Lister is an agent. In theory, what an agent needs most is to balance all aspects of the relationship. Theoretically, an agent must not have too many positions and cannot be too close to a club. Especially Being a wealthy club, you need to be even more careful. Because all wealthy clubs have opponents and even mortal enemies. If Leicester is attached to a wealthy club, he will be squeezed out by other wealthy clubs in the same league.
Therefore, in theory, the most ideal situation is to maintain friendly relations with all wealthy families. Only in this way can we not be excluded by some wealthy families and maximize profits. But theory is always theory, and there is always a gap between theory and reality. .If someone wants to survive in reality based on what is in books, they will definitely die. People who only believe in books and theories are commonly known as "nerds".
Lister really wants to maintain relations with all the wealthy families and do business without bias. Unfortunately, Lister is not the center of the universe. All planets need to revolve around Lister. Everyone has their own ideas, and Lister cannot let them We all follow Rist's ideas. It's the same at any time. Those who think they are smart and want to take the middle road will be the first to be operated on. So in reality, you need to prioritize.
After thinking about it for a while, Riester decided to accept Russell's invitation. Real Madrid will spend 1.1 billion euros in the transfer market in the next ten years, and Barcelona will also spend 600 million euros in the next ten years. Although in the next ten years, Barcelona's youth training was full of talents at the beginning, but the money spent by Barcelona was still ranked among the top five in world football. This is a good partner. And even if it has established a close relationship with Barcelona, it does not mean that it cannot be with Real Madrid. Doing business. Anyway, Lister can’t keep up with the first phase of the Galaxy. It would be good for Lister to use these three or four years to do business with Barcelona.
As for Real Madrid, Riester had not thought about doing business until 2006. When Calderon comes, Real Madrid will still spend a lot of money. And by 2006, Riester will have more and more good players. At that time, List had enough capital to do business with Real Madrid. In the nearly four years left, List had to do business with Barcelona.
"Hello, Mr. Cherny."
Although Laporta was smiling, his eyes looked very sharp. It should be said that from the first meeting, Lister felt that Laporta must be a relatively strong person.
"I'm glad to get a positive reply from Mr. Cherny."
"I should be honored."
Laporta is a lawyer by background, and talking is his strength. Because it was the first time the two met, they exchanged a few words. In just a few words, Riester could feel Laporta's aura. Riester used to I have always thought that Florentino's charm has overshadowed all European football club presidents, but today I met Laporta for the first time and realized that this person's aura is no worse than Florentino. It's just that Florentino Tino is a tycoon in his own right, and he has a spring breeze when he speaks. Laporta, on the other hand, has an aggressive aura.
After making some digressions, Laporta looked at Riester and said: "Mr. Cerny, you are an expert on the internal situation of football. I am an outsider. I have worked with you in Valencia. We also have current cooperation with Villarreal and Extremadura, both of which have good results. I heard that you have contributed a lot to the development of their clubs. I would like to hear your current views on Barcelona. There are also future directions for development.”
The chairman of Barcelona is still Gaspart, but Laporta's tone is as if he is the boss of Barcelona. Lister can feel Laporta's strong self-confidence. Lister knows that Laporta was elected chairman of Barcelona
At that time, the vote rate was very high. It seems that Laporta has already started his activities, and he should have the support of many heavyweight members of Barcelona. Otherwise, how could he have such high self-confidence.
Since Riester is willing to join Laporta's campaign team, of course he has to show off his skills. After all, this is the first time the two have met, and Riester wants Laporta to know that he is not in vain. And today, he met with Laporta.
Also together are Rosell and Bartomeu, heavyweights in Laporta's campaign team. But Laporta is an outsider in football after all, so when he talks, it can be roughly stated in a macro sense. If
Even if many things in it were detailed, it would be impossible for Laporta to understand.
"The most fundamental reason for Barcelona's chaos in the past two years is that Chairman Gaspart's thinking is unclear. He has no idea about what kind of Barcelona to build, so he has not made any plans. Especially the transfer of Figo.
This left him a little at a loss and lost his calm negotiating ability. Therefore, as long as he was a strong player, he would not care about it, regardless of whether he was suitable for Barcelona. The final result was that the money was spent. But the effect
But it’s too bad.”
To be honest, Gaspart has very strong negotiation skills. Especially when he was the vice chairman of Barcelona, he had many classic transfers. Unfortunately, this skill was very useful when he was the vice chairman of Barcelona, but he
After becoming the president of Barcelona, things got messy. Some people are born to be the second in command, and forcing him to become the first will only mess things up.
"Overmars, Boboski, Hérard, Petit, Alfonso, none of these are in their original form when they arrive at Barcelona. They are all players who performed very well in their original clubs, and they can be said to be incompetent.
Not convinced, it can be regarded as some failed transfers. But people like Giovani, Rosenbach, Bonanno, and Christian Val, who are worth more than 10 million euros, are out-and-out parallel imports. Many people do not understand Barcelona
Why spend so much money to buy them? These transfers alone cost Barcelona nearly 200 million, but what was the result?"
Gaspart has been the chairman of Barcelona for less than three years, but he has spent as much money as Florentino. Florentino is now building a Galactico, and Real Madrid's reputation is getting louder with the introduction of several superstars.
.And Gaspart spent so much money, Barcelona is now almost in the relegation zone.
Barcelona's transfer failures in the past three years have been one after another. And the players' worth is even higher than the last. Riester has not mentioned another parallel import transfer, that is Rabbit Saviola. But for now, Savio
The pull status is okay. So Lister did not count him in it.
