Merkley has officially become the chairman of the Czech Football Association since December 28, 1999. Of course, Merkley is still young, and it will take a period of time to fully establish his authority. But considering his age, Merkley can survive
Outlast the other powerful factions.
The nationality issue of Gilberto and Senna is not something that cannot be solved by Lister. But to solve this problem, Lister needs to use a lot of connections and money. And Lister is not in a hurry about this kind of thing, because whether they change nationalities or not does not matter to Lister.
What substantial benefits? Riester would never do such a laborious and costly thing with no benefits.
But Merkley's decision to solve the problem is justified. After all, he is the chairman of the Czech Football Association, and Merkley's connections in Czech politics are far more powerful than List's. His father's generation was originally an official in Czech politics, and many members of his family are still in the Czech Republic.
When you work hard in politics, it's easy to handle small things like this.
"Made on the fire."
Merkley is happy that he has finally become the top leader of the Czech Football Association. Unfortunately, he is not Obst, and there are still many people who dissatisfy him. He is more than ten years older than Merkley, and there are many people in their twenties. These people
They are all old men in Czech football, and there are not just one or two who are not convinced by Merkley. He still needs to do a lot. Now he is both happy and worried. The pressure of being the second-in-command is completely different from that of being the first-in-command.
"It's just a temporary thing. I believe it won't take long for you to get rid of those thorns."
"It's not as simple as you think. Those people are all veterans and they cannot be solved so easily. List, I need your help at this time. Things at our youth training base cannot be delayed indefinitely."
Merkley made a lot of preparations when he became a member of the Czech Football Association, but the youth training base was definitely a trump card. When Merkley expressed his intention to build a youth training base, he immediately convinced many people in Czech football, including the Ministry of Youth Education.
Many people watching over there immediately supported Merkley.
Merkley received so much support because he stated that he could raise funds. Now that he has become the chairman of the Czech Football Association, if he cannot guarantee this, he will be embarrassed. He will even be bombarded soon.
"Don't worry about this. Bawell, I don't have any problems here. As long as you find a good youth training base and set a time, I won't have any problems here. Don't worry about money."
Although Lister does not have a lot of money now, it is easy to sponsor two million a year. As for Puma, not to mention it is easy to sponsor two million a year. Lister and Jochen Leitz have already had it
A package of cooperation plans. Puma wants to completely monopolize the Czech sports product market, while Riester wants to monopolize the Czech player market. Both sides get what they need.
"That's good, List. I have already found the location for the youth training base, but you also know that the youth training base needs a lot of coaches. We at the Czech Football Association still have a lot of vacancies in this area."
"It's not easy. Recruiting people."
After all, the Czech Republic is not a big country. Although Czech football is not very bad, there are still many gaps compared with football powers. In terms of the number of coaches, Czech football is far behind those European powers. Especially in the past ten years.
Czech football has not developed much. It should be said that Czech clubs have not developed much. Therefore, there have not been many new Czech coaches. Therefore, this time we plan to use dozens or hundreds of youth training coaches and coaches in the youth training base.
The number can’t keep up at once. In terms of the number of coaches, all the coaches in the Czech Republic combined do not have even one-twentieth of the coaches in England.
"Bavel, our Czech Republic is fundamentally inferior to those football powers. If we want to keep the national team strong, we must really pay attention to youth training. We can match players of various styles. Now in South America
, especially the economy in Argentina is very poor, many people are bankrupt and are about to beg for food. I believe that many football coaches have a hard time making ends meet. It will be good if we go there and bring a few coaches over. Just prepare one for them.
Give them a place to live and give them a decent salary and they will be happy."
"Also, Yugoslavia is in more chaos now. They are fighting every day. I believe there are many people there who are willing to coach in the Czech Republic. After all, the most indispensable thing is coaches. Our own local coaches can be slowly cultivated."
This is no longer the case. The world economy has become integrated, and it is not a problem to introduce a few football coaches. As long as they have money, I don’t know how many coaches are willing to go to the Czech Republic, Argentina, and Yugoslavia. The football level is very high, and their football styles
It's very different, even different from the Czech football style. But diversified training can give the national team more choices. This is not a bad thing.
"Lister, what you said is so nice. These coaches are not money, and our Football Association is not rich. They also have a house and a high salary. Who will pay for it?"
Although the Czech Football Association is not rich, it is definitely not as poor as Merkley cried. The Czech Football Association's current income has increased several times compared to two or three years ago, with an annual income of 30 to 40 million euros. Of course, the Czech Football Association spends money
There are many places.
"Bawell, as long as the Football Association can agree to all the things I proposed, then I can definitely make additional investment. Three million euros or even four million euros per year is not a problem."
"Lister, your conditions are a bit harsh."
Merkley really has no way to deal with List's greed. Because List stated in the conditions given to the Football Association that the ownership and agency rights of all players trained in the youth training base are in his hands.
According to the current plan of the Czech Football Association, this youth training base is divided into several age groups. The first age group is from seven to eleven years old. Although children of this age group are trained, more time is required to
Go to school. After all, players in this age group are still too young, and their talents are not too obvious. There will be a lot of young players in this age group, and there are not many restrictions.
The second age group is the age group from twelve to sixteen years old. This is a very critical age group for the growth of a player. And at this age, talent has begun to appear. Therefore, it will be better than that of children in younger age groups.
The number will be much smaller. Lister is also targeting players starting in this age group.
List's request to the Football Association is mainly aimed at them. List's request is very simple. If players of this age group trained in the youth training base change to another club's youth training camp, they must compensate the youth training base. In fact, this is not the case.
