"Riester, your name is so loud. John told me that there's nothing you can't do in European football. ”

"Danielle, John has won the prize."

Rist replied modestly, but continued, "Nothing but ...... The main reason is that I have been mixing in European football for a long time, so many people in European football can still give some face, and they can still run errands for ordinary small things. ”

"Huh. Who would dare you run errands in European football. ”

Thomas. Di Benedetto is the new owner who has just entered Roma. Originally, he came to Rome and had nothing to do with Lister, and Lister did not know the boss. Rist's eyes are now on a few nouveau riche, and your American boss with little money is not in Rist's eyes. Picking up his own family, the current American owner in European football does not have Listerdo.

But things are always so coincidental. Thomas. It is true that Di Benedetto did not know Rist before, but Di Benedetto is one of the shareholders of Fenway Group. And the Fenway Group has a major shareholder who has just joined Liverpool. Henry. That is to say, John. Henry and Di Benedetto are collaborators, and the cooperation between the two sides is very good. Even now, the two of them still cooperate in business. It was through this network that Lister passed through John. Thierry Henry, got to know Roma's new owner, Di Benedetto.

When Riester was at the height of Serie A, he failed to catch up with the prosperity of Serie A because of his own weakness. And when Serie A began to decline, it was because of the fear of the Juventus forces of Serie A, that is, the forces of Mogi. So there was no option to enter Serie A. It wasn't until Serie A really fell that Rist began to cooperate with Serie A. Including the partnership with Napoli and the partnership with Inter.

Now Lister is ready to work with Rome. Serie A is declining faster than La Liga because Serie A clubs don't even have their own stadiums. In the coming years, Serie A will become a base for other leagues. Not to mention the Premier League, La Liga, even the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 are poaching people in Serie A. Therefore, Riester is ready to develop young players in Serie A.

"Danielle, John told me that you like young people."

"Yes."

Di Benedetto was a stranger, if not John. Henry's relationship will not get together. It's unclear what his style of doing is Lister. But John. Henry told Rist. Di Benedetto wants Roma to be younger.

"Of course, I'm not saying that the team should be young. Rather, we hope to gradually renew the age of the club. ”

Reesette nodded. At the moment, Roma players are not as old as those in a retirement home like Milan, but there are many older ones. There are several main players over the age of thirty. So it's understandable that Di Benedetto wants to do some rejuvenation.

"Danielle, you and John are collaborators. Then I'll be bold enough to say it. Roma finished runners-up last season. But it's just because Milan is in decline, Juventus is in turmoil, and Napoli has a problem. That's why I was able to get the runner-up. But Juventus will recover sooner or later, and Napoli's strength is also growing every season, compared to them, Roma is not superior. The goalkeeper position was ok. I'll start with Roma's backline. ”

Although Rist is in his own interest, he will also calculate the club. But Rist never counts the club when it comes to players. Every time Rist works with a club, he carefully studies the issues that need to be partnered with clubs. Therefore, the players recommended to them are also the players who are suitable for them. In terms of player sales, Rist can basically pat his chest and ensure that he has a good conscience. It is precisely because of this that Lister currently has a very good reputation in European football. Even if Sparta Prague has expensive players, those clubs will not dislike it, because the players recommended by Lister are basically guaranteed.

This time he was going to work with Roma, and Lister also knew their club carefully. Of course, Rist's company had enough information to analyze Rome, and Rist had only studied it carefully before coming.

'Let's start at centre-back. Roma's combination of Burdisso and Mexes last season was good overall, and Juan could have been on the bench as well. I heard that Roma are talking about Burdisso's transfer, and it's good to take it. Left-back Riser and right-back Cassetti are also old and strong, and they can still use it for a year or two. ”

If Rist had been recommended by other wealthy or nouveau riche chairmen, he wouldn't have said that. In fact, Roma's defensive line is okay, and it is too different from the giants. It's just that the Roman boss is an American boss, and Rist has never had much of a good impression of the American boss. They're definitely not going to invest a lot of money.

Although Di Benedetto said that he wanted to invest, he even said that he wanted to build a new stadium when he came to Rome, and he wanted to bring in more than five outstanding players this season. But Rist wouldn't think he really invested a lot of money. Even if he is younger, in Lister's opinion, it is not for good grades, but for being able to sell for a good price in the future. That's why it's okay to evaluate Roma's backline.

