My name is Colani

Chapter 108 It’s time for you to study

Selli was quite prepared. He knew that Hugo would definitely ask about the transfer when he came back, so he made two lists.

Hugo first looked at the players who were leaving. These people were local players of Trapani. He had known that this day would come, but Hugo still felt a little touched. These amateur players were not easy either. Their level was a little worse, but they were indeed the great contributors to the team's upgrade.

There were some disputes about the treatment of these players before. Giorgio believed that these players might not be unable to play in the C2 League. From the perspective of saving money, some of these players could be kept.

But Selli didn't think so. He admitted that some local players in the team were still capable of playing in the C2 team, but he thought that they were not young anymore and could basically see the future. Instead of wasting time on them, it would be better to recruit some new young people to take over, which would not only train the team but also achieve the goal of upgrading.

Upgrading was the focus of the dispute between the two sides. Hugo cared most about upgrading, but whether it was keeping the old servants or using young players, who could guarantee 100% that the team could be upgraded? Who could guarantee it? ! No one could guarantee it.

Hugo finally chose to stand on the side of Seli in that communication. Young people are the future. Now the team level is relatively low, and there is still a margin for error. If they really go to Serie A, will there be a chance to train young people? ! No! Now Serie A teams have this habit. Few have the habit of training players in Serie A. They are all loaned to teams in lower-level leagues to train players.

At present, only two local players, Victor and Piolo, can stay in the first team. All other players will be cleared out of the team. Hugo looked at the list sent by Seli. Few chose to continue playing. Many chose to retire and chose to follow Hugo's arrangement to enter the Colani family's business and do a job.

Hugo is not surprised by such a choice. Those who continue to play football go to teams closer to Trapani, which are lower in level than Serie C teams, such as the Pacheco Town team where the training base is located. Distance is a problem for the players. Here they can get a good salary, enough to support their families, but there is no such possibility in other places. It is better to choose to work and support their families than to continue playing football.

"Take some time, I want to talk to them! They are all great!" Hugo put down the list and said to himself.

"Yes, they have contributed to the team! But now we have to look forward, Gigi, our future must be bright." Selilo persuaded with comfort.

"Yes, you don't know, I had a deep conflict with them at the beginning, and it was Giorgio who helped me a lot, otherwise we would not have been able to upgrade successfully last season!" Hugo recalled the past, "Forget it, let's not talk about the past! Let me see what you have done recently!"

Hugo smiled and looked at the second list. There were only 9 people on the second list, three of whom were recommended by Mendes, Bosingwa, Meireles, and Ferreira. Among them, Ferreira will not join until next year.

The remaining 6 players are operated by Seli and Giorgio, of which three are on loan and three are transferred.

Andrea Barzagli, a Florentine, previously played for Rondinella near Florence, which is also a team in the Italian Serie D. He was loaned to Pistoia in Italian Serie B last season, but he had no chance. Selli spent 2,000 euros to introduce him from Rondinella, because of his versatility. This player is less than 19 years old now, but he has played as a striker, midfielder, and defender. He is a versatile player. It is unrealistic to expect the team to add to the huge lineup of last season. Selli hopes that the team can have more versatile players.

Simone Pepe, who is less than 18 years old, was also transferred by Selli. This player cost less, and only 1,000 euros was taken away from the youth training camp of Roma. Roma is an extremely large team for Trapani, but precisely because of their size, these young players have no chance. Transfer is a good choice.

Fabio Grosso, a 23-year-old from Pescara near Rome, moved to Chieti in the C2 League on a free transfer last year. He played 25 times for Chieti in the league and scored 4 goals. He is a left-back with outstanding offensive ability. Seli did not pay much, only 5,000 euros, and Chieti let him go. For them, Trapani is a rich man. Hugo's team has not yet reached the C2 League, but everyone knows Hugo's reputation. He is ambitious, and 5,000 euros is considered a bargain for Trapani.

These three people were transferred by Seli, and the ownership will belong to Trapani in the future. Their common feature is that they are young, and of course they have no experience in playing in higher-level leagues. Simone and Pepe have not even played in the professional league.

