Chapter 394 The New Season Begins

Trapani's air defense has always been a weakness. If there are experienced players, experience can make up for the gap in height, but the problem is that Trapani's defense has never had that kind of very experienced player. Barr Neither Zali nor Victor came from the low-level leagues with Trapani. They still struggled against the top centers.

It was better to have Natali in the past, but then Natali went to Udinese, Rinaudo has grown in height, not only lacks strength but also lacks experience, Trapani has never had a central defender with a height over 190 .

The arrival of De Las was recognized by Deschamps, and he was also interested in De Las's air defense capability.

So far, Trapani's transfer operation has basically been completed. Trapani still has money to operate, but the key is to look at the right place. There is still a possibility of reinforcement in the midfield. Sely is actively operating and wants to Introduce a player who can significantly improve the team's midfield strength.

Before the away game against Sporting Lisbon, Hugo promised a lot of money for the team. He promised that if the team can enter the Champions League, he will give everyone a big reward of 1000 million euros.

Hugo himself believes that it is more difficult to play in the Champions League play-offs this season than last season. First, the team’s lineup has changed a bit, and Deschamps has made a lot of tactical adjustments; second, the opponents are not the same. Sporting Lisbon, Portugal's traditional strong team, are particularly good at attacking. Trapani's weak point also happens to be defense. Didier Deschamps has not taken over the team for a long time, and Hugo can't guarantee a qualitative change in the team's defense. .

Hugo went to Portugal with the team, and he was warmly received by the chairman of Sporting Lisbon, Da Genia. There has been cooperation between the two clubs in the past, but there have been few exchanges in recent years. , Trapani is now much more cautious.

The top management is very friendly, but the stadium situation is not very friendly. Sporting Lisbon missed the UEFA Cup at home last season. They plan to make a comeback in the new season. They have to prove themselves in the Champions League. The home game against them looks aggressive. Trapa Ni's starting midfielders are Essien and Pizarro, and Trapani's parallel position is completely unable to restrain Sporting Lisbon's possession.

The main reason is that the team's understanding of Deschamps' tactics is not thorough enough, and Deschamps' ideas have not been realized by Trapani's players.

So Trapani was in a passive situation. Didier Deschamps couldn't make temporary tactical adjustments and shrunk his formation. In the first half, he relied on tenacious defense to draw with Sporting Lisbon.

Deschamps made a tactical change in the second half, allowing the veteran Micoud to play, and the starting center Vieri to leave the field. The change was 433. Klose served as the single arrow. The situation on the court improved a lot. Trapani clearly occupied the second half. The advantage, finally relying on Franck Ribery's assists, Micoud's header scored, 1:0 victory over Sporting Lisbon.

A good start to the new season, this away result is ideal, back home, with a clearer understanding of the Sporting Lisbon Trapani team, Deschamps should be able to adjust the team's state.

While Trapani was fighting in Europe, the Italian football world was once again in chaos. The Italian football world has always been relatively dirty and chaotic. Naturally, a wealthy game like Hugo who follows the rules of the game is not afraid of anyone, but it cannot stand the Italian football leagues at all levels. Many teams do not abide by the rules, and match-fixing and gambling happen from time to time. Uh, Hugo has also fixed matches, but he was lucky to escape.

Some teams are not so lucky. Next year is the year of the World Cup. It stands to reason that the league should start early. Serie A is originally the league that started relatively late among the major leagues. It was originally scheduled to start the new season in mid-August, but now But encountered a problem.

Genoa and Torino were penalized for relegation according to the Lazio Regional Court's verdict last week.In particular, the Disciplinary Committee of the Football Association has recently rejected the appeal of the Genoa club, deciding that they will play in the C-League next season after being successfully promoted, and will be deducted 3 points from the beginning.

Genoa's penalty was related to its alleged participation in match-fixing. Unlike them, Turin and the second-tier clubs Perugia and Salernitana failed to pass the registration required by the Football Association due to financial problems.According to past practice, such bankrupt clubs will be directly relegated to the C-Level 2002. Fiorentina once encountered such bad luck in [-].But this time the Football Association stated that it could grant mercy extrajudicially and only punish these clubs for downgrading by one level, that is, Turin was downgraded to the second level, Perugia and Salernitana were downgraded to the third level, but at the same time, the players of these clubs will be relegated. Free transfers allowed.

Due to a series of unexpected reasons, the Football Association postponed the date of announcing the new season schedule to August 8, which will obviously have a considerable impact on the preparations of the teams.On the other hand, due to the deprivation of the qualifications of the two newly promoted horses of Turin and Genoa, two places in Serie A were vacant, and the Football Association wanted to give the places to Bologna and Regina.

Good guy, as long as Carraro and his ilk are optimistic about it, how can Hugo avoid spoilers? He returned to Italy from Lisbon and ordered his cousin Morek to tell reporters in an interview: "In my opinion, this is a big deal for other people. The two teams are not fair, we should give the Serie B team more chances!"

Saying this, Hugo is not aimless, it’s not that his head is twitching, and he has to offend Bologna and Regina, but because the current time is right after the start of the league, and Serie B can enter Serie A according to the ranking. Treviso and Ascoli, first of all, their strength is not strong, and secondly, they really go to Serie A. There is not much time left for them to transfer, and it is almost impossible to make any big achievements.

In this way, they are completely rookies in entering Serie A. Trapani's current situation certainly hopes that there will be more rookies in the league. Trapani is a strong team anyway, and this mentality is normal.

Now that Trapani has spoken out, many Serie A teams have also spoken out, ok, ok, it’s the two of them, the two relegation quotas for next season will be confirmed at once. How good it is, it must be better than Bologna, Reggina is strong in Serie A like this.

What Hugo did this time is very unwise, because there are also very loud voices of controversy within the Football Association. Doesn’t Galliani and Moggi know what Hugo plans? Not only are they opposed to military expansion, but they also favor For Treviso and Ascoli, it's just that they are not as high-profile as Hugo, and now Hugo has done something that offended people, and they have also rarely echoed Hugo.

Now with the deterioration of the Italian football environment, the glory of the small World Cup has long been over. The accumulation of many problems has led to a very poor market. Almost every team is facing operational problems and cannot achieve a balance in revenue and expenditure. Serie A The attendance rate is getting worse and worse. Bankruptcy is not uncommon. The giants are shrinking their money, not to mention the non-rich teams. Ni became the focus of the entire Serie A, buying and selling, even the small boss Victor was sent away, and various media gathered in Trapani, which brought a lot of extra income to Trapani.

The Football Association finally echoed the demands of the public, allowing Treviso and Ascoli to come off the bench, and then announced the schedule for the new season. The first round of the new season will start on August 8. Trapani had previously There was a second round against Sporting Lisbon. Before the second round, Trapani introduced the second goalkeeper Fontana in the goalkeeper position, perfecting the last piece of the puzzle. Trapani’s chairman Morek was interviewed When it was announced that the team's transfer was over, that was it.

In the 05-06 season, there were 24 players in Trapani's first team.

Goalkeepers: Kameni, Fontana, Gilini
Defenders: Macho, Maicon, Barzagli, Samuel, De Las, Peluso, Evra, Jankulovski

Midfielders: Mascherano, Padoin, Zabaleta, Micoud, Li Tie, Essien, Ribery, Messi.

Forwards: Toni, Vieri, Klose, Pellet, Borriello
Compared with last year, the first team has been reduced to a certain extent. After Zabaleta came back on loan, Trapani kept him. Without supplements, it is not enough. Trapani can select candidates from the youth team.
