From coaching Real Madrid

171 The Battle Book

July 10th, Fort Volturno.

Today is the big day for the opening of Naples' summer training camp.

A lot of media reporters gathered outside the training base, some of them came from afar.

From the verbal spat between De Laurentiis and Seco, to Seco and Martin's bombardment of Gao Shen, and now the start of training camps, countless media and fans around the world are paying attention to the latest developments in Naples.

As early as when the player joined the team, Gao Shen took Buenaventura to personally participate in the physical examination.

Buenaventura is mainly responsible for understanding the physical condition of the players and some injuries, while Gao Shen is responsible for communicating with the players, understanding some of their situations and needs, and explaining to them some of his management of the team.

idea.

Gao Shen also specifically asked the club to hire two high-level translators in order to communicate with the players more conveniently.

Of course, he himself is learning Italian, but it will take some time.

Due to the previous preparations being done well, the players already knew the team's requirements before coming to Fort Volturno.

Gao Shen has clearly communicated the team's disciplines and rules and regulations to every player, and captain Montevino is also responsible for communicating and explaining to the players.

Speaking of captain, Montevino's level makes it difficult for him to play the main role in a senior team. There is no problem with his ability to cope with Serie B, but senior players now have more requirements.

Fortunately, Montevino is a versatile player and is relatively familiar with and understands the situation in Naples. He cannot play more of an role on the court, but he can still have a great impact in the locker room.

After Gao Shen returned from South America, he met with Montevino twice, mainly to communicate about his continuing to serve as captain.

The other captain is veteran goalkeeper Jezo, who is unlikely to be the main player this season, but they both remain in the team.

This is Gao Shen's experience and lessons learned when Villas-Boas coached Chelsea and Moyes coached Manchester United.

Having just arrived, the most important thing now is integration and integration.

The annual salary of the two veterans is not high, and they have joined the club since its inception. They have worked hard and made great achievements. Gao Shen also hopes that they can play an active role in helping new players integrate into the team.

They also promised Gao Shen that they would try their best to help Gao Shen.

Another person who was entrusted by Gao Shen with the responsibility of dressing room management is former Parma main defender Paulo Cannavaro. He is a direct descendant of the Naples youth training. Strictly speaking, he is currently the top player in the Naples team.

God knows, how did De Laurentiis fool him?

Gao Shen also talked to him and hoped that he could lead the newly joined players and play a positive role in the locker room.

Cannavaro Jr. has naturally heard of Gao Shen, and he even revealed that Gao Shen's coaching was a very important factor in why he finally agreed to join Naples.

This is undoubtedly a positive sign.

Gao Shen clearly feels the advantages brought by fame and influence.

For example, when he first took charge of Real Madrid, not to mention the top superstars, even the other players in the first team were not very interested in him and did not trust him much, let alone support him.

But now, having arrived in Naples with the halo of a double championship, he has become the most powerful person in Fort Volturno. Everyone has no choice but to obey him, and he communicates very smoothly with the players.

To put it bluntly, he is the manager of this team!

On the morning of the first day of camp, there was a detail that showed great prestige, that is, all the players arrived at Fort Volturno an hour in advance.

Because on the first day of training, they need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination and then warm up.

When Gao Shen communicated with them, what he emphasized most was discipline. One of the points was that he would start training on time, so the players had to arrive early to warm up, and each of his training sessions lasted ninety minutes.

The training time of many teams is very long, even 120 minutes. The reason is still discipline.

Gao Shen immediately established rules from the first day the camp opened.

With rules, efficiency will naturally increase.

In addition, Gao Shen also emphasized that during the summer training camp, there will be a routine tactical class every day, which lasts for thirty minutes and is arranged before the afternoon training. The purpose is to help the players better understand the intentions of the coaching staff.

, including training and tactics, etc.

The teachers in the tactical class will all be members of the core coaching staff, including Gao Shen, who will personally explain his tactical ideas to the players and the importance of some tactical disciplines.

He needs to allow all players to understand his tactics and implement them during a month of training.

The coaching staff has also specially developed some training methods that are interesting, can stimulate players' enthusiasm, and can also increase players' familiarity and understanding with each other. For example, Gao Shen found a training method from Van Gaal's book: let all players hold hands.

Make a circle with your hands and push it with your head. The ball cannot hit the ground. Whoever hits the ground will be punished.

This training is quite fun.

At the beginning, the players were a little cautious, but after they got familiar with it, they got really excited and started to have fun, and even played all kinds of dirty tricks and framed them.

