My name is Colani

The news that Italy won the right to host the European Cup spread to China. Although the Italian national team is currently in a poor position in the European Cup, the victory of the right to host the Italian football team felt happy, so that the Italian national team won the first round of the subsequent knockout rounds. The commotion caused by being kicked out of Spain was diluted a lot.

In the early morning of the 22nd, Italy and Spain were the coach of the quarter-finals at the Ernst Hapoel Stadium in Vienna, Austria. In this game, Donadoni finally returned to the Italian tradition and focused on defense, starting from the third group match. He had to start to become pragmatic, and the result looked good. The same was true for this game. Italy put up the iron barrel formation that they were good at. Spain had a comprehensive advantage in all offensive statistics, but at 120 There is no way to defeat Italy within minutes.

However, in the penalty shootout, Italy lost to the Matador Legion 2:4, and Italy went home. Donadoni said at the post-match press conference, "A player hinted to me before the game that he did not want to be the first to kick the ball." In fact, we also practiced penalty kicks before the game, but unfortunately some players still failed to score. "

In fact, he wanted to express his unwillingness to lose, and it was a bit of a shirk of responsibility. This was not interesting, and it aroused Hugo's great disgust. Back in Italy, "Gazzetta dello Sport" quickly found out the truth. , the person Donadoni was talking about was Piero.

As we all know, Hugo expressed his appreciation for Piero more than once. He liked Piero very much. In addition, Donadoni was suspected of shirking responsibility. Hugo took the lead in attacking Donadoni in the media.

"Donadoni seems to be shirking responsibility. The responsibility for losing does not lie with these players. The main players from two years ago are still there, but the gap in the championship is too big. It is undeniable that the team's strength has declined, but many Nadoni is the culprit and he should bear 70% of the responsibility!”

"If there is a player who refuses to take a penalty kick, I think any of us should respect the player's intention, because each of us has our own weaknesses. Not everyone can withstand huge psychological pressure. The problem is not the players, but It's the coach. Mr. Donadoni complained that some players didn't want to take penalty kicks. What do you mean? It's just a shirk of responsibility!"

Hugo's column on the "New Sports" website simply attacked Donadoni and did not say anything about it. However, other media criticized Donadoni in all aspects, from selecting and employing people to arranging troops. From formation to team management, Donadoni seems to be useless in everyone's eyes.

Rossi is a shrewd guy. The national team has just returned to China. After Rossi and Donadoni's interview, the Italian Football Association stated that it would not renew Donadoni's contract and Donadoni would resign automatically when the contract expired.

After Lippi left, the Italian Football Association invited Donadoni with a two-year contract, which meant that this year was the last year of Donadoni's contract. Before the Italian national team went to the European Cup this year, in early June, The Italian Football Association negotiated a two-year preliminary contract with Donadoni. The two-year preliminary contract was actually forced by Donadoni. He had always hoped to renew the contract with the Italian Football Association, but Rossi did not agree.

The condition for triggering the preparatory contract is that Donadoni must lead the team to at least enter the semi-finals. As a result, Donadoni has not achieved it now, and the preparatory contract is naturally not established. Therefore, his departure can also be regarded as an automatic departure after the contract expires. .

There are also voices criticizing Rossi, but under his leadership, Italian fans are not happy to see him step down. Hugo also said that we still have to start and finish. Mr. Rossi has always been making preparations, and he should be able to do it well now .

But Hugo didn't expect that the preparations for this matter would be found on his head. Just two days after the end of the national team's journey, Hugo was summoned by Berlusconi to go to Rome. Berlusconi said to Hugo: "Gigi , your organizational skills are very good, you should be the chairman of the European Cup Organizing Committee! Well, this is everyone’s request!”

If the bid for the European Cup is successful, this is no longer a matter for the Football Association, but a major political matter in Italy. The Football Association can only be a small minion in it at best, and the government and the Olympic Committee will get involved in this matter.

After hearing Berlusconi's request, Hugo was stunned. Would Italian politicians miss such an opportunity? ! But after thinking about it, he thought it was a good thing. He just happened to live a life of great power. He never thought that Berlusconi had ulterior motives. He didn't say that Italy was poorer than Italy and had no money, so he just asked Hugo to pay for it. Well, it's hard to say this, but Berlusconi knows that Hugo has always been enthusiastic and eager to strengthen Italian football.

This time, Hugo was actually plotted against him. By the time Hugo knew it, the heavy responsibility of being the chairman of the organizing committee had already been placed on his shoulders, so he could only bite the bullet.

A few days later, Hugo was appointed, and suddenly he got his first public position in Italian football, chairman of the 2012 Italian European Cup Organizing Committee, Football Association Chairman Rossi and Olympic Committee Vice Chairman Pescante. , Olympic Committee Chairman Pescant is an old man who looks very amiable, but it is said that he is not as amiable as he seems and is difficult to get along with.

But who is Hugo? Since I have been appointed as the chairman of the organizing committee, he must listen to me. Hugo regards the organizing committee as the Trapani Football Club and must listen to him in everything. Within a few days, everyone will A conflict occurred.

The cause of this matter has to start with the competition venue. When UEFA determines the host country, it does not need the host country to submit the city where the event will be held in a timely manner. However, this has a time limit, and the host country must be within the limited time limit. Report the host city and stadium.

Only a few cities in Italy are willing to host such an event, which cannot meet the requirements because local governments are unwilling to bear the cost, which is very expensive. The central government funding is a drop in the bucket for them. In the spirit of doing more, it is better to do less. , no one signed up.

However, later, under the mediation of Hugo and others, the pressure for stadium construction was cleverly transferred to the clubs, which started a revolution in Italian football. The local governments completely changed their attitude. Everyone wanted to fight for this quota. There were only eight quotas. Trapani already has one because of its innate advantages. Their stadium is ready-made and is known as the seven-star stadium in European football. In addition, Hugo has spent money and efforts to bid for the European Cup. Everyone can understand the benefits of this.

There are only seven left, and the competition is fierce. Then the question becomes, who will win. According to Rossi and Pescant, there should be several big cities in Italy, such as Milan in the north, Rome, the capital, and important towns in the south. Naples and others should be included as host cities.

But Hugo didn't do much. He overturned their ideas. Hugo's idea was another matter. Whoever raises the funds first can declare it. If there is no financial backing, he only has to pass the local city council's decision. That's not possible with a plan.

Hugo did this for two reasons. The first aspect was that he foresightly knew that something big was going to happen in the world in September. The subprime mortgage crisis was going to break out in the United States, triggering a global economic crisis. Italy would inevitably be affected, and the economy was already in decline. However, if there is an economic crisis, it will be difficult for the team to obtain a loan. Only by first securing the funds and signing the loan agreement can the team obtain the loan. First, they must ensure that the bank that lends the loan will not collapse in the economic crisis. . Another aspect is the issue of construction period. These teams that can get funds early must be active members, and the construction period can be guaranteed. If other teams are chosen, if the construction period issue delays the European Cup, it will be a big deal. His team The chairman of the committee is clearly incompetent.

"Why should the venue be determined based on the status of the city? It makes no sense. We want fairness! We must treat all cities equally, whether it is the north or the south, whether it is the capital or a local area, we are talking about fairness!" Hugo said plausibly.
