My name is Colani

"Mr. Kenyon, I'll go back and discuss it with Luca!" Mogi replied to Kenyon that the first negotiation ended and the two sides agreed to meet again before Christmas.

After leaving the new headquarters in Trapani, Mogi said to the lawyer accompanying him: "What is Kenyon thinking?! What is Gigi thinking!"

He seemed very confused. When he called Hugo for the first time, Hugo said that you should just go to Kenyon and stay out of it, but Mogi didn't believe that Hugo would not care at all.

The accompanying lawyer suggested that it would be better to bypass Kenyon and talk to Hugo directly.

Mogi got in the car and took out his mobile phone to call Hugo.

Hugo saw Mogi's number and didn't want to answer it at all. He didn't know that Kenyon talked to Mogi about Tony today, but he could guess that Mogi would probably ask about Tony. After thinking about it, the phone vibrated for a long time, and Hugo still answered it.

As expected, Little Mogi was discussing Tony. He told Hugo about his meeting with Kenyon today in detail, and then asked Hugo bluntly, "Is what Kenyon said true? Do you want to keep Luca?!"

"Don't ask such nonsense! Of course I hope he stays! My hope is one thing, but I won't interfere with the communication between you and Kenyon. Whether you can reach an agreement is a matter for both parties! I believe Kenyon can handle this matter well!" Hugo said.

"You, it's useless to find me. Since I gave Kenyon a vote of confidence, you should go to talk to him. I think you will definitely find a consensus!" Hugo said again.

"What if you can't reach an agreement?! Are you going to let Luca go?!" Little Mogi asked.

"Why don't you talk to Peter first, talk seriously, and then talk about it after the talk?!" Hugo was a little annoyed. Just based on your attitude, you are going to break down the talks!

Moggi had no choice but to end the conversation with Hugo. Hugo never said the last word, and the result was still undecided. "Okay, damn it, don't blame me if the negotiation really breaks down. Blame that bastard Kenyon!"

...

Hugo was actually quite busy. He was not free. When Moggi called him, he was not in Trapani, but in Naples. It was not only for personal reasons that he brought his son to see his grandfather, but more importantly for business.

The organizing committee strictly implemented the strategy that whoever applied first and passed the review first would be eligible to get the hosting rights. The subprime mortgage crisis spread very quickly from the United States. Italian bankers kept their wallets. Fortunately, Hugo had been prepared, and the stadiums reported were not greatly affected. At present, the stadiums confirmed are Trapani's sea stadium, Milan's new stadium, Juventus' new stadium, Udinese's stadium, and another Atlanta's stadium.

The new stadium of Roma Club was originally used as one of the competition venues. Now Rosella wants to get rid of it. Although the bankers signed the agreement, after negotiating with Rosella, the two sides cancelled the loan agreement, and the new stadium naturally disappeared.

So Hugo is now facing a factual embarrassment. The number of stadiums really does not reach eight, but only five. Hugo's previous strategy of "we will report as many as we can" was not passed by UEFA. UEFA requires Italy to report eight stadiums.

It's embarrassing to say that Hugo is embarrassed, but it's not a very embarrassing situation. According to UEFA's requirements, the capacity of the European Cup venue must reach 40,000 people, but some of Italy's self-built stadiums have a capacity of only more than 20,000.

If the capacity is expanded, it will not cost too much, and many teams can afford it. The key is that the attendance rate of the European Cup is guaranteed, but the attendance rate of the league is not guaranteed. The sparse crowds are annoying, which is a waste of resources.

Hugo is confident that he can convince some teams. This is one of the ways to solve the problem of insufficient stadiums.

The second method is to follow Rossi's thinking and choose the city instead of the stadium. Rome, Naples and Palermo, which are not in the bidding list, have hosted the World Cup before. The stadium can be rebuilt, but the difficulty of this method is natural. Which city hall is willing to pay? No one is willing to pay!

As far as Hugo knows, the poor Palermo City Hall will definitely not repair the stadium. The mayor of Palermo told Hugo that since Sicily has Trapani's sea stadium in the list, it is not a shame for the fans in Sicily.

Naples has changed its direction recently and wants to host the European Cup. Among the southern cities, Naples has the strongest football atmosphere. The current political atmosphere in Naples is different from that in the north. Berlusconi is a member of the center-right faction, while Naples is the traditional sphere of influence of the left-wing party. Naples is an important city in the south. If it can obtain the right to host the European Cup and benefit the southern voters, it will be of great benefit to maintaining the advantage of political forces in the region.

Naples now has a big idea, and the important figures in the city hall and the city council have reached a consensus. So the female mayor of Naples, Ivanlino, found Bastien Bonaparte and invited Hugo to Naples through Hugo's father-in-law.

The San Paolo Stadium is not the property of the Naples Football Club, but belongs to the Naples City Hall. The City Hall does not need to discuss anything with De Laurentiis to decide whether to renovate the San Paolo Stadium to host the European Cup.

The reason why De Laurentiis took over the Naples Football Club was that he had money and wanted to play, and on the other hand, the original mayor of Naples asked him for help. De Laurentiis himself is a native of Naples.

But this guy is very different from Ms. Ivalino now. The reason is the São Paulo Stadium. The São Paulo Stadium is the same as the Barbera Stadium. It has been more than ten years now. Since a common feature of these cities in the south is poverty, there is no Money was needed for repairs, so conflicts arose.

This kind of conflict between the club and the city hall has happened with Hugo, Zamparini, and many teams in Serie A, so it is normal.

When interviewing Hugo this time, Ivalino knew that De Laurentiis and Hugo were not getting along at all. He simply didn’t bother to learn about De Laurentiis and directly called Hugo. If the bid can be successful, When it comes to paying for repairs, De Laurentiis needs to bleed. His team wants to use this stadium. According to the idea of ​​​​the city hall, De Laurentiis must bleed.

So in fact, fundamentally speaking, whether the Sao Paulo Stadium can get the funds to renovate or repair it has to be discussed separately. Ivanlino is just making the beginning of everything, and Hugo does not know about it.

When visiting the Sao Paulo Stadium, Hugo even joked, "Why doesn't that old dog De Laurentiis come to greet me?"

Ivanlino, why don't you say you don't want to see that old guy? We won't let him dazzle you!

In fact, Hugo is still undecided. It may not be difficult to convince some teams. For example, Genoa, they now share the same stadium with Sampdoria. Preziosi is now very close to Hugo. He wouldn't refuse too much if he asked for more loans.

The key is to look at the distribution of the current stadiums. The power of the north is too great. Except for Trapani, all the northern stadiums are there. Is this okay? ! At least Hugo found it a bit of an eyesore.

However, this decision was originally made by him. If it is really done according to geographical distribution, how can it stimulate the enthusiasm of other cities to support its own team? !

Now he turned over and slapped himself in the face again. Hugo was weighing whether his face was important or not. Rossi and the others must be happy because they could take the opportunity to publicly ridicule Hugo. Hugo's reputation would definitely be damaged.

The most terrible thing is that the stadiums decided earlier may be questioned and opposed. For example, Florence and Roma are qualified to speak out.

So no matter what Ivanlino said right now, Hugo just listened politely. The São Paulo Stadium was really not worth seeing. Hugo had been here before, and it was indeed quite bad.
