Chapter 256: Enlightenment

Mendes is true that Arsenal scouts have come to check on Cristiano Ronaldo three times, the first time in October last year, and the last two times in January, when Arsenal scouts sat in the stands in the second leg of the Coppa Italia against Roma.

Mendes deliberately did not say Manchester United's name because he was a member of the United family. Ferguson knew Hugo was wary of United.

"yes, that's him, he called me!" Mendes said while observing Hugo's face, "He said he was confident that he could make Cristiano the best player he could be, but I could tell he was still hesitant!" ”

"Hmph, Cristiano can grow into the best star here! I don't need his reminder! Hugo sneered.

"Jorge, did you tell Cristiano about these teams?!" Hugo asked nervously.

"Well, such an important matter, of course I have to talk to him!" Mendez deliberately said casually.

"What?! Are you a pig's head?! it! How can such a thing be told to Cristiano?! He's still a child, what kind of discernment can you have, people say it's good?! ......" Hugo was so angry that he scolded Mendes, and he had the heart to kill Mendes.

"Gigi..., deceive... Scamming is never a good idea! Mendes was scolded, and it took a long time for him to come to his senses and say, "You have to think about it from my standpoint!" If I don't tell him, will I be able to stop those scouts from contacting him privately, and then he will still know, what this means to me, you should know very well! ”

Hugo sat back in his office chair and let out a long breath, then said, "Jorge, you can't do this properly, we are friends, but you don't help me?!" Maybe I need to revisit the worth of being your friend! ”

"Gigi, my position is difficult! I need to be responsible for Cristiano! I can guarantee that I didn't promise Arsenal any conditions, and I persuaded Cristiano to stay here, it's better for him here! Mendes immediately patted his chest and assured.

Mendes was followed by thousands of guarantees, and there was absolutely no shady behind it, which made Hugo breathe a sigh of relief.

"All I can say is that you'd better not have it! If there is, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life! Hugo said coldly.

Mendez shuddered, but then returned to his normal words and said, "Gigi, with all due respect, I'm willing to convince Cristiano to stay, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to convince him!" You yourself know how tempting those big teams are! Cristiano is not a kid either, he has his own ideas, what if he proposes a transfer?! Can you force him to keep him?! He's still on a youth contract and can sign with another team at any time! ”

Mendes put his words in plain sight, but Hugo believed that he did have difficulties, and it was not easy for an agent to be friends with his boss.

"He's going to be eighteen soon, and we should sign a new contract!" Hugo said immediately.

"It's definitely okay to sign a contract, I'm going to convince him! But as for whether he will leave in the future, it is really difficult to guarantee! What if he proposes a transfer?! I'm his agent, I'm your best friend, and I want to protect your interests, but the player has his own opinions after all, and I can't influence his opinion! Mendes still wanted to ask.

yes, what to do?! Can't clean up Ronaldo! It's nonsense to shout and kill, it's not an amateur team now, there are a lot of people who want to fix Trapani, they don't want to get into trouble, they can't do it, and Hugo doesn't know what to do.

Mendes didn't find any substantive tone in Hugo's place, but it caused Hugo to think deeply.

How the hell is Ronaldo going to keep it?!

The next day Hugo threw the question to Selly.

"I'm not optimistic that we can keep him, just as I don't think we can keep other young people with potential, people are complex animals! I think Cristiano must be grateful to you, but he has his own career, it should be his choice how he wants to live, we are 108,000 miles away from the championship, we are 108,000 miles away from the European stage, you can talk about the conditions, of course it can't compare to the big clubs! ”

"I have money, I can use it!" Hugo said.

"Gigi, you know that money isn't everything, right?!" Sailly laughed.

"But he's really a super good player in the future, and I'm really reluctant to do it!" Hugo said dejectedly.

"Do you want to ban him?!" Sailly asked.

"I don't want to, I don't want at all!" Recalling the beauty of Ronaldo in later generations, Hugo doesn't want the current Ronaldo to lose his color at all!

He found that the only thing he could do was to move him with sincerity, but just like Sailly said, Ronaldo would not fail to understand Hugo's sincerity, but he has his own career, can it be said that he is willing to spend several years in the relegation team?!

