Chapter Fifty-Three: The Two Brothers

Mendes pretended not to hear, looked at Hugo and then shut up about it, Hugo felt very strange, what was wrong, as if Mendes did not like this topic very much.

He was wrong, Mendes was not reluctant to talk about the subject, but he was unwilling to talk about it in front of Ronaldo.

It wasn't until the two saw off Ronaldo together and Mendes drove Hugo to the hotel that Mendes said: "It's better for us not to talk about his family in front of Cristiano!" ”

"Cristiano's family background is not good, his father Dinis. Arbello is a retired veteran, her mother Dolores is an orphan who married his father at a very young age, they raised four children, and their previous living situation was very bad, Cristiano was almost aborted by his mother because he couldn't afford it! ”

Hugo didn't know that the famous Ronaldo in his previous life was in such a bad family.

"Honestly, the reason why I accepted your offer was money, you can pay Cristiano Ronaldo a lot of money every year, he can earn so much money at such a young age, it can help his family! His father was an alcoholic, alcoholic! So Mr. Colani, you said you were willing to give them a job, at least his father would have forgotten it! But I can ask about his mother, and then the salary you give Ronaldo every year is enough for them to live! Mendes explained that he did not answer in front of Ronaldo.

"Cristiano has a lot of self-esteem, he is very strong, Mr. Coleni, he will definitely try to prove himself, not only worthy of your bid for him, but also prove that he will be a good player in the future!" Mendez continued.

Hugo smiled bitterly, I didn't expect Ronaldo's family environment to be so bad!

"Jorge, do you know that the Chinese have a saying?! The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are motivated to endure and gain what they can't! This means that when you are a child, you have to go through hardships when you become a big thing, and I think Ronaldo will definitely succeed in the future after experiencing such an environment! Didn't Pele and Maradona all come out of the slums! As soon as the plot came, the car couldn't be stopped, and Hugo began to recite the middle school Chinese textbook again.

Unfortunately, Mendes couldn't understand the Chinese that Hugo memorized at all, and nodded yes while driving the car.

On the afternoon of November 7th, the Trapani Stadium, about 5,000 seats have been filled, today is the home game against the neighbor Marsala, but the highlight of the group of Trapani, because Marsala is still in second place, Marsala's form is very good this season, and the top of the table Trapani is only 2 points away, but if Trapani wins this game, the difference between the two sides will reach 5 points, which is a great boost to Trapani's morale.

Most of the people who came to the scene were the townspeople, Trapani people, some of whom were not interested in the local team three months ago, but now Trapani's excellent record has undoubtedly made the locals gradually fall in love, and the last three home stadiums have been full, and some people even stand on the rooftops of the opposite building to watch the game, and some people ride on the fence to watch the game.

"Hugo would be very happy to see this, he would never have imagined that we locals would support us so much now!" Giorgio hadn't seen such a grand occasion in many years, and said happily to Morek.

"Yes, what does a team without fans look like, a team with fans is a team, we are rooted here, and it is really faceless that there are not many people watching the game in front of us!" Morek smacked his lips and commented, "It's a pity that we don't charge for tickets, if we sell tickets, hehe, we have to make a lot of money!" ”

Morek shouted that it was a pity, the team's results were bad at the beginning, and not many people paid attention to it, so in order to attract fans, Giorgio of course proposed to save the ticket money or something, saying that you collect money, who will come to see the not too rich Trapani.

Hugo's earlier establishment of the team was not for the fans, but for his own fun, it doesn't matter about the money in this regard, Giorgio said not to accept it, okay, then don't accept it, who would have thought that the current situation is so hot.

"It's a bit of a pity, how many people will come to see us now that we say we want to collect money?! The price is only one euro per game! Giorgio was also full of regret.

"I don't think there's much left!" Knowing the locals, Morek knew that even a dollar specified that these guys would be willing to buy a drunk or a ticket to the game.

Giorgio also understands this situation, so he can only reluctantly abandon the idea of selling tickets, but fortunately, Hugo doesn't seem to care too much about the ticket money, and he can watch it for free, which can be regarded as a good deed for the villagers.

