48. Lucarelli's troubles
Inter had only three shots on target in the whole game, but two of them were scored, and all of them were refracted into the net by Trapani's players, Kameni was completely useless even if he was in the gods, and Trapani's side completed 7 times in the woodwork, but did not score a single goal, instead they also shot twice in the game.
With all the situation and statistics dominant, Trapani lost 0:2 at home to Inter Milan, which is in poor form, which is really unimaginable.
"Mr. Collaney, what do you think of today's luck, it doesn't seem to be on your side!" A reporter asked with a joke.
"I'm helpless! I can't be our players, in fact we were doing well, weren't we?! But sometimes it's like that, and we lack some luck! They only hit the frame three times and they won the game! Hugo smiled helplessly.
The direct competition of this game brought Inter Milan's points closer to Trapani by two points, while the other two rival games, Lazio and Udinese got a draw and only got one point, and Parma lost to Milan, so Trapani is still in fourth place by a narrow margin.
This game is not just a loss of three points for Trapani, in the game the team's starting striker Klose was injured for the second time this season, fortunately this time it was a traumatic injury, and Córdoba in a scramble, Klose's ankle was scratched, although the team doctor has dealt with it, but the ankle is still swollen after the game, and the follow-up will be filmed to see if it is a real trauma or ankle problem, of course, this possibility is relatively small, after all, Klose was treated in the stadium at that time, and completed the whole game, It's just not that active on the pitch anymore.
This season Trapani is equipped with 5 strikers, but the competition is actually very not fierce, Piolo is completely a substitute in the bench, this season has only played a few times so far, not scored a goal, Mascala and Lucarelli are in a different state, their playing time is not much, but in the limited time, they are all good, Mascala does not score many goals, but his tactical role itself is not measured by goals, Lucarelli as a center forward, he must be measured by goals, However, Lucarelli also scored four goals in a limited amount of time, which was not easy.
But their performance still can't touch Hugo's heart, in Hugo's mind, the combination of the front line is always a two-person turn of Tony and Klose, it is impossible to say that the two have no opinion, they are not Peoro after all, and they don't have a few brushes themselves.
Klose was injured and Trapani's next game was away to Brescia, with Hugo announcing his starting line-up a day earlier, with Mascara and Lucarelli both battling for a starting spot, but Hugo announced Ribery.
This really makes Mascala and Lucarelli a little unbearable, Lucarelli is the most unwilling, Mascala can be a second striker, the tactical role is very good, but Lucarelli is impossible to become a second striker, his position is basically occupied by Toni and Klose, and he can't even see the slightest chance to come out, after all, he is almost thirty years old, and Lucarelli doesn't want his career to be spent on the bench.
If it were other coaches, maybe Lucarelli would be angry in public, but Hugo is different, Lucarelli knows very well that Hugo is not his opponent in terms of fighting, but Hugo is not a weak and bullying character, he is a character with a certain background, Lucarelli After training on the day the starting list was announced, after several struggles, he still knocked on Hugo's office door, he wanted to leave here, just this summer.
Hugo was a little surprised by Lucarelli's arrival, speaking of which Hugo is very easy to get along with, not the kind of rich second generation with vices, but in the team who really dare to talk to Hugo completely open, it is still those old people, such as members of the coaching staff, such as Tony, Pioro, Victor, Barzagli and the like, these are all old people who have been with Hugo for a long time, and they don't care about talking, but the communication between the newcomer and Hugo is actually very small, Miku is a special case.
"Chris, come on, come on!" Hugo warmly beckoned Lucarelli to sit down, although a little surprised, Hugo actually hoped that Lucarelli would talk to him more and talk to him about his thoughts.
Lucarelli settled down, sat down opposite Hugo, and said to Hugo: "Boss, there is something I want to talk to you about!" ”
"Chris, I'm glad you were able to come to me with any ideas! The door to my office is always open to you! Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?! Thinking of the daytime, when he announced the squad, Hugo knew that Lucarelli must have come for the squad, but he still pretended to be happy and said.
"Boss!"
……
"In terms of age, you are older than me, you don't have to be so formal, I'm not a family business here! This is the team, I hope you can all be a little more relaxed with me, you can call Gigi or Hugo! Hugo said with a wave of his hand.
