My name is Colani

Chapter 358 86. Black start in the Champions League

Baldini stamped his feet hard and jumped up. It was a pity that Parma had played the most threatening attack so far, but who could be blamed? Their counterattacks relied too much on Gilardino's personal ability. There were too few people involved. When the ball reached the frontcourt, there was only one passer, Marchionni, and Gilardino. Li Tie returned to defense, Fiore had not yet reached the penalty area, and Bresciano on the other side was even farther away.

This threat lasted for a while. In the 76th minute, Zeman replaced Maggio with Maicon and replaced Miku, who was a little exhausted, with Ledesma. Zeman's plan was very simple, to increase defense in the middle and continue to increase impact on the wing.

In fact, the main right back he favored in the new season was Maicon. Although he had not been in the team for a long time, he felt that Maicon's abilities in all aspects were more outstanding than Maggio.

At this stage of the game, there was the purpose of strengthening the wing attack and also the intention of letting Maicon adapt to the Serie A arena.

The surprise came two minutes later. Maicon sent a fatal cross from the wing within two minutes of coming on the field. Tony, with a header, hit the door frame hard, and Frey raised his hands in surrender.

Trapani basically locked the victory. Gilardino was helpless in the frontcourt. There was no way Parma's tactical play could not be played at all. Even a blind man could see that Parma could never get an advantage on the wing. Zeman was also a strange person. Maybe he knew Baldini's tactical ideas long ago, but he went against you on the wing, attacking instead of defending, suppressing Parma's wing attack.

With the decline in physical strength, Parma's offense began to improve in the later time, but the number of people was not enough for them to save the defeat. In the end, they lost to Trapani at home with an embarrassing score of 0:2.

Trapani's tactics today were successful. Although they did not complete many shots throughout the game, they did a good job of suppressing. The fans in front of the TV were also very satisfied with the team's performance. Hugo, who did not follow the team to the away game, was also very satisfied.

Zeman won the first victory and seemed much more confident in the press conference after the game.

"Hugo didn't give me any goals. I am very grateful for his tolerance and understanding! But I have my own goals. I hope we can continue to be in the top four in the new season!"

Good guy, this is very responsible. The new season is difficult, isn't it? When Hugo saw this news, he was very surprised. The competition for the top four in Serie A is very fierce. There are many teams that are better than Trapani and have stronger lineups. If you count carefully, the two Milan giants, Juventus, and Roma are more capable than Trapani to compete for the top four.

It seems that no one is really stronger than Trapani's lineup. This summer, the transfer fee is still not much. It took a small amount of money to do a big thing.

Hugo thought again that this goal is actually not bad, but he always thought of Domenico's article in his mind. Defense is Zeman's weakness.

After the first round of the game with Parma, Trapani immediately ushered in the first round of the Champions League group match with Werder Bremen.

On the evening of September 14, the Barbera Stadium was a sea of ​​blue. Even though it was midweek, Trapani fans would not miss the first game of the Champions League in Trapani's history. The opponent Werder Bremen was also a team with strong offensive attributes. They had more European war experience than Trapani. Schaff had led Bremen for some years. They were challengers of Bayern Munich in China. They won the double crown of domestic competitions last season. They were also a Bundesliga powerhouse that could not be ignored in European wars.

For Trapani, home games cannot be lost. Only if they played well in three home games, they could have the possibility of qualifying. Away games were really a dangerous road, especially for the newcomers of the Champions League.

Hugo and Trapani's senior executives sat in the stands with great expectations, but the final result was bloody. Without Ribery, Zeman used Mascara. In this game, he adopted another mode of attack, using Toni as the offensive arrow.

He had his own ideas, but this idea was undoubtedly a failure. Tony spent too much energy on the entanglement with Mertesacker. Not only did he fail to play a pivotal role, but he injured himself in a fight shortly after the start of the second half and withdrew from the game.

Trapani also encountered a big problem. Lucarelli missed the opportunity and the defense line made frequent mistakes, allowing Werder Bremen to score 3:0 at home.

Hugo was very upset and was very dissatisfied with Zeman's arrangement. Zeman used Mascherano in the middle of the week, but Hugo thought he should use Li Tie. Werder Bremen is a big and open offensive team with good overall quality. It pays great attention to crosses. Mascherano's small body is not at an advantage when surrounded by a group of big men in the Bundesliga.

Sharp-eyed people can see that Hugo did not persist until the end of the game and left the stadium. Later, everyone will know that Hugo did not go to the locker room or talk to Zeman.

Hugo was very angry. The team's performance really disappointed him. Even if it was an unfamiliar Bundesliga team, even if it was a top team, what the hell was the Bundesliga? I even fought against Juventus and Milan last season, why was I beaten so badly by Bremen? !

The reason why Hugo left early was that he didn't want to get angry. He didn't want to get angry. In his opinion, Trapani's players were a group of responsible players, and Zeman was also a responsible and ideal coach. Why did he stay there? ! Unable to restrain his anger and vent it to everyone, maybe it was adding fuel to the fire.

As the owner and chairman of Trapani, Hugo let the team go without saying a word and refused the post-match news interview, but the Italian media will never let Zeman go. The Italian football world does not like Zeman and hates his big mouth. It was originally a good day, the greatest day in Trapani's history so far, but it was messed up. Who is responsible for this? Zeman.

"The old Zeman looked helpless on the sidelines of the court. This picture freezes his powerlessness!" Turin Sports Daily first posted a big-character poster. The photo on the front page was Zeman standing speechless next to the coaching seat on the court.

The photographer's skills are very good, and Zeman's "helplessness" is very vivid, but only they themselves know that this photo was not taken when Bremen beat Trapani 3:0, but when the game just started, Zeman was captured by the photographer when he was thinking about the situation on the court.

Turin Sports Daily is not the first one. Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, La Repubblica, and even Hugo and Feningwester's joint venture New Sports have also criticized Zeman's views. As for the independence of news, Hugo will never interfere in these matters.

Besides, it is a good thing to have criticisms. He also wants to criticize Zeman and hates this old man for being too nervous.

Zeman's crime of defeat was summarized in several points. First, he did not know the enemy. When it comes to pre-game preparation, Zeman is obviously a bit careless. Zeman is more concerned about the style of his team. In general, he is self-centered. In terms of tactical restrictions, he did not make effective arrangements for Werder Bremen, resulting in Werder Bremen not being restricted and the offense being open. In a competition like the Champions League, as a newcomer, Zeman is too arrogant.

Second, he does not know himself. This is what Hugo secretly criticized Zeman for. There is something wrong with your deployment. This person is not suitable, that person is not suitable. It is rare to see that Li Tie, a Chinese who can't play football, has become the starter in everyone's eyes.

Thirdly, compared with last season, Zeman's defensive system has not made any progress. Playing against Parma is simply an illusion. Playing against a European powerhouse like Werder Bremen, Trapani showed his true colors. Whose fault is this? Of course, it's Zeman's.

Among all these, it is interesting that the Turin Sports Daily, which has never been on good terms with Hugo, actually wrote Hugo into the article and praised Hugo, "If Hugo is still the head coach of the team, Trapani will definitely not suffer such a miserable defeat, at least the defense will definitely not be so fragile!"
