My name is Colani

The live broadcast of the Barbera Stadium loudly announced the starting lineups of the two teams. For Roma:

Goalkeeper: Antonioli

Defenders: Kufre Samuel Aldair Candela

Midfielders: Satore Emerson Dacote Bombadini

Forward: Montella Delvecchio

Serie A has been popular with three defenders in recent years. In the season when Roma won the championship, Capello knew how to appoint the right players and often played with three defenders in Roma, but now this system no longer exists. As the players of the team get older and their ability to run up and down becomes weaker, Roma began to use a four-defender formation.

The lineup of Roma in today's Italian Cup is basically composed of substitutes. Aldair is already 37 years old. He was going to leave and retire at the end of the 2002 season. As a result, Roma failed to find a new central defender. He agreed to stay and play for another year. He is a loyal servant of Roma.

Sator is a youth player produced by Juventus. He has been to many teams and came to Rome. His position is a substitute type. Bombadini went to Rome from Palermo last summer. He is a midfielder. He played 33 times in Palermo last season, scored 7 goals and contributed 10 assists. He was selected by Roma for his performance, but he was also a substitute. He didn't get a few opportunities to play in Rome in the first half of the season.

Montella is not very trustworthy by Capello. Since Batistuta's condition is really a bit poor in Roma's forward group, Montella has got some opportunities to play this season, but his goal efficiency is average.

Delvecchio is worse than Montella. In the past few seasons, Montella may be regarded as a rotation main force. Delvecchio is a solid substitute. He has not played many times and has not scored many goals.

However, he has an advantage that he can play as a striker or a midfielder. In short, he is a more practical player.

Dacot is a Frenchman who just transferred to Roma in the winter window.

Compared with Roma's lineup dominated by substitutes, Zeman's side seems to be much more important, and the main force is sent.

Today, the Barbera Stadium was full of spectators. To be honest, when Hugo came to the VIP seats, he was surprised. How can we have so many fans? !

These people are of course not only from the province of Trapani, but also from other places in Sicily. They like Trapani because of the beauty of their offensive football, because they like Luca Toni, Miku, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zeman, or even Hugo, the boss, who is a big celebrity.

When the broadcast read out Trapani's appearance list, the effect was different, "Luca..."

"Toni!" The fans shouted like thunder, followed by applause, cheers and whistles. From the news media, everyone knows that there are rumors of Toni's transfer every season, but Trapani's greatest captain, who may have been the greatest captain in history (Toni, who scored 69 goals for Trapani, is still the best scorer in history), has never said that he wants to transfer and is deeply loved by Trapani fans.

Capello walked towards the coaching booth. Zeman had already come out. Seeing Capello, he walked over. The two did not communicate much. They just shook hands and then separated. Looking at the full stadium, Capello shuddered in his heart. Maybe it would not be so easy today.

Today's match is against Roma, which is a strong team. Not only are the fans very enthusiastic, but Hugo is also very enthusiastic. He invited all the employees of his company to watch the game and cheer for Trapani together.

Julia Bonaparte was also invited. Besides, she was still Hugo's rumored girlfriend. Julia Bonaparte sat on Hugo's left and Franco Sensi sat on Hugo's right.

Hugo and Franco were discussing things in a low voice. Franco Sensi was selling his players. To be precise, he wanted to dump Guardiola to Hugo.

"Gigi, Guardiola's type of player is exactly what you need. He has rich experience. The reason why you were so good last season was because you had Lombardo and Amor. This season, just Miku is obviously not enough. If you want your team to be promoted, then you need a player like Guardiola!"

Why did Franco Sensi promote Guardiola so hard? Because after Guardiola went to Rome for free, he was not very popular with Capello. Injuries and other factors led to Guardiola's only two pitiful appearances in the first half.

Guardiola's salary in Rome was not cheap. Guardiola kept making trouble. Franco Sensi dreamed of sending Guardiola out in the winter window.

"I don't want to use him! He is a "problematic" player!" Hugo shook his head. Guardiola has a history of doping. When he was in Brescia, his urine tests were positive twice. He said he was wronged, but everyone would say they were wronged. Hugo believed this was true. In Serie A, he was not the only one who had problems with urine tests. Guardiola, Davis, and Stam all had problems in this regard.

