Three Hundred and Twenty-Seven Classic Duels Recorded in the History of Tactics

When Maradona walked into the San Paolo Stadium, the entire stadium, more than 60,000 Naples fans, all stood up and gave the most enthusiastic applause to the king.

Countless Naples fans are chanting Maradona's name frantically!

This is definitely an unexpected surprise!

Before the game, the management of Naples didn't know whether Maradona could catch up with the game, so they didn't make any publicity. This also caused the whole stadium, even the live TV station, to be shocked when Maradona suddenly appeared. shocked!

This is Maradona!

"We see that the entire San Paolo Stadium is welcoming the return of their former king!"

"Maradona once created the pinnacle of his career in this stadium. This stadium, this city, everyone still remembers him firmly."

"Just a few days ago, some Naples city councilors proposed that if Naples can really win the Serie A championship this season, they should erect a statue for Gao Shen and let him become the hero of the city together with Maradona."

"I don't know if I saw this news, but Maradona couldn't wait to come to the scene to cheer for Gao Shen."

"He has his own graffiti wall in this city, but no one has erected a statue for him yet."

"It is worth mentioning that there was not a single Inter Milan fan at the San Paolo Stadium tonight."

"According to the data we got from Naples, there are more than 60,300 fans, all of them are Naples fans and guests."

"This is for safety reasons. At the same time, the reaction of the local fans in Naples is also quite enthusiastic. The supply of tickets is simply in short supply, so De Laurentiis directly negotiated with the Football Association and Inter Milan. In the end, the two parties agreed not to allocate tickets to Inter Milan. "

"Let's take a look at the pictures taken by reporters outside the stadium..."

"The avenue outside the San Paolo stadium is full of Napoli fans."

"Tonight, this is not only a Serie A battle for the top spot, it is not even a key battle for the Serie A championship. It affects the hearts of the entire Naples. Everyone is looking forward to Gao Shen and his team. Tonight at the San Paolo Stadium, avenge last season!"

"Mancini and his Inter Milan want to defend their place at the top of the table."

"This is bound to be a hand-to-hand battle!"

"Even, this will be the highest level matchup in Serie A!"

...

Although every guest's appearance will receive warm applause from the scene.

But all are in Maradona's shadow.

In this stadium, in this city, no one can match Maradona's influence.

Inter Milan also arranged for two high-level leaders, Branca and Oriali, who also accompanied De Laurentiis, Maradona and other guests, and sat in the middle of the rostrum.

Sacchi, Zidane and Valdano and other acquaintances who have worked in Real Madrid sit together; Italians such as Capello, Lippi and Trapattoni sit in one area; Guardiola and Cruyff from Barcelona are next to each other.

Guardiola is currently coaching the Barcelona second team, but he has stayed in this team and experienced the zero-to-three match last season, so Gao Shen called him before and asked him if he wanted to come and see.

"I am very confident in this game!"

Just for these profound words, Guardiola flew from Barcelona to Rome this morning after leading the Barcelona second team to play the game, and then from Rome to Naples.

Cruyff often went to watch the games of the second team of Barcelona, ​​and often chatted with Guardiola. At the same time, he also received an invitation letter for Inter Milan's centennial celebration. When he learned that Guardiola was going to fly to Naples to watch the game, he felt itchy I couldn't bear it, and decided to go together.

The two were sitting in the core area of ​​the chairman's stand, looking at the bustling Sao Paulo Stadium. Although the players from both sides hadn't entered the stadium yet, the atmosphere was already very strong.

Especially off the field,

There were faint voices of fans coming from all directions. Obviously, the outside was also crowded with fans from Naples. Many places also used open-air screens to broadcast the game live.

"It's not a Serie A game anymore."

Cruyff looked at the scene, especially around himself. There were many famous Italian football players. He even saw Ulivieri and Ventura and other respected old coaches in Italian football.

Can an ordinary Serie A match attract them?

"I think this is a collision of two different tactical concepts!" Guardiola said.

Cruyff nodded, "In the past two years, Italy has been full of rejection of Gao Shen, but in the professional field, he is still very recognized. Now, Inter Milan, which represents the highest level of Italian football, and Manchester United represented by Italian coaches Cini, starting this battle for the top spot with Naples is indeed worth studying and very attractive."

"But from the very beginning, Inter Milan lost a lot." Guardiola smiled.

He is a staunch and profound party member.

A football game is never just about the game itself, but before and after the game, and even the entire season.

From the pre-match point of view, Naples has done better and more fully than Inter Milan in terms of preparation and player adjustment. At least Naples has a well-equipped team and played with a full main lineup.

