Hidalgo is young and looks a little thin. He speaks softly and has a feminine feel. In the agent circle, Hidalgo can only be regarded as a rising star, but his rise is too rapid.
After all, players like Veron, Crespo, and Lopez are all well-known players in world football. They switched to Hidalgo, which instantly expanded Hidalgo's strength. Of course, due to his sudden rise, Hidalgo also lacked some foundation. He is as solid as Rist.
There is no comparable agent with many years of development.
If it is said that it took Rist nearly ten years to develop to where it is now. In European football, whether it is the number and quality of players he has, or his connections in various clubs, it was Rist who spent ten years slowly managing it.
But Hidalgo is different. Not only has he been in this industry for a short time, but he has also not managed so many connections. To put it harshly, Hidalgo is the so-called nouveau riche. He took advantage of the conflict between Mascardi and the players.
He got a big deal. But Hidalgo didn't have any complacency of the nouveau riche. On the contrary, he always kept a low profile.
"Hello Mr. Hidalgo."
Lister doesn’t want Mascardi to get involved in Barcelona’s affairs, because only one agent like Lister is enough in Barcelona. If there are two too many, there will probably be a fight. Not only Barcelona, but also UEFA.
If any giant in the world relies on two or more powerful agents at the same time, sooner or later there will be a falling out, and internal fighting is inevitable. But by rejecting Mascardi, Rist was afraid that the Argentine national team would reject Messi in the future. Therefore, Rist
We especially need to find some powerful agents in Argentina to fight against Mascardi.
Riquelme and Forlan's agent Franzi are the same, and then there is Hidalgo in front of him. As long as Riester has good dealings with these agents, then even if he really offends Mascardi, Riester will not be afraid.
.It is even possible that with the help of Messi, Mascardi can be squeezed out.
"Mr. Hidalgo, I heard that Diego Milito, who competed in Aveaneda, is your player."
"yes."
Milito Hidalgo's expression is gloomy when he mentions it. Hidalgo is an upstart who has exploded in the past two years. He can be said to be the agent with the fastest growth in power in the past two years. Many stars in Mascardia have defected to him. He has also known Bayern for a long time.
People like Long, Crespo, and Lopez even helped Mascardi arrange their transfers. However, Hidalgo and them only had a cooperative relationship in the past, and their relationship was not necessarily very deep.
They chose Hidalgo not only because of emotional factors, but also because Mascardi was too greedy and even took advantage of the players' interests. That's why they left Mascardi after they became famous, and then found someone they knew well.
The person. That person is Hidalgo.
They are completely different from Milito. Hidalgo grew up watching Milito and was his agent when he was very young. Before Veron and others defected to Hidalgo, his most important star was Milito.
Milito performed well in the Argentine league and attracted the attention of some European clubs.
Especially in the summer of 2002, Roma inspected him. Both Hidalgo and Milito were very happy at the time. Unfortunately, nothing happened after Roma inspected him. This disappointed Milito and made Hidalgo very angry. At this time,
It shows that Hidalgo’s background is not enough. Would Roma dare to offend an agent like Mascardi?
It's obvious that Roma doesn't take Hidalgo seriously at all. What's even more shameful for Hidalgo is that Roma just ignored Hidalgo and actually wanted to bring in Burdisso. Burdisso performed well in Eindhoven, and Roma wanted to
To introduce Burdisso. Burdisso is Hidalgo's player. This is simply a slap in Hidalgo's face. Hidalgo really couldn't bear it. Roma rejected Milito, but they dared to pursue Burdisso's idea. It's really true.
It was unbearable. It was a huge leap for Burdisso to go from the Eredivisie to Serie A and to a strong Serie A team like Roma. But an angry Hidalgo directly rejected Roma.
How dare Roma do this if they change their agents to include agents like Figel, Mascardi, and Riester. This matter has always been in Hidalgo's mind, and he is deeply troubled.
"Do you want him to play in Europe?"
Riester had already found out what was going on with Milito. Riester believed that Roma had gone too far and inspected Milito in a big way, and then disdained Milito's lack of strength. This did not give Hidalgo any face. He also rejected Milito.
He still dared to bring in Burdisso, Roma was doing things so unethically. So Riester took care of Hidalgo's mood and changed his tone and method of talking to him.
"Who's interested in him?"
Hidalgo is naturally capable of snatching players away from Mascardi. Lister changed his tone and method of speaking, but Hidalgo also heard what Lister meant. This was because Lister was taking care of his face, and he was very
It's thanks.
"Extremadura Club. I talked with coach Ramos some time ago. Milito is very suitable for their style of play. I don't know what you think about it."
"Rister, of course I hope Diego can play in Europe. La Liga club, I am very satisfied, thank you."
Riester gave himself face, and Hidalgo was not pretentious. The current Milito is not the Milito during the Inter Milan Triple Crown. The current Milito is just a player who was disliked by Roma. It is already very good that a European club wants him. History
Among them, Milito did not come to Europe until 2004, and the place he went to was a club in the Italian Second Division. So Hidalgo did not hold it in his hand and expressed his gratitude directly.
