From coaching Real Madrid

On the evening of October 29th, the ninth round of Serie A.

It had just rained heavily, and the humidity in the stadium was off the charts. It was like being thrown out of a drum washing machine. There was water everywhere.

The slippery surface brought difficulties to both sides.

But Gao Shen temporarily changed his tactics before the game and asked the team to play more concisely and directly.

Reggina, who was playing away from home, seemed a little uncomfortable at the beginning, especially under Naples' high pressure. He was in a very awkward situation and made frequent mistakes.

In just seven minutes, Cavani and Hamsik played a one-two against the wall at the front of the penalty area, then broke through Reggina's central defender in the penalty area and hit the goal, opening the scoring for Naples.

Nine minutes later, with the attack from the left, Di Maria broke through and passed diagonally behind him. Hamsik succeeded in countering offside. After getting the ball, he formed a single goal, attracted Reggina's goalkeeper, and passed the ball across to the goalkeeper.

Cavani unguarded.

The Uruguayan center easily pushed the shot into the empty goal, 2-0!

Scored twice!

Cavani looked extremely excited.

Eight minutes later, Regina counterattacked, but after being successfully intercepted by Biglia at the front of his own 30-meter area, he sent a long pass to the front.

Cavani grabbed the first spot, stopped the ball with his chest, and moved the ball to the right. Sanchez assisted Hamsik to score a goal.

Three to zero!

The first half is only halfway through, and Napoli is already leading by three goals!

Subsequently, Reggina defended tightly, while Naples played steadily.

After changing sides in the second half, another quick counterattack from Naples occurred in the 63rd minute.

Vargas came in at high speed from the left, received Di Maria's pass, and made a pass to the front point.

Cavani easily pushed the ball six meters in front of the goal and scored a hat trick!

Four to zero!

This score remained until the end of the half.

After returning to the top of Serie A, Napoli defeated Reggina at home and retained their position with a big victory.

…

Napoli beat Reggina 4-0 at home.

Juventus defeated Bologna 2-1 away from home.

Lazio defeated Chievo 2-1 away from home.

AC Milan defeated Siena 2-1 at home.

Roma defeated Sampdoria 2-0 at home.

Inter Milan……

Well... they drew with Fiorentina 0-0 away from home.

Yes, you read that right, Inter Milan tied with Fiorentina.

In this round of Serie A competition, all the strong teams won, except Inter Milan.

Mourinho is paying for his troubling behavior last weekend.

Cruz and Adriano were banned before the game, which caused a chain reaction in the Inter Milan locker room.

Even Moratti had to come forward to appease the players, but the Inter Milan president still expressed his trust and support for Mourinho.

But on the court, Mourinho's team failed to come up with an effective solution when faced with Fiorentina, which was short of major generals.

Both Gilardino and Mutu were injured and absent, but Prandelli adopted a fast-paced style of play in the absence of offensive players, leaving Inter Milan at a loss.

In the first half, Inter Milan had the advantage, but they created opportunities but failed to score.

Ibrahimovic is in a very sluggish state, and the same is basically true for other players.

Prandelli even accused the referee of favoring Inter Milan after the game because Burdisso pulled Pacini in the penalty area during a defense in the first half. This was supposed to be a penalty kick and a red card, but it was

The Argentine had a lucky escape.

In the second half, Inter Milan was passive across the board.

Prandelli saw through Inter Milan's current sluggish state, coupled with the team's low morale, Fiorentina decisively took the initiative, making Inter Milan very passive, and it was even difficult to launch a threatening counterattack.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and made a draw at zero to zero.

With this draw, Mourinho's team is four points behind Napoli.

In response, Mourinho said in an interview with the media after the game that he is still confident in what he is doing.

"The current data is not important. The championship trophy is awarded to the team that is still leading after the 38th round."

The implication is: I will definitely come back!

…

The draw between Inter Milan made Gao Shen breathe a sigh of relief.

A four-point lead gave him more room to move.

If Inter Milan continues to press Napoli, the pressure on Gao Shen will be very high.

But that's different now.

With four points in hand, he had a chance to breathe.

"This season, the competition in Serie A is really fierce." Gao Shen said with emotion.

Naples is now ranked first with 25 points, but it has just begun and nothing can be said yet.

Followed closely by Inter Milan's 21 points.

Further down, Udinese is in third place with 20 points, and Catania is in ninth place with 15 points.

What concept?

Starting from Inter Milan in second place to Catania in ninth place, there are six points, a total of eight teams.

The Giallorossi Roma played fairly well in the Champions League and were able to compete with Chelsea. However, they only ranked 13th in Serie A.

Mazzarri's Sampdoria shined last season, but are only ranked 16th this season, just two points away from last place Reggina.

In fact, counting from Reggina in 20th place to Lecce in 12th place, the difference between the nine teams is only five points. The relegation situation is really very serious.

