Juventus are arguably the most formidable opponent Trapani have ever faced, they have won Serie A for the second year in a row, and they reached the Champions League final last season, but were eventually lifted by Milan.

They are unbeaten in seven Champions League and Serie A games since the start of the season, winning six of those games, with only a draw against Fabio Capello's Roma.

"Mr. Colani, do you think Juventus are by far the biggest enemy?! They've won two in a row before, do you think your team is capable of causing problems for the defending champions?! New sports beauty reporter Domenico asked.

"Undeniable! Juventus are certainly favourites for the new season! They are strong and Mr. Lippi's coaching ability is evident! We're relegation teams, we're weak, that's recognizable, but we're going to do everything we can to make things for them! I think on the pitch, everybody has the same chance of winning! Hugo said.

"Will Pep Guardiola play in this game?! His absence seems to have affected Trapani's overall performance, what is the status of his injury?! Another reporter asked.

'He's not going to play and I don't know when he'll be back! He's a very important part of us without a doubt, but now is not the time to miss him, injuries are always going to plague every team and we'll fix the problems caused by his absence! ”

"Where's Klose?!"

'Milek, Milek will take some time to get out of the injury, I can't give an answer for the exact time, maybe two weeks, maybe more, we hope he and Pep can get back to the team as soon as possible, we need them!'

"Would you consider changing your formation against Juventus?! The previous two games already seem to have shown that the 433 does not fit into the personnel structure of Trapani! ”

"Maybe I'll think about it! Probably not! Hugo, of course, was sloppy.

"Mikoli will face his old boss in this game, what do you think of this former player of Trapani?!"

'Cesc Fabrizio is a good player and we were reluctant to let him go, he has contributed a lot in the promotion process and I will hug him when I see him again, but if he gets a chance to start, I hope he doesn't threaten us!' Hugo laughed.

……

After the whole press conference, many reporters found that Hugo is now back to normal, and it seems that he is full of the game against Juventus!

In fact, this game is not completely out of chance for Trapani, there are many national players in the Juventus team, most of the players have played as the main players of the national team during the national team break, and Juventus have a more crucial European Champions League group stage to play in the middle of next week, their opponents are Real Sociedad in La Liga.

Considering fitness issues and injuries in the squad, Lippi is likely to play as a substitute in this game and return to Juventus, who are very eager to help Juventus win another Champions League trophy again.

Hugo and the coaching staff also guessed Juventus' starting lineup based on Juventus's situation, and they could guess about eight or nine, but it was difficult for Lippi to guess Trapani's formation, and there were always various rumors in the media that Trapani was very likely to change the formation, and Trapani's closed training during this time was a hidden mystery.

October 18 was a good day, Palermo had a sunny day during the day and a good temperature at night, perfect for the game, Trapani has not been in good form lately, but the fans were still enthusiastic, and the Barbera Stadium was flooded with tens of thousands of fans early.

Trapani's home attendance has been relatively good this season, playing three home games so far, with attendance remaining around 90%, and the game against Milan was full.

One of the advantages of playing with these strong teams is that the attendance problem will definitely be well solved, and it is not surprising to come to Juventus Barbera Stadium, many of whom even regard Juventus as the second home team.

But now that Trapani is in a bad situation, fans naturally support Trapani more, anyway, Juventus always has to lose so many games all season, why don't they lose to our Trapani?!

Hugo could see in the locker room that the players were very nervous, really nervous, not only because of the opponent's prestige, but also because the players had no idea whether this tactical system could succeed, unlike the previous set of 433, which defeated the strong rival Milan at the beginning, which was enough to convince everyone.

For this kind of doubt, Hugo can't let everyone go, a team coach is like a general, you have to convince everyone, but Hugo has no dazzling achievements worth bragging about, everyone is the head, but because Hugo is the boss, he is the only master of Trapani, no one will underestimate Hugo's punishment.

"Are you worried?!" Allegri asked with a smile as he accompanied Hugo out of the dressing room.

"I'm worried, I'm worried that this set won't work, what should I do?! My authority comes from the fact that I'm the boss and not the manager! Hugo understood very well.

"Don't worry, the boss's authority can still be overdrawn!" Allegri smirked.

"Are you sure?!" Allegri's ridicule made Hugo's mood inexplicably better, and he laughed and asked rhetorically.

"Sure, surely, surely!" Allegri laughed.

At this time, the Juventus players came out, their starting Hugo already knew, and Mikoli was among them.

Mikoli saw Hugo and Allegri, walked quickly to Hugo, and hugged Hugo and Allegri.

"Hello! Boss! It's great to see you all again, I miss you all! "It's true that Mikoli said that he missed everyone, he was actually only one season in Trapani, but when he was really at his most comfortable in Trapani, Zeman gave him a lot of freedom to play in attack, and he became the team's top scorer, which was obviously impossible at Juventus.

What's more, he is just a substitute at Juventus, and sometimes he knows that he can't compete with Piero and Trezeguet, but Mikoli still took this step, and Hugo had to admire his courage.

"Hello, Fabrizio!"

"Hello, Fabrizio!"

Hugo and Allegri greeted Mikoli with a smile.

"How are you doing at Juventus?!" Hugo whispered in Mikoli's ear.

"It's okay!" Mikoli laughed.

"If you're not happy, you're welcome back!" Hugo said with a smile, not to mention seeing Mikoli, Hugo really has that thought, this little player is an upgraded version of Ribery, it's just amazing, if he can really come back, it will definitely be good for Trapani.

However, Hugo also knows that he has just returned to Juventus from his loan career, and Mikoli will never admit defeat easily, and he will definitely not want to leave now.

Next year, next year will be Messi's birth, Mikoli is a superfluous person, and it is not good for anyone!

After greeting Mikoli, Lippi also came out, Hugo and Allegri just politely shook hands with Lippi and said hello, and did not say too much to greet, Lippi also knew about Trapani's change of formation, Trapani changed the formation of 352, and the two wings of the midfield were two fullbacks, and he knew that Trapani's formation was nine times out of ten to stop Juventus' attack.

He still doesn't believe it, according to the previous games, Hugo is more inclined to attack, and he dares to show his sword with Milan, let alone against Udinese and Lecce.

Trapani's change of formation 352.

Goalkeeper: Kameni

Defenders: Barzagli at right centre-back, Victor in the centre, Peruso at centre-back

Midfielders: Patrice Evra, Li Tie, Mascherano, Miku, Maggio

Forwards: Lucarelli, Toney

In the original plan, Hugo's position in the midfield was Mauri, but this game was against Juventus, Mauri was born in the front midfield, and his defensive ability was weak.

Li Tie and Mascherano stand behind Miku, Miku looks like a forward midfielder, in fact, he has the heaviest task, mainly to organize rather than insert assists, of course, this is not absolute, Hugo gives Miku quite a good degree of freedom.

On both wings, Maggio and Evra are very fast, have a certain defensive awareness and ability, and may be a lot worse than the top, but now, Trapani's conditions are like this, it would be good to have these two, and Hugo himself is also interested in training them in the new season.

Juventus' side is in a 442 parallel position, and with injuries and preparations for the Champions League, Lippi really sent a substitute lineup for this game.

Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon

Defenders: Billindeli, Ferrara, Montero, Zambrotta

Midfielders: Appia, Tachinadi, Davies, Maresca

Forwards: Micoli, Di Vaio

At the end of the pre-match ceremony, with the whistle of referee Pellegrino, the battle between the two teams officially began, and Hugo did not appear impatient, but sat in his coach's seat and watched the situation on the field.
