501 Determination

The season has just ended and the rest of the clubs are resting. After all, it's a tiring season, and the club personnel also need to rest. But Atletico are different, last season's results were just too poor. Atletico Madrid, as a La Liga giant, as a strong team with many good players, is ranked 14th in La Liga.

Although it is a relegation worry, 18th-place Levante is 10 points less than Atletico Madrid. But what kind of man is Hill Jr., the president who is ambitious and wants to regain Atletico's glory. Atletico Madrid are 40 points away from first-place Barcelona, and how can such a performance satisfy Hill Jr. Hill Jr. thinks that his opponents should be Real Madrid and Barcelona, but it is too embarrassing to be beaten by Barcelona by 40 points. Therefore, he had already contacted the South American coach Bianchi early, and he did not rest at the end of the season and began the planning of the new season.

Since little Ciel was busy, it was certainly impossible for Rist and Carvajal to watch. Soon, several players named by Bianchi came to Atletico Madrid one after another.

Galletti, the heart of Zaragoza's front line, arrived at Atletico Madrid for 2.5 million euros. Espanyol club wide striker Maxi. Rodriguez joined Atletico Madrid for five million euros. Then there's Osasuna's talented midfielder Raul. Garcia, who became an Atletico Madrid player for 1.7 million euros.

The cost of three signings for Atletico is less than 10 million euros. Rist is really impressed with Carvajal's ability. Raul. Garcia is okay because he is a young player who has just debuted, only a nineteen-year-old player, and Carvajal's own player. It is perfectly possible to bring in reinforcements at a low price.

But Galetti and Maxi . Rodriguez is different. They are all core players of the team, and their value will definitely not be so low. Especially like Maxi. Rodriguez, the player who scored 15 goals in La Liga last season, is worth between 8 million and 10 million euros. But Carvajal insisted on turning the transfer fee into five million euros.

Even if it's Galetti, although it's not as good as Maxi. Rodriguez, but his market price is also above five million euros. Although the transfer market in Spanish football has been sluggish in recent years, Atletico Madrid can take Galetti for only 2.5 million, which is definitely a very low price.

This ability is that Carvajal can. Carvajal became Raul's agent after that. Changed Real Madrid's Raul to Madrid's Raul, and then Madrid's Raul to Spain's Raul. Using a Raul, Carvajal weaves a vast web in Spain, a network of contacts that outsiders can't reach.

There has been no shortage of powerful broker predators in Spain in the past decade. Not to mention Mendes, who was known as the world's No. 1 agent back then, there is also Serbian agent Vekic. Vekic is not as high a figure in Spanish football now as he was a decade ago, and at his peak he had the likes of Mijatovic, Milosevic, Suker and Hierro at his disposal. At that time, Spanish football statistics believed that 8% of La Liga and 10% of La B transfers were related to him. He was the No. 1 agent in La Liga that year, and he was even more glamorous than Mendes at that time.

But after so many years, his momentum is not as good as it was at the beginning. Because the stars he owned at the time have retired, his status in Spanish football has dropped a lot. However, at the moment Real Madrid's Guti. And his players.

But these powerful brokers all have a higher starting point than Carvajal. But when Carvajal got Raul. In a short period of time, they have already surpassed them to become the number one agent in Spain. Because Carvajal turned Raul into a symbol of Spanish football, and then took advantage of Raul to come from behind.

Historically, many agents have had top stars, and there are not one or two agents who have had a representative star in national football. Just like Zidane's agent, Beckham and Owen's agent, Baggio's agent, Figo's agent, Maradona's agent, Cruyff's agent, Beckenbauer's agent, they all once had a representative star of national football.

But there is no agent like Raul's agent, Carvajal. Weave a huge network of contacts with Raul. Raul then used Raul to recruit more than half of the Spanish internationals.

Carvajal helped Atletico Madrid bring in three powerful stars at such a low price. Atletico will certainly give Carvajal enough benefits. That's what a lot of agents close to the club do. There may not be many players of their own in the club, but most of the players who come to the club need to go through the hands of this agent to come to the club. And he's getting enough out of it.

Three Spanish players are easy to say, but the next signings are starting to be difficult. Atletico Madrid's next recruit is the talented player in Argentine football, the current main Boca midfielder, and the midfield talent Fernando with the title of "Redondo's successor". Gago.

The problem with Gago is the issue of transfer fees. Boca was reluctant to give up Gago easily, and the fee on Boca's side was too high. It should be said that the current Argentine economy has not yet gotten out of the quagmire, but it has been slowly recovering. Boca, as an Argentine giant, is not too bad financially, and is unwilling to transfer the core of the midfield at a low price.

But fortunately, little Ciel has the courage. It should be said that Atletico really dare to spend money. For a nineteen-year-old who has not yet played in Europe, Gago, gave 14 million euros. Ten million euros went to the Boca club and four million euros to Gago. Because when Rist helped Gago negotiate with Boca, 30% of Gago's ownership was left in Gago's hands.

