Unknowingly, it has been three years since I came to this world.
Gao Shen felt the impact of the butterfly effect more and more deeply.
This catfish has changed too much.
Just like the Brazilian central defender in front of him, David Luiz.
I still remember that when he first coached Naples, Gao Shen once suggested that David Luiz grow a shaggy afro. David Luiz was also very moved at that time, so he actually kept it and thought it was very fun.
For the longest time, he looked like a golden lion with long hair, which became his trademark.
But I don’t know when it started. Gao Shen vaguely remembered that after the team’s away draw with Inter Milan last season, he was severely scolded by Gao Shen and threatened to sell him, so he went to give his hair to
Cut short.
At first, it was just a little shorter, and then gradually, he cut it shorter and shorter.
Up to now, he basically has refreshing short hair.
Gao Shen originally thought that David Luiz should have an afro to become stronger, but gradually, he discovered that the shorter the hair, the more stable David Luiz would be.
Gao Shen's cultivation and important use of David Luiz is obvious to all.
Almost as long as he is not injured or sick, and as long as he is not fighting on multiple fronts, David Luiz will definitely be the main player.
Gao Shen has stated in front of the media more than once that David Luiz is synonymous with the perfect modern central defender in his mind.
But the premise is that he must stay focused and calm at all times.
Not many players can be named and recognized like this by Gao Shen.
After receiving high attention and training, coupled with the tempering of the Italian league style, David Luiz's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and his defense has become more and more stable, but he still has brain short-circuit from time to time.
Gao Shen often made fun of him, and even scolded him from time to time, but this kid was optimistic and cheerful by nature, he would just laugh and laugh, and he never took these things to heart.
But this time it's obviously different.
Because Naples is going to compete in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, and David Luiz is going to face Drogba.
Bonucci's one-on-one defense is weak, which requires David Luiz to step up front.
…
"Three years ago at this time, I took over Real Madrid, a club full of superstars."
Gao Shen pulled up two chairs and sat at the door of his office, looking at the training ground in the distance and chatting with David Luiz.
This is a sophisticated style, and he can chat with you anytime, anywhere.
"Real Madrid was really in a mess at that time, but it was very interesting. They had the best and most luxurious lineup in the world."
"Our coach Zidane was still on the team at the time, Ronaldo, Raul, Carlos, Beckham, Guti...and Robinho, and many, many others. There were stars in almost every position.
.”
"That team looked very strong. Logically speaking, they should be invincible on the court, but no, they were a mess on the court. They were ten points behind Barcelona in the league and lost to Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round at home.
, the Copa del Rey was defeated by Zaragoza by a huge score, and the situation looked very dangerous..."
David Luiz has heard of this history.
It is estimated that fans all over the world who are familiar with football will be familiar with it, because the media often bring up this period of history and talk about it again and again when reporting on in-depth reports. Everyone is familiar with it and understands it.
But Gao Shen obviously doesn't want to show off his past.
"Tell me, why was Real Madrid so bad at that time?" Gao Shen suddenly asked.
David Luiz almost blurted out: Because of the superstar strategy, the superstars are also getting older...
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
If it is because of the superstar strategy and the aging of the superstars, then why can Real Madrid's performance undergo such earth-shaking changes after Gao Shen was coached?
You know, later on, Real Madrid won the double championship, and the superstars also contributed a lot.
After thinking for a while, the Brazilian central defender shook his head and waited for the head coach to reveal his answer.
Gao Shen smiled at him and said, "You are too lazy."
"Boss, as long as you are here, I don't need to use my brain too much. I will listen to you anyway." David Lewis said cheerfully.
Gao Shen wanted to say: Shit, if you listen to me and I tell you not to be promiscuous, why can't you do it?
But in fact, Gao Shen also understands in his heart that this is mainly a matter of David Luiz's personality and habits.
"You know, when he was at Sporting Lisbon, Cristiano Ronaldo was not the most talented player. In Portugal, there were many players with better talent than him at that time, such as Quare, who is now unable to play at Inter Milan.
Sima.”
"I still remember that back then, Quaresma's breakthrough on the right wing was stronger and more threatening than Cristiano Ronaldo, and he also had an outside instep shot, so he was valued by the giant Barcelona very early back then.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't enter Ferguson's field of vision until 2003."
David Lewis listened silently. He knew that the boss must have other deep intentions when talking about him.
