My name is Colani

Chapter 320 48. Lucarelli's troubles

Inter Milan only had 3 shots on target in the whole game, but two of them were goals, and all of them were deflected by Trapani players. Kameni was completely helpless even if he was a god, and Trapani hit the target 7 times, but did not score a goal. On the contrary, they hit the target twice in the game.

In the situation where the situation and data were all advantageous, Trapani actually lost 0:2 to Inter Milan, who was in poor form, at home. This is really unimaginable.

"Mr. Colani, what do you think of your luck today? It seems that luck is not on your side!" A reporter asked jokingly.

"I can't help it! I can't blame our players. In fact, we performed well, didn't we?! But sometimes the game is like this, we lack some luck! They only hit the target three times, but they won the game!" Hugo smiled helplessly.

The direct competition in this game brought Inter Milan's points closer to Trapani by two points, while the other two competitors, Lazio and Udinese, drew and only got one point, and Parma lost to Milan, so Trapani is still in fourth place with a slight advantage.

For Trapani, this game is not just about losing three points. During the game, the team's starting striker Klose was injured for the second time this season. Fortunately, this time it was an external injury. In a scramble with Cordoba, Klose's ankle was scratched. Although the team doctor has treated it, the ankle is still swollen after the game. Later, an X-ray will be taken to see if it is a real injury or a problem with the ankle. Of course, this possibility is relatively small. After all, Klose completed the entire game after treatment on the court, but he was not so active on the court.

Trapani is equipped with 5 forwards this season, but the actual competition is not very fierce. Piolo is completely a substitute among substitutes. He has only played a few times this season and has not scored a goal. Mascara and Lucarelli are in a different state. Their playing time is not much, but in the limited time, they have performed well. Mascara does not score many goals, but his tactical role itself is not measured by goals. As a center forward, Lucarelli must be measured by goals, but Lucarelli has also scored 4 goals in a limited time, which is not easy.

But their performance still cannot impress Hugo. In Hugo's mind, the combination of the striker is always the duo of Toni and Klose. It is impossible to say that the two have no objection. After all, they are not Piolo and they don't have many brushes.

Klose is injured. Trapani's next game is an away game against Brescia. Hugo announced the starting lineup a day in advance. Mascara and Lucarelli are trying hard to compete for a starting position, but Hugo announced Ribery.

This really made Mascara and Lucarelli a little bit unbearable. Lucarelli was the most unwilling. Mascara could be a second striker, which was a very good tactical role, but Lucarelli had no chance to become a second striker. His position was basically occupied by Toni and Klose, and he didn't even have a chance to stand out. After all, he was almost 30 years old, and Lucarelli didn't want to spend his career on the bench.

If it was other coaches, Lucarelli might get angry in public, but Hugo was different. Lucarelli knew very well that Hugo was not his opponent in a fight, but Hugo was not a weak person who could be bullied. He was a person with a certain background. After the training on the day when the starting lineup was announced, Lucarelli struggled for a while, and he still knocked on Hugo's office door. He wanted to leave here, this summer.

Hugo seemed a little surprised by Lucarelli's arrival. Hugo was easy to get along with, not the second-generation rich man with bad habits. However, the old people in the team who really dared to talk to Hugo were the members of the coaching staff, such as Toni, Piolo, Victor, Barzali and others. These were old people who had been with Hugo for a long time and had no reservations when talking to him. However, there was actually very little communication between the newcomers and Hugo, and Miku was an exception.

"Chris, come on!" Hugo warmly invited Lucarelli to sit down. Although it was a little unexpected, Hugo actually hoped that Lucarelli and others could talk to him more and talk about their thoughts.

Lucarelli calmed down, sat down opposite Hugo, and said to Hugo: "Boss, I want to talk to you about something!"

"Chris, I'm glad you can come to me with any ideas! My office door is always open to you! Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?!" Thinking of the big list he announced during the day, Hugo knew that Lucarelli must have come for the big list, but he still pretended to be very happy.

"Boss!"

...

"In terms of age, you are older than me, you don't have to call me so formally, this is not a family business! This is a team, I hope you can all relax a little bit with me, you can just call me Gigi or Hugo!" Hugo waved his hand and said.

