"Is it the fault of the nouveau riche, or Real Madrid's fault!"
When the news of Manchester City's transfer came out, many people complained about Manchester City and almost cursed him. Because not every league in European football is independent. On the contrary, with the deepening of football commercialization, the major leagues in European football are connected.
It's getting closer and closer.
If it was fifteen or twenty years ago, what happened in one league would not have much impact on other leagues. Leagues were relatively independent and rarely affected each other. Even many players would not choose to play abroad. England
Players, Italian players, Spanish players, including German players, they don’t like to go abroad very much now, which has a lot to do with the closed environment back then. They all like to stay and play in their own leagues. But now if a certain league
Whatever happens will soon affect other leagues. Especially the emergence of the Bosman Act has made everyone more closely connected.
It is precisely because of this that Manchester City's first transfer was criticized by countless giants in European football. Because Manchester City's first transfer was completed with the Czech league giant Sparta Prague. The main force of Sparta Prague
Central defender Thiago Silva joined Manchester City for a high price of 27 million pounds. This transfer can be said to have shocked the entire European football world.
The pound has been disliked by many people this year, and there is a lot of international hot money wanting to short the pound. But so far the pound has not fallen too fast. On the contrary, the pound has maintained its strength so far, but those who want to short the pound
On the contrary, I am happier because the pound is still strong now, and no one can stop it when it falls. Then the profits will be even greater.
Because the pound is still strong, the transfer fee is very high. Twenty-seven million pounds, which is more than 40 million euros when converted into euros. A central defender who has not yet proven himself in an important European league.
player was sold for more than 40 million euros. What kind of price is this? Even the best defender in the Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga cannot be sold for such a high price.
Damn it, when did defenders become so valuable? Last summer, Real Madrid spent 30 million euros to buy Pepe from Porto of the Portuguese Super League, which already made many clubs angry. I didn’t expect Manchester City, an upstart, to be like this. Thiago Schier
Wa's performance in the Champions League this season is good, with Sparta Prague entering the quarterfinals. But it can't be this outrageous.
This is a big blow to many wealthy and powerful teams, because the increase in player transfer fees is comparable. Real Madrid bought Pepe for 30 million euros, and Manchester City bought Thiago Silva for more than 40 million euros. This
It will greatly increase the price of center backs in European football. Although it is not as outrageous as Real Madrid and Manchester City, it will not be as cheap as before. A center back that used to cost 5 million euros may now cost 10 million euros.
.And they will make many outstanding central defenders worth 20 million euros or 30 million euros.
At present, the ones who are gritting their teeth the most are the powerful teams. Because they are the big players in the transfer market. They are also the ones who are most hurt by this incident. Because if they want to sign in in the future, they will encounter such things. They will all use
Pepe and Thiago Silva are the standard, and the transfer fee will be greatly increased. However, among the current European football giants, there are several giants that have the strength to spend money like this.
But just as they were gnashing their teeth, a transfer came out. It was Manchester City, or Sparta Prague. Manchester City introduced Sparta Prague's main left back Krarov for a price of 16 million pounds.
"Lister, what you did was unkind. All the big and powerful teams in European football are scolding you."
Pini Zahavi shook his head. The first person to be caught in this matter was not other clubs, but Chelsea. Because Chelsea is eyeing Sparta Prague right back Ivanovic, and this summer will definitely be
To be introduced.
Speaking of which, Chelsea does not lack defenders. However, Terry and Carvalho were injured in turn last season, and Chelsea also lacked good right backs. Therefore, Ivanovic, who can play right back and center back, is very popular.
Unexpectedly, two transfers like this would come out at this time. Thiago Silva is worth 27 million pounds, and Krarov is worth 16 million pounds. So Sparta Prague is more famous than them.
How much is Ivanovic, the main right back, worth? This is a chain reaction. Krarov is already worth 16 million pounds. Ivanovic cannot be cheaper than him.
Originally, Chelsea hoped to bring in Ivanovic for around 10 million pounds in the winter, but given the current market conditions, it would be difficult to acquire Ivanovic without 17 million pounds. Abramovich was also affected by
Due to the impact of the economic crisis brought about by the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, his property began to shrink. Therefore, he did not spend money as lavishly as before. This made Pini Zahavi even more troubled.
"Haha, Pini. All the agents in European football are thanking me."
It can be said that Lister made a lot of money at once this time. Half of the ownership of Thiago Silva is still in the hands of Lister, and Lister received 13.5 million pounds in the middle. In addition to his arrival
Manchester City, List also received a commission of 3 million pounds from Manchester City. Moreover, Thiago Silva's annual salary in Sparta Prague was only 1.2 million euros, but after arriving at Manchester City, his weekly salary became 80,000 euros.
Pounds. Salaries have increased more than four times, almost five times.
Except for Thiago Silva, Krarov is not a player of Liszt, but it was Liszt who brought him to Sparta Prague. Liszt holds 30% of the ownership, including Ivanovic
It's the same thing. After selling for 16 million pounds, Lister got nearly 5 million pounds. In just two transfers, Lister earned more than 21 million pounds.
This time, List relied on Manchester City to fire players' worth, which indeed made many powerful teams dissatisfied. But they were even more dissatisfied with Real Madrid. If Real Madrid hadn't fired Pepe for 30 million euros last summer, this time
There will never be such an outrageous transfer. For many agents and small teams, List is simply their big savior.
List's move this time made all the agents in European football happy. The more problematic the transfer fee, the more room the agent has to operate. The more room the agent has to operate, the more the agent's commission will be.
.For these agents, Lister is their weather vane. They all want to thank Lister.
"But you made a bad start. In the future, players' transfer fees will not be able to stop the car."
