My name is Colani

"Great victory! Great Trapani! Great Toni! We defeated Palermo in the 2002-2003 Palermo derby. We are the best team in Sicily!" Agostino said The solemn declaration in the live broadcast room brought a perfect ending to this 4:0 game!

After the game, Hugo ran to the stadium and congratulated his players with a smile on his face. It was not without reason that he was selected as the most happy boss by La Gazzetta dello Sport. Hugo almost jumped into the sky at the Barbera Stadium.

After all, Serie B is the second tier, and it has received slightly more attention. Reporters from the live broadcast company Italian National TV and other media just took the opportunity to interview Hugo on the spot.

"Mr. Colaney, are you happy with this victory?!"

"Of course, you are talking nonsense! I am very happy! We have proved ourselves, we are promoted, but our goal is the championship! This game proves this very well!"

"Mr. Zamparini said he would fire Coach Graylian! What do you think?!"

"Haha, what do I think?! I sympathize with Coach Grellion! We all know that working under Mr. Zamparini is not an easy thing! The problem with Palermo is not with the coach, but with the coach Because they have a president who likes to change coaches! Look, Palermo has no chance of promotion this year!”

"You mean you're not a boss who likes to fire coaches?! What about Mr. Mazzarri?!"

"Of course I wasn't, I fired him for a reason and we are grateful for Mr. Mazzarri's work, but it was a difficult time and we needed to make changes! It turns out our choice was the right one, Coach Zeman is here to do it Well done! I hope he can stay here longer!”

This reply was in response to what Mazzarri said a few days ago. He said that the relationship between him and Hugo was bad. The two parties had never achieved real trust. If his performance fluctuated even slightly, he became the scapegoat!

Hugo didn't want to argue with the meritorious coach. Mazzarri had Mazzarri's contribution and he had to respect Mazzarri's contribution.

"Instead of talking about the past tense, we should talk about the present continuous tense and the future tense!" Hugo added.

Finally getting the opportunity, Hugo was asked a lot of questions about many aspects, one of the important ones was the package sales speech. There has been no clear progress on this matter. Hugo was just preparing to put it into practice, but today He said this in front of reporters.

"I think we are falling behind now, we should catch up! The Italian team's stadium needs to be improved, we should have a professional stadium, not like now! So next time we will fall behind sooner or later, and the Italian teams will be beaten by the stadium It’s so tortured! Also in terms of broadcasting, our club should not be in a weak position! I think the behavior of the national TV station is a monopoly. If they don’t make changes, we should take them to court! The Premier League has something to learn from! All our professional teams should stand together and package sales would be beneficial to everyone, so why not do it?”

"In fact, I have been preparing for this work for a long time. What I can reveal is that this matter has the support of many clubs, and a consensus can be reached within the league in the near future! Then when the broadcast contracts of each club end, we Then you can truly seek change!”

The contract terms signed by TV stations are different. For big teams, TV stations naturally hope to sign long-term contracts with them, while for small clubs, they try their best to lower the price.

This has resulted in some teams having long-term contracts and some having short-term contracts. Many small clubs have short-term contracts and receive less funds, while big clubs have long-term contracts and get large contracts. For example, Juventus last year The income from television broadcast fees is nearly 60 million euros, which is more than ten times that of small clubs. The income gap is huge.

One word stirred up a thousand waves. When Hugo said this in front of reporters, he was no longer just talking about it some time ago, but was actually putting it into practice!

The first person to support Hugo was Bari's boss Matarese. He said in an interview: "The environment in Italian football should change. I think Gigi made a good suggestion. All of us Everyone should think about it carefully, such a change is not only good for our league, but also good for Italian football as a whole!”

After that, Cagliari boss Massimo Cellino, Messina boss Franza, Brescia boss Corioni, etc. all spoke in support. Some of these people are Hugo's die-hard allies, such as Franza, He has a very close relationship with Hugo. Hugo also introduced him to cooperate with his cousin Morek this summer. They are both builders in Sicily. Hugo gave them the advice that they can merge into one and integrate their strengths to make money. Big money, Franza is very interested at the moment, and Morek is also interested in doing this.

As for the owners of Cagliari and Brescia, they are not very familiar with Hugo, but they were all the losers in the summer. Brescia has never reached an agreement with the TV station in Serie A. Later, the TV station bid reached 8 million. Euros before he agreed to start the game!

Now faced with such a proposal that obviously seeks to benefit small clubs, of course they have to agree.

