Chapter 190: Zeman
The high-level conference room is secret, Mazzari doesn't know that he is on the verge of getting out of class, Hugo has already wanted to change the coach, he doesn't know this potential threat, the threat on the surface, he does know, a lot has happened in the last short week.
Not to mention the loss of a game, the team also lost a big player in the game, Lucatoni was injured in the game, and when he fought for the top, he broke his arm when he landed, and he was afraid that he would have to miss for several months.
Woe to the disaster, two players were injured in training, Grosso is expected to be out for half a month with a calf muscle strain, and centre-back Barzagli will also be out for some time after breaking his toe in training.
The crackling team injured three main players at once, and Toni was still Mazzal's most relied on scorer.
It was not only Mazzari who was sad these two days, but also the players, who have not been able to find the feeling they should have in the new season, not even the feeling of last season, and the morale of the team is low.
Hugo went to visit Lucatoni in the Palermo hospital, Tony's hand had been fixed by the doctor, and he was cared for by his girlfriend Marta, who had returned from the United States.
After a few words of greeting with Marta and asking about Tony's injury, Hugo said to Tony bluntly: "I want to replace Mazzal, what do you think?!" β
"Just lost one game!" Tony was surprised and thought about it and said, this means to euphemistically say that you will fire him in just one game, which is too unreasonable!
"I don't like his style at all and I want the team to play a little bit better! Luka, we have a lot of good attackers up front, but you look at what Mr. Mazzalri has done, he hasn't used the resources we have, he should make changes, I've given him enough time, I don't want the team's attack to be so bad all the time! β
Tony was silent, he didn't know what to say, could it be that every season had to start badly?! In both games, the team's attack was too poor, and Toney put most of the blame on the players, who have not been in good form since the start of the new season, and of course the blame also has Mazzal, who can feel that Mazzarri has not found the right way to use Mikoli.
"You know who I want to invite?!" Hugo smiled again, and after catching Tony's eye, Hugo continued: "I'm going to invite Zdenek. Zeman, he's a good coach to coach the attack, and with him here, I think I can see the beautiful football that I'm looking forward to! It's good for you, Luca! β
Zeman?! Tony had heard of him, but he didn't know much about it, so he could only reply: "Gigi, you are the owner of the team, and all the initiative is in your hands!" I just hope you make your choices carefully, and don't forget that you said you want to upgrade! The team has been promoted under Mazzal's leadership, and it's not a good idea for you to sack him soon after the start of the new season! β
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this! Zeman's fame is enough for players to tame! I think he'll be able to adjust the team very quickly, the season is still very long, and the change of manager is now, if it comes to the winter break, then everything will be over?! Hugo said eloquently.
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, in the winter of 1947 in Zdenek. Zeman was born here, but he began wandering with his uncle in 1968, Zeman's career was not successful, Italy is his second home, where he obtained his coaching certificate, got his first coaching opportunity, and started his coaching career.
Italy's defence-first culture has been ingrained in Italian football since the 50s, but Zeman is a staunch opponent, he is a clear stream in Italian football, it is not excluded that he had the idea of becoming famous, after all, there are not many coaches who insisted on their own views and devoted themselves to attacking in those years, Zeman did it, not only holding high the offensive banner but also reaping good results, which from a certain point of view Zeman has a coaching talent.
However, the best times were short-lived, the closest period to the championship was in Lazio and Roma, when Zeman's training both teams were very good in attack, but his lack of attention to the defensive end made it difficult for his team to take the lead in the championship battle, they can not only beat the championship by a large score, but also be forced to draw by the weak team, and it is of course difficult for the team that only knows how to attack to win the championship.
Zeman is such a coach who doesn't know how to play offense and defense.
Zeman offended Juventus during his time in Rome, so his prospects began to be not good, of course, Roma fired him not because of Juventus, but because of himself, the Sensi family has realized that relying on Zeman is to win the championship, and began to contact Capello in the middle of the season.
Zeman returned to Prague after a depressing year in Fenerbahce, and his adopted home football circle was not to see him because he poked a basket!
