My name is Colani

In Rosario, Argentina, Messi's family's residence, today Messi's family welcomed important guests, Hugo and Selli.

It's already after Christmas. After Mazzarri took office, Trapani finally got on the winning track. The first half of the league has ended. In 17 league games, Trapani won 10 games, drew 4 games and lost 3 games, and got 34 points. It is currently ranked second in the standings. The opponents in the same group of League C2 know that this time the wolf is really coming.

The three games lost were the three consecutive losses at the beginning. Since then, Mazzarri has never let the team lose a game. Sometimes the state is not good and it is very thrilling, but the team did not lose in the end.

Hugo finally felt that he was a little bored staying in the team, and thought of going out to play. He thought of Messi, so he took Selli to the warm Pampas, to Rosario, to Messi's home.

The Messi family was very happy to see Hugo, and Hugo's unannounced visit did not make them unhappy.

The Messi family's house has a lot of history. It was built by Jorge Messi and his father. The house was built on their own land. A large family lived together, including grandparents.

Selli has been here several times. Even when the Messi family returned to Argentina, Hugo never lost contact with them. Selli often came to Argentina to visit them under Hugo's arrangement to learn about Messi's condition and his development in football.

At Jorge's invitation, Hugo and Selli sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Jorge's family members also sat around.

"I'm really happy to see you, Mr. Colemani!" Jorge said excitedly, holding Hugo's hand. In his eyes, Hugo is the best man in the world. In addition to giving Messi the best treatment every year, he also pays Messi a salary directly. A salary of $100,000 is enough for Messi to live a good life in Serie A.

Hugo had told Jorge that he should stop working and just take care of his children. However, Jorge continued to work after returning to Argentina, but his wife Celia quit her job to take care of the children at home. They have three sons and a daughter.

"I am glad to see you too! Mr. Messi!" Hugo said with a smile, "Please forgive me, I have a lot of work, so I can't take time to visit you! Now I am very happy to see that you are living well!"

Messi's little sister is still a 5-year-old girl. Seeing Hugo, she is full of curiosity and always hides beside Messi and looks at Hugo with her eyes rolling around.

Hugo waved at her with a smile. The little girl looked at Messi, who nodded and motioned her to come over. The little girl boldly approached Hugo. Hugo took her little hand and asked, "What's your name?! Little sister!"

Celia looked at Hugo's expression and wanted to laugh. He looked like a big brother with bad intentions.

"My name is Maria!" The little girl answered crisply.

"Okay, Maria, look at what this is?!" Hugo took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket. He got this chocolate from the hotel room. He originally wanted to eat it himself, but now he used it as a tool to tease the child.

Children are easily tempted by food. Maria happily took it, peeled it and ate it, and didn't forget to say "Thank you, uncle!"

Hugo immediately blackened his eyes and said to Jorge in a wronged manner: "Do I look old?!"

Everyone laughed and talked for a while. Hugo asked Jorge, "I plan to invite your family to Trapani to watch a football game! I wonder if you have time?!"

"Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Colani! In fact, our family also has Italian ancestry. My great-grandparents immigrated from Italy. Our family has never been to Italy. We also want to go and see it!" Jorge said happily.

"Really?!" Hugo really didn't know about this. He rolled his eyes. This doesn't mean that Messi is also eligible to apply for Italian citizenship. Italy recognizes dual citizenship anyway. As long as there is definite evidence to prove that Messi's ancestors came from Italy, it will be fine.

"Yes, it is said that they came from Ancona!" Jorge said.

"Mr. Messi, I know that Matias is also playing football in Newell's Old Boys now. I want to take him to Trapani. What do you think?!" Hugo asked.

Messi's family, three brothers all play football. Messi was discovered with his eldest brother Rodrigo. Rodrigo used to play for Newell's Old Boys and was a forward attacker. However, because of an accident, he no longer plays football, while the second brother Matias is still in the youth team of Newell's Old Boys.

Jorge immediately expressed his willingness.

Hugo did this just to please Messi's family. Now a year has passed, and under active treatment, Messi's stature has obviously increased. Hugo thinks that it is not a dream for him to play for him in the future. Maybe he can be used in Serie A.

Matias is four years older than Messi, but he is not a good comrade. He is a bad boy and seems to lack discipline on weekdays. Jorge agreed with Hugo's proposal and hoped that Matias would change to a new environment.

Matias was not happy to go to Italy and looked embarrassed. He had no talent for playing football and was just a soy sauce man in Newell's old buddies.

Hugo had no idea what this guy was like. Seeing that he was unwilling, he didn't force him, so he smiled and said, "If you don't want to, I won't force you!"

Jorge glared at Matias. It was obvious that Matias's silence had said it all.

Mattias lowered his head and refused to say anything.

"Mr. Messi, don't blame him! It's always hard for young children to leave home! It's understandable!" Hugo said again.

"I want to go!" Little Messi stood up and said, "I want to play football!"

"Haha, of course I will welcome you very much!" Hugo laughed when he saw this. He was very happy that Messi could say this, on his own initiative.

He thought for a moment and said, "Leo, you know what?! You should play for the best team in the world, the top team! And Trapani is obviously not the best team now. I won't say my team is the best team in the world, but I can guarantee that it will become the best team in the world in the future. No team can be better than it!"

"To be precise, Trapani is not even comparable to Newell's Old Boys now!" Hugo made another comparison, "So you know what I want to say. I said my team is not worth playing for! When we get to the A-League, I think I should be able to invite you reluctantly!"

There are two teams in Rosario, one is Rosario Central and the other is Newell's Old Boys. The Messi family is a loyal fan of Newell's Old Boys, but Newell's Old Boys was only a champion once, and its strength is very average now.

Hugo said Trapani was not as good as them, and the Messi family had an idea. Jorge Messi knew that Trapani was only a fourth-level league team in Italy, and it was normal that it was not as strong as Newell's Old Boys.

Hugo's words also reflected his optimism about Messi from the side, which made Jorge Messi very proud.

"Mr. Colemani, you have done a lot for our family! Although you said at the beginning that you saw Leo's talent and you hope he can play for you, our family has always been very grateful to you! Although your team is not the best now, I believe it will be the best one day! Whether it is the best or not, Leo deserves to play!" Jorge Messi also expressed his opinion.

Hugo expressed his satisfaction, and he liked Jorge Messi's statement.

After the visit to Messi's family, Hugo returned to Buenos Aires. He and Selli came to Argentina not only to visit Messi, but also to establish more relationships here, hoping to find more partners.

Another purpose of this visit is to visit Gustavo Mascati, the largest human trafficker in Argentina. He is a descendant of Italians. In the colonial period of South America, most of the continents were under the influence of the Spanish and Portuguese. Therefore, the descendants of many South American countries are basically people from these two countries, but there are also many descendants of Italians. Italy, Spain and Portugal are all Latin countries, and they are similar in some customs. In the late 19th century, many Italians immigrated to the Pampas from south to north in Italy.

When describing his compatriots, the Argentine writer Borges once wrote jokingly: "Argentines are a group of Italians speaking Spanish. Not only that, they also think like the French and try to become British."

From the words of the great writer, we know that there are many Italian descendants in Argentina. Hugo saw that Messi's family had a relationship with Italy, and so did Mascati, who was about to meet now. Moreover, they were more pure than Messi's family, because their family had been intermarried with Italian descendants for generations, but Messi's family was not. Messi's mother and grandmother were both Spanish of Catalan descent.
