The war between Gao Shen and the Italian media did not affect Naples' preparations.
After playing in Rome, Gao Shen and the coaching staff were intensively preparing for the game against Juventus.
In the previous two strong dialogues, Naples were away, but this time it was at home.
The home court has to take advantage of the home court advantage.
Before the game, Gao Shen found Marino, the general manager of the club, and had a good talk with him about it.
"Juventus will have about 2,000 fans coming to the away game. As usual, we arrange them in the most remote and marginal corners. This is the normal operation of the home team." Marino said.
All the fans who accompany the team to the away game, unless the home attendance rate is low, must be arranged in the worst area, especially when they come to the stadium with the highest attendance rate in Naples.
Even, to a certain extent, can arrange some tickets for you, thank God.
"What about Ranieri?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.
Marino was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted. Didn't Ranieri get a red card in the last round of home games against Genoa?
According to the rules, he will definitely not be able to sit on the coach's 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, Nedved elbowed the Genoa player Conco and was sent off with a red card. Ranieri was very dissatisfied and directly bombarded the referee class on duty. tee.
The tinker's heart is also under a lot of pressure. After all, he has to face Naples in a week and lose Nedved, which is still a big blow to Juventus.
Referee Banti is also on fire.
Nedved elbows right under his nose, is there a problem?
Are you Ranieri still mad at me?
So, he gave a red card directly, sent Ranieri out, and found a partner for Nedved.
"As usual, how will it be arranged?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.
If you can't make good use of this at your own home, is it still a home?
"Accompanied and supervised by officials of the Italian Football Association, he can enter the locker room before the game, half-time and after the game, but he can't walk into the stadium, so it is normal to command remotely from the stands." Marino analyzed.
This number is familiar to the high-level.
It's not that he has experienced it, but he has seen news a lot in his previous life. For example, Mourinho, this guy has not been sent to the stands, and he has many tricks to remotely command the game.
"Can I bring my cell phone?" Gao Shen asked.
"That's definitely not going to work." Marino shook his head. "If you have a cell phone and you make a forty-five minute call, what's the penalty for that?"
"Arrange someone to pass the note?" Gao Shen asked again.
Marino thought for a moment, "It's possible, but it needs someone's help."
As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Gao Shen raising his eyebrows again, Marino laughed tacitly.
"Understood, I'll make arrangements."
"I think, we Mr. Ranieri are in Italian football, no, in the whole European football, he is a well-respected coach, and it is rare to come to our Sao Paulo Stadium, so he must be treated well and specially arranged, yes Bar?"
"That's for sure." Marino was informed and knowledgeable, and immediately took the words of Gao Shen, "Don't worry, I will make good arrangements, and I will definitely allow Mr. Ranieri to enjoy an unprecedented special one-stop service in a five-star stadium."
Gao Shen secretly screamed in his heart, this bald-headed Qiang has been enlightened recently.
have a future!
The two got together again, whispered quietly for a while, and finally laughed ill-naturedly.
If there are outsiders at this time, they will definitely call the police and arrest these two guys.
Say, are you two plotting a terrorist attack?
In the next few days, Naples were methodically preparing for the game.
There is a week of free time to prepare for the game, and Gao Shen also let the team adjust well, because after Juventus, the next week is the tenth round of Serie A, and the pressure on the schedule has begun to increase again.
Moreover, Juventus, like Naples, is a domestic competition in Serie A, and there are no European competitions.
In this way, both sides are recharged.
Juventus' problems will be a little bigger, mainly because coach Ranieri and Nedved are out for accumulated red cards, and midfielder Zanetti is also injured, which will cause Juventus' midfield to be somewhat affected.
The player Zanetti has performed well in Inter Milan. After coming to Juventus, he is a general that Ranieri relies on. If he fails to catch up with this game, it will have a great impact on Juventus.
Although the tinker is the Italian head coach, he has actually been away from Serie A for ten years.
After coaching Florence in 1997, he went to coach Valencia and never returned to Italy.
He has coached Valencia and Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Chelsea in the Premier League, and returned to coach Valencia in 2004.
