My name is Colani

Deco relied on the subsequent buyout fee to become a big star in the Italian football world. Even Moggi called Hugo to ask, "Who is the Deco you bought?!"

"It's hard to say whether he is a god, Alex, but you know I have money and I like to gamble!" Hugo boasted.

There is still a week before the opening of the league. Hugo made full use of the popularity of this wave of transfers and arranged for fans to welcome Deco's arrival. Deco has played football for so many years and has not enjoyed such treatment. Hundreds of fans welcomed him at the Pacheco training base.

Mazzari's current mood can only be described as a cool word. Bosses who are willing to spend money are always easy to get the favor of the head coach. Although there are all kinds of contradictions, Mazzari now likes Hugo. He is also unaware of this deal, but he likes the boss to buy people very much. From his experience, he believes that the club's top management is not stupid. The people who are bought have shining points. Since Deco has spent so much money, there can only be many shining points.

Of course, he also has troubles. Deco joined the team a little late. It may take some time for him to adapt to the team. He prayed that Deco could get familiar with his tactics as soon as possible and live up to his high price.

Hugo certainly would not go to meet Deco. He met Deco on the training ground. This Brazilian player is very low-key and performs very seriously on the training ground. He looks ordinary and looks like an old farmer. Hugo secretly complained that this guy should not rent a fake.

After observing for a few days, Hugo also found some characteristics of Deco. His vision is outstanding, his passing is ordinary, but his accuracy is very high. He is Brazilian, his feet are fast, his skills are also outstanding, and he will not lose the ball easily.

Mazzarri is also happy about Deco. He did not have much fame before, but he certainly has strength. He is indeed one of the best players in the team. His advantage over Lombardo is that he is younger and more active than Lombardo. His speed is not fast, but he runs more.

However, in the first game of the season, Mazzarri had to put Deco on the bench. Deco was not familiar with the 442 style of play, and he was familiar with the position of attacking midfielder. Mazzarri had asked Deco to play in the midfield position of 442, but Deco's performance was very average.

Mazzarri had no idea how to arrange Deco.

There are two groups in the Italian Football League C1. The first place in each group directly advances to the Serie B. The two groups are divided into Group B with Rome as the middle line. The central and northern regions are Group B, and the central and southern regions are Group A. Trapani is in Group A.

This season, there is another team in Sicily, Catania, which will also compete in the League C1 like Trapani. The two teams will play the Sicily Derby in Group A.

Trapani has a good schedule. The first round is at home. The opponent they meet is Castello di Sangro, a team located in the Abruzzo region. It is not strong. Last year, it ranked in the middle and lower reaches of Group A in the League C1. After the start of the new season, they have neither the money to operate transfers like Trapani nor the salary space to attract players like Trapani.

Hugo often said that he had no money to spend on transfers, but compared to other teams in the C1 League, Trapani was actually a rich team. Many teams were dissatisfied with Trapani. They resented Trapani for raising the salary space. This was unreasonable. In many C1 League teams, the salaries of players could not compare with the per capita income in Italy. The football world was a world with a big gap between the rich and the poor. However, Trapani's salary space was envied by many players, so how could other clubs not hate them?

On the afternoon of September 2, the first game of the new season of the 2001-2002 C1 League was kicked off at the Trapani Stadium. Trapani was filled with thousands of fans, all of whom were Trapani fans.

Hugo's original plan had been realized. He demolished the team's office headquarters near the Trapani Stadium and built a new office building. The first floor was a fan supplies store, specializing in the business of fans.

The poor people in Hugo's eyes are becoming more and more generous now. They silently accept the 15 euro ticket price of Trapani, spend money in the fan store, buy various supplies, and the fan store is doing a booming business.

Hugo sat on the bench, dressed neatly. This guy is still a member of Trapani in the new season. Last season, he only got less than 90 minutes of playing time, but Hugo still insisted on being next to the water dispenser.

Next to him is another substitute of the team, Piolo. Piolo's salary is average. Like Hugo, he is a perennial substitute in the team, but his playing time is much more than Hugo. This summer, he has received invitations from other teams in C1, but he refused. He would rather be a substitute here, where the salary is higher. Piolo, who knows his own weight, is very pragmatic. It is more appropriate to treat playing football as a job. If you can't play as a starter, it is an easy job, and if you play as a starter, it is just a hard job.

