Chapter 266: Derby Second Leg 4
"Beautiful!" Toney clapped vigorously, and Lucarelli was perfect in handling the ball.
Hugo was overjoyed, stood up from the stand seat and shook his fist again to celebrate, Giorgio and others also smiled like flowers on their faces, two goals in hand, this game is much more stable, Palermo's biggest problem is that Sonetti does not have the determination to break the boat, if they can dare to fight like Catania, maybe it is not like this at all, but they tried to defend and counterattack, and Trapani was entangled in the midfield, in the second half Trapani paid some attention to this aspect, and Palermo had few chances.
Zamparini's face was covered with a layer of frost, watching Hugo dance in celebration, Zamparini really wanted to beat this grandson, he could foresee that after this game, he and Palermo would be ruthlessly washed by Hugo!
Lucarelli went out of his way to Hugo's main stand and greeted Tony in the stands!
"Is he to me?! What am I doing for him to do?! Hugo was stunned.
"Guess what I told him at halftime?!" Tony smiled mysteriously.
"What did you say?!" Hugo asked with interest.
"I said I made a bet with you that he would score in the second half!" Toni laughed, "I told Cristiano that if he scored, you would invite us to a big meal!" ”
"You're a liar!" Hugo pointed at Tony and laughed, "But this bet is well made!" How about we go for a seafood dinner on the yacht tonight?! ”
"Count me in?!" Marta also accosted.
"That's a must?! We all go in the evening! Hugo laughed.
'Lucarelli came to Trapani and started scoring goals, he has scored four goals since Toney's injury and he scored again today in this very crucial derby! Could it be that his good fortune is starting to come?! Cidrino teased in the live broadcast room.
"In the first half of the season in Turin, his performance was ridiculously bad, it is hard to imagine that he could be worth 4 million euros?! Now it seems that if Lucarelli can take on the responsibility of scoring goals during Toney's injury, then Trapani is not wronged at all by spending 4 million euros on him! "Paul. Rossi analyzed.
"I heard that in the winter window, Trapani had a crush on Del Vecchio of Roma, but Del Vecchio refused to join Trapani, and now it seems that Trapani has found a good replacement!" Cidrino praised Lucarelli's recent performances.
"It's normal for Del Vecchio to reject Trapani, if he goes to Serie B, then he will be further away from the national team, I don't think there is anything wrong with his choice! Trapani is a small team after all, and no matter how rich Colani is, it may be difficult to attract big-name stars, perhaps with the exception of Pep Guardiola! "Paul. Rosie laughed.
"Guardiola is a little older after all!" Cidrino said.
The two chatted a few words, Trapani's celebration was over, the game soon restarted, Palermo is now two goals behind, the morale of the players is slightly low, Trapani actually appeared in the absolute control of the midfield for a period of time, Guardiola and Miku seemed to call suddenly, the two began to have a lot of tacit understanding in the stadium, and controlled the rhythm steadily.
Sonetti's choice is also a bit unbelievable, his change is to let the midfielder strengthen the defense on the wing, because he can see that Trapani is already taking more wings, but it is not a good thing to be led by the nose like this, and now that he is two goals behind, he has never been able to show the courage to break the cauldron and stick to the 541 formation.
Conservative, or conservative!
Hugo shook his head secretly, sympathetic to Zamparini, what kind of coach are you hiring?! It's too conservative, what are you thinking about when you're two goals behind?! We should step up our attack, whatever you do with Trapani, we have to score.
In terms of strength, Trapani's overall strength is higher than that of Palermo, Zeman's foundation is good, the reason why Palermo was not bad in the first half is that their tactics are well targeted, and the players are also very hard, and they are two goals behind in the second half, such a situation is gone, the power of the midfield is dispersed, and the control and pressing strength are declining, which makes Trapani's midfielder raise his head.
