There are no secrets in the world, and there are no secrets that cannot penetrate the wall. What's more, the news that List wants to reveal will spread faster. List has been an agent for so many years, and he is already comfortable with this method.
And they were able to do it without leaking, making people slowly accept this matter. Soon the news that Chelsea was interested in Benitez spread everywhere, and all newspapers were talking about this issue.
Not many people doubt this news, because now Chelsea is poaching people everywhere. It has been less than a year since Abramovich came to Chelsea, and even Peter Kenyon, CEO of Manchester United, has been poached by Chelsea, not to mention
It is to poach Liverpool's head coach. And an upstart like Chelsea wants to attract everyone's attention and quickly increase Chelsea's influence. This method is the best. Although this method is easy to attract many enemies, but with the above
Abramovich, who has tens of billions of assets, wants to rise quickly, and those enemies simply don't pay attention to him.
Liverpool are not satisfied. In fact, Benitez has been in charge of Liverpool for two seasons, and his results are not very outstanding. They are much lower than the original expectations. The most satisfactory thing about Benitez is his performance in the strong dialogue.
Excellent. Therefore, Liverpool is a little anxious. Liverpool has not thought about terminating the contract with Benitez, but it has not thought about signing a new contract with Benitez. It all depends on the results of this season. But now Liverpool begins
They were anxious. Of course, Liverpool FC was mainly worried about losing face.
The richer the club, the more they care about face and these things. Although Peter Kenyon has made a great contribution to Manchester United, his departure will not actually make Manchester United at a loss. But why is Manchester United's reaction so big, causing Kenyon to
He couldn't really become Chelsea's CEO for several months. He waited until Manchester United's anger subsided. Kenyon became Chelsea's CEO. And there is Mikel in history. Manchester United did not hesitate to file a lawsuit with Chelsea, but in the end it was Chelsea.
It took more than 10 million pounds to settle Mikel's transfer matter.
All in all, it's because of the pride of the giants. As the number one club in the Premier League, how could Manchester United allow an upstart like Chelsea to steal people from Manchester United again and again. That's why Manchester United reacted so strongly.
The same is true for Liverpool. Manchester United is a Premier League giant, then Liverpool is the number one football club in England. As a wealthy club that is currently in decline, Liverpool cares more about its own face and its reputation. If an upstart like Chelsea takes away the
It would be a real loss of face for the head coach. Therefore, the top management of Liverpool immediately contacted List, hoping to discuss Benitez's contract extension.
Especially on March 11, 2004, after Liverpool returned to the Bernabeu and defeated Real Madrid 2-1 again, Benitez's market price became even higher. Although Real Madrid performed poorly in the Champions League this season, Real Madrid is the European champion after all.
The biggest club in football. In fact, from 1996 to 2002, Real Madrid and Bayern were the two best performing clubs in European football. Even after 2002, Real Madrid was still strong in European football. Such Real Madrid was directly beaten by Liverpool.
After two rounds, Real Madrid scored five goals against Liverpool. In this battle, Benitez's reputation was once again promoted.
"Lister, coach Benitez is doing well recently."
Liverpool is anxious. List is not anxious. After watching Liverpool's game in Madrid, Lister did not meet with the top management of Liverpool. Because in the subsequent draw, Liverpool was very lucky and ran into Lokomotiv Moscow. After this draw, everyone
I believe there will be no problem for Liverpool to advance to the semi-finals. Therefore, Lister is waiting for this matter to continue to be speculated. Then he will strive for a better contract based on Benitez's performance in the Champions League. So he just told the top management of Liverpool that Benitez
Tes did not decide to meet with another agent for dinner after going to Chelsea.
"It's fried."
The person who met Riester was Raiola. Riester and Raiola have known each other for many years. If you count, it has been nine years. Raiola is only one year older than Riester, and he is the same as Riester.
He is a young agent in his thirties. Raiola has an extraordinary relationship with Czech coach Zeman. However, there has not been much contact between List and Raiola over the years, and there should not be much cooperation.
