Carvajal heard List say he was in Liverpool, so he shook his head. List is indeed the most profitable agent in European football at present. No other agent can compare with his busy schedule. That's it.
I don’t know how many times I traveled to England and Spain in the past few days. No wonder this guy even bought a special plane and opened up a route. Being rich is different.
"good."
"Rister, I recently talked with Fernando. What he means is very simple. In order to avoid relegation this season, Málaga still hopes to introduce several powerful players in the winter to avoid relegation."
"I understand. You can tell me directly what position of players Málaga needs. With just two of us, relegation shouldn't be a problem."
Riester nodded. If it were the beginning, Riester would still like to stay in Malaga and see the new Malaga boss. But now Riester has long forgotten the Malaga boss, so there are bigger things waiting for Riester.
Special. In other words, in the face of this matter, if Malaga changes its boss, Riester no longer cares.
After Riester put down the phone, he smiled and said: "John, Linda, I'm very sorry. The call from Spain. Malaga Club in La Liga has just changed its owner from Qatar, but Malaga is currently in a serious relegation situation. So through the card
Wahar hopes to bring in a few players in the winter to avoid relegation."
"understand."
Sixty-year-old John Henry smiled and nodded. John Henry looked exactly like Wenger, and because he liked to smoke cigars, he was later hailed as the "Cigar-smoking Wenger" by the English media. There was a very beautiful lady next to him.
, is his new daughter-in-law, Linda Pizzuti, who is thirty years younger than him. The Linda family is also rich in the United States. Although their assets are not as good as John Henry's, they still have a lot of money.
"Who is Carvajal?"
John Henry and Lister walked into the coffee shop above and asked Lister. He is an American rich man and doesn’t know much about European football. Lister explained: “The number one agent in Spain is Raul’s agent.
He has many Spanish stars under his control, including the current core midfielder of Arsenal, Cesc Fabregas."
"Raul. It's a pity that he left Real Madrid."
Compared to John Henry, his new daughter-in-law Linda obviously knows more about football. List nodded and said: "Yes. Coach Benitez won two Champions League titles in Liverpool. At that time, there were many Spanish players in the team.
.Many of them were introduced to Liverpool through Carvajal. In Spanish football, this person has great energy. If Liverpool introduces Spanish players in the future, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with him."
When Lister received the invitation call from John Henry, Lister immediately gave up the idea of meeting the Malaga boss. Compared to the future Liverpool boss, the Malaga boss is nothing. Malaga is no better.
Not as good as top clubs like Liverpool.
John Henry's assets are not very large. Because of the subprime mortgage crisis, his assets have shrunk very seriously. It is currently estimated that his assets are at 560 million pounds. But this is a very professional sports investor. He has a very good understanding of playing sports.
Great experience. Before joining Liverpool, he invested in the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball and led the team back to its peak. He was unanimously praised by the American media.
"kindness."
John Henry nodded. He has plans to take over Liverpool, but he is still worried. After all, he is not Mansour. He is not Abramovich, and he does not have the financial strength like them. So he needs to be familiar with European football.
Someone came over to help. He had investigated Liverpool before he came. The most glorious period for Liverpool after entering the 21st century was the time of Benitez. At that time, Liverpool won the Champions League and became the only club to win the Champions League after the restructuring of the Champions League.
Won the Champions League title six times.
At that time, the person who cooperated with Benitez in signing up was Lister. It was also because of this that John Henry wanted to ask Lister's opinion. He hoped that Lister could help him.
In fact, this is development. When List was weak in the past, he had to curry favor with those club owners. After all, List could only make money by following their transfers. But as List now becomes stronger and stronger in European football
, some new bosses who entered European football took the initiative to contact List.
"Lister, can you tell me whether Liverpool can return to the top?"
"Of course."
Lister immediately gave a very positive answer. Lister understood what John Henry meant. After all, the Premier League is now a competition for hegemony. Among them, Chelsea and Manchester City are the nouveau riche, and they have a lot of money. Manchester United and Arsenal have Ferguson and Wenger, and the Heat
Spurs boss Lewis is also a man who is not short of money. As a result, it will not be easy for Liverpool to rise again.
"Liverpool is the number one club in England and the top club in European football. It has a strong fan base, so Liverpool's performance has not been good in the past two years, but its commercial sponsorship is currently ranked seventh in European football. In other words, Liverpool has not performed well in the past two years.
