"Madeshi Benatia. Are you interested in playing football in the Czech Republic?"
"Czech? Who are you?"
Benatia is a very professional person. He was so excluded in Marseille and was unknown, but he never relaxed his demands on himself. Even if the season is over, he is still practicing silently to improve his level. He
I hope Anigo will change his attitude towards himself one day.
It's a pity that what Benatia doesn't know is that the more powerful the person is, the more stubborn he becomes. Just like Anigo doesn't know why he doesn't like Benatia, but since he has suppressed him for three years, he will not change himself now.
Idea. As long as he is in Marseille, Anigo will not give Benatia any chance.
But Rist likes this kind of player very much. He never gives up when he is down and keeps trying to improve his level. He is not proud even if he becomes famous in the future. He has a professional quality that many other players do not have.
Benatia is at his lowest mood now. They all came out of the Clarefontaine youth training camp and came to Marseille at the age of sixteen. But within four years, those who were with him began to become famous and began to play in Ligue 1.
After playing in the league, he was regarded by French football as one of the four little swans and the future of French football. However, he was firmly suppressed in the youth team. Marseille's sports director Anigo couldn't stand him. Regardless.
No matter how hard he worked, Anigo still looked down on him.
The man in front of me, Benatia, has an impression. Because I met him in Marseille a few days ago, right in front of Anigo's office. Unexpectedly, I received a call from him today. As soon as I met this man, he said he wanted to
Take him to the Czech Republic to play football.
The Czech League? Although it has developed rapidly in recent years. Some media have even compared it with the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League. But for Benatia, the Czech League cannot be compared with the French League. And the Czech League is too unfamiliar.
.
"Me? My name is Liszt Cherney. I'm an agent. You should have heard of my name."
"Listor Cherny."
Benatia felt that the name was very familiar, but suddenly he couldn't remember it. So he frowned and thought for a while before slowly remembering it. He said in surprise: "You are Ribery's agent."
?”
"yes."
Franck Ribery transferred to Manchester United for more than 40 million euros last summer, which was a sensation in French football. Afterwards, Ribery performed well in the World Cup and quickly impressed the French football world. Therefore, Ribery is very famous.
He became a worthy successor to Zidane. Riester Cherny, who came to Manchester United along with Ribery, also became famous in French football.
This is the case with the agent. List has been very powerful over the years and has handled many transfers. No one in the know knows about List's strength. But at that time, his fame was concentrated within the football world. But after handling Ribery's
After the transfer and the recent transfer of Messi, List's fame began to spread. In addition to insiders, many ordinary players and fans also recognized List, a powerful agent.
No matter how low-key Riester is, he cannot hide himself in this era of advanced information. After all, he has Ribery, the successor of Zidane in France, and Messi, the successor of Maradona in Argentina, and their transfers are sensational.
European football transfers. Therefore, Lister, who handled the transfer, frequently appeared in newspapers, allowing ordinary people to begin to understand the agent and the agent behind it.
"You may have heard. I just handled the transfer of Leo Messi recently."
"Messi."
Benatia was frightened by List. Benatia only knew that List was Ribery's agent, but he didn't expect that the transfer that had just caused a sensation in European football was also operated by List.
"Then you are looking for me..."
"Let's go. I've checked your information recently and you're pretty good. But you have no future in Marseille. Anigo has a very bad impression of you. No matter how hard you try, you can't change Anigo.
Ge’s impression of you. Since there is no future in Marseille, you’d better go to the Czech Republic with me. You can show your ambitions there.”
"Going to the Czech Republic?"
Benatia had some hesitations. He had lived in France since he was a child, received football training in France, graduated from the famous Clarefontaine youth training camp, and then entered the famous Marseille youth training camp. Unfortunately, his youth was good. But what happened after that
The development is getting worse and worse. But even so, he still wants to stay in France.
"Madehi, even if you leave Marseille to join another French club, the most you can do is play in the French second division. In the French second division, unless a forward can score more than 20 goals a season, or some other
A player can assist a dozen or twenty in a season. Only at this level can he attract the real attention of French football. A central defender from the French second division wants to come to Ligue 1. It would be good to have one out of ten.
Already."
Benatia's face looked ugly. Because Lister was right, a league like the Second Division is not even as good as many other foreign minor leagues. Unless the performance is extremely outstanding, it will not be able to attract high-level leagues.
Pay attention. And the defenders are even more so.
"Let's go to the Czech Republic with me. You can get sufficient training there. As long as you perform well, all the top leagues in European football will pay attention to you. The Czech league is far more popular than the so-called French second division. As long as you are in
If you perform well in the Czech league, many clubs will be interested in you."
Benatia didn't quite understand. But Riester was not bragging at all. Now the attention of the Czech League is almost comparable to that of the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League. You can see this by looking at the recent player transfer fees in the Czech League. Come before
It is said that it is very difficult for the Czech League to produce a player worth more than 10 million euros, but it is completely different now. Every summer there are players worth more than 10 million euros. This summer Kompany even sold more than 20 million euros.
EUR.
"Let me think about it, okay?"
Riester was not angry at Benatia's caution. On the contrary, Riester was very satisfied with Benatia's prudence, because only with this attitude can he be more successful in the future.
"Didi didi——"
"I'm sorry, Madhi. I'll take a call."
Lister looked at the phone number. His expression immediately became serious, and then he opened the phone and said, "Hello, Michelle."
"Okay, okay. I'm in Marseille now, let's do it this afternoon. I'll go to Paris in the afternoon and we'll meet there. Okay."
