163 Messi dependence
The situation of the top three and Trapani is probably like this, the investment of other teams in the Italian Super League is not bad for Rome, they have carried out a large recruitment this summer, and have eaten a lot of potential stocks, Palotta at the high-level meeting in Rome is the most admired Trapani's business model, because Trapani has always been willing to spend money on young people, in fact, more money is good, Trapani's young people are not cheap, Shaarawy, Verratti, Witsel and other youngsters are now on the market for 30 million euros, Shaarawy and Verratti did not spend much, but Witsel spent a lot of money on Trapani's introduction.
In addition, Pjanic was on loan in Rome last season and performed very well, no matter what Trapani thinks, anyway, the top management of Rome believes that you get what you pay for, Pjanic is good, so their strategy has changed significantly in the new season, focusing on young players, and it is also equivalent to giving new coach Luiz. Enrique has a blank sheet of paper that allows him to plan.
In general, the protagonist of the Italian transfer market this summer is not Trapani, and the whole market is also unremarkable, and the Premier League in the European transfer market has begun to spend a lot of money, especially Manchester City, with the support of Middle Eastern consortiums, Manchester City has tasted the Premier League title, so the investment in the past two years has been further increased, and the last carnival before the implementation of the financial fair play policy has been carried out.
Barcelona and Bayern Munich have both made strong additions, and they are both eager to challenge Trapani's phenomenal dominance in the Champions League, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the only team to have successfully defended their title after the Champions League restructuring.
……
Now there is a sudden controversy in the public opinion circles about the discussion between Real Madrid and the successful defense of the title, the focus of the controversy is who is more difficult, some people say that it is more difficult for Trapani to defend the title, because the period of Real Madrid's five consecutive championships is the initial stage of the European Champions Cup, there are not many teams participating in the event, the competitiveness is insufficient, the good and the bad are uneven, and the competition system is also accidental. Competitive.
Some people also said that in the 50s, the degree of openness of football at that time was not as good as it is now, which caused Real Madrid to be dominant, so Real Madrid was able to easily win five consecutive championships, and Trapani's is obviously not the case, no matter how rich Hugo is, even if the team has more stars, but now there are not only Trapani good players, but other teams also have.
If in terms of five consecutive championships, the glory of the five consecutive championships in the initial stage of the Champions League is naturally not comparable to the five consecutive championships of the current Champions League.
But public opinion is just trying to be lively, Hugo still has some face, he personally admitted: "If we can continue to defend the Champions League this season, then I think from the perspective of the historical status of the Champions League, we can be compared with Real Madrid, just a two-in-a-row, I don't think we are qualified to compare with them!" ”
The international break was not good news for Trapani, as several of Trapani's big players were injured during the international break after the transfer window closed.
Captain Toney did not participate in the national team break, he was injured in the team training, and then Modric suffered a thigh muscle strain during the national team break, and did not participate in the second match during the national team break, and returned directly to Trapani, the most painful injury was Messi, Messi was injured and will be out for more than a month.
Trapani's team is developing in a not very good direction, Hugo said at the end of last season that the current situation is that the team on the pitch is dependent on Messi, Hugo likes Messi very much, but it does not mean that he wants such a scene to appear, he still thinks that football is a team sport, and the team should not completely revolve around Messi alone.
Wenger doesn't have such thoughts, but why is it shown on the pitch that it is like this, because of subtle and inertial thinking, as the head coach Wenger, he can't clearly tell everyone that you don't have to rely too much on Messi on the pitch, this statement is definitely going to be a big problem, people's minds are delicate, a team has more than 20 people, and Messi's status is also very high.
Messi kicked and kicked became a habit, teammates have also become a habit, there are already experts who say that Trapani others are seriously dependent on Messi, no one in this team can compete with Messi in status and ability, played three games in the new season, it happened that Messi's excellent Trapani won Porto, and he was not in good shape in two games Trapani failed to win the game, the responsibility is the whole team, but it cannot be said that there is an impact in this regard.
For Arsene Wenger, the season has just started and it will be another test, and dealing with those days when Messi is not there is something he will have to face on international breaks.
Trapani's second round will go away to challenge the opponent Catania on the same island, Wenger talked about Messi's absence in the pre-match communication with Hugo, Wenger finally expressed some real thoughts, he feels that his biggest challenge in the new season is to remove the dependence of the team's players, and Messi cannot be left alone at the critical moment.
"Don't worry about it! The responsibility of this team is not Messi alone, it is everyone's, you have to tell everyone to have their own sense of responsibility, the first few games of the new season, not only the run-in is poor, but there are also problems in thinking," Hugo encouraged Wenger.
"Arsène, tell me, Kaka, Fontano, Aguero, Cavani, don't they have the heart to forge ahead?! Don't you want to score! Players who don't want to be the protagonist are not good players, especially on the offensive end! Hugo said again.
If Wenger hadn't known that Yuda would not let Messi go, he would have thought that Hugo was encouraging others to rebel.
"It's a good opportunity, I definitely don't want to see Messi dependence, now he's out for a month, it's just the right time to test the results!" Hugo gives Wenger advice.
……
The boss is still the boss, but the manager is no longer the boss. Now in charge of Catania is Montella, Roma's interim caretaker coach last season.
Catania were ambitious before the start of last season, but the departure of Martinez has affected the strength of the team, and manager Giamboro has not been able to pinch the team together. As a result, they can only be in the relegation group after the halfway point. Next, Argentine coach Simeone replaced Giampaolo. Under his leadership, Catania walked on thin ice and eventually succeeded in relegation. Catania still played some good games last season, such as the fact that they denied AC Milan three points at home and Roma on the road.
Their summer transfer market is the real writing of the Italian transfer market this summer, and it is not shocking. In terms of departures, with Shelotto going to Atalanta, Takayuki Morimoto to Novara and Silvestre to Palermo, Catania quickly filled the void with reinforcements. In midfield, the return of Barientos and the arrival of Pagliarenga, together with the late introduction of Almiron, reduced the loss of Shelotto to zero, and to some extent, these two have made Catania's midfield a little stronger. On the forward line, the arrival of Lanzafam and Inter Milan striker Suazzo made Takayuki Morimoto miss very little. As for Silvestre's departure, Catania also dug into the interior to solve his stand-in problem.
