On the night of the final, Naples returned to Naples from Manchester overnight.
This is also Napoli’s Champions League away schedule.
After playing the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, the team has to face the 35th round of Serie A on the weekend and challenge Lecce away.
Although Naples has basically secured the league title in advance, there are still four games left and they cannot be too careless.
After playing the 35th round, they went to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome in the middle of the week to participate in the Italian Cup final. The opponent was Sampdoria. This battle was also crucial for Naples.
Now, the team's situation is very good, but at the same time every game is crucial.
Gao Shen knows better than anyone else that a person who travels a hundred miles is half as good as the other, and the more critical the moment, the more important it is to be steady.
Therefore, at the regular coaching meeting the next morning, Gao Shen asked everyone on the coaching staff to cheer up, be more focused and committed than ever before, and at the same time, pay attention to the players' emotional changes and guard against arrogance and arrogance.
impatient.
Gao Shen said that the team's discipline will be stricter than ever in the future, and everyone must pay attention to it.
Last night, after playing against Manchester United, Gao Shen talked with Marino on his way back to Naples. The club will do everything it can to ensure the team's preparations in the next three weeks.
Gao Shen also said that the team will start implementing the preparation plan for the Champions League final starting today.
Buenaventura and Pintus need to draw up a physical assault training plan as soon as possible, Borrell needs to arrange effective targeted training for the team based on Barcelona's passing and possession style, and everyone else.
Have their own responsibilities and work.
Gao Shen also gave his own requirements for daily training.
"It is very important to arrange monkey walking and shadow training every day." Gao Shen said seriously.
Walking the monkey is to ensure that the team can pass the ball quickly under Barcelona's high-intensity pressing pressure, so that the ball will not be lost or passed away as soon as the opponent forces it.
This happens frequently with Manchester United and Chelsea.
Even sometimes, Naples didn't have to press, they just missed the pass themselves.
To put it bluntly, the players' technical skills in passing and receiving are not solid enough, and their coordination is not skilled enough.
The advantage of shadow training is the team's team pressure, which is the tactic used by Gao Shen when facing Barcelona.
Every team has its own DNA and its own unique style.
Napoli's style has never been to defend and defend. Regardless of age or experience, Gao Shen didn't think it was a good idea to defend against Barcelona in the final.
Let’s not talk about whether Naples players will make mistakes under high pressure, but whether the players can adapt. This is a big problem.
On the contrary, physical fitness and running are Naples' strengths, and their ability to pass and cut the ball is also good. This makes Gao Shen believe that Naples can compete with Barcelona in a real battle.
Besides, Barcelona is indeed very strong and indeed has a lot of stars, but it is not without loopholes, and Napoli does not necessarily have no chance at all. The key depends on how the troops are arranged and how they perform in the game.
With Gao Shen's arrangement, all members of the coaching staff understood what he meant.
This was his decision without even discussing it with anyone.
But this time, surprisingly, even Carlo had no objections.
After all, none of them have experience in how to play in the Champions League final, and they are very familiar with Guardiola, which is something that none of the others have.
In this case, the sophisticated option is the best option.
Besides, the first leg of the game against Manchester United proved that Naples is indeed not suitable for being conservative.
A young team coached by young people and composed of young people should be full of passion.
"Everyone!"
After Gao Shen finished explaining everything, he looked at his assistants and started mobilizing them.
"Now, I believe everyone is aware of the situation the team is facing. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their hard work and dedication over the past three years. Every one of you has contributed most to the team being able to get to where it is today."
Everyone was also excited.
Napoli's achievements are also their achievements and will be a glorious addition to their coaching resume.
"It has been three years. We have worked hard for three years and prepared for three years. Now, we have finally ushered in such an unprecedented and infinitely bright prospect. Like each of you, I am very excited and full of expectations."
"But the more this happens, the more cautious we must be, the more we must take every step, we must do a good job in every training session, play every game well, and do everything well. We must use the best spirit to
To meet every game and every challenge that comes next.”
"I believe that in the end, we will be able to achieve a result that satisfies everyone!"
Gao Shen didn't say what result he wanted, but everyone knew it.
The Serie A championship has basically been won, and the Italian Cup final against Sampdoria will basically not be left behind.
Naples' next biggest challenge is the Champions League final.
Gao Shen wants to achieve the Triple Crown!
To achieve the Triple Crown, you must defeat Barcelona in the Champions League final!
Defeat that epoch-making cosmic team in Gao Shen's previous life!

While Gao Shen was mobilizing at Fort Volturno, Ferguson also came to the Carrington training base west of Manchester.
Even though we lost the game, we still need to train.
