Chapter 14 - "Arguments"

While Kesi calls Paulo back to his home meanwhile Catherine doesn't want him to leave but Paulo obeyed what his mother told him to do.

"Paulo before going promise me one final time that you'll come tomorrow at the college dance with me." Catherine said to Paulo, holding his hand.

"Oh... C'mon how many times I have to say this. Ok I promise that I'll come with you tomorrow at the college dance party." Paulo said to Catherine in a frustrating way.

"You better keep your words Paulo, I'll wait for you, hope you'll come." Catherine said to Paulo.

After their promise things Catherine was looking to kiss Paulo on his cheeks while he was not paying any attention to her but before she could even kiss him Paulo leaves the room while Catherine laughs on herself and was overwhelmed by the fact that Paulo promised her to come to the dance party with her tomorrow.

Next morning president Salvatore came to the complex as his secretary was waiting for him with some official papers in his hands. When Salvatore arrived in his office as soon as he saw his secretary with some papers in his hands he immediately asked him about that.

His secretary told him that this is the official contract of Paulo Romani all the negotiations are done and it is absolutely ready for him. He only needs to sign the dotted lines now. Salvatore was very happy from his secretary as he finally done what Salvatore wanted. Salvatore just hugged him and appreciated him but however his secretary puts his happiness on hold.

He tells Salvatore that contract negotiations and other official things are already done but there is one problem. Salvatore with a moment of concern asked him. He told Salvatore that this contract includes some false papers as well regarding the fact Paulo being the part of their team since he was 9 years old and played football in their acadamy and is now promoted to the senior team.

Salvatore got no problem with it but his secretary showed him some serious concern about it.

"President you might not have any problem but what if the governing body of Italian football get to know about this ?" he questioned Salvatore.

"Nobody will ever get to know about this and if the matter is Paulo then I'll explain it to him, he'll understand." Salvatore said to his secretary.

His secretary mumbled

"Yeah of course you will make him understand but who'll make the governing body understand."

"Did you said something huh ?" Salvatore asked him.

"No... No president umm..... I said nothing umm... nothing." His secretary said to him.

"Why you seem to be so bothered by the fact that I am giving Paulo a contract ?" Salvatore asked him.

"President I am not bothered that you're offering Paulo a contract, In fact Paulo deserves this because he's so talented but I am really bothered by the way we're offering him contract, I mean president let's see if in the future anyone in the governing body get to know about this then of course it will cost us a heavy price but it will also ruin Paulo's career as well." His secretary said to him.

"You know since the I become the president of this club I'd gone through many ups and downs, many humiliations, many failures and many unsuccessful runs but I really understood that if you really want to do something good for the betterment of your team then it is very neccessary to do something illicit. What I am doing is only for this club, for this team I am not harming anyone nor I am stealing something like others do especially that David Valentino do, you tell me if I am doing something that is gonna cause misfortune in someone's life." Salvatore said to his secretary.

"Not now but might be there is going to be some misfortune with Paulo." His secretary said to him.

"I don't wanna know anything, I don't wanna talk anymore about this, I have decided that Paulo is going to play for us next season and in the future as well and I'll make sure that Paulo will never get any sort of problems even if this thing gets exposed." Salvatore said to his secretary.

Salvatore's secretary has gave up on him and simply does what Salvatore instructs him to do.

"Ok president ! as you wish, I'll exactly do what you want me to do, the contract is now almost ready once we get the signature of Paulo on the dotted line then he will be the officially the part of first team." His secretary told him.

"I'll get his signature on the contract but before doing I want him to completely set himself into the system." Salvatore told his secretary.

"What kind of system president ?" His secretary questioned him.

"I want Paulo to fit himself in the team, I know he combines well with the players of the team but I really want him to be a world class player as well and it can only happen if he get to know more about team play, team tactics and most importantly improve his ability to read the game properly. I know it's not a one night process but he's very much intelligent player he'll adapt it perfectly all he needs is a guidance. Go call Piola I'll talk to him about this." Salvatore commands his secretary.

Salvatore's secretary obeyed his command and goes to call Piola.

Salvatore's secretary brings Piola with him to the president office.

"Did you called me President ?, is there's something very important ?." Piola asked Salvatore.

"Yes I did called you, Piola you know there are only three days left to in our relegation play offs match and I want you to instruct players with your new tactics and new style of play. I want you to make them ready for their next match." Salvatore orders Piola.

"I am doing that already president the players are adapting my new style of play. I have full faith in him but if you really think that they need to understand more then today after the training session I'll make them study my tactics which they need to apply on the pitch in their relegation play offs match." Piola said to Salvatore.

"Yes that's what I wanted from you, that's what I am expecting from you to do. You'll be great coach for the team, you have my full trust and support." Salvatore encourages Piola.

After those words Piola ask president that he can leave now as the training session has to start.

"Yes..... Yes of course but Piola I want you have some special attention on Paulo because he's new and he never played any professional match before so you better make him understand your tactics personally as well." Salvatore said to Piola

"Yes president even though Paulo is really smart but I'll make sure that he understands everything perfectly". Piola ensures Salvatore.

After those Piola left the Salvatore's office.
