Sao Paulo is a giant Brazilian club. It should be said that Sao Paulo is not considered a traditional giant in Brazil. Historically, Sao Paulo has not had many achievements. However, after entering the 1990s, Sao Paulo's performance suddenly improved a lot. Even in this decade
In the middle of the year, it won the Copa Libertadores twice and became a strong team in Brazilian football. Therefore, Sao Paulo Club slowly squeezed into the ranks of Brazil's giant clubs.
It is also because of this that he did not become a member of Figel's sphere of influence. If it were a traditional giant, Figel would have won it long ago. Sao Paulo was not a strong team ten years ago, so it was not Figel.
It is precisely because it has just emerged that there are many power entanglements. In addition to some of the original agents, there are also predator-level agents like Figel who have also begun to invade the Sao Paulo club.
Ricardo is a small agent, and List was really discovered in Sao Paulo. Although Ricardo seems to have a small network in Sao Paulo, he doesn't have much respect. When he entered the Sao Paulo club, he made smiles everywhere, and entered training
During the game, I kept laughing with the gatekeepers, youth team coaches, etc. Entering Sao Paulo is not easy anyway.
This is because Ricardo played football in Sao Paulo back then. So he was familiar with some people and was able to have such an opportunity. I don’t know how many agents with Ricardo’s strength in Brazilian football, and none of them
It's possible to get into the São Paulo club this way.
Lister shook his head. Now that Lister is in Europe, even if he cannot enter and leave the training bases of those clubs at will, as long as Lister goes there, there will definitely be club executives accompanying Lister. Among these clubs, whether they are clubs that have a good relationship with Lister
, or clubs that don’t have much contact with List. This is all because of List’s strength.
"Sorry, Lister."
Even Ricardo himself kept apologizing to Lister because he felt very shameless and had to go through all kinds of difficulties to ask his grandfather to sue his grandmother before he could get in. It was really embarrassing. He was still so embarrassed in front of Lister, a distinguished guest.
But in order to facilitate this business, he could only do this.
"It's nothing, Ricardo. In a few years, Sao Paulo might treat you as a distinguished guest."
List can understand Ricardo's position. When List was an agent in China, he was exactly the same as him. He was ignored by the club. Even if List wanted to contact the players he liked, he would be rejected by the club.
A direct warning. Therefore, Riester did not mean to laugh at Ricardo at all, but nodded with understanding, and then comforted him with a smile.
"kindness."
Ricardo nodded vigorously. While sitting in the stands, Riester asked Ricardo: "Ricardo, I know that Sao Paulo Club has a good relationship with Ribeiro. Is it true?"
In the Brazilian football world that List knows, Sao Paulo has a good relationship with Ribeiro even if it is not within Ribeiro's sphere of influence. Many players from Sao Paulo are inextricably linked to Ribeiro.
The two clubs Ribeiro has the best relationship with in Brazilian football are Gremio and Sao Paulo. It is these two clubs that will enable him to grow into a powerful Brazilian agent in the future.
"yes."
Ricardo nodded. Then he said with some envy: "Ribeiro is one of the few Brazilian agents who can directly enter the office of the president of Sao Paulo. Half of the talented players from Sao Paulo have been acquired by Ribeiro. Even in Sao Paulo.
Even Figel can't compare to Ribeiro."
The players that agents like Ricardo can acquire are young players, and they are not very talented players. Of course, all the players that can emerge from the Sao Paulo youth team are talented players, but among them
The best talents have been divided among others. Ricardo can only find a player whose talent is not as good as theirs. As for the players of Sao Paulo's first team, Ricardo does not even dare to dream.
"Rister, that's the player I introduced to you. What do you think?"
Lister looked at Ricardo and didn't know how to describe him. Ricardo was quite capable. With a little help from Lister, he started his own business, but he didn't expect it to develop well. Especially considering how young he was.
The players' abilities are still outstanding.
Although many of the players he recommended to List were rejected by List, there are still many outstanding players among his players. For example, the player's skills in front of him look rough, but in fact his skills are not rough at all. It's just that his skills are not rough at all.
The skills of the players next to him are so outstanding, and the Brazilian players' small skills are dazzling. In contrast, their skills look a bit rough.
The moment he saw him, Lister was far more surprised than when he saw Cicinho. Because Cicinho, apart from having the title of a Cafu** man, didn't have much praise in his career. But the man in front of him
It's different. During his career, he once became a player sought after by everyone in the European football giants. At his peak, he was known as the Real Madrid killer. As a midfielder, he scored more than 20 goals in a season.
A powerful midfielder. When he was playing in Sevilla, he could beat Real Madrid to shame every time he met him. In the end, Real Madrid bought him out of anger just like they bought Redondo.
. He is the midfielder Baptista who swept La Liga football in Sevilla.
The person Ricardo introduced to Riester was Baptista. Riester was really surprised. He didn't expect to introduce this strong player. This beast turned out to be a player from Sao Paulo.