Pini Zahavi has no players, so the increase in player transfer fees will not benefit him much. However, the increase in transfer fees will increase the difficulty of player transfers. At that time, agents like Pini Zahavi will be needed.
It is operated by people, so it can be regarded as the profitable party.
"Pini, you are overestimating me. You are starting to make a bad start. One is Real Madrid and the other is Chelsea. Without Real Madrid, the transfer of superstars would not be so sensational and the transfer fee would not be so inflated.
.Without Chelsea, the transfer market in European football would have shrunk long ago. Without Real Madrid and Chelsea, a center back like Thiago would be sold for a sky-high price of six to seven million pounds."
Agents like List are not the decisive force in the development of football. On the contrary, agents are just a force that follows the development of football. In fact, the transfer market in European football is so prosperous. The one who has contributed the most is Chelsea.
In 2003 and 2004, the transfer market in European football was actually slowly declining. Especially because of the decline of Serie A, all the crazy Serie A upstarts were wiped out, so the transfer market at that time was completely in decline.
It was so prosperous at the end of the 1900s and the beginning of the 21st century. Player transfer fees began to become more rational, but at this time Abramovich came to the Premier League. As soon as he appeared, he boosted the transfer market that was starting to slump.
.Player transfer fees began to skyrocket, which was also promoted by Chelsea at the time.
If the transfer fees of European football players have reached the current level, Real Madrid and Chelsea are definitely the first ones responsible. As for agents like List, at most they only add fuel to the flames.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Lister, who is the most suitable coach for Chelsea at the moment?"
"oh?"
Lister didn’t understand what Pini Zahavi meant. Even though Mourinho has only coached Chelsea for a little more than three years, for the current Chelsea, Chelsea is Mourinho, and Mourinho is Chelsea.
Mourinho is God in the eyes of Chelsea fans. Their favorite head coach for so many years is probably Mourinho. Mourinho can leave his mark on a club in such a short period of time.
There are absolutely very few.
Now Mourinho is gone. Grant replaced Mourinho as the interim head coach. Grant was able to become the interim head coach because of his relationship with Pini Zahavi. Both of them are Israelis, and there is no Pini.
How can a coach like Zahavi and Grant become the head coach of Chelsea with nothing?
But after all, Grant's reputation is too small. Now everyone at Chelsea, including everyone in European football, thinks Grant is just a replacement. Now he is just a temporary housekeeper.
"Mendes recommended Scolari to Roman."
"Mendez is very strong."
Lister's answer was unclear, but Pini Zahavi understood it. Abramovich fired Mourinho because the two had conflicts over Shevchenko last season. But Mendes
As Mourinho's agent, he was able to maintain a close relationship with Abramovich even after Mourinho was fired. This ability is absolutely outstanding.
"Lister, do the math for me. In the current European football world, which coach is more suitable for Chelsea than Luiz Scolari."
Lister thought a lot in a short period of time and quickly understood what Pini Zahavi meant. Mourinho was fired, which was due to Pini Zahavi's contribution. Pini
Zahavi couldn't bear to see Mendes wanting to monopolize the Chelsea transfer market, so he made some moves. Unexpectedly, Mendes didn't give up. After Mourinho left, he wanted to recommend another one.
Does his own head coach really think that he is a soft persimmon, or that Chelsea is his territory? Pini Zahavi is not someone to be trifled with.
Speaking of which, Luxembourg was also the coach of Figel. Luxembourg did not perform well in the Brazilian national team at that time, and caused public outrage for selling the national team player quota. Although every Brazilian national team coach does this kind of thing
, but what Luxenberg did in Brazil was too blatant. Brazilian players who want to enter the Brazilian national team. Even some big-name players need to give Luxenberg money, otherwise he dares to brush them off. Luxenberg does this
He offended too many people, so he truly aroused public outrage, and finally resigned sadly.
Rosenborg stepped down, but Figel didn't want to give up the big cake of the Brazilian national team, so he pushed Scolari out again. It was when Figel was at his strongest, and the head coach of the Brazilian national team could also decide
Unfortunately, after the World Cup in Korea and Japan, Figel suffered a big blow, and Scolari also moved to the Portuguese national team. Therefore, he left Figel and became the coach of Mendes.
Mendes is so arrogant. During the Mourinho period, he began to exclude other agents from intervening in Chelsea. After Mourinho left, he still wanted to use Scolari to continue to control the Chelsea transfer market. Pini Zaha
Of course Wei, as Chelsea's official agent, would not agree. However, Scolari's performance is very good and he is famous. Currently, there are not many coaches in world football who can match him.
"Pini, what's there to think about? Just tell me, did Scolari have any good results in the club?"
"Rister and Scolari have two Copa Libertadores titles in South America."
"Haha, Pini. That is the Copa Libertadores champion, not the Champions League champion. Apart from coaching South American clubs, Scolari's other achievements were all achieved with the national team. A successful head coach in South America has a good reputation in European football.
Failures abound.”
Riester shook his head. Scolari is very famous, but his achievements are more achieved through the Brazilian national team and the Portuguese national team. As for his coaching achievements in South America, for European football
Still a newcomer.
"Pini, since Mendes recommended Scolari, you recommend Ancelotti. After all, Ancelotti is also a Champions League champion coach and has coached Juventus and Milan. He is no better than Scolari."
"Ancelotti?"
"Yes. Ancelotti is having a very difficult time now. Can't you just go over and get in touch with him?"
Although Riester said that Scolari was worthless, his results were indeed outstanding. Especially his performance in leading the Portuguese national team was good, which added a lot of points to him. At present, he can beat Scola.
There are not many coaches here, and Ancelotti is one of them.
