"Look, Andrea, we're at the training base!" Luca. Tony said as he helped Barzagli get his luggage out of the car and stood in front of the training base.

Andrea. Barzagli and Luca. Tony, like him, is from the province of Florence, Lucca. Toney is not only a player of the team, but also the team's financial director, he did not take a long vacation in the summer, but came to the team early, tomorrow is July 10th, Trapani training camp is about to begin, today both new transfer players and old players will come to the team.

Because he knew that he was a fellow countryman, Tony deliberately followed Fabio. Costa picked up Barzagli by car.

"How?! Stylish, right?! Brat! "Fabio, who looks fierce and has a tattoo on the back of his hand. Costa said proudly.

"Thank you Luca!" Barzagli took over from Luca. Tony took the luggage in his hand and began to look at the gate of the training base.

The full name of the Trapani training base is the Trapani Football Club Pacheco Training Base, there is a large letter at the door, from the gate, Barzagli can see several training grounds, it looks many times better than Rondinella, he and Luca. Tony isn't just a fellow, but also with Luca. Tony is also a grassroots player through and through, not an academy player for a big club.

"It's a good place! Much better than Pistoia! Barzagli smiled, looking very satisfied, only a few of the new players signed this year have come to the team, and a local player like Barzagli has signed a contract without coming here at all, because Trapani's offer here is something they can't refuse. Barzagli can get an annual salary of 24,000 euros here, and if the team is promoted, he will also be rewarded, according to general manager Giorgio The owner is very generous, and the promotion reward will definitely not be less than the 10,000 euros written, and once promoted, his annual salary will rise to 30,000 euros a year.

Long before coming, he also checked the information of Chatrapani, their information is not difficult to find, he searched a lot of pictures, can see that the situation here is good, today seeing is believing, so that Barzagli is relieved a lot, this is part of Sicily, but Barzagli and Tony thought differently, Tony once worried about the social security problems here, but Barzagli is not, he is more concerned about getting the first professional contract of his career, getting the first salary income, It marked him as a professional footballer, and last year's experience at Pistoia was still disappointing for the young Barzagli.

"Hehe, although this place is a little smaller, we will expand it in the future, and the facilities here will not be less at all!" Tony smiled and pulled Barzagli inside.

Hugo has always emphasized the environment of the training base, and he will never allow the training base to be bare, so after a year, the training base has been planted with many trees, the most of which are coconut palms.

It's summer, the sea breeze blows gently, the trees are lush, and the sound of rattling gives people a feeling of relaxation, Barzagli feels that the heat here is much hotter than Florence, but it feels more refreshing.

Tony and Costa take Barzagli as they walk and explain to him the various places, where are the restaurants? Where is the gym? Where is the medical center?

The medical center is a two-storey building that Trapani only built this summer, following Sailly's advice, this medical center, with some simple facilities, can basically meet the daily needs of the team, of course, major accidents can not be handled, such as a player accidentally fractured, there is no way to do surgery here, there is also a physiotherapy room, Hugo's biggest expense this summer is here, buy equipment, invite medical experts. It's not a low cost.

Walking up to a building, Tony pointed to it and said to Barzagli, "This is the team's youth dormitory!" If you want to go out and rent a house, then you can rent a house in the future, and if you don't want to, it doesn't matter if you live here all the time! ”

"What about the rest of the team?!" Barzagli asked.

"Haha, you young players who have just arrived will be arranged to live here, you will not lack partners here! If you have money, you can go out and rent a house to live, live here for free, and spend money to go outside! Costa replied with a smile, knowing what Barzagli meant.

"Then I choose to live here!" Barzagli said.

"Hehe, maybe you won't think like that after a while! The youth team players also live here, and the little ones are noisy! Costa laughed.

Players of the youth team cannot take a vacation after the school holidays, Trapani Football Club held a month-long football training camp, these youth team players must participate, according to Hugo, these young players usually do not have much time to play, since they have chosen the path of football, then the summer vacation period should be good training, not waste time on playing.

