Soon, the two of them had done this kind of player buying and selling countless times, and everyone had contract templates in their hands. List readily threw out 60,000 US dollars, and Mark Cullu agreed directly without any nonsense. It was ten
In just a few minutes, two people settled the ownership of the two players. Are the players opposed? In a place like Cote d'Ivoire, playing football is the only way for them to change their lives. Without playing football, they will never get out of the slums.
.
Mark Cullu was very satisfied with List's $60,000, so he simply gave up the ownership. This is the purpose of his establishment of this school, which is to train players and then sell them to those clubs. Whether it is sold to the clubs,
He doesn't care whether it's sold to a broker, he only cares about the money. Even if Riester sells Toure and Cone to a certain mining farm, it's none of his business.
List hopes that the water will flow slowly and turns Côte d'Ivoire into a player production base for himself. Similarly, Mark Kulu also wants to do business with List for a long time. He will try his best to sell the Ivory Coast players in his hands to List. Therefore, the two parties have a very tacit understanding.
It was very easy to complete this contract. It can be regarded as the first cooperation between the two people.
Wenger? List sneered, so what if Wenger and Mark Cullu have a good relationship. With Jerome Anderson, it will be very difficult for Mark Cullu to enter Arsenal in the next ten years. Wait until
After David Dunn left Arsenal in 2007, Jerome Anderson's influence in Arsenal will slowly decrease. By then, List and Mark Koulou will be able to cooperate to monopolize Ivorian players.
Maybe Wenger wants Ivory Coast players and demands them from himself.
"Let's go, Riester. I'll take you to see the two players you want."
Kolo Toure and Bakari Cone didn't understand why the others left, but they were left behind. Kolo Toure is older, and he will be seventeen in more than four months.
He is over 10 years old. And he is the eldest son of the family. He has to support their family, so he is relatively stable.
The two of them waited for about twenty minutes before they saw Mark Kulu, the principal of the school, walking out. Mark Kulu has a high reputation in Côte d'Ivoire football, and all young players in Côte d'Ivoire hope to use football to change their lives.
, all hope to enter the Abidjan Football Training Center to play football. All hope to be selected by Mark Kulu.
This is the place that all Ivorian young players yearn for. When they saw Mark Kulu, they immediately greeted him. They also saw the person next to Mark Kulu, but they didn't recognize him.
Mark Kulu came to Kolo Toure and Bakari Cone with a smile. He was in a good mood today. These two players were very exaggerated when he told List, saying how they were
How outstanding. In fact, Kolo Toure in front of me has joined their school for less than a year. He was discovered by scouts while playing football on the street and then entered this school. There is also Bakari Cone.
It has only been two years since I came to the club.
The training costs for the two of them were actually not high at all, but today they sold for $60,000. This was really a hugely profitable deal, and the total expenditure of the school to train them was less than $10,000.
"Kolo, Bakari, let me introduce you. This is Riester Cerny, an agent from Europe. He wants to take you to play in Europe. I have agreed, and you are now his players.
.Pack up and leave the school."
Kolo Toure and Bakari Cone looked at Mark Kulu in surprise. These young African players are the same as the South American players. In order to change their lives, they all want to play in Europe. Because for them
Going to Europe to play football means money. But they are very young, not even seventeen years old. They are a little overwhelmed, because all of a sudden they have changed from people in school to players who are strangers in front of them. Their ownership is
Transform like this.
"Okay, you can follow him."
Mark Cullu didn't care what the two young players in front of him thought. Because in his opinion, they sold 60,000 US dollars, which had already brought him income. As for how they develop in the future, it has nothing to do with him.
Kolo Toure reacted quickly. He began to take off his sneakers.
"What for?"
Lister was a little confused. What Kolo Toure should do now is not to pack his luggage, but how to start taking off his shoes. Kolo Toure looked at Lister and replied seriously: "These sneakers belong to the school, we can't wear them."
Walk."
Lister turned his head and looked at Mark Kulu. Mark Kulu nodded and whispered: "These sneakers are all arranged by the school. After class, they must put their sneakers in their own cabinets and return home.
