"It's such a simple place, but many geniuses have emerged."
List has cooperated with many wealthy clubs in European football, and List has visited all their youth training camps. Even if it is not the youth training camps of those wealthy clubs, List has visited countless youth training camps of ordinary clubs.
But the youth training camp in front of me is simply too poor, very crude. It is a few temporary buildings in the middle of a 10-acre area in the village of Marchwood on the outskirts of Southampton. The hardware conditions of this place are not even as good as many Czech clubs.
, but it is such a shabby youth training camp that has trained countless stars.
Let’s not talk about decades ago, but let’s talk about the future of players like Shearer and Bridge who have been trained in the past two decades, and Theo Walcott who just moved to Arsenal, plus Bale owned by List.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, who will move to Arsenal, is of course not over, including Lallana, who is being coveted by many people in the future, and Luke Shaw, who is known as the new Ashley Cole.
Each of these people is better than the other, and they are all famous players in English football. They all come from the same youth training camp, that is, the Southampton Youth Training Camp. Southampton has no outstanding achievements in history, and the city of Southampton itself
It's not a big city. The city's population is around 200,000. But even so, Southampton's youth academy is very famous in England.
Lister is now sitting in his seat at their youth training camp, watching the young players from Southampton's youth training camp playing there. Lister has already discovered a large number of good players here, not to mention that he has already started signing them.
Lallana, who has a professional contract, and Bale, who Rist is currently paying close attention to. These are relatively older players. Both of them are U19 players in the Southampton Youth Academy.
And below are the young players. Lister has already seen Chamberlain who is only 13 years old, and Luke Shaw who is only 11 years old. They all entered Southampton before they were ten years old.
The training at the youth academy is a true product of the Southampton youth academy. In addition to them, Lister found that the players in the Southampton youth academy are generally good in strength. They may not be as outstanding as Chamberlain and Luke Shaw.
There are many talents, but there are many players who should be able to establish themselves in the Premier League and Championship.
Envy, that's all List can say. Such a good youth training camp is really a waste. Southampton can't retain talents, Walcott has just been bought by Arsenal. List knows that in the future, Bell and Chamberlain will
It is impossible to keep them, and including Lallana and Luke Shaw are targets of other strong Premier League teams. Southampton simply cannot keep them.
"Rister, you also think our youth training camp is excellent."
Even if List goes to Real Madrid now, he will be accompanied by Calderon or Mijatovic. Even if List currently has a bad relationship with Barcelona Chairman Joan Laporta, as long as List comes to Barcelona, Barcelona will still be Laporta's.
Porta or Begilistan has to accompany Lester, not to mention when it comes to a Championship club like Southampton.
Accompanying List now are Southampton's chairman Nicolas Gotes, Southampton's head coach George Burley and Southampton youth academy Matt Kolok.
"Yes. Your youth training camp is really outstanding. It's just that your youth training camp is short of money and its hardware conditions are not as good as those of other clubs' youth training camps."
"hehe."
Southampton chairman Nicolas Gotes could only smile. Since Southampton was relegated in 2004, the club's current financial situation has been deteriorating. The club's financial crisis is getting more and more serious.
Now Southampton has received several warnings from the Football Association. If Southampton does not solve its own economic crisis, the Football Association may take over the Southampton club. However, Nikola Gotes himself is not convinced.
There is no way. Originally, Southampton was promoted to the Premier League club. Many players who were in the Premier League at the time were retained, and they were all highly paid players. However, they were unable to be promoted for two consecutive seasons, so they could only transfer those players.
Highly paid players have all been sold. Southampton can no longer afford their wages.
"Nikolai, I know a friend. He owns a brewery with a history of 500 years, which is Held Beer. You should know."
"certainly."
Nikolai Gothus nodded. Of course he knew the Held beer brand, which is a beer brand with a history of 500 years. This year is the 500th anniversary of Held beer. In the annual Beer Month "
In the "Beer Hunter" competition, Michael Jackson, the world's most respected beer expert, chose Held Beer in 2000, which also brought Held's brand to the world.
As a long-standing beer brand in the Czech Republic, it has sales points all over the world. Anyone who loves beer knows this brand. It also has a large share of Held beer in England.
