Chapter 173 The Argentine Gang
The next day was July 7th. Hugo, Sely and Lu Fan went to Palermo to pick up people. This time he picked up Javier Hernandez who came all the way from Argentina and accompanied him to solicit A group of young players, ranging in age from 10 years old, but they all have a special background without exception, they are basically descendants of Italians who can get Italian passports.

Besides Javier Hernandez, there was another adult in the team, and Hugo couldn't figure out what he was doing.

The adult had been helping the kids with their luggage the whole time and hadn't offered to say anything.

Hernandez pulled Hugo aside and explained in a low voice: "This man is Oscar Mascherano, he is a football coach, and his son is named Javier Mascherano. He plays for River Plate, but he is only a kid in the youth team. He has not played in the first team yet. He is a very talented kid and has some reputation in River Plate. We know that he is actually of Italian descent, so we investigated him. , he is really good! I want to bring him to you!"

"Which kid?! Which one is it?!" Hugo asked hastily. South America has the best football talents. Even the so-called parallel importers are actually quite capable. What if Mascherano is really a Bao, he doesn't want to miss it.

"He didn't come, his father came! His father used to be a professional player, but his career was not brilliant, and now he is a coach! His father came here to inquire about the situation here, he wants to see his son Is it suitable to play here!" Hernandez stopped Hugo and continued.

"Oh, this is the meaning of the previous station inspection!" Hugo understood, pity the parents of the world, maybe because his son has indeed shown talent, so he is very cautious, knowing that a transfer can make a genius or destroy it A genius, and understandably so.

"No problem, let him see it! I will go to the training base in the afternoon, and now the first team has assembled, this is not a problem!" Hugo said. "I plan to talk to him personally, I believe in your eyes!"

"You are the manager of these children?! Then what about Javier Mascherano?!" Hugo asked again.

"He's not, he doesn't have an agent, and his father is taking care of everything now!" Hernandez explained.

Hugo nodded, "Let's ask him!"

After a while, the three of them walked up to Mr. Mascherano, and Hernandez introduced Hugo and Sely to him.

"Hello! Mr. Mascherano, you are very welcome to Trapani as a guest!" Hugo stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically.

"You look very young!" Mr. Mascherano muttered, showing a slight distrust of Hugo.

"Actually, I'm really young, I'm only 21!" Hugo laughed, "But everyone says I'm very reliable!"

"Well, I didn't mean that, Mr. Colani! I was just sighing! I thought you'd be a..."

"An old man, or a middle-aged man?!" Hugo laughed.

The laugh eased the atmosphere.

"I know why you came here! We will go to the training base in the afternoon, and I can guarantee that Trapani is not a country team!" Hugo laughed again.

The group packed up, boarded the bus rented by Hugo and the others, and headed for Trapani. Mr. Mascherano can speak Italian, communication is not a problem, but Hernandez doesn't understand Italian. On the way, Hugo himself acted as a tour guide and told Mr. Mascherano about Trapani. He told Mr. Mascherano that Trapani is under construction and aims to become Italy’s Silicon Valley. and a world-renowned tourist city.

He also told the history of Trapani very honestly, and described the future of Trapani to Mr. Mascherano.

The bus came directly to the training base in Trapani. The training base has been continuously upgraded since Hugo came back from Argentina. It was originally a new building, but now it looks beautiful and functional.

The young players are restless, they are watching the outside through the car window, as Hernandez described to them, you will go to a big club instead of a grassroots team, and Hernandez is also very satisfied Hugo didn't magnify his words. At least in terms of hardware facilities, Trapani is completely better than River Plate and Boca, these big Argentine clubs.

The green training ground exudes an attractive luster. When the young players enter their youth training dormitory, they are even more happy. What they have experienced since childhood is either to go to training by themselves or the accommodation conditions are poor, but here Very good, every room is equipped with air-conditioning, only two people can live in one room, it is completely hotel-style management, but the Internet Hugo is really strictly controlled, there is only one computer room and game room in the whole dormitory building, which is open regularly , of course, is also free, but if they want to play comfortably, I am afraid it is impossible.

