Lister himself was very anxious. He flew directly from China to England without much rest time. Then he came directly to Manchester and went straight to the hospital.
When they entered the hospital, there were already many people. Among them were the staff members of Lister's office in Manchester. Lister didn't have time to say anything else to them, so he asked directly.
"Boss, the situation is not very good. The knee needs surgery. The doctor conservatively estimates that it will take four months before he can walk normally. If he wants to return to the game for training, it should take at least half a year."
"Shit. What the hell is going on?"
When Lister heard the words of his staff, he couldn't help but cursed. Lister rushed back in such a hurry because Torres was injured, and it was very serious. It was a knee injury, otherwise Lister would not have come back from China so quickly.
List still has many things to do in China, and many Chinese clubs hope to contact List. However, Torres' injury caused him to reject all these invitations.
Torres is one of Leicester's ace players. Among Leicester's players over the years, Torres is definitely one of the players who has brought Leicester the biggest income. He became famous at a young age, and Atletico Madrid kept bribing him in order to keep him.
Riester's various bribes from Atletico Madrid alone amounted to nearly 10 million euros.
In addition, Torres was the first player in the youth training at Atletico Madrid and was Atletico Madrid's flag player. Therefore, the salary he received at Atletico Madrid was almost among the top five in European football at the time, and Torres was less than 20 years old at the time.
.
Even now, Torres is only 26 years old, still in his peak period as a player. But Rist knows one thing, that is, what a forward like Torres fears most is injury. Once injured, his explosive power and speed will be reduced.
It will decline, and his greatest power will be gone. And the location of the injury this time is the knee, which is the knee.
A knee injury is a serious injury for any player. It is even more fatal for a player with speed like him. Although Torres has good basic skills, skills, and shooting skills in addition to his speed. But without speed,
Or the speed has dropped, and his power has also dropped by 30%. Torres is only 26 years old, and he should have a lot of peak time. He also needs to make more money for Riester, how can Riester not be anxious. Riester
We can only pray that Torres' knee injury can recover smoothly.
"During the game, I was fighting for a header. I fell to the ground and injured my knee."
There were many people at the entrance of the hospital. There were staff from Manchester City, List's staff in Manchester, and Torres' family. But after hearing this, List really couldn't care less.
"How was the surgery?"
"The doctor said it was a success."
List nodded, as long as he succeeds, that's all. Although he injured his knee, it will have some impact on his future explosiveness and speed. But as long as he can have 70 or 80% of his original strength, it will be enough for Torres.
In addition to speed, Torres also has skills and shooting ability. Historically, when he came to Chelsea, the transfer fee of 50 million pounds put too much pressure on him. His performance at Chelsea could not be said to be bad. But relatively
Compared with his worth of 50 million pounds, it is really bad. The worse the performance, the greater the pressure on him. The more he wants to perform well, the worse his performance becomes. In the end, a vicious circle emerges.
Riester doesn't want Torres' career to become like this. Therefore, the best way now is to let Torres recover well and not to rush back.
"Aura, please stay with Fernando first. Tell him not to be burdened with anything. It's been so many years. Let him have a good rest."
When Lister heard that the operation was successful, he felt relieved a little. Then he paid attention to Torres's wife and said a few words to her. Aura nodded. Lister had known Aola for a long time.
Ya and Torres are childhood sweethearts. Riester met Torres and also met Ora Ya.
When Torres was fifteen years old, Riester became Torres's agent. Torres became a millionaire at the age of seventeen, and Riester took the most credit. Riester and Olami have known each other for so many years.
It's been more than ten years.
"I understand, Lister."
"I'll go to Manchester City Club first. Tell Fernando I'll come over tomorrow."
Torres is Manchester City's top scorer. Manchester City must also be very nervous. Therefore, List is going to visit the Manchester City club and discuss it with Mubarak and Pellegrini.
"Lister, you're here."
When List arrived at the Manchester City club, List saw that Mubarak and Pellegrini didn't look very good. Of course they were very angry. Now Manchester City is performing very well in the Premier League. It is very likely that Manchester City can defend the title.
The Premier League champion. Once they defend the Premier League champion, Manchester City can really slowly get rid of the title of nouveau riche. At such a moment, they actually injured the top scorer. How could the two people not be angry in such a situation.
"I can't come. Have you heard the news from the hospital?"
"Well. It takes half a year to train. It may take seven to eight months to return to full competition condition."
Pellegrini's face was gloomy. With Manchester City's endless financial support, Pellegrini's current lineup is very luxurious. Manchester City's current substitute players can all form a strong Premier League team. Originally, this season
It was going smoothly, and he thought he could easily win the Premier League championship. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Really."
Lister shook his head. Who could have known that Torres would be injured at such an important moment. Pellegrini looked at Lister and said hesitantly: "Lister, we all think that Fernando's injury has been too long. I hope to transfer in the winter."
When we do, bring in a striker to supplement."
