Chapter 224: New Season First Round 2
Matarese was also angry, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "What's your big man's name?!" Tony, he won't suffer in Serie A with a body like him! ”
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Matarese, his name is Luca. Tony, I spent a lot of money to get him a few years ago, and my efforts paid off, he grew up fast, scored goals efficiently, and was very good at making the ball, but it was a little slower! Hugo laughed.
"I really hope that my team can dig out such young people!" Matarese sighed.
"Hahaha!" Hugo laughed, "Mr. Matarese, are there still few talented people in your team?!" Isn't that Cassano made here by you?! He's made you a lot of money! ”
Hugo's words are not a compliment, Barry has produced a lot of talents in recent years, but they have all been sold by Matarese.
"Thanks to Rome!" Matarese triumphantly said that the sale of Cassano for nearly $30 million is definitely a high price, ridiculously high, and of course thanks to the deformed football market in Italy.
"He's really not worth that much! Born at a good time, it also helped you! Hugo joked that the level of sarcasno was not that high.
"Uh, that kid is a bad boy, it's right to send him away, and lo and behold, there's a Roman headache!" Matarese commented on Cassano, this is private, Cassano is very dishonest in Bari, which makes Matarese dissatisfied, but so far in the media Matarese has also blown Cassano to the sky.
Hugo smiled and didn't say anything!
The game on the pitch continued, the impact was for a while, Trapani obviously slowed down the tempo, the reason why Zeman wanted Miku is here, Miku actually likes the position of the left side of the midfield, and the typical attack is strong and the defense is weak, you can't let him participate in the defense, but in Trapani, Zeman is very demanding of him, Zeman wants them to control the rhythm, which means that he is in the midfield position in some periods, to be close to the midfield, not to go too far forward, of course, the choice of timing is up to him.
Barry's pressing was not very intense, and he was frightened by Trapani's strong impact in the first fifteen minutes, especially in the winger position and the full-back position, Trapani's two wingers were fast, the defender Grosso was a little slower, but Bosingwa was also very fast, and there have been many times on the pitch where Trapani players forced overtaking at speed, and Barry was tired of coping.
Now Trapani is slowing down the tempo, Barry is still afraid of Trapani's side impact, the formation has not dared to press too much, Miku's organization and coordination are good, and Mascherano and Mereles behind him form a triangle with him, which is convenient for triangle pass control.
Barry hasn't launched any decent attack for a long time, Matarese watched the team gradually only make long passes, his face is not good-looking, this aspect is not Barry's strength, not to mention, Trapani's central defender is not covered, Hugo was pleasantly surprised to find that Pepe played very well in the first half, and finally nothing happened to the top, several top battles were all successful, Barry set up a double striker, but in terms of physical confrontation, it is not the opponent of Natalie and Pepe at all.
It is a pity that Trapani's score in the first half is still 1:0, creating a lot of chances, but they are a little short of goals, and Bari's defenders are very timely in front of the goal several times, and the arrival rate is relatively high.
Matarese didn't know where to go at halftime, and Giorgio teased him in a low voice: "It must be going to the locker room!" If they can't even take it today, they'll be too embarrassed! ”
"This is their home turf!" Hugo smiled and nodded.
Trapani is afraid of what Hugo knows very well, Trapani is most afraid of the kind of team that has control, they can slow down the tempo, patiently look for results, if Bari relies on himself to be a Serie A relegation team, Trapani is a Serie B promotion horse in the second half of the forced attack, then Trapani is not afraid, everyone let go of the play to see whose luck is good.
After waiting for a while when Matarese came back, Hugo hurriedly teased him: "It seems that Mr. Matarese is going to cheer up the team!" ”
"No, I'm going to the bathroom!" Matarese flatly denied it.
However, in the second half, the Bari team also followed Trapani's learning, and Lao Tzu also attacked, to see who could consume whom.
Hugo also thought too optimistically, Miku has not been in the team for long, and the run-in with the team is not proficient, teammates also need time to adapt to his style, he is also changing his style to adapt to the team, in the first half it looks like a good control of the midfield, in the second half Barry strengthened the pressing, Miku had a passing error in the 56th minute, and Mascherano failed to form a tacit understanding, and sent the ball directly to the feet of the opponent's striker, the opponent was not ambiguous, a beautiful two-by-one cooperation, into the penalty area, Kameni had already abandoned the goal, and was shot by No. 9 with a light shot, piercing the door of Trapani!
