List is just an agent, and he actually doesn't want to get involved in matters like the UEFA presidential election. But List has no other way. In this world, money and power are always tied together. At the point where List is now, he has already
It has reached the point where it can attract the attention of the UEFA bosses and FIFA bosses. Even if Lister is unwilling to deal with them, things will come to him.
Just in February this year, UEFA CEO Olsen, who is also the top general of UEFA Chairman Johansson and also a Swede, held a conference. The purpose was very simple, which was how to limit the growing strength of UEFA.
A group of agents became bigger and more powerful. Although List ignored them, this incident caused an uproar among the agents.
Johansson is a chairman who likes to promote talents. But the objects of his respect are those stars, and he likes those stars. But Johansson likes that it does not include the agent group. Because the power of agents is getting bigger and bigger, sometimes even
UEFA has nothing to do with them. Therefore, Johansson does not like agents. He is the chairman who advocates strict control of the agent industry.
However, although Olson just wanted to take action, these agents have not caused trouble yet and have been pushed back by the national football associations. Agents are not popular, but the national football associations do not want this kind of thing to affect their leagues.
The Boseman Act has already enriched these brokers, and now it is too late to attack them.
If the national football federations did not push back at that time, then List would be in the limelight as the number one agent in European football. Even if List wanted to avoid it, he would not be able to avoid it because UEFA would not let him.
Lister avoids it, and the agents in European football will not let Lister avoid it. Therefore, Lister understands that as the power of agents becomes more and more powerful, Lister, the number one agent in European football, will sooner or later have to compete with Lister.
We have to deal with official organizations such as Football Federation and FIFA. Since we have to deal with them, it is better to be proactive than passive.
"Rister, but Coach Fernandez's side..."
Of course Ribery prefers Lyon in his heart. After all, Lyon's salary is higher and the stage is bigger, but he feels sorry for coach Fernandez. He was an unknown when he joined Metz. After three years in Metz, Ribery gradually
He has grown into a talented player in Ligue 1. Coach Fernandez has made a huge contribution. Therefore, Ribery thanks Jean Fernandez from the bottom of his heart.
But Marseille is really not as good as Lyon. Especially after Riester's persuasion, Ribery was already ready to choose Lyon. But he always felt sorry for Fernandez. Because Fernandez had talked with Ribery before leaving Metz.
, I hope Ribery can follow him to Marseille.
"Don't worry, Frank Marseille and coach Fernandez will give him compensation."
Although Riester currently does not have a talented player as outstanding as Franck Ribery, there are many powerful offensive players. Aruna Kone, who currently plays for Roda JC Club in the Eredivisie, last season's Eredivisie
He scored fifteen goals in the Eredivisie. Although the development of the Cone brothers is not as good as that of the Toure brothers, they have already become famous in the Eredivisie. The younger Cone is famous in the Eredivisie, but he is only 21 years old.
That's all.
Just like the current Koné, he has already attracted the attention of many Dutch giants and strong European teams. The closest to Koné is PSV, but with Messi, Afellay, France and France this season,
Young players like Irfan performed better and better, and Hiddink slowly gave up paying attention to Koné.
In addition to Koné, Riester also has a top Ivorian player. Kalou is currently playing for Feyenoord, one of the three giants in the Eredivisie. Kalou is only 20 years old. He scored two goals in the Eredivisie last season.
With ten goals, he is the top scorer in the Eredivisie. Both of them are currently worth around 10 million euros.
Although both Koné and Kalou are not as famous as Ribery, they are both higher than Ribery in terms of current reputation. Now Marseille is willing to spend money in the transfer market in order to re-emerge, and it is just right to introduce these two to them.
personal.
In addition to the two of them, Riester also has young talents who have not yet become famous. Gervinho, who is currently playing in the Belgian league, is already 18 years old. Gervinho's passing ability is comparable to Messi. Of course
He is far inferior to Messi in terms of passing and shooting. But just for his breakthrough ability, there are few people in his age group who can match him.
Ribery went to Lyon, and Rist was a little embarrassed. After all, coach Fernandez made great contributions to Ribery, and many young players who Ribery stayed with at Messi were very grateful to coach Fernandez. Therefore, Rist was willing to compensate Fernandez.
Coach, introduce him to some young talents.
"Then I'll go to Lyon."
Ribery nodded. Lyon, the current hegemon of Ligue 1, has performed very well even in the Champions League. Being able to go to Lyon is a huge breakthrough for Ribery's career.
"Yeah, but you have to remember. Don't talk nonsense to anyone outside. When facing reporters, you highly praise Coach Fernandez for training you. If you ask about Lyon, you say Lyon is the dream place for all French players. Anyway,
Show ambiguity, but never indicate where you are going."
Ribery is a country bumpkin. The place where he grew up is a small northern place that is despised by the mainstream environment in France. Although he played in Metz for a few years and also played in Ligue 1 for two years, he is still a country bumpkin. But as he
After moving to Lyon, he will soon become a leader of the younger generation of French football. He must learn how to deal with the media.
As for the transfer, it should be settled by the agent. He does not need to express it directly. Because the more ambiguous the player is, the more room List has to operate. And the player must be ambiguous. If the performance is too direct, it will cause damage.
his image.
"I see."
Ribery is not an idiot. Lister understood what he meant as soon as he said it.
"Then you just wait for my good news. You will be able to perform on a stage like the Champions League next season."
…………
"Lister, do you know? The old coaches hate your agents."
After Jean Fernandez heard what List said, he already understood that Ribery could not go to Marseille. In fact, before going to Marseille, List met again with Lyon chairman Aulas.
