Chapter 231： fiasco

The 6-0 rout of Roma has left Naples excited all over the place.

The atmosphere in the team was clearly felt during the recovery training session the following morning.

Every player is full of energy, full of a kind of vigorous vigor.

Gao Shen also brought a second surprise to the players, that is, Zidane promised to stay in Naples for a few more days.

In fact, after retiring, the bald head of France has nothing to do, and he is bored. Every day he accompanies his wife with big eyes and small eyes, or picks up his children to and from school. This is indeed very good for Zidane, who has been accustomed to playing football for many years. hard.

No doubt, this is actually the norm.

Many retired stars will have this mentality, so that many veterans will be very resistant before retiring, and even try to extend their careers by all means.

Zidane is very strong in this regard.

Gao Shen told the players that Zidane would stay in the training base after the training session every afternoon to answer the players' puzzles and problems when playing football. At the same time, he would prepare a discussion meeting to discuss the football game with the players in Naples. .

This sudden good news made Naples players almost lost their joy.

That's Zidane!

To be able to get Zidane's hands-on guidance, this is something that many players can't even think about?

This also makes them more respectful of Gao Shen from the bottom of their hearts, because they all know that the reason why Zidane stays in Naples is because of Gao Shen, otherwise, why didn't he go to Juventus where he played?

Gao Shen is also very satisfied with the player's response.

As the saying goes, live to old age and learn to grow old.

In fact, it is the same on the football field.

Young players should work hard to learn and improve their abilities, including improving their understanding of the game,

Knowledge of football, from super geniuses like Zidane, to learn their understanding of the sport and their experience in using skills, which will be of great help to their future growth.

Gao Shen himself is the most aware of this.

Each of the books he saw in the tactical library was of astonishing value. They were the brainchild of famous marshals. They benefited a lot from them, and their coaching ability improved rapidly.

Now, he also hopes that his players can benefit from the training of legendary stars such as Zidane and Guardiola.

At noon, the draw for the Coppa Italia semi-finals was held at the Italian Football Federation headquarters in Rome.

Naples still arranged for general manager Marino to attend the draw.

The four teams that have reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals this season are Naples, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Sampdoria.

The other three are Serie A teams, not to mention the Milan duo. Sampdoria is currently ranked tenth in Serie A, and their overall strength is not bad, but slightly inferior to Rome.

For Naples, of course, the best draw result is to draw Sampdoria. In this case, the possibility of the team reaching the final is higher. The second is to meet AC Milan, and the worst is to meet Inter Milan. .

But things in the world are so strange.

The team you least want to touch, he just let you touch it.

Napoli's opponent in the semi-final was precisely Inter Milan. When they learned that Inter Milan had been drawn, Gao Shen was with the coaching staff, and they all showed a bitter look.

I have to say, Inter Milan this season is too strong!

Since the Telgate incident, the Nerazzurri have been a standout in Serie A.

Don't say anything else, just focus on that lineup, which is unbelievably extravagant.

The goalkeeper is Cesar. Although he has not been canonized yet, his strength cannot be underestimated. He is definitely the world's top goalkeeper.

There are Samuel, Materazzi, Cordoba, Burdisso, Maicon, Zanetti, Maxwell and Grosso on the back line, all of whom are world-class stars.

The midfielders are Vieira, Cambiasso, Stankovic, Solari and Figo, all of whom are world-class players.

Not to mention the striker line, which can be called the most extravagant striker lineup in the world. It gathers the top stars of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Adriano, Crespo, Cruz and Recoba.

It can be said that, just looking at the lineup, Inter Milan's lineup is even more powerful than Capello's Juventus last season.

The head coach Mancini is also very strong, having already proved his coaching ability as early as in Lazio.

In the face of such a team, Naples is really bad luck.

So much so that after learning the result of the draw, the Naples coaching staff all showed a pessimistic look.

"Okay, cheer up, don't frown!" After seeing the changes in the expressions of the assistants, Gao Shen,

Encouraged loudly.

"We can lose 1-2 on the road and back at home to beat Roma 6-0, then we have the same chance to beat Inter Milan in the semi-finals and reach the Coppa Italia final!"

The assistants all felt the high fighting spirit in Gao Shen.

Who said it wasn't?

Naples just beat Roma 6-0 at home, so what is there to worry about even if they meet Inter Milan?

Can beat Roma, but can't beat Inter Milan?

Thinking of this, everyone also adjusted.