Lister put down the phone and smiled. Because the person who called Lister was Platini, Lister himself was willing to maintain a very friendly relationship with Platini. But he did not want to get too close to Platini.
But now that it was Platini himself who called, of course Lister needed to go and take a look.
Benatia looked at Lister with some surprise. Although he did not fully understand the content of the call, he also knew that the person on the other end of the phone was Platini who had just become the president of UEFA. He couldn't help but look carefully.
After looking at Lister, it turns out that he is a powerful agent with players like Ribery and Messi. He can contact Platini anytime and anywhere.
However, Riester didn't care about Benatia's thoughts. He smiled and said to him: "Then think about it carefully when you go back. If you think about it, give me a call. If you perform well in the Czech Republic, then you can do well in the Czech Republic.
There are enough opportunities to play in the Champions League. I can help you go to Sparta Prague. Their head coach is Coach Heynckes. They have just sold their main center back Kompany for more than 20 million euros."
…………
"Rister, I heard that you have been in France for a few days. How come you have time to stay in France for so long?"
Platini was born to be a politician. Although Lister historically did not like Platini's policies in European football, when he really integrated into this place, Lister could find that Platini was indeed very good at it.
Outstanding. This person does not speak with much arrogance. On the contrary, he can make people feel like a spring breeze. Talking to Lister is like meeting an old friend.
"It's nothing. I recently met an outstanding and talented central defender in France and am currently communicating with him."
"Haha, really. Then I look forward to having a top central defender in France again."
Platini is more curious. What kind of central defender can let a top agent like List stay for several days? How outstanding he will be. He knows the reason why List went to Marseille, it is for
Nasri's transfer to Arsenal. But I didn't expect that List would stay for a long time after completing this matter. It was obvious that List changed his schedule specifically for the so-called genius player. How much
He stayed for several days. If he wasn't outstanding enough, how could Lister stay for several days?
However, Platini had something important to do with Lister today, so he suppressed his curiosity. And at his status, he would not pay attention to a certain player.
"Rister, what do you think of the reform plan I proposed?"
Platini currently has many reform plans proposed. Among the slogans he proposed are changing the European Cup from 16 teams to 24, ensuring that other small league teams enter the Champions League. There are also financial fairness policies.
If all the clauses can be implemented, it will be a major change in the current situation of European football.
"It is good for the long-term development of European football."
Although Lister didn't like Platini's policies when he watched the European League before, especially the Financial Fair Play policy. Those wealthy clubs can spend money if they like and buy players if they like. It's none of your business.
Those superstars will be more likeable when they come together, just like the Galacticos. Moreover, those small league teams are pouring into the Champions League, and there are too many teams entering the European Cup. The final result will make the game ugly.
Not to mention that after the reform, even the current Champions League group stage is becoming more and more boring. There are too many weak teams, which has caused a significant drop in the ratings of the group stage. If the number of small league teams in the group stage continues to increase, it will definitely seriously affect the game.
quality.
But overall, this reform is good for the long-term development of European football, and it is good for those small teams. And although List is now the number one agent in European football, overall, List
He is also a representative of small leagues in the Czech Republic, Eastern Europe, and Central Europe. From his own interests, Platini's policies are beneficial to List. When he was a fan, List was against Platini's policies.
Because it affects the quality of the game. But as a Czech agent, List supports Platini's policy.
"But it's not easy."
Platini sighed. Riester just nodded this time without saying anything. Reform, reform, to put it bluntly, is to divide the interests from the original interest groups to cultivate new interest groups. That is to say, the redistribution of wealth, the original
Of course those wealth owners will not be satisfied. For Platini’s policy, the more powerful football countries are, the more they are opposed to it. For example, the Premier League, which is developing the most smoothly now, is the main force of opposition, because Platini’s policy was the first to cause damage.
It's the Premier League.
"You know who you're most worried about?"
"G14."
It's very obvious. In the current European football world, since Platini has won the position of UEFA president, he can slowly develop his power in UEFA. Now let's talk about Merkley taking over the UEFA position.
The chief executive of the Football Federation and half of the UEFA executive committee members support Platini. In addition to the clumsy Spanish Football Association president Villar, Platini is directly from France, and the Netherlands, which has been close to him for a long time, and Canada
As an executive committee member of some small Eastern and Central European countries, Platini has no problem controlling UEFA. Therefore, Platini is not afraid of those powerful football associations that have fierce opposition. On the contrary, what he is most worried about is the opposition of wealthy clubs.
The biggest opposition force now is the G14, which dares to fight against FIFA and UEFA, and dares to take FIFA and UEFA to court. This organization includes almost all the giants in European football and has a monopoly on world football.
They have most of the top player resources and monopolize most of the economic resources. They are so powerful that FIFA and UEFA have a headache. Since the establishment of G14, FIFA and UEFA have had several confrontations with them.
.G14 did not retreat at all. On the contrary, it pressed FIFA and UEFA step by step and gained many benefits of its own.
"That's G14."
Regarding this organization, both FIFA and UEFA hope to ban it. However, they are too powerful and it is not easy to deal with them. At the inauguration ceremony, Platini expressed the hope that this organization can
Disbanded. Now the biggest resistance to Platini’s new policy also comes from this organization.
In the past, FIFA and UEFA had a bad relationship, so it was difficult to work together to deal with the G14. But as Platini became the president of UEFA, Blatter and Platini began to join forces. After they joined forces, they
One to deal with is G14.
"Lister, you have a lot of connections with European football giants. I want to hear what you mean."
