My name is Colani

After the second half of the season started on January 6, Trapani completed 4 league games during the winter transfer window. After a tie with Parma at home, Trapani found a good form afterwards, winning Empoli and Perugia in succession, and got 6 points. However, in the game against Milan away on the 25th, Trapani did not perform magically again, and lost to Milan 1:2 away.

By February, Trapani had completed 18 rounds of the league and got 26 points. It was still ranked ninth in the standings, 13 points higher than Empoli, which was 15th in the relegation zone. The score advantage was huge. Privately, the coaching staff also concluded that this season, as long as they could get 38 points, they could stay in the league. The teams in the relegation zone were in such a bad state that it would be very difficult to turn the tables in the second half.

Pizarro should be said to have perfectly understood Hugo's intention. Pizarro was the absolute brain core in Udinese, but after coming to Trapani, Hugo did not let him be the absolute core, but the task was not necessarily easy. Hugo told him two options, one is the plan when Miku is on the court, and the other is the plan when he is not on the court.

When Miku is on the court, Pizarro needs to find a tacit understanding with Miku and jointly control the rhythm of the team. The advantage of Pizarro at this time is that he can go up and switch positions with Miku.

But when Miku is not on the court, Pizarro also plays the position of defensive midfielder, and his task is heavy. The team is centered on him, and he will frequently contact the ball to dredge, and the task of going up is not the most important task. Compared with Udinese, Hugo is more cautious and does not want him to go up too many times.

In January, except for the first game, Pizarro played in all the other games. He adapted very well. The reason why Trapani lost to Milan was that Trapani's midfield was quite outstanding. They did not lose to Milan, but the overall level of the team was still behind Milan. They did not handle some details as well as the opponent. This is the difference between a strong team and a weak team.

Hugo was also very satisfied with the recent situation. He changed his tone in the press conference after the match against Milan. He said: "Our goal of relegation this season is no longer the most important. I think our strength should be ranked in the middle of the league. The next important goal is to see if there is a chance to impact the qualification for the European war!"

Not only the media disliked her fast change of style, but even the coaching staff disliked Hugo's speech at the press conference.

"Gigi, the situation of the team has improved now, but you can't give everyone too much pressure. It's hard for everyone to be motivated now. If you say this, everyone may bear heavy pressure again!" Barrias criticized Hugo the next day.

"Pressure?! What's the fear of pressure? Pressure is motivation! We have already got 26 points in the first half of the season, and there are 16 rounds left. If we can play well and beat the opponents we should beat, and don't lose points inexplicably like in the first half of the season, we may get more than 50 points. With more than 50 points, we should be able to play in the European arena!" Hugo said.

Judging from the final standings of last season, what Hugo said is true. Last season, 56 points were enough to get a place in the European war. Although Trapani is currently in the middle of the pack this season, the gap from Inter Milan, which is fourth, is actually only 6 points, which is not very big. If they have extraordinary performance in the second half of the season, they may not be unable to look forward to the European arena.

After refuting Barrias, Hugo also said this to the players in the team's tactical class. After all, Hugo has taken ideological and moral classes and political classes since he was a child, so he must be very clear when he talks about reason.

"I'm not saying that we must achieve this goal, I'm just saying that we can't be satisfied with the goal of relegation! Relegation is just a small goal. Human potential is endless, and I believe our potential is endless too!" Hugo spoke impassionedly on the podium.

"It's not good to be satisfied with relegation. Without pressure, there is no motivation. Without the motivation to move forward, there is no room for improvement. If you want to make progress, you must put the greatest pressure on yourself!"

...

Not to mention that young players are bewitched by Hugo, even the older ones, such as Pizarro who just transferred, he was originally in a European team, why doesn't he want to lead the team to achieve a breakthrough and play in the European war, and Miku has the same idea.

I just heard that Hugo has re-proclaimed the goal of the European war. Miku and other old players may not be able to accept it, but before Hugo gave a speech, they already wanted to achieve this bigger goal.

They are actually more confident and motivated than young people.

