555 Sabri's Troubles
"Good, Teshiki."
After Rist put down the phone, a smile finally appeared on his face. Barcelona finally couldn't help it. And Begilistan himself is much more sensible than Real Madrid's Busero.
Busero, a fool who doesn't know the height of the sky, even asked Lister to go to Madrid to meet him, and he didn't weigh himself. After exchanging a few words with Rist, Begilestan asks where Rist is at the moment. He said that he had something to do with Rist, and he hoped that Rist would take some time. When it comes to these etiquettes, Bucero, a bastard-born fool, doesn't understand them at all.
You respect me a foot, I respect you a foot. Since Begilistan gave Lister face, Rister should also give him face. So Lister said that there was time tomorrow, and everyone could meet.
"Who."
"BarΓ§a sporting director Begilstan."
"Messi?"
"Yes."
After entering 2007, several big things in a row kept Riester busy. First of all, the UEFA presidential election made Rist nervous for a while. Then Rist began to run around the football arena of Eastern, Central and Nordic countries, constantly building his own relationships. Then it was to help Atletico run away from the Esterima Dura club, and to meet Alves' agent Jose. Baxter.
Rist doesn't promise easily, but as long as he does, he will definitely get things done. It's not that Rist himself is honest, but that Rist has to do so if he wants to develop in this industry. Only with enough integrity can Rist be able to gain the trust of the football club. Atletico Madrid wanted to strengthen themselves and took a fancy to Alves. Rist helps with errands. will do the best thing.
For the Estrimadura club, Alves sells to whom it is not sold, as long as there is enough money there is no problem. They only care about who pays the most money. But Jose. Buster, on the other hand, thinks more.
When Rist snatched Alves from Sevilla a few years ago, Jose. Buster is still just a down-and-out little agent. But in the past two years, with Alves' outstanding performance, his confidence has become more and more sufficient. He has always hoped to bring Alves to join the giants, but it is not good for him not to give face when Rist comes.
Of course, Rist didn't force him either. Rist just analysed him and told him that Atletico was just a springboard. Now Atletico are strong, and with Atletico performing well in the Champions League, they will be able to attract the attention of more giants and have more options.
Except for the Alves thing. Rist put all the focus on Messi. People are aesthetically fatigued. Stretching too long is not good for the player. Messi will soon be twenty years old, and if he continues to stay in the Eredivisie, then it is easy to think that his reputation is blown, which is not good for his development. It's time for him to get out there.
But the more this time. The more Rist can't afford to be in a hurry on his own. Rist has to hold on. Let those clubs be in a hurry. Therefore, Rist seems to outsiders to be a good man. Walk around. At the moment Riester is in Germany and has watched a few Dortmund games. Jurgen Klopp has the ability, a team that is scattered. After this season's adjustments, they are currently in sixth place in the Bundesliga.
Now that he has come to Dortmund, Lister has also joined his friend Astor Ast. Sabri meets.
"When I first saw Messi seven years ago, I just thought this kid was shy. I didn't expect such an achievement. β
Sabri shook his head, really impressed by Rister's vision. When Rist brought Messi, who was less than 12 years old, to Germany for treatment, who would have thought that he would now become one of the hottest stars in European football.
"Huh. Astor, you only see my players becoming talented, but you don't see how many young players I have died. There is one Leo among dozens or hundreds of people, and this is the secret of success. β
Although Rist has historical memories, to the point where Rist is now, he is no longer just living on history. As the No. 1 agent in world football, Rist dedicates millions of euros every year to discover teenage children. And as long as one of the ten children found by Rist can play in the top league in the future, then Rist will earn it. The remaining nine are very sorry, and they can only do what they have to do.
This has become a cycle. If Rist wants to stay in his current position for a long time, he will have to make a big investment. Invest in small players on a large scale, and then develop talented people who can succeed from them. If, as at the beginning, a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, the future position of Rist is in doubt.
"You're always so cold."
Everyone is getting older, and Sabri is less energetic. However, his personality is a little soft, and this has not changed at all.
"Assi, I'm not cold, I'm calm. Those who do our job should be calm, too much emotion is not good for us. β
Sabri smiled and did not refute Rist's words. The two have different styles of doing things in the broker industry, and they are both stubborn people. It is impossible to convince the other party.
"Lister, there's one thing I don't know what to do. I was going to give you a call, but you came over. β
"I'll listen."
"It's Mesut's business."