There must be some opponents, but they dare not say anything to his face. Moggi is very unwilling for such a thing to happen. In international football, Juventus's broadcast contracts are top-notch, no less than the top one in the Premier League. Why should they? Looking for a change? ! If you can't get to the top of the league, your income will drop sharply. This kind of thing is not a good solution to Juventus' current situation.

"The contract we signed will not expire until 2005. I think it is too early to talk about this now! I think it is understandable that Mr. Colaini wants to seek benefits for his team as much as possible, but changes must be made with caution. good!"

Moji laughed and pointed out that Hugo was fighting for the interests of his team!

Amid this excitement, the professional league held a professional league meeting during the national team game day.

All the bosses of Serie A and Serie B participated in this game. Hugo also flew to Rome to attend this meeting. There is no way to estimate the end time of such a meeting. Hugo now understands the virtues of this group of people in Italy. What? It is not uncommon for people to ignore the interests and push the envelope. The election of Galliani, the president of the professional league, was the product of compromises between several parties and was delayed for several months. At this meeting, Hugo planned to throw out this plan, and no one wanted to Knowing what to expect at the professional league conference, it may be another postponement.

Of course, this was what Hugo could have expected. The theme of this meeting was Galliani’s nomination of vice chairman. Everyone voted and approved. There was a compromise earlier. The matter went smoothly very quickly, and Matarese sat on the seat as he wished. became vice-president, the first person under Galliani.

The evening was everyone's activity space. Hugo invited Galliani to have dinner in the evening. This was agreed upon by everyone in advance, and Galliani came as promised.

"I plan to present the package sale plan I made at tomorrow's meeting!" Hugo said in a surprising way. He had not told Galliani about this beforehand, and it was clear that he wanted to force his way onto the stage.

Galliani was very angry, "You should tell me this first!"

"I told you, I said at the right time, I think the current time is very suitable!" Hugo said pretending to be surprised.

Galliani just wanted to say that I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen you so shameless, and you are always ready to make surprise attacks. Is this interesting? ! Is this interesting? !

"Gigi, this is not that simple!" Galliani said earnestly.

"I know it's not that simple! It's precisely because it's not simple that we should make a quick move and temporarily mess things up! If you think about it, if some thoughtful people know about it, there is a great possibility that this matter will go to waste!" Hugo said cheerfully.

Galliani fully understands what Hugo means. Currently, the national TV station is mainly responsible for the live broadcast. They are a national agency, and there are also political forces involved behind the scenes. If the national TV station reacts, they can continue to take action to bribe big clubs. , increase the contract of the big club. These small clubs in Italy have some interests with the big clubs. Maybe many small clubs will defect by then. Even if the package plan is adopted at present, the benefits obtained by the small clubs are limited. It might just double.

This summer, the national TV station bought the live broadcast rights of the World Cup at a high price. As a result, Italy went home after reaching the top 16. The national TV station suffered heavy losses. They did not expect the black whistle and the Italian people were extremely disappointed with this World Cup. They were disappointed. The target was the national team, but also FIFA. Italy was kicked out of the World Cup. As a result, the ratings of subsequent World Cup games in Italy plummeted, and the advertising revenue of national TV stations dropped sharply. This was the fundamental reason for their losses.

It is worth mentioning that the chairman of Perugia, Luciano Gauci, made another amazing move and kicked out the Korean player Ahn Jung-hwan from the team. The reason stated was that the Koreans are now in Italy. People call it a fight, but in fact, Ahn Jung-hwan is of no use to Perugia. He is not as brave in the club as he is in the national team. Secondly, Ahn Jung-hwan is not willing to return to Perugia. The two sides broke up before the contract was terminated.

After the loss, the national television station had to find a way to make up for the loss, so it applied the blood-replenishing plan to Serie A and Serie B. They tried to continue to squeeze small and medium-sized clubs, which made the already difficult TV broadcast contract even more difficult to complete.

"Then you want to convince me now?!" Galliani immediately took the commanding heights.

"You can think so too!" Hugo said with a smile.

"Then what reason did you use to convince me?!" Galliani said immediately.

"The reason is what I said before, Milan's new broadcast share will definitely not be less than it is now!" Hugo said seriously.

"Why are you so sure?!"

"Because I plan to cooperate with Feiningweest and New Media to establish a sports communication company, and this company will compete for the live broadcast rights of Serie A and Serie B!" Hugo replied cautiously.