That is to compensate List for training fees. After reaching the age of sixteen, their agency rights automatically come to List's agency, and the contract is for ten years.
The last group of players are players in the age group of sixteen to eighteen years old. Players who are over eighteen years old have to graduate. And when the club wants them when they are seventeen or eighteen years old, they must follow the market price and transfer according to the transfer price.
Will pay according to the price.
Lister's meaning is very simple. What Puma wants for sponsorship is fame. They just need to achieve the publicity effect. What the Czech Football Association wants is the development of Czech football. As long as it can continuously supply players to the Czech national team. And that's it. Lister is different. What Lister wants is money and maximized profits.
Therefore, Lister hopes to run the youth training base as a club. All players trained here must be owned by the youth training base, and the agency rights must also be given to Lister's agency. If you do not agree to this Players who meet certain conditions are not eligible to receive training in this youth training base. After they reach the age of twelve, their parents must sign these contracts. If the parents do not agree, then the youth training base will not accept them.
Generally speaking, the conditions are quite harsh. Compared with the youth training bases of other famous European powers, the Czech youth training base has too many other factors from the beginning. Because although it is ostensibly run by the Czech Football Association, But in fact, the money does not come from the Czech Football Association. But after List's conditions were raised, many people in the Czech Football Association still thought it was too harsh. Because according to List's conditions, the dominance of the entire youth training base would be completely in List's hands. .
Merkley is also considering it. After all, Merkley does not need to lead this youth training camp. The performance of the national team determines everything. As long as the performance of the national team is good and the Czech league is well run, then his position will be stable.
"Bawer, really. If you can agree with my suggestion, then my investment will be incremental. This year, I will invest two million euros in the start-up. Next year, I will invest three million euros. Next year, I will invest four million euros. By 2003, At that time, I was willing to invest five million. Then I will maintain this amount every year in the next few years and make our youth training base one of the best in Europe. By then we will not only train our own players, but also if If foreign players want to come to us for training, we can accept that."
Five million every year, for ten consecutive years is fifty million. It sounds amazing, it sounds like an astronomical figure. But if you can really meet Riester's conditions, then the investment of fifty million euros can be earned back. Because The number of players in a youth training base built with so much money must be astonishing. After processing so many players, the income of tens of millions will be easily returned by then. What’s more important is that the next generation of Czech football is in List. within the control of.
"Rister, you are really..."
Every time Merkley sees List, he can feel that List's courage is growing bit by bit, and his courage is getting bigger and bigger. Now he casually expresses his willingness to invest millions of euros every year. Who dares to do this in Czech football? Heroic. There is no one else except Lister.
If there is really an investment from List, Merkley will be very happy. After all, if this money is spent, it will definitely make a difference. The foundation of Czech football is not weak in the first place. As long as such a large amount of money is spent, it will cultivate young talents. Another golden generation is not a dream.
"Lister, I will try my best to promote this matter. As long as you can invest according to your words, I think it won't be a big problem. However, Lister, you have 100% ownership of the players, which will cause public outrage. You There should be a mouthful of soup left for our Football Association to drink."
Hearing Merkley's words, Lister smiled slightly. Lister, who was educated in China, understood that sharing interests is the best way to protect himself. If Lister really swallowed this cake directly, then Lister's
The strength is too strong. Even when Lister can influence Czech football, the Czech Football Association will act based on Lister's eyes. Lister will never do such a thing, because it is too stupid.
Sharing some of the profits from the players in the youth training base to the Football Association can tie itself to the Football Association. In this way, List and the Czech Football Association will have a combination of interests. By then, there will no longer be anyone in Czech football who can shake List's status.
The thing is, all the major clubs in the Czech Republic and the agents in the Czech Republic all act based on List’s expression.
"Pavel, we can find a special opportunity to discuss this issue and see how we can make profits for everyone. I am not a stingy person. The Czech Football Association has put a lot of energy into it, and everyone should share the profits.
But I need to calculate this carefully. The reason why I came to you today is about Gilberto Silva and Senna. They have agreed to join us as Czech citizens, and the rest is up to you."
"I will take care of the small things as soon as possible."
"Pavel, I can only say that you are very lucky. Do you know? Even though the two of them are playing in the Czech First League in Sparta Prague, in fact, both of them have enough strength to enter the Brazilian national team. Brazil
The national team will definitely regret missing them. And with the two of them in the Czech Republic, plus our original players, we can even look forward to winning the championship. Maybe during your term, the Czech national team can win
First World Series champion."
Riester is not just talking nonsense. The Czech national team is really very strong now, and there are many champion players in the national team. Together with Gilberto Silva and Senna, the midfield strength of the Czech national team is already
You can go head-to-head with any strong team in the world.
Think of Latal with Nedved, Boboski, Rosicky, Gilberto Silva, Marcos Senna, Borg, Smicer, Garacek and even Schalke 04
When players like this can only sigh in despair on the bench, how strong the midfield strength of this national team will be.
Nedved is a Ballon d'Or-level player, Boboski is now one of the best right midfielders in La Liga comparable to Figo, Rosicky is the most talented Czech player in the past 20 years, Gilberto Schier
Watt turned out to be the unsung hero of Brazil's World Cup championship in 2002, Senna was the main defensive midfielder when the Spanish national team won the European Cup in 2008, and Borg was considered by Houllier to be the best left winger.
World Cup champion? European Cup champion? It’s not a dream, it’s something you can aspire to. (To be continued...)