Liverpool can have more income, it depends on whether Liverpool's performance can improve."
"Lister, I'm just thinking about how Liverpool can improve its performance. If we don't follow the path of Chelsea and Manchester City."
John Henry really regards List as an advisor. Of course, if both parties are satisfied with this conversation, List will naturally become John Henry's advisor. List will be able to control Liverpool's transfer market again in the future.
"coach."
Lister spoke very emphatically, and then said seriously: "I don't know what's going on in Major League Baseball. But in football, especially in today's European football, the most important thing is the head coach. Assen
Since the new stadium was built, Napoli has been selling players continuously in the past few years. And the sales are all their core players, but they can participate in the Champions League every year. Because they can participate in the Champions League, their income is guaranteed and they can go smoothly.
They repaid their short-term loans without any financial problems. What's the reason? The reason is that they have Wenger. If it were any other club that sold one core player a year like this, it would have collapsed long ago."
John Henry listened carefully to Lister's words. John Henry had great confidence in himself, but he understood better that he was still a layman in football. And Lister was the world's number one agent, and even more so.
He has cooperated with many wealthy and powerful teams, including upstarts. Therefore, he is very willing to listen to what Riester has to say.
"Although Liverpool's performance has declined in the past two years, its own strength is still very strong. There are still many talented players in the team. As long as we find an excellent head coach and integrate them, it will not be too difficult to improve our performance.
Things. With Liverpool's background, as long as the performance goes up, the income will also go up. I think you are more proficient in this aspect of operations than me."
John Henry is an expert in sports management. How to increase Liverpool's income is his specialty. He is definitely much better than a layman like Lister.
"Rister, do you have a good coach you can recommend?"
"You believe me?"
Of course Lister has a good coach. But Lister cannot recommend him casually. After all, this is the second time Lister and John Henry have met. Lister needs to know what John Henry thinks.
"I believe how you see the coach."
John Henry nodded. He is different from Abramovich, the boss in the Middle East. He earns his money every penny. Therefore, he will consider various risks in any investment. Before investing in Liverpool,
He has already asked his team to conduct an evaluation.
Before meeting List, he carefully found someone to get to know List. List has many good players, and he has many good coaches. Let’s not talk about Benitez, let’s talk about the current coach of Manchester City, Pellet.
Grini. This is his second season coaching Manchester City. Manchester City is currently ranked first in the Premier League and also occupies a favorable position in the Champions League death group. When Pellegrini came to European football, it was List who led him.
Came here.
And Rodgers, who led Southampton to promotion, is currently a dark horse in the top ten of the Premier League. Moyes of Middlesbrough has also done very well leading Middlesbrough and has been able to enter the League Cup every year.
.
"John, do you have the courage to use young coaches?"
"It depends on who it is?"
John Henry also became serious because he understood that Lister was about to enter a meaty show. Lister looked at John Henry and said seriously: "There is a young coach who is thirty-nine years old this year and will be forty next summer.
Years old. He is not well-known in European football so far. But I can guarantee that he will be the next Mourinho and a very good head coach. If Liverpool hires him as head coach, he will definitely not
To disappoint you."
"who?"
"You may not know the young coach Diego Simeone who is currently coaching Sparta Prague, but if you say one thing, you may have an impression. In the 1998 World Cup, Beckham was given a red card because he was
Take revenge on Simeone during the game against Argentina."
Simeone is still a rookie in the coaching world, and many people may not know him. But as long as he is a fan, even if he is a pseudo-fan, he basically knows this matter. That is, Beckham was dismissed because of his conflict with Simeone.
Punished.
"Rister, are you sure he can succeed?"
John Henry asked, staring straight at Lister.
"yes."
Lister nodded, and then said directly: "I can guarantee him with my more than ten years of experience as an agent. He will definitely become one of the best managers in European football. If you hand Liverpool over to him, he will definitely not
Disappointed.”
List hopes that Liverpool will rise. This time List introduced John Henry to John Henry with a clear conscience. Simeone has led Sparta Prague in the Champions League group stage this season and has performed very well. If Sparta Prague can win in the Champions League
With his outstanding performance in the knockout rounds, Simeone's value will definitely increase significantly by then. List introduced him to Liverpool before, which was enough to give John Henry face.
"Lister, let me think about it." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
