"The defeat of the Romans in Palermo !!" The next day, the front page of the newspaper "Roma Sport" used three exclamation marks in eye-catching large characters as the headline.

"Last night, a match of the 1/4 match of the Italian Cup started in Palermo, the Roma team visited the Barbera Stadium to challenge Trapani, Roma lost and lost, three goals to Trapani, not to mention, the right fullback Kufrey also gave away cards because of the continuous fouls on Ronaldo!"

……

"Roma have continued their poor form in recent times in the game, and Mr. Capello's position is now precarious. Sensi is furious about the result and is already looking for a new manager to try to sack Capello! ”

"Super upset, Roma made three clean shots in Palermo!" Milan Sport also reported the match with a front-page headline.

"Trapani showed their courage and determination throughout the game, under the banner of attacking football, they played beautifully, and the stormy attack made Roma defenseless, and the three goals have shown that Trapani is an ambitious team in Serie B, and they are currently in sixth place in the Serie B table, only five points away from the top, and we have reason to believe that they will be seen in next year's Serie A. Maybe Zeman's side will once again bring a breath of fresh air to Serie A! ”

"On the other hand, Roma, in the continued slump, the substitutes in this game failed to complete the task assigned by Mr. Capello, Kufrey was embarrassed in the penalty area, and the crucial penalty given to Trapani was just a microcosm of the whole game, maybe Trapani, the new Serie B team, made Roma too careless!"

'Roma will face a strong challenge from Atalanta at the weekend, which will be a test for Roma who have not had a good first half of the season, and they will meet Trapani next week, will they be able to reverse a three-goal deficit by that time?!" I'm afraid I'll have to put a huge question mark! ”

"Sensitie's face is blue, and Colani is smiling!" Torino Sport, one of the three major sports newspapers, used a photo of Sensi leaving the pitch and Hugo leaving the pitch as a comparison.

"It was a big upset in the middle of the week, as the weak Trapani actually beat Roma by three goals at the Barbera Stadium! When Trapani broke into the quarter-finals, many people thought that the limit of this team was here, and now it looks like they are expected to continue the dark horse legend to the end, they have already won three goals, and now they have the advantage of advancing to the next round, and their opponent may be another team in Rome City, Lazio! ”

"Zeman has spent a few years in the city of Rome, Lazio is also his old owner, after the defeat of Rome, it is worth looking forward to whether Trapani will bring us another upset!"

The media is almost one-sided in favor of Trapani, which is rare, the three-goal advantage is too huge, but they seem to have forgotten that even three goals for Zeman's team is not a safe score, and no one will believe that Trapani will hold on to the Olympic Stadium because Zeman will not.

As a pro-Trapani website, the news on the front page of New Sports is of course focused on this upset, but they also remind that everything can happen with 90 minutes left in the game, and Trapani's young team should guard against arrogance and rashness, and show such a performance in the second leg, and continue to use facts to prove that the dark horse is genuine.

The next day, Hugo was asked for an interview by many reporters at the entrance of the headquarters, and Hugo casually answered a few questions from everyone.

"Dark horse! That's a good name! This win is a great blessing for me and for the fans of Trapani, we didn't expect to win! What I'm saying is true! But now we have reason to believe that we can qualify! ”

"The goal in the Coppa Italia?! Well, if we can take down Roma, why don't we want to go a little further and we can set our sights on the title, there's nothing wrong with that, I think as long as we can play to our full energy, it's totally fine. ”

"Winter transfer market?! I don't know! We will do our best to complement the team, we will only target players who are willing to come to our Trapani, and of course we will also consider his quality! Maybe there will be people in the winter transfer window, maybe not, everything is undecided and we have enough squad for the next game! ”

"Mascherano?! He's attracting attention, that's normal, but we have no plans to let him go, he's doing well! As for whether Italian teams at all levels should recruit him, I think it should be but I don't think it's possible, Mascherano is a great guy, he was born in Argentina, he will choose to play for Argentina! ”

"Cristiano won't leave, he's got enough space to grow here, I don't see a reason for him to leave!"

