"Hello, Mr. Cherny. You are younger than I thought."
List was ready to talk about Ronaldinho, but List did not contact his club at all. Instead, he contacted Ronaldinho's agent.
Ronaldinho's agent is his brother Robert Assis. However, Robert Assis is still a junior. He used to be a player for Gremio, but his achievements were not very high. Give it to yourself
After his younger brother became an agent, because Ronaldinho is not a very famous player now, he is just a small agent in Brazil.
Therefore, when negotiating with Ronaldinho this time, in addition to Robert Assis, there was another person who came to contact List. A famous agent in Brazilian football, European football, and African football.
Wagner Ribeiro.
"Hello, Mr. Ribeiro. I have long admired your name."
Wagner Ribeiro is a Portuguese, born in Lisbon. Because he is Portuguese, he is naturally connected with Brazil. With this natural connection, he created a channel for Brazilian players, that is, Brazilian players transferred to
With this, he quickly became an outstanding agent in Brazilian football. After becoming famous in Portugal through Brazilian players, he extended his tentacles to the African continent, especially Cameroonian football.
Although Ribeiro is an agent, he has made a great contribution to the development of Cameroonian football. It can be said that Ribeiro must be mentioned in the history of Cameroonian football development. In the early 1990s, the England national team and the Cameroonian national team
The friendly match was facilitated by Ribeiro. Also because of Ribeiro's contribution to the development of Cameroonian football, he has a good relationship with many Cameroonian players. For example, Songao, Gremi, and Morocco are currently playing in European football.
The players Naibet are all his players.
If we look at Brazil, Ribeiro will be Kaka's agent when Kaka moves to Milan in the future. Robinho's move to Real Madrid was facilitated by Ribeiro.
There are some differences between Ribeiro's agent and other Brazilian agents. Other Brazilian agents, especially agents like Figel, look for players who have already shown talent at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and then directly buy them out.
Their ownership, including the current Argentinian agent tycoon Mascardi, also has the same routine. Only after taking over the ownership, they will resell the players to Europe.
But Ribeiro is different. He doesn't even let go of talented players who are nine or ten years old. He has already attached himself to such young players and paid for them to buy clothes and delicious food for him to go to school.
He would contact those young players from the slums. Then when they grow up, he would naturally become their agent. He would never use money to buy out the ownership of the young players when they were young. Instead, he would constantly cultivate relationships.
, and eventually became their agent.
He has a very good relationship with Brazilian clubs such as Sao Paulo and Gremio. Even if their players are not his own players, he will maintain a very friendly relationship. When they need anything, he will help if he can. Just like Ronaldo.
Ordinho, he is not his own player. But because Robert Assis lacks the ability in this area, Ribeiro came to help.
Do you think Ribeiro is the best agent? He has a good relationship with many players in Brazilian football and has a good reputation outside. Compared with Firger and Mascardi, their reputation is
I don’t know how much better it is. But it’s definitely not everything about Ribeiro.
Ribeiro, like many Brazilian agents, also has the same characteristics. In the transfer process, he only values his own interests and does not consider much about the players.
Let’s talk about the most typical transfers. The first is Kaka’s transfer. After Kaka moved to Milan, he quickly changed his agent and let his father be his agent. Although it seems that
In order to strive for his own best interests, Ribeiro actually lowered Kaká’s salary during Kaká’s transfer, and then enriched his own pockets. Moreover, after Kaká performed well, Ribeiro did not do it for Kaká.
Kaka strives for benefits, but uses this opportunity to gain benefits for himself.
There is also Robinho's transfer. Robinho's transfer has gone through several twists and turns. He has been in contact with Real Madrid since 2004 but has not been able to transfer for more than a year. The reason why this is so is because
The interests of Ribeiro and others could not be protected, so at first they actively promoted Robinho's transfer to Real Madrid, but when they saw that their own interests could not be protected, they began to interfere. As a result, Robinho's transfer to Real Madrid went back and forth.
Therefore, although Ribeiro has a very good reputation, Lister will not underestimate him at all. They are both foxes for thousands of years, so there is no need for everyone to play nonsense.
"I am here on behalf of PSV. Next to me is Mr. Imos, PSV's negotiator. PSV is very interested in Ronaldinho."
