"Manuel, tell me directly. Does Fernando still have a chance?"
There are more players, that's it. The players on the other side performed very well, which made Liester very satisfied. Just like the renewal of Gotze's contract was just completed, and many of his sponsorship contracts were improved. Let Gotze, who is only 19 years old, become a
He has become one of the very high-income earners in European football. As Riester turned Gotze into a new generation leader in Germany, his income has also increased sharply. This year's income is at least over 10 million euros.
But there are problems with some players on the other side. Now the players of List are developing well, but there is one player who gives List a headache. That is Torres, who made a lot of money for List back then.
Among the many stars of Leicester, Torres' contribution to Leicester can definitely be ranked in the top ten. Unlike many other players owned by Leicester, Torres has brought Leicester completely through commission and salary sharing.
Huge income. In order to keep Torres, Atletico Madrid paid Rist more than 10 million euros in commission in those years. Plus the share of salary and advertising revenue, Rist earned a lot from Torres in a short period of time.
No less than 20 million euros. Not to mention when it comes to Manchester City. In order for Manchester City to introduce a star of Torres's level, List got even more money from Manchester City.
And Rist is able to have such a big influence in Atletico Madrid now because of Torres. Therefore, Rist has feelings for Torres and sincerely thinks about him. Torres had already recovered in August last year.
Training. In October, he was already able to play. However, Torres, who had recovered, lost his original murderous spirit. Anyway, his performance in the past half of the season was not very good.
"He still has strength."
For the matter of Torres, Riester directly found Pellegrini. After all, he is his own coach and his own player, and he is very easy to communicate with. Torres is also a very important player for Pellegrini. At the time, Pellegrini
Rini has just taken charge of Manchester City, and Torres's contribution has been very significant.
"After returning from injury, although his explosive power and speed were affected, he actually recovered well, much better than expected. If he can calm down, he still has his own place in Manchester City."
Lister smiled. Although he was one of his own, Pellegrini did not answer Lister directly. Instead, he told Lister in a roundabout way. If Torres accepts his current status, he can safely substitute Suarez for Manchester City.
, are very good things for Torres.
For Pellegrini, Torres and Suarez are completely different styles of players. Together with Dzeko, Manchester City's forwards each have their own characteristics. Of course, Suarez is the absolute main force. Torres has to accept his current substitute position.
"Manuel, your idea is good. But Fernando doesn't think so, and neither does Mubarak."
For a head coach like Pellegrini, the more good players the better, and the more players with different styles the better. But for the players and the club this is impossible.
Players are not machines. Torres, for example, grew up with applause. He was the top scorer in La Liga at Atletico Madrid and the top scorer in the Premier League at Manchester City. At Atletico Madrid, he was the golden boy, and later he was the prince. At Manchester City, he was the top scorer.
He is the number one star, the number one contributor to Manchester City's championship. How can such a player accept being a substitute? If Torres were thirty-three or four years old, there would be no problem, but now Torres is only twenty-eight, which is the golden age.
Then there is Mubarak. Although Manchester City is a top tycoon and has a lot of money, under the European Football Financial Fair Play policy, they are doing their best to reduce expenses.
Torres's current salary is 220,000 pounds per week, which means that Manchester City has to pay more than 10 million pounds in salary for Torres every year. If this amount of money was the previous Torres, there would be no problem, but for Manchester City to use such a high salary
They are also under pressure to support the substitute forwards with their salary.
"Manuel, give me your advice. If Fernando leaves Manchester City, can he regain his original strength?"
"The biggest problem with Fernando is that he is not a center player like Drogba of Chelsea. Fernando cannot play as a lone forward with the ball behind his back. He needs specific tactics, and tactics need to allow him to use his explosive power and speed. This injury is extremely
The earth has affected his explosive power and speed. But as long as Fernando doesn't rush and finds a club that doesn't put too much pressure on him, even if he can't return to his peak, he can still maintain his world-class level."
Riester did not speak, because Pellegrini had already told Riester tactfully. Torres' serious injury this time had a huge impact on his career, and he would never be able to return to his original peak.
"I understand what you mean."
Lister's idea is simple. Since Torres cannot reach a higher peak in his career, Lister must consider other factors for him. There is only one biggest one, and that is Torres' income.
Either career or income. Being a player is for these two reasons. If someone says that being a player is for fun, this player is talking nonsense.
