From coaching Real Madrid

"Boss, I think I can do it!"

The next morning, when Benatia came to the training center, the first thing he did was to go to Gao Shen's office, stand in front of him, and tell him solemnly the final answer he gave after deliberation all night.

He wants to give it a try!

Gao Shen was very happy. After encouraging him, he asked him to prepare for training.

After sending Benatia away, Gao Shen had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a very happy mood.

He knew that he had guessed correctly about this player.

Before time travel, when I was a fan, I always had the feeling that players from the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League were considered very inferior.

Actually it's not.

This is because fans have only paid attention to the results of the four major leagues for a long time, which can easily lead to this illusion. It seems that not playing in the four major leagues means it is impossible and bad. But in the real world, even if you only play in the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League, or even in the

Leagues like Switzerland and Austria are already very rare.

Anyone who can achieve results in these leagues is enough to be considered a successful person in world football.

Because, outside of this, there are countless leagues and teams that are not familiar to people and are like stepping stones.

Then, it is completely conceivable that if a player wants to stand out step by step in the various tests, and finally appear in the four major leagues, appear on the eleventh roster, and appear in front of live broadcast cameras around the world, that is

What a difficult thing?

Strength, luck, chance, will... all of these are indispensable.

And those who can become the top players in the four major leagues all have extremely strong will.

Just like Ronaldo, how many fans criticized him for being fat, criticizing him for not having self-discipline, criticizing him for squandering his talent...

But few people have thought that the reason why he is like this is because he has experienced pain that no one can imagine, and is going through painful torture that no one can understand.

Because he is Ronaldo, he is criticized by others. If it had been anyone else, he would have been finished early and would not even be qualified to be criticized.

There are also people like Ronaldinho who joined AC Milan this season.

It is true that he lacked self-discipline and was squandering his talents, but these were all things that happened after he became famous.

What about before that?

Gao Shen was very sure from the beginning that Benatia, after suffering a severe tear of his knee ligament and being without a ball for a year, was still able to perform so well in Serie A. He must have a strong ability.

Spiritual will, and a heart that refuses to admit defeat.

Now it seems that his guess was not wrong at all.

…

"I don't understand a little bit."

After watching Benatia leave, Zidane said strangely.

"Tell me about it." Gao Shen said with a faint smile.

He actually really enjoyed this feeling of answering Zidane's questions.

This is the future Qi Xuanzong!

Not to mention anything else, when Gao Shen retires in the future, he will publish an autobiography directly, which says: I think back then, when Zidane was still a rookie, he asked me such a question...

Thinking about it, I feel that Niubi is full of status in the world!

"I think he already had the answer yesterday, but why did you ask him to go back and think about it?" Zidane asked.

Gao Shen nodded.

Yesterday evening, Benatia was really excited by Gao Shen's words and could have given the answer on the spot, but Gao Shen did not do so and asked him to go back and think carefully.

It was only one night, but the difference was huge.

"Because what I really want is not that he promises me, or whether he can do it or do it well, but that I want him to think about this problem for himself and give me a definite answer after he thinks it through.

."

After a pause, Gao Shen continued: "It is easy for young people to get excited, but after being impulsive, they can easily fall into confusion, because they will find that the decisions they made in impulse have trapped them.

, leaving them overwhelmed.”

"I hope they can think carefully before making an answer, so that it is not an impulsive decision. Then when they make a decision, they will often find their own direction and not be confused."

"I'm very happy, Zinedine. After careful consideration, he still feels that he can do it. This is what makes me most satisfied. And you can take another look at how he will behave in the next few days.

Work harder than anyone else."

After saying that, Gao Shen smiled at Zidane with a very enigmatic expression.

Zidane was confused, but had an unclear feeling.

"Let's go, we have to prepare well for the targeted training against Inter Milan."

…

Benatia really worked harder in the subsequent training.

Especially in the team's targeted tactical training, Gao Shen specially arranged for him to partner with Cannavaro Jr.

The two have played together many times in warm-up matches, but they are not particularly familiar with each other and have a tacit understanding.

In the division of labor, Benatia is responsible for attacking, and Cannavaro is responsible for holding back and assisting in defense. This requires the two people to maintain consistent coordination and establish sufficient tacit understanding.

Fortunately, Benatia learned Italian well and could communicate and shout with little Cannavaro smoothly.

