Lippi was the most successful football coach in Italy in the 1990s. During his 23-year coaching career, he won almost all the honors he could think of as a club coach. His name has been associated with various champions again and again. Some people even doubt whether the championship and victory will excite the famous coach with outstanding achievements. Indeed, Lippi's great achievements as a coach have reached its peak, but if it is only because of this, his football career will be smooth sailing. Turning over the dusty history and understanding his previous experience may make him admire him even more, and this admiration is not limited to so many glories he has brought.
Marcello Lippi was born on April 1948 1 1 in the coastal city of ViaRegio, Tuscany. He likes football since he was a child and hopes to join a youth team called Lucchese in his hometown. 1964 lippi, 16 years old, came to Genoa, a northern port city, and joined Sampdoria, a team that made him contribute 12 years. The young Lippi was just a little apprentice here at first. 1969- 1970. However, it was in savona that Lippi grew very rapidly. Sampdoria soon crossed him out of the list of supernumerary players and joined Sampdoria's first-team list. Against Cagliari on September 27th, 1970 became Lippi's Serie A debut. Six months later, he was lucky enough to wear the logo of the Italian national team for the first time. Unfortunately, Lippi, as a player, has never played for the national senior team, which is a pity. Later, Lippi spent nine years at Sampdoria and Ferraris Stadium. He grew from a fledgling young man to a defensive leader of the team and was finally promoted to captain of the team. At that time, the situation in Sampdoria was not very good. The result is still not stable. Whenever the team loses or performs poorly, the defense line headed by Lippi becomes the target of public criticism. Some people criticized Lippi as the backbone of the defense in the player era, and the team could not organize an effective counterattack from him, although it was better than some of his contemporaries.
"This is not a problem at all. It's just that I've never been excavated in this field. My only goal is to be the flag of the club's defense, "Lippi retorted at the time. However, Lippi has no problem and the club is in trouble. 1977, due to the team's attitude towards some problems exposed before, Victory began to turn a blind eye to Sampdoria, and finally Serie A abandoned Sampdoria. That year, the team was relegated to the second division. Lippi described the experience like this: "I worked very hard. As a player, I gallop on the court. Due to economic problems, sometimes.
But Lippi silently accepted all this. At that time, he was like an experienced captain, with a group of panicked sailors, driving a battered warship, looking for the last hope of survival in the stormy waves. Maybe Lippi felt that the future was bleak at that time, but he never let his emotions show. He used his composure and calmness; Use positive actions to infect teammates so that they don't give up their final struggle.
Perhaps it is these experiences as a player that make Lippi, as a coach, calm down in the face of pressure and doubt, let him learn how to settle the contradictions and complaints in the dressing room, and let him know how to get rid of pressure and catch up. Although Lippi didn't win any honor for himself when he played in Sampdoria, it wasn't nothing. At that time, Sampdoria did not lack excellent coaches, from Bernardini, who had the reputation of "doctor", to Herrera, a former meritorious coach of Inter Milan. From Italian star Vincenzi to famous Serie A coach Eugenio Belser Lini, their excellent command ability, resourcefulness on the field and careful analysis of players' mentality and opponents' characteristics before the game benefited Lippi a lot, which laid a good foundation for his future coaching work.
Sampdoria spent five years in the second division. 1979- 1980 season, Lippi returned to his hometown of Tuscany and joined Pistois. After the first season, he led the team back to the "paradise" of Serie A as the captain, where he played until the summer of 198 1, and he moved to Land Cruiser. This is also his last transfer as a player. Until the end of the season 198 1- 1982, he decided to honor a small promise he had made. When he moved from Sampdoria to pistoia, Mr. mantovani, then president of Sampdoria, reluctantly said to Lippi, "When you finished your career as a player, I like coming back here very much. At that time, Lippi promised to come back as soon as he retired, and now he has come to fulfill his promise. From 65438 to 0982, Lippi took over the Sampdoria youth team. In the first game he coached, he was insulted and laughed at by his opponent. His team was defeated by his opponent 0-5. Until now, Lippi still remembers the sarcastic comment of former Sampdoria first-team coach Fulvio Bernardini: "Lippi is so handsome, I'm afraid it's hard to be an excellent coach. He will lose one less next time. "
However, Lippi didn't care too much about this. When he was young and controversial, he got used to it. The philosopher Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "No one can hurt you unless you agree." Of course, this requires a realm, a great sense of internal security and self-awareness. Obviously, Lippi seems to be about to sublimate to that ideological realm.
