My name is Colani

Chapter 103 The Power of Public Opinion

Recruiting some untalented players, not to mention filling the numbers, the club still has to spend money to invite them, which is simply a sin for Trapani today.

The strategy that Seli said was also discussed by everyone a long time ago. Now if we want the youth training to take over the first team as soon as possible, we have to find some reliable ones. Hugo chose to keep his mouth shut very wisely. As the transfer director, Seli is also a member of the club. He once again asked about the development of the incident. He also did not want Trapani to be severely punished.

"Don't worry, Leo, I'm not so easy to be defeated by them. First of all, Tavecchio is not all-powerful in the amateur league. Secondly, I also found a pen to deal with him! You just wait and see! Let you have another reassurance. No matter whether the club will be punished or not, I will never give up this team! Don't you realize that I have poured a lot of things into this team, money, feelings, and giving up can only be a polite talk, it will never really happen!" Hugo said confidently.

"So you focus on your work, there will be no problem with me here! I hope you and Giorgio can come back with a bigger harvest!" Hugo said with a smile.

Selli naturally agreed.

Hugo never asked what the writer Gallando was doing now, he believed that Gallando knew what to do.

Gallando not only investigated and figured out how to write, he also used his connections in the journalist circle to find several writers, who worked in different newspapers, to go to Trapani to interview and see the real Trapani Football Club and Hugo himself.

So Hugo suddenly found that more and more people wanted to ask him for an interview. Hugo had no reason to refuse at this time. He accepted all the interviews from all media. In the next few days, he was almost busy with one thing - accepting interviews and entertaining these journalist friends.

The team didn't know if Hugo's speech had worked. On the next match day without Allegri and Victor, the players who knew their shame and were brave enough to win the away opponent in one go, still maintaining the advantage in points.

Alberto Ricci revealed an important news to Hugo one night, that is, the investigation team was finally going to call it a day and issue the investigation results of this incident, but he didn't know the specific time.

"There are disputes within the investigation team. Some people want to protect you, and some people want to destroy you. But now it seems that Tavecchio is still capable, and the people who destroyed Trapani have the upper hand! If this report is released, your team may be severely punished, and the worst case may even be relegated!" Ricci said to Hugo in a slightly heavy tone.

For more than ten days, the investigation team was entangled enough. The matter could have been simple and clear, but the two disputes made it difficult to issue an investigation report.

"Gigi, don't put your hopes on the arbitration court. To be honest, according to the court's pace, such an appeal will take at least several months for them to come to a conclusion. If the amateur league can delay it, the next season has already begun. Before the court makes a decision, we have to implement the amateur league's penalty decision! Regardless of whether the arbitration court's decision is favorable to Trapani, we have actually lost! I guess Tavecchio has known this for a long time. Maybe the delay in issuing a report is to time it!" Alberto Ricci said such a heartfelt words.

Hugo was shocked at this time. He was too careless. Sometimes it is not right to think that the enemy is too stupid. Ricci's words are absolutely correct. Even if the court's decision is favorable to Trapani, there is no possibility that the promotion quota will be sent back to Trapani. Tavecchio still won.

"Should we go to Rome to visit Tavecchio!" Ricci proposed this plan again.

"No way!" Hugo did not hesitate at all. Can I pull down this face? !

"What should we do?" Richie asked depressedly. Actually, it was just a matter of playing with Tavecchio. Why was Hugo so stubborn? Sometimes paranoia is not a good thing.

"What should we do?! Let's see what the public opinion says tomorrow!" Hugo said this. He wanted to urge Galando to take action. At least he had to directly expose the referee problem and point the finger at Tavecchio, so that he would not easily dare to make a report conclusion that was unfavorable to Trapani. This was the solution Hugo thought of in a hurry.

Hugo immediately called Galando and said without any extra words, "Tomorrow I must see the results of the investigation of this incident in the "Gazzetta dello Sport" and the truth of the matter!"

"If you don't say it, I will do it tomorrow! I have thought of a strategy. First report the results of the investigation of this incident, then publish your personal interview, and then publish who is destroying football in Sicily!" Galando was concise and to the point. As a reporter, he was very particular about the level.

