My name is Colani

Chapter 84: Digging is necessary

Ulivieri promised to find a coach for Hugo, but a month has passed, and three games have been played in the second half of the season, but no one has come. Hugo is embarrassed to call and ask. He doesn't think Ulivieri has forgotten. He would rather believe that he is slow in doing things and procrastinates. Being slow and lazy is a problem of Italians, and it can't be changed.

In contrast, Hugo thinks that sleeping until noon every day is not a bad habit! Good sleep is the guarantee of quality of life.

Except for the coach, everything else is pretty good. Hugo called Leonardo Celli at the end of January. The team not only needs to hire a coach, but also needs to find young talents and bring them here for training. Celli is one of the few scouts Hugo knows and trusts. He needs Celli's help now.

On Wednesday afternoon, he and Seli went to the Trapani training base. The current base is still under expansion, but it is nearing completion. Morek's work efficiency is still very high, and Hugo used the cash in his hand to upgrade the turf of the training ground again. The field was expanded to 5, and the turf was all covered with real grass.

"Look, Leo! Take a look! What do you think?!" Hugo was very proud of the team's training base he introduced.

Seli has not been here for a while, and now looking at this place really feels like a lifetime ago. Trapani had nothing before, but in just half a year, Hugo basically made it look good. Looking at this training base, Seli can be sure that no Italian team can be as good as Trapani now.

5 training grounds, as well as youth dormitories, restaurants, the club has an office building, basketball courts, gyms, etc. here.

"But you still lack an important department here, this department is indispensable!" Seli said after praising.

"What else is missing?!" Hugo asked in surprise. I think this is basically OK, what else is missing? !

"Missing a medical center! Gigi, your team can't be like before. Every time you play home and away, you have to ask the hospital doctor for help. You'd better set up a special medical center now! It can help the players at any time!" Seli pointed out.

Yes, Hugo suddenly realized! A medical center is necessary. We have to build one. We don't have to be as awesome as the three northern bears, but at least we can't ask doctors for help like before!

"You're right! I'll build it right away! We have limited conditions now and can't invite more professionals. At least we have to give the players the minimum medical guarantee!" Hugo nodded.

"You only have one team now, why do you need so many dormitories?!" Seli didn't know why Hugo asked him to come. He thought Hugo was planning for the next season and wanted to discuss the issue of signings with him.

"No, no, those dormitories are not for the first-team players! That's why I asked you to come! These dormitories are for the youth team players. If we want to become a big club, we can't just rely on buying players!" Hugo said.

Seli gave Hugo a thumbs up, "Gigi, you are definitely a very visionary boss! It's really best not to rely entirely on buying players to build the team. How should I put it? I think a team that relies solely on buying players lacks a spirit, the spirit of roots! The players you train yourself are the roots of the team!"

"Haha, I'm glad you said that! In fact, I think so too! Our first team needs to absorb talents from the youth team as soon as possible!" Hugo certainly didn't think so. Buying players or training in the youth team is the same for him. The key now is that he doesn't have much money.

"So I hope to build our own youth training academy now, but you know where there are good seedlings in our place! My plan is that the youth training academy will not only recruit players from Trapani and Sicily, but also from Italy and the world! And now the dormitory here is still empty, no one! You are most familiar with this matter, you have to help me!" Hugo gestured.

"Oh, I understand what you mean, this time you want some young people with potential to train yourself?!" Seli understood what Hugo meant.

Hugo snapped his fingers, "Correct, that's what I mean!"

"Excuse me, what are the advantages of your youth training camp compared to other teams?!" Seli asked with a smile.

Advantage? ! Advantage fart! Hugo certainly knows that his youth training camp has no advantage at all. The coaching level is high, which is not certain. What kind of talents Ulivieri will recommend, Hugo knows nothing.

And this is one of the places closest to Africa in Italy. Young players from the north are far away here. They are really children wandering outside! This is the geography of Italian football. Players are basically produced in the central and northern parts, and the proportion in the south is much smaller. The central and northern parts are the most developed areas for football. Children can join local teams as soon as they go out. Why go to Trapani, which is so far away? !

