Chapter 180 Friendly match with Milan 3

After the adjustment, the Milan players probably knew Trim's determination to win this friendly match, and they performed more actively on the court.

Trapani's players were stimulated by the goal and performed more bravely. Today's midfield configuration is still Meireles and Lombardo. Lombardo is a little old, but in Mazzarri's tactical role, he has reduced the chances of inserting since last season. In this game, he mainly participated in defense. His defensive ability is weak, but with him around, Meireles is much more outstanding, because Lombardo and Meireles have a tacit understanding. The two of them have partnered for a whole season, old and young.

Meireles' mental state was not very good in the first half, but it improved a lot in the second half. Barzagli and the Brazilian central defender nicknamed Pepe also played very poorly in the first half. They did not have enough tacit understanding and both liked to grab the ball. Especially Pepe, he made Hugo very angry in the first half. At least twice, he was easily gotten rid of by Shevchenko. Fortunately, there was Kameni, who was fast and a goalkeeper who liked to attack. He moved in advance and resolved Shevchenko's single-handed attack.

Maybe Hugo scolded them and they became more honest on the defense line. Barzagli turned into a man-marking central defender and specifically marked Shevchenko.

Milan played a little unsmoothly in the middle and often passed the ball to both sides. However, Mazzarri sent Evra and Maggio to increase the defensive strength of the wing and provide support for the central defense.

So Milan, who wanted to score, controlled the situation, but the opportunities they created were far less than in the first half.

"Look, Gag, how is my team?" Hugo didn't mind the ugly scene now. Trapani's defensive tactics in this game were quite good. Seeing Milan's inaction, Hugo said to Galliani with a smug look on his face.

"To be fair?!" Galliani laughed.

"To be fair!" Hugo really wanted to get Galliani's affirmation.

"The first half was really bad. They looked really chaotic. We should have locked the victory in the first half. It's a pity that we didn't seize the opportunity! In the second half, they impressed me. They are really a good group of young people. What's the name of your head coach?!" Galliani asked.

"Walter Mazzari!"

"This young man has some level!" Galliani commented.

"Hehe!" Hugo laughed dryly twice and said nothing. He would rather attribute the credit for the second half to his "motivation" during the halftime break. Young people just need some stimulation. Hugo believes that what he said made these young people completely let go and the fighting passion was released.

Hugo is right to think so. Trapani had such a problem last season. The young players were not stable enough. Sometimes Trapani performed very badly, but they had veterans and stable Toni. Sometimes they won the game even if it was not good.

Galliani was watching the two teams' games seriously in the second half. Trapani also had a few players he liked, one was Kameni, one was Toni, and the other was the young midfielder Meireles.

Meireles is a lucky guy. If he changed to other teams, he would never be able to play as a starter so easily. Trapani had a big change last year. Hugo wanted to play offense, and the midfielder focused on control ability. Meireles was comprehensive, but not mature enough overall, so he could not play as a starter. But Mazzarri's arrival changed his mind. He wanted a defensive player with strong midfield coverage ability.

Is Meireles strong in defense? ! That's not the case, but he can run and fight very actively. Like Mascherano, he has a good speed and can go up and down, left and right. He impressed Mazzarri with the ball in the first half. From then on, Allegri unfortunately became the water dispenser caretaker, and he became the main force that no one could shake. Meireles played the most times throughout the season. He and Bosingwa were silent people before, but now because he played well and developed well, he finally got along with everyone in the locker room.

As a main force for a year, Meireles has made great progress in both offense and defense. Of course, for a giant like Milan, such a player still has a lot of room for improvement, but it is enough to be a reserve player. Meireles is only 18 years old.

"You have many outstanding young people in your team!" Galliani said with a smile.

"What do you want to do?!" Hugo was very alert. On the one hand, this guy was originally doing business, and there were very few non-saleable items. On the other hand, he was afraid that his players would be seduced by a big team like Milan, and the team's strength would be affected. In short, he was very entangled.

Seeing Hugo's nervous expression, as if he was about to turn his face, Galliani didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Gigi, the team always has to have both inflows and outflows! I promise you that I will never do anything to you this summer! But we are friends, right? If you want to sell players in the future, can you tell me first?!" Galliani said with a smile.

