Chapter 313： Sorry, I'm gloating!

Ranieri was depressed.

Inter Milan reversed Parma 3-2, Roma defeated Catania 2-0, Naples defeated Lazio 2-0…

Only his Juventus, a 0-0 draw with Sampdoria.

And still at home.

For this game, Ranieri is really full of grievances.

Twenty-one shots, four shots on target, with such efficiency, what else can he say?

In contrast, in the match between Naples and Lazio, 22 shots and 13 shots were on target, and the efficiency was obviously much higher than that of Juventus.

This comparison may seem reasonable, but it is not objective.

Why?

Ranieri said in the post-match press conference that it is necessary to consider whether the kicking opportunities created by Juventus are good or not?

If Napoli created better shots and Juventus were more of a reluctant kicker, it would obviously not be a problem of efficiency, but a problem of the team's ability to create chances.

As a result, the media turned the gun again, accusing his team of lack of creativity.

Even Torino Gazzetta dello Sport said that he was too superstitious about power, ignoring technique and creativity, that the tactics he designed for Juventus were unbalanced in attack and defense, the style of play was too simple, and there was a lack of change...

Anyway, Ranieri has a feeling that he is not the fourth in Serie A, but the fourth from last in Serie A!

Of course, by comparison, his situation is relatively good.

Look at that young man in Naples, almost all of whom have been branded as the enemy of the whole nation by the Italian media.

Ranieri's mood improved a lot when he thought of the depths.

Just think of Naples again, think of St. Paul's Stadium, think of the group of fans who don't even allow him to squat...

In the morning, Ranieri, who was shaving in front of the bathroom mirror, laughed rudely.

Sorry, I'm gloating!

…

After shaving, Ranieri went back to his room to change his clothes, tie his tie, and put on his watch. Just as he was about to go out, the classic Nokia bell in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.

Ranieri took out his mobile phone and frowned when he saw that it was Seco's call.

He guessed that Seco wanted to accuse him of the draw with Sampdoria again.

But there is no way, the phone that should be answered has to be answered.

"Hello." Ranieri answered the phone.

"Claudio, where are you?" Seco on the phone was a little anxious.

"At home, I'm about to have breakfast, so..." Ranieri wanted to say calmly. If it's discussing unpleasant things, wait until I finish this breakfast.

But Seco on the other side of the phone didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and interrupted him directly, "You should give us an account of this."

Ranieri thought it was because the league was tied at home, "I know, Alessio, I will give you an explanation when I go back."

"No no no, Claudio, now I, the chairman, and the general manager are all waiting for your explanation. You must tell me now, immediately, immediately, what is going on?"

Ranieri also became angry, and his tone became not very friendly. "I said at the post-match press conference, we have an overwhelming advantage, our shots are three times the opponent's, but the state of our players It's not very good, the efficiency is a bit low, which leads to us being unable to score, and we haven't been able to score goals for a long time..."

"Wait, Claudio, we said it's not about the league." Secco interrupted him again.

Ranieri was taken aback, "Isn't it about the league?"

Immediately afterwards, the tinker also wondered, "What's that?"

"We were about to ask you." Seco was also a little anxious.

"How would I know?"

"Didn't you read today's paper?"

"Which one?"

"Turin sports newspaper, La Repubblica, Gazzetta dello Sport... No need for any one, all the major newspapers, even if you go online directly, the major news websites are reporting, and the Kapana thing has been exposed!"

Kapana?

His fitness coach, Ricardo Capana.

What about Kapana?

Ranieri soon realized what was going on.

He immediately walked out of the room, walked to the living room in three steps and two steps, picked up a newspaper above, and saw the front page headline of Turin Sports News, "The mediocrity of Juventus! ].

Look at another newspaper [Slow Motion], which also publishes the news of Capana: Juventus is the culprit of many injuries!

Corriere dello Sport even ridiculed Kapana as an old driver who drove without a license.

For a time, Ranieri panicked.

The thing he was most afraid of and worried about finally happened!

…

Almost overnight, the major media outlets across Italy were reporting an incredible piece of news.

Ricardo Capana, a well-known professor from the University of Genoa from Juventus, author of 18 famous books on competitive sports training, and respected by many professionals in the industry, did not get the official qualification of Italian physical fitness coach. .

