After the World Cup, Lister has been busy. First he went to French football, then he helped transfer Liverpool to English football, and then he helped his players to be loaned to Metz. Of course, he also did some things in Spanish football.
, and then helped Rosicky and the others negotiate a new contract. Anyway, for more than a month after the World Cup, List had no time to sit down.
In fact, Riester's agency has handled more than 80 transfers after the World Cup. There have been more than a hundred new contract negotiations. Many Czech players have started to enter other leagues by relying on the success of the World Cup championship.
The total transfer fee exceeded 180 million euros. However, among so many operations, Lister only operated about ten transfers. Lister operated only his direct players, and those general transfers were
Operated by club staff.
The agent's commission from this summer's operation amounted to more than 16 million euros. In addition to the commission and the benefits received during the player contract, the total amount was more than 5 million euros. In one summer, List's agent
The company has an income of more than 20 million euros. It can be said that List's speed and ability to attract money have left many European football agents dumbfounded. Even Figel and Mascardi were not as powerful as List.
Of course, the various commercial incomes that come with winning the World Cup are countless. At the beginning of August, an English organization predicted Lister's income for the year. In his prediction, Lister will earn 20% of his income in the next year.
At least 40 million euros can be earned. In the next year, List's net worth can reach 200 million. Although it is only a guess, it can also be seen that the Czech Republic's World Cup championship brought List income.
List is already the unquestionable first agent in European football. Whether it is from the quality of players controlled, the number of players to income and influence, List is already the unquestionable number one agent. There are many players in European football.
The big brokers all have their own spheres of influence, but overall no one is Rist's opponent.
In the midst of this busy schedule, more than a month has passed. The 2002-03 season has already begun. Since the Premier League is the first to start, Liester's first stop will be in England. Even if the games start at the same time,
List will also pay attention to the Premier League. Because List's next main goal is the Premier League, and Liverpool is not an ordinary club, but one of Europe's top giants. Benitez became Liverpool's head coach, and List finally had a manager.
A wealthy head coach.
"Rister, how does it feel to have a head coach from a wealthy club?"
"What do you think?"
Although Benitez became the head coach of Liverpool, Lister did not sit with the chairman of Liverpool during the game, but sat with Daniel Levy of Tottenham. The first round of the Premier League game was
Liverpool faces Tottenham at home.
Leicester and Liverpool cooperated because of Benitez. However, Daniel Levy's Tottenham and Leicester have many cooperative relationships. The only two giant clubs in the Czech Republic, Sparta Prague are Leicester
Family, and Slavia Prague belongs to Joe Lewis and Daniel Levy. The two of them collaborated to purchase the Colo-Colo Club in Chile. Therefore, Daniel Levy and List already have a lot of
The cooperation, the interest relationship is complicated, and the personal relationship is also good.
"It's a pity. Why don't we at Tottenham have such an excellent coach like Benitez?"
"Why, something's wrong with Coach Hodel."
The current head coach of Tottenham is Hoddle. Hoddle is a meritorious player of Tottenham and plays a decisive role in the history of Tottenham club. If you investigate the prestige among Tottenham fans, Daniel Levy is not Hoddle's opponent.
"There's chaos in the locker room."
Daniel Levy shook his head. He was very helpless. Since he joined Tottenham, nothing has gone as planned. From the beginning when Campbell left for free without renewing his contract, Tottenham's performance has become worse and worse. Daniel Levy
Not only is he the owner of Tottenham, but unlike former chairman Sugar, Daniel Levy himself is a Tottenham fan. Seeing Tottenham's performance getting worse, of course he feels very unhappy.
At first, List told Daniel Levy to find a coach who was familiar with English football. List meant that it would be better for him to find a veteran in English football like Redknapp. Unexpectedly, Daniel Levy would find him.
Of course, from the perspective of Daniel Levy, Hoddle is indeed the most suitable.
After all, Hoddle is a famous coach in British football. He has coached Chelsea and the England national team. The important thing is that Hoddle has achieved outstanding results in Tottenham's history and is a legend of Tottenham. That's why Daniel Levy found Hoddle.
But because Daniel Levy became the chairman of a Premier League club for the first time, he didn't have any understanding of English football and was a little slow in the transfer market.
Hoddle took over Tottenham, which was in panic after Campbell left for free. In addition, the transfer market was not strong, so Tottenham's results were very poor. The important thing is that Hoddle didn't know what was wrong and handled the problem too much in the locker room.
Rough. Many substitute players were very dissatisfied with him.
