My name is Colani

Chapter 262 Before the Derby

"And I don't like the current football style in our country!" Hugo pursed his lips.

When did Italy's defense-first philosophy come into being? It has to be said that it was in the 1950s and 1960s. Italy has always produced goalkeepers and defenders. Hugo doesn't like this tune, and naturally doesn't want his youth training to produce players with particularly good defensive awareness. In recent years, the players who dominate Serie A are often foreign players. For example, Vieri himself is not actually a product of Italian youth training. He went to Australia at the age of 5 and returned to Italy at the age of 16. It can be said that his basic education was completed in Australia.

"Shafir told me his plan. I think he did this for the children of Sicily. The children of Sicily are his first choice. Second, it can cultivate more types of talents and will not be completely assimilated by the Italian football environment!" Hugo's expectations are here.

Shafir took office soon, and Trapani also ushered in the second round of the derby with Palermo.

The last derby was at Palermo's home ground, and this time it was at Trapani's home ground. Trapani had already started promoting this derby after the match with Catania. This kind of city derby is more exciting and more important than the island derby. Palermo is not too far behind Trapani now. Hugo's biggest hope is that the team can beat Palermo in Trapani, so that Zamparini's team can't get close to the promotion zone and won't be promoted this season.

For Palermo, the significance of this game is of course equally important. The last derby made Zamparini fire Greyllion, and Anegetti took over, but being the head coach under Zamparini is definitely a painful thing. It is very difficult to keep your position. Anegetti didn't stay in this position for a long time, and then he was fired again. The new one is Nedo Sonetti.

This coach has been in small teams for a long time and is very experienced, but there are not many highlights in his coaching career and his ability is slightly insufficient. Under his leadership, Palermo's performance cannot be said to have improved much. In short, it is tepid, and Zamparini is not very satisfied.

Just when he was considering whether to change someone to save the fire, Hugo, the city's mortal enemy who is not so good at firing head coaches, actually fired Zeman. Zamparini's thoughts immediately stopped. He was looking forward to a more stable Palermo to give Trapani a little color.

"Zeman is a good coach! I don't quite understand why Gigi fired him. If Zeman is fired, Trapani can't even keep the top three position!" Zamparini made things difficult for Hugo after Hugo fired Zeman.

Hugo ignored him, and Trapani turned around and took down Catania. Although it was a narrow victory, it was a win after all, and slapped Zamparini hard.

Now the second round of the league derby is coming, Hugo will naturally not miss such an opportunity, whether it works or not, he must give Palermo some eye drops.

"I sympathize with Mr. Sonetti. It is a painful thing to be the head coach under Zan Dazui! According to me, Zan Dazui has long wanted to fire Mr. Sonetti. Maybe this derby will determine the fate of a Palermo coach! I wish him all the best. Trapani doesn't know how to write the word "let go"!" Hugo said when interviewed by Agostino.

"Mr. Colani, you seem to be very confident about this game. Can you predict the final score?!" Agostino laughed.

"I guess the battle will end with 3:0. We will win, we will get three points, and Palermo will be further and further away from the promotion zone!" Hugo answered confidently.

"You seem to have a different prejudice against Mr. Zamparini?!" Agostino is not afraid of asking some sharp questions. Anyway, Hugo loves to have verbal battles with Zamparini, Gao Qi and others.

"I don't have a prejudice against him?! I just think he is not a responsible person. Last summer, it seemed that he invested a lot, but he also sold a lot of players, many good players, players that Palermo fans like, so that Palermo's strength has not been improved at all! And he himself is ambitious and has set unrealistic goals for Palermo. Under such conditions, he is responsible, but he always changes coaches endlessly! Tell me, is this a responsible chairman?!" Hugo analyzed seriously.

Before the derby, the war of words is inevitable. Hugo fired the first shot, and Zan Dazu was not willing to be left behind. He accused Hugo of firing Zeman and destroying the wall by himself, saying that Hugo did not know how to run a team at all, and he had rich experience, not to destroy Palermo.

Trapani is now a two-head coach, Barrias and Lombardo are both coaches, and naturally both of them have to attend the press conference.

