Chapter 270: Winning the Championship 1

But the real battle to decide the championship is the final round, if Trapani loses and Sampdoria wins, then the 2002-2003 Serie B will go to Sampdoria, and if anything else, the league will be Trapani's.

However, Trapani is finally back in a good position, Hugo watched the game against Siena away from home, and after the game he made a special phone call to Messina's boss Franza, saying that he must treat him to a meal to express his gratitude.

Of course, Hugo also had to thank Trapani's Diamanti, who scored for Messina, and it was the youngster's goal that led to Sampdoria's equaliser.

Messina actually needs this draw very much, with this draw, they completely ensure that they are not relegated, this season the competition in Serie B is very fierce, Messina also had a chance to get closer to the promotion zone, but they are also unstable, so they fell off the chain at the end of the game, and there is no way to complete the promotion task.

On the evening of June 7th, the final round of the league was played at the same time, and Trapani's last opponent was very ideal, Salernitana, a small team in the city of Salerno in the Campania region, which is not strong enough overall, having won only four games so far this season, and they have not won a single game away from home, and now they have only 23 points, which is a terrible situation.

Trapani basically confirmed the promotion place in the 35th round, Trapani city has fallen into a state of madness, this is the first time in the history of Trapani to promote to the Italian top league, of course, not only the fans of Trapani province, Sicily fans are also happy, in the past 3 years, there is finally another Sicilian team on the stage of the top league.

Of the four Serie B teams in Sicily this season, Trapani is the best performer, the other teams are worse, Palermo and Messina are now relegated without worries, and there is no hope of promotion, while Catania is deep in the relegation zone, currently ranked 17th, Serie B is four promotions and four relegations, Catania is just on the verge of relegation, and the current situation is that they still have hope to break through in the last round, if Napoli and Verona, who are ranked before them, can't win, then Catania wins, Then they may escape the doom, and the final round will be a life-and-death battle for Catania.

The Barbera Stadium is full today, the Trapani club has made full preparations for today's game, prepared a lot of props, and let the fans cheer for the team, Hugo has always cared not so much about the fans, but now he has changed his sex, the Trapani club has negotiated with the Palermo City Hall and the Trapani City Hall, after the success of this promotion, whether it is a champion or not, Trapani will hold a grand celebration in both cities.

Trapani is not a Palermo team at all, but Hugo is doing this, the purpose is to press Palermo, to develop fans in the Palermo region, and he often says now: "We Trapani are from the province of Trapani, but we are also a team that belongs to Palermo, and our achievements do not only belong to Trapani and Palermo, but also belong to Sicily!" ”

Of course, the Palermo club did not want to see Trapani come with him to seize the fan market, but he was helpless about Trapani's actions, and Zamparini could only secretly scold Hugo for being shameless.

Palermo City Hall of course welcomes Trapani, they have always had a good relationship with Hugo, after all, one more Serie A team is also part of Palermo's cultural and sports undertakings, so Trapani's request Palermo City Hall has no idea of refusal at all, speaking of which, Hugo's Sicilian identity has won a lot of goodwill.

More than half of the fans who came to the Barbera Stadium today were fans from the Palermo area.

Since the belonging of the Serie B champion is to be known in this round, the Italian Football Federation and the professional league also have to send people to watch Trapani's game, the level of Serie B is not very important, Bari's president, the vice president of the professional league Matarese volunteered to come to Trapani, he brought the Serie B championship trophy, because Trapani occupies a priority position, so the trophy brought by Matarese is real, and the trophy at Sampdoria's home stadium is fake.

Hugo invited a lot of people to watch the game today, the management of the club is a must, Hugo's family, the company's top management, and some local Sicilian politicians, such as the mayor of Palermo, the mayor of Trapani, etc.

Hugo was busy in the VIP room, Julia. Bonaparte, as his female companion, has been greeting people with Hugo, greeting each other, and his face is almost stiff with laughter.

Finally, the game is almost starting, everyone came to the stands outside, today Salernitana's owner did not even show his face, Hugo heard that Salernitana is in debt and will soon go bankrupt, which can explain why, why their results are so bad, not every team is Lazio, not every team has Mancini.

Trapani's players stood on the field, the fact that every player standing here is not at peace, Toni waited in Trapani for 4 years, when he joined Trapani, he believed Hugo's words, Hugo really said to do, now Trapani has completed the miracle of four consecutive jumps in four years, maybe no team in Italian football can do better than them.

There are a lot of lads in the team, many of them have been here since three years ago, they have given a lot to this team, and now they have grown with the team and witnessed the promotion process together, and they are also excited.

With the referee's whistle, Trapani's players barely managed to concentrate on the game.

Barbera Stadium is full of Trapani fans, the away team's fan zone, Trapani only gave Salernitana 500 seats, these 500 seats are empty, Salernitana is not good, although it is not as far from Sicily as the north, but the fans are definitely not interested in this game, it is normal that there is no one, there are some Trapani fans outside the stadium who did not buy tickets, and then the game began, and the stadium put some fans into the stadium.

The entire Barbera Stadium began cheering on Trapani's players as soon as kick-off, and the momentum was astonishing.

Trapani, who was a little nervous, was still a little restrained after the start, and there were a lot of mistakes in passing and receiving, but the opponent's strength was really limited, you must know that Salernitana was the least goal-scoring in the entire Serie B, and at the same time conceded the most goals, the coach has changed two, but there is no improvement, in the face of Trapani's mistakes, they have not been able to seize the opportunity, delay the opportunity, and it looks really passable.

After playing for more than ten minutes, Trapani's players finally put their minds at ease, and the team began to have the right attitude, Salernitana adopted a relatively conservative strategy from the first minute of the game, and at this time Trapani's form came out, and Salernitana basically cowered near the penalty area to defend.

But this can't resist Trapani, in the 17th minute, Trapani knocked on the door of Salernitana, Pepe broke through the side to cut the ball to the edge of the penalty area, inserted Miku in the big penalty area easily pushed, the ball penetrated the crotch of the opponent's defender, caught the Salernitana goalkeeper off guard, and helped Trapani lead the opponent 1:0!

The Barbera Stadium suddenly erupted in shocking cheers, Hugo and the people around him high-fived each other, Matarese smiled: "It seems that this championship is yours, look at Salernitana has no fighting spirit at all, it's strange not to lose!" ”

"The Serie B championship doesn't mean much, as long as the team can be promoted, my requirements are not high!" Hugo smiled, he also visited the players before the game, he told everyone that this game doesn't matter, anyway, they all got the promotion places, the intention is just to relieve the pressure on everyone, not to say that he doesn't want the Serie B championship, after all, this championship is within reach, and it is the most valuable championship in Trapani's century-old history.

After the goal, Trapani continued to attack the opponent and had no intention of letting go, while Salernitana continued to insist on defending, and their defense looked decent as before, but there were still a lot of holes.

Whether the details on the field can be done well depends on the players, maybe Salernitana's head coach has a good idea, but his players have not been able to implement his tactics well, on the one hand, the players' ability is really limited, taking care of one or the other, on the other hand, the players have inertia on the field, lose their fighting spirit, Trapani is easy to make them out of position if they are a little change and tear, and their sense of filling is extremely poor, to put it bluntly, they are lazy.

In the 28th and 38th minutes, Toney opened the bow with his left and right feet, shot one after another in the penalty area, and scored two goals in a row, allowing Trapani to completely seal the victory.

The game was completely out of sight, the key was to see how many questions could be scored, and the manager of Salernitana sat silently in the dugout on the sidelines, helplessly watching the players of Trapani celebrate.
