My name is Colani

C Ronaldo feels fresh about Trapani, but the third new player is not fresh here. This person is an old man of Trapani, Simone Pepe. Simone Pepe played for Palermo last season, and half of his ownership belongs to Trapani.

Pepe's life in Palermo is not easy. He has never been trusted by the head coach of Palermo. He has less playing time and slow progress. This summer, his agent wants him to return to Trapani. They are not optimistic about staying in Palermo.

Seli is willing to make this deal happen because Pepe is not unfamiliar with Trapani and does not need to adapt to time. It is plug-and-play. The key is that the price must be inexpensive, probably only about hundreds of thousands of euros.

Don't look at Hugo and Zamparini fighting in the media, but the business still needs to be done. Seli proposed two plans to Palermo, one is to buy back the other half of Simone Pepe's ownership, and the other is that everyone opens the envelope one year in advance.

Palermo certainly didn't want to open the envelope a year in advance, which was disadvantageous to them. First of all, they didn't want Simone Pepe, so they naturally couldn't offer a high price. Secondly, according to their understanding, Simone Pepe was not a necessity, and Trapani couldn't offer a high price. The price of opening the envelope was very likely to be lower than the price of direct negotiation.

So they chose Trapani to negotiate, and everyone reached an agreement. Trapani spent 200,000 euros to buy back half of Simone Pepe's ownership. Compared with the original selling price, Trapani still made a profit, and Palermo didn't lose money. The price after negotiation was considered good. Simone Pepe depreciated a lot in a year.

In addition to these three players, Trapani also negotiated with Turin and spent 600,000 euros to buy Balzaretti, who was loaned here last season. Balzaretti actually didn't have many opportunities to play last season. Zeman used Evra as a full-back, squeezing Balzaretti, who was originally a full-back, out of position. However, the head coach is the head coach, and the team's top management is the team's top management. Seli believes that Evra can't compare with Balzaretti on the defensive end, and the team should keep him.

Under Seli's persuasion, Balzaretti stayed, and these two days, they are discussing the loan agreement. Seli plans to loan Balzaretti out for training. Guingamp, Palermo, and Messina are all options. They all expressed interest in Balzaretti's loan.

These are the new players who arrived before the start of the new season. Seli is still working hard. Trapani not only let Drogba go this summer, but also loaned the young player Diamanti to Messina, Sicily.

Since the verbal battle with Gaucci and Zamparini, Hugo's relationship with Messina's boss Franza has begun to heat up sharply. Both of them are local businessmen in Sicily. It is normal for them to dislike outsiders coming to Sicily. Moreover, these two big mouths are not as rich as Hugo, but their mouths are so big. Sometimes Hugo wants to slap those two shameless old guys in the face.

Diamanti was loaned to Messina in this context, which can both train and increase Messi's strength. Franza is not as far-sighted as Hugo. His main focus is on his business, not football. He took over Messi just because Messi is his hometown.

"Mr. Zeman, what do you think of Cristiano?!" Hugo asked beside Zeman.

The Ronaldo that Hugo knows is from the future, and he should be a very powerful existence, otherwise how could he and Messi become the most heard star in Hugo's ears, but Ronaldo is young now, and Hugo wants to ask Zeman, the master, for his opinion.

"I heard that you signed this kid two years ago, so I want to know why? Why did you choose him?!" Zeman asked back.

Hugo naturally told the lie he had prepared again, "When he was young, I was impressed by him. I believe he will become one of the best players in the world. This is why I am willing to pay millions of dollars for him. I believe in my intuition!"

"You actually have such an intuition! Gigi, I am very happy to have Cristiano. He has great potential. Although there are still some weaknesses now, they can all be improved. He has excellent speed and dribbling ability, which is very important!" Zeman said happily.

Looking at Zeman's expression, Hugo knew that the genius was still a genius and had not become a fool. Ronaldo was still Ronaldo. That's good. He was afraid that his money would go down the drain.

When the morning training was over, everyone left, but Ronaldo continued to practice on the training ground!

"Hey, hey, hey! Cristiano, come here!" Hugo shouted loudly on the side of the court.

