In the press ference hall of the Stadio San Paolo, in front of two or three hundred media repao Shen officially signed for Napoli.

  This not only elicited warm appuse from the press ference hall, but there were also faint cheers from Napoli fans outside the stadium.

  Yes, after learning that the team was signing a tract with Gao Shen today, many Napoli fans spontaneously gathered outside the Stadio San Paolo to cheer fao Shen's arrival.

  Acc to a local media report in his is the biggest superstar signing for Napoli since Maradona.

  "This is aing and thrilling signing!"

  After signing, Gao Shen was interviewed by the media reporters on-site.

  Although he was only twenty-five years old and faced two or three hundred repao Shen was not at all intimidated.

  When he was at Real Madrid, he faced more reporters, and the stakes were higher than now, so he was used to it.

  Gao Shen first expressed that he was excited to coaapoli because this is a club with a glorious history, a club where Maradona, one of the greatest pyers in the history of world football, made his name.

  "When the club's driver picked me up at the airport and drove me through the city ter, he told me that the city still remembers Maradona. I thought to myself, I want to be like Maradona, to create great memories for this team and this city. That's why I came to coaapoli."

  When asked by the media, Gao Shen also denied having reached any agreement with Juventus.

  "Yes, I was in tact with them. That's normal; I needed a job, and several teams reached out to me. Juventus needed a manager, but there were signifit differences between us. I preferred to build a strong team in my own vision, so I chose Napoli."

  The implication is that Napoli gave him enough resped itment.

  "Mr. Gao, what did you promise to Napoli?"

  Gao Shen smiled at the reporters and nodded, "I know that during my coag te Real Madrid, many people criticized my football style as servative and not passionate enough. But I want to say that this is a misuanding of me. I actually have a heart for attag football, so I came to Napoli t passioag football."

  Many media reporters at the se appuded.

  Everyone knows that Italian football has always been servative, and head coaches who advocate offensive football often don't have a happy ending.

  So, the question is, what does it mean fao Shen to choose to py attag football in Italy?

  "It doesn't mean anything; I just want to challenge myself because I've always felt that Serie A is the toughest league in the world. Now, I want to hone myself and improve myself in this league. I believe that as long as I succeed in Italy, then I succeed in any league."

  There was another round of warm appuse from the audience.

  Although Serie A is not as dominant as it was befao Shen's time, in 2006, it is no exaggeration to say that Serie A is still reized as the top league in the world.

  Befao Shen coached Real Madrid, there were many superstars, but nooli's lineup is truly shabby. Media reporters are very ed about whether Gao Shen has the ability to lead this team and whether Napoli provide him with adequate support.

  De Laurentiis answered this question by saying that he would do everything in his power to suppao Shen.

  "We chose the best head coa the world, so we naturally o give him trust and support. We believe he lead the team to Serie A!"

  De Laurentiis also promised that this summer, Napoli's transfer budget would be as high as 20 million euros.

  This is an astronomical figure in Serie B.

  Even for a team like Juventus, it would be impossible to spend this much money in Serie B.

  De Laurentiis smiled at Gao Shen and said that this was not just for Serie B. "More importantly, we have a long-term pn. We o prepare and y the foundation for Serie A."

  Now, even the media reporters were excited.

  The newly promoted Serie B team is already preparing for Serie A. Should this be called ambition? Or is it over-ambition?

  Regarding the current state of Italian football, Gao Shen said he pyed against the twest teams in Serie A st season.

  "Capello and Ai are both world-renowned coaches, but I think Italian football needs some ges. Just like Sacchi said, the teical and tactical thinking of Italian football o ge to break away from the past barriers."

  Gao Shen promised t higher iy and mgressive football.

  "High iy, high pressure, high aggression, but also the ability to trol rhythm, possession, and space this is a very iing dire, and I will work hard towards it."

  Gao Shen and De Laurentiis made an apt analogy: building a team is like making a movie.

  Before the film is made, no one knows its quality or final box office earnings.

  Simirly, the head coach is like a director. He only trol the dire, stantly adjusting and refining, cheg for deficies, but he ot say with certainty what kind of football he will py.

  That is not realistic.

  Gao Shen now has a goal, an idea, and he wants t it to life in Naples.

  When asked by a media repao Shen also revealed that he is not a so-called genius.

