My name is Colani

Chapter 53 Two stingy brothers

Mendes pretended not to hear, looked at Hugo and then kept silent about the matter. Hugo felt strange, what was wrong, it seemed that Mendes didn't like this topic very much.

He thought wrong. It was not that Mendes was unwilling to talk about this topic, but that he was unwilling to talk about it in front of Ronaldo.

After the two of them saw off Ronaldo and Mendes drove Hugo to the hotel, Mendes said: "We'd better not talk about his family in front of Cristiano!"

"Cristiano's family background is not good. His father, Dinis Abello, is a retired veteran. Her mother, Dolores, is an orphan. She married his father at a very young age. They raised four children. The child’s living situation was very bad before, and Cristiano was almost aborted by his mother because she couldn’t afford it!”

Hugo had no idea that the family situation of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was famous in his previous life, was so bad.

"Honestly, the reason why I accepted your offer was money. You can pay Ronaldo a high salary every year. He can earn so much money at such a young age, which can help his family! His father is an alcoholic and addicted to alcohol! So Mr. Colleni, if you say you are willing to provide them with a job, at least forget about his father! But I can ask his mother, saying that the salary you give Ronaldo every year is enough. They live!" Mendes explained why he did not answer in front of Ronaldo.

"Cristiano has great self-esteem and is very strong. Mr. Colaini, he will definitely work hard to prove himself. Not only is he worthy of your offer for him, but he will also prove that he can become a good player in the future!" Mendes continued.

Hugo smiled bitterly, I didn't expect Ronaldo's family environment to be so bad!

"Jorge, do you know what the Chinese have a saying?! When heaven is about to entrust a great task to a man here, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles, starve his skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. So Perseverance and perseverance can achieve what you can't do! This means that those who achieve great things have to go through hardships when they are young. I think Ronaldo will succeed in the future after experiencing such an environment! Pele and Maradona are not all from the slums. Are you coming out?" The plot couldn't stop the car, and Hugo started to recite the middle school Chinese textbook again.

It's a pity that Mendes, despite his cuteness, couldn't understand the Chinese passage recited by Hugo, so he nodded and said yes while driving.

On the afternoon of November 7th, Trapani Stadium, the seats of about 5,000 people were already fully occupied. Today was a home game against neighbor Marsala, and it was the highlight of the Trapani group, because Marsala Currently ranked second, Marsala is in very good form this season and is only 2 points behind Trapani, who is ranked first. However, if Trapani wins this game, the gap between the two sides will be high. The score difference will reach 5 points, which is a great boost to Trapani's morale.

Most of the people who came to the scene were residents of the town and Trapani people. Some people were not interested in this local team three months ago, but now Trapani's outstanding record has undoubtedly made it so. The locals are gradually falling in love with the club. In the last three home games, the stadium has been full. Some people even stood on the roof of the opposite building to watch the game, and some people rode on the fence to watch the game.

"Hugo would be very happy if he saw this scene. He would never have imagined that our locals support us so much now!" Giorgio said to Morek happily after not seeing such a grand occasion for many years.

"Yeah, what is a team without fans like? A team with fans is a team. We are rooted here. Not many people came to watch the previous games, which is really a loss of face!" Morek smacked. Smack Bar commented, "It's a pity that we don't charge tickets. If we sold tickets, hehe, we would make a lot of money!"

Morek exclaimed that it was a pity that the team's performance was poor and not many people paid attention to it. So in order to attract fans, Giorgio of course suggested that it be better to save money on the ticket money. Speaking of which, you charge money, which is not very generous. Who from Pani comes to see?

When Hugo founded the team earlier, it was not for the fans, but for his own entertainment. It didn't matter the money. Giorgio said he wouldn't take it, okay, so don't take it. Who would have thought that the current situation is so popular.

"It's a pity. How many people will come to watch if we charge money now?! The price is only one euro per game!" Giorgio also looked regretful.

"I guess there won't be much left!" Based on his understanding of the locals, Morek knew that even if one dollar specifies that these guys would be willing to get drunk rather than buy tickets to watch the game.

