My name is Colani

Chapter 152 Another guy who is greedy for money

After Hugo told Barzagli that your thoughts are normal, both of them didn't speak for a while.

After a minute, Hugo spoke, and he spoke with a smile, "Andrea, have you found a problem? Guglielmo is on loan from us, and Moretti is also on loan from us. We don't have many options for central defenders!"

"We are very optimistic about you, so we introduced you at the beginning! Your performance this season impressed me very much. Personally, I think you deserve more playing time, but..., Andrea, you have to know that I am not the head coach of this team. Although I am the boss, I can't influence Mr. Mazzari's use of players!"

Barzagli nodded. What Hugo said was also true. As Hugo said to Mazzari, Kameni was an exception. He really couldn't interfere too much with other people's use of people. This was all clear and clearly stated. It was just a matter of writing it down in black and white.

Barzagli was also relieved. So, the boss was willing to let him leave? !

But Hugo hadn't finished speaking yet, there was something else to say.

"Andrea, I just said that we have several defenders who are on loan. We want to keep Guglielmo, but Mr. Seli has inquired about his opinion and he seems reluctant to stay. If he doesn't want to, I won't force him. We will definitely not keep Emiliano. He hasn't proved himself here this season. He will go back to Florence as a substitute here! We will also have a central defender joining us next season. He is a Brazilian. The deal was negotiated last summer. We originally planned to let him join during the winter break, but later because of his own reasons, the time was changed to this summer! I want to ask you, are you willing to stay and compete together?!"

"I think you have the strength to compete with them!" Hugo encouraged.

Barzagli remained silent, and Hugo's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that a team has already found Barzagli? !

"Andrea, tell me honestly, has a team found you?!" Hugo asked in a very gentle tone.

"No! No! Boss! I'm just not satisfied with the current situation and have doubts. I don't think I'm suitable for this place. Maybe I should change places to continue my football career!" Barzagli hurriedly explained.

Hugo thought about it and felt that it was unlikely that someone would find him. Barzagli was not the main force of the team and did not have much playing time. It was difficult to attract the interest of other teams. Even if he had played for a Serie B team, he was worse than now and had no playing time.

"Andrea, you need to be patient! You are younger than me! Why not be patient?! I think you still have your shortcomings and defects. Try to improve here, and your opportunity will definitely come!" Hugo persuaded.

It's not that Barzagli must not be let go. From the club's perspective, Hugo said that Victor, Toni, and Kameni are not for sale, but other players are really not that important. However, the team has always been composed of these three players. Trapani actually needs a defensive all-rounder like Barzagli. Moreover, it was when he saw Barzagli today that Hugo remembered that this player who is one year younger than him is actually quite good. Keeping him is a good choice. Selling Barzagli won't make much money, which is quite uneconomical.

"Andrea, don't rush to make a decision! Think about it carefully. I hope you stay! Where else can you go? I don't think there is any place more suitable for your development than other places!" Hugo patted Barzagli on the shoulder and continued to persuade.

After comforting Barzagli, Hugo felt that there must be many people with the same thoughts as him, and some players in the team who can't play in the game may also have similar thoughts.

Today, through chatting with Barzagli, Hugo remembered an important person, Stendardo. Stendardo is very good. Seli has watched many games on the spot and thinks Stendardo is a promising talent. He wants to keep him, but he is unwilling.

After chatting with Barzagli, Hugo felt that since Stendardo was unwilling to succumb to the third-level team Trapani, why should the club train him with thankless effort? According to the agreement with Sampdoria, Stendardo's playing time has long been enough.

After making this decision, Hugo went to the head coach's office to find Mazzari immediately after chatting with Barzagli.

Looking at this boss, Mazzari felt mixed feelings in his heart. He disliked Hugo's meddling in the team. Although Hugo did not take any specific practical actions except for Kameni, who was forced to arrange by Hugo, to hinder Mazzari's management, there was a fly buzzing around his ears all day long, which would annoy anyone.

Hugo is familiar with everyone, but he can't be said to be friendly with Mazzari in the team. Some kind of friendship is only superficial. Mazzari knows that Hugo came to ask for something today, and he must have some request. The biggest possibility is that the boss advocates offense. If the ball is not scored, he will also make a few complaints.

