My name is Colani

Miccoli is the biggest signing for Trapani so far, costing Hugo 450,000 euros. Miccoli could certainly get better training if he stayed in Serie B, but for the money, he finally chose Trapani, and he also believed in the future that Selli described for him.

Terna spent 160,000 to introduce Miccoli, and now Trapani gives them 450,000. Although they think it is too little, it is almost enough. Facing the stingy Trapani, they really can't refuse due to their financial shortage.

But there is another important reason for this signing. Selli believes that Miccoli has the potential to become a star. Are there many strikers with good skills in Italian football these days? ! Not many, especially at Miccoli's age, only 22 years old, there is still room for growth.

In the process of recruiting players, Hugo and Seli agreed on the principle that young players should have certain strength. Of course, the supporting role must be indispensable. Seli said that he hoped to hear Mazzarri's opinions on recruiting players, but Mazzarri did not give any opinions. Mazzarri, who was young and inexperienced, suddenly realized that everything he wanted was in the team. He just didn't expect that Hugo and Seli would sell Victor and Pepe.

So in recruiting players, Seli and Hugo didn't ask Mazzarri's opinion later. He couldn't provide candidates. Seli and Hugo could only follow their own ideas and strengthen each position.

The fifth recruit was Federico Balzaretti, the left back who was loaned to Torino. He is 20 years old this year. He has been loaned to Torino in the third division before. He has been in Varese for two seasons. He gradually played as a main player and has good strength. Trapani regards him as a supplement to the full-back.

The sixth signing is Christian Maggio, a full-back from Vicenza. He can play as a full-back or a winger. He is a versatile player. He could not play in Vicenza, but the offer from Trapani also attracted him. He was only 19 years old, and it was very beneficial for him to train in Trapani for two years. This deal was also the biggest part of the summer transfer, costing Trapani 400,000 euros.

He is also the only player Trapani has introduced from Serie A this season.

The seventh signing is French player Patrice Evra. This player is also 20 years old now. He once stayed in the Paris Saint-Germain youth training camp and later played for Marsala in Sicily. He is very familiar with Trapani and knows a lot about Trapani. He also played against Trapani. Later, he went to play in Monza in Serie B, but he failed to make a name for himself. Seli thought of him. He can play in the midfield or on the wing, so Seli spent 30,000 euros to bring him here from Monza.

Within a few days, these players were in place one after another. The midfield, defenders, and forwards were strengthened, at least reaching the standards set by Hugo and Seli. People were rotated in various positions. The only position that was not filled was the goalkeeper position. This position did not need to recruit players. Azo Blasic and Gilini could continue to serve as substitutes. If another goalkeeper was found, it would be an unstable factor. The goalkeeper position was different from other positions. Hugo and Seli would consider injuries, while the goalkeeper would not be absent easily. It was basically difficult for the substitute goalkeeper to get a chance to play.

Seeing the new players entering the team one after another, Mazzarri's face looked much better. No matter how different these players were, they could still give him more choices. He also had a lot more smiles on the training ground.

"Enough! There are so many good players. If you don't play well in the new season, you will be in trouble!" Hugo cursed in his heart. In his eyes, these players were of course good, all young talents. If Trapani didn't perform well, it could only be said that Mazzarri was not good enough.

Most of the new players are Italian. Although Evra is French, he has been in Italy for two or three years and can speak Italian, which is good for his integration. Brazil's tall defender Pepe has Meireles and Bosingwa who speak the same language, which is not a problem.

Hugo hired translators for the team's foreign players, who are also their language teachers. Meireles and Bosingwa have been here for a year, and they have also learned some daily expressions, so there are no major problems in life.

In the new season, Mazzarri has relaxed his control over the team. He does not require players to stay in Trapani, but they must live in Trapani. There are many eyes and ears in the training base, and many players have chosen to live in the urban area of ​​Trapani. Since Hugo pays less attention to transfer fees and more attention to salaries, the income of these players is still quite high in Trapani. Some local people in Trapani also took the opportunity to earn house rental fees.

Hugo doesn't want the team to be as strict as last year. These players are already adults, and it is not a solution to always restrict them. They are not children from the youth training camp.

