The office building of Deportivo Club is very ordinary.
Not even as good as the office tower in Sparta, Prague.
Lister slowly entered the office building in La Coruna along with the staff. The inside was very simple, with no luxurious decorations. It was just an ordinary house.
After arriving on the second floor, Lister saw a man standing there.
Not standing around casually.
It was obvious that he was waiting for someone.
And Lister had a feeling that this person should be waiting for him.
Very fat.
The face is big.
Raiola is also relatively fat, but he pales in comparison to the man in front of him.
I estimate that the person in front of me weighs two hundred pounds.
Before the staff in front introduced him, the man walked up to him, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Cerny. I am Augusto Lendoiro."
.”
Lister suddenly realized.
It turns out that this big fat man is Deportivo Londoiro, the chairman of Deportivo.
The weak Serie B team that brought Deportivo from a position of bankruptcy and almost relegation, became the president of a strong La Liga team in just a few years.
And that’s without spending much money.
After understanding the history of La Coruna, Riester admired Londoiro very much. Without the efforts of the big fat man in front of him, La Coruna would not know where it is now.
Therefore, he quickly held his hand and said: "Chairman Lendoiro, I have long admired your name. Your work in Deportivo can be written into the textbook of the club's development."
Lendoiro laughed loudly when he heard Riester's words.
Don't pay attention to your own demeanor at all.
He has a fat face, and the flesh on his cheeks trembles when he smiles.
"You know what? I like nothing more than people praising me."
Lendoiro makes no secret that he likes to be praised by others.
Looking at his happy look, people who don't know him will definitely think that he is a person who likes to make a name for himself. But anyone who knows the development of La Coruna would not dare to have such an idea.
Deportivo will still be strong in La Liga for another ten years.
If it weren't for the outstanding ability of the man in front of him, how could a team from a small city like Deportivo, which requires money but no money, and history but no history, be so successful?
"Come, Mr. Cherney."
Lendoiro is obese.
But he walks very fast. On such occasions, most people will respect the guests, or take care of the guests, and try to walk as slowly as possible, but Londoiro is not the case.
I go my own way.
But Lendoiro's insistence on going his own way did not make Riester feel slighted by him.
Just like Jerome Anderson.
When negotiating with him, he was very silent at first and kept his demeanor very good. But Lister clearly felt the contempt of Jerome Anderson.
But Lendoiro's insistence on going his own way endeared him to Riester.
Straightforward.
It can only be expressed in this way.
Riester followed Lendoiro into Lendoiro's office.
Lendoiro did not take Lister to any place like the living room, but led Lister into his office.
Riester, who had always behaved very calmly, clearly showed a hint of surprise when he entered Rendoiro's office.
Really surprised.
Lendoiro's office is small.
It's only about fifteen to twenty square meters.
Such a small office still looks empty.
There is a desk, a chair of its own, a small sofa, and a bookcase.
That's all.
If we say it again, there will be one more clothes rack.
That's all.
The small sofa made by the customer is relatively exquisite, but the cushions of Londoiro's chair are actually full of holes. I don't know how long Londoiro has been using the cushions.
Is this the office of the president of a powerful La Liga club?
But after being surprised, Lister still sat on the small sofa.
"Mr. Cherny, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to really accept my invitation. There should be many strong European teams interested in Boboski now."
After sitting down, Lendoiro was very relaxed.
List has negotiated a lot this summer, either to look down upon a rural agent from the Czech Republic like List, or to bring in List's players and his good-natured character.
The free one like Lendoiro was the first.
Riester was alert.
Because Lendoiro's free and easy appearance unknowingly eroded Riester's defense.
Therefore, Riester slowly guarded against Londoiro in his heart.
Lendoiro is so awesome.
Unknowingly, it makes people lower their guard.
He is so capable.
He shrugged and said: "Well, Manchester United, Arsenal, Dortmund, and Milan have all expressed interest in Boboski. I have also talked with their representatives, but they are just in the contact stage. Manchester United is the most sincere.
, I have already had a phone call with Coach Ferguson. Arsenal representatives have also had a round of negotiations."
Although Lendoiro is very successful in Deportivo, he is just a rich man in Deportivo.
He has average connections in European football circles.
After all, it has only been five years since Deportivo La Coruna was promoted, and they were in the second division for 18 years before that. In the first three years after being promoted to La Liga, they even had a chance to win the La Liga championship with their momentum.
But in the past two years, Deportivo has clearly entered a bottleneck period.
The results were not very good.
