From coaching Real Madrid

Gao Shen's war with the Italian media did not affect Naples' preparations for the game.

After playing in Roma, Gao Shen and his coaching staff have been intensively preparing for the game against Juventus.

In the previous two strong dialogues, Naples was away from home, but this time it was at home.

You have to make good use of your home court advantage.

Gao Shen found the club's general manager Marino before the game and had a good talk with him about the matter.

"Juventus will have about two thousand fans coming to the away game. As usual, we will arrange them in the most remote and edge corner. This is the regular operation of the home team." Marino said.

All fans who go with the team to away games, unless the home attendance is low, will definitely be placed in the worst area, especially when they come to a stadium with the highest attendance like Naples.

Even, to a certain extent, I would be grateful if I could arrange some game tickets for you.

"What about Ranieri?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.

Marino was stunned and immediately realized, didn't Ranieri get a red card in the last home game against Genoa?

According to the rules, he will definitely not be able to sit on the coaching bench in this game...

This is actually a tragedy.

At that time, Juventus was already leading 1-0. Three minutes before the end of the game, Nedvěd elbowed Genoa player Konco and was sent off with a red card. Ranieri was very dissatisfied and directly attacked the referee on duty.

Di.

The tinker is also under a lot of pressure. After all, he will face Naples in a week. Losing Nedvěd will still be a big blow to Juventus.

The referee Bandy was also furious.

Nedvěd's elbow happened right under his nose. Is there a problem?

Are you Ranieri still angry at me?

So, he directly gave another red card, sent Ranieri out, and found a partner for Nedvěd.

"As usual, what arrangements will be made?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.

If you can't take advantage of this at your home stadium, is it still your home stadium?

"Accompanied and supervised by Italian Football Association officials, he can enter the locker room before the game, halftime and after the game, but he cannot enter the stadium, so he usually conducts remote control from the stands," Marino analyzed.

This number is very familiar to me.

It's not that he has experienced it, but he has seen the news a lot in his previous life. For example, Mourinho, this guy was often sent to the stands, and he has many tricks to control the game remotely.

"Can I bring my mobile phone?" Gao Shen asked.

"That's definitely not possible." Marino shook his head, "You brought a mobile phone and you just made a call for forty-five minutes, so why should you be punished?"

"Arrange for someone to deliver the note?" Gao Shen asked again.

Marino thought for a while, "It's possible, but it requires help."

As soon as he finished speaking, when he saw Gao Shen raising his eyebrows, Marino immediately laughed tacitly.

"Understood, I will arrange it."

"I think Mr. Ranieri is a highly respected coach in Italian football, no, in the entire European football world. It is rare for him to come to our Sao Paulo Stadium, so he must be treated well and have special arrangements.

Bar?"

"That's for sure." Marino knew what Gao Shen said and immediately took over Gao Shen's words, "Don't worry, I will make good arrangements and let Mr. Ranieri enjoy the special one-stop service of an unprecedented five-star stadium."

Gao Shen secretly screamed in his heart, "Fuck", this bald man has recently become enlightened.

have a future!

The two of them got together again and muttered quietly for a while, and finally started laughing maliciously.

If there are outsiders here at this time, they will definitely call the police and arrest these two guys.

Say, are you two plotting to arrange a terrorist attack?

In the following days, Naples was preparing for the game in an orderly manner.

With a week of ample time to prepare for the game, Gao Shen also asked the team to adjust, because after playing Juventus, the tenth round of Serie A will be in the middle of the next week, and the schedule pressure has begun to increase again.

Moreover, Juventus, like Naples, competes domestically in Serie A and has no European competitions.

In this way, both sides will recharge their batteries.

Juventus' problems will be slightly bigger, mainly because head coach Ranieri and Nedvěd have accumulated red cards and are absent, and midfielder Zanetti is also injured, which will affect Juventus' midfield to some extent.

Zanetti was a player who performed well when he was at Inter Milan. After coming to Juventus, he became a general that Ranieri relied on. If he fails to catch up with this game, the impact on Juventus will be quite big.

Although Tinker is said to be the Italian head coach, he has actually left Serie A for ten years.

After coaching Fiorentina in 1997 and then coaching Valencia, he has never returned to Italy.

He successively coached Valencia and Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Chelsea in the Premier League, and returned to coach Valencia in 2004.

After graduating from Valencia in 2005, he was idle at home and made a living by writing columns for British newspapers.

