My name is Colani

The Italian Serie C actually has two levels, one is the C1 League and the other is the C2 League. The C2 League is divided into three groups according to regions, while the C1 League has only two groups. Trapani is in Group C of the C2 League. The teams in this group are all from the southern region, while the teams in Groups A and B are from the central and northern regions of Italy.

Theoretically, Group C has certain advantages for rich people. In the southern region, the strength of the teams is generally weak. As long as they are willing to invest money, they can still quickly improve the strength of the team and achieve the goal of upgrading. Of course, football is not as easy as money. Besides, Hugo didn't invest much money. This is the case in the new season.

Looking around, Trapani is a group of young people, young bosses, young head coaches and young players.

After discussing with the coaching staff, Hugo did not make up his mind. He knew what price he had to pay to recruit veterans, so he was very hesitant. It was not until these few days on the training ground that he felt that this group of young people was more and more unreliable that he made a decision.

Among this group of young players, the two Portuguese players are particularly annoying. When they are alone, they seem to be excellent. Bosingwa is very fast, his crosses are reliable, and his technical movements are solid. Meireles also has solid basic skills. However, these two guys don't understand what the coach says. They seem out of tune with each other on the training ground and don't get along with their teammates.

Of course, it's not just them who don't get along. The whole team is like this. They seem very unfamiliar and everyone's thoughts can't be the same. Trapani was not like this last season. Even without Allegri, the players of the whole team still have a tacit understanding with each other.

"If this goes on, let alone promotion this season, even relegation is a problem!" Hugo seemed very angry, but he knew that the problem was not with the players, and even if they were responsible, it was not the main responsibility.

It stands to reason that the quality of this group of young players is better than the local amateur players in Trapani last season, but it is more difficult to use them.

"Let's not rush, let's see what these guys are capable of before making a decision!" Barrias persuaded, but in his heart he thought that this problem was not caused by you. The players have been here for a few days, and the training is mainly physical training, but Hugo and Allegri are not responsible, and have never sent any signals to these young people in terms of tactics, that is, how these players should play.

In the 7-on-7 training match, everyone is doing their own thing, and it looks awkward.

"We can't wait any longer, let's figure out a tactic first! It won't work if we don't explain it to them clearly, they play too freely!" Allegri has some enlightenment.

"I think the team can change to 433. Our Pepe and Menela on the wing are very fast, and they can cause a great impact on the opponent's defense. The most important thing is that you can see that their characteristics are hard work, they are very active on the court, and even in training, their attitude is more correct, unlike Brody!" Barrias made his own evaluation.

Brody, the rookie on loan from Juventus's youth training camp, the one who negotiated with Hugo.

This guy? ! Hugo couldn't see why he was lazy, but he didn't react after hearing what Barrias said. He was on loan, so he could be lazy. Anyway, he didn't spend a penny, and he still paid his salary. When the time comes, he will be sent to play in garbage time, and he will have 20 appearances a year, which will be considered as a report to Juventus.

Barrias hopes Hugo will react. He and Hugo think completely differently. Brody's laziness is just as Hugo thinks. No matter what Trapani does, but as the saying goes, one rat's shit spoils the whole pot of soup. If the team doesn't criticize Brody, it is hard to guarantee that other players will follow suit. This is of great significance to the team, so Barrias thinks Hugo should criticize him by name during the assembly to let Brody get a warning.

"The double tower tactics last season were actually pretty good!" Allegri objected in a gentle tone.

"It's different now, we have a better choice! I agree to continue to use Luca as the attacking core of the frontcourt, but we can't rely on him too much! Ahem, in fact, he also has his moments of misfire! Last season's offensive means were too simple, I think we should enrich them this season! We have the conditions now!" Barrias still insisted on his opinion, and he had reasons.

How about Pepe and Menela? ! Hugo also saw that Pepe came from the Roma youth training camp, and now it seems that his speed is very good, his shooting and passing skills are average, but it is good enough for the C2 League. As Barrias said, this guy is very hardworking, maybe he feels that he is not a big shot, so he works very hard.

