo 2-0 away with Ibrahimovic scoring twice.
Milan also played at home, beating Verona 1-0.
Roma defeated Lazio 1-0 in the same city derby.
Naples challenged Atlanta away from home and encountered a tenacious sniper attack from their opponents.
Delneri faced Naples with his best 442, which was his main formation that created Chievo's miracle.
Although they were at home, they still adopted a defensive tactic and defended very tightly. This allowed Naples to have an advantage in the first hour, but it was never able to convert it into a goal.
There aren't even many threatening attacks.
But in the 60th minute, Gao Shen once again showed his on-the-spot commanding side and replaced Rakitic with Pastore.
The Argentinian midfielder came on as a substitute for just one minute, and with his first touch of the ball, he made a breakthrough in the midfield and sent a wonderful pass for Di Maria to assist Hamsik's goal.
Ten minutes later, Sanchez scored another victory and sealed the victory for Naples, 2-0.
Subsequently, Gao Shen made substitutions one after another.
At the last moment of the game, Nainggolan, who came on as a substitute, scored another victory for Naples in the 89th minute. In one minute of stoppage time, Hamsik sent a through ball and Cavani sealed the victory.
.
Four to zero!
Naples finally relied on their offense in the last half hour to defeat Atlanta with four goals and win another three points.
In this battle, Gao Shen's on-the-spot command and substitution adjustments were once again recognized by the entire Italian football world.
Even the French newspaper L'Equipe praised it, "In the past two seasons, Gao Shen has repeatedly performed on-the-spot command, and he has become more and more like a master tactician!"

They said: The darker the book, the worse the reality. I have already written it, and I will try my best to make Real Madrid as dark as possible. Good luck!!
