Chapter 226: The Palermo Derby

Zeman was in trouble in this game, Sampdoria was very pragmatic, people were not in a hurry to attack, so they lowered the pace of attack, so that Trapani couldn't get up if he wanted to, Trapani dominated the ball throughout the game, but there was little threat to the opponent's door.

The juggernaut Toney was caught between his old team-mate Stendaldo and another player in this game, and even if Trapani had a cross, Toni had few chances to find a direct shot on goal.

On the other hand, perhaps at home, Trapani's players were a little impatient after conceding the goal, and the pressure was even more powerful, only to be found by the opponent instead.

Trapani had just 11 shots on goal and only four on target.

What is the problem with this?! It is still tacit understanding, when really facing this kind of bus, Trapani's attack is obviously not as smooth as the last game against Bari, if the tacit understanding has improved, Trapani's players should have the ability to make exquisite cooperation at the front of the Sampdoria penalty area, not to mention others, Ronaldo is capable of opening a bloody road, but he lacks the flexible running position of his teammates on the side, so that the opponent has the ability to put energy on him, causing him to be very hindered in the attack.

On the other side, Pepe played poorly in this game, was in poor form, had a high rate of passing errors, and was replaced by Maori in the second half, but the situation did not change.

The third round was a derby away against Palermo, hehe, of course, at the Barbera Stadium.

Hugo paid special attention to this game, he just wanted to give Zamparini a good look, let him know who was the boss in Palermo, and the disgusting Zamparini made a small move, and he allocated only 500 tickets to Trapani's side.

You must know that Barbera is a stadium with a capacity of 37,000 spectators, and 500 away seats is clearly a restriction on the admission of Trapani fans, and generally speaking, the two teams are so close that they should allocate more tickets to Trapani.

Before the game, Hugo invited the whole team to dinner to cheer everyone up, the purpose was to win the game.

During the dinner, Hugo privately found Zeman and told Zeman that he must win the game at all costs.

"Who wouldn't want to win a game?! Everybody wants to win! But whether to win or not to win is not my next guarantee! Zeman said unceremoniously.

Anger Hugo half to death, can't you just obey me and say something that makes me happy?!

In such a derby, given the bad relationship between Hugo and Zamparini, it is natural that there will be no pre-match party, and the two club owners have a good chat plan, even if everyone has business dealings, but business is business, and it will be paid off.

Palermo's current manager is Greallien, who stayed on last season, and Palermo has undergone a major change in the new season, and his results are very unsatisfactory, with one draw and one defeat in the first two games, and only one point.

Zamparini's way of cheering up the team was special, and he said in an interview with New Sports: "If you can't take Trapani, then Grealion should be out!" I spent a lot of money in the summer and was not looking forward to a start! ”

Before the game was played, a sharp sword was already hanging over Grealion's head, Hugo couldn't help but snicker, and cursed Zeman in his heart, "You dead old man, take a good look!" You should be glad you met me than Zamparini! ”

Thinking of this, Hugo was thinking in his heart, should Zeman lose this derby or not?!

He should be out of class! He disgraced me! He shouldn't be allowed to stay here any longer, that's Hugo's conclusion, and Zeman certainly didn't expect Hugo to get inspiration from Zamparini.

"It's a pleasure to see you all again on this weekend afternoon! Today is a big day! Agostino was commenting live in his live broadcast room, "The days of the Palermo derby! ”

"Listeners on the radio, you are listening to one of the highlights of the 2002-2003 Italian Serie B season, Palermo hosting Trapani! Given that so many of us are fans of Trapani, I guess I don't need to say how close we are?! Agostino joked.

But it's also true, this is a radio station in the province of Trapani, and the audience for it is also the listeners of the province of Trapani, and the audience is overwhelmingly Trapani fans.

"Before the game, the chairman of Palermo Zamparini said that if Gremlian can't win this game, he will be sacked, here let's applaud Mr. Greallion for a minute in advance, with such a chairman, it must be painful to be a manager under him, and being fired is actually a thing to be happy about!" Agostino joked that as Trapani's exclusive live broadcast of the game, it was necessary to have a clear bias in the commentary.

