426 Some people are happy and some are sad (Part 1)
"How's it going in A Coruña?"
"Good news."
The game in Eindhoven was almost over, and Lister turned his head and asked his staff. While watching the game in Eindhoven, Lister was also paying attention to the news in other arenas. There were three other games started at the same time.
Among them, there is only one game that Riester pays attention to. That is the game between Deportivo La Coruna and Juventus.
Deportivo played against the powerful Juventus at home. The current head coach of Juventus is Lippi, their meritorious coach. Juventus was very strong last season. But after this season, Juventus’ results began to show signs of improvement.
There was a clear decline. Especially with the poor relationship between Lippi and Davis, Davis was left out in the cold and defected to Barcelona in the winter.
Davis is definitely the top defensive midfielder in European football. His interception ability and running ability are among the best in European football, and he is very important in the Juventus midfield. Therefore, Davis left
After that, Juventus' midfield control and midfield interception ability dropped too much. Therefore, it was obviously difficult in Serie A.
In Juventus, Riester has Nedved, while in Deportivo, Riester has David Villa. Therefore, although he is in the Netherlands, Riester also pays attention to the results of the games that start at the same time there. So the Eindhoven game is about to begin.
When it was over, Riester immediately asked for news on the other side.
"How much is it?"
"Two to zero. The game is over."
"Who's winning?"
“A Coruña.”
Although Riester thought that Deportivo would win, he was still very happy to hear that Deportivo defeated Juventus 2-0 at home. Nedvěd was already famous enough, and losing one or two games would not be enough for him.
Nedved is nothing and will not affect Nedved's status. So for Riester, what is more important now is how Deportivo Villa performs.
"Luke scored one goal and Villa scored one goal."
Hearing the news, Lister couldn't help but clenched his fists. Villa's performance is getting better and better now. Villa has scored fifteen goals in La Liga this season. In addition to the Champions League goals
He has scored 19 goals in Deportivo La Coruna this season. Of course, he scored a goal in this game, and Villa has already scored 20 goals this season.
"And Villa made every pass and shot and was named the best player of the match."
The staff around Lister understood why Lister was paying attention to that game, so they told Lister all the news they knew. Lister nodded slightly. He was very satisfied. He was satisfied with Villa's performance and he was also satisfied with the job in front of him.
personnel.
"Okay. Great."
Today's two games are great news for List. List's players in Eindhoven performed very well, including Yaya Toure, Grigra, Di Natale, and Drogba.
It's all the same. Drogba even scored twice against Lyon. Although he didn't score as many goals as Ruud van Nistelrooy in the Eredivisie, he was still able to score more than 20 goals in a season. Plus the Champions League
, Dutch Cup match. Drogba has scored 23 goals in PSV this season.
Di Natale's goals are less than Drogba's, but he still has 14 goals. List knows that PSV has performed well this season. Many players will definitely leave PSV. Among them
Including the current players of Liszt. The better their performance, the more money Liszt can make by transferring to Liszt this summer.
"Didi didi——"
Lister looked at the phone number and smiled. Then he turned on the phone and said: "Augusto, congratulations on defeating Juventus. I believe you will shock European football this season."
In fact, Riester knew the reason for Lendoiro's call. Since Villa's performance improved, Lendoiro called Riester every day. Because Lendoiro is now anxious, not just anxious. Villa.
The liquidated damages are only 10 million euros, but Villa's current market price has exceeded 15 million euros. If someone took away Villa for 10 million euros, Lendoiro would really cry.
It has been almost four months since Lendoiro wanted to sign a new contract with Villa. But Riester has never given him a satisfactory answer and has always been happy to smooth things over. Now it is Riester
Te had an absolute dominant advantage, and Lendoiro was unable to force Riester. So the matter was dragged on for four months.
And as Villa shined again in the game against Juventus, Lendoiro really couldn't wait any longer. Because after Villa performed well, more and more clubs were interested in Villa. Especially
The biggest shining point is the Champions League. If Villa performs well in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, his value will continue to rise. However, Villa's liquidated damages are too small.
Ten million euros is not a lot of money for many European giants. Even if it is placed in the Premier League, let alone those giants are Newcastle, Sunderland, Aston Villa, and even clubs like Middlesbrough.
They can easily come up with transfer fees worth tens of millions of euros.
