My name is Colani

The next day was July 10. Hugo, Selly and Lu Fan went to Palermo to pick up people. This time he picked up Javier Hernandez, who came all the way from Argentina, and he also accompanied him to recruit people. A group of young players, ranging in age from fourteen to eighteen years old, but without exception they all have a special background. They are basically all descendants of Italians who can obtain Italian passports.

In addition to Javier Hernandez, there was another adult in the team, and Hugo really couldn't figure out what he did.

The adult had been helping to pack the children's luggage and didn't take the initiative to say anything.

Hernandez pulled Hugo aside and explained in a low voice: "This man is Oscar Mascherano. He is a football coach. His son is Javier Mascherano. He is the only one currently He plays for River Plate, but he is only a child in the youth echelon and has not played in the first team. He is a very talented child and has some reputation at River Plate. We know that he is actually of Italian descent, so we investigated him. , he is really outstanding! I want to bring him to you!”

"Which kid?! Which one?!" Hugo asked hurriedly. South America has the best football talents. Even the so-called parallel imports actually have some strength. What if this Mascherano is really a Treasure, he didn’t want to miss it.

"He didn't come, but his father came! His father was once a professional player, but his career was not brilliant. Now he is a coach! His father is here to inquire about the situation here. He wants to see his son Is it suitable to play here?" Hernandez stopped Hugo and continued.

"Oh, this is what the front station inspection means!" Hugo understood. Poor parents in the world, maybe because his son has indeed shown talent, so he is very cautious. You must know that transfer can make a genius or destroy it. A genius, that's understandable.

"No problem, you can show him! I will go to the training base in the afternoon. Now the first team has gathered, this is not a problem!" Hugo said. "I plan to talk to him personally. I believe in your vision!"

"You are the agent of these children?! What about Javier Mascherano?!" Hugo asked again.

"He's not, he doesn't have an agent, his father is taking care of everything now!" Hernandez explained.

Hugo nodded and said, "Let's go ask him!"

After a while, the three people walked up to Mr. Mascherano, and Hernandez introduced Hugo and Selly to him.

"Hello! Mr. Mascherano, you are very welcome to come to Trapani as a guest!" Hugo extended his hand and said warmly.

"You look very young!" Mr. Mascherano muttered, slightly showing his distrust of Hugo.

"Actually, I am indeed very young, I am only 21 years old!" Hugo laughed, "But everyone says I am very reliable!"

"Well, I didn't mean that, Mr. Colaney! I was just sighing! I originally thought you would be a..."

"An old man, or a middle-aged man?!" Hugo laughed.

The laughter lightened the mood.

"I know your purpose! We will go to the training base in the afternoon. I can guarantee that Trapani is not a country team!" Hugo smiled again.

The group packed up, boarded the bus rented by Hugo and the others, and headed for Trapani. Mr. Mascherano knew Italian, so communication was not a problem. On the contrary, Hernandez did not understand Italian. On the way, Hugo acted as a tour guide and told Mr. Mascherano about Trapani. He told Mr. Mascherano that Trapani was under construction and the goal was to become Italy's Silicon Valley. and a world-renowned tourist city.

He also told the history of Trapani very honestly and described the future of Trapani to Mr. Mascherano.

The bus went directly to the training base in Trapani. The training base has been continuously upgraded since Hugo came back from Argentina. It was originally a new building, but now it looks both beautiful and functional.

The young players were not restless. They were looking outside through the car windows. Just as Hernandez described to them that they were not going to a grassroots team but a big club. Hernandez was also very satisfied. Hugo did not exaggerate. At least from the perspective of hardware facilities, Trapani is completely better than River Plate and Boca and other big Argentine clubs.

The green training ground exudes an attractive luster. When the young players enter their youth training dormitory, they are even more happy. What they have experienced since childhood is either taking a car to train by themselves, or the accommodation conditions are very poor, but here Very good. Each room is equipped with air conditioning. Only two people can live in a room. It is completely hotel-style management. However, Hugo does strictly control the Internet. There is only one computer room and game room in the entire dormitory building, which is open at regular times. , of course it’s also free, but it’s probably impossible for them to play comfortably.

