Chapter 313 41. Entering the European War

After the start of the second half on January 4, Trapani completed 6 league games during the winter transfer window. After a draw with Parma at home, Trapani found a good form afterwards and won consecutive wins. After defeating Empoli and Perugia, they scored 25 points. However, in the next game against Milan on the 1th, Trapani no longer performed miraculously and lost 2:[-] to Milan in the away game.

By February, Trapani had completed 2 rounds of the league and scored 18 points. It still ranked ninth in the standings, 26 points higher than Empoli, which was 15th in the relegation zone, and had a great score advantage. Well, in private, the coaching staff also concluded that this season, as long as they can score 13 points, they can avoid relegation.

Pizarro should be said to have perfectly understood Hugo's intentions. Pizarro was the absolute core of the brain in Udinese, but after coming to Trapani, Hugo did not let him be the absolute core, but the task But it wasn't necessarily easy. Hugo told him two plans, one was Micoud's plan on the court, and the other was not on the court.

When Micoud is on the court, Pizarro needs to find a tacit understanding with Micoud to jointly control the rhythm of the team. The advantage of Pizarro at this time is that he can go up and switch positions with Micoud.

But Micoud is not on the court, and Pizarro is also playing as a defensive midfielder. The task on him is heavy. The team is based on him. He will frequently touch the ball to guide the ball. The task of going up is not the most important task. , Compared with Udinese, Hugo is more cautious and does not want him to go up too many times.

In addition to the first game in January, Pizarro played all the other games. He adapted very well. The reason why Trapani was able to lose to Milan is because of Trapani's middle The field is very good. They did not lose in the competition with Milan, but the overall level of the team is still behind Milan, and they are not as good as the opponent in some details. This is the difference between a strong team and a weak team.

Hugo is also very satisfied with the recent situation. He changed his tone in the press conference after the game against Milan. He said: "Our goal of relegation this season is not the most important thing. I think our strength should be ranked at the top. In the middle of the league, the next important goal is to see if there is a chance to impact the qualification for the European war!"

Not only did the media dislike her fast-changing style of painting, but even the coaching staff disliked Hugo's speech at the press conference.

"Gigi, the team's situation has improved now, but you can't put too much pressure on everyone. It's hard for everyone to get angry now. If you say that, everyone may be under heavy pressure again!" Barrias Criticize Hugo on the second day.

"Pressure?! What are you afraid of under pressure! You have motivation when you are under pressure! We have already scored 26 points halfway through the schedule, and there are 16 rounds left. If we can play well, we can win the opponents we should win. Such an inexplicable loss of points may not be able to get more than 50 points, and more than 50 points should be able to play in the European arena!" Hugo said.

Judging from the situation of the final standings last season, what Hugo said is true. Last season, 56 points can get a place in the European competition. Although Trapani's current position is in the middle this season, it is far from No.4. In fact, the gap between Inter Milan and Inter Milan is only 6 points, which is not too big. With extraordinary performance in the second half of the season, it may not be impossible to look forward to the European arena.

Refuting Barias, Hugo also said the same to the players in the team's tactical class. If you say that Hugo has taken ideological and moral classes and political classes since he was a child, it must be reasonable. of.

"I'm not saying that we must achieve this goal. I'm just saying that we can't be satisfied with the goal of relegation! Relegation is just a small goal. People's potential is endless, and I believe our potential is also endless!" Hugo said Speaking generously on the podium.

"Satisfied with the idea of ​​relegation is not good. If there is no pressure, there will be no motivation. If you have no motivation to move forward, you will have no room for improvement. If you want to make progress, you must give yourself the greatest pressure!"

……

Not to mention the young players who were bewitched by Hugo, but the older ones, such as Pizarro who just transferred, he was originally in a European team, why didn't he want to lead the team to achieve a zero breakthrough and play in the European war, And Miku also thinks the same way.

