Chapter 223 The first round of the new season

Hugo jumped to ask for a price increase, and the other small clubs were not fools, so they quickly followed suit and insisted on raising the broadcast fee, otherwise everyone would not sign and refuse to participate in the professional league competition.

With a lot of people and great strength, these clubs are inconspicuous, and many clubs even have close relationships with big clubs, but when it comes to money, whoever knows you, every one of them opposes harming their own interests and feeds the big clubs.

Last year, the national television premium channel gave the Serie B teams a basic uniform price of 200 million euros per team per year. Now Hugo asks them to raise it to 600 million euros. This is a big opening for the Lions, but it can always be negotiated. .

Angrily, Galliani called Hugo and said, "You can join forces with mid-range teams, and I will convince national TV to give Trapani a contract that is higher than other teams!"

Hugo made some calculations and refused. This thing can't be done. It seems to be very beneficial to Trapani, but in fact, this is tantamount to offending a large group of allies, and it will be difficult to get mixed up in the future. , How did Trapani come here for the first time, it is best to stand with the small team!
"Gagong, I'm not doing this for my own benefit! Our Italian football needs to develop, and our professional league needs to develop. How can you play without our small and medium-sized teams?! The professional league must be healthy, and the professional league must also be healthy. We small teams like us can’t develop, it’s not good for everyone! You should find a way to persuade the national TV pay channel to give you a little more money, the prosperity of Italian football is inseparable from us!” Hugo said plausibly, Dayi Ling Of course.

Galliani sneered in his heart, he just wanted to say that this bastard is a little cunning, a little bit of sweetness can't seduce him, he knows the general situation very well.

The long tug-of-war began. Galliani was good at both ends. As the chairman of the professional league, he had to persuade the national TV station to increase the offer, and at the same time, he had to persuade the clubs to negotiate with the national TV station at the negotiating table. Lower your expectations.

In an interview with the new sports website in August, Hugo said, "Italy's current broadcast contract method is backward. We have to learn from the Premier League. Serie A and Serie B should be packaged and sold! Attracting international capital should not be limited to Italy!"

As soon as this idea came out, it caused an uproar, and small and medium teams rejoiced. This is another small and medium club that can obtain great benefits. The distribution of broadcast fees in the Premier League is even, and with ranking rewards, small clubs can get a big one even if they are at the bottom. This income is guaranteed.

Secondly, the broadcast bidding of the Premier League is open to the whole world, which is not possible in Italy. Italy is not a package sale. It needs negotiation between the team and the TV station one by one. No one in the international capital is willing to chat with you one by one. It will take a long time, so Serie A B's broadcasting rights are basically in the hands of domestic TV stations, which gives them the capital to threaten small clubs.

These remarks are just talk, Hugo just wants to stand up and criticize the big bosses of the professional league, so that they have scruples, don't make everyone anxious, the suspension of the league is no big deal.

After these remarks, the three parties who had some scruples quickly accelerated the progress of the negotiation, and finally reached an agreement. Small clubs like Hugo and the others can also get 500 million euros in broadcast fees every year in Serie B.

Therefore, the curtain of the new season can be kicked off on September 9th.

The first opponent is Barry, who was relegated to Serie B last season. This is a southern team located in the Puglia region. Their behind-the-scenes boss is the Matarese family, and the chairman is Antonio Matarese. Recently, he and Hugo have a good relationship.

Hugo was the first to propose a price increase. He was the second. He had some stories with Galliani. In the first half of this year, the election for the chairman of the professional league was held. He and Galliani were competitors, but he failed Well, Galliani has won the chair of the professional league. Tell me, if someone is against the professional league, how can he not stand up and help.

At least now Hugo is with him. Of course, no one knows how long the partnership will last.

When Trapani arrived in Bari, Matarese personally invited Hugo to have dinner with him. Everyone had a good talk, and everyone sat together to watch the game the next day.

The old coach Zeman did his best in the first round.

The goalkeeper position is still Kameni, Kameni is exactly the type of goalkeeper Zeman needs, with a wide range of control, because Trapani's defense is relatively high, mainly to maintain the formation. Compact, a goalkeeper with a wide range of control is in line with Trapani's characteristics. Kameni is really just right under Zeman. He always likes to attack.

The right back on the back line is Bosingwa, and Maggio is a player that Trapani spent a lot of money on, but he still has not been able to compete with Bosingwa in the main position, but Maggio's level has also grown relatively quickly , Bosingwa is also facing a lot of pressure.

