From coaching Real Madrid

After the mobilization, Gao Shen was satisfied with the players' response.

At least judging from the looks on the players' faces and the feedback they gave, the advanced feeling is still very effective.

Carlo followed Gao Shen, Zidane and Lucas back to the head coach's office. After everyone sat down, the Spanish middle-aged man finally couldn't help himself and asked.

"Gao, are you really confident about the Champions League group stage?" Carlo looked concerned.

Gao Shen looked at Zidane, then at Lucas, and all three of them laughed in unison.

Carlo is a good man and an honest man.

Gao Shen already knew this when he was coaching Real Madrid.

Over the past few years, Gao Shen has changed a lot, and so has Lucas, but Carlo has not changed at all.

But it is precisely because he has not changed that his current relationship with Gao Shen has gradually declined from the original teacher and student, to the later cooperation, to the current subordinate. It can be said that it has declined step by step.

This is not to say that Carlo is not important in the senior coaching staff.

No, on the contrary, Gao Shen has always felt that it is necessary to have a character like Carlo in his team. Otherwise, he seriously doubts that his team will lose control.

Because he himself is a person who often comes up with some radical ideas.

Carlo is the kind of person who is very honest and serious, and he dares to speak frankly to Gao Shen. This is the most valuable thing and what Gao Shen values ​​the most.

In addition, he is really cautious and meticulous in doing things, so Gao Shen uses him to take charge of training, which can be regarded as making the best use of his talents.

"Frankly speaking, if the whole team works hard, it will be 50-50," Gao Shen said calmly.

50/50?

Carlo was a little surprised, "Then you just..."

Gao Shen smiled bitterly, "I have to say this, I must unify all my thoughts."

Many people feel that bosses and leaders like to draw pictures.

But is this a bad thing?

The answer is, not necessarily.

To manage a team well, you definitely need to set a goal. As a leader, you must explain clearly why you set this goal? How to achieve it? What will it bring to the team after it is achieved?

Is this just painting a cake?

A team without goals is like a person without direction and unable to accomplish anything.

Therefore, pie painting is a basic skill that all leaders must possess.

A leader who cannot draw a picture is not a good leader.

Of course, malicious drawing is not worth advocating.

Standing in Naples, the players are obviously experiencing emotional fluctuations. Gao Shen must act as soon as possible to nip the potential crisis in the bud. Otherwise, what will happen next?

50-50 is a profound and objective analysis.

Not only him, Zidane and Lucas also basically agree.

Naples' biggest problem is their lack of experience and their players are too young.

Sacchi mentioned in his column that Gao Shen must try his best to play three home games, but in fact it was not out of the blue.

Away games, especially such long-distance away games, are a great test for players, especially their experience.

To give the simplest example, go to St. Petersburg, Russia, to play against Zenit at the end of October.

The temperature in Naples, Italy is about 20 degrees. How about St. Petersburg?

Zero degrees!

How much work does it take to go from 20 degrees to zero overnight?

The club must cooperate, the coaching staff must prepare, and the players must make adjustments on their own.

There's still a way to go.

The journey from Naples to St. Petersburg is more than 2,000 kilometers, and the flight alone takes more than three hours. This does not include the long journey before takeoff and after landing, which are the most demanding for the players.

When dealing with this kind of thing, there is a huge difference between experienced players and inexperienced rookies.

This is why Gao Shen tried his best to recruit Zidane to his coaching staff before the season.

The French superstar has been playing football for many years. He has extremely rich game experience. He is able to deal with various emergencies in the Champions League and various off-field situations with ease, and provides some valuable reference opinions to the players.

After drawing Real Madrid, Bayern and Zenit, the club has started to operate. Lucas' analysis team is also preparing intensively. Zidane and Carlo are also preparing for the first game of the group stage and the guest game at the Bernabeu.

Make preparations, especially some precautions.

…

"Juan, you are just too honest, that's why you lost your leadership position to him in the first place."

Lucas acted like an old buddy, laughing and teasing Carlo.

Two or three years have passed, and Carlo has long since emerged from the shadow of Real Madrid's coaching change. He has even taken the initiative to make jokes about it, so people like Lucas often joke about it with Carlo.

This is enough to prove that Carlo is really convinced by Gao Shen.

Carlo smiled awkwardly. He knew that the fact that Gao Shen lost his Real Madrid coaching position was destined to become a dark history for him.

"I'm just worried that if I talk too much, it won't be smooth when the time comes," Carlo reminded.

"What's wrong with it?" Lucas asked with a smile.

