Chapter 206： He is such a good man!

When Gao Shen was chatting with Guardiola, Lucas had already answered the phone and walked back.

Seeing the smile on his face, Gao Shen was a little curious and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You're right, Pioli is an honest man." Lucas laughed.

Stefano Pioli, the current head coach of Parma, has been coaching the youth team before. He coached Modena in Serie B last season and almost brought the team into Serie A.

With his outstanding performance last season, Pioli was favored by Parma, coached the Serie A team, and led the team to play the UEFA Cup.

Why does Gao Shen say he is an honest man?

The reason is very simple. Parma this season is a pit, a sinkhole, and it is useless for anyone to go.

This became more and more obvious as the season went on. .

Know what is Parma's goal this season?

A team that can play the UEFA Cup, the goal publicly shouted turned out to be: relegation!

Yes, that's right, it's relegation.

Many people will surely wonder, this makes no sense. Parma has performed well this season. At least they can play in the UEFA Cup. How can they avoid relegation?

In fact, take a closer look at Parma's summer transfer to know.

The main goalkeeper Frey was redeemed by Fiorentina, Bonera went to AC Milan, Simplicio and Bresciano went to Palermo, and the main central defender Cannavaro is now in the deep lineup.

Even Marchionne went to Juventus.

Everyone can imagine that players like Cannavaro Jr. and Marchionne would rather run to Serie B than stay. So what is the situation of this team?

A lot of people were sold, and there were also introductions, but they didn't spend much money. Kutuzov and Pachi were all free transfers.

In other words, Parma is taking a most cost-effective way to compete in the new season.

In this case, what's so strange about relegation?

...

"I asked some people to understand, Parma's goal is very pragmatic now, in Serie A relegation, the UEFA Cup goes as far as possible, so we can see that from the beginning of the season to now, their focus is on the UEFA Cup, and It's Serie A now."

Lucas' words made both Gao Shen and Guardiola ponder.

"Just now, Parma drew with Messina 2-2 away. With a two-goal lead, they were tied by two goals in a row, and the main defenders Contini and Paci were both on the back line. exist."

"In addition, Kutuzov, Morfeo and Boudin, the core of the frontcourt, also all started."

When Gao Shen heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughed, "He's really an honest man, he doesn't cheat, just tell us directly that he didn't plan to do his best for the Coppa Italia."

Guardiola also laughed, which is indeed a bit honest.

"It is estimated that there is no way to do it. Now that Parma is in the relegation zone, relegation is a problem. Next weekend, they have to face Inter Milan, which is the strongest team in Serie A. If they lose again, the ranking will go further. Fall, don't dare to take risks." The legend of Barcelona analyzed.

Sometimes, that's the situation a head coach faces, and there's no choice at all.

...

Why does Gao Shen say that Pioli is an honest person?

That's because this guy was coaching AC Milan before he crossed.

I still remember that when he first coached the Rossoneri, he had a mediocre resume. He even changed ten employers in twelve years. He was dismissed five times and forced to resign once. He was definitely the number one unlucky person in the Italian coaching get out of class.

The fans of the Rossoneri have even opened up a whole new type for him: the mid-course coach.

As a result, I didn't expect that this buddy got along very well in AC Milan, and this slowly changed the outside world's impression of him.

In other words, Pioli's strength is there, but he is too honest.

There is a saying in the workplace that honest people are used to "bully".

Therefore, throughout the football world, honest people are not very good, like Ranieri, like Bosque, like Rijkaard...

If it were Gao Shen, or some other dishonest coach, he would definitely not pick up a mess like Parma. He would rather be idle at home than waste that time, and smear his resume.

But honest people suffer like this.

...

"Who are you planning to harm?" Lucas asked curiously.

Both he and Guardiola noticed that Gao Shen didn't know what interesting things he remembered, but he had a bad smile on his face.

This is definitely not malicious.

Gao Shen's smile faded, and he became serious and serious. He tutted, "What are you talking about? Do I look like this kind of person?"

Both Lucas and Guardiola tacitly did not answer, but there was a word clearly written on their foreheads.

picture!

"Pep, stay away from him in the future, you'll learn badly." Gao Shen chuckled.

After inquiring about Parma's situation, Gao Shen was relieved.

Obviously, Pioli did not want to give up the Coppa Italia, but wanted to hold the battle at the San Paolo Stadium.

The schedule is there, and he probably can't help it.

