My name is Colani

Chapter 744 Pjanic

Hugo and Aulas sat together. Lyon was also a member of G14 before. Later, the European Football Club Association and Platini reconciled, and Lyon also joined the European Club Football Association. Hugo himself is the vice president of the association, but in the past year or so, he has not been very competent as the vice president, and basically does not care about things. Fortunately, the position of vice president itself has two purposes, one is to manage things, and the other is not to care about things. Hugo is the vice president who does not care about things now.

Aulas did not receive him with any strong purpose. It was a normal interaction. After all, it is not a bad thing to be familiar with Hugo.

After yesterday's dinner, everyone's relationship was very familiar. Today, Aulas did not mind joking with Hugo. Everyone sat down and the game was about to start.

Messi was wearing gloves on his hands and stood in the center circle waiting for the kick-off. The weather today was too cold, and it was snowing on the scene. He wore long sleeves, but he was still breathing on his hands.

Aulas saw this scene, so he joked to Hugo: "Look, look, your nuclear weapons are frozen!"

Aolas really described Messi as a nuclear weapon, which shows Messi's current influence. Before the game, Poole also pointed out the difference of Messi, saying that Messi is a magician. Aulas and Poole are not very harmonious, but they still have the ability to identify good players.

"It will be fine after a while! But this damn weather will really cause a lot of trouble to my team. It's snowing now!" Hugo shook his head depressedly.

The referee Atkinson blew the whistle. Trapani encountered the British referee Clattenburg in the group stage. Now the referee Atkinson in the knockout stage is also famous. Like Clattenburg, he also makes misjudgments in the Premier League, but it is obviously different from Italy.

The English Football Association attaches great importance to the authority of referees. Even if the referee makes a wrong judgment, they are their own people and they can deal with it. If anyone talks nonsense, the English Football Association will fine them. Therefore, referees in England will be criticized by the media, but they are not easily blamed by the team.

In this regard, Italy and England are very different. The Football Association in Italy is weak and the protection of referees is obviously not enough, which leads to anyone criticizing the referee. To put it bluntly, scolding the referee after playing football has become the norm for Serie A bosses, head coaches, and players. Hugo also scolded the referee.

The outbreak of the phone gate incident put the referee at the forefront of the storm. Therefore, refereeing in Italy is not a respected job. Once a misjudgment occurs, everyone immediately associates it with the black whistle, but few Premier League teams blame referees in this way.

The weather was very cold, but that didn't stop Bielsa from squatting on the sidelines. The old guy wore a baseball cap and sat on the water tank on the sidelines. Fortunately, there was a towel under the water tank that he had prepared so that his butt would not be too cold. But even so, the snowy weather was enough to bear.

The Trapani players on the field were also uncomfortable. They had been training in the climate of Trapani for a long time. Even though they had encountered such away games before, the climate conditions like today were a bit extreme. There was snow and it was minus 10 degrees, which made everyone feel uncomfortable and a little stiff.

Lyon's players were different. Their training environment was completely different from Trapani's. They were much more adaptable to such a climate. Although they were also annoyed today, it was at least better than Trapani. The game just started, and Lyon's players boldly pressed forward. It was really like Poole said that they would not defend to the death.

Trapani's players were stiff. The two or three minutes of warm-up before the game was useless. Lyon showed a suppressive trend. Mascherano, who had not made mistakes for a long time, also made mistakes. Lyon got continuous shooting opportunities. It was not obvious that its strength was weaker than Trapani.

"Hey, who is that little guy?!" After playing for a few minutes, Hugo was not concerned about the situation, but became interested in a thin young man on the Lyon side.

"Which one?!" Aulas looked over along Hugo's finger. After all, who the hell knew who Hugo was referring to from such a distance? !

"No. 8!" Hugo saw the jersey number.

"Oh, you are talking about that little guy! His name is Miralem Pjanic, a Bosnian! A talented little guy, I like him very much! What?! Gigi, you like him too!" Aulas said proudly.

Miralem Pjanic was born in Zvornik, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is not yet 20 years old, just over 19 years old, and will turn 20 in April this year.

Although Pjanic is a Bosnian, he didn't live in Bosnia for long. When he was just over one year old, he followed his parents to immigrate to Luxembourg. At that time, Eastern Europe was in a period of upheaval. Yugoslavia fell apart and there were wars all day long, which caused a lot of refugee waves. Many people fled to Western European countries, and Pjanic's parents were one of them. So in fact, Pjanic did not receive youth training in Bosnia and Herzegovina, nor did he live in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Pjanic started to receive youth football training when he was still very young. The Luxembourg national team was a weak team, but the basic work of the kid was still very good. Pjanic quickly showed his talent. At the age of 14, he was spotted by Metz. Metz's youth training is still quite good. This club is also good at cultivating some young people. Pires, Adebayor and others have played here.

Then Pjanic, who had just emerged, transferred to Lyon for 7.5 million euros in the summer of 2008. He was only 18 years old at the time. This was impressive enough. Just looking at the price, you can tell how optimistic he was.

However, this was not enough to reach Hugo's ears. After all, Hugo was a big shot, so Hugo knew nothing about Pjanic before this game.

"Hey, I'm a little interested. He's very smart and plays like a general!" Hugo smiled and said, "Introduce him, Mr. Aulas! If possible, we can buy him!"

"That won't work. He's not for sale!" Aulas immediately pretended in front of Hugo, and then told Hugo everything about Pjanic.

7.5 million euros to buy an 18-year-old boy, for a French Ligue 1 team, this is something no one dares to do. This deal was naturally approved by Aulas. He knows a lot about Pjanic, and it seems that this old guy cherishes talent.

Pjanic was mostly a substitute in Lyon last season and his performance was average, but Juninho's status is declining this season. Pjanic was originally bought to be Juninho's successor. This guy did a pretty good job and performed very well in the Champions League. He has completed three goals and two assists in the group stage. For a midfielder, this is definitely a brilliant achievement.

Aulas focused on introducing Pjanic this season. Hugo couldn't help but brighten up when he heard it. Ligue 1 is not so awesome in his eyes. His own team Guingamp returned to the embrace of Ligue 1 last season and is still in the upper reaches. He knew that Guingamp's small body was not very thick, but it was like this, which shows that the level of Ligue 1 is not high.

But Ligue 1 is one of the top five leagues after all. Pjanic can produce such a transcript when he is less than 20 years old. He definitely has a bright future. Hugo saw Pjanic's handling of the ball and knew that Aulas made the right bet. Pjanic can make him a lot of money.

Pjanic handled the ball very maturely, showing a maturity that was different from his age. At the beginning of the first half, Trapani did not find his form, and the connection between the midfield and the back line was not tight. Lyon took the winger route. Pjanic, a player who was short-sighted in the front midfielder position, played a crucial role. He passed the ball in one step several times and brought threats to Trapani.

The game was exactly ten minutes in, and Lyon scored at home. Lyon played a fast and smooth cooperation in the frontcourt. Gowu knocked the ball in the middle, and Pjanic took the ball and shot a weird long shot, which directly broke Kameni's goal!
