Mechelen FC bought it from Riester for one purpose, bringing in a lot of South American and African players. It's not started yet, but the club already has that character.

The first person Rist put in was Drogba. Drogba is twenty years old, and he is already the age to play. Although the level of the French second division like Le Mans is low, the jishu has a lot of gold. Drogba's best thing right now is his physicality. For example, explosiveness, speed, strong confrontation ability, and so on.

But there is one thing that is missing, and that is the roughness of jishu under the feet. He has been training in football since he was a child, but it is not very formal. Playing here today, playing there tomorrow, not getting formal training like some other young players, so the fundamentals are a bit poor. So at Le Mans, it is not taken seriously, and the disadvantage of Drogba on the ground is too obvious. But in the Belgian league, Drogba's rampage style of play is definitely a huge torture for Belgian defenders. Therefore, after winning the Mechelen club, the first thing Rister got was Drogba. Rist put Drogba at Mechelen FC and then sold the original main striker.

Rist is not prepared to interfere with Troussier's work, and if Trussier becomes the club's manager, there is a risk of clash with him if he sells players again. Therefore, before Trussier, he sold the main striker of the Mechelen club early. In order to correct Drogba, you Trussier has to use it, and you have to use it if you don't use it. It happened to sell for more than 300,000 dollars, which is a lot of money for a person like Rister who is currently short of money.

It's not just Drogba that Rist has cram into the club. Two young players were also stuffed in. All were brought by Rist from Côte d'Ivoire. Kolo. Toure and Big Corne, both of whom are already seventeen years old. As a result, he was also thrown by Lister to the Mechelen Club. Trussier is still quite good at training young people.

As a result, Rister has just taken over the club and the club already has three players from Ivory Coast. And Rist's idea is very simple, in the future, there will be more and more Ivory Coast players in this club, plus some South American players. That's how Rist runs this club.

Drogba is twenty years old, and Collo. Toure was seventeen years old and Da Cornet was seventeen, standing side by side. The ownership of all three of them was in Rist's hands, and Rist had high hopes for them. In the future, selling the three of them from the Mechelen Club should make tens of millions of dollars. Rist looked at them and said, "You're going to play in the Belgian league next season, and that's just the beginning. Where you can go depends on your efforts. It's good. to be able to go to a higher league. If you don't perform well, you will sink in Belgium. I don't have sympathy for players who don't have a future. ”

All three nodded. In fact, the salaries of the three people are not high, and Drogba's salary is relatively high. But it's only a thousand dollars a month. And Kolo. Toure and Big Conet earn only $150 a month. This salary is better than that of Belgian players, and the substitutes are better than them. After all, Belgium is rich, so the players' salaries are not high. But it's not low at all. But a few of them are different.

It's not Rist's cruelty. It's that the players in Côte d'Ivoire are so cheap. Rist later brought in players from South America and Africa. It's all so cheap, and the salary is so low. Rist paid them neither high nor low. It's in line with the current player's salary. They can only get a higher salary if they perform well.

"David, you may need to be in Belgium for a while during this time."

The club bought it, but there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with in the future. When a new coach comes to the club, the club's top management should also get in touch with him. There are also major shareholders who have taken their shares, and they have also taken some small shares. But there are also some scattered shares that Lister has not recovered.

However, in addition to these problems, there are also problems with the club's former hierarchy. Some of these people are able to stay, some are not. It's all about someone you need to know for a while, otherwise there could be some turmoil at the club.

"Don't worry, Riester. There will be no problem with the club. ”

…………

Away from Belgium, Rist needs to take care of the most important things. This is a matter related to Rist's future ace player, and Rist can't afford to be sloppy. Even if he controls a player of a few hundred people in the future, Rist still needs a façade player. Which of those agent predators has their own face players, and the quality of the face players also determines the agent's liliang.

Look at Jerome. Anderson had Adams and Thierry Henry and later Fabregas, Raiola had Ibrahimovic and Balotelli, Spanish Real agent Carvajal owned Raul and Casillas, Mendes had Cristiano. Ronaldo, with this kind of top player, they can attract a large number of young players. And with the top players, a commercial chain can be generated, from sponsors to media and clubs. Therefore, it is very important for an agent to have a top player.

Even for many agents, the status of his top player determines the status of the agent. Therefore, if you want to become a top agent in Shijie, it is very important to have a top player.

At present, there are many star seedlings in Lister's hands who can become superstars, but Rist has already thought of it. In addition to Rosicky, the real talent is Messi, who is now staying in the Netherlands. Messi can definitely become the biggest trump card in Lister's hands.

Therefore, Messi's matter Lister has to focus on solving. Although Rist has not yet negotiated with PSV Eindhoven, it is very simple to send a young player to the PSV Eindhoven Academy for training based on his current cooperation with PSV Eindhoven. Therefore, Messi has not yet become a player in the PSV Eindhoven academy, but he can already practice with players of the same age.

"Frank, how's my player?"

"It's outstanding."

If it weren't for Rist, Arneson would not have been able to come over and watch an 11-year-old performer as PSV Eindhoven's general manager. After all, Eindhoven is such a big club. Even if Arneson is looking at the Academy, he will look at players over the age of fifteen or sixteen. Messi, no matter how talented he is, is too young now. Small means that the future is very variable, and it is not one or two who are known as the successors of the football king at the age of eleven or twelve. But there are few who can become superstars in the end, and it is even more rare to become a superstar in ten years. Therefore, he generally does not value players in this age group. But with the factor of Rist, Arneson is of course sitting on it to watch Messi's game.