In other words, he either didn't take the exam, or he didn't pass the exam.

Who can believe it? Who can accept it?

Juventus has suffered not many injuries this season, but several major players have problems. Del Piero's second spring is because he insists on trusting his personal trainer, but Camoranesi and Nedvi That's not the case with De and others.

Capana came to Juventus with the halo of an expert and professor, and was expected and respected by Juventus, but gradually, as the season deepened, with the team's injuries, Kapana's training began to change. began to be challenged.

For example, many people feel that his training method does not fully take into account the actual situation of Juventus, blindly learning Mourinho's training method, combining training with the ball and running training.

"Juventus players simply can't adapt to so much training with the ball, but he insists that this is the most advanced and reasonable training method." The media attacked.

Ranieri has also defended Capana on multiple occasions, arguing that "it will take him longer to measure the results of his physical training."

The implication is to give Kapana more time.

Originally, everyone felt the same way, and even the voices of doubt in the locker room were very small.

After all, Capana is an expert scholar at the University of Genoa, and many professionals are studying his works.

But who would have thought that he did not have a coaching certificate!

All of a sudden, the skeptics who were skeptical had to start to wonder if this so-called expert professor only had theory without any practical experience to support it?

Also, many media have questioned Ranieri, do you know that Capana does not have a coaching certificate?

Why is a person without a coaching certificate sitting on the Juventus coaching bench, and why so many Juventus players trust him and accept his training?

So far this season, Juventus' state has not been adjusted to the best, and injuries have never stopped. Is this related to Capana's training?

In addition to Juventus, has Capana proven his training method on other teams, even amateur teams?

The answer given by the media is: no!

At least, they didn't find any relevant proof!

So, how did Ranieri choose Capana?

No one knows because Capana was still teaching at the University of Genoa when Ranieri put out the fire in Parma last season.

…

In fact, the management of Juventus was also very skeptical when Ranieri was tried in three sessions. Why did he choose Ricardo Capana as Juventus' fitness coach?

Ranieri arrived at the Juventus headquarters early in the morning, before he even had time to eat breakfast.

When faced with this problem, he repeatedly emphasized that there is no problem with Capana's professional level. He decided to invite Capana to join his coaching staff after careful consideration, and it was by no means the kind of hasty battle reported by the media.

As for why Kapana doesn't have a coaching certificate?

Ranieri said that it was because Capana didn't think about coaching before, so he didn't take the test.

Now, the problem is obvious.

Ricardo Capana, a well-known expert and professor in the Italian football circle, his works have been studied by many professionals, but he himself does not have a coaching certificate or any first-line practical experience.

Is he trustworthy?

"I trust him!" Ranieri cast his vote and insisted on his choice.

The Juventus Big Three are very troubled, because they have never encountered such a difficult problem.

It is not that there is no precedent for unlicensed driving in Serie A, but the problem is that it is all under the condition of knowledge.

There are really no examples like Kapana.

Especially when it happens to a giant team like Juventus.

Precisely because of this, no one even suspected this before the incident was exposed.

Because a coaching certificate should be the minimum, the most basic thing.

"Claudio." General Manager Blanco looked at Ranieri with a serious face, "Have you ever thought about the training methods for Capana since the beginning of this summer and now we have suffered a lot of injuries in the team. I have had doubts for a long time, and now such a thing breaks out, how to deal with it? What will the players' psychology think?"

Ranieri is well aware that when this incident is exposed, the impact on Juventus will be huge, even on him.

"I still insist that he will be a very good and very professional physical fitness coach!" Ranieri still insisted.

In fact, he can only continue to insist on his own opinion.

Fire Kapana?

For Ranieri, UU reading is definitely the worst decision at the moment.

As for Juventus, they also have to consider the consequences of the whole thing.

Ranieri was hired by Blanco, and when such a thing broke out, Seco of course wanted to pull back a game, but if things get out of hand and affect Juventus' season journey, this is also Seco. unwilling to see.

At that time, he, the sports director, may have done it.

After all, so far this season, the players he has brought in have also been criticized.

It can be said that in this matter, he and Blanco are quite suspicious of bad brothers and bad brothers.

Just like this, how do the players explain? How to appease the media?

There is also the big boss, who must give an explanation.

More importantly, the Coppa Italia will face Naples next!

It's really bad luck!
