Chapter Twenty-Six: The Roommate Is Uncle Embarrassing
Hugo is just a good face, just talking about it, he really doesn't think the coach is simple now, the deeper the contact, he is no longer the crazy guy who just came back.
Rich's registration is very smooth, nothing can't, such a project is to train the next generation of famous coaches for Italy, of course, the more seedlings the better, as long as you give money, you can go, of course, some levels of training require an invitation letter, Hugo is only a junior sign-up, no invitation letter is required.
Ricky began to tell Hugo that he couldn't get anything from this course, and that he had to take the UEFA.B course to get the certificate, and the coach who got the UEFA.B course could coach the team of the Italian family, and there were restrictions on the number of people who participated.
This time, Hugo participated in no conditions, it was like an interest class, so Hugo was able to sign up, of course, such a course will also attract many people who are interested in coaching, such as retired players or players who are about to retire.
Hugo's travel was not a big problem, he himself was used to it, from Palermo, by plane to Florence, it didn't take too long, in Rome in transit, arrived in Florence in the afternoon.
After renting a car, Hugo easily arrived at the Covilciano training base in the northeast corner of Florence, not far from the Stadio Frankie, the home of the Fiorentina football team.
Hugo wasn't going to live in the city center, he was going to be in the training base, because it seemed like there was a football stadium here, and he could play football here first, and he was really laughed at by Victor.
There were separate rooms available, but Hugo opted for the double room, and he came here for the purpose of getting to know more people in football, and Hugo expected that his roommate would be some great god (a famous player who has retired or is about to retire).
Before night, he was lying in bed, and saw the "great god" in his mind, a thirty-year-old in a sportswear walked in, when he saw Hugo, the great god was full of curiosity and doubts.
Before he could put his luggage, he asked, "Are you?!" ”
"Ji'an Luigi. Pasilio. Colenny! Hugo jumped up from the bed and held out his hand in reply.
"You're Sicilian?!" Hugo's speech has a more obvious Sicilian accent, which is obvious to people when they hear it, and the tone is a little discriminatory and not very satisfied.
"Yes!" Hugo was a little nervous, pulled out the hands he was holding together, and his tone was a little cold.
Sportswear smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't mean that, you know!" My name is Allegri. Massimiano! ”
"I used to be in Sicily, but I met robbers, uh, people were fine, the money was robbed, so I walked 5 kilometers!" Allegri explained.
Sicily is indeed so chaotic, five kilometers away from people, where did your teacher go, so miserable, Hugo's heart felt a little better, and accepted Allegri's explanation.
"There are good people in Sicily, like me!" Hugo said.
"I believe that!" Allegri put down his bag, "You look too young, you're here for a short training?!" ”
Nonsense!
"Of course, I'm younger, but I'm interested in being a coach, so hehe, I'll take a look!" Hugo explained.
"Nice to meet you!" Allegri may have felt that the greeting was not very harmonious, so he extended his hand again.
"I'm glad to meet too, you can call me Gigi, or Hugo! As for you, what can I call you?! Hugo said enthusiastically.
"You can call me by name, Allegri can!" Allegri said casually.
"No, it doesn't seem like we're intimate enough, how about I decide to call you Shabi?!" Hugo still decided to take a small revenge on Allegri, a small move.
"Shabi?!" Allegri is inexplicable, the difference between the pronunciation of my first name and last name is too big, nickname or nickname?!
"No, it's a sandwall! It is a transliteration of the Chinese dialect, which means very wise, and you look very wise, so I gave this nickname! Hugo waved his hand and smiled.
"Uh, thank you for the compliment! Shappie! I like it! You also look like Charpy, you can actually understand Chinese! Allegri also praised.
Uh, shoot yourself in the foot!
"No, I can't bear it, you can!" Hugo shook his head.
"Alright! You can call it whatever you want! Faced with the little ones, Allegri decided that it didn't matter.
"By the way, how about I invite you to dinner in the evening, it's my apology just now!" Allegri said apologetically.
"Okay, Shabi, you're such a good person! I've made up your friend! Hugo reached out and patted Allegri on the shoulder, what could Allegri do, he could only smile, this little brother was very active.
The dinner between the two of them was the famous local steak in Florence, and during the meal, the two had a good exchange, and Allegri learned that Hugo was actually the owner of the team, and he really couldn't understand how the owner had time to coach the team, even if it was a team in Italy.
