Chapter 384 112. Alliance
Applying to host the European Cup? ! The purpose is certainly not just to enhance the country's image. Carraro said: "Today's football has changed a lot compared to the past. Our stadium can no longer meet the requirements. We need to build a smaller but more comfortable stadium."
Building a stadium is a big deal. Italy is not short of knowledgeable people. Everyone knows that the stadium is too bad. It has become a stumbling block to the development of Italian football economy. Since Hugo announced that he would build a new stadium, other teams all want to follow suit, but it is easier said than done.
No matter how big or small the city is, the resistance is great. The stadium is expensive. The city hall of a small city is not willing to build it because it has no money. It is not easy to pay for the new stadium. They are not willing to let the team owner build it, which means they will lose the stadium income. Big cities are also reluctant to spend money. For big cities, every inch of land is valuable. It is difficult to grant land to clubs to build stadiums.
Carraro also said that although hosting the European Championship is very expensive, the country can make more money through this event. He also cited the example of Portugal. He said: "The example of Portugal can make everyone believe that hosting the European Championship is of great benefit. After Portugal successfully hosted the European Championship last year, their GDP rose by one percentage point."
The essence of what Carraro said is that the so-called bid for the European Cup is actually to take advantage of this opportunity to improve the infrastructure of Italian football.
Those who are interested can see that Hugo is just talking nonsense. In interviews, he always talks about how bad the current football environment is. In fact, he has not made any mistakes. On the contrary, Carraro has few ways and ideas. At least bidding for the European Cup is a feasible idea.
Hugo blatantly competes with Carraro. It seems that he is at a disadvantage for the time being, but it does not mean that there is no benefit. It is not only Hugo and Zamparini who are unhappy with Galliani and Moggi. In fact, many southern teams are like that now. They don't care about the life and death of the people above. But this time someone finally stood up to support Hugo.
This person is De Laurentiis, the owner of Naples and the owner of a film company. Hugo had met with De Laurentiis in Naples and watched Naples' games together.
De Laurentiis is very low-key now. He is from Naples. After Naples went bankrupt, he acquired Naples. Now Naples is still in the Italian League C, so he has to be low-key.
De Laurentiis has never been involved in football before, just like Hugo was in the amateur league. Who cares if you say a word!
De Laurentiis is so embarrassed, his voice is too weak.
In addition, Hugo's die-hard Franza supported Hugo. What surprised Hugo was Lotito, the owner of Lazio. This guy actually called Hugo and hinted to Hugo that he would help Hugo vote for Hugo in the election.
Hugo had no previous experience with Lotito, but he knew this guy. He also started from scratch, even more so than Hugo, and founded a large cleaning company. Lazio owed a large amount of debt, and Lotito bought a lot of Lazio shares from the stock market, about 30%, becoming the largest shareholder of Lazio.
Lazio was the first Serie A team to be listed on the Milan Stock Exchange. New Century Social Networking obviously benefited from it and made a fortune from the stock market. The Cragnotti family invested the money in buying players and brought the Serie A championship. However, with the collapse of the Cragnotti family, Lazio's stocks were no longer valuable and fell all the way. Lotito took control of Lazio without spending much money. He claimed to lead Lazio back to glory, but the huge debt was just empty talk. After Mancini left this season, Lazio's performance declined significantly.
The Rome tax office forced Lotito to pay back the debt, but Lotito cheated. He said he had no money, but he could make Lazio bankrupt. It depends on what you do. As a newcomer in the football world and the political world, what can Lotito do? But Lazio is too famous. It is in the capital area. The Rome City Hall and other authorities do not want Lazio to go bankrupt. So in February, the bankers, the tax office and Lazio reached an agreement and agreed that Lazio would repay the debt within 20 years. Lotito did a great job in this matter. It must be said that this guy is very smart and shameless.
Lotito expressed his goodwill, and Hugo really couldn't understand what Lotito meant. Even Roma is mixed with Galliani and Moggi, what are you doing? !
Time slowly came to April. Trapani's recent state began to go downhill. It has not won four consecutive games. There are more and more rumors about Toni in the media, because Toni's number of starts has begun to decrease. Toni has never publicly said that he needs a starting position, but the media will help him make it up. From the media, it seems that Toni is leaving next season.
Zeman did another stupid thing. When reporters asked him why Toni's position was no longer stable, Zeman bluntly said that Toni was not in good shape this season, injured and stopped, and he must regain the state of last season.
Then the media began to make up stories, and there was a conflict between Trapani's captain and Zeman, but in fact, there was no rift between Zeman and Toni. Now the media distorted Zeman's words, and Toni gradually began to feel dissatisfied. Zeman did not explain and communicate with Toni, and the two of them sighed because of the media.
Tony has no agent or agent company, and he has no problem saying anything he shouldn't say. Maybe in his opinion, this is a conflict between him and Zeman. In an interview with reporters, he said that he had no physical problems, but Zeman just didn't let him play.
Now, it's not a conflict, but it has become a real conflict. Zeman actually had a bit of a broken jar at this time, and didn't communicate with Tony at all. After a while, the two really had a conflict, and Hugo was busy with work and didn't take the problem between the two to heart. When the reporter asked him, he knew to deny it. In fact, he couldn't say it. Zeman used Toni as a rotation main force, and the biggest beneficiary was Messi. Zeman pushed Klose to the front line and let Messi be the right winger. Hugo felt sorry for Toni, but he also felt sorry for Messi. Changing tactics always means someone is hurt.
Because of the lack of treatment and resolution, the Trapani team began to become disharmonious. Mascara and Lucarelli were not satisfied with their status after all. Lucarelli hoped to play in the starting position, and Mascara did not want to be a substitute throughout the season. Whether Zeman changed his tactics or not, he did not get a penny of benefit.
It was unrealistic to find Hugo. They found Giorgio and Morek, who both proposed to leave after the end of the season.
Jankulovsky looked at Milan, who was advancing in the Champions League, and regretted his original choice. However, his situation was slightly better. After all, he turned his face and came to Trapani. Now it is difficult to make a new choice.
"The team must undergo a major change!" This is what Seli said. In fact, this major change does not mean that the team must completely change blood. The main thing is to change the substitutes. On the one hand, it is necessary to introduce strong players, and on the other hand, it is necessary to change the current internal environment of the team. It feels like a dark tide.
Trapani held a meeting very quickly. In fact, the initiator of this meeting was Hugo. Deschamps finally replied to Hugo. He agreed to coach Trapani, but the premise was that Trapani must qualify for the Champions League, otherwise everything would be off the table.
It was because of Deschamps' reply that Hugo convened this meeting. Trapani's senior executives are very busy now. The family's money was given very readily. With hundreds of millions of euros in funds in hand, Trapani immediately began to prepare for the construction of the new stadium, first doing preliminary demonstration research to explore the feasibility of the project, then designing, and finally carrying out construction.
This is a huge project, and the cost will not be small, but it is ultimately a long process. This summer, Hugo can also increase the use of funds for the transfer department.
