List has really answered that sentence recently. In the morning, he had coffee with the owner of Naples in Italy, and at noon he had lunch with their chairman Van Hanyi in Eindhoven. In the afternoon, he was negotiating with Daniel Levy of Tottenham in London.
, I made an appointment to meet with other people in the evening.
Anyway, List has been traveling like this recently. List even thinks that according to his current schedule, he should buy a private jet. This way, he doesn’t have to be as tired as he is now. Having a private jet will make everything easier.
The purchase of a private jet is estimated to cost between 30 million and 40 million pounds. Although it is not cheap, Lister is not unable to afford it. On the contrary, Lister can still afford this amount of money.
But the good thing about being busy is that Riester once again completed a transfer. An agreement was quickly reached between Naples and PSV, and PSV's Afellay paid 23 million euros.
Price moved to Naples and became the top bidder in the Serie A transfer market this season. Naples also used such a transfer to show its ambitions. Of course, although Afellay's transfer fee is high, his salary is little
Neither are high.
Unlike Messi and Ribery, who can get 6 million euros after tax, Afellay comes to Naples with an annual salary of only 2.6 million euros after tax. But for Afellay, this salary is also higher than his
It is much higher in Eindhoven. Naples has very strict control over the team's salary. Afellay's current salary is the highest in Naples.
In fact, Riester did not really regard Naples as the final stage. No matter how Naples develops, Serie A as a whole will decline. Naples alone cannot carry the banner of Serie A's revival. If Serie A wants to revive, it still needs to see the revival of the three northern powers.
.So when Afeilai went to Naples, List just used Naples as a springboard. When Afeilai becomes famous in Serie A, it will be a good process to transfer to a giant.
After Eindhoven sold Afellay, they announced that this summer's sales were over. Because this summer, Eindhoven had already sold Afellay, Messi, and Lars Diarra.
The main player, and Shaheen has been taken back by Dortmund. As a result, PSV's lineup suddenly lost four main players.
However, after selling three players, Eindhoven earned more than 70 million euros. The wealthy Eindhoven immediately introduced Dembele from Alkmaar for 6 million euros, and then spent another 700 million euros.
They brought in defensive midfielder Ramirez from Cruzeiro for 10,000 euros. Anyway, PSV is rich now, and they can bring in several players with millions of euros without blinking an eye.
Lister went to England during this period because of Bell, another talented player of Lister. After Bell started playing left winger last season, he played 33 times in the British Championship and scored eight goals.
.Although it was only eight goals, not even in the top 20 in the British Championship. But for a young player who is only 18 years old, this result is still very outstanding.
There are many clubs interested in Bale now, but the most sincere and the one with the most money is Tottenham. Southampton is currently short of money. Although there is sponsorship from List, Southampton is still short of money.
Therefore they are more inclined to propose high prices for Tottenham.
Lister is also more inclined to Tottenham. Because Manchester United has a frontcourt trident composed of Rooney, Ribery and Villa, as well as the newly introduced Nani and the veteran Giggs, who are sure to play in the competition.
Park Ji-sung, etc. It will be difficult for Bale to play games when he goes to Manchester United.
Arsenal has the same problem. The newly introduced Kalou and Nasri are both top players, technical players that Wenger likes very much. Moreover, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robin van Persie can all play on the wing. Compared to
Their biggest advantage is Bell's speed. His foot skills are not as good as those of French players and African players. It is impossible for him to have more opportunities at Arsenal.
On the contrary, Tottenham just sold Malouda at a high price, and there is still a shortage of people on the left. Although there are Arshavin and Hleb, Arshavin plays more as a second forward, and Hleb plays on the right.
Therefore, Bell may have more opportunities. For Bell now, the most important thing is the game. Therefore, after the final rounds of negotiations, Tottenham introduced the 18-year-old Bell for 7 million pounds.
Although Bale is gone, Southampton Liszt still doesn’t want to give up. Every time Liszt finds a foothold in a certain league, he always likes to find a club like this. A club that has no money and is completely different from Liszt. Such a club
Only Leicester can control the direction of his development. Although Leicester has business dealings with wealthy clubs in England, Leicester wants an obedient club of his own, and Southampton is the best. Therefore, Leicester and Southampton continue to cooperate.
