"To be able to win the Ballon d'Or, I would like to thank all my teammates for their help; I am willing to share this honor with them. I am very happy to be the first Argentine player to win the Ballon d'Or."
Riester did not attend the award ceremony because Messi attended with Barcelona President Laporta. Messi's father and brother could just attend, so there is no need for Riester to attend the Ballon d'Or, which has such a high level of attention.
Award Ceremony.
On the contrary, List was outside, watching the award ceremony with another big figure in the sports world. Watching Messi receive the Golden Globe Award from the editor of "France Goal" magazine, although List had known about it for a long time, he couldn't help but cheer.
Applause. Because winning the European Ballon d'Or means that Messi has since entered the ranks of the world's top players. After having Messi, Riester has more confidence.
"Obery, what's up? Adidas doesn't regret its choice."
With Lister was Adidas executive Aubrey Dolan. He was the one who poached Messi from Nike after he won the best player in the World Youth Championship. In a few years, he has already
He is fully responsible for the Adidas football department. His choice to poach Messi has become his most classic move. The Adidas board of directors is very satisfied with him.
After all, Adidas and Nike are different. Nike is larger than Adidas, covers more fields than Adidas, and has a much higher turnover than Adidas. The football industry is only one aspect of Nike. For Adidas, football is almost everything to them. Therefore,
Aubrey Dolan is now in charge of the Adidas football department. It can be said that his status in Adidas is already very high. Many people even think that this guy will be the future leader of Adidas.
"Of course. Now Nike should regret it."
No one would have thought that the talented Messi four years ago, who was considered by Nike to be Saviola's second best, would help Barcelona win six crowns four years later. At that time, Rist's requirements were not high at all. It's just that
I hope that Nike will provide a sponsorship of more than one million euros. But Nike was not optimistic about Messi's future at the time, so it was very stingy and unwilling to provide a sponsorship of more than one million euros. However, four years later, Messi has won the European Golden Ball with absolute advantage.
Award. Moreover, Messi is only 22 years old now and is already the number one player in the world football. It is too late for Nike to cry now. After all, Nike was Messi’s sponsor when Messi was very young. If it develops smoothly
.Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have now become Nike’s twin stars. Unfortunately, Messi is now Adidas’ signature star.
"Obery, you should understand what I mean. Leo has already won the Golden Globe Award."
"Rister, we have always cooperated very well."
Aubrey Dolan nodded. He understood the reason why List came to him today. After all, Messi's status had begun to change. The previous contract was no longer suitable for Messi. Messi previously received 2.4 million per year.
Euro sponsorship, but this is no longer consistent with Messi's status. Although this is the highest sponsorship fee among Adidas-sponsored players, it still cannot represent Messi. It is not consistent with Messi's status as the number one player in world football.
"That's good. Obori. I also like to cooperate with Adidas, because you are more professional in the field of football than Nike. I will never speak loudly. But Obori, Leo's glory has just begun. The next five
In six years he will be the best player in the world. How about we get a big contract?"
"Please tell me."
"The sponsorship fee is four million euros per year. If Leo scores more than 50 goals in the club and national team in a year, you will increase the sponsorship fee by 500,000 euros. If the number of goals in a year exceeds 60,
Then add one million euros. If the number of goals exceeds 70, add 1.5 million euros. Of course, if Muller’s goal record is broken, how about an increase of three million euros?”
Oberli frowned. Not because Lister's request was excessive, but because he didn't know what Lister meant. Fifty, sixty, seventy goals, and even said he would break Muller's record.
Muller was a record master back then, setting countless goal records. How could this be so easy?
In the past ten years of La Liga, if you can score thirty league goals in La Liga in a season, you are a super scorer in La Liga. If you can score fifty goals in one club, it is not done by humans at all.
matter.
Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who just came to La Liga, scored crazy goals last season. But he only scored about fifty goals. It has already caused a sensation in the entire La Liga football world and the entire European football world. Everyone.
Everyone was very surprised, thinking that Cristiano Ronaldo was a god from heaven. Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo, the marksman, Messi's statistics last season were also very good, but it is not so easy to score so many goals.
Easy.
"Rister, are you so confident in Messi?"
"kindness."
Lister nodded and said with certainty: "You know? Leo will definitely break one dusty record after another. Sooner or later, Leo will break all the records in world football. If you dare to bet with me, then
It will be a real win-win for me and Adidas."
"Do you really think he will be the next football champion?"
"I don't know, and I'm not sure. The so-called football king requires the right time, place and people, and it is not easy to be born. But I believe that Leo will be the representative star of this era. In addition to scoring goals, I will win the Golden Globe Award
I also want to put it into the contract. If he wins the Ballon d'Or, how about Adidas giving him an extra million euros as a reward?"
Aubrey Dolan couldn't help but smile. The conditions for List's playing were actually not very excessive, especially for a dominant player like Adidas. The little money List asked for was nothing at all. Especially for Mei.
If Xi can really achieve the data mentioned by Lister, then even if he is given additional rewards, it will not be excessive at all.
After all, what is that? Fifty goals, what kind of person can accomplish this. Not to mention this, if Messi wins the Ballon d'Or again, then Messi's status will naturally continue to rise. Breaking Muller's dusty record
Record, and winning the Ballon d'Or again. Either of these will shock the world of football. There is no problem in giving more money. And more money should be given, because who can imagine what height Messi will return to by then.
"Rister, you are so confident in Messi. I will also take a gamble with you."
