The second game of the Champions League quarter-finals has just begun, and people are already shocked. Milan, who was originally certain, unexpectedly stumbled and was beaten 4-0 by Deportivo La Coruna in the away game. The biggest event in the Champions League knockout rounds this season occurred.
A comeback.
Ancelotti has once again become the laughing stock of European football. Although Ancelotti is a very famous coach among the younger generation, he would not have such a high reputation if it were not for the fame he accumulated as a player.
When Ancelotti was at Juventus, he was known as the "second player of the millennium". He always failed at critical moments and failed to win the championship several times.
Although he won a Champions League championship in Milan and restored his image in time, this disastrous defeat once again cast a shadow on his coaching career. After all, it is simply too shameful to ask someone to accomplish such a feat.
Big comeback.
However, Milan became the laughing stock, and Ancelotti became the laughing stock, but Deportivo, which also regarded Milan and Ancelotti as the background, has greatly increased its reputation. This is especially true for Riester, Milan, and Ancelotti
Ti and Lister have nothing to do with each other.
"Sandro, what's my recommendation?"
Before the Barcelona general election in 2003, Lister had recommended many players to Rosell. One of the most ceremoniously recommended players was Deportivo Villa. Lister said at the time that compared to
For Kluivert and Saviola, Villa was more suitable for Barcelona. At that time, Villa was just a fish that had just come from the Spanish second division to the first division. Russell still had some doubts. But now
No one questions Villa now.
"Lister, you are amazing."
Russell admired List from the bottom of his heart. He knew that List was great before, otherwise it would not have been possible to recruit so many good players. But through Villa, Russell knew the power of List even more. The name Villa
The player was already twenty years old at the time and was still playing in the Spanish Second Division. Although he scored not too many goals, not many La Liga clubs paid attention to him.
Among players of the same age as him, or even two or three years younger than him, there are many players who are more famous than him. Among the youth teams of those powerful teams in La Liga, there are countless well-known forwards. Many of the second teams of those powerful La Liga teams are
They are playing in the Spanish Second Division or the Spanish Third Division. Because they come from different backgrounds, they are more likely to receive media attention.
On the contrary, players like Villa who have no background will be ignored by everyone. But one person discovered it, that is Liszt. Liszt took a fancy to Villa, who was still in the Spanish second division, and then gave him
He invested. Without List's insight into heroes, Villa would definitely not be able to show its talents in the Champions League.
"Sandro, I have many shortcomings, and I have done many shady things. But one thing I can say with confidence is that I will never harm my allies, and I will do my best to anyone who cooperates with me.
Try my best. Any player I introduce to my allies will not violate my conscience."
Riester is very confident about this. Of course, Riester does not dare to say that he has no stain at all. When he first cooperated with Deportivo La Coruña, he did not stop Lendoiro's growing ambitions. On the contrary, he encouraged him.
Including Dortmund at the time, Liszt knew clearly that they would fail if this continued, but he did not stop it. Even Liszt looked forward to the blind expansion of Deportivo La Coruña and Dortmund, and wished that they would be on the verge of bankruptcy.
But although Lister did not stop Deportivo La Coruña and Dortmund in this regard, Lister could pat his chest and ensure that when introducing players to them, he would introduce the best players. He did not introduce them to any crooked things.
On the other hand, Lister believed that what he did was without any stain.
"Rister, we are allies."
"certainly."
"Hahaha. Riester, it's already April now, let's talk about Villa."
Russell invited Riester today just to deal with Villa. Barcelona's current performance is okay, but it is far from the Barcelona that Russell wants. Rijkaard does not like Kluivert and Savio very much.
pull.
Kluivert's matter is best handled. Although Laporta admires Cruyff very much, the pace of cleaning up Dutch players is getting bigger and bigger. A large number of Dutch players have been dealt with in 2003. Now there are still Kluivert.
Ruivert, Overmars, Cocu and others just failed to deal with it in time at the beginning, but they will definitely deal with it this summer.
The biggest problem is Saviola. Saviola's salary is too high, so he is stuck there now. And not only is the salary high, he also signed a five-year contract. Many teams want to buy him
They went to Saviola. But Saviola's high salary put them off. Laporta wanted to reduce Saviola's salary, but Saviola didn't agree, so there was no way.
Saviola's agent is a loser. No matter how much Barcelona doesn't like him, he won't agree to a salary cut. This leaves Barcelona's top management helpless. Therefore, Russell is planning to introduce a striker and then bring Saviola
Completely on the bench. Then we will see if Saviola can continue to hold on like this.
"Sandro, this thing is simple. Look at David's goal rate. David is currently the best striker in La Liga."
This season is not only a dark horse season in European football, but also many dark horse forwards have quickly become famous this season. Let’s not talk about other venues, let’s talk about La Liga. Villarreal, Alfran, who just came to La Liga,
Milito from Stremadura, Eto'o from Mallorca, and Villa from Deportivo. Among these players, Eto'o had some fame before. For example, Forlán was kicked out of Manchester United, and Milito
He has just become a little famous in Argentinian football, but he is still disliked by Roma. Villa is also a player who has only been in La Liga for half a year.
But at present, they are all scoring a lot of goals in La Liga, ranking at the top of the scorer list, beating famous forwards such as Ronaldo, Raul, Kluivert, and Saviola.
"That's right."
Russell did not refute. Villa's strength this season is not only scoring more goals in La Liga, but also scoring a lot in the Champions League. So far, Villa has scored more than 20 goals in La Liga and scored in the Champions League.
