41 Mafia Broker

Zeman and the young agent next to him both looked at each other.

The two chatted for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the real owner was sitting next to them.

"Coach Zeman, let's get to know each other again. My name is Riester Cerny, and Pavel Nedvěd is my player."

Zeman was a little embarrassed.

But he was the kind of person who would say whatever he wanted, so he said without caring: "Hello, Lister. In fact, I have been observing Nedved for more than a year."

The moment Zeman spoke, the companion next to him frowned slightly.

Because Zeman really wants to bring in Nedved, his agent told him that he has been observing Nedved for more than a year. This will make him passive in subsequent negotiations.

Whoever is most anxious will be at a disadvantage in negotiations.

But his expression changed quickly.

He frowned for no more than a second and immediately returned to his original state.

But Lister has a sharp eye.

Immediately, I saw the change in Zeman’s companion’s expression.

So I smiled secretly in my heart.

Zeman really shouldn't have said such a thing.

What if he wants to bring in Nedved later?

Because this will put him at a disadvantage in negotiations.

Zeman is so direct.

Zeman was embarrassed, but he had a straightforward personality, so he didn't care. But the young agent next to Zeman didn't look embarrassed at all.

Just under Liszt's nose, I thought about poaching Nedvěd, and I also got to know Liszt Czerny in Czech football. Anyone would be embarrassed to see Liszt, but this guy has a very expressive expression.

It's calm.

very natural.

It's like nothing happened at all.

Although he looks average, like a fat pig.

But that calm expression added a touch of temperament to him.

He smiled and greeted Rist: "Hello, Mr. Cerny. My name is Mino Raiola. Nice to meet you."

Riester also smiled and nodded.

"Hello, Mr. Raiola. Nice to meet you too."

Riester spoke very calmly.

But my heart was filled with turmoil.

Mino Raiola.

If anyone in European football later does not know Mino Raiola, then he is really ignorant.

A notorious agent in European football.

He is an agent that many wealthy clubs in European football are gnashing their teeth at.

Riester also knows Raiola.

It's just that the photos of Raiola that List has seen are all of him when he was in his forties. Raiola is only 28 years old now, only one year older than List.

So when Riester saw Raiola for the first time, he was a little familiar, but he couldn't figure out who it was.

Now that he introduced himself, Lister immediately remembered who this was.

Raiola.

A super agent who can even be compared with Mendes in the future.

It owns players of the same level as Ibrahimovic and Balotelli. Of course, just having these top players will not make you a notorious agent.

There is a reason why Raiola is hated by all the giants in Italy.

When he was at Juventus, he had a bad relationship with Moggi and the others. Later, Juventus was relegated, and Raiola immediately left with Ibrahimovic.

Transferred to Inter Milan.

But Inter Milan doesn’t like Raiola either.

Because Raiola used transfers every year to pressure Moratti, Moratti finally kept raising his salary to 12 million euros. In terms of European football at the time, Ibrahimovic's

The salary was once the highest.

But Raiola is still not satisfied.

Finally, he encouraged Ibrahimovic to transfer and transferred to Barcelona for an astonishing transfer fee.

But I am not satisfied at Barcelona either.

Raiola has a very poor relationship with Barcelona's senior management, as well as with Barcelona's head coach Guardiola.

Just one year later, he moved to Milan again.

One person traveled all over the top three Serie A clubs.

Is this the end?

No.

Seeing that Milan had no money, Raiola once again took Ibrahimovic to transfer to French Ligue 1 upstart Paris Saint-Germain.

How much money did he make during this period?

The transfer from Ajax to Juventus is 16 million euros, the transfer from Juventus to Inter Milan is 24.8 million euros, the transfer from Inter Milan to Barcelona is 69.5 million euros, the transfer from Barcelona to Milan is 24 million euros, and the transfer from Milan to

Paris Saint-Germain is 20 million euros.

From the commissions on these transfers alone, Raiola earned tens of millions of euros in profit from Ibrahimovic.

