In a top restaurant in the heart of Perugia, Lopez and Crespo are sitting together, eating voraciously.

This pair of good Argentine friends made an appointment to meet before the game early to talk about their experiences in Serie A over the past half season, so as to promote each other's growth and progress.

But at present, the development of the two in Serie A is not very similar to what they imagined.

When in Argentina, Crespo's popularity obviously surpassed Lopez, especially after the Olympics.

It is generally believed that an all-round center like Crespo has a more promising future in European football. Although Lopez is also a genius, he may not be able to reach Crespo's height.

This can be seen from the transfer value of the two. Lopez's transfer value is less than one-fifth of Crespo.

Moreover, Crespo transfers to join the Serie A strong team Parma, which is a team with the strength to compete for the Serie A championship, but Lopez can only join one new team.

However, more than half a season has passed and Serie A has entered the sprint stage, but Lopez's performance has completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

Crespo is fine, his performance basically meets fans' expectations for him, steadily occupying a main position in Parma and ensuring a relatively good goal rate.

But Lopez made a total splash, making everyone unable to stop talking.

Fast speed, sharp breakthroughs, accurate shooting, and no way to fight against the opponent's defender, Lopez is almost omnipotent.

He scored 18 goals in 23 rounds of the league and led the Serie A scorer list, leaving a group of super scorers to catch up with his sprint.

Lopez also made an indelible contribution to Perugia's current position in the Serie A standings. Such a super killer is salivating for all giant teams.

Obviously, among these good friends, Lopez has surpassed Crespo and is in the lead.

"I envy you for playing football in a vibrant team like Perugia!" Crespo said with emotion.

Lopez rolled his eyes, "That wasn't you said at the beginning!"

Crespo was stunned and couldn't help but remember the conversation between the two when they first arrived in the Apennines. At that time, he was still regretting the bad choice of his good friend.

But sometimes luck just makes people fool people. Who would have thought that Parma is not good enough? Instead, Perugia, a newly promoted team, performed so well?

In Parma, the back line is the main central defender combination of the Italian national team, and most of the team are stars in their years of playing. Crespo is really a junior and has no say.

On the contrary, Lopez secured the position of the top scorer in Perugia early on, and because the players were generally young, even if Lopez didn't cause trouble, he would never be bullied.

In contrast, whose choice is worse?

"But there is nothing wrong with Parma!" Crespo nodded, but his tone seemed to be convincing himself.

"Although Mr. Ancelotti is not famous, his tactical qualities are terrible. He can easily use all kinds of tactics. Sometimes I feel that I don't understand what he is saying!"

Lopez nodded and agreed when he heard this, "The boss said this too. He said that if he only had tactical qualities, no one in Serie A could compare to him."

Crespo didn't expect Bruno to have such a high evaluation of Ancelotti, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is just a fact.

"So do you want to know how Ancelotti commented on Bruno?" Crespo asked temptingly.

When it comes to head coach Bruno, Lopez also became interested. He really wanted to know how other people's head coaches evaluated Bruno.

"Then you invite this meal, I'll tell you!" Crespo smiled evilly.

Lopez shrugged and said it was not important. With his salary, Crespo could completely vomit.

"Speak quickly!"

Crespo took a bite of the steak before leaning over, as if imitating Ancelotti's appearance and tone.

"Bruno is a very conflicted person!" Lopez couldn't understand his first sentence.

But before Lopez could ask questions, Crespo signaled him to continue listening.

"If Bruno has such a strong tactical qualities, that's pure nonsense!"

"But why can he keep winning with the team? This is also a question I always want to know the answer!"

"If it's not considered high-altitude bombing, he only has a set of tactics that can be used, which is to press outside the high position and quickly attack after getting the ball!"

"But the so-called "one move" is so popular that this set of playing styles is surprisingly powerful today, where the rhythm of offense and defense is generally slow!"

"And he is also a person who uses any means to win, everything is for victory!"

"The most important point is that his vision of selecting players is extremely accurate. If there were no such group of outstanding players he personally selected, then even if his tactics were ahead, he would not have achieved his current results!"

"In general, the amazing vision and a relatively leading tactic are the reasons why Bruno was able to succeed!"

"As for other personalities, I don't know much about it. Maybe he is also a guy who is good at inspiring people!"

......

Crespo retells Ancelotti's comment on Bruno, which made Lopez nod, and he really agrees with this.

As Ancelotti said, Bruno does not have any advanced tactical qualities, and he may only rank at the bottom among the head coaches of Serie A and even Serie B.

But Perugia just wins.

On the green field, it is useless to say anything else. Those who can win are good coaches.

At least Ancelotti's judgment on Bruno is still very accurate.

However, he seemed to have summarized less, perhaps because he didn't see it at all.

Bruno can fully tap the potential of the players and let the players show their strongest side.

"I don't know if the boss will be happy or sad when he hears others comment on him like this? Haha!" Lopez couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.

Crespo is actually very curious about Bruno. Such a young man who is not much older than them in the grade has led a Serie A team and has almost reached the highest point. How could he not be envious?

At the same time, he also envied Lopez for being able to play football under Bruno. In his opinion, Lopez was activated by Bruno in all aspects.

The same thing is said, good fortune makes people feel bad.

If Perugia Chairman Gauci did not buy Ravanelli on his own initiative and Bruno earned himself in the account, would he be as popular as his good friend now?

All this is just a hypothesis, but Crespo couldn't help thinking.
