98. Extinguish your own prestige
Although this goal came relatively early, it has basically pronounced Reggina's death sentence, they sent Borriello on offense, but they still haven't been able to get any improvement, Borriello's state is still very average, and his role is richer than Bonazzoli, but what's the use?! Reggina still struggles on offense.
The rest of the game was a little tepid, Trapani's form has not fully adjusted, it is not relying on Hugo to do ideological education, self-confidence needs to be re-established.
When DeSantis blew the whistle and Trapani finally ushered in the long-awaited victory, Hugo texted Messi to congratulate him and hope that he could continue to work hard.
After the game, Hugo also received congratulations from Mushasha, a victory that deserves to make all the Trapani fans happy, but what worries everyone is the Champions League next at home to Valencia, if this game is not won again, Trapani's Champions League exit is almost a foregone conclusion.
Hugo can no longer pay attention to his team, he still has to do his work in business, watched Trapani play against Reggina, and the next day Hugo went to Rome to attend a rally of the Italian Youth Forum, where he gave a keynote speech and was interviewed by numerous media outlets.
Of course, the subject of the interview is the Internet industry, but given Hugo's influence and status in Italian football, football is also an essential topic, and people are more concerned about Trapani's performance in the Champions League.
In the league, Trapani's situation is far from dangerous, even if they don't start well, but they are still in the upper echelons of the table with wins and losses, and relegation is not a concern.
However, in the Champions League, the situation is very different, they have only picked up one point after three group games, they are bottom of the table, they have not won a single game, they have conceded a lot of goals, an average of two per game, and there are three games left, if they can't win against Valencia on November 2, well, the team will definitely be out.
According to the rules, the third place in the group can also get the knockout stage of the Europa League, but it is estimated that it is enough.
'I can't deny that there's a good chance we won't be in the knockout stages of the Champions League, I'm just as disappointed as the fans! But we have to admit that this could become a reality and I hope everyone can see the positives, we can learn from this year's event and I'm sure we can do better next year! "Hugo doesn't really have much hope for the Champions League, the Champions League is not the same as in the league, the start of the three group games in Trapani is so bad, Hugo doesn't like uncertain speculation, he takes it for granted that the team is out of the question.
Hugo's statement is important because he is the boss.
Zeman was very dissatisfied with this, and in his opinion, Hugo was cowardice and ruined the team's morale.
At the pre-match press conference against Valencia, Zeman was asked by reporters what Hugo thought about Trapani's Champions League prospects being slim in a certain forum.
Zeman couldn't suppress his anger, "I think he's crazy!" What he said was out of place! What he says is bullshit! I don't think he's got a good idea, we think we still have a chance and if we win the remaining three games, we'll qualify! ”
The reporters were refreshed, this is not the first time Hugo and Zeman have sung in public, and the fuse for Zeman's dismissal last time was that the two of them scolded each other in public.
"Mr. Zeman, aren't you worried about being fired?!" Journalists asked.
"I'm not worried, I'm telling the truth!" Zeman has a hard mouth.
Who made him such a person?!
"I've had enough of him, he's such a disgusting old man! Look at him, he's always going against other people! "Hugo is angry in the office, he is also very fickle and straight, I say what's wrong with hopeless, because I'm the chairman I can't say, fucking Trapani is no fun!
"He's always going to target Juventus?! Isn't it fucking enough to hate me?! Hugo squirted Zeman at Giorgio and Cellly.
Giorgio and Sailly were speechless for a while, what Hugo said was something that Zeman did after he returned to work, and now Trapani is also in the First Division, Zeman is a well-known anti-Juventus fighter, and it used to be good to say in Serie B, but now reporters often ask Zeman about the topic of Juventus, Zeman always says that Juventus is rubbish, that the Juventus Big Three is rubbish, and never cares about his mouth.
Hugo was quite happy when he first saw the news, but now it has become his reason to scold Zeman, and what can Giorgio and Selly say except speechless.
"He doesn't know how to be grateful!" Hugo concluded, "He doesn't want to know who gave him a chance?!" It's me! He doesn't appreciate me! I hate people like him who don't know gratitude! Hugo slammed the desk hard, and before he said anything, Zeman him off again, thinking that there was nothing wrong with what he said, but Zeman was not happy.
Oh, no, Trapani's higher-ups are not happy, Hugo really shouldn't have said that, but now that Hugo is on fire, he definitely can't listen to the advice, Giorgio and the others wisely chose to keep their mouths shut.
After venting, Hugo let Giorgio and Cele leave without any arrangement.
"He wants to drive Zeman away!" Sailly walked out of the office door and asked to himself.
Giorgio shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands in confusion, he didn't understand, the last time he said to dismiss Zeman, Hugo's decision was very fast and undoubted, and today he had a nerve and let the two people who didn't say a word leave like this!
Hugo did suddenly have the idea of letting Zeman get out again, but he paused when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't tell why, he decided to wait and see, if Zeman could really let Trapani win and qualify, Hugo did not rule out putting up with this breath and letting him continue to stay.
For such an important game, it stands to reason that Hugo should be in the stands, but Hugo did not, and the fans also discovered that Trapani's biggest fan did not appear on the pitch.
Trapani is already in a situation of fighting against the water, on the other hand, Valencia is eager to completely lay their own qualification situation through this situation, Trapani is completely out of the game, the two teams are very open on the pitch, Trapani's players on the pitch are not affected by Hugo's relatively sluggish speech before the game, maybe they also want to prove themselves, on the pitch they performed very well.
Trapani scored three goals with all his might, but unfortunately Valencia was below and had fewer chances, but he also scored three goals, and Trapani was unable to maintain the victory until the end of the game.
"We're sorry for the fans! It's a disappointing score! 'Toney was in a very low mood after the game and started again today, but his form was still sluggish, with Trapani scoring goals for Klose, Miku and McConn.
Toney was annoyed and kept saying sorry to the fans, which revealed that he blamed himself, and he had a chance to score a fourth goal before the end of the game to beat Valencia, but he didn't take it.
In the same game, Werder Bremen won Anderlecht, so that Trapani and Anderlecht both went out of the Champions League, and they only had a place in the Europa League.
"Mr. Zeman, the team is out of the Champions League now completely, how long do you think you can stay in the team?! Will you be fired?! Reporters asked Zeman after the game.
"I don't know, I can't guess what Monsieur Collaney is thinking! You should ask him instead of me! Zeman replied with a blank face.
'As far as this game goes, I think we played well and I deserved a win, but luck wasn't on our side and I'm proud of our lads! It's not a sad time, we still have a reason to keep going, we still have a chance to qualify for the Europa League, so it's important now to play the remaining two league games! Zeman is quick to pick up his mood and is already thinking about the next two rounds, one against Anderlecht and one against Werder Bremen.
