My name is Colani

"Roma lost to Palermo!!!", the next day, the front page headline of "Corriere dello Sport" used eye-catching big letters and three exclamation marks as the title.

"Last night, a quarter-final match of the Italian Cup kicked off in Palermo. Roma challenged Trapani at the Barbera Stadium. Roma lost the game and lost people. Not only did they lose to Trapani by three goals, but right-back Cufre also gave away a penalty and a card for consecutive fouls against Ronaldo!"

...

"Roma continued their recent poor form in the game. Mr. Capello's position is now unstable. According to insiders, Roma chairman Franco Sensi was furious about the result of the game and is currently looking for a new head coach to try to fire Capello!"

"Super upset, Roma conceded three goals in Palermo!" "Gazzetta dello Sport" also used the front page headline to report this game.

"Trapani showed their courage and determination throughout the game. Under the banner of offensive football, they played beautifully and their torrential attack left Roma helpless. The three goals have shown that Trapani, a Serie B team, is an ambitious team. They are currently in sixth place in the Serie B standings, only 5 points away from the top. We have reason to believe that we will see them in the Serie A next year. Maybe Zeman's team will bring a new wind to the Serie A again!"

"On the other hand, Roma, in a continuous downturn, the substitutes in this game failed to complete Capello's goal. Cufre's awkward tackle in the penalty area and the crucial penalty for Trapani were just a microcosm of the whole game. Perhaps Trapani, the new Serie B team, made Roma too careless! "

"Roma will face a strong challenge from Atalanta this weekend. This is a test for Roma, which performed poorly in the first half of the season. They will meet Trapani again next week. Can they reverse the three-goal disadvantage? ! I'm afraid there will be a huge question mark! "

"Sensi's face was livid, and Colene was smiling!" Turin Sports, one of the three major sports newspapers, used the photos of Sensi leaving the stadium and Hugo leaving the stadium as a comparison.

"This is a super upset this week. The weak Trapani unexpectedly defeated Roma with three goals at the Barbera Stadium! When Trapani entered the quarterfinals, many people thought that this team's limit was here. Now it seems that they are expected to continue the dark horse legend. They have already held three goals and now have the advantage of advancing to the next round. Their opponent may be another team in Rome, Lazio!"

"Zeman once spent a few years in Rome, and Lazio is also his old team. After defeating Roma, whether Trapani will bring us another upset is worth looking forward to!"

The media almost unanimously favored Trapani, which is very rare. The three-goal advantage is too huge, but they seem to have forgotten that Zeman's team is not a safe score even if it is three goals. No one will believe that Trapani will defend at the Olympic Stadium, because Zeman will not.

As a pro-Trapani website, the focus of the homepage news is of course on this upset, but they also reminded that there are still 90 minutes in the game and anything can happen. Trapani, this young team, should guard against arrogance and impatience, and should also show such performance in the second round, and continue to use facts to prove that the dark horse is genuine.

The next day, Hugo was asked to interview by many reporters at the entrance of the headquarters, and Hugo casually answered a few questions from everyone.

"Dark horse! This name is good! This victory is a great happiness for me and Trapani fans. We didn't expect to win! I'm telling the truth! But now we have reason to believe that we can advance!"

"The goal in the Italian Cup?! Well, since we can beat Roma, why don't we think further? We can set our sights on the championship. There's nothing wrong with that. I think as long as we can exert all our energy, it's completely possible."

"Winter transfer market?! I don't know either! We will do our best to supplement the team's strength. We will only target players who are willing to come to Trapani. Of course, we will also consider his strength! Maybe there will be people joining in the winter transfer window, maybe not. Everything is uncertain. We The current lineup is enough to cope with the next game! "

"Mascherano? ! He attracted attention, which is normal, but we have no plan to let him leave the team, he performed very well! As for whether Italian teams at all levels should recruit him, I think they should, but I think it is impossible. Mascherano is a good guy. He was born in Argentina and he will choose to play for Argentina! "

"Cristiano will not leave. He can get enough space to grow here. I don't see why he should leave!"

...

Ignoring the reporters' retention, Hugo answered a few questions and went to the office building. There was another important thing waiting to be discussed today, that is, Hugo's goal. He wanted Seli to get Delvecchio. In addition, regarding Guardiola, should he be introduced?!

