My name is Colani

Chapter 206: Sely's little trick

But the new season is not just about Palermo and Trapani, but by the end of May, another C1 team, Catania, actually fought its way out of the play-offs and also came to Serie B, which means that there will be four Sicilian teams in Serie B next season.

This is a grand occasion that Sicily has never seen before, and fans all over the island are cheering, naturally for their own team.

Zamparini is a big mouth, Hugo is a big mouth, but don't forget that Catania's boss Luciano Gaucci is also a big mouth. Hugo tried every means to win him over last season. Now, perhaps because he sees Zamparini and Hugo fighting every day, he is also itching, after Catania successfully upgraded.

He claimed that the best team in Sicily is Catania, and Palermo, Trapani, and Messina have to stand aside. He also criticized Hugo for being a young man who doesn't know how to respect the elderly and love the young, and can't get along in the Italian football circle!

"Damn it, the wine I gave him was really for nothing, I might as well feed it to the dog! This old guy who goes back on his word!" Hugo was so angry that his teeth itched. He had a deep understanding of the power of a group of mouthers in the Italian football circle. They never took any practical action, but only knew how to talk nonsense.

Is Luciano Gaucci a good guy? ! No! He owns two professional teams, one is Perugia, which is currently in Serie A, and the other is Catania, which has recently been promoted to Serie B. According to the rules, he can do this, unless the two teams are at the same level at the same time, it will not be allowed.

Luciano Gaucci is a strange man who can be compared with Zamparini. His imagination is not generally open. Hugo said that he knew him since 2000. In the summer of that year, the chairman introduced a Chinese player, but what was shocking was that the player was already 30 years old. Isn't this obviously eyeing the Chinese market? At that time, Hugo was planning to visit his fellow countryman, but later forgot about it, but he knew Gaucci.

Last season, Hugo met with the presidents of several clubs in Sicily in order to win everyone over and unite against the big clubs. Luciano Gaucci deceived Hugo with a look of deep agreement.

Gaucci also introduced a Korean player, Ahn Jung-hwan, but he did not play any main role in the team. He was probably just a substitute. The purpose was self-evident. He had previously signed Japanese midfielder Hidetoshi Nakata. His purpose in this deal was obviously to develop the Japanese market. However, he was very lucky. Hidetoshi Nakata was indeed very capable. In the end, he sold Hidetoshi Nakata to Roma and made a lot of money. He also received sponsorship from Toyota Motor Corporation because of this deal.

In the face of Gaucci's remarks, Hugo's choice was to continue to fight back. When he was interviewed by Trapani Weekly, Hugo said that respect is mutual. There is no need to respect some old guys who are full of cannons. They are nothing!

Without waiting for the two island opponents to respond, Hugo withdrew first and went to the United States to continue his career, while the affairs of the Trapani club were handed over to Giorgio and Seli.

The first thing Seli did after taking over was to negotiate with Porto about Deco.

Last season was an extremely disappointing season for Deco and Mendes. Trapani played dazzling offensive football, and the frontcourt offensive players all benefited. Miccoli had the most freedom, and his data was the best. However, Deco was obviously very important, but his data was average, which had a lot to do with his style and Zeman's arrangement.

So the tragedy happened. Deco did not attract the attention of the giants as expected. Instead, some teams that were not important were very interested in him. Instead of this, he might as well stay in Trapani.

However, Seli played a trick. He told Porto that Trapani was not going to buy out Deco because they had no money, because we had no money!

Pinto da Costa, the chairman of Porto, was dumbfounded. He really didn't want Deco in Trapani. Da Costa wanted to kill Hugo. There is no doubt that Deco, who came with a high price halo, has depreciated and is not as valuable as before.

Deco's one year in Trapani was not very noticeable. Only he and Zeman knew his importance. Zeman's request for the summer transfer was to buy out Deco. This was the only request he made this summer.

Many people were not optimistic about Deco. Like his appearance, his performance also looked mediocre. As a front midfielder, he did not have many assists and goals, but Zeman knew the importance of Deco and his importance to his team, so he made this only request.

