Lister quickly came to Madrid from Valencia after receiving the call. Lister was very confused now, because the person who called Lister was Mark Roger. Mark Roger is not well-known among the fans.
Even many people outside the circle have never heard of this name. But he will be as notorious an agent in the future European football circles as Mino Raiola and Jonathan Barnett.
Raiola serves as the agent for players such as Ibrahimovic, Balotelli, and Pogba. His greed is well-known in European football. But that is all in the future. And Jonathan Barnett is because of two transfers.
It will shock the entire European football world and even the world football world.
One was the private meeting with Kenyon, Mourinho and others at Cherney, which was called "Colmen" in English football. As Ashley Cole's agent at the time, Barnett and Chelsea
Zahavi, the royal agent at the time, single-handedly planned Ashley Cole's transfer to Chelsea. At that time, Zahavi was the intermediary in the "Colmen" matter, and he encouraged Ashley Cole for money.
It was Barnett. This incident made Barnett infamous and became an agent reviled by everyone in the British football world. Because many people thought Barnett had gone too far.
Of course, many agents laugh at Barnett in private, and you don't know how to cover up this kind of thing. All agents do this kind of thing in private, but you shouldn't be so blatant and ask others to directly seize the evidence.
What a fool, he lost his face. But in the eyes of outsiders, especially the fans, Barnett is that kind of vampire agent.
In addition to this transfer, the other one was the transfer of Bell that shocked the world of football. Bell moved to Real Madrid with the world's most valuable price. Bell's agent is Barnett.
When talking about Raiola in the industry, they all say that his money-making methods are too good. What this person is best at is inciting his players to rebel. In the end, when his players leave, they basically fall out with the original club every time. He uses this
This method keeps asking the club to raise salaries for its players. Therefore, Raiola is one of the most hated agents by European giants. Anyone who owns his players will be really tired. Because after a while, his players
There will be trouble.
When talking about Jonathan Barnett, many people only have one word, greed. Even if Barnett has already decided on a transfer, he still has to make this or that request. As long as the clubs he has worked with are very angry, because he is
When the transfer was finalized, Barnett was able to mess with the transfer just for money.
However, they do not have such a high reputation in the industry now. Raiola is still working alone, and his business is concentrated in Italian football. Barnett is only rampant in England and has an average reputation outside. But in front of us
Marc Roger is different. He is now a notorious agent in European football.
This person is a well-known agent in Europe and has done many transfers before. In particular, he has a wide network of contacts in French football. He has a deep relationship with French coaches and players. Many French players are under his management.
The most sensational transfer in the past two years is Anelka's move from Arsenal to Real Madrid. Many people talk about Anelka's transfer and know that Anelka's brother was behind the move.
Card.
But everyone in the industry knows that it was not Anelka's brother who made the most money from this transfer, but Mark Roger. Although Anelka was the best rookie player in British football at the time, he had just just
It's been a year and a half since his death. His two brothers are just living off Anelka. They are rookie agents in European football and have no connections at all. Where do they have connections with Real Madrid?
Because of Wenger and because of the many French players in Arsenal, Mark Roger has a deep relationship with Arsenal. This guy was the one who helped Anelka's brother behind the scenes, and then encouraged the two of them to convince Anelka to leave Arsenal.
Na's agent. In this transfer, Anelka's brother and Anelka plus the signing fee were only about two million U.S. dollars. However, Mark Roger received three million U.S. dollars from Real Madrid.
commission.
This is a master. And Mark Roger is still Vieira's agent. Why Mark Roger is notorious is not because he lets players transfer. It's because his methods of letting players transfer are too excessive. He simply doesn't
He will not discuss with the club or players. He first pretends that he is the player's agent and has negotiated terms with the buyer's club, and then goes to the player with the contract he initialed and tells him that the club has negotiated with the buyer's club. After deceiving the players,
With the players' instructions, he went to the club again to put pressure on the club.
Some people think that as long as the club contacts the players, they can know that Mark Roger is cheating. But in fact, the relationship between the club and the players is not that close. Under normal circumstances, the contact between the club's senior management and the players is through agents.
Human. And every time it is time to transfer, players rarely appear in front of everyone. Therefore, there are agents like Mark Roger who take advantage of the opportunity. Many clubs and players only find out after the transfer.