At that time, the Sampdoria Youth Team later went out of Rana, Gonzá lez, Giza and gambaro. I'm afraid people who watch serie a don't know them. A youth team coach wants to turn those uncut "stones" like them into the "jewels" of the future first team, so he needs patience and waits for their transformation. By this time, Sampdoria's first team had come and left several people.
"I don't want to make mistakes. I have a good relationship with the chairman. We are fine, but I need to change myself. I realize that it is difficult for a coach to have room for improvement in the same team from beginning to end. I need new experiences to promote me to become a first-team coach, even from the bottom. " Lippi said this when recalling his early coaching experience.
1985, Lippi returned to his hometown of Tuscany, where he really started from the bottom. He started with Italian Pontella in the fourth grade, and then moved to Siena, Pistois, Calarese, cesena and Lucchese. This drift has never stopped.
But in Siena and cesena, he was fired. His first job was in Pontella, which can only be regarded as a real change from a player to a coach. To be fair, Siena is a desperate team. In Pistois, he had to convince his players to keep playing on the field, even though they knew that if they didn't keep playing, they might not get paid. It was not until he joined Carrares that he tasted the joy of success.
Although this team in carrara is not famous, Lippi is very happy there. The seventh place in the league is very good for this team, and his ability to manage the team and conduct on the spot has also been recognized by some teams. Parma, who had just been promoted to Serie A, noticed Lippi, but in the end they chose Scala. cremona also noticed Lippi, but later they found bourget Nicky. Finally, cesena invited Lippi to meet the club president there.
During this period, Lippi also attended the test class of international A-level coaches in Coveciano, Italy. After holding the license, he officially took over the cesena team in Serie A, and all he had to do was to ensure that the team had a place in the relegation quota.
However, in the middle of the season, Lippi suffered a second-class merit.
"It's like a slap in the face for a young coach to finish class. Usually he has to choose to start again at a lower level." Lippi described himself as helpless at the time. "My coaching career is rich and colorful. I was fired twice before I went to Atlanta, once after 17 rounds and once after a season. Their situation got worse when I left them, but I didn't feel guilty. I believe that the problem between the two teams is not the coach. "
In the 90-9 1 season, Sampdoria's soldiers won the Serie A championship, but Lippi had no choice but to condescend to Lucchese. His student Lana has lifted the league championship with Sampdoria, and Giza, Gonzalez and gambaro have been recognized and appreciated in Italian football. Sometimes the reality is that others are helpless, so are ordinary people, not to mention a wandering coach.
But sometimes, opportunities come unexpectedly, and it is these many unexpected things that make up a wonderful life. In the season of 9 1-92, Lippi returned to his hometown to teach in Lucchese, not far from home. After nine rounds, Atalanta sent him an invitation, which was a great turning point in Lippi's life.
Lippi didn't make any historic breakthrough for Atlanta's first team, but he did something very public-spirited, and Atlanta has benefited a lot so far-together with Fabini, Prandelli and Vavassori, he built a huge youth player training network and a strong youth football training camp system for Atlanta. It's a youth player training program called "Planning". They played one unknown young athlete after another. From Locatelli to Zenoni, brother. This is not only a contribution to Atlanta, but also to Italian football. Lippi also attracted some attention in Italian football for the first time. A year later, Lippi got a chance to really prove himself, a chance to let Italian football know himself. It was not God who gave him that chance, but Naples, a port city in southern Italy, which was as beautiful as the paradise where God lived.
In Italy, there is a famous saying: I can go to Naples in my life and die without regret. Lippi came to this southern coastal city with this belief. At that time, the situation of Naples club was very bad. Diego maradona was banned for taking drugs. His departure also declared the end of modern people in Naples. The team also exhausted all its capital and financial resources, and even the players' salaries could not be paid. The team is on the verge of relegation. Banks and creditors also issued an ultimatum, and the Italian Football Association also threatened Naples. If the financial dispute cannot be resolved, it will play Serie B next season, leaving the team with only one choice-selling stars to maintain the normal operation of the team. That summer, Zola and crippa went to Palma, Gary went to Turin, and Carrica returned to Brazil. In the past, only Franzini and Cladini were left among the old players. Ferrara played almost alone and the team borrowed from other teams. Advance from the youth team; Coupled with some players bought at low prices from the lower leagues, we finally pieced together a lineup that can play games. The whole team is like a grassroots team, and the "class teacher" who leads this team is Lippi, who has just emerged.