Seli wants to sell him, but Hugo is dispensable. It's good that Piolo doesn't leave. After all, this guy has been with him all the way. The most commendable thing about Piolo is that he has figured it out now. Unlike before, he always wanted to play. Now he is content to be a substitute. When he is on the bench, he is absolutely active and hardworking, fulfilling his duties. Is there a better substitute than this? !

Hugo thought that there was no chance anyway, so Piolo chose to stay, and Hugo was also welcoming. With the flow of people, Hugo now rarely communicates with other players in the team. Sitting next to the "water dispenser", at least he still has this old friend to accompany him.

Evra, Luriga, Deco, Belluschi, Natali, Balzaretti, Maggio, Padoin and others are all sitting on the bench. These players are looking forward to their chances to play today, but Mazzarri is still used to using old people.

Last season, he only adjusted two positions in his starting lineup. One is Pepe replacing Victor and partnering with Barzagli as a central defender, and the other is Miccoli replacing Simone. Pepe went to the left to play as a winger.

"How about a bet?! Vincent! 50 euros, I guess we will win by three goals today!" Hugo whispered to Piolo confidently.

"Gigi, I guess two goals!" Piolo stretched out his hand and shook Hugo's hand to indicate the deal.

With the cheers of the fans, the players of both sides appeared on the court. After the ceremony, the game between the two sides officially began. Mazzarri looked grim and stood at the side of the court with his hands behind his back. This game was very important to him. He also hoped that the team would get off to a good start and make a good start for his performance in the new season.

From the summer transfer, Mazzarri now has to admit that the top management has not let him down, and he himself has confronted the great and wise chairman in person. If he cannot create good results by relying on these players, Mazzarri can imagine that Hugo, who is not very fond of him, may fire him.

After the game started, Castello Sangro was not conservative at all. As their head coach Bruno told them in the locker room, "They are just a newly promoted team. Even if they may get more salary than you, it does not mean that they are better than you. Now is the best time to prove yourself!"

Casello Sangro proved itself by being brave and firmly implementing the tactical arrangements of the head coach. Their players may not be as capable as Trapani, but they are more fierce than Trapani's players. Bruno is not a fool. He has coached in low-level leagues for 20 years. He has studied Trapani's tactical play last season and made many targeted tactical arrangements on the court.

In comparison, Mazzarri was obviously a little arrogant. He did not know much about Castello Sangro and trusted his team.

As a result, Bruno, who was serious, had the upper hand at the beginning. This advantage was in ball control. Mazzari rarely adopted the tactic of high-position pressing. Since you don't want me to lose the ball in the front court, why don't I control the ball in the back court? Anyway, it's worth it if I can get a draw at your home court.

"That won't work!" Hugo frowned. Mazzari was a little conservative. He wanted to be safe in the first game of the new season, but Hugo didn't think he could win in this way.

Mazzari also frowned. Sangro Castle didn't follow the routine of the general team. It was agreed that you punched and I kicked, but why didn't I see you punching? You are just wasting time. He cursed Bruno for being shameless in his heart and thought about what to do.

Mazzarri did not adjust the tactics immediately, but now the players on the Trapani field were very depressed. When they had the ball, they always faced the opponent's crazy siege. When they didn't have the ball, they didn't know how to move or how to press, because the opponent rarely moved the ball to the periphery of Trapani's penalty area.

The fans in the stands were very dissatisfied. They saw that Castello di Sangro was not here to win the game, but to get a point. The boos were flying everywhere, which made Mazzarri feel uncomfortable. He thought the fans were booing him, but in fact, the fans had a better impression of him because Mazzarri was a meritorious coach.

"Walter, it's time to make some changes! We have such strength, why should we let the players shrink back!" The one who gave Mazzarri advice was assistant coach Michele Barrias.

"Well, maybe I'm too conservative!" Mazzarri said as if admitting it.

Mazzarri quickly began to move his team forward and began to actively press, preventing Sangroburg from passing the ball comfortably in the backcourt. At this time, half an hour had passed in the game. Bruno couldn't help laughing at Mazzarri's reaction at this time. This young head coach's reaction was really a bit slow.

His condition was not good enough these two days
