My name is Colani

Chapter 589 Heading to Athens

The entire Colani family was mobilized this time. Except for the grandfather, everyone else boarded a private plane to Athens.

They were not particularly interested in football at ordinary times, but now all family members became interested. Uncle Old Morek praised several juniors. If Hugo's other family members did not feel the benefits that the team brought to Trapani City or Province, Old Morek must have felt it very much.

For example, football has now become a specialty of Trapani Province. After Trapani's own stadium is built, people who come to Trapani for tourism will come in vain if they don't go to watch a game on site!

Hugo seemed very ambitious. He was a determined reformer. On the plane, Hugo told Morek another idea.

"We don't need to gather too many industries in our place. We are not a fishing village. There are enough fishing villages in Sicily. We are not missing one family! Uncle, people should have forward-looking thinking! What do you think of the future of Trapani?!" Hugo had to think about the population base issue when he was asked about the future of Trapani Club yesterday.

At present, no giant club exists without a big city. Hugo believes that these giant clubs are enjoying the population dividend of the city.

Unfortunately, Trapani does not have such a foundation. Hugo also believes that Trapani can become a big city with hundreds of thousands of people, but the imagination is beautiful, but it is difficult to implement. Don't get me wrong, the citizens of Trapani are not environmentalists, they only care about opportunities and income.

But even so, it is not enough to use technology and tourism as selling points, and Hugo has to admit some realities, such as the fact that the urban area of ​​Trapani is indeed very small and the space is limited.

"I think our future is pretty good! Because of you, many technology companies are willing to settle here, and the previous ideas are slowly being realized!" Old Morek replied.

"Have you ever thought about a serious problem? A few years ago, we were just a small fishing village, and now we have suddenly become a city of technology. Don't you think something is missing?!" Hugo asked.

The conversation between Hugo and Old Morek attracted everyone's attention. Alda and brother-in-law De Russo ran over!

What's missing? ! Old Morek couldn't think of anything anyway. Alda and De Russo were also thinking hard about what Hugo meant.

"Gigi, tell me, what's missing?!" Old Morek was the most enthusiastic. He just wanted to be a local emperor. If Hugo's idea was beneficial to consolidating his position, he would be happy to persuade the city council to implement it.

"Alda, Deni, why can Silicon Valley flourish in the United States?!" Hugo cast his eyes on the two most educated listeners.

"Because it has a cultural and educational foundation!" Alda thought for a while and confirmed his answer.

"Bingo!" Hugo snapped his fingers, "Uncle, in the final analysis, the foundation of Trapani's science and technology city is completely unreliable. It's no exaggeration to say that it's all because of my efforts and because we have many companies stationed here. However, if I go bankrupt one day, everything may become nothing. They can go somewhere else! Don't you think so!"

"I still don't quite understand!" Hugo really wanted to chop off his uncle's head to see if this pig head could be the mayor? ! And it still hasn't collapsed for several years? !

"Uncle, do you know Silicon Valley in the United States?! The most important reason why Silicon Valley can succeed is that there are many colleges and universities around it, which provides impetus for the development of Silicon Valley!" Alda explained.

"Oh, then I understand! You mean we want to build a university?! This is not an easy thing!" Old Morek didn't really understand and made a dirty joke!

Building a university is actually a very easy thing. The key is to attract students, that is to say, you have to attract students to come and study, otherwise what's the point of running a school? !

Hugo's current idea is that Trapani needs to establish education, and university education, so that Trapani Province can become a province of science, education and culture. Universities will not be fixed in Trapani City but will be built in other parts of the province. This will promote common development and reduce the pressure on the urban area of ​​Trapani. Some old buildings in Trapani City should not be destroyed.

"Why is it not easy! I am willing to contact the University of Bologna. I don't believe that I can't get things done with money?!" Hugo said.

"And doesn't grandpa always say that he wants to give back to the folks in his hometown?! I think our family can also do something about this matter. Our family can establish a private university!" Hugo said to his father and uncle.

"It's really not that simple! Let me ask you, what about the land? You can't even find a school site!" Old Morek was not making a dirty joke, he was talking about this.

"I don't believe that such a good thing has no support. Everyone is not a fool. It is very clear what is most beneficial and what is not!" Hugo was full of confidence.

Unlike Old Morek's pessimism, Hugo's father and uncle both expressed their support. This is very good for consolidating the social status of the Colene family. Why not do it? The university is not a one-day effort. Money must be spent, but it is not necessary to spend a lot of money at one time. They are capable of continuous supply.

...

With the arrival of the Champions League final, Athens has also gained a different kind of vitality. The stadium where the final will be held is the Athens Olympic Stadium. This is not a professional stadium, but a multi-functional comprehensive stadium. It was originally the main venue for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. The venue can accommodate nearly 70,000 spectators and is very large.

Tickets for the Champions League final are generally divided into three parts. UEFA takes part of the ticket itself, and the two final teams share the remaining tickets equally. Even if the stadium is large, it cannot hold the two teams' fans.

Milan has a wide range of fans all over the world. In Italy, they don’t have too many fans in the south. Trapani’s influence in the north is relatively small, but its influence in the south is great. After all, everyone has certain characteristics. regional concept.

Trapani just doesn't have much international influence. Thanks to Li Tie, there are quite a few fans in China.

A large number of fans rushed to Athens, some with tickets and some without tickets. Those without tickets hoped to buy scalper tickets on site.

The fans and the atmosphere of the Champions League made the city of Athens lively. Old Morek said to Hugo: "After your stadium is built in the future, you will also apply to host more such events in the future. This will have a great impact on our city." the benefits of!"

"Of course! Not only will we bid to host the Champions League final, I will also support Italy's bid to host the European Championship in the future, and we will become one of the competition venues!" Hugo laughed.

When Carraro was in office, he announced that he would bid to host the 2012 European Championships. Hugo was not optimistic about this story. This is also true. Italy was slow to act and the voice was not very loud. Berlusconi said he would support it, but Support is not that easy. Many venues in Italy are from the 1990 World Cup era. After the World Cup, these venues were leased to various Italian clubs as stadiums.

The repair and maintenance work of these stadiums has always been a troublesome matter for the government and the football clubs to argue with each other. The maintenance is not good, so the facilities are outdated and outdated, and many of them cannot meet the requirements stipulated by Pinuno. So if you really want to apply If it does, it means that the Italian government will have to spend a lot of money, or it will have to build a new stadium, which will cost even more.

Coupled with the Calciopoli scandal, there has been another period of violence on the pitch this season, which has seriously affected the image of Italian football. Although Hugo and others continue to whitewash it, this is indeed the case.

Therefore, hosting the European Cup is not as simple as Carraro said at the beginning. Italy has indeed been competing. However, in the UEFA executive committee vote in April this year, Italy only received four votes, losing to Poland and Ukraine. The combination lost the right to host the European Cup.