"This is good for you. Think about it. It's better for two teams to join the competition than only one!" Galliani blinked, and Hugo understood what he meant. Milan could help him raise the price.

"This is possible!" Hugo said with a smile, and then thought that this old fox must have taken a fancy to someone, so he said so, so he asked: "Gigi, tell me who you have taken a fancy to?!"

Galliani pointed at Meireles who had just intercepted the ball from Kaladze and said, "This boy is good. What's his name?!"

"Raul Meireles. Portuguese!" It turned out to be Meireles. Hugo breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he couldn't sell him now, but he couldn't say for sure in the future. Trapani actually has a lot of midfielders. Meireles can be good, but he lacks characteristics. He lacks certain characteristics to impress Hugo's determination to stay.

"You are really good. Your business is so far-reaching. I think you are almost an international column here!" Galliani teased, of course there was a hint of surprise. It is rare for such a small club to reach so far. Look at Hugo's team, South Americans, Africans, Europeans, and only Asians are missing.

Hugo thought to himself that he was also forced.

"What can I do?! Jiagong, our small club is not like you, it is not attractive at all. Italy, do you think the south is a place where good players are produced?! Our youth training camp is hard to find young players willing to join us in Italy. We have no choice but to look abroad!" Hugo said helplessly.

Trapani is not the only one who does this. Marsala is Trapani's neighbor. Didn't they have to find Evra from France? And Evra became a main player in Marsala after coming here, which led to his experience in Monza later. The teams in Sicily are short of people. It is foreseeable that Trapani and Marsala will do this one after another. Let's see in the future. The Sicilian team will be a springboard for many South American teams to land in Europe.

Galliani couldn't help but smile and nodded. What Hugo said was true. Even some good seedlings in the south went to the north. They joined Milan's youth training, joined Atlanta, joined Juventus, and joined Inter Milan. They didn't want to stay in the south. It was really difficult for these clubs in the south to recruit players. Of course, if you want to play badly, there is no problem. There are bad players everywhere. Didn't Hugo also announce it at the beginning and several applicants came.

"I will let the scouts come to investigate that Meireles. Do you have any objection?!" Galliani said.

"I have no objection, but it's not possible this year. Whether it will be released next year depends on the situation of the team!" Hugo said, "But I can guarantee that if there is any intention, I am willing to notify you and let you participate in the competition!"

"Can't I get the right of first refusal?! Boy, you can't always taste the sweetness from me and don't want to pay a little?!" Galliani laughed and scolded.

"You are right. At the same price, you can get the limited purchase right!" Hugo agreed.

The two chatted for a few words on the court and began to pay attention to the game again. Milan's momentum was lost after the 80th minute. After all, it was a friendly match for them. It was a bit embarrassing to say, but after a siege, they were helpless in the face of Trapani, who was united.

Moreover, the young players of Trapani were very fierce, as if they were desperate to defend this draw. The players of Milan really didn't want to get hurt.

Trim had no choice but to replace players one by one, but he couldn't equalize the score until the end of the game. The Trapani stadium was full of cheers. They actually beat the powerful Milan. The Milan players who didn't care anymore heard the cheers, not to mention how uncomfortable they felt. Trim was probably even more uncomfortable. He didn't expect that the new season hadn't arrived yet, and they fell to the C1 League team first.

Galliani's face was not good either. Compared with Trapani, Milan lacked the determination and courage to win. However, considering that Trapani had never played against the giants Milan since its establishment, this kind of chicken blood performance was understandable.

"Congratulations, Gigi, your team won!" Galliani generously extended his hand.

He rarely went to watch friendly matches in person, but this time it was Hugo's invitation, so he came. Who would have thought that Milan would make things difficult for him.

"Hehe, luck, luck!" Hugo said luck, but the pride on his face could not be concealed.

"Haha, it's a pity that you are in the C1 League, otherwise we can still fight in the league!" Galliani couldn't stand Hugo's pride and couldn't help but sneer.

Hugo's face really became embarrassed, "Sooner or later there will be such a day, I won't let you wait too long! Gagong!"
