Chapter 568: Force the Emperor to Abdicate

"First of all, congratulations to everyone. You have completed a great game! This is one of the greatest victories since our establishment. If we didn't have the strength to compete for the championship before, now I can think that we are fully capable of winning this event! I am very satisfied with you! So, Giorgio will give everyone a bonus of 2 million euros for this game!" Hugo praised everyone with satisfaction.

The players cheered and whistled. 2 million euros, a separate reward, is not a small amount.

"Haha, this is my characteristic. I will give bonuses if I don't agree with you! Don't worry about my money. Give me such an opportunity!" Hugo laughed and joked with everyone.

After laughing and joking with the players, Ranieri came back from the press conference and Hugo was waiting for him.

When the two of them got outside the player tunnel, Hugo asked Ranieri, "What do you think of the team's performance today?!"

"Very good! I like these guys! They held on! We got a draw, which is the result of our hard work! Mr. Colemani, what do you think?!" Ranieri laughed. Judging from the atmosphere in the locker room, Hugo was very happy, and Ranieri was also very happy.

"Ha, a very good performance! Mr. Ranieri, you are really shameless!" Hugo used a sarcastic tone!

Ranieri immediately realized that the boss was not satisfied, but boss, what are you dissatisfied with? Now we have eliminated Barcelona, ​​and now we are one step closer to the championship!

"Mr. Ranieri, I can't deny that you are a good coach, an excellent coach! But there is one thing you seem to have forgotten, how much money did I spend on this team?!" Hugo stared at Ranieri and said dissatisfiedly.

"Several hundred million, the current value of the players in this team is among the best in the entire world of football, but look at what data you gave me today, I spent so much money not for you to park the bus in front of the goal! If I want to park the bus, why don't I buy eleven goalkeepers?! Do you think I'm right?!" Hugo asked unhappily.

Yes, in fact, Laporta was successful. He successfully aroused Hugo's dissatisfaction, especially in front of his hometown folks, which made Hugo really feel embarrassed. After the whole game, Trapani's possession rate was only 26%, while Barcelona got a rare 74% possession rate.

With this possession rate comparison, Barcelona is not playing a Champions League level team. This is simply a friction with the relegation weak team in the league. Can Hugo be happy under Laporta's stimulation? ! No!

"I think our offense can be more beautiful!" Hugo left after saying this, leaving Ranieri standing there alone to savor it.

Is beautiful football important? ! Important, for the boss Hugo, he is eager not to be ridiculed by people like Laporta, this is very important.

But this is not so important to Ranieri, for him, the championship is important, now that he has such a good platform, Ranieri needs the championship, his coaching resume needs the embellishment of the championship, for a coach, without the embellishment of the championship, the probability of the giants throwing him an olive branch is quite low, for the old man Ranieri, he will not be unaware.

Zeman's offense is very beautiful, Trapani was an ordinary team a few years ago, didn't it let Zeman put it together, the offense is very good, but he didn't win the championship, it's not to Hugo's taste.

That Guidolin and Spalletti also have beautiful offenses, but they don't have championships, and they don't even have a resume of giants. There's no doubt that even Morek and Giorgio won't consider them. This is the reality of the coach.

Ranieri was the last one to board the team bus, but he had figured it out. He didn't need to listen to Hugo's orders. He wanted to fight for himself, not for Hugo. At this moment, he was extremely clear. I have an excellent record now. If I don't stay here, I will stay somewhere else. But if I only care about the head and not the butt, and the record is bad, it will be troublesome to find a job again.

If I am fired for good results, people will criticize Hugo for treating me unfairly. But if I am fired for poor results, public opinion will not be favorable to me, and I will have trouble finding a job again in the future!

The next day, Ranieri called a meeting of the coaching staff. This guy thought about it for a night and made a decision. He planned to tell the coaching staff what Hugo said yesterday.

When he came to Trapani, Ranieri did not find his old acquaintances to help him due to time constraints. He used Trapani's unique coaching team combination. In Serie A football, and even in Europe, Trapani's coaching team combination is very strange, because this team is directly signed with the club. Trapani's head coach has always been there regardless of whether he brings his own coaching team or not.

Fortunately, this team has a good reputation and cooperates well with every coach. After Ranieri came here, he was worried that there were no experienced players and it would be difficult to form unity within the coaching team, but the facts told him that his idea was redundant. The coach of this team was very obedient and followed the arrangements of the head coach, and there was no moth.

So Ranieri cooperated happily with everyone, and gradually he lost the interest in inviting his friends to come out. In general, Ranieri had a good relationship with everyone, and from time to time everyone could do some team-building activities together.

Ranieri wanted to put forward some opinions to Hugo through Barrias and others, to influence Hugo's idea of ​​wanting beautiful football and relieve his pressure.

"Did he really say that?!" Barrias asked unhappily after listening to Ranieri's description.

Ranieri didn't know who he was unhappy with, and said carefully: "Of course it was Mr. Colena who said that. Look, I'm looking for everyone to discuss and study it now! Mr. Colena's opinion is very important, we should listen to it, and I hope you can give me some ideas to improve the team!"

"What a mess! Gigi is messing around! The team's morale and results are good now, why is he saying this now?! For us now, winning the championship is the most important thing! Who cares about beauty or not!" Barrias sprayed Hugo angrily.

Well, only the old ministers of the club dared to spray Hugo like this, Ranieri didn't dare!

Ranieri was secretly happy, and his goal was achieved.

Lombardi, Giampaolo and others expressed their opinions. Obviously, they also didn't think the team needed any changes. They hoped to maintain Ranieri's tactical authority within the team, not Hugo's boss authority.

Only Nkono didn't say anything. As a coach, he has only done one thing in the past few years, which is to train Kameni. He has no intention of intervening in other things. It seems that this idol of Buffon will probably be content to be a goalkeeper coach in this life.

That night, Barrias and others made an appointment with Hugo to meet at Hugo's house. Hugo agreed. He really didn't know what these people wanted to find him for!

Barrias' tone was not stiff. He just told about what happened today. Ranieri asked everyone for advice. Hugo felt good listening to it. This old guy was still obedient, but the more he listened, the more he understood that Barrias and others hoped that he would take back his order.

"Michele, Andrea, Massimo, and Mr. Nkono! You know how much money we spent on this team. Tell me how bad it is against Barcelona. I never imagined that my team would be beaten at home!" Hugo was in a relatively calm mood at the beginning and reasoned with Barrias and others.

"Yes, it was a beating! Tell me, what is this?! I don't even take care of my own business. I come to watch a game just to see my team get beaten?!" Hugo became more and more unhappy as he spoke. He didn't want to recall the game scene that day. Except for Adriano's amazing world wave, there was nothing worth remembering.
