Since Naples' game was one day later than Inter Milan's, Gao Shen specially took Zidane and Lucas to sit in the stands of the Meazza Stadium to watch the Italian derby between Inter Milan and Juventus.
Because a week later, Naples will also appear in this stadium.
There were 80,000 Inter Milan fans attending this match, which shows how seriously both sides take it.
The formation of the two head coaches is very interesting.
Ranieri's side is stable, and it is still the 442 that Juventus is good at. The difference is that he has lined up a double midfielder combination like Thiago and Sissoko, making it clear that he wants to carry out defensive counterattacks in the away game.
Inter Milan is also well prepared, but it has sent out more signals.
Since Mourinho started coaching Inter Milan, he has been trying 433 repeatedly because he once threatened to bring the most advanced football concepts to Inter Milan.
From 433 to 4231, and once playing 442 in the middle, Mourinho has been constantly trying and adjusting.
By this game, he actually returned to Mancini's four-three-one-two.
This is not the point. The point is that after Cruz came off the bench in the last round and scored a goal, Adriano actually appeared in the starting lineup this round, partnering with Ibrahimovic.
.
As soon as he saw this first-answer lineup list, Gao Shen couldn't help but praise it.
"This guy is very arrogant and arrogant, but he is also really powerful."
Zidane nodded repeatedly.
Who says it’s not?
Everyone still complained that when Gao Shen first coached Real Madrid, he suppressed Ronaldo first and then re-activated Ronaldo.
From a management perspective, this is not only training Ronaldo so that he can be used by advanced players, but more importantly, it is a signal.
When Gao Shen re-activated Ronaldo, the whole world knew that Real Madrid's locker room was fine.
The same is true now for Mourinho.
Even, it took him less time than Gao Shen.
Previously, everyone was worried about internal strife at Inter Milan, thinking that Cruz and Adriano were at odds with Mourinho.
But now, both players have been substituted and started one after another.
Another very interesting thing is that Stankovic, Zanetti, Figo, Vieira, Crespo and others are back in the starting lineup and substitute list.
If combined with Mourinho's return to Mancini's four-three-one-two, wouldn't this be more interesting?
This is tantamount to telling everyone that when we are fighting for the championship, let's not fight internally, stability is important, and we should keep our guns focused on the outside world.
Some people may think so, isn't this nonsense?
The people are still the same, the tactics are still the same, what use do you, Mourinho, have?
But looking at the game again, Inter Milan played steadily and firmly suppressed Juventus throughout the game.
When it comes to creativity, it's really not very good. There are still some problems, but it has also created a lot of opportunities.
The center back combination of Lucio and Samuel, plus Maxwell and Maicon, with the back three of Muntari, Cambiasso and Zanetti in front, made Inter Milan's defense even more impregnable.
Juventus couldn't find any chance at all.
Not to mention scoring goals, there were only a handful of shots on goal.
Looking at the performance of specific players, Adriano performed quite well. Although it is not comparable to his peak period, at least he also showed the level of a center that meets the standards and positioning of Inter Milan.
In the 72nd minute, Adriano received a long pass from his teammate in the penalty area. He used his strong body to suppress Lerottaglie and Chiellini. After grabbing the ball, Ibrahimo
Viccai fired a furious shot near the penalty spot.
Although the kick did not result in a goal, it caused Juventus goalkeeper Manninger to make a save. Muntari came from behind and shot first, scoring the only goal of the game for Inter Milan.
One to zero!
This score was maintained until the end.
…
"This game is a complete victory!" Zidane couldn't help but praise it after watching the game.
Juventus only had three shots in the game, none of which were on target.
Inter Milan took 18 shots, five of them were on target, and they scored one goal.
In addition, in other offensive and defensive statistics, Inter Milan has an overall advantage, and the number of steals is twice that of Juventus.
The Bianconeri had fifteen steals tonight.
In other words, Inter Milan actually completely crushed Juventus, but unfortunately, they only scored one goal.
"Be sure to pay attention to Zanetti. His position activates Maicon and Muntari." Gao Shen told Lucas.
In the last round of the game, Mourinho asked Muntari to play in a very awkward position, as an attacking midfielder.
At that time, there was a saying in the media that Mourinho was learning from Gao Shen, because when Gao Shen played against AC Milan, he once asked Vidal to play in the midfield to restrain Pirlo.
This time, Muntari served as the third midfielder, but in actual games, he often moved forward to a very advanced position and participated in the attack.
Nowadays, Muntari's performance is really fierce.
Gao Shen's memory of him was a little blurry, and he understood why he became confused later.
With his current performance, he can be called Inter Milan's midfielder. He was born in 1984 and is only 24 years old. He is very young and has an unlimited future. Why can't he do it?
