Xunzi said: If you do not accumulate a few steps, you will not be able to reach a thousand miles; if you do not accumulate small streams, you will not be able to form a river or sea.
Gao Shen heard this sentence from a very young age and understood the truth of "progress comes from accumulation".
At that time, whether it was him, his parents or his teachers, they all told him that accumulation comes from hard work.
Later, when he had a conversation with a teacher at the university, there was a sentence that impressed him particularly.
"Progress comes from accumulation, and accumulation comes from hard work, but hard work does not equal progress."
At first glance, Gao Shen felt that these words were easy to understand. He felt that he understood, but when he walked out of school and entered the society, he realized that hard work itself was a very heavy burden.
Especially when you are burdened with family responsibilities every day, with various assessment indicators, and with various debts, when everything forces you to work hard, you will be farther away from progress. Far.
After work, there was a time when he was thinking about a question, why did he believe in the so-called 996?
Why does everyone have to work so hard?
A senior in the workplace told him an example, the famous psychologist Skinner's pigeon box.
This experiment is to put eight pigeons in eight independent boxes. There are mechanisms in the boxes. At regular intervals, food will drop down to feed the pigeons.
After a few days, six of these eight pigeons will have very interesting changes.
Some of them keep spinning counterclockwise; some repeatedly hit a corner of the box with their heads, and some…
All in all, they'll behave in all sorts of weird ways.
Why?
Skinner thought, because the pigeons were superstitious.
They mistakenly believe that one of their actions must have caused the food to appear, so they want to repeat the previous specific action to make the food appear again. .
Superstition works hard, superstition is ninety-six, which is exactly the same.
…
After the crossing, since coaching Real Madrid, Gao Shen has been advocating humanized management.
His training sessions are always ninety minutes, which is exactly the time of a game, which is also recognized as scientific time in European football.
He will ask the coaching staff to design the 90-minute training program as compact and full as possible, so that the players can stay focused and give their best during training, but after training, he seldom arranges players for additional training, and even once He took a vacation when he got the chance, let everyone rest, and he didn't even ask all the players to gather the night before the game...
These are all he learned from other famous coaches such as Ferguson, Wenger, Ancelotti and other famous coaches.
He knows how to do it, but why?
Not only him, in fact, many coaches, including famous coaches, know what to do, but don't know why.
Until later, in order to better study the psychology of players, Naples specially hired a famous Italian psychology expert. Gao Shen asked him this question, and he gave a very interesting 3F rule.
This is the theory put forward by two American psychologists.
The 3Fs are: Focus, Feedback, and Fixit Improvements.
Therefore, Gao Shen applied the 3F rule to his daily training.
Each training session is 90 minutes, and everyone is required to maintain absolute concentration. After training, players can move freely to relax; after the training session, the analysis team will give each player a training analysis report, which will List the various problems that players have in training.
Next is the coaching staff to help the players correct their problems and help them improve.
This season, Naples persevered in this way. Even if there were problems with the team's state in the two months before the winter break, they still won the second place in Serie A.
Gao Shen also adhered to a scientific attitude and invited Pintus during the winter break to let Buenaventura and Pintus join forces to build the strength and physical fitness of Naples players.
…
After the winter break, Napoli have endured a difficult and long period of devil training.
To be honest, no matter it is the high school, the coaching staff, or even Buenaventura and Pintus, they are somewhat apprehensive. After all, no one knows what the final result will be until the actual results come out.
Then came the intensive schedule of Serie A and the Coppa Italia, a week of double games in a row, Naples' players kept spinning, everyone, every game was exhausted.
The effect of devil training?
Sorry, I really can't see it in this period of time.
The most is to be able to feel that the state of the players has picked up, and their physical fitness has gradually improved.
But after playing Udinese, the team ushered in a one-week rest period, taking a deep breath to give the team two days off, one day on Sunday afternoon, and another day on Wednesday afternoon.
This is absolutely extravagant!
By the time the players returned to Fort Volturno on Thursday afternoon, the coaching staff could feel that change very clearly.
Whether it is the spirit of the players, or the various data obtained through the testing of the coaching staff and team doctors, or the various performances of the players in training, they are obviously much better than before.
The atmosphere of the training ground was very lively, the players performed very hard, and from time to time there would be some amazing scenes, which caused everyone to cheer.
