Chapter 726: Competition Attitude

Hugo clearly didn't mean it, but it turned out to be a mess.

It seems that being selected for the national team is an honorable thing, but if you are not careful, you may get into trouble. Juventus has been in a bad situation since the fifth round, and injuries have gradually increased. Now after the national team match day, Juventus’ Injuries have further expanded. Juventus suffered a lot of injuries under Ranieri last season, and now there are even more.

Therefore, Juventus' results were also affected. They failed to win Fiorentina at home. As for Trapani, Bielsa actually changed his formation after the national team game. Unexpectedly, Trapani also returned They won the victory, beating Lazio 4:0 away from home and getting the three points they needed most.

During the intermission period of the national team, Trapani's coaching staff conducted in-depth research. Several assistant coaches on the coaching staff, including Barillas, Pochettino, and Bellizzo, were all supporters of the change of formation. Instead, Bale Sa was more hesitant, but the matter had reached a point where there was no need to delay. With so many assistant coaches holding the line, Bielsa had no choice but to compromise.

What's more, after he thought carefully, the change of formation was inevitable. Not to mention the performance issue, now even the issue of personnel appearance can make him anxious. Evra is not Louis or a young man like Boateng. He feels a little wronged. Just explain in a few sentences. He has his own status in the team and desires respect. Not letting him play is the biggest disrespect, because his strength is no problem.

If you really don't like him, then you shouldn't lie to him, you should let him go, and Xia Tian will let him stay far away.

In addition to Evra, Maggio, Behrami and others all have enough reasons to express dissatisfaction. Before the volcano of dissatisfaction among the players in the team occurs, changing the formation is definitely a very good choice.

Sure enough, this move not only appeased the players, but also the team seemed to return to a familiar track and won a "long-lost" victory.

However, in the next Coppa Italia game, Bielsa went back to his old ways and resorted to a 3-back formation. What he didn't expect was that the team actually lost the game, losing to Catania in Sicily in the first round. .

It seemed like an accident, but this result made Hugo very angry. He didn't think this upset should have happened. There was a big problem in it.

"Can't you see this?! They don't want to play Bielsa's tactics. There is a big problem with their attitude towards this game. I don't believe this is a coincidence!" Hugo was emotional while watching the game at home. I was very excited and complained angrily to my family.

Just after the game, Hugo called Bielsa but failed to get through.

Later, he called Miku again and said the same thing to Miku.

"No way?! Gigi, maybe you're overthinking it!" Miku didn't have much confidence when he answered Hugo's words. In this first round game, the players' performance was a bit weird, allowing the opponent to get it. Too much space and ball rights. Trapani is much stronger than Catania. This situation is very abnormal. Miku was watching the game at the scene. When Hugo mentioned this, he felt that it was completely true. possible.

It is no secret that many players on the team are dissatisfied with Bielsa's three-back formation. The loss made Hugo feel that it is normal for the players on this team to be passive and slow down.

Hugo not only told Miku that Bielsa would cancel the players' vacation for the next month, but he also did not intend to let the players go. In an exclusive interview with "L'Equipe" the next day, Hugo said in this media Start criticizing his players openly.

"I don't know what makes them lack motivation! The result against Catania is completely unacceptable to me! I also cannot accept their attitude towards this game! No matter who the coach is, they should not have to play The attitude of the game is to go to the court! I spent a lot of money to let them fight hard. Will they be worthy of their own fans? !

Bielsa is not without this feeling. It is said that he was also in a state of anger after the game. Hugo's current firing can actually reduce the pressure on him. After all, Hugo is taller.

Sometimes Bielsa is very strict, so Hugo's requirements are strictly implemented, but the players also have complaints in their hearts. Even if they had a problem with their attitude in the last game, but now facing Hugo's public accusations, who is willing to admit it? Woolen cloth? !

Captain Tony is the leader of the team. He will not be unaware of the players’ private complaints about Hugo’s public remarks. From his position, he wants to make things smooth between up and down. As Hugo’s old friend Tony was being interviewed When he said to Xini: "We performed poorly in the first round, but we still have a second round! In short, we will definitely pass smoothly! Gigi blames the team?! I think losing always makes everyone angry, Each of us is very angry. Gigi is not questioning everyone's attitude. He just wants to express his anger. This is not a bad thing for us. It is an encouragement. I believe that each of us is eager to be better! Show yourself well in this round!”

Tony's fight with the mud is very effective. Whether it is Hugo or the players, they will accept Tony's kindness. When Hugo called Tony, he laughed and said to Tony, "You just fight with the mud, and you will not perform well in the next game." , let’s see how you protect these bastards!”

The schedule is very tight now, Bielsa has increased the intensity of training on the training ground. As an alternative punishment, the players have to accept it, but the team's tactics Bielsa rarely uses three defenders as the main formation in training or in future games.

Sometimes he is also disappointed. Modern team management is getting harder and harder to manage. With the development of the Internet, well, the initiator is still Hugo. He is a promoter of social networks. Some players will put their dissatisfaction on the Internet, causing a lot of investigation.

…

The Champions League will soon usher in the third round of games. Although Trapani used a three-defender formation in the two previous Champions League games, the players did not dare to play with fire like in the league at that time. Such events are not only the top priority for Hugo and the fans, but also the top priority in their minds.

A small win over Marseille and a small win over Zurich earned them six points. Another giant team, Real Madrid, also won two consecutive games. They scored more goals than Trapani, which now makes them the top of the standings. The two sides ushered in back-to-back battles in the third and fourth rounds. In the first round, Trapani will challenge Real Madrid away, and in the fourth round, Real Madrid will challenge Trapani away in early November.

The most lively place this summer is La Liga. The two La Liga teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​have started a new round of arms race. The return of the old man to the Bernabeu means that the team will inevitably start to reshuffle, which is inevitable in this team because their football is more political.

In 2000, when Florentino took over Real Madrid for the first time, he changed the football transfer market in one fell swoop. Now, nine years later, he has completely changed the transfer market again, although many people believe that what Florentino did has a negative impact on world football.

No club has ever undertaken such an ambitious team reconstruction in a summer as boldly and profligately as Real Madrid; nor has any club ever spent 250 million euros in transfer fees in just two months. Now, without any reminder, all fans and readers will know how much Mr. Perez spent to get Ronaldo. But for Real Madrid fans, it doesn't matter how much money the club invested. What matters is that Florentino fulfilled his promise and brought more players than he had promised.