But the most important thing is Mourinho.
The people are basically still the same, and the tactics are still the same, but the results are completely different from those during the Mancini period.
This is the difference between Mancini and Mourinho!
…………
…………
The day after Inter Milan defeated Juventus with a goal, Naples faced Cagliari at the San Paolo Stadium.
Due to the upcoming Champions League match against Real Madrid in midweek, Gao Shen once again made a substantial rotation.
In the first nine minutes, Hamsik opened the scoring for Naples.
But in the 56th minute of the second half, Diego Lopez equalized for Cagliari.
Until the 84th minute, Parejo, who came on as a substitute, sent a precise through ball, assisting Callejon to score again, and Naples defeated Cagliari 2-1.
This is a close victory.
…
After finishing the thirteenth round of Serie A, Gao Shen and the team began to prepare for the Champions League.
Just wait for work and wait for the arrival of Juande Ramos' Real Madrid.
Before heading to Italy, Real Madrid had just defeated Huelva 1-0 at the Bernabeu Stadium.
After the coaching change, Real Madrid's morale is still gradually recovering.
Although before the game, whether it was head coach Juande Ramos, captain Raul, or other stars in the team, everyone shouted slogans loudly, but in fact, everyone could see that Real Madrid’s away game was very difficult.
It's hard to make a difference.
Being eliminated from the Champions League early, the Europa League is even more useless to Real Madrid.
Juande Ramos' real goal is also the domestic La Liga.
But this does not mean that Real Madrid can give up the last two games of the Champions League.
As Gao Shen said when commenting on Mourinho, many times, when the head coach makes a decision, he not only needs to consider the actual interests, but also the player's psychology and the entire strategic layout.
No one will put forward any performance requirements for these two games, but precisely because of this, Juande Ramos must play his own thing in these two games and show the Real Madrid he coaches. It is different from Real Madrid in the past, so that the team can rekindle its fighting spirit.
This is true for the head coach, and it is true for the players as well.
Changing coaches is like changing swords, that's the truth.
…
Facts have proved that Gao Shen's judgment is correct.
Real Madrid, who were eliminated from the group early, played even more vigorously at the Sao Paulo Stadium.
After completely unloading their burdens, they showed an aggressive momentum from the beginning, with the momentum to devour their opponents in one go. They even embarrassed Naples, who played at home and were known for their aggressive attacks.
This is also something that can't be helped.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Now that Naples has put on shoes, they are naturally not willing to fight for their lives against Real Madrid.
What's more, Gao Shen knows Real Madrid too well. How long can this momentum last?
After holding on for more than 20 minutes, Naples gradually regained the situation.
In the 37th minute, with an assist from Di Maria, Cavani scored with a header from close range between Pepe and Ramos, opening the scoring for Naples.
After grabbing the goal, Naples concentrated on counterattacking, allowing Real Madrid to press forward.
But Juande Ramos also learned the lesson and began to seek stability.
After changing sides in the second half, Naples took advantage of the kick-off opportunity and attacked fiercely for a while, but Real Madrid retreated firmly.
Although Pepe and Ramos are still at an unreliable stage, there is no doubt about the strength of these two players. When they calm down to defend, coupled with the protection of the midfield, Juande Ramos The defense is well organized.
In the end, Naples defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at home.
…
Shortly after the game in Naples, Lucas also received news from St. Petersburg.
Bayern Munich visited St. Petersburg in the ice and snow. Under the constraints of various harsh factors such as the away weather, Klinsmann's team drew 0-0 with Zenit away from home.
As a result, Real Madrid's lead in the group stage expanded to three points.
When he heard the news, Gao Shen couldn't help clenching his fists excitedly and cheering.
"yeah!"
Members of the Naples coaching staff, as well as the players who heard the news later, were all beaming with joy.
This means that as long as Naples does not lose three goals or more when visiting the Allianz Arena in the last round, it will be considered a net loss of two goals, relying on the goal difference gained from beating Real Madrid 7-0. , Naples will win the first place in the group.
Soon, the fans at the St. Paul Stadium also received the news, and everyone cheered excitedly, cheering and cheering for all the fans.
The team's goal for the season is to qualify for the Champions League group stage. When they were drawn into the group of death, many people were worried that Naples would not be able to do so.
But now, the team has not only done it, but also exceeded the task.
All the Naples fans cheered, especially when they saw head coach Gao Shen hugging Naples players one by one, they couldn't help but shout Gao Shen's name.
This caused the Real Madrid players who were about to walk off the field to stop in their tracks.
Especially Raul, Ramos, Casillas and others looked at Gao Shen from a distance and felt very uncomfortable.
If Gao Shen was still at Real Madrid, they should be the ones cheering now!
