"Friendship Certificate?"
Michelle. Goba looked at the so-called friendship certificate carefully, and didn't understand what it was. The above is indeed a signed certificate from the Football Federation of Côte d'Ivoire. When will the Football Federation of Côte d'Ivoire still engage in this kind of thing. What does that mean? Because it was the first time he had seen something like this.
"Mr. Cherny, this is ......"
Eventually Michelle. Goba didn't even understand what this thing was, so he looked at Rist apologetically. After Rist took it, he smiled and said, "I went to Côte d'Ivoire in October last year. At that time, Puma sponsored a friendly match between the Czech national team and the Ivory Coast national team, did you know that? ”
Michelle. Goba nodded. Although he has been in France for more than a decade, he is an Ivorian and a former international of Côte d'Ivoire, so he knows a lot about Ivory Coast football. After all, many of his team-mates who played with him more than two decades ago are now important figures in Ivorian football. Many have also joined the Football Federation of Côte d'Ivoire. So his news was pretty fast.
Like Puma's sponsorship of the Ivorian national team, this is a very big deal in Ivorian football. After all, although Puma is not as good as Nike and Adidas, it is also a big sports brand of Shijie. And for an almost naked Ivory Coast national team with such a sponsor, it cannot be said that it is groundbreaking and unprecedented. As a result, he has also followed the friendly matches between the Czech national team and the Ivory Coast national team.
"At that time, I was able to play this friendly match, except that PUMA was the sponsor of the bureau. That's what I made possible. Half of the players in the Czech national team are now my players. Then the president of the Football Federation of Côte d'Ivoire thanked me for giving such a certificate of friendship. Hopefully my friendship with Ivorian football will continue. ”
This statement is half-true. In the friendly match between the Czech national team and the Ivory Coast national team at that time, Rist's contribution was definitely not small. If Puma hadn't convinced Rister, Rister might have let aces like Poboski and Nedved rest. Travelling long distances to Africa to play is a big problem for the players' physical strength. But it was precisely because of Rist's assistance that there was no shortage of big-name players in the Czech national team at that time.
As for this proof of friendship, it was not given to Rist by the president of the Ivorian Football Federation on his own initiative. Rist didn't have any friendship with their chairman, how could he give him such a thing. But this thing is not a forgery from Rist, because it is indeed given to Rist by the president of the Football Federation of Côte d'Ivoire in the name of the Football Federation of Côte d'Ivoire.
The reason is simple. Rist by Merkley and Puma's Jochen. Caitz asked the president of the Football Federation of Côte d'Ivoire for this thing. This thing doesn't have any effect, and the Football Federation of Côte d'Ivoire doesn't want to offend Merkley and Jochen. Caitz. It's just a written thank you letter, something like that can be done in minutes for the Ivorian Football Federation. And don't let them throw anything away. So it's very simple to give Rist this thing.
This thing probably doesn't work much in anyone's hands. But for Rist it is useful. Because Côte d'Ivoire was a former French colony, there are now many people of French descent in Côte d'Ivoire. Similarly, Côte d'Ivoire has many descendants living in France. There are also a lot of great players out of it.
Rist did not want to let them go, especially Drogba, the icon of Ivorian football in the next decade. But what does Rist do to gain his trust, what does it take to convince people. Rister came up with such a thing. Sure enough, Michelle. Goba heard it for this reason. So the expression looks much better at once. Although for such an agent as Lister. Michelle. Goba didn't dare to wait slowly. But with this proof. It obviously feels much closer.
Although Michelle. Goba has been away from Côte d'Ivoire for almost 20 years, but he is an Ivorian after all and has an extraordinary affection for Côte d'Ivoire.
"Mr. Czerny. I wonder what you're looking for me? ”
"Your nephew."
"Didier?"
Although Michelle. Goba guessed something, but was still surprised. Didier. Drogba is Michelle. Goba's nephew followed his uncle to France when Drogba was five years old, that is, fifteen years ago. Didier. Drogba is almost the same as Michelle. Goba's son is no different.
That's why he was even more surprised. Although it is his own nephew, but in Michelle. In Goba's eyes, Drogba is not a very good player. In addition to good physical fitness, explosiveness, speed, and bounce are excellent, the basic skills of football are average. And I have played from the defender to the midfielder to the striker, and now I play as a striker, but I don't see any outstanding talent.
