Chapter 30: Who is the goalkeeper looking for?
Hugo's joke had the desired effect, Marta smiled on Tony's arm, Tony smiled, and Sailly laughed boldly.
Tony knew that Hugo was really very attentive to himself, which couldn't help but increase his affection for Hugo.
"You said you need time to think! No problem, it's an easy question for me, if I were you, I would choose to believe in Mr. Colini as a person, he can do what he promises, and soon get Trapani on the top stage! Well, that assumption doesn't exist, so you need to think about your future! So tomorrow, whether you promise me or not, I hope to have the honor of inviting you to dinner, how about it?! Hugo still smiled sincerely.
"Well, I'll think about it! Marta and I are honored to accept your invitation! It will definitely come! Of course Tony would have accepted such kindness.
There was still some time before dinner, and Hugo originally planned to sign a contract to invite them to dinner, but now it is estimated that Tony has no intention of having dinner together at all, so he temporarily decided to change the dinner to tomorrow night.
At this point, everyone said a few words, and Tony and Marta naturally needed to go back and think about it, and Hugo called a car to see them off.
"Gigi, you're crazy! Such a salary is not reasonable at all, in fact he is not worth so much! Maybe in the future, but not now! After Tony left, Selli said that now he is like Trapani's transfer adviser, which is quite competent.
"Leo, can I say that what I said is true, do you really like him more?! So I changed my mind, I think he's worth the price, and besides, there's no transfer fee, which is compensation! Hugo said with a shrug.
In the transfer market, free players often have this advantage, and if they have the strength, they can ask for higher remuneration based on their free body.
"It makes me feel like you're headstrong! But that's not a bad thing, I hope you'll like me! Selly half-jokingly said that this guy was ringing the bell for Hugo.
"I said Leo, you can help me with peace of mind, you will be indispensable in the future! The benefits will not be shorter for you! Rest assured! "Hugo did think Leonardo. It's quite easy to use.
"Of course, that's for sure! Not to mention anything else, Alberto and I have been friends for many years, and you and I are also familiar at first sight, are we considered to have forgotten each other?! You think I can't do my best?! Sailly laughed busily.
"yes, so you can't be sorry for me! If Tony can't do it, we'll have to choose a few others......" Hugo sighed.
"Why not, it must work, I think he is already tempted, the more he thinks about it, the more he will accept our invitation more and more!" Cellly interrupted Hugo and hurriedly spoke.
Hugo thinks about it, it seems to be like this, no one can pass this level with millions in front of him, not to mention that Tony is not young now, maybe he has some degree of doubt about his career path, why not take the opportunity to make a profit, the money is moving!
"Now you should talk to me about the goalkeeper!" Hugo said that in addition to the striker in the past few days, Sailly also got some information about the goalkeeper to Hugo, but because of Tony's matter, Hugo did not think seriously about Sailly's introduction, and now he has to ask Sailly again.
"I mean, it's better to have an experienced goalkeeper! Gigi, the goalkeeper position is very important, and a good goalkeeper can reduce a lot of goals conceded! From our scout's point of view, the goalkeeper must be judged by his height and reflexes, and if these are outstanding, then after systematic training, he will have the potential to become a good goalkeeper. ”
"From the perspective of your team, I think it is more appropriate to sign an experienced and older goalkeeper, such a goalkeeper is not lacking in experience first, and most of them have long and systematic training experience, and they may have a decline in flexibility in terms of technical movements, but this is very enough for your team!"
"And if you choose young goalkeepers, they don't have a lot of practical experience and they have a lot of shortcomings in handling the ball, which is not a good deal for a team like yours! The old goalkeeper can be used for two years, and the more excellent goalkeeper can be added in the future, and the cost will not be too big now! ”
Sailly's opinion was very pertinent, Hugo nodded, and said: "Among the goalkeepers you mentioned, which one do you tend to choose?!" ”
The goalkeepers mentioned by Sailly are all veterans who have been in the lower leagues for many years, and the youngest is 31 years old.
"Ferredy. Bochetti! He's been playing for Serie B for a couple of years, which I think is a perfect fit for you, and now he's 33 years old, so it's certainly not very demanding, and if you can promise a place at the club after retiring, I don't think he will refuse! Selli didn't hesitate to give the answer.
