Chapter 653

The news that Italy won the right to host the country spread to the country. Although the Italian national team is currently in a bad position in the European Cup, the victory of the right to host the Italian goal has made the Italian goal happy, so that the Italian national team won the first round of the subsequent knockout round. The turmoil caused by being swept out by Spain has been diluted a lot.

In the early hours of the 22nd, the coaches of the quarterfinals between Italy and Spain at the Ernst-Happel Stadium in Vienna, Austria, this game Donadoni finally returned to the Italian tradition and focused on defense, starting from the third group stage He had to start to be pragmatic, and the results looked good, as did this game. Italy played the iron barrel formation they are good at, and Spain had a comprehensive advantage in all offensive statistics, but in 120 minutes There is no way to just take Italy.

However, in the penalty shootout, Italy lost 2:4 to the Matador Legion, and Italy went home. Donadoni said in the post-match press conference, "Some players hinted to me before the game that he didn't want to be the first to kick the point. In fact, we also practiced penalty kicks before the game, but it is a pity that there are still some players who did not score."

He actually wanted to express his unwillingness to lose, and a bit of shirking responsibility. , the person Donadoni said was Piero.

We all know that Hugo has expressed his appreciation for Piero more than once. He likes Piero very much. In addition, Donadoni is suspected of shirking responsibility. Hugo took the lead in bombarding Donadoni in the media.

"Donadoni is suspected of shirking responsibility. The responsibility for the loss does not lie with these players. The main players from two years ago are still there, but the gap in the championship is too great. It is undeniable that the strength of the team has declined, but many Nadoni is the culprit and he should be 70.00% responsible!"

"If there is a player who refuses to take a penalty kick, I think all of us should respect the meaning of the player, because each of us has our own weaknesses. Not everyone can withstand huge psychological pressure. The problem is not the players, but the players. It belongs to the coach, Mr. Donadoni complained that some players didn’t want to take penalty kicks, what do you mean?! It’s nothing more than shirking responsibility!”

Hugo published a column on the "New Sports" website, which simply attacked Donadoni and did not say anything about it. However, other media criticized Donadoni in all aspects, from the selection of personnel to the deployment of troops. From formation to team management, Donadoni seems to be worthless in everyone's eyes.

Rossi is a shrewd guy. The national team has just returned to China. After Rossi and Donadoni had an interview, the Italian Football Association stated that it would not renew the contract with Donadoni. Donadoni automatically resigned when the contract expired.

After Lippi left, the Italian Football Association invited Donadoni. The contract period is two years, which means that this year is the last year of Donadoni's contract. Before the Italian national team went to the European Cup this year, in early June, The Italian Football Association negotiated a two-year preliminary contract with Donadoni. The two-year preliminary contract was actually forced by Donadoni. He had always hoped to renew his contract with the Italian Football Association, but Rossi did not agree.

The condition for the triggering of the preliminary contract is that Donadoni leads the team to at least enter the semi-finals. As a result, Donadoni has not realized it, and the preliminary contract is naturally not established. Therefore, his departure can also be regarded as an automatic departure when the contract expires. .

There are also voices to criticize Rossi, but under his auspices, the Italian fans are not happy to see him step down. Hugo also said that we still have to have the beginning and the end. Mr. Rossi has been making preparations, and he should be able to do well now .

But Hugo didn't expect that the preparations would be found on him. Just two days after the end of the national team's journey, Hugo was summoned by Berlusconi to go to Rome. Berlusconi said to Hugo: "Gigi! , your organizational skills are very good, you may as well be the chairman of the European Cup Organizing Committee! Uh, this is everyone's request!"

The successful bidding of the European Cup is not a matter of the Football Association, but a major political event in Italy. The Football Association can only be a small player in it, and the government and the Olympic Committee will intervene in this matter

After hearing Berlusconi's request, Hugo was stunned. Will Italian politicians let go of such an opportunity? !But after thinking about it, he thought it was a good thing, and he just lived a life of power. He never thought that Berlusconi had ulterior motives. He didn’t say that poor Italy had no money, so he just let Hugo pay for it. Well, it's hard to say, but Berlusconi knows that Hugo has always been enthusiastic and has aspirations to strengthen Italian football.

This time, Hugo was really calculated. When Hugo understood, the heavy responsibility of the chairman of the organizing committee had already been placed on his shoulders, so he could only bite the bullet.

A few days later, Hugo was appointed. In a sudden change, he got his first public office in Italian football. He was the chairman of the 2012 Italian European Cup Organizing Committee, the chairman of the Football Association Rossi and the vice-chairman of the Olympic Committee Pescante. , IOC President Pescante is an old man who looks very kind, but it is said that he is not so kind and difficult to get along with.

But who is Hugo? Since Lao Tzu is the chairman of the organizing committee, he must listen to me. Hugo regards the organizing committee as the Trapani football club, and he has to listen to everything. A contradiction arises.

The cause of this matter has to start with the venue. When UEFA determines the host country, it does not need the host country to report the host city in time, but there is a time limit, and the host country must be within the time limit Submit the host city and stadium.

There are only a few cities in Italy that are willing to host such events, which cannot meet the requirements, because the local governments are unwilling to bear the cost, which is very expensive, and the central government’s allocation is a drop in the bucket for them. , everyone does not sign up.

However, under the mediation of Hugo and others, the pressure of stadium construction was cleverly transferred to the club, which started the revolution of Italian football. The local governments completely changed their attitudes. Everyone wanted to fight for this place. There were only eight places. Trapani has already occupied one because of its inherent advantages. Their stadium is ready-made, known as the seven-star stadium in European football, and Hugo has contributed money and efforts to bid for the European Cup. Everyone can understand this advantage.

There are only seven left, and the competition is fierce, so the question arises, who will get it? According to Rossi and Pescante, there should be several big cities in Italy, such as Milan in the north, Rome, the capital, and an important city in the south. Naples should be included in the host city.

But Hugo didn't do much, he overturned their idea, Hugo's idea is another matter, whoever raises the funds first can declare, whoever has no financial backing, just has passed the local city council The plan is not acceptable.

Hugo did this for two reasons. The first aspect is that he foresaw that in September, there will be major events in the world. The subprime mortgage crisis will break out in the United States, triggering a global economic crisis, and Italy will inevitably be affected. Why, if there is an economic crisis, it will be difficult for the team to obtain a loan. Only the team that has secured the funds and signed the loan agreement can get the loan. First of all, it must ensure that the bank that made the loan will not collapse in the economic crisis .Another aspect is the construction period. These teams that can get funds early must be activists, and the construction period can be guaranteed. If you choose other teams, if the construction period delays the European Cup, it will be a big deal. His group The chairman of the committee is clearly incompetent.

"Why should the venue be determined according to the status of the city? It doesn't make sense. We want to be fair! We must treat all cities equally, whether it is the north or the south, whether it is the capital or the locality, we are talking about fairness!" Hugo said plausibly.