Therefore, Lendoiro is still a small tycoon in European football.
It is impossible to know the content of Boboski's negotiations from other sources. We only know that Manchester United is most interested in Boboski.
Therefore, he wanted to test Riester.
Boboski's performance in the European Cup was amazing.
Lendoiro believes that there are many clubs interested in him. Lendoiro really wants to introduce Boboski, but he needs to know Rist's bottom line.
If he were asked to compete with other European giants, he would not have the slightest confidence.
But Riester seemed very honest and said everything honestly. But it was all nonsense and there was nothing of value.
Anyway, it seems that this and that club are interested in Boboski.
No bottom leaked out at all.
This kid is difficult to deal with.
This is Lendoiro's idea.
So he immediately changed his mind and ended the probing and said straight to the point: "Mr. Cerny, we at A Coruña are very interested in Boboski. Do you have any thoughts on our invitation?"
This damn fat guy is very powerful.
Riester thought so too.
So Riester looked very troubled and said hesitantly: "I am also undecided now. Chairman Lendoiro, I don't know how to choose. The strong teams that are interested in him have everything from transfer fees to contracts.
It's all good. Manchester United has expressed its willingness to pay 5 million pounds, and the commission given to me is 800,000 pounds, and it is willing to give Carrel a salary of one million pounds."
Lister exaggerated Manchester United's conditions.
Then he continued: "But although Karel is very strong, he is only 24 years old after all and has never played in the top European leagues. I am afraid that he will go to a strong team like Manchester United because there will be too much pressure and he will not be able to compete.
The original player. After all, Karel is only 24 years old and still needs to play."
Seeing Riester's distressed look, Lendoiro felt funny in his heart.
Riester said he was undecided, but in fact he had revealed a lot of information to Londoiro.
Lister used an alternative way to tell Lendoiro that the conditions of strong teams like Manchester United are very good. However, Lister was worried that his players would not be able to adapt to the wealthy clubs all of a sudden.
Lendoiro had already heard what Riester meant.
Riester is willing to talk to Deportivo.
It's not because the conditions in A Coruña are good, but because Boboski can adapt better here.
As long as you are willing to talk, nothing is a problem.
Lendoiro knew it well, so he sighed and said: "Mr. Cerny, Manchester United is really rich. We are a small club in Deportivo. The transfer fee cannot be five million pounds, and it is difficult to give a salary of one million pounds."
.”
"But we have sincerity, huge sincerity. We are willing to give Boboski a relaxed environment and give him a main position."
List nodded.
Deportivo is indeed incomparable to Manchester United.
If List just wanted to earn more commissions from this transfer, he would have transferred Bobosky to Manchester United long ago. Why endure the humiliation of Arsenal and travel all the way to Spain?
Lister is a long-term investment.
"President Lendoiro, I am really interested in Deportivo La Coruña. But at most I can decide my commission. I can take a little less in this part. But Sparta Prague has just signed a contract with six million US dollars.
Pavel Nedvěd was sold to Lazio at a very high price, so the transfer fee for Karel cannot be too small. Otherwise, he will not be able to get through with the board of directors."
Riester could earn less commission in A Coruña, but he would have to make up for the loss when he returned to Sparta Prague.
Riester was the first to give in.
Lendoiro knows that Boboski is very popular in European football.
He is the hottest star in this European Cup.
There are only two ways to capture Boboski.
Either they offer a higher transfer fee than other clubs to impress Sparta Prague. Although the Bosman Act has been passed for more than half a year now, the club is still stronger than the players.
Another way is to give List a very high commission.
Then let Riester figure it out.
Let List convince his players.
There are only two ways.
But neither approach is realistic in Deportivo now.
They only have one thing.
The guarantee of the main position is also sincerity.
Unexpectedly, it was Riester who took a step back first.
This is why Riester mainly considers the economic situation of La Coruna.
Lendoiro had some surprises.
Riester is not very old, but Lendoiro thought Riester was more difficult to deal with from the initial confrontation. Unexpectedly, Riester took the lead in making certain concessions before there was much negotiation.
Riester noticed a hint of doubt in Londoiro's mind.
So explained: "Karel is a player under my banner, and he is also my friend. I hope his career will go smoothly and he can become a European football superstar."
"Giant clubs like Manchester United and Milan are very dazzling, but I hope Carrel can join a team that plays the main role. Deportivo is strong, has development prospects, and can guarantee Carrel's main position. I think I sacrificed a
There is no problem with a little economic benefit."
