"Marquez, how is the weather in England? Is it difficult to get used to..."
"Well, it's really annoying."
Marquez Franzi, who was sitting in front of Riester, was a little surprised. Franzi has a good reputation among the world's football agents because he does not use players to put pressure on the club, and it is rare to hear that he and his
Why are the players so awkward? On the contrary, many agents are laughing at him behind his back, thinking that he is too honest. In the agent circle, honesty means pedantry. Because if you don’t know how to put pressure on the club, how can the club increase your players?
salary.
Franzi has been an agent for a long time, and has been there for twenty years. However, his development in the past twenty years has been tepid, and his strength is very average. He is an honest man, so he will not go around trying to make money. On the contrary.
Franchi is honest and only cares about his players. Otherwise, with Riquelme's character, how could he get along so well with Franchi.
These factors surprised Franzi. He did not have much friendship with List, and he had never even communicated with List face to face. This was the first time. So when he received a call from List, Franzi
He had already heard it wrong. However, despite Franci's surprise, he was still very willing to have a good relationship with Lister. After all, he just had a good personality and there was no problem with his IQ.
"Money is a good thing, but money is a bastard. Look at how we endure this rubbish weather in England for such a small amount of money."
"Ha ha."
Franzi burst out laughing when he heard what Riester said. Franzi was older, twenty years older than Riester. He was very happy to hear Riester speak so directly.
"Marquez, have you thought about Riquelme?"
"Roman?"
Franzi felt a little sad when he heard Riquelme's name. As Maradona's agent for a period of time, Franzi still had a high vision. He caught Riquelme in Argentine football.
Such a top talent is very proud of himself. Riquelme has been very successful in Argentine football since his debut. He really has the style of Maradona. Especially when he played with the Real Madrid midfielder in the Toyota Cup, everyone
The Argentine media all believe that Riquelme is the next Maradona. Even some media in European football follow suit.
It's a pity that after following in Maradona's footsteps and coming to Barcelona, he was already disliked by others after only half a season. Riquelme is completely unsuited to the current Barcelona, and some people have even labeled him as a parallel importer.
This made Franzi, who had great expectations for Riquelme, very sad.
"Rister, I still need your help with Roman's problem."
Just like Mascardi, Franzi and other agents who have some relationship with Barcelona are even more concerned about the dynamics of Barcelona's senior management. Franzi has a good relationship with Gaspart, but he also knows that once the emperor is the same as the courtier,
They are also thinking about how to maintain their position in Barcelona in the post-Gaspart era. They all believe that Laporta has great advantages, with the support of Rosell and Riester, and Laporta’s original
In terms of status among Barcelona members, the position of chairman is basically the highest.
So Franzi also thought of List. As long as Laporta can win, then List will play a very important role in the future reconstruction of Barcelona. If List is willing to help, then Laporta will probably pay attention to it after he becomes chairman.
Riquelme.
"Marquez, actually I think Riquelme's future is not in Barcelona. Riquelme's style is not suitable for Barcelona, nor for those giants. In fact, you can consider letting Riquelme leave Barcelona."
"Is there no other possibility?"
Riester told Riquelme to leave Barcelona, but Franzi was not angry, just shook his head and sighed. Riester was indeed surprised. Franzi has also been a veteran agent for more than 20 years, and his personality is really good.
very good.
"Marquez, you have been in this business for many years. You should know that every team has its own core, but any giant will never put all its treasures on one core. And Riker
It’s not like you don’t know May’s style, he needs everyone on the team to play around his style. He is most suitable to be the core of a mid-range team in La Liga and lead such a team to become a strong team.”
"Boca Juniors is also a wealthy family."
"This is the difference between South American football and European football. I believe you also understand."
Franzi sighed, he already understood what Lister meant. Although Lister didn't say it directly, he could understand that this should be what Laporta and Rosell meant. In other words, Barcelona is rebuilding
There is no place for Riquelme.
"Marquez, I met Fernando Roig and Coach Pellegrini some time ago. They admire Riquelme very much and hope to build a new Villarreal with him as the main player.
"
"Lister, let me think about it."
"Marquez, you can go back and think about it slowly. Don't you have any idea about Forlan? Let him continue to play as a substitute at Manchester United and waste time?"