After being appointed as the acting head coach by Hugo, Lombardo became more active. He wanted to continue to sit in this position next season, but Barrias did not have such thoughts. He was not suitable to be the head coach.

Whether he could stay in office depended on the results. Of course, if Lombardo still failed to obtain the qualification to coach the Serie A team after the end of the season, then he would definitely have no hope at all. However, the coaching certificate was indeed easy for him to obtain. He could directly participate in the training class for senior coaches, which was his advantage.

The Palermo derby was the most important game in his mind, because he knew very well that Hugo attached great importance to the derby with Palermo, and he also appeared aggressive at the press conference.

"I am sure that the team is running positively. We just defeated Catania. The team's morale is high now. We have enough reason to believe that we will continue this state!"

"Palermo is in a bad situation now, but they are still an excellent team. I hope my players can show our style on the court, so that we can win this game!"

...

He became the pig's foot in the press conference, and the other acting coach Barrias didn't say much.

But reporters always have to find faults. Seeing that Lombardo talked too much, a reporter couldn't help asking: "Now Trapani's acting coach is you and Mr. Barrias, so who has the final say in the team?!"

"Do you have different opinions? Who do you listen to?!"

"It is said that Mr. Colani intends to continue to use the current double coach method to compete in Serie A next season. What do you think about this, Mr. Lombardo?! Will you accept Mr. Colani's invitation?!"

...

Gigi has such an idea? ! Lombardo didn't know that Hugo was spending more time at the training ground, but he never told him about it. However, Lombardo knew that he was not Hugo's secret agent, so who knew if it was true or not? He would rather believe it was true.

"Barrias and I have a clear division of labor. He is mainly responsible for the team's training, and I am responsible for the team's on-the-spot command!" Lombardo told Barrias the private division of labor between him and Barrias, "We have a pleasant cooperation and no disputes!"

"As for next season, I don't know Mr. Colemani's arrangement! If the team needs it, I will choose to stay without hesitation!" Lombardo also expressed his ambition.

Seeing Lombardo's speech in the media, Hugo sneered and shook his head.

"What's wrong?!" Lu Fan asked, "What did the media write that made you dissatisfied?!"

"Look at what Lombardo said. He wants to continue working in this position!" Hugo handed Lu Fan the newspaper and smiled.

"I don't think there's any problem. If they can help the team get promoted by the end of the season, it's not bad to maintain the current state!" Lu Fan said after looking at the news in the newspaper.

"Brother Fan, that's Serie A! I've never thought about relegating the team to Serie A. I will never allow such a thing to happen to Trapani! Even if he and Barrias can lead the team to upgrade, it doesn't prove that they have the ability to make the team gain a foothold in Serie A! Experience is very important!" Hugo shook his head and said.

"What experience does Lombardo have?! He just started as an assistant coach this season and hasn't even got the qualification certificate to coach a Serie A team. Why should I trust him?!" Hugo asked back.

Lu Fan couldn't help but nod. Hugo's consideration was completely correct. From Trapani's perspective, letting newcomers take over would be a big risk, and Hugo obviously didn't want Trapani to bear this risk.

"But there has been no movement in the selection of coaches recently! I don't think you are in a hurry at all!" Lu Fan smiled.

"I haven't decided what style to choose! Trapani's investment in the summer transfer window will be limited. Seli and I have discussed that we must first find a way to keep the existing team and then strengthen it a little. The young people in the team are gradually growing up, and we should trust them! From the perspective of wanting to gain a foothold in Serie A, we need an expert coach for relegation, but I am afraid of choosing a particularly conservative coach and changing Trapani's current style! I am very entangled!" Hugo said with a frown.

This is the fundamental reason why Trapani's selection of coaches has been slow after Zeman was dismissed. Hugo has never thought about what kind of head coach he should choose. Zeman's offensive football is still very much appreciated by him.

Thinking of the difficulty of selecting a coach, Hugo couldn't help but think of Zeman again. This dead old man is really good. Under his leadership, Trapani will at least have no problem staying in Serie A.
