Chapter 297 25. Strong Enemy Juventus 1

Juventus can be said to be the strongest enemy Trapani has encountered now. They have won the Serie A championship for two consecutive years. Last season, they also reached the Champions League final, but finally lost to Milan. At that time, before the game, Juventus was an absolute favorite, and their strength was unmatched by Milan.

Since the beginning of the new season, they have been unbeaten in the Champions League and Serie A for 7 rounds, and six of them were victories. Only the draw with Roma led by Capello was a draw.

"Mr. Colemani, do you think Juventus is the biggest enemy so far?! They have won two consecutive games before. Do you think your team has enough ability to cause trouble to the defending champion?!" asked Domenico, a beautiful reporter from New Sports.

"It is undeniable! Juventus is definitely the favorite for the championship in the new season! They are very strong, and Mr. Lippi's coaching ability is obvious to all! We are a relegation team. We are weak, which is recognized by everyone, but we will do our best to cause trouble for them! I think on the court, everyone has the same probability of winning!" Hugo said.

"Will Guardiola play in this game? His absence seems to affect Trapani's overall performance. How is his injury?!" Another reporter asked.

"He won't play, and I don't know when he will be able to return! There is no doubt that he is a very important member of our team, but now is not the time to miss him. Injuries always plague every team. We will solve the problems caused by his absence!"

"What about Klose?!"

"Milek, it will take some time for Milek to recover from his injury. I can't give an answer to the specific time. Maybe two weeks, maybe more. We hope that he and Pep can return to the team as soon as possible. We need them!"

"Will you consider changing the formation against Juventus? The previous two games seem to have shown that 433 is not suitable for Trapani's personnel structure!"

"Maybe I will consider it! Maybe not!" Hugo naturally turned a blind eye.

"Miccoli will face his old team in this game. What do you think of this former Trapani player?!"

"Fabrizio is a good player. We were reluctant to let him go at that time. He made a great contribution to the team's promotion process. I will hug him when I see him again, but if he gets a chance to start, I hope he will not pose a threat to us!" Hugo smiled.

...

After the whole press conference, many reporters found that Hugo is back to normal now. It seems that he is confident about the game against Juventus!

In fact, this game is not completely without chance for Trapani. There are many national football players in the Juventus team. Most of the players have played as the main players of the national team on the national team match day. In the middle of next week, Juventus will play a more critical European Champions League group match. Their opponent is Real Sociedad of La Liga.

Considering the physical problems and injuries of the team, Lippi is very likely to play with a substitute lineup in this game. Returning to Juventus, Lippi is very eager to help Juventus win another Champions League trophy. There is really no need for him to make a big move against Trapani, who is in poor condition and weak.

Hugo and the coaching staff also guessed Juventus' starting lineup based on Juventus' situation, and they can guess it almost right. However, it is difficult for Lippi to guess Trapani's lineup. There are always various rumors in the media that Trapani is very likely to change the lineup. Trapani's closed training during this period is hidden.

October 18th is a good day. It is sunny in Palermo during the day and the temperature is suitable at night, which is very suitable for the game. Trapani is in poor condition, but the fans are still very enthusiastic. Tens of thousands of fans have poured into the Barbera Stadium early.

Trapani's home attendance has been relatively good this season. So far, the attendance has remained at around 90% in three home games, and the game against Milan was full.

One advantage of playing against these strong teams is that the attendance problem can definitely be solved well. It is not surprising that Juventus' Barbera Stadium is full. Many fans even regard Juventus as their second home team.

However, given Trapani's poor situation, fans naturally support Trapani more. Anyway, Juventus always loses a few games throughout the season, so why not lose to Trapani? !

Hugo could see in the locker room that the players were very nervous, really nervous, not only because of the opponent's reputation, but also because the players had no idea whether this tactical system would succeed, unlike the previous 433, which defeated the strong enemy Milan at the beginning, which was convincing enough for everyone.