Gao Shen stood on the side of the training ground the whole time, silently watching the players training.
He could feel it, the energy in the players came back.
Gu Xuan
Even, he can easily feel the player's progress.
After experiencing the trough of the first two months of the winter break, the tempering of the devil's training during the winter break, and the tempering of the previous two consecutive weeks of double games, the players of Naples have become stronger!
Gao Shen can now say with great certainty that he was right to introduce Pintus!
This is a very correct decision!
He also began to believe that the team will be able to adjust to the best state in the next three weeks and play against Inter Milan at home!
…
"Thank you, Antonio!"
After training, Gao Shen sent the players away and came to Pintus.
Pintus felt it too, cheerfully, and laughed from ear to ear.
"I want to thank you, Gao, you gave me a chance to prove myself. I am very satisfied with the results of this training, but we must continue to work hard."
Pintus' remarks were affirmed by members of the surrounding coaching staff.
Gao Shen then thanked Buenaventura for his hard work during this time.
Before the winter break, there was a problem with the team's state. Of course Buenaventura was responsible, but his ability was unquestionable, and after this problem, I believe that after Buenaventura Will do better and better.
Players are constantly developing problems and improving by correcting them, and the same is true for coaches.
A hero with three gangs.
Gao Shen knows better than anyone that on his future coaching road, these members of the coaching staff will be his most valuable asset and his most effective assistant.
"I'm really confident now, our match against Inter has just begun!"
...
...
The twenty-second round of Serie A.
Roma are at home, beating Reggina 2-0 and temporarily surpassing Napoli in the real-time standings.
AC Milan beat Siena 1-0 at home.
After the adjustment of Ancelotti's team in the winter break, the state was completely different from that in the first half of the season.
Juventus also felt the crisis, but in the away game against Udinese, the Bianconeri conceded the goal in six minutes, and then relied on goals from Camoranesi and Iaquinta to reverse Udinese 2-1. Dines.
Inter Milan was on the road, with goals from Cambiasso and Suazzo, beating Catania 2-0.
…
Napoli's opponent is Sampdoria.
Mazzari's team has always been tenacious, especially when they are at home, they are more powerful.
The formation is still Mazzari's iconic three-five-two, with Cassano and Bellucci as the double forwards. At the beginning of the game, he launched a fierce attack and suppression of Naples, trying to suppress Naples.
In just two minutes of the opening, Bellucci sent a wonderful pass in the frontcourt. Macho rushed into the penalty area on the right, kicked the goal, and was saved by the goalkeeper Handanovic.
Just three minutes later, Macho made a comeback again with another long shot that went wide of the goal.
This Sampdoria right-sided player who is admired by Gao Shen, in Mazzari's three-five-two tactics, took on the offense and defense of the entire wing on the right, and his performance was also commendable.
After seeing Macho's excellent performance on the sidelines, Gao Shen was even more determined. In any case, he would win the Italian right winger this summer and double insurance for Naples' right winger.
In this way, Napoli will have more confidence and confidence in the multi-line battle next season.
After holding on to a wave of attacks from Sampdoria, Naples gradually stabilized their position and immediately responded.
In the 30th minute, Naples earned a corner kick in several consecutive counterattacks.
In the corner kick attack, the center defender Bonucci grabbed a favorable position and headed the ball into the upper left corner, 1-0!
This goal did not suppress Sampdoria, but further stimulated the blood of the home team.
Mazzari's team continued to launch waves of onslaughts against Naples, but Di Maria's counterattack hit the post first, and then in the 39th minute, Hamsik A long-range shot pierced Sampdoria's goal again.
Two to zero, the score is further expanded!
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Sampdoria still held high and continued to attack Naples.
In the 65th minute, Napoli made a quick counterattack after a steal. Di Maria and the trident in the frontcourt diverted the attention of most of Sampdoria's defenders, but suddenly shifted to the right side of the penalty area. .
Lichtsteiner, who came in from behind, stopped the ball and hit a long shot with his right foot, which once again smashed the ball into Sampdoria's goal, three to zero!
Naples is set!
And this score has always been maintained to the end, Sampdoria failed to break the goal of Naples at home.
Gao Shen got his wish and got three points.
But what is more important is the team's performance on the scene, so that everyone noticed that Naples finally got out of the trough.