I just heard that Hugo once again called out the goal of European competition. Micoud and other veteran players may not be able to accept it, but before Hugo gave a speech to everyone, they already wanted to achieve this bigger goal.

They are actually more confident and aggressive than young people.

Hugo was very satisfied with the warm applause and response from the players, and Allegri didn't know what to say about it. The team's strength may be no problem in relegation, but it is still close to hit the European war, but it can't stand the rain If the ability to deceive people's hearts is not small, even they themselves have unknowingly developed confidence.

It just so happened that the next round was against Lecce at home, who is also a newly promoted team. Lecce is now in the quagmire of the relegation zone. After 18 rounds, they only have 12 points, which is 14 points behind Trapani. The three-game losing streak, the situation is very bad, Trapani's momentum at home, beat Lecce with a score of 4:0.

After this big victory, the players' confidence has increased a lot. After the last round of the game, Hugo shouted the slogan of pursuing the European war. After this game, the reporters interviewed the players of Trapani and they were also affirmed. answer.

"Why not?! We are an excellent team, we have ideals and ambitions, and we can pursue higher goals!" Captain Tony said in an interview with reporters.

Italians also understand humility. It is not surprising that those who have strength shout slogans, but those who do not have "strength" still shout slogans can only be laughed at. The outside world has mixed praise and criticism for Trapani's shouting slogans to enter Europe. Let's just wait and see, this season Trapani's relegation will be considered a success, shouting such slogans is a very ambitious move, and some believe that after Trapani has Pizarro's joining, the team's strength It has risen to a new level, and it is fully capable of moving towards the highest goal.

Pizarro has also become popular recently. In the game against Lecce, he played well and contributed a pass and a shot. Trapani completely grasped the situation on the court during the game and closely followed his scheduling. Inseparable, which is why some media said that Pizarro Trapani's strength has risen a lot.

Compared with Guardiola, Pizarro is currently only stronger than him rather than weaker than him. When Guardiola returned from injury, Guardiola found it difficult for him to shake Pizarro's position.

When it was time to call Qu, Guardiola knocked on Hugo's office door one day in mid-February. He wanted Hugo to clarify his position in the team.

"Pep, you are a good player! An undeniably good player! But the current situation, as you can see, David is more suitable for this team's current tactics than you!" Hugo told Guardiola bluntly .

Guardiola just wanted to say something, but Hugo waved his hand and continued: "With your current situation, it is very difficult to compete for the main position! I have to be honest with you. When we invited you here, we It took a lot of trouble, and your attitude is very sincere, and you have indeed made a great contribution to us!"

"You mean the team doesn't need me now?!" Guardiola was not angry, but very calm. He knew his physical condition and competitive level very well.

"That's not what I mean! I still believe that you can bring a lot to the team. For example, your experience is very important to us!" Hugo said, "However, the initiative is in your hands. You are currently positioned as a substitute in my mind, if you are willing to stay, of course I will welcome you, but if you are not willing, I hope that both of us can face up to our future!"

Saying this is not an expulsion order, but Hugo's statement is very specific. Whether you want to stay or not is entirely up to you.

Guardiola did not get what he wanted from Hugo, but the result is not a surprise. He really has to think about his future. According to the contract, he has not expired now. Stay here until the end of the contract, but judging from Hugo's tone, I am afraid that the Chinese Li Tie is ahead of him, which undoubtedly makes Guardiola feel very disappointed.

Before meeting Roma, Trapani also won Modena 2:0 in the away game. They only lost one game in the last seven rounds, and that was the loss to Milan. The state was staggering. In the standings, they Already the points have become 32 points, only 4 points behind the fourth Inter Milan.

In such a situation, Trapani will welcome Roma at home. Roma, led by Capello this season, has recovered and is currently ranked second in the standings with 46 points, 1 behind No.5 Milan. Points, this is not a gap that cannot be narrowed. In this round, Rome will challenge Trapani away, and Milan will play against Lecce at home.