"This is the general you bought for 6 million! I don't think he's much! 'Matarese was full of energy at this time.
"The flaws are not hidden, the game is not over yet, it is too early to draw such a conclusion! Mr. Matarese! Hugo snorted twice, the problem exposed by this ball is that the players are not tacit enough, and the turn on the back line is too slow, Natali can't keep up with the pace of the opponent at all, and this guy actually didn't take a foul! I'd rather give Barry a free-kick from the edge of the box!
Miku was annoyed, but he didn't blame Mascherano for the situation.
Zeman deliberately called Miku aside, telling him to stick to the style of the team and stick to his own way of playing, and then called Mascherano to the side and told him not to blame himself, to have self-confidence!
When it comes to young players, Zeman is always unsparing in his words of encouragement.
The two sides began to fight against each other on the pitch, and the scene was really thrilling and exciting, with the likes of Hugo and Matarese paying full attention to the game.
"it!" Hugo screamed and slapped his thigh, "You won't shoot like this!" Stop! ”
Hugo is talking about Pepe, Pepe wasted a great opportunity, Miku, who was not worth 6 million in Matarese's mouth, another overhead pass, Pepe slapped the horse, volleyed, sorry, flew, hit the plane!
"There was no one to defend him at all, and Simeone actually hit a shot of this quality?!" Hugo spread his hands and complained to Lu Fan.
This kind of volley is not so simple, Pepe's mentality is not quite correct, it is estimated that he wants to exert his strength too much, too much!
However, Hugo's regret did not last long, and soon, 3 minutes later, in the 71st minute, Barry relaxed, Miku swam to the left side of the pass, Toni headed the ball, and the second point of the youngster Ronaldo shot hard, close to the ground and drilled into the bottom left corner of Barry's door.
Allowing Trapani to overtake the score once, this goal boosted the morale of Trapani, who was still a slight disadvantage in the early stages.
"Good boy, I knew he could do it!" Hugo looked at Matarese and applauded vigorously, Matarese was still a little atmospheric when Trapani scored the first goal, and he was not very optimistic about Trapani's strength, he didn't believe that his team couldn't win Trapani, but now it gave him a profound lesson, this team is not as weak as he imagined!
Matarese had a dark face and was very unhappy, and Hugo was still applauding as if he hadn't seen it!
It was a very meaningful goal for Cristiano Ronaldo, it was his first goal in a professional game and the first goal for Trapani, and he didn't expect him to go so well.
Today on the pitch he is more happy, the degree of freedom is what Zeman has always been more generous, of course, the whole tone of the team is still Miku as the center, but the wingers on both wings also have a considerable degree of freedom, Ronaldo likes to play tricks, and was trained by Zeman in training, asking him to play more concisely, he does not allow Ronaldo to have a good time, but does not want Ronaldo to be too showy! Today, on the whole, Ronaldo is still obedient, and he is not too disrespectful of his own tricks, you must know that excessive exertion is not only dissatisfied with his teammates, but also dissatisfied with the opponent's defenders, and it is easy to attract the opponent's intentional injury.
After scoring the goal, Ronaldo's self-confidence improved a lot, and he began to show off his knowledge on the field, only a few times, people couldn't keep up with him, which really made him show his face, and then people couldn't keep up and began to be rough with him, whether it was with or without the ball, it was very rough.
The young Ronaldo estimates that his legs will be blue and purple after getting off the field!
Of course, his playfulness also led to a decrease in Trapani's attacking efficiency, and he always wanted to pass others, which led to Barry's higher return to the defense, and the disgruntled Zeman replaced him in the 80th minute and brought on Luriga.
On the edge of the pitch, Zeman also exchanged a few words with Ronaldo, to the effect that I give you freedom not to let you play casually, but to know how to form a linkage with your teammates, you can't look like this!
Zeman's lecture, Ronaldo can only listen honestly, Hugo saw this scene in the stands, and smiled knowingly, young people are like this, easy to get carried away!
Neither side could score, and at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 2:1, and the away team Trapani won to get the new season off to a good start.
Trapani had a total of 24 shots on goal in the game, but only 7 in the middle of the goal, which was a bit of a poor shot on target, but fortunately there were two goals! Barry didn't have many chances in the first half, but after adjusting their tactics in the second half, they also shot 16 shots in the whole game, and the number of shots on goal in the second half was not as many as Trapani's, but they had a higher shot on target, 10 times in the woodwork, thanks to Trapani's good goalkeeper!