"I really didn't expect you to be so young and have your own team! It's remarkable! Allegri exclaimed.
"It's nothing, it doesn't cost much! My interest came from last year's World Cup, and I thought I could also be a manager, a player, so that's how I came! Hugo smiled.
Damn, being rich is capricious, you can do whatever you want! Allegri secretly envied, thinking that he had been stumbling in various leagues all these years, and it was not for money!
"But being a coach is not easy!" Allegri said that he is a man who has worked with a lot of coaches and knows that it is not easy, especially now that the role of the coach is becoming more and more obvious.
"So I'll try it first, let's see!" Hugo said indifferently, and then asked, "What about you?!" How about it, I'm not young, and I plan to be a coach after retiring?! Where are you ......."
"Pescara!" Allegri added reluctantly.
Pescara is currently in Serie B, near Lazio, close to the capital, but for Hugo, of course, he does not know.
"What level is he!" Hugo's words always come and go, and before Allegri could answer the previous question, he moved on to another topic, and Allegri felt that Hugo's thinking was too jumpy.
"Serie B!" Allegri replied embarrassedly, he is now close to 32 years old, his career is at the end of his career, he has played in the lower leagues for a long time, and he also has the experience of playing for a first-division team, but he is a bench substitute most of the time, and the best time is only between the substitute and the main team, the team he has played the most is Napoli, but at that time Napoli has declined, Maradona has long been gone, and he is only a substitute, and he only plays 7 times a season plus a substitute.
Now he says that he plays for Pescara is not all true, to be precise, he played for Pescara last season, and now his contract is expiring, he is a free agent, he has no home, he is now ready to do both, on the one hand, looking for a new club, and on the other hand, he is coming to the training class to see if he is really interested in going down such a path.
"Well, that's good!" Hugo gave a thumbs up against his will and said, "I didn't expect you to be a player in Serie B!" ”
"I also played for Napoli!" Allegri said proudly.
"Ahh I didn't expect it! Disrespectful, disrespectful! Hugo was amazed and praised repeatedly.
"Alas, it's nothing! It's just a mixed bowl of rice! Allegri smiled wryly, who didn't have enthusiasm when they first played?! But when it comes to becoming a career, you have to think about belly, and Allegri is now looking for a bowl to eat, earn more money, and have a family to support.
"It's hard to even find a team right now!" Allegri accidentally penetrated the bottom, which was really an unintentional mistake.
"Hey, isn't it in Pescara?!" Hugo said strangely.
"Ahem, my contract with them ends at the end of this month! I need to find a new owner! Allegri was embarrassed for a moment, then returned to normal.
After listening to Allegri's self-introduction, Hugo thinks that this guy has been in the league above the third level for a long time, and he should still have some strength, now he is 32 years old, and he is old, but if his own team can count him, it is also good, this guy doesn't want a transfer fee!
Counting Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, Hugo asked tentatively: "I said, Shabi!" Seriously, I felt very kind when I saw you at first sight, and you and I seem to be very close! It's not difficult to find a job at your level, there's an opportunity right in front of you! ”
Damn, isn't that you! Allegri laughed in his heart, he didn't want to go to Trapani, this is the Italian team, it doesn't matter, the point is that he doesn't think Hugo can come up with that salary to match what he wants.
It's the late nineties, and compared with the crazy player salaries after N years, the current salary income is not worth mentioning, although today's Italian football is in the era of the mini-World Cup, but there is still a big gap between the salary and the future, but in Allegri's place, his goal is to be comparable to Italy's middle income after tax.
The salary he now gets in Pescara adds up, deducting taxes, about 40,000 US dollars a year, and an amateur club in Trapani can get it?! Are you kidding.
"Hehe, thank you, Hugo, but I appreciate your kindness, I think I still have the ability to play in a higher team!" Allegri smiled and shook his head and refused!
Don't mind, brother, let's talk about this slowly!
I haven't found a home for so long, so I came to join in the fun and see if I could take the UFEA certificate exam to find a way back, Hugo is not so stupid, he thinks this matter actually has to be discussed!
Note: Allegri is still playing in Pescara and not a free agent during this time period, please don't take it seriously, the plot needs to advance the time when he will become a free agent by one year.