Although some people laughed at the team's strength at the beginning of the season, by the middle of the season, all the smiling faces were replaced by surprised faces. Instead of falling into the quagmire of relegation, the team became a favorable contender for the UEFA Cup. Lippi "tailored" the defensive counterattack formation of 352 for the team. There are two people involved in the attack in the frontcourt, one in the backcourt acts as a trailing centre-back, others adopt man-to-man tactics, and players make up for their lack of personal ability with active running and fierce fighting. Every player is conscientious and conscientious on the court. Unite as a tribe, defend its territory and defend the reputation of the city of Naples. Players sometimes get unpaid regularly, but no one complains. Lippi's mediation in it is hard to grind. Of course, this kind of thing is not strange to him at all. Don't forget that he can't get paid in Sampdoria and Pistois. And those bumpy and adventurous experiences have created such an extraordinary coach and his personality.
In this seemingly "humble" team, golden phoenix is actually hidden, and Ferrara is one of them. Lippi turned this budding and even impetuous star of hope into a mature, stable and independent defense leader, and goalkeeper Takla also honed into an excellent goalkeeper comparable to pagliuca. In the 93-94 season against Sampdoria, Lippi sent a man named fabio cannavaro. Fonseca, who was frustrated in Cagliari before, and Corini and Busso, who were frustrated in Sampdoria, all found confidence here. Di Canio also experienced the joy of being trusted by the head coach and playing football with peace of mind for the first time here. Although diego maradona's departure made Naples fans sad, at least in that season, this sadness was only emotional, because Lippi's performance in Naples should be described as a miracle. At least on the court, Lippi's team never gave the fans the idea of "If only there were diego maradona". After the season, people are talking about the magical coach Lippi and his incredible Napoli team.
When a timid teenager becomes a brave soldier and an ugly duckling grows into a beautiful angel, people who love it will come uninvited. 1in the summer of 994, the giants flocked to Lippi, and Lippi got the opportunity to show himself on a bigger stage. At first it was Inter Milan, but at that time Lippi seemed to have deep feelings for Napoli. He just wants Naples to get out of the trough as soon as possible. He works hard and feels good. He wants to stay here. Inter Milan saw this situation and gave up the plan to hire Lippi. However, the economic situation of Napoli Club is so bad that it is difficult to provide Lippi with enough support. So Lippi is also contradictory. Just as Lippi hesitated, he received a phone call from General Manager Moggi of Juventus. However, Lippi is not very happy about this, because he knows that it is not an easy task to coach Juventus, Italy's first Hulk. There are many big-name stars in the team, all of whom are famous, and he is just an unknown coach. Whether he can convince these big-name players with high spirits is still unknown. However, when Moggi truthfully told Lippi about Juventus' current predicament and everyone's strong desire for the championship, and repeatedly expressed the sincerity of the club, Lippi's worries vanished, and he made up his mind to throw himself into the arms of the Bianconeri and go all out to play for Juventus. In this way, assistant coach Vintone and captain Ferrara in Naples boarded the flight to Turin.
From then on, every Sunday in Serie A, we can see a gentleman with gold-rimmed glasses, a cigar in his mouth and silver hair sitting on the coach's seat on the edge of Juventus competition. The title of "Silver Fox" also began at that time. He has Ravanelli's silver hair; Viali's bald head; Baggio's braid and Juventus' zebra shirt became a unique scenery in Serie A at that time. Lippi is really a gentleman, and it's hard to see him yelling on the sidelines like Capello. Grinning like Belser Rini; With trapattoni's body language or Guidolin's squatting on the sidelines, you can't read the joy of victory, the anxiety of deadlock or the frustration of failure on Lippi's face, as if there is no nerve connection between his heart and face. He will always have that look. To be exact, he will never know what he is thinking. It seems that he has found a way to beat his opponent from the beginning, which is tepid.
It is Lippi's genius as a coach to carefully observe the characteristics of each player under his command and their first reaction when encountering unexpected events and understand them more accurately. He tried his best to tap all the potential of the players and designed a training plan suitable for each player. The one in Naples was brought here, but Lippi was no longer disciplined and emotional.
Lippi's arrival at Juventus was an adventure for both sides, although it was not as bad as Naples. But for a team with a glorious tradition, it is intolerable not to win the league championship for 9 years. At that time, Juventus adopted the same business strategy as later Inter Milan-buying big-name stars at high prices and signing them one by one with astronomical figures. Baggio and Viali are the products of this practice. For the players, they came to Juventus to win the championship, but they have kept a close relationship with the champion all the year round, which is not glorious in this team called "the giants". It is not difficult for players to understand that they can't see the future. Viali was the first person to express this feeling. Before Lippi came to Juve, Viali almost left. His morale was low at that time. After Lippi came, the first thing he did was to ask Lippi to help him return to Sampdoria.
