"Muller, Thomas. Muller. Young Muller, Gilberto. Silva, he cut off Muller's ball. ”

Rist has been busy improving Messi's various commercial contracts, and the power of a Ballon d'Or is just different. Then it's time to get busy with Liverpool. By March 2010, John . Thierry Henry is officially completing the Liverpool takeover.

Thierry Henry bought Liverpool for £300 million. To be honest, this is completely inconsistent with the status of Liverpool's club, what kind of club is Liverpool. It was the number one club in England and the top club in European football. Liverpool currently have the most top-flight titles in English football and the most Champions League titles.

Even in the number of times English clubs have won the Champions League, the Liverpool family accounts for half. Such a top giant, if it is normal circumstances, at least more than one billion pounds, even if the situation is not good, it should be sold for seven or eight billion pounds. But it only sold 300 million pounds, which made Hicks and Gillette quite helpless. They also claimed last season that they would not talk about it without £700 million. But now the world economy is getting worse and worse, and the two of them can't stand it, so they can only transfer it to Henry.

It's all over, and it's the end of March. The Champions League has already reached the quarter-finals. The most hurt in this season's Champions League are the Serie A teams, who were eliminated by two Serie A giants in the group stage. One is Milan and the other is Juventus. And in the quarter-finals, Napoli met Real Madrid again.

Of course, there is also a more unlucky club. That's Real Madrid. Florentino is already in a rage, because European football is clearly suppressing Real Madrid. Real Madrid had already met the group of death in the group stage, and finally broke through from the group stage.

The quarter-finals turned out to be another hard bone, Alex Ferguson's Manchester United. Manchester United have been beaten by Manchester City in the league this season, but he is still one of the strongest Premier League giants. Fortunately, Mourinho's fate was tough, and the score was 3-3 in the two legs, and finally beat Manchester United by virtue of away goals. It is not easy to eliminate Manchester United, and Real Madrid is also out of the strength to drink milk in the face of Manchester United.

But unfortunate things followed one another. In the quarterfinals, Real Madrid's opponent became Serie A upstart Napoli. Napoli is not as famous as other giants though. But it is the most attacking club in Italian football. This season even played a 4-0 massacre of Juventus. The midfield composed of Lavic, Falcao, Sanchez, Afele, Gago, and Nemanja Matic is strong, and it is currently in Serie A that has challenged the Serie A champion.

So much so that Real Madrid was beaten by Napoli on the road. Fortunately, Mourinho's defensive system built in a year is not bad, coupled with super counter-attacking ability, and he drew 1-1 with Napoli away. But it also made Real Madrid very uncomfortable. Because in this game. Real Madrid received four yellow cards in order to cope with the breakthrough of Ravic and Sanchez.

Real Madrid is very powerful, and the bench is very thick. But from the group stage, they are also exhausted against one strong team after another. By this time, even Kaka and Ribery were starting to get hurt, and Essien's body was a little tired. After all, they played Milan, Manchester City, Manchester United again, and Napoli.

And Real Madrid has a very good reason to be angry. Because as it stands, they will face Bayern Munich in the semi-finals. Because Bayern Munich faced Sparta Prague in the quarterfinals. This went on to the finals. I'm definitely going to lose a lot of key players.

Now that's the game between Sparta Prague and Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich are hosting Sparta Prague. After Sparta Prague made it out of the group stage, they met Olympiacos in the quarter-finals. They easily defeated their opponents 3-1 over two legs and entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League. In the first round of the group stage and the knockout round, UEFA gave Sparta Prague enough face.

It should be said that since Platini took office, that is, since 07. Sparta Prague's draw in the Champions League has been good. It has not been too difficult for Sparta Prague to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League in recent years. It's just that in the quarter-finals, it's impossible not to face a strong team.

"Gilberto. Silva, handed the ball to Pastore. Pastore, a player who just moved to Sparta Prague last winter, is fast. Pastore, already a breakthrough of Schweinsteiger, Pastore! ”

Pastore is known as the "Argentine Kaka" because of his excellent speed. After receiving the ball. Pastorey swept past Schweinsteiger with a single spite.

"Pastore, pass!"

"Lewandowski, turn around! Lewandowski's action is very coherent in this ball, Lewandowski, shoot! ”

Lewandowski is a lone striker at Sparta Prague and is eyed by Bayern's Van Bitten. So Pastore gave him a pass when he came. He had his back to Bayern's goal.

At this time, Vidal ran up and came to meet Lewandowski. Van Bommel was worried about Vidal's long-range shot, so he kept following him. However, many people thought that Lewandowski would pass the ball to Vidal, who was cut in behind, because he had not many options.

But Lewandowski surprised Van Bitten. Because after Lewandowski stopped the ball. It looks like it's going to be given to Vidal. But suddenly, he kicked the ball to his left with the inside of his right foot, and then quickly turned to the left. Then before Van Bitten could react, it was a long-range shot. Actually, it wasn't a long shot, because the ball was on the line of the penalty area.