  "Actually, I'm very ordinary. Everything I've achieved es from the support and trust of the pyers, assistants, and ma around me, and most importantly, the fans. So, I really hope that in Naples, I tio receive all of this. I also believe I succeed in Naples."

  This season's Serie B has been hailed as the most petitive Serie B ever, as there are not only giants like Juventus, but also Genoa, Brescia, Bologna, Lecce, Treviso, and Piaza all traditional Serie A teams.

  It be said that the petition in Serie B this season is really fierce.

  Gao Shen smiled fidently and said he was aware of this.

  "I know that as a newly promoted Serie B team, I probably shouldn't say this, but I still think that oal is not just to be promoted."

  As soon as Gao Shen's voice fell, there roar in the room.

  Not to be promoted?

  De Laurentiis smiled because he had guessed what Gao Shen was about to say.

  "There are three pces for promotion. The top two advance directly, while the third to eighth pces have the opportunity to participate in the pyoffs. This is the rule of Serie B, but I think it's too cumbersome. I've thought about it for a long time and still don't uand what it's all about."

  Many media reporters at the se were amused. What's there to not uand?

  The top two advance directly. If the third-pce team leads the fourth-pce team by more than 15 points, they also advance directly. If not, the third to eighth-pced teams will participate in the pyoffs.

  This is what Gao She when he said that the third to eighth pces are all eligible for the pyoffs.

  "Finally, I figured out, why bother with this plex set of rules? We make it simpler by directly targeting the championship. That way, there are no headaches!"

  Everyone present nearly fell over.

  Damn, so all that talk was just for the st sentence.

  Fortunately, some enthusiastic reporters were just about to expin the Serie B rules to him.

  It turned out Gao Shen didn't misuand; he just pretended not to uand.

  People who don't uand are often the ones who uand the most. Sure enough, this is true.

  But for a newly promoted team to cim they want to win the championship even if it's just Serie B it's a bit of an exaggeration.

  Keep in mind that Juventus is far from weak and is widely reized as the favorite for the Serie B championship.

  Gao Shen said with a smile, "I don't know how other teams are doing. I only know that in the new season, Napoli is only fighting for the championship. season, we will appear in Serie A!"

  "I hope that all Serie A teams prepare in advance!"

  Bold! Powerful!

  Everyo the se was stunned!

  He's already this fier his first day; is this really okay?

  However, the media reporters were truly excited.

  Italian football is filled with a group of dull old men. They are servative and cautious, careful with their words, and hardly give anything away. It's tough to evee news.

  Look at the Premier League Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho whie of them doesn't talk trash every day?

  The British media are all thrilled, aren't they?

  But look at Italy. If it weren't for the ret Calciopoli sdal, it would have been a backwater.

  But now, things are different. Gao Shen is here, and it's a new dawn for Italian media reporters!

  ...

  "You were so bold just now; I like it!"

  After the press ference, De Laurentiis and Marino walked oher side of Gao Shen, and the Napoli boss ughed.

  He himself is a bold and ruthless character, and he appreciated Gao Shen's attitude.

  Whether you achieve it or not, just decre it first.

  If you don't even dare to decre it, what you achieve?

  "Seriously, we really need such a slogan now to boost morale and gain more fidence," Marino said.

  Gao Shen nodded, which was one of the reasons for his high-profile statement.

  He is the double champion of La Liga and the Champions League, but Napoli has a very weak foundation. When signing pyers, those pyers will definitely have s, especially some strong pyers who certainly wouldn't want to stay in Serie B for too long.

  Once Gao Shen's bold statement spreads through the media, everyone will know that Napoli's goal for the new season is the Serie B championship. This will boost the fidenany pyers.

  Serie A and Serie B are still different.

  Many pyers are willing to stay in Serie B for just one season, but if it goes on for too long, they won't accept it.

  "I have a transfer list here. Take a look at it and start signing acc to this list. We'll keep in touch at all times," Gao Shen said as he took out a list. The list taihe names of many pyers and the teams they beloo.

  Marino was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected Gao Shen to be so well prepared.

  Feeling De Laurentiis' gaze, he nodded immediately.

  "Don't worry; I will try my best to get these pyers."

  Gao Shen nodded, knowing that a few difficult-to-acquire pyers would likely require him to step in personally.