"Coach Hoddle is experienced in many battles. Why can't he deal with the problems in the locker room?"
Riester asked doubtfully.
"Many people on the bench are dissatisfied with him. But he is most dissatisfied with me because he thinks I don't support his work. Haha."
Daniel Levy curled his lips. Daniel Levy thought he had supported Hoddle's work enough, because since Hoddle became the club's head coach, Daniel Levy has not interfered with his work at all. Tottenham Hotspur Team
All things are decided by Hoddle himself, and Daniel Levy has not participated in the transfer market. And although they have not spent much money in the past two years, the club has also spent more than 20 million pounds. Plus this summer
The expenditure has exceeded 30 million pounds. It has even reached nearly 40 million pounds. This kind of support is not small. In three years, European football has spent 40 million pounds and more than 60 million euros.
The number of clubs can be counted on two hands.
But Hoddle always blamed Daniel Levy, thinking that he didn't understand anything. It was the board of directors headed by Daniel Levy who did nothing. That was why Tottenham's performance was poor. This made Daniel Levy quite angry.
"Coach Hoddle is too arrogant. He always regards me and Sugar, the former chairman of Tottenham, as the same type of people. He thinks that we know nothing about football. He treats us as fools who know nothing about football."
Speaking of this, Daniel Levy became indignant. Because every time Hodel talked to Daniel Levy, he treated Daniel Levy as a layman. He always looked down on Daniel Levy.
If Tottenham's current results were not in turmoil, Daniel Levy would have started Hoddle long ago.
"Daniel, you might want to find an expert as your advisor."
Lister can understand how Daniel Levy feels. After all, there have been many such things in football. Not only in football, but also in many industries. The subordinates are insiders, while the boss is an outsider. And then those subordinates
Just look down on the boss, and then fool the boss. This will make the boss very helpless.
Before Daniel Levy came to Tottenham, Tottenham boss Sugar was the biggest example. Because he didn't understand anything. First he let Venables fool him, and then he challenged the football world to recruit Venables.
There is an unspoken rule that in the end he can only leave Tottenham in despair. Daniel Levy is not willing to become Sugar.
"Yes. But who should I look for?"
Daniel Levy nodded. He had had this idea for a long time, but facing a Tottenham star like Hoddle, he needed someone to restrain him and give him advice. Such a person is not easy to find.
While Lister was talking to Daniel Levy, he began to think about it. This is a good opportunity. Tottenham is also a strong team in English football. Moreover, Lister and Daniel Levy have a good relationship. If he could introduce someone to him.
People who have a good relationship will have an even better relationship with Tottenham when the time comes.
"Daniel, you know Frank Arnesen, the general manager of PSV, right?"
"certainly."
Although Arnesen has been in Eindhoven and has never left Eredivisie football, his reputation in European football is still very loud. Because PSV has produced too many good players in the past ten years. The reputation.
The very famous Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ronaldinho, and Lucio all came from PSV. Therefore, Arnesen is highly respected as the general manager of PSV.
Although Daniel Levy has only been in English football for a short time, Eindhoven's general manager Arnesen has heard of him. He just doesn't understand why Lister mentioned his name.
"I met Frank in the Netherlands some time ago to discuss Grigra's transfer. He told me that he was planning to leave PSV and try other clubs in Europe. I think you can contact him."
"Arnesen? He's leaving PSV?"
Daniel Levy was very surprised. Because Arnesen has always been the representative of PSV. If fans talk about PSV, they will think of players like Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo, Cocu, and Ronaldinho.
, or think of coach Hiddink, but the insiders are different. Within the football world, the first thing everyone thinks of when talking about PSV is always Arnesen. I didn’t expect Arnesen to leave Eindhoven.
Inhoven.
"Well, Frank not only has huge connections within the Netherlands. He also has his own connections in South American football. Of course, more importantly, he has been the general manager of Eindhoven for many years, and he has a lot of influence on the football world.
He knows everything very well. If you ask him to be your consultant, you will definitely not have any problems."
"Arnesen?"
Daniel Levy has no friendship with Arnesen, but he still felt a little moved after listening to Lister's words. The reason why Hoddle looked down on himself was because it was his first time as club president and he didn't understand the football world. If there was Arnesen
It is indeed the best thing for such a person to help himself.
"Liester, you and Arneson are very familiar."
"Of course. We have known each other for almost seven years. The personal relationship is good."
"Give us a lead."
Daniel Levy wanted to have a chat with Arnesen. Lister looked at Daniel Levy and said, "No problem."
