Chapter 508: First Derby 3

"This game is a test for Klinsmann! We have the best players in the world, and the eyes of the world are focused on today's game!" Agostino has changed his career in the past two years. Trapani specially invited him to be the home announcer. When he is not at home, he will be invited to comment on Trapani's away games.

His commentary with a Sicilian accent is widely welcomed in Trapani and even in the Sicily region. Today, he was invited to comment on the local TV station in Trapani Province. Of course, his commentary is biased.

"Kick-off! Corini passed the ball to Diana..."

Palermo's ball control is very good. Klinsmann was also cautious this time. He did not rashly let the players press them high. Ballack and Essien kept their positions. Vucinic was given freedom and a large range of activities. He retreated actively. It depends on him to intercept near the center circle.

In the first wave of attack, although Palermo controlled well, the final result ended with Amauri's foul. This attack took Palermo three and a half minutes. Trapani was very patient, and most importantly, Ballack was very patient and did not lose his position rashly.

So Palermo could only pass the ball to end this attack in the end. There was no other way. They wanted to penetrate, but they were not at that level. Guidolin's team used the interception of the midfield to counterattack quickly, and used Amauri's high point to let the midfielder score!

Penetration may work for other teams, but they can't do anything against a team like Trapani where the players are relatively strong, and Guidolin will not let his team lose the ball easily, so Palermo kept passing the ball from the outside for three and a half minutes. In the end, he might not be able to watch it anymore, and even Bresciano killed into the penalty area before passing the ball.

As a result, Amauri held Victor with his hand to prevent him from jumping, and was called for a foul by Rizzoli.

Kameni passed the ball to Samuel, and Trapani started his first wave of attack. Palermo's advantage in the midfield came out. Their solid position made it difficult for Trapani to find a point to pass the ball. Ballack was not impatient, but he was not used to this method. They did not rob you, but relied on their position in the midfield to cut off your forward passing route. After making several invalid passes, Ballack simply made a long pass to Toni.

Pisano and Cassani were not tall and not old, but they dared to fight. Facing Toni, who was both famous and powerful, they were not afraid at all and successfully interfered with Toni. Trapani players failed to grab the second point and the ball was caught by Palermo.

Klinsmann was not satisfied with the team. He hoped that the players could move faster. The team was not fast enough in the transition between offense and defense.

Klinsmann advocates speed. Germany attacks fast and fiercely, but Trapani is not fast enough. The reason is that the pressure in the midfield and backcourt is not fast enough. The back line does not provide enough support to the frontcourt, which makes the team miss the opportunity of fast attack.

He also doesn't like the current way of passing. It is not concise and effective. Why do so many meaningless passes? The players should be more direct. On the training ground, he always asks the players in the frontcourt to be good at running.

Klinsmann keeps making gestures, asking his players to press forward, and keeps shouting, don't worry, except for Ballack, everyone else should be able to understand, Klinsmann's Italian is quite good.

"Wow! That was close!" Agostino exclaimed in the live broadcast room, "Amori's shot was just a little bit off! We escaped everything, I should drink some water to calm down!"

In the tenth minute, Palermo finally brought a substantial threat to Trapani's goal. Simplicio passed the ball straight, and Amori leaned on his position in the penalty area. In the fight with Victor, he flexibly hooked the ball to his crotch and shot around Victor. Fortunately, he didn't look at the goal and relied on his feeling. As a result, the ball missed the post.

Victor's face turned red. This single challenge was really embarrassing. Last season, when Messina played against Chievo, Amori scored a goal right under Victor's nose. This time Amori almost succeeded again, and Victor, who is a world champion, was quite embarrassed!

"A beautiful escape move. Well, Victor made some mistakes in his defense. He shouldn't have let Amori take the upper hand in the wrestling match with him!" The boss is the boss, and he should criticize what should be criticized. Agostino's criticism of Victor was very accurate.

Two minutes later, Palermo got a corner kick opportunity. Victor retaliated against Amori this time and hit him secretly from behind!

Amori fell to the ground, and Rizzoli didn't see this little move. Amori was lying on the ground in pain.

"Don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead! I'm watching you, don't play tricks in front of me!" Victor warned fiercely.

Rizzoli ran over, and Victor immediately complained that Amori was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, and his sportsmanship was problematic. Rizzoli signaled him to shut up. Amori, who had recovered, complained that Victor hit him from behind, and both sides insisted on their own opinions.

Not to mention that Rizzoli didn't see it, even the players on both sides didn't see it. Everyone focused on the ball.

Rizzoli had to warn the two of them to behave themselves, and the two reluctantly shook hands to show their goodwill!

As the game continued, Trapani's midfield became increasingly unstable. Ballack was not a rule-abiding man and he began to make frequent runs forward, leaving space behind him. Palermo soon seized the opportunity.

In the 35th minute, Ballack was dribbled past by Corini, who passed the ball to the side. Palermo advanced quickly, and Bresciano passed the ball behind Trapani's defense line, and Amauri successfully countered the offside.

Taking advantage of Amauri's adjustment time, Victor caught up and tackled from behind, but the ball was not tackled, and Amauri fell down. Rizzoli blew the whistle decisively and pointed to the penalty spot!

Rizzoli awarded a penalty, and Victor held his head with both hands and cried out for injustice, but he was greeted with a more severe punishment. Rizzoli took out a red card from his chest pocket and held it high above his head in front of Victor.

"Black whistle! How much money did that old guy Zamparini give you?!" Victor made a move that the world will never forget. He tore off the red card in Rizzoli's hand and threw it far away.

"This red card is too damn harsh, right?!" Hugo was also very dissatisfied with such a red card in the stands.

"Black whistle!"

"Rizzoli is a dirty guy!"

"He was bought!"

All the senior executives around Hugo cursed.

"Stupid!" Agostino also cursed, "Kameni has already attacked and blocked the angle. Victor should not be so reckless!" He cursed Victor!

This is not the first time Agostino has commented on the game, but he feels that Victor is not right today, and he seems to be going against Amauri.

Amori covered his ankle in pain on the court. Rizzoli thought that Victor was not only the last person to defend, but also fouled from behind. The situation was bad, and it was completely reasonable for him to give Victor a red card.

Victor's act of throwing away the red card also shocked Agostino. He had to add a stupid word. Needless to say, such an act of openly confronting and despising the authority of the referee will be punished after the game.

Agostino doesn't think the Football Association will make a judgment, Hugo? ! Yes, he is indeed a big shot in the Italian football circle now, but the more he is like this, the more he is likely to be questioned by the public, and the media is looking for fun all day long.

Didn't he always say that he would create a clean and pure football environment? Interfering with the punishment of the Football Association would definitely go against the spirit he has always advocated, so Hugo would not put pressure on the Football Association.

Only after Toni and others dragged him away did Victor leave the stadium chattering!

Many commentators teased Victor, saying that the young master had messed up his first game after returning to Trapani, and some data experts pointed out that Victor only received a few yellow cards last season, not even the cumulative number of suspensions.

This was the first time he just returned to Trapani, and he got a red card!