……

Regardless of the retention of reporters, after answering a few questions, Hugo went to the office building, and there is an important thing to discuss today, that is, the goal set by Hugo, he wants Selli to get Del Vecchio, and about Guardiola, should he be brought in?!

"Maybe we can listen to Amor's opinion! He can always give us a little advice, right?! Selly said to Hugo in his office.

"Bringing in Pep Guardiola and Del Vecchio is going to be another big paycheck, it's not a good deal!" Giorgio said.

He, the general manager, is responsible for salary control, to put it bluntly, a handyman, doing all kinds of work, the club's most important player transfer affairs he doesn't have any power at all, fortunately, he doesn't fight for power, he just from a business point of view, it was hard to go Amor and Lombardo, but Miku came, Guardiola and Del Vecchio also came, the team's salary expenditure is too much, there is no doubt that the 100% financial deficit at the end of this season, Hugo will have to inject capital again.

"I don't care about that salary, Georgie, don't talk about the salary, I'll fill it in when the time comes, I appreciate Del Vecchio, you see, how much he can run, if we have him in the front, we will definitely bring more vitality to the team, I asked Zeman what he meant last night, and he welcomed both Del Vecchio and Guardiola!" Hugo waved his hand, what is the salary, this is not a problem, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu continues to throw money.

"Guardiola's problem is according to what Leao said, Leao, you ask Amor's opinion, I don't know if Guardiola is interested in playing in my team, and I don't know if this player is suitable for our team, Amor has been in the team, presumably as you said, there is some understanding!" Hugo commanded.

The big win over Roma in midweek made Trapani's morale high, but it also came at a cost, the fitness problem was the key, even if it was 10 to 9, Trapani's physical consumption was also very serious, in order not to ruin the balance on the field, Zeman did not use even one substitution in the whole game. With the next leg to go, seeing that Zeman is hopeful that his team can withstand the pressure of Roma in the middle of next week, and in the league at the weekend, he naturally hopes that his main players can get enough rest.

Against the away leader Triestina at the weekend, Zeman rotated, which was supposed to be a very important game, but Zeman didn't care, he had a scale in his heart, a team like Triestina was weak, they couldn't hold on to the end, and as a result, Trapani, who had almost changed the main force in this game, lost away from home, 3:1.

The 30-point gap remained unchanged, but Trapani dropped one place to seventh, and the gap to the leaders became eight points.

After the game, a reporter accused Zemanto at a press conference, Zeman said: "It's just one game, we've lost a lot of games, this game won't decide the title, we still have hope of winning the Serie B championship!" ”

When asked by reporters whether Zeman was preparing for the Coppa Italia again, Zeman said unequivocally that we are indeed preparing for the Coppa Italia game, and it is difficult to get out of the stadium at the Stadio Olimpica, and we must have the spirit of 120 points.

Trapani's rotation is not a good thing for Roma, they are really a bit of a slump, first lost to Chievo, lost to Trapani in the Coppa Italia, and were beaten 2-1 away to Atalanta at the weekend.

Zeman's rotation is a sign of Trapani's determination to fight at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

The Romans only felt a chill on their necks.

Sensi's daughter Casela. Sensi refuted the rumors after the Atalanta game that the team has no intention of firing Capello, and the cooperation between the two sides will continue, which can be regarded as a relief for Capello who is under heavy pressure.

Sailly flew to Rome earlier and began to negotiate with Rome, he wanted to buy Del Vecchio, and casually planned to talk to Guardiola, Amor also came to Rome as a lobbyist for Trapani, to say that the gold rush, there is no better than Trapani, next year Guardiola can stay in the top league and get a high salary, this is how much a thing, at least now Amor thinks that he is not working in Trapani, this experience is still quite good.

Now Batty on the Roma side has reached an agreement with Inter Milan, Batty joined Inter Milan on loan, Roma took the lead in sending away a striker who was in declining form, and it may be a bit of pressure to sell Del Vecchio, but Bardini finally agreed, but everyone was very divided on the transfer fee, Roma insisted on a transfer fee of 10 million euros, and Sailly was of course not happy, Del Vicchio's de facto fringe international, how could he ask for 10 million euros.
