"Pavel, you actually have a lot of options."

Because the winter transfer was unexpectedly busy, Lister didn't have much rest. But there is one thing that Rist needs to deal with personally. That's Nedved's problem, so Lister came to Turin.

Nedved's contract expires in the summer. Nedved will soon be 37 years old, but he is in very good shape. So much so that Juventus is willing to renew Nedved's contract, and is also willing to give Nedved an annual salary of 1.7 million euros after tax.

Rist had just spoken to Juventus' hierarchy before coming to Nedved's residence. It's winter break, and Rist wants to see how Nedved is going. After all, it was up to Nedved to decide everything for himself.

"You're in good shape. Not yet of the age of retirement. If you feel tired, you can also choose to play in the Middle East and the United States. ”

Nedved is still a regular for Juventus this season, and although he is 36 years old, he is still brave. Juventus thought for a moment and said, "Lister, forget it." I am tired. ”

"Juventus' side?"

"Retire in the summer."

Although Nedved plays at Juventus, Nedved himself does not like the current management of Juventus. When Juventus were relegated, Nedved publicly expressed his willingness to stay at Juventus and took the lead in deciding to cut his salary by 50%.

In '07, Juventus was promoted, and Nedved hoped to be able to restore his original salary. This request is not outrageous at all. Juventus was relegated, and I don't know how many people left Juventus. Including Cannavaro, Thuram and Ibramovic, all left Juventus. Nedved's willingness to accompany Juventus, and also take a pay cut, is absolutely interesting in every way. Juventus are now upgraded, and it is a legitimate request to ask for the original salary to be restored.

However, the Juventus hierarchy refused. Because it seemed to them that Nedved was already old, and Nedved was thirty-five years old at the time. In the eyes of the Juventus hierarchy, it would be a waste for Nedved to reach the age of retirement and give him a high salary. Therefore, Juventus are only willing to give Nedved an annual salary of one million euros after tax. At that time, there was a strong antagonism between the upper echelons of Rist, Nedved and Juventus. Neither side budged.

Even though Nedved is thirty-five years old, when Juventus was in the Italian second division, Nedved was the absolute main force, scoring eleven goals in the Italian second division. And it's in good shape. A salary of a million euros after tax is too insulting to Nedved. Nedved is a superstar who can be compared to Zidane and Ronaldo, even if he is old, he can't be so humiliated. So Rist was adamantly disagreeing, and Nedved even said that he would retire if the contract was not negotiated.

In the end, Juventus gave in and was willing to give an annual salary of 1.5 million euros after tax, that is, an annual salary of 3 million euros before taxes. In fact, Lister did not agree to this, and the clubs that wanted Nedved to retire at that time were not one or two. Even Sparta Prague was willing to give Nedved a salary of two million euros after tax to let him go home. If Nedved were to play in the Middle East or the United States, it would not be impossible to earn four million euros a year after taxes.

However, Nedved still didn't want to leave Juventus in the end, so in the end, the two sides signed a contract on this standard. But to stay is to stay, but Nedved himself is very dissatisfied with the Juventus hierarchy, and there is already a dirt between the two sides.

"Pavel. You better think about it. Are you really going to retire? ”

Although Nedved is a superstar in the 72 generation who can be compared with Zidane and Ronaldo, his income is not as good as theirs. Nedved made a lot of money with the opportunity before the World Cup in '02 and Ronaldinho in '05. Other times, his income is not very high. Even because of his most glorious time. It was Serie A that began to decline, and he was too old, so the salary was not very high.

Now is the time to find a place to retire. Nedved's fame in world football, if he goes to the Middle East to pan for gold, Rister is absolutely sure to get him an annual salary of about 4 million euros to 5 million euros. And the money is his, and there is no need to pay taxes to play in the UAE. As long as you work hard for two years, you can easily earn tens of millions of euros.

And that's not all. The Middle East is full of local tyrants. If you're happy, you'll reward Nedved with a car or something, and the cars rewarded are million-euro luxury cars. And to win the championship, the prize money of the rich in the Middle East is also very high.

Nedved has reached the point where he has to think about life after retirement. There's nothing wrong with being able to make a little more money before retiring. Of course, although Nedved does not earn as much as Zidane and Ronaldo, he is the highest income among the Czech golden generation. Now his assets should be around 40 million to 50 million euros.

"Yes."

Nedved didn't say much. Instead, he nodded heavily. Rist sighed, Nedved couldn't help it. Therefore, Rist was silent for a while before he said, "So what do you think after retiring?" Juventus would like you to be their head of technology. ”

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Nedved shook his head. This time he chose to retire, and Nedved was not in a very good mood. As for what happens after retirement. He didn't even think about it. As for getting into the upper echelons of Juventus, Nedved is reluctant to do so right now. He doesn't really like the current Juventus hierarchy.

"Pavel, there are two options. One is to enter Juventus. Of course, if you don't want to go to Juventus, on behalf of Bowel, I invite you to join the Czech Football Federation. ”

It's not something Rist is doing on his own. Barwell. Merkley very much hopes that the players of the golden generation of Czech football players can enter the Czech Football Federation, which will be good for the Czech Football Association. Especially now that Merkley has become the chief executive of UEFA, her vision is getting higher and higher. His sights are now not limited to the Czech Republic, so he wants to be able to promote one of the biggest names in the Czech Republic to become his successor to the Czech Football Association.

Speaking of which, there is no better fit for someone than Nedved. As the first person in Czech football, Nedved's status in Czech football is not ordinary.

"Let me think about it."

"Okay."

…………

Rist's affection for the Czech golden generation is not comparable to that of ordinary players. After all, Rister was able to get to where he is now, because of the Czech golden generation back then.