Franzi currently only has two most important players. One player is Riquelme, and the other player is Forlan. Unfortunately, Riquelme is in a bad situation, and Forlan is in an even worse situation at Manchester United.
This time Riester did not wait for Franzi to reply and continued: "Marquez, you are my senior in the agent industry, and you definitely surpass me in terms of ability. Franzi is a good player, but it is a pity that
He is not suitable for Manchester United or the Premier League. His characteristics should go to La Liga and he should play in La Liga. Mr. Roig and coach Pellegrini admire Forlan very much."
"Villarreal?"
"Well, Villarreal will clean up Palermo and lack a striker."
Franzi raised his head and glanced at Riester. He was still very surprised in his heart, because Palermo was a player that Villarreal introduced at a high price. And Palermo's agent is Argentina's first agent Masca
Di Villarreal already has a bad relationship with the Brazilian agent Feigere because of his cooperation with Riester. Is it now necessary to go against Mascardi?
"Well, thank you, Lister."
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Franzi still thanked Lister. Franzi didn’t quite understand what Lister meant by coming over today, but overall, Lister was friendly. Since Lister was friendly, of course he was more
Happy.
"I haven't done anything. On the contrary, it's true that you have good players and attract many clubs. You don't know, many clubs have asked me to find out what you mean."
Franzi smiled. Franzi is just honest, not stupid. The current market prices of Riquelme and Forlan are not as high as Riester said. Even in history, when Forlan was kicked out by Manchester United, the situation was very
Desolate. Although Ferguson repeatedly believed that Forlan was capable, his poor performance at Manchester United caused many clubs to lose interest in him. At that time, there were not many clubs willing to take Forlan in, so Villa, who took in Forlan,
Real Franzi is very grateful.
Therefore, when Riquelme transferred later, Franzi preferred Villarreal. Riquelme wanted to follow his mentor Bianchi to Atletico Madrid. But it was precisely because of Franzi
I am very grateful to Villarreal for taking Franzi in, so I urged Riquelme to join Villarreal. Although there are other factors involved, Franzi's role is very important.
"Marquez, in fact, in addition to talking about Riquelme and Forlan, I have something to ask you today."
"What happened?"
"Fernando Hidalgo, you should be familiar with this person."
"Fernando, of course."
There are many outstanding agents in Argentina, and Mascardi is the best among them. But besides Mascardi, Franzi and Saviola’s vampire agent Zuela are all top-notch agents.
But if we talk about Argentina’s powerful agents, besides Mascardi, it’s Fernando Hidalgo.
Of course, he is a rising agent, and he has some similarities with Mendes. Mendes was Figel's ponyboy back then, but in the process of working as a ponyboy for Figel, Mendes accumulated strength and came to the Philippines.
Gers rose up when he was in trouble. Mendes now has a moderate reputation in European football, but he has already monopolized half of Portugal's resources. Top agents such as Figel, Ribeiro, and Vega, who used to dominate Portuguese football,
They have already lost the resources of Portuguese football and cannot compare with the rising star Mendes.
The same is true for Hidalgo. When Hidalgo first emerged, he ran errands for Mascardi. Later, as his strength grew, he became a partner of Mascardi. But it sounds like they are partners, but in the powerful Mascardi
In front of Di, he is still just running errands to save face. Unfortunately, just as Figel went to death to offend Porto and seek death in Portuguese football, Mascardi also committed his own sin.
Mascardi truly does not treat players as human beings. In his mind, players are commodities. Use those who are valuable and get rid of those who are not. This made many players feel uncomfortable, so they left the club after becoming famous in European football.
Scardi. The target they are looking for is Hidalgo, who is starting to emerge in Argentine football and is a very good person.
In the past two years, many Argentine stars have begun to leave Mascardi and join Hidalgo. Veron, Crespo, and Lopez have all become Hidalgo's players. This has also led to the former partner Mascardi
The relationship with Hidalgo breaks down.
"Marquez, can you help us get in touch? I would like to meet Hidalgo."
"Leave it to me."
Franzi knew in his heart that Lister’s last goal was today’s goal. But what Lister mentioned earlier was benefits. Lister would give benefits first, and then hope that he would help. Franzi was willing to accept Lister’s kindness, so he was also willing to do so.
