The representatives of South American football have always been Brazil and Argentina. Many players from other South American countries made their debut in their own countries, but many of them first played in Brazil and Argentina before moving to Europe. Then they joined UEFA through their performance in the Brazilian and Argentine leagues.
In South America, not only the national teams of Brazil and Argentina are the strongest teams in South America, but their leagues are also the strongest. Compared with them, Chilean football has nothing to praise, but occasionally some outstanding players come out.
That's all.
In the past there was Zamorano, and later there were Salas, Pizarro and others. In the future there will be outstanding players like Vidal and Sanchez. But Chilean football is just that. Most of the time the Chilean national team enters
The World Cup also failed to break through the group stage. It has only broken through the group stage twice in history. Forty years ago, it won third place in the World Cup in Chile, and then in the 1998 World Cup in France, it broke through the group stage and entered the top 16.
Just did this twice.
Riester does not value Chilean football because Chilean players are not as cheap as African players, nor are they as talented as Brazilian and Argentine players. This time he came to Chile just to find Pellegrini and rely on him in the future.
It was just to make some money. But when Lister came to Chile, a headhunting company found Lister. It was a headhunting company, and it was a matchmaker for a Chilean football club and found them a partner.
"I never had the idea of investing in a Chilean club."
The headhunting company that came to find List was led by their director Ector Miral. Lister did not expect that these headhunting companies were indeed very powerful. Lister had only been in Chile for a few days, and they had already found him.
I. I have never had anything to do with Chile.
Hector Mirar is a woman who looks to be about forty years old. She wears glasses and speaks very standard Spanish. She is dressed in a very unisex style, and you can't tell she is a woman unless you look closely.
The whole body is covered in black clothes.
Mirar saw Riester shake his head and did not leave. Instead, he continued: "Mr. Cerny, I know that your family is the largest shareholder of the Czech giant Sparta Prague, and you yourself also own the powerful Belgian team Mech.
London club. And you have a cooperative relationship with the football school in Côte d'Ivoire."
Lister listened quietly, feeling helpless. These things about Lister are not secrets. If you really want to understand Lister, these things are very easy to know. But the company in front of you is from Chile.
How can a company know its own affairs so well? But after thinking about it, it’s true. Now is the era of world integration, and Chile is a relatively open country in South America. This company may not be a local company in Chile, but a multinational company.
Not sure.
"I believe that all Mr. Cerny has done is to expand his player resources. Although our player market in Chile is not as good as that of Brazil and Argentina, the strength of our Chilean players is also obvious to all in world football. If Cerny
Mr. Erny is willing to invest in our Chilean club, so that there will be a market for Chilean players in the future. I believe this transaction will not be a loss for you at all."
Looking at the eloquent Mirar, Riester could only laugh. Today, he only had one intention for him, and he wanted to find a partner for a Chilean club. In the end, Riester couldn't refuse Miral, so he took the job.
I checked Miral's information. The Chilean club currently looking for a partner is Colo-Colo Football Club of Chile. It is the most popular club in Chile and one of the largest football teams in Chile.
Colo-Colo Football Club has won 23 Chilean League championships and 13 Chilean Cup championships in history. It is even the only club in Chile to have won the Copa Libertadores. It is a veritable giant in Chile.
club.
Of course, the history is glorious. They even won the Copa Libertadores nine years ago. But the glorious history, coupled with the strong strength of the current team, is of no use in the face of a complete economic failure. Colo-Colo Club
Although it is very strong, its management is poor, its financial situation continues to deteriorate, and its debt exceeds 10 million US dollars.
But Colo-Colo Club itself has no money, let alone nearly 15 million US dollars in debt, or even millions of US dollars. So now they are very anxious, and now they can still deal with it. But in the next two years
These debts will mature one after another in the middle of the year, and there will be no solution at that time. As long as the debtor party goes to court, Colo-Colo Club will have no leeway and can only wait for bankruptcy. Don’t think that you are a big player in the country, Colo-Colo Club
Although Locollo Club is a giant in Chile, it is different from a giant like Real Madrid, which is supported by the state. There is nothing you can do to make you bankrupt.