Hugo couldn't let everyone go of this doubt. A team coach is like a general, and he has to convince everyone. However, Hugo didn't have any dazzling achievements worth bragging about. Everyone went ahead with it. But because Hugo was the boss, he was the only master of Trapani, and no one would underestimate Hugo's punishment.

"Are you worried?!" Allegri asked with a smile as he accompanied Hugo out of the locker room.

"Worried, I'm worried that this method won't work, what should I do?! My authority comes from the fact that I'm the boss, not the head coach!" Hugo understood it very well.

"Don't worry, the boss's authority can still be overdrawn!" Allegri said with a smirk.

"Are you sure?!" Allegri's ridicule made Hugo feel a lot better for no reason, and he asked back with a big laugh.

"Definitely and definitely!" Allegri said with a smile.

At this time, the players of Juventus came out. Hugo already knew their starting lineup, and Miccoli was among them.

Miccoli saw Hugo and Allegri, walked quickly to Hugo, and hugged Hugo and Allegri.

"Hello! Boss! It's great to see you again. I miss you all!" Miccoli said that he missed everyone. He actually only had a short season in Trapani, but it was the most comfortable time for him during that time in Trapani. Zeman gave him a lot of freedom, allowing him to indulge in the offensive end. He became the team's top scorer, which was obviously impossible in Juventus.

What's more, he was just a substitute in Juventus. Sometimes he knew that he couldn't compete with Piero and Trezeguet, but Miccoli still took this step. Hugo had to admire his courage.

"Hello, Fabrizio!"

"Hello, Fabrizio!"

Hugo and Allegri greeted Miccoli with a smile.

"How is your life in Juventus?!" Hugo whispered in Micoli's ear.

"Not bad!" Micoli smiled.

"If you are not happy, you are welcome to come back!" Hugo said with a smile. Don't say that when he saw Micoli, Hugo really had such an idea. This little player is an upgraded version of Ribery. He is so amazing. If he can come back, it will definitely be a great benefit to Trapani.

However, Hugo also knew that Micoli would never give up easily and would never want to leave now after just returning to Juventus after his loan career.

Next year, Messi will be born next year. Micoli will be a superfluous person, which is not good for anyone!

After exchanging a few words with Miccoli, Lippi also came out. Hugo and Allegri just shook hands with Lippi politely and said hello, without much greeting. Lippi also knew Trapani's formation change. Trapani changed to 352, with two full-backs on the two wings of the midfield. He knew that Trapani's formation was most likely to stop Juventus' attack.

He still didn't believe it. According to the previous few games, Hugo was more inclined to attack, and dared to show his sword against Milan, not to mention Udinese and Lecce.

Trapani changed the formation to 352.

Goalkeeper: Kameni

Defenders: right center back Barzagli, center Victor, left center back Peruso

Midfielders: Evra, Li Tie, Mascherano, Micoud, Maggio

Forwards: Lucarelli, Toni

In the original plan, Hugo had Mauri in mind for the midfield position, but this game was against Juventus. Mauri was a front midfielder and his defensive ability was weak. Hugo wanted Padoin, who played a supporting role in the last game, to reflect on himself. Hugo once again forced Li Tie, who had relatively good defensive ability and performed well in training recently.

Li Tie and Mascherano stood behind Micoud. Micoud looked like a front midfielder, but in fact he had the heaviest task, mainly organizing rather than assisting. Of course, this was not absolute. Hugo gave Micoud quite a bit of freedom.

On the wings, Maggio and Evra are both very fast and have a certain defensive awareness and ability. They may be far from the top, but now, Trapani's conditions are like this. It's good to have these two. Hugo also intends to train them in the new season.

Juventus is in a 442 parallel position. Considering injuries and preparations for the Champions League, Lippi really sent out a substitute lineup in this game.

Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defenders: Birindelli, Ferrara, Montero, Zambrotta

Midfielders: Appia, Tacchinadi, Davis, Maresca

Forwards: Miccoli, Di Vaio

After the pre-match ceremony, with the whistle of the referee Pellegrino, the competition between the two teams officially began. Hugo did not seem impatient, but sat in his coaching seat and watched the situation on the court.
