309 Marching into France

Taking advantage of Stretford's time to deal with the media, Middlesbrough quickly completed its transfers. Of course, Stretford did not have the ability to prevent these transfers. After all, it was outside the English football world.

, Stretford is completely at a disadvantage compared with Lister. As long as he leaves England, no matter which league he is in, Stretford cannot match Lister's connections. If he dares to go to places like Spain and the Netherlands,

, Riester can blast him out.

However, when Abidal was introduced, he was blocked by Jerome Anderson, which made List very unhappy. Fortunately, List had enough player reserves this time. Of course, this player reserve was not List's strength, but entirely the result of future generations.

The memory brought by it. Without this memory, Lister would definitely have suffered a disastrous defeat this time under the attack of Stretford and Jerome Anderson.

It was thanks to List that he was able to survive the blows from Stretford and Jerome Anderson. If it were any agent in European football, even those big brokers, this time he would be beaten by List.

Retford, the local English agents headed by Jerome Anderson were so repulsive that they had already abandoned their armor and left the English football world.

The reason why he was able to survive this time was entirely because Lister had ten more years of their memory. This was the only advantage that Lister had in being able to deal with them confidently.

But every time he thinks about French football, List gets angry. In European football, English players, Spanish players, Italian players, and German players are basically unwilling to go abroad. In addition to because their leagues are better, more

The reason is that their players don't adapt to other leagues' styles.

Just like if English players go to Italy or Spain, their rough skills at the feet will be magnified. Similarly, when Spanish players come to England, they will feel the league that emphasizes physical strength. And Italian players who are used to Italy's slow pace

, whether in Spain or England, you will not adapt.

Just like Samuel, who is as famous as Nesta in Italy, he was constantly teased by others when he arrived in the Spanish League. Mendieta, who was a powerful player in Spain, became the biggest parallel import in Lazio's history when he arrived at Lazio. Look at Robbie again

Keane was well-known in European football when he debuted. When he arrived in Italy, he didn’t even know where the goal was. Of course, like Arsenal’s Vela, he didn’t adapt at Arsenal. But in La Liga, which is more technical than physical.

Among them, there are a lot of goals. This is due to the different styles of each league.

Although there are occasionally successful players, overall the flow of players between them is not large. There are only French players, and they are really all over the entire European football world. Not only French local players, those African players will also pass through the French league and then

Come to other European leagues. And since Wenger has used French players extensively, French players are typical representatives of high quality and low price in European football.

But since Zidane and Henry retired, French football has declined a bit. But French football still has no shortage of good players, including Zidane's successor Gourcuff, Nasri, who is known as the Four Little Swans, and...

Alpha, Benzema, Mene, and people like Mexes, Koscielny, Sakho, Mwila, and Lamy are also outstanding. Of course, in addition to these local players from Ligue 1, there are also

Many foreign players.

Lister is really unwilling to give up on such a big market. Although France has produced many outstanding talented players after Zidane and Henry, only one person became a real superstar. Gourcuff fell, and the four little swans

Among them, only Nasri and Benzema have developed slightly smoothly, but they have not met expectations. The others are basically quite satisfactory.

Only one person later became a player comparable to all the superstars in world football, and he was also the only flag in France's downturn: the scarred warrior Franck Ribery.

List had not thought about entering French football so early, but Jerome Anderson stimulated List's nerves. So List started to dabble early. List knew that as long as he caught Ribery, then List would

Te's influence in French football in the next ten years will be guaranteed.

"His strength is average."

Although Lister has no development power in France, he still opened a small office here. Moreover, Lister’s head office is in Monaco, and Monaco is Lister’s hometown. Although Monaco is a principality, its relationship with France

It is so close that it can almost be regarded as a city in France. Therefore, List has many staff in France. Therefore, it is not difficult to investigate a player, and when List pays attention to any player, he will

Understand the player’s eighteen generations of ancestors.

This is especially true for players like Ribery. Ribery became famous relatively late. When he was twenty years old, he was still playing in the third division of France. He was not recognized by European football until he was twenty-three years old.

We know each other. But Ribery is not actually a player from Yeluzi. He also came from a regular youth training camp. He was already a member of the Lille youth training camp when he was thirteen years old. The Lille youth training camp is in France.

It is a very famous youth training camp in football, and many outstanding players have come out of this youth training camp. In the near future, players like Hazard will emerge from here and become famous in European football, and will be hailed as the next generation of emperors.

players.

It's a pity that sometimes things are so funny. After three years in Lille's youth training camp, the coach of Lille's youth training camp thought that Ribery had no future, so he drove Ribery away and kicked him out of the club.

After Ribery later became a superstar, I don’t know if the Lille youth training coach who decided to drive Ribery away regretted it.

In fact, Ribery does not lack talent. It is impossible for a player without talent to enter the Lille youth training camp. His explosive power, his speed, his ball feel, and his combination of man and ball are all very good. In Ribery

After three years of formal training in the Ernst Youth Training Camp, Ribery's basic skills are not bad. He has speed, explosive power, good dribbling ability, and his basic skills are not bad. Why was such an outstanding player kicked out?

The Lille Youth Training Camp is very formal, and their coaches are all excellent. Otherwise, the Lille Youth Training Camp would not have become a well-known youth training camp in French football. Since they think Ribery has no future, of course

There is a reason. The biggest problem is that Ribery's physical fitness is not very good. When he was 16 years old, he was like a stick. Now Ribery is already 18 years old, and his physical condition is still not very good.

.

Unlike some other French stars who have average physical conditions. Many French players have excellent foot skills and excellent ball control skills. The most typical one is Pires. Pires is not slow, but he is not very fast either. But

Few people can steal the ball from his feet because his ball control ability is so good. Players like him can use very delicate passing movements to avoid physical contact. Of course, this is not to say that Pires' physical fitness is not good.