“al!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

"Lewandowski's goal was so sudden that it didn't give Bayern's backline any chance at all. Van Bitten was completely shaken by Lewandowski, and Bout couldn't react. ”

"Lewandowski, this is a player from Poland, he is only twenty-one years old. Another outstanding striker from the Czech league. So far this season he has scored 26 league goals in the Czech League and six in the Champions League. He is the striker with the highest goal percentage in Sparta Prague in recent seasons. ”

"One to zero. Sparta Prague took a 1-0 lead over Bayern Munich away from home thanks to Lewandowski's goal, which was an extremely valuable away goal. ”

Simeone couldn't help but wave his fist when he saw Lewandowski's goal. After choosing Sparta Prague, he himself did not expect Spartak Prague to be so good. There are so many good players.

A group of young geniuses. Plus there's Gilberto. Champion-level veterans like Silva and Jankulovski are in charge. After about a year and a half of Simeone's tutelage, Sparta Prague is now much stronger. In this season's Champions League, he went all the way to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and Simeone is ambitious. He wants to be able to complete a dark horse legend.

"Lister, your Sparta Prague is really not short of good players."

"The Bayern academy is good. Coach Louis van Gaal still has a knack for coaching young players. ”

Although it was a match between Sparta Prague and Bayern Munich. But Rist and Christian are the same as Christian. Nelinger sat together. In fact, in the box in many club stadiums, it is very good to have half of the ten people watching the game, and even one or two people can follow the game under normal circumstances. Except for a few people, basically the boxes in the stadium are commercial boxes, and many people are here to talk about business in the name of watching football. It's like they go to the golf course to talk about business.

This is the case with Rist and Nelinger. Although the game was a two-sided affair, Rist and Nelinger had other things to talk about, so they sat on the other side.

"But it's impossible to rely on youth training alone."

"Yes. At present, there are no big clubs in European football that can succeed on the academy alone. ”

"Lister, what do you think of our Bayern proposal?"

Bayern's results this season have not been very good. Although there has been a big change, and Van Gaal has also promoted many youth players. Of course, Bayern's academy players have performed well, but this year's results are not very good. Currently in the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg are both very strong, and Bayern does not have any advantage.

The Champions League is also bumpy, look at this game. Facing Sparta Prague from the Czech Republic at home, Bayern Munich was not able to win easily. Instead, he was beaten by Sparta Prague. Therefore, the Bayern hierarchy understands that Bayern will continue to invest heavily in its reconstruction.

Bayern is rich. Just a few months ago, Bayern also partnered with Audi AG in the form of equity and sponsorship. Audi AG wants to inject more than 100 million euros into Bayern. There are also a number of other joint projects, which add up to almost 200 million euros. In European football, it is rare to find a commercial contract as good as Bayern Munich. The addition of this fund allows Bayern not to care about the loan at the Allianz Arena and not to have a headache for lack of money. Therefore, they have the confidence to invest in the transfer market.

"Frank's annual salary after tax at Real Madrid is nine million euros."

It's not that Lister underestimates Bayern, it's that the highest annual salary in Bayern's history is Toney. He is five and a half million euros after tax. Of course, Lahm is currently signing a new contract with Bayern, which is estimated to be 6 million euros after tax. This should be the highest salary for Bayern. Bayern is not short of money. But this is Bayern's salary system. Rist doesn't know if Bayern can change their salary system. But Ribery's salary is too high, and Ribery enjoys a high salary of 9 million euros after tax at Real Madrid, and it is impossible to sacrifice his salary for a move to Bayern.

"Lister, it's impossible for us to come up with a fixed annual salary of nine million euros after tax."

Nelinger nodded, although Bayern will change the salary system, it is impossible to come out with a player of nine million euros after tax at once. But then he said, "But." Rist. We will not let Ribery's income suffer. We are willing to give Ribery an annual salary of seven million euros after tax, and as for some of the lost salary, we will give it to Ribery in the form of a high bonus. And Adidas is willing to increase the sponsorship fee, and we can share this part of the sponsorship fee with Ribery. ”

Sponsorship of Bundesliga clubs is relatively low. Nike and Adidas sponsor many clubs in the Bundesliga, but none of them have a sponsorship fee of more than 10 million euros. The highest is Nike's sponsorship of Dortmund's 6.5 million euros, and Adidas' sponsorship of Bayern is only 5 million euros. But if Bayern bring in Ribery, one of Adidas' top names. Then Adidas is willing to raise some sponsorship fees.

Adidas is currently actively facilitating the transfer. Bayern is not only a sponsor of Adidas, Adidas is also a shareholder of Bayern and owns 10% of Bayern's shares. Because of Bayern's depravity in recent years, Adidas can't look past it. Bayern lack a representative superstar, so they will be more active in promoting the transfer of Ribery.

"We can talk."

Reesette nodded. Ribery is now in an awkward position at Real Madrid, and Rister is hoping that Ribery can transfer. It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. In Real Madrid, it is better to be the core of Bayern, which is more majestic. And it is more beneficial to develop his commercial market. Adidas also made it clear that as long as Ribery transfers to Bayern, then Adidas will focus on promoting Ribery and will also increase the sponsorship fee for Ribery.

"But...... Does Bayern have the money to buy Frank? ”

"Of course."
