Chapter 225: Speak harshly to Zeman
The next day Hugo went to Moratti's villa, and there was some communication, and Moratti's support was obtained, in fact, in the long run, it is good for everyone to package and sell, Hugo said that the most important reason is that the competition mechanism can be introduced, and the national television station can no longer be because it is local, so the building is close to the water first, and in the future, there will not only be Hugo their new company to compete with him, and even foreign capital to compete with them, so they will either increase the offer or give up, In any case, it is beneficial to the clubs of Serie A and Serie B, and it is not necessarily beneficial to the big clubs.
As mentioned earlier, the three strong families in the north are very bullish, and the most bullish among them is, of course, the Agnelli family, even if Berlusconi is the prime minister and the state administration is in power, but the Agnelli family only needs the older generation of Giovanni. Agnelli and Umberto. Agnelli is not dead, and their family still has a strong influence in Italian politics and business, which in turn gives them great energy in the football world.
Zeman accused Juventus of using banned drugs, and then the Olympic Committee and other institutions carried out an investigation, which is obviously a well-known thing, but now there is still no final verdict, logically speaking, they should be punished, but there is no news so far, which shows the story behind this.
If you really want to say that the Agnelli family certainly doesn't want Juventus to be such a team, but their old people are old, Umberto and Giovanni are in their seventies and eighties, and it is impossible to have much energy to manage the team, not to mention that their family has a big business and controls a huge industry, they are not like Hugo who can throw their business to Julia. Bonaparte, they have to do it themselves, their energy is spent on business, they don't interfere much in Juventus's affairs, and it is right to say that the bad things are attributed to Moggi's head.
The Fiat Group's business is now showing signs of decline, the Agnelli family is even more anxious, and the Big Three such as Moggi are covering the sky with one hand in Juventus.
When Moggi was a shrewd man, he sold Vieri to Atletico Madrid, and the Agnelli family was kept in the bones. Agnelli was so angry that he was helpless, this Juventus looked like he was at the helm of Moggi, and Agnelli really couldn't let him go because of Vieri.
Hugo has a good impression of little Mogie, but he has no good impression of old Moggie, this birdman is not a good person at first glance, and when he arrived in Turin in mid-November, he didn't see Juventus's current big three, Bertega, Giraudo, Moggie, but directly invited John. Elkan.
This man is Giovanni. Agnelli's grandson, but he is indeed the successor of the Agnelli family, the successor of the Fiat Group, whom Giovanni designated, and whose choice of heir is no different from that of the Colini.
Just like the original meeting of the Colleni family, it was established to train Alda. As the heir to the family, it was a very deliberate decision that she would one day take charge of the business of the Coleni family, while Victor would be excluded.
John. This is how Elkan's position as successor came about, Hugo did not want to deal with Agnelli, who was seventy or eighty, he preferred to deal with the young John. Elkan deals, after all, Elkan is only 26 now, only four years older than Hugo, and is more receptive to new things than older people, Hugo also feels that he can be casual.
From the bottom of his heart, Hugo doesn't think much of this guy who grew up with a golden key, Lao Tzu is self-made, he is only three generations rich, but he still has to be very polite on face.
The meeting place of the two was a café in Turin, Hugo invited Elkan because there was a business to talk about, Elkan was very interested, Hugo did not appreciate him, but he admired Hugo very much, he thought that Hugo, a well-known person, was much better than him, Hugo said that there was a business to talk about, and Erkan had a strong interest without saying anything, and the meeting was a matter of course.
The enthusiastic Elkan made Hugo a little uncomfortable, and Elkan smiled: "Although I am a few years older, I really feel that you are better than me!" ”
It turns out that you are a crush brother! Hugo smiled secretly, we can't do it with two catties, but I'm a traverser!
The elite young people of the two major business circles spent a pleasant afternoon in the café, the transaction came naturally, the Agnelli family's industry is not only cars and airplanes, they have made a great contribution to Italy's economic recovery after World War II, creating a lot of jobs, involving a variety of industries, Ferningwest is engaged in media, the Agnelli family also has it, and the shareholders behind Milan Sports also have Agnelli's company, so Hugo's idea was easily agreed to by Elkan, and he wanted to establish some kind of relationship with Hugo, Good relationship, he thinks Hugo has a great future, which is a good thing for him, and it is not a bad thing to have a capable friend.
