Chapter 873 166 Trabzonspor 1
In the first match of the new season of the Champions League, the Google Stadium attracted many political celebrities to watch the game. Victor also flew back from the United States with his daughter. Perhaps he saw that the team was not in good condition recently and wanted to come to the scene to cheer for the team. The team's famous Chinese star Li Tie also called to watch the stadium. The president of the Sicily Regional Council and other political figures also came to the Google Stadium.
As the chairman, Hugo was busy going around before the game and greeting various people. As a host, this courtesy is still required.
After finishing the work and sitting in the box, Hugo chatted with Victor and others in detail, talking about the situation in Los Angeles City, the progress of the Trapani Youth Training Academy in China, and some romantic things.
The next game started in a few minutes. Gunes used a 4231 formation in this game:
Goalkeeper: Tolga
Defenders: Selouska, Kierre, Glowac, Cech
Defensive midfielder: Coleman, Zokora
Attack midfielder: Serkan, Khalil Altintop, Aranzinho
Forward: Henrik
This team is average, but there are also several players who have played in mainstream leagues, such as Altintop and Zokora.
Wenger still used a 433 formation on Trapani's side. The goalkeeper on the back line is still Kameni, and the back line is Maggio, David Luiz, Barzagli, Evra, Mascherano, Modric, Kaka in the midfield, and Di Maria, Cavani and Cazorla on the front line.
Kameni has become less and less trusted by Wenger. The mistakes in the last game made Wenger feel that Kameni is not a qualified captain candidate at all. Kameni's habits are really not good, and he loses his concentration from time to time.
But Kameni's status is special. He cannot be excluded from the starting lineup. Veteran Storari cannot replace him. No one in the club has the intention to change him. Wenger knows that there are taboos in Trapani. Some people who have special connections with Hugo will not be driven away. Toni is the first person to get a lifetime contract, and Kameni may be the second. Barzagli and others are not as high in status as him.
So what can Wenger do? He has to use Kameni.
From the previous training situation, Aguero seems to be in better condition. After the start of the new season, Aguero has started once in these official matches, and Paul Fontano has also started once. The rest of the time is Cavani's starter. The old captain Toni is a substitute for several people, but the number of goals they scored is zero.
Cavani has been with the team for a longer time, so Wenger did not use Aguero, who seems to be in good training, in this game.
Gunes kept saying that he would defend, but in fact, it was not until the official game that we realized that what he said was just a lie. After the start, Trabzonspor started to grab the start. Their three axes were somewhat unexpected, with enough strength and courage. Neither the coach nor the players of Trapani expected that the weak Trabzonspor would be so courageous.
For a while, the scene fell into a kind of chaos, and Trapani could not take any advantage.
Gunes is experienced. In fact, Trabzonspor had played in the qualifiers of the Champions League before, against Benfica from the Portuguese Super League. In order to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in history, Gunes was cautious and the team played extremely conservatively. As a result, they were beaten by Benfica in two rounds and lost the qualification to qualify for the finals.
If it weren't for the Fenerbahce match-fixing incident later, there would be no Trabzonspor!
In terms of strength, Trabzonspor is not in the same league as Trapani. The strength comparison between the two sides is obvious. Gunes once thought that the defense was good after passing the test of the Champions League qualifiers, and he knew that it should not be taken too seriously. So facing Trapani's play, he simply let go and played, wanting to show the charm of Turkish football and let the giant knock out his teeth.
So there was a scene where Gunes publicly showed weakness but rose up on the court.
Before the game, the media once boasted that someone from Trabzonspor was a dangerous person worthy of attention, and Trapani must pay great attention to it. However, from the first ten minutes, it seemed that Trabzonspor's threat was actually limited. The chaos they caused to Trapani was mainly because it made it difficult for Trapani to control the situation. The competition for ball possession was fierce. In fact, they did not make any achievements in offense.
Ten minutes later, their shots remained at zero. They obviously focused on Maggio's side today. Gunes specifically placed Aranzinho on this side, but Aranzinho's performance was poor enough in the first ten minutes. He lacked physical strength and his footwork was also seen through by Maggio.
Trapani didn't have many offensive opportunities either, as the game was messed up by Trabzon. However, they got two goals, one was Kaka's header in the penalty area, and the other was Di Maria's pass-like shot, which at least didn't look like a pass.
There was nothing wrong with Trapani's defense, and Hugo was happy, but the mess in the midfield made people feel irritated.
"Today was a good opportunity! Look at the current situation. Trabzon can lead it like this?!" Hugo complained helplessly to Li Tie and Victor who were sitting next to him.
Li Tie and Victor could only be speechless. The team didn't look like the champion of the Champions League last season at all. They obviously had one more player who was good at controlling the ball, but who knew that the control was weaker than last season.
"I think Wenger has some problems with his ability!" Hugo made another assertion beside him, and Li Tie and Victor were shocked.
Brother, you agreed with this person and you chose him. Now that the initial results are not good, do you really want to change the coach? ! Li Tie and Victor were full of questions, and they stared at Hugo with surprised eyes. Others who heard Hugo's words also had the same eyes.
"What are you looking at?! No one is perfect, and no coach is perfect. I am no exception! Mr. Wenger is no exception! I said this does not mean that I say he should be fired. I just point out his problems!" Hugo looked at everyone's eyes and knew that everyone misunderstood.
"I am just discussing it purely now!" Hugo added.
"Then tell me, in which aspects do you think he has problems with his ability?!" Victor asked with a smile.
"There is some hesitation in tactics. Trapani's midfield defense ability is insufficient. This is the fundamental reason why our offense is not good!" Hugo's words made everyone still confused. Hugo instantly felt that these were actually "ball blind"!
The defensive ability is not strong, resulting in the ball often being in the opponent's feet, how can they score? ! The defensive ability is not strong, resulting in a decrease in the number of sharp counterattacks that Trapani used to have. This is the problem.
The data provided by OPTA shows that Trapani's counterattack ability formed in the Bielsa era has not been lost in the Wenger era. This is one of their best scoring methods, but with the weakening of midfield defense, this advantage is inevitably affected.
In order to restore this powerful attack mode, Hugo thinks Wenger should be bolder and let the formation press forward as a whole. When there is a lack of midfield defense, simply use the high-pressure pressing in the past Bielsa era to crush the opponent with pressure.
Wenger really didn't do much, because he has never been an offensive madman like Bielsa.
While Hugo was teaching others, the situation on the field had quietly changed. Wenger kept calling Modric and Cazorla in the midfield today, asking them to stay calm. In the chaotic start, Trapani's midfield was always trying to find the feeling and state, and gradually Modric and others found the feeling.
Trapani's personal ability advantage is gradually emerging. Gunes felt that the general situation was not right, and consciously let his players tighten up and no longer over-attack Trapani's midfield.
Because of tactical adjustments and the deepening of the game, Trapani finally began to control the ball, and Modric seemed to have a more and more comfortable feeling, with a very methodical dispatch, plus his personal ball control ability is very good, Trabzon's two close defenses did not work.