, but refers to the fact that many French players have excellent ball control abilities like Pires. Players with poor health use their foot skills to avoid physical collisions.

But Ribery's dribbling is different. Ribery's dribbling relies more on his speed and explosive power, as well as his excellent ability to combine man and ball, making changes while running at high speed. Ribery

This is the strongest point. Therefore, his thin body, only 1.7 meters tall, makes it difficult to use his strength. He wants to use his speed and skills, but those people can knock him out as long as they collide.

He was inconspicuous when he was about thirteen years old, but by the time he was sixteen, many other children were developing very well. Casual collisions during team training made Ribery unable to control the ball. Therefore, he was

The coaches at Lille's youth academy thought he had no future.

However, surprisingly, Ribery's passing is still very good. It should be that he also knows his weaknesses. It's just that he is too young now and has little experience, so he cannot perform at all in the low-level French leagues.

After coming out of Lille's youth training camp two years ago, Berry never gave up playing football. It was only now that he finally found a team in the third division.

"It says here that he also has a bad temper."

List flipped through some of the investigation reports, which stated that Ribery had transferred to many lower-level league teams since leaving the Lille youth training camp. Of course he was eliminated by the Lille youth training camp, and of course there would be no other

The club is interested in him. The only option is to return to his hometown and join a team in a lower-level league. But the teams in those lower-level leagues don't think highly of him.

"Many people laughed at his scar, and he would shake his fist. According to our investigation, he had fights with his teammates more than seven times in the past two years alone."

The staff under Riester got to know Ribery very carefully. Although he is not a very professional scout, he does not know everything, otherwise he would not be able to join Riester's company. He didn't know anything about it.

You can see that there is something outstanding about Ribery that makes it worthy for his big boss to come all the way to France.

"Actually, Lister's health is not bad at all, it just looks bad."

Riester shook his head and smiled. Ribery became famous relatively late, but looking at Ribery's performance today, Riester knew that sometimes Bole is really important. Maybe Ribery's health two years ago was really very

It's bad, but two years later, although Ribery's health is bad now, it's not that he can't play in the professional league.

And judging from the investigation, Ribery did some manual labor after coming out of the Lille youth training camp. Maybe because of this, although his body does not look strong now, it is not too bad. And his body

He looks thin, but he has done physical labor so his internal strength is not bad.

More importantly, the French low-level leagues are the same as the English low-level leagues. Players in these leagues rely more on their bodies because of their poor technical skills and poor technical skills. List even believes that if the current Ribery is not in France

In the C-League, but in the French Second Division or French Ligue 1, he can better utilize his advantages.

The current Ribery looks average to outsiders, but Rist can see that the current Ribery already has very strong strength. However, he has not shown it yet, and Rist knows that Ribery still lacks Bole. If

He met Bole when he was eighteen or nineteen years old, so there was no way he would have wasted so many years.

"The training is over, let's go down and meet him."

…………

"Franck Ribery."

Facing Riester, Ribery was a little confused. The scar on his face was very obvious. It may be because of this scar that Ribery has some inferiority complex and his character has some offensive surnames. Anyone who dares to laugh at him

He will go up to fight with everyone, although his body is not as good as theirs. Therefore, some of the club coaches that Ribery has worked for do not have a good evaluation of him, thinking that he is a troublemaker.

But Riester is very lucky. If Ribery's character was a little better, he wouldn't have no place to play football until now. In fact, with his current strength, Ribery should be able to play in the French second league. It's a pity.

Because of such a bad record, he was kicked directly to the third league. Otherwise, at the age of eighteen and with such good ability, Ribery would have been poached by his agent. When will it be Riester's turn to take the lead?

"Frank, please introduce yourself, I am Lister Cherney."

Lister had a smile on his face, and then greeted Ribery in standard French.

"Hello, Riester Cherny?" Ribery thought for a moment, and then asked doubtfully: "Mr. Cherny, do you have anything to do with me? Do we know each other?"

Riester's confident smile solidified in an instant. Damn it, there are still people in European football who don't know him. He just completed the transfer of Pavel Nedvěd, which cost more than 43 million euros.

Transfer. Although Zidane's transfer shocked the entire European football world, Nedved's transfer was also shocking.

Moreover, Ribery speaks very fast, but his pronunciation is completely different from the French that Rist learned. Even Rist sounds a little awkward. Ribery knows that Ribery was born in northern France, so his accent is also different.

Northern accent.

Seeing Lister's depressed look, the staff next to Lister laughed. As a big boss, he is now a VIP when he goes to any club, including the giants in European football. Is it possible to recognize Lister in European football?

, that was really outdated. The fierce-looking boy in front of him was so funny. But as a subordinate, he had the obligation to solve the problem for the boss, so he stepped forward and said: "Frank, this is the boss of our company. He just transferred to Juventus this season.

Pavel Nedved, Poboski and Rosicky who moved to Dortmund, they are all players of our company."

"oh……"

Ribery looked at Riester sideways, but it was clear that he didn't believe it in his eyes. Ribery was aggressive, but also had low self-esteem. Especially the scars on his face made him suffer too much ridicule. If

The person in front of you is really that powerful, so why are you looking for him?

When he was in the Lille youth training camp, there were some agents who contacted him. But after he was eliminated from the Lille youth training camp, he didn't see any agent. Unexpectedly, he hadn't seen his agent in two years.

How could such a powerful agent come to look for me now?

"hehe."

Lister could only smile bitterly. There are countless young players in European football who want to worship him, and all the young players that Lister can receive in person are extremely talented players. He didn't expect that the kid in front of him would treat him like this.

.

"Come on, Frank. Why don't we find a place to talk." (To be continued.)
