My name is Colani

The league champion failed to defend his title, but Hugo was still mentally prepared. After all, his opponent Inter Milan was not a rookie, and his strength may not be as good as Trapani's. But at the critical moment, stimulated by the Triple Crown, Inter Milan maintained their morale. , the schedule in the final stage was also quite favorable to them. Their opponents were not strong and they did not miss the mark. The four-point gap was not big, but very far away. It is normal that they failed to complete the reversal in the end.

But the defeat in the Coppa Italia made Hugo particularly angry. In the Coppa Italia match, Inter Milan and Trapani ended in a draw with a civil war in the 120th minute, and finally won with a penalty kick, winning the 2009-10 season. The Italian Cup champions are only one Champions League trophy away from winning the Triple Crown. Inter Milan's morale is very high.

This strong dissatisfaction directly led to a consequence. Hugo decided to change coaches. Of course, this idea is not new now. Bielsa has been here for three years and he failed to complete the goal of the Triple Crown. Hugo Still not disgusted with his tactics, he believes that under his training, Trapani has made great progress. In the past, Ranieri relied on luck and defense, but now Trapani has the real strength to roll over Overwhelm your opponent.

The team's performance this season is not good, and the responsibility cannot be entirely placed on Bielsa, because the team has a lot of injuries. The medical center has been criticized several times by Hugo, thinking that they have failed to shoulder their responsibilities.

But in the end, Bielsa has to shoulder the blame, so regardless of whether he can win the Champions League this season, Bielsa should leave.

Before Hugo could find Kenyon and the others, Bielsa took the initiative to find Hugo.

On this day, Bielsa actually invited Hugo to dinner with ulterior motives. This was unprecedented in the past three years. Hugo thought Bielsa wanted to explain, but who knew that Bielsa actually proposed that he planned to leave the team after this season. The contract between the two parties was originally renewed, but Bielsa proposed a peaceful breakup.

When Bielsa brought it up, Hugo was curious as to why.

"The first reason is that I failed to achieve the club's goals. Mr. Colaney, although you don't say it, I understand your expectations and requirements. We failed to lead the team to win more championships. The team's investment is not directly proportional to its performance, and this is my responsibility anyway!" Bielsa said with a wry smile.

Hey, I wish you could understand! Hugo continued to listen to Bielsa.

"The second reason is my own. I don't think I have achieved my goal. It has been three years and I am very tired. Maybe I should take a rest!" Bielsa said again.

Bielsa is telling the truth. When he becomes a coach of a wealthy club, Bielsa realizes that there are many constraints. After three years of working, he feels more and more that he has changed a lot. Is that good or bad? What's bad, even he himself doesn't know. He doesn't know if some of his compromises are correct. Maybe he will take a good look at his past three years during his break.

"Phew!" Hugo breathed out. Looking at Bielsa's expression and increasingly white hair, he felt really sympathetic. Putting aside his achievements, Bielsa was actually not that weird. He just treated the players. It's relatively strict, and Bielsa has really worked hard in recent years, contributing to the solidification of Trapani's overall style.

"Mr. Bielsa, personally, I appreciate your football philosophy! But as you said, it is impossible for a team like ours to ignore results. This was made clear to us when you came here. ! I won’t say anything false to you, and I won’t retain you this time! I approve your resignation, and you can handle the follow-up matters with Peter and the others!” Hugo also expressed his affirmation of Bielsa’s achievements, Bielsa's resignation was agreed.

Hugo's reaction was not beyond Bielsa's expectations, and not to mention Hugo, Bielsa could also guess that many senior people in the club would also choose to fire him. There is only one reason. Bielsa's results under the leadership of the team are not enough to cause a blow. Convinced, but in fact among the fan base, their evaluation of Bielsa is another matter. Trapani fans like Bielsa's style.

Bielsa's style is mainly based on high-position pressing and quick attacks. The frontcourt gives full play to the players' talents and freedom, and his small-scale cooperation is very imaginative.

Barcelona's style is to control and compress the opponent's possession of the ball, which is closer to Total Attack and Total Defense.

These two styles are the two most attractive to fans in the world. Bielsa also has imitators. The tactics adopted by Klopp, the young coach of Dortmund in the Bundesliga, are similar to Bielsa's tactics in Dortmund.

The starting point of the fans is naturally to like whoever plays well. The idea of ​​​​the club's top management cannot be that simple. If you want Trapani to become the greatest champion, you must embellish it with championships. Bielsa has not done enough. .

After talking about it, the two sides actually talked happily. Hugo thought about it and asked Bielsa, "Mr. Bielsa, I really want to continue the team's current style. Since you are leaving, do you have any opinions on the selection of the coach? Do you have any?" What a good choice!”

Bielsa was stunned for a moment, oh, you actually asked me. Bielsa immediately thought of his two assistant disciples, Bellizzo and Pochettino. Bellizzo has been with him longer and has a better understanding of his tactical thoughts. Pochettino Not long after Tino debuted, Bielsa did not think he could serve as the coach of a wealthy club like Trapani.

"Gigi, what do you think of Bellizzo?! Maybe you can consider him!" Bielsa recommended Bellizzo hesitantly.

Hugo did not speak. To be honest, he was not familiar with Bielsa's coaching staff, Berizzo and Pochettino. After all, he was not in those years, and he was only focused on the team. Now he had a family, and he had more responsibilities for the family. Football was no longer his job, but a hobby. Naturally, he could not be as familiar with everything about the team as before.

"I will think about it carefully!" Hugo said at last.

...

Bielsa invited Hugo to say that the matter of leaving was very private. Everyone was a smart person. The Champions League had not ended yet, and no one would bring it up publicly at this juncture. Trapani had lost the league championship and the Italian Cup championship in succession. The morale was originally very delicate. If he continued to stir up this matter, wouldn't it be a nuisance to himself? Only a fool would make it public.

The next day, Hugo called Morek, Kenyon, Seli, Antonio, and Perotti to his home and announced Bielsa's intention to resign and his decision that he had agreed.

"Alas, it would save trouble if he left!" Several senior executives present, Morek, Kenyon, and Celid, watched the Italian Cup final at the Olympic Stadium in Rome with Hugo, but Hugo was very annoyed, and vaguely revealed that he didn't want Bielsa to continue working.

It's not surprising. The treble is Trapani's unique honor, and Hugo and Mourinho had a big fight a few days ago. How could Hugo be happy with his treble? Even if Mourinho won a double crown, Hugo would not be happy, let alone a treble. So Hugo was fighting for his temper, just not letting Mourinho get what he wanted.

It's not surprising that Morek said this at this time. Everyone thinks it's time for Bielsa to leave. Perotti is a little regretful. He is the team leader and has been with the team day and night. Bielsa is still a good old man. Now he has been appointed as the team's deputy general manager, that is, Kenyon's deputy. This is Hugo's intention, and he obviously wants to train him.

"His matter is now settled! The Champions League is now our only goal. We must keep the news of Mr. Bielsa's departure a secret and no one can tell it!" Hugo continued, "In addition, you must also start selecting a coach!"

"Do you have any target candidates?!" Hugo thought of Berizzo, and then said, "Mr. Bielsa, I recommended Berizzo, what do you think?!"
