My name is Colani

Chapter 159 Trip to Milan 1

Needless to say, the players were very happy because Hugo fulfilled his promise at the dinner and gave everyone a promotion bonus, the amount of which satisfied everyone.

The next day, Hugo called Marina Berlusconi again. He had an idea. Trapani's management had not seen much of the world. Hugo wanted to take them with him when he went to Milan to visit and inspect what the big clubs were like.

Marina Berlusconi was not very interested in football, but this was Hugo's request, which was not a difficult thing for her. She agreed, gave Hugo Galliani's phone number, and told Hugo that Galliani would contact him.

Galliani is Marina's uncle. When Berlusconi took over Milan, Galliani followed him into the club management and has always been Berlusconi's right-hand man. Considering that Berlusconi later joined politics, his daughter Marina Berlusconi became the real power in business. Galliani is the one who can make the decision on the affairs of the Milan club.

Of course, Galliani can't help but give Marina's face even if she is an elder. For him, it is a small case for Trapani Club to come to study. After receiving Marina's request, Galliani readily agreed, and soon called Hugo and agreed that Hugo and his friends could go there on May 9, and he would definitely receive them in person at that time.

Hugo didn't care whether Galliani received them personally or not. Of course, Galliani's statement made Hugo look up to him. After all, he is a veteran who has been in the football world for more than 20 years. We have to learn the way of life well.

On the afternoon of May 9, Hugo arrived at Linate Airport with Seli, Giorgio, Victor, Morek, Lu Fan and others. Galliani arranged a special car to pick up Hugo and his friends and took them to the pre-arranged hotel, where Galliani was waiting for them.

"Hello! Mr. Galliani! Nice to meet you!" Hugo stretched out his hand, "I am Gianluigi Pasilio Colani!"

"Haha, no need to introduce you, we know each other, I've seen you on TV! You're a celebrity!" Galliani stretched out his hand and smiled.

"This is our general manager Giorgio Esposito, this is Leonardo Seli, our transfer director, this is my cousin, the club's deputy manager Alessandro Morek, this is my brother, the club's chairman Victor Pasilio Colani, and this is my friend Lu Fan!" Hugo introduced Galliani one by one.

Galliani smiled and shook hands with everyone politely. He knew Hugo, but he didn't know anyone else. However, he smiled in his heart when he heard the introduction. Trapani is completely a family business. Look at the two brothers among the top executives!

When he shook Victor's hand, Victor was very excited. He is a Milan fan!

"I'm excited to see you! I'm very happy! I'm very proud!" Victor held Galliani's hand with both hands like a big clamp and said loudly, "Milan's glory is created by you! I cheer for you!"

Seeing Victor's incoherent and flattered look, Hugo wanted to say, sister, you don't know that you are a Milan fan, but you can't do this.

Galliani tried to pull out his hand with a bitter face, because Victor's hand was very strong and it hurt Galliani.

Victor was still complimenting Galliani. Hugo coughed and shouted, "Okay, okay, Victor, you've hurt Mr. Galliani's hand! Look at Mr. Galliani's face, how ugly!"

"Really?!" Victor quickly let go of his hand.

Galliani quickly smiled, "It's okay, it's okay! Mr. Colemani, I don't deserve your praise. The team's achievements are all due to Mr. Berlusconi! Without him, there would be nothing in Milan!"

"That's right, the old guy didn't do anything good, but he did a great thing for Milan!" Victor said as if talking to himself.

Galliani was very upset. What kind of person is this young lady?

But what made Galliani even more astonished was that the younger brother of Mr. Colani, Mr. Colani, also echoed: "Victor, I am very happy that you have analyzed Mr. Berlusconi so dialectically. This is correct. Berlusconi, well, has not made much as prime minister, but he is still okay in business!"

"Ah, Mr. Galliani, don't be angry! We are just talking about the facts, no malice! You can take it as a joke, a good-natured joke!" Hugo turned to Galliani and said with a smile without waiting for Galliani to express his dissatisfaction.

Galliani is not as impolite as the Colani brothers. He said with a breath: "No, I won't be angry, but it's not very friendly to talk about Mr. Berlusconi like this!"

