Lister is a rather nostalgic person. Lister has been cooperating with Puma and Nike over the years. Because Puma was the first to cooperate with Lister, so after Lister developed, he did not think about abandoning Puma and then cooperate with Nike and Adidas.
Hook up. Currently, all the players from the Czech Republic, including List, cooperate with Puma.
Many players in the Czech league, Liester will cooperate with Puma as long as Puma is interested. Of course, Puma has also developed very rapidly in recent years. With the Czech national team winning the World Cup and European Cup in succession, Puma has become a world sports star.
The fastest growing company among brands. It has truly become the third largest brand in the world, only behind Nike and Adidas. Even during analysis, many people believe that if Puma maintains its current development, Puma will even be able to do so in a few years.
Keeping pace with Nike and Adidas, we can see how rapidly Puma has developed in recent years.
The other thing is Nike. List has also been cooperating with Nike for a long time, and several giant clubs that are related to List are also partners of Nike. Including Barcelona, PSV, and Manchester United are all sponsored by Nike. Therefore, List
Many talented players in China have cooperated with Nike. Including Messi and Franck Ribery, whom List admires most, they all cooperate with Nike.
But Nike is too stingy. That's all List can say. With Messi's current market situation, List wants to increase some sponsorship fees, which is very normal. Nike currently sponsors Messi for 260,000 euros every year. After paying
After taxes, Messi can only get about 200,000 euros per year. It is completely inconsistent with Messi's current status.
List hopes that Nike will increase Messi's sponsorship fee, which should at least exceed one million euros. When Nedved and Boboski left the Czech Republic, Puma gave them hundreds of thousands of euros in sponsorship fees, which was a lot.
But things are different now. Nowadays, it is normal for many top players to receive several million euros in sponsorship fees. A superstar like Zidane receives nearly 9 million euros in sponsorship fees from Adidas every year, which is much higher than his salary at Real Madrid.
.
But Nike was too stingy and was only willing to give Messi 600,000 euros a year. This made List furious, as 600,000 euros was considered money. It belonged to his grandmother. Nike really thought it was the boss, and Lister was begging for help.
He can't. Nike is still not as good as Adidas in football, but it has always regarded itself as the world's number one sports brand. It has a sense of superiority, and it is not as expert in football as Adidas. Anyway, Lister is really angry, Nike is really
It's too much.
An agent like List is not comparable to a giant like Nike, which has sales of more than 10 billion and total assets of more than 10 billion. But List is one of the top agents in the world and has many good players.
It is the best in world football. Nike was so disrespectful, which made List furious. He immediately terminated negotiations with Nike.
The negotiations between List and Nike were not going very smoothly, so Adidas came over. Adidas has also been paying attention to Messi. After all, Adidas is a sponsor of Argentina, and all the talents from Argentina are under their attention.
Aubrey Dolan, this is the senior product manager of the football department of Adidas. He came to find List. It was for Messi. In terms of football, Adidas is stronger than Nike after all. But List did not completely give up on Nike. After all,
Lister has been cooperating with Nike for many years, and of course he hopes to continue the cooperation if possible. So he met with the people from Adidas in public to let Nike take a look, so as to force them to make concessions. This is the last game of the World Youth Championship.
, which is the venue for the World Youth Championship finals.
"Zabaleta. Cross!"
"Messi, stop the ball. Messi breaks through and Taivo makes a tackle! Penalty kick, this is a penalty kick."
When Argentina attacked, they relied on Gago's dispatch, Zabaleta's breakthrough on the wing, and Messi's personal ability in the frontcourt. This time too, Gago passed the ball to the right, and Zabaleta passed the ball to the right.
Ta dribbled the ball through and then made a cross.
Messi is short and cannot head the ball in front of the Nigerian defender. So Zabaleta's cross was not intended for Messi to head the ball. Instead, it was passed outside the penalty area. Messi stopped the ball beautifully and then turned around.
Just break through into the penalty area. Messi's breakthrough is the sharpest. In addition, Nigeria is an African country, and their players' tactical discipline is inherently poor. Moreover, this is the National Youth Team, so the Nigeria National Youth Team has many defensive problems.
.
Taiwo is Nigeria's left back, the best left back in this World Youth Championship. Messi came from the left to the center, and the breakthrough from the center was from Taiwo's side. Taiwo is very strong
, but Messi, a player who has played in the Champions League, is stronger. It has passed in a few steps. After all, the 20-year-old Taiwo is young and has not become the main force in Marseille. His experience is much worse. He made a tackle in a hurry.
The ball directly knocked Messi down.
"Penalty kick. Penalty kick. Taiwo was too anxious, but it was also because Messi's breakthrough was too sharp."
"Messi stood in front of the ball. It looked like Messi was taking the penalty kick."
"Messi! Messi! Messi! We saw Messi score again. Messi created a penalty himself and scored the penalty himself. One to zero, one to zero. Messi scored
The goal that broke the deadlock.”
"This is the sixth goal that Messi has scored in this World Youth Championship. Messi is in such a hot state that no one can stop Messi. Nigeria surpassed Argentina in possession of the ball, but it still failed in the fatal blow.
