The man in front of me is the legendary Czech football forward Zdenek Nehoda.
Lister was also a fan of this team when he was a child.
His influence in the Czech Republic was so great that he was an idol among Czech fans.
Lister was also influenced by his childhood, and he was very enthusiastic when facing Nehoda. This impression left in his childhood, his childhood idol, will also have a lot of influence on Lister who is almost thirty years old.
Keeping in good shape.
The 44-year-old Nehoda has not gained weight like many retired players.
On the contrary, he looks like an athlete.
Dressed very formally.
When I was a kid, I was used to seeing him playing football, but now I feel a little uncomfortable seeing him wearing a suit.
"Hello, Mr. Cherny."
Nehoda smiled slightly.
Lister didn't like that smile.
Because that smile gives off a feeling of being in control. If it were an opponent, List would be very annoying. But since he came here to seek cooperation, List automatically filtered out his own discomfort.
"Mr. Nehoda, I was a fan of yours when I was a kid. With all due respect, with your connections in Czech football, I believe you won't have any difficulty becoming a football agent. You can even open an agency.
It’s also easy, why did you come to our company?”
Riester went straight to the point.
There are several categories of football agents today.
One is retired players, the other is relying on family connections like List, the other is the players' relatives and friends, and the last one is the agent with a professional background.
Among these people, agents with professional background are the most professional.
But speaking of agents with a professional background, they are not loved by players.
Although agents with a professional background are more professional than agents with a more professional background, players do not like agents with a professional background.
They prefer agents like Nehoda.
When retired players serve as agents, they will be closer psychologically.
And the important thing is retired players, they have a lot of connections.
Although his professional abilities are not as good as those with a professional background, in other aspects he is superior to those with a professional background.
Just like Riester and Hanush.
If Lister didn't have the support of his family, the players would definitely like Hanush more than Lister. Lister understands this.
Look at Nehoda.
With his connections in Czech football and the reputation he accumulated during his playing days, as long as he is willing, there will be countless Czech players willing to be his players.
He is qualified to open his own brokerage company.
And there is no fear of lack of players.
How could he be willing to work for List as his agent?
Faced with Lister's straightforward approach, Nehoda did not hesitate. Nehoda himself is a player and has a low level of education. Therefore, he also likes to be straightforward.
He said very directly: "Because I am late. The Czech player market has been divided up, and the good players have been monopolized by your company and Pascal. You have Sparta Prague, and Pascal has Slavia Prague."
, I don’t have any competitive ability.”
Very frank.
In fact, not just one or two people were stimulated by this European Cup.
Compared to Pascal, Nehoda's ability and vision are average.
Really average.
In the current Czech football world, there are absolutely very few players who surpass Pascal in terms of ability.
Pascal had already set his sights on the big cake of agents two years ago. If it weren't for Riester, Pascal would have had a real monopoly on Czech players.
But Nehoda only started paying attention to the industry after the Boseman Act was enacted.
Nehoda is inferior to Pascal in terms of vision.
It is a pity that at that time, the good players in Czech football were already monopolized by Riester and Pascal.
The pattern is set.
There is no place for him to intervene.
If he forced his way in, List and Pascal would not embarrass him because of Nehoda's position in the history of Czech football. But good players no longer have Nehoda's share.
Nehoda was unwilling to give in.
With his status in Czech football, he was unwilling to pick up a few ordinary players as his agent.
Those players had limited success.
In the future, it will only be about being prestigious in the Czech Republic.
So he waited for half a year.
Unexpectedly, Czech football is so popular.
The European Cup brought Czech football to the sky.
Nehoda once again had this idea in mind. This time he carefully analyzed Lister's company and Pascal, and finally chose Lister.
"Mr. Cerny, just half a year ago Pascal was still firmly suppressing your company. But half a year later, that is, after the European Cup, your company has begun to exert its strength. Smicer and Borg are both Czech geniuses.
But now it seems that it is not as good as the development of Nedved and Boboski."
Smicer and Borg.
These are two players who grew up as geniuses.
When they were eighteen or nineteen years old, they were already very famous. However, Boboski and Nedvěd, who were one year older than them, did not start to gain a foothold in Czech football until they were about twenty-two years old.
But things are different this summer.
After Borg moved to Dortmund last season, he did not become Dortmund's main player. Fortunately, he was spotted by Liverpool during the European Cup.
Smicer was spotted by Ligue 1 club Lens.
Compared with them, Nedved and Boboski went to Serie A and La Liga, and they are both strong teams in the two leagues.
The transfer fees also exceeded US$6 million.
The market is promising.
"If I want to enter this industry, I can only choose your company or Pascal's company. I still think your company has more development."
Nehoda is very direct.
direct.
Riester likes it.
Lister had never been sure what Nehoda meant. Now that he was so direct, Lister felt relieved.
Nehoda is a great god.
The real Czech football great.
"Mr. Nehoda, I am extremely honored that you want to come to our company. But do you really want to be an agent?"
Nehoda nodded.
"kindness."
Riester smiled.
In fact, Lister didn't believe it at all.
Who is Nehoda?
With his influence in Czech football, it is impossible for List to deal with him blatantly. Even if he is an agent himself, he can do well.
But why did he come to Riester's company?
In Lister's company, being an agent can expand your network. With Lister's big tree behind you, you can have more players. And there is enough guarantee.
But that's it.
People who want to grow and are ambitious will not join Lister's agency.
It is true that Nehoda is not as capable as Pascal, and he is not as good as Pascal in many other aspects. But based on Nehoda's prestige in Czech football, he cannot be willing to succumb to it.
Riester thought about it before he came.
Also discussed with Hanush.
Nehoda has been too brilliant in the past, and List and Hanush will not let him be just an ordinary agent.
So he smiled and said: "Mr. Nehoda, asking you to come and be an ordinary agent for me is too humiliating. David and I have discussed that with your connections in Czech football, our company would like to invite you
Serve as the person in charge of external affairs of our company. Coordinate the communication between our company and the Czech football community."
Just about to use it on the edge of a knife.
Nehoda's huge network of contacts is what List values most.
As List's influence in Czech football grows, List will have to deal with the national team, various clubs and the top management of the Football Association in the future.
There are some things that Lister doesn't want to do personally, or it's difficult for him to do it in person.
Nehoda is a very suitable candidate when the time comes.
I know a lot of people from top to bottom.
Riester had never been able to find talents in this field before, so Riester had always done it himself.
Having Nehoda is so much more powerful.
Hearing List's words, Nehoda smiled slightly. Nehoda did not come here for an ordinary agent position.
He can't be like those small agents at List Agency.
He was very satisfied with Rist's statement.
So he said directly: "Mr. Cherny, then I will be disrespectful."
