"World Footballer of the Year is just fucking bullshit."
The selection of Footballer of the Year in 2002 was very interesting. December 17th was the European Footballer's award ceremony, and December 18th was the World Footballer's award ceremony. The two award ceremonies were one day apart. The subsequent awards ceremony was very
This rarely happens, but it was like this in 2002.
The European Ballon d'Or award ceremony was held in Paris, while the World Footballer award ceremony was held in Madrid. Prior to this, Rist had not received any hint from FIFA, and Rist had nothing to do with FIFA.
Very good relationship. Without getting any hint from FIFA, List knew that Nedvěd would be impossible. Whether it was the European Ballon d'Or or the World Player of the Year, the winning players would basically be notified before the award ceremony.
Because it was just one day later, neither Rist nor Nedved had time to celebrate the European Ballon d'Or. Although the result of the World Footballer was within Rist's expectation, Rist was still very angry. Ronaldo actually won it.
362 points, while Nedved only had 189 points, which was more than 170 points behind Ronaldo. This result made Riester very angry.
The World Footballer of the Year lags behind and likes to select some famous players. List has known this for a long time. The authority of the World Footballer of the Year is very poor, far inferior to the European Golden Globe Award. In 2002, Ronaldo only played
Seventeen club games and thirteen national team games. In this year, Ronaldo scored 11 goals for the national team, which was more than he scored for the club. Ronaldo did not play in 2002 due to injury.
How many club games have you played?
It can be said that from the competition throughout the year, if Ronaldo had not scored eight goals in the World Cup, his performance would not be as good as Zidane and Carlos. Not to mention Nedved, whether Nedved is in the World Cup
He is still better than Ronaldo at the club. Of course, Ronaldo's eight goals in the World Cup are indeed amazing, and it is not surprising to win the World Footballer. What surprised Riester was that Ronaldo's lead was so big, how could he lead?
Nedved reached more than 170 points.
"Haha, Riester. This is not just once or twice. The World Player of the Year has always been nonsense. Nedvěd has a European Ballon d'Or. It is far more valuable than the World Player of the Year."
When Lister arrived in Madrid, he was greeted by Mark Roger. Although this person had a very bad reputation in this circle, he was completely notorious. But after Lister interacted with him, the relationship between the two became good. Because the two
There is no personal conflict of interest. On the contrary, the two people can cooperate when negotiating with the club.
In fact, List admired Mark Roger very much. Although this person is infamous in football, his ability to maneuver both sides is definitely not something ordinary people can match.
Just like in history, he had a quarrel with the Real Madrid club over Makelele. At that time, he quarreled with Valdano and Florentino every day, and eventually he left Real Madrid with Makelele and joined Chelsea.
But after such a big incident, Mark Roger did not completely fall out with Florentino. On the contrary, he still served as a consultant in Florentino's team at Real Madrid. Even after Florentino resigned, he still stayed
Mark Roger continues to serve Real Madrid. He is the only agent in world football who can gain Florentino's trust after offending Florentino like this. Such a skill cannot be learned by Riester.
.
"Mark, I heard that you recently bought a Swiss club?"
"yes."
"Why are you planning to change your career?"
There are many powerful agents in European football. It's just that many of them are very low-key, so many people in the football world are not familiar with them. Just like Pini Zahavi, many people don't know him.
If it weren't for Pini Zahavi's two record transfers for Ferdinand, many people in the British football world wouldn't even know Pini Zahavi. But his strength is intimidating to many people. Pini Zahavi
Harvey is truly a top agent.
There are many low-key but powerful agents like Pini Zahavi in European football. They rarely argue with others, and they don’t even have much friction with clubs. They just do business quietly. Fame
It doesn't look big at all, but it is powerful.
Mark Roger is different from them. This person has a very bad reputation. Many people say that he is an agent who does anything for money. Many people despise him, but what many people don’t understand is Mark Roger.
Jay is also a real player. His net worth is more than 30 million euros at least, and he is ranked among the top European football agents. Moreover, this person has great influence in French football, and many French agents are willing to work with him.
cooperate.
"It's not a big deal to change your career. Don't you own several clubs? Do you want to change your career too?"
"hehe."
Lister smiled. Mark Roger didn't have to do anything. Now he can get millions of euros every year as a consultant for Real Madrid. But Lister couldn't help but said: "Mark, there are not many good players in Switzerland. You
It would be too unfair to invest this money. It would be better to invest it in clubs in the Netherlands and France."
