With the follow-up buyout fee, Deco made a solid start in Italian football, and even Little Moggie called Hugo and asked, "Where is that Deco you bought?!" ”

"It's hard to say if it's sacred, Alex, but you know I'm rich, and I like to gamble!" Hugo said Blowby.

With a week to go before the start of the league, Hugo made the most of the transfer heat and arranged for the fans to welcome Deco, who had been playing for so many years and had yet to enjoy such treatment, with hundreds of fans at the Pacheco training base to greet him.

Mazzal's current mood can only be described in a cool word, the owner who is willing to spend money is always easy to get the favor of the head coach, although there are all kinds of contradictions, but Mazzali now sees how Hugo is pleasing to the eye, he is also unaware of this deal, but he likes the boss to buy people very much, from his experience he believes that the club's top management is not a fool, and the people who buy are all shining, since Deco has spent so much money, then the shining point can only be a lot.

Of course, he also has troubles, this Deco joined a little late, I'm afraid it will take a little time to adapt to everything in the team, he prays that Deco can get familiar with his tactics as soon as possible, and can be worthy of the high price.

Of course, Hugo will not go to meet Deco, he met Deco on the training ground, this Brazilian player is very low-key, he is very serious on the training ground, he looks ordinary, he looks like an old farmer, Hugo secretly slandered himself, don't rent a parallel goods.

After observing for a few days, Hugo also discovered some characteristics of Deco, his vision is outstanding, his passing is ordinary, but his accuracy is very high, he is Brazilian, his movements are fast, his skills are also outstanding, and he will not lose the ball easily.

Mazzari is also rejoicing in Deco, he is really not famous before, but the strength is definitely there, he is indeed one of the best players in the team, he has more advantages than Lombardo in that he is younger and more active than Lombardo, not too fast, but more running.

However, in the first game of the season, Mazzarri had to put Deco on the bench, Deco is not very familiar with the style of play of 442, and he is familiar with the position of the midfielder, Mazzarri once let Deco play in the midfield position of 442, Deco's play is very average.

Mazari didn't think about how to arrange Deco at all.

There are two groups in Italian Football League C, the first place in each group directly qualifies for Serie B, and the two groups have Roma as the middle line, the north-central region is Group B, the south-central region is Group A, and Trapani's group is Group A.

There is another team in Sicily this season, Catania, who will also play in League C I, like Trapani, and the two teams will stage the Sicilian derby in Group A.

Trapani have a good schedule, the first round is at home, and the opponent is Sangroborg, a team based in the Abruzzo region, not strong, last year in the lower half of Group A of League C1, and when the new season starts, they have neither the money to run a transfer like Trapani, nor the salary space to attract players like Trapani.

Hugo often says that he has no money to spend on transfers, but compared to other teams in the first league, Trapani is actually like a local tyrant's team, many teams are dissatisfied with Trapani, they resent Trapani for raising the salary space, which is unreasonable, in many teams in the third league, the player's salary is not comparable to Italy's per capita income, the football world is a world with a large gap between the rich and the poor, but now Trapani's salary space makes many players envious, No other club can hate them.

On the afternoon of September 2, the first match of the 2001-2002 League I season was played at the Trapani Stadium, and Trapani was filled with thousands of fans, all of whom were Trapani fans.

Hugo's original plan was realized, and he demolished the team's office headquarters near the Trapani stadium and built a new office building, the first floor of which was a fan shop dedicated to the fans.

The poor ghosts who used to be in Hugo's eyes are now more and more generous, they silently accept Trapani's 15 euro ticket price, spend money in the fan store, buy all kinds of supplies, and the fan store business is booming.

Hugo sat on the bench in full clothes, this guy is still a member of Trapani this season, he only got less than 90 minutes of playing time last season, but Hugo still insists on staying by the water cooler.

Next to him is another substitute Pioro of the team, Piolo's salary is average, and Hugo belongs to the team as a substitute for ten thousand years, but he has much more playing time than Hugo, this summer he has received invitations from other teams in C1, but he himself refused, he would rather be a substitute here, the salary here is higher, Piolo, who knows that he has a few pounds and a few taels, is very pragmatic, and it is more appropriate to play football as a job, and it is an easy job to play the main team, It's hard work.

