Chapter 563: Bad Character

The adjustments made by Rijkaard and Ranieri did not make the game exciting. Rijkaard had no intention of giving up the attack after Ranieri played Di Maria, but the effect was still poor.

Gudjohnsen is not much better than Saviola. The most important thing is Ronaldinho. He is always sluggish, which is quite nerve-wracking.

Laporta is obviously very disappointed with the team's downturn. The team may really need to change!

In the 78th minute, Barcelona suffered another blow. It was still a counterattack, and it was still Messi. This time he did not score, but he created a corner kick opportunity. Barcelona was not tight in marking and was not tall enough, and was blocked by Victor. The winning goal.

Rijkaard had a frosty look on his face. As expected, his team continued to slump. Rijkaard, who had been in a state of anxiety for a long time this season, couldn't help but feel frustrated. He muttered a few words angrily and sat back. In the coaching bench until the end of the game.

When the final whistle blew, Hugo and his family hugged each other, and Victor's mother screamed: "I knew Victor would be a great professional player when he was little! Look, look, everything I said was Verified!"

Okay, so this is the Italian version of the Legend of Chinese Emperors? !

"Auntie, when Victor was born, was the whole house full of sunshine?!" Hugo joked.

"No! What do you mean?!" Victor's mother was stunned and asked.

Hugo then told strange stories about Chinese emperors. Victor's mother still didn't understand that her nephew was making fun of her.

"I actually remembered it! The day Victor was born, it rained very hard!"

Hugo and Mom all laughed.

Barcelona's defeat at home confirmed the prediction before the game, and also illustrated another problem, Barcelona's problem, maybe they really have a hard time getting back this season.

Therefore, Rijkaard unfortunately encountered difficulties from many reporters at the post-match press conference.

"Mr. Rijkaard, now your team is at an absolute disadvantage in two rounds. Do you think your team will win the final promotion?! It seems difficult!" the Italian reporter asked.

"We still have the second round! Today's result cannot satisfy us. It feels bad to lose! You said that we are at a disadvantage now, and I admit it, but we will not give up. I still firmly believe that we have a chance!" Li Jie Calder said with difficulty.

The first question was mild, but the second one from a Spanish media reporter asked directly, "Do you think you will be fired after this game?!"

"I don't know! This is not the first time you have asked such a question. You ask it every day, but I am the one who answers you every day! I didn't get out of class! I don't know what the club thinks either!" Rijkaard replied angrily.

It is worth mentioning that reporters actually asked such a question to Ranieri, allowing the proud Ranieri to predict.

"I don't know! I think Mr. Rijkaard is a great coach, he has proven himself!" Ranieri will not make enemies, he is a good old man.

The matter of Klose was not mentioned at the press conference, because Klose was asked this question when he was interviewed on the court. Klose is very good at acting, and he pretended to be surprised and said: "I'm not happy. ? ! Why don’t I know? I feel sick to my stomach today!

Trapani returned to Sicily with a full load. The opponent was Barcelona, ​​the previous champion. It was not a cat or a dog. The team actually defeated them in an away game. It was difficult for the fans not to be excited.

More than two hundred fans greeted the triumphant Trapani players at the airport, and this victory seemed to give excitement to Italian football in the midst of chaos. The Italian media covered Trapani's victory overwhelmingly.

Several other teams in Italy were almost ignored by the Italian media. Of course, they were happy to be ignored by the media. After all, their results were not impressive. Except for Trapani, who got a clean victory in the away game, Inter Milan won 2 games at home. :2 drew with Valencia, Roma 0:0 Lyon at home, and Milan 0:0 Real Madrid away. None of the three teams won. Fortunately, they haven't lost yet.

It's no wonder that the media has shifted its focus to Trapani. The team has been praised by the media from top to bottom. Ranieri has received unprecedented popularity, which makes our old man feel a little elated.

Of course, he is an old revolutionary, and he still needs to be reserved, but Trapani's management is half-assed, and after defeating the powerful Barcelona, ​​they can't control their mouths so much.

First of all, Chairman Morek said happily during an interview: "We defeated the best team in the world, which proves that we are also the best team in the world. Now we have the advantage of two away goals. , I think we have advanced!”

Then Giorgio, an uncle who is already over 40 years old, also spoke loudly, "They didn't perform as well as us! I don't see how they are better than us! Being able to win proves that we are the best team in the world. We The ultimate goal for this season is the Champions League, and I think we have a great chance of winning it!”

Brothers, this is not how you lose your character!

Why are you so proud? ! There are still ninety minutes left!

This game brought Trapani too much joy, affecting not only a group of senior executives who were in a state of excitement, but also the players.

A proud army will be defeated before it is defeated. This saying is very suitable for Trapani!

A few days later, at the post-match press conference after the away challenge to Roma, Ranieri no longer had the spirit of a few days ago, because in this game, Trapani lost 0:3 very shamefully, which was also the worst loss of Trapani in the league this season.

On the other side, Inter Milan defeated Catania with a score of 5:2 at the Trapani Stadium, expanding the points between itself and Trapani to 7 points.

7 points!

Facing Inter Milan, which is in such an excellent state, it is not easy to make up in the remaining ten rounds of the league.

According to Trapani's prediction, there is a great probability that they will advance to the next round of the Champions League, and there will be a final in the Italian Cup. Then, with the make-up game in April, Trapani will have a very difficult schedule. Is there any hope? !

"We need to summarize this game. Roma is a great team and very strong, but we should all be ashamed of losing in this way!" Ranieri was very angry.

"You should keep your tail between your legs! What is bad character?! You are bad character! Let you show off! The responsibility of this failure should be put on your heads!" Hugo secretly rejoiced that he did not lose his character, and severely reprimanded his cousin and Giorgio.

Fortunately, Roma was an accident. Before the second round of the home game against Barcelona in early March, Trapani defeated Fiorentina and Parma in succession, and Inter Milan drew with Udinese, which allowed Trapani to narrow the score to 5 points.

The current top and second place in the standings are too fierce. After 26 rounds of the league, Trapani has 21 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses and 64 points, while Inter Milan has 69 points in the same rounds. There are still 12 rounds of the league. Everyone seems to have a chance. Even many media are wondering whether both teams will exceed 100 at the same time this season!

If Trapani wins the remaining 12 games, it will be exactly 100 points, and Inter Milan will be 105 points. This will be the most jaw-dropping scene in the history of Serie A.

Hugo doesn't believe this situation will happen. He has full confidence in his team, but Inter Milan, Hugo thinks they will not succeed. Before the match against Barcelona, ​​when reporters asked whether such a feat would be achieved, Hugo "looked down" on Inter Milan.

"They can't win the championship! They lack the heart of a champion! I firmly believe that we will still be the winners in the end this season!"
