The international players returned to China to compete, and the hearts of Gao Shen and the coaching staff seemed to follow them back.
I'm so worried about them getting hurt.
Naples is in good shape now. The national team game itself is annoying enough. If there is another injury, it will be even more depressing, so Gao Shen and Lucas are paying close attention to the movements of the international players.
It's not that Gao Shen can't trust the coaches and team doctors of the national team, but that they are not worthy of trust at all.
Not to mention the national team, in fact, the team doctors of many middle and lower clubs are also seriously unreliable. In the early years, even the team doctors of giant teams such as Real Madrid and Barcelona were unreliable.
I don't know how many times these have been exposed by the media.
How can Gao Shen trust his players to those people?
But unfortunately, he couldn't refuse the call-up from the national team and the national youth team.
Gao Shen can now feel a kind of mood of "the dense seam before leaving, the fear of returning late".
Each of these players is a treasure that he has put a lot of effort into, and he is a go-getter with high hopes. How can he not be worried?
…
While anxiously awaiting the return of the internationals, the annual Italian Professional Coaching Summit was held in Rome.
Compared with UEFA's coaching summit, the Italian summit is relatively low-key.
Although it is still famous and handsome, there is not much publicity in the end.
Although Gao Shen had time, he did not go to Rome to participate, but he learned a lot about the situation at the scene.
Mainly because he has two informants, one is Saki.
After Naples beat Udinese 5-0 and climbed to the top of Serie A, Sacchi wrote three days of columns in one go, all introducing Naples and advanced tactics.
Don't say anything else, just for this level of hard work, Saki's title of [the number one horn of the sky] is stable.
Saki himself joked that if the editor-in-chief of the newspaper hadn't called him and asked him to change the subject, he planned to write for a week in one go, which made Gao Shen couldn't help but criticize the old guy.
"I think you should be called the No. 1 water monster in the sky! It's so good at water!"
But Saki felt that he wanted to explain a lot of things clearly, which inevitably made people feel like water.
"Otherwise, how can I let more people see your tactical ideas and intentions clearly?"
"Then what?" Gao Shen asked back.
"I believe that they will find inspiration in it, whether they agree or disagree, whether they want to learn or want to kill you, they will change from what they have and change with the times."
This point, Gao Shen had to admit.
But he believes that it is difficult for Serie A to have a big change in the short term because there is not enough talent supply.
Serie A's youth training is withering, and foreign aid restrictions are strict, resulting in a sharp decline in the overall strength of Serie A.
Inter Milan is the top team that can be discharged from the Serie A. The squad is large enough, but Mancini has become the weakest link of this team.
"Why does it sound like you are interested in Inter Milan?" Sacchi asked tentatively.
He always felt that Gao Shen was not like the kind of person who would stay in Naples for a long time.
Moreover, De Laurentiis is nothing now, but after a long time, he may not be willing to keep a low profile.
"I think this team can win the Champions League by changing a good head coach and strengthening two or three positions properly!" Gao Shen smiled lightly, as if he had great confidence in Inter Milan.
Saki agrees.
AC Milan can win the Champions League, which is somewhat surprising.
In other words, this is the three-way victory of Ancelotti's Christmas tree tactics, Pirlo and Kaka, and Kaka's outbreak is the key here. Without Kaka's outbreak, AC Milan would be difficult to win the championship.
Sometimes the Champions League is like that.
If you pile up your strength, you can only be sent to the top eight at most, and you will be the top four. If you want to move forward, I'm sorry, you only have strength, but luck is not enough.
Of course, it can also be understood in reverse, luck is elusive, but it is reserved for those who are prepared.
…
Ancelotti didn't call Gao Shen, he came directly from Rome to Naples.
The dead fat man also told Gao Shen with dignity and dignity that he made a special trip to give Gao Shen a chance to invite him to a meal.
"If you think so, it's your honor to invite the coach of the Champions League to dinner!"
Hearing this, Gao Shen wondered if Ancelotti had taken the wrong medicine?
"Do you believe it or not? I'll go out and find someone to beat you up and send you back to Milan!" Gao Shen threatened.
Ancelotti laughed, "That's good, I even saved the airfare."
During the meal, Ancelotti and Gao Shen talked about Ulivieri's speech.
It's long, a lot of theoretical stuff, it looks like that, but how to do it is another story.
For example, he felt that to avoid Napoli's high pressure, he had to move the ball as quickly as possible.
