Chapter 644: Restructuring

Henry is not the right choice for the center position. Henry is already 30 years old. He is not the kind of center who can stand in the penalty area. This is too difficult for him. Toni lacks speed, so Bielsa urgently needs such a center. Fontano is a talent, but his characteristics are similar to Toni. The better one is that he is a little faster than Toni.

It is bad to arrange Henry to the center position. The Premier League teams have a fast pace in the offense and defense transition, which also causes them to make many mistakes. Arsenal is particularly good at using such transitions, but in Italy, the teams here will not give you much space for offense and defense transition.

Because of their virtues, Trapani's ideal center should be like this. When the opponent has the ball, the center has a strong ability to move, quickly forms a counter-grab network with several players in the frontcourt, cuts off the opponent's passing space, and can make the ball, dribble the ball and score goals when counterattacking on the spot.

When his side is caught in a positional battle, the center can stand in the penalty area and play his header and grab points.

Therefore, Trapani's current forwards are somewhat different from the ideal state. Bielsa has also suffered this season, so the first idea he proposed is the center forward.

Among the center forwards in world football, the best one is Ibrahimovic, and the other is Adriano, who Trapani let go. Adriano is very powerful in La Liga this season. I don't know if Hugo will regret it. The agent of these two people is Raiola.

When Raiola learned that Seli was looking for a center forward, his mind was active. He wanted Ibrahimovic to change clubs. Inter Milan is very likely to win the championship this season, but Inter Milan led by Mancini has no breakthrough in the Champions League. This season, like Trapani, they were eliminated early in the round of 16.

Raiola heard that Moratti wanted to change the coach. Moratti was very interested in Mourinho. Mourinho was fired after playing a few games with Chelsea this season. He is currently unemployed at home. Of course, he wants to work, but generally speaking, he has to go to a wealthy club. At least in the past few years, the two most popular head coaches are the coaches of Chelsea. Interestingly, these two coaches are both coaches of Chelsea. Ranieri led Trapani to win the treble and completely became a god.

The other one is Mourinho. He led Chelsea to win the league championship, which is an amazing achievement, not to mention the treble honor he won with Porto, which is a miracle that is difficult to replicate. It is much more difficult than Trapani winning the treble.

Inter Milan is a wealthy club that is in decline. It is just said that it is strong. In fact, its strength is still far behind that of Trapani. If you want to invite Mourinho, you really have to see if Mourinho is willing!

However, Mourinho's matter has nothing to do with Raiola. He is more optimistic about Trapani not only because Hugo is rich and can spend a lot of money, but also because Trapani is now playing football in an eye-catching way. Their viewing value has been verified for almost a season and has been widely attractive in the world.

People always talk about everything about Trapani, stars, beaches, beauties, offensive football, Trapani seems to have become a desirable place. Why doesn't Ibrahimovic go there? He can get more support, score more goals, make more money, and get more honors. What's wrong with that?

…

In mid-April, Hugo went to France. This time he went there mainly to solve the problem of Guingamp. Morek and Giorgio accompanied Hugo to France.

The problem of Guingamp is mainly the issue of equity. Pozzo is completely unwilling to withdraw. Therefore, on the issue of Guingamp, Le Graet and Hugo's front completely broke with the Pozzo family. This tearing has affected the relationship between the Pozzo family and Hugo.

Guingamp is currently in a bad trend, ranking last in the league, with a 90% chance of relegation. This situation is entirely Le Graet's intention. The Pozzo family is very dissatisfied, but they can do nothing about it. Little Pozzo doesn't want to make Hugo more hostile, so the stalemate has persisted until now.

Whether it is worth it to take over Guingamp, which is in the French Ligue 2, is a big problem. The Pozzo family considered it again and again, and finally compromised and agreed to the transfer of equity. Hugo's offer satisfied Pozzo, who bought the equity held by the Pozzo family for 12 million euros. Le Graet helped Hugo take over some of the shares that he had bought and then transferred again, and Hugo completed the privatization of Guingamp.

Le Graet resigned from the position of Guingamp chairman. When Hugo bought Guingamp, he asked Le Graet to be the chairman and be responsible for the management of the team. Now Le Graet has been elected vice president of the French Football Association and has more responsibilities at the national level. Now he has taken the initiative to resign.

Although Hugo tried to retain him, Le Graet was still very determined. He wanted to move to a higher level, such as the position of the president of the French Football Association. This was what he longed for. Hugo had no choice but to let him leave. However, Le Graet promised that Guingamp's affairs would still be his affairs in the future, and he was willing to provide Guingamp with all the help he could.

Hugo and Julia agreed to establish Hugo Sports Industry Group, which was independent of Hugo International Investment Company. Hugo would be the president of the group, and would specifically control Trapani Club and Guingamp Football Club. Then, the two clubs would be allowed to conduct independent accounting. The advantage of this was that there was both concentration and dispersion, which facilitated the optimization of resources within the two clubs.

Giorgio was hired by Hugo as the team's group general manager and chairman of Guingamp Club. Giorgio didn't want to take such a position. He wanted to stay in Trapani, but this time he couldn't bear to refuse because Hugo begged him to go to France.

"Brother, there is no one now! You know I have been in this circle all the time, and there are not many people I can trust! You are one of them. Guingamp is thousands of miles away. I need a trustworthy person to manage this team. According to our plan, we want to make Guingamp bigger and better. I want to list it!"

Hugo's idea is basically this. He hopes that Guingamp will not only become a player base after it is done well, but also be listed. If it is done well, it can appreciate. Hugo actually spends very little money on Guingamp. The key is to rely on managers to operate it. Giorgio has experienced Trapani from obscurity to fame. He has enough experience to help Guingamp. Besides, Guingamp has Trapani Club as a backing, and this side will also provide him with help. Hugo firmly believes that Guingamp will grow up soon.

Then there are the changes on Trapani's side. Hugo further divided the organizational structure according to the actual situation and formed a new board of directors. The board members include Hugo, Julia Bonaparte, Alessandro Morec, Leo Celli, and Victor Colleny. Morec continued to be elected as the club's chairman. Whether it was before or now, Morec is a moving stamp. In fact, he didn't do much, and he was really not good at managing the team.

And from the perspective of modern enterprises, Trapani is more like a family-owned enterprise, not a modern enterprise, so Hugo has to change. The new management team is led by the CEO. The establishment of this position also further indicates that Hugo will withdraw from the daily management of the team. In addition, the CEO is nominally in charge of the general management. What he needs to pay attention to is the future development of the team and how to become a big team.

In terms of sports, the CEO is not the main manager, but the football director is. Celli was promoted to football director. His role is mainly responsible for transfers, the selection of head coaches and other sports affairs, which is what Celli is good at.

The team originally had a commercial director, Tommaso Tullio. His position did not change in this internal adjustment and he still serves as the commercial director.