You can’t even walk through it when you’re home.”
Lister didn't quite understand, but he didn't continue to ask. But Mark Kulu said to Kolo Toure and Bakari Cone: "These training clothes and sneakers are given to you by the school. You can take them with you.
.”
"real?"
Kolo Toure and Bakari Cone both looked happy, but they still took off their sneakers. Then they took them in their hands and ran barefoot to the dormitory. Soon both of them were holding a small
There was nothing in the baggage. It was just some sportswear and sneakers, plus some very shabby clothes. Then there was nothing. Of course, I was still barefoot.
"Kolo, Bakari, you will be my players from now on. I will take you to Europe and let you play there. Your income will be far higher than when you were in Cote d'Ivoire. It may be ten times, or it may be
A hundred times, maybe even a thousand times. This of course depends on your strength and hard work. You are still young, and I want to negotiate a contract with your parents. Let’s start from Keluo’s house.”
…………
Buying their ownership is the first step. Lister also needs to discuss their contract with their parents. In fact, what kind of contract can they get. Now that they have arrived in Europe, Lister still needs to support them. But they still have to let their parents confirm
, there must be no trouble in the future. Lister was driving a car. After Lister arrived in Cote d'Ivoire, the Football Association of Cote d'Ivoire specially found a car for Lister. The Abidjan Football Training Center is in Abijan.
In the center of Jean, Kolo Toure's home is in the suburbs, relatively far away.
The traffic in Abidjan is very good, and Riester did not encounter any congestion when driving. He passed the wealthy area of Abidjan smoothly, and slowly left the center of Abidjan. The changes are very obvious, in Abidjan
There are even several buildings with more than 30 floors in the central area of Bijang. But after leaving the central area, some squares appeared first, which are relatively beautiful squares.
But after passing that point, what came into Riester's eyes were patches of garbage. It really felt like it was all garbage. In fact, this was not a garbage dump, but a slum.
"Mr. Cherny, can you stop for a moment? The one playing football over there is my brother."
When they came to a remote street, Kolo Toure stopped Riester. Hearing Kolo Toure's words, Riester stopped the car, and then looked out the window. He found a group of children playing football there. Riester
Out of curiosity, Kolo Toure's younger brother should be Yaya Toure. But after looking carefully, I couldn't find Yaya Toure, so I asked Kolo Toure: "Who is your brother?"
"That big guy in the midfield is my brother."
Lister followed Kolo Toure's words and took a look, and there was indeed a tall man in the midfield. Lister also paid attention to him at first, but he was too thin. He was too thin to look good, and he was not the same as the future Yaya Toure.
It's totally impossible to compare. But his appearance does look like the future Yaya Toure. And List also saw a very interesting phenomenon. The players on Yaya Toure's side all play with bare feet.
Their opponents were all wearing sneakers.
"Khloe, why don't your brothers wear shoes?"
Kolo Toure watched them play and said angrily: "We grew up playing with bare feet like this. The first time I wore sneakers was after I entered school. On the other side is the one next door. They
My family is rich, but they always come to our place to challenge us."
"kindness--"
Lister stretched slightly. This is the most striking contrast. The children who came to challenge Yaya Toure should be children from middle-class families in Cote d'Ivoire. They can wear jerseys and sneakers, and Yaya Toure
They are all a group of children from the slums. They can't even afford a pair of shoes. They can only play football with others with bare feet.
"We are never afraid of them even if we are barefoot. Are you, Bakari?"
"Of course. I hate those bastards the most. They wear sneakers and think they are so great." Bakari Cone also echoed Kolo Toure.
Lister smiled. Children all have a winning mentality, and the important thing is that children at such a young age have begun to distinguish between classes. If there is nothing special, then the children in the slums will continue to live in the slums when they grow up, and
The middle class has still become the elite of Côte d'Ivoire. Of course, the French and French descendants are still the behind-the-scenes rulers of this society, and they are also the most prosperous group of people.
"Kolo, your brother is good at football. How old is he?"
"I'll be fifteen soon."
"Fifteen years old? You're not young anymore. Come to your house and see if you can take your brother with you."
