"Jochen, you want to ask me what I think about the future of Dortmund?"

Rist and Jochen. The two watched Dortmund together. Dortmund has had good results recently, the main thing is that Dortmund's sponsorship has expired, and Puma is ready to sponsor Dortmund. This is not a whim of Puma.

Because with the Czech players entering Dortmund in a big way this season, Rosicky, Poboski, and Jankulovski in particular are all Puma-sponsored players. It was Klose, who had just joined, because he had been playing in the Czech Republic, especially in Sparta Prague, so he was also sponsored by Puma. With so many Puma-sponsored players all at once, Puma is of course paying attention to Dortmund.

But Dortmund is always uneasy. They are the first football club in Germany to go public, and in the past two years, they have brought in shijie-level players on a large scale. But their shares are not very popular in the stock market, and the stock price continues to fall. Although Dortmund has had a good season this season, the stock price has still fallen, and it has reached 6 euros, which is almost half of the 11 euros at the beginning. But also because of the large number of shijie-level players, Dortmund's results began to rise significantly. At present, it is already beating Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen, and has always ranked first in the Bundesliga.

Such a situation makes Jochen. Caitz was also a little uncertain. Sponsorship of a club is not an easy decision, and more importantly, Dortmund wants to sponsor for a long time.

"Rist, you're not as good as me in running a company. But I'm not as good as you when it comes to football. I believe that you are more expert than me in the operation of football clubs. I'm like you're asking for advice. ”

Although Rist has cooperated with Nike on a large scale in Spain, this does not mean that Rist has to give up his cooperation with Puma. After all, PUMA and the Czech Republic have been cooperating for almost six years, and the cooperation between the two sides has been in all aspects. Even because the cooperation is so close, so at present, as long as Czech football is mentioned, Puma is mentioned, and when Puma is mentioned, everyone can think of Czech football. And Puma is currently the third largest sports brand after Nike and Adidas, and it is developing very fast. Rist never thought of abandoning Puma.

"Jochen, I'll tell you about it."

Rist and Jochen. Caitz has known each other for almost six years, and in addition to cooperation, there are some personal friendships. Therefore, Lister did not hide anything: "Dortmund will definitely have good results in the past two years, but it will only be two or three years." You are better than me in terms of capital operation and operation. Don't you see that Dortmund is dangerous right now? ”

Jochen. Caitz nodded. The Dortmund hierarchy is now hot-headed. But some onlookers were able to see the dangers of Dortmund. Jochen. Caitz also saw some dangers in Dortmund, so he had some hesitation.

"Jochen, let's put it that way. Football is not a money-making industry, and those who can make money with football clubs need a calm executive. And then there's a good, consistent manager. It's like Manchester United, Arsenal have Peter. Kenyon, David. Dunn. Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are also needed. Dortmund doesn't have that. Now it's just relying on the money from the stock market to buy shijie-level stars. I can imagine their next move. ”

There are a few clubs on Shijie that can make money, and there are very few of them. Saying that football clubs can make money is definitely the biggest joke of the 21st century. Ninety percent of football clubs on Shijie do not have the support of the boss behind them. will definitely go bankrupt. There are very few clubs in European football that can make money like Manchester United, Bayern and Arsenal.

"When they can't get any money in the stock market, they will mortgage their stocks, mortgage their stadiums, and they will use all of them anyway as long as they can get money. Until they are going bankrupt. Dortmund's top brass is already insane and completely irrational. This can last for two to three years at most, and I'm sure Dortmund will be very difficult around 2004. ”

Jochen. Caitz listened to Rist's analysis, and his psychology was wow cool and wow cool. Although he also thought that Dortmund was dangerous, he did not expect Lister to be so pessimistic about him.

"Rist, isn't there something serious?"

"No, Jochen. What I said is not serious at all, and the reality will be more serious than I say. I've heard that the Kirsch Group has been having a hard time lately. ”

"You've heard that, too."

Kirsch Group, the largest media group in Germany and Shijie, has a monopoly on broadcasting in the Bundesliga and even bought the rights to broadcast the Shijie Cup in 2002 and 2006. However, it is precisely because of the unbridled and blind expansion that the Kirsch Group is now struggling and has too many debts. There are too many to count.

Many insiders know that the Kirsch Group has a lot of problems right now, but no one can guarantee anything. After all, the Kirsch Group is a large group of companies, and it is not said that it is bankrupt. It's Jochen. Caitz knows some of the insider's story, but he doesn't dare to say that the Kirsch Group can't survive. But Rist knew that in a few months the Kirsch group would go bankrupt. At that time, the blow to the Bundesliga will be fatal, and many Bundesliga clubs that live on broadcast fees have been dealt a fatal blow.

"I see."

Looking at the smiling Rister, Jochen. Caitz nodded. Although there is no guarantee that the Kirsch group will go bankrupt, once he does have a problem, the blow to the Bundesliga will be absolutely fatal.

