"Yes, what do you think of him? I think Riquelme can't adapt to Barcelona. Barcelona will definitely kick him out... Don't you think Aimar is the most suitable to become the new core of Barcelona?"
Mascardi had the same meaning when he met with Riester today. He wanted to take Aimar away from Valencia, and he wanted to introduce Aimar to Barcelona. In fact, Aimar had just arrived in Spain. In 2002, he paid 27 million euros.
The price came to Valencia. This is a big deal, mainly because the departure of Benitez and the departure of players such as Vicente and Jankol made Valencia fans very dissatisfied. Therefore, in order to appease them, Soler
I got Amar at a high price.
Of course, Aimar performed very well in Valencia. In half a season, he was currently the best attacking midfielder in La Liga, not inferior to Zidane and Belleron. Unfortunately, Mascardi was not very satisfied because Valencia
Lencia has financial problems. It should be said that the entire Spanish club has financial problems. Valencia has begun to suffer from a shortage of funds due to its previous crazy investment. Mascardi is not willing to let Aimar waste time in Valencia.
He wants to take Aimar away.
Agents like Mascardi will not passively wait for the results of others. The Barcelona presidential election has not yet begun, but Mascardi has already begun to evaluate the possibilities of these candidates. After Mascardi’s evaluation, he believes
Laporta is the most likely to be elected president of Barcelona. Therefore, he hopes to establish a relationship with Laporta as soon as possible.
Although Mascardi is very strong, his rise to prominence is too short, and most of his players play in Serie A, so his connections in La Liga are limited. In particular, he has nothing to do with Barcelona. He and Gaspar
He didn’t have much contact with Laporta, let alone Laporta. He did know Russell, but Russell was more closely related to Brazilian football and didn’t have much contact with Argentine football. So Mas
Cady wanted to have a relationship with Laporta, but after searching around, he targeted Riester.
He was too blind to contact Laporta and Rosell directly. When doing business in football, you cannot contact them, you need an intermediary. Among these people, it is obvious that Riester, who is a colleague, is the most suitable.
"The relationship between Franzi and Barcelona is very good. Are you so sure that Riquelme will leave Barcelona?"
Riquelme's agent Franzi is not a very powerful agent. He is very low-key in the agent circle. He even has a soft personality. Especially when negotiating face-to-face with the club, this person does not seem to be a very good agent.
People like Raiola and Mascardi are so powerful that they rarely make any moves off the court. Therefore, many colleagues laugh at him behind the scenes, thinking that he is not a competent agent and cannot fight for the best interests of his players.
.
But this person has a unique vision, and the players he finds are better than the last. Not only that, although this person has a somewhat soft personality, his players all rely on him. Moreover, in terms of qualifications, this person far surpasses Mascardi.
He has been an agent for more than 20 years. He used to be Maradona's agent, but of course he was only Maradona's agent for a period of time. So he has a good relationship with Barcelona, especially with Barcelona.
The relationship with Gaspart is very good. He didn't have any outstanding players after that, but recently he got two outstanding players.
One is Barcelona's Riquelme, and the other is Manchester United's Forlan. These two players are both very talented players and have made their own names in South American football.
"Francis has a good relationship with Gaspart."
Hearing Mascardi's words, Riester smiled. Gaspart has been the vice president of Barcelona for so many years, and has always been in charge of sports. Most of the agents who work with Barcelona are related to Gaspart.
The relationship is very good. But Laporta is different. Laporta and Gaspart are incompatible, and their relationship is very bad. It should be said that Laporta is not just targeting Gaspart.
It is aimed at former Barcelona chairman Nunez. Therefore, the better the relationship between the agent and Gaspart, the more difficult he is to get along with Laporta.
Mascardi has been observing Riester's face from the beginning. However, Mascardi didn't notice anything. Riester's expression was very normal from the moment he came in. He said what he needed to say and smiled when he needed to.
"Mr. Cherny, what do you think about my matter?"
As soon as Lister let go, Mascardi knew that the matter might have a big name. Mascardi briefly learned about Laporta's campaign team and roughly understood their division of labor. Laporta became the chairman of Barcelona
, and Rosell will become his assistant, especially the vice president in charge of athletics. As an agent, Riester will definitely be Laporta's advisor and Rosell's right-hand man. In the future reconstruction process of Barcelona,
Lister's voice is definitely not small. This is necessary, because without this commitment, Lister would not be able to join Laporta's campaign team.