"Do you think they are talented?!" Hugo pays special attention to his own players.

"Gigi, what should I say to you?!" Seli didn't know what to say. Hugo has been working for so long, and he thought Hugo should understand.

"No one in this world can see the future! You ask how talented they are, and how high they will grow in the future, I can't give an answer at all, only God knows such things! I can only say that they are suitable for the team, and the price is not expensive. I mainly give them salary. I offer each of them an annual salary of 20,000 to 30,000 euros after tax. This is the most critical factor for them to join the team!" Seli said with a wry smile.

"Of course, from my point of view at present, I think our efforts will not be in vain! Do you know why?!" Seli then smiled mysteriously again. Hugo didn't know how to do business. He was still too young in the football circle.

"How do you say it?!" Hugo asked curiously.

"Do you know what their advantage is?! Youth! If we are promoted successfully, or if we go to Serie B in the future, they will always grow. Maybe they will not meet expectations, but they have experience. Even if we want to sell them in the future, it will be easy to sell them. There will be many clubs that want them. Maybe there will be big clubs that like them. We can easily get back the money with interest!" Seli laughed. This is the business philosophy. Although Hugo proposed rejuvenation, his mind has always been thinking about making the team the best. He doesn't want to let go of good players and doesn't want bad players. He ignores the fact that the team actually needs people to come and go to make transactions.

Hugo asked about their talents, obviously with extremely high expectations. However, in Seli's opinion, is talent important? ! Maybe it's not that important. As long as these few can endure hardships and have certain talents, they will be fine. Youth will make them grow, and they may bring unexpected income to the team in the future.

Seli is not only building a team but also doing business. This is somewhat different from Hugo's idea. He and his agent Mendes agree that the team is also a store. We should open the door to do business. If a good material comes, we will process it. Even if the product is not very good, if it is produced by a pretty good team, the price will naturally go up.

Seli's idea is in line with the commodity market. For example, the products produced by counterfeit manufacturers are exactly the same and have the same functions, and the price is much lower than the genuine ones. This is the reason.

Trapani can't upgrade, even if the data of these players is good, it is difficult to sell at a high price!

So Seli is not worried that these players are not talented, he is only worried whether these players will work hard.

"I understand what you mean! You mean that if we don't use them well, we can still sell them in the future, and there is a great possibility that we will not lose money!" Hugo nodded.

"Yes, that's what I mean! Gigi, building a team is not a matter of one day or one night, and the personnel in the team cannot remain unchanged! I know that according to your idea, you now wish I could see through the future and recruit all the young people with potential, and then the championship team will be completed, and you can wait for the championship! But this is impossible. First of all, as I said just now, we scouts are not God, and we can't see through the future. What we collect are some intuitive information revealed by the players on the court, such as attention, basic skills, height, leg length, speed, psychological quality, etc. These are combined to analyze the potential of the players, but who can tell whether they can reach their expected talents. Secondly, sometimes necessary personnel flow is necessary. Players are not as docile as the players you recruit locally. They have seven emotions and six desires, and have their own requirements. It is impossible to say that there are no conflicts between the team and the players. Such a situation will gradually occur in the future. The solution at this time is transfer. We make a fortune and let them go to maintain the harmony and stability of the team!" Although Seli is a scout, from these words, Hugo feels that he has made the right choice to find him as the transfer director.

"I'm excited!" Hugo suddenly said.

"Excited?!" Seli looked confused, not knowing why Hugo was so excited for no reason.

"I'm glad!" Hugo said again.

"I'm excited, I'm glad! I was so wise to ask you to be the sports director! You're really great! Leo!" Hugo grabbed Seli's hand and shook it hard.

"Tsk! You think I'm a god! These are the most basic principles of football management! I'm not the one who's awesome, you should learn!" Seli replied to Hugo speechlessly. Really, in his opinion, this principle is simply the basic quality of a football manager.

Do you believe what the scouts say completely? ! Only a fool would do that!

Do you believe that all the players on the team wear good guy cards? ! Only a fool would think that!
