The second match of the Champions League quarter-finals has just begun, and it is already a big surprise. Milan, which was originally a certainty, actually missed the front and was beaten 4-0 by Deportivo La Coruna away from home. There was one of the biggest comebacks in the knockout rounds of this season's Champions League.

Carlo Ancelotti has once again become the laughing stock of European football. Carlo Ancelotti may be a well-known coach among the younger generation, but he would not have had such a high reputation if it weren't for the fame he had accumulated as a player. Ancelotti was known as the "second millennium" when he was at Juventus, and every time he dropped the chain at a critical moment, he failed to win the championship several times.

Although he won a Champions League title in Milan, he saved his image in time. But the fiasco cast a shadow over his coaching career once again. After all, this is simply too shameful, and it is impossible for someone to complete such a big turnaround.

However, Milan became a laughing stock and Ancelotti became a laughing stock, but Deportivo La Coruna, who also used Milan and Ancelotti as a background, became famous. This is even more true for Lister, who has nothing to do with Milan, Carlo Ancelotti and Lister.

"Sandro, what about my recommendation?"

Before the Barcelona election in 03 began, Rist had recommended many players to Russell. One of the most highly recommended is Villa de la Coruña. At that time, Lister said that Villa was more suitable for Barcelona than Kluivert and Saviola. At that time, Villa was just a miscellaneous fish who had just come from the Spanish second division to the first division, and Rosell still had some doubts. But now no one questions Villa.

"Rist. You're amazing. ”

Russell admires Rist from the bottom of his heart. I used to know that Rist was powerful, otherwise it would not have been possible to recruit so many good players. But through Villa, Russell knows more about Rist's power. Villa was 20 years old at the time and was still playing in the Spanish second division. Although the goals are not insignificant, there are not many La Liga clubs paying attention to him.

Among players of his age, or even two or three years younger than him, there are many who are more famous than him. Among the youth teams of those giants and powerhouses in La Liga, there are really countless famous strikers. Many of the second teams of the La Liga powerhouses are playing in the Spanish second division or the Spanish third division. Because of their different backgrounds, they are more likely to receive media attention.

On the contrary, a player like Villa without any background. It will be ignored by everyone. But there was one person who discovered it. That's Lister. Rist took a fancy to Villa, who was still in the Spanish second division, and then invested in him. Without Rist's vision of heroes, Villa would certainly not be able to play in the Champions League.

"Sandro, I have a lot of shortcomings. I have also done a lot of shady things. But there is a point. I can say that with confidence. That is, I would never harm my allies. Anyone I work with, I'll do my best. Any player I introduce to my allies will not go against my conscience. ”

Rister is confident in this. Of course, Rist did not dare to completely say that he did not have the slightest stain. When he first cooperated with A Coruña, he did not stop his growing ambitions in the face of Rondoldro. On the contrary, it is encouraged. Including Dortmund at the beginning, Rist knew that they would be defeated if it went on like that, but he didn't stop it. Even Rist looked forward to the blind expansion of Deportivo La Coruna and Dortmund, wishing they were on the verge of bankruptcy.

However, although Rist did not stop Deportivo La Coruna and Borussia Dortmund in this regard, Rister could pat his chest and ensure that when they introduced players, they introduced the most Haode players. He didn't introduce them to any crooked melons and cracked dates, and Rist thought he had done nothing stained in this regard.

"Rist, we're allies."

"Of course."

"Haha. It's April, Liester, and we're going to talk about Villa. ”

Today, Russell invited Rister for the sake of Villa. Barcelona's current results are okay, but they are far from what Rosell has in mind. Rijkaard wasn't very fond of Kluivert and Saviola.

Kluivert's business is the best. Laporta, although he is a big admirer of Cruyff, is getting more and more pace to clean up Dutch players. A large number of Dutch players have been dealt with in 03, and now there are still Kluivert, Overmars, Cocu and others, who were just not able to deal with it in time, and they will definitely be dealt with this summer.

The biggest problem is Saviola. Saviola's salary is too high, so it's frozen there now. And it's not just the high salary, the big five-year contract that is signed. Many teams wanted to buy Saviola, but Saviola's high salary discouraged them. Laporta wanted to cut Saviola's salary, but Saviola didn't agree, so there was no way at all.

Saviola's agent is a hob meat, and no matter how much Barcelona doesn't like him, he doesn't agree to a pay cut. This made Barcelona executives helpless. So Rosell is ready to bring in a striker and then put Saviola on the bench completely. When the time comes, it will be interesting to see if Saviola continues to hold on like this.

"Sandro, it's easy. If you look at David's goal rate, David is currently the most haode striker in La Liga. ”

This season is not only a dark horse season in European football, but many dark horse strikers have also quickly become famous this season. Let's not talk about other stadiums, let's talk about La Liga. Villarreal Flan who has just arrived in La Liga, Milito from Estrimadura club, Eto'o from Mallorca and Villa from Deportivo La Coruna. Among these players, Eto'o has some fame before, such as Forlan was swept away by Manchester United, Milito has just had a little fame in Argentine football, or is disliked by Roma, and Villa is also a player who has only been in La Liga for half a year.

However, at the moment, several of them have scored goals in La Liga and are at the top of the scorer charts. Beat the likes of Ronaldo, Raul, Kluivert and Saviola.

"Sort of."

Russell did not refute. Villa's strength this season is not only due to the fact that they have scored many goals in La Liga, but also in the Champions League. So far, Villa has scored more than twenty goals in La Liga. Seven goals have been scored in the Champions League and thirty goals should not be a problem at the end of the season. He is arguably the most fierce striker in Europe this season.