In the afternoon, after the lunch break and before the training session, Zidane did organize a seminar at Fort Volturno.

Gao Shen and all the members of the coaching staff attended the meeting.

Because there was not much preparation beforehand, Zidane did not follow the traditional teaching method, but let the players ask questions, and then he answered them, which not only made the interaction full of fun, but also made the atmosphere more active . .

The players also cherished this rare opportunity, and asked a variety of questions. All kinds of strange questions came out. Some players even asked Zidane, did he enter the court with his left foot first? Or go right foot first?

Zidane is also very interested in such interactions, and he tries his best to answer the questions raised by the players.

A very good characteristic of Naples is vitality.

A team composed of a group of young players in their twenties, coupled with advanced humanized management, made the atmosphere in the team really very active, which naturally infected Zidane, and the French superstar was also affected.

After a discussion meeting, there was still some unfinished business, and the two sides agreed to continue tomorrow.

After the afternoon training session, Zidane also ended up as scheduled, personally pointing out the Naples players.

For example, he taught attacking players how to shoot, how to pass, and even how to take free kicks.

At the level of Zidane's superstar, his control over football can be said to be superb. All kinds of skills, they are handy and handy, which is amazing.

When it comes to excitement, Zidane always kicks himself directly.

When it was exciting, the players all applauded.

"If he didn't retire, he could still play the main force in any team in the world!" Carlo said with a sigh.

Gao Shen didn't doubt this, but after seeing Carlo's expression and tone, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't think too much,

None of this has anything to do with you. "

Zidane will retire, which has a lot to do with Real Madrid's sluggish performance this season. Although there has been considerable improvement in the second half, he has not withdrawn his decision to retire.

But in a way, Zidane is a smart guy.

Whether it's playing football before or coaching later, it's the same.

Because he knows how to advance and retreat.

If, after last season's double, and this summer's World Cup runner-up, he returns to football, everyone will cheer him on, Real Madrid will still welcome him, and even other teams will want him, but after that?

When you are old, you are old, and no matter how you maintain your state, you are still old.

Zidane has retired now. With Real Madrid's double crown and World Cup runner-up, he can be regarded as a rapid retreat, leaving his best side in the memory of fans, which is better than anything else.

Continue to stay and let the whole world see the joke of his getting old?

Let those young people step on his shoulders?

As smart as Zidane, he knows when to advance and when to retreat.

…

The draw went to Inter Milan, which put a lot of pressure on Napoli up and down.

From the day of the draw, Gao Shen concentrated all the energy of the team, preparing for the first round, visiting the San Diego Stadium, and the game against Inter Milan. He studied Inter Milan's tactics and game videos almost day and night, trying to find out the opponent. Weaknesses and weaknesses.

At the weekend, in the twentieth round of Serie B, Naples drew Lecce one-to-one away.

In order to prepare for the cup match, Gao Shen played Lecce with almost a full bench lineup, but was tied at home by the opponent.

This is also impossible.

Napoli's lineup is actually not ample, Gao Shen must concentrate the best players to prepare for Inter Milan.

After playing Lecce, Naples carefully adjusted for two more days at Castel Volturno before heading north to Milan.

On the evening of January 24, Milano San Diego Stadium.

In the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final, Naples played away to Inter Milan.

As the dark horse of the Coppa Italia this season, Naples won the plaudits after their 6-0 home victory over Roma. Countless Italian media have called on Inter Milan to stop Naples In any case, they cannot let Gao Shen took his team to the last laugh, otherwise, it would be a disaster for Italian football.

The Mancini people didn't talk much and didn't say much before the game, but they did their best in the game.

Goalkeeper Cesar, defense Maxwell, Samuel, Materazzi and Maicon, midfielders are Solari, Cambiasso, Vieira and Figo, and the two forwards are Ibrahimovic Simovic and Crespo.

Inter Milan can be said to be the main force, and they play in a four-four-two double-forward formation.

With the combination of Solari and Maxwell on the left, coupled with Ibrahimovic's suppression of the right central defender Cannavaro, Napoli's right was completely destroyed.

In the 11th and 24th minutes of the first half, Inter Milan scored two consecutive goals, scored by Solari and Crespo.

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Vieira made another win in the 56th minute to expand the score to 3-0.

In the face of Inter Milan's absolute strength advantage, despite all the efforts made by Gao Shen before the game, the situation could not be changed in the end.

Gao Shen also suffered the most painful defeat since coaching Real Madrid.