"Cristiano Ronaldo was not as good as Quaresma back then, mainly because his movements were too fancy, too wild, and unstable. But in the Premier League, defensive defenders will not be polite to you, so Ferguson wanted to help Ronaldo get rid of this problem.
, he even asked that during training, the defenders would stare at Ronaldo and tackle him. He would be afraid when he tackled, and he would change when he tackled."
"Quaresma also has a similar problem, but unfortunately, he did not meet a coach like Ferguson. After the setback at Barcelona, he returned to the Portuguese Super League and returned to his comfort zone, while Ronaldo is strong
And he bravely changed himself, adapted to the Premier League, and made himself stronger."
When David Luiz heard this, he vaguely understood what the coach wanted to say to him.
He seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to fully understand.
"Once, I had dinner with Real Madrid's former coach, who is now the coach of the Spanish national team, Del Bosque. He told me that the Real Madrid under my coaching was the best he had ever seen. Over the years, even under his coaching.
In those years, the best Real Madrid."
"He said that he coached Real Madrid and won two Champions Leagues, but it was never just about superstars, not just Raul, Zidane and Figo, but equally important, McManaman, Sol
Larry and Mark are waiting for a group of outstanding players."
Having said this, Gao Shen paused again, letting David Luiz slowly think about his words.
After a minute or two, Gao Shen spoke again.
"The reason why Real Madrid under my coaching has undergone earth-shaking changes from before is because every player in the team is willing to change and even sacrifice themselves for the sake of the entire team and the whole."
"The reason why Cristiano Ronaldo was able to adapt to the Premier League, integrate into Manchester United, make himself stronger and become one of the best players in the world now is because he changed himself, suppressed his personality, and was more talented than him.
A good Quaresma fails because he is unwilling to change himself."
"Bosque's two Champions League wins are due to both the superstars in the team and the contributions of the green leaf players. The two are indispensable and have never been separated, because in our football world, there is a term called whole!
"
I don't know why, Gao Shen's tone was very calm and he spoke unhurriedly, but when David Lewis heard it, his heart was surging and his blood was boiling.
He finally understood what the coach was trying to say to him.
"I have talked to many people, including Ferguson, including Ancelotti, including Sacchi, Capello and Lippi, etc. From their conversations and from my personal understanding, I understand one thing."
"On the football field, superstars are not the most important, strength is not the most important, and even famous coaches are not the most important."
"All those invincible great teams have one thing in common, that is, they all have a group of people who do their best for themselves and for the team's goals, and at the same time are able to sacrifice, suppress and restrain their own personalities and habits, and wholeheartedly
Integrate into the team and serve the team.”
When Gao Shen said this, he paused again.
He noticed that David Luiz's expression changed.
The Brazilians understood and wanted to understand.
"You know, when I asked Robinho to reduce dribbling, many people questioned me; when I asked Ronaldo to participate in defense, many people also questioned me; when I created defensive counterattack tactics for Real Madrid, many people still questioned me.
I……"
"But you see, I helped Ronaldo win the only Champions League in his career; I helped Beckham win all the championships since joining Real Madrid; Robinho performed significantly better when I coached..."
"You have to remember, David, the championship always belongs to everyone and the team. If any player wants to be the best player, he must first become part of his own team, and then become the best player in the team.
good."
David Luiz completely understood what Gao Shen meant.
The head coach hopes that he can better restrain himself, restrain his nature, restrain his habits when playing football, and do everything based on the interests of the team.
Because only in this way can Naples succeed, and only if Naples succeeds can David Luiz become the best central defender in the world.
And this is what Gao Shen expected from him!
When thinking of this, David Lewis was filled with emotion and gratitude.
When he was in Brazil, he was just an unknown person, but after he came to Naples, it was Gao Shen who trusted and supported him wholeheartedly and tried every means to cultivate him, so that he could achieve what he has today.
Regarding Gao Shen, he always said what he just said: As long as Gao Shen asked him to do something, he would not frown.
But now, Gao Shen has put higher demands on him.
Not only is he required to obey and execute, but he is also required to devote himself wholeheartedly to it, even going against his own nature and restraining his habits.
This is undoubtedly more difficult, even very difficult.
"Boss, I understand. Don't worry, I will do my best to fulfill your request. I will not let you down!" David Lewis stood up from his seat and solemnly promised.
Gao Shen looked at him and nodded slightly, "I believe you!"
