Chapter 17: Eggs Laid in the Backdoor (2)
Cousin Morek shook his head speechlessly next to him, originally thought that Hugo, who made the Internet company, was a smart man, at least before starting a team, these should be understood, who knows, this guy doesn't know anything about it, and he should not have stopped the topic yesterday to popularize the knowledge of the league.
Fortunately, Morek was not needed at this time, and Ricci took the initiative to popularize the Italian league system for the ignorant two brothers.
The Italian league system is not particularly complicated, it is divided into four levels, the first level is of course Serie A, which is currently one of the best leagues in the world, the second level is Serie B, and the third level is Serie C.
These three divisions are all professional leagues, while the rest of the divisions are amateur leagues, and the Serie Ding league is also an amateur league, and under the Serie Ding league there are excellent leagues, promotion leagues, first class leagues, second class leagues, third class leagues, and so on.
It seems that there is a hierarchy, but in reality it is not like that, like Sicily extends to a type of league, and then no one plays, the place is so big, and the population is not as good as other places, so it does not extend to the lowest level in Sicily.
"Then why are we positioned here to start with a class 1 league?!" Victor asked curiously.
"Our football level here is not good! Football is also politics, whether it is the Serie D League or the Serie C League, even if there is a fixed place in Serie B every year, we can't promote Serie A! Richie explained with a smile and shaking his head.
Of course, the development of football extends more thoroughly, and places like Sicily are already underdeveloped, and even if they fix a few positions in Serie C every year, it is difficult to be promoted to Serie B, let alone Serie A.
People in Sicily also football, but more are affected by the football trend, just entertain themselves, there is no serious youth training, no big investors are willing to invest in football here, you must know that a few years ago is the era of the underworld is very arrogant, who dares to come, Catania, Messina have had a financial crisis, was ordered to be relegated, so most of the teams in Sicily are in the lower leagues.
Trapani and Marsala, etc., are good, they can mix in the Serie Ding, and now Ricci says that Trapani is in financial trouble and may go bankrupt, and Trapani may be erased from the football map of Sicily.
"Gigi, Victor, Alex, if you are willing to help the Trapani club, not only will you be able to play in the Serie Ding right away, but your actions will definitely win the hearts of many fans here!" Richie earnestly persuaded.
Hugo pouted in his heart, how many fans can there be here?! Besides, do the fucking fans matter to me?! Unimportant!
But then again, if you can buy Trapani FC and play at the top of the amateur league right away, it's a good idea!
Well, I'll calculate, Hugo silently calculated, if you increase investment now, maybe you can be promoted to the first division in four or five years, haha, and the three bears in the north, this is still very beautiful.
Seeing that the corners of Hugo's mouth arced, Richie didn't know if the child was listening to him carefully.
"Well, they're going to go bankrupt, so it's not like we don't even have to play a derby?!" Victor smirked, "Hey, Hugo, what do you think of Alberto's idea?!" ”
Victor was tempted, he really wanted to see the faces of that group of people, the one named Elio. Brunie's face, Victor has already thought about it, and the first thing after the acquisition is to let him get out of here!
"Ahh Hugo woke up from his dream.
"As a responsible local Trapani businessman, ahem, our Colini family is of course more than happy to help Trapani FC through this difficult time! But this acquisition, Mr. Richie, it was my personal idea, and my personal contribution, you know, ...... the money, uh-huh, uh-uh! Hugo said hesitantly.
"Oh, the price isn't an issue at all, as long as you have the money to sign them up for the new season, it's actually a lot of money at all!" Rich hurriedly said, after speaking, he was also secretly thinking, it turns out that this is the name of your two brothers.
Looking at Victor, who still has acne, and Hugo, who is still a little baby-faced, Richie feels like he is a fucking person, can they do Trapani?! Don't fucking fall into the Sicilian League of Excellence at this time next year, it will be miserable.
But in today's situation, no one wants to pull Trapani, and Richie can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor with a wry smile in his heart, hoping that the Coleni brothers can take some responsibility, not really just playing.
