56. Finale 2

Perugia's poor results this season have a lot to do with the departure of one person, that is, Trapani's veteran Micoli, Mikoli was loaned to Perugia after switching from Trapani to Juventus, he is very capable and has helped Perugia a lot, and this season was recovered by Juventus.

Perugia's forward quality began to decline badly, and because of injuries, Kosmi had to deploy the duo of Hubnel and Salayeta, which is an interesting pairing.

Hubnell once won the Serie A Golden Boot, won the league Golden Boot at the age of 35 in the 01-02 season, and now Hubnell is 37 years old, and his strength is no longer good, and he only went to Perugia this season, and he is not the main player who made 12 appearances and scored 3 goals.

And Salayeta only came to Perugia in this winter transfer window, Kosmi didn't give him many opportunities, and he has only played 4 times so far, without a single goal, Salayeta is very famous, but this fame is because he broke out with Juventus, last season he kicked Barcelona out of the Champions League, in fact, this guy has always been very inefficient, Trapani has inspected Salayeta in the summer, Juventus's asking price is not low, and his efficiency is too bad, It didn't meet Hugo's requirements, and it was passed directly.

Salayeta also has a famous nickname, "The Big Slow Monkey", tall but not strong, slow and inflexible, if you just look at last season, Juventus's deal is really not a loss, anyway, it didn't cost much.

He could only be a substitute at Juventus, and this season Mikoli returned and Di Vaio joined, and Salayeta became a complete substitute among the substitutes.

With an aging Hubnell paired with the big slow monkey Salayeta, Perugia's attacking combination is full of doubt, so it's no wonder that no media favoured them to beat in-form Trapani at home before the game.

Tony is also slow on his feet and not very agile in turning, but he has something that Salayeta can't match, that is, a strong body and increasingly sophisticated marksmanship, Tony can now be said to be a power shooter.

Klose is a striker with a keen sense of smell, excellent bounce, and strong ability to grasp opportunities in front of the goal, he and Toney's partner complement each other, Tony and Klose have called quickly this season, the most important thing is that Tony is more selfless, as the captain, he has a strong sense of initiative in the front court.

In comparison, Trapani's center forward is better than Perugia's, both on paper and this season's stats.

On Trapani's side, in addition to the fixed combination of Toni and Klose on the front line, Hugo made some minor adjustments in the midfield, including on the left side, Hugo replaced Evra with Grosso, which has a lot to do with Hugo's tactics in this game.

According to Hugo's conjecture or assertion, Perugia's game is called a trapped beast, vowing to win, attack will become their main tone, Hugo also wants a victory, but wants to stabilize from the defensive line, Grosso has to be more experienced in defense, his disadvantage is that the speed of advancement is slow, but if Trapani's midfielder can have the ability to fully control the situation, this shortcoming will not be affected too much.

With a whistle from Rodmoti, in the noise of the fans, the game between the two sides began, it can be seen that Cosme, like Hugo, obviously needs this victory, but they are very cautious in the style of play, and they have deployed heavy troops in the central midfield Perugia, they did not think about fighting with Trapani after the opening, but arranged heavy defense in the midfield, as for when Cosmi will finally ask his team to go crazy, Hugo does not know.

Although the morale of Perugia's players is not very high, in the first ten minutes or so, the defensive formation and density are quite good, and Trapani rarely chooses to attack from the middle out of caution.

In terms of the total goal conceded, it can cause extremely serious consequences if the ball is lost on the side and the ball is conceded in the middle, but if you know football, you will know that the threat of losing the ball in the middle is greater, which is also Hugo's willingness to let the team go too far in the middle.

Another reason is that Perugia have a terrible defence, having conceded almost 60 goals this season, and Trapani happens to have a strong impact of Toney and Klose, so why not try to try to cross from the wing.

The pace of the attack was slow, and Trapani did not get many chances in the first ten minutes, only two shots on goal, one was Toney's header in the middle, which was interfered with by Perugia central defender Di Loreto, and the ball went over the crossbar, and the other was Miku's long-range shot from the perimeter, which was not of good quality, and it was also an anti-aircraft gun.

As for Salayeta and Hubnel, they didn't even have a few chances to get the ball, let alone a chance to shoot, the most interesting thing is that in the eighth minute, Salayeta tried to break through with the ball, but was actually squeezed away by Victor and lost possession, which is a reasonable collision in the real sense, it can be seen that Salayeta is indeed not particularly strong in terms of physical fitness in addition to height, of course, this is relative, if it is Hugo, he may not be able to carry Salayeta.

Looking at Salayeta, Kosmi shook his head on the sidelines, he didn't think he would find a suitable striker in the winter, Salayeta's type is not a strong center, he has to be tired, Kosmi is even willing to attribute him to an opportunist, the running position is okay, but the shooting skills are a little unrefined, Salayeta If he didn't enter the giants early, maybe he would have practiced a few more years in the low-level team, maybe he could really practice his marksmanship, after all, practicing archery on the training ground is not too much the same as practicing on the field, What Salayeta lacks is experience, and even with his glory at Juventus last season, Kosmi still doesn't think he is the centre-forward that Perugia is ideal.

More than ten minutes later, after finding out Perugia's level of form on the court, Hugo waved his hand and began to ask his players to be positive, especially on the side, to be positive, and the main direction of attack today is the wing.

Trapani's threatening attack also began to gradually increase, in the 21st minute, Trapani got a great opportunity, Trapani passed the ball continuously, and gradually advanced to Perugia's front, Perugia has hoarded heavy troops in the penalty area, 352 formation to ensure their defensive width, speaking of which their defense was relatively successful before, Trapani's crosses on the side were not so many times, but this time they were a little careless, Maggio's rapid forward insertion, attracting the attention of Perugia's full-backs, Miku, who was originally trying to cooperate with Maggio on the wing, suddenly took advantage of the opponent's stunned position on the spot, and immediately chose a cross with a diagonal 45 degrees, and the ball passed very suddenly.

I saw Toni run two steps from the crowd, jumped, and directly ran over Di Loretto, the ball flew to the gate of Perugia, Brazzi could only watch the ball go to the empty goal on the right, but unfortunately Toni was unlucky, and the ball hit the crossbar hard.

The ball hit the crossbar and bounced back into the pitch, where Klose was lucky to stand but was too fast for him to get the scale out of the way, and his follow-up shot from the spot missed the back of the net and went wide of the near side of the net.

"Whew!" Renato. Curry's court immediately burst into a muffled sound, an exclamation from the fans after the catastrophe.

"Ahh it! At this moment, Hugo was already kneeling on the side of the pitch like Klose, and the goal didn't score! Hugo holds his head in his head! No wonder he's so upset, this game is so fucking important, how nice it would be to score first!

The Trapani players on the bench all stood up and just wanted to rush out, but they had no choice but to return to their seats.

"God! Milek didn't even score such a goal?! In Ciglino's bar, Costa couldn't help but complain, and there are not a few people like him, even though many people understand that it is difficult for players on the pitch to react decently right away.

"Humph! It doesn't hurt to stand and talk! If you go up, you can't either! The bar was already immersed in the game, and Siglino was also idle, watching the game on the TV on the wall with everyone, and hearing Costa's complaints, Siglino defended Klose with disdain.