"I told him to look up. I stressed to him that if he was willing to work hard, he would become the best striker in Europe, and he did. With his contribution, we got double reward. We won the league and the cup, and Juventus should thank Viali. " Lippi recalled this.
Later, Viali was not the only player who made such a great change, and Lippi was no stranger to such a gratifying player. As a player of that year, didn't he also persuade his teammates to fight bravely in adversity in the locker room?
Lippi is famous in Italy for daring to employ people. He used a young man named Del pierrot 19 from Padua, and put Baggio, the "heartthrob", on the bench. 1990 When Baggio became famous in the World Cup, Lippi was still unemployed at home. When I first arrived in Turin, I dared to touch the "Zebra Prince" when I came out. I'm afraid no one dares to do this except Lippi. People who hate Juve and like Baggio must hate Lippi, but no matter what your attitude towards him, it is undeniable that replacing Baggio with pierrot was not a bad result at least at that time, even if you don't admit the fresh "air" and surprises brought by pierrot, and when pierrot first arrived at Juventus, pierrot has now become the most outstanding "masterpiece" in Lippi's coaching career.
It was after patiently persuading the players and making a series of adjustments to the team that Lippi began a glorious period in Serie A and Juventus. God almost returned all the champions' trophies owed to Juventus, and thus began a Serie A management myth of Lippi and Juventus:
1995 May 2 1 marks the establishment of a new dynasty and the return of a king's teacher. In the match between Juventus and Parma, the biggest competitor of the Serie A championship, Juventus, who won the championship in a draw, taught Parma a good lesson. The score of 4: 0 told everyone who was the king of Italy. The FA Cup, the old woman is also riding.
In the 1996 Champions Cup, the "old woman" shot and killed Ajax, the god of war. 1992 Viali made up for his regret at Wembley, and Ajax fell apart from then on. After that, the victory of the European Super Cup made Juventus the king of Europe, and the victory of the Toyota Cup at the end of the year made the Bianconeri achieve the great cause of dominating the world. Lippi's rapid rise in those two years was appropriate, but he won almost all the honors he could get as a coach. It was only two years from his first championship to that time.
1996- 1998 was Lippi's best period in Juventus and Italy. 1April 6, 997, destined to go down in history. At the San Siro, Juventus humiliated former European champion AC Milan with a score of 6- 1 and called itself 1949-65438. Moreover, it accelerated the collapse of AC Milan dynasty. Juventus started its new era on the ruins of the San Siro, and then won the Serie A championship for two consecutive years, which also made the investment of another Italian giant Inter Milan President Moratti nearly 100 million yuan go down the drain.
1999, Lippi, who is in the scenery of Juventus, decided to start a new challenge. He joined Inter Milan, but it was not successful. The only "harvest" is the "sublimation" of the contradiction with Baggio.
200 1, Lippi returned to Juventus to coach. At the end of the season, the Serie A trophy, which had been in Rome for two years, was brought back to Turin. After the 2002-03 season, Juventus won the championship again, and the trophy remained in Turin, which made people in this city look forward to it proudly for another year.
As a coach, Lippi played 275 games in Serie A, of which 12 1 won, 84 drew and 70 lost. He always won five Serie A titles for Juventus, a European Champions Cup, a Toyota Cup, an Italian Cup, a European Super Cup and countless runners-up. He is also a Juventus after Platini.
In fact, Lippi's experience in Turin and the rise of Juventus, I am afraid there is no need to introduce them in detail. People know him just like their own growth experience, and it is well known that he has brought the championship glory to Juventus, just like the planet with a coefficient of 9.
In 2004, Lippi began a brand-new and greater course. He took over the coach of the Italian national team from trapattoni. For Lippi, this is a new challenge. Lippi's club career is really nothing to prove. He needs to go to a brand-new stage to write new legends. People say that Lippi's Italian team is very similar to Belzeaux in 1982. Perhaps this time, Lippi will really surprise people. Lippi is a man who is good at creating miracles and glories. In fact, Italy is the most popular winning team in every world series. Having excellent players and rich competition experience is their capital. Now the team has more capital to show off-they have an outstanding and talented coach, and maybe they have come to Germany.
Although the real test in the national team has not yet begun, Lippi has made a good plan for his future. After leaving the national team, he wants to return to the place where his glory began and teach in Naples, which is as beautiful as heaven in his heart. This is his first best memory. He hopes that he can lead this harbor team to re-establish a banner of southern Italian football. Lippi also has a wish to return to Sampdoria where he spent 12 youth. Although Mr. mantovani, the then chairman, has passed away, Lippi's promise to Mr. mantovani may never be forgotten in Lippi's mind.
