273 Interview 2
Hugo gave Roma Sports the opportunity to interview this time, not at random, but because of what he wanted to talk about, about Roma, the big things that affect Italian football!
'My view is that we need to change some of our mindsets, whatever the purpose of going into football, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that we have to have a fan economy! Hugo sat on the sofa and talked.
The fan economy was not something he Hugo came up with, and people in this area have been studying it for a long time.
Hugo believes that today's Italian football has failed to make good use of the good opportunities brought by football, and has not achieved the healthy development of Italian football itself.
"Italian football needs to be reformed and the Football Association Commissioner Mr. Rossi has done a great job of pushing our B team professionally, which is good for Italian football as a whole, I agree with it. But the most important thing for teams at the moment is to increase their revenues and avoid financial deficits, so that the team can develop well. ”
"In my opinion, I think the national policy should be properly supported, and the president of the club as Roma, Ms. Rossella, told me that they want to actively promote the establishment of the new stadium, and I think this idea is very good!"
Hugo cites examples of Premier League teams and Trapani, Trapani's new stadium was not completed, but Hugo calculated the expected income for Francisco, which was considerable.
"But it's not important, many of our teams haven't fully tapped the potential of the fans, such as the surrounding susmorabilia, jerseys, whatever, we have income in these aspects, to attract fans to spend, we have to guide fans to establish a concept, watching a football game is the same as watching a movie, this is a kind of consumption!"
Francisco thinks that Hugo is too practical and snobbish, Italian football is no different from the history of England, everyone starts from community football, fans have a lot of emotional investment in football, and there is always a little uncomfortable when it comes to money.
"Every team should not treat the club as a toy, the owner's toy, I think each of our operators should have brand awareness, for example, brands like Adidas and McDonald's, but their consumer group is the public, and we are aimed at fans!"
Hugo didn't speak particularly methodically, but Francisco understood what Hugo meant, and in Hugo's view, the revitalization of Italian football must first learn to change its concept and increase commercialization, and then it can think about development.
Hugo also made it clear that the government should revise the policy and approve the team to build its own stadium to improve the senses of the scene and attract more fans, and he fully supports Roma's move to build its own stadium.
Hugo talked a lot with Francisco, bits and pieces, but Francisco became more and more into a state, what Hugo said was not systematic, and some of the statements were not the first to be put forward, but there were many that Hugo put forward.
For example, Hugo mentioned that our club needs to keep up with the times, and we need to make a fuss about how to promote our club and develop new fans.
To keep up with the pace of the Internet era, how to do a good job in the club's Internet economy.
These topics have to be said to be new ideas, new ideas, matto. After the interview, Francisco praised Hugo.
"Mr. Colani, you are worthy of our Italian business rookie, and I think many ideas are very reasonable!"
"Thank you for the compliment! I really want to do something good for Italian football! Unfortunately for our political environment, if the government can strongly support the development of the football economy, I think this aspect may be able to make a huge contribution to the entire Italian national economy! Hugo smiled and sighed.
Hugo is going to launch a public opinion offensive this time, build momentum for various clubs, and let everyone get the opportunity to build an exclusive stadium as soon as possible.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads in unison, it is difficult to say anything about the environment in Italy, and the centralization of power is not serious, the key depends on the attitude of the local city halls and city councils.
"I still believe in the future of Italian football!" Mato. Francisco said again.
"Oh, yes! Why don't you consider running for the presidency of the Football Association! So I'm sure you can do more! Francisco said.
Naive! Even this one has naïve times?! Hugo couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, obviously it was not a good idea.
"In fact, I think I would have done more if I hadn't been in the chairman's position!" Hugo shrugged.
"Why?!" Francisco didn't understand.
Hugo smiled and said nothing, after so many years of struggle, Hugo found that the president of the Football Association is actually a rather thankless job, and everything will be questioned, but as a strong force in Italy, Hugo's position is much more transcendent.
To put it simply, it is much easier for him to be a wall grass than the chairman of the Football Association, and it is easy to lose his prestige if he makes a mistake in the chairman's position, but Hugo will not, he has always been an opponent, and it is not a big deal if he fails.
That year, they tried to pry Carraro over, but the result was a failure, but he just became a laughing stock for a while, but it was not easy to fall, and Carraro was different, he was affected by the phonegate incident, and it was harder for him to come back than Moji!
The current Football Association commissioner Rossi had a shallow foundation in the Italian football circle, and Hugo was better to trade with him, so Hugo didn't want to be on the top at all.
"Why am I so cunning?!" Hugo couldn't help but want to compliment himself.
Francisco doesn't understand, he's older than Hugo, but he's still had too little to experience.
It's a great honor to be interviewed by Hugo, and Hugo is not the subject of such an easy interview. Francisco returned to Rome, quickly sorted out the interview records, and concocted a conversational interview news, which was immediately published as soon as possible.
Hugo's interview has caused a very strong response in the football circle, football people don't care much about Hugo's belittling of everyone, they care more about Hugo's talk about making money, Hugo's summary seems to tell all bosses that in fact, football is very interesting, everyone can make a fortune together.
Rossella. Sensi said in an interview: "I think Gigi speaks for all of us, our environment needs to change, our stadium attendance has been declining for the last three seasons, why are fans staying away from the stadium?!" Because our environment is getting worse and worse! We need to build new stadiums and engage fans with a great live experience! ”
This is a clear proof of the decline of Italian football, because everyone feels that the income growth is too slow, and some teams are declining, of course, it can't be attributed to the stadium, as Hugo said, but they all say it in order to start the first and most important step of reform.
Many teams have called on the government to relax policies to stimulate the development of the football economy, and Hugo is right, we can also create a lot of benefits for the country.
The winter break of the league is fleeting, and the second half of the league will soon begin, which is not accurate, in fact, the final round of the first half of the league has not yet been played.
The 19th round of the league is the first after the winter break, and Trapani will host Milan in a highlight-catching affair.
Hugo hadn't played football for a long time, and one day before this game, Hugo invited Lu Fan and Perotti to go to the training ground to play sports together.
Trapani has already resumed training, Hugo they came to the training ground at the end of the afternoon training, the time is relatively late, the administrator of the training ground looks disgusted, if the players want to stay alone for training, they will not say anything, but Hugo They come to play, the administrator is naturally disgusted, you must know that the management rules of the training ground do not allow outsiders to play here.
The administrator dislikes it, but there is no way to say it, and it is useless to say it anyway.