The players' warm applause and response made Hugo very satisfied. Allegri didn't know what to say. The team's strength might be enough to avoid relegation, but it was still a little short of the European competition. However, Hugo's ability to deceive people was not small. Even they themselves unconsciously gained confidence.

Coincidentally, the next round of games was a home game against Lecce, which was also a newly promoted team. Lecce is now mired in the relegation zone. After 18 rounds of games, it has only 12 points, 14 points behind Trapani. It has also suffered three consecutive defeats recently. The situation is very bad. Trapani is in high spirits at home and beat Lecce 4:0.

After this big win, the players' confidence has increased a lot. After the last round of games, Hugo shouted the slogan of pursuing European wars. After this game, reporters interviewed Trapani's players and received a positive response.

"Why not?! We are an excellent team, we have ideals and ambitions, we can pursue higher goals!" Captain Toni said in an interview with reporters.

The Italians also know how to be humble. It is not surprising that those who have strength shout slogans, but those who do not have "strength" can only laugh at shouting slogans. The outside world has mixed opinions on Trapani's slogan of entering Europe. Some say wait and see. Even if Trapani succeeds in relegation this season, shouting such a slogan is completely a move of being too ambitious. Some believe that after Pizarro joined Trapani, the team's strength has risen to a new level and it is fully capable of moving towards the highest goal.

Pizarro has also become popular recently. In the match against Lecce, he played well and contributed one pass and one shot. Trapani completely controlled the situation on the court during the game, which was inseparable from his dispatch. This is why some media said that Trapani's strength has increased a lot after getting Pizarro.

Compared with Guardiola, Pizarro is currently only stronger than him, not weaker than him. When Guardiola returned to the team after recovering from injury, Guardiola found it difficult to shake Pizarro's position.

It's time to complain. Guardiola knocked on Hugo's office door one day in mid-February. He wanted Hugo to clarify his position in the team.

"Pep, you are a good player! An undeniable good player! But the current situation, you can see that David is more suitable for the current tactics of this team than you!" Hugo told Guardiola directly.

Guardiola was about to say something, but Hugo waved his hand and continued, "With your current situation, it is difficult to compete for the starting position! I must be honest with you. It took us a lot of trouble to invite you here. The attitude was very sincere, and you have indeed made a great contribution to us!"

"You mean the team doesn't need me now?!" Guardiola was not angry, but very calm. He knew his own physical condition and competitive level very well.

"That's not what I meant! I still believe that you can bring a lot to the team, such as your experience, which is very important to us!" Hugo said, "However, the initiative is in your hands. You are currently positioned as a substitute in my mind. If you are willing to stay, I will certainly welcome you, but if you don't want to, I hope that both of us can face our future!"

This is not an order to expel guests, but Hugo's statement is very serious. Whether you are willing to stay is entirely up to you.

Guardiola didn't get what he wanted from Hugo, but the result was not unexpected. He really had to think about his future. According to the contract, his contract has not expired yet, so he can stay here until the end of the contract. But from Hugo's tone, I'm afraid that the Chinese Li Tie is ahead of him, which undoubtedly makes Guardiola very disappointed.

Before meeting Roma, Trapani beat Modena 2:0 away. In the last seven rounds, they only lost one game, that is, to Milan. Their form is amazing. In the standings, they have already scored 32 points, only 4 points behind Inter Milan, which is fourth.

In this case, Trapani will welcome Roma at home. Roma, led by Capello this season, has recovered its vitality and is currently ranked second in the standings with 46 points, 5 points behind Milan, which is the first place. This is not a gap that cannot be narrowed. In this round of games, Roma will challenge Trapani away, and Milan will play against Lecce at home.

I apologize to everyone again. The updates have been unstable recently. I have interviewed many companies recently, but have not received any replies. I still have to work hard. I am not in a good mood! Oh, I hope everything goes well! If I can implement the work and sort it out as soon as possible, the updates will be stable. I hope I can get everything done before next month! I don’t know if I can achieve my wish. God bless me.
