31. Ribery

Three goals were conceded against Siena, but two of them were at least completely avoidable, and the people directly responsible were Barzagli and Peruso, Barzagli has been the absolute main force of the team in recent seasons, and such a mistake should not have happened at all, while Peruso only got the opportunity to play this season because of the change of formation.

Hugo took a completely different approach to them, and severely criticized Barzagli Hugo.

"Andrea, you've been in the main position in the team for a long time, right?! Do you feel like you don't have any competition here?! Old players still have such mistakes?! ”

Barzagli bowed his head in shame in Hugo's office, the situation at that time was Trapani's 3:1 lead, Barzagli played with fire a little, the clearance was not decisive enough, and was directly cut off by the opponent's striker, causing Trapani to lose the goal, and the media also criticized him very badly after the game.

The most intolerable thing for him is that the media actually said that a young player like him behaved too frivolously on the field.

Frivolous he can accept such criticism, but he can't accept this sentence together, he doesn't like the media to say that he is a young player, Barzagli is the same age as Hugo, now 23 years old, he has been in Trapani for three years, and he has been a regular player for a long time, he thinks he is already an experienced player.

"Boss, I assure you, I will never make such a mistake in the future, if I still have such a mistake, you will directly take my position, I have nothing to say!" Barzagli gritted his teeth in promise.

"If you continue to be reckless like this, your wish will come true, the team is in a difficult period right now, we haven't won five games, don't you want to think that it was your mistake that caused us to miss out on three points! We are a team, mistakes should be borne together, but the most reflective thing is yourself! I hope you remember what you said in front of me today, and if you play with fire like that next time, don't blame me for being unkind! Hugo said with a cold face.

For Peruso Hugo, it was a relieved attitude, and it was also a relief, Peruso was not playing with fire, but was too nervous.

At that time, Siena had chased the score to 2:3, and saw the hope of equalizing Trapani away, Hugo was also careless at the time, and completed the personnel adjustment early, because the 9th round was against Inter Milan, Hugo hoped that the main players could get more rest, and as a result, Siena suppressed Trapani, Trapani's situation was critical, Peruso was in that situation, he made a mistake in the clearance, the ball was kicked, and a god assisted, but the opponent's striker easily broke the goal.

Peruso is young, and has always been a substitute role, he can't get many appearances a year, in the past he was mainly a substitute for fullbacks, after Hugo changed formations, two full-backs need to have a certain speed, Peruso is such a candidate, Riñaudo and Natali are tall, with poor speed and inflexible turns.

Peruso and Barzagli are both about 1.86 meters, with a certain size and a certain speed, and the speed of the supplementary movement can be guaranteed.

This was an important reason why Hugo abandoned Natalie and Riñaudo, and he did not want the young Peruso to be upset by this mistake.

Hugo sat down the nervous Peruso and said to her: "Are you afraid?!" Federico?! ”

Of course Peruso was afraid, he wouldn't understand why the coach chose him, he nodded, "Boss, I'm sorry for the last game!" ”

Hugo smiled and waved his hand, "Federico, if you want to apologize, you don't need to apologize to me!" You need to apologize to your teammates and the Trapani fans! In fact, I, the boss, can tolerate such a mistake of yours! ”

"You're not even 20 years old now, and you're being promoted to a main player this season, do you feel a lot of pressure?!" Hugo asked kindly.

Peruso quickly shook his head, he didn't expect Hugo to think like this, he was afraid of losing impression points, in the selection of central defenders, Trapani still has Natali and Rinaurdo, Natali is still the main player even before Victor, even if it is three central defenders, the competition is extremely fierce.

Hugo certainly knows that Peruso will definitely have a lot of pressure, in fact, after arriving in Serie A, these players are more and more eager to seek a main position, who doesn't want to show themselves in the best league in the world?! Trapani's squad is much the same as last season, but it's also true that the internal competition is getting fiercer.

Natali and Rinawudo also performed well in the Coppa Italia, so it can be seen that they are holding their breath.