"If the team plays well, it proves that Gao is right. If the team doesn't play well, then we have to find ways to solve the problem. Besides, if you really want to be round, are you afraid that you can't find an excuse? Whenever you lose, you can't find any excuses."

To the person responsible?"

What Lucas said really got to the core.

In fact, not everything in this world is right or wrong.

Just like a defense in a football game, is it an offense? Or a defense?

When a goal is conceded, is it a problem with the goalkeeper? Or is it a problem with the defender? Or is it a problem with the entire team?

When a player's performance is sluggish, is it because he is not in good condition? Or is it because the player he is facing is performing well? Or is it because the opponent's head coach is suppressing him tactically?

It is reported that Ibrahimovic once questioned Mancini's tactics because he did not receive strong support from his teammates in the game against Naples.

So the question is, is this a tactical problem with Mancini? Is it a problem with the players' cooperation? Or is it Ibrahimovic's own problem?

In fact, this is a confusing account where the public says the public is right and the mother-in-law says the mother-in-law is right.

When that time comes, basically no one will have the spare time to talk about these things, otherwise, this person will not be able to survive in the team.

"Fernando is right, the most important thing for us right now is to unify our minds."

When he said this, Gao Shen couldn't help but look at Carlo deeply, "Although there is a suspicion of painting a pie in the sky, there is one thing I said rightly. As long as we can stand out from this super death group this season, I have confidence.

One step further in the knockout rounds of the Champions League."

"Even such a death group can't trap us. I don't believe that anyone else can stop us!"

Naples has a very obvious characteristic, which is very clear to the senior management and the coaching staff, and that is progress.

There are many young players, and the overall strength of the team has improved significantly.

For example, in the first game of this season, the Italian Super Cup against Inter Milan, Naples hardly gave Inter Milan any chance, and this reflected the rapid improvement of Naples' strength.

If it can really stand out from such a cruel group stage, Gao Shen has absolutely reason to believe that the team will become a blockbuster.

Besides, when it comes to the knockout rounds of the Champions League, what is the competition?

The strength of both sides is important, but the head coach's formation is also crucial, especially targeted tactics.

This is exactly what Gao Shen is good at.

Not to mention anything else, when you meet an opponent, you just need to enter the tactical library management before the game, read the opponent's head coach's book, and find out the opponent's tactical ideas and concepts, as well as some game ideas, when it comes to the real game.

Here, with Gao Shen's current level, he can completely suppress his opponents.

This is also the reason why Gao Shen wants to meet Ferguson.

The old Manchester United coach is famous for adapting to changes, and his use of troops has reached an extremely high level. Gao Shen wanted to give it a try, whether he could take advantage of him, whether he could score goals and win.

?

This is also a challenge he poses to himself.

It's a pity that we didn't meet Manchester United in the group stage.

"I still remember that in 2006, before I led the team to London to challenge Arsenal, I came to your house and said something to you."

Gao Shen suddenly asked.

Neither Zidane nor Lucas knew about this matter, and they were both curious and full of gossip.

Carlo also remembered, laughed, and nodded: "Of course I remember, you said that if you lose, you won't come back."

Zidane and Lucas were both surprised.

It turns out that Gao Shen really made such a big determination at the beginning.

"I had nothing at that time. I was a newbie here, so I was not afraid of anything because I had nothing to lose." Gao Shen also had a wry smile when he talked about his dark history.

"But now, I seem to be successful and have a lot, but I am still the same person as before. I am still not afraid of losing everything I have now, because I know that even if I lose it now, I will still be the same person."

I can get it back quickly!"

When he said this, the look on Gao Shen's face was really confident.

Carlo, Zidane and Lucas were all stunned.

They all had to admit that Gao Shen was becoming more and more handsome and handsome.

The confidence he has now is not something just anyone can possess.

He is not the fearless self-confidence of an ignorant person, but the restrained and mature one who has read thousands of sails.

"This will be my last season in Naples."

When Gao Shen said this, he suddenly felt a surge of pride and ambition.

"I don't think about anything anymore. I just want to know how far this team I have worked hard and spent two or three years building can achieve? What kind of achievements can it achieve?"

score?"

"But one thing I can be 100% sure of is that I believe that my team is definitely not only at the group stage level, I believe it can go further and stand higher!"

"So, I will definitely take it out of the group stage!"

"Because I want more fans and more people in the world to get to know this team and me again!"

"This is what I want to do most right now!"

When Gao Shen said this, his expression was extremely determined and he would not be swayed by anyone or anything.
