From coaching Real Madrid
173 Dissatisfied? I hit you!
On the evening of August 18th, Naples San Paolo Stadium.
The team's first match of the new season was a Coppa Italia match against Frosinone, their old rival in the C1 League.
This opponent is not very strong, but he cannot be careless.
The key still depends on what is Naples' overall strength after investing more than 16 million euros?
This is not only a question for Naples fans, but also a question for Italy and even Europe.
With the halo of winning both La Liga and the Champions League, he decided to coach Napoli, the newly promoted Serie B team. This is an incredible choice at any time.
But Gao Shen did it!
Local media in Naples believe that Gao Shen's move from Real Madrid to Naples is just like Maradona's move from Barcelona. They will both start a new era in Naples.
In the Maradona era, Naples also invested huge sums of money. Now it has ushered in a sophisticated era. Although Naples' overall investment is far less than that of the Maradona era, it can be considered quite courageous.
Now, it's time to hand in your answer sheet.
…
De Laurentiis was a little nervous, waiting restlessly in the office.
Tonight, the attendance rate at the Sao Paulo Stadium was quite good, with more than 50,000 fans attending the stadium, almost full.
This is the first round of the Coppa Italia, and the opponent is not a strong team. The reason why it has such box office appeal is entirely due to Gao Shen's debut, as well as the club's reorganization and investment this summer.
But the more this happened, the more nervous De Laurentiis became.
He makes movies, but his career is more in Hollywood, USA.
In Hollywood, every movie has a strict planning process from the beginning of the project, and basically goes through the entire process. Before it is released, everyone already knows whether the movie will be a hit? Or mediocre? Or a big hit?
deficit?
But football is different. No one knows the outcome until the moment it is revealed.
De Laurentiis opened the humidor several times, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Marino finally knocked on the office door outside.
Seeing the club general manager he had just appointed walk in, De Laurentiis immediately asked: "How is it? What did he say?"
"He said he was very confident," Marino replied.
De Laurentiis clicked his tongue, "Having confidence is not enough, you have to be able to win."
He has now made a big bet.
More than 16 million euros, which is an astronomical figure for a Serie B team.
If he can't win, then De Laurentiis will become a joke in Italian football.
"No, I'll go and ask him myself." De Laurentiis couldn't hold himself back.
Since July 10, when the team officially started training, De Laurentiis only went to Fort Volturno once. On the second day of the camp, he went to meet with the players. The rest of the time he went to Fort Volturno.
Waiting.
Of course, he sneaked away to watch a game, but what should I say?
The performance was still unsatisfactory, even though the game was won.
Now, he is really worried.
The opponent was Frosinone, their opponent in the C1 League last season. Naples defeated their opponent 3-1 on the road and drew 1-1 at home. They had the advantage in terms of strength and results.
Although every game is different, if after investing huge sums of money, he still can't defeat his opponent, what will De Laurentiis do? Will he still be laughed to death?
But just as he reached the door, De Laurentiis stopped again.
The Naples boss turned his head and looked at Marino, "Are they on the court or in the locker room?"
"Final preparations in the locker room before going on the field."
De Laurentiis clicked his tongue again and exhaled heavily, "I promised not to enter the locker room without his permission."
Marino stood aside, his eyes watching his nose, his nose watching his heart, expressionless.
"Pieppaolo, what do you think of Gao Shen's expression when he said this? Are you confident that you will definitely win? Or will you win with a high probability? Or is it half or half?"
Marino was a little dumbfounded. How could I tell?
But he is not a sophisticated person, so he does not dare to bargain with De Laurentiis.
After immediately making a frowning and thinking expression, he nodded and said: "I think there is a high probability that we can win."
"Bullshit, Gao is a double-champion coach, and we have invested so much. There is definitely a high probability that we can win, but isn't there still a small probability?" De Laurentiis realized that he was going crazy.
Marino was secretly happy: Boss, how can there be anything 100% on the football field?
But he didn't dare to say this.
If Gao Shen said something, it would be fine. If he said it, he would immediately be showered with spittle.
He knows what kind of character his boss is.
In fact, he really admired Gao Shen and regretted that he had agreed too quickly.
I don’t know what I was thinking at that time, but after being thoroughly analyzed by my boss, he immediately agreed.
Damn it, if you follow Gao Shen's example, take it easy and be reserved for a while, maybe the boss won't dare to manipulate you so casually anymore. It's really a mistake that will lead to eternal regrets.
Fortunately, when he is not angry, his boss is still kind to me.

"Do you know who we are facing tonight?"