On the central defender, Barzagli sprained his ankle during training and is expected to be absent for more than a week. Zeman then used Pepe and Natali as a partner, and there is also Peluso, who can play as a left back and also can play. Play central defender.

The left back is Grosso, Grosso and Evra can't tell who is the main force, Zeman prefers to use Evra, but Evra is a bit far behind Grosso in defense, although both of them are wide Born as an avant-garde, maybe Grosso is more influenced by Italian defensive football culture. He can get started quickly in defense, and he needs to be more mature and reliable. Rosso is better defensively and his passing is more reliable than Evra. Zeman will choose the two according to different opponents.

In the midfield, Zeman gave Micoud a forward, which looks like a midfielder, and behind him are teenager Mascherano and Meirelles. These two are fast, and Mascherano has already shown In addition to his strength, he has a better sense of defensive position and a high steal success rate, while Meireles has balanced characteristics, good passing and interception.

There is another young man in the team, Padoin, who has relatively average qualifications, but the advantage is that he works hard enough and is diligent. Zeman actually likes to use Padoin, but this season he plans to give Mascherano more opportunities , His potential in Zeman's view is higher than that of Paduin.

There are also Stefano Mauri and Berluski in the midfield. They can only be used as substitutes like Paduin.

The arrow on the front line is of course Tony. He is Trapani's most stable shooter in recent seasons. As a winger, Simeone Pepe occupies the right position, and Cristiano Ronaldo occupies the left position. This season, Trapani's personnel are not sufficient, which is enough, but for the construction of Guingamp, Trapani still rented Ribery out on a friendly basis, so there is less competition for the winger position.

Zeman gradually abandoned Luriga during the summer training period. To be precise, he did not abandon him, but put Ronaldo first. Ronaldo's personal breakthrough ability is more prominent than Luriga. During the youth training camp He also has good scoring efficiency and good shooting ability. Zeman wants to train Ronaldo to become one of the team's scorers this season. Luriga and Pepe's shooting ability is not good!
Barry lost a lot of blood this summer and was relegated. Of course, not everyone can share the suffering with the team, and the income will drop a lot. Matarese has no choice but to let some people go!But even so, the outside world is not optimistic about Trapani's away trip. After all, Bari is a relegated Serie A team. Most of Trapani's players are newcomers to Serie B. Barry's winning odds are very low, only 1.34, which is obviously very unfavorable to Trapani.

But these media obviously forgot that Trapani has an old coach Zeman who has been in Serie A football for many years.

Less than 3 minutes into the game, Trapani, who was a guest, gave Barry a head-on blow. Facing Trapani's opening rush, Barry's players were in a hurry, and a big foot in the backcourt cleared the siege. They were hit by Pepe near the midfield Returning to Barry's half, the opponent's No. 8 ball was not stable yet. Mascherano had quick eyesight and quick feet. He successfully broke the ball under his feet and passed it to Micoud. Slanted to the right, Pepe sprinted and passed the ball in one go. It is not for nothing that Tony, a high center, can score so many goals every season.

He leaned on the opponent's central defender in the middle, stretched his neck and hit it, the ball was not powerful, but the angle was very tricky, and he pushed into the goal of the Barry team.

Trapani made a perfect start. This goal fully reflects Micoud's organizational ability in the frontcourt attack. He can predict the position of his teammates very well, and the passing accuracy and strength are very good. Pei is fully capable of passing a good kick!
After the goal, the Trapani players frantically surrounded Tony. This was the team's first goal of the new season. No one expected the goal to come so quickly!
Tony opened his hands and ran to the visiting stands to pay tribute to the Trapani fans!

The St. Nicholas Stadium is Bari's home stadium. It can accommodate 65000 spectators. It was one of the venues for the World Cup in 90. However, the number of spectators in this game is dismal. There are less than [-] spectators. Barry The bad last season caused many fans to lose their enthusiasm for watching the game, and Trapani is a newly promoted player. Don't look at Micoud, but many in the media are not very optimistic about Trapani's trip to Serie B. Because their net investment in the transfer market is not much at all.

On the contrary, the fans of Trapani were enthusiastic after the team was promoted to Serie B. Today, at least 500 fans of the visiting team arrived at the San Nicola Stadium. Trapani is a small city and a small club. There are already many away fans!
