"Mr. Shijie is."

In '02, the Footballer of the Year selection was very interesting. December 17 is the European Footballer of the Year ceremony, while December 18 is the Shijie Footballer of the Year ceremony. The two award ceremonies are one day apart. This was rarely the case at subsequent award ceremonies, but it was the case in '02.

The award ceremony for the European Ballon d'Or was held in Paris, while the award ceremony for Shijie Footballer of the Year was held in Madrid. Before this, Rist did not get the slightest hint from FIFA, and Rist and FIFA did not have any very good relationship. Without getting a hint from FIFA, Lister knew that Nedved was impossible. Whether it is the European Ballon d'Or or Shijie Footballer of the Year, the winning players will basically be notified before the award ceremony.

Because it was just the next day, neither Rist nor Nedved had time to celebrate the European Ballon d'Or. Although the result of Shijie Footballer came out was also expected by Lister, Lister was still very angry. Ronaldo actually scored 362 points, while Nedved only had 189 points, which was more than 170 points worse than Ronaldo. This result made Rist very angry.

Shijie Footballer has a bit of a lag and likes to pick some big-name players, which Riester has known for a long time. The authority of Shijie Footballer is very poor, and it is far less than the European Ballon d'Or. In '02 Ronaldo played only seventeen club games and thirteen international games. In that year, Ronaldo scored eleven goals for the national team, more than he scored at the club. Ronaldo didn't play much club games in '02 due to injury.

It can be said that in terms of the competition throughout the year. If Ronaldo hadn't scored eight goals in the Shijie Cup, he wouldn't have performed as well as Zinedine Zidane and Carlos. What's more, Nedved, who is better than Ronaldo in both the Shijie Cup and the club. Of course, Ronaldo's eight goals in the Shijie Cup are indeed amazing, and it is not surprising to win Shijie Footballer of the Year. To Lister's surprise, Ronaldo's lead was too big, how could he lead Nedved by more than 170 points.

"Hehe, Riester. It's not once or twice, Mr. Shijie has always been. Nedved has a European Ballon d'Or award, which is far more valuable than Shijie Footballer. ”

Rist arrives in Madrid and is greeted by Marc. Roger. Although this person has a bad reputation in this circle, he is completely notorious. But after Rist dealt with him. The relationship between the two is good. Because there is no conflict of interest between the two people. On the contrary, when negotiating with the club, two people can work together.

In fact, Rist admires Mark very much. Roger's. Although this person is notorious in the football world, this person's kung fu is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Just like in history, for the sake of Makelele, he had a stalemate with Real Madrid. At that time, he quarreled with Baldano and Florentino every day. Eventually, he left Real Madrid with Makelele. Joined Chelsea. But after such a big thing. Mark. Roger did not fall out with Florentino completely, but continued to work as an advisor to Real Madrid's Florentino team. Even after Florentino's resignation, he left Mark. Roger went on to serve Real Madrid. Able to sin like this after Florentino. He is the only agent who can still get Florentino's trust in Shijie football. Lister can't learn this kind of skill.

"Mark, I heard you recently bought a Swiss club?"

"Yes."

"Why are you going to change careers?"

Powerful agents abound in European football. It's just that a lot of people are so low-key that there are a lot of people in football who aren't familiar with them. It's like Pini. Zahavi, a lot of people don't know him. If it weren't for Pini. Zahavi has twice allowed Rio Ferdinand to make a record transfer, and even many in English football do not know Pini. Zahavi. But his strength is intimidating to many people. Pinny. Zahavi is a truly top broker.

European football like Pini. Zahavi is such a low-key, but powerful agent. They rarely argue with people, and they don't even have much friction with the club. They are all just quietly doing business, and their fame does not seem to be big at all, but their strength is strong.

And Mark. Roger is different from them. This person has a bad reputation, and many people say that he is an agent who does anything for money. A lot of people despise him, but what a lot of people don't understand is Mark. Roger is also a real powerhouse. The net worth is more than 30 million euros, which is the highest among agents in European football. And this person has a huge influence in French football, and many French agents are willing to cooperate with him.

"It's not enough to change careers. Don't you have several clubs as well? Do you want to change careers too? ”

"Huh."

Rist smiled. Mark. Roger doesn't have to do anything, and now he can get millions of euros a year as a consultant to Real Madrid. However, Rist couldn't help but say: "Mark, there aren't many good players in Switzerland. You've been wronged with all your money. It's better to vote for clubs in the Netherlands and France. ”

"On a whim, on a whim."