For Parma, the best result is a draw away and a full counterattack at home.

But Gao Shen will definitely not give his opponent such a chance.

Is this something unclear?

"Starting tomorrow, we will practice attacking!"

…………

…………

Parma's situation is indeed not ideal, but their performance in the UEFA Cup is still very good.

So much so that Pioli's team visited the Sao Paulo Stadium, and Italian football's views on this were still more inclined to Parma.

Although Napoli beat Ascoli, this team is not on the same level as Parma.

But in such an atmosphere, when Gao Shen was interviewed by the local media in Naples, he directly opened the embarrassing mode to Pioli's Parma.

How to blow?

Never mentioning the fact that they fell into the relegation zone in Serie A, only talking about Parma's three-game winning streak in the UEFA Cup, which has simply shaped them into the combat effectiveness of Serie A in the UEFA Cup, and praised them for their performance in the European competition. How competitive.

In the words of Lucas, "If I were Pioli, I would be embarrassed to play defensive counterattacks when I heard you say that!"

"If you don't tell me, Pioli probably doesn't know that he is so powerful."

In the end, Gao Shen did not clearly tell Pioli: buddies, when a team as good and strong as you come to a small stadium like ours in Serie B, they should be bold enough to let go of their hands and feet to play, to attack, to conquer……

However, after blowing it once, Gao Shen's conversation changed.

He said that although Parma is very strong, Naples will still stick to their tactics at their home ground and will not become conservative just because the opponent is a Serie A team.

"Yes, Parma is a competitive team in the UEFA Cup, but we are not afraid of such opponents, even, I and my players hope that Parma can play more attacking at the Sao Paulo Stadium sex."

Gao Shen said that Naples is ready, "We hope to send fans a wonderful game at home."

...

On the one hand, Parma is embarrassed, on the other hand, Gao Shen is following the steps and organizing preparations in an orderly manner.

Having learned the lessons from the previous match against Juventus, Gao Shen was very cautious this time.

In terms of tactics, he will still boldly adopt aggressive and aggressive tactics and lineups, but in terms of targeted tactics and preparations, he will be as cautious as possible, and he will be prepared for everything.

He speculates that Pioli will defend and counterattack, because they played the main force in the weekend game, and basically played the whole game. From this point of view, Parma will probably take a strong rotation when visiting Naples. .

As a result, Parma can only take defensive counterattack tactics.

It is likely to be the four-three-two-one Christmas tree formation when facing strong teams this season.

This is also the misunderstanding of many fans. They think that the Christmas tree formation was created by Ancelotti for AC Milan. In fact, it is not. Many teams in Italy have adopted this style of play this season, but Ancelotti's Milan has adopted it. To be prosperous, to be known.

The biggest problem with this formation and tactics is tearing.

The back seven people are basically on defense, and only the front three people are invested in the counterattack, which will lead to tearing of offense and defense.

In fact, Ancelotti's AC Milan also has such a problem, but they can rely on the players to make up for this tear as much as possible, plus this tactic maximizes the role and characteristics of Kaka, the Brazilian superstar This season has been exceptionally brave, so AC Milan's success has been achieved.

But Parma doesn't have such a star!

Gao Shen is full of confidence, but he is still very cautious in preparing for battle.

For example, for the start of the game, Gao Shen has prepared a variety of different possibilities, including whether Parma will use the attacking tactics? Or choose to stick to it from the start? Or is it mediocre?

Although it is a defensive counterattack, I often try to grab a wave at the beginning. The purpose is not necessarily to score goals, but to disrupt the opponent's game rhythm and test the opponent for the convenience of my next game.

Gao Shen himself often plays like this, so he is naturally worried, will Pioli play this way too?

Honest man?

As an opponent, submissiveness is the most honest and honest person.

Want to fight back?

This is not honest and Gao Shen happens to be one of those good people who likes to "help" honest people to reshape their outlook on life.

...

Time passed while Gao Shen and Naples were intensively preparing for the battle.

On November 8, the Coppa Italia was long overdue.

Pioli led the team south to the San Paolo Stadium in Naples.

Before the game, after Gao Shen got Parma's starting lineup, he couldn't help laughing immediately.

It was indeed four three two one.

Pioli did not disappoint Gao Shen.

"He is such a good man!" Gao Shen praised very sincerely in front of the coaching staff.

"I like him!"

Everyone almost raised their middle fingers in person, but they all laughed unkindly.
