Forty-year-old Diego Bortolucci has always been self-aware.
In the world of professional football, he has never been the kind of genius with extraordinary talent. Although he debuted in the Italian youth training giant Atalanta, his career was mediocre, but at least he played until the age of 38.
After retiring, he became a professional coach. He assisted the famous coach Guidolin in Palermo for two seasons and learned a lot. After Guidolin was dismissed, he continued to assist his successor, Bardini.
In 2005, he coached the Treviso Second Team alone. He planned to pass his qualifications in a normal way, and strive for the opportunity to come out in a few years and coach a Serie B team alone. If it can be Serie A, it will be even better.
Yes, his idea was that simple at the time.
But fate played a big joke on him.
Treviso's first team coach Rossi led the team to play only 12 games before he was dismissed due to poor performance. It was the famous Alberto Cavasin who put out the fire in the middle. The goal of the team Relegation in Serie A.
At the time, everyone was confident that Kavasin would take over the team.
But who would have thought that after 15 games, Kavasin was helpless about the team's status quo, and became Treviso's second coach of the season to be dismissed.
Although it's only February, Treviso has almost got his precious relegation spot ahead of schedule.
Cavasin led the team with worse results than Rossi. Rossi scored six points in the 11th round of Serie A, while Cavasin only scored 8 points in the 15th round, which also completely lost Treviso's management. Confidence and motivation to stay in Serie A.
Everyone knows that Treviso's relegation is set.
Under this circumstance, the management enabled the head coach of the second team, Bortolucci, and did not put too much pressure on him, but hoped that he could train the team's young players and do a good job in returning to Serie A next season. Prepare.
Bortolucci did not expect that the sudden pie would hit him on the head. Fortunately, he was usually prepared, otherwise he would have been knocked out. During the few months of fighting the fire in Treviso, His grades are similar to the previous two terms, but he has promoted young players like Acqua Fresca.
This summer, Treviso is ambitious and wants to return to Serie A. Bortolucci is trusted by the club's management, and they all hope that Bortolucci can stay in office and continue to develop young players.
Bortolucci himself was ambitious.
He knows very well that the opportunity that countless people have been dreaming of has finally arrived!
As long as he seizes the opportunity, as long as he brings Treviso back to Serie A, he will be able to make a name for himself, establish a foothold in the Italian professional league, and even gain a firm foothold in Serie A.
Forty years old, coaching Serie A alone, although it is a relegated team, it is amazing enough.
Bortorucci is also quite proud of this.
But he did not expect that at the head coach summit in Rome, he met two more prominent figures.
Gao Shen and Deschamps.
These two are also coaching Serie B, and both are coaches at the final level of the Champions League, and Gao Shen has won the double crown.
For Deschamps, Bortolucci is convinced, because Deschamps used to be a very successful star.
But how deep?
Twenty-five years old, too young.
The key is that Gao Shen was also coaching Real Madrid in late February, and Real Madrid at that time happened to fire two coaches in a row, and even technical director Sacchi and chairman Florentino stepped down, and the situation was better than Reviso. tougher.
But it was in this extreme situation that Gao Shen took Real Madrid all the way to counterattack and won the double crown of La Liga and the Champions League.
But this season, the "world famous coach" with the double crown halo suddenly chose to coach Naples, a newly-promoted Serie B team, and threatened to build a strong Serie A team within three years.
In the eyes of outsiders, what kind of audacity is Gao Shen!
But in Bortorucci's eyes, this is arrogance!
What is he in Serie A? What is Italian football?
At the head coach summit, the famous coach Sacchi attacked the conservative status quo of Italian football in his speech, thinking that many people are still stuck in their own way and still stick to the four, even if they occasionally take the step of innovation, many of them adopt Conservative tactics such as four-three-two-one or four-three-one-two.
Sacchi appeals: Italian coaches must learn from the advanced.
Bortorucci thinks, is Sacchi crazy?
Learning from a twenty-five year old rookie?
How did his double crown come about? Isn't it just won by the superstars of Real Madrid?
What's more, what's wrong with 442?
Bortorucci is good at using four-four-two, two strikers, what's the matter?
When in Rome, listening to Sacchi on the podium touting the high level, Bortolucci had already made up his mind in the audience: he must be in the first round of Serie B, for himself, for Italy, for Italy's football tactics, Correct name!
Why did Deschamps lose?
Because he only defends and does not counterattack.
Why didn't you fight back?
Because he used a single striker, Bodinov can't do it!
If he went up with a double striker, Trezeguet and Sarayeta, or even Del Piero, the situation might be completely different.
As a result, in the first round of Serie B against Naples away, Bortolucci continued to use the four-four-two double forward formation.
He wants to completely reveal the emperor's new clothes in front of everyone.