"This matter——"
Listera has a long voice. Aimar is an excellent attacking midfielder, and he is even Maradona's successor in Argentine football. But Lista knows that Aimar's development is not as expected. The biggest reason is
His physical condition is average. And regarding Meng Er, List has already discussed with Laporta and Rosell.
Ronaldinho, he is the core of the future Dream II. Moreover, Laporta and Rosell both believe that Barcelona’s youth training should be valued. Valdes, Puyol, and Xavi will receive more attention.
Attention. It doesn’t matter whether you have Aimar or not, it is not in everyone’s plan.
Of course, there is actually no problem in bringing in Aimar. In the current Valencia, Aimar and Ronaldinho each perform their respective duties, and the cooperation between the two is considered good. But Riester kept thinking in his mind, instinctively
Exclude Aimar from joining Barcelona. Historically, Aimar has not achieved the results he should have, but who knows what results he will achieve when he arrives at Barcelona.
After all, Aimar's technical style is also in line with Barcelona's playing style. But whether Aimar can succeed is another matter. It is not Aimar that Rist rejects. What Rist really rejects is Mascardi. In Barcelona's update, Rees
Special can allow some other agents to enter, but it will never allow brokers like Mascardi to enter. Because ordinary agents have no threat to Rist's status, but agents like Mascardi are big
Crocodile will threaten Liste's position at Barcelona.
So Riester seemed to be considering it seriously, but in fact Riester just didn't want to reject Mascardi so quickly. After waiting for a while, Riester said: "Mr. Mascardi, I'm sorry that I can't help you with Aimar's matter.
When Sandro and I discussed the future of Barcelona, we did not think that Barcelona needed a player like Aimar."
Riester refused simply. Mascardi's originally smiling face froze, and he looked straight at Riester and said, "Mr. Cherney, is there really no possibility?"
With the status of List and Mascardi, their status in a club is very important. Just like List agrees to join Laporta's campaign team, Laporta must give List enough The advantage. This advantage is obvious, that is, Barcelona must not introduce players from List's rival agent in the transfer. Therefore, if List absolutely rejects players, Laporta will not introduce them. In this industry, You must abide by the rules of this industry.
Mascardi didn't expect that he had given List enough face, but he didn't expect that List would give him no face at all.
"Sorry, Mr. Mascardi."
"good."
Mascardi looked at Riester coldly. Mascardi was very angry. With Mascardi's status in world football, there are very few people who can allow him to take action in person and come to England to visit him in person. Shao. If it weren't for List's influence in European football today, how could Mascardi treat him so grandly? I didn't expect List to reject him so simply.
Looking at Mascardi's back, Lister sneered. South American agents are used to being tyrannical in South American football, and they really regard themselves as uncles. They don't think about it, after all, they are only South American agents, not natives of European football. Agent. And Mascardi is not Figel. Figel is a truly powerful person. He has huge connections in FIFA and UEFA, and he also has his own status in major European clubs.
Riester is not even afraid of Figel, so what is a Mascardi? If Mascardi had not made several big-money transfers during the most prosperous period of Serie A, how could he be as famous as he is now? The foundation is far from that of Mascardi. There are many agents who are more powerful than him in European football. It's just that they all keep a low profile.
What is really great about Mascardi is not his strength, but that Mascardi is a real businessman. Agents like those in England are more conservative than the other. They are very traditional agents and lack flexibility in business negotiations, even When negotiating salary, just say how much it is, and don't know how to grasp the principle of flexibility. But Mascardi is different. He completely treats his players as commodities and uses business methods to manage his players. Therefore, it is far better than Those truly powerful agents are more likely to make money.
Riester doesn't care about Mascardi, but when he thinks that Messi will play in the World Junior Championship in the summer of 2003, he has to think about Messi. Mascardi can't help Riester in European football, but in Argentina The football world is still pretty good. If a player is ostracized by his teammates in the national team, then even Pele and Maradona can't do anything about it. It seems that he has to find something to keep Mascardi busy.
Riester picked up the phone and kept looking at the list in the address book. After hesitating for a while, he dialed someone's phone and said: "Marquez, where are you?" (To be continued.)
