From coaching Real Madrid

Sun Tzu said in The Art of War: The disease caused by the surge of water can cause the rocks to drift away; the disease caused by the birds of prey can cause damage to the enemy by force.

This means that the reason why fast flowing water can float large rocks is because it generates huge impact potential; the reason why a raptor can kill a bird in one fell swoop is because it has mastered the most conducive power to explode the impact.

timing.

There is a final sentence in this article [Military Strength Fifth]: Therefore, the strength of a person who is good at fighting is like turning a boulder on a mountain of thousands of feet.

It means: The momentum created by those who are good at commanding and fighting is like making a boulder roll down a very high and steep mountain.

This is what is called potential!

It’s not just in Sun Tzu’s Art of War.

There is a saying in [Mencius Gongsun Chou Part 1]: Even if you have wisdom, it is better to take advantage of the situation; even if you have a foundation, it is better to wait for the time.

This means: Although you have great wisdom, you must be good at observing the general trend; even if you have a hoe, you must wait patiently for the right time.

Not only did the ancients say this, but later Mr. Lei, the master of ghost animals, said a very famous saying: Standing in the wind, even a pig can fly.

Gao Shen finally understood why Wu Qingfeng was so popular.

…

As his coaching experience becomes increasingly rich, Gao Shen is increasingly able to understand why football is sought after by so many people and is regarded as the number one sport in the world and is known as a war without gunpowder.

As small as a game, as large as a season, or as large as a team, in fact, they all pay attention to a "power".

From the small momentum of one game, it slowly accumulates and converges into the general trend of a season, and then the momentum of each season converges into a larger trend that can last for many years for a team.

In this process, although there will be some stumbles and even some obstacles, overall, the potential will remain unchanged and the overall trend of the team will not change much.

This is like a real society.

In the world we live in, everything from an individual to a family, a company, a city, or even a country all have so-called "powers".

In this long process, there are always some [potentials] that play a key role.

For example, Naples played an away game against Inter Milan.

…

At the post-match press conference, Inter Milan head coach Mourinho said: "I have to congratulate Naples because they defeated the strongest team in Serie A. They took the initiative on the road to winning the championship!"

Although later, Mourinho also said that Inter Milan has not given up yet, as long as the team performs better, I believe there will be a chance to reverse the situation, overtake Naples, and regain the top spot.

Because the league is not halfway through yet, it is too early to talk about winning the championship.

But having Mourinho say this is enough to prove that after Naples won this game, it was a painful blow to Mourinho and Inter Milan.

Gao Shen also said at the post-match press conference that this game is an important node, and winning against Inter Milan will make Naples more confident.

"It fully proves that the rotation system we have adhered to from the beginning of the season to the present, the tactical strategies adopted, and the efforts and sweat put in by all of us are all worth it!"

Gao Shen made it clear that Naples' defeat of Inter Milan does not mean they have won the championship. This is still too far.

"But through this game, we all know our abilities more clearly. We know clearly what we can do and what we aspire to do. This is more important than anything else."

Napoli wants to win the championship now!

Serie A champion!

Champion of the Italian Cup!

Even the Champions League champion!

This battle expanded Napoli's lead in the Serie A standings to five points. This is not a big gap, but the key point is that the momentum of the two sides is completely different.

Naples is now full of morale and unstoppable, while Inter Milan has suffered consecutive defeats at the hands of Naples, and its morale has been greatly damaged. This may not be obvious in the short term, but once it comes to the critical moment of competing for the championship, Inter Milan

It will definitely be affected.

…

Not just the head coaches of both sides.

On the next day of the game, all major Italian media were rushing to praise Naples' performance.

The ball possession rate in the entire game was close to 70%, and the number of shots was four times that of Inter Milan. However, in the end, only one goal was scored, and it was scored at the finale of the game. This was definitely a test match.

It was a contest of strength, willpower and fighting spirit between the two sides, and Naples won!

Gazzetta dello Sport said, "From this game, it is not difficult for us to see that Naples is the most champion team in Serie A so far this season. A sophisticated team is like a born king!"

Roma La Repubblica said, "Although they only scored one goal in the game, and it was scored in stoppage time, Naples' performance was convincing in both the process and the result. They are the strongest team to win the Serie A championship this season."

Contender."

Even Turin Sports Newspaper, which has always been at odds with Naples, publicly supported Naples this time, believing that this team from the south is very likely to win the Serie A championship again, which will be the first time in the history of Italian football.