Nedved, Pobowski and Jankoller were the first people in European football who could establish themselves in European football. So Rist has a very special affection for them. Poboski has already chosen to retire, and Jankoller has also ended his gold rush in the Middle East, even Galasek will retire at the end of the season. One by one, they are leaving, and now it is Nedved, the representative of the Czech golden generation, who is sending away. I always feel bad in my heart.

"Rist, why are you in a bad mood?"

Nikolai. Curtis looked at Rist with some frustration. So asked. Rist shook his head and said, "Pavel. Nedved is ready to retire at the end of the season. ”

It's no secret, and Rist doesn't hide it. Nicholas next to Rist. Curtis played bank, certainly not the bankers of Wall Street. There is not so much money. But it's not a general, and it's a big face in England. This time he watched Southampton with Lister because he had come to discuss the Southampton transfer on behalf of the Liebherr family. The Liebherrs are not a small company, they have more than three billion pounds in assets.

Southampton, of course, needless to say, are more than willing to transfer. Because Southampton's current boss doesn't have bullshit, it should be said that he is relatively poor. If it weren't for Rist's support in the past two years, and even Rister lent Southampton nearly 10 million euros, otherwise Southampton might have been downgraded because of financial problems.

Originally, you and I wished, things were very simple. But Nikolai . Curtis came to Southampton to find out that the influence of Rister in Southampton was too great. He took charge of Southampton's academy and the manager was brought in. Many of the main players in the first team are also his players. Before I came, I never thought that there would be an agent predator like Rist in a League One league like Southampton.

That being the case, Nikolai . Curtis immediately became involved with Ristralala. Nikolai. Curtis negotiated on behalf of the Liebherr family and would be the future chairman of Southampton. At that time, you will need to deal with a top agent like Lister.

"Hasn't he been doing really well this season? How would you choose to retire. ”

Nedved, who is about to be 37 years old, is still the main force of Juventus. It shows how well Nedved is in form. Although the contract with Juventus expires. But there are still plenty of clubs willing to give Nedved a new contract.

"I can't say that either. Maybe he was tired, after all, he would soon be thirty-seven years old. ”

"That's a shame."

Nikolai. Curtis shook his head, also making a look of regret. After all, Nedved should be one of the last few stars of the 72 generation who are still playing. The superstars of the year are basically away from the court, and now Nedved is gone.

"It's the same with a new generation replacing the old."

Although Rist is a little sentimental, he also understands this truth. So quickly sort out the feelings. Laugh at Nikolai. Curtis said: "The Liebherrs are really going to take the chance. Southampton is still a club in the Championship right now, so it shouldn't be too expensive. But next season Southampton will play in the Premier League, which is really profitable. ”

Southampton has finally had something to look like this season. Brendan Rodgers is truly a possession-heavy coach who is in a league of his own in the Championship. With this style of play, Southampton have led the way this season, and it looks like promotion to the Premier League this season should not be a big problem.

"It's not easy in the Premier League."

"It's not easy to say, of course it's not easy. But it's easier said than done. As long as there is money, the Premier League is not a problem. ”

Southampton is definitely not weak at the moment. Schneiderlin in the midfield position and Tino in the midfield position. Costa. The two wings are Lallana and Czech player Feinin. The forward line is the center forward Netsyd Germany, the most talked about among the young generation of the Czech Republic.

These guys have been outstanding in the Championship this season. Lallana has already scored more than 10 goals, and Fenning has scored more than 10. On the other hand, Necid, as the only centre-forward, scored just eight goals. But Necid had nine assists. Known as a striker who assists extra goals.

Although Neshid is hailed as the new Yankoller, he is also different from Yankoller. His header is not as good as Jankoler's, but his technique at his feet is far better than Jankoller's. Nessid likes to drop back to get the ball, and as a high school striker, as long as he drops back, he will immediately lead the opposing defenders. And when he receives the ball, he can easily get rid of the guards. And he can pass the ball very accurately.

Rogers has a very simple routine here. That's when Nesyd drops back to get the ball and then nicely plays the ball to the two wings. Lallana and Fenning would burst in from the flanks and finish at the end. If it were a traditional Premier League team, it would be out of step with the way Nessy played like this. But in Rodgers' control play, Necid's ability is a perfect fit.

When he was in the Czech Republic, he was always the best young talent and the one that Czech football had high hopes for. However, this season, there is another high school striker in the Czech league, and his reputation is even more famous than that of Nesyde, who is currently playing in the Championship. After leaving the Czech league in the past two seasons, he replaced the name of the country in the Czech league. He was Kozak.

A 1.93-meter-tall high school striker, who is not as skilled at his feet as Nesyd, but is tougher and has better headers than Nesyd. Last season he played in the Czech Second Division, scoring nineteen goals in forty-one games. Playing in the Czech First Division this season, he has scored 15 goals in just over half a season so far, and has become the top scorer of the Czech League like Lewandowski in Sparta Prague. It has already attracted the attention of many European clubs.

In fact, Kozak and Newest both came from the academy built by Riester. But when it comes to the academy, Newest is more famous and liked by the coaches. Unexpectedly, Kozak made a preemptive attack and has now begun to go neck and neck with Inner Zealand. The presence of two high school strikers is good news for Czech football. But for coaches, the choice is difficult. Because they are all players in '89 and they're going to be twenty years old soon. At the same age and in the same position, it is estimated that they will become opponents for a lifetime.

"Money?"

"Of course. The Liebherr family has money, and if they take out a little bit of it, it will be enough for a promoted horse like Southampton to be relegated. ”
