Arnesen has never heard of this name at all. There are currently many outstanding young players in Italy, including Totti and Del Piero, who are among the most talented players in European football. Even those who are currently very unhappy
Pirlo is also a recognized genius in Italian football and is the successor of Baggio. In addition to these top talents, there are many talented talents in Italy. However, Arnesen knows that the name Di Natale is not among these people.
Arnesen has always been in Dutch football, but he still knows a lot about European football. He even knows a lot about young players in Italian football. Therefore, he is even more unfamiliar with Di Natale.
"What kind of player is he worth recommending to me?"
"It's really outstanding. If you see his strength with your own eyes, you will think that he has great future."
Many people know Di Natale because of his later performance in Udinese. Especially when he was 32 and 33 years old, he won the Serie A Golden Boot for two consecutive years. And at the age of 34 and 30, he won the Serie A Golden Boot for two consecutive years.
When he was five years old, he still scored more than 20 goals in Serie A for two consecutive seasons. Therefore, compared to those players who became famous at a young age, Di Natale considered him to be a late bloomer and an old monster.
But this is definitely not because Di Natale was poor in strength when he was young. Many late-blooming players have a characteristic, that is, they had technical flaws when they were young.
For example, Klose's foot skills when he was young were terrible. His dribbling ability was simply unbearable. When he was young, he was really useless except for explosive power, speed, and headers. He later became such a big player.
Achievements are entirely due to developing your skills step by step over time.
In addition to Klose, Drogba also has this reason. When he was young, his basic skills were not up to par, but in the Premier League, the fast pace was very obvious. His stopping skills are the most intuitive manifestation. In the early days of the Premier League, Drogba even stopped the ball from two meters away.
.This kind of stopping technique is completely fatal for forwards. Van Nistelrooy became the king of the small penalty area because of his excellent stopping technique.
But Di Natale is different from them. Di Natale's speed, his basic skills, his skills, and even his shooting and passing are all excellent. It's just that for now, he is still very young and his experience is serious.
Insufficient. There is no problem in terms of technical ability.
The reason why Di Natale has never been able to play, apart from the fact that he is not an absolute genius, is because he has played in small teams for a long time. In fact, Di Natale had already been in Empoli around 2001 because of
He became famous for his performance. He scored 16 goals in one season in the Italian Serie B. Then, as Empoli was promoted to the Serie A, he also scored 13 goals in the first season of the Serie A.
Don't underestimate the fact that there are only a dozen goals. After all, Empoli is a small team in Italy, and it is quite impressive to score more than a dozen goals in a small team. The club was interested in Di Natale at the time.
Not one or two, even many wealthy Italian clubs are interested in him. It can also be seen that although Di Natale is not a super genius, his strength is still considerable. In addition to the lack of strength of the club, Di Natale at this time is
Just lack enough experience.
Such a player can handle Italy's chain defense with ease. He will not have any problems in a sparse defense like the Netherlands. Moreover, Di Natale is a forward who can act as a forward and can also become a nine-pointer.
A versatile player in the frontcourt who can even run to the wing.
If we give another example, it would be Inzaghi, the ghost in the penalty area. Before the age of 23, Inzaghi also wandered around, basically hanging around in low-level leagues. He was even a player who was directly abandoned by Parma. At that time, Inzaghi
Not strong. Absolutely not. It's just a matter of opportunity. Once he gets the chance, he immediately bursts into great strength. Inzaghi was lucky and became famous in Atlanta, and then joined giants such as Juventus and Milan.
But Di Natale never had such luck in his life. He became famous at Empoli. Then he entered Udinese and never left Udinese. Di Natale is a typical player whose strength is higher than his fame.
If it weren't for the relationship between List and PSV, and the close personal friendship between List and Arnesen, List would never have benefited from PSV in vain.
"Frank, I'm not bragging. Although Kežman is a genius from Serbia, his current reputation is far better than that of Di Natale. But I can guarantee that Kežman's future achievements will never be as good as Di Natale's.
"
Arneson was very hesitant. Kežman was handed over to Arneson after a series of screenings by the Eindhoven scouting system, and Arneson also confirmed it. But he also understood what Riester meant.
It is indeed not cost-effective for Eindhoven to introduce Kežman at a price of more than 10,000 euros.
But looking for a nobody? Di Natale?
Although Arneson trusts List very much, Di Natale is too unknown. He is simply a nobody. Although the players List recommended before are not famous, they are not such unknowns.
After all, PSV is an Eredivisie giant, and Arnesen still has a lot to consider. But when he thinks about the cooperation between himself and List these days, Arnesen is ready to consider this issue carefully. Arnesen trusts List very much.
Therefore, the scale slowly moved towards Riester. After thinking for a while, he said: "Riester, I really trust you. In this way, Riester. Anyway, it will be the winter break soon. Can you let him go to Egypt?"
Will it be a little difficult to try out at Innhoven?"
Arnesen spoke with some embarrassment. After all, this player was recommended by List, but Arnesen hoped to have a trial. List smiled. Although PSV was in decline, it was still an Eredivisie giant after all. Di
It is still difficult for Arnesen to sign a nobody like Natale with his eyes closed.
"No problem. Frank, you'll thank me."
Lister knew that it was him, otherwise how could an unknown person let Arnesen open his mouth for a trial training.
Di Natale has his own agent. Although List knew that Di Natale would be successful in the future, List did not take away Ruud van Nistelrooy. In fact, List can find many outstanding players. It is a pity.
Even if he knew it, Riester couldn't do anything.
