Chapter 669: Taking Rome

Although Trapani finally defeated Panathinaikos 3:0 away, Messi was injured. To be honest, the price was not very high. The team doctor judged that it was only a minor injury. This may not only be caused by this fierce game, but also by the national team competitions running back and forth. A week of rest can make up for it.

But Bielsa still fiercely criticized Panathinaikos's actions in the press conference after the game, "They are simply committing a crime, and the referee should increase the rectification efforts! Leo was knocked down many times by them today. Because of their rough fouls, he had to be absent for a while!"

Suarez, who made his debut, actually scored a goal, which was enough to make the coaching staff happy. Bielsa praised him at the press conference.

"Luis is a young striker with great potential. He arrived a little late and didn't get used to the team very well, but he did a great job today. I'm happy for his goal. He chose the right time and the right position. We need his nose in front of the goal!"

When the game just ended, Suarez was also very excited when he was interviewed by UEFA on the sidelines. He claimed that he seemed to have been in the team for a long time and he felt that he had completely adapted to the environment here!

The next day, Hugo told his wife Julia, "This guy doesn't know a word of Italian, but he said he adapted to himself. He thinks too highly of himself!"

Julia is busier than her husband, but she is not blind to football. She also likes to read football news in her spare time. In response to Hugo's statement, Julia said, "Football is a common language. How do you know he is not telling the truth!"

...

In the third round of the league, Trapani challenged Roma away. Roma performed very well last season and kept close to Trapani and Inter Milan, but they encountered some troubles in the first two rounds of the new season. They only got one point with one draw and one loss, which is 5 points behind Trapani, the leader of the list. It is also a home game. They urgently need a victory to get back on track.

Spalletti is an excellent coach, but even a good cook cannot cook without rice. Roma is always selling players, and then has no money to buy players. One is that Rosella has no money, and the other is that there is no salary space. Totti and De Rossi in the Roma team are deeply loved by Roma fans. Roma sometimes wants to sell them, but under pressure from public opinion, they have never put it into practice. Instead, they keep raising their salaries. They are the high-paid group in Serie A.

Of course, Totti's money is much less than that of Trapani's uncles, not to mention De Rossi.

Of course, when Real Madrid and Trapani seduced Totti, Franco Sensi did have the idea of ​​getting rid of Totti, but Totti finally showed his loyalty, and Roma finally did not dare to sell Totti.

Spalletti and Totti now have a somewhat delicate relationship. Totti is now 31 years old, and he also has his own selfish desires, such as wanting a core position and the team to revolve around him. Spalletti has always wanted to reverse this situation. All the credit in Rome belongs to Totti, and Spalletti relies on Totti. Such remarks are a kind of harm to Spalletti.

Totti is in poor form in the new season. This contradiction has been seen by the audience several times in the media, saying that Roma is in internal strife, but Roma's current big trouble is not on the field, but outside the field.

After Hugo announced that Milan's new stadium was approved by the review committee and would become one of the venues for the 2012 European Cup, he has been waiting for Rosella's words. He hopes that Rosella can implement the loan contract with the bankers as soon as possible. It is one thing to have the intention before, but it is another thing whether it can be signed in the end.

Originally, Hugo hoped that Rosella could get the loan contract before the collapse of Lehman Brothers Bank, but it has been delayed until now and there is still no hope. It is said that the bankers are ready to break their promise and not sign a loan agreement with Roma Football Club.

They are very perceptive. The bad economic situation is not a one-day or two-day thing. Italian bankers originally hoped that the bubble would not be punctured, but only when Lehman Brothers collapsed, the bankers knew that this was going to be a real thing. The fire must burn to Europe, so they acted quickly to clean up bad assets and shrink loans. The loan amount of Roma Club is of course a large amount of money. It is normal for bankers to regret.

Even if they sign, they may find various reasons to delay the loan, and even pay the penalty.

Before Rome played against Trapani, Rosella called Hugo and said that the loan was out of the question and wanted to invite Hugo to Rome to meet.

So Hugo went to Rome a day in advance and met Rosella. Hugo thought Rosella would ask him to help find loan resources again, but Rosella said she wanted to sell the team and didn't want to continue running it.

"Our family can no longer afford this team! The family situation is very bad now. Our new stadium plan was shamelessly rejected by the bankers! I... I really can't find a way to make Roma better!" Rosella was still very sad.

Franco Sensi invested a lot of money in this team. Rosella was not the first day to be the chairman of Roma. She knew that playing football now was not possible without money. If Italy did not reform, and the clubs continued to be exploited by the local town government, then the football clubs would have a harder time.

She now had no money to provide Roma Football Club, not to mention that Roma Football Club already owed a lot of money to the bank. Selling the team and recovering some funds would be more beneficial to her family.

"Alas, what a pity, Mr. Rossi has paid a lot for this team!" Hugo shook his head with some pain. Sensi is not a good man, but his contribution to Roma is real money and not fake, and his love for Roma is not fake.

"There is no way now!" Rosella said helplessly.

"So you came to me this time to tell me this?!" Hugo said, "What do you need my help with!"

"I really want to ask you for help! I..." Rosella hesitated.

"It doesn't matter, Rosella, tell me if you need anything!" Hugo encouraged.

"Okay, I want to ask you for help, can you find a suitable buyer for Roma! You know the current situation of football in Italy, I'm afraid it's hard for locals to make a move!" Rosella said the purpose of inviting Hugo.

Roma is not a small club, but a big club. It will cost a lot to buy it. Italians are not fools. Just based on the current situation of Roma, it is not a good idea to buy it. Maybe you can fool foreigners.

Rosella thought very clearly, but this also posed a problem for Hugo. Hugo could help, but he didn't want to help. He wanted to reform for many years, but there was still no big change in Italian football. Wouldn't it be cheating to find a buyer? !

However, Hugo thought about it and agreed. Roma now owes a lot of money to the bank. If Rosella insists on not taking out the money, then Roma may go bankrupt. Losing Roma is actually a loss for Serie A. The capital derby is a major highlight of the league.

If you want to cheat, you can cheat Americans, Russians, and British people!

The British don't like to buy teams abroad. Americans and Russians are different. The United States is a country with a very developed sports industry. They have a lot of experience. Maybe they think they can do it well. As for Russia, they are all suckers. Some financial oligarchs buy teams just to transfer their domestic funds. Buying a club is a good way.

"I promise you, I can help you find it, but I'm not sure I can find it!" Hugo said.

"Thank you so much! Gigi, I'm glad that you don't take the past to heart. You know my father was helpless in the past!" Rosella rarely smiled.