Reaching seven, if he ends the season with 30 goals, it shouldn't be a problem. He can be said to be the most powerful striker in Europe this season.
Although Russell did not refute, he did not confirm it either. Because Russell knew that as long as he followed Lister's words and praised Villa, Lister would immediately raise Villa's price too high. After all, Villa is now
He is only twenty-two years old, which is still very young.
However, Lister would not let Russell get his wish, and said with a smile: "Sandro, judging from the performance this season, David and Atletico Madrid's Fernando are the same level of stars. Even David's performance this season is better than
Fernando.”
Russell couldn't help but take a breath after listening to Lister. Who in La Liga didn't know that Lister negotiated a sky-high contract for Torres. This contract is the most amazing contract under the age of 20 in European football. Even Torres's contract can
Compared with the contracts of Real Madrid's superstars, it caused a sensation in the entire European football world when it was signed. Let's just say that according to Torres's contract next season, Torres' annual salary next season will reach 5.7 million euros.
Now Riester was comparing Villa to Torres, and he obviously wanted to negotiate a sky-high contract for Villa. Russell quickly thought of one person, and that was Saviola, who was now in his hands.
He won the Golden Boot and Golden Ball at the World Youth Championship that year and was hailed as the "Successor of Maradona" by the world media. His momentum far exceeded that of Villa now.
It was precisely because of this that Gaspart eagerly signed a high salary and five-year contract with Saviola. But now it was in his hands. Russell did not dare to take such a risk.
So he rolled his eyes and laughed. He looked at Lister and said: "Lister, you should know the current situation of our club. We will not sign a contract like the original one."
List nodded. List was involved in Barcelona's player transfers and salary negotiations. Until now, List is still earning a salary at Barcelona. Although List doesn't like that salary, it's all because of List's involvement in Barcelona.
The transfer negotiations are related to the salary negotiations. Riester is very clear about the current Barcelona salary system.
Since the pair of Laporta and Rosell took charge of Barcelona, Barcelona's player contracts have been based on a fixed salary plus bonus model. The fixed salary is very low compared with not only the giants, but also many strong teams.
. Just like Ronaldinho, the best player in Barcelona, his current fixed salary is less than 3 million euros.
But Barcelona's bonuses are very high. Goal bonuses, assist bonuses, winning bonuses, and championship bonuses are all very high. They are three or four times that of many powerful teams, and can even be as high as five or six times that of others. Rapo
Erta and Russell believe that only this model can motivate players and prevent them from slacking off. When this series was originally designed, Lister was also involved, so Lister knows it better than anyone else.
"Sandro, I respect Barcelona's current salary system and model. After all, this system and model also include my sweat. In this case, I will not ask for too much conditions. According to Barcelona's salary system, I want to be the first
The salary requirement is not high. After all, David is the best striker this season and should be able to win the top scorer in La Liga. I think even if David does not get the same salary as Ronaldinho,
It should be at the same salary level as him."
Russell couldn't help but smile bitterly, looked at Riester and shook his head. In fact, Villa has performed very well since the beginning of this season, so Russell wanted to talk about Villa's problems in the winter. But at that time he
Before they could talk, of course, Riester always avoided him. At that time, Ronaldinho's brother began to come in and out of his office frequently. His request was very simple, which was to help Ronaldinho improve his life.
a contract.
Rosell just thought it was a personal matter for Ronaldinho. After all, Ronaldinho performed very well in Barcelona. His brilliant passing and passing were recognized by all Barcelona members. Therefore,
After arguing with Ronaldinho's brother Assis for several months, Ronaldinho's new contract was finalized.
Now looking back at Assis's actions, Russell completely understood. Assis was instigated and supported by Lister in front of him. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? After these things are connected,
Russell figured it all out at once. Riester avoided him, then put pressure on Lendoiro, and finally made Lendoiro spit out a lot of benefits when he signed a new contract.
Then he turned around and encouraged Ronaldinho to increase his salary. After Ronaldinho's salary was negotiated, Riester came to negotiate with him, and then wanted to follow
Ronaldinho's new contract gives Villa a satisfactory contract. Russell doesn't even know what to say.
Riester really got all the benefits. He shared the benefits from Deportivo, and then in order to increase Villa's salary, he first tried Ronaldinho.
When I think of Russell, I think of Ronaldinho's brother, that idiot with his nostrils in the sky. Russell is funny when he thinks about it. He really thought he was very powerful, but he was just put in front to block the bullet by Riester.
.Thinking of this, Russell looked at List with a little more fear.
"Okay, Lister."
If it were another agent, Russell would not necessarily give in. But the relationship between List and Barcelona was special, and the relationship between List and himself was also unusual, so Russell finally nodded.
"Rister, we will pay according to the first level of the club's salary."
"Sandro, actually I like the high bonus model. As long as David can keep scoring goals and Barcelona can keep winning, then the money will be endless."
In fact, the so-called first salary bracket means that the bonuses are higher. The fixed salaries of the absolute main players in Barcelona are similar, and the difference is not very big. The big difference between them is the bonus model, and Ronaldinho's bonus is very high.
, while other players’ bonuses are average. This is the difference in everyone’s salary.
"I hope so."
Under this model, if Villa scores fewer goals, then his salary will be less. It depends on Villa's own performance. Riester has absolute confidence in Villa. In Villa's career
The goal rate has never been low, even when Atletico Madrid got older, the goal rate was not low. So as long as he continues to score goals, his salary will not be low.
"Rister, let's talk about the details of his contract directly."
