My name is Colani

Chapter 227: Impolite Old Man

Today, there were many fans watching the game at the Barbera Stadium. The seats of more than 30,000 people were basically full. The away team fan area belonged to Trapani fans, and there were also many Trapani fans in the home team's stands. The two places were relatively close. Some fans bought tickets for Palermo's home team and cheered in the sea-blue Trapani jerseys.

Barzagli's tackle was very clean, but he also received harsh boos from Palermo fans. The referee did not make any comments, but gave Palermo a sideline ball according to the facts.

Barzagli's actions were just the norm in this game. The two sides fought fiercely in the next game. In general, the confrontation was very strong, and it was not exciting at all.

"Penalty! Penalty! This is definitely a penalty!" Agostino shouted loudly in the live broadcast room.

Half an hour had passed unknowingly, and neither side was able to create any good opportunities. In the 22nd minute, Miku had a free kick 27 meters outside the penalty area. The angle was very tricky, but the Palermo goalkeeper still saved the ball. That was Trapani's most threatening shot in the first half.

In the 31st minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo got rid of Balzaretti's defense and made a cross. Toni was pulled down by the opponent's defender in the penalty area. This should be a penalty, but the referee did not say it.

This caused Agostino to shout and yell. The number of away fans was not large, but there were at least several thousand people. Everyone booed the referee crazily!

Hugo was in the stands, stretching his hands and cursing, so loud that even Zamparini, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, could hear it!

You deserve it, you little bastard! Zamparini cursed in his heart, and at the same time, he felt that he was lucky for Palermo, because this should indeed be considered a penalty, strictly speaking.

Looking at the tall and strong Tony, Zamparini couldn't help but envy him. Although Tony's performance seemed average now, Zamparini knew that this tall center forward could not be allowed to stand firm in the penalty area. Once he stood firm and passed the ball in place, he would be a huge threat!

On the court, Tony sat on the ground and shouted loudly to the referee, but the referee signaled him to get up quickly. This was not a penalty kick. Tony was so angry that he hammered the ground hard. If the opponent hadn't pulled him, he would have been very sure to reach the ball and head it into the goal of Palermo.

In any case, Trapani played like this in the first half. He didn't seize the two opportunities. At the halftime break, the score was zero to zero.

"Mr. Zamparini, I really admire your team. This is not a football game at all. This is a rugby game!" Hugo ridiculed Zamparini in the high-level lounge of the stadium.

From the perspective of fouls, Palermo committed many, and Trapani also committed many. Zeman still emphasizes technical offense and does not rely too much on physical strength. The team running-in condition of Palermo is worse than that of Trapani. There were many passing errors in the first half. The rest was active fighting. It is impossible not to commit many fouls, otherwise Trapani would have been able to break through them.

"You committed many fouls! This is part of football! You can't win this game!" Zamparini said confidently.

"What about the penalty in the 31st minute?! Toni was knocked down, and you escaped a penalty! This should be a penalty!" Hugo said angrily.

"I just want to say that I believe in the referee's judgment! Are Trapani's players little flowers in a greenhouse?! They can't withstand a little wind and rain! I think you are the same. You have to take a penalty in such a situation. You are as shameless as your team!" Zamparini scolded.

Instead of teasing, Hugo was humiliated by Zamparini. He could only sneer, "I hope you still have the energy to curse when the game is over!"

"I will, I'm in good spirits!" Zamparini shouted proudly.

"Okay, let's not waste energy on quarreling! I have something to talk to you about. I need friends, people who stand with us!" Hugo ended the boring quarrel between the two.

"You?! Who?! Who is in the same group with you?!" Zamparini asked vigilantly, feeling as if Hugo was going to trick people.

"Haha, you should look in the mirror! Look at your expression, you seem to be very worried. Do you think I will dig a trap for you?!" Hugo laughed twice and mocked.

"I should carefully consider every idea that comes out of your mouth!" Zamparini said seriously, which made Hugo angry, as if being Hugo's friend was a very unlucky thing.

"So you don't want to talk to me?!"

"Talk! Why not? Tell me what you want to say first?!"

"I want to ask you, you have a good relationship with the Sensi family, right?!"

"Yes, we have a good relationship!" Zamparini did not deny it.