Messi's excellence goes without saying. Although he is only 11 years old, Messi is definitely the kind of player who can make people shine after just ten minutes. His way of playing is not as ostentatious as Ronaldinho's, but the way he plays is still deadly. PSV Eindhoven currently stand out among players under the age of 12. What a genius among geniuses.

"Frank, I want to put him in your Eindhoven for training. But I don't want to give ownership to you Eindhoven. ”

After Arneson saw Messi's performance, he always sighed that Rister has such a good eye. He also heard about Messi from Rister and despised several clubs in Argentina. Speaking of the cost of treatment for Messi. It's a drop in the bucket for those South American clubs. Such an investment risk is worth it. Even if Zuihou doesn't succeed, he won't lose a few bucks. Of course, if it were a South American club, no one would think like that. Because South America lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of genius. The treatment fees posted to Messi can be cultivated by other talented players.

Messi was lucky. After a situation like Messi. The abandoned South American genius is not one or two. If it weren't for the fact that Messi succeeded later. Otherwise, who would laugh at the Argentine clubs. If it weren't for Messi's great success, how could Rist know about Messi and go to him specifically. South America loses countless geniuses every year.

Arneson, who has always lamented Messi's good talent. Hearing Rist's words, he immediately turned his head to look at Rist. After the Boseman Act, for Dutch clubs, the academy players are the most important. Because after the club develops young players, they will sell them when they become famous, which is the condition for the survival of many clubs in the Netherlands.

Like PSV Eindhoven, if you train Messi, if you don't have Messi's ownership, then what do you do with training him. Eindhoven is not a processing plant of Riester, so it is cheaper to be cheap after cultivation. Therefore, he replied angrily: "Lister, we Eindhoven are also Eredivisie giants. Are you going to let us train you a player for nothing? ”

Rist shook his head and said with a smile: "Frank, I also invested a lot of money for Messi. He is currently in the Netherlands for medical treatment and food, and I arranged for them to give them the house for them. Do you say that I have less investment? ”

Rist is the player who has invested the most in Messi. Rist always thinks of the worst, and before Messi is twenty-two or three, Rist will be able to control him. But once he is as successful as he has been in history, what qualifications does Rist have to control him when the time comes. When the time comes, for a huge commission, Messi asks his father to be his agent, and then Rist will be beaten with chickens and eggs.

So Rist needs to put some shackles on him. Now Lister has to do his best to make it impossible for Messi and his family to get out of the way. If Messi continues to trust Rist, then everything is fine, and everyone can continue to cooperate. But once he is going to abandon Lister, then the experience will become a stain on Messi. Because Rist can fully show Messi's ingratitude, this is a huge prestige blow for the superstar. Messi will have to think about that kind of consequences when the time comes.

Of course, Rist very much hopes that everyone can cooperate until the end of Messi's career. These were just some of the precautions that Rist had taken in advance. Rister will do what he should have.

"Lister, that's not how the account is counted. If there is no ownership, then what are we doing in Eindhoven? ”

Rist held up two fingers and said to Arneson, "Frank, I propose two ways to work together. One is that I give Eindhoven a sum of money every year, a training fee, and I give it to Eindhoven Messi has the right of first refusal to sign when he becomes an adult. That is, under the same conditions, when Messi signs a professional contract, he has to sign a contract with PSV Eindhoven. ”

Arneson shook his head. The cultivation fee is only a lot of money, and Arneson believes that Rist doesn't care about this cultivation fee at all. Also for PSV Eindhoven, developing a player like Messi is not a burden, and the training fee does not care at all. As for what the right of first refusal is, it's all nothing. Because the ownership is in Rist's hands, Rister can say whatever he wants.

"The second is that I don't pay for the training. He continued to train in the Academy in PSV Eindhoven for a fee I would pay for 20 per cent ownership of him. Of course, when he can sign a professional contract, PSV Eindhoven can take 30% of the ownership from me in the form of a signing fee. At that time, I and Eindhoven will have half ownership. But I have the right to buy back 20 percent of Messi's rights for $2 million before he turns 17. ”

Arneson looked at Rist and smiled, Rist was such a ghost. But Arneson nodded, and didn't bargain with Rist. Messi is only 11 years old now, and no one can say how far he can develop. As long as it has 20% ownership at that time, Eindhoven will not be eaten to death by Lister even if it is passive. Because 20 percent ownership can't do anything, but it's more than enough to want bad things.

Rist, of course, knew that if 20 percent of the ownership was handed over to PSV Eindhoven, there would be some constraints. But Rist is not afraid, because in Rist's jihua, Messi should start to rise from the Eredivisie. And in the rise of the Eredivisie, one of the most prosperous places is PSV Eindhoven. Because by the time Messi grows up, it should be around 2004, which is also the time when PSV Eindhoven rose strongly in Hiddink's hands. Should be able to catch up with the good times.

As for Rist's right to reclaim 20 percent of Messi's shares for $2 million before Messi turned 17, Arneson has no objection. At the age of seventeen, 20 percent of the shares were 2 million US dollars, which means that Messi was worth tens of millions of US dollars at that time. It can't be, Arneson hasn't seen a seventeen-year-old player worth tens of millions of dollars. And even if it is reached, it shows that Messi is a shijie-level genius, and he can be worth more than 10 million US dollars at the age of seventeen.

At that time, with his friendship with Lister, although he will be blackmailed, he is still confident that he can retain such a genius. So he agreed to Rist's suggestion.

"I'll choose the second option. Since you have such confidence in this little point, then I believe in your vision. ”

"Frank, you know what? The two of us are witnessing the birth of a future superstar. (To be continued......)
