My name is Colani

Chapter 181 Mendes Meets

"This is how the ball is played!" As soon as the game ended, Galliani went to visit his players, and Hugo couldn't wait to get to the home team's locker room. After celebrating with everyone, Hugo praised his team.

"Against even the top teams in Milan we should not look like a woman and look at you in the first half it was like a women's football team playing on the pitch! We are Trapani, I remember us from last season There are times when the performance is very poor, but there is no reason to surrender! Again, I am not afraid that you will lose, I am afraid that you will not have the fighting spirit! I don’t want to see the attitude like that in the first half in future games. Come!" Hugo sounded the alarm to the team.

"Winning Milan is nothing. In the future, when we go to Serie A, we will play against other Italian giants. I hope to see your attitude in the second half today. Remember that when you go on the court, everyone is the enemy, and you are not the one who dies. It’s my life!” Hugo warned.

"But today is a great victory. You have earned face! Everyone has worked hard to prepare for the battle during this period. Let's go to the party together tonight!" Hugo said with a smile at the end.

He won't go, he wants to have dinner with Galliani, but the team still has Giorgio and Morek, and they can take the players.

The players cheered loudly. This period of time is indeed tiring. The training volume arranged by Mazzarri's coaching staff in the summer is not low. There are two practices a day, which is very hard. Everyone has long been looking forward to having a good time.

After seeing off Milan the next day, Trapani regained its tranquility. The training and preparation atmosphere of the Trapani team was high. The victory over Milan seemed to make everyone refuel. Looking at this situation, Hugo was surprised. Morek said: "No wonder those weak teams are like beating up the strong teams! It turns out that it has such an effect!"

"You just know?!" Morek laughed, "Playing against strong teams can improve the team's confidence and morale. Maybe we should arrange more games like this!"

"This is not a difficult task! Although our training base has only been built two years ago, you didn't find that Milan is still very satisfied with Trapani. Of course, including our training base, the old Galliani The guy finally knows that Trapani is not a small team anymore!" Hugo said with a smile, "We can also invite other teams to come here for training next year, giving us a chance to play against strong teams. I know Xiao Moji, I guess. He can help me get Juventus to come!”

"Other teams can also be invited. I can let them train here for free. They only need to bear their own travel expenses! The only condition is that they have to play a friendly match with us! Such a match is really good for the team. !" Hugo continued.

"You are so generous!" Morek said sarcastically.

"I'm just afraid that if I ask for money, people may not be willing to come over! Anyway, we really didn't pay much. There is plenty of space, don't you think?!" Hugo didn't care.

In mid-August, Jorge Mendes came to Trapani. He came mainly to discuss Meireles' contract with Trapani. Meireles was previously a youth team contract, but now He is now eighteen years old and has established a firm foothold in the team. Of course, he needs to be offered a new contract.

Mendes came to Trapani in June, and he brought Pepe there. At that time, he praised Pepe to the sky, saying that he was a good prospect, tall, ferocious in appearance, and domineering in defense. Pepe was indeed good in the training ground. Who knew he would play in the game, and the friendly match with Milan almost made Hugo vomit blood.

"Jorge, you know?! Which what?! That Pepe, he plays like shit! We played a friendly match with Milan some time ago, and his performance was simply terrible! Can I return it?! Hugo said to Mendes carelessly.

"Gigi, I can't return it here!" Mendes saw Hugo joking and laughed too, and then said seriously: "Gigi, you have to give him some time! He has never played in Europe before. , it takes some time to adapt, you should believe my vision, I think he will become a great player!”

"If I believe you, I will give him two years, which is long enough. If there is still no progress, I will have to sell him. Don't blame me for not giving you face!" Hugo said, "Yes. Before, you promised me that you were willing to purchase some of your young talents here. Look at what I have here now. Is it very good? But none of your people have come!"

Hugo's words had a vague meaning of questioning, and Mendes was a little embarrassed. Everyone did say it well at the beginning, but now there have been major changes in the Portuguese agent circle. After Figo's incident, Vega's status is weakening. Des is particularly good at dealing with clubs. He is now in contact with the big clubs in Portugal and has a good relationship with them. Regarding the youth training, he obviously trusts the top three Portuguese teams rather than Trapani. You must know that Hugo himself has Being willing to keep Ronaldo at Sporting Lisbon speaks volumes.