Lister is very happy. They don't know, but Lister knows it. Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are data-brushing machines. The two of them have broken various records in La Liga. In the next few years,
It is not too difficult for them to score more than 50 goals in a season. Not to mention the Ballon d'Or. Messi will have too many Ballon d'Or awards in the future.
After signing this contract, Messi will receive at least 5 million euros per season from Adidas in the next four years. If it breaks Muller's record, it will not be a problem to receive 8 to 9 million euros per season.
This kind of sponsorship contract is definitely the first in European football. Rooney, who is praised by the entire England, his current contract with Nike is only one million pounds per year.
"Obery, you will definitely not regret it. Adidas will definitely not regret it."
"Rister, let's find a time to talk about the specific things. Then we will hold a grand signing ceremony."
"Can."
Adidas obviously does not want to give up the moment when Messi is at his most famous. Riester also likes it. He likes to continue to cooperate with Adidas. Money, the more money Messi makes, the more money Riester can continue to make.
"By the way, Lister. As a sponsor, I want to tell you something, but I don't know if it's okay."
"Say, what can't be said? You are the sponsors. You pay the money, and you are the boss."
"hehe."
Aubrey Dolan laughed. Then he became a little serious and said: "Lister, I'm not talking about Leo. Although Barcelona is sponsored by Nike, Leo is Barcelona's top player. There is no problem.
On the contrary, it is Nike who is embarrassed now. Of course, if Messi can transfer to Real Madrid, we will be even happier. At that time, we will also sponsor part of the money to help Real Madrid introduce Messi."
"Bullshit. Leo's career is currently on the rise, and I won't let him transfer. Of course, in four or five years, it might not happen."
"Well, Riester. I'm not talking about Messi. I'm talking about Ribery."
"Frank?"
Ribery is a Nike player in history. But when Adidas signed Messi in 2005, Adidas was also very interested in Ribery. And it was the first time for Rist to cooperate with Adidas, so he took Ribery with him.
They signed a contract with Adidas together. When Ribery moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid, Adidas was the happiest person. Because Manchester United is one of Nike's most important sponsoring clubs, Adidas was very happy to take Ribery from Manchester United.
"What? You want to increase his sponsorship fee?"
"Liester, stop joking. What I want to say is very important."
"Go on."
Of course Lister was joking with Oberli. Because not long after Ribery transferred to Real Madrid, Ribery's contract with Adidas was revised. Ribery's current contract with Adidas is also a sponsorship of two million euros a year.
Although it is not as good as Messi, it is still the top sponsorship contract in European football.
"Rister, don't you think Ribery's time in Real Madrid is a bit wasted? Real Madrid's best star now is Cristiano Ronaldo, and Real Madrid's flag is Casillas. Don't you think Ribery's role is a little embarrassing?
?”
Lister didn't speak and just looked at Aubrey Dolan. Because Ribery was indeed embarrassed at Real Madrid, even more embarrassing than at Manchester United. When he was at Manchester United, Ribery was the number one at Manchester United, even more popular than Rooney.
.But in the current Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo is the number one star, Kaká’s business ability is Real Madrid’s number one, and Casillas is the captain of Real Madrid. Ribery is neither the boss of the locker room nor the player on the field.
The boss in the industry, let alone the boss in the business field.
From the top player of Manchester United, he has now become a background in Real Madrid. This makes List not satisfied. After all, Ribery is a core player of France.
"Ribery is the core of the French national team. He is not yet 27 years old. He is at his peak. He should be the core of a giant club instead of playing for Cristiano Ronaldo."
"Haha. Obori, you are a big sponsor of Real Madrid. Why don't you go talk to Florentino and ask him to get rid of Cristiano Ronaldo. If you can get rid of Mourinho by the way, I will be even happier.
. Then let Frank become the core of Real Madrid."
"you……"
Oberli was very serious, but he didn't expect List to always interrupt. Adidas is indeed a major sponsor of Real Madrid, but it cannot interfere in Real Madrid's internal affairs casually. Especially Cristiano Ronaldo is Real Madrid's top player. Therefore, he is very
He said directly: "Liester, look at Bayern. Ribery is also our representative star for Adidas. I really don't want him to be suppressed by Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid. If he transfers to Bayern, it must be Bayern."
core players."
"Bayern?"
Lister understood that Oberli Dolan was not aimless today. On the contrary, he had a very clear purpose. Unexpectedly, he was helping Bayern to convince Lister. It seems that Bayern's results this season are also average, and they are starting to worry.
"Oberi, Frank is not attached to Real Madrid. If there were better development opportunities and greater profit space, Frank would not be loyal to Real Madrid."
Real Madrid is a top club, the number one in the world. But it does not mean that Franck Ribery is really loyal to Real Madrid. In fact, among the superstars who came to Real Madrid, there are a few who are truly loyal to Real Madrid. Riester does not exclude Bayern, as long as Bayern can
Given enough sincerity, List believed that Ribery would not mind the transfer either.
"However, you are not afraid that Real Madrid will be dominated by Nike stars."
"It's just Cristiano Ronaldo. We have Kaká and Casillas, we don't care about him alone. List, if Ribery is willing to switch to Bayern, then he will definitely become a core player of Bayern. His influence will definitely be great.
In addition, we at Adidas are also willing to let him become our signature star together with Messi. You should seriously consider it."
"Okay. I will discuss it with Frank."
At this time, Riester did not make a joke, but nodded seriously. Ribery is currently overqualified in Real Madrid, playing a role for Cristiano Ronaldo. Not only does he suppress his own strength, but also suppresses his development space.
No matter how hard he works at Real Madrid, he can never surpass Cristiano Ronaldo.