Russell, while not refuting, was also not sure. Because Russell knew that as long as he praised Villa according to Lister's words, then Rist would immediately overcharge Villa's price. After all, Villa is only twenty-two years old now, and he still belongs to a very young category.

However, Rist will not let Rosell get his wish, and said with a smile: "Sandro, judging from the performance this season, David and Atletico Madrid's Fernando are a level star. Even this season David has performed better than Fernando. ”

Russell, who was listening to Lister, couldn't help but take a breath. Who in La Liga didn't know that Rister had negotiated a sky-high contract for Torres, the most amazing contract under the age of 20 in European football. Even Torres's contract can be compared to the contract of those superstars of Real Madrid, and it caused a sensation in European football when he was signed. Let's just say that next season is under Torres' contract. Torres will earn €5.7 million a year next season.

Now Lister Nabilia and Torres compared. It is clear that they want to negotiate a sky-high contract for Villa. Russell quickly remembered one person, and that was Saviola, who was now smashed in his hands. He won the Golden Boot and Golden Ball at the World Youth Championships that year, and was praised by Shijie Media as the "successor of Maradona", which far exceeded the current Villa.

Precisely because of this. At that time, Gaspat was impatient to sign a high salary with Saviola. There is also a five-year contract. But now it's smashed in the hands. Russell didn't dare to take such a risk. So the eyeballs rolled. And he laughed. Looking at Lister, he said, "Lister, you should know the current situation of our club. We're not going to sign the same contract now. ”

Reesette nodded. Rister was involved in Barcelona's player transfer and salary negotiations, and he still has a salary at Barcelona. Although Rist doesn't like that salary. But this is all because of Lister's involvement in Barca's transfer negotiations and salary negotiations. Rister is well aware of the current Barça salary system.

Since the arrival of the duo of Laporta and Rosell at Barcelona, Barca's player contracts have been fixed salary plus bonuses. Among them, the fixed salary is not to mention compared with the giants, but it is very low compared with many strong teams. Just like Ronaldinho, who is currently the best in Barcelona, the current fixed salary is less than three million euros.

But Barcelona's prize money is high. Goal bonuses, assist bonuses, winning bonuses, and championship bonuses are all very high, three or four times that of many giants and strong teams, and even more than five or six times as high as others. Laporta and Rosell believe that only such a model can motivate the players and keep them from slacking off. When he first designed this series, Lister was also involved, so Lister knows it better than anyone else.

"Sandro, I respect Barcelona's current salary system and model, after all, this system and model also have my sweat. In that case, I wouldn't ask for too many conditions. According to Barcelona's salary system, I don't want the salary of the first tranche to be demanding. After all, David is the best striker this season and should be able to get the top scorer in La Liga. I think even if David can't get the same salary as Ronaldinho, he should be on the same salary as him. ”

Russell couldn't help but smile wryly and looked at Rist and shook his head. In fact, Villa has been doing very well since the beginning of the season this season, so in the winter Rosell wanted to talk about Villa. But he didn't have time to talk about it at the time, and of course Rist always avoided him. At that time, Ronaldinho's brother began to come and go in and out of his office frequently. His request was simple, to help Ronaldinho improve a contract.

Rusell just thought it was Ronaldinho's personal affair at the time. After all, Ronaldinho performed very well in Barcelona, and his brilliant dribbling and passing were recognized by all Barcelona members. Therefore, it took several months to get Ronaldinho's new contract with Ronaldinho's brother Assi.

Looking back at Assi's actions now, Russell fully understood. Assis was egged on by Rist, and his support. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, after these things were connected, Russell figured it all out at once. Rist avoided himself and then put pressure on Rondoiro to make Rondoiro spit out a lot of benefits when Zuihou signed a new contract.

Then as soon as he turned around, he instigated Ronaldinho to give Ronaldinho a higher salary. When Ronaldinho's salary was negotiated, Rist came to negotiate with him, and then he wanted to get a satisfactory contract for Villa according to Ronaldinho's new contract. Russell didn't know what to say.

Rist really has all the benefits in his hands. Shared the benefits from Deportivo La Coruna, and then, in order to raise Villa's salary, first test the waters with Ronaldinho.

When I think of that Russell, I think of Ronaldinho's brother, that fool with nostrils in the sky, and Rossell is funny when he thinks about it. He really thought he was very good, but he was put in front by Lister to block the bullets. Thinking about it this way, Russell looked at Rist with more jealousy in his eyes.

"Okay, Riester."

If it were other brokers, then Russell would not necessarily budge. But Rist's relationship with Barcelona is special, and Rist's relationship with himself is not ordinary, so Russell finally nodded.

"Lister, we'll follow the club's first salary."

"Sandro, I actually like the high prize money model. As long as David can keep scoring goals, as long as Barcelona keeps winning, then the money will be uncountable. ”

In fact, the so-called first level of salary is just a higher bonus. In Barcelona, the fixed salaries of the absolute main force are about the same, not very different. The big difference between them is the bonus model, Ronaldinho has a very high bonus, while the other players have a mediocre bonus. That's the difference in salaries.

"Hopefully."

In such a model, if Villa scores fewer goals, then his salary will be less. It's up to Villa to show herself. Rist has absolute confidence in Villa, whose goal rate has been not low in his career, and even when he is old, Atletico Madrid's goal rate is not low. So as long as he continues to score goals, the salary will not be low.

"Lister, so we can talk directly about the details of his contract."

"Okay." (To be continued......)