"Ahem, Hugo! I've been thinking about it for a long time this season and I have an idea now, I'm ...... I want to end this season and get out of here! Lucarelli said with a slurrel.
"Leave?!" Hugo was surprised, he thought that Lucarelli was just expressing his dissatisfaction, which he could understand, but why was it so serious and wanted to leave.
"Why?!" Hugo reflexively asked a nonsense, but the words were out and wanted to take it back, but in the end it was not.
"I'm not willing to do this as a substitute! I'm thankful for being here, I'm thanking Mr. Zeman and I'm thanking you for being here I regained my confidence as a striker, but I spent too much time on the bench! Lucarelli looked directly at Hugo and stated fearlessly, "I know your difficulties, your choice has your considerations, your starting point is definitely the interests of the team, but I also have my pursuit!" ”
"I'm almost thirty now, and I want to have a happy career instead of sitting on the bench!"
"Chris, have you found the team?!" Hugo asked, tapping on his desk.
"No, no!" Lucarelli hurriedly said, "I'm here today to ask you to agree with me!" ”
"Did Palavicano make you do this?!" Hugo smiled and continued.
"It's not! That's just my personal thoughts! To be honest, I did express my thoughts and wishes to him, but he didn't let me come to you! Lucarelli shook his head.
Lucarelli has an agent named Carlo. Palavicino, a well-known agent in the Italian football circle, when Lucarelli came to Trapani, Palavicino agreed and actively promoted the matter.
Lucarelli had heard the rumors of Hugo, which was the story of Hugo's punishment of the agent, which was quite cruel and bloody, and he was afraid that Hugo would misunderstand that his appeal had something to do with Palavicino, so he quickly cleared up the relationship.
Hugo smiled indifferently, he used to hate players and agents betraying him behind his back, but now, it doesn't matter, the people he wants to keep can't be kept, so why bother.
Lucarelli's answer made Hugo still satisfied, without Palavicino's push, then Lucarelli was actually an object worthy of sympathy from Hugo's heart, but Hugo didn't want him to go.
What tactics Zeman will use next season, Hugo doesn't know anything, the core issue of the last meeting between Hugo and Zeman was the distribution of power rather than tactics, saying that tactics An old fritter in Italian football still needs Hugo to teach?! No, Hugo just needs to vote in favor from the boss's point of view.
Hugo's tactical idea is still assuming that the two-striker tactic will also be used next season, so that Lucarelli's departure will have a great impact on the team, Piolo has actually told Hugo some time earlier that he intends to play in the lower leagues, and he does not want to spend such a period of bench career, Hugo has agreed to let Peolo leave.
Then there are four strikers next season, and the team may have to play in Europe, all kinds of factors add up, the four strikers are few, and we must find a way to increase the personnel on the front line, Lucarelli has a good tactical run-in with the team, but there is a lack of opportunities, maybe there may be a gap with Tony and Klose in terms of ability, but he does have a good substitute for the team, supplementary candidates, and it is really difficult to find a character like Lucarelli on the market.
Hugo never thought of letting Lucarelli go, nor did he want to let Mascala go, they were all in the plan for next season, at least from the management point of view, Hugo discussed it with Selly and Giorgio many times, and there was no idea of letting Lucarelli go.
The difficulty of strengthening the summer transfer market is that it needs a fit, first of all, from Hugo's mind, the situation of Tony and Klose has determined that they are the main force of the iron fight, whether it is Tony who debuted in the top league this season or Klose who transferred from the Bundesliga, he has proved his strength, so what the summer transfer market needs to find is a replacement. Secondly, the bench also has to be strong and can play a good role in the absence of Toney and Klose.
Add up the two conditions, give it a try, and it is guaranteed that it will be difficult to find in this transfer market!
Therefore, it is necessary to keep Lucarelli and Mascara, Hugo kept banging on the table, and his head couldn't help but feel a little regretful, saying that he was really not as good as Zeman, Zeman rotated a lot last season, and he was also very bold, and the personnel were used under him, while Hugo was becoming more and more conservative, tactically conservative, and conservative in employing people, and the rotation was going on less and less, and there were many people who couldn't play.
