my name is colane

Chapter 555 Violent Serie A 1
Not everyone is Hugo, Zamparini is not. There are many extreme fan organizations in Palermo, and many extreme fan organizations are also connected with the Palermo club. They are doing illegal things such as scalpers. On the surface, laws and regulations prohibit clubs from selling tickets to extreme fan organizations, but many clubs still turn a blind eye under pressure.

The teams in the north are like this, and so are the teams in the south!

There was an incident in Rome. During the game, there were rumors that a Roma fan died on the match day. The extreme fans in Rome immediately incited the fans to make trouble in the stadium and asked Rome to stop the game. It was useless for Totti to say it. That game was interrupted for quite some time, until the news that the Roma fan had died was proved to be false.

Totti told Spalletti at the time: "They won't let us play, keep playing and they will kill us!"

This incident fully demonstrates the strength of the extreme fan organization. As early as more than a year ago, Hugo actively promoted the real-name ticket system. This is of great use to the extreme fans of Trapani, but it is of little use to other teams. Big, because the stands of those extreme fans are fixed, no one dares to sit in their seats at will, and these extreme fans do not buy tickets themselves, but through organizations!
If you don’t sell tickets to them, you will wait for the stands to be empty. Big clubs don’t want to break up with extreme fans. Generally, they have the most fan groups, and offending more means economic loss.

Small clubs dare not make enemies with extreme fans, and Hugo's friend Franza has to succumb to the extreme fans organization, because they are no different from the mafia.

In the second round of the No.20 league, the whole of Sicily seems to be in a tense state. In order to avoid accidents in the weekend game, Catania applied to the professional league and the Football Association to advance the home game against Palermo.

Although Catania was very careful, there was still a big mess on the day of the game. Because of the referee's controversial penalty, Palermo took the lead. Catania fans began to clamor in the stadium, and Palermo's Fans attacked each other through barbed wire.

They threw fireworks into the stadium, burned things in the stands, and filled the scene with smoke. It was like a war. The game was interrupted. The riot police arrested dozens of fans in the stands to quell the dispute and let the game proceed smoothly.

In the end the game was won by Palermo, but the story didn't end there. During the riots at the stadium, a policeman was hit in the face by a paper bomb by an extreme fan of Catania during the course of his mission, and later in the riots. After being trampled by fans, after the incident subsided, he was sent to the hospital but failed to be rescued, and eventually died.

Fan riots are not uncommon, and some fans also lost their lives because of this, but that situation is far less shocking than a policeman, because the police represent the state authority, and the particularity of Sicily means that killing a policeman here will definitely Being traced to the end, the influence will only be greater.

The chairman of the Football Association announced the indefinite postponement of the league at the first time. He made such a result that it was not the wish of the clubs. After all, what does the fact that Sicily is Sicily have anything to do with us? !But the clubs have to accept such an arrangement. Such a suspension request can be thought of with the toes as the government's intention. This is a politically correct issue.

The president of Palermo and the president of the professional league Zamparini condemned such a violent conflict at the first time. He is an outsider, and he was afraid of the extreme fans in Palermo. This time the incident became serious, Zampari Ni immediately took the opportunity to fire.

"This is the darkest day in Italian football. If this environment is not improved, the future of Italian football is bleak!"

Hugo is in Rome, he is not in Sicily, he knew what happened through Catania Chairman Pulvellenti, after the incident happened in Pulvellenti, the first thing he thought was to find Hugo, he has influence in the political and business circles They are all restricted, and I am afraid that this big board will hit his ass.

The only thing he can find is Hugo. Hugo has a certain influence in the political, business and football circles. The former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has a good relationship with him, and the current Prime Minister Prodi has a good relationship with Hugo. Since Prodi came to power , has met Hugo three times, and at least got acquainted with each other. Pulverenti hopes that Hugo can speak in front of the government. Because a policeman died in this incident, it is bound to rise to the political level and cause a stir. Huge storm.

"I owe you a favor! Gigi, you have to help me anyway!" Pulverenti asked Hugo.

This matter is big or small for the Catania club, but the big thing is that his position as the chairman has ended. If the investigation continues, the club's inextricable relationship with the extreme fan organization will be pulled out by the roots. This chairman is about to come to an end.

But small, this matter is analyzed separately, it happened in the stadium, every time such a derby, the main force of security is the police, the security personnel of the Catania club are powerless at all, so the responsibility cannot be fully attributed to the Catania club , perhaps plausible.

Anyway, that's what Pulverenti thought, and he hoped Hugo could help.

"Hehe!" Hugo sneered, "Antonio, you are so naive. Now a policeman has died. If there is no accident, this incident will soon become the focus of the football world, and it is also a political incident. Can you guarantee that the group of extreme fans Just for the sake of controversy and punishment?! Isn’t there any political appeal?!”

Hugo doesn't believe it. As far as he knows, nine out of ten extreme fan organizations are politically inclined, either to the left or to the right. It's not that simple, so the darkness in Italian football also comes from this. Political forces Infiltrated the football world.

"Who can tell now?!" said Pulverenti.

"They are not even afraid of the police, you still can't tell?! Not many people have the guts to attack the police on their own initiative!" Hugo had just heard Pulverenti's description clearly, and Pulverenti said that the anger The soaring fans directly attacked the police, and not only one policeman was killed, but many policemen were injured. Hugo probably felt that this might have something to do with politics, and this group of fans might take the opportunity to make trouble.

"What should I do?!" Pulverenti said foolishly. This guy was originally a capable businessman, and he was very successful in shipping. Now he was "scared to pee" when he encountered such a thing. He was really timid. .

"Hey, what are you afraid of! The worst result of this matter is that you give up Catania. Could it still send you to prison?!" Hugo said in relief.

It's true, big or small, the worst case scenario for Pulvellenti is to be ordered out of football, and the odds of that happening are far too small, unless Pulvellenti is actually committing some serious violations. A matter of laws and regulations.

"When something like this happened, our professional league has to do something! Antonio, do you hate those bastards of extreme fans?!" Hugo thought of one thing.

"You think I want to mess with those bastards?! They are all villains, controlling the stands, and threatening me that if I don't cooperate with them, they will turn the stadium into empty stands and bring down the club!" Pulvellenti He gritted his teeth and said, what he said expressed the helplessness of many teams. Big balls are difficult to control, and small balls are even harder to control. Catania's extreme fan organization is simply like the club's overlord.

But many bosses hate it, but they all tolerate it. Why, because after all, cooperation achieves a win-win situation. Club owners are people who know how to cooperate best. He would feel that it is no big deal to cooperate with the extreme fan organization. Anyway, the Catania club did not lose any money. The real sufferers were just the low-level fans. Most of the money of the extreme fan organization came from the low-level fans.
