Chapter 532 Bowing
Most of the Italian media are in favor of the new policy proposed by Football Association Commissioner Rossi. On the one hand, bosses like Hugo and others who occupy a strong position control a lot of public opinion. On the other hand, in terms of its essence, the general opinion of fans also believes that This is a good thing. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, more than 70% of fans believe this is a good thing for the future of Italian football.
So Rossi decided to hold a Football Association meeting in early November to discuss and decide on the details of the policy.
On November 1st, Trapani ushered in a home game against Galatasaray. Before this game, Trapani had lost three consecutive games in the league, but immediately after changing the head coach, they lost again. Ushered in six consecutive victories, after 9 rounds of games, 6 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses, the points reached 18 points, the ranking skyrocketed, reaching the third place in the standings.
Ranked first is Inter Milan. They have not suffered a defeat so far. They left Adriano and came to Ibrahimovic, which proved that Inter Milan turned better.
Ranked second is actually Trapani’s rival in the same city. Perhaps the first-round derby gave Palermo great confidence. They won 7 games in 8 rounds and only lost to Atalanta. There are many giants like Milan who lost completely in front of Palermo. Palermo also accumulated 21 points and ranked second.
After suffering a defeat at Trapani, Roma is in decent shape and currently ranks fourth with 17 points.
It can be said that Sicilian football is at its most glorious moment, with two teams in the top three, but Hugo knows that Palermo will fall behind sooner or later, because Palermo's strength is only like that, and they cannot last long.
He didn't know Zan Dazui, but he remembered those years when Trapani made a splash when they debuted in Serie A under the leadership of Hugo. Now he also longs for his team to create such glory under the leadership of Guidolin.
He stopped praising him loudly in front of the media and showed great humility, claiming that Palermo was not strong enough to dream of a championship and he would not put pressure on Guidolin!
But the problem for Zamparini is not humility, but before the game between Trapani and Galatasaray, reporters asked him what he thought. Zamparini wanted to say that I wish Trapani lost, but If you still have the status of president of the professional league and wish Trapani bad luck, then you would be really sorry for your status.
"Of course I hope they win!" Zamparini's smile became more flowery.
Galatasaray's current situation is precarious. In the previous three rounds of competition, Trapani and Liverpool directly competed and ended in a draw. However, in the face of Bordeaux and Galatasaray, who are next in strength, two goals Both teams performed extremely strongly, scoring three points from their opponents.
Trapani and Liverpool currently have seven points, occupying the top two places in the group, while Bordeaux and Galatasaray have only one point. Halfway through the group stage, the two teams are already one point behind Trapani. Pani and Liverpool six points.
The qualifying situation in Group C is very clear. If Galatasaray cannot win this game, they are likely to say goodbye to the Champions League and compete with Bordeaux for a spot in the UEFA Cup.
But their strength is indeed a bit weak compared to Trapani. Galatasaray's home court is called the Devil's Home because the home team can often burst out with amazing energy amidst the cheers of the fans. This is the famous Devil's home stadium in Europe. Another negative fact is that Galatasaray's away record has never been very good in European games.
The Trapani Stadium with a capacity of only 20,000 people created a good momentum. Ranieri had no intention of being polite to Galatasaray in this game. He attacked the opponent at the beginning and Galatasaray quickly I couldn't stand it anymore and gave Trapani a penalty kick.
The next story is simple, 4:0, another bloodbath, Galatasaray caught up with an unfortunate stage, the best stage after Trapani's downturn.
After getting three points, Liverpool also won another game against Bordeaux. This game has completely determined the qualifying spots. Trapani and Liverpool qualified together, while Bordeaux and Galatasere can only compete for the UEFA Cup. quota.
The next game will be played on November 22, when Trapani goes to Anfield to challenge Liverpool. This game will most likely determine the top spot in the group.
After the game, Hugo invited the whole team to dinner.
"Our performance during this period has been great! Who would have thought that in such a bad state at the beginning of the season, we could actually qualify from the group two rounds in advance?!" Hugo said with a smile while holding a glass of wine.
None of the coaches and players below were dissatisfied, and they didn’t expect it to go so smoothly!
Hugo pointed the wine glass at the smiling Ranieri from a distance, "All this is thanks to Mr. Ranieri! His timely appearance saved the fate of our team! Mr. Ranieri, on behalf of the club's senior management, I would like to thank you Express thankfulness!"
"Abrahimović's upstart sacking you is blind!" Hugo gave Ranieri a thumbs up.
Ranieri was extremely proud, with a reserved smile on his face, and said to everyone: "Thank you Mr. Colaini! Thank you to the club's senior management for trusting me! Give trust to all the players on our team!"
"Achievements are inseparable from the hard work of the players. They are the protagonists! We train hard every day, and they quickly understand my tactical intentions. I feel very honored to be able to work with them! I have reason to believe that we can create Better results and qualifying from the group are not our ultimate goal. I have a Champions League dream and I believe we can achieve it if we work together!" Ranieri's speech was quite official.
But what does it matter, everyone loves to hear it!
There is no training for the next day. You must know that they will also face a derby opponent, Catania, on the weekend!
In the previous eight rounds, Trapani has already played derbies with Palermo and Messina, but not with Catania.
The Sicilian derby refers to Catania and Palermo, not Trapani and Catania. The hostile relationship between the two clubs is far less tense than the previous pair.
Hugo took Rinaldi to Grand Island on this day. It had been no more than a month. Adriano had been in Grand Island for a month. He was very well-behaved now. , Strictly follow Hugo's instructions to read and take notes. Hugo will receive Adriano's reading experience every week.
Hugo had the consciousness of being a teacher, and he wrote reply letters seriously every time.
Hugo couldn't guarantee whether Adriano had changed his mind, but Hugo shared many of his stories with Adriano. He told Adriano that people should have pursuits in life. You have to follow me. Since you want to be a team, you must be the best team. Since you have chosen to be a player, you must be the best player. You have never even won Mr. European Player or Mr. World Footballer once. , so proud!
If you get Mr. Any, you can hang out with Ronaldinho, I have no objection at all!
When he saw Adriano again, Hugo felt different. It was obvious that Adriano was much more honest and respectful to Hugo. Hugo looked at it with satisfaction.
"You look good now!" Hugo praised with a smile.
What a damn tall guy! Adriano cursed in his heart. He had read the book carefully, but this month made him think clearly. He would not admit defeat. Well, of course he still had to bow to Hugo now. Reading made him understand that he wanted to follow Hugo. Guo Dou is really as difficult as Rinaldi said.
What's more, what this bastard said is not entirely wrong. For example, it's okay to not be the first person in the world once.
"Thanks to the book you sent me! I understand a lot of truths! I have my responsibility, and you have yours! Each of us must bear our own responsibility!" Adriano laughed.