"Maybe we can listen to Amor's opinion! He can always give us some advice, right? ! "Seli said to Hugo in the office.

"Introducing Guardiola and Delvecchio will be another large salary expenditure. This is not a cost-effective deal!" said Giorgio.

As the general manager, he is responsible for salary control. To put it bluntly, he is a handyman who does all kinds of work. He has no power over the club's most important player transfer affairs. Fortunately, he does not fight for power. He is just talking from a business perspective. It was not easy for Amor and Lombardo to leave, but Miku is here, Guardiola and Delvecchio are also here. The team's salary expenditure is too much. There is no doubt that the fiscal deficit will be 100% at the end of this season. Hugo will have to inject capital again.

"I don't care about that little salary, Qiao Ji, don't talk about the salary. At worst, I will fill it later. I admire Delvecchio very much. Look, he can run so fast. If we have him in the frontcourt, he will definitely bring more vitality to the team. I asked Zeman what he meant last night, and he welcomed Delvecchio and Guardiola!" Hugo waved his hand. Salary is nothing. This is not a problem. At worst, I will continue to spend money.

"As for Guardiola, just follow what Leo said. Leo, ask Amor for his opinion. I don't know if Guardiola is interested in playing for my team, nor do I know if this player is suitable for our team. Amor has been in the team, and I believe he has some understanding, as you said!" Hugo ordered.

The big win over Roma in the middle of the week boosted Trapani's morale, but it also came at a price. Physical fitness is the key. Even with 10 vs. 9, Trapani's physical fitness consumption is also very serious. In order not to destroy the balance on the court, Zeman did not use even one substitution throughout the game. There is also the next round. Seeing hope, Zeman certainly hopes that his team can withstand the pressure of Roma in the middle of next week. In the weekend league, he naturally hopes that his main players can get enough rest.

In the weekend away game against the leader Triestina, Zeman made a rotation. This was originally a very important game, but Zeman didn't care. He had a scale in his heart. A team like Triestina was weak and they could not hold on to the end. As a result, Trapani, whose main players were almost replaced, lost 3:1 away from home.

The 30 points did not change, but Trapani's position dropped one place to seventh, and the points gap with the leader became 8 points.

After the game, a reporter accused Zeman of being too arrogant at the press conference. Zeman said: "It's just a loss. We have lost a lot of games. This game will not determine the championship. We still have hope to win the Serie B!"

When asked by reporters whether Zeman was preparing for the Italian Cup again, Zeman said without hesitation that we were indeed preparing for the Italian Cup. It is difficult to get out of the Olympic Stadium unscathed. We must be 120 points in spirit.

Trapani's rotation preparation is not good for Roma. They are in a bit of a slump. They lost to Chievo first, and then to Trapani in the Italian Cup. In the weekend game, they were defeated by Atalanta 2:1 away. Now there are a lot more criticisms of Capello in the media, which makes Sensi eager to try and want to kick Capello out. After calming down and thinking about the price he paid, he finally did not move.

Zeman's rotation shows Trapani's determination. They want to fight to the death with Roma at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

The Romans just felt a chill on their necks.

Sensi's daughter Casella Sensi refuted the rumor after the Atalanta game. The team has no intention of firing Capello. The cooperation between the two sides will continue. It can be regarded as a relief for Capello who is under heavy pressure.

Seli flew to Rome earlier and started negotiating with Roma. He wanted to buy Delvecchio and also planned to talk to Guardiola. Amor also came to Rome to act as a lobbyist for Trapani. There is no better place to make money than Trapani. Guardiola can still stay in the top league and get a high salary next year. This is a lot of things. At least now Amor thinks that he is not working in Trapani for nothing. This experience is still quite good.

Now Batistuta has reached an agreement with Inter Milan on the Roma side. Batistuta joined Inter Milan on loan. Roma took the lead in sending away a striker who was in a declining state. It may be a bit of pressure to sell Delvecchio, but Baldini finally agreed. However, there were great differences in the transfer fee. Roma insisted on a transfer fee of 10 million euros, and Seli was certainly not happy. Delvecchio was actually a marginal international player. How could he ask for 10 million euros?