Raiola's business is mainly concentrated in Serie A. Many Eredivisie players have transferred to Serie A, and Raiola's contribution is very great. At present, Raiola is not very famous. In Serie A
Little Moggi and the others are all over the place. Together with Mascardi, Hidalgo and other South American agent giants, and agents like Carriendo who have a good relationship with South American football, they form the Italian football agent. But Raiola is not the only one.
Although he is not well-known, he is a truly capable person and does things in a low-key manner, so for now he is just not well-known. One of the main reasons is that Raiola is very low-key and does not even have a high profile with his peers.
There are many contacts. And Riester has always stayed away from Serie A, so Riester and Raiola are basically on the same page.
Moreover, both of them have developed their power in the Netherlands, and there has never been any conflict or cooperation. Riester is mainly based on PSV and has developed in the Netherlands for many years. On the contrary, Raiola is based around Ajak.
He has a very good relationship with the top management of Ajax, and many of his players are Ajax players. Just like Ibramovich and Maxwell now. Ajax
In addition to Sri Lanka's own youth training players, the players imported from Eastern European countries are basically managed by Raiola.
Of course, the relationship between PSV and Ajax is very bad, and there is never any exchange of players with each other. The top management of each other rarely greet each other harmoniously. But these are like Lister and Raiola.
There is no relationship between the two parties. The relationship between the two parties is not good within the Dutch football world, but nothing will happen outside the Dutch football world.
"Mino, why do you have time to go to Madrid? You don't want to watch the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid, do you?"
"I came here specifically to find you."
Raiola and Riester have known each other for a long time, and they have Zeman as a factor. Although they don't usually have close contact with each other, they are still relatively casual.
"Looking for me?"
Riester shrugged. He didn't quite understand what Raiola meant. The two agents have different styles, different ways of doing things, and it can even be said that they have different interests. Raiola chose the current Stret
Telford's path is to use one or two superstar players to increase his own value. This is the path taken by many traditional agents, including Zidane and Ronaldo's agents now. It's just Zidane.
Inside, Ronaldo and his agents keep a low profile, and the future Raiola will only have a bad reputation.
Lister is different from traditional agents. Lister is following a different model. Not many can afford to play this model, and few dare to play it. Therefore, Lister does not understand Rai.
What does Aola mean by looking for herself?
"Well, I need your help with something."
"Please tell me."
Riester nodded. Although his relationship with Raiola is not too close, Riester will still help if he can help. Riester, an agent like Raiola, is willing to make friends and play Riester with the club.
I can't even catch up with Raiola. Maybe there will be a chance to cooperate with Raiola in the future.
"Ajax's Ibrahimovic."
"Ibramovich?"
Lister paused for a moment and began to understand what Raiola meant. Ibramovich is Ajax's main center and his performance is quite outstanding. Of course, the main reason is Ibramovich.
His skills are very good, and his playing is very entertaining. From a fatal perspective, he is not as powerful as Drogba of Eindhoven.
Raiola was looking for him because of the matter with Ibramovich. Riester could probably guess what Raiola meant. Many fans know that Ibramovich left Ajax because of his relationship with Van der Vaart.
Conflict. Especially Ibramovich's injury to Van der Vaart was the trigger of their conflict. But this is just the fans' opinion.
Agents like List, who are very powerful in Dutch football, have long known that Ibramovich's departure from Ajax is inevitable. Raiola will not let Ibramovich stay at Ajax.
The conflict between him and the Ajax youth players did not suddenly appear in the summer. In fact, the conflict between them already existed, but it was not made public. Ajax youths like Van der Vaart
The geniuses in the training camp are all high-minded, and all of them want to revive Ajax. For example, Van der Vaart is a player known as the "New Cruyff". How can he not be proud.
And Ibramovich is a fearless player with his nose in the sky. Wenger took a fancy to him and wanted him to come over for a trial training. Ibramovich thought it was an insult to him. You can imagine how much he felt.