Several Inter Milan players have just recovered from injuries, and the team's status may not be guaranteed.

"I think that the state and preparation can at most close the gap in strength between Naples and Inter Milan, so this game will test the tactics and on-the-spot command of the coaches of both sides." Cruyff guessed.

This is why tonight will attract so many Italian football stars.

They all want to know, whose tactics will be better when both sides have similar combat effectiveness?

Therefore, to a certain extent, this game not only determines the balance of the Serie A championship this season, but may even change the tactical style and future trends of Italian football.

Even, this will be a classic duel recorded in the history of Italian tactics!

The media and fans regard Gaoshen as a scourge, but only Italian football professionals know that they need someone like Gaoshen to bring them shocks, fresh stimuli, and let them absorb advanced nutrients.

"I have always felt that Gao Shen is very different from you." Cruyff looked at his proud disciple and said with a smile.

Guardiola nodded, "He is the most powerful locker room manager and motivator I have ever seen."

"Oh?" Cruyff did not expect that Guardiola would speak so highly of Gao Shen.

"At the beginning, I discussed block and grid with him, but he didn't agree with it. He thought it was a kind of management laziness." Guardiola smiled bitterly. He is now using block and grid Gridded to help Barcelona players execute his tactics.

But this set was not accepted by Gao Shen.

In other words, Gao Shen no longer uses this method.

"He has studied management. He said that bureaucratic management has three tricks, which have been tried and tested. The first is to decompose tasks layer by layer, then assign responsibilities to people, and finally distinguish rewards and punishments."

"He thinks that my block and grid belong to this category." Guardiola smiled bitterly.

If he hadn't faced Cruyff, he certainly wouldn't have said that.

Cruyff has also been a head coach. He knows the importance of managing the locker room. At first he heard Guardiola's three tricks, he thought it was nothing, but after careful consideration, he found that it was really inscrutable.

If you make good use of these three tricks, not to mention managing a team, even managing an army, you will have no problem.

"He doesn't agree?" Cruyff was curious.

Guardiola nodded with a wry smile, "He thinks this method is simple and rude, and not humane enough. This way of apportionment, of course, is no problem when meeting suitable players, but it often causes big problems when encountering inappropriate players."

"So how did he do it?" Cruyff asked with interest.

Guardiola shook his head and smiled wryly, "He hardly cares about training, and he chats with players every day, not only talking about his own ideas with players, but also listening to players' opinions. Anyway, he chats with players about everything, including playing games, even Finding a girlfriend, he called this going deep into the grassroots."

"Deep into the grass roots?" Cruyff was taken aback.

Is this a cadre? Or mixed business?

"Then he will integrate many different and scattered opinions, clearly understand the characters, abilities and characteristics of the players, and then convey his thoughts and ideas to the players, so that they can form a unified thinking, know what to do, and why. Do that so you can act as one on the pitch."

Hearing this, Cruyff couldn't help laughing bitterly, "It's true that you have to chat with players every day, and you have a good eloquence."

When you encounter boring gourd, this set is absolutely impossible to play.

Guardiola also nodded with a smile, "He said that when he praised people, he could boast for hours at a stretch without repeating it."

"So outrageous?" Cruyff was stunned.

Guardiola couldn't help but nod, it's just so tough!

"At first glance, his set of ideas is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but in the long run, the effect will be very good, even very good, and it can handle the conflicts in the locker room very well." Cruyff was a little convinced.

At least in the area of ​​locker room management, Gao Shen is better than he imagined.

"Yeah, so you see, this season he replaced Cannavaro Jr. with David Luiz and Bonucci, who was the captain on the field, and there was no contradiction in the locker room. Cannavaro Jr. was being fired by the media. Sometimes, he even turned around and helped Gao Shen explain."

That's the thing!

Obviously it was the players who suffered a great loss, but in the end they were able to take the initiative to defend Gao Shen.

To put it mildly, this is called taking care of the overall situation.

To put it bluntly, this is called being sold by Gao Shen and counting the money for him!

This ability really admires Guardiola, even more so than his advanced technical and tactical level.

"To be honest, I have always felt that if we really want to change coaches this summer, Gao Shen is definitely the most suitable candidate, more suitable than Mourinho. I don't think he is suitable for our Barcelona!" Guardiola said .

The expression on Cruyff's face froze, obviously he also felt that the problem was serious, but the godfather of Barcelona still nodded.

At this time, players from the two teams entered the court one after another.

The fanatical atmosphere of the St. Paul Stadium was instantly pushed to the peak.