After leaving school in Valencia in 2005, he was idle at home for a time and lived by writing columns for British newspapers.
It is also a good way to recharge yourself.
Last season, Parma's performance was a mess. After the coach Pioli was beaten by Gao Shen and lost his coaching position, the person who succeeded him was Ranieri, and he also led Parma to rebound strongly and was able to coach Juventus this season.
Few people know that before Ranieri coached Juventus, the general manager of Juventus Blanco called Gao Shen, but Gao Shen made it clear that he would not coach Juventus. The chance to take charge of the Bianconeri.
And this past incident was naturally dug up by media reporters before the game.
It can be said that the grievances and grievances between the two teams made this game not only a duel between the two strong teams in the north and south, but also a personal feud between the two teams, and a battle for Ranieri's name.
At least, he will use a game to prove that he is not inferior to Gao Shen.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that in the game against Genoa, after Nedved was sent off with a red card, Ranieri went wild and uncontrollably, and instead let himself be sent off with a red card.
On the morning of the team's departure south to Naples, sporting director Alessio Seco arrived at the training base.
Nominally, the purpose of his trip was to cheer on the team's road trip, but in reality, he came to coach Ranieri, and he was very concerned about the starting lineup for the away game against Napoli.
Nedved is suspended with a red card, Zanetti is recovering from an injury, how does Ranieri plan to line up?
"You know, Claudio, we were one of the biggest signings in European football this summer."
Secco talks in front of Ranieri.
"We have brought in a lot of high-level players who have performed very well in other teams, such as Thiago, Iaquinta,
Almiron, Nocerino, etc., unfortunately, Andrade was injured in the game against Roma and missed this 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, and he can't hear Seco's meaning.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Seco's signing has been questioned.
Andrade was the best of 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 the chance to play.
Ranieri once wanted to try playing as a three striker with Iaquinta, Del Piero and Trezeguet, but after trying it, he found that the midfield became very weak and quickly gave up the tempting idea.
But in this way, it is difficult for Iaquinta to compete with Trezeguet and Del Piero, who are both good players and have experienced Serie B competition with the team.
The two midfielders, Thiago and Almiron, were also unable to play the main role. Instead, Nocerino, who was transferred from Serie B Piacenza, performed well and was even selected for the Italian national team.
This summer, Seko spent 55 million euros, ranking ninth in European football and first in Serie A, but from the perspective of the transfer effect, at least at the current stage, it is not very ideal. It can even be said that, Not ideal.
It also puts sports directors under pressure.
After all, Juventus and the Fiat consortium behind the team are not in a very ideal situation. They invested a lot of money, but failed to get corresponding returns and promotions, which made it difficult for Seco to cross.
"I think we should give the new players more opportunities to play. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com helps them integrate into our team, what do you think?"
Seko asked.
Said to be asking, but in fact, there was a tone of command in his tone.
Ranieri clearly knew what was going on in his heart, and he nodded solemnly, "I'll try my best to arrange it."
"Well, if you say that, I'm relieved." Seko said with a smile.
After a pause, he thought of something, "So far this season, we have all performed very well, currently ranked third in Serie A, we are all very satisfied, the last three rounds"
Seco snorted twice, "There seems to be something wrong with our offense, you still have to think of a way, Naples has been our bitter master since last season, we didn't win this team last season, Whether it's me, the management, the fans, or even the gentlemen above, they all look forward to us washing away last season's slump."
"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 the top giants should have. I believe you can do it, come on!"
Ranieri smiled wryly and nodded.
With all that said, what else could he say?
"By the way, Mr. Seko, about the arrangements for the scene, especially the transmission of news," Ranieri asked.
That's the crux of the game.
"Don't worry, I have already found someone to arrange it. From the Football Association's side, I will let people try to mediate as much as possible. When the time comes, there will be someone on the scene to help you deliver the news. You can communicate with the assistant, and there will be no problems." Seko Absolutely assured.
Ranieri breathed a sigh of relief.
In an away game against Naples, if the coach does not command on the sidelines, the impact is still great.
After all, football is constantly changing.
