My name is Colani

Chapter 329 57. Finale 3

Klose would not hear the scolding. His whole face was buried in the grass. Toni pulled up his striker partner. It was difficult for anyone to handle this ball. In fact, Klose's reaction was very fast, but it was because of his fast reaction that people thought he lost an empty goal opportunity. If he reacted slowly, Klose would not even have the chance to stretch his feet. The ball slipped past him directly, and people felt that no one could do anything about this ball.

"It's too bad!" Toni shook his head and smiled bitterly at Klose.

Who said it wasn't? Toni's powerful header should have scored!

"Don't take it to heart! Milek, we will have another chance!" Toni comforted Klose, and then left. People were about to kick off, and they couldn't always stand here and feel upset.

Klose nodded depressedly, his heart was full of fire. He would not hear the scolding, but he knew that there must be many fans in Trapani who would complain about him, and now all he had to do was to score a goal and help the team win, which was also a way to make up for his mistakes.

Cosmi's forehead was really sweating. It was too thrilling just now. His team almost lost the ball. Cosmi is not incompetent. He did a lot of homework in this game, the most important of which was to limit Trapani's cross.

Crossing the ball on the field depends on the skills of the passer and the space and timing of the cross. What Perugia needs to do is to limit the opponent's cross space. Even if there is a little interference with the crosser, the trajectory of the ball will be too different. It is not so easy to rely on the center forward to score on the field. If the pass is not in place and the timing is not right, the center forward is just a decoration.

Cosmi began to loudly angrily name Obodo on the field. The threat created by Trapani just now was because Obodo, Fusani and Manfredini failed to reach a tacit understanding. Obodo was the one who rushed to block Miku but hesitated. His brief pause allowed Miku to find the passing route and timing.

What can I say about the midfielder Obodo? For small teams, players like him are very useful. They run actively and are strong. Players born in Nigeria are not too bad in speed and technology. His biggest problem may be the problem of positional sense. Sometimes he is too free and likes to press forward to attack.

In big teams, defensive midfielders like Obodo must be adjusted and changed before they can gain a foothold. You must know that everyone knows how important the defensive midfielder position is now. The defensive midfielder with poor positional sense is simply a professional pit for the defense. Perugia lost so many goals, which is absolutely inseparable from Obodo, because he is the main defensive midfielder under Cosmi and has played many games this season. Of course, he also has good form. Because of the large coverage area, his destructive power is still considerable.

In the first 20 minutes, Obodo actually made two interceptions and intercepted the ball from Trapani's midfield to the wing.

Obodo was also very depressed. For a moment, he really didn't know what he was doing and completely forgot to continue moving forward.

The game continued. Trapani's missed opportunity was not the end, but the beginning. The offensive became more and more fierce, and it felt like they would break you if they disagreed. The fans in the stands were terrified. Cosmi's efforts to limit crosses became less and less effective. On the one hand, Perugia's players were suppressed for too long, and their morale was a bit low. On the other hand, Trapani also changed. Pizarro began to have sudden long passes from the backcourt, directly looking for Toni, so that Toni could make the ball with his height advantage, and was not limited to letting the two wings cross.

Toni's state was getting better and better, and he was often able to gain the upper hand in most of the competitions. Although the ball could not be passed to the right place every time, at least the threat was real for Perugia and Cosmi to feel.

Near the end of the first half, Trapani's number of shots had increased to 10. In this situation, it is entirely possible that he could complete more than 20 shots in the whole game. The rhythm is still very slow, but the threat is real. Every time, it feels that Perugia's goal will be broken.

Perugia's shots in the first half were pitiful 2 times, which is really suspicious. They once beat Juventus 1:0 and Inter Milan 2:3. Cosmi's 352 formation was greatly restricted everywhere. The two forwards Sarayeta and Hubner had no highlights at all.

The midfield whistle sounded, Trapani 0:0 Perugia, the shaky Perugia did not lose the ball after all. Hugo could only walk to the locker room with Allegri in frustration. Trapani still lacked something, and the key shot in front of the goal was almost on fire.

There is no need to think about substitutions, at least not now. Lucarelli and Mascara are both on the bench. They definitely hope that they can play and solve the battle, but in terms of effectiveness, Hugo would rather trust Toni and Klose. Maybe when the situation is completely unresolved, Hugo will consider letting Lucarelli go up to try his luck, or let Mascara go up to change the team's technical and tactical play, but there is no need to do so at present.

Allegri and Hugo have different views. They had a few arguments in the coaching seat just now. Allegri wanted to replace the starting central defender Natali with Lucarelli, and the formation became 433. This recipe seems a bit risky. Allegri's consideration is that the second half needs to score as soon as possible, otherwise it will turn this game into a war of attrition and the players may lose confidence.

Hugo admitted that Allegri was right. After all, Trapani's players are not the kind of champion-level players who are full of confidence and are not surprised by praise or criticism. If they fail to score goals, it is very likely that the game will turn into a game like the one against Brescia, where they are impatient and beaten by their opponents.

This kind of confidence needs constant games and constant honors to develop, and Trapani's players have no such experience.

Hugo mentioned that Perugia should be anxious. Today is the last round of the game. From the real-time news in the first half, it is known that Empoli is temporarily tied with Inter Milan 1:1, Modena is 0:1 behind Lazio, and Siena is 1:2 behind Juventus.

Perugia cannot have a draw. They must win, otherwise they will still be relegated.

So Hugo does not agree with Allegri's opinion, and even the other players in the coaching staff do not agree with him.

Back in the locker room, Hugo said more in the midfield. He constantly encouraged the players and stimulated them with generous bonuses. At the same time, he also reminded the players to be patient. Although Lazio temporarily won and squeezed out Trapani, Trapani didn't need to be anxious. There were still 45 minutes.

Inter Milan's draw didn't change their situation at all. Parma and Udinese also drew in the first half and failed to move forward.

On the other side, Cosmi had similar ideas to Hugo. The team seemed far from the time to exert its strength. He also told the players not to be anxious. He arranged a lot of defensive tasks in the midfield. Defense was the most important thing. He didn't want Trapani to get 10 shooting opportunities in the second half. This was simply unbearable in Serie A, and the opponent was a newly promoted team.

In the fierce game in the first half, Hugo, who was fully committed, was much calmer. But after the halftime break, when he returned to the court, Hugo's heart unconsciously sped up again. He actually wanted to win. After all, he couldn't pin all his dreams on Lazio and Inter Milan losing.

After the halftime break, neither team made any substitutions. Cosmi had no one to replace, and Hugo didn't need to make any substitutions.

After the opening, Perugia's spirit was much better. They passed the ball to Trapani's penalty area several times. Hubner and Sarayeta both completed the shot, but it was still far from the goal.

After stabilizing for a few minutes, the peace on the field tilted towards Trapani again. They took the initiative again. After the midfield encouragement, Perugia's players made some psychological progress. They were very tenacious in defense and had a high rate of tactical discipline execution. Trapani saw that the momentum was not right, so he simply started to dawdle. In short, according to Hugo's arrangement, don't lose the ball easily!