Hugo is very serious about eradicating Internet addicted teenagers.

I have to say that just looking at these hardware, Mr. Mascherano has to admit that there is nothing wrong with his son coming here.

The children were naturally arranged by staff, and Hugo took Hernandez and the others to the school that had been built, right next to the training base.

"Starting from this year, we will open this school. We will hire specialized teachers to take charge of cultural classes for the children in the youth training camp. The cultural education they receive will be synchronized with that of the whole of Italy, and we are very good at training children in the youth training camp. There are strict regulations. If you fail the cultural class, you will not be able to participate in training. I just hope that these young players can learn more. Even if they cannot become professional players in the future, they can continue to go to college or junior college to develop skills. Get a foothold in this society!" Hugo introduced.

Mr. Mascherano feels deeply that not every professional player like him can find a coaching job after the end of his career. Many professional players are destitute at the end of their careers. They do not understand business and other things. Specialties can only be spent in vain, and some even picked up bad habits during their playing days. If they don't change their bad habits after their careers, the money will be used up quickly. Besides, if you are a professional player in Argentina, no matter how frugal you are, with the wave of economic crisis, you will lose money. Everything you earn has almost depreciated, so it would be strange if you are not poor.

"Mr. Colaney, you have the right idea!" Mr. Mascherano exclaimed.

"If they enter Trapani's youth academy, then they will be my employees and I want to be responsible for them! There are so many kids, Mr. Mascherano, and you know they can't all become professional players. It’s not easy for Javier to find them, but it’s even harder for these children. They all have a football dream in their hearts, so they came here across the ocean. I hope they can live well here and feel the warmth of home. Not only You can improve your skills here, and you can also learn culture here. In short, you can't delay playing football and studying. There will always be a way out, and it won't destroy them." Yu Guo said sincerely! He said that he spent so much money. It can be said that all his own money and Morek's two million in the previous stage were invested in this. This is because these people are not adults, they are children, and children should have a future.

Hugo personally arranged a room for Mascherano, and then took Hernandez to the office of the training base, and asked Hernandez in detail about the situation of these young players. There were 9 children brought here, ranging in age from 14 to 18. There was only one child, Angel Fabian Di Maria Hernandez, who was only 12 years old. This child came from Rosario, his father is of Italian descent and his mother is Hispanic. The family is very poor and has no money. This child is very fast and excellent at dribbling. When Hernandez's father inspected him, he was not optimistic about him. , wanted to wait two years before talking, but Di Maria’s family couldn’t wait. For many poor people in South America, playing football is also a way out. If their children can play professional football, the whole family will undergo earth-shaking changes. They took the initiative to plead for help. Little Di Maria was brought to Italy, and so this little child came.

Hugo smiled bitterly at Hernandez and said, aren't they afraid of actually meeting a liar? !

"Gigi, if you were poor, you wouldn't think like this! They would just think this is an opportunity! An opportunity that might get the whole family out of poverty!" Hernandez shook his head and said, this is also true.

"Hey, that's it! An Argentinian gang is about to appear in the youth training camp! From now on, these children must be carefully controlled and don't form gangs in the youth training camp. This is not good!" Hugo laughed. .

"That must be true. Even children are used to staying together in a foreign land, but management is your business. I can only advise them!" Hernandez said with a shrug.

"They will not be alone here. If we are promoted to Serie B next year, I plan to let Leo Messi join the team, and now they have a fellow countryman!" Hugo said with a smile, "By the way, Javier, I didn’t introduce it to you in detail just now, but Lu Fan is actually from Argentina, and his Argentine name is Angel Domingos Lu!”

On an occasion like today, Lu Fan naturally fulfilled his duty as a bodyguard. Hugo and Mascherano chatted happily. When they met, they only gave a rough introduction. Hernandez definitely did not expect Huang The skinned Lu Fan is actually from Argentina.