As for Menela who was loaned from Palermo, Hugo felt that this was a surprise just like everyone else. Menela was short, only a little over 1.7 meters tall, but fast, very good at dribbling, and had a good combination of man and ball. At first, Barrias and others didn't understand why Palermo was willing to loan such a good attacker to them, but after a few days of observation, they found that this guy was talented and very hardworking, but the key was that he liked to show off too much, breaking through in the frontcourt by himself. If most of the team members were not Italians who could summon him with words, he would be even less sociable than Meireles and Bosingwa.

But this guy is very sociable off the court, and he can chat with everyone!

With these two wingers, Hugo felt that Barrias was right. We should not rely too much on Tony's height and strength and excellent headers in offense, and there should be more changes.

"I think Michele's idea is good! In the new season, we will play 433 and focus on attack. I hope this attack formation, and I hope our team can play more beautifully! Last season, well, it still looked a bit monotonous and boring!" Hugo said to several coaches.

Then he followed up with: "Uncle, Michele, Massimo and Andrea, you guys should discuss and work out a feasible tactical arrangement! We have to hurry up to take tactical classes, otherwise these guys don't know what to do on the court, it's a mess!"

"What about you?!" Barrias asked.

"Ahem, I have something else to do. I'll go first. I'm going to see Seli! Aren't you looking for a veteran? I'll go talk to him. Damn, these guys are really too young. They need experienced veterans to lead them!" Hugo said with two fake coughs. He didn't want to discuss boring tactical arrangements with these coaches. Tactics are not just about formulating a formation. It is also necessary to consider how to achieve offensive and defensive transitions, what responsibilities each person should bear, how to stand in defense, how to run in offense, and explain them clearly to the players. Last season, Allegri did this work and did it very roughly, but the players before were robots who were completely at the mercy of him. It's hard to say about this season.

Several coaches were speechless immediately, but they accepted Hugo's skipping work again. Anyway, he was like this. This head coach was just a title.

Hugo left the training ground in the afternoon and went to the headquarters near the stadium. When he arrived at Seli's office, Seli was answering the phone. After signaling Hugo with his eyes, he continued to chat with the other party. Hugo was not in a hurry. He sat down and took out his mobile phone to play Snake until Seli finished the call.

"Someone actually recommended players to you?!" Hugo asked in confusion.

"Haha, Gigi, I think you underestimated the influence of the team! I do have a lot of agents and scouts here who are selling players to me! Do you know how Grosso came? He was recommended by his agent!" Seli took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and laughed.

"Oh, I never thought that we are famous now!" Hugo was a little happy. The advantage of fame is that it can attract some players.

"Ahem, but don't think too much, they are here for the money!" Seli pointed out, "We should still do business down to earth like before. I will still go around and see who is worth recruiting!"

Trapani's reputation became famous along with Hugo. Hugo is already a billionaire, well, maybe just over 100 million, but in everyone's eyes, he is a rich man, and the team controlled by the rich is going to burn money. Some people want to make a fortune here, but Trapani has Seli, who is not so stupid, and Trapani's established policy is to find young players to train, and young players don't have much money.

"I came here today to tell you that the team is now full of young people, which is not acceptable. Allegri and others also said that it is not acceptable. They hope to introduce two or three veterans who can help the team stabilize the morale on the court! So I hope you can find some such talents. I will find a way to pay the salary, and you will do the rest!" Hugo stated his requirements.

Seli was scratching his head. He was not a coach, but he knew something. The role of veterans was to use their experience on the court. For example, in a game, the team might be oppressed by the opponent at a certain time. Young players might not be able to stabilize under such pressure and collapse if they are not careful. With veterans, such things might not happen. They know how to resolve such pressure and how to guide the operation of the team.

Previously, he told Hugo that he wanted to introduce an old goalkeeper, but the purpose was not this. The important thing was to provide experience for Kameni.

Now Hugo has such a request. Seli thought about it and said to Hugo: "In fact, some people have recommended veterans to me during this period. I think it is not cost-effective, so I turned it down!"

What is not cost-effective is the money. Some agents clearly think that there is a rich man behind Trapani and want to recommend their veterans to make money. Their contract period will not be too long, and there will basically be no transfer fee, but the income may definitely be higher than Allegri's salary. Seli certainly thinks this is not cost-effective. The team also has a salary budget in mind, and exceeding the budget is not a good thing.