Therefore, during this negotiation, Atletico Madrid still has to spend 30% of the money in Gago's hands. Plus the signing fee for Gago. In the end, it cost 14 million euros. However, now Gago is playing the World Youth Championship with the Argentine national youth team, so the final signing still needs to wait for a while.

…………

"Carlos, the transfer of Atletico Madrid is going well at the moment. You should be happy, how to frown. ”

Atletico's transfer went so smoothly that it was definitely the most in Atletico's history. In June, Atletico Madrid made one transfer after another. Bianchi should be very happy, and the player he wants is all satisfied this time. In just one month, four players have been won.

And Bianchi has brought in three Argentine players, plus Ibargasa is four Argentine players. There is also central defender Perea, who was also a disciple of Bianchi. In this way, Bianchi has five players who are related to Atletico Madrid, and they are all the main players in the future Atletico Madrid first-team squad. This makes it much easier to control the Atletico dressing room.

But seeing Bianchi even frowning deeply, Rister was very surprised. Bianchi is in Europe for the second time, but this time it is completely different from nine years ago. Nine years ago, the agents in European football were not as strong as they are now, and they were not as important.

"Rist, Mr. Hill wants to bring in Vicente."

"Vicente?"

Rist looked at Bianchi in surprise. Little Hill is really a rich second generation. It's really ambitious. However, if he wanted Vicente, he could discuss it directly with Rist. Could it be that little Hill has really changed his personality and is ready to fully support Bianchi. But since he couldn't think clearly, Rist didn't want to think about it. After all, little Hill is notoriously casual.

Speaking of which, Lister had long thought about bringing Vicente to Spain. Vicente has been in Liverpool for three years, although there have been some highlights, but on the whole it is not at all as good as when he was in Valencia. Not all Spanish players have adapted to the Premier League environment.

Harvey. After Alonso came to Liverpool, he didn't even need to adapt, and directly became the main force in Liverpool's midfield. It can be said that it is really seamless with Liverpool, and it is also very suitable for the Premier League. And Louis. Garcia is also not afraid of the Premier League environment at all. It's like playing out of the Premier League. But Vicente is different. He hasn't fully adapted to the Premier League for three years.

Benitez's transfer at Liverpool has had a mixed reputation. He brought with him Jankoler, Louis. Garcia, Harvey. Alonso, Colo. Toure, Gilberto. Silva. Including Samuel Eto'o, who joined last season, were successful transfers. But there have also been failed transfers. Including Barosh and Vicente, none of them were successful transfers. It's just that Benitez has won two Champions League titles in a row at Liverpool, not to mention a few failed transfers, but there are more than that. Nor will anyone say anything.

"Carlos, why are you not satisfied? Vicente was the best left winger in La Liga that year, and he is only 24 years old now. Much better than Petrov in Wolfsburg. ”

"It's not. Do I doubt Vicente will come to Atletico? ”

"Carlos, you're just getting started with Miguel. Miguel is more bold than you might think, and his father was like that. As long as it is his favorite star, he will not be stingy with money. Atletico don't look at the bad results of this decade, but there is no shortage of stars. ”

Rist looked at Bianchi and said, "Carlos, Miguel likes to mess around. But I can't let my players mess around, so I just want to ask you a word. If Vicente comes. Will you use him? If you don't think Vicente is necessary, then Miguel's side will not embarrass you by rejecting him. ”

Rist is ready to bring Vicente back to Spain, but won't let him go below the manager who doesn't like him. Especially a famous coach like Bianchi, his personality is very stubborn. He doesn't like a player. Then you will never use him against your will. When the time comes, it will only hurt Vicente.

"No, no, no, Rist, you misunderstood me. Of course I'm happy to have a player like Vicente. It's just that I'm worried that he won't like Atletico Madrid. ”

Rist smiled. Although Bianchi means that Liverpool is more attractive than Atletico Madrid, Rist already understands what Bianchi means. Vicente is different from many previous players, he is a Spanish star who has been famous for many years. Don't look at the fact that he is only twenty-four years old this year, but Vicente has been famous in La Liga since he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and has won the Champions League in a row. Although his performance at Liverpool was not as sharp as he was at Valencia, he was not completely degenerate. In the process of Liverpool winning the Champions League, Vicente's contribution was also great.

In the current Atletico Madrid, even Atletico Madrid's golden boy Torres is not as good as Vicente. Although Bianchi is a famous South American coach, he has not proven himself in European football after all. Bianchi is worried about whether a top Spanish star like Vicente will obey his command when he arrives at Atletico. If a big-name player like Vicente doesn't obey his management, the dressing room will be unstable.

"Carlos, Vicente is only twenty-four years old. And both Fernando are still young, and I hope you can turn them from a talent to a superstar in European football. I think you have that ability, that's why I put them all in your hands. I'm sure you're the best one. ”

Rist didn't answer explicitly, but the meaning was already told to Bianchi. When Bianchi heard Riester's words, he immediately burst into laughter, nodded and said, "I'm actually more worried about the club's wing attack." With a player like Vicente, I'm relieved. ”
