Chapter 501 Super Cup Preview
Hugo is a person who does what he says. He made an appointment with Rossi, the commissioner of the Football Association, in the evening. Hugo went to Rome to meet him the next day. When Hugo told him about the idea of building the second team, Rossi quickly I realized that this would definitely harm the interests of many people.
"Who are they?!" Hugo sneered. It's just the interests of some people, and these people are all powerless people. They rely on nothing more than strength in numbers, but there must be many people who support the second team's proposal. , Hugo doesn’t believe that the three powerful northerners won’t be tempted, and he doesn’t believe that Bozuo won’t be tempted!
What's the use of howling? !
Hugo said in his heart that you just care too much about feathers and have no courage!
"Which is more important, the interests of a small group of them or the future of Italian football?!" Hugo asked loudly.
"You don't even have such a sense of responsibility. I think you have failed as a commissioner!" Hugo scolded Rossi unceremoniously, "Can you do this by yourself?! Of course it's impossible! This is impossible!" Aren’t we still behind it?”
Hugo came to Rossi just to ask Rossi to take the lead. As a commissioner, he was more effective than Hugo and had a transcendent status. He was not the chairman elected by everyone and could be much more unscrupulous.
"Okay, I will propose it as soon as possible! As long as there is no problem with the professional league, it should be no problem!" Rossi gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He wanted to change, and most importantly, he wanted to change from commissioner to chairman. Without Hugo's support, it would not work.
Of course there is no problem with the professional league. Zamparini has no reason to refuse such a suggestion. He himself also wants to set up a B team to participate in the competition. He even hopes for such a thing to happen. The Pozzo family of Udinese makes him a little jealous.
At the end of August, the difficult Serie A schedule was released, and the first round of games will not start until September 10, which is after the national team match day.
The second trial of Calciopoli is also over. The court did not fully uphold the previous sentence. Both Juventus and Milan received some reduced sentences. Milan’s Champions League qualification was retained. Moggi was banned from engaging in football for seven years, while Galli Yanni is eight months old.
Galliani has Berlusconi behind him. Presumably, Berlusconi and the Agnelli family had some input behind the verdict.
Calciopoli was a disaster, but life must go on. Trapani did not add insult to injury, but Inter Milan was different. They paid heavily to poach Ibrahimovic and also poached Vieira. All of a sudden After killing two Juventus generals, Juventus fans finally turned their guns and directed their anger at Inter Milan!
The friendly relationship between Milan and Juventus still exists. They extended their tentacles to Buffon. Everyone knows that Buffon refused and stuck to Juventus.
However, after Milan qualified for the Champions League, they also had the courage to introduce players. They have always wanted Ronaldo, but Real Madrid currently has no intention of giving up Ronaldo.
Therefore, Milan's signings were greatly affected. Their signings did not go well in the summer. After the second trial was announced, Berlusconi called Hugo and said he wanted Mascherano, but Hugo rejected him mercilessly. .
"How about Essien?" Hugo recommended Essien. It was not that he was dissatisfied with Essien, but that there were too many midfielders. Essien could be sold for a sky-high price. Essien played a key role in the third-line battle last season. effect.
Essien, a hero in Hugo, can be sold. Bastian Schweinsteiger and Ballack have just been acquired and cannot be sold. Mascherano is his direct descendant and cannot be sold. Pizarro He is the only player in the midfield who can control the rhythm and cannot be sold. Li Tie is a weapon for developing the Chinese market and cannot be sold. Pardo is too weak to sell at a high price. The rest is Essien. Of course, others will give him The price must be right.
Hugo's recommendation was tentative, and Berlusconi was interested in talking to Hugo about the business: "How much do you plan to sell?"
"Fifty million euros, no two prices!"
"Do you know how much Sheva sells for?"
"But Michael is younger and more energetic. You have too many old people who lack vitality. Michael can bring you benefits!" Hugo said seriously.
"Forget it! You know I can't afford this money!" Berlusconi gave up!
Stingy old man! Hugo secretly cursed that Berlusconi was not so willing to invest. Of course, Milan is a vampire and has sucked away a lot of Berlusconi's money. Their business situation is not as good as Juventus. The players who strengthen their team earn a lot of money. Their annual salary Accounting for a large part of the operating income, Berlusconi does not want to continue spending money to introduce players, unless there are some special ones, such as Buffon.
The day of the Champions League draw has also come, and Trapani club Morek and Giorgio, as well as several players from the best team, attended the draw ceremony.
Trapani will be one of the strongest contenders in the new season. At a glance, Trapani has not made any big moves in the summer transfer market, but the European media are once again examining Trapani. lineup, but there is nothing to say. I really don’t know what else this team needs to strengthen.
Who among them is not a famous general in each line? ! There are two people in that position. If reinforcements are needed, maybe Ribery's vacancy is a hidden danger.
Now they will also say that Trapani is a strong contender for the Champions League. They will never say that Trapani is a dark horse again, and whoever draws Trapani in the draw must be the next one. sign.
Because Trapani only performed well last season, they were still ranked in the second tier. As a result, they were drawn with Liverpool, Bordeaux and Galatasaray. In this group, Trapani is called the second tier, but it is actually the most favored team. Liverpool is second, while Bordeaux and Galatasaray are evenly matched. They were booked to compete for the UEFA Cup seat early.
Moreke said to reporters very modestly: "I don't think we are the favorites to qualify. We need to play one game at a time. We don't know the situation of our opponents. This is our biggest disadvantage!"
Isn't it true? Trapani has never played against the three teams in the group. Well, if friendly matches are counted, Trapani invited Liverpool to a friendly match this summer. Moreke said that this is the biggest disadvantage and it is not an empty talk.
Trapani's draw is not bad, and the draws of several other Italian teams are also good. In short, the group draw situation of Italian teams in the 2006-07 Champions League is better than last year. Last year, Trapani was seriously in the death group.
Inter Milan, Milan and Roma, which entered the finals, all expressed optimism.
Hugo learned the result of the draw at home and called Miku as soon as possible. Miku happened to return to Bordeaux in the summer. Who knew that by coincidence, they would soon meet in the Champions League.
Both of them had an indescribable feeling, feeling why it was so coincidental, excited and a little emotional. Miku said he didn't know how the fans would treat him when he returned to Trapani.
"How will they treat you?! You look down on the fans of Trapani too much! I believe they will welcome you with the warmest applause! You are the hero of this team, and no one will forget your contribution!" Hugo smiled.
After the Champions League draw, Trapani ushered in the appetizer before the start of the Serie A, the most important "warm-up match", the Italian Super Cup!
This is the first time Trapani has entered the Italian Super Cup. Who let them win the league championship for the first time?
Their opponent is the Italian Cup champion Roma. Roma's transfer investment in the new season is of course not much, because they are poor, Sensi is a poor guy, naturally there is no way to invest too much, it is really difficult for Spalletti, but they did not sell the main players, Sensi is desperate to keep his main structure.
In the summer, Totti, De Rossi and others were coveted by other teams, Sensi kept them and only sent away a few veterans.
Generally speaking, building a team is like sailing against the current, if you don't move forward, you will retreat, but this season is a little different. Affected by the phone gate, Milan and Florence have been penalized. If Roma maintains the state and personnel of last season, they will have a great advantage in competing for the European Cup seat, and Sensi's current dream is to maintain this state.
