The club suddenly wanted to cut salaries, and it can be said that all Dortmund players could not calm down. After all the Dortmund players came back from the meeting, they immediately found their agents to discuss how to deal with this situation.
There are many players in Dortmund, and of course there are also many agents. But most of them are agents who work alone, and there are few agents like Riester. Therefore, after the incident, many agents took a wait-and-see approach.
Their attitude changed because they all wanted to see the attitude of Lister, the big broker. They knew that as long as Lister could withstand it, they would be able to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
Only Dede and Amoruso, Evanilson and other Brazilian players made a fierce fuss. Even Amoruso was a big mouth in front of the media and opposed the club's salary reduction plan. Dede even criticized Dortmund's transfer. If
Dortmund is short of money, so why did they buy Frings in the summer? However, none of the local players accepted interviews from the media. Even Rosicky and others said they understood the club's approach when they were interviewed, but they needed to go back and discuss it.
Except for the Brazilian players who are making a big fuss, other agents are waiting for a signal from List. Because compared to them, List has more players and more interests in Dortmund.
"Don't worry. It's a wonderful idea to cut players' wages for no reason."
Boboski, Jankulovsky, Rosicky, and Klose were all waiting for Lister. Just like Lister said to Meyer, Lister didn't care about the benefits of hundreds of thousands.
But for these players, how could they not be anxious if their annual salary of hundreds of thousands of euros was suddenly reduced.
"But you have to remember one thing. You must not be like Dede and Amoruso in front of the media. But it's good, they took all the firepower. You must not be in the limelight."
Riester really didn't understand sometimes. Dede, Amoruso and Evan Nelson, they made trouble during the internal meeting for their own benefit. But after they went back, they must have discussed it with their agents.
Why would their agent allow the players to continue making such a fuss?
Maybe it's because they have already made a fuss, and they can't hide it anyway. They just make a fuss directly, so as to get the support of the locker room. After all, no player wants to lose his own interests, even if Vaughns supports the team like this
Players who take action may not necessarily be willing in their hearts. Therefore, Dede and his actions can win the support of players.
"Lister, the team is in difficulty now. Although I don't understand many things, I also know what will happen if the club faces bankruptcy. Is the club really in trouble?"
Rosicky, Jankulovski, and Klose are all still young. But Boboski is older and has seen a lot. When he was in Spain, he saw many clubs delaying salary arrears, but not cutting salaries.
See more. At this point, Bobosky can imagine that it must be difficult for Dortmund.
"That's right. They spent too much money in the past few years. They bought too many players and their wages were also very high. The important thing is that the Kirsch Group went bankrupt. Dortmund still spent money blindly. Now they are starting to get their retribution.
The current difficulties are not the same thing. According to the current trend of Dortmund, it is estimated that it will be the most difficult around 2005. By then the debt will definitely exceed 100 million, and maybe 200 million."
Even Rosicky, Jankulovsky and Klose took a deep breath. After all, they had played in Dortmund for several years. It was impossible for them to have no feelings at all. One hundred million and two hundred million debts
It will definitely bankrupt Dortmund.
"Liester, are you saying that Dortmund really might go bankrupt?"
Lister nodded and said: "Now is the beginning. It will definitely be very dangerous in the next two or three years. But you don't have to worry, I know all of this."
They were a little surprised and immediately calmed down. Lister's words gave them great relief.
"You have to remember, don't think about these things. At this time, you have to work harder and perform better. Don't let the media catch you."
Now the entire German media is staring at Dortmund. Liszt does not want his players to perform poorly at this time and easily become the target of criticism from the media and fans. The more careful he is at this time, the more he needs to be careful.

"Reinhardt, Michael, have you made a decision?"
Just two days later, Dortmund chairman Raubal and Dortmund general manager Meyer came to see Riester. Neither of them looked very good-looking. They looked very tired.
Among them, Raubal, in particular, has been the chairman of Dortmund for fifteen years and is a meritorious figure in Dortmund. When he was the chairman of Dortmund, Dortmund was just a very ordinary club in the Bundesliga. After so many years of management, especially
It was Dortmund who won the Champions League in 1997, and Dortmund's performance reached its peak. It can even be said that with Dortmund's current status, Raubal's contribution is the greatest.
