99 wants to change the commander
While the Italian media was focusing on Zeman's dismissal, the team's owner, Hugo, disappeared again, to be precise, in the world of football, he was still in Italy, but he was busy with his business and did not want to say anything about Trapani.
"I'm not going to sell the team!" This is what Hugo has often said during this time, "I don't talk about the team, I don't put pressure on anyone!" ”
Hugo thought about it for a long time, he wanted to change the coach, but he didn't tell anyone that changing the coach at this stage is not a good decision, he plans to wait, wait for next season, in view of Trapani's poor performance in the Champions League, Hugo is more and more superstitious about a saying in the football world, Zeman leads the team to play in the European league is not good, for the European League Hugo feels that the change of coach is necessary.
Hugo doesn't care about everything, he is busy with business, in fact, he is busy with the listing of video sites, the time has come, it's time to go public, and when the right stage next year, Hugo will sell this site as a whole, this is his plan, he wants to start the construction of a new stadium, which is the cornerstone of Trapani's future, it's time to go online.
In November, Trapani held a shareholders' meeting, and Alessandro Lee, who had been promoted to monopoly, held a general meeting of shareholders. With the support of Hugo and Victor, Morek was elected as the new president of Trapani, and Morek officially took office.
This signal made many media people think that Hugo would sell the team, which is the background of Hugo's words in an interview.
After Morek took office, Hugo went less to watch the game and more to take care of his own business, and he did not seem to trust Hugo, the new CEO of the investment company.
In December, Trapani regained his sense in the league since the game where he was ordered by Hugo, and the team's results were quite good, but in the Champions League, Trapani continued his poor form, and he had the upper hand in the game against Werder Bremen but could not score, and he lost this crucial game against Anderlecht Trapani.
After six rounds of the group stage, Trapani only got three draws, lost to every opponent in the same group and drew with every opponent, only three points, Anderlecht snatched the Europa League knockout qualifier with a victory over Trapani, Trapani had no choice but to say goodbye to the European stage.
Trapani is the worst Italian team in the Champions League, and there is no worse team to go out of the game.
The voices denounced Trapani were loud, as were the voices denouncing Zeman.
Zeman was also very guilty, he had hoped very much to lead the team to achieve something, but the reality was cruel, he failed to achieve his goal.
At the end of the final group game, Zeman took all the blame for the team's disastrous elimination on his own shoulders, and he blocked all the criticism from the players.
But even this is not enough, the media is criticizing him, and under the guidance of the media, the fans have gradually voiced some voices against him, even if Hugo said that we will be difficult in the new season, but the fans have great expectations, Zeman failed to meet everyone's expectations, and it is not surprising that he was dismissed.
Rumors also began in the media that Trapani was in contact with other coaches, with Trapani general manager Giorgio refuting the rumors: "Zeman's position is solid, we are not the kind of team that likes to change coaches at will!" A consistent coach leads to consistent results, you see we are third in the league, there is no reason to sack Zeman! ”
Trapani's chairman, Morek, also said that we are very close to Mr. Zeman, and we will accept this result and will not fire him.
No matter how Trapani refutes the rumors, there is one thing that gives the media a handle, the paparazzi photographed Hugo and Monaco coach Deschamps actually eating together, which has to be reminiscent of a lot.
"You're really going to meet Deschamps?!" Trapani president Morek felt that nine times out of ten, after Trapani was eliminated from the Champions League, Hugo told his cousin a topic: "Zeman is unlucky, he doesn't have a European life!" ”。
"Ah, it's true! I did have dinner with Deschamps! I'll tell you, he's a fantastic guy, he did a great job leading Monaco last season, isn't he?! Juventus are also interested in him, it's just that his old club is too conservative and doesn't like his style, I think his style suits us well and I want to invite him! Hugo replied.
"But what about Zeman?!"
"Zeman was a mistake, I shouldn't have let him come back, why don't we choose Prandelli, why don't we choose Deschamps?! What a mistake! Hugo regretted his original decision, in the end, he was out of the game, he obviously said it well, and he wouldn't take it to heart until Hugo still couldn't help but complain about Zeman, it would be impossible for me to be so bad, right?!
"Ahem, I have to remind you that he has more than two years left on his contract and now the team is third in Serie A, except for a little worse in the Champions League, he is still doing well in the league and I think he will definitely do better next year." Morek reminded Hugo that the termination fee is not low.
"I'll keep him until the end of the season, I want a coach who can attack more than just attack, Didier Deschamps is a good choice!" Hugo really took a fancy to Deschamps.
Since he gave Zeman time to continue his life, Hugo sat and watched the situation, waiting for Zeman to draw Valencia, and from that day on, he decided to replace Zeman, and finally he didn't even qualify for the Europa League knockout round to strengthen his determination, but he really didn't want to change the coach halfway, mainly who to find to make up for it?!
He remembered what the reporters had mentioned about Deschamps, so he really went to Monaco, really invited Deschamps to talk, it was a private meeting, only Hugo and Lu Fan and Deschamps and his agent, Hugo and Deschamps talked a lot, Hugo and Deschamps talked a lot, Hugo appreciated some of Deschamps' views, he felt that Deschamps was not the kind of attacking madman, not top-heavy like Zeman, blindly pursuing attacks.
Given Didier Deschamps' good form in the Champions League, Hugo feels that perhaps Deschamps' arrival will be of great benefit to Trapani's performance in Europe.
So at that time, Hugo expressed his intention and gave Deschamps a big bargaining chip, he was willing to provide Deschamps with a two-year contract with an annual salary of 3 million after tax.
However, Deschamps said that he needs time to think about it, one of which is that Trapani is not famous, their European results this season are not only the laughing stock of Italy, but also many European media are quite ridiculed about Trapani's results, they can't even deal with Anderlecht, it is really embarrassing, and Trapani has no background, Deschamps's idea is still to hope that he can go to a big club to coach, and Trapani is obviously not.
Second, Hugo made it clear that we are not rich, and you may not get more than 100 million transfer support when you come, of course, Hugo also said that we have a lot of young people, and the future of the team is ambitious.
Hugo just didn't expect the burden of celebrities, and he was targeted everywhere he went, maybe he could only get better by going to China.
In the face of Moreke's inquiry, Hugo simply said bluntly, people from the outside world did not know that Hugo was not the chairman anymore, but the power of the club was still his, and he was not the chairman just because he did not have much time to spend on the team.
"I'll talk to Zeman! I think he himself can understand! Hugo said
"You're talking to him now?!"
"No, no, I'm going to talk to him at the end of the season." Now who knows if the old man will pick a pick, in case he resigns in a fit of rage, well, it's over, who to go to?! Is it impossible to give up the advantages established in the first half?
The despicable Hugo felt deceived by Zeman, and in a subsequent interview he finally talked about Deschamps, we were just having a meal, it was a chance encounter, it was really a chance encounter I didn't plan to fire Mr. Zeman, he did a good job, didn't he?!
