"Barwell, congratulations. You should now be called Chairman Merkley."
At less than 40 years old, Pavel Merkli has already become a very important person in the Czech Football Association. When choosing the vice president of the Football Association this time, Pavel Merkli's approval rate was very high. Almost
Without any suspense or too much competition, I became the vice president of the Czech Football Association.
Based on his current status and contributions in Czech football, many people already regard Pavel Merkley as the future leader of the Czech Football Association.
"Forget it, Lister. Do the two of us still need to be so close?"
After becoming the vice-president of the Czech Football Association, Pavel Merkley became calmer. He is a man with huge ambitions and will not be satisfied with being a vice-president of the Football Association. Riester sometimes even doubted that Pavel Merkley would even be the Czech Football Association vice-president.
Even the chairman of the Football Association is not satisfied with the position and wants to continue to climb up the ranks. However, for List, the ambitious Pavel Merkley is more in line with the characteristics of List's partner.
"Bavel, what do you think of Puma's proposal?"
"very good."
Puma moved very quickly to facilitate this friendly match. Within a few days, they had communicated with the Czech Football Association, and needless to say, the other side, Cote d'Ivoire. Next year is the World Cup year, and they hope to have a meeting before the World Cup.
A friendly match. Of course they hope to play against strong teams such as France, Italy, Spain, and Germany. But Puma has no relationship with these strong teams.
Among the national teams currently sponsored by Puma, the Czech team is the most famous and has the most stars. Puma really has no ability to hire them from other strong teams. Of course, if it spends more money and the appearance fee is higher, it might still be possible.
.But Puma is tightening money now and will not waste money on such a place.
"You also know that our Football Association's current income is not high, and this time it is willing to give us an appearance fee of 200,000 US dollars. There is no reason for the Football Association not to agree. But this does need your help, and you can't let your players be absent."
Pavel Merkley is very strong and has become the vice-president of the Football Association. But Riester is no small figure now and owns half of the Czech national team. What is important is that Nedved and Boboski are currently the most developed among Czech players.
They are List's players. In the agreement with Puma, Merkley promised that there would be no shortage of star players, but this requires the support of List and others.
Of course, the most important thing is Riester. Because Borg and Smicer, who used to be as famous as Nedved and Boboski, are not developing smoothly now. Smicer is in the French League, and Borg
Although he got off to a good start at Liverpool, his subsequent development was not very smooth. The Premier League competition was too fierce. As a result, technical players like Borg did not adapt, and instead suffered frequent injuries. In addition, the relationship with Liverpool's head coach was not good, so gradually
The world has declined. Therefore, List's status in Czech football is getting higher and higher now.
"Don't worry about this. As long as my players are not injured, I guarantee that they will all appear in this friendly match." Riester assured, but then said to Merkley: "Bawell, this friendly match is for Puma."
But since it’s a friendly match, shouldn’t someone from the Czech Football Association go over to have friendly contacts with Cote d’Ivoire?”
Pavel Merkley nodded, looked at List, and said: "I will go to Cote d'Ivoire with the team on behalf of the Czech Football Association. Why are you interested too?"
List nodded. Football in Côte d'Ivoire is divided into the pre-Drogba era and the Drogba era. Because since Drogba was born, a group of Ivorians led by Drogba, the Toure brothers, and Kalu
The emergence of talented players has made Côte d'Ivoire a strong team that the entire world of football should pay attention to.
It is now 1997, which is the stage before Ivorian football takes off. African football will develop rapidly in the next few years, and it can even be said that there are players from Africa among the European giants.
African players have many disadvantages. For example, the annoying biennial African Cup, and African players have some lax attitudes towards the game, etc. But African players have huge advantages. The first is that they are cheap, and the second is their natural physical fitness.
The physical fitness of black people, especially their physical flexibility, is unmatched by many white players and yellow players. As long as many black players receive professional training and increase their abilities in discipline and tactics, their strength will be very outstanding.
of.
South America is chaotic and there are too many agent predators. Although Africa is even more chaotic, especially in politics, there have never been any powerful agent predators in Africa. Lister has never been exposed to African football. This time Puma
To take a detour back to Africa, Lister also wanted to experience it. See how African football is like and see if he can get a piece of the pie.
"Bavel, when the time comes you will meet with the top management of the Côte d'Ivoire Football Association. How about you take me with you?"
