From coaching Real Madrid

"Damn it, is there such a thing?"

When Gao Shen saw the fax from the Italian Football Association in his hand, he was immediately stunned.

He even had the urge to go to the Roma Football Association headquarters.

Damn it, can you please stop playing tricks like this?

The decisive battle is imminent and I'm ready, but you're trying to stop me?

The fax contained a notice from the Italian Football Association, telling the Naples club that team player Paolo Cannavaro received a yellow card in the match against Ascoli, accumulating two yellow cards and will be suspended for the next round.

I go!

This sudden notification made everyone dumbfounded.

Gao Shen and his coaching staff were even more stunned. Suspended for two yellow cards?

Why don't you just get a yellow card and suspend the game?

Of course, these are the rules of the Italian Cup and are not specifically formulated for Naples.

What really annoyed Gao Shen was why he had to wait until the day before the game to notify him?

"The explanation Marino got from the Italian Football Association is that due to the significant changes in personnel this summer, the Football Association is now a little slow in handling some matters, so it is a little late. I hope we can understand." Carlo said with a wry smile.

This reason is indeed sufficient, after all, the impact of the phone scandal is still unfolding.

Not all of Paul Cannavaro's two yellow cards were obtained by Naples. One of them was obtained when he represented Parma in the Italian Cup last season. It was not eliminated, so it was naturally extended to Naples, so Gao Shen did not know about it.

This is a bit of a trap.

After all, Cannavaro only received one yellow card in Naples, so why was he suspended?

But who can I talk to to explain this kind of thing?

What's even more terrible is that there is a competition tomorrow.

Damn, what a scam!

"What are we going to do now?" Carlo asked concerned.

Naples' central defender reserve is actually quite good. In addition to Cannavaro Jr., David Luiz, and Bonucci, there are also Domic, Maldonado, Savini and Cuppi. Among them, Domic can play on the left, and Cupi can play on the left.

Pi is a versatile defender.

Of course, the strengths of these players vary, but Domic is the strongest with his left foot.

David Luiz and Bonucci are Gao Shen's most promising players, but they are both young. Domic is not weak, and at the age of 26, he is in his prime.

From a more reasonable perspective, it is of course most appropriate to continue to lead the new with the old.

However, Domic, Savini and Maldonado all have a common characteristic, which is excellent physical condition, but weak flexibility and mobility. Cupi has strong mobility, but is only 1.74 meters tall and 30 years old.

Years old.

This is actually normal. If he is excellent in all aspects, this kind of player will basically not appear in Naples' lineup last season and will have been poached by Serie B and even Serie A teams.

"I don't deny the potential of Bonucci and David Luiz, but at this stage, they are not stable enough, especially David Luiz. This kid is a waste." Carlo analyzed with a wry smile.

Gao Shen nodded, let alone now, in a few years, David Luiz will still be a waste.

In his impression, this guy was the type who would feel uncomfortable if he didn't play for three games.

Of course, he also had his moments of great glory.

"I'll go talk to them."

With that said, Gao Shen turned around and walked out.

…………

…………

When you go out and turn left, you will find the players' activity and entertainment room.

Gao Shen first called out Bonucci and basically told him about Cannavaro's suspension.

The players have also heard the news about this matter. When the Italian Football Association sent the fax, it also posted the suspension notice on the official website. The paper media was a little later, but the online media broke the news long ago.

Gao Shen asked Bonucci to prepare well. No matter what happens, he will continue to start.

After stabilizing Bonucci, Gao Shen asked him to call David Luiz to his office.

…

The Brazilian central defender is as green as a freshly picked jujube and has short hair.

Yes, the current David Luiz has not yet topped the bird's nest, so he is not in his strongest form yet.

Gao Shen has been waiting for his transformation.

If you have been in contact with him for a long time, you will find that this guy is a funny guy.

What does it mean?

Gao Shen once gave him a nickname in the locker room, Happy Bean.

Cheerful and playful, this personality made David Luiz blend in quickly.

He has almost all the potential of a top central defender. Note that not only is he a top central defender at this stage, but also by 2021, whether it is running coverage, pursuit defense, or awareness of attacking, or personal defense.

He is a good player.

Not to mention, he also has excellent passing vision and overall situation, as well as an outstanding long pass.

At the same time, he is irritable, reckless, easily excited, and unstable, which are all his shortcomings.

Is that good or bad?

In fact, before Gao Shen crossed over, the discussion about David Luiz was already in the streets, and the opposition between fans who liked him and those who hated him was very serious.

Why can there be such huge disagreements about the same player?

