10. Low points in transfers
It is impossible to invite so many strong teams to this year's friendly match in Trapani, which is now called careful selection, which used to be purely to invite strong teams to attract spectators, and now it is more practical significance.
Friendly Trapani only invited a strong team to Sicily, Liverpool in the Premier League, but Trapani only lost the game 2:3, the attacking end still looks good, very brilliant, Klose scored a goal, Toney completed a goal!
Although Ribery has not achieved an inch, Hugo's tactical intentions are relatively low for him at this stage, he is not the role of a fatal passer, but a breakthrough king spoiler on the side, and Miku does everything to pass the ball, which covers up Ribery's weak passing ability and poor scoring ability to the greatest extent.
The rest of the friendly opponents, divided equally in Trapani's training time, are basically some weak teams, went to Messina and Messina to play a friendly match, 4:0 neatly, Hugo's tactical intentions are more obvious in this game, and the speed of the team's run-in to his tactics is also quite fast.
The main reason for this is that Hugo's tactics themselves inherit Zeman's ideas, and the main lineup has not changed much, and the newly introduced Klose has a high ball quotient and strong comprehension ability, and quickly adapts to the changes in the new role.
Ribery is a little slower to integrate, but as mentioned earlier, his tactical role determines that he actually has a lot of freedom, and it doesn't matter too much if he is a little out of the system, and over time, his own ability has strengthened, and once he dissolves into the team, he knows when to pass and when to shoot, and the team's offensive quality has also improved to a big level.
This is the reason why many coaches don't like Ribery, it looks like he's out of tactics, I don't know what he's doing, I think he's passing people, passing people, and then passing on the waves.
But Hugo feels that he has great potential to tap, Ribery has not been professionally trained, how can the training of the amateur team be so professional, Trapani is developed from the amateur team, Hugo naturally knows the level of training of the amateur team.
Ribery has developed a super breakthrough ability in the amateur league on the street, with a variety of tricks and invincibility, but the grasp of passing, shooting, and timing is relatively poor, Hugo believes that Ribery can practice, the key is that people must be diligent enough, there are big brothers like Miku and Guardiola in the team, and they are quite good at controlling the timing of passing, and Ribery can learn a lot of experience from them.
The remaining friendly opponents are all low-level league teams in the Palermo region and the Trapani region, to put it bluntly, such opponents are to let the players of Trapani find their feelings and confidence, you say that you get a bunch of strong teams to come over, lose cleanly, clean and slippery, how can it be possible to increase everyone's confidence in the manager's tactics?!
After playing a friendly match, with more than a week to go before the league on September 1, Trapani did not book a friendly opponent again, but began closed training, Li Tie's personal problems were resolved, and finally Hugo made up his mind to use the non-EU quota on him.
And Trapani, who originally planned to close the transfer window, sold another player, Meireles!
La Liga's Valencia took a fancy to him and wanted to introduce him, Hugo has the heart to let Mascherano get more opportunities to play in the new season, he has stronger defensive ability, and Meireles' position belongs to the less stable one, but he is reluctant to Meireles, Meireles' ability is really very good among young people of this age, and he is a veteran, and he has played in Trapani for many seasons.
But Meireles wants to go, Valencia has qualified for the Champions League next season, in the end, Meireles can't squat here, he has higher pursuits.
Meireles also told Hugo that he wanted to leave, not Mendes, Hugo's memory of his previous life did not have Meireles as a person at all, naturally it was impossible to be as sad as Ronaldo's departure, and after a long time of hard work, he finally agreed to Meireles' request, and finally Meireles switched to Valencia at a price of 6.5 million euros.
After Mereles left, the first team promoted Zabaleta from the youth team to the first team, which was originally planned, Zabaleta is only 18 years old now, but Allegri said that he is very good, both offensive and defensive, since Hugo wants to focus on promoting young people, of course he will listen to the advice to let Zabaleta feel the atmosphere of the first team as soon as possible, and if conditions allow, he will also give Zabaleta the opportunity to make his Serie A debut.
In addition to Zabaleta, Trapani's youth team also has a number of good players. Shafair streamlined the youth squad in the summer, knocking out the unsightly ones and leaving some potential talents, some of the talents in the youth league last season, and after discussing with Seley, Shafair began to carry out planned loan actions.