For example, Italian football, Portuguese football, Romanian football in Eastern Europe, and the former Yugoslavia national football are well-known exclusive football circles in European football. Of course, Czech football is also in the same situation.
Just like Lister does not allow other forces to appear in Czech football, especially foreign forces. Italian football has inherent forces, and they may not like each other. But once external forces, especially like Lister,
If the super agents want to invade Italian football, then they will definitely exclude Riester.
Riester is not willing to join forces with Moggi and the others. When the phone scandal comes out, even Riester may be involved. But he is also unwilling to conflict with them. So the best way is not to get involved in Italian football.
If there is no conflict with local agents in Italy, even if it seems to be a small conflict, Lister is not willing to expose it. If Lister wants to become a real agent powerhouse, he cannot be too strong and destroy the potential of football.
rule.
Because only by being able to thrive everywhere can you become a powerful agent. An agent who makes enemies everywhere is unlikely to succeed. So Lister just kept paying attention.
Now that PSV has Riester, they are ready to leverage Di Natale. Di Natale's agent, Riester, has learned that being able to become Di Natale's agent is only designated by the Empoli club.
And he is not a regular Di Natale agent. He is the agent who helped Di Natale with the loan. He did not seek better conditions for Di Natale because he was not a star of hope at Empoli.
.
Moreover, Di Natale currently does not have the ability to support an agent. His current annual salary in Empoli is only US$70,000. Even among players in the Italian second division, the salary is relatively low.
"Eindhoven?"
Di Natale himself is very unconfident at the moment. After all, he has just slowly started to play the main role in Empoli. Empoli is still a small team in the Italian second division. PSV Eindhoven is among the top teams in Europe and
The wealthy clubs are considered star processing factories, but compared to teams like Empoli, they are still giants.
How could PSV take a fancy to him? Di Natale didn't believe it. What performance did he have at Empoli? He only became the main player at the end of half the season. His current number of goals is only three. Last season, more
He plays in the fourth tier of Italian league and has scored twelve goals. But these performances should not make PSV interested in him. So he is really confused.
"Antonio, do you know who I am?"
"Of course I know you. You are Lazio Nedved's agent."
When Lister introduced himself, Di Natale already knew about it. Although Lister did not enter Serie A football, Lister is now somewhat famous in the agent world. Di Natale through his agent
, he can be regarded as his agent. He mentioned Riester with envy before.
"I am very good friends with PSV general manager Arnesen, and we have worked together many times. I might as well tell you that the recent PSV striker Ruud van Nistelrooy
Yi is about to transfer to Manchester United. He will transfer next summer, and the transfer fee will be more than 30 million euros. He is also my player. I brought him from the Dutch second division to the first division, and then pulled the strings.
He joined Manchester United from PSV. But because he was leaving, PSV were looking for a replacement. I recommended you."
Lister boasted at first, and then did not hide his credit. Doing good deeds without leaving a name is something that can only be left to good people. Lister is an agent, and from another perspective, he is a businessman.
What he had to do was to maximize his profits. He wanted Di Natale to know that it was not PSV scouts who discovered him this time, but that he recommended him.
"Mr. Cherny, why did you recommend me? We don't seem to know each other?"
Seeing Di Natale's timid words, Riester smiled and said: "Actually, I have been following you for a while. But you also know that I have never been involved in Italian football, and I don't want to compete with local Italian agents.
Eat. I know you have your own agent, but to be honest, he is not a competent agent. If you are such an outstanding player, if you are a competent agent, you should not let you waste your talents like this. This time
Arnesen was looking for a striker, so I recommended you. I think you are very good and you can score more than 20 goals a season in the Eredivisie."
"Can I really do that?"
"certainly."
Riester gave Di Natale a very clear answer, and then said: "I have at least fifteen or six forward players on my hands. There are many outstanding players among them, including Ruud van Nistelrooy and Valencia's Jan Koler.
They are all my players. It’s not that I can’t recommend my players. But after thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable, so I recommend you. However, although Arneson and I have a good relationship, he still hopes to see you try
The result of training. He wants to confirm your strength."
Di Natale was completely stunned by the sudden news. In fact, he was not dissatisfied with Arneson's request for a trial. Instead, he thought it was appropriate. If he had been in the situation, he would not have even given him a chance to trial.
Seeing Di Natale's bewildered look, Riester smiled and said: "Antonio, I am a person who values my reputation very much. If you are not strong enough, I will not introduce you to Arneson.
So don’t have any worries, just perform normally. How do you choose?”
"Thank you, thank you."
Di Natale was unwilling to leave Italy, but he also cared about his career. Compared to wasting time in Empoli, Eindhoven was simply paradise. Therefore, he chose to follow Riester to Eindhoven without hesitation.
temperature.
"As long as you behave normally, Arnesen knows the goods. If you believe me, I will definitely get you the best contract."
Di Natale was very excited, but his thinking was not disordered. After listening to Lister's words, he already understood what Lister meant. The meaning of Lister's last sentence was very simple. If Di Natale believed in him, then Lister would be willing to
Act as agent for Di Natale.
Di Natale felt flattered. He didn't know how good List was, but several of his players were famous. The names of Nedvěd, Bobosky, Ruud Ruud, and Jankol were mentioned.
It can all shock people. Unexpectedly, Riester Cherny, the agent of these top players, took the initiative to become his agent.
If you follow the usual script, you shouldn't rush to ask List to be your agent. However, Di Natale is still very smart. Having a strong agent like List will have obvious benefits for his career.

"I am willing to believe Mr. Cherny." (To be continued..)