Mendes thinks differently now than before. He doesn't want his players to be ruined. Not everyone can be like Bosingwa and Meireles and become the main force when they come here. At that time, Tra There are few players in Pani. Now Mendes also knows that Trapani has been upgrading. The team's league level is rising, the team is also upgrading, and they are all young people. The team is facing fierce competition.

Bosingwa once told Mendes about his concerns for the new season. Trapani has introduced Maggio, who is also a defender with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and he is also Italian. He will face a strong challenge from this opponent in the new season.

It would be great if his players could play in Trapani's first team, but if they are really sent to Trapani's youth training camp, Mendes thinks it is better to stay in Portugal. It is better to send his players to the youth training camp of the Portuguese Super League than here.

"I am trying, Gigi, you know not everyone is willing to go abroad like Bosingwa and Meireles..." Mendes explained carefully.

"Okay, damn it, do you think I am a fool or something! Jorge, we are friends! If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush! At the beginning, we said that you would come to me, I would be responsible for training, and we would make money together! Haha, now you don't trust us here!" Hugo immediately turned his face.

"Gigi, listen to me! I wanted to do this before, but now look at you. There are so many people in your first team. If I send them here, can they grow into the main force? Can they get a chance here? The friendship between us is unbreakable, but I am an agent, and I have to think about the players. I can't choose a difficult path for them, right? If it comes to your youth training camp, what's the point of such an action?!" Jorge Mendes cried out in humiliation.

The main reason why he was able to recruit many players quickly was that he was willing to consider the players instead of simply considering his own interests. In this regard, he was much stronger than Vega. It is said that it was Vega and Florentino who privately agreed to sell Figo.

Hugo was silent for a while and agreed with Mendes' explanation. He was an agent and his position was not consistent. It was normal to have such considerations.

The two talked for a while, and Hugo called Seli and Giorgio over. Seli is usually responsible for transfer negotiations, while Giorgio is now mainly responsible for the signing and modification of players' contracts. Hugo spent most of his time listening, occasionally interrupting and saying a few words.

Both parties have a tacit understanding on the renewal of Meireles. Hugo is very generous in salary, which Mendes knows very well. He also vaguely knows that Hugo's approach is very attractive to free agents. Trapani's goal in the past two seasons is to spend huge amounts of money to introduce those boastful young players, but to use such salary advantages to attract those "lost pearls". Well, whether they are pearls remains to be verified.

But Hugo's approach is indeed correct in comparison. Just as he said to Hernandez, if one of the ten you sent over becomes a talent, then we will be successful and very cost-effective.

Mendes will not be entangled in salary. The two sides quickly reached an agreement. Meireles was originally a main player and there were no restrictions on the conditions for playing. Basically, there were no special terms in the contract.

"Jorge, Meireles is doing very well in the team. I'm very happy that you sent him here! I have good news for you!" After everyone discussed it, they started chatting again. Hugo said to Mendes mysteriously.

"Good news?!" Mendes was a little curious.

"You know we played a friendly match with Milan some time ago. Galliani took a fancy to Meireles. Do you think this is good news?!" Hugo said proudly.

"Is this true?!" Mendes was a little bit unbelievable.

"I was sitting with that old guy Galliani. What he said to me in person, could it be false?" Hugo laughed.

"No, no, that's not what I meant! Sorry, I mean that the news came too suddenly!" Mendes knew that his reaction was a bit too bad for Hugo, and he apologized quickly.

"Jorge, my team is different from other teams. With your support, Seli has done a great job. We have many young people. I can't say that their future is bright, but we do have a good platform here. Meireles will stay in the team this season, but if we have a suitable replacement next season, I don't mind letting him leave. Of course, if Milan is still interested in him at that time, it would be great!" Hugo said with a smile.

Dear book friends, because I have something to do today, I don't have any extra manuscripts, so I will update twice a day for the next two days, and it will return to normal the day after tomorrow, with three updates a day! Please forgive me!