"Thank you."
Lendoiro was anxious, so he really wasn't in the mood to talk about anything else. After saying a few words, Lendoiro said directly: "Rister, where are you now? I have something to ask you."
Lister felt Lendoiro's anxious mood, but he still said calmly: "Augusto, I have to go to Liverpool tomorrow. There is Liverpool's Champions League knockout match tomorrow night."
"That's good. I also want to see the big game between Liverpool and Real Madrid. I will go to Liverpool tomorrow too."
"No problem. I will prepare the tickets."
After putting down the phone, Riester couldn't help but whistle. Riester never thought of cheating Deportivo, because Riester regarded Deportivo as a partner for many years to come. But Deportivo couldn't
How could Riester let Deportivo get what he wanted without taking advantage of everything?
…………
Riester was in a good mood, but that didn't mean everyone was in a good mood. After seeing Porto defeat Manchester United 2-1 at the Dragon Stadium, Mendes's face was not as excited as he expected. Although Porto has gone from coach to
The players under his command are basically his, and they performed very well in this game, but Mendes's expression was very solemn.
"Jorge, aren't you happy?"
Mendes' assistant Faria saw that Mendes was not too happy, so he asked Mendes in a low voice. Mendes sighed, shook his head and said: "I was wrong, I was really wrong."
Faria didn't understand what Mendes meant. Faria, like Mendes, was a stable boy for Figel back then. However, Mendes was more skillful and was a high-level stable boy, while Faria was a stable boy.
As an errand boy at the bottom, Mendes promoted Faria to become his assistant after he established his own business.
Faria is the one who really saw Mendes' skills and development. Although Figel and Porto had a falling out, his strength in Portugal is still first-rate. And besides Figel,
Ribeiro and Vega are both powerful agents. At first, Mendes only received the support of Porto, and was completely inferior to them in terms of strength. But Mendes was among so many agents.
He was so good at dancing that he finally kicked out all three of their big agents. Therefore, Faria admired Mendes greatly. Therefore, Faria was very surprised to hear Mendes keep saying that he was wrong.
"I was wrong last summer. When I saw Real Madrid and Barcelona coming over, I hurriedly contacted them. If Jose hadn't stopped me, I would have sent Anderson to Barcelona. Life in a wealthy family is not easy. I was too
I’m anxious.”
Mendes shook his head. When Faria heard what Mendes said, he immediately understood what he meant. Mendes was regretting his transfers in the summer, especially Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid and his transfer to Barcelona.
The Quaresma.
Both of them were among the best talented players in Portuguese football at the time. Unfortunately, their performance after arriving at Real Madrid and Barcelona was unsatisfactory. Cristiano Ronaldo still had a chance to play because of Queiroz, but Quaresma has been directly eliminated by Barcelona.
He was put on the bench. On the contrary, Deco, who stayed in Porto, performed well this season. Porto was outstanding in the Champions League group and this time they defeated Manchester United 2-1 at home.
"I was wrong. It might be better for them if they can train in Portugal for another year or two."
Mendes was very disappointed, not an ordinary disappointment. His attack in the summer of 2003 was too much of a failure for him. After Mendes gained power in Portugal, the next step was of course to leave Portugal. Unfortunately, he was too anxious at the time and was taken by a wealthy family.
His head shook and his eyes were shaken. The first step was such a failure. Both players who entered the wealthy club performed disappointingly, which also affected Mendes' reputation.
But Mendes soon laughed. He is a person who doesn't like failure, but he is also a person who is not afraid of failure. He just sighed when he saw Porto's victory. Since he has failed, now
The most important thing is how to make up for it, instead of just sighing here.
"Have you bought the tickets?"
"kindness."
Tomorrow is the most attractive knockout match of this Champions League. Liverpool faces Real Madrid at home. Many big football bowls include club executives and many agents. Famous stars from their respective clubs will come to watch this game. Reese
Special attention, Mendes is also paying attention.
Real Madrid's head coach Queiroz is a coach under Mendes, and Cristiano Ronaldo is a player under Mendes. Therefore, Mendes will also pay attention to that game.
"By the way, I'm going to London after the game tomorrow. You can arrange a better place for me in London. I want to entertain important guests."
ps: Today’s update. I feel like this is the worst cold I’ve had since I started college. I took four consecutive injections and it didn’t help.
