Chapter 258 Youth Team 2

"It's okay! Leo, how do you feel?!" Hugo breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and patted Messi who was lying on the physiotherapy bed.

"I'm fine!" Messi seemed unaffected by his opponent's malicious foul and replied with a smile.

"Gigi, they are really going too far! Leo is just a child and they are several years older than him. How can they treat him in this way?!" Old Messi complained to Hugo bitterly.

"Jorge, I know this is a very bad foul! I can understand your mood! I am also worried about Leo's injury, but after all, this is an unexpected incident like an injury in the game, which is always inevitable!" Hugo persuaded. Old Messi then said to Messi, "Leo, you must pay attention in the future. Now that you are performing very well in the youth league, many teams will definitely regard you as a key defensive target! In football It’s time you learned to protect yourself!”

"You must learn to be smarter! I watched this game in the stands. You spent too much time dribbling the ball. I know you have the ability to break out of the siege, but you are more likely to become a thorn in their side. Because of this, you The chance of injury will be much greater!”

"You are still young now. Tell me, you suffered serious injuries. Who was the unlucky one in the end?! It was you! Maybe one injury can end your career. This is really not worth it! Don’t forget that I am counting on your future!”

"How to deal with it on the court, when you can choose a personal breakthrough, and when you choose to pass the ball out to avoid risks, you should study more and listen to Mr. Allegri's opinion!"

"No matter what, you have to learn not to get hurt or try to avoid getting hurt!"

Messi nodded. Old Messi had nothing to say. Hugo made a lot of sense. The better a person is, the more likely he is to be resented by others, especially young people, whose heads are prone to dizziness. Messi is on the court. The more active he is, the uglier he is as an opponent. There is no guarantee that no young man will intentionally injure him, so Hugo is right to suggest that he be smarter when playing football.

While he was talking, the game was over and the locker room door was pushed open. The youth team players who were talking and laughing were stunned when they saw the boss. Allegri and several assistants were also stunned for a moment, and then they made fun of Yu. fruit.

"So you're here, why are you free to come over and watch the game today?!"

Hugo's face turned a little red when he said this. He had arranged for Allegri to go to the youth training camp and said that the team's goal was to vigorously develop the youth training. As a result, he, the boss, did not visit the youth training camp for a long time. , Allegri is used to it, and he and Hugo don't communicate much in this regard on weekdays, but today he is still a little resentful.

"Uncle Jon, you did a good job! I was too busy with work some time ago, so I took the time to come over and take a look!" Hugo looked at Allegri and his assistants with approval.

Then he said to the young players blocking the door: "Why are you all standing there?! Do what you have to do! Go take a shower and change your clothes. Be careful not to catch a cold!"

Then he said: "You have played our Trapani name in the youth league this season. I am very satisfied and happy! I am treating you tonight, let's go to the Colleni Hotel for dinner!"

Most of the young players were unfamiliar with Hugo, except for a few Argentinian children, who immediately cheered in the crowd.

Allegri was relieved after asking about Messi's injury. Messi is one of the reasons why the Trapani youth team is different. Allegri understands this very well. If Messi Affected by injuries, the performance of the Trapani youth team will definitely be greatly affected. Since Messi is fine now, then missing one or two games is not a big problem. You must know what Allegri wants. Reversed Juventus to win the championship.

Messi definitely couldn't go to any party tonight. Lu Fan found someone to send the father and son back, and Hugo, Selly and Allegri left the locker room and chatted in the tunnel.

"Uncle, I have to say thank you! The youth team's current results are inseparable from you! Thank you very much for staying and helping me!" Hugo said sincerely.

Of course Allegri was very proud of his results. It made him feel like he had in his first year in Trapani. At that time, the players in the team were very obedient. After all, they were all locals under Hugo. , now these are all young players, they are also very obedient, and there are almost no irritants. The team's performance is of course related to Trapani's aggressive poaching and recruiting of many young talents, but it is also related to Allegri's carefulness. Teaching also has a lot to do with it.

"Hehe, don't mention it again if you want to thank me! It's not like you gave me the opportunity to practice, how can I achieve results?!" Allegri said as if he was self-effacing.

"But if there is a chance in the future, I will still leave. We are friends, close friends, and I have to say some things first!" Allegri really fell in love with the head coach's profession. Of course, he also has a greater He has his own ambitions and plans, and it is impossible to stay with Hugo as the head coach of the youth team for the rest of his life.