Rist listened quietly to Sabri's words. It turns out that Mesut Ozil has played at Schalke 04 since last season and has played quite a few times this season. As a Schalke academy player, Mesut Ozil is still very well-known among Schalke fans. Schalke 04's former head coach Rangnick admired Ozil very much, and even assured Ozil that after Lincoln left Schalke this season, he would hand over Schalke's number 10 shirt to Ozil. Rangnick's assurance, Schalke's hierarchy also agreed, willing to leave the number 10 shirt for Ozil.
However, Rangnick's results in Schalke were average, and he was fired by Schalke at the beginning of January this year. Replacing Rangnick as Schalke 04 head coach is Rangnick's assistant coach Slomka.
Slomka is also a coach who likes to promote young players, and at just 38 years old, he is also a young coach in the Bundesliga. Like Rangnick, he is an academy coach. Once a prince and a courtier, Rangnick liked Ozil, but Slomka didn't like Ozil as much as Rangnick. This made Ozil's situation somewhat awkward.
Ozil was already eighteen years old, and soon to be nineteen. At this age he needs to play the most, but at Schalkslomka he didn't get much of a chance. And Slomka started out as just a firefighting coach, but he didn't expect Schalke to do quite well, even better than Rangnick last season. Therefore, Schalke is currently hoping to renew Slomka's contract.
"Not only that, I've heard about it from other sources. Slomka is a big admirer of Basel's Croatian player Rakitic. Slomka believes that Rakitic is the best successor to Lincoln and will be Schalke's core player in the future. He is best suited to Schalke's number 10 shirt. You said that Rakitic was also a player in '88 and he came to Schalke where there is a place for Mesut. β
Sabri complained to Slomka. Mesut Ozil is a Schalke academy graduate. Do not reuse such players. Instead, go buy what Rakitic.
"Aster, what is there to think about. What a simple thing. β
"Simple?"
Sabri was stunned. These days, Sabri really can't sleep well and can't eat well because of this. He communicated with Schalke's top management several times, and also communicated with Slomka. Hopefully, it will change the current situation for Mesut Ozil. It's just that the effect is not very good. Could it be that Lister would be able to solve this problem easily?
"Of course it's easy. What's there to worry about. I've never heard of a single one. There is no master here. There is a place to stay with the grandfather. Schalke doesn't value him, so let's go. β
"Let's go? However, Mesut is an academy player for Schalke. β
Sabri didn't know what to say for a moment. Because he never wanted to let Ozil transfer, how to say that Ozil is also Schalke's academy player.
"Of course. It's normal for a professional player to transfer. Academy players? What's wrong with the academy players. Raul is also an academy player for Atletico Madrid. Now it's the flag of Real Madrid. What's this. As long as Mesut doesn't move to Borussia Dortmund, then there's nothing going on. β
"Really going to transfer."
Sabri frowned. Rist looked at the immature Sabri and said, "Astor, let me tell you that." If Mesut doesn't get many plays at Schalke and you don't help him with the transfer, he'll blame you. When you are an agent and operate a player's transfer, you can only take the best interests of the player and the agent as the standard, and you must not carry your own feelings. You're an agent, not a Schalke fan. β
"Moreover, how can the broker maximize the benefits. That is, players have to keep transferring, and if they don't transfer, where can we make money. And at this time, the transfer to Mesut is only good. There is an old Chinese saying that people move the living tree and move the dead. β
Sabri's face was a little dark. When Mesut Ozil was embraced by Schalke fans and thought he was the pearl of Schalke's academy, Sabri was very happy. Hopefully, Mesut Ozil will be a key player for Schalke. It's a pity that now it looks like it's just a good wish.
Slomka is a great manager, but he also has a German character in it. He decided that things were hard to change, and he thought Rakitic was better than Mesut Ozil, so he always thought so. It is basically impossible for him to change his mind.
"This ......"
"Alright, Astor. You must not choose the wrong thing for this kind of thing. You'd better go back and talk to Mesut and see what he and his family mean. Of course, you have to tell him everything that is going on, and then let him choose. But I still suggest that you let Mesut transfer. He's a good player in his own right, a great talent for a young player. In the Bundesliga there should be managers who like him. If no one brings him in the Bundesliga, then I'll help him move abroad. Never hang yourself from a tree. β
Too inexperienced, Rist shook his head. Sabri has been an agent for seven or eight years now, but the brokerage methods are still immature. And if the heart is too soft, there will definitely be a setback in the future.
Now his players are younger, so he relies on an agent who is also of Turkish descent. When they become famous, their wings are stiff and powerful. When the time comes, they will definitely not like an agent like Sabri. (To be continued......)
