Chapter 335 63. New Coach Press Conference 2
"Hello, I'm Giacomo Modica, technical coach. I was a player there when Zeman coached the Palermo youth team, and later I played for Licata and Messina. After I retired in 2000, I joined Zeman's coaching team and went to Turkey with him! After that, I coached alone for a few years, and now I'm lucky to work with Zeman again!"
"Hello, I'm Roberto Ferrola, physical coach! I started my coaching career at Lazio in 1988, worked with Materazzi for 2 seasons, worked with Zoff for 4 seasons, and I also worked with Zeman during the 3 seasons he coached Lazio. I have been with Zeman in all his subsequent coaching, except for the last time he coached Trapani!"
Zeman brought a coaching team of only three people, but with the original four coaches, the team already has seven coaches.
As for the goalkeeper coach position, Encono was introduced by Hugo alone for Kameni, so he can be ignored, but there are two assistant coaches and two fitness coaches, so the reporters' questions also came.
"Mr. Zeman, Trapani has several other coaches, how are you going to arrange it?!"
"We will become a whole again. I have worked with them before. They are all excellent coaches. I believe we can also cooperate happily this time!" Zeman did not answer this question directly. He had an arrangement in his mind, but he had to discuss it with Barrias and others. Zeman knew that Barrias and others were obviously more trusted by Hugo than his old man. Sometimes it is not a bad thing to have such a coach in the team. At least in communicating with Hugo, they can play a big role.
As for Barrias's stay, neither party mentioned it in the contract negotiation with Zeman. This is a tacit understanding, and Hugo's action is not just this. Next, Hugo will appoint the team leader. This role will be played by Antonio Perotti. He will no longer serve as Seli's assistant but will follow the team. This young man is Hugo's confidant. To put it bluntly, Hugo wants to grasp the team's dynamics anytime and anywhere and closely monitor the team.
As long as there is no division of power, Zeman has no reason to oppose the team's addition of the position of leader.
"Can you talk about your feelings about returning to Trapani?! Mr. Zeman!"
"I am very happy to be able to return to Trapani! I have had pleasant memories here. Now it seems that the team has not changed much from a year ago. I am familiar with everyone. I believe that I will have a pleasant cooperation period with the players!" Zeman smiled. It is still very gratifying to return to Trapani. After all, he is an offensive coach. Now more and more people are not superstitious about his set. It is very unlikely that a strong team will invite him to be the head coach, but Trapani's senior executives trust him.
Trapani will be able to fight in the European war next season, how can Zeman not be happy to return? !
"Mr. Colani, re-sign Mr. Zeman! What do you think?!" A reporter in the group of reporters asked directly.
"Signing Mr. Zeman is not my decision alone! Since I plan to leave the position of head coach after the end of the season, we have been considering the head coach candidate! From the perspective of the team's familiarity, Mr. Zeman is not unfamiliar with the environment and players here. We believe that he can adapt to the team quickly! From the perspective of tactical style, we appreciate Mr. Zeman's football philosophy very much. Under his leadership, the team performed very well before, and I believe he can still do it now! So we chose him and trust him!" Hugo replied with a smile.
"So what is Trapani's goal for the new season?!" Another reporter asked, but did not name him.
Zeman looked at Hugo, sorry that we haven't discussed the goal for the new season.
"Our goal for the new season is still relegation!" Hugo's words were really shocking.
What kind of goal is this? This fucking requirement is too low!
"Relegation?! Did we hear it right?!" The reporters were dumbfounded again. A team ranked fourth in the league said that its goal for next season is relegation. Isn't this a joke?
Zeman secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was rare for Hugo to say such a goal. Perhaps because he had been a head coach, he knew that the new season was not easy for Trapani. If they failed to find a Taobao in the transfer market, they would most likely collapse. Perugia is a lesson for them!
"You heard it right! Our goal for the new season is still to gain a foothold in the league! We will do our best in European competitions! We were promoted last season, and our tactical style was not fully understood by other teams. We will face huge difficulties in the new season! Don't think too much of us. We are not that strong! We are not Juventus, Milan, or Inter Milan!" Hugo said truthfully. The goal was just tempted out by the reporters just now. To be honest, he had never thought about it before.
Because he has been a head coach, he knows how dangerous the next season will be for Trapani. He casually said that relegation is the goal, and now he is more determined. As long as they can stay in the league and wait for the players under him to grow up, maybe it won't be so difficult.
Reporters also asked Zeman about this goal.
"The boss said so! Of course I support it!" Zeman is really shameless and immediately replied with a smile.
Tsk! What a team with no ambitions. After all, you have a place in the European competition. Shouldn't you consider fighting for Italy? !
Some reporters with quick brains thought that this was some kind of signal, for example, Trapani will have another dull summer in the summer transfer market.
"Can you tell us about the summer transfer plan?!" Domenico asked.
Zeman looked at Hugo again. Transfer director Seli was not there today, so only Hugo or Giorgio could answer the question.
Hugo gestured to Giorgio to answer.
"We have some goals! But we can't say it now. Our purpose is to consider strengthening the team from the perspective of player strength rather than fame!" Giorgio said to the microphone.
Tsk, that still means there will be no large investment!
"Mr. Colani, you are among the top few in the latest Italian wealth list, with a net worth of billions of euros. How much money do you plan to invest in transfers in the summer?!" Some reporters pointed the finger directly at Hugo, and asked so directly that it was almost an accusation, almost saying that Hugo was a miser.
"Those reports are false, and I don't have much money! Besides, it's my personal freedom to invest or not!" Hugo argued.
In fact, the media reports are indeed false. His net worth is not just the figures published by the media. The shares of Hugo International Investment Company are almost that number, and Hugo himself has a private company with assets that exceed that number.
There is a reason why reporters despise Hugo's stinginess, but he doesn't know the deep-seated reason for Hugo's stinginess. That's because Hugo has to keep his composure in order to raise funds for the new stadium.
Speaking of money, Trapani is finally going to make money this summer. They will go overseas for training and no longer hold Trapani friendly matches. They have two destinations in the summer: China and the United States.
As a later generation, Hugo knows that although the United States is known as a football desert, they are the country with the most developed sports industry in the world. It is still the most important market for Trapani in the future, and China is a rising sports industry power. With the rise of the Internet, China will one day become a sports industry power. Trapani should cultivate fans early, not to mention that the team itself has taken the first step, and Li Tie has a strong appeal in China.
