Villa is twenty-one years old, which is already late from the beginning. Not to mention players like Ronaldo, Raul, Anelka, Kluivert, and Owen who have already made a name for themselves in Shijie football at the age of seventeen or eighteen, let's talk about those players who are considered to be late bloomers.

Shevchenko arrived at Milan at the age of twenty-three, which is considered to be the main European league. But Shevchenko was already famous in European football as early as the age of 21. Especially at Camp Nou, the hat-trick against Barcelona made his fame reach its peak. At that time, the forward line formed by Shevchenko and Rebrov was really a big kill in European football, and many European giants became their ghosts. Therefore, Shevchenko only entered the wealthy family a little late, and the time to become famous is still very early, which cannot be regarded as a late bloomer.

Speaking of Henry, it wasn't until Arsenal that he became the formidable King of Highbury, the all-powerful King of Highbury. But Henry was already playing in the Shijie Cup with the French national team at the age of 21, scoring three goals in the Shijie Cup. It was introduced by Juventus at a price of more than 10 million. In France, he was already known as a supreme genius before he was 20 years old.

Then there's United's Ruud van Nistelrooy. Everyone said he was a late bloomer, but Ruud van Nistelrooy did well in the Eredivisie at the age of 21 and entered PSV Eindhoven at the age of 22. At the age of twenty-two, he became PSV Eindhoven's top scorer and scored more than 30 goals in the Eredivisie. It's just that in the Netherlands at that time, there were still strongmen such as Kluivert and Mackay, so Vanney did not appear.

At the age of twenty-one, Villa, who is still fighting in the lower leagues, has a really low starting point. But Rist didn't care. Because Villa is a well-known consistent goalscorer in football. Whether it was in the Spanish second division or later in La Liga, his goal rate was very consistent. Since coming to La Liga, he has scored more than 20 goals every season, whether it is in Zaragoza or Valencia. La Liga alone has never scored less than fifteen.

Villa is a prolific goalscorer, and if it hadn't given way to Messi at Barcelona, Villa's goal percentage wouldn't have dropped so quickly and so much. Such an excellent striker, Riester has to polish it well. What if the starting point is high, like Real Madrid's Portillo and Soldado, which starting point is not higher than Villa, but Zuihou's achievements are completely heaven and earth compared to Villa.

"Rist, you're here."

Villa are now a nobody, despite scoring a lot of goals in the Spanish second division. But still. There aren't even a few La Liga clubs interested in him. Lister couldn't let him do that. Rist was going to take the initiative to find him a club. Planning belongs to his future.

"Augusto, long time no see."

In fact, the two hadn't seen each other for months, but Rist looked at Rondoiro and sighed in his heart. Rondoiro is sick because of his current obesity. But before looking at Rondoiro. This person is always confident. Very confident in their abilities. Of course, as a put on the verge of bankruptcy of A Coruña. Single-handedly building a La Liga powerhouse, Rondoiro has enough confidence to be proud. Especially when Deportivo La Liga won three times in a row, it was really majestic.

But looking at Rondoiro again after a few months was completely different. Rondoiro is still obese. But the radiant look that was at the beginning is completely gone. Instead, he frowned deeply, and the exhaustion on his face could not be stopped. Rist knew that Rondolpho was having a hard time now. Because in the 21st century, Spain's economy is getting worse and worse. These Spanish clubs are even more difficult. Spanish clubs have fewer and fewer fans watching the game live, resulting in lower and lower matchday revenues. In addition, Real Madrid and Barcelona monopolize the broadcast fees of La Liga, and the broadcast fee income of small and medium-sized clubs in La Liga is also getting lower and lower.

So much so that the clubs that invested heavily at the beginning are now more and more difficult one by one. Florentino turned Real Madrid's economic situation around with superstar policies, while Barcelona were increasingly indebted under Gasparte's leadership. However, both clubs have huge government support behind them and are not afraid of debt. But not Deportivo La Coruna, which now has a limited income and too much to spend.

Deportivo really had no choice but to sell players to get through this summer. Deportivo striker Mackay and main left-midfielder Ze Roberto were both sold by Deportivo La Coruna. In the past few years, Deportivo heavyweights have made a lot of transfers. From Rivaldo Dow Poborsky, plus Mackay and Ze Roberto. The main lineup of the three consecutive La Liga championships has basically been sold out. Therefore, a decline in performance is inevitable. But being able to help the team through the temporary crisis is a good option for Deportivo La Coruna.

It is a pity that the crisis was short-lived, but the economic crisis of A Coruña has not been completely resolved. So Rondoirou, the president of Deportivo La Coruna, is now very upset.

"Rist, how do you have time to get to us A Coruña."

Deportivo La Coruna is now down, not only in the transfer market, but also in salary. In the past, when Deportivo was in the limelight, many agents and predators had a relationship with Deportivo La Coruna. But by now, many brokers have abandoned Deportivo La Coruna. Because for the broker predators, Deportivo La Coruna has no oil or water to fish. Rondoiro can also be regarded as a teacher of human warmth.

"Augusto, how is the club doing?"

"It's okay."

Deportivo La Coruna is difficult, but Rondoiro can't always say how difficult he is in front of Lister, and of course Rondoiro knows that he doesn't say it.

