My name is Colani

Chapter 47 Ronaldo is mine

The conditions of Trapani Club are not good, but Allegri and Toni can feel that the club's owner Hugo is at least trying to change some things. For the players, the stadium and training ground are closely related.

Trapani's stadium has been bare for a long time. Before Hugo took over, Trapani was on the verge of bankruptcy. How could there be money to make grass and the like? The players certainly don't like to train and play on it.

After Hugo accepted it, he allocated funds specifically for Giorgio to do it. The match with Palazzolo did not catch up with the use of real grass, but a few days later, Giorgio got real grass from Milan, which is specially used for football matches. The grade is worse than the grass of the Meazza Stadium, but it is already very good.

After it was delivered here, the club immediately started to hire workers to lay it. Not only that, it also hired two professional stadium caregivers to take care of the grass.

In addition to laying new turf in the stadium and maintaining the stands, Hugo also signed a contract with the family to buy a piece of land in the town of Pacheco, which is about 50 acres. The area can only be said to be average, but this place has an advantage, it is located right in front of the local reservoir in Pacheco, but the surrounding area of ​​Trapani is bare, and the environment is naturally not beautiful.

"Alas, the Chinese have a saying "If you want to be rich, have fewer children and plant more trees!" The environment here is really too bad!" Hugo sighed as he inspected the construction site outside the "training base".

Morek, Giorgio and Tony who followed were stunned. Allegri had little interest in this place, but Tony was different. He was a part-time financial director, and the money had passed through his hands. Besides, he was still young and might have to work here for many years. Of course, he cared about the development of the team.

Have fewer children and plant more trees to get rich? ! Are you kidding? Many people from Sicily have fled. There are no Sicilians in the United States, the North, and other European countries. The population is really not dense! Morek and Giorgio are locals, and they don't take Hugo's words seriously.

Of course, they don't want to see the bad environment here, but what can they do? The environment in Sicily has been like this for many years.

"In the future, the environment here must be improved. We must build it like the Coverciano base. In the future, the team will have a youth training team, and they will train here in the future. Since we are doing it, we must do it the best!" Hugo said.

"How much will it cost?!" Giorgio said that at present, the "training base" in Trapani is very simple. The players' dormitories, office buildings, gyms, and two training grounds are all equipped with artificial turf, which is much cheaper than professional turf. A large part of the 50 acres of land is vacant. The Coverciano training base is naturally different. As a training base for the national team, the conditions are undoubtedly top-notch. The turf is all professional football field turf, and maintenance requires a lot of money, not to mention other things such as swimming pools, restaurants, medical centers, etc.

"Haha, Giorgio, I dare not say anything else! I have plenty of money! When the time comes, we will build this place into a top training ground in Europe and even the world, better than the three northern bears!" Hugo laughed and boasted.

Morek thought to himself that you have money, but you are stingy. This construction site is constructed by me. Except for the materials, I don't pay for any labor. How dare you say that? !

Is there any need to talk about this training base at present? ! Hugo must have let his cousin take the blame, only paying for the materials, the labor costs, and the machinery usage costs are all sponsored by Morek. Fortunately, the project volume is not large, otherwise Morek will definitely not be happy. Even relatives have to settle accounts.

"Top?! Look at us now, it looks so simple!" Giorgio commented.

"You eat one bite at a time. I say, Giorgio, Trapani didn't even have a training ground at the beginning. Look, we have one now. This is an improvement, and we will continue to improve in the future! Hey, you didn't complain much before, but now you are full of complaints. Old man, don't be so greedy! With such good conditions, the team must fight for its reputation!" Hugo started to give spiritual chicken soup again.

"Beep beep beep!" Hugo's mobile phone rang. He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was from Seli.

"Look, Seli called. I tell you, he must have good news this time! I have locked in two young players. If we get them..., hehe, we will definitely dominate European football in the future!" Hugo smiled and turned on his mobile phone while talking to several people.

"Hello, Leo!"

"Are you in Trapani?! Okay, I'll meet you right away. Come to the team headquarters!" Seli didn't say it in detail on the phone. Hugo also wanted to hear Seli talk about whether the search for Messi and Ronaldo was going smoothly.

Taking the cigar thrown by Hugo, Sally sniffed it with his nose, "It smells like Cuban tobacco. I remember you don't smoke!"