"There is a very obvious trend in Serie A this season. The strength of the top teams is declining. Whether it is Roma, AC Milan, Juventus, or even Inter Milan, serious problems have arisen."

Roma's problem is the most serious. In order to clean up the team's style, Spalletti took very rough measures, such as requiring all players to live in the training base and leaving only one hour every night to let them go and spend time with their families.

Meet.

The players all joked to themselves that they felt like they were in prison, and that hour was their break time.

Rosella Sensi even met with Spalletti before the game. No one knows what was discussed specifically.

Fortunately, Spalletti's team defeated Sampdoria 2-0 and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Juventus still has an old problem, Ranieri and Capana have caused a lot of injured soldiers, and it has not yet recovered.

AC Milan is considered the most stable among the strong teams, but whether it is Kaká, Ronaldinho or others, they are obviously not as good as before.

how to say?

AC Milan now has a lot of stars, and there are worthy stars in every position. Famous players such as Emerson, Inzaghi, Pato, and Flamini all have to compete for positions.

But I just can't play with that much energy.

After all, I am still too old.

But as time goes by, Ancelotti, the old fox, never shows mercy in key matches.

As for Inter Milan, this is purely Mourinho's own suicide.

God knows why he wanted to make enemies in the locker room? Get himself into so much trouble?

Gao Shen could vaguely guess that he wanted to clean up the locker room.

To put it simply, it's like washing powder.

Screen out those that suit your taste and can be used by you.

But this will also bring great risks, that is, if it fails, Inter Milan may not be able to play.

At that point, Mourinho will be out of luck.

However, Gao Shen didn't have time to pay attention to other people's affairs, because he himself had a lot of troubles.

The disaster of annihilation has been temporarily alleviated with Handanovic's gradual recovery, but the pressure brought by two-front operations is still great, especially in the Champions League.

Gao Shen and the coaching staff are carefully calculating the current situation, especially in the Champions League group stage.

Finally, Gao Shen made a prompt decision.

"In the game against AC Milan, we will still rotate!"

Zidane, Carlo and Lucas can all feel the difficulty of this decision.

But they all feel that this should be the best choice at the moment.

"I'm going to give Ancelotti a gift over the weekend, but whether he can handle it or not depends on his ability!"

With a four-point lead, Gao Shen felt more confident.

November 2, San Siro Stadium, Milan.

In the tenth round of Serie A, Naples challenged AC Milan away.

As soon as the game started, the away team took the lead, taking the game directly into the high-speed lane, and the rhythm was soaring.

AC Milan was not used to such a fast-paced style of play, especially under Naples' almost crazy high-position pressing, which left the Rossoneri at a loss as to what to do and the scene looked a bit embarrassing.

In the 21st minute, Benatia sent a long pass near the midline and accurately found Pellet in front.

The Italian center overwhelmed Bonera, headed the ball down and passed it to Hamsik nearby.

The Slovak youngster stopped the ball and fired an angry shot straight towards the goal.

Goalkeeper Abbiati made a flying save and saved Hamsik's shot, but Callejon grabbed the spot on the right side of the penalty area. After stopping the ball, he immediately shot back and scored again.

Abbiati had no choice this time, but Favalli in front of the goal blocked the ball.

The ball still didn't fly far and landed on the left side of the penalty area.

Mertens appeared in a dangerous position like a ghost. After stopping the ball, he took a curve ball and hit the upper right corner of the goal, helping Naples take the lead 1-0!

…

After taking the lead, AC Milan began to patiently stabilize the rhythm, especially Ronaldinho and Kaká, who began to play to the level of top superstars and constantly created opportunities through their personal abilities.

Among them, Ronaldinho's forced breakthrough resulted in Macho's yellow card.

And in the 44th minute, it was the Brazilian who broke through with the ball and caused Maggio's foul. The Napoli right back received a second yellow card and was directly sent off with a red card.

After changing sides in the second half, Gao Shen immediately turned to defensive counterattack.

With one more player than their opponents, AC Milan continued to plan and organize attacks, but they were unable to defeat Naples.

Until the 86th minute, AC Milan, which had missed countless opportunities, relied on Ronaldinho to pass Kaka from the left. When the Brazilian stopped the ball and hit the goal, his shot hit Nainggo.

Lan's hand was awarded a penalty kick by the referee.

Kaka personally took the penalty shot, which equalized the score for AC Milan.

One to one!

Both sides shook hands and made peace.

But at the end of the game, Gao Shen, instead of feeling disappointed, was smiling from ear to ear.

When he saw Ancelotti, the first thing he said was: "It's not that I didn't give you a chance, it's that I gave you the chance and you couldn't seize it!"

Ancelotti's heart mmp: Opportunity? Do I still have a chance?
