Chapter 871 Two Bad Rounds

There are two derbies in Sicily, one between Palermo and Trapani, and the other between Palermo and Catania.

Trapani is the most powerful team on the island in terms of fame and strength, but the atmosphere between them and Catania is really not comparable to the match between Palermo and Catania. Of course, the necessary atmosphere is still there. Catania was an elevator in the first two years. Last season, they barely avoided relegation in the Italian Super League. There are not many opportunities to play against Trapani.

Therefore, although Trapani's stars went to Catania and were enthusiastically welcomed by local fans outside the stadium, it was a different scene inside the stadium. I felt that these fans had severe schizophrenia. Ni's stars have no good looks at all.

In the cheers of the home fans, the Catania players worked hard on the court like chicken blood. Montella adopted the same strategy as other teams in this game, that is, defensive counterattack. Ideologically speaking, he is a head coach who tends to attack, but today is an exception. Fiorentina gave him a good inspiration, and Messi, the leader of Trapani's team, is absent.

The crazy press in the midfield made Trapani a little passive on the scene. The impact of the national team match day is still relatively large. Kaka was re-listed for the Brazilian national team with his outstanding performance last season. After this long journey, I feel that The legs are full of lead, and the play is terrible.

In the first half, Trapani didn't even create a few chances to shoot. Instead, Catania used his targeted counterattack to pose several threats to Trapani, and in the 44th minute, the first half Near the end, Kameni broke through the door handle.

Catania's threat is not too big. The goal itself came from Trapani's own mistakes, and it was also Kameni's mistakes. Kameni, who was trying to counterattack quickly, and full-back Coleman No tacit understanding was formed, a big joke was made directly, the ball was thrown at the Catania player's feet, and then a goal was formed.

Standing on the sidelines, Wenger almost wanted to die. As the captain, Kameni made a big mistake. This mistake also reflected the impatience of Trapani's players on the field.

During the intermission, Wenger warned everyone to be calm and play according to the rules during training. At the beginning of the second half, everyone followed his instructions. The team's situation improved a lot, but they just couldn't score. La Catania has a very tight defensive organization. They are leading for the time being, and they are not in a hurry to launch a counterattack after getting the ball. Trapani still has a feeling of worrying about gains and losses, and the high position is not tight.

After delaying for a while, the team was still unable to score a goal. They became impatient again and began to rush forward again. Indeed, the strong pressure put a lot of pressure on Catania. The key is that Catania's gate is crumbling but it will not fall. , making people helpless.

In the 81st minute, Catania took a corner kick and the referee whistled Boateng for a handball foul. Catania made a penalty kick and Trapani trailed 0:2 away.

Wenger was ashamed, Catania was considered a weak team, and there was not much hatred between this team and Trapani. They played perfectly, but Trapani's ability to seize opportunities was not reflected. Cavani failed to score an empty goal, and Aguero also missed opportunities. It seems that without Messi, Trapani can still find opportunities, but All this may have to be attributed to Messi's dependence.

Towards the end, Kaka helped the team regain a victory, but it was too late by then, and it was of no use. In the end, Trapani won the first defeat of the new season in the second round.

Hugo has repeatedly claimed that Wenger has no worries about the coaching position, and the reporters are too lazy to discuss the issue of Wenger's dismissal, and will only conduct private groundless speculation and obscenity. What is on the table is the official game of Trapani's new season Bad record, has already lost the Italian Super Cup and the second round of the league.

"Leo is definitely an important member for us, and I will not deny the negative impact of his absence on our game! But I think the team does not have Messi dependence, this statement is a bit ridiculous, We are a team, last season there were games where Leo didn't play, but we still won! Now that Leo is injured, we can do it too!"

"Our preparations this summer are not very smooth, and we still need more time. I believe that as the season progresses, we will definitely get better and better. We are still one of the strong contenders for the championship!"

Naturally, Wenger would not admit the so-called "Messi dependence" after the game.

Wenger has never believed that without Messi Trapani, it is not a favorite for the championship. He knows that these players are very good, but the start of the new season is still a bit difficult. But time is running out, Trapani will soon usher in the first group match of the Champions League.

Catania is like a festival here, and Pulvellenti has to face the media to be complacent, "We have made targeted reinforcements this summer, Montella is a good coach, I am very optimistic about him, defeating Tetra. Rapani is better than sex!"

"This guy is too smug!" Hugo threw away the newspaper in his hand and laughed at Pulverenti.

Pulvirenti is a person with no big ambitions. He doesn't care much about his club. Of course, he absolutely doesn't want to see Catania relegated. The reason why he has a good relationship with Hugo is that Hugo gave him face. Hugo took care of his business, Purvelenti's airline became a sponsor of Trapani, and Purvelenti's business went from strength to strength.

Naturally, Hugo would not pay attention to Pulverenti's momentary complacency. He is not the kind of talker he was back then. When a person reaches a certain level, the situation is different. This is true for many people .

After the game against Catania, the media and public opinion began to "worry" about Trapani. Now that the Internet is so developed, it is obviously impossible for Trapani's players to hide their ears. Hugo is worried that the team will be affected. In the new season, the team only scored one point in the league and ranked 15th. This is not a big deal in itself, after all, there are only two rounds, but the media with good things criticized Trapani not far from the relegation zone, as if Trapani Pani is really about to fall into the abyss.

In this context, Hugo, who has no time to watch the away game, specially visited the team again before the Champions League.

Hugo didn't want the outside world to see him go to the training ground, so today's originally scheduled public training has also become a closed training. Before going to the training ground, Hugo was very interested and visited the team's psychologist. He wanted to Find out about the psychological condition of the team. Out of professional habits, the beautiful psychiatrist Elena Marino did not introduce the situation of the players who came to consult her in detail, but talked about the situation of the team in general.

According to Elena's judgment, she feels that the players may be slack after consecutive successes, and it's normal to be slack after the holidays, but it's not enough for the team to slack off as a whole. Elena and the team's captain Tony talked about that the current mental state of the team is gradually improving. As the season progresses, the situation will get better and better, and the players' strings will naturally be tightened.

Elena is a professional. She has served many athletes. This is also the key condition for her to be invited by Trapani. Although she has not been involved in the football field much, Hugo still agrees with her analysis and explanation. She praised her work and praised her efforts when she parted.