Part of it was on loan in Serie B and Part of it was in Guingamp, Viviano went to Marsala, where he could be the main goalkeeper, Sailly originally wanted to loan Diamanti to Guingamp, but Diamanti did not want to leave the team.
In the new season, Trapani is also missing a backup goalkeeper, and Sailly brought in Paolo from Piacenza. Orlandoni, who was a player from Inter Milan's academy, but spent most of his career in small teams, is now 31 years old, and was only a substitute goalkeeper in Piacenza last season, Piacenza was relegated in the new season, and Trapani spent 400,000 euros to get him.
Approaching the end of the transfer window, the media are curious, Trapani, who has a huge amount of money, has quietly not moved after operating Klose, do they really think that their thin squad can gallop in Serie A?!
Before the arrival of the new season, the major media are indispensable to score the transfer of various teams in Serie A, Trapani as a promoted horse, as a team under the famous rich Mr. Colani, should have been big, but I didn't expect people to make money in the transfer market, "Turin Sport", "Roma Sport", "Milan Sport" all gave Trapani a failing grade.
"It's not enough to get a foothold in Serie A with just one Klose!" This is how Sport commented on Trapani's transfer operation.
"Mr. Colani sold the golden boy Cristiano. Ronaldo, sold the midfield potential rookie Mereles, plus Pepe, he sold a central axis! Can anyone tell me Frank. Who is Ribery?! Li Tie?! It's nothing but Jian Luigi. Colleni picks up people's teeth and imitates Gauci! The Torino Sport newspaper was even harsher.
"It is said that Ji'an Luigi. Colini is very picky, now such rumors should be true, it is hard to imagine that a promoted horse is still making a lot of money in the summer transfer market! Trapani fans should be worried about whether their team will be able to successfully complete the task of relegation, knowing that this is not easy in Serie A, where the strong are so strong! "Roma Sport" mocked Hugo's slamming of the door.
In the face of public opinion from the outside world, what did Hugo say?!
On August 25th, Trapani held a fan meeting for the new season, the meeting place was at the Pacheco training base, the purpose of such an event is to attract fan support, last season's Serie B game touched Hugo a lot, first of all, in terms of income, Trapani does not have much commercial sponsorship income, ticket money, fan consumption is one of the important sources of income, last season fans contributed a lot of money to the club, which is an indisputable fact, and secondly, it is a good boost to the team's morale, Hugo doesn't care about the support of the fans at all, but he has to take into account that the players need the support of the fans, he still remembers that in Rome, in the cheers of the fans, they drew against the mighty Roma, and he also remembers the home stadium of Barbera, the popularity of the fans, which made it the devil's home stadium of Trapani, no worse than Palermo, which is rooted in the local area.
As the only representative of Sicily in Serie A in the new season, Hugo believes that the team can bring greater benefits to the club by attracting more fans to watch the game live, so why not take care of the fans' feelings.
Hundreds of fans attended the event, and in the press hall of the Pacheco training base, Hugo led the members of the first team of Trapani to a collective appearance, and held the so-called Serie A pledge meeting for the new season.
In the face of the concerns of many fans about hearsay, Hugo smiled very kindly, pointed into the microphone and said: "The fan representatives who can come here today are all die-hard supporters of Trapani, and I would like to thank you as the president and head coach of the team!" I can understand your concerns, but I can say clearly that our team is absolutely capable of establishing itself in Serie A! ”
"They say I'm slamming the door, it's a fart! Fans who have followed Trapani all the way should know me Gian Luigi. How much money Colini has paid for this hometown team! To be honest, I have the money, but why don't we have any extra moves, because we have a great team. We have Kameni, we have Miku, Guardiola, we have Klose, the great captain Tony! We have a lot of players like them and we are more than capable of playing in Serie A! ”
'Now all you have to do is believe in our players, we can definitely get a foothold in Serie A and it's even possible to get a good result instead of relegation!'
"Come on, all the players of Trapani, stand up and tell loudly if you are interested in giving good results to the fans in the new season?!" Hugo beckoned his players to stand up.