Lister frowned after listening to Pellegrini's hesitant words. Manchester City has no shortage of forwards, including Tevez, Dzeko, and Sturridge. However, Torres has been at his peak in recent years.
From Atletico Madrid to Manchester City, his scoring rate has always been very high. In addition, the Spanish national team's performance has been getting better and better in the past two years, and Torres's status in European football has also been very high in recent years. Therefore, they can only play as a substitute.
.
Now Torres is injured, but they are also there. Each of these three people has its own advantages. Tevez has proven himself in the Premier League in recent years, Dzeko was once the top scorer in the Czech First Division and the Bundesliga, and Sturi
Qi is a talented forward trained by Manchester City themselves. At this time, Manchester City should be considering who to replace Torres. How can they prepare to buy a forward?
"Do you want to bring in a main striker?"
"yes."
Mubarak answered and then said: "Manchester City aims to win the Premier League this season and hopes to achieve better results in the Champions League. List, we need top strikers."
Lister did not speak immediately. Manchester City has money and can hoard players at will. But for Torres, this is huge pressure. Manchester City has its own goals and is not short of money. From their standpoint, they are not willing to waste nearly a year.
After waiting for Torres for years, it is better to introduce a player to ensure the team's performance. It is not impossible for List to understand. But it still makes List a little angry.
Torres is only 26 years old. He will only be 27 when he returns to the game. How will the two top forwards be arranged by then? How will Torres, who has just returned from a serious injury, be able to compete with his opponents. A star of Torres's level will not be able to compete if the game does not go well.
, there will definitely be pressure by then. Then it will be a bad cycle.
"Do you have a goal?"
"Yes. But I may need your help."
"explain."
List is not surprised at all. Nowadays, European football is very powerful and there are only a few well-known forwards. Manchester City will definitely not be able to introduce stars from the top clubs. So among the remaining forwards, List has one hand.
You can count them all. And among the remaining top forwards, none of them have anything to do with Riester.
"Suarez from Tottenham, Falcao from Napoli, or Aguero from Atletico Madrid."
"Falcao is here, but he can't play in the Champions League."
Naples has entered the knockout rounds of the Champions League, but Falcao is here but cannot play in the Champions League. And Naples is not short of money, so it is unlikely to let Falcao go in the middle of the season. Even if Falcao is sold, he will only be transferred in the summer.
Among them, instead of choosing a winter transfer.
Neither Tottenham nor Atletico Madrid have entered the Champions League. Tottenham has occasionally risen in the Premier League. But most of the moments are tragic. Because there are too many strong teams in the Premier League, including Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, the three traditional strong teams, as well as Chelsea.
and Manchester City, two upstarts. Unless Tottenham destroys two of their five teams, it will be difficult to get a chance to win the Champions League. Liverpool has been in chaos for a while in the past few years, but this season Liverpool is once again
Having caught up with the team, Tottenham can only continue its tragedy.
Atletico Madrid is very unlucky. Because after they sold Gago, they did not find a core midfielder to replace Gago. Moreover, Atletico Madrid has sold too many people in the past few years. Their performance last season was not very good, and they were eventually replaced by other players.
The club was squeezed out and failed to qualify for the Champions League, which caused problems with Bianchi's coaching position. Although it has regained some strength this season, its results are still not that optimistic.
"Yes. Because we are considering Suarez and Aguero."
"Are you interested in Suarez?"
"right."
Mubarak nodded. Pellegrini next to him said: "Suarez performed very well at Tottenham, and he adapted to the Premier League environment. Although Aguero performed well at Atletico Madrid, he has never played in the Premier League after all.
.Suarez is capable of fighting and will not affect our results this season. It is our biggest goal."
List has some hesitations. In a club like Manchester City, hoarding Torres and Suarez is too luxurious, and it is not just cannibalism.
What will happen to Rist a year later? Torres and Suarez compete for the main position. Who will Rist help then? Even if Torres wants to leave, there are several clubs that can accept him. After all, Torres has a weekly salary of 220,000 pounds.
, which is more than 6 million euros after tax. In the current European football world, only the two giants of the Spanish Super League, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, can offer such a high salary. Apart from them, it is difficult for any club to offer such a high salary.
salary.
List thought for a while, if Aguero came, he would be passive in the future. Aguero is a player of IMG Entertainment, one of the giants in world sports, although List is not afraid of IMG at all in football.
Company. List is a giant in the world of football. IMG has a great influence in other aspects of sports, but it is not List’s opponent in football. But no matter how you say IMG is a giant in the sports world, is List not
They are willing to let IMG intervene in Manchester City's affairs. Once Torres cannot compete with Aguero, then List's special interests in Manchester City will be affected.
Compared to Aguero, Suarez seems to be better. After all, both of them are their own players, and List will be easy to handle if something happens. If it doesn't work, just let another transfer happen. Which one to transfer?
Yes, Riester also has room for maneuver. So Riester finally nodded slowly and said: "Louis, it's not cheap."
