Pep Guardiola stood at the entrance of the training center in Castel Volturno. He never imagined that the training base in Naples was hidden inside a golf course, and the area did not look large.
The security guard at the door heard that he was from Spain and was very polite to him.
Because, now Napoli's coaching staff are from Spain, of course, the coach is Chinese.
This relationship also gives Napoli a unique affinity for Spain.
Perhaps, this is the coach of Naples soon.
Guardiola has been in Italy for two years, in Brescia and Rome. He has also been to Naples. He is not familiar with Italian, but he is still able to speak Italian, so he relied on jerky Italian to chat with the security guard.
For example, how is the team doing now? What changes has the young head coach brought about?
It's that kind of question anyway.
The security guard was a little wary and didn't dare to tell him too much, "When you join us in Naples, you will know for yourself."
have to! Guardiola smiled wryly, daring to be mistaken for a job seeker.
After a few more sentences, he realized that it was the Chinese head coach who instructed him, saying that there are too many bad people outside, and they will do everything possible to spy on the military situation, so it must be kept strictly confidential.
Guardiola laughed bitterly when he saw what the security said was serious.
Why does it sound like a war?
But I have to say, at this point, Guardiola still agrees.
And when Guardiola asked the security guard how the Naples fans felt about the coach, the security guard looked proud and smug, as if he was the head coach of Naples.
"Do you know Maradona?"
"Know? That's great, let me tell you, now our Mr. Gao is doing in Naples what Maradona did in Naples. You say, what is his status in the eyes of the fans?"
"All of us, from the elderly to the children, love his style of football so much!"
Guardiola understood.
High football is full of passion and aggression, which fits Napoli's character very well.
Afterwards, he chatted with the security guard about the law and order in Naples.
The security guard really thought he was here to apply, for fear that he would not dare to stay, so he immediately told him that there was no need to worry about public security.
"Do you know the Mafia? On the first day Mr. Gao coached in Naples, many local gangs let go. Whoever harassed Mr. Gao, they were the first to let it go."
"A local gang in the Bay Area even assured that even if Mr. Gao opened the door of his house, no one would dare to go in."
Guardiola was a little dumbfounded.
Are they all so monkey cyle?
Are they the mafia? Or the captain of security?
"In Naples, football is the best pass." The security guard said proudly.
So even if the salary is a little lower, he still works for the Napoli club.
For nothing else, just focus on this pride in my heart.
While the two were chatting sentence by sentence, they saw a person hurried out of the training center.
Is it Lorenzo Buenaventura?
"Pep, why did you feel it yourself, didn't you say I'd pick you up?" Buenaventura asked anxiously.
Guardiola immediately stood up, shook hands and hugged Buenaventura, and said with a smile, "I know you've been busy recently, so I'll come over by taking a taxi by myself."
Buenaventura shook his head helplessly.
My student in the coach training class has this personality and doesn't like to cause trouble to others.
"Let's go, I'll take you in and meet the boss." After that, Buenaventura helped remove Guardiola's suitcase.
Following behind, Guardiola was a little surprised.
The head coach of Naples is only twenty-five years old, and Buenaventura is not too young, but when it comes to the boss, it is a smooth one.
This is just a detail, but it is not difficult to see from this point that Buenaventura is really convinced of Gao Shen.
As for his own teacher's ability, Guardiola knows better than anyone else.
What does it look like to be able to convince Buenaventura completely?
"I told him everything about you. He agreed without thinking about it. He even asked if he wanted to give you some salary?" Buenaventura walked in front and said to himself. , couldn't help but laugh.
Guardiola, who followed behind, was a little embarrassed, but didn't say anything.
He is thirty-five years old, looking for a twenty-five-year-old, no, after September, he will be twenty-six.
It's embarrassing to see a thirty-five-year-old looking for a twenty-six-year-old to learn his skills.

…………
Gao Shen learned about Guardiola from Buenaventura a week ago.
The legendary star who was born in Barcelona went to Brescia and Rome in Italy to play for Al Ahly Club in Qatar. The local tyrant in the Middle East gave him an annual salary of 4 million euros in two years.
It's very easy to play there, and it also allows him to better prepare for things after retirement, including coaching.
Interestingly, after leaving Al Ahly, Guardiola went to Manchester City for a trial.
Yes, you heard that right, it was to go to Manchester City for a trial to prove his fitness and form, and then Manchester City manager Pierce offered him a six-month contract, but Guardiola refused because he wanted longer a little.
Who knows, what will Pierce's mood be like when Guardiola takes charge of Manchester City in the future?