His relationship with the Sensi family is not only good, but also close. Roma of the Sensi family is the pioneer of the anti-Northern Alliance. Franco Sensi has always claimed to be the spokesperson of small and medium-sized clubs, and often accused the strong teams in the north of monopolizing Italy's football voluntariness. On this point, he is consistent with Zamparini and Hugo.

The Sensi family has a long relationship with Roma, but their financial resources cannot be compared with those of the powerful powers in the north. Do you know why they won the Serie A championship in this gap? They relied on money, but This money was not invested by the Sensi family. In 2000, Roma was listed in Milan under the operation of the Sensi family. They raised money in the capital market and got a lot of money. Only then did they have the courage to invest heavily in the transfer market. The hard work will pay off. In return, they got their wish and won the Serie A championship.

The power of the Sensi family is also a force that cannot be ignored in the football circle. Hugo persuaded Galliani that everyone should unite. He also had to convince the Sensi family. Zamparini was responsible for the persuasion. Roma won the championship. This summer, national television However, they did not increase their live broadcast fees because of their championship in the 2001-2002 season. This made Roma very angry. In the summer, many people thought that Hugo jumped out to make trouble and it was the Sensi family who was behind it. But in fact, Hugo and They didn't know each other well at all and had never met each other once.

"Tell me, are the current live broadcast fees offered by national television reasonable?!" Hugo asked with a smile, and then answered himself, "It's unreasonable, I'm very dissatisfied! I think you are dissatisfied too!"

Zamparini nodded. If he was satisfied, probably few teams would be satisfied except for a few big clubs!

"We need to change this situation!" Hugo said firmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zamparini remembered that Hugo had been promoting his package sales theory a while ago. Zamparini felt that talking nonsense was a habit of Italians, so he didn't take it too seriously. At that time, he He also mocked Hugo for being a child, saying it was just farting and making fun. Now it sounds like what Hugo said is true and he really wants to seek change.

After Hugo finished speaking, Zamparini was tempted. If it was done well, it would definitely be of great benefit to the small club!

"I told you a long time ago that you are an insightful young man! It's true! Look, this is a good idea now! But it's not easy to reach consensus within the alliance on such a plan!" Zamparini sincerely said praised.

"I'll tell you the truth, if there are too many people who oppose it! It doesn't matter. I'm going to join other small teams to withdraw from the professional league. At worst, we can form a new league and establish a new league system! We have to pursue a packaging strategy. We really have few fans, but as long as I know how to operate, I won't be able to catch up with them in the future! They might even beg to join our minor league!" Hugo boasted.

Zamparini didn't believe this. He correctly understood that this was a reason that small clubs could use as a basis to threaten big clubs.

"If there really is a day, I will be the first to sign up! Palermo can also participate!" Zamparini smiled, and then said something serious, "I will call Mr. Sensi! I don't think he has any reason." I don’t support this idea!”

Zamparini said this to show that he was convinced. If this plan was adopted, the Sensi family would also be very likely to agree to such a plan.

When Hugo and Zamparini returned to the court, Hugo glanced at the scoreboard and was very happy. Trapani scored, the first goal, and less than 5 minutes after the kick-off of the second half. It was Miku who scored a tricky long shot. This time Palermo's goalkeeper failed to save his own goal.

"Hey, keep it up! Don't delay that old turtle Zamparini being fired!" Hugo said to Giorgio with a smile.

Zamparini is famous for his love of firing coaches, and there are only a handful of head coaches who can survive a season under him!

Zeman breathed a big sigh of relief on the edge of the court. This game is not actually a tough battle. Palermo is not Sampdoria. They have done a good job in defensive organization. This is a hand-to-hand battle. The physical contact between the two sides is really a little bit... Many, being able to score first is a major blow to Palermo, which was already undergoing a major overhaul.

The situation on the court reflected Zeman's expectations. Palermo's revamped players were knocked down by a goal and wanted to equalize the score as soon as possible. Their head coach Grellion was also very impatient and desperately directed the team forward. The result was that the defense became increasingly empty. Trapani scored three goals in less than ten minutes, and Toni and Meireles made contributions one after another.

At this time, the game lasted only more than 70 minutes.

When Hugo saw Zamparini leave the stadium without even finishing the game, he didn't even say hello to himself!

"What a rude old fellow!" Hugo muttered.

The senior management of Trapani were chatting and laughing, and they all lamented that Grellion should be dead soon!