, Riester loaned two young Czech players to Southampton.
One is Nesid, who is known as the new Jankol. The 18-year-old Nesid is the best product of the Liszt Czech youth training camp. He started to play in the Czech league last season. Although he is not the absolute main force, he has played a very important role in the Czech league.
Scored seven goals and four assists. He is another talented center from the Czech Republic. He is 1.9 meters tall, fast, has good skills, passes well, shoots and headers well.
The other person is also a top talent cultivated by Riester's Czech youth training camp, 20-year-old Fenin. Fenin is good at assists, and of course he also shoots very well. Feining has also made a name for himself in the Czech league. Last season he was in
Three goals were scored in the Czech league, but assists reached nine.
In this year's World Youth Championship in Canada, they all performed very well. In this World Youth Championship, Nessie scored three goals, Feining also had two goals and three assists. The last group
The Czech National Youth Team won the World Youth Championship runner-up, but lost to the Argentine National Youth Team in the final by one goal. Aguero became a big star, but the performance of the Czech National Youth Team was not bad at all.
The two of them have a very high starting point, but there are also disadvantages. If it were placed in the Czech league five or six years ago, the two of them would have been the top talents that attracted much attention. However, the Czech league has developed too fast in recent years. As a result, it is now
The players from the previous clubs in the Czech Republic are all too good. It is not easy for the two of them to get a stable chance to play. Nesid and Fenin are both in Sparta Prague now, but it is a pity that they want to get it from others.
It’s so hard to get a chance to play.
Therefore, Lister wants them to experience another football style and let them grow here. If they are really talented, then they have to see the wind and rain. If they can succeed in English football, then their future will be even brighter.
That's why Leicester deepened his cooperation with Southampton and sent these two players. Of course, Southampton had no money, so they just loaned them to Southampton.
Not only the two of them, List also brought an attacking midfielder to Southampton, who will be the main attacking midfielder in Valencia in the future. Tino Costa is still an unknown player and a completely free agent.
However, Southampton has a lot of good players, but lacks a good coach. Southampton is really in a bad situation at this time, and its economic problems are very serious. But this seriousness pales in comparison to Dortmund. Dortmund has even thrown in Lester.
Sixty million euros didn't solve Dortmund's problems. It's up to Dortmund to figure it out on their own.
But Southampton is different. Their economic problems are too simple. With List's sponsorship, plus Bell's transfer fee, of course List has lent another five million euros. The current Southampton can't see it at all.
Economic problems come.
Southampton's owner, a rich man like List, would not give up. Therefore, when List expressed his willingness to find an outstanding head coach for Southampton, Southampton had no objection. List came to London again.
For this matter.
"Lister, you appear frequently in the newspapers. The Sun said that the various transfers you completed this summer exceeded 200 million. They said that one-third of the transfers in European football this summer
It has something to do with you."
"Hahaha. You still read tabloids like The Sun."
"The Sun" is definitely exaggerating. Although List is very active this summer, not one-third of the transfers are related to List. If there is an agent in European football who can control one-third
transfer, then this person is too powerful. Maybe he will become the target of public criticism in European football.
However, among the transfers of more than 20 million euros, Rist is indeed very present. Messi, Afellay, Lass Diarra are all players transferred by Rist. In addition to Tevez,
Riester was involved in the transfers of Alves, Kompany and Modric.
"Tell me, Lister. What do you want from me?"
Rogers went straight to the point. Lister came to London this time to find Rogers, the current Chelsea reserve team coach. Historically Liverpool coach Rogers. Lister and Rogers have known each other for a long time. Rogers admired the football styles of Spain and the Netherlands.
, didn’t like England’s traditional style very much. So a few years ago, he traveled to Spain and the Netherlands to study football in these two countries.
Rogers likes to control the ball, so he has consulted many coaches. In the past, he often went to Eindhoven to learn Eindhoven's playing style. In particular, he had many exchanges with Hiddink. Hiddink placed great emphasis on physical strength in South Korea, Australia, and Russia.
, are all known for their tenacity. But Hiddink is a Dutch coach after all. The Dutch's total offense and total defense are also reflected in him. Rogers appreciates Dutch football, so he has consulted many Dutch coaches.