After Lister finished talking to Pellegrini, he immediately started negotiating with Manchester City's senior management. It should be said that it was not a negotiation, but an exchange. Lister had several exchanges with Mubarak about Torres. Mubarak
Luck's meaning is very simple. Manchester City is grateful for Torres' contribution. But Torres' current situation, the weekly salary of 220,000 pounds is really too high. Moreover, there are a lot of additional clauses in the contract, which makes Manchester City's
The burden is heavy. Manchester City hopes to renegotiate with Torres and lower the contract amount slightly.
Mubarak still did not say anything for the sake of List. But List was not a fool and understood what he meant. Mubarak wanted Torres to leave. But no matter what Torres said, Manchester City rose to prominence.
Because of the meritorious service and Rist, Mubarak was so euphemistic.
Leicester has already started looking for the next club, but it is really difficult. The difficulty lies in Torres's salary. A weekly salary of 220,000 pounds is not something that can be obtained by just any club. If it is
Clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Chelsea are willing to offer Torres, who is 24 or 5 years old, but things are different now.
Being unable to solve Torres's problem has made List quite distressed during this period.
…………
"Why, you haven't found the whereabouts of Torres yet?"
"After all, it's all about money."
Based on Torres' past reputation, it would have been no problem to find a good club. Unfortunately, all the problems were stuck in money. Riester did not want to lower Torres' salary, so he could not find the next club.
"Your demands are too high."
"It's not that I'm demanding. If it's another agent, you can rely on Manchester City. Wouldn't Manchester City give you money? But I have too much cooperation with Manchester City and I can't fall out with them. But I can't harm Fernando's interests either.
But there is always a way. Don’t be in a hurry. If it doesn’t work out, it would be a good idea to let Fernando out on loan. By the way, why do you have time to find me today?”
Riester was busy with Torres, but he met Pini Zahavi. Riester was promoting Torres all over the world. Fans outside did not know, but Pini Zahavi knew it clearly.
"I came to you about the Chelsea manager."
"Chelsea manager?"
After Villas-Boas was fired, Chelsea hired Di Matteo as the interim head coach. After Di Matteo became the interim head coach, he immediately overturned everything about Villas-Boas and started playing the original game again.
Law.
The results began to stabilize. But Abramovich did not like Di Matteo. First of all, Di Matteo was too little famous. He was not a good coach in Abramovich's heart. Then there was Di Matteo's performance.
France is too ugly, much uglier than Mourinho's time. Abramovich, who has always wanted to make Chelsea a good-looking team like Barcelona and Arsenal, doesn't like Di Matteo even more.
"What, Pini? You don't want Diego, do you?"
Chelsea likes Simeone. They have contacted Simeone's agent several times. However, Simeone has always refused. Liverpool is developing very well now. Unless invited by clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern, and Barcelona, Simeone
Only then would he be tempted. Chelsea is currently in a recession, and it is the time for new and old to take over, so Simeone is not interested.
"Roman likes Simeone very much, but I know it's impossible. I'm not looking for you for Simeone, but for Coach Rogers of Tottenham."
"Why would Brendan Abramovich be interested in him?"
Rogers became famous at Southampton and then came to Tottenham. He also performed well at Tottenham. Taking advantage of the current chaos in the Premier League, he seized a position in the top four. Among the current top teams in the Premier League are Chelsea and Arsenal.
Falling behind, they all performed very poorly at the beginning of the season, so their current results are not good.
"Nice play."
"hehe."
Lister shook his head. Among the current top teams in the Premier League, apart from Arsenal, Tottenham are the most beautiful to play. Tottenham have historically been a team that likes beautiful play. After Rogers took over, Tottenham's
The way of playing is even better.
"Pini, I will consider Chelsea's invitation carefully. But currently Di Matteo's performance is good, why bother to fire him in such a hurry. It would be better to give him some time to prove."
Chelsea currently have many veterans, and Lister is not willing to let Rogers offend others. The best way is for Chelsea to purge its veterans this summer, and then Rogers joins Chelsea. And the only one who can complete this important task is Di Matteo.
Although Riester despises Villas-Boas's suppression of veterans, this idea is correct. People including Drogba, Anelka, and Malouda are old and can be purged. Only these veterans
Only if they all leave or become honest can the new coach be able to flourish at Chelsea.
"Pini, Di Matteo is doing a good job so far. Give him some time, and if it doesn't work, then change the coach."
"What you said makes sense." (To be continued...)
ps: Sorry, I have been in the hospital for injectable fluids for the past two days due to a bad stomach. The main reason is that I drank too much alcohol some time ago, which seriously affected the gastric function. I have no energy and cannot eat anything.