Giorgio also understood this situation and had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​selling tickets. Fortunately, Hugo didn't seem to care much about the ticket price. Just watch it for free. This can be regarded as doing something good for the folks. There are not many entertainment activities in Trapani, a remote area, and watching football is also a good way to relax.

"Marsala is the team's thorn in the side!" Morek said about today's opponent. He didn't know that without Marsala, there would have been no Trapani now. If it hadn't been for Trapani, After being humiliated by Marsala, Victor and the others would not mind their own business and conflict with Bruni and others, so they would not have the idea of ​​forming their own team.

"But it's different now! I think they will get a defeat here today! You know what odds they gave for this game, our odds of winning are only 1 to 1.21, tell me how optimistic everyone is about us now!" Giorgio said with a proud smile, the "they" he mentioned were not a serious bookmaker, but an underground bookmaker in Palermo.

The home and guest locker rooms in Trapani are very simple. If the environment is a little quieter, the home team locker room can fart and the guest locker room and referee lounge can hear it. Fortunately, Hugo only spent one home game here, otherwise he would make a lot of jokes here.

He skipped class. Whether it was Allegri or Toni who spoke in the locker room, it was much more normal. As for another important figure in the team, Victor, he was a very serious person in the team. He was not a naughty guy, and he didn't think that he was the first, so he never participated in the team's pre-match and post-match speeches.

But today's situation is a bit special. Hugo, who has been away for a long time, is cheering everyone up over the phone!

"Marsala, our neighbor! They gave us painful memories last season. Hehe, many of you came from last season! Today they came to our home court. I want to ask you if you still remember last season?!"

"Today is a good opportunity to avenge the shame! If you win this game, I will come back to treat you! If you can't win this game, don't blame me for being ruthless. Deducting money is a must! No matter what method you use, I just want this victory! Let them know that Trapani is no longer the opponent of last season. Tell them that we are about to rise strongly in Sicily!"

Hugo's pre-match mobilization was not long, just these two sentences, but it was the first time that the matter of deducting money was brought up. Trapani's players were frightened again. Hugo would not joke around. No one wanted to be deducted money. Toni and Allegri had higher incomes, but it didn't matter to others. They needed money, and deducting a little would be like killing themselves!

At that moment, everyone responded loudly that winning was a must, and Marsala must be won today no matter what.

Hugo put down the phone with satisfaction. He really wanted to beat his opponent, but not because he was a neighbor, but because of the painful last season. What did he care about last season? He cared about this 6-point game, which could further widen the gap and lock in the promotion quota for next year as soon as possible. Now it is only the middle stage. The earlier the advantage is established, the easier it will be in the second half. If Marsala wins at this time, it will definitely be the best result for Marsala. They will be more confident to fight with Trapani and compete for the first place in the group. For Trapani, it will not be such a wonderful result. Maybe morale will drop, the state will decline, and finally it will be a waste of time. This is not impossible.

That's why Hugo attaches so much importance to this game, so he called everyone to mobilize before the game. He never did this in the previous games!

In fact, his speech was somewhat redundant. Marsala was only in excellent form this season, but there was still a big gap between its own strength and Trapani. With the cheers of 5,000 fans of the home team, Trapani performed well. Even though Marsala's resistance was very tenacious, Trapani still gave Marsala a defeat with a score of 3:0.

After the game, Victor called Hugo immediately and told him that the team won the game. Hugo, who had some money in his hands, became generous again. He not only promised to have a meal, but also said that he would give each player an additional reward of 2,000 US dollars.

"Just fulfill your promise, what bonus!" Victor complained quietly on the other end of the phone, "There are 28 people in the team, and 2,000 US dollars per person is more than 50,000 US dollars, which is enough to buy a good player when we are promoted to the C1 League!"

"Wow, Victor, I didn't expect that you have an economic mind now!" Hugo gave a thumbs up on the phone.

"But money is not a problem. You may not know one thing. I transferred part of my company's equity and got 30 million US dollars in cash, so I have money again now. However, you are absolutely right. When I heard that the total cost is more than 50,000 yuan, I felt heartbroken. I'd better go back and treat everyone to a meal!" Hugo said with a smile.
