"Okay, I got it."

Rist put down the phone and shook his head amusedly.

"What's wrong?"

"Coach Boas has a big card. I asked him to meet and wanted to talk about Didier. Unexpectedly, he replied directly, saying that he was now busy researching the opponent of the next competition. ”

Rist said with a smile in her eyes. In the current European football world, don't say it's Villas, even if it's Lippi, Capello, Hiddink and other old coaches, as well as new coaches like Mourinho and Guardiola, if Lister wants to meet them, they will leave time for Lister. Even if they really have something, or they don't want to meet with Lister, they won't refuse so directly, and they still leave enough face for Lister.

I didn't expect that he just wanted to meet Boas, a young coach, today, and he actually used this excuse to refuse to see Lister. This made Lister really not know what to say.

"After all, it's a talented coach. At the age of thirty-three, he won the Europa League. ”

"."

Rist said disdainfully: "Vialli also won the League Cup, the European Cup Winners' Cup, and the European Super Cup at the age of thirty-four. ”

Speaking of Mourinho, before their group of star coaches came out, there was a person who was really famous when he was a coach. That's Vialli at Chelsea. Before he retired, Vialli succeeded Ruud Gullit as Chelsea manager. Vialli was only 33 years old at the time, but he led Chelsea to successive League Cup titles, the European Cup Winners' Cup and the European Super Cup against mighty Real Madrid in a year.

At that time, Vialli was no worse than those coaches now. This can be described as the most beautiful young marshal of the year. If Vialli's agent at that time was Rist, or Mendes, he would definitely have become the most well-known coach in world football in a short period of time. Compared to Vialli back then, Boas's results are not better now.

"What do you want to talk to him about?"

Pinny. A mocking smile leaked from Zahavi's face. I don't know if it was a joke that Rister was rejected by a small coach like Boas, or a joke that Boas didn't know how thick the sky was.

"It's been too much to watch Boas lately. Isn't it that Didier was not given a chance at all? I'm not asking Villas-Boas to give Didier a place in the team, I hope he will be fair to Didier. ”

Boas may have been too young himself. After coming to Chelsea, he immediately began to suppress the veterans. The order in which he suppressed the veterans was Anelka, Malouda, and then Drogba. In recent games. Drogba didn't even get a chance to play. Rist wanted to be able to talk to Boas. Hopefully he can give Drogba some chances.

This kind of thing is easy for players and coaches to communicate stiffly, so Rist will personally come out. Originally, Rist has been busy promoting Messi's personal brand recently, and the effect is very good so far. As soon as it was launched, it was warmly received by fans. The first launches were completely sold out. Much to the satisfaction of Lister. But that's what happened on Chelsea's side. Rist just arrived. It's a pity that Boas didn't even give Rist a chance to meet. It's really helpless for Rister.

"Don't talk about Didier. Boas and even Frank were going to take it down. ”

"Frank Lampard?"

"Yes."

Rist shrugged, then smiled, "Courage." ”

Didier Drogba is a Chelsea veteran and has a lot of status at Chelsea. In Chelsea history. Didier Drogba is definitely one of the best strikers. It could even be argued that Drogba is the number one striker in Chelsea's history.

But even so, Drogba's status is not as good as that of Frank Lampard. Frank Lampard has been at Chelsea for eleven years and has scored more than 150 goals for the club. And, importantly, Frank Lampard is an England homegrown player and is Chelsea's vice-captain. Before Abramovich arrived at Chelsea, he was already one of the darlings of Chelsea fans. As a result, Frank Lampard is far more important at Chelsea than Didier Drogba.

Villas-Boas first offended the French gang by killing Anelka and Malouda, two French veterans. Then he pressed Drogba and began to offend the Chelsea veterans. Don't even give Lister face, and don't look at the fact that Rister still has the main goalkeeper Cech at Chelsea, and the striker Aguero is also under the Lister company.

If Lister messes with Boas every day, then Boas will settle Lister. As long as Rister is bothered by Boas with the player's salary, he will have a headache at Chelsea. Of course, against a Boas, Rist is not yet to the point of using this method.

Unexpectedly, after Boas suppressed so many players, he would dare to depose Frank Lampard, the vice-captain of the team. To offend Frank Lampard is to offend Chelsea's homegrown gang, including John Terry and Ashley. Cole is the locker room bigwigs.

Chelsea's dressing room is not as complicated as Real Madrid's, but these veterans are all dressing room bigwigs. Now that he has offended so many team bosses so easily, Rister can only say that Boas has a commendable courage.

"Yes, courage. Originally, I was quite worried about Mendes' coming in a big way. But after seeing Boas, I'm completely relieved now. I don't know how Mendes has such a strange coach. ”

Pinny. Zahavi shook his head. Compared with Mourinho, who was praised as arrogant and domineering by European football, Boas is simply too immature. Mourinho is domineering, but not as domineering as Boas. In less than half a year after coming to the new club, he offended several bigwigs in the locker room one by one. The first thing Mourinho does when he arrives at any club is to co-opt a few of the dressing room bigwigs, but Villas-Boas completely mistakes the Chelsea veterans as a thing. Don't underestimate Chelsea's veterans, they are not weak in their influence at Chelsea.