In Trapani, Hugo strictly prohibited doping. The medical center has formulated rules that absolutely prohibit the use of doping ingredients when giving players medication, and Hugo has repeatedly ordered the players not to use doping!

Hugo has many enemies. If such a thing happens to the team, it will definitely harm others and themselves, so he has always been on guard. For players like Guardiola, maybe he doesn't have it or maybe he does, who cares, anyway, he has to stay away from them.

"Problematic players?! Are there not enough problematic players now?!" Franco Sensi sneered, "Even if he has, that's the past! He has no problems now!"

"Mr. Sensi, are you so eager to get rid of him? Maybe you don't need him in the second half of the season!" Hugo teased.

"Dacote is here too, do you think Capello will give him a chance?!" Franco Sensi asked back.

I don't know a thing! Hugo just wanted to say, I'm not Capello, who knows what he thinks!

"You should also consider my proposal. I admit that Roma does want to sell him in the winter, but Trapani also needs him. As I said just now, with his joining, I think your midfield will be more balanced. He can complement Miku very well, which is good for you!" Franco Sensi vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal.

"Think about it carefully, how about we watch the game first?!" Franco Sensi said.

Hugo nodded and retracted his sideways body.

The game has already started for a few minutes. Trapani's goalkeeper is the unmovable Kameni. The defenders are Barzagli, Natali, Bosingwa, Grosso, the midfielders are Meireles, Mascherano, Miku, and the forwards are Cristiano Ronaldo, Maggio, and Toni. Trapani has had fewer injuries recently and the players are relatively complete. Zeman has much more room for choice. Of course, to be fair, Zeman's cards are just average.

Even in the away game, Capello's idea is to win the game at the lowest cost. Defense is still his focus. What can Zeman say? No matter who you are, the tone of the main attack will not change. It is his characteristic to focus on myself, and it is necessary to counter-suppress with offense.

Trapani played very actively from the beginning, and pressed hard in the frontcourt. Roma was the weaker side. In the third minute, Cristiano Ronaldo rushed forward with the ball, changed direction twice in a row, and completely confused Cufre. He made a cross from the bottom, and Toni in the middle headed the ball under the defense of Aldair, and hit the crossbar of Roma directly.

"Oh..." A muffled sound came from the stadium, and Trapani fans exclaimed!

Hugo stood up unceremoniously and cheered for Toni and Ronaldo's wonderful performance!

Franco Sensi looked at the scene and had the same ominous premonition as Capello. It might not be as easy as imagined to get out of this stadium unscathed.

Aldair struggled to get up from the ground. Aldair was not tall, almost ten centimeters shorter than Toni, and he was older. Ronaldo's pass went straight into the small penalty area, and Toni's slight running made it no exaggeration to say that he crushed Aldair.

He could only rely on experience, defensive positioning, and Ronaldo's fancy passing. He couldn't guess what the opponent would do. As a result, the ball was out, and he was too slow to act!

It's not that Zeman was unprepared for this game. Roma's midfield interception ability was very good. His requirement for the backcourt was to pass the ball to the wing more often, allowing Ronaldo to show himself. He gave Ronaldo a lot of freedom.

Capello obviously didn't pay much attention to Ronaldo. He focused more on Miku. Restricting Miku was equivalent to restricting Trapani's attack, but he might have really thought wrong.

After playing for a few minutes, Ronaldo was very active. Capello suddenly felt that he might have been too relaxed about Ronaldo, so he asked Satordo to pay attention to his flank and behind him on the right to help Cufre defend. The formation used by Roma today was a bit like the parallel 442 position. Bombadini was slightly closer to the center. After all, he was familiar with the position of attacking midfielder during his time in Palermo.

Roma has not found its own rhythm yet. Montella and Delvecchio are very flexible in their movements, but today Zeman only gave Barzagli and Natali one task to mark one person, one person is responsible for one person, and they follow the opponent wherever he goes. This marking method is very uncomfortable. Roma has not adapted to Trapani's high-pressure tactics in a short time and has lost the ball frequently. Meireles and Mascherano are not afraid of tigers and are very aggressive in stealing. The players of Roma are somewhat careful about their bodies.