It was precisely because Rogers studied in Spain and the Netherlands that Lister had huge business in Spain and the Netherlands. Therefore, Lister also knew Rogers.
"Brendan, do you want to stay at Chelsea as a reserve team coach? You are already thirty-four years old."
"I have learned a lot from Jose in the past few years. I want to learn for another one or two years and then coach independently."
Rogers understood what Lister meant by coming today, so he declined Lister politely. Although Mourinho is a defensive counterattack coach, he studied under Robson and Louis van Gaal and has been trained in Barcelona for many years. He has a lot of knowledge about Barcelona's ball control.
He has a deep understanding of offense and has many unique insights into offense. Although his concept of ball control is different from Rogers', Rogers still learned a lot from Mourinho. Not only the tactics, but also how to control the locker room.
, how to improve the team's morale, etc. Therefore, he hopes to continue to learn from Mourinho's side.
"hehe."
Lister smiled and then asked directly: "Brendan, do you know why you suddenly changed from youth team coach to reserve team coach last summer?"
"Why?"
"I don't believe you don't know. Because Frank Arnesen joined Chelsea with a high profile last summer and began to take charge of Chelsea's youth training system. That's why Mourinho made you the reserve team coach."
Lister can be said to be very clear about the dirty things in the Chelsea team. Mourinho himself was very dissatisfied with the arrival of Arneson, because Arneson directly took away half of Mourinho's rights.
Last summer, Shevchenko and Ballack, whom he didn't like, came. He didn't like Arnesen, so he transferred Rodgers, whom he valued, to the reserve team, not letting Arnesen take charge.
Hearing Lister's blunt words, Rogers smiled. Although Rogers admired Mourinho and learned a lot from him, his personality is completely different. Rogers also has some pride, but his personality is still relatively gentle.
"You want to learn from Mourinho? But there is no chance."
"José is leaving?"
Rogers, who had been smiling all the time, was suddenly shocked. At this time, Mourinho's status in Chelsea was really that God came first and Mourinho came second. Many Chelsea fans were completely indifferent to him.
He is a man of great admiration, and many staff within Chelsea also hold him in high esteem.
Many people here at Chelsea hope that Mourinho will become Chelsea's Ferguson and Chelsea's Wenger. For Chelsea, which has not had a league championship for half a century, Mourinho has brought not only the Premier League championship, but also the kind of contempt
The momentum of the world and his indomitable style. As an upstart who is rejected by all the rich and powerful teams, Chelsea fans like Mourinho's arrogant character.
Rogers is not an idiot. You can guess what List means when he says this. It is precisely because Mourinho is so important to Chelsea that Rogers, who has a calm personality, can't help being surprised.
Lister nodded slowly and said: "The matter is no longer resolved. Mendes and Pini Zahavi are incompatible with each other. Mourinho completely refuted Abramovich's face last season. You
Didn’t you see that from last season’s winter transfer to this season’s summer transfer, have Chelsea’s senior management completely abandoned Mourinho? In England, a head coach cannot intervene in the transfer market, which shows that he has lost his senior management.
of trust.”
"That doesn't mean..."
"Brendan, let me tell you the truth. Not to mention this season, Mourinho will not be able to survive even the first half of the season. Unless he can perform exceptionally this season, the team will not be depressed for a moment.
Otherwise, as long as there are two or three downturns, he will leave."
Rogers was speechless. He also knew that Mourinho and Chelsea's top management had some dirty things, but he never thought it would be so serious. He needed to sort out his chaotic thinking.
Of course, Rogers doesn't think List is bragging. Rogers and List have known each other for many years. List is a top agent in European football, while Rogers is a little guy who has never even been a head coach. But List has always been
We treat him equally and have never lied to him. Now it is impossible to lie to him for a trivial matter.
"Come on. You are strong enough now and have learned enough. What you need now is experience and practice. There are talented players at Southampton waiting for you to train. You need any type of players, I
Everything can be prepared for you. You don’t have any pressure there, and you can perform everything you imagine.”
Coaches like Rogers all have one goal, that is, one of them can become an independent head coach. Rogers also has this idea, so after hearing Lister's words, he began to feel a little excited this time.
If Mourinho leaves, there will definitely be some turmoil at Chelsea. There is really nothing wrong with staying there.