Since the birth of the first Serie A champion Genoa in 1898, Serie A has experienced more than a hundred years of history. During this more than a hundred years of history, many southern champions have been born, such as Roma, Lazio, and Naples.

, among which Napoli won the championship in 1987 and 1990.

The Roma duo won the Serie A championship in 2000 and 2001.

But no southern team has ever been able to successfully win the Serie A championship.

Even the Naples team with Maradona couldn't do it.

But now, Gao Shen's Naples is hailed as the top favorite to win the championship again. This is not only an affirmation of Naples, but also an affirmation of Gao Shen.

After Naples defeated Inter Milan 1-0 in an away game, the three major European bookmakers changed their odds at the same time. Naples overtook Inter Milan with a slight advantage and became the favorite to win the championship.

This is the first time!

…

It can be said that after defeating Inter Milan in an away game, in just one night, the entire public opinion, and even the momentum of the entire Serie A league, was completely turned upside down by Naples, as if everyone and everything were on Naples' side.

The whole momentum has become completely different.

Gao Shen can clearly feel this change. He himself is proud of the team's performance, but at the same time, he keeps telling himself and his players that the more times like this, the more calm they need to be.

Pigs standing on the wind can fly because the wind has picked up, but what happens once the wind stops?

A pig that cannot fly is still a pig.

If you want to fly, you have to grow your own wings!

Therefore, the day after Gao Shen finished playing for Inter Milan, he held a special all-hands meeting and warned everyone very seriously and sternly that if they cannot concentrate on the game and training, if they cannot give 100% concentration and

If you invest, he will disqualify this person from the competition without hesitation.

No matter who he is!

Of course, behind the stern warning, Gao Shen, as always, praised the players and also made a big deal. It was nothing more than that the team has a good momentum now and it is entirely possible to win the championship again and even have a chance to compete in the Champions League.

Yunyun.

All in all, in one sentence, carrot and stick, yes!

…………

…………

After playing against Inter Milan, Naples finally got a chance to breathe and got a week of rest.

Gao Shen gave the entire team two days off in one breath.

Of course, in order to maintain the status, the two days of vacation were staggered, but this did not affect Naples at all.

A week later, Naples welcomed Siena at home.

At the San Paolo Stadium, Thiago Motta opened the scoring for Napoli in just seven minutes.

Before the end of the first half, Cavani scored another victory, 2-0.

After changing sides in the second half, Sanchez, Cavani and substitute Mertens scored consecutively.

In the end, Naples defeated Siena 5-1 at home.

It is worth mentioning that the Siena forward who visited the Sao Paulo Stadium is Emmanuel Caraio.

Yes, when Gao Shen first coached Naples, he was the team's top scorer in Serie C, but he soon transferred to Siena for more than 3 million euros. He was at the Stadio San Paolo in this game.

Although Siena scored a goal, this goal had nothing to do with Karaio.

After the game, Karaio also met with Gao Shen and also talked for a while with the old captain Montevino and Jezzo.

But he soon discovered to his dismay that Naples fans seemed to have forgotten about him.

No wonder.

When he was there, Naples was just a Serie C team and a newly promoted team from Serie B. With a worth of more than 3 million, he was already considered the top star in the team, so he resolutely chose to leave the team after being coached by Gao Shen.

Even at that time, he had some resentment in his heart. He wanted to make Gao Shen and Naples regret.

But now, he discovered that the clown was actually himself.

His departure did not have any impact on Naples. In fact, Naples used the money to sell him in exchange for more powerful players. With this group of players, Naples counterattacked all the way from the Serie B championship to Serie A.

From the championship to the dark horse of the Champions League this season, it can be said that it is one step at a time.

Nowadays, Naples cannot be said to be a strong team in the Champions League, but at least it can be regarded as a well-known team in Europe. Many players in the team have received the attention and favor of many wealthy teams.

But what about Takalayo?

Leaving Naples in Serie B and switching to Siena in Serie A, he suddenly felt like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. But two years later, he found that he was still the same carp and could not change into a dragon. He was even not as good as before.

At this moment, standing at the Sao Paulo Stadium, Karaio couldn't help but feel regret.

He couldn't help but wonder, if he had not left Naples, would his career have changed with this team?

At the worst, can he win some championship trophies like Cannavaro Jr., Montevino and Jezzo?