The children in the youth training camp are strictly disciplined. They are not allowed to go out without permission and can only move around in the training base. Hugo also built the training base into a small community, so they do not need to buy daily necessities from outside.

Around July 20, Selly returned from Argentina with Oscar Mascherano and his son. The transfer of Javier Mascherano had been completed. This was a difficult negotiation. According to Selly Description: River Plate is unwilling to sell Mascherano. The reason for not selling is that the price paid by Trapani is not enough, but Selly said that if you don’t agree to the price, then we have to let Javier leave for free, because He didn't sign a professional contract with you. I came to negotiate with you because I don't want to destroy the friendship between our two clubs, and you tried so hard to stop me, so I had no choice but to do something dirty.

Of course, River Plate doesn't want to lose both the money and the money. There are many things that lure young players, and FIFA may not be able to handle it. Litigation is a long process, unless the club is pressed and is not willing to argue. .

In the end, the two parties reached a deal, and Trapani took away Javier Mascherano with a training fee of 2 million euros.

"I'm afraid they have a bad impression of us this time!" Selly sighed.

"Humph, I'm still not satisfied. How much more do they want to sell a seventeen-year-old child?! Two million is enough. Buying this child this summer is the most expensive. It's really terrible. It actually costs two million! I see. He doesn’t look like he’s good at it!” Hugo said as he looked at Javier Mascherano in the distance.

He had a feeling that he had been fooled. This kid was small, weak, and not strong enough. Such a player might be very good on the South American football field. They don't pay much attention to tactics and physical fitness, and they advocate offense. He is a little kid. Douya's defensive skills are naturally noticeable, but this is Europe, this is Italy, especially in low-level leagues, not having a good body is not enough.

Trapani also introduced Miccoli, a short-footed tiger, but he has good physical fitness. He is short and dumpy, but he is full of flesh. Miccoli's confrontation on the training ground is not weak, and defenders cannot easily knock him down. turn.

Looking at Mascherano and Di Maria, Hugo felt that their future here was not good, and he felt that the 2 million euros was not worth it.

"The body is a bit weak, but I have watched his games. His mind is very clear and mature, and he is fast and accurate in tackling. His body can be strengthened. I think his future is still very bright. It's just this height..." Selly was a little speechless.

Javier Mascherano is a little over 1.7 meters tall, which is a big disadvantage when competing for the top spot. Hugo glanced at Oscar Mascherano, who was just over 1.8 meters tall, and thought to himself, your dad is that tall. , I hope you can also grow taller.

After chatting with Selly, Hugo said hello to Javier Mascherano. Javier Mascherano seemed very calm and he greeted Hugo politely.

"I won't say any more polite words! I told your father before that when you come here we will not let you join the youth training camp, but directly promote you to the first team. But you still have many shortcomings! You can't He will become the main force in a short time!" Hugo said straightforwardly.

The faces of Mascherano and his son changed. This boss didn't mean what he said!

Oscar Mascherano wanted to say something, but Hugo stretched out his hand to stop him, "Listen to me first, Mr. Mascherano! With Javier, European football is different from South American football. You don't There is too much emphasis on physical strength training, but a strong body is needed here! Javier is too thin and has little experience! What he needs to do now is to improve his physical fitness, gain weight, and strengthen strength training! He will be in the first team, and our coaching staff will develop a training program specifically for him. He will be in the same training ground with the first team, but it is best not to participate in first team training until he meets the requirements! "

"My son can do it! Mr. Colaini!" Oscar Mascherano is obviously full of confidence in his son. It is true that my son has not played in the first team, but he is enough to cope with the first team.

Mascherano was not convinced either. He had said well at the beginning that he came to League C to play games, not to sit on the bench. This was a betrayal!

"Of course it's good for you to have confidence, but you also have to be objectively aware of your shortcomings! Mr. Mascherano, I told you that I am also a coach. I know the football here and the European football very well. What I said It’s also for Javier’s sake! Don’t tell me that, any coach on the team will say this! Let’s try it at the training ground tomorrow and you will know if what I said is true!” Hugo said with a wry smile.
