469 The Devil

March 21, St Paul’s Stadium.

In the 29th round of Serie A, Naples faced AC Milan at home.

When the game reached the 23rd minute, Naples surrounded AC Milan near the center circle.

Flamini picked up a pass from Beckham on the right, but Naples' winger Di Maria retreated and headed the ball forward. The Argentine winger started quickly and left Beckham behind in an instant.

After catching up with the ball, he drove straight into AC Milan's penalty area.

Di Maria's dribbling ability was very good, and he immediately attracted the attention of players such as Zambrotta, Maldini and Favalli, as well as the trailing Pirlo, and he also decisively penetrated the ribs.

And found a gap at the front edge of the restricted area.

Cavani pressed forward into the penalty area, forcing Maldini and Favalli to retreat, fearing that Di Maria would pass Cavani, but in this way, a flaw was exposed at the front of the penalty area.

Di Maria decisively seized the opportunity, sent a diagonal pass with his left foot, and sent the ball to the right rib of the penalty area.

Sanchez quickly caught up with him, and before Jankulovski was in place, he volleyed with his right foot and sent the ball into the goal guarded by Dida.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"

"Sanchez used a volley to break AC Milan's goal, one to zero!"

"In the 23rd minute, Naples finally scored!"

In an instant, the entire Sao Paulo Stadium was boiling.



After Naples scored, AC Milan tried to launch a wave of attacks.

In the 28th minute, AC Milan inserted into Naples' penalty area from the right and tried to cross to find Pato. However, Bonucci intercepted the ball first and quickly passed it to David Luiz.

The two central defenders of Naples are also considered to be talented and bold, and can pass the ball in the penalty area.

After David Luiz dribbled the ball out of the penalty area, he quickly passed a long pass directly to the frontcourt.

Cavani grabbed the first spot, suppressed Maldini with his body, stopped the ball, turned around and rushed with the ball.

AC Milan's defense quickly chased back, but Cavani dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area. Suddenly he made an emergency stop and did not pass the ball to Sanchez on the right. Instead, he passed the ball back to let the following follow-up.

Hamsik came up and shot directly.

The ball once again penetrated AC Milan's goal.

Two to zero!

The San Paolo stadium went completely crazy!



After scoring two goals in a row, Napoli was almost out of control, and AC Milan was beaten violently when caught.

The Rossoneri are currently ranked fourth in Serie A, and their results this season are not satisfactory. Ancelotti even stated early that he will leave after the end of this season, which has also affected the morale and fighting spirit of the Rossoneri.

Nowadays, AC Milan has suffered setbacks on all fronts, and there is only one goal left this season, which is to maintain qualification for the Champions League.

As for the rest, no one takes it too seriously.

In the second half, Naples created several opportunities in a row. Once, Di Maria even formed a single shot on the left side of the penalty area, but the angle of the shot was too small and was saved by Dida.

Di Maria quickly stepped in for a follow-up shot, but still failed to score.

Almost the entire game, Napoli was pressing AC Milan, which made Ancelotti's team very embarrassed in defense.

But in the end, Naples failed to score again.

2-0, with goals from Sanchez and Hamsik, Napoli defeated AC Milan.



"Hey, David!"

After the game, Gao Shen had just hugged his players when he immediately saw Beckham walking towards him. He took the initiative to greet him, stretched out his hands and hugged Beckham early.

Gao Shen still felt extremely sad for this former favorite when he was coaching at Real Madrid.

At that time, after Florentino stepped down, the situation of the superstars was not smooth. Zidane was the wisest and decided to retire early. Beckham was eventually forced to go to Major League Baseball and is now on loan back to AC Milan.

"Boss, you are doing great now." Beckham praised with a smile.

At the beginning, Gao Shen was just a rookie, but he was still able to take care of Real Madrid's locker room.

At that time, Beckham realized how profound and extraordinary it was.

Nowadays, Gao Shen is already the most popular top coach in European football. Especially his words a few days ago caused a sensation in the media around the world.

In addition to being the head coach, Gao Shenke is also one of the most famous internet celebrities on the Internet.

Speaking of this, Beckham is even more impressed.

Like Gao Shen, he also registered on Twitter, and he even entrusted a third-party company to help "operate" it, but the rate of increase in followers was still far behind that of Gao Shen, a fanatic.

"I even have some doubts, boss, you said that not to gain fans, right?" Beckham and Gao Shen put their arms around each other affectionately, looking like old friends they hadn't seen for many years.

In fact, they often interact and chat privately on Twitter.

"What the hell, have you discovered all this?" Gao Shen asked in a thoughtful tone.

Just when Beckham wanted to answer the call, Zidane also came over.

