Chapter 159: A Trip to Milan 1

Needless to say, the players were overjoyed because Hugo had made good on his promise at the dinner and gave everyone a promotion bonus in an amount that everyone was happy with.

The next day Hugo gave it to Marina. Silvio Berlusconi made a phone call, and he had an idea that the management of Trapani had not seen much of the world, and Hugo wanted to take them with him when he wanted to go to Milan, and he would visit Milan to see what the big clubs were like.

Marina. Berlusconi was not very interested in football, but it was Hugo's request, which was not a difficult task for her, she agreed, and gave Hugo Galliani's phone number to Hugo, telling Hugo that Galliani would contact him.

Galliani is considered to be Marina's uncle, when Berlusconi entered Milan, Galliani followed him into the club's management, and has always been Berlusconi's right-hand man. Silvio Berlusconi is the man in power, and Galliani is the one who can call the shots when it comes to Milan club affairs.

Of course, Marina's face Galliani is even an elder, so he can't help but give, for him to learn from the Trapani Club is a small case, received Marina's request, Galliani readily agreed, and soon called Hugo, and agreed that Hugo could go over on May 9, and he would receive him in person at that time.

Whether it is Galliani personally received or not, Hugo doesn't care, of course, Galliani's statement makes Hugo look down on him, after all, he is a long-sleeved dancer who has been in the football world for more than 20 years.

On the afternoon of May 9, Hugo arrived at Linate Airport with Cellly, Giorgio, Victor, Moreke, Lu Fan and several others, and Galliani arranged a special car to pick up Hugo and them, and took them to the pre-arranged hotel, where Galliani was already waiting for them.

"Hello! Mr. Galliani! Nice to meet you! Hugo held out his hand, "I'm Gian Luigi. Pasilio. Colenny! ”

"Haha, I don't need to introduce you, you and I know each other, I've seen you on TV! You're a celebrity! Galliani held out his hand and smiled.

"This is our general manager, Giorgio. Esposito, this Leonardo. Sailly, our head of transfers, this is my cousin's assistant manager of the club, Alessandro Alejandro. Morek, this is my brother, the president of the club, Victor. Pasilio. Colani, this is my friend Lu Fan! Hugo introduced Galliani in turn.

Galliani shook hands with everyone very politely and smiled, he knew Hugo, but he didn't know anyone else, but he smiled secretly when he heard the introduction, Trapani is completely a family business, look at the two brothers in this high-level!

When he shook Victor's hand, Victor was very excited, he was a Milan fan!

"I'm so excited to meet you! I am happy! I'm so proud! Victor grabbed Galliani's hand with both hands like big tongs and said loudly, "The glory of Milan is made by you!" I applaud you! ”

Seeing Victor's incoherent speech and a flattered look, Hugo wanted to say that you sister, don't be surprised if you don't know it, you are a Milan fan, but you can't do it.

Galliani tried to pull out his hand with a bitter face, because Victor's hand was so strong that it hurt to hold Galliani.

Victor was still complimenting Galliani, and Hugo coughed and exclaimed, "Alright, alright, Victor, you have made Mr. Galliani's hand hurt!" Look at Mr. Galliani's face, how ugly! ”

"Really?!" Victor quickly let go of his hand.

Galliani quickly laughed, "It's okay, it's okay!" Mr. Colani, I dare not take your praise seriously, the team's achievements are all due to Mr. Berlusconi! Without him, there would be nothing about Milan! ”

"That's right, that old guy didn't do anything good, but he did a great thing in Milan!" Victor said as if talking to himself.

Galliani has a black line, what the hell is this eldest lady called!

However, what made Galliani even more desperate was that the younger brother of the big Mr. Colani also echoed: "Victor, I'm glad that you analyzed Mr. Berlusconi so dialectically, this is correct, Berlusconi first, well, being prime minister is really not a success, it is still okay to do business!" ”

"Ah, Mr. Galliani, don't be angry! Let's just talk about things, no malice! You can take it as a joke, a good-natured joke! Hugo didn't wait for Galliani to say anything unpleasant, and immediately turned his face to Galliani and said with a grin.

