346 Big Guy Party
Hugo stood up contentedly and shook hands with Platini, Del Nido and others, Del Nido is the president of Sevilla, Sevilla is also a member of the European Club Association, and after the loss, he maintained a good demeanor, not only congratulated Hugo, but also praised Messi's performance.
"Thank you, Mr. Delnido, a Super Cup match is not a big game, you are doing very well, it will not be easy to beat you!" Hugo said politely with Del Nido's hand.
In the evening, Le Graët invited Platini, Hugo, Del Nido and others to have dinner together, this kind of dinner is mainly to connect and enhance friendship between each other, Del Nido asked Hugo You Serie A has always had a lot of money in the past, how has it become different this summer.
"Because I don't have any money!" Hugo said with a shrug.
That's right, there is no money, seeing that the transfer window of Serie A is about to close, but the teams have no strong reinforcements, Trapani made more than 100 million euros in this summer transfer window, and made a lot of money without spending much, which is a very abnormal thing.
So far, the biggest spending club in the Italian transfer market is the promotion giant Juventus, they have invested more than 60 million in total, bought a number of players, for the new season they must be ambitious, not to mention to compete for the championship, at least they want to qualify for the Champions League, Champions League qualification means money, for the heavy burden of the giants is something that must be obtained, fortunately, the Serie A points are high in recent years, there are four places.
Such as the Milan duo and the Roma duo did not invest much, with the economic recession, Inter Milan's president Moratti also felt struggling, Lao Bei's life is good, he still has money, but he has also tightened his money in the big form.
As for the Roma duo, Rosella is still struggling to survive, where does he have any money to invest, and he was forced to sell Zivo to Inter Milan this summer. Not to mention Lotito's miser, and he wouldn't be a big deal.
Other small and medium-sized teams are trying their best to maintain their financial situation, the southern team is particularly difficult, because the living standard in the south is worse, the fans have no money, pirated jerseys are flying all over the sky, the southern team depends on the fans to survive and can not make any money at all, they can only make a fuss from the purchase and sale of players, now the economy is sluggish, the ball market is getting hotter and hotter, the cost of team operation is rising, many teams cannot make ends meet, take risks to make false accounts, and are forced to sell people.
Many team presidents are actually secretly grateful to Hugo, because Hugo bought the broadcast rights at a price that exceeded expectations, and the broadcast income of each team was much higher.
However, when De Laurentiis invited many teams to share the advertising revenue, because they were poor, no one would read Hugo's anymore, and no matter how small the mosquito was, it was meat for them.
Speaking of poor words, everyone at the dinner party has thoughts, Sevilla is also poor, they have trained a lot of excellent players, but in the end they all went to Real Madrid or Barcelona, and in Spain, only these two teams have crazy confidence to buy people.
"It's terrible! But Mr. Coleni, I don't believe you when you say you don't have money! Delnido shook his head and said.
"We Trapani are also poor, brother, after estimating that our salary expenditure this season has accounted for 70% of the team's income! Think about what the consequences will be if I don't sell people?! Hugo smiled bitterly.
Le Graët, Del Nido and others were horrified, and Trapani's proportions were too scary, which was a terrible proportion.
Half of the time, a team should try to maintain salary expenses at about 50% of income, which is a relatively safe line.
As Hugo said, if they don't sell people, the proportion will be higher, the loss will be more, and Hugo will throw more money into it every year, even if Hugo is willing to smash, but he can't smash it like this, so sooner or later it will not pass Platini's financial fairness barrier, but will harm the team.
For a team, it is difficult to change the face with a season, from a business point of view, in the early years, Trapani used high salaries to attract players to join, coupled with Hugo's superstar policy, the team's salary is getting higher and higher, and the strength of the team is also increasing, and finally won the treble last season, which is a long-term process, and now the Trapani club is actually a little conscious of controlling salary expenditure, but it is impossible to directly let the salary target drop, if you choose a radical approach to selling, Then the strength of the team will inevitably suffer.
Therefore, it is a long-term process to save the strength and control the salary, and there is still time, if Platini's policy comes out and then hastily remedy, I am afraid that it will have a great impact on the strength of the team, and the future of commercial development is full of uncertainty, Hugo can't pack the ticket, so it is not in vain to say that the team has been harmed.
This summer's selling practice in Trapani is influenced by this reason.
Every team is facing such a problem, for example, Sevilla, they also want to achieve good results, but if the player performs well, the salary increase should always be, the renewal signing fee, the benefits of the agent, these are always a big burden, it is better to take advantage of the interest of the giants, simply sell the players, and re-cultivate, which is a helpless belonging to small and medium-sized teams.
Unless they are lucky enough to qualify for the Champions League and get a big share of the money, perhaps relieving the pressure to keep their star at the moment, it will be difficult for the players and the club to drift apart from each other.
"I'm not worried, though! I am confident that I will be able to reduce the team's salary to a suitable control within three years! Haha, it's not that you don't buy people, it's that you don't have a good goal! We have a very good foundation on all fronts of the team, and not buying people does not mean that our strength has decreased. Hugo said in a relaxed tone again.
"Haha, money is easy to do!" Del Nido concluded.
"Yes, I have the money, but sooner or later that old fellow Platini will have to do his fair principles, which is not easy to deal with." Hugo scolded with a smile.
"That's because you're against him doing that?!" Le Graët said.
"No, no, no! That's a great idea! I'm sure it's a good idea, really a good idea! If I hadn't supported him, I wouldn't have gathered everyone to form this association! Hugo shook his head.
The crowd laughed, and Del Nido said, "Mr. Colini, you mean the association has to listen to him?!" ”
"Of course not, the association listens to our own! We should go for what is good for us, and now it is different! We have so many members in this association now, and we are responsible for the members, not for Mr. Platini! Hugo said without a sense of disobedience.
Everyone listened to it and was very satisfied, many people were not satisfied with the previous agreement, and everyone was afraid that the association was in power and was Platini's dog.
"In other words, his principle of fairness is very good, and it is good for everyone. At least the pace of those wealthy buyers has been reined in, and you can keep people. "Hugo doesn't think of himself as a wealthy family.
"I hope so!" Del Nido sighed.
There is another possibility of the new policy, that is, it will make the small club worse, it is difficult to make money by investing in football, many owners invest for various reasons, the principle of fairness limits their investment, and it may be more difficult for small clubs to sell their players, and then the economic situation may be even worse.
Hugo is not stupid, he knows the potential dangers that may exist, but what does it matter to him?! Platini is not on the stage, he has little to do with him, and he is unlikely to promote the development of European football, and it would be good to benefit Italian football.
Even if he can't keep up with the trend in Italy, if he wants to die or die, Hugo feels that he can't help it.
