“weishenme？”

With Roig announcing his withdrawal from the Valencia presidential election, Rist can be said to have suffered a crushing defeat in Valencia. More than two years of regulation in Valencia have been in vain, and it has become a joke for the next few years.

The turmoil has hurt Benitez a lot. Because of Lister's support for Roig this time, there is also turmoil within the team. After all, Rist didn't shout that I wanted to support Royger, but the action was already obvious. So much so that many newspapers also paid attention to the Valencia election, which interfered with the preparation of Benitez and the team. In addition, this time Rist and Benitez are not just against Soler, but the club management led by Cortez and Otti. When there is a conflict between the management and the team, how can it not cause turmoil.

Even after Rist began to support Royger, Otti could only co-opt the players in private. Otti wants to divide the squad by co-opting players. If it weren't for Soler's direct defeat of Roig and Rister in one fell swoop, there might have been players against Benitez with Otti's support. Although nothing like this happened, the team was greatly affected.

In the league, it was gradually pulled away by Real Madrid, and in the Champions League knockout round, it was also eliminated by Bayern in the semi-finals. If it weren't for this election, no one would believe it. However, Rist has not yet dealt with the affairs of Valencia, and has not yet met with Otti, who is about to become the president of Valencia. Something happened again on the side of England.

"Steve, didn't you have a verbal agreement with Vera a long time ago? How could they repent. ”

Middlesbrough are in trouble in the transfer market. The first trouble came with Southgate's transfer. David Moyes is looking to build a strong defensive combination. Materazzi has a good header, a good frontal defence and, above all, a ferocity. Southgate, on the other hand, is very experienced and not tall, but he is the best choice for marking people and filling places. Materazzi is ferocious and then supplemented by experienced defenders like Gareth Southgate, which is a very good centre-back combination in the Premier League.

Southgate is not Moyes' designated player. The player was back in Brian. Robson had already taken a fancy to Southgate when he was manager of Middlesbrough, so Middlesbrough and Villa had talked. There was a tacit understanding between the two sides that Southgate would move to Middlesbrough at the end of the season, and Middlesbrough would have to pay a transfer fee of £6 million. Although no contract was signed, there was already a tacit understanding between the two parties.

Moyes is also very fond of Southgate. The 31-year-old has the experience and quality to pair perfectly with the more reckless Materazzi. But the season is over. When it was really time to negotiate with Vera. Vera suddenly reversed. Tell Middlesbrough to either pay £12 million or the transfer will be gone.

This is complete. Southgate was the main centre-back for the England national team in 00 and has been doing very well over the years. But after all, he can't compare with Adams, Campbell and later Terry and Rio Ferdinand, who are at best a good centre-back. Not a top-class centre-back. Plus he was already thirty-one years old. Six million pounds is already a high price. Let Middlesbrough bid £12 million. It's simply impossible. Not to mention Middlesbrough, even a giant like Manchester United would not spend so much money to bring in Southgate.

"I don't know very well right now."

Gibson's face was gloomy. He was also very angry. Although there are all kinds of dirty things in football, there is also a rule of its own. This kind of backtracking will spurn the whole football world.

"Rist. One more thing. Abidal, whom you recommended, we have touched. It was rejected by Monaco. ”

"Abidal?"

Rist frowned. Abidal is not an absolute workhorse at Monaco at the moment, and Middlesbrough is not without money. The important thing is that the Premier League has a much bigger stage than Ligue 1, just look at the French stars who are active in the Premier League right now. Monaco weishenme against, doesn't Abidal have his own opinion?

Abidal is in good shape and has a well-rounded defense. So Rist recommended it to Moyes, who observed it and thought it was still good. Unexpectedly, when the contact with Monaco began, Monaco was still willing to negotiate. But within a few days, Monaco suddenly said that Abidal was not for sale and directly rejected Middlesbrough.

"What else?"

Rist had already sniffed out something else. This can't be a normal thing, how could it be so coincidental. So Rist asked in a deep voice.

"Millwall's side also rejected our offer to Tim. Cahill's quote. ”

Rist gave the player profile to Moyes. As for who Moyes chooses, Rist did not intervene. Tim. Gary Cahill has done well at Millwall, and the important thing is that Millwall is a League One club. Tim. Cahill's value won't be too high.

Rist closed his eyes and thought about it carefully. If it's just a transfer that will be problematic, then it's the reason for the operation. But now there are problems with several transfers, so it can't be a coincidence. Especially like Tim. Gary Cahill, Millwall are just League One clubs. Middlesbrough's invitation to him was not an easy one.

"You wait a minute."

Rist took out the phone and immediately dialed a group of numbers. When the phone was connected, Rist said, "Michael, I'll ask you something." ”

Rist was looking for Michael. Williams, aka Stam's agent. Although Rist revealed Stamm's autobiography to Ferguson in advance, only two people knew about the situation at the time. Ferguson doesn't go around shouting that he knew about Stam's autobiography in advance. Similarly, when Stam left Manchester United in July and August, no one would have thought that it was Rister six months ago.