Hidalgo knows that although he is not weak at present, he has many disadvantages compared to European agents like List, who have been developing in European football for ten years. The biggest disadvantage is the lack of connections, and Roma brushed it off
Milito is the biggest performance. Therefore, Hidalgo currently hopes to establish a friendly relationship with a powerful agent like Riester.
"You don't need to thank me, you should thank yourself for having such an outstanding player like Milito. I have actually read Milito's information. He is a killer, an absolute killer. He will definitely become your flag player in the future."
"Maybe."
Although Hidalgo has a deep relationship with Milito, he does not think that he can reach the height that List said. Hidalgo, he has the potential to become another Mascardi. Of course, it is not ten years ago anymore. In this era, we want to
It takes a lot to become a big broker.
"Mr. Hidalgo, I am actually very interested in Argentine players. In fact, I own an Argentine player, but he is still young, only fifteen and a half years old."
"Really? He must be a genius."
"Well, he is not an ordinary genius, he is the top genius. You should know that there is no shortage of geniuses under my banner, and there are all kinds of talented players. But he is definitely the most talented, and he will have the chance to become the king of the ball in the future.
An absolute genius.”
Hidalgo looked at Lister in confusion. He only said that he was a genius because of Lister's face. This should be regarded as a polite compliment. But he didn't expect Lister to speak so highly of his player.
Hidalgo and Lister were not familiar with each other, and he did not know Lister’s surname. Although Hidalgo had orchestrated the transfer of Lopez from Valencia to Lazio and the transfer of Burdisso to Eindhoven, Lister did not
He had no personal contact with Hidalgo, and there was no relationship between the two. Therefore, Hidalgo didn't know whether Riester was telling the truth or a lie, so he was at a loss for a moment.
"Mr. Hidalgo, I am looking for you for this reason."
"For this matter?"
"His name is Leo Messi, and he has been selected for the Argentina U16 national team. I intend to let him participate in the World Junior Championships in the summer, and his career in professional football will officially begin. But I offended Mascardi some time ago.
.”
Then Riester briefly talked about the grievances between Mascardi and Riester. Hidalgo and Mascardi were partners back then, but now the two have also broken up. So when he heard that Riester and Mascardi had grievances,
He was very happy. He was very smart and quickly understood what Lister meant.
But after understanding it, he was even more shocked. Because he could feel the importance that List attached to Messi. According to List, Messi was just a child who was not yet sixteen years old, but he deserved such attention from List. Because and
Mascardi's grudge is feared to affect Messi's status in the national team.
"Mr. Cerny, can I have a chance to meet this Messi?"
Hidalgo was quite curious. It was rare to see an agent like Riester consider his future in this way at the age of fifteen and a half.
"It's very simple. He is currently playing in the youth academy of PSV, if you have time we will go and see how he performs."
List has never thought about preventing outsiders from knowing Messi. On the contrary, List wants everyone to know Messi, so he does not refuse outsiders at all. If Messi is really snatched away by other agents, it will only show that List has his own methods.
not enough.
"Mr. Hidalgo, you don't know how much I care about him. I know that Mascardi is very powerful in Argentina, and I am afraid that the children in the national team will reject Leo. I still need Mr. Hidalgo's help in this matter.
"
The more Riester talks about Hidalgo, the more interested he becomes in Messi.
"Mr. Hidalgo, there are many good players in Argentina, and I believe you also have many players. As long as they are strong enough, I can help them land in European football."
What a nouveau riche like Hidalgo lacks most is accumulation. Not only is there not enough players, but also very few connections in the football world. Hidalgo needs time and time to digest the benefits. If there is the help of Riester, then it will be very important for Hidalgo to digest it.
The current benefits are very useful.
"Mr. Cherny, you can gain a foothold wherever you have strength. I firmly believe this."
Lister has already thrown out his own bait, and Hidalgo has also taken it. Hidalgo is willing to cooperate with a big agent like Lister. Moreover, Mascardi also has insufficient background in Argentine football. Hidalgo does not want Mascardi to become
A real predator like Figel, because that would harm the interests of their Argentine agents. He has begun to fight against Mascardi, and it would be better if Riester helps.
"I firmly believe this too."
Compared with Figel's dominance of Brazilian football, Argentina's football is much more chaotic, and there are many powerful agents. Lister believes that with a little fire, Mascardi will not have the time to deal with Lister.
As the status of European football becomes more and more important, South American football is already at a natural disadvantage when facing European football. No matter how powerful Mascardi is, it is already at a disadvantage when facing European football agents like List.
.Because Riester and others control the upstream, although South America has many good players, it is only the origin of players. It also depends on the face of European football buyers.
For the sake of Messi's future status in Argentina, Lister must not allow Argentina to have agents like Figel and Mascardi. (To be continued.)
