My name is Colani
Chapter 394 The new season begins
Trapani's air defense has always been a weak point. If there are experienced players, experience can make up for the height difference, but the problem is that Trapani's defense line has never had very experienced players. Barzagli and Victor all came from the lower-level leagues with Trapani. They still seem to be quite struggling against top center forwards.
It was better to have Natali before, but later Natali went to Udinese. Rinaudo had height, but not only lacked strength but also lacked experience. Trapani no longer had a central defender over 190cm tall.
Deschamps recognized De Las's arrival, and he also valued De Las's air defense ability.
So far, Trapani's transfer operation has been basically completed, and Trapani still has money to operate, but the key is to look at the right place. There is still the possibility of strengthening the midfield. Seli is actively working to introduce a player who will significantly improve the team's midfield strength.
Before the away game against Sporting Lisbon, Hugo promised the team a huge sum of money. He promised that if the team could enter the Champions League, he would give everyone a huge reward of 10 million euros.
Hugo himself thought that it was more difficult to play in the Champions League play-offs this season than last season. First, the team's lineup has changed a lot, and Deschamps has made a lot of tactical adjustments; second, the opponent is not the same. This time they are playing against Sporting Lisbon, a traditional powerhouse in Portugal. They are particularly good at attacking. Trapani's weakness happens to be defense. Deschamps has not taken over the team for a long time, and Hugo cannot guarantee that the team's defense will have a qualitative change.
Hugo followed the team to Portugal, where he was warmly received by Sporting Lisbon's chairman Dagenia. The two clubs have cooperated in the past, but there have been fewer exchanges in recent years. Trapani is now much more cautious about introducing current players from abroad.
The top management was very friendly, but the stadium conditions were not very friendly. Sporting Lisbon missed the UEFA Cup at home last season. They were going to make a comeback in the new season and prove themselves in the Champions League. They looked aggressive at home. Trapani's starting midfielders were Essien and Pizarro. Trapani's parallel position was completely unable to suppress Sporting Lisbon's ball control.
The main reason was that the team did not have a thorough understanding of Deschamps' tactics, and Deschamps' ideas did not allow Trapani's players to realize them.
So Trapani was in a passive situation. Deschamps could not make temporary tactical adjustments and shrank the formation. In the first half, he relied on tenacious defense to tie Sporting Lisbon.
In the second half, Deschamps made tactical changes, letting veteran Miku play, starting center forward Vieri off the field, changing the formation to 433, Klose as the single striker, and the situation on the field improved a lot. Trapani clearly had the advantage in the second half. In the end, relying on Ribery's assists and Miku's header, they beat Sporting Lisbon 1:0.
The team got off to a good start in the new season. The away result was very ideal. After returning to the home court, they had a clearer understanding of the entire Sporting Lisbon Trapani team. Deschamps should be able to adjust the team's status.
While Trapani was playing in the European war, the Italian football world was in chaos again. The Italian football world has always been dirty and chaotic. Hugo, who has money and abides by the rules of the game, is naturally not afraid of anyone, but many teams in the Italian football leagues at all levels do not abide by the rules. Match-fixing and gambling happen from time to time. Well, Hugo also had match-fixing, but he was lucky to escape.
Some teams are not so lucky. Next year is the World Cup year. It stands to reason that the league should start early. Serie A is the league that starts later than other major leagues. It was originally scheduled to open the new season in mid-August, but now it has encountered difficulties.
According to the ruling made by the Lazio Regional Court last week, Genoa and Torino were punished and relegated. In particular, the Football Association's Disciplinary Committee has recently rejected the appeal of the Genoa Club, and decided that they will compete in the C1 League next season after being successfully promoted, and will be deducted 3 points from the beginning.
Genoa's punishment is related to suspected involvement in match-fixing. Unlike them, Torino and the Serie B clubs Perugia and Salernitana failed to pass the registration required by the Football Association due to financial problems. According to past practice, such bankrupt clubs will be directly relegated to the C2 League. Fiorentina once suffered such a misfortune in 2002. But this time the Football Association said that it could show mercy and only punish these clubs by relegating them to one level, that is, Torino will be relegated to Serie B, Perugia and Salernitana will be relegated to Serie C, but at the same time, the players of these clubs will be allowed to transfer freely.
Due to a series of unexpected reasons, the Football Association postponed the date of announcing the new season schedule to August 19, which will obviously have a significant impact on the preparations of each team. On the other hand, since the two newly promoted teams, Torino and Genoa, were stripped of their Serie A qualifications, two places in Serie A were vacant, and the Football Association wanted to give them to Bologna and Reggina.
As long as Carraro and his ilk were optimistic about the team, how could Hugo not mess up? He returned to Italy from Lisbon and instructed his cousin Morek to tell reporters in an interview: "In my opinion, this is unfair to the other two teams. We should give more opportunities to the Serie B teams!"
Hugo said this not without purpose, nor was he crazy and had to offend Bologna and Reggina, but because the league is about to start. According to the ranking, the teams from Serie B that can enter Serie A are Treviso and Ascoli. First of all, they are not strong. Secondly, if they really enter Serie A, they will not have much time to transfer, and it is almost impossible for them to make a big move.
In this way, they are completely rookies in Serie A. Trapani's current situation certainly hopes that there will be more rookies in the league. Trapani is a strong team after all, so this mentality is normal.
Since Trapani has spoken out, many Serie A teams have also spoken out, good, good, it's them, and two relegation spots for next season have been determined at once. How good is that? It is definitely better than Bologna and Reggina staying in Serie A.
Hugo did something unwise this time, because there was a lot of controversy within the Football Association. Didn't Galliani and Moggi know what Hugo was after? Not only did they oppose the expansion, but they also favored Treviso and Ascoli in this incident. It's just that they were not as high-profile as Hugo. Now that Hugo had done something that offended people, they also rarely agreed with Hugo.
Now with the deterioration of the Italian football environment, the glory of the small World Cup has long been over. The accumulation of many problems has led to a very bad market situation now. Almost every team is facing management problems and cannot balance income and expenditure. The attendance rate of Serie A is getting worse and worse. Bankruptcy is common. The giants are shrinking their money, not to mention the non-giant teams. Trapani fans should be glad that they have a good boss who invests money wholeheartedly. This summer, Trapani has become the focus of the entire Serie A, buying and selling, and even the small boss Victor has been sent away. Various media have flocked to Trapani, which has brought Trapani a lot of extra income.
The Football Association finally agreed to the public's request and let Treviso and Ascoli play as substitutes. Then it also announced the schedule for the new season. The first round of the new season will start on August 28. Trapani had a second round match with Sporting Lisbon before. Before the second round, Trapani introduced the second goalkeeper Fontana in the goalkeeper position, completing the last piece of the puzzle. Trapani's chairman Morek announced in an interview that the team's transfer has ended.
There are 24 people in Trapani's first team in the 05-06 season.
Goalkeepers: Kameni, Fontana, Gilini
Defenders: Maggio, Maicon, Barzagli, Samuel, Delas, Peruso, Evra, Jankulovski
Midfielders: Mascherano, Padoin, Zabaleta, Miku, Li Tie, Essien, Ribery, Messi
Forwards: Toni, Vieri, Klose, Pelle, Borriello
The first team has been reduced compared to last year. After Zabaleta returned on loan, Trapani kept him. As for the wingers, Trapani has never added any because all of Trapani's full-backs are wingers. It is really not enough. Trapani can select candidates from the youth team.