The young players of the youth team have no choice, and the local Sicilian teenagers who can be lucky to be selected are the lucky ones, they can learn cultural knowledge, eat well and live well, and they can only listen to Hugo, and the young players poached by Selli and Giorgio have received good youth contract salaries, so they should naturally obey the club's arrangement.

It's the day of the youth team's training camp, and they've seen it just now when they're passing by the training ground, and the little ones won't be on vacation until the senior team gathers, so at least Barzagli has to live in the same building with these teenagers for at least the next two days.

When he got to the room arranged for Barzagli, Costa said: "You're in the first team, so your accommodation will be much better, you'll be in a single room, and those youth teams are shared by two people!" What do you think?! I mean this room?! ”

Barzagli looked at it, the condition was not bad, there was a small balcony outside, it seemed to be a lake (Pacheco reservoir) outside the balcony, it should be quieter.

"Okay, Andrea, you have a good rest here, and then it's time to go to the restaurant to eat by yourself, I still have work to do, so I can't stay here for too long, let's talk slowly in the future!" Toni said goodbye with a smile, he was indeed a little busy, the team had more projects, more and more staff, and although a lot of money was not spent from the club's account at all, there was more and more work that belonged to him.

However, seeing Hugo fulfill his promise and get a full salary of 1 million euros in the first year, Tony felt that no matter how hard he worked, he deserved it.

At dinner time Barzagli met several people in the restaurant, also a newly recruited player, Simeone. Pepe, tall centre-back Stendaldo, short striker Menella, defender Brody, all of them are Italians, and everyone introduced each other to each other, knowing that the other team was a first-team player.

"Dude, where are you from?!" Short striker Menella, the oldest, asked Barzagli.

"Me?! I'm from Fiesole! That's the province of Florence! Barzagli replied briefly.

"Oh! That's a long way off, but what about you?! Simone! Menella asked Simeone again. Pepe.

"I'm from Rome!" Pepe replied with a grin.

"I'm from the Juventus Academy!" Brody said proudly at this time.

Menella obviously didn't mean that, but Brody was suspicious of showing off, and began to brag about his experience at Juventus, telling that he had played with Zidane, Deschamps, Piero and others at zero distance.

"Then how did you get here?!" Menella was not happy with this big man who was more than a year younger than himself, and said sarcastically, you should go to Juventus's first team like this, how did you come here?!

Brody was a little speechless at once, and Barzagli and the others also felt funny when they saw him eat a deflated, calling you a dog's show!

Menella completely ignored the silent Brody and whispered to his new friends who were eating around the table, "You haven't seen Hugo yet, have you?!" ”

"Hugo?! Hugo is?! Barzagli was not yet aware of the nickname Hugo.

"Boss!" Simone. Pepe whispered back.

"His real name is Ji'an Luigi. Pasilio. Colani, whose nickname is Hugo, I heard that he likes to be called that! Menela explained.

"Cut, did he think he was a great writer?!" Brody sneered and objected.

The crowd ignored him, and Menella continued, "You haven't seen each other yet, have you?!" Seeing that everyone shook their heads, Menella smiled mysteriously, "I've seen it, and it's not on TV, it's not in magazines, it's not today, well, I've just come from Palermo today!" I met him back in the last year! ”

"It's a story, a bloody story! Would you like to hear about it?! Menella said with a serious face.

Bloody?! Everyone thinks Menella's serious face is funny, how bloody is it, is he really the mafia background as rumored by the outside world?!

"Last summer, Palermo invited Trapani to play a warm-up game, did you get until the result of that game?! 0:0, the tenacious Trapani forced us to a draw, as you know I came on loan from Palermo, I was in the first team and I played for a few minutes in that game! Hehe! Menella recounted the story of a year ago.

"Can you get to the point?!" Stendalldo listened to the monkey anxiously.

"What's the hurry, this will get to the point soon!" Menella gave Stendaldo a blank look, "You don't know, Trapani has a black goalkeeper, Idris. Carlos. Kameni! Guess how old he is?! ”

“20？”

"That's not right!"

“21？！”

……

There was no one who didn't report it, even Brody reported a 17-year-old, Menella shook his head.
