Chapter 213： Half-time champion

Falling in love with youkanshu.com, starting from coaching Real Madrid

As expected, things were as expected. In the recovery training session the next morning, the young Naples players were like chicken blood.

This suddenly made Guardiola's look at Gao Shen obviously changed again. . .

It's no wonder that these young people are being pinched by Gao Shen, this trick...

Gao Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at Guardiola playfully, as if to say: Are you convinced?

Guardiola smiled wryly: I'm done! Really served!

Gao Shen was still the same as usual, watching Buenaventura preside over the recovery training from the sidelines.

As early as in Real Madrid, his team had tasted the sweetness from this recovery training, especially considering the age of Napoli, the effect was better than that of Real Madrid.

After the training, Gao Shen said a few words to the players on the training ground. Basically, the meaning was to introduce the current situation of the team and the doubts about Naples from the outside world. He encouraged the players to show better performance.

"Let everyone outside who doubts us shut up!"

Gao Shen's words undoubtedly made the players even more excited.

No way, youth is full of vigor!

However, there is also a problem with youth, that is, it is easy to get excited about the brain, but it also goes away quickly.

This requires Gao Shen to keep beating and controlling beside him.

Weekend, the fifteenth round of Serie A.

Naples challenged Cesena away from home. With two goals from Cavani in the first half and Hamsik in the second half, the team defeated Cesena 2-0 away and continued to lead the Serie B standings.

Juventus beat Verona 1-0 at home.

……

A week later, the 16th round of Serie B.

Juventus continued to sit at home and beat Cesena 2-1.

The Bianconeri's offense is still very problematic. Deschamps once again put pressure on the media after the game, hoping that the team can introduce an attacking midfielder and a speedy striker during the winter break.

But I don't know if Seko will agree to his request.

Naples returned to the home court, and in the indiscriminate bombing, they only won a small victory 1-0.

The visiting team Mantua put out an iron barrel formation at the San Paolo Stadium, which made it difficult for Naples to break through.

It turns out that lying flat is also a powerful weapon.

……

Christmas is just around the corner, and the Serie B has once again ushered in a midweek game.

In the 17th round of Serie B, Naples played at home and defeated Brescia 3-1, winning very cleanly.

It was the combination of Bonucci and David Luiz that still caused the goal to be conceded, which made Gao Shen couldn't help thinking, why don't we just kick these two rogues out of the roster?

Juventus also beat Bologna 1-0 away.

Also after the end of this round, the Italian Football Association's draw for the fifth-round knockout of the Coppa Italia was held in Rome.

It is very unfortunate that Naples could not avoid it and encountered the red wolf Rome.

This is also a formidable opponent.

Those who can stand out from the Champions League group stage and participate in the knockout round of the round of 16 are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Gao Shen asked Lucas and the club's scouts to start immediately to prepare for Roma.

Fortunately, both rounds were scheduled after the winter break, and Gao Shen still had plenty of time to prepare.

……

December 22, the eighteenth round of Serie B.

This is also the last game before the winter break.

Napoli play Modena away.

Perhaps because of the approaching holiday, Naples played very badly this time.

Relatively speaking, the defense in the backcourt is relatively stable, but the offense in the frontcourt is a bit stretched.

In the end, the away game ended in a 0-0 draw with Modena.

Coincidentally, Juventus also performed poorly in this game, with a 2-2 draw at home with Arezzo.

Since then, all games before Christmas have ended.

In the first 18 rounds of Serie B, Naples had an impressive record of 16 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, ranking first in Serie B with 49 points, and won the half-way championship ahead of schedule.

Juventus followed closely, ranking second in Serie B, with 13 wins, four draws and one loss. The only game they lost was Naples, with 43 points and nine penalty points deducted. Actually only thirty-four points.

Of course, even so, Juventus is still in second place.

Because Rimini in third and Piacenza in fourth only scored 33 points.

Further down, Genoa and Bologna are 32 points, and Mantua is 30 points.

Judging from the situation, Naples can be described as a top performer. Only Juventus has the strength to compete with Naples. Other teams in Serie B are obviously inferior.

…………

…………

After the eighteenth round, the team returned to Naples.

The next day, during the daytime, according to the arrangement of the club, the team went to the urban area of ​​Naples and the surrounding areas to visit hospitals, nursing homes and kindergartens and other places. At the same time, it also allows players to feel the support of local fans.

This is also a routine in Naples, after all, it's almost Christmas.

