My name is Colani

In view of Trapani’s record of dismissing Jurgen Klinsmann just two months after taking office last season, media such as Tuttosport did not consider it a big deal and speculated that Bielsa could be in Trapani. After sitting in the coaching position for a few days, some betting companies even lowered Bielsa's odds of dismissal.

One game seemed to put Trapani at the forefront of the storm, and the club's senior management's constant refuting of rumors from the outside world seemed more like weak rebuttals in everyone's eyes.

However, the atmosphere within the team was not that bad. Bielsa quickly obtained the data analysis of this game. Whether it was individual or overall data, he sent it to every player. Losing naturally made everyone feel sad. Feel unpleasant.

"Losing is, of course, a terrible thing! This proves two things. The first thing we didn't do well enough, and the second thing we didn't do well enough! We need to change the current state. I We need you to believe that we can succeed!" Bielsa said on the training ground.

Bielsa is the head coach. He first stabilized his mind and comforted his players. In fact, this guy is very capable and his brainwashing skills are top-notch. No matter where he goes, the players listen to his words. After arriving in Trapani for more than a month, not to mention other words and deeds, the players are generally quite optimistic about Bielsa's tactical concepts. Everyone is convinced that the team can play beautiful football, a style of football that is completely different from Italian football.

Therefore, the blow of defeat is definitely there, but it is by no means as exaggerated as the outside world exaggerates.

Hugo did not go to the Super Bowl. The life of a dad seems to be more suitable for him now. The team lost the game, and Hugo was not angry. Today he finally brought his son to visit everyone for the first time. Without him, it was just for him. To encourage the team, he will continue to trust Bielsa no matter how many losses he loses.

After losing the Super Cup, the "Torino Sports Daily" report did not make him angry, but made him a little wary. He could not make the same mistake. Until now, he has actually regretted not giving Klinsmann enough time. Now Such a regret cannot happen to Bielsa. He should get more sufficient time. Even if he gets nothing, Hugo plans to support Bielsa in coaching for at least one year.

So he came and took his son Angelo to the training ground just to cheer everyone up.

"I know losing will definitely make everyone feel sad, but I don't think it's a big deal. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. We can't get all the honors. Although we have been trying to win, it is not easy. Things! You know what I'm most worried about now? I'm not afraid of you losing your fighting spirit, because you are very professional and you know what you should do!" Hugo said to the crowd.

"What I'm most worried about is that you lose trust in Mr. Bielsa!" Hugo pointed at Bielsa.

"I have communicated a lot with Mr. Bielsa. I know that he is a very good coach no matter in the past or now. I admire his tactical concepts very much. I have great trust in him. I hope you will be like me. I guess you also saw a lot of bright spots in Bielsa!”

"For example, he is very patient and meticulous. I know that each of you has received his careful guidance during this period. Young players can grow up quickly. Older players, Luca, David, Thierry, you I can feel something brand new!" Hugo was counting Bielsa's advantages. Bielsa really doesn't like the media because he is a pure football person, but he has no obstacles in communicating with players. He has many advantages. It's quite a lot, otherwise I wouldn't be impressed by this group of players.

Even Victor likes him very much. After losing the game, the players blamed themselves more. They failed to show their strength on the training field. Now more people understand why Bielsa has always emphasized passing. In terms of passing, practice has proven that under the fast pace and intense pressing, their passing skills are indeed not up to par. This is different from previous control.

Of course it feels easier to control the ball at a slow pace, but as the pace speeds up, the fluency will definitely be greatly affected. What Bielsa wants everyone to do is to control the ball at a fast pace, which is very demanding.

"I always firmly believe that he can not only help us win the championship, but also win the championship beautifully!" Hugo said this, as if he was here to calm Bielsa.

"Okay, okay! That's all! In short, you are all people who have gone through big storms. Don't be arrogant in victory and don't be discouraged in defeat. Since you believe in the head coach, you should persevere as always. I think you did a good job last season. Okay!" Hugo mentioned insinuatingly that everyone knew what happened last season. Who allowed Hugo to have a spy on this team? He knew exactly what everyone was thinking.

Ranieri's increasingly rigid tactical philosophy last season was dissatisfying, but in the end they persisted, and they succeeded. Hugo is bringing up old matters again at this time, and still hopes that everyone can "persist"!

The players continued to train, and Victor played football with his nephew. Hugo pulled Bielsa aside and said, "Mr. Bielsa, you don't have to worry too much! I have always trusted you, and I am also optimistic about your career in Trapani." future!"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Colemani!" Bielsa said sincerely. It's not that the president didn't support him. He was strongly supported by the club president in Mexico and Argentina. But it's not easy in European football. Football clubs here are obviously more rational. The so-called rationality means that business is business. The relationship between the club and the head coach is more of a business relationship. If you don't do well, you deserve to be unlucky and leave.

Many clubs' rumor-refuting is limited to the outside world, but Hugo came to stand guard in person to let the players continue to follow Bielsa wholeheartedly. This approach is not easy.

"There are a lot of rumors outside, don't worry!" Hugo patted Bielsa on the shoulder and said.

"I don't care about them at all! It's just that the media here is more difficult to deal with! I don't like dealing with them at all!" Bielsa smiled.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If we don't face them, we'll be fined!" Hugo shrugged. "It's best if you don't care. I can tell you for sure that your position is very stable. No matter how bad the results are, I'm sure you can get a year here! But I sincerely hope that you can lead the team to play well!"

A week later, Trapani ushered in the first game, home against Atalanta. Atalanta has always adhered to its own business model. They may be one of the few relatively healthy teams in Italy. Although the results are in the middle every year, the relegation line has always been far away from them. This team is not so easy to deal with.

This summer, not only Trapani, but the entire Serie A has shown signs of shrinking money. Everyone doesn't spend much. That is, Juventus, a giant that has just been promoted to the Serie A, has spent a lot of money. Teams like Atalanta spend even less. They must maintain a balance between income and expenditure and cannot lose money.

The impact of the phone gate and the violent incidents have caused many teams to lose a lot of money. Because everyone's stadiums were closed, a lot of income was lost. In addition, Italy's economy is getting worse and worse. Many teams' backstage bosses are facing difficulties in operation. It is natural that there is no big investment this summer.

In terms of outbound transfers, the departure of Vieri, who had the greatest impact on Atalanta, did not actually have much impact on the team, because he did not play many games last season. On the contrary, the departure of striker Ventola and defender Loria was a pity, and the two were only exchanged for 700,000 euros.

In the inbound market, Langella is expected. Although he was "wasted" in Cagliari, if he can recover the state of one year ago, he can still be expected. However, the scoring ability of Floccari bought from Messina and Musrimovic introduced from Parma is far behind Ventola. The Argentine Osvaldo did not stay, and Songqin has also returned to Ascoli. With only Zampagna alone, the team's forward line may be in trouble.

Their personnel changes are much smaller than the signings of some teams who change teams at will.

Last season's head coach Colantono left and Del Neri took over in the new season. It is hard to say whether Atalanta can play better than last season. As for Del Neri, people's memory of him may still be stuck on the miracle of the "flying donkey" turning into a dark horse. However, the facts have proved that after leaving Chievo, Del Neri's halo disappeared.