When arranging targeted training, the coaching staff also intends to cultivate a tacit understanding between the two central defenders and strengthen their communication and collaboration.

In addition, Gao Shen also attaches great importance to the psychological construction of players.

If, last season, the strong rise of Bonucci and David Luiz made Cannavaro suddenly drop from the original main central defender to the third central defender, then after Benatia joined, Italy

The third central defender was also challenged.

Gao Shen specifically talked about this with little Cannavaro, and at the same time he heard that little Cannavaro was still a little depressed.

Having played so many games on the court, Cannavaro has no reason not to know the strength of Benatia, and he is also self-aware of his own strength, especially after being overpowered by Bonucci and David Luiz.

After one head.

Now, even a kid who has just arrived has to climb on top of him. One can imagine how little Cannavaro feels.

Gao Shen is actually quite familiar with this kind of thing.

When he was working in a company, he often encountered old employees in similar situations.

The situation of Cannavaro Jr. is not the so-called salty fish, but that after Naples' rapid development, his personal ability and progress could not keep up with the team's pace, and then he was in competition with Bonucci and David Luiz.

Lose advantage.

But his personal will is still very strong.

Everyone knows that employees with low abilities but strong intentions should definitely be focused on and supported.

Gao Shen has always done this. He encouraged Cannavaro to bravely step out of his comfort zone, change his playing style, and improve his abilities. At the same time, he also allowed him to start taking on more work of older employees and improve his skills.

Sense of responsibility.

For example, this season, Gao Shen asked him to lead Benatia and teach him some "experience" in playing in Serie A.

While teaching others, it is also a kind of self-improvement.

Many companies like to give old employees various privileges, euphemistically saying that they worked together in the past and how hard they worked, but this approach is not advisable.

Gao Shen has seen this kind of split pattern many times in his previous life, where old employees and new employees are incompatible, which makes the company's management impossible to maintain, thus affecting the efficiency of the entire company.

The same goes for the team's locker room.

Therefore, Gao Shen firmly stated that no matter what the circumstances, all players will be treated equally.

Want to play?

Yes, show your best performance and prove that you are worthy of this starting position.

Now, he still has the same promise to Cannavaro.

As long as he is in good condition and performs well, Gao Shen will still let him start.

"Paul, in this game against Inter Milan, our defense depends on you!" Gao Shen patted Cannavaro on the shoulder and explained with sincerity.

Little Cannavaro was not young at all, he was already twenty-seven years old, but he was still quite moved by what he heard and nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, I will never disappoint you!"

Gao Shen had an expression that said, "I trust you very much," and kept nodding.

When others saw it, they never imagined that the two of them were actually only one year apart.

…

After three days of preparation, Naples is about to head north to Milan.

Before departure, Gao Shen attended the pre-match press conference and announced the squad for the trip north to Milan.

In an interview with the media, Gao Shen said that there is no doubt that Inter Milan is still the strongest team in Serie A today.

"I have never felt that there is anything special about being a defending champion team, because these are the results of last season and have passed. Like all teams, we are starting from scratch this season.

Any advantage."

"In fact, this title is more of a pressure for us, which requires all of us to do better, because the title of defending champion will not create any problems for our opponents at all."

Gao Shen also doesn’t think that last season’s failure to score anything will have any impact on Inter Milan this season.

"Mourinho is a great head coach, there is no doubt about it. I have watched his games from a very early stage and learned a lot from him. He is a respectable head coach, and I am not

I don’t think he is as conservative as the outside world reports, and he has also played a lot of wonderful offensive football.”

Gao Shen said that Inter Milan has made up for its biggest shortcomings this season.

There is some connotation of Mancini's meaning here, and the profoundness is not hidden at all.

"With Inter Milan's strength advantage and a championship coach like Mourinho, I have no doubt that Inter Milan is the most competitive team in Serie A this season and even in the Champions League."

Regarding this Italian Super Cup, Gao Shen said that Naples has been affected by the absence of many players. When visiting Meazza, his first priority is how to bring out the highest level of the team.

As for the result of the competition, Gao Shen said that he was very confident of winning.

But after all the previous boasts, the final confidence seemed a bit feeble.

All the media reporters present at the meeting were puzzled.

Is Gao Shen showing weakness?

Could it be said that when Gao Shen, a little troll, met Mourinho, a big troll, he immediately withered away before the game even started?