"Augusto, after Mackay is gone, Deportivo lacks a good striker."

Mackay is a sharpshooter, don't look at the Dutch national team is very unsatisfactory. But he is definitely a strong player, and when Deportivo La Liga swept La Liga, Mackay's contribution was huge. Since Mackay's departure from Deportivo La Coruna, Tristan has performed well, but Deportivo La Coruna has no striker to match Mackay. It's hard to find a striker like Mackay who is fast, impactful, and capable of shooting.

"Lister, you're not here today to introduce me to a striker, are you?"

Rondoiro became serious. Rondoiro is smart. Hearing Rister's words, I guessed what Rister meant. Rist smiled and nodded, although Rondoiro had a lot of things going on during this time, his smart head didn't stop turning.

"Augusto, I'm going to introduce you to a good player for a good price. Just like when I introduced you to Mackay, he is definitely a player with outstanding quality. And it's not too expensive, no more than three million euros at most, or around two million euros if you negotiate it. ”

"Who is it?"

Rondoiro raised his eyebrows. Two million euros, three million euros is not a lot of money in European football at the moment. Now any powerful player is worth tens of millions. If you can use this money to buy a powerful player, even if it is a little worse than Mackay, it is a very good deal.

"You Spanish natives, David Brown, who is currently playing at Sporting Gijón. Villa. ”

"David. Villa? Is he really that strong? He's just a player in the second division. ”

Rondoiro now has no money in his hands and is starting to play to his stingy strengths again. Look around for some cheap players. So I also paid attention to David. Villa. But he didn't do it. Because he doesn't think Villa is strong. After all, for Deportivo La Coruna now, a few million euros is a lot of money.

"Augusto, how many years have you known me?"

"It's been more than six years since '96."

Rist and Rondoiro first met in 1996. At that time, the European Championship had just ended. Lister met Rondoiro because of Poboski's transfer issues.

"We've worked together a lot in the past six years. Augusto. I'll just ask you. When I was doing business with you. I fooled you once. The players I introduced to you have had a time when you lost money. ”

Rist spoke with confidence. In the past six years or so, there has been many cooperation between Lister and A Coruña, and Lister has not ever cheated Deportivo La Coruna. In the big picture, of course. Rist did trap Deportivo La Coruna. At the beginning, Rist and Rivaldo's agent teamed up to increase Deportivo LaCoruna's salary for the benefit of their players. Today, Deportivo has fallen to this point, and there is definitely a factor that Rister contributed to in the first place. Even Rist prefers the current A Coruña.

However, if a single pen is pulled out, Deportivo earns money for every cooperation. Therefore, Rist is not weak at all, and he speaks eloquently. "Augusto, I have two people in Spain's new generation of strikers. One is Atletico Madrid's Fernando. Fernando Torres, the other one is Sporting Gijón's David. Villa. Fernando is Atletico's baby, you can't take it. At the moment La Liga clubs like Zaragoza are interested in David, but I think Deportivo La Coruna is the best fit for David. Of course, Deportivo is in great need of a goalscorer like David. ”

"Augusto, I don't say big things. But I can guarantee that David is definitely the most consistent shooter. By the time you Deportivo La Coruna scored around twenty goals in a season, there would be no problem. ”

Rist said he didn't say big things, but Rondoiro looked at him with some suspicion. Because the current La Liga is not the later La Liga, the La Liga ten years later will be the league where Ronaldo and Messi brush up on data. Scoring more than forty goals in La Liga in one season is all too easy. But the current La Liga is different, and the ones who can score 20 goals are all sharpshooters. To be able to score thirty goals, that's a super goalscorer.

That's why Rondolpho was surprised to hear that Villa was able to score twenty goals. Having worked with Rist for many years, Rondoiro also knows that Rist is not a big talker.

"Rist—"

"Augusto, trust me. If he doesn't score more than fifteen goals in a season at Deportivo La Coruna, I'll take him for twice the price he paid for his transfer. ”

Rondoiro slapped the table and said loudly, "Okay, Riester. I believe you. ”

Millions of euros only. If you can really buy a good goalscorer for millions of euros, it is indeed very haode. And as Rist said, after so many years of working with Rist, Rist has never lied to himself.

Rist smiled. Rist was delighted in his heart. Rister is looking around at all the La Liga clubs and thinks Deportivo La Coruna is the most suitable.

Villa is a very fast, jishu good guy and of course very good at shooting. Villa has a set of both counterattacks and positional warfare. Although Deportivo is now in decline, there are still players in midfield who can pass the ball like Dejaminha and Belleron. There's also a center forward like Tristan up front to protect you. It can be said that Villa is definitely much better in A Coruña than in Zaragoza in history.

Villa were able to score seventeen La Liga goals in their first season after moving to Zaragoza in '03. Rister believes there will be more goals to be scored in Deportivo Villa.

"Augusto, I would like to continue working with A Coruña. If you have any difficulties, or if you need any players, you can always come to me. ”

The more Deportivo fell, the happier Rist became. Although Rist and Rondoiro have some personal friendships, they are nothing compared to future business. The more Deportivo declined, the easier it was for Rist to control Deportivo La Coruna.

"Xiexie." (To be continued......)