Ronaldo heard Hugo's call and ran over, "Looking for me, Mr. Coleman!"

"Don't call me Mr. Coleman! I'm not much older than you, right?!" Hugo said with a smile, "You can call me Gigi or Hugo!"

"Hugo!" Ronaldo called out cheerfully.

"That's good. I don't want to have a cold relationship with you. You and I are colleagues. You work for this team and I work for this team, but you play football and I don't. It's that simple! I hope we can keep a more relaxed atmosphere!" Hugo continued with a smile.

"I just want to ask how you've been these past few days?! Are you adapting here now?! Your Italian is pretty good!" Hugo asked while praising. Ronaldo speaks Italian. He has been learning this language since he was bought by Trapani, and now he can speak it well.

The language barrier is the biggest problem. Fortunately, Ronaldo already knows some of it, and there are still four Portuguese-speaking players in the team, Pepe, Bosingwa, and Meireles. Ronaldo won't have too much trouble here.

"It's okay! I think it's better than Madeira!" Ronaldo commented embarrassedly.

"That's for sure! Cristiano, this will become a livable city in the world in the future. Look, we have the ocean, the beach, and the beautiful scenery here. There is no place more comfortable than here! By the way, I will also tell you that playing football here in the future is a very wonderful thing! I have acquired a piece of land, and in the future I will build a sea stadium with a capacity of about 50,000 people. There will be the most advanced facilities there, and it will become the best football stadium in the world!" Hugo said proudly.

"We are indeed not comparable to those teams with a solid foundation. They have champions, but I want to say that what we are doing is to write the glorious history of the Trapani team. Starting from me, this is a new beginning for Trapani!" Hugo said proudly.

Ronaldo was listening carefully. Hugo once again revealed an ambition in front of him, but Ronaldo still didn't know when such a wish could be achieved? ! Hugo never said his timeline.

"Haha, sorry, the topic is off! I mean that the city of Trapani is great, and the team of Trapani is also great! I believe you will feel comfortable here not only now, but also in the future!" Hugo smiled.

"Do you want to know what Mr. Zeman thinks of you?!" Hugo smiled mysteriously and asked.

Ronaldo is not two years ago. Two years ago, he was also unknown, with no level and not a loud reputation, but now he has been widely regarded as a genius in Portugal. Ronaldo is used to the praise. From Hugo's expression, he knew it must be a compliment.

Ronaldo nodded very cooperatively.

"Mr. Zeman thinks highly of you! He thinks you have a bright future!" Hugo said with a smile, "You left a deep impression on him!"

"But I am very satisfied to see you still practicing after training. There have been many Portuguese media praising you in the past two years. I am very happy that you did not get lost in these praises! To succeed, it is not only talent that is enough, it also requires your acquired efforts!" Hugo admonished.

Perhaps because he felt that his pretentious tone was getting more and more severe, Hugo smiled again: "But you are still young, you still have to take care of your body. If you hurt yourself, you don't even have the opportunity to play. How can you improve?!"

"I know, Hugo! Don't worry, I will become the best player in the world!" Ronaldo answered confidently.

"Good ambition requires this domineering spirit! Young people should not look ahead and behind. To be honest, I was here because I dared to fight and rush. So don't be afraid of anything. Go forward bravely, and you will definitely get good results!" Hugo continued to encourage.

The meeting with Ronaldo was very pleasant. After chatting for a few words, Hugo thought Ronaldo would go with him, but he didn't expect Ronaldo to tell him that he had not completed his task today and had to work overtime on the training ground.

It seems that Ronaldo's success in the future is not without reason. Look, it's not easy to learn self-discipline at such a young age!

You know, many players can't stick to training and learning. They have been squandering their talents. There are so many temptations in the world, and even being bored is much better than boring training. It can be seen that becoming a professional player is not necessarily so wonderful.

Ronaldo is here. Another person Hugo is looking forward to is Messi. However, Messi needs to apply for nationality, which is troublesome. However, even if he comes, Hugo plans to arrange him to the youth training camp and will not let him play in the first team. His age is too young, but Trapani is no longer like it was more than a year ago. It needs to recruit young players from the youth team.
