Chapter 430 158 International War of Words

In late February, the UEFA Champions League restarted. From January to February, Trapani's schedule was quite intensive, and the team's injuries began to increase. The Coppa Italia defeated Juventus away, but returned to Juventus at home. Defeating Trapani and eliminating Trapani with the advantage of the total score can be regarded as revenge.

不过在联赛中特拉帕尼却依然压制住尤文图斯，26轮联赛踢罢，特拉帕尼21胜3平2负积66分，尤文图斯20胜4平2负积64分，位居第二。

During this period, the team suffered injuries, and Deschamps had to deal with the follow-up intensive schedule and often took rotations, but their state was surprisingly good, and there was no decline in performance.

But before the away game against Rangers, Trapani's bad luck came. Tony was seriously injured in the game against Lecce and will be absent for about two months. Toni is one of Trapani's goals this season. Wang has scored 26 goals in 26 rounds in the league, averaging just 1 goal per game. This is his best season, and his performance is extremely stable!

Then, Ribery, who was trapped by contract renewal and Juventus transfer rumors, also suffered injuries and had to be absent for a month, and Barzagli suffered injuries on the defense line and would be absent for about two weeks.

Deschamps felt a headache. Kluivert, who was transferred during the winter break, was not convincing. He played 8 games, including two starts and six substitutes. He failed to score a goal. This efficiency is really disappointing.

The young striker Borriello, who came on loan from Milan, has played more than ten times as a substitute so far without scoring a single goal.

The reason why Trapani can achieve his current results is almost all because of the main starters, and the contribution of substitute forwards or wingers is too little.

Didier Deschamps is not the only one who can see the problem. Many Italian media also sang elegy for Trapani. Glasgow Rangers was the best draw among the Italian teams. However, without Tony, everyone Definitely underestimate Trapani's style.

On the evening of February 2, Trapani played the first round against the Glasgow Rangers at the Ibrox Stadium. Deschamps still insisted on the 22 formation, and Kluivert got the starting position again.

The home courts of the two mighty Celtics and Rangers of the Scottish Super League are known as the devil's home court in Europe. In this devil's home court, Trapani's performance is very poor, and the state is not good. The defense line is De Las Partnering with Samuel made frequent mistakes.

Glasgow Rangers adhere to a tough style of play, which is even worse than the Premier League teams. They have a tough defensive posture and a resolute counterattack. Trapani suffered a 0:1 loss in Glasgow. The station is at a disadvantage.

Trapani, who has always been good at attacking, didn't even score an away goal. When Hugo was interviewed after the game, he couldn't help complaining: "They may have lost their feet in Ibrox!"

In his mind, none of the team's starters is weak!
Of course, he had to complain about the opponent's rough movements, and complain that the referee Borat's whistle was useless!
"Their movements are so rough, this is a football game not rugby! I think they should play rugby!"

"Porat didn't have a whistle at all. He turned a blind eye to some rough fouls! Pizarro is now preliminarily diagnosed with a knee sprain, and Barry Ferguson, who fouled him maliciously, didn't even have a yellow card. I want to ask Ou The referee committee of the Football Federation, is such a standard that the UEFA Champions League should have!"

"The UEFA Champions League stage is the highest level of football in the world, but this is not a boxing ring. Of course we recognize physical contact, but rough movements are another matter!"

Hugo made a big mockery of the Glasgow Rangers. It seemed that the Glasgow Rangers were unworthy of appearing on the Champions League stage.

In addition to criticizing the poor performance of the team players, Deschamps also expressed his dissatisfaction with the rough actions of the Glasgow Rangers. He believed that Barry Ferguson's move to tackle Pizarro behind the ground in 65 minutes should be punished. Fellow referee Porat was intimidated by the atmosphere at the Ibrox Stadium and didn't have the guts to call a rough foul on Rangers.

Trapani's speech will naturally lead to a strong counterattack from Glasgow Rangers. Murray, the chairman of Glasgow Rangers, is furious. Does this damn Hugo have any sense of shame? We had a good time talking, and after the game ended, we began to scold us. Is this something people do? !

Italians are indeed shameless, especially Sicilians!
"Football is a man's game and they babble like a woman after a game! Disgusting!"

Murray didn't realize that his words had become the handle of women's rights defenders. Later, feminist activists in Scotland demanded that Murray apologize for what he had said, but now Murray didn't know that his words would cause feminist turmoil.

To be honest, Murray has never been so shameless. Hugo also scolded the fans at the time, saying that they were all bastards, which aroused widespread dissatisfaction among the fans. There were many critics, but Hugo shamelessly avoided it. There was nothing he could do about it, Murray had to save face, and finally apologized.

"In my opinion, they just can't afford to lose. They don't respect referees. I saw them put pressure on Borat many times on the court. This is their usual tactic. I'm not surprised at all!"

"I don't think it's meaningful to say these things after the game!" Murray concluded in a rather contemptuous tone.

The British media and the Italian media fought a war of words, and Zamparini made fun of Hugo. The talk has become international, and it has begun to go out of Italy and go to Europe!

Back to Trapani, Trapani ushered in the 27th round of the league at home, against Livorno at home, Livorno's performance this season is very good, currently ranked sixth with 43 points, Their home performance is particularly good, and their good performance has a lot to do with Trapani.

Because during the summer transfer, Lucarelli returned to Livorno. He was reused in Livorno and got a stable playing time. Specifically, Lucarelli also broke out on the field. Helping Livorno score 18 goals, you must know that Livorno only scored 30 goals in total, and nearly two-thirds were scored by Lucarelli alone.

How can Livorno not thank Trapani?!
On the whole, Livorno's offensive strength is not strong. They are the players with the fewest goals among the top six players, but their defense is comparable to Trapani's. In 26 league rounds, the average conceded goals per game With less than one goal, they only conceded 15 goals in twelve away games!
After experiencing the fierce battle in the middle of the week, Deschamps made some personnel adjustments. Kluivert's performance in the middle of the week was disappointing. Deschamps sent the young teenager Borriello to the court and changed 433.

However, the impact of injuries on Trapani is too great. Micoud and Pizarro are absent, and the midfielders are all defensive midfielders. The control is greatly reduced. It is not that the players do not work hard, but the reality is like this , almost relying on Messi for a point, it turned out that it was normal for Trapani to fail to score.

0:0 tied, Trapani lost at home and the outside world should have won the victory. After the game, many media began to say that Trapani's lineup was not deep enough and his successor was weak.

Some media even criticized Deschamps for selectively giving up the Coppa Italia, because in the second round of the Coppa Italia, Deschamps had as many as 5 substitutes on the bench, and it would be strange not to lose to Juventus!

Deschamps really wants to cry, but he really doesn't blame me for this. More competitions means more intensive schedule. What can we do if there is no rotation? !