It's actually very simple, because David Luiz's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, and will produce different effects in different tactical environments.

If it is in a high-defense team, David Luiz's advantages are very large, and his shortcomings are almost negligible. Just like Real Madrid will not care about Ramos' mistakes, Barcelona will not think Puyol is unreliable.

But if you are in a team that defends in the low post, sorry, David Luiz is a time bomb. His shortcomings will be infinitely magnified, and it will be difficult to effectively use his advantages.

Some people say that the ten meters in front of the defensive line are the distance where the central defender keeps making embarrassing mistakes.

So generally speaking, no team will give up a central defender like David Luiz easily, but will pair him with a suitable partner to make up for his shortcomings.

Just like Bonucci and Chiellini at Juventus.

Yes, in the advanced plan, they want to pair Bonucci with David Luiz.

But now, sudden changes forced Gao Shen to advance his plan.

…

"David, I still remember that when you decided to sign for Naples, you called me and we chatted for a long time. You told me at that time that you wanted to fulfill your father's dream, is that right?"

After Gao Shen asked David Lewis to sit down, he spoke slowly.

"Yes, boss." David Luiz smiled and nodded. He has always been a very sunny boy.

"He was once a genius that countless people had high hopes for, but when he was 20 years old, he gave up football because of his family and became a middle school teacher. He taught me how to play football since I was a child."

David Luiz entered the Sao Paulo youth training camp at the age of nine. He had to change trains three times from home to the youth training camp, but he persisted.

When he was fourteen years old, Sao Paulo refused to sign him because of his small size, so he was forced to move to a low-level team in Vitoria, 2,000 kilometers away. Only then was he spotted by Gao Shen this summer.

[To be honest, I have been using Mimi recently to read and catch up on books, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]

"You know that Paul is going to be suspended, right?" Gao Shen asked.

"I know, boss." David Luiz was somewhat excited.

Although they have a good relationship, they are also competitors. Cannavaro Jr.'s suspension represents an opportunity for David Luiz.

Especially at this sensitive time, Gao Shen asked him to talk.

"Let me tell you directly, I want you to replace Paul in the starting lineup and partner with Bonucci."

Before Gao Shen finished speaking, David Luiz was already beaming with joy and said quickly: "Thank you, boss."

"Don't worry." Gao Shen smiled bitterly in his heart. This kid is always so irritable. "The coaching staff has doubts about you. You know, your performance is really not reassuring and you made a lot of mistakes."

Whether it's a warm-up match or training, David Luiz really makes a lot of mistakes.

Although Naples did not concede many goals, it was more because the opponent was not strong enough and failed to grasp it.

But the opponent in the next game is Juventus, and David Luiz has to face forwards of the level of Trezeguet, Sarayeta, Del Piero and Bodinov, so he must not be careless.

The Brazilian central defender's smile suddenly faded and he felt a little depressed. He knew what his problem was.

"I will pay attention, boss, trust me."

"I definitely believe you, David, otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way to talk to you." Gao Shen reassured, "But the coaching staff's concerns may not be unreasonable. I have to think about it comprehensively, because this is a single elimination match.

The opponent is Juventus."

David Luiz knows the importance of this game and knows the challenges of this game.

Never lose!

He was also a little panicked now, not knowing what Gao Shen meant.

"I made a promise to the coaching staff. I believe that you will never live up to our expectations in this game. You will not make mistakes or concede goals. I hope you will serve as the team's starting central defender."

When David Luiz heard this, he was excited.

As Gao Shen spoke, his mood was like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs. Now he was completely occupied by surprise, full of excitement and gratitude.

Thanks to Gao Shen!

"Thank you, boss!"

"Don't let me down, David!" Gao Shen said sincerely.

"I swear, boss, I will never let you down!" David Luiz stood up from his seat and solemnly promised.

Gao Shen stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

"You know, I am very, very optimistic about you, David. I think your dream can be realized. You will become one of the best central defenders in the world. I am also happy to continue to give you such opportunities..."

David Luiz was excited again, but Gao Shen didn't let him take over the conversation, but stretched out his hand to signal him to calm down.

"But," Gao Shen changed the topic, "I have to consider the whole team, the locker room, and the coaching staff, so you have to give your best, or even perform better than your best, so that I can convince others.

Give you more starting opportunities."

David Lewis kept nodding, he was completely convinced by Gao Shen.

He believes that Gao Shen really appreciates him, trusts him, and wants to reuse him!

Now he really has the urge to die for his confidant!

"When facing Juventus, show your best, or even better than your best performance, with zero mistakes, and I will let you start in the first round of Serie A!" Gao Shen did his best to incite.
