My name is Colani
Chapter 430 158 International War of Words
In late February, the Champions League resumed. Trapani's schedule from January to February was quite dense, and the team's injuries began to increase. They defeated Juventus away in the Italian Cup, but returned to their home court and defeated Trapani in turn. Eliminating Trapani with an advantage in the total score was a revenge.
However, in the league, Trapani still suppressed Juventus. After 26 rounds of the league, Trapani had 21 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, with 66 points, while Juventus had 20 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, with 64 points, ranking second.
During this period, the team suffered injuries, and Deschamps had to deal with the subsequent dense schedule and often rotated, but their state was surprisingly good, and there was no decline in results.
However, before the away game against Glasgow Rangers, Trapani's bad luck came. Toni was seriously injured in the game against Lecce and will be absent for about two months. Toni is Trapani's goal king this season. He has scored 26 goals in 26 league rounds, averaging just 1 goal per game. This is his best season and his performance is extremely stable!
Then Ribery, who was trapped by the renewal and Juventus transfer rumors, also suffered an injury and had to miss a month. Barzagli, who was injured on the back line, had to miss about two weeks.
Deschamps felt a headache. Kluivert, who transferred during the winter break, was not convincing. He played 8 times, including two starts and six substitutes, and did not score a goal. This efficiency is really disappointing.
The young striker Borello, who was loaned from Milan, has played more than ten substitutes so far and has not scored a goal.
The reason why Trapani can achieve the current results is almost entirely due to the main starters. The substitute striker or the wing contributes too little.
Deschamps is not the only one who can see the problem. Many Italian media also sang elegy for Trapani. Previously, Glasgow Rangers was the best draw among Italian teams. However, without Toni, everyone would definitely underestimate Trapani's style.
On the evening of February 22, Trapani and Glasgow Rangers played the first round at Ibrox Stadium. Deschamps still adhered to the 442 formation, and Kluivert got the starting position again.
The home courts of the two Scottish Premier League giants Celtic and Glasgow Rangers are known as the devil's home courts in the European arena. Trapani played very badly in this devil's home court, and his state was not good. The partnership of Delas and Samuel on the back line made frequent mistakes.
Glasgow Rangers adheres to a tough style of play, which is even better than the Premier League teams. With a tough defensive posture and resolute counterattacks, Trapani suffered a 0:1 defeat in Glasgow and was at a disadvantage in the promotion station.
Trapani, who is known for their attacking ability, didn't even score a single away goal. Hugo couldn't help but complain in an interview after the game: "Maybe they were too weak at Ibrox!"
In his mind, none of the starting players of this team were weak!
Of course, he also had to blame the opponent's rough moves and the referee Borat's whistle for being useless!
"Their actions were too rough. This is a football match, not rugby! I think they should play rugby!"
"Borat didn't even bring a whistle. He turned a blind eye to some rough fouls! Pizarro is now diagnosed with a knee sprain, and Barry Ferguson, who fouled him maliciously, didn't even get a yellow card. I want to ask the UEFA Referee Committee whether such a standard should be in the Champions League!"
"The Champions League stage is the highest level of football in the world, but this is not a boxing ring. We certainly approve of physical contact, but rough actions are another matter!"
Hugo made a lot of ridicule on Glasgow Rangers, implying that Glasgow Rangers were not worthy of appearing on the Champions League stage.
In addition to criticizing the poor performance of the team's players, Deschamps also expressed dissatisfaction with Glasgow Rangers' rough actions. He believed that Barry Ferguson's action of tackling Pizarro from behind in the 65th minute should be punished. He hinted that his compatriot referee Borat was frightened by the atmosphere of Ibrox Stadium and did not have the courage to whistle Glasgow Rangers for a rough foul.
Trapani's remarks will naturally cause a strong counterattack from Glasgow Rangers. Glasgow Rangers Chairman Murray was furious. Does this damn Hugo have any sense of shame? I at least treated you to a dinner and we had a good chat. As soon as the game was over, you started to scold me. Is this what a human being does? !
Italians are indeed shameless, and Sicilians are especially shameless!
"Football is a man's game. They keep talking like a woman after the game! It's annoying!"
Murray didn't realize that his words had become a handle for women's rights defenders. Later, women's rights activists in Scotland asked Murray to apologize for what he said. Now Murray had no idea that his words would cause a feminist storm.
To be honest, Murray has never encountered such shamelessness. Hugo also scolded the fans at that time, saying that they were all bastards, which caused widespread dissatisfaction among the fans and many denounced them, but Hugo shamelessly hid and no one could do anything to him. Murray still had some face and finally apologized.
"In my opinion, they just can't afford to lose, and they don't respect the referee. I saw them put pressure on Borat many times on the court. This is their usual trick. I'm not surprised at all!"
"I don't think it's meaningful to say these things after the game!" Murray concluded with a rather contemptuous tone.
The British media and the Italian media had a war of words, Zamparini made fun of Hugo, and the verbal cannon has become internationalized and has begun to go out of Italy and into Europe!
Back to Trapani, Trapani played at home in the 27th round of the league, against Livorno at home. Livorno's performance this season is very good. It currently ranks sixth with 43 points. Their home performance is particularly good. Their good performance has a lot to do with Trapani.
Because Lucarelli returned to Livorno during the summer transfer, he was highly valued in Livorno and got stable playing time. Specifically on the field, Lucarelli also broke out. So far, he has helped Livorno score 18 goals in the league. You must know that Livorno has only scored 30 goals in total, and nearly two-thirds of them were scored by Lucarelli alone.
How can Livorno not thank Trapani?!
In general, Livorno's offensive strength is not strong. They scored the fewest goals among the top six players, but their defense is comparable to Trapani. In 26 league rounds, they conceded less than one goal per game on average, and they only conceded 15 goals in 12 away games!
After the fierce battle in the middle of the week, Deschamps made some personnel adjustments. Kluivert's performance in the middle of the week was disappointing. Deschamps sent the young player Borriello to the court and changed the formation to 433.
But the impact of injuries on Trapani is too great. Miku and Pizarro are absent, and the midfield is defensive midfield, which greatly reduces the control. It's not that the players don't work hard, but the reality is like this. Almost relying on Messi, it is normal for Trapani to not score.
0:0 draw, Trapani lost the victory at home. After the game, many media began to say that Trapani's lineup was not deep enough and the successors were weak, and they might have nothing to show for it.
Some media even criticized Deschamps for selectively giving up the Coppa Italia, because in the second round of the Coppa Italia, Deschamps had 5 substitutes, and it would be strange if they didn't lose to Juventus!
Deschamps really wanted to cry but had no tears. It's really not my fault. More competitions mean a more intensive schedule. What else can I do if I don't rotate? !