The money spent in the transfer market alone reaches 200 million euros, plus some agents' commissions, signing bonuses for players, and players' salaries. For example, Saviola's salary is 5 million euros per year.
These add up to Barcelona's expenses. Not only is Gaspart's transfer a bit nonsense, but also his salary. Although Saviola is a well-known talented player, five million euros is simply nonsense.
Okay. But even if Lister didn’t say this, the people present knew it clearly.
"Also, Barcelona bought Riquelme, but the head coach they found was Louis van Gaal. This was completely without any consideration or planning. Moreover, Barcelona did not conduct any investigation on Riquelme. Rique
Riquelme is a genius, the top genius, and the most elegant attacking midfielder. But a player like Riquelme is only suitable to play the core of some teams with him as the core, but he is not suitable to play in a wealthy club.
Because it is impossible for a wealthy club to accommodate Riquelme alone and designate tactics entirely around him. It can be said that Barcelona has not had any planning and ideas in the past three years, whether it is inviting a head coach or in the transfer market.
Blind. The top management has no clear ideas. The team changes coaches frequently. How can Barcelona's results be good?"
Several people listened to Lister's words very seriously. They all understood what Lister said. They just didn't say it outright like Lister, an outsider.
"Mr. Laporta, if a giant like Barcelona wants to continue to maintain good results, what they need most is stability. In other words, the policy must be continuous. The club's top management must know what kind of team Barcelona should build. Instead of blindly
When making various investments, you must not be blind in the transfer market. Transfers must be carried out in a step-by-step manner, and the players introduced should be the ones the team needs most, not the ones with the highest value."
After listening to Lister's words, Laporta said nothing. Russell, who was sitting next to him, leaned comfortably on the sofa and shook his head slightly. What Lister said was empty, and it can be said that there was no substantive content. Russell
Serge looked at Laporta, then looked at the others and smiled. Riester didn't say anything nonsense, but Laporta and the others considered his question seriously.
…………
"Rister, you just talked a lot, now it's time to talk about how Barcelona should develop."
After Laporta and others left, Russell smiled and talked to Riester. As far as Laporta's campaign team is concerned, Laporta is just the boss of the team. He will become the chairman of Barcelona in the future.
And these people in his campaign team all have their own positions, and no one is really obligated to help Laporta.
It should be said that Laporta's team is a combination of interests, in which everyone has their own interests and needs. Laporta is the representative of this interest team.
Russell joined Laporta's campaign team because he will be responsible for Barcelona's athletics in the future. With Russell's connections and abilities, Laporta must give him enough chips, otherwise Russell will not be able to come out.
To help him, Riester knew that Rosell was the future vice-president of Barcelona and that Rosell was responsible for the entire transfer of Dream II. And when Rosell was in charge of Barcelona transfers, it was Barcelona that had the best transfers.
When Rosell left Barcelona, Barcelona's performance was good, but the transfer market was full of confusion. All kinds of parallel imports continued. Except for Rosell's period, in the next ten years, Real Madrid and Barcelona will buy parallel imports.
It can be said that the ability is suddenly brightened.
"Sandro, I will speak frankly in front of you."
Rosell is not Laporta. Lister talks freely in front of Laporta because Laporta is an outsider. Although his ideas are deeply rooted in the hearts of Barcelona members, he is still a rookie in football.
But Russell is different, this person will not be fooled.
"kindness."
"I have carefully considered the development of Barcelona. Barcelona is different from other clubs. Since Cruyff coached at Barcelona, the seeds have been retained. Just like the position of the fourth player, Guardiola and Xavi have both
They are players trained by Barcelona according to their own tactics. Since Cruyff, Barcelona's echelon has been a penetrating style of play. Therefore, Barcelona's coach selection should also start from this aspect and inherit this characteristic. A team like Barcelona
It should focus on youth training and continue to maintain its own playing style. Of course, as a wealthy club, it should introduce outstanding players to make up for its shortcomings."
"Specifically..."
Russell nodded. The reason why Russell agreed to help Laporta was because the two of them were similar in some aspects. That is, both of them admired Cruyff's dream and both believed that youth training should be valued.
.However, they also have differences. Laporta has some extreme admirers of Cruyff and is an extreme Catalanist. But Russell is different. Russell believes that Barcelona should have more
International factors. Russell is very willing to introduce more good players to Barcelona. However, for now, their philosophies still have more similarities.
"It's very simple. You first determine the head coach, who has the same ideas as you. Then discuss with him and ask him what kind of tactics he wants to play and what kind of players his tactics require. As long as he can propose
Whatever type of players you want, you can follow this idea in the transfer market. Sandro, I'm not bragging. No matter what type of players you ask for under any tactics, I can give you the most suitable players. Ten million
Don't let a situation arise where Riquelme bought a core player and Van Gaal doesn't deal with it. This will directly ruin Barcelona for several years."
After just a few words, Russell fell into deep thought. Russell was originally a smart man, but he had never dealt with the club's affairs. Now after listening to Liszt's words, he nodded slowly. Then he looked up at Liss
Te said: "Frank told me that you should not be an agent. You should lead a club. I think you should really consider it."
"No no no."
Lister waved his hand. The Frank Russell mentioned was Arnesen from Eindhoven. Because Eindhoven and Nike have been cooperating for more than ten years, and the relationship between Eindhoven and Barcelona is not bad. So Russell is
Meet Arneson.
"I just talk and talk on paper. I still like to be an agent. Sandro, I believe you also understand my style of doing things. Any club that cooperates with me, as long as it proposes a certain type of player, I will do my best to
Go. Even if they are not my players, I will introduce you to the best players. I will not force them on you just because they are my players. I will not do this kind of thing."
