Coach Live Raiders

Chapter 167 Italian Cup Quarterfinals
Serie A or Coppa Italia?

This problem is now placed in front of Bruno again. As a head coach with difficulty in choosing, he really has no way to make a clean decision.

At the beginning of the season, Bruno's goal is to strive for the Champions League in the league, and then strive for the Coppa Italia championship trophy as much as possible. Before that, Perugia has also been advancing according to this preset track.

However, as Perugia's performance stabilized and reached the top again, Bruno's heart began to grow again.

Because he saw Perugia's hope of winning the championship!

Judging from the current strength of Perugia, they may not lose to any opponent with a more balanced offense and defense. Even Juventus and Inter Milan dare not easily win in front of Perugia.

So, whether to focus on the Serie A or the Coppa Italia, this is a question that needs to be carefully considered.

The first thing to be sure is that the two-line battle distracts energy. With Perugia's current tactical mastery and bench depth, I am afraid that there is no way to stick to the two-line to the end, so this is the first option that must be ruled out.

Concentrate on the Serie A?

No no!

Since nearly half of the schedule can reach the top, it means that there is still a possibility of winning the championship at the end of the season.

But beware, it's only possible!
Don't forget, Perugia's attributes of robbing the rich and helping the poor are being used to the greatest extent all the time, and no one knows which opponent they will stumble. For a league that requires stability, this may be the biggest constraint for Perugia to win the championship. question.

Don't think this is alarmist talk, because there are some things on the football field that you cannot explain with scientific principles.

But on the other hand, Juventus, the big devil of the league, has no way to concentrate all their energy on Serie A, because they still need to fight fiercely in the Champions League. This is Perugia's opportunity.

So Bruno was very tangled and didn't know how to choose.

Of course, if there were more strengthening points, then Bruno would definitely not suffer so much. He would directly strengthen the substitute players. One lineup will play in Serie A and the other in the Coppa Italia. Maybe it is not a dream to win the championship in two lines!

Well, looking at it now, this is indeed a pipe dream.

There are many gifts in the live broadcast room, but the most are free gifts, but there are not many real rich people.

In his previous life, Bruno was very envious of those anchors who earn millions or even tens of millions a month, but now it's his turn, why are everyone's pockets so tight?
Or is it that the live broadcast industry has begun to slump?

In any case, the status quo is that the strengthening of players can only be done step by step, and it takes time to accumulate, and it cannot be done overnight.

The reason why Bruno struggled was precisely because it was the Coppa Italia's turn in the next game.

Fortunately, there is a certain buffer, at least in this round, there is no need to worry too much. The opponent is the Serie B team Spezia, and the strength cannot pose too much threat to Perugia.

The game must be won, but this kind of game can definitely give the substitute players more opportunities, so Bruno simply sent more than half of the bench players, which can also be called rain and dew.

Being able to reach the top 16 of the Coppa Italia is actually a good result for the Serie B team. No matter what kind of opponent they encounter next, it will be very difficult to go down, let alone win the championship in the end.

However, Spezia did not expect that they would draw Perugia in the draw. Perugia was playing soy sauce in Serie B like them last season!
We agreed to make soy sauce together, but you sneaked up!

How could Spezia not be envious and jealous?

They wanted to teach Perugia a lesson, but even they knew that if Perugia didn't teach them a lesson, it would be Perugia's nostalgia!
Well, I can't beat him anyway, so it's better to give him a favor.

Therefore, such a seemingly important game ended in a very friendly atmosphere between the two sides. Perugia defeated its opponents in Serie B and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia.

No matter what others think, this love Bruno is essential.

Bruno is actually not willing to meet non-Serie A opponents. What he fears most is that the opponent will break the pot after seeing no hope of victory, foul like venting, and then injure Perugia, which is really not worth it.

But Spezia was so reasonable that he didn't trouble Perugia, which is something to be happy about.

Let's take a step by step!

Gattuso and Materazzi were released by Bruno. The two little guys are said to be very obedient in the youth training camp. They will also guide the young players while training hard every day. This is what the youth training director said to Bruno.

It's just that Bruno really wanted to complain, what can these two little bastards teach children in the youth training camp?
How to be naughty, how to fight, how to die?

But it is enough to teach them a lesson and let them realize the seriousness of the mistake. In the end, Bruno still has to rely on them, especially Gattuso, who has no substitute in the midfield.

I hope that the two will stop wandering after they return to the first team.

Before facing Roma in the 16th round of Serie A, the Perugia club arranged a community event for Bruno and several players.

In European football, there is definitely community activity promotion in the daily life of professional players. On the one hand, it reflects the public welfare, and on the other hand, it shortens the distance between players and fans. This practice is ancient.

This time, Bruno will take several players to a local elementary school to play football with the children.

This primary school can also be regarded as a cooperative primary school of the Perugia Club. It is an extension of the youth training academy. Every week, the coaches of the youth training camp will go to the school to teach the children to play football, and at the same time select talents for the youth training camp.

There is nothing to shy away from, even though it is a bit cold in Italy in January, Bruno is still happy to go.

Always standing on the sidelines, Bruno feels old, spending more time with children can also let him find his childhood, although he may not have a childhood.
Along the way, Materazzi and Gattuso were chattering, making Bruno upset, thinking that you two are a bit stealing the show, right?
Why are you everywhere?

But who let them stay in the team for the longest time? For such an event, the two of them will definitely come to participate.

"I like playing football with children the most, so that I can feel that I am a superstar, because every time I pass people, I can pass a large area!" Gattuso said to himself with a look of longing.

However, when Bruno heard these words, his face was instantly covered with black lines.

We are here to play ball with children, not to let you abuse elementary school students.
Aren't you afraid that your parents will form a group to beat you up so that you can't take care of yourself?