That's what Mark Roger did.
Riester didn't know Mark Roger before. He only knew Mark Roger for more than half a year. When Makelele moved to Valencia last summer, his agent's performance disappointed him too much. Mark
Lailai's agent could not handle the transfer on his own, so he had to ask Riester. In the end, it was Riester's mediation that made the transfer successful. Therefore, after the transfer was successful, Makelele fired his original agent.
Then he defected to Mark Roger's banner.
Players have different ideas from fans. Those rogue agents may not be liked by clubs or colleagues, but fans reviled them. But why do those rogue agents still live a comfortable life? Because for players, they are good people but incompetent.
Agents are not what they need. They would rather have rogue agents who have poor character but can bring them benefits. Therefore, despite Mark Roger's poor reputation, there is still an endless stream of players who defect to him.
.
It was precisely because Marc Roger became Makelele's agent that Riester also met Marc Roger. However, the two people only exchanged phone numbers. There was no personal relationship. Riester himself rarely participated.
I don't have much contact with other agents at brokers' receptions. Today's phone call is the first time since the two exchanged phone numbers.
"He wants to work with you."
While following Mark Roger, Lister was thinking about it. Mark Roger, a notorious agent in European football, is hated by many people in the industry. However, although this person is not as flamboyant as those later agent predators,
But making money is still at the top of the list among agents. Today, Lister is slowly getting a taste of it.
Many of his methods are annoying, but this person has a very accurate vision. Not only in looking at the players, but also in judging the situation. He actually hooked up with that guy so quickly. As long as you hook up with him, the future will be bright.
There is no need to worry about income in more than ten years. When Lister followed Mark Roger into a relatively quiet bar, he saw several people. Some people Lister knew, some people Lister didn't know. But regardless of whether they knew each other,
I still don’t know them. This is the first time Lister has met these people.
In the center, chatting and laughing with everyone is Florentino Perez. Currently preparing to participate in the Real Madrid election, he is the only candidate in the media who can put some pressure on Sanz. This man is famous, even if there is no memory of later generations, Reese
I also know him because Florentino was the dark horse during the Real Madrid election in 1995. It was a pity that he lost the election.
And to his right is Fernando Martin. He is also a Spanish rich man and a relatively famous real estate businessman. His fortune is closely related to Florentino. The two people have deep ties in business and personal relationships, and even more so.
Currently Florentino's right-hand man, who is standing next to Fernando Martin, is Romain Calderon. Riester knows that both Fernando Martin and Romain Calderon are members of Florentino's campaign team.
As for the man to the left of Florentino, he looks very arrogant. Lister can only describe it this way. Although Florentino has not yet become the chairman of Real Madrid, he still has influence in Real Madrid in terms of economic strength and influence in Madrid.
In terms of influence, they are not ordinary people. Fernando Martin on his right is also a Spanish rich man, and Roman Calderon is a famous lawyer. But that man doesn't seem to care at all, laughing and talking wantonly while holding a wine glass.
Besides them, there were some other people, but Lister didn’t know any of them. They should be some members of Florentino’s staff. They were all on the side and didn’t know what to say, and they didn’t get involved with Florentino.
At the table, the person that Marc Roger wanted to introduce to List was Florentino, the candidate for the chairmanship of Real Madrid.
If it were anyone else, Riester really wouldn't be interested in getting to know him. Especially in an election year, making the wrong move would have a huge impact on the agent. But Florentino is a giant in European football and can really change Europe.
A predator in the football world. The future Florentino is a predator that even the presidents of World Football Federation and UEFA cannot ignore and need to give face to. Riester also wants to get to know him in advance.
"Mr. Cerny, you have tricked our Real Madrid several times."
Seeing Riester come in, although there was no introduction to each other, both parties knew each other. Florentino was about to be fifty-three years old and spoke very slowly. It seemed that he was blaming Riester, but his tone was very calm, okay
Several emotions can be added to the feeling.
A smile appeared on the corner of Riester's mouth. Sanz's defeat to Florentino was definitely not due to luck. Compared with Sanz's hooligan appearance, Florentino did have an attractive temperament. Although Riester is a fan of Real Madrid fans every day
It is scornful to call anyone who calls you aristocratic temperament, because only champions can cultivate the so-called temperament. Without a champion, the so-called aristocratic temperament is worse than shit, or even complete shit. Noble temperament without achievements is something that everyone laughs at.
