Chapter 228: Surprise Attack

"Great victory! Great Trapani! Great Tony! We beat Palermo in the 2002-2003 Palermo derby and we are the best team in Sicily! Agostino solemnly declared in the live broadcast room that this 4:0 match ended perfectly!

After the game, Hugo ran to the stadium to congratulate his players with a smile, and it was not for nothing that he was voted the most popular owner by the Milan sports newspaper, and Hugo was almost jumping into the sky at the Barbera Stadium.

Serie B is the second tier, and it has received a lot more attention, and reporters from media outlets such as Italian national television seized the opportunity to interview Hugo on the spot.

"Mr. Colenny, are you happy with this victory?!"

"Of course, you're talking nonsense! I couldn't be happier! We proved ourselves, we are promoted horses, but we aim for the championship! This game is a good proof of that! ”

"Mr. Zamparini said he would fire Coach Greallien! What do you think?! ”

"Hehe, what do I think?! I have a lot of sympathy for Coach Greallien! We all know that working under Mr. Zamparini is not an easy task! Palermo's problem is not with the coaches, but because they have a president who likes to change coaches! Lo and behold, Palermo's upgrade this year is no fun! ”

"You mean to say you're not a boss who likes to fire coaches?! And what about Mr. Mazari ?! ”

"Of course I wasn't, I fired him for a reason, we are grateful for Mr. Mazzari's work, but it was a difficult time and we need to make changes! It turns out we made the right choice and Coach Zeman did a great job here! I wish he could have been here longer! ”

This is a response to Mazzal's words that jumped out the other day, saying that he had a bad relationship with Hugo, that the two sides had never achieved real trust, and that he had become a scapegoat for the slightest fluctuation in his grades!

Hugo didn't want to get involved with the meritorious coach, Mazzari has Mazzali's credit, and he has to respect Mazzal's contribution.

"Instead of talking about the past tense, we should discuss the present continuous tense and future tense!" Hugo added.

Finally seized the opportunity, Hugo was asked a lot of questions, about many aspects, one of the important is the packaging sales speech, there is no clear progress on this matter, Hugo is just preparing to put it into practice, but today in front of reporters he said so.

"I think we're falling behind now and we should catch up! The pitch of the Italian team needs to be improved and we should have a professional pitch and not like it is now! So next time we will fall behind sooner or later, and the Italian team will be tortured on the pitch! Also when it comes to broadcasting, our club shouldn't be at a disadvantage! I think the behavior of state television is a kind of monopoly, and if they don't make changes, we should take them to court! There is something to learn from the Premier League, all our professional teams should stand together, and it is good for everyone to sell in a package, so why not do it?! ”

"The fact that I have been preparing for this work for a long time and what I can reveal is that this matter has the support of a lot of clubs and it will be possible to reach a consensus within the league in the near future! Then wait for the end of the broadcast contracts of the various clubs, and we can really look for a change! ”

The duration of the contract signed by the TV station is different, and for the big teams, the TV station naturally wants to sign a long-term contract with them, while the small club will try their best to reduce the price.

This has resulted in some teams having long-term contracts, some having short-term contracts, and many small clubs have short-term contracts and have received relatively little funds, while large clubs have long contracts and large contracts, such as Juventus earned nearly 60 million euros in TV broadcast fees last year, which is more than ten times that of small clubs, and the income gap is very large.

One sentence stirred up a thousand waves, and Hugo released such words in front of reporters, which is no longer just a statement some time ago, but really has to be put into practice!

The first to support Hugo was Bari's boss Mattarese, who said in an interview: "The environment in Italian football should change, I think Gigi has a good idea, all of us should think about it, such a change is not only good for our league, but also good for the whole of Italian football!" ”

Since then, the owner of Cagliari, Massimo. Celino, Messina boss Franza, Brescia boss Corioni and so on have spoken in support, some of these people are Hugo's hardcore allies, such as Franza, he has a very close relationship with Hugo, Hugo also introduced him to cooperate with his cousin Morek this summer, they are all builders in Sicily, Hugo gave them the advice that they can be combined into one, integrate forces to make a lot of money, at present Franza is very interested, Morek is also interested in doing this.

As for the Cagliari boss and Brescia and other bosses are not familiar with Hugo, but in the summer they are both the side whose interests are damaged, Brescia has never negotiated with the TV station in Serie A, and he agreed to start the game only after the TV station bid 8 million euros!