"Alright, let's get down to business, the players from both sides are in the stadium and I'm going to bring you a live broadcast at Barbera Stadium now! Oh, Hugo! Hugo! I didn't expect him to come to the scene to watch the game today! Agostino exclaimed in surprise.

According to the grapevine he heard before the game, Hugo would not have watched the match live because he hated to see Zamparini's dead old man, but today he showed up.

Barbera also does not have any boxes, only VIP stands, located in the middle of the main stand, with a good view, Trapani used when Trapani was at home, Palermo when Palermo was at home, and now the derby, the two clubs occupy one side.

Zamparini and Hugo are looking down and not looking up, they are going to meet after all, they are fighting, basic politeness is still necessary, Zamparini is nearly 60 years old, and he sat in his place early.

Hugo was a little younger, and of course he had to take the initiative to greet Zamparini.

"Hello, Mr. Zamparini! It's better to be famous than to meet! I didn't expect you to be so handsome and martial! Hugo Peel stretched out his hand with a smile, hadn't he seen Zamparini?! Seen, on TV.

"Haha, it turned out to be you! What should I call you, Mr. Colani, Gigi or Hugo?! Zamparini laughed.

"Whatever you want!"

"Then call you Gigi! I thought you wouldn't come, after all, your team is a promoted horse, and the situation is not very good now, I am afraid that you are afraid of being embarrassed in front of me! I didn't expect you to come anyway! Zamparini smiled.

"Why don't I come?! I'm here to slap you in the face! Well, this game ...... Trapani! Win! Hugo paused at the end, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Victory!" Zamparini was taken aback.

"Victory?! Then let's see who laughs at the end! Zamparini sneered.

Hugo said goodbye, "Hehe, I'll see you later, I'll treat you to a drink at halftime!" ”

"No, I'll ask you!" Zamparini said.

"Okay, let's talk!" Hugo took his leave.

Let's talk?! Zamparini didn't understand what he meant, but one thing was for sure, there was something to discuss.

"After the start of the season, Palermo has achieved a record of one loss and one draw in the first two rounds, only one point, and Trapani has a record of one win and one loss in the first two rounds of this season, accumulating three points. But this game is Palermo's home stadium and we have to keep our spirits up! Now let's take a look at Trapani's starting line-up and see what kind of attitude Mr. Zeman will face in this game! ”

"Goalkeeper: Kameni, Defender: Bosingwana, Atali, Barzagli, Evra, Midfielder: Padoin, Meireles, Miku, Forward: Pepetoni and Ronaldo!"

"Compared to the previous game, Mr. Zeman made a slight adjustment in the starting lineup, the teenager Mascherano was replaced by Padoin, and Grosso's position was replaced by Patri, I don't know if this adjustment will allow Trapani to take the initiative in the game!"

Palermo's Grealion uses a 442 formation, playing with two strikers, two strikers one high and one fast, European football is very popular such a 442 formation, the two forwards can be organized in tandem, or they can enter the penalty area to shoot and score, the position is very flexible, and the formation is relatively balanced.

Of course, the formation is dead, the tactics are alive, the key is what the coach thinks, and the coach can also play the offensive type if he wants 541.

Sitting firmly in the stands, Hugo sat and waited for the game to start.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began, Trapani took the lead, as soon as the kick-off, Trapani's players rushed to Palermo's half, Zeman's tactics are still the same, regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, hit Palermo first.

This is the real meaning of the same city derby just released in Sicily, when it comes to the derby, you don't want to work hard, Grealion also requires his players to actively press in the front court, interrupting Trapani's control rhythm, which is a reference to the last Sampdoria vs. Trapani game, Sampdoria is not the beginning of the bus, but strategically carry out the front court pressing, to create problems for Trapani's ground ball, let them change the high ball.

Perhaps aware that such a situation could be present, Trapani's opening of the game was much more concise.

Barzagli received Padoin's return pass and sent it forward with a big foot to avoid the opponent's high pressure!

Toney ran for the top, under the interference of the opponent, the ball could not be controlled, the second point was preempted by the Palermo player, and the opponent also kicked a big foot to the left side of Trapani, this side Evra pressed higher, and there was a gap behind him!

But Barzagli was a fast runner, rushing to get the ball before the opposing striker got the ball, and released the sideline with the ball!