Mark. Roger said it lightly, but Rist knew it wouldn't be that simple. Mark. Who is Roger, the most shrewd one in the circle of agents. How could it be possible to buy a club on a whim, but Rist didn't ask deeply. Everyone has their own secrets, so why bother to know.

"That's right, Mark. You must have something to do with me, just tell me quickly. ”

Rist didn't believe Mark. Roger would be so kind to take Rist, and then arrange such a luxurious suite for Rist. Although Rist and Mark. Roger's personal relationship was okay, but definitely not that good.

"You're a guess. Do you know what Claude's current salary is at Real Madrid? ”

"Two million?"

"An annual salary of 1.2 million."

Said when Mark. Roger was dissatisfied, completely indignant. At present, Real Madrid's salary is relatively high, let's talk about a few high-paid people like Raul, Ronaldo, and Zidane, whose annual salary is more than 6 million euros, and even some other things can reach 8 million euros. Makelele, as Real Madrid's main defender, has an annual salary of only 1.2 million euros, how can he be satisfied.

"It's low, it's too low. It does not conform to the identity of Real Madrid, the first wealthy family in Shijie. With Claude's strength, he should have received a salary of more than three million euros, even four million euros is not a small amount. ”

Rist can only follow Mark. Roger's words continued. Of course, Rist also has some sympathy for Makelele in his heart, Real Madrid is really too much. Claude Makelele is very important in Real Madrid's tactics, but his salary is the lowest salary at Real Madrid.

"Rist, Claude will soon be thirty years old. I can't let him continue to get paid. I know you have a good relationship with a Premier League club and you know I don't have a good reputation in the Premier League. I hope you can help me put pressure on Real Madrid. ”

Mark. Roger is stirring up trouble in England, and the clubs he offends are not one or two. It was Arsenal who offended the most, and because his reputation in English football was too bad, many clubs shunned him. But now the rich clubs in European football are all Premier League clubs, and Premier League clubs have the money to buy players.

Mark. Roger didn't think about letting Makelle leave Real Madrid, after all, this is Real Madrid. But with an annual salary of 1.2 million euros, Real Madrid is not only slapping Makelele in the face, but also beating Mark. Roger's face. If Mark. Roger had no way to help Makelele fight for his interests. Roger has the face to continue walking in this line of work in the future.

Don't underestimate the benefits of just one player. Makelele is a player for Real Madrid, and Real Madrid's influence has grown as the superstar policy has been carried out. The things about Makelle will make a lot of people watch. Mark. Roger must not back down, and if he does, his previous reputation will be ruined. Mark. Roger thought for a long time and decided that the only clubs that are qualified to put pressure on Real Madrid now are the Premier League powerhouses. And in the Premier League, Rister is definitely strong, so he found Lister.

"Mark, it's the little things. But not now, you should wait until next summer. Rest assured, I will definitely create a situation where all the Premier League giants are interested in Claude. Definitely give you a shout-out. ”

Rist knows next summer will be when Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich arrives at Chelsea. When the time comes, the deep-pocketed Abramovich will make an offer to Makelele, and there is no need for Rist to be anxious. This kind of favor was done, and Rist didn't have a burden at all.

Hearing Lister's answer so painfully, Mark. Roger was very happy and said, "Xiexie, Lister. This time it became your love, and you can come to me at any time if you have something in the future. ”

Mark. Roger was very bold, and Rist nodded as he listened. In the broker circle, there are unspoken rules that belong to them, and there are rules that they must follow. It doesn't matter how you act, or even whatever your reputation. It's like a favor, you owe a favor and you have to pay it back. If someone owes a favor and does not pay it back, then he will overdraw his integrity. No one will believe you after that.

Therefore, the agent can pit your own players, you can also pit the club, and of course, you can also pit the agent. But if you receive favors from players, clubs, and agents, but you don't pay for them, then you will be despised by the whole football world. So many people would rather owe money than absolutely owe favors.

Rist is happy to let Mark. Roger owes himself a favor. Because Mark. Roger is very well-connected and very strong in European football, especially in French football. Good players in French football have been carved up at too young age, so Rister needs to be like Marc. Agents like Roger help.

"Mark, I remember your words. Don't bother you if I bother you in the future. (To be continued......)
