My name is Colani

Chapter 310 38. Comrades still need to work hard

Injury difficulties are always a topic that every team cannot avoid. Trapani used to have few injuries in lower leagues, but now in Serie A, injuries have suddenly become more serious this season, and Hugo and Trapani was quite ill-prepared for this.

Without Micu, no one can be found to replace him, and Guardiola, now Hugo has deeply regretted it. He feels that he was deceived. Bringing this guy in for free is simply a loss-making deal. It's been a year, has Guardiola played more than 20 times for the team? ! The answer must be no.

After returning to Trapani from Genoa, Guardiola's injury was even more sad. According to the final examination results, unfortunately, this time the problem was more serious than the last time. It was an old problem. The knee collateral ligament was strained again and he was absent for many years. No one knows the playing time, after all, this guy is quite old.

After learning the news from the medical center, Hugo was extremely depressed, "Oh, damn, if I had known that this guy wouldn't be able to play a few games, I shouldn't have introduced him in the first place!"

Hugo's face was full of frustration and depression. Guardiola's contract is not short. Is it possible that he has to keep it like this every year? !

Selly could only smile bitterly when facing Hugo, so sometimes you can't lose your head. Consider many aspects. Overall, at the end of last season, Guardiola had already played the main role, and With his experience and good technical ability, he has indeed brought a lot of benefits to Trapani, but this is too useless!

"In the future, when we introduce players, we have to carefully consider their injury history! We can't suffer a big loss here!" Selly sighed sincerely.

"Yes, damn, this is millions. We will have to pay more than 10 million euros in three years, a lesson of blood and tears!" Hugo felt so raw.

Guardiola has had constant injury problems since the late period of Barcelona. He played very well in Brescia, but he was suspended and injured, and he was not full attendance. He also had injuries in Rome. Trapani should have played early Just be mentally prepared.

"Forget it, forget it! Don't mention him! We have to hurry up and have a good talk with Udinese about Pizarro. Pizarro is very suitable to replace Guardiola. We need him!" Hugo was worried! He waved his hand and talked about Pizarro.

Today's meeting with Selly and Giorgio in the office was mainly to discuss Pizarro's transfer. Everyone must come up with a plan in advance. How much the transfer fee should be controlled and what range the salary should be controlled within. It should be generally reasonable, and In addition to Pizarro, everyone has to discuss a replacement. If the negotiation fails, Trapani will also have to strengthen in the winter.

The position is not limited to the midfielder, but also on the wing, especially on the right. Trapani only has one Maggio, which is barely enough, and there is a serious shortage of replacement candidates. If Maggio is injured, Padoin can only fill this position, but the effect is Hugo's prediction was not too good.

Udinese has many good players. Today we were talking about Pizarro. Hugo talked about Jankulovski, a Czech player who previously moved to Napoli last season. Ness turned out to be very popular in Udinese. He is a very good full-back. When he played against Udinese, he also left a deep impression on Trapani's senior management.

But this person has two regrets. One is that this guy is a left back, and Trapani has no shortage of left backs. Evra, Grosso, and Peluso can also play. There is no need to introduce Jankulo. Fitzgerald, the introduction of others must be for the main position, not to mention that they may not be willing to go to Trapani. After all, Udinese is a team in the European theater, and what does Trapani have? ! It’s nothing, just a relegation team! Another regret is that he is a non-EU player. The Czech Republic is said to be joining the EU, but this is not a reality now. Trapani has no quota to introduce him unless they sell Li Tie!

Selling Li Tie is equivalent to an economic loss. Li Tie can not only serve as the team's midfield rotation player, but also a sharp commercial tool for Trapani. Hugo needs him very much and will not let him leave now. , if possible, he would even let Li Tie play here for many years.

"When selecting a player based on a model like Jankulovski's, I need to supplement the back-end. Don't be too old, it's better to be younger! Around 20 years old, it's best to have experience in a big team!" Hugo told Selly about his opinion on reinforcements on the right side. The template he wanted was a full-back like Jankulovski who can go up and down and has strong assist ability.