"Marsala is the team's bitter master!" Morek talked about today's opponent, he didn't know that if there was no Marsala, there should not be the current Trapani at all, if it wasn't for Trapani being humiliated by Marsala, Victor and the others would not be nosy and clash with Bruni and others, and they would not have the idea of setting up their own team.

"But now it's different! I think they're going to get a loss here today! You know how they give the odds for this game, the odds for us to win are only 1 to 1.21, you talk about how optimistic everyone is about us now! Giorgio smirked, and the "they" he meant were not serious bookmakers, but underground bookmakers in Palermo.

Trapani's home and away dressing rooms are very basic, if the environment is a little quieter, the home team's dressing room can be heard in the away team's dressing room, the referee's lounge, fortunately Hugo only spent one home game here, otherwise he would have made a lot of jokes here.

He skipped class, and it was much more normal for either Allegri or Toney to speak in the dressing room, and Victor, another important member of the team, was a very serious person in the team, he was not a naughty guy and didn't think he was the first, so he never participated in the team's pre- and post-game speeches.

But today's situation is a bit special, Hugo, who has been away for a long time, is cheering everyone on the phone!

"Marsala, our neighbor! They gave us painful memories last season, hehe, many of you came from last season! Today they are on our home turf and I want to ask you guys if you remember last season?! ”

"Today is a great opportunity for Snow Shame! Win this game and I'll be back for a treat! I can't win this game, but don't blame me for being ruthless, deducting money is a must! No matter what you do, I just want this victory! Let them know that Trapani is no longer the same opponent as last season, and that we are about to rise strong in Sicily! ”

Hugo's pre-game mobilization is not long, just these two sentences, but it is the first time that the matter of deducting money is raised, which makes Trapani's players tremble, Hugo will not make a joke, no one wants to be deducted, it doesn't matter if Tony and Allegri have a higher income, and of course others are not, they need money, and they feel that they want their own lives if they deduct a little!

Everyone responded loudly at the moment that winning was a must, and today we had to win Marsala anyway.

Hugo put down the phone on the other end of the phone with satisfaction, he is indeed very eager to win the opponent, but not because he is a neighbor, because he has a miserable last season, what is the matter with me last season, what he cares about is that this is a 6-point game, which can further widen the distance, and lock in next year's promotion place as soon as possible, and now it is only in the middle of the stage, the sooner he establishes the advantage, the easier he can be in the second half, if Marsala wins at this time, this must be too good for Marsala to be a good result, They will be more confident that they will fight Trapani for top of the group, which is not such a good result for Trapani, maybe the morale will plummet, the form will slip, and the basket will be empty, which is not out of the question.

That's why Hugo attaches so much importance to this game, that's why he has to call everyone for pre-game mobilization, and he hasn't done this once in the previous game!

In fact, his speech is somewhat redundant to some extent, Marsala is just in very good form this season, and there is still a big gap with Trapani in terms of strength, in the cheering of the 5,000 fans of the home team, the united Trapani performed well, even if Marsala's resistance was very tenacious, but Trapani still gave Marsala a defeat with a score of 3:0.

After the game, Victor called Hugo as soon as possible, telling him that the team had won the game, and Hugo, who had a little money in his hand, began to be generous again, not only promising to eat, but also saying that he would give each player an additional reward of $2,000.

"Just keep your promise, what kind of bonus to give!" Victor quietly complained on the other end of the phone, "There are 28 people in the team, and two thousand dollars per person is more than 50,000 dollars, which is enough to buy a good player when he is promoted to League C1!" ”

"Yo, Victor, I really didn't expect that you have an economic acumen now!" Hugo gave a thumbs up on the other end of the phone.

"But money is not a problem, you don't know one thing, I transferred part of my company's equity and got 30 million US dollars in cash, so I have money around me now, but what you said is very correct, I heard that it costs more than 50,000 yuan in total, I am very heartbroken, I am very painful, I still go back and invite everyone to have a meal!" Hugo said with a smile.