There are also endless forms of punishment, and all kinds of messy punishments are available.

Gao Shen and the coaching staff basically did not participate in it and let the players make their own decisions.

There was also constant laughter on the training ground.

Not only Gao Shen, but also the entire coaching staff was satisfied with the atmosphere of the first training session.

Although there are still some language barriers and there is not enough tacit understanding with each other, the team is energetic.

"How do you feel?"

After the first training session, Gao Shen appeared in the press conference hall and faced all the media reporters who came specially.

This is his duty as a landlord.

But he didn't wait for reporters to ask questions. As soon as he sat down, he took the lead in asking media reporters what they thought of the first training session.

In fact, the training content is very simple, consisting of some basic adjustments and recovery. What is more interesting are some warm-up items carefully designed by Buenaventura before training, and some recovery items after the training session, such as the overhead ball.

.

"The atmosphere at the scene was very lively and they were all having a great time." A reporter stood up and laughed.

"Any more?"

"I think it's pretty good, but will it be too relaxing?" another reporter said.

This is also a problem. The atmosphere in Italy has always been conservative.

This is true at the tactical level, and it is also true at the spiritual level of the entire team.

Therefore, in Italy, it is rare to see a team that plays very unrestrained and energetic.

"On the first day of the training camp, our training intensity is relatively light, and we will increase the training intensity next. These game-like events are all for the purpose of combining work and rest, and our players are very young." Gao Shen explained with a smile.

"Mr. Gao." A reporter raised his hand and stood up after receiving approval, "Excuse me, Mr. Gao, when you talk about young people, according to the data we have obtained so far, as of now, you should be Serie B 20

The youngest in the second team, what do you think?"

Gao Shen smiled and stretched out his hand to invite him to sit down, "I personally think so. When Van Gaal led Ajax to win the UEFA Cup, the average age of the team was only 23 years old. By 1995, when they won the UEFA Cup,

When we were in the Champions League, we were 23 years old, which is actually about the same age as we are now."

"Of course, I don't deny that age will bring about an experience issue, but I don't think it will cause too big a problem for the team. The key lies in the execution of techniques and tactics. To me, young players are like

It's a blank piece of paper, and I hope to draw the most wonderful football on this piece of white paper."

These profound words received bursts of applause.

It's true that Italian culture is conservative, but that doesn't mean they can't accept passion and vitality.

"Mr. Gao, you should have noticed Juventus sporting director Secco and Real Madrid's former chairman Martin recently. Do you have any response to their remarks?"

Gao Shen's smile faded and he did not hide his displeasure. After gesturing for the other party to sit down, he said in a deep voice: "This is the last time I will respond to this kind of question, so don't ask any more."

"I can understand Seko's amateurism. As for why he is an amateur, you have already found out, right?"

The media reporters burst into laughter.

In the final analysis, De Laurentiis was such a thief. He deliberately hid half of what he said and told only half of what he said. This caused media reporters to rush in and tell the story of how Seco entered Juventus through connections. The media completely exposed it.

Out.

The reason why Seko bites Gao Shen hard and doesn't let go is because of this.

"As for Martin, I still say the same thing. I am very grateful to him for appointing me as the head coach of Real Madrid. This is the beginning of everything I have now. At the same time, I can also understand his anger at this moment, because he is now

He is the former president of Real Madrid."

Gao Shen emphatically strengthened his tone and emphasized the first word.

"I won't spend too much time and energy explaining these issues because I am too busy. I am very busy every day. Such trivial matters are not worth responding to for me."

"If I had to say something, I would say, let your performance on the court speak for itself!"

"I think my players are trustworthy, but Seco thinks they are not. Well, we will see you on the court. I even hope to meet Juventus before the season starts. You should all know that revenge is such a thing.

, can’t wait too long.”

"As for Martin, he can say whatever he likes. Anyway, he has plenty of time now."

As soon as Gao Shen finished speaking, someone from the media reporters immediately raised their hands.

"Mr. Gao, does this count as your declaration of war against Juventus?"

"You can understand it this way. I respect Juventus, Blanco, and Deschamps, but I don't like amateurs like Seco, who are like a fly buzzing in my ears.

Point and point.”

All the media reporters laughed.

It sounds nice, but it actually hurts a lot.

If Seco keeps saying that he is an amateur and comparing him to a fly, he will go crazy if this reaches his ears?

Since being exposed by De Laurentiis, Secco is now in a lot of trouble. Coupled with Gao Shen's insult, Juventus's sports director may be so angry that he will vomit blood.
