my name is colane

Chapter 356 84. Season Opening

"This draw is not bad for us! I don't think Valencia and Werder Bremen are much stronger than us. My opinion is that there are only 6 games in the group stage. Every game and every opponent is important for us. It is very important, as long as we play well in every game, I think we still have hope of qualifying!" Hugo said to the Italian media after the draw.

"This group is a very difficult group, but we are not afraid of any opponent!" Giorgio said in another interview.

Hugo's words revealed his inner desire. In fact, he still hopes that the team can qualify from the group. A reporter asked him, "Are you eager for your team to qualify?" !
"Of course, since we have entered the group stage, we don't have the mentality of playing 6 games and going through the motions! But this is not inconsistent with my original goal of setting no goals. It is a good thing to have expectations. Not being able to achieve it is another matter, right?!" Hugo said with a smile.

The reporters asked him to evaluate the group situation of several other Italian teams, but Hugo said: "I don't care about the situation of other teams!"

The draw ended, and the investigation team of the Italian Football Association and the Naples court also made the final ruling. Well, the verdict of the gambling case is very light. At present, some teams in Serie A are not implicated at all. Unfortunately, the low-level teams and players.

Because Hugo himself was also involved in a match-fixing case, it is inconvenient for him to express his opinion. If there is no match-fixing case, he will definitely criticize the Football Association investigation team. This is not a question of right or wrong, but a question of setting a benchmark. He must You have to let yourself stand alone, which is also a means of self-protection.

After the penalty was announced, the Football Association began to arrange for the opening of the new season, and the time was determined to open on September 9.

Immediately after the schedule came out, the current chairman of the Football Association is still Carraro, but what is rare is that Hugo's team did not receive special treatment. It should be said that the schedule is quite decent for Trapani .

The new season is about to start, and the major media have also begun to preview the season. The top four teams last season are naturally the focus of everyone's comments. Trapani has made progress this summer, and has introduced some new players, but the quality is very high. Well, at least on a resume.

Jankulovski, Ledesma, and Di Loreto all have rich experience in Serie A, plus Pizarro, who was transferred during the winter break last season, Trapani's actions in the transfer market Still very much in line with everyone's positioning for them.

It is difficult to introduce stars and supernovas, but Trapani is not inferior in the introduction of capable players.

"I've heard that Trapani wanted a lot of targets like Robben, Giuly, even Totti, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but they didn't make those transfers, mainly because they attracted Insufficient strength! But after missing these transfers, they have also received satisfactory supplements, and I think their transfer operations can score 7.5 points!" Football commentator Paolo Rossi said on the TV show.

"Paul, it seems that you have a high evaluation of Trapani's transfer, but why is it only 7.5 points!" The host asked with a smile.

"Because they failed to find a suitable replacement for Micoud! Micoud has proved himself through last season that it is nonsense to say that he cannot adapt to Serie A, but let's not forget that he is not young. It's hard to say how long the state of last season is, Trapani should have prepared earlier!" Rossi pointed out.

Sely would definitely want to complain, if the transfer was as simple as throwing money at it, it would be easy to handle. The key is that it is difficult to find such a player now. In terms of technical style, it is necessary to choose a player that suits Trapani. He doesn't trust young players very much, but who would be willing to sell mature and experienced players? !
So this summer, Zeman's request was very difficult to meet. Hugo didn't feel annoyed. Micoud seemed to be in good physical condition. He was injured some time ago, but now he has recovered quickly.

There are also various media ratings for Trapani’s transfer, with different opinions. Most of the ratings given are relatively impressive. They think that Trapani’s current situation can continue to compete for the top four rankings, even in the new season. They fight on three fronts.

Domenico, a reporter from the "New Sports" website, wrote an analysis of Trapani's outlook for the new season. It was very well written. She analyzed Trapani's advantages and disadvantages in detail.

Among them, she talked about Trapani's advantages: first, a stable team. The stable team she mentioned here refers to the overall team of the club. Unknowingly, Trapani has been in the hands of Hugo for 6 years. In the past six years, Trapani's leadership team has always been stable, there is no internal intrigue, and there is no fooling around in the team because of money. Domenico praised Trapani's management team as a A very good management team.

The second is that the age structure of the team is very reasonable. Many players have worked in Trapani for many years. Do a good job of stabilizing the morale of the army. In fact, those who are a little younger have played in Trapani for a long time. Mascherano, Evra, and Maggio have all played here for more than three years, even though they are very young. But the tacit understanding between the team is very good.

The third is that Trapani has his own football concept. The founder of this concept is Zeman. He injected the offensive factor into Trapani's tactics. Hugo pursued a relative balance between offense and defense last season. , but everyone should also see that Trapani is the team with the most goals besides Milan, Juventus and Roma.

……

Of course, if you talk about the good, you will also talk about the disadvantages. Domenico pointed out that Trapani's challenges in the new season come from injuries, Micoud's replacement, and the weak defense.

Domenico even predicted that Zeman's return may make Trapani's defense problems more serious. It is not unreasonable for Trapattoni to look down on Trapani's players.

In the Trapani headquarters office, Hugo looked at the beautiful reporter's comment with great interest, and couldn't help applauding. Many of the beautiful women's opinions were quite on his mind, and his thoughts were just after reading it. Just produced.

In fact, after resigning from the job of head coach, Hugo really doesn't think so much about the team's skills and tactics. If he is not in his position, he will not seek success. He believes that Zeman can do it. Besides, Hugo also hopes to see his own after class. The team played beautiful football. According to Zemande, it is good to win. In fact, it doesn't matter if you lose the ball. Hugo actually agrees with this.

However, Hugo admired Domenico's column analysis from the bottom of his heart. He called Lu Fan from the office next door to enjoy this article with him.

"Brother Fan, do you think it is necessary for me to recommend this article to the old man Zeman?!" Hugo asked with a smile.

"This?!..." Lu Fan didn't know what to say. As his personal security consultant, he was clear about the agreement reached between Hugo and Zeman. The verbal agreement stated that Hugo would not interfere with Zeman. technical and tactical choices.

What is it to recommend such an article now? !Express yourself implicitly? !I'm afraid Zeman will understand it that way!

"Forget it! Employers are not suspicious, suspects are not, I have committed an old problem!" Hugo waved his hands as if mocking himself.

"Haha, that's nothing! Just think of Berlusconi telling Ancelotti what to do! Does he know as much as you do?!" Lu Fan laughed.

"He is the prime minister, anyone can control him!" Hugo responded with a smile, and let the matter go.

After the national team match day, the league officially kicked off, Trapani's first round match was against Parma.

The situation of Parma is very bad. They have been entrusted by the government. The collapse of Parmalat has caused them to keep buying blood to make a living. Of course, there will be signings, but their strength has declined rapidly!