Even in the south, there are Naples, Palermo, Catania, Bari and Messina. They all have youth training. Trapani can't compete with them!

"Ahem, there is definitely no advantage, but the future is bright!" Hugo said hesitantly.

"It's hard to recruit players without advantages. People will definitely trust the old and proven youth training camps rather than the newly built youth training camps like ours! So even if I want to do you a favor, I'm afraid it's hard to help! Recruiting young players is not a transfer transaction. We can negotiate the price and use money to attract them! Will you give them money?!" Seli laughed. Now the young players in the major youth training camps and schools do not have salaries. Some youth training camps even require money to enter the training. Only those with outstanding talents will be given youth contracts and salaries in advance by the club, but the salary is also very little, basically just enough to make a living!

Those who are not talented should go back to where they should go!

"Yes, why can't I give money?! I can give money! I give money! I will give money!" Hugo shouted, as if inspired by Seli's words.

"Are you crazy?! How can you do this?!" Seli thought to himself that I was just joking, but you actually took it seriously. Don't you know the consequences of doing this? !

"Why can't I do this?! You're right, we can't compare with them now, but I, Gianluigi Pasilio Colani, am willing to spend money! If they are willing to join us, I will pay them salary every month!" Hugo shouted.

"Brother, you can't do this! Do you really not know the consequences of doing this?!" Seli asked with a bitter face.

"What are the consequences?! I do my own thing. Young players are potential stocks. Those who pay the highest price will get them. Those who don't have money can get out of the way!" Hugo said viciously.

"You know that clubs nowadays don't pay salaries to young players. On the contrary, in some famous youth training camps, young players even have to pay to train. And you are now paying salaries to young players in defiance of the world! Think about it, what will happen if other teams know that you are doing this?! First, they may sue you. We face endless lawsuits, and poaching like this may be sanctioned. Second, if the relationship with them is bad, how will we face each other in the future? It will be very difficult for you to buy players from them again! Especially since we are a small club, we really need to cooperate with them. Unlike big clubs, which are full of attraction, small and medium-sized clubs sometimes have to choose to give in and cooperate with them." Seli explained to Hugo carefully. Anyway, the general idea is that poaching like this is not advisable.

Hugo understood. It's not enough for me to pay a little salary, and I have to cause trouble? ! But I can't not poach. This is a century-long plan, and I have to do it!

"Leo, I don't know if there is something you are interested in?!" Hugo changed the topic quickly.

"What's the matter?!" Seli asked excitedly. He didn't have any discomfort. Hugo was just like that.

"Look at my team. We are still lacking a manager in charge of transfers. You know we are very inexperienced in this area, but you are very experienced. You have helped me a lot in the past six months. I want to ask you if you are interested in being the transfer manager of the team?!" Hugo recruited.

"But you have to think carefully. Our team is small now. Your salary will not be very high, and there are a lot of things to do. This is more restrictive than being a scout! But I can tell you for sure that your income will definitely be better than that of a scout in the future! You are my friend, I hope you can think it over! Of course, I really hope you can focus on my team!" Hugo made a sincere invitation, "You don't have to give me an answer now. Think about it carefully during the two days you are in Trapani and give it to me!"

"Gigi, this is a bit sudden. I really didn't expect you to give me such an arrangement! But I am very honored! Haha, although you have a bad temper, I know you are a good boss!" Seli actually talked about Hugo's bad temper.

"Because I'm generous?!" Hugo added.

"Haha! You're so smart! Gigi!" Sally laughed. A generous boss is a good boss. An ungenerous boss is not a good boss no matter how good he is. Old hands know that this is where Sally really approves of Hugo.

"But I really need to think about this! You know my current job is very free and of course very busy, but I enjoy this kind of life! I'm really not sure if I should make a change!" Sally said seriously.