As a Chilean giant with a long history, they really have no choice now. Therefore, they can only find partners, hoping to help the club survive this crisis. Unexpectedly, they found themselves. List is a bit funny. So directly
Pushing away: "Ms. Mirar, I'm really sorry. Colo-Colo Club has so much debt now, it's all their management's fault. I'm cooperating with them now, but they will still be in debt after a while. Then I
Isn’t all the money invested gone to waste? I won’t do such stupid things.”
Colo-Colo Club now owes nearly 15 million U.S. dollars in debt. Colo-Colo Club itself only has assets of about 30 million U.S. dollars, but now it owes so much debt. Moreover, it is now difficult for the club to pay the salaries of its players.
List has also spent a lot of time in football, not only in the five major European leagues, but also in many small leagues in Europe.
After these days, List finally understood. When he was in China, many Chinese fans criticized Chinese clubs for being irregular, which was why Chinese clubs were unable to make money in football. They believed that there was a big problem with the operation of Chinese football clubs.
.Rister thought the same way when he was an agent in China. He always believed that as long as the Chinese football environment was better and the club's operations were more formal, there should not be such a large loss. Football clubs should make money.
of.
But now Riester's idea has completely changed. Wanting to make money with a football club is completely rare in world football. In world football, the number of losing clubs is not one or two, but ten football clubs.
Seven or eight of them are losing money. If one out of ten is making money, it is very good.
In Spanish football, if there is no support from the government, nine out of ten La Liga teams will go bankrupt. Clubs like Real Madrid are supported by the state, while clubs like Barcelona and Valencia are supported by the local government.
Look how wealthy people are in Belgium. But Belgian clubs are basically unprofitable and are all in debt. There is only one club in the world of football that can build a 400 million pound stadium as frugally as Arsenal.
You can count them on your hands. Because it is so difficult to make money from football.
List only wants to be an excellent agent and has never thought about investing in football. List of Mechelen Club in Belgium only wants to be a transit station. Let List invest in a team like Colo-Colo that owes so much debt.
, but Leicester has no interest. Such a club would require an investment of around ten million dollars.
Although Lister can't afford tens of millions of dollars now, Lister doesn't want to invest in this situation.
"Mr. Cerny, you may not know that none of the Chilean football clubs are joint-stock companies, because Chilean law does not allow Chilean clubs to demutualize. But recently, Chile is also considering changing this situation, because Chilean football clubs are not allowed to demutualize.
Football clubs owe too much debt, so there is no need to stop this aspect. As long as the football club does not go public, there are many Chilean clubs that have started to look for partners privately. If you are willing to invest, then you can become a member of Colo-Colo Club
The major shareholder. Their request is very simple, that is, they hope you can afford the debt. If you are willing, they can let you reorganize the club's management as the major shareholder. They are willing to give up the management rights of the club."
Even if the management rights were given away, Rist would not have the ability in this area. After thinking about it, Rist had no ambition in Chilean football. If it were not for Pellegrini, Rist would not have come to Chile. But.
After all, Colo-Colo Club is a Chilean giant and a strong team in South America. If it is in the hands of List, then List can rely on this club not only in Chile, but even in South American football. It can be regarded as a success in South American football.
A bunker.
But Rist needs tens of millions of dollars, or even more money. If he fully obtains the management rights, Rist estimates that he will need an investment of about 20 million U.S. dollars. This is not a small amount, not one or two million, three or four.
An investment of one million. It is an investment of tens of millions or twenty million US dollars. Lister cannot make this decision easily.
Therefore, Lister nodded and said: "Ms. Mirar, I will consider this matter carefully. After all, it involves a large amount of money. I need to go back and discuss it with others, and I also need to conduct a more comprehensive data analysis."
"Thank you, Mr. Cherney."
After sending Miral away, Lister shook his head. It seems that there are far more powerful people in this world than Lister imagined. It was just his first time in Chile, and someone came to visit him. It seemed that he was an agent.
It is already in some people's data systems.
However, Riester did not continue to pay attention to this matter. Such an investment cannot be made in a day or two. Riester needs to read information about the Colo-Colo Club after returning and listen to the opinions of some professionals.
Able to make a decision. And this matter is not what Rist is most anxious about right now.
Let’s take Pellegrini back to Europe first. There are other things to do when we arrive in Europe. (To be continued.)