"I don't smoke, but I bought some to pretend! At least it looks good, haha..." Hugo said with a smirk. He was frank with Sally.

Using the tools on Hugo's table skillfully, Sally started smoking, "Hmm, it tastes good!"

"Well, you must have brought me good news this time, right?!" Hugo said with a smile.

"Absolutely good news! Let's talk about Cristiano Ronaldo first. I met him in person. He is only 14 years old now, but he has shown very good talent and ability. I don't know where you heard it from. Although I personally think that the offer of 5 million US dollars is too high, I think he will definitely be worth more than this price in the future!" Seli blew a smoke ring.

"Then, how is he now?!" Hugo didn't want to listen to Seli's nonsense. If you were to tell me, I would have known that he was worth more than this price, otherwise I would have offered so much.

"His home is in Madeira Islands, Madeira Islands, do you know?! Gigi?!" Seli was not in a hurry to talk about Ronaldo slowly.

"How do I know? I only know that it must be Portugal, as for where I don't know!" Hugo shrugged.

"It's far away from the Portuguese mainland. It's said that it's as poor as Sicily. Cristiano's family conditions are not very good, but he joined the local team Madeira National Club when he was very young. But last year, he was acquired by Sporting Lisbon for 1,500 pounds!" Selli said here, and only heard "Fuck!".

"Fuck! If I had known this, wouldn't it have been cheaper to introduce him last year?!" Hugo stood up and shouted regret.

"Last year?! Gigi, it seems that you didn't have a team last year!" Selli said confusedly.

"It seems so!" Hugo sat back in his seat. At this time last year, he hadn't thought about having a team for fun.

"Then, is Sporting Lisbon willing to sell him?!"

"Why not? More importantly, I found Cristiano's agent, a small agent, Jorge Mendes, and told him that if he was willing to facilitate the deal, I would pay him 200,000 US dollars!" Selli said proudly.

"He agreed?!" Hugo asked a nonsense question.

"Yes, of course I also promised Cristiano that if he is willing to sign with Trapani, we can give him a salary of 100,000 US dollars a year from now on! The club has no reason not to let him go. Cristiano is under 18 years old and can leave at any time. But according to what you said, I don't want to make things difficult with their club. I reached an agreement with them and am willing to give them a transfer fee of 1.5 million US dollars, and then play for them for free before the age of 18, and then we are willing to give them another 1 million US dollars in training fees!" Seli's face is now full of smiles. What he cares about is that he has exceeded Hugo's mission goals.

"Here, this is the agreement!" Seli took out the preliminary agreement documents and the formal contract from his briefcase. According to convention, he knew that Hugo and others were not very clear about the player contracts. In the past, Kameni, Toni, and Allegri were all his responsibility, so he signed a preliminary agreement with Sporting Lisbon in Portugal. The formal contract needs to be signed by Trapani's general manager Giorgio.

Hugo took the document handed over by Seli and read it in detail. He asked some questions from time to time. Seli explained to him that the training fee was not so easy for Sporting Lisbon. Seli had stipulated in the contract that Ronaldo must play in the first team after he turned 16, and he must play no less than 20 times each season. The time for each game was stipulated and it could not be less than a certain number of minutes. The conditions were harsh. It was nothing more than fearing that Sporting Lisbon would cheat.

"2.5 million US dollars?! Haha, Sporting Lisbon is really stupid here!" Hugo laughed.

Seli was speechless for a while. He was not stupid. First of all, Ronaldo was too young. Who could tell clearly in the future? Secondly, he made a fortune in just one year. Compared with the Serie A, the players in the Portuguese league were almost cheap. This price could buy the absolute main force. What was wrong with that?

"Look, their general manager has signed it. Now we just need Giorgio to sign it, and everything will be done! Congratulations, Gigi, I think this is a good deal!" Selli said with a smile.

"It must be! By the way, what about Messi? I think what you told me should be good news, right?!" Hugo put down the documents and smiled happily.

"Well, Messi's situation is a bit problematic! He is ill! I'm afraid he is not suitable for playing football!" Selli said.

It's impossible. Messi is so awesome in the future, how can he not be able to do it now? ! Hugo couldn't believe what Selli said.

"He has a disease, dwarfism! I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to grow taller in the future, so I think it will be difficult for this child to play football in the future?!"