"Alright then, maybe we can find a time to talk! Mr. Richie, can you make an appointment?! Hugo said that he wanted to buy Trapani, but he really didn't want to spend much money, he didn't think that he didn't need to spend money, as long as there were funds for them to register, how fucking the finances were gone?!
"Of course, no problem, I'll call their chairman!" Richie stood up.
"Hey, you're really planning to buy Trapani, didn't you say you should have fun with yourself?! Although Trapani is played in Sicily, don't forget that it costs more than running an amateur team! Morek asked in a low voice while Richie was on the phone, he knew that Hugo still had some money, but he didn't know how much.
Victor smiled mysteriously, haha, what is the money, I can get Trapani, let alone Hugo.
"Alex, I'm serious! Money is not an issue, and besides, you have heard Mr. Rich say that you don't need much money at all! I can still get 1.8 million dollars! Hugo said confidently.
Morek smacked his tongue, he didn't know that Hugo was so rich, and he certainly didn't know that his maternal grandfather gave Hugo a lump sum of 5 million pounds in betting.
"Well, since you have decided, of course I will support it, so let's do it, I will also contribute a part!" "But I hope we can run it well and do it a good way!" ”
Maybe because he is a local, Morek still wants not to dismantle Trapani against the local team.
"Of course, I'm serious!" Hugo said, "Don't worry, after buying them, we will discuss it carefully, and next season my goal is to be promoted to the Serie C League, hehe!" ”
Hugo still has a goal to say, so soon he will be able to live the addiction of a manager and a player in the fourth division.
"Trapani doesn't have many die-hard supporters right now, but the locals still want the team to get better, and I don't want to be poked in the back by them!" Morek shrugged.
"No, don't worry! Don't forget, we're one of them! Haha, now I'm kind of looking forward to next season! Victor grinned, this guy never forgot that he could play, compared to his brother Hugo.
Victor is actually really good at playing, but because of family reasons, his uncle Giovanni does not allow him to play, and Morek believes that Victor can still be a substitute in Trapani, but Hugo?!
He said that he was not only a coach but also a player, which is a bit unacceptable, after all, Morek has never seen Hugo play! According to Hugo's perception, playing football is really a layman, which is absolutely impossible.
But think about Hugo set up a new team because he wanted to be a coach and a player, it was originally a play, and Morek can only hide it in his heart even if he has an opinion now, alas, let's wait until the acquisition is made first, if Hugo doesn't pay, Morek doesn't want to pay, and he has little interest in managing a club.
Morek was thinking to himself, and Hugo also followed Victor and said: "That is, I am also a high-IQ person, nothing can be difficult for me, I will definitely make the team grow and become the business card of our Trapani, oh no, the whole of Sicily, no, the business card of the whole of Italy!" Look, Alex! ”
Morek was about to speak, but at this time Richie came over.
"Giorgio would like to see you guys, right in his café!" Richie said indirectly.
"He knows you've already loaned the stadium out, so he's a little angry, I hope you don't mind!" Richie explained.
Ha, got it! It doesn't matter! I guess that's what you old guy revealed! Hugo thought.
His guess was correct, Richie did give Giorgio. Esposito said, his purpose is also to put pressure on the other party, you don't even have a stadium next season, it's just that the city hall hasn't notified you yet, not only do you have no registered capital, but you don't even have a stadium, how can you play?!
What a big problem, it's so dark in Trapani, to be precise, the Colleni brothers are so black!
Giorgio. Esposito's job is to run a coffee shop, and he gave him the advertisement on the chest of the Trapani FC jersey, but now, he is not able to continue to give the team a blood transfusion, he has three children, which is not so easy to feed, and it is normal to pick a child at a critical moment.
The Trapani club is also very interesting, they are a purely amateur team, and the funds come from sponsorship, as for what town hall funding, come on, Trapani town hall is very poor, of course it is impossible, on the contrary, Trapani town hall never loses a cent in the rent of the stadium every year.
The results are dismal, and it is becoming more and more unable to attract sponsors, and there are not many people watching the game anyway, so it will not bring any business to the sponsors, why should people spend money on it, and it is funny to say, Giorgio's café is their only sponsor at the moment.
