Klose's arrival has increased the strength of the forward line, some people are happy and some are worried, but Hugo spoke early in training, "I don't choose players based on your transfer fees, I look at your performance in training, attitude determines everything, there is nothing without professional attitude!" ”

Everyone knows it's a lie, but it still calms everyone's mind somewhat.

After buying Klose, Hugo felt like the brakes, and overturned the idea of bringing in some experienced players before the season, and there are two veterans in the squad, Miku and Pep Guardiola.

During the training, Hugo felt that the young people of the team were working hard and had new ideas in their hearts, so why not give them more opportunities?! Spend a lot of money to bring in players, and then it's impossible to let the comer play as a substitute, right?! These young people still need space!

After making up his mind, Hugo told Sailly his thoughts, but Selly was still worried, and Hugo said: "I pity these young people, if they are not given a chance, they will probably be abolished!" I'm a football-loving person, you all think I'm messing around, but I want to say I'm not, I want to be able to develop more talent! I used to tell Mazzar and Zeman to give more opportunities to young people, but now that I'm here, how can I always buy people to increase the strength of the team?! ”

"No matter what, it's a big deal to start all over again next season, I don't regret making the decision!"

"Keep the existing players, our transfer door is closed!"

Hugo made up his mind.

In the summer training camp, Trapani maintained two training sessions a day, one training session in the morning and one training session in the afternoon.

In the morning, physical training is the mainstay, and in the afternoon there are sometimes tactical classes, and Hugo has stated earlier that once his tactics are determined, no one can only implement them, and they cannot object.

Hugo is no longer the same as the last time he was a manager, this time he is very serious, and he tirelessly preaches his tactical philosophy in tactical class, and his core ideas inherit some of Zeman's ideas but also have many changes.

Zeman has always tried to get his team to control the tempo, but many of the teams he leads don't have that kind of rhythm master, and he has been trying to develop Miku to be such a player since Miku arrived, but Miku has been adapting for a long time to find the feeling, and Guardiola is here again.

Hugo continues this thinking, Miku and Pep Guardiola have found some resonance towards the end of last season, and Hugo needs them to continue this attitude.

The two of them are responsible for the midfield of the team, keeping the team's tempo under control.

The position of the back waist needs to have a good sense of cooperation when the team controls the ball, and can form a tacit understanding with Miku and Guardiola, assume the role of protecting the tandem, and do not need to go too deep when attacking, Trapani's attack will not completely rely on the middle, on the contrary, the side is the top priority, Hugo advocates the active interception of the back when defending, rather than simply relying on the defensive position to defend, which is very different from Italy's defense, which can be said to be contrary to the opposite.

The position of the two central defenders should also be pressed, and the midfielders should maintain a good distance to form protection, and the responsibility is also to be proactive in defense, rather than a passive defensive attitude.

Full-backs are one of the most important aspects of Hugo's tactical thinking, they need to be able to go up and down, they can quickly put pressure on the opponent, when the wingers swim into the penalty area, they are responsible for passing the ball on the wing, and the defense retreats to the position to stop the opponent's wing attack.

Up front, winger Franck Ribery's task is to break through, deliberately disrupt the opposition's defence, and then wait for an opportunity to send the ball to the penalty area or pull the opposition defence before handing it over to Miku.

Klose is more important as a winger who relies on his good movement, plays as an active striker, plays as an opportunistic scorer, and can also pull the ball off the side if he can.

That's the general idea, Hugo wants his team to show control and change the tempo to give the opponent a fatal blow.

He and everyone on the coaching staff have little experience, and they pay more attention to the offensive side, but for defense, they are not sure how many points they can score in actual battles after training, and Hugo asked Victor this question.

Victor smiled: "What are you afraid of, when the time comes, with the deepening of the game, everyone's experience will naturally be rich, the key is that no matter how much the team's morale loses, everyone's morale can't fall, otherwise it will be really difficult to return!" ”

Victor himself is still very optimistic, he can foresee that maybe Trapani will be a hit at the beginning, because it sounds like Hugo's attack is varied and insightful, but it may also encounter difficulties, the main problem is to focus on the defensive side, Trapani adopts a proactive defensive posture, then the quality of the defenders is very high, Victor is not sure whether the team can adapt to the impact of Serie A strikers.