"I can convince them to give you Southampton sponsorship."
"real?"
Nikola Gotes was very happy. He would not think that List was here to amuse him, because List was not only a top agent in European football, but also a very rich man. List was the number one agent in the Czech Republic
Man, Gothic knows that Riester's influence in the Czech Republic is definitely not small. He should know a lot of people from all walks of life, and it shouldn't be a big problem to know the boss of Held Beer.
That's true. List's influence in Europe and the world is limited to football, but List's influence in the Czech Republic is not limited to football. Because List has a monopoly on Czech players, he has a close relationship with the Czech entertainment industry
He is also a dominant figure. In addition, Lister is rich and has intricate connections in various circles. He has many connections in politics, business, and entertainment. These connections make him a very important figure in the Czech Republic. Because of football
It is so popular in the Czech Republic that many so-called political and business leaders claim to be fans.
"Of course. I can convince them to sponsor Southampton for around £3 million to £5 million a year."
"call--"
Nicolas Gotts' heart beat loudly for a moment. Southampton used to be a Premier League club, but unfortunately it has become a British Championship club now. Although they have economic problems now, they are not like Dortmund and Schalke 04
They owe hundreds of millions of euros in debt only because their income is too low and they retain some highly paid players, so they owe tens of millions of pounds in debt.
In fact, once Southampton upgrades their debt, they can repay it within a few years by frugally living in the Premier League. But they have not upgraded in two years, so the debt is increasing. They have no income, so this
The debt continues to increase and will not decrease. If we can get sponsorship of three million pounds to five million pounds at this time, it will be a good thing for a British Championship club like Southampton. It can even get out of the current situation.
economic quagmire.
But Nikolai Gothus is not stupid either. He doesn't believe that Helder Beer can't sponsor them so much money. After all, even if such a company sponsors those Premier League clubs, it only costs this little money. And it's not ordinary.
Premier League clubs, but sponsoring those Premier League giants is only this price. How can Southampton, a small English Championship club, get such a high sponsorship.
Nicholas Gothus looked at Lister and asked: "Lister, I don't think they are unconditional."
"hehe."
Riester smiled, looked at Gothic and said: "Nicola, there are not many conditions. The main reason they are willing to sponsor is because you have so many talented people in Southampton, and he is very interested in your youth training camp.
Have confidence."
Nicholas Gothus did not speak, but was thinking about the meaning of Lister's words. He knew that the so-called Herder beer sponsoring Southampton must be what Lister meant. Since it was Lister's meaning,
Riester must have requested something.
Talents are emerging in large numbers? Youth training camps? Slowly, Nikolay Gothic's face began to look solemn, because he slowly understood what Lister meant. Lister is an agent, and he pays attention to what other people's youth training camps can achieve.
What's the meaning?
"Rister, what do they think of our youth training camp?"
Lister smiled slightly. It's good to talk to smart people. Nikolai Gothus understood the meaning behind Lister's words. Lister did not hide it and said: "I am an agent. I hope to be able to
Southampton's youth academy has dug up several talented players. I don't want any of the players I like under my nose to be owned by someone else. Of course, the talents discovered in Southampton must be used by Southampton.
.I am a very professional agent and will never do anything shameless."
Having said this, Nicolas Gotes completely understood what Lister meant. Lister is a player who hopes to dominate the entire Southampton youth training camp. If it were normal, or even two years ago, or even one year ago,
He would not have agreed even a year ago. Because as agents become more and more powerful, many clubs have begun to guard against these big-name agents.
Among these big-name agents, List is the top agent. It is false that Nicola Gotes is not afraid of List directly threatening Southampton. But now Gotes is a little moved, because now Nan'an
It seems that it will be difficult for Purton to be upgraded within a year or two, and there is even a danger of being relegated.
The first two years were the most suitable upgrade possibility for Southampton. Because at that time, Southampton still retained many powerful players. Now those powerful players have left, and Southampton is a group of young players. I want to
Upgrading is really not that easy. If Southampton no longer has any income, it is possible that it will be put into administration and eventually be forced to be downgraded.
Three million pounds, five million pounds, it is a real help for Southampton. Nicholas Goth thought for a long time and said with difficulty: "Rister, this matter can continue to be discussed." (To be continued...