The two superstars fought side by side in the past and had a very good relationship. Now when they meet again, they naturally exchange polite greetings.

Gao Shen stood aside and listened to the conversation between the two, and many interesting thoughts came to his mind.

Both are superstars, equally powerful, but Beckham and Zidane have taken two completely different paths.

Zidane focuses on football, while Beckham has been taking the commercial star route. Even when he went to Major League Baseball, it was to further build his own star halo and facilitate business operations.

Later, the Beckham family became celebrities and even became a gold-lettered brand with strong financial power.

As for the businesses they invest in, they are basically not very profitable.

Whether it is Beckham's team or Victoria's design brand, they are basically losing money, and they all rely on Beckham's golden brand in the field of football to make money to subsidize the losses.

Zidane focused on football and later led Real Madrid to great achievements and left his own footprints in football history. However, in terms of making money and secular social status, he is obviously slightly inferior to Beckham.

.

It can only be said that everyone has different choices, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong, success or failure.

But from the head coach's perspective, Gao Shen can actually understand Ferguson's hatred of iron.

Because Beckham could have achieved greater success.

Although Beckham failed to meet expectations in football, he successfully entered the upper class and became a popular symbol. This is something that all football people, including Beckenbauer and others, dare not imagine.



"You've been a bit high-profile lately."

After seeing off Beckham, Gao Shen walked to the visiting team's coaching bench to shake hands with Ancelotti.

Naturally, the two of them had another round of verbal sparring. They were so familiar with each other that it was normal for them to taunt each other.

If you win on the court, can't you still make some sarcastic comments about it?

There is still some depth to this level of sophistication.

But Ancelotti is obviously more concerned about his duel with Arsenal.

"Is it very high-profile? I don't think so." Gao Shen said in a pretentious manner.

Ancelotti's face darkened and he almost kicked him away.

Damn it, don’t think that I can’t play football now that I’m old or fat.

I think back then, I was also a world-class midfielder!

Pretending to be a pen in front of me? Are you looking for death?

Gao Shen chuckled. For some reason, he and Mourinho particularly liked seeing Ancelotti looking deflated.

There's nothing I can do about it, this damn fat guy is so fat and so cute, he's like a doormat.

"What I'm most worried about now is the national team competition." Gao Shen changed the subject.

After the 28th round, the European leagues were suspended and more than a week of national team games ushered in.

From the 22nd to April 5th, there will be no games during this period.

After the players return from the national team, Naples will immediately set off and head north to Genoa to challenge Sampdoria.

This will be another hard fight.

After playing against Sampdoria, it was time to travel to London for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

During this back and forth, Naples players were also running back and forth, and the game was quite unfavorable to them.

The reason why Mourinho vowed to wait for Naples to make mistakes is actually here.

The Nerazzurri do not have to fight on multiple fronts, they only need to focus on the domestic Serie A.

But Naples is different, they still want to play in the Champions League.

The national team, Serie A and the Champions League, and the Coppa Italia at the end of April. So many games coming all at once will be a huge test for Naples.

Ancelotti understands Gao Shen's dilemma.

"The national team competition is indeed very troublesome, especially at this sensitive moment. The players themselves are exhausted and very easy to get injured. If they come back from the national team with injuries and affect the club's competition, there is nothing we can do."

Gao Shen nodded, but let out a long sigh.

It is only natural for players to play for the national team. It is also the honor of every player. He can't stop it.

Of course, Arsenal is also in trouble as Naples is in trouble.

"It's better for you, you don't have so many worrying things." After saying that, Gao Shen let out another long sigh.

Ancelotti originally planned to say a few words of comfort and encouragement, but when he heard Gao Shen speak like this, his face suddenly dropped and he swallowed all the words.

It’s rotten in my stomach, and I won’t tell you even to the death!

You deserve to be drowned in the saliva of the British media. Listen, are you speaking human words?

"I'm leaving!" Ancelotti said goodbye angrily.

"Quickly, let's chat for a while and I'll buy you a drink."

"Drink it. I'm so angry when I see your arrogant look. Can you still drink it?"

Ancelotti walked away angrily.

Gao Shen grinned behind him.

Ancelotti is really a very suitable doormat. When he is in a bad mood or is under too much pressure, pull him out and ravage him, and his mood will immediately improve.

This is Gao Shen's experience gained from getting along with him.

However, the worries Gao Shen said are also true.

Arranging national team games at the end of March will allow the already exhausted players to continue running back and forth. Fortunately, the big bosses at FIFA can think of it.

After the national team game is over, they snap their butts and leave, leaving all the mess to the club to clean up.

Every time Gao Shen thought about this, he was so angry that he just wanted to scold his mother.

He is determined to win this battle at the Emirates Stadium!