"How did you fall in love with him? No, how did you deceive him?"
Seeing that the Sao Paulo Club didn't care about Ricardo at all, Lister was very curious about how Lister deceived Baptista's trust. Baptista is indeed not a genius player in Sao Paulo where there are many talents, but he is
The strength is not too bad. For the Brazilian agent giants, a player of Baptista's level is enough for them to win. Because even if the strength is not good, there is still some profit in reselling it.
"Hehe. When I was playing football in Sao Paulo, I was still a child. Julio's father was several years older than me and also played football in Sao Paulo. But neither of us succeeded."
Fools are lucky, and Ricardo also has good luck. However, Lister believes that if Ricardo had not made some progress now, otherwise even if he had some relationship with Baptista's father, he would not have chosen Ricardo as the candidate.
broker.
"What do you think?"
Riester looked at Troussier next to him and asked. Riester asked Troussier first.
"The basic skills are good, and the physical fitness is also good. The passing and shooting are good. It is very suitable for me to have such a player in my tactics, which will bring the club's midfield strength to a higher level."
"That's no problem."
Although Sao Paulo is a rising star, their top management is very tough. They absolutely do not allow agents with complete ownership of players in the club, even big agents like Figel. Therefore, most of the players in the Sao Paulo club currently have
The ownership lies with the club. Agents and players' families can only own a part of it, and it is a small part. Therefore, the issue of Baptista still needs to be discussed with the club.
However, Ricardo is willing to praise Ricardo and let him raise his status in Sao Paulo. In the future, he will have more opportunities to get more good players in Sao Paulo. So this matter is entirely left to Ricardo and let him
Ricardo helped Riester negotiate.
Since selling Jan Kohler, List still has a lot of money in his pocket. After all, he earned 8 million euros at a time, which is not a small amount of money. This season, List is already preparing to invest in Mechelen Club
Three million US dollars is not only to solve the remaining debt problem, but also to continue to increase the strength of Mechelen Club.
Cicinho is only US$250,000, and Baptista is not very expensive either. This is because he is not an absolute genius. He is almost 20 years old and has not played any games in the Brazilian Serie A.
Therefore, the value is not high.
However, some senior officials in Sao Paulo were indeed surprised, not because anyone wanted to buy Baptista. Anyway, for these Brazilian clubs, there was nothing not for sale. The reason they were surprised was because agents like Ricardo Ricardo were there.
Brazilian football is bullshit. There are only eight hundred or so agents like this in Brazilian football. But I didn’t expect that he could actually negotiate with Sao Paulo on behalf of European clubs.
In Brazil or South America, the strength of a football agent does not depend on how many players he has, but on whether he has connections in European football. This is mainly because European football has become
It has become the center of world football. Only playing in Europe can represent success. Under the commercialization of football, whoever has money is the boss.
Therefore, whoever has a relationship with European football can be sought after. Look at Figel and Ribeiro. The reason why they can dominate Brazilian football is because they all have their own sales channels in Europe. You can put Brazil
Selling players is the biggest skill.
It doesn't matter if you don't have players now. As long as you have connections in European football, countless players will flock to the player and be willing to become that agent. Therefore, seeing Ricardo being able to negotiate directly on behalf of European clubs is already a status.
It symbolizes that even the top management of the Sao Paulo Club will pay attention to Ricardo again.
Baptista's price was not that expensive. Sao Paulo did not offer a sky-high price, and finally everyone ended the negotiation at a price of US$1.7 million.
"Ricardo, it's a pleasure to work with you this time."
"Thank you, Lister."
This is the first time that Ricardo has made such a big-money transfer in so many years as an agent. Although the total transfer only cost List two million US dollars, it is not a big deal for List. But it was different for Ricardo. Ricardo received US$110,000 in commission from this transfer, which was the most money he had ever made in his life.
"Ricardo, this is just the beginning. By the way, let's leave the two players you introduced before. I'll ask the Slovak League to see if any club is willing to accept them."
Although Czechoslovakia has been disintegrated, the relationship between the two sides is still very close due to historical reasons. Especially in football, the two sides are still connected. Czech players play in Slovakia, and Slovak players play in the Czech Republic. Football is very common. There are no obvious boundaries between us. As the first agent in the Czech Republic, List has also put his hands into Slovak football. He has good relations with several clubs in Slovakia. .There is no problem in giving them one or two players.
"good."
Ricardo nodded excitedly.
"By the way, Ricardo. If there is a talented player in the future, you must say hello to me first."
"certainly."
Riester was in a good mood, because this time he went to Brazil and won two powerful players. Cicinho was 19 years old and Baptista was 18 years old. After training in the Belgian league for a period of time, they became You can definitely get a lot of money if you change hands. Although the player is not his own, if he transfers to Mechelen Club, the ownership belongs to Mechelen. Being a second-rate dealer and selling players, Mechelen Club makes money, is equivalent to I made money by myself. (To be continued.)