Hugo doesn't seem to know anything about goalkeepers, but he doesn't like to bring in veterans, he prefers to have a long-term and stable goalkeeper, such as a young player, the price is definitely cheaper than Bocchetti, and there is investment value.
At the beginning, Giorgio said that we should strengthen the goalkeeper because Trapani's goalkeeper is really too amateurish, there is no special training, the technical movements are not standardized, the experience is a fart, and it is still not good to handle the ball.
Although Selly was drugged, it was not to Hugo's appetite.
"Too old! Besides, Tony has already paid a lot of money here, and I really can't afford to budget the goalkeeper more! "This is actually what Hugo is more dissatisfied with.
Sailly can understand that the young goalkeeper must invest less in salary than Bocchetti, but this is not much less, Bochetti can't be too much, Sailly estimates that a salary of 3-50,000 US dollars can be done.
But since Hugo had spoken, Sailly could only listen, and the two of them went back to the garden to discuss.
"Aren't there a lot of teams looking for people from abroad right now?! Why don't we do that?! Hugo asked.
Sailly was speechless for a while, the boss is recruiting foreign players, but the price is not low, how many players who can land in Europe have a few brushes, and in the position of goalkeeper, the current Italian football world is almost controlled by locals, Italy has a lot of experience in training goalkeepers, and it is summarized in a book, resulting in many old goalkeepers are still active on the stage of Serie A, like Pagliuca and others are in their thirties, and they are still reliable goalkeepers.
Where does Italy need to bring in goalkeepers from abroad, not to mention what you have in Trapani to attract people to join.
"There are a lot of immigrants from Africa in Palermo, so can't you recruit potential refugees in this group of refugees?!" Without waiting for Selly to answer, Hugo asked.
The chaos in Sicily is not only the local political environment, but also has something to do with a large number of African immigrants entering Europe through Sicily, Palermo is a hard-hit area, and there are many smuggling things, so the Italian government is quite troubled to see a lot of African immigrants in Palermo, but some people in Sicily are happy to see it, after all, these African immigrants are very cheap labor, and the local government is just turning a blind eye to a certain extent.
This proposal made Selli use his brains, the aforementioned foreign countries are mainly in the United States and Eastern Europe, and players like Africa are not that valuable at all, and there is also a place where football is not very developed, but in recent years, Africa's football strength has grown significantly in Sellly's insiders, and many good players have emerged in several World Cups. Weah is one of them, and he is an international superstar who has won the Ballon d'Or for Milan!
"You reminded me! I'm afraid it's hard to find the seedlings you want among the immigrants, what do you expect from them?! "But I can collect some information about African players!" Maybe you can find good seedlings from it! But it will take time, I'm afraid it will take about half a month! ”
"It's been too long!" Hugo shook his head.
"No way, I know very little about Africa, I can only collect it through friends, and it's not easy, we don't have the advantage of the French side for Africa!" Sailly said, spreading his hands.
What he said is also the truth, and when he talks about this matter, he has to mention the problem of the colonies, Italy has a bit of territory in North Africa and East Africa, and there is no influence and network among the African football powers that have emerged in recent years, and France is different, and several football powers in Africa are French-speaking and have a natural affinity.
Selijan still has to spend a little effort to find it, but of course it is also good for him, if he can open this line, and find some young African talents to Italy can also make a lot of money.
The north of Italy is very different from the south, not only in terms of culture but also in terms of climate, and the weather in Milan at the end of June is much milder than in Sicily, where Tony and Marta are strolling the streets of Milan while Hugo and Cerly are struggling to play for the team.
The two of them in the car returning from Hugo did not speak, Tony was considering his decision, and Marta was also considering whether he should persuade Tony to accept Hugo's invitation, an invitation to come to his Italian team.
"He's a gentleman!" Marta tightened her grip on Tony's hand and said.
This is a very high evaluation for a person from Sicily, because the northerners have a really low opinion of the southerners, and they are often full of titles such as thieves and robbers, and the word gentleman is rarely used by northerners to southerners.
Marta didn't say this in person, but when she was with her lover, it shows that she still has a very good sense of Hugo in her heart!