With Riester's guarantee, Aulas acted quickly. He contacted the Metz club, and the Metz club couldn't stop Lyon from poaching. Of course, Ribery has performed well in Metz in the past two seasons, so
The transfer fee was not low. In the end, Lyon poached Ribery from Metz for 7 million euros.
There is also Ribéry’s salary. Lester also initialed a contract with Lyon. Ribery could only get an annual salary of 200,000 euros in Metz, but after arriving at Lyon, he would immediately get a super annual salary of 1.1 million euros.
Because Riester chose Lyon between Lyon and Marseille, the stingy Aulas also paid Riester a commission of 830,000 euros.
Of course, these are just preliminary agreements. The specific agreement has not yet been completed. But since it is almost done, List will meet with coach Fernandez. He has great respect for this old coach List.
"Coach Fernandez, you like Frank because he is your disciple. I also like Frank because he is my cash cow. I am more nervous about his future than you are."
There is no hiding anything about Jean Fernandez List. Ribery will be hailed as the "Successor of Zidane" in France in the future, the core of the French national team in the "post-Zidane" and "post-Henry" era, and the
France's number one superstar after the golden generation. At his peak, he was a superstar who could be compared with Messi, Ronaldo, Kaká and others. The direct and indirect income he can bring to Rist will be
More than 10 million euros. How could a player like Lister not be nervous?
"Coach Fernandez, if it's you, you can think about it. Which one will you choose between Marseille and Lyon? Lyon can play in the Champions League next season, and is the current hegemon of Ligue 1. But Marseille is just a down-and-out giant, and no one knows when it will rise again.
I know. And joining Lyon will have more benefits for Frank to gain a foothold in the national team."
Jean Fernandez sighed. He always thought that due to the master-disciple relationship between him and Ribery, Ribery would not be able to escape from the palm of his hand. He already wanted to make Ribery the core of Marseille.
Berry is the most talented player Fernandez has trained since Zidane. Unfortunately, he has been snatched away by Lyon.
"Liester, don't you think Lyon is more competitive and more adventurous?"
"Coach Fernandez, you should know better than me how good Frank is. I don't believe there are players in Lyon who can let Frank sit on the bench."
Riester is very confident in Ribery. Now the 22-year-old Ribery has enough strength, but he has lacked a platform to express himself before. When it comes to Lyon and Juninho, Benzema, Weir
If players like Todd play together, they will definitely make a name for themselves in the Champions League.
No one in the current Lyon club can stop Ribery's rise. Ribery is only as strong as he has no results. Ben Arfa, Wiltord and others are no match for Ribery.
"Okay. That's it Frank. Lister, how about giving me Santiago?"
The first thing Fernandez wanted was Ribery, but Ribery failed, so he immediately thought of Cazorla. Cazorla was also Fernandez's favorite disciple in Metz. Although Cazorla is not as fast as Ribery
, but he is better than Ribery in terms of personal skills. And Cazorla is young, only nineteen years old this year.
"Sorry, Santiago is no longer available. Villarreal has decided to take him back."
Although Cazorla was sold to Metz, there was a buy-back clause at the time. In the end, Villarreal paid three million euros to recover Cazorla. When Metz bought Cazorla, it was
Two hundred thousand euros. Two years later it will be three million euros.
The main reason is that Villarreal sold Hleb and Arshavin, and they sold them at high prices. Therefore, Villarreal sold two gems from its youth training camp, David Schier.
Both Wa and Cazorla took it back.
"What about Lars?"
Fernandez was really helpless. All the players he wanted were already in the market. He immediately thought that he had a disciple in Metz. Although he had a bad temper, he was very capable, Lass Diarra.
"I am going to let him go to the Eredivisie and PSV. I have given coach Hiddink information some time ago and he is very interested."
"Then why did you come to see me?"
Even Fernandez, who has a good temper, was angry. He spent two years cultivating several talented players in Metz. After he fell to Marseille, he couldn't take any of them away. In fact, what coach Fernandez didn't know was that
Metz was able to attract players because of coach Fernandez. Now that he is gone, Metz is falling apart.
"Frank has a knot in his stomach."
Although he didn't say it clearly, Fernandez also understood what List meant. Ribery really wanted to follow his mentor, but List, the agent, disagreed. The agent has a bad reputation. List was not afraid of people misunderstanding.
But Riester cannot allow Ribery to develop a reputation as ungrateful.
"I can't let him go to Lyon under pressure. So I want to make up for it. Coach Fernandez, I know you Marseille have money now. How about I introduce two players to you? They are both players from Ivory Coast. One is very young, only eighteen.
Years old. Currently playing in the Belgian First Division, called
Gervaise Yao Kouassi. We usually call him Gervinho. This is his information."
Ninety percent of the players in the Côte d'Ivoire national team come from Mimosa Club, and ninety percent of the players in this club come from Marc Koulou's football school. Riester cooperates with this school.
He has connections, and even Rist has invested in this school. Therefore, all the top Ivorian players from this club are under Rist's control. Gervinho is no exception.
"Let me introduce you to another one. That is Aruna Kone, who plays in the Eredivisie. He scored fifteen Eredivisie goals last season. He is a very famous talented player in the Eredivisie. If you like them
, I can do it for you anytime, anywhere."
Lister did not introduce Kalou. Because of Kalou's outstanding performance last season, he is currently considering becoming a Dutch citizen. Lister talked to him about going to Ligue 1, but Kalou had no interest. He wanted to stay in the Netherlands.
A, and then strive to obtain Dutch citizenship.
Fernandez is a well-known and well-connected figure in Ligue 1 football. Riester does not want any conflict with him, but hopes to maintain a long-term friendship with him. That is why he will compensate him.