Just before the talks with Roma, Rist had just met with Napoli boss De Laurentiis. De Laurentiis is now very happy with the quality of his midfield and has started to improve his backline. He has already brought in twenty-nine-year-old left-back Dosena from Liverpool for five million euros. However, the reason for seeing Lister is that he wants to bring in an excellent centre-back.

Napoli have their eye on Sparta Prague's centre-back Benatia. Benatia, who is now twenty-three, is very low-key in Sparta Prague. Even in the game, Subertic was more in the limelight, but everyone knows that Benatia is a very good one in the defense of Sparta Prague. Benatia's performance can be represented in one word, stable.

De Laurentiis is really going to build a great Napoli. That's why he spent a lot of money on reinforcements and fell in love with Benatia. In the end, he threw out 19 million euros and brought in Benatia from Sparta Prague.

"Let's talk about the midfield. Roma's midfield is relatively strong, especially De Rossi and Pizarro are a good pairing. However, I have heard that Mane is going to move, so it would be better for Roma to bring in a strong attacking left-sided player. ”

Mane was transferred and taken away by the deep-pocketed Paris Saint-Germain. Mane has had a good season at Roma in the past two seasons, but his development as one of the four little swans has not been smooth. However, in order to attract the support of local fans, Paris Saint-Germain spent a lot of money to bring in Matuidi, and now they want to bring in Mane.

"Yes. 23 million euros. ”

Di Benedetto said there was a wry smile when he said about the transfer. Although he is an American owner and is not very familiar with football, he also knows that selling Mane as soon as he arrives in Rome will be harmful to him. Originally, he wanted to keep Mene, but unfortunately Paris Saint-Germain, a group of nouveau riche, directly gave Mane an annual salary of nearly 3 million euros after tax. Such an annual salary is not affordable in Rome.

"An attacking player on the left, I'll introduce you to one. The king of Ligue 1 and the left-sided genius of Marseille. Last season's Ligue 1 side scored 13 goals and provided a number of assists. Gervinho, a young talent from Côte d'Ivoire. Although there is a problem that the shooting is not very good, the passing ability is still very top-notch. ”

The 23-year-old Gervinho is definitely one of the most incredible in European football at the moment. Although there are some problems with passing and shooting, so it has been criticized a little. But in an attacking team like Roma, Gervinho is definitely an excellent breaking point. If you can really play out, you can also find a good club to transfer in the future.

Because Rist and Roma have never worked together, there is no strength in the Roma team. So from the beginning of the cooperation, Rist had to send his players to Rome.

"Let's talk about the current Roma attack. What should Vucinizi say about this player? It's balanced in all aspects, but it's not very prominent, and the ability to grasp the front of the door is too poor. That's all he has achieved in this life, and there will be no more improvements. His current level is his highest achievement. I suggest that his current market is okay, and it is better to make a move quickly. ”

Vucinitzi is a player whose talent cannot be said to be poor, but he is not top-notch. At most, it is to be able to become the main force of a strong team and be a main substitute in a big club. There will be no more development. Fortunately, Vučinić's current market is okay, and his value is not low, so this is a good opportunity to sell him.

"If you want a stable transition to a new generation, you need a good striker. A player who can fight. Last season's Serie A top scorer Di Natale was good. Although he is old, he is already thirty-two years old. But he is a player who gets older and stronger, and Roma can sign him to a short-term contract of two years. In two years, the results are guaranteed and there is enough time to find a young player to replace him. ”

Rist is not at all concerned and completely stuffs his players in. Rist is all recommended by conscience, although he is his own player, Rist is above board. Because they're all strong players. So Rist wasn't embarrassed in the slightest.

"Yes."

Di Benedetto listened to Rist's words and understood in his heart. Rister recommends all his own players. But he doesn't care about this, what he cares about is whether the players recommended by Lister are really good. As long as the players are good enough, he is willing to work with Lister.

"For the coach of Roma......

"I can't say that. After all, the coach of Roma is Claudio Ranieri now, and I can't say anything. But if you need a new coach in the future, you can observe the current head coach of Lille in Ligue 1, Rudy. Garcia, this coach is good. ”

"Okay." (To be continued......)
