"Has Juventus been affected lately?"

The "Phonegate" affair quickly expanded, and the president of the Italian Football Federation had already resigned just three days after the incident came out. And the impact of this matter is getting bigger and bigger, from Italy to European football, and from European football to world football. UEFA and FIFA are starting to pay attention to this matter. Because in the last two decades, this is one of the biggest scandals in world football.

In fact, on the Eastern European side, there are more cases of game manipulation. If not elsewhere, let's talk about Russia, where nearly 2,000 sports people have been assassinated and kidnapped since the collapse of the Soviet Union, most of them related to the football industry. They kidnapped and demanded it, or if they didn't obey, they just buried people. Being assassinated by the underworld is commonplace, and it is not unusual. Even many of the top leaders of the Bulgarian Football Association are from the underworld, and others are inextricably linked to the underworld even if they are not from the underworld.

Eastern European gangs are blatantly controlling the game, kidnapping and threatening players and referees, and even club presidents, whether they are club managers or national team managers, and death threats are common for them not to use the players they have asked to use, as required by some agents with triad backgrounds. Some agents who don't understand the situation in Eastern Europe want to dig into the wall in Eastern Europe, and those underworld agents will let you understand what it means to be a strong dragon and not suppress the snake.

So there are more shady games there. Because he is a Czech agent, Riester knows more about Eastern European football than anyone else. In Eastern Europe, and even in competitions like the Champions League play-offs, there are countless things that can be manipulated. Half of the matches in the Eastern European league are rigged, and few clubs are left alone.

It's a pity that Eastern European football is very backward, and the Italian league is one of the top leagues in Europe. The influence of the two sides is completely different, and no matter how chaotic Eastern Europe is, it does not have much influence on world football. However, Serie A's "Phonegate" is very influential and has attracted the attention of football all over the world.

As an agent, and an agent who has little to do with Italian football, this matter has little impact on Rister. However, the main club in this matter, Juventus, has Liester's ace Nedved. So Rist also came to Turin for the first time.

"How could it not have an effect."

Nedved smiled wryly. Speaking of which, Nedved is a family lover, and such people are players who like to be comfortable. Nedved has always felt good in Lazio since he came to Lazio. There was even a time when he was willing to stay at Lazio rather than move to another club. And after transferring to Juventus, he regarded Turin as his home and was unwilling to toss.

People like Nedved are easy to give affection as long as they are adapted. It's been five years since he came to Nedved and he calls Juventus his home. He has a very strong relationship with Juventus, and now that Juventus has come out with such a thing, he is still very sad. Because Nedved understood. This time it wasn't that easy.

"Thankfully, the season is almost over."

"Yes."

Nedved nodded. He understood that the protagonist of this incident was the top management of Juventus. The Juventus board of directors has resigned as a whole. As for the Moji that Chifu is referring to. It's not going to be easy now. Because he is the biggest implicator in this matter, there is already information that the first defendant of the prosecution is Moji. If something as big as this happened in the middle of the season, Juventus would definitely be in turmoil.

"What do you think?"

"What do you mean?"

Nedved didn't understand what Rist meant. Rist looked at Nedved and said, "Pavel, this time it's too big. Juventus will certainly be heavily fined. Both Serie A titles will be stripped and will definitely be relegated. No one can undo it. I wanted to ask you about your plans, there are still plenty of places to go if you want to leave Juventus. ”

Although Nedved and the others understood the seriousness of the matter this time, they did not have a complete idea of what would happen. Hearing what Lister said, Nedved was surprised: "Will it really be relegated?" ”

"Of course. According to Juventus' current situation, they should be relegated to the third division. However, with the strength of the Agnelli family, plus the clubs such as Milan and Fiorentina this time, their overall strength is still very strong. So it won't be too serious, and it will be relegated to the second division. Downgrading, though, that's for sure. Don't have any doubts. ”

"Hey—"

Nedved sighed. He didn't expect it to be so serious. Although Juventus is deeply involved, Juventus is deeply entrenched in Italian football.

"Pavel, you will soon be thirty-four. This is arguably your last consideration. ”

Nedved is old. Nedved was actually a late bloomer, having only begun to become famous at Euro '96. Nedved, who was twenty-four years old at the time, was not very famous, far less than the likes of Borg, Poboski, and Smitchell in the Czech national team. I came to Lazio until a year or two after playing in Italian football. It was only then that he established his absolute main position in Lazio. It would be another year or two before he became one of the top midfielders in Italian football. At the age of 30, he led the Czech national team to the World Cup and became one of the best stars of the time.

At the age of thirty, Nedved was only beginning to become a true superstar at the age of thirty. For the next three years, world football lacked a real representative star. Therefore, the best star in European football during this time was Nedved. Honors such as the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year came one after another, and he became the most representative star of the time.