In his opinion, it is already very good for his nephew to have the opportunity to play in Ligue 1 in the future. Because Drogba is now twenty years old, but he has not yet appeared in the professional league. Although Le Mans in the second division signed Drogba last summer. But last season Drogba did not play a game, not even the first team, and spent all of his time in the youth team at Le Mans. At the age of 20, he is still playing in the youth team of the second division, and from the perspective of development prospects, it is a luxury to be able to establish himself in a strong team in Ligue 1.
Of course, for some small agents, it is very good to have Ligue 1 players. So while Drogba has not yet made a fortune, it is also possible to cast the net in advance.
But who is Rister? In the just-concluded one-eighth knockout round, the Czech national team easily eliminated Nigeria 3-0 to enter the quarterfinals of the Shijie Cup. Needless to say, big stars like Poboski and Nedved, and even the young players who played in the second half, Jankulovski and Jankoller were all players under Rist.
Rist has a lot of good players, and Rist is also a big agent in European football. How could Rist come to talk to himself in the middle of the shijie cup for Drogba? So Michelle. Goba was surprised.
"It's Didier. Drogba. I'm here specifically for him. ”
Michelle. Goba was even more puzzled after he was sure.
“weishenme?”
It's really weishenme. For Michelle. Goba was a big question, and although he knew he shouldn't have asked, he couldn't help but ask. weishenme? Is it weishenme?
"Mr. Goba, it's not that I'm going to brag about it, but my scouting system is very formal and covers almost every big country in football. And my scout recommended Didier to me. Drogba, I also made a special expedition. He's average now, but he has a future. I'm only interested in players who have a future in the future. Although it may be that I made a mistake in judgment this time, which led to the failure of my investment. But I still believe in my vision and I'm still willing to invest. ”
Michelle. Goba was very happy. Because the agent was a vassal of the player at the beginning, he could only follow the player's fame up and down. But after the Boseman Act, brokers began to change. A strong agent can start to pave the way for his own players, and a player meets a strong agent who can touch his light.
Of course, in Shijie football, such an agent can be counted on five fingers. In fact, most agents, including Rist, are still in the ranks of relying on players to increase their value.
Therefore, an agent like Rist can't do much for the big-name superstars. But it's different for players like Drogba, once an agent like Rist is willing to cultivate them, then they will be given the most development channels. It's like Drogba can only be a youth player at Le Mans in Ligue 2, but Rist can find a club for Drogba to play at.
Although happy, but Michelle. After all, Goba was also an Ivory Coast international, albeit a little-known player. But he was still able to calm down, looked up and asked, "Mr. Cairny, I can't question the strength you have. But I know you have players under your belt, and I think there should be dozens of young players in their twenties. How can you guarantee that your company's resources will be tilted towards Didier's side? ”
"Mr. Goba, you're right, I have a huge number of young players, even more than you can imagine. More than 90 percent of the players in the Czech U21, U19 and U17 national teams are now my players. Nowadays, as long as there is a talented young player in Czech football, none of them can escape the palm of my hand. ”
Although Michelle. Goba knew that Rist was the number one agent in the Czech Republic, but he still took a deep breath when he heard Rist's words. Because Riester has a monopoly on young Czech players, that is to say, in a few years, the Czech stars will be all Riester's players. It's amazing.
"But you don't understand how our company works. I can't take care of all the players, I don't have that much experience. In fact, many of those players I don't know and have never met. My agency is the managing agent, and those agents bring these players to my company and say that they are from my company, which is actually an alternative cooperation. I don't have as many players with the company in person, and Didier. Drogba: I'm not ready to manage in this mode. He and I are ready to manage it myself. How do you think the company's resources will be skewed? ”
"Trust me. I can give him the most opportunity to perform. ”
Rist is confident. Because for Lister, arranging a young player like Drogba is a breeze. Michelle. Goba is also convinced of this, believing that if Drogba is a player with a strong agent in France, it is impossible to stay at Le Mans' youth team.
Michelle. Goba looked at the confident Rist and nodded slowly. (To be continued......)
