296 Forcing the Palace
"First of all, congratulations to all of you for a great race! This is one of the greatest victories we've ever had since our inception, and if we didn't have the quality to win the title before, now I can think we're more than capable of winning this event! I am very happy with you guys! So, Giorgio will take out a prize of 2 million euros for this game! Hugo was very satisfied with the commendation.
The players cheered and whistled, 2 million euros, a separate reward, no less.
"Haha, I'm such a characteristic, if I don't agree with each other, I will give a bonus! Don't worry about my money, give me this opportunity! Hugo laughed and joked with everyone.
Hee and laugh with the players, Ranieri came back from a press conference and Hugo was waiting for him.
When the two arrived outside the tunnel, Hugo asked Ranieri, "What do you think of the team's performance today?!" ”
"Excellent! I love these guys! They held on! We got a draw and it's the result of our hard work and winning! What do you think, Mr. Colenny?! Ranieri laughed and said that judging by the atmosphere in the dressing room, Hugo was happy and Ranieri was happy.
"Hah, well behaved! Mr. Ranieri, you are really ashamed! Hugo used a yin and yang tone!
Ranieri immediately realized that the boss was not satisfied, but boss, what the hell are you not satisfied with, now we have a fucking elimination of Barcelona, and now we are one step closer to the championship!
"Mr. Ranieri, I can't deny that you are a good coach, a wonderful coach! But there's one thing you seem to have forgotten, how much money did I spend on this team?! Hugo stared at Ranieri and said dissatisfied.
"Hundreds of millions, the current player value of this team is one of the best in the entire world football, but you see, what kind of data did you give me today, I spent so much money and didn't let you put a bus for me in front of the goal! If you want to put a bus, why don't I buy eleven goalkeepers?! Do you think I'm right?! Hugo asked unhappily.
Yes, in fact, Laporta was successful, he successfully aroused Hugo's unhappiness, especially in front of his hometown fathers, which made Hugo really feel faceless, and after the whole game, Trapani's possession rate was only 26%, while Barcelona got a rare 74% possession.
This comparison of ball possession, where Barcelona is playing a Champions League-level team, this is simply holding down the relegation of the league and the friction of the weak team, Hugo is stimulated by Laporta, can it be cool?! Can't be cool!
"I think our offense can be a little bit pretty!" Hugo threw down the sentence and left, leaving Ranieri alone to reminisce.
Does beautiful football matter?! Important, for the boss Hugo, he wants to stop being ridiculed by people like Laporta, which is very important.
But this is not so important for Ranieri, for him the championship is important, now that he has such a good platform, Ranieri needs the championship, his coaching resume needs the embellishment of the championship, for a coach, there is no championship embellishment, the probability of the giant team throwing an olive branch to him is quite low, which is not clear to the old fritter Ranieri.
Zeman's offense is very beautiful, Trapani was an average team a few years ago, and he didn't let Zeman pinch it out, the offense was very good, but he didn't win the championship, and it wasn't Hugo's appetite.
That Guidolin and Spalletti also attack beautifully, but they don't have a championship, they don't even have a resume of a giant, they don't say it, even Morek and Giorgio won't consider them, this is the reality of the coach.
Ranieri was the last to board the team bus, but he had already figured it out, that is, he didn't need to listen to Hugo's orders, he had to fight for himself, not for Hugo, at this moment he was extremely clear, I have an excellent record now, and I don't have a place to stay here, but if I don't care about my head, my record is rotten, and the matter of reemployment will be troublesome.
If you are fired for good grades, people will criticize Hugo for treating him unfairly, but if you are fired regardless of your bad grades, public opinion will not be favorable to you, and it will be troublesome for you to be reemployed in the future!
The next day, Ranieri called a meeting with the coaching staff, and the guy thought about it for a night and made a decision to tell the coaching staff what Hugo said yesterday.
Coming to Trapani, Ranieri did not find his old acquaintances as helpers due to time constraints, and used Trapani's unique coaching team combination, in Serie A football, and even in Europe, Trapani's coaching team combination is very strange, because this team is signed directly with the club, and Trapani's head coach has always existed regardless of whether he brings his own coaching staff or not.
Fortunately, the reputation of this team is good, and the cooperation with each coach is still relatively tacit, after Ranieri came here, he was originally worried that he was not familiar with it, and it was difficult to form a unity within the coaching staff, but the facts told him that his ideas were superfluous, and the coach of this team was very obedient and obedient to the head coach's arrangement, and there was nothing to do.
So Ranieri cooperated happily with everyone, and gradually there was no interest in inviting his friends out of the mountain, and in general, Ranieri had a good relationship with everyone, and from time to time everyone could do some team building activities together.
Ranieri wanted to give Hugo some ideas through Barrias, influence Hugo's idea of wanting beautiful football, and relieve his pressure.
"That's what he said?!" Barrias asked unhappily after listening to Ranieri's description.
Ranieri didn't know who he was upset about, and said cautiously: "Of course Mr. Colleni said it, you see, I'm not talking to you right now, researching and researching!" Mr. Coleni's advice is important and we should listen to it, and I hope you can give me some ideas for improving the team! ”
"around! Gigi It's! The team's morale is good now, why is he talking about it now?! Now for us, winning the championship is the most important thing! It doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not! "Barrias angrily squirted Hugo.
Well, it's only these old courtiers of the club who dare to spray Hugo like this, Ranieri doesn't dare!
Ranieri secretly rejoiced that his purpose had been achieved.
Lombardi and Giampaolo have all expressed their opinions, and it is clear that they also do not believe that any changes are needed in the team, and they want to maintain Ranieri's tactical authority within the team, rather than Hugo's owner's authority.
Only Nkono didn't say anything, he, the coach, has been doing one thing in the past few years, that is, training Kameni, and he has no intention of interfering in other things, it seems that he knows that Buffon's idol is content to be a goalkeeper coach in this life.
That night, Barrias made an appointment with Hugo to meet at Hugo's house, and Hugo agreed, he really didn't know what these people meant by looking for him!
Barrias didn't speak stiffly, he just told about today's events, Ranieri asked everyone for advice, Hugo felt in a good mood when he listened, this old guy was still obedient, but the more he listened, the more he understood that Barrias wanted to take back his life.
"Michele, Andrea, Massimo, and Mr. Nkono! You know how much we spent on this team, you talk about how bad it was against Barcelona, I never imagined my team being beaten at home! Hugo was also in a calmer mood at first, reasoning with Barrias.
"Yes, it's hanging! Tell me, what is this?! I don't even care about my own business, I come to see the game, just to watch my team being beaten?! The more Hugo talked, the more unhappy he became, and he didn't want to remember the game that day, except for Adriano's earth-shattering world wave, there was nothing worth remembering.