"You are right, we should be more disciplined on his territory!" Hugo said to Victor with a smile.

Everyone around was holding back their laughter.

"Mr. Galliani, let's not joke! I have the same admiration for you as Victor, and my respect for you comes from the heart! Milan Club is standing on the top of the Alps, and we in Trapani are now just Above the sea level! You are a great god, we are a little monster! It is true that Berlusconi has made a great contribution to the glory of Milan, but in my mind you are also a great contributor to the glory of Milan! There are many experiences worth learning from, and I hope you will not hesitate to teach me!" Hugo returned to his serious attitude, but he still praised Galliani in his words.

Even though the Coleni brothers seemed not to be too interested in Berlusconi, their words spoke highly of Galliani, which made even the veteran "dogleg" Galliani unable to remain cold-faced.

"Mr. Colaini, you are too polite!" Galliani said with a polite smile.

"Mr. Galliani, you are all our uncles. Since Victor and I respect you very much! Don't be so outspoken. You can call me Gigi or Hugo!" Hugo said with a smile, Galli Yanni is still capable, and he is good at dealing with people. Hugo really appreciates him.

"Okay, Gigi, if you need help, I still have some contacts in the football circle, and I am willing to help you! Since you are Marina's good friend, then you are my friend! You can be free these two days Look anywhere in Milan, you can go to Milanello, the headquarters, the stadium!" Galliani immediately expressed his position.

"Thank you so much!" Hugo expressed his gratitude without any words. It is important to learn from other people's experience, especially in terms of management. Milan's achievements do not only rely on the players, but more importantly, the team's management.

Team management is very important in the club. Whenever the team's top management is in turmoil, the team's performance cannot be guaranteed to be good. Even the best players can produce good results with terrible management.

It’s not Hugo’s first day coming into contact with football. This fact is very clear.

Perhaps it was because Hugo was Marina's "friend" that Galliani was so interesting that he even invited Hugo and the others to have dinner together in the evening.

At dinner, Galliani talked about the history of Milan, the past and the future. Milan was previously coached by Zaccheroni, who started his career in Udinese and was later chosen by Galliani to come to Milan. Coaching, the results were brilliant in the first season. They won the Serie A championship, but the second season was not good, and now the third season is even worse. The results in the league were not good. In the second round of the Champions League, they failed in the group stage. After being eliminated, Milan had no choice but to kick him away for the sake of results. The current firefighting coach is Cesar Maldini, the coach of Italy during the 1998 World Cup.

After Maldini took over Milan, Milan's performance was still tepid and there was not much improvement.

Galliani's words were full of memories and memories of the Three Musketeers era. He really wanted Milan to return to that peak, but the current Milan is not the same as it was then, let alone Juventus, Lazio, and Roma. Even compared to their rivals Inter Milan, their strength is inferior. Of course, Zaccheroni should not be solely responsible for poor results. Milan's management also needs to be held responsible. Their performance in the transfer market is not very impressive.

Galliani's words revealed his admiration for Turkish coach Terim. Turkish coach Terim is one of the few Turkish coaches who can gain a foothold in the five major leagues. He led Galatasaray to the fourth consecutive season last season. Champion, was chosen by Fiorentina. He is coaching in Florence this season. On January 14th at Fiorentina’s home court, Fiorentina, coached by Terim, beat Milan 4:0. Berlusconi did not go to the away game to watch that game. But he was extremely angry and disappointed with Zaccheroni.

In just one game, Milan's two top executives felt that Trim was very good. When Zaccheroni dismissed get out of class, Galliani naturally thought of this famous Turkish coach. Hugo said that he would invite Trim to be the head coach and would recruit heavily in the summer.

By saying this, Galliani must have received a commitment from Berlusconi and was willing to give money to the team.

Playing a team is a money-consuming business. If you want your team to perform well, you have to burn money. The majority of football clubs in Italy are still living in dire straits. The stadium is not theirs and they can’t do anything. In addition, every year they still have to pay You have to pay tens of millions in rental fees, and the ticket revenue is basically attached to it. In addition, Italian teams are really not very good at business operations. For example, several wealthy teams subsidize money every year. The boss If you don't take the money, you'll be dead.