When Selly heard this, his head was very big. Such players are actually very difficult to find. It is so easy. Moreover, what Hugo said was contradictory. Selly could understand that Hugo wanted a younger version of Janculo. As a supplement, the main force is still Maggio, but he already has this template. Will he be willing to wait for you to train him patiently when he comes to the team? !

Entering December, Trapani has the Coppa Italia and the League. Unfortunately, they were drawn against Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia. Zaccheroni's Inter Milan is now in good momentum. Trapani is short of major generals. From the comprehensive Considering the perspective, Hugo had no choice but to give up. The men of Inter Milan cannot afford to be injured, but the players of Trapani cannot afford to be injured. If they are injured again, whether they can safely avoid relegation this season will be a problem.

As a result, in the first round held at the Meazza Stadium in early December, Trapani was beaten badly by Inter Milan, losing 0:3 to Inter Milan. After the game, a reporter asked Hugo if he had intentionally given up the game. Hugo flatly denied it. In fact, everyone knew what he was thinking.

Hugo attributed all the problems of losing to injuries. Our defenders were injured, the midfielders were injured, and the forwards also had minor injuries. The comrades worked hard but the game was difficult. We will reflect on the loss.

Those who were unhappy with Hugo in the media were waiting to see Hugo's joke. They wanted to see if Trapani, who was short of soldiers against Bologna, would die miserably. However, Trapani won the next game, but lost the core figure. Ribery was moved to the front midfielder position by Hugo and a new tactical strategy was re-formulated.

The process of the game was a bit ugly. Trapani was in a passive situation at Bologna's home, but it was Trapani who won the game. Ribery moved to the middle and performed awkwardly, but he scored again, helping Trapani to beat Bologna by one goal away from home and get three points again. Trapani has 5 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in 12 rounds, and got 18 points, ranking seventh.

In the last three rounds, Trapani found the feeling again, did not lose a ball, and won two games.

However, Trapani suffered a series of defeats in the league and Italian Cup afterwards. In the league home game against Lazio, Trapani's performance improved, but the goal did not come. Lazio and Trapani were evenly matched in creating opportunities, but they were luckier. The forward seized the opportunity and also beat Trapani by one goal at the Barbera Stadium.

Trapani, who continued to play as a substitute in the Italian Cup, also had a slightly better situation at home, but they also lost, losing to Inter Milan by one goal, and were eliminated by Inter Milan with a total score of 0:4, and could not continue in the Italian Cup.

The last round of the first half of the league was held on December 21. Trapani challenged Chievo away. Chievo ranked 11th and Trapani ranked 9th. The gap between the two teams was three points. Trapani's away performance was not very good, and Chievo happened to have a poor home performance. The two teams experienced a dull game. Both sides failed to score and each got one point.

With the end of this game, Trapani's first half of the game was completed. In 14 rounds, there were 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, with 19 points, ranking 9th. This is a good result for a newly promoted team, but the media just wanted to find fault and compare Trapani with Sampdoria.

After 14 rounds, Sampdoria has 21 points, ranking ahead of Trapani. Sampdoria didn't invest much this summer, but Novellino is really good. With 21 points in 14 rounds, if Sampdoria can continue to perform like this, relegation should not be a problem.

"Novelino did a good job, and I did a good job too! Before the start of the season, they said Trapani would have a hard time staying in the league, and the team was not strong enough, but in fact, we have already scored 19 points before the halfway point of the league! We can stay in the league!" Hugo complained to Allegri at the Christmas dinner.

Allegri laughed. In his heart, Allegri thought Hugo had changed a lot this season. When he first took over the team, Hugo's main identity was an amateur player. Unfortunately, this guy was not determined and had little experience. At that time, he was really unremarkable. Everyone said that Hugo was neither a player nor a head coach.

This season, Hugo is obviously more serious and hardworking. Allegri even thinks that if Hugo can continue to do this, he may become a famous coach!

"No matter what others say! Anyway, I think you are doing a good job! But the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!" Allegri said in a serious manner.

Everyone around laughed.