"Gigi, I have invited a few friends to interview you. Starting tomorrow, there will be some reports in the Italian sports media that are biased towards you. But I can't guarantee how big the wave will be. You know I'm just a reporter, not a politician!" Galando spoke the truth. He did not have as much influence as politicians to completely reverse the public opinion situation. It might be a small trend that would disappear after a few days, or it might attract the attention of many people and cause a bigger trend, making the situation completely turn in Hugo's favor.

"Okay, no matter the effect, we'll start tomorrow!" Hugo couldn't care about the results now, he could only hope for good results.

"Gigi, I have a few friends on the national TV station. If you are willing to go on their interview program, your exposure will increase significantly, which will be more beneficial to you! I don't know what you think?! But now I don't know if it's too late!" Garlando thought of this way again.

Well, this guy's idea is definitely a good one!

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat. Hugo has always been very low-key. This is the Chinese way of thinking, but now I have to say that being famous is also a good amulet.

"Of course, I'll pay one million dollars! I just want them to do my interview program as soon as possible!" For all those who are unfamiliar, unknown, and potentially bribed, Hugo said nothing and money opened the way.

Garlando was happy. This is a great spirit. He didn't think about the problem of money. Paying money to go on the show, asking a few friends to help, and getting some money to work, this is definitely possible. Who doesn't love money? ! You can get it easily.

"In that case, I think it's totally fine! We can go on the "Invazioni Barbariche" program that airs every Monday!" Gallando said immediately, "I'll contact them right away and ask them to help think of a solution! You go to Rome tomorrow, and I'll find you tomorrow after I finish the report!"

The next day, Hugo went to Rome and met Gallando's TV friend Tony Pacheco. It was impossible to go on TV this week because the show had already been recorded, but the producer promised that it would be aired next Tuesday.

Hugo did not hesitate and transferred $1 million to Pacheco privately. Now, in order to increase his fame and make Tavecchio afraid before the amateur league investigation team came out with the results, he really risked his life.

At the same time, Gazzetta dello Sport began to play against Corriere dello Sport. Corriere dello Sport interviewed Brocchi, but Gazzetta dello Sport pointed out that the referee team headed by Brocchi had unusual penalties in the match between Trapani and Acireale, and even mocked Brocchi and others for treating Trapani fans as fools and confirming the unwarranted penalty.

In the report, Garlando also listed a series of evidence to prove the unreasonableness of the Amateur League and the Amateur League Referee Committee in the process of appointing referees, implying that they were obviously targeting Trapani.

Later, Garlando also mentioned the description of the whole incident by the Sicily Local Amateur League Committee and the local police in Trapani, which was far from the Amateur League.

There are three influential newspapers in Italy. Garlando's reporter friend in Turin Sports published an exclusive interview article on the third day. The interview was naturally with Hugo, and the interview completely portrayed Hugo as the guardian of Trapani football and even Sicily football.

Gradually, some other newspapers also reported Hugo. In fact, when Hugo's TV interview program had not been broadcast, he had already gained considerable fame. The local media in Sicily also began to speak up for Trapani. They said it more bluntly, saying directly that there was a mafia in the amateur league. They couldn't stand the rise of Sicilian football and wanted to destroy Sicilian football, so they deliberately rectified Trapani.

For a time, all signs pointed to Tavecchio. Some media said that Tavecchio was the mastermind behind the scenes, deliberately rigged people, and they were good at making up stories. The Sicilian teams that were treated unfairly before were not just Trapani, but now all the shit and urine were thrown on Tavecchio.

Other media said that Tavecchio did nothing in the amateur league, and that a promising team like Trapani should be strongly supported, instead of letting the evil forces within the league do whatever they want and ruin Trapani's good upgrade situation!

Sitting in his office, Tavecchio finally felt the power of public opinion. The manifestation of this power meant that if the amateur league did not make a punishment favorable to Trapani, it would definitely be persecution. Hugo also repeatedly reiterated in various interviews that he would fight to the end for Sicilian football and he would find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
