My name is Colani

Chapter 336 64. Selling and buying people

Trapani's business development director Tommaso Tullio has been trying to come up with such an idea in the previous stage. Through his active operation, American and Chinese sports companies have invited Trapani to play friendly matches. The American offer is higher, but Hugo is emotionally more willing to choose China.

Of course, he can go to both invitations, but Hugo thinks Zeman may not agree. After all, everyone knows that such a money-making action is not necessarily beneficial to the preparation for the new season, and Trapani's new season journey will start early, and they will play in the Champions League play-offs.

Since Hugo said that he has no money, people really can't get to the bottom of it. The next performance time is Zeman's. Regarding the team's tactics and the team's players, the reporters asked a lot of questions, and Zeman answered them one by one.

The press conference of the new coach lasted for two hours before it ended. After the press conference, the reporters finally enjoyed a good treat. At noon, the Trapani club invited them to lunch.

Zeman entered the work role quickly. In the afternoon, Zeman, Hugo, Seli, Giorgio and other club executives held a meeting to make some plans for the transfer market. Zeman did not clearly say what tactical arrangements he would take at the press conference, but he still wanted to play 433, a more offensive formation and tactical play.

Playing 433, what needs to be reduced is the central defender. At present, Trapani already has several central defenders, so there is no need to recruit. The lack is in the wing.

Ribery didn't get it until the game at the end of the season. He is still not a person who deserves too much trust. At least Zeman doesn't trust his ability very much. At the afternoon meeting, he clearly submitted his list of recruits. Two wingers need to be introduced.

Two very strong wingers, one on the left and one on the right, need a front midfielder to substitute for Miku. Mauri and others have been proven to be useless. A midfielder is needed to substitute for Pizarro's position.

There is no need to recruit full-backs. This summer, the Italian Football Association has new regulations. Good news, there are two quotas for non-EU players. Trapani will take back Maicon from Guingamp, and then introduce another non-EU player.

There are two candidates for full-backs on each side, which is enough.

Zeman's idea was recognized by Hugo, but the operation is difficult. Two high-level wingers, a midfielder, and a front midfielder, where is it so easy to find? ! And they have to be good, this fucking 50 million euros is not enough to buy.

Besides, Zeman is a little confused. Trapani still has a position to recruit, that is, the goalkeeper position. Kameni's substitute should be a better level.

Hugo approved it, but Giorgio and Seli were not happy. Don't you, the old man, claim to have trained countless young talents? !

Ribery is in the team. Is it necessary to introduce another winger? ! Introduce one, Pepe can be a substitute and can play on the left and right!

There are also Mauri, Zabaleta, and Padoin. There are so many people, why do we have to go to the market to find them?

This is another evil result of Hugo. He is not used to rotation. Some players in the first team played very few times last season and their growth rate was relatively slow. Mauri, Zabaleta and others got too few opportunities. Even Grosso played very few times. It is no wonder that Zeman has a deep sense of doubt when he has never seen the growth results of these people. After all, he wants to achieve results, and he can't do without signings.

There were no major conflicts in the afternoon meeting. After all, Zeman was in a stable position under the strong support of Giorgio and Seli. Both sides were relatively restrained, but the result did not come out.

After Zeman left, Seli pointed at Zeman's request and said, "We can't do it at all! We only have so much transfer funds, and it's impossible to meet his requirements! Mr. Zeman obviously forgot that our invitation is not just because of his tactical ideas!"

Inviting Zeman is definitely not just for tactical ideas, but a considerable part of them are attracted by Zeman's ability to train young people, hoping that Zeman can rely on young people to conquer the world, and the club can invest heavily in certain positions.

For example, introducing a winger and a midfielder can cost 20 to 30 million, but there are only two people.

Zeman's requirements are two more, and the money is so much, the quality is certainly not guaranteed. Even if everyone knows that there are many parallel imports in the real world, the truth that you get what you pay for is unchanged.

"Sell people! Raise money!" Hugo thought for a while and said calmly, "The team's lineup must be upgraded, and we can't rely on last year's lineup to conquer the world again!"

"Is this the result of your careful consideration?!" Giorgio widened his eyes. You know, at the press conference at the end of the season, Hugo said that he would try his best to keep the existing personnel of the team and didn't want to sell people. I didn't expect that he would change his mind so quickly.

"Of course, there are many people in the team who don't have the ability to stay in the team. Keeping them will also delay them! Let me think about it!" Hugo sat down and started writing names in his notebook.

Emotionally, Hugo certainly didn't want to leave. Many people in the team were old servants, but rationally, the team needed to upgrade, and selling people to change blood was inevitable.

The first name was Piolo. Hugo didn't want to sell Piolo, but he wanted to leave. He will join the amateur team Pacheco. This has been confirmed.

The second name is Mauri. Stefano Mauri got too few opportunities under Hugo. He is now 24 years old and there is no need to continue to train him.

The third name is Pepe. Pepe has a chance this season, but his performance is a bit abnormal. When he comes on the bench, he rarely has a brilliant performance. Hugo has lost patience with him. This veteran has to be reluctantly let go.

The third name is Padoin. Padoin is younger, but his characteristics are not distinct. You can't say what's wrong with him. He is a versatile player. After writing down Padoin, Hugo struggled for a long time and crossed out his name. Such a player can actually be kept as a substitute for the team.

The fourth name is Natali. Natali has a chance. He has played nearly 20 times this season, but Natali himself is definitely not satisfied. At the end of the season, he expressed his desire to leave to Hugo. Udinese is interested in him.

After writing the names, Hugo handed the list to Giorgio and Seli. After reading it, the two felt that Hugo's list was fine, but these players could not raise much money, but at least they had it, and maybe they could meet Zeman's requirements.

"Anyway, let's do it first! Move quickly, let's try to complete the transfer before the team training, and give Zeman enough time to get used to each other!" Hugo concluded.

Hugo didn't just let it go, he called Pozzo in the evening, yes, to recommend his own players. Given the good relationship between the two, Hugo naturally looked at Udinese first to see if there was any demand!

Messina is a closer partner, but Messina is in Serie B, and can't get much money, and the players may not be willing to go. Udinese is more reliable, and their reputation of being good at cultivating young people is good for players.

"What?! Simone Pepe!" Pozzo was immediately interested. Hugo's call was a bit coincidental, and Udinese had its eyes on Simone Pepe.

"Tell me how much he is?! Gigi, we are old friends too, you won't forget that I gave you Pizarro half a year ago, and he played a big role for you!" Pozzo began to make friends.

"You also took 8 million euros from me!" Hugo laughed unceremoniously.

"You get what you pay for. You know Pizarro is worth more than that!" Pozzo responded.

Pizarro was indeed too cheap at 8 million, and Trapani was indeed getting a great bargain. Hugo couldn't say anything.

"Tell me first, how much do you want to give?!" Hugo asked.

"How about 2 million euros?!" Pozzo thought about it. In his opinion, this was a fair price.

In fact, the price seemed to be about the same, but Hugo couldn't agree. The two of them were arguing like street vendors. One said that the price was about the same, and the other said that you had to add a little bit anyway.