Mendes didn't know what happened. He called Seli and asked, "Are you really not going to buy out Deco?!"

"Jorge, he is too expensive! This summer we only have 20 million euros in transfer fees, and buying him out will cost 15 million euros. How can I operate the remaining millions of euros?! Gigi gave me a death order that we must be promoted to the A League next season! Tell me, is it feasible to just maintain the current lineup?! I need a lot of players!" Seli deceived Mendes together. His only purpose was to lower the price!

We need to lower the price of Deco!

“But not long ago, Gigi told me that you would buy out Deco. Has he changed his mind now?!” Mendes asked.

"That's because he doesn't understand the actual situation! I will explain to him later that we can't sign Deco! He is busy with business and has no time to take care of the club's transfer!" Seli blocked Mendes with one sentence.

Mendes didn't believe it, and turned to call Hugo, but the line was busy. After calling several times, he finally got through. Hugo replied to Mendes, "I did say that, but Seli later told me the situation! It's probably a bit difficult to sign Deco, I'm afraid I can't do anything!"

Mendes felt that something must have happened behind the scenes. How could this matter that was originally agreed upon at the end of the season change? But now he has no choice. After all, his operation of Deco has completely failed. He feels that he has made the worst deal. He was really stupid to send Deco here last year.

Even if Deco's matter was suspended, Sely planned to cool down. The scout invited by Sely found out about Klose in the German team. His name is Miroslav Klose. He scored 16 goals and 7 assists in the Bundesliga last season. His heading ability is very good.

However, the scout also told Sely that Klose has been selected for the national team and his performance in the Bundesliga is so good that there is no possibility of transfer.

Sely still contacted Klose through the scout. Klose had no plan to transfer. Klose was born in Poland, but his family is German. His father is a football player who played for Auxerre and was one of the men of the long-term head coach Guiru. His mother is a handball player who was once selected for the Polish national team.

Klose's ancestors were Germans (Klose is one of the oldest German surnames) and lived in Opole in eastern Germany at that time. This area belonged to Germany before World War II. After the war, the Soviet Union assigned 114,000 square kilometers of former German territory east of the Oder-Neisse River to Poland, and 170,000 square kilometers of Poland's Western Belarus and Western Ukraine to the Soviet Union. Since the Opole region was once German territory, the Polish government in the 1980s believed that their predecessors were "residents of the German Empire" and liquidated the area. The German descendants who stayed in their homeland were also driven back to Germany. In the early 1990s, the reunified Germany amended the nationality law to allow these residents and their descendants to return to Germany to settle down. Some of them were Germans, such as the Klose family. The German side defined them not as immigrants, but as returned overseas Chinese.

Klose has a deep affection for Kaiserslautern, because it was this team that gave him the opportunity to qualify for the professional league. You must know that before the age of 22, he played in low-level teams. If it were not for Kaiserslautern, he might have become a bricklayer.

His hometown is in Buzer, not far from Kaiserslautern, so Kaiserslautern can be regarded as his hometown team.

When he heard that it was a Serie B team, Klose had no interest at all. The middleman said that the boss of Trapani was very rich and they could offer a very high salary, but this did not impress Klose.

Seli knew it would be like this. You can't do without money in the football world, but not everyone can buy it with money.

"Forget it if you can't buy it!" Hugo didn't feel much regret. He didn't know much about Klose. He just remembered that Germany beat Saudi Arabia 8:0. Klose was very impressive. He felt that he should be a good striker in the future. Since Klose didn't want to come, it didn't surprise him.

"Gigi, don't be discouraged. We are indeed a little helpless at the national level, but after all, it is the second-level league in Italy. We like to collect and cultivate young people. The reputation has been established. Don't worry about no one recommending us this summer!" Seli laughed happily.

"What are your plans?! In addition, regarding Deco's matter, do you think Porto will give in?! Will they try to sell Deco at a lower price?!" Hugo asked.

"I don't know, I plan to cool down for a while. It's not even the end of June yet and our agreement is still valid! We still have time! I think they probably want to sell Deco, after all, he seems to have had a failed season!" analyzed Seli.
