174 The Cultivation of Messi

When Mechelen Club purchased from Riester, it was for one purpose: to introduce a large number of South American players and African players. It has not started yet, but the club already has such characteristics.

The first person List put in was Drogba. Drogba was twenty years old and was already old enough to play games. Although the French second division league like Le Mans is low-level, its technical content is not small. Drogba

The most outstanding thing now is his physical fitness. For example, strong explosive power, fast speed, strong confrontation ability, etc.

But there is one thing missing, and that is rough skills at the feet. He has been receiving football training since he was a child, but it is not very formal. He plays here today and plays there tomorrow. He does not accept formal training step by step like some other young players.

Training, so the basic skills are somewhat poor. Therefore, he was not taken seriously in Le Mans. Drogba's disadvantage when walking on the ground is too obvious. But it is different in the Belgian league. Drogba's rampant style of play is definitely a problem for Belgian defenders.

Huge torture. Therefore, after winning the Mechelen Club, the first thing List dealt with was Drogba. List put Drogba to the Mechelen Club, and then sold the original main forward.

.

Riester was not prepared to interfere with Troussier's work. If Troussier became the club's head coach, selling players might conflict with him. Therefore, he sold Mechelen Club well before Troussier.

The main forward. Just to correct Drogba, you Troussier has to use it or not. It happened to be sold for more than 300,000 US dollars, which is not a small amount for someone like List who is currently short of money.

number.

Lister not only stuffed Drogba into the club, but also stuffed two young players. They were both brought by Lister from Cote d'Ivoire. Kolo Toure and Dacone, both of them

He was already seventeen years old. Therefore, he was thrown to the Mechelen club by List. Troussier was quite good at cultivating young people.

In this way, List has just joined Mechelen Club, and the club already has three players from Ivory Coast. And List’s idea is very simple. In the future, there will be more and more players from Ivory Coast in this club, plus some South American players.

Players. This is how List runs this club.

Drogba is 20 years old, Kolo Toure is 17 years old, and Koné is 17 years old, standing side by side. The ownership of these three people is in the hands of List, and List has placed his trust in them.

High hopes. After selling the three of them from Mechelen Club, they should earn tens of millions of dollars. Riester looked at them and said: "You will play in the Belgian League next season. This is just the beginning. Can you

No matter where you are, it all depends on your hard work. If you perform well, you can go to a higher-level league. If you don't perform well, you will perish in Belgium. I will not sympathize with players who have no future."

All three people nodded. In fact, the salaries of the three of them are not high. Drogba's salary is relatively high. But it is only a monthly salary of one thousand US dollars. The monthly salary of Kolo Toure and Dacone is only one hundred US dollars.

Fifty US dollars. This salary is better than that of local Belgian players, and the substitutes are better than them. After all, Belgium is very wealthy, so although the player's salary is not high, it is not low at all. But they are different.

This is not because List is cruel. It’s because the players in Côte d’Ivoire are so cheap. List will introduce players from South America and Africa in the future. They are all so cheap, and the salary is so low. The salary List gives them is neither high nor low.

.It is in line with the current player salaries. Only if they perform well can they get higher salaries.

"David, you may need to sit in Belgium for a while during this period."

The club was bought, but there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with in the follow-up. When a new coach comes to the club, the club's senior management should contact him anyway. The major shareholder's shares have also been taken, and some small shares have also been taken. But there are still

Some scattered shares were not recovered by Lister.

But in addition to these problems, there are also problems with the club's original senior management. Some of these people can stay, and some cannot. This requires familiar people to sit in for a period of time, otherwise the club may experience some turmoil.

"Don't worry, Riester. The club will be fine."

…………

After leaving Belgium, Lister needs to deal with the most important thing. This is related to Lister's future ace player. Lister cannot be careless. Even if he controls hundreds of players in the future, Lister still needs a facade.

Players. Each of those big agents has his or her own facade players, and the quality of the facade players also determines the power of the agent.

Look at Jerome Anderson with Adams and Henry and later Cesc Fabregas, Raiola with Ibrahimovic and Balotelli, Spanish Real agent Carvajal with Raul and Carlo

Silas and Mendes have Cristiano Ronaldo. With this top player, they can attract a large number of young players. And with this top player, they can generate a business chain, from sponsors to media, the club is one-stop.

Business chain. Therefore, it is very important for a big agent to have a top player.

Even for many agents, the status of their top players determines the status of the agent. Therefore, if you want to become a top agent in the world, it is very important to have top players.

At present, there are many stars in List's hands who can become superstars, but List has already thought of it. Apart from Rosicky, the one with truly outstanding talent is Messi, who is now staying in the Netherlands. Messi can definitely become the biggest player in List's hands.

A trump card.

Therefore, Lister must focus on resolving the Messi matter. Although Lister has not yet negotiated with Eindhoven, based on Lister's current cooperation with Eindhoven, letting a young player go to Eindhoven's youth club

It is very simple to receive training in the training camp. Therefore, Messi has not yet become a player in the Eindhoven youth training camp, but he can already practice with players of the same age.

"Frank, how are my players?"

“Excellent.”

If it weren't for Riester, Arnesen, as the general manager of Eindhoven, would not have had the time to come and watch the performance of an eleven-year-old young player. After all, Eindhoven is such a big club. Even if Arnesen pays attention

The youth training camp will also pay attention to players over the age of fifteen or sixteen. No matter how talented Messi is, he is too young now. Being young means that the future will be very variable. When he was eleven or twelve years old, he was known as the successor to the world championship.