Some time passed, Palermo could not even deploy in the midfield anymore, but retreated to their own half of the 40-meter area, of course, this defense ensured that Palermo greatly limited Trapani in attack, but the opportunity they wanted was difficult to wait, Guardiola finally played a role at this time, he commanded the midfield players on the field, he did not want them to be too far ahead, he hoped that Palermo's players could press out and press, giving Trapani side space to pass forward.
Time passed minute by minute, it had come to more than 80 minutes, Trapani did not score, Palermo did not take Trapani, due to the difference in morale, the intensity of this derby has decreased, Palermo's players are not even so strong, which is undoubtedly a bit of a sense of giving up the game.
Lombardo began to make substitutions, with Mascherano, Mascara and Mauri getting the chance to come off the bench.
Zamparini watched Sonetti command on the sidelines as if he kicked the coach to the ground, but is it useful to dismiss the coach, to be honest, he doesn't know, before the game is over, Zamparini left the court angrily, leaving so early, of course, there is a little bit of not wanting to face Hugo, he knows that Hugo must be looking for him with a heart, talking to him about this game, he doesn't want to talk about this game at all.
With the referee's whistle, the derby was over, and Trapani beat Palermo 2:0 at his "home", won another three points, 51 points, and temporarily sat on the top spot, how long he can sit here depends on Sampdoria's face.
Hugo had a happy smile on his face and high-fived everyone, the first half of the game was not easy, but the second half was much easier, although he couldn't score more goals, but the game was enough to make him happy.
At the post-match press conference, Sonetti frowned, "We made some mistakes! Two goals should have been avoided! ”
He didn't admit that Palermo played badly, he just thought Trapani was lucky, "I don't think we fouled, that free kick didn't exist, that goal changed the game!" I think we deserve a point! ”
Lombardo was of course very different from him, "It was a tough win, they caused us some problems, but we controlled the tempo well, we created more chances, we were the best side, we deserved to win the game!" ”
"Cristiano's goal?! We all know he's a genius! He's scored like that on the training pitch, it's the first time on the pitch, but I'm not surprised at all, I'm happy for him! I hope he can continue his good form because we still have a lot of tough fights to play! ”
"Arsenal Cristiano is said to be interested?! Mr. Lombardo, do you think he will leave Trapani?! A reporter asked.
'It's normal to have big teams like Arsenal interested in him, and in fact I've heard a lot of teams interested in him! I'm sure he'll stay, the club values him! Lombardo did not shy away from answering Ronaldo's questions, and he also wanted Ronaldo to stay.
The press conference after the game was quite peaceful, because the managers of both sides did not have a deep hatred and talked about the game for the game, but the boss would not do that.
The next day Hugo went to Rome on a business trip, and in an interview with a television station, he mocked Zamparini.
"We proved with quality that we deserve to win, we are the best team in Sicily! If nothing else, Zamparini will definitely fire Sonetti! Once again, I sympathize with Mr. Sonetti! ”
"I also sympathize with the Palermo fans, they are definitely disappointed! But I would like to say that if there is really hope that Palermo will rise, then they should get rid of Zamparini, he is not willing to spend money, he will not do Palermo well! He has no ambitions, he bought Palermo just for advertising, everyone knows that he needs the Palermo sign to expand his business in Palermo! I have to say it's a smart move, but it's not a good thing for Palermo fans! ”
"Any owner who doesn't want his team to win the championship is not a good boss! Zamparini is certainly not a good owner in this regard, he demands more from the team than he gives! ”
Hugo's rhetoric made Zamparini almost crazy, he felt that Hugo in Italian football was a serious-stirring stick, not only unforgiving, but also changing the current situation in Italian football, although this situation is what he expected.
Hugo didn't come to Rome to say these two words to the media, in fact, he came for a sports communication company, and now Hugo has to worry about this, he has already planned and is sure of it in the past, but this time he is not sure, a new field, he has to bother.
"We can start with small events and slowly gain experience, and we are more than two years away from the next round of bidding for broadcast rights, so we are fully prepared!" At the meeting, Garlando began to describe to Hugo some of the ideas for the new company's policy.