Who doesn't know this?
But the question is, how to do it?
Italy's three best passing central defenders are all in Naples, namely Bonucci, David Luiz and Cannavaro Jr.
Forget the first two players, when did Cannavaro become a center back?
Why didn't he show his potential in this regard when he was at Parma?
Then the question arises, is it that Gao Shen and his tactics have shaped the characteristics of the players and tapped their potential in this regard? Or do the players themselves have the potential in this regard and are valued highly?
Others are hard to say, but at least from Cannavaro Jr., it seems to be more of the former.
So the second question arises. The best passing centre-backs are all in Naples. What should we do?
Develop it yourself? What year and month?
dig people?
If these people are cultivated and poached, can they still play like Naples?
Due to the absence of Gao Shen, the discussion at the venue was very open, and many people even directly criticized Gao Shen's tactics, believing that it was a kind of offensive and destructive football, and it was a retrogression of football techniques and tactics.
But more people believe that Naples football is still worth studying and thinking about, but it is difficult to learn.
Since last season, Naples has always been the team with the most running distance in Italian football. After arriving in Serie A this season, it is obviously better than last season. How can others learn?
Naples is the team with the youngest average age and the most running distance in the top leagues in all Italy, even in Europe. This is something that other teams can't learn if they want to.
Of course, this can be considered as a future team formation, but with the current player configuration, there is really no team in Serie A that can learn from Naples.
"In the end, they quickly reached a consensus that since they can't learn, they should find a way, brainstorm, and restrain Naples."
Gao Shen was happy when he heard it, "Then what? Did you come up with a solution?"
Ancelotti glanced at him and clicked his tongue, "Since it's a way to restrain you, how can I tell you?"
He sighed deeply and said nothing.
This fat man likes to play tricks and sell tricks.
In fact, the tactical field is more of a kind of thinking. Some are like Bielsa, Benitez, Guardiola, etc., behind closed doors, hiding at home and thinking, and some are going out and talking to more people. Discuss and spark.
Gao Shen really doesn't believe it. In the occasion of the coaching summit, he can really talk about tactics against him.
Of course, strict defense is definitely not counted.
Putting a bus is definitely the first magic formation in the past, and it will never be out of date.
…
After being rubbed by Ancelotti for a meal, Gao Shen devoted himself to a rather boring career as a left-behind coach.
Every day, news of the training and games of Naples players in the national team and the national youth team comes to him. Who is performing in training and who is performing in games. All the information is very detailed and clear.
Gao Shen also understood the player's every move.
Little Cannavaro did not play in the two European Cup qualifiers in Italy in the end. The scene of the two Cannavaro brothers fighting side by side was forced to only hope for the future.
But with Materazzi's comeback, as Napoli's two young central defenders, Bonucci and David Luiz, have become more and more eye-catching, which makes Cannavaro's position in Naples quite embarrassing.
No one can predict what will happen next.
But what Gao Shen did not expect was that, after following Argentina to Australia, after playing a warm-up match, when returning to Argentina to participate in the second warm-up match against Mexico, Naples midfielder Biglia was injured in the game. , was replaced by Gago in the middle.
After the game, the Argentine team doctor informed Naples that Biglia suffered a calf muscle injury and was initially estimated to be out for a month.
When Gao Shen got this result, he was furious at Fort Volturno.
Biglia is still very important to Naples now.
Rakitic is young, Vidal and Nainggolan can't replace, Parejo and Pastore are still too young, in this case, Biglia's stable performance is crucial, and he There is also strong organizational skills, and the defense is getting better and better.
I am injured now, what should I do?
"I really can't understand those pig brains, UU reading went to Australia to play a warm-up match? Back to Argentina, another warm-up match? You said you wanted to prepare for the Copa America qualifiers, you played Wouldn't it be better for the second one?"
Gao Shen was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
In fact, everyone knows why they want to play the first game.
Because Australia gives money!
Well now, I have tossed and injured the Naples general, which will make Naples play next?
The third round of the home game against Sampdoria is actually not bad, because this game Gao Shen did not intend to let the international players, especially those from South America, participate in the war. The key is the three league games in the next week, and the international players Milan's seventh round of Serie A.
"Bring Biglia back immediately, I want to know as soon as possible whether he will be able to catch up with the game against Inter Milan!"
After finishing speaking, Gao Shen scolded the Argentine Football Association indignantly.
The away game against Inter Milan, this is the game he has been planning for a long time!