"Ahem, Hugo! I've thought about it for a long time this season, and now I have an idea, I... I want to leave here at the end of this season!" Lucarelli said hesitantly.

"Leave?!" Hugo was surprised. He thought Lucarelli might just express his dissatisfaction, which he could understand, but why was it so serious that he wanted to leave.

"Why?!" Hugo asked a nonsense reflexively, and he wanted to take it back but didn't.

"I am not willing to be a substitute like this! I am very grateful here, I am very grateful to Mr. Zeman, and I am also grateful to you. Here I have regained my confidence as a striker, but I have spent too much time on the bench!" Lucarelli looked directly at Hugo and said fearlessly, "I know your difficulties. You have your considerations for your choice. Your starting point is definitely the interests of the team, but I also have my pursuits!"

"I am almost 30 years old now. I hope to enjoy a happy career instead of sitting on the bench!"

"Chris, have you found a team?!" Hugo asked while knocking on the desk.

"No, no!" Lucarelli said quickly, "I came here today to ask you to agree with my idea!"

"Did Paravicino ask you to do this?!" Hugo laughed and continued to ask.

"No! This is just my personal idea! To be honest, I did express my ideas and wishes to him, but he didn't ask me to come to you!" Lucarelli shook his head.

Lucarelli has an agent named Carlo Pallavicino, who is a very famous agent in the Italian football circle. When Lucarelli came to Trapani, Pallavicino agreed and actively promoted this matter.

Lucarelli had heard rumors about Hugo, which was the story of Hugo punishing his agent, which was quite cruel and bloody. He was afraid that Hugo would misunderstand that his demands were related to Pallavicino, so he quickly distanced himself from him.

Hugo smiled indifferently. He used to hate players and agents betraying him behind his back, but now, it doesn't matter anymore. Those who want to stay can't stay, so why bother.

Lucarelli's answer satisfied Hugo. Without Pallavicino's instigation, Lucarelli was actually a sympathetic object from Hugo's heart, but Hugo didn't want him to leave.

Hugo has no idea what tactics Zeman will use next season. The core issue of the last meeting between Hugo and Zeman was the distribution of power rather than tactics. Speaking of tactics, does an old hand in Italian football need Hugo to teach him? No, Hugo only needs to vote in favor from the boss's perspective.

Hugo's tactical thinking still assumes that the double striker tactics will be used next season. In this case, Lucarelli's departure will have a great impact on the team. Piolo actually told Hugo some time ago that he planned to play in a lower-level league. He also didn't want to spend such a bench career. Hugo has agreed to let Piolo leave.

Then there are still four forwards next season, and the team may have to play in the European war. All these factors add up, and four forwards are not enough. We must find a way to increase the number of forwards. Lucarelli has a good tactical integration with the team, but he lacks opportunities. Maybe he may be different from Toni and Klose in terms of ability, but he is indeed a good substitute and supplementary candidate for the team. It is really difficult to find a person like Lucarelli in the market.

Hugo never thought of letting Lucarelli leave, nor did he think of letting Mascara leave. They are all in the plan for next season. At least from the perspective of management, Hugo and Seli and Giorgio have discussed many times, and there is no idea of ​​letting Lucarelli go.

The difficulty of strengthening in the summer transfer market lies in the need for a fit. First of all, from Hugo's mind, the status of Toni and Klose has determined that they are the main force. This season, both Toni, who made his debut in the top league, and Klose, who transferred from the Bundesliga, have proved their strength. So what needs to be found in the summer transfer market is a substitute. Secondly, the substitutes must be strong and can play a good role when Toni and Klose are not there.

Add these two conditions together, try it, it is guaranteed to be hard to find in this transfer market!

Therefore, it is necessary to keep Lucarelli and Mascara. Hugo kept knocking on the table, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He was really not as good as Zeman. Zeman rotated a lot last season and was very bold. All the players were used under him, while Hugo became more and more conservative, conservative in tactics and conservative in personnel. There were fewer and fewer rotations, and many people could not play in the game.