Now, in the face of such a proposal that clearly seeks the benefit of small clubs, of course, they have to agree.

There must be people who oppose it, but they don't dare to say anything to their faces, Moggi is very reluctant for such a thing to happen, in international football, Juventus's broadcast contracts are all top-notch, no less than the top of the Premier League, why seek change?! If you change the top few places in the league, your income will drop sharply, which is not a good thing for Juventus's current situation.

"The contract we signed doesn't expire until 05, and I think it's too early to talk about it! I think it's understandable that Mr. Collanei wants to do as much as possible for the benefit of his team, but it's better to be cautious about change! ”

Moggie was playing haha while pointing out that Hugo was fighting for the interests of his team!

Amid the buzz, the Pro League held a Pro League Conference during the national team break.

All the owners of Serie A and Serie B participated in this game, Hugo also flew to Rome to participate in this meeting, there is no way to estimate the end time of such a meeting, Hugo now understands the morality of this group of people in Italy, what is profitable, prevarication is not uncommon, the election of a professional league president Galliani is the product of several compromises, delayed for several months, this meeting Hugo also intends to throw out this plan, no one knows what will happen at the professional league conference, maybe it will be a postponement.

Of course, this was what Hugo could have predicted, and the theme of the meeting was Galliani's nomination of vice-chairman, which was voted on, and there was a compromise earlier, and the matter quickly went smoothly, and Matarese sat as vice-chairman, the first person under Galliani.

The evening was everyone's event space, and Hugo invited Galliani to dinner in the evening, which was agreed in advance, and Galliani came as promised.

"I'm going to throw out my package sale plan at tomorrow's meeting!" Hugo's words were surprising, he hadn't told Galliani beforehand, and it was clear that he meant to force himself on the stage.

Galliani was furious, "You should have told me about this first!" ”

"I told you, I said at the right time, and I think the time is right now!" Hugo said in surprise.

Galliani just wants to say that I've seen shameless, I've never seen you so shameless, and you carry out a surprise attack at every turn, is that interesting?! Interesting?!

"Gigi, it's not that simple!" Galliani said earnestly.

"I know it's not that simple! It is precisely because it is not simple that we should be quick to cut the mess! If you want to be known by some well-intentioned people, there is a great possibility that this matter will be lost! Hugo said crisply.

Hugo said that Galliani fully understands, at present, it is mainly the national television station that is responsible for the live broadcast, they are state institutions, and political forces are also involved behind it, if the national television station reacts, they can continue to take the move of buying big clubs, increase the contracts of big clubs, these small clubs in Italy have some interests with big clubs, and maybe many small clubs will defect at that time, even if they take a package plan, the benefits of small clubs are limited, It is not possible to double it directly.

This summer, the national television station bought the live broadcast rights of the World Cup at a high price, and as a result, Italy went home to the top 16, and the national television station can be described as a heavy loss, they did not expect the black whistle, and did not expect the Italian people to be disappointed in this World Cup, the object of disappointment is the national team, but there is also FIFA, Italy was stunned out of the World Cup, resulting in the World Cup in the subsequent games in Italy ratings plummeted, and the advertising revenue of the national television station plummeted, which is the fundamental reason for their losses.

It is worth mentioning the president of Perugia, Luciano. Gao Qi made another amazing move, sweeping away the Korean player in the team An Zhenhuan directly, the reason for saying it is that the Koreans are now shouting and beating in Italians, in fact, An Zhenhuan is dispensable to Perugia, how can he be so brave in the club as in the national team, and secondly, An Zhenhuan is unwilling to return to Perugia, and the two sides broke down before the contract was terminated.

After the loss, the national television station had to find a way to make up for it, so it used the blood replenishment plan on Serie A and Serie B, and they tried to continue to squeeze small and medium-sized clubs, which made the already difficult TV broadcast contract even more difficult to complete.

"Are you trying to convince me now?!" Galliani immediately took the high ground.

"You can think so, too!" Hugo said with a grin.

"Then what reason did you use to convince me?!" Galiani said immediately.

"The reason is what I said before, Milan will definitely not be less in the new broadcast share than it is now!" Hugo said seriously.

"Why are you so sure?!"

"Because I plan to cooperate with Feinin West, new media to set up a sports communication company, and this company will compete for the live broadcast rights of Serie A and Serie B!" Hugo replied cautiously.