He poked out Juventus, but in fact, many professional teams throughout Italy are using illegal drugs, Italian football is definitely not strong enough in anti-doping, which makes the whole Italian football ugly, Zeman is like a child in the emperor's new clothes, a person who says the facts that everyone knows, it is strange for the Italian football circle to treat him.
So Hugo and Selly began to think that it would be okay to make sense of Moggie, which was obviously a bit naΓ―ve.
Back in Prague, Zeman misses Italy, where he has been for more than 30 years, and he is only in his 50s now, and the best part of his life has been left in Italy, and can he miss it?!
However, he also knew that he was unlikely to return there unless the environment of Italian football changed.
Sitting on the sofa, Zeman's TV in front of him was playing Serie A, a recorded broadcast, last year's Milan derby, Milan swept Inter Milan 6:0.
Zeman was attracted by the game, the phone next to him rang, and Zeman picked up the phone while watching the game: "Hey, I'm Zdenek. Zeman! May I ask who you are?! β
"Hello, Mr. Zeman! My name is Leonardo. Sailly, director of Trapani FC! The voice on the other end of the line was Sailly, who had found Zeman ahead of Hugo's instructions.
"Trapani?! It's that Trapani on the side of Palermo?! It's that Trapani who has been promoted two levels in a row?! Zeman sat up straight, his first coaching career started in Sicily, and his first club was Palermo FC, so he is no stranger to Sicily, and he has always followed Italian football, and he knows very well about Trapani, because they have been very famous in Italian football in the past two years.
"Yes, but it's us!" Sailly smiled and agreed.
"Hehe, you want me to be the head coach?!" Zeman is completely single-handed.
"To be exact, but we just shortlisted you! Our boss appreciates the style of football you lead, so he's interested in you! "Sailly didn't say Zeman was the only target.
"You are a team in League C1, what qualifications do you have to invite me?!" Zeman asked coldly.
"What qualifications and disqualifications?! Mr. Zeman, do you want to return to Italy?! Do you want to re-prove your football philosophy?! I guess I must think about it?! So I feel like we're qualified and we can give you that opportunity! Sailly laughed.
"Haha, that's interesting! So you dare to invite me back to Italy?! Do you know who I offended?! Zeman laughed.
"Offend whom?! Isn't it Juventus?! Our boss is more than capable of protecting you! Sailly said.
"Alas, what a stupid fellow!" Zeman scolded inexplicably, Sailly didn't understand what he meant, it sounded like he was stupid, damn old fellow, Sailly looked quite angry.
"You think I'm offending Juventus?! Wrong! I'm offended by Italian football circles! Tell me, does your boss still have the ability to protect me?! I'm going to be your head coach, maybe it's causing you trouble! Zeman said honestly.
"Offending the Italian football community?!" Sailly is at a loss, everyone knows about the problem of banned drugs, and that is also to divide the crowd, Selly used to be just a scout, where did he know too much about those dirty things?! So he had no idea how Zeman had offended the Italian football community.
What a fool to dare to invite me without knowing anything?! Zeman shook his head and smiled bitterly, and told Sailly what happened, and after hearing it, Sailly felt that this Zeman was a big fool, who do you think you are?! Is it really a saint?! In the football circle, there are few saints at all?! Sailly felt that it was more likely that Zeman was depressed, and he poked out this basket in a straightforward manner!
According to Zeman's description, the problem of banned drugs is not a problem of the Juventus family, and it is not a problem that only exists now, but it existed many years ago.
Regardless of who he is, Sailly did not delve into this topic, and after Zeman finished describing it, Sailly laughed, "Mr. Zeman, since we dare to invite you, we naturally don't have to worry about the consequences!" So you don't need to worry about getting us in trouble! β
Sailly's laughter is forced to be calm, offending the entire football circle is not a joke, Zeman didn't say anything wrong, he could have brought Trapani trouble, but when it comes to the end, can Sailly still back down in front of Zeman?! Isn't this a living loss of Hugo's face?!
And it's really nothing to put a hard word, Zeman has to meet two conditions to take up the post of Trapani.