Now Zeman's position in Trapani's first team seems to be very solid. On the one hand, Allegri has no chance to be the head coach of the first team, and on the other hand, he himself has not obtained a higher-level coaching certificate. Method to coach the Serie B first team.

"You have your own plan, and of course I won't stop it! But if Trapani is in trouble in the future, you can't just sit idly by!" Hugo agreed readily, and he still had some idea of ​​Allegri's thoughts. two.

"I'm afraid you'll despise me for my lack of knowledge!" Allegri said with a smile.

After chatting and laughing with Allegri for a while, Hugo asked about the situation of the U19 age group in the national league. These players are nominally participating in the U19, but there is no particular age limit. Moreover, many of the players recruited by Trapani's youth training camp are young teenagers. The players participating in the U19 age group are not very old, but Messi is a special case. He was directly promoted to this age group to participate in the National Youth League. He is the youngest in this team.

At the end of this season, I'm afraid that many players in this age group will have to give up their careers in playing football. Hugo asked this question to ask Allegri if there are any outstanding figures in this team.

"Messi!" Allegri said with a smile. He was joking. Messi is a genius known to everyone, and Hugo particularly values ​​him.

"Is there no one else besides Messi?!" Hugo also laughed.

"His compatriot, Pablo Zabaleta!" Allegri introduced, "He is a midfielder, and he is balanced in attack and defense!"

Hugo has an impression that this is the Argentine teenager who came here with Hernandez. He was still young when he came here, but now he has grown up.

"I wonder if you noticed our goalkeeper?!" Allegri laughed again.

Goalkeeper? ! To be honest, Hugo may be more familiar with that group of Argentine players, but he is not familiar with the young players from his country that Seli has dug up. He shook his head.

"Emiliano Viviano, he is only more than 17 years old now, but he performs very well on the court. I am not a scout, but I think he is really good. Maybe next year we can consider letting him feel the atmosphere of Serie A! He used to be in the youth training of Florence. The training has always been very professional, the technical movements are very standardized, and the awareness in front of the goal is also very good!" Allegri introduced.

"Leo, you have done another great deed!" Hugo turned his head and smiled as he praised Seli. Almost all the domestic players were recruited under Seli's leadership, and Seli deserves such praise.

"Viviano?! I remember that before recruiting him, I went to the youth training camp in Florence to see him several times. He was one of the young players who were paid!" Seli said.

Trapani's youth training camp is always successful in recruiting players. The most important thing is to pay wages. The wages are not high, but it is definitely better than no wages. Some players with ordinary family conditions attach great importance to this. There are also many players in Trapani's youth training camp who are not paid. Many of them are young players from Sicily.

"Next season, if they are willing, Seli, you have to find a way to loan these players out. With games, their experience will grow faster! It's just a youth league, and the intensity is still much smaller!" Hugo ordered.

This is also a matter of course. Players over 18 years old cannot stay in the youth training camp all the time. This is what the big clubs in Italy do. Trapani must do the same. It is best to find a way to let them go to the third division or the second division to receive practical training. The specific method needs to be considered separately.

These players have been staying here to play in the youth league, which is not suitable for their growth. It also suppresses the growth of players in the next age group. Their strength and experience are definitely better than those in the next age group. They must occupy most of the positions in the youth team. Other young players can only play in the regional league, and the youth league in the region is not as high as the national league. You must know that the national youth league is not divided into regions. Not all teams in Serie A and Serie B have the money to let their youth teams participate in the national league. Therefore, there are actually only 22 teams in the highest level of the youth league.

Hugo said it was a loan, but there is actually room for negotiation. For some good seedlings, Trapani does not mind sharing with other small teams in the form of co-ownership, so that those small teams can benefit, and they can also try their best to ensure their playing time when cultivating the seedlings from Trapani.

If such a means of loan is used on Messina, which has a close relationship with Trapani, Messina will definitely give opportunities to them, but it is hard to say about other teams. Paladino, who was loaned to Trapani by Juventus this season, is an example. Trapani loaned him because of lack of manpower. As a result, when he came to the team, Trapani did keep his word and gave him a chance to play, but he mostly came on as a substitute and did not play much. To put it bluntly, it was clearly a way to buy time!