But it is precisely because of him and the uncontrolled investment of he and Meyer that Dortmund has reached its current situation. There are many such examples in European football. Including Deportivo Lendoiro,
Lazio's Cragnotti and others were all former club heroes, and they single-handedly built a very powerful club in European football. But in the end, they were also the ones who put the club into crisis.
"Rister, can you really lend our club 15 million euros? On what terms?"
Raubal and Meyer have thought about it for a long time. Dortmund is in a very difficult situation now, otherwise they wouldn't have even taken a salary cut. They know that there is no free lunch in the world. List is currently the most powerful player in European football.
One of the agents happily shelled out tens of millions of euros, so it is impossible that he really has a good heart. Even if I kill them, I won't believe it.
"The interest is bank interest, I will never ask for more."
Riester is not a loan shark. And even if the interest rate is higher, how much money can he get out? Riester threw this money in and did not think about getting it back in a short time. Because Dortmund's financial situation will continue to deteriorate in the future.
Things started to improve in 2009 and 2010. Lister knew that he would not be able to get back the money for seven to eight years, or even ten years. Lister did not intend to invest the money in Dortmund.
Money begets money.
Raubal and Meyer did not feel relieved after listening to Lister's words. They even hoped in their hearts that Lister would ask for more interest, so that they would feel more at ease.
"But after all, this is a large amount of money, and you can't do it without some guarantee."
"What guarantee do you want?"
Both Raubal and Meyer knew that the show was coming. List smiled and said: "Reinhardt, Michael, your club's stadium is now sold, and the stocks are worthless. Of course, I don't dare to ask for the stocks. As for your first-line players,
Apart from my players, there are no players that catch my eye that I can mortgage to me."
After listening to Lister's words, Raubal's face turned dark. It is true that Dortmund has sold everything that can be sold and mortgaged everything that can be mortgaged. Recently, Raubal has thought of another way. That is to give the players to
Mortgage means that as long as the players are sold, their money will be the first to be repaid. But Riester now says that there is no need for first-team players to mortgage.
"I like to do player futures business the most. Among the current Dortmund first-team players, except for Metzelder and my players, no player's value has room for growth. I only invest in players whose value can increase in the future.
interested."
Raubal and Meyer looked at each other, neither of them quite understood what Lister meant. However, they both remained silent in a tacit understanding, waiting for Lister to continue.
"Reinhardt, just leave your youth training camp to me."
"What?"
Meyer yelled before Raubal because they had never heard of a mortgage youth academy. Looking at the looks of Meyer and Raubal, Riester smiled and said: "I didn't want to
Your youth training camp. I want to be your club’s youth training consultant and help your club retain good talents. Only by retaining good talents can they help Dortmund rise. Only if Dortmund rises will my money be wasted.
Piao. Do you think so?"
Raubal and Meyer looked at each other, and at this point they already understood what Lister meant. What Lister wanted was not a mortgage at all, what Lister wanted was to join Dortmund's youth training camp.
"Rister..."
"Reinhardt, I will help Dortmund retain the best players. I have no involvement in their ownership, and what I covet is not their ownership. I am just an agent."
Raubal did not answer directly. Because he knew that once a big agent like List was involved in the Dortmund youth training camp, none of the geniuses in the Dortmund youth training camp would be able to escape the clutches of List. But then he thought about those talented players.
You need to have your own agent.
Cooperation with anyone is not cooperation. Now that Liszt has spent tens of millions of euros, he must have requirements. And even if Liszt is already very strong in Dortmund now, he will only be stronger in the future. Maybe with Liszt
His special vision can really cultivate more youth training players for Dortmund.
"Okay, Riester. We will hire you as a consultant for the Dortmund youth academy."
Agents cannot serve at the top of the club. Therefore, many agents name themselves as consultants at the club, which is actually just a countermeasure. Lister knows that as long as he becomes a consultant, Dortmund's youth training camp will allow him to come and go at will. As long as he becomes a consultant, he can come and go at will.
He can enter and leave the Dortmund youth academy at will, and none of the talents in the Dortmund youth academy can escape from the hands of Riester.
Grosskreutz, Reus and Götzelist will not let go. Lister knows that he is taking advantage of the situation this time, but Lister does not feel any guilt. After all, he has spent 15 million euros.
Help Dortmund get through this.
"Reinhardt, let's sign a contract. Next week, next week I'll give you the money."