Selli wants to sell him, but Hugo is dispensable, it's okay if Peolo doesn't leave, this guy is following him all the way, Piolo is most commendable is that he has figured it out now, unlike before when he always wanted to play, now he is content with the substitute, and the substitute is definitely working hard to fulfill his duties, is there a better substitute than this?!

Hugo didn't think there was anything anyway, so Pioro chose to stay, Hugo was also welcoming, with the flow of people, Hugo now rarely communicates with the other players in the team, sitting next to the "water cooler", at least this old guy is accompanying him.

Patrice Evra, Luriga, Deco, Beluschi, Natali, Barzaretti, Maggio, Padoin and others were on the bench and they were all looking forward to playing today, but Mazzari was still used to the old man.

Last season, he made just two changes to his starting line-up: Pepe replaced Victor and partnered Barzagli at centre-back, while Mikoli replaced Simeone. Pepe moved to the left to play as a wing-back.

"How about a bet?! Vincent! 50 euros, I guess today we will win by three goals! Hugo whispered confidently to Peoro.

"Gigi, I guess two balls!" Pioro stretched out his hand and shook Hugo's hand to signify the deal.

With the cheers of the fans, the players of both sides appeared on the field, as soon as the ceremony ended, the game between the two sides officially began, Mazzari looked grim, stood on the edge of the field with his hands in his hands, this game is very important for him, up a level, he also hopes that the team will get off to a good start and make a good start to his performance in the new season.

Judging from the summer transfer, Mazzarri now has to admit that the top management is not sorry for him, and he himself has been sprayed with the great and wise chairman in person, if he can't create good results by relying on these players, Mazzari can imagine that Hugo, who is not very interested in himself, may fire himself.

Sangroborg were not conservative at all after the game, as their head coach Bruno told them in the dressing room: "They are just a promoted team, even if they may be paid more than you, but that doesn't mean they are better than you, now is the best time to prove yourself!" ”

Sangroborg's way of proving himself is to be brave and determined to implement the manager's tactical arrangements, their players may be less capable than Trapani, but that ruthlessness is more than Trapani's players, and Bruno is not a fool, he has been in charge of the lower leagues for 20 years, and he has studied Trapani's tactical play last season, and has made a lot of tactical arrangements on the pitch.

In contrast, Mazzari is obviously a bit overbearing, does not know much about Sangroburg and has a lot of trust in his team.

As a result, the serious Bruno had the upper hand in the opening game, this advantage was in possession, Mazzari rarely adopted the tactics of pressing high, since you don't grab and want me to lose the ball in the front, why don't I control the ball in the backfield, anyway, if I can get a draw at your home stadium, it will be cost-effective.

"That's not going to work!" Hugo frowned, Mazzarri is still a little conservative, about the first game of the new season he also wants to be stable, but Hugo doesn't think this can win.

Mazari also frowned, Sangroburg did not follow the routine of the general team, said okay, you punch me and kick me, why don't you punch, you are grinding with me, and I am thinking about what to do while secretly scolding Bruno shamelessly.

Mazzari did not immediately adjust his tactics, but now the players on the Trapani pitch are very depressed, always facing the opponent's crazy encirclement with the ball, when there is no ball, they don't know how to run, how to press, because people rarely operate the ball to the outside of the Trapani penalty area.

The fans in the stands were very dissatisfied, they could see that Sangroborg was here to win the fuck, it was clear that he was here to get a point, and the boos were flying all over the sky, and it was not a taste to listen to Mazzari's ears, he thought that the fans were booing him, but in fact the fans had a good impression of him, because Mazzari was a meritorious coach.

"Walter, it's time for something to change! We have such strength, why bother to let the players shrink back! "The advice to Mazzari is assistant coach Michele. Barrias.

"Well, maybe I'm too conservative!" Mazari said as if admitting.

Mazzari soon began to move his team forward and began to actively press to prevent Sangroburg from comfortably reversing the ball at the back, and at this time half an hour had passed in the game, Bruno couldn't help but smile at Mazzal's reaction at this time, the young manager was really a little slow to react.