"I'm talking about the development of Dortmund. As for how to do it, that's your Puma business. ”

Jochen. Caitz smiled. What he thought about was that Rist clearly predicted that Dortmund would collapse, but he put so many of his players in Dortmund. Even Jochen. Caitz could have thought of Rister a long time ago when he thought about how to get his players out of Dortmund. Only the Dortmund hierarchy is now blinded, thinking that Rist really wants to help them.

"Didi-Di-"

"Hello Michael. I know. ”

Rist put down the phone. Against Jochen. Caitz said: "Look, I am a toiler. There is no rest. ”

"Busy, busy means having something to do. Having something to do means having a profit. ”

Jochen. Caitz had a rare joke with Rister. Rist shrugged and said with a smile: "It's hard to make money, it's hard to make money." ”

…………

"Michael, I'm looking for something."

It was Michael who called Rist. Williams. Speaking of which, Michael. Williams has lost his credibility in English football and has even become the biggest laughing stock in agent circles. Because his player Stam was swept away by Alex Ferguson, and he himself as an agent had nothing in this transfer, and he had not even heard of any rumors.

Jason, the son of Alex Ferguson. Ferguson and Lazio have both talked. The commissions inside are also owned by Jason. Ferguson took it. Michael. Williams, as Stam's agent, was left with only Zuihou's signature.

Broker does Michael. Williams' degree. It's just a failure. He is so well-connected in English football, but he has failed so much as an agent that he has become the laughing stock of all his peers. Even Michael. Williams was already discouraged because Ferguson was too unauthentic. It's a humiliation for myself. Even a lot of players don't want to believe Michael. Williams too.

How well do you have a network of contacts? You can't even protect your own players. Ferguson said to clean and clean. And he didn't even give himself a little face. When he arrived in Lazio, he didn't have any bargaining chips to bargain with Lazio. Didn't negotiate a very good salary for Stam. Such an agent doesn't even want to believe the players.

Michael. Williams didn't know that the incident actually had something to do with Rist. Of course, Rist wouldn't be shouting everywhere that he had told Ferguson Stam about his autobiography in the first place. And Ferguson didn't say anything, and everyone outside thought that Ferguson had sold Stam in a fit of rage after seeing him spin. Otherwise, Michael. Williams wouldn't have been in a relationship with Rist until now.

"Rist. Is Valencia's coach Rafa Benitez leaving Valencia at the end of the season? ”

"Yes."

Reesette nodded. If it weren't for Otti, Soler would have fired Benitez on the first day after the election. However, although Benitez is still the manager of Valencia, most people in European football know that Benitez is leaving Valencia. After all, Benitez's contract is about to expire, and the relationship between Esther and Valencia Benitez will not be able to stay in Valencia no matter what.

Rist has been thinking about Benitez's next home. Of course, Benitez, as the youngest winner of the Champions League, has no shortage of next winners. But Rist has never been able to decide which club would be the right fit for Benitez.

If it were '03, Rist would not hesitate to let Benitez move into Chelsea as a coach under Abou. With the support of Abu's strong cheque, it was a real smash in European football. If it were '06, Rister would have let Benitez move into Inter Milan. After taking advantage of the "phone gate", you can make a name for yourself in Serie A and put all your experiences in the Champions League. If it's '04, then Rist will bring Benitez to Liverpool and achieve another glorious Istanbul miracle.

But the problem is now 02. Chelsea now have more than £80 million in debt and have a lot of problems in the Premier League. Inter Milan is firmly suppressed by Milan and Juventus at home, and now Italy is the era of the Holy Alliance, and no matter how strong you are to Inter, you can't be stronger than Moggie. As for the other European giants, they all have their own problems. As for some of the strong European teams, there are no teams that fit Benitez's identity. In the past six months, Benitez has also caused a headache for Rist.

"David. Morse would love to be able to talk to you. ”

"David. Morse? ”

Rist was stunned. There is no one in England who is not familiar with the Morse family, because they have been closely associated with Liverpool for half a century. Now David. Morse still holds 51 per cent of Liverpool's shares, is Liverpool's largest shareholder, and can decide everything about Liverpool. This is the current chairman of Liverpool.

“weishenme？”

"Lister, didn't you watch the news? A few days ago, Coach Houllier was carried to the hospital in midfield and had an eleven-hour operation. ”

"I know."

Reesette nodded. Liverpool have been okay this season, but on October 13, 2001, five days earlier, Houllier suddenly suffered a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital. It took eleven hours of surgery in the hospital to get out of danger. This news is known in European football.

After all, it was Liverpool, a European giant, and England's No. 1 giant. And Houllier is not simple, he has been the coach of the French youth team for nine years and has cultivated two batches of players of the French golden generation. One group is Zidane's group, and the other group is Henry, Trezeguet's group. Therefore, Houllier is a very famous coach in France and a famous coach in Europe. As a result, Houllier fell, and those days were the focus of media attention throughout European football.

"David. Morse wants to talk about whether coach Rafael Benitez can manage Liverpool. (To be continued......)