During this time, Hugo still won the favor of the players with his hard work, although everyone still has a lot of distrust, but the diligent attitude makes everyone willing to give it a try, at least Hugo's tactical preparation is sufficient, and the explanation to everyone is quite organized.

There were four teams promoted from Serie B to Serie A last season, Trapani, Sampdoria, Siena and Lecce, and it stands to reason that there should be four relegated teams, but something unexpected happened, Catania successfully appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in mid-July, and the court actually ruled in favor of Catania's appeal, and they should get three points.

The current situation is that the verdict of the court and the Football Association are completely opposite results, Siena does not care about these three points, anyway, they can still be promoted without these three points, but Catania is in dire need of these three points, in the last round of the league last season they failed to achieve the desired results, reduced to 16th place in the league, which is to be relegated, plus these three points they can go ashore successful.

But in this way, several other relegated teams are not happy, the bosses behind the teams in Italian football are a lot unruly, the Football Association and the professional league let the giants control them to get by, anyway, they don't want to compete for the championship, but once it involves their own practical interests, it will be different, the reason why Hugo was successful last time was because everyone's interests were the same, of course the small team would jump out, this time it was the same, not only Venice jumped, but Genoa, Cosenza, Salernitana behind him also jumped together.

It is not easy to deal with this matter, the Football Association's handling is internal, not to mention and backtracking, but according to the arbitration tribunal, the prestige of the Football Association will be greatly damaged, which is a shame anyway, but the problem has to be solved.

Hugo waited until the media announced that Catania had won the case before he remembered about it, and his head was thinking about what to do in Trapani's favor!

Come to think of it, this matter really has nothing to do with Trapani!

One day Hugo and Allegri discussed the team schedule, the professional league has not yet announced the schedule of the new season of Serie A, Allegri asked Hugo if he could do some work to let the professional league arrange the early schedule of Trapani a little easier, the main purpose is to avoid the strong team, first arrange a few weaker teams, first easy and then difficult.

In fact, every promoted horse thinks so, don't fucking encounter tough battles one after another at the beginning, it's very fatal, and if you don't do it, Trapani can't hold her head up.

"I'll go find Galliani, he should have done it for me!" Hugo said confidently.

"It's a pity that there are only 34 rounds in Serie A, and if there are 20 teams, there are 38 rounds, so our margin for error is much higher, and we are easy to correct! Now it's only 34 rounds and we have to be mentally ready to deal with it, if we make a little mistake, we can fail! Allegri said wistfully.

Hugo's eyes lit up, how did I not pay attention to this problem!

Allegri reminded Hugo that the increase in the team is good for Trapani, or it is very good for the weak team, first of all, Allegri said that the schedule is longer even if it is only four rounds, and it also gives the weak team a buffer time, lest the weak team just adapt to the rhythm of Serie A, and the team is already relegated!

Secondly, more fixtures have a great impact on the upstream teams, with four more rounds, each season is so long, the schedule is very dense for the strong teams, which is not conducive to their recovery, and it is difficult to ensure the continued state of this season, which is a good thing for the weak teams.

What is Trapani, a real underdog.

Hugo quickly contacted Catania, since the Football Association and the court disagreed, then expand the army, the fifth place Ancona, the sixth place Triestina was promoted to the first division, the first division became 20 teams, the Serie B league is not relegated this year but only promoted, plus the 4 teams relegated from Serie A, the 4 teams promoted by the C 1 league have also become 20 teams!

Hey, hey, everyone is happy!

Trapani will be able to reap the benefits of the schedule!

At the end of July, when Hugo mentioned the recent boiling Catania incident in an interview with Roma Sport, Hugo smiled and said to reporters: "I don't think there is anything difficult to solve in this matter!" The Football Association is not doing this authentically, although Gao Qi is not a good thing, but Gao Qi is reasonable! I don't think it's as good as the expansion of Serie A and Serie B! Serie A and Serie B can be turned into 20 teams, and the relegated teams in Serie B this season will not be relegated, so won't all problems be solved! ”

The reporter absolutely admired Hugo, he could come up with this idea, the reporter's head was still a little simple, but the deputy editor of the Rome Sport newspaper, Ferrayolo, was not so stupid, he quickly realized the viciousness of Hugo's idea.