"On a whim. On a whim."
Mark Roger said it very easily, but Lister knew it was definitely not that simple. Who is Mark Roger? He is the most astute person in the agent circle. How could he buy a club on a whim, but Lister
No deep questions. Everyone has their own secrets, so why do you need to know them?
"By the way, Mark. You must have something to do with me, just tell me directly."
Lister didn't believe that Mark Roger would be so kind to take Lister in and then arrange such a luxurious suite for Lister. Although Lister and Mark Roger's personal relationship was okay, it was definitely not as good as this.
"You really guessed it right. Do you know how much salary Claude currently receives at Real Madrid?"
"Two million?"
"An annual salary of 1.2 million."
When he said this, Mark Roger was very dissatisfied and completely aggrieved. At present, Real Madrid's salary is relatively high. Let's talk about a few high-salaries like Raul, Ronaldo and Zidane. Their annual salary is 600.
Multi-million euros. Even adding some other things can reach 8 million euros. As Real Madrid's main midfielder, Makelele has an annual salary of only 1.2 million euros. How can he be satisfied?
"It's low, too low. It doesn't meet Real Madrid's status as the world's largest club. With Claude's ability, he should receive a salary of more than three million euros. Even four million euros is not a lot."
Lister could only follow what Mark Roger said. Of course, Lister also felt some sympathy for Makelele. Real Madrid really went too far. Makelele is very important in Real Madrid's tactics, but his salary is Real Madrid's
The lowest salary.
"Lister, Claude will be thirty years old soon. I can't let him continue to earn this salary. I know you have a good relationship with the Premier League club, and you also know that my reputation in the Premier League is not very good. I hope you can
Help me put pressure on Real Madrid."
Mark Roger stirred up trouble in England and offended more than one or two clubs. The one he offended the most was Arsenal, and because his reputation in English football was so bad, many clubs stayed away from him. But now Europe
The richest clubs in football are all Premier League clubs, and only Premier League clubs have the money to buy players.
Mark Roger has never thought about letting Makelele leave Real Madrid. After all, this is Real Madrid. But with an annual salary of 1.2 million euros, Real Madrid is not only a slap in Makelele's face, but also a slap in Mark Roger's face.
Face. If Mark Roger cannot help Makelele fight for his interests, how can Mark Roger have the face to continue in this industry in the future?
Don’t underestimate the interests of just a player. Makelele is a player of Real Madrid. With the implementation of the superstar policy, Real Madrid’s influence is growing. Makelele’s matter will make many people watch. Mark Roger
He must not retreat. Once he retreats, his previous reputation will be completely ruined. Mark Roger thought for a long time and believed that the only clubs that are qualified to put pressure on Real Madrid are the top clubs in the Premier League. And in the Premier League, Lester is definitely powerful, so
Only then did I find Riester.
"Mark, this is a small matter. But if you can't do it now, you should wait until next summer. Don't worry, by then I will definitely create a situation where all the Premier League giants are interested in Claude. I will definitely cheer you up."
Lister knew that next summer would be the time when Russian tycoon Abramovich came to Chelsea. At that time, the wealthy Abramovich would make an offer for Makelele, so there was no need for Lister to worry. This kind of favor was done as a matter of course.
, Riester is not burdened at all.
Hearing Riester's cheerful answer, Mark Roger was very happy and said: "Thank you, Riester. It's your favor this time. You can always come to me if you have anything in the future."
Mark Roger was very generous, and Lister nodded. In the agent circle, there are unspoken rules that belong to them, and there are rules that they must abide by. It doesn't matter how you act, or even what your reputation is.
Just like favors, if you owe a favor you must repay it. If someone owes you a favor and fails to repay it, then he will have overdrafted his integrity. No one will believe you in the future.
Therefore, as an agent, you can cheat your own players, or you can cheat the club, and of course you can also cheat the agent. But if you receive favors from players, clubs, and agents, but default on the debt, you will be criticized by the entire football world.
Contempt. So many people would rather owe money than owe favors.
Riester is willing to let Mark Roger owe him a favor. Because Mark Roger has a wide network of contacts in European football, especially in French football, and is very powerful. Good players in French football are divided up when they are too young.
So List needs the help of an agent like Marc Roger.
"Mark, I remember what you said. Don't be annoyed if I bother you in the future." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