But Florentino's appearance is indeed very suitable for Real Madrid. This is the demeanor of the chairman of Real Madrid and the temperament of the chairman of the world's most powerful club.
"No. I don't dare to be disrespectful to Real Madrid. I just couldn't reach an agreement with Jose Sanchez."
"hehe."
Florentino simply smiled. A very formulaic smile, because everyone knew very well what happened to this matter. In fact, Florentino was also quite angry about Riester's matter, because after all, he
He is also from Real Madrid. But Florentino is a politician, and the candidates for Real Madrid chairman are all politicians. As long as it helps his election, he doesn't mind those things. And what Riester is playing is Jose Sanchez, and
Jose Sanchez is Sanz's absolute confidant. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
"Mr. Cherny, let me introduce you."
Florentino did not let Mark Roger introduce him, but introduced several people next to him himself. Until the person who Rist thought was arrogant just now, Florentino did not pause: "He is Santos
.Marcos, I am traveling with you. Both Mark and I are members of my agent team.”
"Hello, Mr. Marcos."
"Hello, Mr. Cherny."
Lister was not very enthusiastic, but he was not rude, but Santos Marcos greeted Lister carelessly. Lister had no time to get angry, but he quickly thought about this person's information.
Santos Marcos is also a well-known figure in the agent circle. Because he owns a world-class superstar, Ronaldo, who is known as the alien. Players like Ronaldo have many agents.
People. They have personal agents, agents who manage their image rights, agents who manage their competitive aspects, agents who manage player assets, etc. And Santos Marcos is a very important person in the future.
Ronaldo's contribution to Real Madrid's transfer from Inter Milan is very great.
The money of Brazilian agents like them is not clean. Several of Ronaldo's agents later went to jail, were restricted from leaving the country by the Brazilian government, etc. Because their assets are not clean, and there are various black gold scandals behind them. In front of Santos.
Marcos also had such an experience later, which eventually led to a complete falling out with Ronaldo.
Lister knows this just by looking at the rankings of the people in front of him. Fernando Martin is Florentino's number one confidant, Roman Calderon, as a lawyer, should be Florentino's think tank. And Santos Marcos and Marco.
Roger is Florentino's agent and provides him with player information. He just doesn't know what Florentino is looking for.
"Mr. Cerny, you should know that I will soon participate in the Real Madrid presidential election. To participate in the Real Madrid presidential election, in addition to some programs on club reform, I also need some other things. For example, I promise to introduce players to please the fans.
President Sanz has decided to introduce Tristan, and we must also prepare. This is the current list of the top five players that Real Madrid fans hope to introduce."
Sanz chose Tristan because Riester tricked him about Ruud van Nistelrooy. Therefore, he could only choose Tristan, the second overall pick. Although Tristan is good, he is just a rising star. Riester knew that Florent
The player Tino is targeting must be a superstar, far beyond what Tristan can compare to.
Florentino put a piece of information in front of List. List looked at it and found that there was nothing surprising about the list. List could even guess it. Among the lists above were Barcelona's Figo and Depor.
Rivaldo and Boboski from Luña, Mendieta from Valencia, Zidane from Juventus.
These five players are the top five players that Real Madrid fans most hope to introduce. There are some others below, and those are players outside the five.
"Mr. Perez, I don't understand what you mean. I don't like to use my brain. I like simple things. If you have anything, you can tell me directly."
"Mr. Cherny is different from the rumors. I heard that Mr. Cherny likes to chat. You can negotiate for an hour in ten minutes."
Florentino was not in a hurry and said with a smile. Then he looked at List and said word by word: "Mr. Cerny, who do you think is the most likely to transfer among these five players, and who is most important to me?"
Elections most helpful?”
Riester didn't understand what Florentino meant today. However, Riester said without hesitation: "Who is the most likely? I think Rivaldo and Boboski should be relatively easy. Who is the most helpful?
It must be Figo."
"Mr. Cherny, you are thinking the same thing as me. So I would like to ask you a favor." (To be continued...