Manchester United also had a training session in the morning, but it was much later.
Ferguson arrived at Carrington early as usual.
He made himself a cup of coffee, sat in the office, and read the morning newspaper.
But the more I looked at it, the worse I felt.
Throughout the UK, almost all newspapers were criticizing Ferguson's formation and praising Gao Shen and his Naples, which made Ferguson feel very depressed.
Damn them, they all talk so wildly, as if if they listen to them, Manchester United can beat Naples.
Don't I know that Ronaldo doesn't like to play center forward?
Don't I realize that our midfield trio lacks passing and attacking ability?
The question is, can Manchester United come up with other lineups?
Let Ronaldo play as right winger?
Look at the last moment of the first round, Gao Shen was already waiting there.
Ronaldo kicked on the right, and Di Maria directly singled out O'Shea.
Playing on the left?
Please, Evra must die worse than O'Shea!
So may I ask, what can I do?
Let the midfielder block it, isn't this how I arrange it?
Both Rooney and Park Ji-sung were already very active in defending, but they still played like this.
If Berbatov and Ronaldo are allowed to play at the same time, how will Manchester United play?
Guard against death?
Haha, Manchester United doesn’t have such a gene!
The Red Devils and Manchester United have never been a defensive team, no matter who they face!
Even if they suffer a disastrous defeat, Manchester United will not hold on!
Ferguson flipped through the newspaper angrily, but as he flipped through the newspaper, he suddenly came across a report.
The talented young coach prepares top-notch wine to entertain Ferguson!
This is a piece of tidbits from The Sun.
The news said: As we all know, Ferguson is a famous wine enthusiast, and his wine cellar contains countless treasures.
"The wine collection can relieve his competition pressure and balance his life, and he has the habit of drinking wine every night to help him sleep."
The British media has reported on Ferguson's collection of red wine many times. He has participated in red wine auctions in the past few years, including some fine wines from the top wineries in Bordeaux, France, which are Ferguson's favorite.
The Sun revealed that during this trip to Old Trafford, as Ferguson's number one fan, Gao Shen made a special trip to ask someone to collect two boxes of fine wines from Chile's top wineries, each bottle of which is worth a lot of money.
“Ferguson couldn’t put it down and praised this wine from Chile. He put two boxes of the wine into his own wine cellar, alongside wines from the world’s top wineries such as Lafite and Chateau Petrus.
.”
…
When Ferguson saw this, he really couldn't stand it anymore.
Isn’t this too much of a fabrication?
What the hell, are Sun reporters writing or reporting?
The entire report is quite large in size, but the result is only a tiny bit of truth.
Gao Shen gave him two boxes of Chilean wine. This is true, and it is true that he accepted it. He loves to drink wine, and he has a wine cellar at home. This is all true.
But when did he put those two boxes of Chilean wine into the wine cellar and say that it was to be compared with famous wines from Lafite and Petrus?
Isn’t this nonsense?
He had drunk it and it tasted okay, but not much better.
This reporter from The Sun really made the connection, and even published a photo of the wine being delivered to Ferguson's office in the newspaper. Needless to say, someone must have leaked it, probably someone from within Manchester United.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the photos are leaked. The key is that the reporter of The Sun is so good at editing, right?
The level of writing reports is not necessarily that high, and the level of analyzing football matches is even worse, but with this popularity, the ability to write stories is not small. He deserves to be kept out of the spotlight for so many years!
Ferguson didn't bother to pay attention.
If he really wants to quarrel with these tabloids, it's purely to bring popularity to the other party and increase his traffic. He doesn't have such a leisurely time.
Besides, the Premier League title race is still at a critical moment, and he has no time to spare.
…
Ferguson had no idea that the Sun's report was just the beginning.
After the Sun's report came out, in a very short period of time, major domestic websites in China quickly forwarded the Sun's report, and all of them placed photos of Ferguson, Gao Shen, and the wine sent by Gao Shen in prominent places. The reports were all similar.
, basically just slightly processing the content of The Sun.
Immediately afterwards, many domestic newspapers also included this report when reporting on the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
In almost a short period of time, this news quickly spread across the country. From the Internet to the physical world, more and more people noticed this Chilean wine brand that usually receives little attention.
Ferguson is a celebrity who understands wine. If it can be collected by him, it will definitely be a good wine if it is placed with the wines from world-famous wineries such as Petrus and Lafite.
Not famous now?
That is a hidden gem in the ocean, even more rare!
To put it bluntly, this makes it even more rare!
If you are a well-known brand, no matter how big it is, there will be nothing new about it.
For a time, this Chilean wine brand quickly set off a craze in the country.