"Looks like I'm going to have to appease Didier."

…………

"Didier, I've looked for Boas. But he didn't want to see me, probably because he didn't want to compromise. ”

Although it was a bit embarrassing, Rist still told the truth. Based on the friendship between Rist and Drogba for more than ten years, Rist doesn't care about anything. There's just some fun. was rejected by a thirty-four-year-old coach.

"It's okay."

Thirty-three, almost thirty-four-year-old Drogba is not so grumpy. Anyway, he didn't hate Boas that much. Drogba's contract with Chelsea expires at the end of the season. Originally, Chelsea were willing to renew Drogba's contract, but the current situation has made Drogba have an idea.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Didier, I've got you covered with the hospital. It will be able to officially open in a while. ”

"Thank you."

Drogba has been suppressed by Villas-Boas this season, so he has played very little. Since he couldn't play, Drogba began to think about his own affairs.

Didier Drogba is the best player in Ivory Coast's history and the number one player in Ivory Coast. Even in the history of African football, Drogba is a superstar who can make it into the top three. Drogba's income is not low either. For African stars. Drogba can be in the top five in terms of income. Didier Drogba currently earns £150,000 a week at Chelsea.

In Lister's squad, the Ivorian player occupies an important position. As a result, Rister is also more concerned about the Ivorian players. In some of the businesses that Rist does, he works with many of these Ivorian players. As a result, Drogba now earns more than 10 million euros a year.

However, as the number one player in Ivory Coast's history, Drogba has big ambitions. Drogba has been investing in Côte d'Ivoire in recent years. Four hospitals have been established in Côte d'Ivoire. This time Rist helped Côte d'Ivoire to build a fifth hospital.

Of course, Drogba set up these hospitals in Côte d'Ivoire. It is also incomparable with hospitals in Europe, the United States, and even China, Japan and South Korea. The scale, hardware and software conditions of the hospital are at the level of county hospitals in China.

In Côte d'Ivoire, some of the doctors in public hospitals are of good quality. Many of them are European and American students. And the equipment of the hospital is also imported. From hardware to software, it can be compared with provincial and municipal hospitals in China. But these hospitals are a small number after all, and they are all in big cities. Especially since it's basically in the city of Abidjan. The city is home to 20 percent of the population of Côte d'Ivoire, and the wealthiest are also here.

But hospitals are a rarity in a wide range of other small cities and rural areas. With the economic strength of the Ivorian state, it is simply impossible to spread such hospitals throughout the country. In addition to the big cities, it is very good that other small and medium-sized cities and rural areas can have small clinics. Therefore, although Drogba is only at the level of a county-level hospital in China, it is completely a matter of relief for the small towns of Côte d'Ivoire. Drogba's future participation in Ivorian politics would bring him great prestige.

"Didier, the hospital is very expensive. Ordinary income simply cannot run such a hospital. ”

Hospitals are bottomless pits. Côte d'Ivoire is now not high per capita. In the seventies and eighties, Côte d'Ivoire was a relatively good country in Africa, and in 1980 it reached $2,000 per capita. But then the economy continued to deteriorate, and by 2007 it had barely recovered to $1,000 per capita. In recent years, the development has been good, but in the past two years, Ivorian politics have begun to be turbulent, which has also affected the Ivorian economy.

Therefore, it is very difficult for the hospital established by Drogba to make money from patients. With their income, too high medical bills are unaffordable. But it is not so easy to run five hospitals with Drogba's income alone. In particular, Drogba will soon retire and will not have the high income he has now. That's why Drogba set up a foundation in the hope that everyone will contribute some money.

"I know. So you're going to make me more money. ”

Didier grinned as he bared his teeth that didn't match his complexion. Reese nodded, then said to Drogba: "I have called on other Ivorian players to support your foundation. They are still very active, and it is estimated that they can have a lot of money. ”

Drogba is ambitious and ready to follow some of his predecessors into Ivorian politics. So he invested not only in hospitals, but also in schools. These are not profitable, but need Drogba's large-scale financial support. When he does make a name for himself in Ivorian politics in the future, the Ivorian players who now support the Drogba Foundation will receive a huge reward. If Drogba can really get mixed up in the position of president of Côte d'Ivoire, their support today will generate huge profits. That's why they support Drogba's actions.

"Then it's to find someone who is willing to pay you a high salary."

"The United States? Middle East? ”

Drogba understood what Rist meant, this is to let Drogba find a rich place to retire. Drogba did not resist this, after all, he was about to be thirty-four years old, and it was time to retire. There's nothing wrong with making some money at the last minute.

"I'll take a look. How about China? ”

"China?"

"Yes. Their recent salaries are also not low. ”

Drogba is not the same as Samuel and Senna. Drogba has a high status in Ivory Coast and is a flag player. When Chinese clubs bring in Drogba, it's not just about football. Even the political levels of China and Côte d'Ivoire want to develop, and Drogba is well placed to be the political emissary of both countries.

"Either way. I believe you. (To be continued......)