Not just one or two. But there are only a few who can become superstars in the end, and it is rare to see a superstar in ten years. Therefore, he generally does not pay attention to players of this age group. However, with the factor of List, Anaey

Of course, Sen sat on it and watched Messi's game in person.

Needless to say, Messi is outstanding. Although he is only eleven years old, Messi is definitely the kind of player who can make people shine after just ten minutes. His playing style is not as showy as Ronaldinho.

, but the way he plays is still very deadly. Among the current players in PSV under the age of 12, he stands out. He is truly a genius among geniuses.

"Frank, I want to put him in your Eindhoven for training. But I am not willing to hand over the ownership to your Eindhoven."

After Arnesen saw Messi's performance, he kept sighing that Lister has such a good vision. He also heard about Messi from Lister, and he despised several clubs in Argentina. Speaking of which, Messi

The cost of treatment is a drop in the bucket for those South American clubs. Such an investment risk is worth doing. Even if it doesn't succeed in the end, you won't lose much money. Of course, if it is a South American club, no one will have this idea. Because

South America lacks everything but talent. The treatment fees paid to Messi can be used to train other talented players.

Messi is lucky. After a situation like Messi's, there are not one or two South American geniuses who were abandoned. If it weren't for Messi's success later, otherwise who would laugh at the Argentine club. If it weren't for Messi's great success,

How could Riester know about Messi and go to find him specifically? Countless talents are wasted in South America every year.

Arnesen, who has always lamented Messi's talent, immediately turned his head and looked at Lister after hearing what Riester said. After the Bosman bill, youth training players are the most important for Dutch clubs. Because after the club trains young players

, wait until they become famous and then sell them. This is the survival condition for many clubs in the Netherlands.

For example, if PSV cultivates Messi, if there is no ownership of Messi, then why cultivate him? PSV is not a processing factory of Liszt. Could it be that after cultivating Liszt, it will benefit Liszt in vain. So he replied angrily.

: "Liester, our Eindhoven is also a giant in the Eredivisie. Don't you want us to train you a player for nothing?"

Riester shook his head and said with a smile: "Frank, I also invested a lot of money for Messi. He is currently in the Netherlands for medical treatment, meals, and even the house for their family was arranged by me. Tell me about mine.

Is the investment low?”

List is the player who has invested the most in Messi. List always thinks of the worst in things. List can still control Messi before he is 22 or 3 years old. But once he is as successful as in history, List will

What qualifications does he have to control him? When Messi asks his father to be his agent for the huge commission, Riester will be beaten.

Therefore, Riester needs to put some shackles on him. Now Riester has to do his best until Messi and his family cannot escape from the problem. If Messi values ​​​​the relationship and continues to trust Riester, then everything is fine and everyone can continue

Cooperation. But once he abandons List, then this experience will become a stain on Messi. Because List can completely express Messi's ungratefulness, which will be a huge reputation blow to the superstar. Messi will then

Also think about the consequences.

Of course, List very much hopes that everyone can cooperate well until the end of Messi's career. These are just some precautions that List has taken in advance. List will take all the precautions that should be taken.

"Liester, that's not how the account is calculated. If there is no ownership, what will we do in Eindhoven?"

Lister raised two fingers and said to Arnesen: "Frank, I propose two cooperation plans. One is that I give Eindhoven a sum of money and a training fee every year, and I give Eindhoven

Messi has priority to sign contracts with PSV after he reaches adulthood. That is, under the same conditions, when Messi signs a professional contract, he must sign a contract with PSV."

Arnesen shook his head. How much is the training fee? Arnesen believed that Riester didn't care about this training fee. Similarly, for PSV, cultivating a player like Messi is not a burden.

The training fee doesn't matter at all. As for the right to sign first, it's all fucking empty. Because the ownership is in Lister's hands, Lister can say whatever he wants.

"The second option is that I will not pay the training fee. He will continue to receive training at the youth academy in Eindhoven. I will exchange this fee for 20% of his ownership. Of course, when he can sign a professional contract

, Eindhoven can use the signing bonus to take away 30% of the ownership from me. At that time, I and the Eindhoven family will own half of the ownership. However, I have the right to take over his 17th

Before the age of 20, buy back 20% of Messi's rights for two million US dollars."

Arnesen looked at Lister and smiled. Lister was really weird. But Arnesen nodded and did not bargain with Lister. Messi is only eleven years old now. No one knows how far he can develop.

You can't say for sure. As long as it has 20% ownership by then, even if PSV is passive, it will not be eaten up by Riester. Because 20% ownership can't do anything.

But if you want bad things, it's more than enough.

Of course, List knows that after 20% of the ownership is handed over to Eindhoven, there will be some constraints. But List is not afraid, because in List's plan, Messi should start to rise from the Eredivisie.

The best place to rise in the Eredivisie is PSV. Because when Messi grows up, it should be around 2004, which is also when PSV rises strongly under the hands of Hiddink. It should be able to

Catch the good times.

As for Riester's right to repurchase 20% of Messi's shares for US$2 million before Messi turns seventeen, Arneson did not object. The 20% share for US$2 million when Messi turns seventeen.

This means that Messi was worth tens of millions of dollars at that time. This is impossible. Arnesen has never seen a 17-year-old player worth tens of millions of dollars. And even if it is reached, it means that Messi is the world

He is a genius with a net worth of over 10 million US dollars at the age of seventeen.

At that time, based on his friendship with Lister, although he would suffer some blackmail, he was still confident that he could retain such a genius. So he agreed to Lister's suggestion.

"I choose the second option. Since you have such confidence in this little guy, then I believe in your vision."

"Frank, did you know? The two of us are witnessing the birth of a future superstar." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