Galliani was not as rude as the Colleni brothers, and said angrily: "No, I won't be angry, but it's not very friendly to talk about Mr. Berlusconi like that!" ”

"You're right, we should be a little more disciplined on other people's territory!" Hugo said to Victor with a grin.

Everyone around them held back laughter.

"Mr. Galliani, let's stop laughing! I admire you the same as Victor, and my respect for you comes from the heart! The Milan club is standing on the top of the Alps, and we Trapani are now just above sea level! You are a great god, we are a little demon! It is true that Silvio Berlusconi has contributed a lot to the glory of Milan, but you are also a great contributor to Milan's glory in my mind! You have a lot of experience in club management that we can learn from, and I hope you will give us advice! Hugo reverted to a serious attitude, but his words still held Galliani high.

Even if the Colleni brothers don't seem to be very interested in Berlusconi, they have a very high respect for Galliani in their words, and it is not easy for the veteran "dogleg" Galliani to continue to have a cold face.

"Mr. Coleny, you're so polite!" Galiani said with a polite smile.

"Mr. Galliani, you are our uncle, since Victor and I respect you very much! Don't be so outlooked, call me Gigi or Hugo! Hugo smiled, Galliani is still capable, and he is not bad at dealing with people, Hugo does appreciate him more.

"Well, Gigi, if you need help, I still have some connections in the football world, and I'm willing to help you! If you're a good friend of Marina, you're my friend! You are free to see any part of Milan for these two days, Milanello, headquarters, stadium! Galliani immediately said.

"Thank you so much!" Hugo said he was grateful for the fact that it is important to learn from the experience of others, especially in terms of management, Milan can not only rely on the players, but more importantly, the management of the team.

Team management is very important in the club, and when the team is in turmoil at the top, the team's results are not good, and even the best players can achieve good results with poor management.

Hugo wasn't the first day of contact with football, and that's clear.

Maybe because Hugo was a "friend" of Marina, Galliani was really interesting, and invited Hugo and them to dinner together in the evening.

At dinner, Galliani talked about the history of Milan, the past and the future, Milan was previously coached by Zaccheroni, Zaccheroni started in Udinese, and later came to Milan by Galliani to coach, the first season was still brilliant, they won the Serie A championship, but the second season was not good, and now the third season is even worse, the results in the league are not good, the Champions League was out of the second round of the group stage, Milan had to kick him away for the sake of results, and the current firefighting coach is Cesar. Maldini, the coach of Italy at the '98 World Cup.

After the elder Maldini took over Milan, Milan's results were still tepid and did not improve much.

Galliani's words are full of memories and memories of the Three Musketeers era, he very much wants Milan to return to that peak, but the current Milan is not the same as back then, not better than Juventus, Lazio, Roma, or the same city rival Inter Milan, their strength is inferior, of course, the pot of bad results should not be carried by Zaccheroni alone, Milan's management is also responsible, and the performance in the transfer market is not very good.

Galliani's words revealed his admiration for Turkish coach Trim, Turkish Trim is one of the few Turkish coaches who can gain a foothold in the five major leagues, he led Galatasaray to the quadruple last season, and was selected by Fiorentina, this season in Florence, January 14 at Fiorentina's home stadium, Trim's Fiorentina had beaten Milan 4-0, Berlusconi did not go to the away game, but he was very angry and disappointed with Zaccheroni.

Just such a game, Milan's two top executives felt that Trim was very bullish, and when Zaccheroni got out of class, Galliani naturally remembered the Turkish coach, and he did not shy away from saying to Hugo that he was going to invite Trim to be the head coach, and he would bring in a lot of reinforcements in the summer.

Galliani must have received a promise from Silvio Berlusconi that he was willing to give money to the team.

Playing the team is a money-burning business, you have to burn money if you want the team to have good results, the majority of football clubs in Italy are still living in dire straits, the stadium is not theirs, they can't do anything, plus they have to pay tens of millions of loan fees every year, the ticket revenue is basically pasted on it, plus the Italian team is really not very strong in terms of commercial operations, like several giant teams are upside down every year, and the boss will be finished directly if he doesn't take the money.