He was very confident, even a little complacent and arrogant. He couldn't stand Van der Vaart's privileges in Ajax, so the relationship between them turned out to be very bad. Historically, hurting Van der Vaart was just a general outbreak of conflicts.
"What do you want me to help you with?"
"Rister. I have recently started to contact Juventus. I will not hide it from you, it is not going well. Juventus already has Trezeguet. There is Del Piero, and Ajax's price is high. Mo
Ji had some hesitation."
"Well? Then you let Ibramovich go to Juventus? Aren't you afraid of him playing as a substitute there?"
Riester asked with a smile. At present, Juventus's forward line is not short of talents. Riester doesn't know what confidence Raiola has to let Ibramović go to Juventus.
"Lister, we as agents sometimes have to dare to make decisions. I fully believe in Zlatan, he will definitely be able to gain a foothold at Juventus."
Looking at the confident Raiola, Larist smiled. Raiola is a powerful person, and people think of him more as a vampire. Many wealthy families don't like him. This also hides his outstanding vision.
He was decisive. There were so many strong men in Juventus, but he still brought Ibramovich to Juventus. Later, this move was really a miracle, and Ibramovich became the best player in Serie A.
And later Pogba. Some people may think that Raiola brought Pogba to Juventus because Juventus gave him more money, but this was also a gamble by Raiola, which ultimately achieved great success.
In just two or three years, Pogba became the main midfielder of Juventus and became one of the best midfielders in European football. In this regard, Raiola is definitely one of the best in European football.
"Mino, I won't hide it from you. My relationship with Juventus is not as good as I thought. Although Pavel is in the middle, I have no relationship with Moggi."
"I know."
As the most powerful agent in European football, everyone knows that Riester has little to do with Italian football. Many insiders believe that it is mainly because the Italian economy is getting worse and worse, and the income of Italian football is increasing.
The reason for the lower price. They believe that there are fewer and fewer big-money transfers in Italian football, which is also the reason why Riester does not enter Italian football.
"Then you still come to me."
"Lister, I know you don't have much relationship with Juventus. But Nedved has a good relationship with the top management of Juventus. Lister, I hope Nedved can help."
Lister did not answer immediately. Indeed, as Raiola said, Lister and Juventus have a working relationship. For Lister, Nedved is more interested in developing his commercial value than in
Some off-field issues. Because at Juventus, Nedved does not need Riester to take care of him personally.
On the contrary, Nedved himself has a very good relationship with the senior management of Juventus, especially with Agnelli Jr. Even Nedved’s home is next to Agnelli Jr.’s house. The two are neighbors and have a close personal relationship.
good.
Historically, Nedvěd and Raiola had a very good relationship, and Nedvěd's transfer to Juventus was actually managed by Raiola. Therefore, it was very difficult for Ibramovich to transfer to Juventus.
He asked Nedved to help convince Agnelli Ibramovich to transfer to Juventus. Nedved made a great contribution.
But things are different now. The relationship between Raiola and Nedvěd is average. The main reason is that Raiola is unwilling to contact Nedvěd, which makes Riester, a big agent, misunderstand him. After all, Nedvěd is Riester now.
The number one ace player, if anyone dares to contact Nedvěd, he will definitely offend Riester. So Raiola first went to Riester.
"You want Pavel to help you with your case."
"kindness."
Raiola is here for this. Ibramovich is almost 23 years old, and Raiola is not willing to let him continue to waste time in the Eredivisie. Raiola made some comments about the Serie A
Analysis, Juventus is the most suitable for Ibramovich.
List nodded slowly. If Ibramovich was a weak player, then List would certainly not recommend it. But List knew that Ibramovich would soon become Juventus' absolute star.
Main force. This is a good thing, and Raiola is knowledgeable. If List helps, he will never take the benefits that should be given to him.
"Mino, I will give it a try. But I can't guarantee whether it will succeed."
"Lister, there's nothing you can't do. I thank you in advance."