At the same time, it is also a good way to recharge your batteries.

Last season, Parma's performance was a mess. After coach Pioli was fired by Gao Shen and lost his position, his replacement was Ranieri. He also led Parma to rebound strongly and was able to coach Juventus this season.

Few people know that before Ranieri coached Juventus, Juventus general manager Blanco actually called Gao Shen, but Gao Shen made it clear that he would not coach Juventus, so Ranieri

The chance to take charge of the Bianconeri.

Naturally, this past incident was dug up by media reporters before the game.

It can be said that the grievances between the two teams make this game not only a duel between the two powerful teams from the north and the south, but also a personal feud between the two teams and a battle to clear Ranieri's reputation.

At least, he needs to use one game to prove that he is not inferior to Gao Shen.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Ranieri flew into a rage out of control after Nedved was sent off in the game against Genoa, and instead got himself sent off.

On the morning when the team set off south to Naples, sporting director Alessio Secco came to the training base.

Nominally, the purpose of his trip was to cheer for the team's away trip, but in fact, he came to head coach Ranieri, who was very concerned about the lineup for the away game against Naples.

Nedvěd is suspended due to red card and Zanetti is recovering from injury. How does Ranieri plan to arrange his troops?

"You know, Claudio, this summer we are one of the teams with the biggest recruitment drive in European football."

Secco talked freely in front of Ranieri.

"We have introduced many high-level players who have performed very well in other teams, such as Thiago and Iaquinta.

Almiron, Nocerino, etc. Unfortunately, Andrade was injured in the game against Roma and missed the season.

But I believe that other players can and should play a more important role in the team, what do you think?"

Ranieri has coached so many teams and experienced so many bosses and bosses, but he couldn't understand what Secco meant.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Seko's signing has been questioned.

Andrade performed the best among all the signings, but he only played four games, no, strictly speaking, three and a half games before he was seriously injured.

Iaquinta shined in the first round, but then it was difficult to get another chance. Trezeguet and Del Piero performed well, which made it difficult for Iaquinta to get a chance to play.

Ranieri once wanted to try using Iaquinta, Del Piero and Trezeguet as a front three, but after trying it, he found that the midfield became very weak and quickly gave up this tempting idea.

But in this way, it will be difficult for Iaquinta to compete with Trezeguet and Del Piero, two of them who are very good and have experienced Serie B stars with the team.

The two midfielders Thiago and Almiron were unable to play the main role. On the contrary, Nocerino, who transferred from Piacenza in Serie B, performed well and was even selected for the Italian national team.

This summer, Secco spent 55 million euros, ranking ninth in European football and first in Serie A. However, from the perspective of the transfer effect, at least at the current stage, it is not very ideal. It can even be said that,

Very unsatisfactory.

This also puts the sports director under pressure.

After all, the current situation of Juventus and the Fiat consortium behind the team is not very ideal. They invested huge sums of money but failed to receive corresponding returns and improvements, which made it difficult for Secco to make a deal.

"I think we should give the new players more opportunities to play and help them integrate into our team, what do you think?"

Seko asked.

He said he was asking, but in fact, his tone contained a commanding tone.

Ranieri knew clearly what was going on, and he nodded solemnly, "I will try my best to arrange it."

"Well, if you say that, I feel relieved." Seko said with a smile.

After a pause, he thought of something else, "So far this season, we have performed very well. We are currently ranked third in Serie A. We are very satisfied, including the last three rounds."

Secco snorted twice, "There seems to be something wrong with our offense. You still have to think of a solution. Naples has been our pain since last season. We didn't win against this team last season.

Whether it's me, the management, the fans, or even the gentlemen above, they all look forward to us being able to wash away the decline of last season."

"You know, we are the top giants in Serie A, so I hope that in Naples, you and the team can show the strength and performance that a top giant should have. I believe you can do it, come on!"

Ranieri smiled wryly and nodded.

Having said all that, what else could he say?

"By the way, Mr. Secco, about the arrangements for the scene, especially the delivery of the news," Ranieri asked.

This is the key point of this game.

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements with someone. I will ask people from the Football Association to try their best to mediate. There will be someone on site to help you deliver the news. Just communicate with your assistant and there will be no problem." Seko

Guaranteed with certainty.

Ranieri breathed a sigh of relief.

In an away game against Naples, if the head coach is not directing from the sidelines, the impact will still be huge.

After all, things change rapidly on the football field.