Michael. Williams was a failed broker when he was an agent. But this man has connections in English football that few agents can match. As long as Michael. Williams didn't know about Stam, and Rist was willing to continue this somewhat distance relationship with him. Taken by Michael. Williams' connections in English football. This kind of thing to find Michael. Williams is the most suitable.

While waiting for the call, the atmosphere in the office was very depressing. After all, they had already thought that someone must have deliberately suppressed Middlesbrough. I don't know why, but this person is so angry and a little frightening. Because the man who is suppressing Middlesbrough is too strong. To be able to ruin so many transfers, it is simply impossible without strength.

Rist didn't have to wait long, Michael. Williams' call came.

"Okay, I got it. xiexie you, Michael. ”

After hanging up the phone, Rist's expression was hideous. It's not a big secret within English football. Michael. Williams found a few acquaintances and already knew about it as soon as he inquired.

"Steve. Sorry. Middlesbrough was implicated by me. ”

"Huh?"

Steve. Gibson didn't quite understand. Rist gritted his teeth and said, "Me and Stretford and Jerome. Anderson had some frustrations, and this time the two of them were targeting me. ”

Rist was quite surprised. Sure enough, some local agents are not easy to mess with, and they usually don't see anything, when they really exert their strength. It is true that the strength is not comparable to that of an outsider like Lister. Rist is already able to integrate the front and back.

Villa chairman Ellis and Stretford don't have a very good relationship. However, Villa's current manager, Gregory, is a manager under the umbrella of Stretford. Or his partner. Hence the backlash on Southgate. Thinking of this brings to mind a story. It was later that Ellis was dissatisfied with Gregory. Because he thinks Gregory and Stretford, the agent predator, are too close. The players brought in are also linked to Stretford, and their manager is suspected of taking kickbacks from them.

But after sacking Gregory, Ellis appointed the head coach Graham. Taylor. Later, I found out that people are Graham. Taylor is also a coach at Stretford. This made Ellis quite depressed. And Graham. Taylor told Ellis that managers in English football "are all the same". In other words, most of the English coaches are related to Stretford. So much so that Stretford said to Ellis that "it's the same for everyone".

When a homegrown agent like Stretford directly targeted Rist, a small club like Millwall would not dare to offend Stretford. Rejected Tim outright. Cahill's transfer. The strength that Stretford has shown is far more powerful than Rist imagined.

As for Monaco, Rist was also able to guess. Jerome. Although Anderson is an England agent, he is an Arsenal Real agent. Because of Arsene Wenger, the French players in Arsenal now have an absolute advantage. And Jerome. With his status at Arsenal, Anderson has made top French stars such as Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira his players.

Arsene Wenger and Thierry Henry are both from Monaco, so there is a natural connection between Arsenal and Monaco. Jerome. It was with this relationship that Anderson undermined the partnership between Abidal and Middlesbrough. He must have given Monaco some promises, and he gave Abidal some promises.

Rist sighed slightly. Stretford and Jerome. Anderson, the combined strength of the two English football agent predators should definitely not be underestimated.

"Paul. Stretford, Jerome. Anderson. Hum! ”

Steve. Gibson's face was also ugly. These two are definitely some of the best agents in English football, and Gibson usually doesn't offend them. After all, their strength is not something that a small club like Middlesbrough can afford to offend. But now that the two of them are working together to suppress Middlesbrough, the damage to Middlesbrough can be yujian. Usually don't dare to offend, but when they really suppress themselves, Steve. Gibson was not afraid, but angry. They are agents but Middlesbrough are also a Premier League team.

After the Boseman Act, the agent is now getting stronger and stronger, but such a naked confrontation with the Premier League club makes Stephen . Gibson couldn't take it anymore. These agents really think of themselves as underground kings, and they really think of Middlesbrough as soft persimmons. He usually doesn't speak and rarely appears in front of the media, so much so that many people think that Middlesbrough chairman Gibson is a shadow. But that doesn't mean Gibson doesn't have a temper.

"David, Rist. The club are willing to spend £20 million in the transfer market this summer. I don't believe the two of them can block the entire European football market. ”

Rist nodded. Of the players that Rist handed over to Moyes, the majority were still English League players. But it was taken by Stretford and Jerome. If Anderson continues to make such a fuss, he will have to find a way to find a way from other places. Rist has a lot of talented players to recommend, but their biggest problem is that they can't get a labor certification.

"Steve, don't worry. Since they are coming for me, I will definitely solve it satisfactorily. I was the first to supply all the good players to Middlesbrough. ”

Rist knew that if he only had to take a step back this time, it would be much more difficult for him to re-enter English football in the future. There are even some clubs that want to cooperate with Lister, and if they see Lister cowardly, they will give up working with Lister. (To be continued......)