After waiting for about half a year, Guardiola was very clear that his career was basically over, so he accepted the invitation of his friend Juanma Lillo to play for the Dorados Club in Mexico.
Speaking of Juanma Lillo, this is even more of a legend in Spanish football. At the age of 20, he started coaching the West C team Mirandes, and at the age of 22, he led the team to the West B League B. , He led Salamanca to La Liga at the age of 29. He was the youngest head coach in La Liga history before Gao Shen. He has also coached La Liga teams such as Tenerife, Zaragoza and Murcia.
It can be said that this is a recognized genius coach in Spanish football.
Although it is no longer young.
After Lillo coached Dorados in Mexico, he knew that Guardiola was preparing for coaching, so he invited him to Mexico, where he experienced a new style of football, a fast-paced, high-intensity, focus on ball control and teamwork new genre.
After staying in Mexico for half a year, he and Lillo discussed and studied football almost every day. It was also in the past half year that he heard the name of Gao Shen one after another, and kept following him, watching Gao Shen lead Real Madrid to counterattack and win Double crown.
Lillo asserted at the time that many of his profound ideas were close to what he thought, but due to the shortcomings of Real Madrid's lineup, many ideas could not be put into practice.
Guardiola also agreed.
After returning to Spain from Mexico, Guardiola first obtained a coaching certificate, and politely refused Barcelona's invitation to serve as Rijkaard's assistant coach, and rejected several La Liga and La Liga team coaching invitations. He chose to go to Argentina to visit After meeting Bielsa, the two had a long talk.
In this discussion, Bielsa once again mentioned the lofty Naples.
"This is the team that excites me the most in the last ten years, no, even longer!"
This is Bielsa's original words.
He believes that a high-level team is like a shark that smells blood, full of aggression and aggression, which is indispensable on the football field, because it is a life-and-death war!
So Guardiola wanted to come to Naples to have a look.
He contacted Buenaventura, who, after getting a high-level affirmative reply, let Guardiola come over.
...
When meeting Guardiola, Gao Shen didn't feel anything special.
He doesn't know how many times he has seen the photo of the future world number one head coach. When he was young, there is not much difference between it and after more than ten years, except that his hair and beard are a little whiter.
The temperament of the whole person is partial to Wen Qingfan.
Gao Shen is not surprised, because only people with this kind of personality will be entangled before the Champions League final.
This is a disease that needs to be cured!
Before crossing, Gao Shen heard a lot of news that Guardiola went to Bielsa to learn from him, and even later, many famous coaches asked Guardiola to learn from him, but he never thought that he would be the first to come to him to learn from his work. It would be Guardiola.
It makes him very proud, very proud, and very cool!
Even though he was calm on the surface when he saw Guardiola, in fact, he was mad with joy.
He now has a feeling of wanting to call Su Qing and tell her: The future number one handsome man in the world came to me to learn something!
Dreaming will wake up laughing!
But no matter how happy he is in his heart, on the surface, he still has to maintain the character of a famous marshal and cannot collapse.
However, he was not like the other old men. Like close friends, he asked about Guardiola's situation with concern, how long he planned to stay, and whether he could find a place to live.
As soon as he heard that he hadn't yet, Gao Shen immediately said that he could live in his own home, so that the two could talk at night, sleep on the same couch, and sleep on their feet. Woolen cloth?
Guardiola never thought that Gao Shen would be so enthusiastic about himself, and he agreed immediately, and he was full of gratitude.
I came to learn something myself.
And Gao Shen also said that Guardiola can freely enter and leave Naples and visit, and can also participate in the training and preparation of the coaching staff, just like a member of the coaching staff, there are no restrictions.
This made Guardiola even more moved This is too broad-minded!
Buenaventura is even more grateful, because Guardiola was introduced by him. Does Gao Shen treat Guardiola so kindly?
Otherwise, how to explain Gao Shen's enthusiasm for Guardiola as soon as they met?
You know, Gao Shen belongs to Real Madrid, and Guardiola belongs to Barcelona. They are enemies!
Therefore, Buenaventura was even more grateful and moved in his heart than Guardiola, for nothing else, but for this profound affection.
Of course, Gao Shen also looked at the reactions of the two, which was also what he wanted to achieve.
Even, he is still pondering, and he has to find an opportunity to let everyone know that Guardiola is learning from him. After that, when everyone mentions Guardiola's achievements, they will think of the teacher Gao Shen. difficult.
After thinking about it, Gao Shen felt that this was a great deal!
As for the fear of Guardiola stealing his skills, there is no need to worry.