"It's normal to be stressed, it's up to you to deal with it! You have to use pressure as motivation, you made a mistake in the last game, I can forgive you, after all, you are still young, you can't be beaten into the cold because of one of your mistakes, it's not fair! But if you want to be a good player, being young can't be your excuse! ”

"I mean, I can see your mistakes as the price of your youth, but you can't think of it yourself! When you get on the pitch, you have to pay attention, forget everything, there is no need to panic too much, our team may face adversity or good times! ”

"In times of adversity, there is a lot of pressure at the back, and in good times your defensive tasks will be easier, and my requirement is that you should stay focused at all times! Can you tell me you can do it?! ”

"I can! Trust me, boss, I can do it! Peruso stood up and assured.

"I'd love to hear your answers! I hope you do the same in training and in competitions! Now all you have to do is forget about the last game and put your energy into training! Go ahead, train well, I'm looking forward to you! Hugo encouraged.

Talking to them alone is one thing, during the team's training, Hugo also deliberately criticized their performance in front of everyone, punishment is necessary, Hugo announced in public that against Inter Milan Barzagli and Peruso will not appear in the starting lineup, and they will naturally be replaced by Natali and Rinaurdo.

Because he had a separate conversation with them beforehand, Hugo had such a move, and he hoped that the two people, well, not only these two guys, but the whole team guys, would take this as a warning, and no one's position was consolidated, which was a trick to make an example of the monkey.

The most depressed person in recent times is Ribery, he has never played as a second striker, nor has he mentioned a striker, only a winger and a full-back, but where does the 352 formation need a full-back like him, the defensive awareness is so poor, and the confrontation ability is also poor, how can there be his position.

Hugo seemed to have forgotten him in a corner and didn't explain anything to him, Ribery didn't get any chance at all after the change, he started in the Coppa Italia game, Hugo put him in the second striker position, but Ribery got caught in the sea of opponents and did nothing.

Ribery was naturally depressed, and he was also depressed during this time, and his fellow countryman Miku couldn't see him like this.

After the training on the day Hugo announced the punishment of Barzagli and Peruso, Miku found his fellow countryman and invited him to dinner, he actually wanted to order a little Ribery, Ribery had to change!

"What Mascala can do, why can't you?! You look at Muscala, he's worked hard in training, he's taken the opportunity when it came and he's doing really well in the second striker position now! You can do it too! Can't you see that Mr. Collaney originally wanted to use a two-center tactic, but now it has become a high-speed combination! ”

"If he can change for Mascala, he can change for you!" Miku persuaded.

"He promised at the beginning of the season that I would be the main player and develop me, and the result?! His words don't count, he doesn't keep his promises! Ribery's words were filled with resentment.

Miku smiled wryly and shook his head, he could understand Ribery's resentment, but Miku saw it very clearly, he had a lot of experience, after the absence of Pep Guardiola and Klose, Trapani had to change, this is the general trend of the team, no one can change it, and it is taken for granted in Miku's eyes.

Change means that some players get positions and some people get them wrong, and this is inevitable, and from the perspective of the overall interests of the team, this is understandable.

"I can understand your grudge! But this kind of thing doesn't just happen in Trapani! Now the situation of the team has to change, and continuing the old routine will only lead the team to slide into the abyss! Miku explained.

"I don't think it's getting any better!" Ribery said angrily.

"Frank, I don't think you're right! In the end, has the team improved, don't you count it yourself?! Say something that goes against your will?! Miku's face sank, in fact, he couldn't win, but the team improved, Miku still agreed.

"Okay, I admit that the team has improved, but what does it have to do with me, no matter how hard I work in training, I can't get the trust of the boss!" Ribery complained.

"That's because you're still the same routine, you're always moving on the side, you don't want to play as a full-back, right?! If you don't want to play as a wing-back, why not think about playing as a second striker, it doesn't hurt you to play in another position, you can learn a lot in the process! We are fellow countrymen, and I will never hurt you! It's good for you, you can only grow up quickly at this age if you get more opportunities to play, how can the opportunity come?! Go for it yourself! ”

"You're still stuck in your old way of thinking and playing, and you're not going to get a chance here!"