Not as good as Argentina. If Nigeria had a player like Messi, Nigeria would have led Argentina 3-0. This is the role of Messi."
"The newspapers said that Messi is the successor of Maradona, and that Messi is a genius that Argentina has only seen in 50 years. I have to say that these are not excessive praises. Messi is indeed the top player in this World Youth Championship.
genius."
The commentator praised Messi wildly. However, Messi is indeed very good, not ordinary. Nigeria has the advantage in this game, and Nigeria's core Mikel performed too well.
Gago's performance in this World Youth Championship was very good, and he truly has the demeanor of a general. But compared with today's Nigeria's core midfielder Mikel, he is much inferior. Mikel has good skills and good passing. And
He is even taller and bigger. Argentinian players cannot match him physically, that is, they can't hit him no matter what. Mikel is very similar to Zidane. With his skills and body, he never loses the ball in the frontcourt.
If you see the current Mikel, everyone will definitely think that Mikel is the future Zidane. No one can imagine that the future Mikel will become a defensive midfielder. He will become a defensive midfielder who has not scored for several seasons.
Waist. Mikel is really outstanding now. Although Messi shined in this game, even Messi can't cover up Mikel's brilliance.
Lister could only sigh when he saw Mikel's performance. No wonder Chelsea and Manchester United were fighting to the death for Mikel. Chelsea finally spent more than 20 million euros to acquire Mikel. Mikel is only nineteen years old now.
That's all.
Under Mikel's leadership, Nigeria's ball possession rate has reached 60% for a period of time. However, Nigeria lacks fatal attacks, especially a dagger like Messi. Only Mikel's performance,
It is impossible to truly destroy Argentina. If Nigeria had an outstanding forward player and did not need Messi, as long as there was a genius like Aguero, then Argentina would have been destroyed by Nigeria long ago.
"Mr. Cerny, we attach great importance to Messi. Our company is willing to take full responsibility for the remaining contract between him and Nike. We are also willing to give Messi an annual sponsorship of 1.5 million euros."
Adidas has really spent a lot of money. Adidas is a real sports brand powerhouse, especially in football. Its Ruan Sheng brother Puma cannot compare, and the world's number one sports brand Nike is not his in the football field.
Opponents. However, Puma has developed too strongly in recent years, and Nike has even competed with Adidas in football.
In order to ensure its status in football, Adidas is looking for targets everywhere. Currently, all the famous stars have been divided up by several brands, so everyone is targeting talented stars. Needless to say, Messi is currently the most popular star in this age group.
Outstanding player.
"Mr. Dolan, I understand what your company means. Can you give me some time to think about it?"
Lister is quite satisfied with the conditions of Adidas. Messi is only 18 years old now, and being able to get a sponsorship of 1.5 million euros is already the best for Messi. But Lister still wants to wait, wait
What will Nike think when they find out about their meeting with people from Adidas?
As long as Nike can offer the same conditions as Adidas, Lister will not abandon Nike. After all, the cooperation between Lister and Nike has been pretty good for so many years. Lister gets a lot of benefits from Nike every year. Lister's players
Currently, the annual sponsorship fee received from Nike reaches more than 15 million euros.
Of course, if Nike really doesn't give face and is unwilling to increase sponsorship fees, then Lister is not a pedantic person. If Nike is not good, there is Adidas. If Adidas is not good, there is Puma. As long as you have Messi, it doesn't matter who you choose.
The money paid is high.
"Okay. Mr. Cherny, I have always believed that business cannot be done without justice. I believe there must be a lot of cooperation between us."
Aubrey Dolan is very smart. As a senior executive of Adidas, he grabbed good players from Nike. That is his performance. Nike and Adidas have been fighting fiercely for the world's superstars in the past two years. They even compete for the world's top teams.
The sponsorship was also a blow to the head.
List is the number one agent in European football, and he has good players one after another. He not only has superstars like Nedved, but also has Rosicky, Joaquin, Vicente, and Villa.
There is no shortage of stars in their playing years, including talents like Messi, Torres and Ribery. Therefore, Oberli Dolan hopes to maintain a friendly relationship with List.
Although Aubrey Dolan is a senior executive of Adidas, if he wants to stabilize his position in Adidas, he must need the help of people like List. Even if the Messi matter does not succeed, he also hopes to maintain a good relationship with List.
"Cardoso, handed the ball to Messi on the left. Messi cut inside and shot!"
Nigeria still has more possession of the ball, and Argentina counterattacks sharply. This time too, Cardoso received Gago's pass and did not break through directly but handed it to Messi on the left. Messi came from the left
After a breakthrough, he suddenly chose to cut inside and took a long shot near the penalty area.
About 23 meters away from the goal, Messi's long-range shooting is not his strong point, but it is definitely not his shortcoming. Messi's long-range shooting skills are acceptable. This time, the victory was due to suddenness, which caught the Nigerian goalkeeper off guard.
"Seven goals, seven goals. This is Messi's seventh goal in this World Youth Championship. Messi is the most dazzling star in this World Youth Championship. Two to zero, Argentina will win the World Youth Championship again.
