Chapter 520 Sympathy
Such a Trapani is of course boring to watch. Hugo can only chat with Franza. It is a game that must be won, but he seems to be indifferent. What can be done? ! The away fans in the stands booed sporadically. Needless to say, they don't like the players' performance.
It would be good if they could get a draw, but Trapani lost the ball!
The game is almost over, and they lost two goals in a row. Not only did they not score a goal, but they were washed away by Messina.
The away fans are not booing sporadically now, but booing loudly. The shoddy construction is better than your defense. Trapani's players feel uncomfortable listening to the boos. Klinsmann is furious. He didn't expect it to be so difficult to win a game.
"I'm really sorry for today! Thank you!" Franza said happily. He was as excited as the Messina fans. He didn't expect to win this game at all. Messina's strength is far better than Trapani.
"He has made the fans of the other two teams so happy this season, and it's not surprising to have one more team like you!" Hugo said with heartache and helplessness.
The defending champion lost three games in a row!
What many media dared not to think about has happened!
"Trapani will fire Jurgen Klinsmann within 24 hours!" "Gazzetta dello Sport" published an article immediately after the game, claiming that Hugo's patience has reached a limit. It is a shame for the defending champion to lose three games in a row. Trapani's top management will not let Klinsmann continue to stand on the training ground tomorrow.
They did not get the gossip from somewhere, but relied on their own commentator's exclusive analysis. How could he not be fired after three consecutive losses? !
Morek and others held an emergency meeting when they returned to Trapani. Giorgio said that we should try to contact Ranieri to see what he is willing to do!
The focus of everyone's discussion is no longer whether Klinsmann will be fired, but who will succeed him.
His suggestion was unanimously agreed by the participants, and then Giorgio consulted the team's elders. Toni was a very rational guy. He knew that the responsibility for the team's situation was not Klinsmann alone. The players had not been in good shape since the World Cup, and everyone was responsible. But what else could be done now except firing Klinsmann? !
Someone has to take the blame!
The odds of the new coach of major gambling companies have also come out, with all kinds of odds. Surprisingly, the odds show that Lippi is the most likely to take over Trapani. It's a joke.
Klinsmann was a little nervous at the press conference after the game. Regarding the question of whether he would be fired, Klinsmann answered perfunctorily that he didn't know, but in fact his heart was already empty.
When the club's top management took action separately, Giorgio contacted Ranieri, and Morek contacted Klinsmann and his agent Ettel. At two o'clock in the morning, Klinsmann received a call from Ettel at the training base. He told Klinsmann that Trapani was going to fire him.
Klinsmann was not angry. It had not been long since he last talked to Hugo, but the team's situation had deteriorated again and again. He could guess what Hugo was thinking.
Four games without a win, three consecutive defeats at the start of the league, nothing could be worse than this. Klinsmann just said "oh".
Hugo soon learned of Morek's decision. He was still in Messina and had a party with Franza, Alberto Ricci and others that night.
When Morek told him the decision, Hugo did not sleep either. He felt good about their decision and was even more relaxed.
He thought differently from others. Since Klinsmann talked to him, he sympathized with Klinsmann. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Klinsmann was wronged. It cannot be said that he was completely wronged, but it was certain that he had taken a lot of blame.
The root of the trouble this season is Deschamps. If he hadn't left, Hugo believed that it would not be so miserable. But after he left, everything was different. Things happened one after another, injuries and conflicts within the team have been happening all the time. Trapani has never been so chaotic in recent years.
Klinsmann wanted to change under such conditions, which obviously had many difficulties. The only performance is the characteristic of modern football. Hugo was not so willing to fire Klinsmann, but he had no choice. If Klinsmann really left this position, who knows how far he would fall. He could only let Klinsmann go!
The decision was not made by him, and he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.
Thinking of Klinsmann, Hugo also called him in the middle of the night.
Klinsmann thought that the decision was made by Hugo. He was surprised that Hugo actually called him. He originally thought that Hugo would be very disappointed, but Hugo said to him: "Mr. Klinsmann, I have always admired you, and I still do! Your ideas have touched me, but you also know that results are very important in this industry."
"Mr. Coleman, I am not angry, nor do I complain! Thank you very much for saying that!" Klinsmann smiled bitterly.
"You should know that we are a strong team, and we are also becoming a giant. After the phone gate, I also thought that the league would be relatively easy, but reality tells me that it is not the case. Every team wants to beat us. The pressure here is very high! We must stop this decline, so..." Hugo explained.
Klinsmann understood very well that he could not force Hugo to give him time, and he also knew that Trapani would not give time to anyone unless the head coach was Hugo.
After communicating with Klinsmann for a while, both Hugo and Klinsmann felt a little relieved and relaxed.
Klinsmann fell asleep in the office, but Hugo was not sleepy. He thought about the next head coach in his mind, and automatically thought of Allegri in his mind. Thinking of the days they were together in the past, Hugo could not help but wake up Uncle Jon again.
"Brother, do you know what time it is now?!" Allegri answered the phone very politely.
"I don't care what time it is. I'll give you a job. Are you willing to do it?" Hugo said angrily.
"Work?" Allegri climbed out of bed and finally cleared his mind.
"You won't tell me to let me be the head coach of Trapani?!" Allegri asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I have such a plan! What do you think?!" Hugo asked.
"You fired Klinsmann?!"
"Yes!"
"Poor guy!"
"I can't help it. The team's performance has reached this point. What if we don't let him go?! Tell me, can we afford the gamble?!" Hugo said helplessly.
"Then you bet on me?! If you let me go, it will be a gamble that is more risky than Klinsmann. It's still in time for the team to get back on track now, but it will be too late after ten rounds!" Allegri interrupted.
"Haha, so you are going to refuse!" Hugo really didn't expect that the uncle would give this answer.
"Yes, I refuse! Please, I don't think I have the ability to take over Trapani now!" Allegri smiled bitterly. If it was the previous two years, he might really try, but now it's not possible. Trapani's current situation is very complicated. Allegri doesn't think he has enough ability to deal with possible problems.
Hugo thought about it and smiled bitterly. In the summer, Giorgio and others firmly opposed Allegri's entry. They were talking about Allegri's experience. He really has no experience and has never played with a Serie B team. Hugo didn't expect Allegri to think of himself in this way.
Since Allegri rejected the invitation, Hugo naturally wouldn't tell Morek and the others about this idea.
That night, the staff of Trapani Club quietly posted an official statement on the website:
Due to the recent poor performance, Mr. Klinsmann will no longer serve as the team's head coach from now on. The first-team work will be temporarily handled by assistant coach Barrias. We sincerely thank Mr. Klinsmann for his contribution to the team and wish him all the best in the future!