In the evening, the owner De Laurentiis hosted a banquet in a hotel near the San Paolo Stadium, including the coaching staff and staff, to thank them for their contributions to the team over the past few months.

At this Christmas dinner, De Laurentiis once again reiterated the club's full support for Gao Shen.

"Other things, I won't say much, let me stress again, serve the team well and let you participate in the game without any worries. This is our club's top priority job!"

De Laurentiis was satisfied with the team's performance in the first 18 rounds, and also supported what Gao Shen said before, doing his best to win the Coppa Italia.

"The last time we won the Coppa Italia was in 1987, when Maradona was still in our team."

A team with a glorious history has such an advantage. When it comes to the past history, it can always make people hold their heads high and be full of pride, just like De Laurentiis at this moment.

When it comes to Maradona, everyone at the scene can't help showing admiration, even admiration.

That is definitely a god-like existence!

Especially the group of players from South America in the team have the urge to worship Maradona.

"If you can reach the Coppa Italia final, I will invite Diego to watch your game." De Laurentiis also made a big pie.

Although the pie is not very attractive, at least the players responded enthusiastically.

Later, general manager Marino also gave a speech, mainly introducing the team's reward policy this season.

This is also what Gao Shen requires.

Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, which is a must.

If a player performs well, the reward should be given. If you want to get better performance, the bonus is essential.

Don't look at Naples as a Serie B team, but let alone Serie B's income this season, it is estimated that half of the Serie A teams are not as good as Naples.

Don't say anything else, just focus on the home attendance rate, other teams can't keep up.

This also proves once again the importance of the local city.

In other words, this is the foundation of European professional teams.

Marino's bonus system is still quite generous, especially the upgrade bonus, which is given very sincerely, and the response of the players is obviously more enthusiastic and exciting than that of De Laurentiis.

After all, aren't they all playing football for money?

After De Laurentiis and Marino finished talking, it was the coach's turn.

In fact, he communicates with the players every day. He is actually very clear about what these players are thinking.

After he walked up, he didn't say much, and directly motioned Lucas to push everything in.

I saw Lucas came in with a cart full of gifts, which immediately made everyone on the scene very curious, and scrambled to stand up and watch.

"I told everyone before that if the team maintains the top three in the first half, I will give each of you a mobile phone, but unfortunately, the speed of Steve Jobs' research and development cannot keep up with the speed of our winning." Gao Shen joked about Apple's father.

Since Gao Shen mentioned Apple, many players who are interested in electronic products have noticed it, and naturally they know who Jobs is, and they can't help laughing.

On the contrary, De Laurentiis, Marino and the others were all dumbfounded.

De Laurentiis does know about Jobs, the former boss of the Hollywood animation company Pixar. How did he get involved?

"In order to prevent everyone from being bored during the Christmas period and going out to cause trouble, the club bought the latest ps3 game console and game CD. You can practice hard. You are welcome to come and challenge me at any time." Gao Shen is full of confidence said.

When it comes to playing football, he is definitely not as good as these guys, but when it comes to playing games hehe...

This made Gao Shen's heart sink for a while.

Twitter, Weibo, etc., why haven't they come out yet?

If it comes out, he will post it directly on Weibo and Twitter, what Ronaldo, Zidane, Beckham, and this group of players in the Naples team, abuse them one by one, and then post it on the Internet, think It's hard not to be a celebrity.

Once you become a top-notch Internet celebrity, the speed of money is simply rushing. You can make money by posting a Weibo or Twitter.

This is Napoli's Christmas present to the players.

Each person has a ps3 and game software that was just launched in November.

Little Cannavaro and others are actually fine. After all, they are not too young, but young people in their twenties, such as Di Maria and Pellet, have no resistance to this thing at all, especially before, Gao Shen was still specializing in football. Bought two in the team recreation room, specially for them to play.

Now everyone has one, and it's still the latest model. There is no need for advanced orders. Everyone rushes over and does it by themselves. You are welcome.

This also made other people at the scene, like De Laurentiis, Marino, and even Carlo, Buenaventura and Guardiola, have to admit that it is Gao Shen who understands the minds of these young people best. .

Otherwise, why did these young people give up on him?

The generation gap is there, whether you want to admit it or not.

It's like Carlo and Buenaventura, even like Guardiola, they all get along well with players, but this kind of good is obviously still estranged, not like high depth.

Gao Shen is really a close friend with them.
