94 Living in Poverty

Bad, too bad.

When Riester arrived at the place where Materazzi lived, Riester was completely stunned. Is this Materazzi's home? There is not much difference between this place and those slums.

Lister always believed that although Materazzi's career was not going well, he should not be short of money. After going back, Lister carefully checked Giuseppe Materazzi's information.

Materazzi's father, Giuseppe Materazzi, was not only a famous player in Italian football when he was young, but also became a head coach in Italy after retiring.

He has coached many clubs, including teams in Italy's lower leagues and Serie A teams. Even now, he is still doing some coaching work. Even if Materazzi's family is not rich, they should not be short of money.

But when he arrived at Materazzi's residence, all Riester's thoughts changed.

Materazzi lived too poor. The house the two of them lived in was less than 40 square meters, probably only about 30 square meters. There was nothing in their house and it looked empty.

Not to mention appliances such as TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines, there is not even a better wardrobe. Materazzi and Daniela's home only has a very simple bed and a very shabby wardrobe.

Then nothing.

When Riester saw Materazzi and Daniella in the hospital, although he saw that they did not have much money, he never imagined that their lives would be so difficult.

"Liester, come in quickly. There is nothing at home, please bear with me."

Daniella was not angry at all for an uninvited guest like Riester who came to her house without saying hello in advance. On the contrary, she enthusiastically let Riester come into the house to rest.

Riester let out a long sigh.

I really didn't expect that Materazzi would play in such an environment. And I didn't expect that Daniela would suffer so much under such circumstances.

After sitting down, Riester couldn't help but ask: "Marco, how much is your salary at Carpi Club?"

Riester was really surprised. He couldn't be more surprised. Materazzi is already 23 years old. Although he is on loan to the C-League, and the salary in the C-League is definitely not high, it is absolutely impossible to be so poor.

situation.

In Czech football, even though the substitute players earn very little, it is not so difficult. Looking at Materazzi's house, you would have thought you had arrived at a beggar's home.

Didn't their family provide any help to them?

After hearing what Riester said, Materazzi looked ugly and said: "Club Carpi has no money. I haven't received a salary for a month and a half."

Riester smiled bitterly. Serie A is now the first league in Europe, the glory of the Mini World Cup. Unexpectedly, there are clubs in Italy's third division that cannot even pay their wages.

Then he looked at Daniela, a little worried: "Daniela needs to adjust her body now. You guys now..."

Daniela was so kind. That made Liste really worried about Daniela. A woman needs to be very careful after a miscarriage.

What's more, Daniela is still under twenty years old, and she needs to be even more careful about miscarriage at this time. But judging from their situation, Daniela should be unable to maintain her health.

Materazzi lowered his head. He felt that he was very shameless. He felt very sorry for the woman he loved. Daniela ignored the opposition from her family and gave up her basketball career since she was a child. She followed him to the United States just after graduating from high school.

Rome.

But he failed to give Daniela the best life. The more he thought about Materazzi, the sadder he became. Materazzi, a grown man, actually shed tears.

Daniela forced a smile and said: "I'm fine, I'm in good health."

Looking at Materazzi and Daniella Rist, he couldn't help but sigh.

A couple in need. Will they make it to the end? I hope they can support each other throughout their lives.

"Marco, I watched your game at the stadium today. Your performance was very good and you were very capable. I want to ask you, do you have an agent?"

Hearing Riester's words, Materazzi laughed self-deprecatingly: "I can't even support myself. Agent? Should he support me, or should I support him?"

In fact, it's not just that. Materazzi is already 23 years old and is still playing in the third division. At the age of 23, he is still playing in the youth team in Perugia. He is basically a person with no development prospects.

Now that agents are snatching players from the top leagues, players of Materazzi's level have to be pushed back.

"Marco, I am a football agent. I think you have great potential. If you are willing to believe me, I will be your agent."

Riester revealed his purpose, and both Materazzi and Daniel looked at each other.

Materazzi, who was a little unimpressed with Lister, immediately replied: "I can't afford an agent."

Hearing Materazzi's childish words, Riester laughed.

"Marco, you are wrong. You don't know much about our agent. I have a player who is currently the main center forward of Sparta Prague in the Czech Republic. Two years ago, I tried to get him to play in the Czech First Division.

The league became the main force and gave the Czech club Ostrava US$50,000 in training fees.”

Materazzi looked at Riester with a look of disbelief on his face.

Fifty thousand U.S. dollars, Materazzi could not earn fifty thousand U.S. dollars in two years now. And it was two years ago, so it was an even bigger amount.

"Marco, you haven't dealt with an agent, so you don't know. If you have a strong agent now, it is impossible for Perugia to loan you out like this. It is also impossible for Carpi Club to default on you.

Salary. Of course, if you have a good agent, he won’t be able to make your life so difficult.”

Materazzi didn't know what to say, but Daniel listened to Riester's words very carefully.

"Marko, I only pass through Rome occasionally this time. Because my players play here, Lazio's Pavel Nedved is my player. I am a Czech, and currently half of the Czech national team

All the national players are my players, including Karel Boboski, who is currently playing in Deportivo La Coruna."

Riester slowly revealed his identity. Compared with the name Riester Cerny, Nedved and Bobosky are more famous.

After all, Nedved has slowly become Lazio's main player, and Bobosky was the hottest star in last summer's European Cup.

"I watched your game carefully today. What you need now is an opportunity and a chance to play. If you continue to rent like this at your current age, it will be difficult for you to have the opportunity to play in the top league in the future. But I can create these for you.

Opportunity. If you choose me as your agent, then I will arrange for you to join the Czech giant Sparta Prague where Nedved and Boboski played. You will train there for two to three years, three or four.

Years from now, you will be 27 or 28, the prime age of a centre-back. By then you will be no longer a nobody when you enter Italian football again."

Riester is the temptation, tempting Materazzi step by step.

"And in terms of income, I can guarantee that I will never let you live in a place like this. If you come to the Czech Republic with me, I dare not say that I will get you an income of more than ten or two hundred thousand dollars a year, but I will give you two dollars a year."

I can still fight for an income of thirty thousand dollars for you. If you perform well in Sparta Prague, then it is not a problem to fight for a salary of one hundred thousand dollars."

Neither Materazzi nor Daniela said a word because the impact Riester brought to them was too great.

"Marco, Daniela, this is my business card. You can think about it and give me a call."

Riester took out his business card and handed it to the two of them.

Then he took out all the cash from his wallet. One thousand eight hundred dollars, which was all the cash in Riester's pocket.

"Lister, what are you doing?"

Seeing Riester take out the cash, Daniela immediately refused.

"You have to remember. I lent this to you, not gave it to you. Marco must pay me back when he earns money in the future, plus interest."

Riester just sent it to Daniela. The young couple shocked and moved Riester too much.

"And Marco, you have to know that Daniela is very weak now. Don't give up money and let Daniela take good care of her body."

After finishing speaking, Lister stood up.

"Think about it carefully."