Including Ibrahimovic's salary and other shares, Raiola earned at least 20 million euros from Ibrahimovic alone.

Certainly not just one Ibrahimovic.

Raiola has many players.

Including Balotelli.

Don't really think that Balotelli is mentally retarded. In fact, many of Balotelli's things have Raiola's operation behind them.

From the emergence of Inter Milan to Manchester City and then to Milan, Raiola is constantly operating behind the scenes.

Very annoying.

He is really infamous in European football.

Even in history, Nedvěd left Lazio and transferred to Juventus, but it was Raiola who acted as an intermediary.

Even now, Raiola is not very well-known in the circle of European football agents. He mainly manages Dutch players. The most recent outstanding transfer was Bergkamp's transfer to Inter Milan.

It's just that Riester never knew that Zeman and Raiola had such a good relationship.

So good that we can watch the European Cup together.

What Riester didn't know was that Zeman and Raiola had known each other for many years. When Raiola first became a football agent, he worked with Zeman.

The two have always had a good relationship.

It's just that Raiola is very low-key, so Lister doesn't know about it.

The three of them got to know each other.

Zeman has a good reputation.

But on today's European Cup stage, he is just a nobody. Because today's game includes big names like Beckenbauer who came to the Old Trafford Stadium.

And many well-known coaches and celebrities in world football came to the scene.

Zeman is nothing compared to them.

And if a head coach and an agent sit together, it will be very sensational news a few years later. Especially when Zeman has not only Raiola but also Riester next to him.

The two of them have many outstanding players.

But it's different now.

Zeman's reputation was average, and his agent didn't have the influence he did later. So Zeman, Raiola, and List sat together and didn't cause any trouble.

The commentators saw this scene on camera and didn't take it seriously. Because those commentators didn't know Riester, including Raiola.

Although Raiola is well-known in the circle, he himself is very low-key.

Even many people in the industry have only heard of his name but have never met him in person.

He has always been a loner.

Let the three of them get to know each other briefly.

However, because the game started, the conversation between several people ended.

Then start watching the game.

Riester was watching the game and thinking about it.

It seems that Zeman has been observing Nedved for a long time. Even if his performance in this European Cup is not good, he should be taken away. Of course, even if Lazio does not want Nedved, Riester can still turn to PSV.

If PSV doesn't want him, List can also send Nedvěd to the Bundesliga.

Although the profits will be less then.

But Riester believes that Nedvěd will be able to succeed.

So I feel a little calm in my heart.

The German team is very strong.

However, this is already the last glory of this group of players in the German national team. Soon the German national team will be in decline.

This is the first time for most of the current Czech players to appear in such a competition.

The performance was a bit reserved.

The condition is average.

There were also many mistakes during the game and the performance was very poor.

They were unable to defeat the German team in the game.

Zero to two.

Czech fans are very disappointed.

"Lister, this is our contact information. We will chat after some time."

After the game, Zeman gave List his contact information.

Although he lost the game, Zeman's interest in Nedved has not diminished. The current German national team is the leader in European football. It is not embarrassing to lose to them.

Since Zeman is interested in Nedvěd, he knows he must not bypass List.

Although he was just an agent, Zeman knew from Raiola's introduction that List was not only an agent, he could even decide some of Sparta Prague's decisions.

"Okay, Coach Zeman."

Riester also immediately gave his contact information to Zeman.

"Mr. Cherny, goodbye."

Raiola did not do this.

According to rumors, Raiola will not have any friendship with his agent or with the club's senior management, and usually keeps to himself. Today it turned out to be true.

But Raiola was not as domineering as later generations said.

Later, Raiola was even nicknamed "Mafia" in the agent circle.

But today I saw that people were very friendly.

I also like to laugh.

And he also likes to talk.

"Mr. Raiola, goodbye."

After seeing off Zeman and Raiola, Riester turned back to Ivanka and said: "Ivanka, it looks like you are going to live in Italy."
