My name is Colani

At the dinner, the two also talked about the work of the club. Real Madrid was originally the best team in the 20th century, so they have a lot of experience worth learning from Trapani. For the first time, Florentino admitted in front of Hugo that the introduction of Zidane or Beckham and others was not only for competitive purposes, but also for more important commercial purposes.

"I am a businessman. The current era is completely different from the past! Running a club is like doing business. What is best for the club is the right way!" Returning to the position of chairman, Florentino seemed high-spirited. Fortunately, Calderon was in front. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Real Madrid members clearly realized that it is better to let Florentino on the stage than to let Calderon on the stage.

In the communication with Hugo and others, Florentino still put competition in a very important position. This is inevitable. In fact, the evaluation of whether a club is successful is mainly in competition. When it comes to making money, the Pozzo family can make a lot of money, but Udinese will never be a great club.

Hugo's understanding is more profound. He comes from a world with a very developed network. He knows the power of traffic stars.

But the old man is not a future man, but his path is similar to his. Hugo still admires the old man's business.

During this dinner, the two sides also reached a private gentleman's agreement. The old man promised Hugo that he would never poach players without Trapani's knowledge, and Trapani would not do so either. The old man did not doubt that Hugo had the ability to buy the best players in the world.

First, Hugo is rich, and second, he dared to invest money when he was angry. No boss is more generous than him.

The old man also respects Hugo. He believes from the bottom of his heart that Hugo is a fucking genius who makes money and can always think of various ideas to make money.

Later, everyone talked about their respective coaches. Compared with Trapani, the locker room of Real Madrid has always been uneasy. The current head coach of Real Madrid is Pellegrini, who can be regarded as an old acquaintance of Hugo. Trapani has played against Villarreal several times, and Pellegrini was in office.

Hugo boldly predicted that Pellegrini would fail in Real Madrid because he could not control the locker room. Once a crisis occurred, Pellegrini's qualifications could not control the situation.

This is different from Trapani. Trapani also has many superstars, but basically many of them have played for Trapani for many years and have a deep affection for the team. It will not happen to get rid of the head coach. This is Trapani's advantage over Real Madrid. Trapani has centripetal force and cohesion.

The old man obviously also had some expectations, but in the current situation, there are not many coaches to find. Real Madrid fans are a group of picky fans. They not only want to win, but also want to win beautifully. It is very difficult to choose a conservative coach. Capello was invited by Calderon. What if he won the championship? The fans booed him and gave him a very low evaluation.

...

The next night, this highly anticipated game was finally staged at the Bernabeu. Trapani's senior executives sat in the box and waited patiently for the start of the game.

In the home team's locker room, Pellegrini was making the final pre-match mobilization. For Real Madrid's players, this was a game they were looking forward to. From the moment they were assigned to this group, public opinion believed that they could only take second place in the group, and first place was out of the question. Trapani didn't seem to be a team of the same level as them.

"When I first led the team here, for me, the Bernabeu was a football sanctuary! Our club is the greatest club in the world, and our stadium is also the greatest stadium in the world! Today I hope you can use your actions on the field to tell everyone that this is the Bernabeu, even if the opponent is Trapani, who is considered one of the biggest favorites in this year's Champions League, but we should tell them that this is the Bernabeu..."

Pellegrini didn't like to make pre-match mobilizations, but this game was too important for him and the team. He needed this victory to prove that he was worthy of Real Madrid. You know, when he became the head coach of Real Madrid, public opinion was shocked. Obviously, everyone thought he was not worthy of Real Madrid. Now it's time to slap his face.

For the team, there are too many newcomers this summer, and the main lineup has changed a lot. A heavyweight victory can greatly improve the morale of the team and let everyone know that they can defeat any opponent.

In the away team's locker room, Trapani's atmosphere is not so grand. Everyone is talking and laughing as they prepare for this fierce battle. For Trapani, the Champions League experience is very rich, and the team has enough ability to deal with any opponent. For them, there is only one purpose to come to the Bernabeu, that is, victory.

Bielsa has nothing to say, but assistant coach Pochettino clapped his hands and reminded every player.

"We need to play fast and learn to control the rhythm. Their offense is known for its speed, so we must use a faster rhythm to defeat them!"

"Remember, this is not an ordinary game! This is an absolute first-place game in the group! For this game, everyone must play this game with the attitude of playing the final!"

"Pay attention to the distance between the three lines and pay attention to defensive protection!"

"Strengthen the containment of Cristiano Ronaldo and pay attention to his long-range shots! Carlos, don't be distracted today. You have been Ronaldo's teammate and you know his characteristics!"

Pochettino has the potential to be a head coach and he speaks in a very realistic way.

Before the game started, Kenyon once asked Hugo if he wanted to visit everyone in the locker room. Hugo finally refused. He didn't want to add trouble to the players. The work that should be done had been done. His aura was too strong. It would not be a good thing for everyone to go.

After sitting in the stands for a long time, the game was finally about to start.

During the period when Trapani was playing this game, the team's injury problem was actually a bit serious. The core of the defense, Barzali, was injured during the national team match day and missed the game for two months, and Toni was also injured and missed the game. Henry on the front line was also absent for a month due to injury.

Bielsa finally used a 433 lineup in this game. This was the first time he used such a formation in the Champions League this season.

Goalkeeper: Kameni

Defenders: Maggio, Victor, Boateng, Evra

Midfielders: Mascherano, Schweinsteiger, Kaka

Forwards: Messi, Di Maria, Suarez

Pellegrini of Real Madrid used a 442 formation:

Goalkeeper: Casillas

Defenders: Ramos, Pepe, Albiol, Marcelo

Midfielders: Las Diarra, Xabi Alonso, Ronaldo, Granero

Forwards: Raul, Benzema

The average age of these two teams is not large. There are many new players on the Real Madrid side, and there are also old players from Trapani. Pepe played for Trapani before, but he failed to make a name for himself in Trapani. After returning to Porto, this guy has become a little smarter. Mendes knows how to do business and recommended Pepe to Calderon. Calderon paid 30 million euros for this. At that time, this deal surprised everyone because Pepe was not worth the price at all.

This guy is just like his fellow countryman Luis, and is still a little irritable. Bielsa did not dare to use David Luiz in this game. He would rather use Victor. Victor has not been mentally focused enough this season, but he has experience. Once he is alert, he will be of great use in such an important game!