"Hey, Gigi, what wind brings you here today!" It can be said that the relationship between the two is not harmonious, but Mazzari is still joking and smiling.

"Northwest wind!" Hugo grinned.

The two sat on the chair opposite Mazzarri, touching their noses and saying, "Walter, you have worked hard this season. With your arrival, we have finally become a team. I am very satisfied with the team's performance and your performance! So, I plan to sign a new contract with you and I will give you a salary increase!"

Mazzarri felt comfortable hearing this. To be honest, he didn't expect the team to be so easy to lead. He thought that the strength of a team that had lost three games in a row must not be very good, but after coming here, he gradually came to think that the strength of this team is indeed unique in the C2 League.

A detailed study of Trapani's team building shows that they have completely retained the core of last season, and at the same time, they have also found some good players in the transfer market. Mazzarri didn't know that Hugo dug up young players at the cost of salary, but in any case, Mazzarri still quite recognized Seli's work.

Mazzari thought about Hugo again. In fact, Hugo not only gave him opportunities, but also gave him great help. Hugo was the one who dealt with the team's problems. The two core veterans of the team, Amor and Lombardo, had never sung against him. He didn't know what method Hugo used, but if it was him, he would definitely not be able to do it.

Mazzari relied heavily on the two veterans. Amor and Lombardo were old, but not too old. They still had the level of playing for the middle and lower teams in Serie A. It would be quite powerful if they were put in the third division.

Amor has not only scored 7 goals but also 10 assists so far this season, which is a very impressive data, and Lombardo has also contributed 5 assists and 2 goals as a midfielder.

It can be said that without these two veterans, Trapani would not have been able to reach this point. They are very important, but it was Hugo who made them obey. Mazzari still knew them very well, so he remembered Hugo's goodness at this moment.

Of course, the more important thing is the salary increase. Mazzari smiled happily when he heard this. He didn't know how much Hugo would give him, but it should not be less.

"These are what I should do. I just try my best to do my job! Well, Gigi, I think there are misunderstandings and disagreements between you and me, but overall, I think our cooperation is very pleasant, and I am happy to continue to maintain such a relationship with the club!" Mazzari said with a smile, rubbing his hands.

Hugo secretly despised, another guy who is greedy for money!

Haha, who in this world is not greedy for money!

"I know you don't have an agent, but there is no problem between you and the club. Giorgio will discuss the specific details with you. I hope we can continue to maintain this good cooperative relationship. I believe that under your leadership, our team will have a brighter future!" Hugo said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, Gigi, I will do my best! Please believe in my professional attitude!" Mazzari almost patted his chest to guarantee.

"Then I definitely believe it! Alas, Walter, you should know that it is very difficult to run a small team like ours. When we were operating the transfer last summer, we had so much money. We either allocated it to the transfer fund or increased the salary space! I chose to increase the salary space. To be honest, this team's salary is absolutely unique among the third-level teams. Even in Serie B, only a handful of teams can meet our standards!" Hugo began to talk about how difficult it is for a team.

After all, Mazzarri has been in the football world for so many years. He was very surprised by Hugo's choice. For many teams, only fools would choose to increase the salary space instead of transfer fees.

The impact of salary pressure is long-term. If you sign a free high-paid player and can't play well, it will not be worth the loss. It will be difficult to sell it at that time. It will be a complete loss. If there are more such players, the financial pressure on the club will be very large, especially for low-level teams. Only fools will do this.

But Mazzarri doesn't know why Hugo did this, not only because Hugo will have more money to invest in the future, but also because Trapani's annual income is not low. The jersey sponsor Macron will give Trapani a sponsorship fee every year, and the Colelli family will also give a sponsorship fee. These two are the big ones. There are other advertising income, ticket income, etc., and all these are calculated. Trapani's annual income should be able to reach nearly 4 million, and Hugo himself can also inject some money into the team every year. Didn't Morek take the initiative to inject 2 million two days ago?

Calculated in this way, Hugo is actually not afraid of salary pressure, but afraid of the money needed for transfer.
