The wine table culture is a very unique culture. Lister met the generous boss Wanda at the wine table. After drinking a pound of wine, Boss Wanda almost became brothers with Lister. In the end, he said to Lister very generously.
: "Lister, I don't hide my views. I have other considerations when investing in football. I don't just invest in football. But I am absolutely sincere about football. Our Wanda players, any player
If you have the ability and the opportunity to move to Europe, I will fully support it and there will never be any obstruction. Lister, if you can help them find opportunities to play in Europe, I will let them all go. As for the Football Association, I will
I helped you carry it down."
Regardless of whether it was a drinking conversation or not, taking advantage of Nemechek's transfer to Dalian Wanda Club, the initial contact between List and Dalian Wanda's senior management was very friendly. List also drank a lot, so in front of Wang Jianlin
He patted his chest and promised: "If you like any European star, as long as you can afford the price, I can help introduce him."
Now that I think about it, I was really drunk that day. Lister has never drank so much in the Czech Republic. Unless they are players at the end of their careers, European stars will never transfer to China at this time. I am in
There was too much talk at the wine table.
This is the People's Stadium of Dalian. Lister actually has little interest in the game, and Lister did not come to China to watch the game. Moreover, regarding the development of Chinese football, the player development of the Chinese League in the early stage of Lister is better than that of his own players in Chinese football now.
You know a lot. It doesn’t make any difference whether you watch the game or not.
Lister is more interested in Sun Jihai, not because of how good Sun Jihai is. But Lister knows that Sun Jihai will join the Crystal Palace club in September next year. Lister has always been eyeing the big market of English football. But Lister is
England has never had many connections. In addition, he offended Arsenal last time and offended Arsenal's royal agent Jerome Anderson. Although Lister does not care about Jerome Anderson on the surface, Lister is very concerned about it in his heart.
Pay attention to this person.
Because Lister knows his energy. This person is Arsenal's royal agent, but it does not mean that his strength is limited to Arsenal. On the contrary, Jerome Anderson also has strong strength in English football. So Lister
I have never known how to enter English football. Of course, Lister can wait and wait until Ruud van Nistelrooy grows up and rely on Ferguson's appreciation of him to enter English football.
But that will take about three or four years. It is still too slow. Lister needs other channels to enter English football, so he will pay special attention to Sun Jihai. Although Lister does not know how Sun Jihai entered the Crystal Palace, Lister believes that watching
Sun Jihai, maybe he can find that line.
Therefore, Lister refused the luxury box provided by Shi Xueqing and sat at the front instead. He wanted to see Sun Jihai and think about how to get in touch with Sun Jihai. Would his rash past frighten the young Sun Jihai.
At this time, the atmosphere of Chinese football is still good. It is now 1997, and Dalian People's Stadium is a large stadium. The number of fans who came today is more than 30,000, and the atmosphere of the stadium is very good. Chinese football at this time
There were really a lot of fans at the scene.
However, the level of Class A is not very good. It should be said that the current Class A has already had problems, that is, the rhythm is too slow. The players could not run much distance throughout the game. Lister looked a little drowsy.
Since the game was not interesting, Lister looked at the fans. After looking around, only the person next to him was interesting, because the person sitting next to Lister was watching the game with great interest. He was still reading in his notebook.
What was written on the ground was unexpectedly a foreigner.
Lister stepped forward to see what the foreigner was writing, and found that they were all comments with numbers 17 and 2. Lister was familiar with these two numbers, because the Dalian team's No. 17 was Sun Jihai, and No. 2 was Zhang Enhua.
He is the absolute main force of Dalian Wanda and a very outstanding player. Lister looked at this foreigner. Could he be a scout for a foreign club?
So he asked with a smile in English: "Are you a scout?"
The man who was writing his opinions looked up and looked at Lister. This man was almost fifty years old and his expression was very serious. After looking at Lister, he shook his head and did not answer Lister immediately.
Instead, he looked at the game on the field again, then raised his head and said to Lister: "My name is Michael Williams, and I am an agent."
He said it very plainly, but Lister squinted his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. Because Lister slowly remembered who the person in front of him was. This person in front of him was not an ordinary person. Michael Williams was here.
He is also a well-known figure in European football, and it should be said that he is a well-known figure in English football.
This person was the international market development director of Enbao, a famous British sportswear company, as early as 20 years ago. This person is very capable, and through his own efforts, he has successfully sponsored the world-famous teams England and Scotland, as well as the European
Many famous clubs have become Enbao's cooperative customers. Such as: Liverpool; Celtic; Rangers; Chelsea; Arsenal; Leeds United and other European, American and Australian associations and clubs. Mike Williams has passed nine
Years of work have made Enbao the world's top football apparel and equipment brand.
He himself had a good working relationship with Peter Kenyon, a future big figure in European football and the CEO of Manchester United who later moved to Cherney, having worked together at Enba.
And just two years ago he was responsible for the development of football products under the PENTLAND Group. They sponsor the English Football Association, the Scottish Football Association, the Welsh Football Association, MLS, the Australian Premier League, the English Premier League, the Scottish Premier League, and the Rugby League.
, British Netball Association, Tottenham, West Ham United, Birmingham City; as well as Manchester United's Schmeichel, Arsenal's Seaman, Aston Villa's Bosnizzi, Manchester United
Professional players such as the Neville brothers of Manchester United, Scholes and Butt of Manchester United, as well as the Professional Players Association, etc.
This kind of work experience has given Michael Williams an extremely wide network of contacts in England, including Scottish football and Welsh football. He has just established his own sports agency, and it has only been a year since its establishment. But he was
Although the company has just been established for a year, no one can underestimate his connections and relationships. When European football heard that he had established an agency, everyone sighed. Because a predator came in to steal the meal.
.
List has done a lot of work in order to enter the English football world. The club's top managers have analyzed the top agents in the English football world. The Michael Williams in front of him has just entered the English football world, but
He is also a person that Riester pays close attention to. It’s just that the person and the photo couldn’t match up when he saw him for the first time today, so he didn’t recognize him.
Lister did not expect to see such an agent in faraway China. So he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Williams. My name is Lister Cherney, and I am also an agent."
"Liester Cherney?" Williams was very surprised. He closed the notebook in his hand, then held Lister's hand and said: "Hello, Mr. Cherney. I didn't expect to see you here."
you."
Williams entered the agent industry by relying on his 20 years of work experience. He just became an agent last year and established an agency. This person is very well-informed and knows many people in the current European football world.
We know each other very well. Liszt Czerny is one of the new agents who has emerged in European football in the past two years. Of course he has heard of it. This is the case with agents. Although they have heard of each other's names, it does not mean that everyone knows each other.
We all know each other.
"Mr. Williams, given your ability, you should look down on these Chinese players. How much are they worth?"
After hearing what Lister said, Williams smiled slightly.
Pointing to the fans sitting in the stands, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Cherny, look at these Chinese fans. China has a population of more than one billion. How many fans will there be? China's economy is changing with each passing day. This is a
It’s a huge market. Isn’t that why you came to China?”
"Hahaha. Yes, we are all the most foresighted agents."
