Chapter 173: The Argentine Gang

The next day was July 10th, when Hugo, Cellly, and Lu Fan went to Palermo to pick up people, this time he picked up Javier from Argentina. Hernandez also recruited a group of young players ranging in age from 14 to 18, but they all had a special background, and they were basically of Italian descent who could get Italian passports.

Except for Javier. Hernandez had another adult on the team, and Rain couldn't figure out what he was doing.

The adult had been helping to sort out the children's luggage and hadn't come over to say anything.

Hernandez pulled Hugo aside and explained in a low voice: "This man is Oscar. Mascherano, he is a football coach and his son is named Javier. Mascherano is only currently playing for River Plate, but he is only a youth kid and has not played in the first team yet, he is a very talented kid and he has some fame in River Plate, we know that he is actually of Italian descent, so we looked at him and he was really good! I want to bring him to you! ”

"Which kid?! Which one is?! Hugo hurriedly asked, South America is the most talented football talent, even the so-called parallel goods actually have some strength, in case this Mascherano is really a treasure, he doesn't want to miss it.

"He didn't come, his father came! His father was also a professional footballer, but his career was not brilliant and he is now a coach! His father is here to inquire about your situation, and he wants to see if his son is fit to work here! Hernandez stopped Hugo and continued.

"Oh, that's what it means to inspect the front station!" Hugo understood that he pitied the hearts of his parents all over the world, perhaps because his son did show talent, so he was very cautious, knowing that a transfer can make or break a genius, which is understandable.

"No problem, you can let him see it! I went to the training base in the afternoon and now the first team is assembled, it's not a problem! Hugo said. I'm going to talk to him personally, and I trust your vision! ”

"You're the agent of these kids?! So that Javier. What about Mascherano?! Hugo asked again.

"He's not, he doesn't have an agent, and now everything is taken care of by his father!" Hernandez explained.

Hugo nodded enough, "Let's go ask him!" ”

In a moment the three men walked up to Mr. Mascherano, and Hernandez introduced him to Hugo and Cellly.

"Hello! Mr. Mascherano, you are very welcome to Trapani! Hugo stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically.

"You look so young!" Monsieur Mascherano muttered, a slight sign of distrust of Hugo.

"Actually, I'm really young, I'm only 21!" Hugo laughed, "But everyone says I'm reliable!" ”

"Well, I didn't mean that, Mr. Colenny! I'm just sighing! I thought you would be a ......."

"An old man, or a middle-aged man?!" Hugo laughed.

The laughter eased the atmosphere.

"I know what you're here for! We'll go to the training base in the afternoon and I can guarantee that Trapani is not a country team! Hugo laughed again.

The group packed up, boarded the bus Hugo and their rent, and headed for Trapani, Mr. Masserano is Italian, communication is not a problem, but Hernandez does not know Italian, on the way Hugo himself as a tour guide, to Mr. Masserano about Trapani, he told Mr. Maperano that Trapani is under construction, and the goal is to become Italy's Silicon Valley and a world-renowned tourist city.

He also spoke honestly about the history of Trapani and described the future of Trapani to Mr. Mascherano.

The bus went straight to the training base in Trapani, which has been upgraded since Hugo's return from Argentina, and is originally a new building, but now it looks beautiful and functional.

The young players are not at ease, they are watching the outside through the car window, as Hernandez described to them that you are not going to a grassroots team but a big club, Hernandez is also very satisfied that Hugo did not amplify the words, at least in terms of hardware, Trapani is completely better than River Plate than Boca and other big Argentine clubs.

A piece of green training ground exudes an alluring luster, when the young players enter their youth dormitory, they are even more happy, they have experienced since childhood either by their own car to train, or the accommodation conditions are very poor, but here is very good, each room is equipped with air conditioning, a room only lives two people, completely hotel-style management, but for the network Hugo does strictly control, the whole dormitory building only has a computer room and game room, open regularly, of course, it is also free, But if they want to have a good time, it's probably not possible.

To put an end to Internet addicted teenagers, Hugo is very serious.

I have to say that just looking at the hardware, Mr. Mascherano has to admit that there is nothing wrong with his son coming here.

Naturally, the children were arranged by staff, and Hugo took Hernandez and them to the school that had been built, right next to the training base.

"Starting from this year, we will open this school, we will hire special teachers, responsible for the cultural learning of the children in the academy, the cultural education they receive is synchronized with the whole of Italy, and we have strict rules for the youth training children, if the cultural class fails, you can't participate in the training, I just hope that these young players can learn more, even if they can't become professional players in the future, they can continue to go to college, go to college, be able to have a skill, and gain a foothold in this society!" Hugo introduced.

Mr. Mascherano deeply felt that not every professional player can find a coaching job after the end of his career like him, many professional players are poor at the end of their careers, they don't know how to operate, they don't understand other specialties, they can only sit and eat, and even some of them are stuck with vices when they were players, and the bad habits do not change at the end of their careers, and the money is used up quickly, and if they are professional players in Argentina, even if they are saved, with the wave of economic crisis, the income has almost depreciated, and it is strange that they are not poor.

"Mr. Coleni, you're right!" Mr. Mascherano lamented.

"If you get into the academy in Trapani, then they will be my staff and I want to take responsibility for them! So many children, Mr. Mascherano, you also know that they can't everyone become a professional footballer, it's not easy for Xavier to find them, but it's not easy for these children, they all have a football dream in their hearts, so they came here from afar, I hope they can live well here, they can feel the warmth of home, not only can they improve their skills here, but also learn culture here, in short, playing football and learning can not be delayed, there is always a way out when the time comes, Not to destroy them! Yuguo said sincerely, he spent so much money, it can be said that the money in his hands and Morek's two million in the previous stage were invested in this, because this group of people are not adults, they are children, and children should have a future.

Hugo personally arranged a room for Mascherano, and then took Hernandez to the office of the training base, and asked in detail about Hernandez's group of young players, Hernandez brought 9 children, the age is basically from 14 to 18 years old, and there is only one child, Angel. Fabian. Advance. Mary. Hernandez is only 12 years old, this child is from Rosario, his father is of Italian descent, his mother is Hispanic, the family is very poor, no money, this child is very fast, dribbling is very good, Hernandez's father was not optimistic about him when he was inspecting, and wanted to wait two years to talk about it, but Di Maria's family can't wait, for many poor people in South America, playing football is also a way out, if the child can play professional football, then the whole family will change dramatically, They pleaded with little Di Maria to be brought to Italy, and so the little boy came.

Hugo smiled bitterly at Hernandez and said that they were not afraid that they would really meet a liar?!

"Gigi, if you were poor, you wouldn't think so! They will only think that this is an opportunity! A chance to lift the whole family out of poverty! Hernandez shook his head and said, this is also true.

"Ho, that's it! The academy is about to produce an Argentine gang! In the future, this group of children will have to be well controlled, and don't form a gang in the academy, which is not good! Hugo laughed.

"That's for sure, even children are used to holding together in a foreign land, but management is your business, I can only advise them!" Hernandez shrugged.

"They won't be alone here and if they get promoted to Serie B next year I'm going to let Leo . Messi is in the team, and now they have a fellow! Hugo said with a smile, "By the way, Javier, I didn't tell you in detail just now, Lu Fan is actually Argentine, and his Argentine name is Angel. Dominguez. Land! ”

On an occasion like today, Lu Fan is naturally fulfilling his duties as a bodyguard, Hugo and Mascherano chatted happily, and when they met, they only gave a rough introduction, and Hernandez categorically never thought that the yellow-skinned Lu Fan was actually Argentine.
