24. Tactical Modifications
Say no holiday, no holiday, Udinese training as usual on the morning of the third day after the game, Hugo appeared on the training ground, to be honest, the team's will is a little depressed in the past two days, suffering heavy defeats one after another, and any player who is still a little ashamed will not be happy.
Hugo's face looked like it was back to normal, but the players still didn't dare to giggle in training anymore.
In the afternoon, the team still did not rest, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, in the tactical room of the training base, Trapani began the post-match summary of Udinese.
The post-match summary is held after each game, and the main purpose of such a meeting is to help everyone recognize their shortcomings and shortcomings in the game, improve them in training, and help everyone improve.
Being a manager is a hard job, and after each game, Hugo would spend a long time with the coaching staff, tirelessly watching the video, analysing the last game and then summing it up.
Let's give you a tactical lesson, in the tactical lesson, players who have opinions, you can still play, during the tenure of Trapani Hugo, this is very enlightened, and in some teams, the player's opinion is bullshit, the manager will not listen at all, if you don't meet my requirements, you will be defeated, you can only adapt to me.
However, Hugo, who is also the boss, certainly can't think so, he wants everyone to be able to play and grow in the team, and it is very necessary to listen to everyone's opinions.
'We have suffered a big blow in the last two games, we have lost three goals against Roma, five goals against Udinese, eight goals conceded in two games, we should be ashamed of that performance!
Hugo's opening remarks were still so harsh, and then he said: "I can't even sleep after losing, I drank a lot the night before yesterday and thought a lot about the game, and I am responsible for the team's performance in the last two games, but you are also responsible!" Maybe some of you think, "You should know very well what kind of characteristics I am, you should know how to use me!" "I should bear the responsibility!"
"People who think like that, I want to tell you, who do you think you are?! You can't even meet the requirements of a relegation team, you can only be a piece of waste wood! Slowly we will see the signs of this, and I can tell you that you will stay here better than dead! If you want to earn my respect, you must first respect your profession! I'm not talking about professional ethics today, what is professional ethics, I think you know very well! ”
The opening statement was very harsh, Allegri, as an assistant coach, began to play the slides and began to summarize the gains and losses against Roma and Udinese, Hugo interjected from time to time, and almost every player he and the coaching staff made a detailed analysis.
After the match with Roma, I didn't have time to make a post-match summary due to time constraints, but today I did it together twice, which lasted for a long time, and it took more than 3 hours to throw out the break in the middle.
In the evening, it didn't stop, and it took another hour to explain the new formation and new tactics to everyone, it is necessary to talk on paper, and then the coaching staff will adjust it according to the situation during the training, in short, the formation is like this.
Hugo's personal tendency has always been to bias the two full-backs towards attack, in his mind Evra and Maggio are the most suitable candidates, Grosso and Peruso are not impossible to play, but the position of Ribery and Mascara has become extremely delicate.
Ribery complained in his heart, his defensive ability is basically equal to zero, who will not grab the ball, before Trapani has been taking a high pressing strategy, Ribery's task is to grab the ball in front of him, forcing the opponent to play the ball quickly, this thing is something that everyone will do, but now the position of the full-back needs a good sense of defense, this awareness is not so simple as it sounds, the situation on the field in the game is very complicated, not everyone remembers that there is a gap behind me, always keep focus, You also can't always expect teammates to help you with your defense.
This awareness is not something that can be cultivated simply, it requires continuous game accumulation, and as an attacking wing-back, no one wants to have too much defensive burden on themselves, which means being distracted and not being able to play to their strengths in attack.
"The full-backs are our most important part and I ask you wide players to learn how to adapt to the current style of play! No one is an exception, no one can expect anything special from me! Hugo swore in his tactical class in the evening.
But I don't think so, people are always different, the type of player can't be forced, it is quite unrealistic to force the attacking winger Ribery to become a defensive player with good consciousness and ability, and for example, let Mascherano play as a striker, Hugo dares to guarantee that no matter how much he practices, it is average, and the feeling in front of goal is a talent!
