My name is Colani

Chapter 509 237 First Derby 4

After some trouble, Amori's foot was healed and he could move freely. However, the penalty was not taken by him, but by Palermo's old captain Corini. This guy is not young, but he plays a key role in Palermo's team and has good technical ability.

Kameni failed to create a miracle, and Corini easily scored the goal!

The home team fans at the Barbera Stadium cheered, and the boos from the visiting Trapani fans seemed very weak.

Hugo always liked to watch Zamparini's actions. Zamparini held a cigar in his mouth and clapped his hands to celebrate, which made Hugo want to beat him up.

Klinsmann did not make any substitutions. He called Ballack to his side and gave him a lecture. I don't know if Ballack listened or not. Anyway, Ballack had no expression on his face.

Klinsmann's instructions to Ballack required Ballack not to make excessive forward runs. He needed Ballack to focus on defense, and he also made changes to the formation, letting Messi and Vucinic play on both sides and making Toni the single center forward.

Trapani's formation was adjusted to 333, which was a weird adjustment, but it was difficult for Klinsmann to give up the attack because of one less player.

Ballack was unhappy. He had his own ideas. There was no problem with the formation change, but Klinsmann should replace Cesar with a defensive midfielder to give him space to advance. But now Klinsmann did not make any substitutions and specifically told him to focus on defense. Do you think he would be happy? !

But please don't doubt Ballack's professionalism. This guy is a typical representative of the German tank, a big game player. The more pressure he is under, the better he can perform. It may be a bit difficult to ask him to strictly follow Klinsmann's tactics, but at least his attitude is in place.

Because Victor was sent off, Maicon and Jankulovski's forward insertion was almost impossible to achieve, and because of one less player, Trapani can only pursue a simpler pass at present, and the forward line needs to go back a little deeper to shorten the pass distance.

Guidolin obviously had times when he couldn't control the situation. He felt that the team shouldn't press forward like that, but how could the excited Palermo players control themselves when the opponent was one man short and the forwards were withdrawn?

Why did Klinsmann change the center to three midfielders? The purpose was to strengthen the defensive strength in the center. Palermo played with a single striker, and Klinsmann gave Samuel unlimited trust, just to keep a close eye on Amauri.

Klinsmann was in a semi-abandoned state on the wing. They could pass the ball if they wanted. As long as the defense in the center was done well, Palermo would definitely not be able to do anything!

A few minutes later, in the 41st minute, Palermo, who had been pressing Trapani, finally suffered the consequences. Simplicio was overconfident in the middle and tried to pass the ball, but lost the ball in a tangle with Essien. Rizzoli did not call a foul on Essien. Essien dribbled the ball forward, made a two-on-one match with Ballack, and then passed the ball. Messi ran like lightning, and poked the ball before Corini, quickly passed Corini's defense, and rushed to the middle.

Brienza, the defensive midfielder in the middle, was like a wooden stake. The closer Messi got to him, the more panicked he became. He had already made up his mind that if Messi came over, he would definitely knock Messi to the ground as soon as possible.

But Messi passed the ball, and Toni leaned on Pisano and passed the ball to Messi tacitly. This two-pass one was also done very easily. The Palermo defense line, which was originally in a good position, was easily torn apart because their offensive pressure and the transition between offense and defense were much looser than in positional warfare, which gave Trapani enough space.

For a post center forward like Toni, the ability to hold the ball with his back is a key ability. His ability to hold the ball with his back is very strong because he has a body, tall and long legs, and a strong body. Pisano can't do anything to him.

After passing the ball, Toni was kicked by Pisano, but he didn't care about the pain at this time. Toni tried hard to rush to the penalty area. Pisano didn't let him pass, and he reached out to hug him, and Toni fell to the ground.

But Trapani's attack was not over. At the two-pass one point between Toni and Messi, Cassani was also assisting in defense. He quickly approached Messi. When Messi was about to collide with Cassani, he passed the ball diagonally.

Vucinic, who temporarily changed to play as a left winger, competed with Zacardo in speed. Zacardo failed to beat Vucinic. Vucinic made a flanking move at the back of the small penalty area. Before Zacardo could make a tackle, he made a low shot to the near corner. Aliardi was unable to save the ball and the ball went into the net.

Trapani, who faced 10 players, actually equalized the score. The Trapani fans in the stands immediately burst into deafening cheers!

Hugo and his friends jumped up from the stands. Hugo was so angry that he raised his middle finger to Zamparini, "Come on, come on! Just do it!"

It wasn't just Zamparini who saw it!

Vucinic put his hands next to his ears and ran happily to the away team's stand. This was his first appearance in Trapani. He also heard some rumors that Trapani had chosen between him and Amauri. Now he scored a goal, which also proved his strength.

Messi was knocked to the ground by Cassani's inertia. He had tried his best. Toni's ball-making speed was not very fast, giving Cassani time to quickly fill in the position. He could only choose to pass the ball. If he dribbled the ball, he would definitely pass it past the opponent. So he made up his mind at that moment to pass the ball. As for whether there would be anyone at the far end, he actually didn't know at all. He just prayed that Vucinic would appear in the right position. When he focused his eyes on the far end, Vucinic had already scored the ball. Messi slammed the ground hard. It was very satisfying, wasn't it? !

Balak was also very excited and waved his fist fiercely. Speaking of this goal, the most important thing is that the tacit understanding between Essien, Messi, and Toni, the old players, is very high, plus the unremitting Vucinic created this equalizing goal. Ballack's contribution is not much, but he is also a member of the team.

Klinsmann clenched his fist and shook it to celebrate. Even if it was over, his face was not so serious. His opponent Guidolin took this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction. The players of Palermo did not listen to him. He had said that they should pay special attention to the transition between offense and defense and not give the opponent too much space. As a result, Palermo was still hit.

This is the result of the carelessness of the players of Palermo!

"You are facing the defending champions! You have never found victory in your opponents since you were promoted to the first division!" If it weren't on the court at this time, Guidolin would want to scold his players like this, they are idiots!

"We tied the score! Great goal! Mirko Vucinic! This young man who just joined us scored a goal in his first start! Haha, 10 million euros, this deal is very cost-effective, he proved that he deserves Trapani!" Agostino led the Trapani fans in front of the TV to go crazy together.

After the restart, Palermo players played more carefully. They passed the ball more cautiously. I don't know if Trapani was affected by this goal. Ballack's attitude in returning to defense was much better. He concentrated on standing in his position and didn't give the opponent any chance.

Amauri seemed a little quiet. After more than 30 minutes of publicity, Samuel was replaced. He was shorter than Amauri, but he was like a sticky candy in defense. He stuck to Amauri tightly. Palermo players were fooled. Seeing that Amauri was watched very closely, they rarely gave Amauri the ball. Amauri hadn't been able to get the ball for a while.

Guidolin was really angry. Why did Palermo players suddenly become timid? I'm afraid it's difficult for him to guess their thoughts. I said don't take risks, but you should have normal means. Break through when you should break through, cross when you should cross, and run when you should run. Don't make it too damn tight!

It was not easy for Trapani to win the ball. The last few minutes were almost spent in useless back-passes. Rizzoli blew the whistle for the end of the first half after 4 minutes of injury time. The two sides tied 1:1 in the first half.