"Why do you still want to do business with Ivorian players?"
List's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. This is the only thing Pavel Merkley can imagine. After all, List is a player agent, so being so active in Côte d'Ivoire will definitely not be for charity in Côte d'Ivoire.
"If possible, the development of African football will be faster and faster. In terms of the physical quality of black people, once they start to pay attention to football and regard football as a way to get rid of poverty like Brazil does, they will definitely appear there.
A lot of great players. It's a big cake."
"Okay, that's just a piece of cake."
…………
The results of the negotiations between Puma, the Czech Football Federation and the Cote d'Ivoire Football Federation have come out. They have decided to hold a friendly match in Cote d'Ivoire in early October.
There is still a little time until the beginning of October.
List used this time to travel around to see the development of his players. List's first choice was Spain or Deportivo La Coruna. It was exactly the same as last season.
Because now Boboski is Rist’s first cash cow. Since Boboski left Sparta Prague, Rist has made more than two million US dollars from Boboski. But this
It's not the end, far from it. Because Boboski is only twenty-five years old now, as long as there aren't too many problems, Boboski will definitely be able to move up to the next level.
The new contract Boboski signed with Deportivo is for five years, but such a period is completely useless for a player of Boboski's level. Because Boboski's liquidated damages are only 20 million US dollars.
That's it. Twenty million US dollars seems not low now, but Lister knows that the first wave of money-burning in European football is about to begin.
Not to mention that transfers worth US$20 million, US$30 million, US$40 million, and US$50 million will appear frequently in the next three years. By then, it will not be Leist who is anxious, but Deportivo. Because
Deportivo will then realize how ridiculous the so-called liquidated damages of 20 million US dollars are.
When European football's money-burning wave comes, not to mention giants like Real Madrid and Milan, many mid-level teams can afford the liquidated damages of 20 million US dollars. Deportivo wants to keep Boboski.
It is necessary to continuously increase Boboski's salary and change his liquidated damages. Then the benefits of Lister as an agent will not be discontinued.
Of course, when the time comes, Riester is not willing to let Boboski stay in Deportivo, and if a wealthy club introduces Boboski, he will not forget to give Riester a commission. Anyway, there is no chance that Riester will make money from Boboski in the future.
Mr. List would have to earn at least tens of millions of dollars from Boboski before he could stop. Therefore, List went to Spain again this season to watch Deportivo La Coruña’s game. This season, Deportivo has changed.
Rendoiro hired Irueta to become Deportivo's head coach.
In the first round of La Liga in the 1997-98 season, Deportivo challenged Tenerife away from home. Tenerife is a small team in Spain, and it should be said to be an unknown team. But because of one player
And is known by many fans.
That is Argentina’s elegant prince Redondo. Redondo’s first club from Argentina to Spain was Tenerife. Although Tenerife’s performance has improved a lot, it is not actually a strong team in La Liga. But Redondo continues to
In two seasons, Real Madrid was knocked out of the league championship in the final round, once with a goal and once with an assist.
Redondo was known as the "Real Madrid killer" in La Liga football circles at the time, and the media even joked that as long as Redondo existed, Real Madrid would not be able to win the league championship. Real Madrid was kicked out of the championship twice by Redondo, and then he bought it directly
Redondo was taken off. And Redondo has become the absolute main force in the defensive midfielder position of Real Madrid. Of course, these are history. Tenerife is still a club in the middle and lower reaches of Spain. Deportivo started to dominate at the beginning of the game.
Sexual competition.
Before the first half was over, Tenerife led Tenerife 3-0 with Rivaldo's brace and Boboski's goal. And the high-priced Dejaminha showed his genius.
On the one hand, no one can stop him in the midfield. Breaking away from the spot, making breakthroughs, and passing the ball are completely unimaginable.
"Augusto, Deportivo looks like a champion this season."
Lendoiro was also very happy. The triangle coordination between Rivaldo, Dejaminha and Boboski was excellent. "We still have to see."
Riester pointed to Tenerife's forward and said to Lendoiro: "Augusto, if you believe in my vision, then win that player next season. He will be the best striker in La Liga.
.”
Lendoiro did not ignore Riester's words, but kept them firmly in mind. Then he couldn't help but look at the Tenerife forward, who had an average performance in this game.