Hugo himself didn't believe it, thinking about his brother, Victor ran away as soon as he heard that he could go to Milan, he patted his ass and ran away, he didn't hesitate at all, did he have no feelings for Hugo, he didn't have feelings for Trapani?!

"Gigi, relax, one step at a time! I'll admit that Cristiano has shown the potential you described, but without him Trapani will still rise, I have this confidence! Sailly said confidently.

"Heh, where does your confidence come from?!" Hugo couldn't help but smile and ask.

"Because of you!" Sailly laughed too.

"Me?!" Hugo pointed to his nose, not knowing where his merits were valued.

"Do you think about Trapani's biggest contributor to today's situation?! Is that you?! Your continuous dedication has created the myth that Trapani has been promoted to three levels in a row, and is even about to be promoted by four levels! As long as you are there and you are willing to put in, this team is missing him and he can't still buy other players! Sailly complimented.

"That's right, I'll have more money to invest in the future! Sooner or later, of course, the team will win all the championships! Hugo said proudly.

"But he's the best player in the future! Why should I let him go now?! Hugo asked rhetorically.

"So can you be a serious contender for the Serie A title next year?!" Sailly asked.

"Can't!"

"That's it, he definitely wants to go to a team that has the ability to compete for the title! According to our five-year plan, we are now trying to build a team in the middle and upper reaches of Serie A, to build our foundations, and now you want to change that plan?! Sailly asked rhetorically.

"I don't want to!" Hugo shook his head, such a plan was a unanimous decision of the management, and everyone was very cautious.

Sailly is a staunch supporter, and he told Hugo at the beginning, "Everything is a gradual process, I admit that you think then you can afford to be promoted to the first division and you can come up with a lot of money to bring in reinforcements, but we really don't need to do that, we can't do it quickly!" The team needs to be stable, gradually supplemented, constantly strengthened, in a few years we will be enough to become a competitive team in Serie A, such a foundation is more solid, on the contrary, as soon as the summer is changed, a waste of money not to mention, the team is not stable, but not good! ”

Sailly is undoubtedly the most visionary manager of the club, it may have something to do with what he has experienced, everyone agrees with his words, Hugo also agrees, he really doesn't have much money to invest now, and even if he has money, he still thinks about that huge project, the sea stadium, which needs hundreds of millions of funds, and it is best to save a little bit here.

"If you don't want to change such a plan, maybe you won't be able to keep him! If you can't keep it, let's make a lot of money, and use it to enhance the strength of the team, so that the team can gain a foothold in Serie A. It's good for him and it's good for the team, why not, everyone can still maintain a good relationship, maybe you can buy it back if you want it in the future! Selly joked.

Buy it back?! That's a big price! Hugo smiled wryly.

If Mendes persuaded Hugo to give up, Hugo would definitely scold him for being a bloody dog, but Cellly is different, he is really his own person, and Hugo is much easier to accept.

"Whose hands are the initiative in this matter?!" Hugo muttered to himself, showing a lack of confidence.

"Gigi, since the Boseman Act came out, it has been difficult for the club to take the initiative! Don't think about it so much, maybe Cristiano doesn't want to leave here! Selli instructed.

Hugo didn't listen to Ronaldo's thoughts after that, and he didn't want to inquire about Ronaldo's thoughts, he hoped that Ronaldo's choice would be to stay at that time.

The transfer window has closed, and Trapani is the biggest team in Serie B, they have bought Lucarelli, Pep Guardiola, and also loaned back Victor to supplement the entire central axis, and want to get stronger, and the ambition to get a promotion place has been highlighted.

The new sports website has commented on Trapani's winter transfers, believing that they can get 80 points from their transfer operations, and the commentary article says that Trapani's ups and downs in the first half of the season and only stabilisation until the end of the season will give Trapani a strong contender for the Serie B title.

The next few rounds confirmed this statement, with Trapani winning all three of their three games in February, taking nine points and bringing the number to 41, with Ancona tied on points with Trapani, but Trapani had a better goal difference and moved to the top of the table.
