He was stunned by Lister's words. He never thought that Lister would give up the opportunity to enter Sparta Prague in order to become a football agent.
Agents are not a rare thing in the sports circle. Well-known sports figures now have agents. If we say it, the history of football agents is very early. Thomas Czerny has been Sparta Prague for so many years.
Of course, the senior management also knows the players’ agents.
But in fact, this kind of football agent is not very active in European football.
Even in the currently strong leagues, including Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and Eredivisie, most of their players do not have agents.
The brokerage industry is not very common.
Only those superstars, or those outstanding players, usually need agents. There are also those players who transfer from one league to another, they need agents to help them handle some things in the middle.
There are only these situations.
But ordinary players don't need an agent.
What do you need a broker for?
Those ordinary players don't have much to do, so they won't do it if they are asked to support their agents.
For example, Czech football agents are completely invisible.
How much are Czech players’ salaries now?
Nowadays, the annual salary of the main players of the Czech middle and lower clubs is less than 10,000 U.S. dollars. This kind of income cannot support agents at all. Moreover, there is some domestic turmoil in the Czech Republic. Although the economy has recovered, no domestic companies have begun to pay attention to these issues.
soccer player.
Therefore, there is basically no off-site advertising revenue.
For example, Czech football players negotiate with their clubs on their own. They are far from having the luxury of using an agent.
Therefore, there is currently no so-called football agent in Czech football.
Players playing in the Czech Republic do not need an agent. Only when they leave the Czech Republic and go to play elsewhere in Europe will they find a temporary agent.
And those agents are not Czech agents.
They are agents from top European leagues. More often than not, if a club wants to introduce Czech players, it will find an agent who has a good relationship with the club and let him participate in negotiations.
That player will also become a player under the agent.
That's the model.
Some Czech players even moved abroad and only used an agent during the transfer. Then the commission was given to the agent, and then the cooperation between the two ended.
They are looking for an agent just to transfer.
After the transfer, those agents will no longer be needed.
This is the situation with European football agents now.
In other words, the current Czech football world does not need the football agent industry.
At this time, List wanted to become a football agent, which surprised Thomas Czerny.
"Lister, you have to think clearly. As for the players in our club, there is no such concept as an agent. We all negotiate directly with the players. If you become an agent now, you have no future at all.
.”
"If you look at the players of the Czech national team, 80 to 90 percent of them do not have agents. Except for those players who play abroad."
Sparta Prague is a powerful club in the Czech Republic.
Even players from such wealthy clubs don't have agents. Where can List be an agent?
And even if they really become agents, the salary of those Czech players is just that much now. According to FIFA standards, agents take 5% of the player's salary.
Of course, when you transfer, you get a commission from the transfer fee.
The common saying for this commission is 10%.
But this is not fixed.
If you play well, then don't say 10%, or even 20%, 30% is possible. But if you don't play well, you have to worship God to get even a little commission.
In terms of the current income of Czech players, even if he has ten famous Czech players under his command, List's income is still very low.
The best way for someone like List is to work in Sparta Prague for a period of time and then take over from Thomas Czerny and become the manager of Sparta Prague.
At that time, you will be able to easily become the middle class in the Czech Republic.
But how much does a broker earn?
There is no guarantee.
But Riester smiled slightly.
The smile is full of confidence.
Grandpa and father did not know how rapidly football would develop in the future. They did not know how outstanding the agent industry would be in the future.
The money an agent can earn in the future is definitely not something that a rural team like Sparta Prague can understand.
But Riester knew.
In the future, agent giants like Mendes will be super agents who can have a say in super wealthy clubs like Real Madrid. The amount of player transfers in a summer exceeds hundreds of millions of euros, and the income in a summer is thousands.
Thousands of super-agent predators.
Including Israeli super agent Zahavi, Arsenal's real agent Jerome Anderson, Raiola, who has many stars such as Ibrahimovic and Balotelli, etc.
These people are able to influence the entire European football world.
Even those wealthy presidents and famous European coaches dare not look down upon them.
Lister's target is them.
Lister wants to be a better super agent than them.
It's 1994 now.
After the Bosman Act comes into effect, huge changes will occur in European football. By then, player agents will be a very profitable industry.
Of course he couldn't explain these things to them.
Therefore, List explained it from another angle: "In 1990, Roberto Baggio went from Florence to Juventus for a transfer price of 12 million U.S. dollars. And two years later, Papin, the top scorer in Ligue 1, paid 15 million U.S. dollars.
The transfer to Milan broke the record, and then Juventus bought Vialli from Sampdoria for US$18 million, and then Milan spent an astonishing US$21 million to buy the then 23-year-old talented winger Lentini from Turin.”
After entering the 1990s, the European football market began to recover strongly.
Look at these net worths.
Very amazing.
This is especially true for Serie A, the most powerful league in European football.
"When Bergkamp went to Inter Milan last year, his worth reached US$11 million."
Riester raised his index finger and said with certainty in front of his grandfather and father: "Look at these transfers. The commercialization of European football is getting faster and faster, and the value of players will further increase in the future. And their salaries will also get higher and higher.
.There will definitely be big transfers worth 30 million US dollars, 40 million US dollars, or even more than 50 million US dollars in the future. This is a huge cake. It is precisely because there are currently no football agents in Czech football, so I want to
Get a head start.”
"If I have a player like Bergkamp, how much will my annual income be? How much commission will I get from the transfer fee alone? I just want to find an outstanding player like Bergkamp.
.”
Riester danced and expressed his opinion.
In fact, the real Riester is definitely not so irritable. Riester himself studied very well since he was a child, and then stayed alone in Germany for five years. He is relatively stable.
Not to mention Tang Yi. After being involved in Chinese football for more than ten years, Tang Yi is far more calm than others think. After more than ten years of pretending to be a grandson in China and swallowing his anger, he has fully developed the ability to be indifferent to joy and anger.
Now the main reason is that the two memories have just been mixed, which makes Lister unable to grasp his own character.
Sometimes he looks calm in his thirties and forties, and sometimes he looks sharp in his twenties. Anyway, even Lister himself can't grasp his own character.
And with the memory of the future, Lister was a little excited thinking about his success in the future.
That's why it's what it is now.
Riester's grandfather and Thomas Cherney looked at each other.
Finally, Lister's grandfather said seriously: "Lister, are you sure you want to be a football agent?"
They all hope that List will take over.
But they won't force List's choice. Maybe List has been a football agent for a period of time, and maybe he hasn't successfully returned to the track they hoped for.
Anyway, Lister is only twenty-five years old now, and it won't be too late to play for another ten years before entering the club.
Moreover, Thomas Cherny is now in the prime of life and there will be no problem in working for another ten years.
List nodded.
"Grandpa, father. I want to be the best football agent in the Czech Republic and the best football agent in the world."
Now Riester was feeling very excited.
Even I couldn't suppress my excitement.
All he thought about was that he would become a super agent like Mendes in the future and dominate European football.
Florentino, Galliani, Moratti, Ferguson, and Wenger are all friendly to him. Even if they want to introduce a certain player, they need Riester to help them.
The more I think about it, the more excited I become.
"Rister, we respect you no matter how you choose, but you have to know that any industry is not easy. You need to go step by step. There is never anything easy."
Thomas Cherny saw Riester letting go, so he snapped.
His father's words brought Lister back to his senses.
yes.
Those are still dreams. If you want to truly become a global broker, there are still many steps you need to take. There is no such thing as pie-in-the-sky good things in this world.
Su Yun felt ashamed of the excitement just now, so he immediately said seriously: "I understand, father."