Hugo said that day in Garlando, "Two different things! It means that it is one thing to unite Italian professional football clubs to reach a package sale, and it is another thing to win over the family behind it to set up a sports communication company, and the two things are connected, but they are not complementary to each other.
Now that Hugo has done the first thing, he can't wait to submit a request for a professional league meeting to pass a resolution to avoid too many busy nights.
However, no matter how anxious he is, he has to prepare materials, and the proposal he proposed will inevitably face criticism from many club presidents.
For half a month, Hugo summoned Garlando and others, and was in Trapani to negotiate with him the terms of the package sale, this agreement includes how to divide the direct dial fee for the sale, how much to divide equally, and how much to give according to the ranking, which is based on the budget according to the existing contract of the national television station, in short, to avoid too much damage to the big clubs, and to allow the small clubs to get benefits.
Trapani's ball game, Hugo didn't watch much, and as for Victor, he left it behind.
At the beginning of December, Hugo and the presidents of the clubs such as Matarese, Zamparini, Franza and Sensi asked Galliani to organize a temporary professional league meeting, and Galliani knew it and agreed to convene a meeting of members on December 10 to discuss the issue of selling the broadcast rights in a package.
Trapani was a bit difficult during this period, after the absence of Ronaldo and Pepe, Zeman let Luriga and Evra, Palladino and others to the winger position, but the effect was not very good, average, so Trapani only won two games in the last 6 rounds, one draw, three defeats, the team's points are only 18 points, ranking eleventh, the same island opponents Palermo and Messina have higher points than Trapani, ranking above Trapani, Trapani is currently 8 points away from Sampdoria at the top of the table, Fortunately, this point difference is still within Hugo's tolerance.
Of course, he was quite unhappy with the current situation, and after losing the away game to Lecce on December 8, Hugo approached Zeman, who told him, "The team is not the way it is! It's true that I've always taken the trouble to invite you, but the team's results are like this, I really don't know how long you can stay in this position?! ”
This is a serious warning, but Zeman deserves it, Trapani did make mistakes in the summer transfer market, but he also bought Miku, even if the squad is indeed a little thin, it is an indisputable fact that Zeman is partly responsible.
Zeman, a stubborn old man, still did not bow his head, he declared, "I know the situation is not good now, but I am confident, you give me a little time, if it does not improve before the winter break, I will take the blame and resign!" ”
"Well, that's what you said! If you don't meet the requirements, you know how to do it! "Hugo doesn't really want to fire Zeman, but he can't help it if his results are too bad, he has to be replaced!
Substitution?! Hugo thought of a man, Mazzal!
Alas, I wonder if this guy is willing to come back and lead the team?! Mazzari is still in charge of League 31.
Talking to Zeman, Hugo was not satisfied, and he found Toney to his office, Toni is still Trapani's most consistent scorer this season, and has scored 10 goals in the league so far, which is a lot lower than the same period last year, but considering that Trapani's offense is weak now, and the defense is a bunch of holes, this is ten goals is quite good.
"I think I've made a fucking loss-making deal, and Miku doesn't seem to be showing his strength!" Hugo shook his head and complained to Tony, who was like his older brother and would always complain to Tony without hesitation.
Toni could only smile wryly, Miku was very surprised at first, and then somehow, the form began to slump and did not play at the level he should have, which was one of the factors that the team was in trouble.
"Luka, tell me what's going on with the team?! I think Zeman is a parallel commodity, the offense is not strong now, and the defense is not good, so if we continue like this, we are afraid that we will have to say goodbye to the upgrade! Hugo said unhappily.
"Have you spoken to Mr. Zeman?!" Tony asked.
"We talked about it yesterday, and I said that if it continues like this, I'm afraid I'll have to fire him!"
Before Hugo could finish speaking, Tony cut off and said, "No, you should give him a little more time now!" Now everyone in the team still supports him! ”
"Oh?! I thought he had lost your trust! Hugo said.
"The slump is only short-lived, Joao came too late this season and just now Mr. Zeman's main players Cristiano and Simeone have been injured one after another, it is not easy for Trapani, the team needs to find a new balance!" Tony defends Zeman.
"Hehe, since you say so, then I'll wait! Anyway, this season I want to be promoted, whether it's a direct promotion or a promotion to the play-offs! If the team continues to be in this form, I will have to deal with Zeman, and a change is not necessarily a bad thing! ”
"Substitution?! Can substitutions still stick to the team's tactical style?! Tony asked rhetorically.