Ribeiro was expressionless, as if he had no interest in PSV. But Riester still saw a hint of excitement in the eyes of Robert Assis next to him.
Riester smiled slightly. The Bosman Act has had a great impact on the Eredivisie, which has been reduced to a second-tier league in European football. But for Brazilian players, the Eredivisie is still the best league. Especially
Eindhoven has had two Brazilian football idols, Romario and Ronaldo.
Therefore, Robert Assis was very excited. That was the club where PSV, Romario and Ronaldo had stayed. His younger brother was about to become a player for PSV, and he couldn't help but go up and play.
He agreed, but seeing Ribeiro sitting there steadily next to him, he could only act honestly.
"Mr. Cerny, I am very happy that PSV has taken a fancy to Ronaldo. But he is still young, only 18 years old now. Leaving Brazil so soon will not be good for his career."
Ribeiro's calmness made Riester laugh. Then he said: "Mr. Ribeiro, Ronaldo has already arrived at PSV Eindhoven when he was younger than Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho
The talent is not inferior to him, and there is no problem landing in Eindhoven at the age of 18. More importantly, the Eredivisie is a paradise for young talents. Unlike other leagues, the Dutch League is the most suitable for young talents. Ronaldini
Olympic Games will follow the footsteps of Romario and Ronaldo and grow into a superstar in world football."
"But he is still too young. It is unknown what kind of attention he will receive when he arrives at Eindhoven and how he will develop."
Ribeiro seemed unhurried and unhurried. In any case, he was not at all anxious or excited about the arrival of PSV.
"Mr. Ribeiro, PSV attaches great importance to him. I can let you in on a little secret. PSV will soon have a new coach. Coach Bobby Robson will become the new coach next season.
He is the head coach of PSV. You should be familiar with him. He is one of Ronaldo's mentors. He is very good at cultivating young players. Ronaldinho will definitely shine in his hands.
.”
This is indeed a very sudden news. Even Ribeiro, who has always been very calm, squinted his eyes because Bobby Robson is so famous. This is a well-known coach in European football, training young people.
Players do have their own uniqueness. Of course, List will not give out false news, because PSV's results this season are really poor. Arnesen is ready to save the situation, especially when a large number of outstanding players will leave in the summer.
The players made him even more anxious...
So he thought of the old coach who was inextricably linked to PSV, the famous England coach Bobby Robson. He hoped that Robson would come over to help PSV stabilize the situation. For the sake of past friendship
Bobby Robson promised Arnesen that Robson will become the head coach of PSV starting next season.
After hearing that Robson was going to become the head coach of Eindhoven, Ribeiro was very satisfied. And Robert Assis next to him was already very excited. If his brother can go to Eindhoven, he can also
What a great thing it is to be taught by Bobby Robson.
"So what kind of salary are PSV willing to offer?"
When Ribeiro said this, List knew that this matter was not a big problem. In South America, as long as a big agent like Ribeiro agrees to the transfer of his players, then the transfer of the players will not happen.
There are too many problems. Because in Brazilian football, agents are more powerful than clubs, and agents are more powerful than clubs.
Although Ronaldinho is currently a talented player in Brazilian football, he is not on the same level as players like Gilberto Silva and Marcos Senna. But for Brazilian clubs, he is still just a talented player.
That's it. There is a lack of everything in Brazilian football, except for football talent. As long as the price is right, they have no concept of not-for-sale.
So Lister smiled and nodded with the PSV negotiator who came next to him. The specific contract that PSV gave Ronaldinho had nothing to do with Lister. Lister came this time
Brazil followed these two players because List recommended them to PSV.
When the representatives of Eindhoven were negotiating salary with them, Riester took a careful look at Ribeiro. Ribeiro was really different. He had almost no benefits from such a transfer. But he still worked for Ronaldo.
Nardinho tried his best. It also made Riester feel something. What does an agent have? In addition to his own players, he also has to maintain good relationships with big-name players, big-name coaches, and big-name agents. This is a sign of influence.
.
Although Ribeiro is not Ronaldinho's agent, Ronaldinho will definitely remember Ribeiro's goodness when he becomes famous in the future. When Ribeiro sells players, Ronaldinho
It can help to say good things. The recommendation of a king player to the club will definitely be taken seriously by the club. Ribeiro is the right way. (To be continued.