He estimated that when the time comes, the personnel allocation of the wings can be constantly adjusted according to the characteristics of the opponent, and it is not necessary to have a defensive sense of fullback, and it is not bad to attack and attack when encountering weak opponents.
The formation tactics have been decided, and the team began to practice new tactics the next day, Hugo regretted it again during this time, in the summer, there was actually room for operation, but unfortunately he was too careless, too much trust in the ability of these guys, and as a result, the formation was well run-in, missing a person, and then fell apart, and had to change the formation as a price.
In the last game against Udinese, David. Pizarro impressed Hugo so much that he wanted to bring him in, and when he told Cellly about the idea, Selly said, "It's too early!" After watching the game, I have already paid attention to him, and it is said that he is talking to Udinese about renewing his contract! I think Gino. Is Pozzo trying to sell Pizarro because of the renewal of his contract? ”
If there is such a situation, it is good to wait, and you can bargain.
Selly guessed eight or nine is not far from ten, Pizarro sat in the main position in Udinese last season, this player actually arrived at Udinese when he was very young, and has never played in the main position, Hodgson changed to a back midfielder when he was in power, Pizarro gradually became famous, and Pizarro only successfully counterattacked last season under Spalletti and became the main force.
Scored 7 goals and 6 assists in one season, which is already very good in Serie A, and then what is his annual salary?! The tax is only 300,000 yuan, which is certainly not satisfactory to the player himself, and it is normal to ask for salary in the new season.
Gino. Pozzo is definitely a guy who picks the door, he is definitely not willing to pay a high price, this is what Selly said, and so on, Trapani still has a bad trick to use on the surface, to seduce Pizarro clearly, as long as he expresses his interest in Pizarro in public, Pizarro will definitely rely on Trapani's interest, open his mouth to the Udinese lion, catalyze the rupture of the relationship between Udinese and Pizarro, and then reduce the price and sign Pizarro, but this thing is too inauthentic, after all, everyone has just eaten together, Pozzo was also kind enough to recommend Pizarro.
Since Pozzo has recommended Pizarro to Hugo, which proves that the contract renewal problem may really exist, and Pozzo already has the intention of selling Pizarro, so why should Trapani offend people, and have to express his interest in Pizarro in public.
Just wait slowly, there is a high probability that the contract renewal negotiations between Udinese and Pizarro will not be successful.
It's still very early before the winter break, and it's not in a hurry, Hugo doesn't care, but this time he emphasized to Selly that Pizarro has to win, and it is not for nothing that Guardiola was abandoned by Barcelona, as he gets older, Guardiola's injuries have increased, and his level is also declining, and he was absent for a long time due to injury when he joined Roma last season, which is part of the reason why he failed to gain a foothold in Rome, and in the second half of the season Trapani actually did not play a few times.
This season, it is clear that the midfield has been built around him and Miku, but after a few games, he was injured in training, which led to Hugo's tactical failures and successive heavy defeats, and the devil knows how long this guy can last and how many games he can play this season.
Fortunately, this is the national team break, Trapani still has a relatively ample time for the players to adapt to the new system, and the coaching staff is constantly adjusting, unlike Zeman who loves to rotate, Hugo does not rotate much, he first has to determine the team's starting lineup.
As the game against Juventus approached, Hugo and the coaching staff already had a rough plan in mind.
On the afternoon of October 17, Trapani held a pre-match press conference at the Pacheco training base, and Hugo finally appeared at the pre-match press conference this time.
The reporter called the uncrowned king is not for nothing, Hugo just quarreled with the reporter some time ago, but what is this, there are still reporters at the pre-game press conference to make Hugo difficult, what are you afraid of?! Everyone is not afraid!
Everyone knows that Hugo's background is not simple, but what does it matter, he never dares to kill people blatantly, right?!
"Mr. Coleni, after two heavy defeats, we all want to know, will you let yourself out of class?!" A reporter asked.
"Class?! You're kidding?! This team is mine, and I can do it whenever I want! If you say that, tomorrow there will be an official statement from the team, and I will be the official head coach of Trapani! Hugo didn't go crazy, his expression was quite calm, what can you do with me?!