Thirty-four, Nedved is already thirty-four. One of his old partners, Paul Pobowski, is ready to retire this summer, while Jankoller is no longer able to adapt to the Premier League and is ready to leave Liverpool and the Premier League at the end of the season. But Nedved has been excellent this season and there is still no shortage of buyers. But he is thirty-four years old, and at his current age, the choice now is the last choice. Whatever Nedved chooses, it will be the last choice of his career.

"What will happen if I stay at Juventus?"

"You'll get a reputation for loyalty, but again, your salary will drop a lot. Although Juventus is a giant, once they are relegated, they will cut the team's budget. Even if you stay, you'll have to cut your salary, I guess it's going to be halved. ”

Nedved's current salary at Juventus is not very high, with an annual salary of only 4.5 million euros. Stars of the 70s at his level abound with higher salaries than him. After Juventus' relegation. Nedved's salary was half of what it was.

"Lister, I'm old. I would still prefer to stay in Turin if I could. ”

Nedved was not a fool, but he was thirty-four years old. At the age of thirty-four, he has already consumed a lot of heroism. Plus Nedved reached his peak at Juventus and has enough feelings for Juventus. He didn't want to take risks again when he was old.

Reesette nodded. Truth be told, Rist also doesn't want the current Nedved to leave Juventus. He is already standing at the pinnacle, don't have any problems when he is old. It's better to stay at Juventus honestly and keep your reputation for loyalty.

"Okay, Pavel I know."

Rist's eyes rolled, since Nedved wanted to stay, he couldn't just stay. You have to get the benefits you deserve. Otherwise, I'll be sorry for myself.

"Pavel. Soon a reporter will be looking for you. Since they have all decided to stay. When it comes to journalists, you're generous. Dafang said that even if Juventus is relegated to the third division, you are willing to share the ups and downs with Juventus, even if you don't need a salary, you have to make a contribution to Juventus. The gesture is sufficient, you have to tell them. Unless Juventus gives up on you, you won't leave Juventus. ”

In terms of Nedved's commercial development, Lister is doing well. Nedved is a representative of Puma and has developed two types of brands with Puma, receiving 5 million euros a year in endorsement fees and nearly 6 million euros in sales shares. In addition to Puma, Nedved is also the star of Pepsi and the face of Rolex watches. The car he endorses is GM's Hummer brand.

But Rist was not satisfied. So far, Riester has made Nedved a tough guy image, and now Riester is going to make Nedved a loyal image. This kind of image is still very useful in the business world, and there are many brands that are willing to work with such stars.

A lot of small English teams have such loyal players. It's a pity that their influence is too low. But once a top superstar like Nedved has that kind of image, it's very useful for commercial development.

And once Nedved plays in the Italian second division, then many brands that originally cooperated with him are probably not satisfied and will not pay the endorsement fee in full. So Rist had to think of another way not to let those brands have this idea. After all, Nedved's annual business income is around 20 million euros. That's not a small amount. Because he plays in the Italian second division, this part of the interests is damaged, and Riester will not do it.

"This ......"

Nedved was smart enough to understand what Rist meant at once. But Nedved wasn't good at these things, so he was a little hesitant. Rist shook his head and said earnestly: "Pavel, you are the greatest star in the history of Czech football. When you retire, you'll be a figure in Czech football. Either you have to become a coach, or you have to go to the Football Association or UEFA or FIFA to speak for Czech football. There are some things that have to be learned. ”

Nedved's influence is huge, and Lister and Merkley have long thought about it. As the greatest star in the history of Czech football, and as one of the top superstars born in the 70s, who can be on a par with Zidane and Ronaldo, Nedved's future is not just about him. His future should be closely linked to Czech football.

"And you're not wrong. Aren't you willing to stay in Turin? Let's just tell the truth. ”

"I see."

Nedved nodded. Although not used to this, Nedved also understood what Rist meant. Only then did Rist smile and say, "Pavel, what is your current salary?" When you get the praise of public opinion this time, your business income will be able to increase a lot, and your reputation will be even better. Compared to that, the loss of that little salary is nothing. ”

Nowadays, the commercial income of European football is becoming more and more important. Of course, Rist understands that as the number of nouveau riche increases, so does the salary of the players. The weekly salary is 200,000 pounds, the weekly salary is 300,000 pounds, and even the annual salary of 20 million euros that Barcelona gives Messi after tax in history. But for now, Juventus' salary is still too low.

At the beginning, he owed Moggie a favor, but with Moggie leaving football, this favor was not repaid. Since he is not yet Moji's favor, he will return it to Juventus by the way in the future. If Juventus are willing, they will introduce them to a few good players at a good price.

"Alright, Pavel, I'll come over and see what you mean. But it's because of Italian football that I don't like to go into Italian football. Look, something has finally happened. ”