…………
…………
September 9th, fifteen o'clock in the afternoon.
In the first round of Serie B, the whistle was blown on time for Napoli's game against Treviso.
Affected by the two weeks of national team game days, Napoli's formation has been challenged a lot.
The goalkeeper is still Handanovic, who, interestingly, was on loan at Treviso last season.
On the back line, Vargas returned to China to compete, so Gao Shen used Savigny as a full-back, with Bonucci and David Luiz in the center, and Grava with a stronger attack on the right.
The double midfielder has not been adjusted. Biglia continues to partner with Rakitic, with Peel, Hamsik and Gervinho in front, and Pellet in the center.
Including Sanchez, Di Maria, Cavani and other South American players who participated in the national team or national youth team games, all were hidden in the deep snow, allowing them to take a good rest.
In the words he communicated with the players privately, it is: kill a chicken with a butcher's knife.
...
In the first 30 minutes, the game was deadlocked.
Treviso's defense is still very good, especially the four-four-two, the three lines are kept very meticulous.
This also proves once again that the Italian coach really has his own uniqueness in tuning the defense.
During this period of time, Gao Shen has learned a lot from his opponents and his predecessors.
But the main reason is that Napoli's own offensive organization has problems.
Gervinho and Vargas used to be the attacking partner on the left, and now he has switched to the right and partnered with Grava. some problems.
But on the scene, Napoli hardly left the slightest chance for Treviso.
It was only during the game that Bortolucci realized that it was not Deschamps' team that could not counterattack, but the suffocating high pressure of Naples, which did not give the opponent a chance to counterattack.
In the past, after they grabbed the ball, they organized it slowly and then counterattacked.
But Naples is now counter-attacking as soon as they concede the ball, counterattacking as soon as they grab the ball, and the rhythm is fast.
If it weren't for Napoli's own mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, Treviso would not have known what to do.
Even so, in the 30th minute, Napoli took the lead in breaking Treviso's goal.
On the right, Gervinho took the ball and forced a breakthrough, rushed to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, and crossed to the goal.
Pellet, who followed up in time in the middle, took the lead and sent the ball into Treviso's goal before the opponent's central defender.
One to zero!
...
After scoring a goal, Napoli's morale was even stronger, and they continued to attack Treviso.
Bortorucci is really in a hurry!
He found that the situation was completely wrong from what he had imagined.
Just when he was anxious and wanted to adjust the team's tactics at halftime, Naples launched another wave of attack at the 43rd point. After Peel made a breakthrough on the left, the ball was transferred to the right.
Grava suddenly plugged in, broke into the penalty area, and after receiving a pass from Hamsik, gave Naples another victory, 2-0.
In just ten minutes, Naples scored two goals in a row, and Naples established an advantage in the first half.
At half-time, Treviso clearly intentionally stepped up his defense.
Bortolucci replaced an attacking player with defensive midfielder Baumsson and adopted a three-back tactic.
But this still can't stop Naples.
In the 56th minute, with a long pass from Bonucci from the backcourt, Pellet grabbed the first spot, and after giving the header to Hamsik, he turned and moved forward quickly.
Hamsik understood and sent a through ball after stopping the ball.
Pellet succeeded in anti-offside. After stopping the ball, he formed a single-handed shot. He easily pushed the shot and hit it three to zero!
The whole Sao Paulo stadium is completely crazy!
All the Naples fans sang and danced to celebrate the victory in advance.
But on the pitch, Napoli's offensive continued.
In the 76th minute, with a corner kick, David Luiz overwhelmed many defenders and scored a header from close range, giving Naples another victory, 4-0!
The Brazilian central defender rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. After a round of venting, he also ran to the coach's bench to give high fives and hugs to the head coach, thanking him for his trust in him, and let him start today.
"David, I think you should grow your hair long, just like that shaggy head, it must be handsome and cool, and more importantly, it must be more explosive when you head the ball." Gao Shen suggested with a smile.
He was looking forward to David Lewis leaving a bird's nest completely transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Unexpectedly, David Lewis was really moved after hearing it.
"Boss, you have a good idea. I'll start growing my hair today." After he finished speaking, he made a fist gesture towards Gao Shenbi, as if to say: Just wait and see.
He has a deep face.
David Luiz, who is still an exploding head, is more pleasing to the eye, and the Brazilian with short hair is quite gentle.
In the 89th minute, Dara Bona, who came on as a substitute, scored Napoli's fifth goal.
This is really unexpected, and even Dara Bona probably didn't expect it.
He just swiped his foot so casually and actually entered.
Does this all score?
Gao Shen could only shake his head with a wry smile. He really kicked smoothly, no matter how he kicked.
Blame me!