Hugo is very serious about putting an end to internet addicted teenagers.

I have to say that just looking at these hardware, Mr. Mascherano has to admit that there is nothing wrong with his son coming here.

The children were naturally arranged by the staff, and Hugo took Hernandez and the others to the school that had been built, next to the training base.

"Starting this year, we will use this school. We will hire special teachers to take cultural lessons for the children in the youth training camp. There are strict regulations. If you fail the cultural class, you cannot participate in training. I just hope that these young players can learn more things. Even if they can't become professional players in the future, they can continue to go to college, go to college, and be able to have a skill. Get a foothold in this society!" Hugo introduced.

Mr. Mascherano is deeply touched. Not every professional player can find a coaching job after the end of his career like him. Many professional players are poor at the end of their careers. Special skills, can only sit and eat, and some even have bad habits in the player era, and the bad habits will not change after the end of the career, and the money will be used up soon. Besides, if you are a professional player in Argentina, even if you save money, with the wave of economic crisis, Almost all the money you earn has depreciated, so it’s no wonder you’re not poor.

"Mr. Colani, your idea is correct!" Mr. Mascherano sighed.

"If they go to Trapani's youth academy, then they will be my employees and I want to be responsible for them! There are so many kids, Mr. Mascherano, you also know that they cannot all become professional players. It is not easy for Javier to find them, but it is even more difficult for these children. They all have a football dream in their hearts, which is why they came here from across the ocean. I hope they can live well here and feel the warmth of home, not only You can improve your football skills here, and you can also learn culture here, in short, you can’t delay both playing football and studying, there will always be a way out, and you won’t destroy them!" Yuguo said sincerely To put it bluntly, he spent so much money. It can be said that his own money and Morek's 200 million were invested in it at the previous stage, because these people are not adults, they are children, and children should have a future.

Hugo personally arranged a room for Mascherano, and then took Hernandez to the office of the training base, and asked in detail about the situation of Hernandez's young players. Hernandez There are 9 children brought by Si, basically ranging from 14 to 18 years old, and only one child, Angel Fabian Di Maria Hernandez, is only 12 years old. This child comes from Rosario, his father is of Italian descent and his mother is Hispanic. The family is very poor and has no money. This kid is very fast and has excellent dribbling. When Hernandez’s father was inspecting him, he was originally not optimistic about him. , I want to wait two years, but Di Maria’s family can’t wait. For many poor people in South America, playing football is also a way out. If their children can play professional football, then the whole family will undergo earth-shaking changes. Little Di Maria was brought to Italy, so this little kid came like this.

Hugo smiled wryly at Hernandez and said, aren't they afraid of really encountering a liar? !

"Gigi, if you were poor, you wouldn't think so! They would just think this is an opportunity! An opportunity to maybe lift the whole family out of poverty!" Hernandez shook his head and said, which is also true.

"Hey, that's it! The youth training camp is about to send out an Argentine gang! From now on, these children have to be controlled carefully. Don't form gangs in the youth training camp, it's very bad!" Hugo laughed. .

"It must be that even children in a foreign land are used to cuddling together, but management is your business, I can only advise them!" Hernandez shrugged and said.

"They will not be alone here. If they are promoted to Serie B next year, I plan to let Leo Messi join the team, and now they have a fellow!" Hugo said with a smile, "By the way, Javier, I didn't introduce you in detail just now, but Lu Fan is actually Argentine, and his Argentine name is Angel Domingos Lu!"

On an occasion like today, Lu Fan is naturally performing his duties as a bodyguard. Hugo and Mascherano had a good chat. When they met, they only gave a rough introduction. Hernandez definitely did not expect Huang Lu Fan with skin is actually Argentinian.
