My name is Colani

The brains of the senior management of Werder Bremen are indeed a bit weird in this matter. They are crazy about money and have also thought about Trapani. As Gilsa said to them, you are too self-righteous. Mertesacker is not the only one. Gilsa poured cold water on them and woke them up. In the end, they still had to sell players, but they were still unwilling to accept 3 million. Their minimum requirement was 5 million.

Gilsa was forced to give up part of his own income.

It sounds very tortuous, but in fact, it took everyone a few days to complete the deal.

On January 1, 2012, Trapani and Werder Bremen issued official announcements on the same day. German international Mertesacker transferred to Trapani for 5 million euros.

"After Barzagli was injured, Trapani was relatively weak in the central defender position. The winter break just started, and they perfectly completed the task of reinforcement. Mertesacker..." "New Sports" quickly praised Seli. It was not the media's words that made Seli favored, but Hugo's statement on this matter.

Hugo, who took his family to visit his grandfather in the United States, called to praise Seli for his great work.

Of course it was great. Who would have thought that it would only take a week from rumor to fact? ! Mertesacker also expressed his loyalty to his new club at the first time.

"Being able to join a team like Trapani makes me feel like my dream has come true!"

Trapani's fans are still quite optimistic about this deal. Although Mertesacker is not expensive, he has been famous for a long time. A central defender at the national team level is only 5 million euros. The fans also think this is a good deal and welcome Mertesacker's arrival.

At the same time, many players in the team also welcomed Mertesacker's arrival. Now the team has only three authentic central defenders, and the reserves are seriously insufficient. The second half of the season is still very long. Who can guarantee that there will be no three diseases and six pains? Mertesacker's arrival is a deal that truly alleviates the urgent need. Moreover, Mertesacker is nearly two meters tall and is a typical air-dominant central defender who can increase the air defense capability of the back line.

Needless to say, old employees such as Toni and Kameni, as well as David Luiz and Boateng, who are in the central defender position, also expressed their welcome to Mertesacker. Boateng and Mertesacker are teammates of the German national team, and the two have long been familiar with each other.

Schweinsteiger, who transferred to Bayern Munich in the summer, also said through the media in Germany that the signing between Mertesacker and Trapani was a very perfect one.

The winter transfer window has just begun. Mertesacker's deal is not expensive, and he is not a superstar-level central defender, but it has caused a big sensation, because everyone knows that Trapani must buy a central defender, and Mertesacker has become the answer, and the rumor has become a reality.

Of course, the head coach of the German national team, Loew, is happy to see this deal. He believes that "Trapani is one of the top teams in the world. Per's going there is both an opportunity and a challenge. I think the environment there is also a very good opportunity for him to improve personally!"

I'm afraid Loew is silently thinking that the combination of Boateng and Mertesacker can be transplanted into the national team!

Mertesacker's deal was done, so Koscielny's deal was going to fail. Arsenal didn't want to sell him during the winter break, and the asking price was high. Of course, if Mertesacker's deal hadn't gone smoothly, Trapani might have been slaughtered by Arsenal, but now, everything is different.

When the reporter asked about Koscielny again, Seli naturally made a point of telling Arsenal that Arsenal's asking price was too high, and Trapani's offer couldn't match it, so they had to say goodbye to Koscielny.

…

Just after the New Year, on January 2, Trapani's main force began to gather and prepare for the second half of the season. On January 8, Trapani's home game against Lazio was the first game after the winter break. After this game, international football will usher in a grand event, which should also be Trapani's grand event, that is, the FIFA's annual best and most important Golden Ball Awards.

2011 is neither the year of the European Cup nor the World Cup, so the team that can win the Champions League will naturally be favored by more experts. Although Messi was injured and missed a long time in the second half of 2011, he is still the darling of the media and experts.

Judging from the public opinion before the game, Messi has the highest voice among the three finalists. Neither Ronaldo nor Xavi can challenge him. Trapani is naturally happy to see Messi win the Golden Ball Award consecutively. The club's wish is of course that the Golden Ball will be settled in Trapani, which has an immeasurable effect on enhancing the team's influence and commercial value.

On the evening of January 8, Trapani welcomed Lazio at home. Lazio's current head coach is Rea. Rea officially became a coach in 1979 and spent the first 20 years of his coaching career in the lower-level leagues of Italy. In the 1998-1999 season, Rea became the head coach of Vicenza and began his Serie A coaching career. In 2005, Rea officially became the head coach of Napoli in the third-tier Italian league and led the team to two promotions and return to Serie A. After being replaced by Donadoni in the 2008-2009 season, Rea came to Lazio in the second half of the 2009-2010 season and led the team to successfully avoid relegation. Last season, no one was optimistic about Rea's team, but he led the team into the Europa League. Lotito said: "In my eyes, Rea is my Ferguson."

Of course, Italian coaches generally have to have one trait, that is, they can adapt to different situations. This is a very important reason why Italian coaches can get along well in the world football. All this is due to the football environment in Italy, where coaches have little say in transfers.

It is easier for strong teams, but many coaches of weak teams have no say at all. It all depends on the top management of the club. In England, many head coaches are fired because of poor performance, but in Italy, many head coaches are fired because of irreconcilable conflicts with the top management of the club.

Because of this, Italian coaches are indomitable and have good abilities and qualities. Rea's many years of skills have been realized in Lazio, but he inevitably encountered embarrassment in the new season, because Lotito wants to sell people to make money. Lichtsteiner, Flocari, Muslera, most of them have conflicts with Lotito. He is stingy and refuses to raise the salary of employees, so the employees naturally want to run away.

Lazio's strength has also been greatly affected, but they made the right deal this summer. Trapani's meritorious player Klose returned to Serie A, but not to Trapani. Although fans were very interested in Klose's return home in the summer of 2011 and called on the club to take Klose back on the Internet, the club was unable to complete the deal. The club needs to train new players. It is overcrowded. If Klose joins again, where will Fontano find time?

To be honest, Klose himself is not too keen on returning to Trapani. He prefers to go to a team that can give him a starting position. Lazio's olive branch is very appropriate. Rea's team almost qualified for the Europa League last season. Klose thinks that Lazio may also be able to impact the European war zone in terms of strength.

, Klose has a second spring under Rea. He originally has a deep connection with Italian football and has no problem adapting to Lazio. It's just that life in Rome is not as comfortable as Trapani. He prefers the feeling of the small town of Trapani.

Klose frequently helped Lazio score goals in the first half of the season, so now Lazio is only two points behind Trapani. This game can decide who is third and who is fourth.

This is the first time that Klose has returned to the Google Stadium as a visiting player since leaving the team. Although they are enemies at the moment, the fans of the Google Stadium will never forget the days when Klose conquered Trapani. The fans applauded Klose who entered the field, causing the veteran's eyes to moisten.