While Napoli was preparing for the game in the home team's locker room, in the visiting team's locker room, Frosinone's head coach Ivo Iaconi was asking his players loudly.
"Naples, our bitter rivals last season." A player shouted while sitting in front of the locker.
Iaconi shook his head, "No, it's not just Naples, there are even stronger ones."
"Gao Shen?" another player asked.
"Yes!" Iaconi nodded, "The coach of Real Madrid last season, the coach of La Liga and the Champions League double champion, the hottest young coach in European football today!"
When Iaconi said this, he looked directly at his players, and he was making final mobilization.
“You must all know this, but you must also know that when he came, he shouted that he wanted to win the Serie B championship, that he wanted to break into Serie A, and that he wanted to build a strong Serie A team within three years.
What to do?"
"Does he think that no one in the Italian Serie B can stop him? Does he really think that in the entire Serie B, Naples led by him is the strongest and other teams are useless?"
At the end of the sentence, Iaconi asked questions one after another, which infected all the players on the scene.
It’s so disrespectful!
"I can tell you that now, all the teams in the entire Serie B want to beat him and are proud to beat him, and we have this opportunity to become the first Naples team to officially challenge Gao Shen and him.
team!"
"We should be proud of this! At the same time, we must also show our best performance and tell them severely in front of Gao Shen and Naples that Serie B is not their backyard. Serie B teams, at least we
Frosinone is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by them!"
"Tell me, are you wimps?"
"No!!!!" The players stood up one after another and shouted in unison.
"Very good, go and prove it to me!"
…
When he walked out of the Sao Paulo Stadium, Ivo Iaconi saw a huge smile on his face.
Gao Shen was waiting for him at the entrance of the players' tunnel.
In his heart, Ivo Iaconi was unconvinced and even disgusted with this ridiculously young double-championship coach.
Not just for his results, but also for his conduct.
Too arrogant! Too arrogant! Too high-profile!
He has become an enemy of the entire Serie B league since he arrived. Do you really think there is no one in Serie B?
It is not a good thing for young people to be too arrogant!
Ivo Iaconi is just fifty years old this year, twice the age of Gao Shen. He feels that he has eaten more pasta than Gao Shen has traveled, so he does not like what Gao Shen does.
Such a character is destined to hit a wall in Italian football!
This resulted in him not showing a good face after meeting Gao Shen. He kept a straight face, shook hands, and after saying a few polite words, he turned around and walked back to the visiting team's coaching bench.
…
Gao Shen was confused.
Why did you provoke him?
Why do you act like you owe him millions for no reason?
baffling!
"Have you hit a snag?" Carlo asked with a smile.
Gao Shen chuckled twice, "Did I offend him?"
"The atmosphere in Italy is very conservative. You said you wanted to win the championship when you came here. Although it's okay from your point of view, they, the old-timers, naturally don't like it, and you are indeed too young."
There is some truth in what Carlo said.
On weekdays, when the head coaches shake hands, they are all middle-aged or old men in their forties or fifties, and it is very rare for them to be in their thirties.
Now a 25-year-old young coach suddenly appears. The key is that he also won the La Liga and the Champions League. What do you think of the seniors who have been playing football all their lives? They met.
How to deal with yourself?
Not to mention Iaconi, even Carlo actually struggled with it in his mind for several months before he finally admitted with all his heart that he was indeed inferior to Gao Shen in many aspects, and then he agreed to be his assistant coach.
"Understand, remember what you said before, you Chinese have a saying, if you don't make others jealous, you are a mediocre person, you have to get used to it!"
After hearing this, Gao Shen was actually happy, "My respected Mr. Carlo, are you trying to comfort me? Or are you praising me?"
"It's okay, whatever you want to understand." Carlo also laughed cheerfully.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with being an assistant coach to Gao Shen, except that he is too young, and it is quite a pleasure to work with him.
Gao Shen smiled, raised his head, looked around in the chairman's stand, and found that there were indeed too many people.
Sacchi said before that he would support him tonight, and Gao Shen even gave him a ticket.
There are also family members of some players, such as Rakitic and Sanchez's family, who are all arranged in the chairman's stand.
This is the debut of the new season, not only the debut of Gao Shen, but also the debut of this group of young players from Naples, and their first game in Italian football!
Gao Shen let out a heavy breath, turned his head again, glanced at Iaconi in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, and secretly gritted his teeth.
bring it on!
I am ready!
Not convinced, right?
I will beat you until you are convinced!
Didn’t Saki say everything?
Not only can I win you, but I must beat you until you are convinced. Only then will I show my true ability. This is called greatness!
