385 Barcelona's Reconstruction (Part I)

"What the hell is this kid trying to do?"

Mascaly's face was gloomy, and there was fire in his eyes. For Mascaldi, who has always been a leader in Shijie football, being rejected by Lister has made him very unbearable. But Mascaldy's side hadn't thought about how to deal with Rist, and Rist was the first to strike. He really couldn't understand that he and Rist had some dirty feelings, but Rist wouldn't be so desperate to attack him. I'm just an Argentine agent, and I don't have any conflict with Rister at the moment.

The situation is stronger than the man. The Latin American economy is getting worse and worse, to the extreme. Just like Uruguay, which is known as the "Switzerland of Latin America", it is a relatively good place in Latin America with an economy. The current per capita income is already more than $6,000. If you look at the data alone, Uruguay is still very good among developing countries. However, the current situation is that the Uruguayan economy is in shambles.

Uruguay's income is mainly based on foreign trade, and beef and wool are their most important exports. It's a pity that the Shijie economy is now a bit sluggish, which seriously damages their foreign trade. And their main trading partners, Brazil and Argentina, are now too busy to take care of their own business, where can they take care of Uruguay's business.

Tourism in Uruguay is one of their pillar industries. With the economic downturn, Uruguay's total income in 02 was only 16.3 billion US dollars, of which tourism revenue was 500 million US dollars, accounting for one-thirtieth of the national income. In fact, in '01 their tourism revenue was $700 million, and in '00 it was more than $1 billion. These two years have been declining year by year.

This is because the largest number of Uruguayan tourists are Argentinians. But the Argentine economy is very poor. Especially after the banks stopped the dollar exchange business, Argentines did not have the money to travel to Uruguay. These have dealt a serious blow to the Uruguayan economy.

So starting in June '02, a lot of banks in Uruguay were closed, they didn't open at all. Because of the run on the Bank of Uruguay, the Bank of Uruguay cannot fully bear the consequences. As a result, all the accounts of the Bank of Uruguay have been suspended, with the exception of a few ATMs that allow the withdrawal of money, and most of the salaries, pensions, pensions and family hardship allowances have been completely frozen. Ordinary people are no longer able to make deposits and withdrawals at banks.

Uruguay is a microcosm of the current Latin American economy. Large countries like Brazil and Argentina are so heavily indebted that their countries are completely unable to repay them. Therefore, they can only delay the repayment of the debt, and the annual interest repayment alone is enough for them. Argentina's national income in '02 was only $102 billion, but their debt was already more than $150 billion. It can be seen how dangerous their economy is. In terms of their development. This debt they are unlikely to pay off. They can only keep borrowing to pay off their previous debts, and so on and so on.

The economy is not everything, but in football, the economy is everything. Compared with the struggling economies of Latin America, the European economy has also suffered some damage recently. But on the whole, there is still no problem at all. Therefore, South American players are all eager to play in Europe. In such a situation. Unless you have top talents like Maradona and Ronaldo. Otherwise, South American agents have slowly lost their qualifications to compete with European football clubs.

That's the case with Mascadi right now. It's not that he didn't think about giving Rist a little color, but now Mascady is already in a hurry. Because players such as Veron, Crespo, and López were all his big players, but now they have all switched to Hidalgo. These hit him hard. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lowered his worth to beg Rist.

"Who did he meet?"

"Franzi, Hidalgo, and Antonio. Carriendo. ”

"A bunch of."

Hearing that so many people had met with Lister made Mascaldy angry. Franzi has Riquelme and Hidalgo has Crespo, Veron, López, Burdisso and others. And Cariendo is a famous Italian agent, but this person is also inextricably linked to South American football. There is Trezeguet, who grew up in Argentina.

"European agents like Rist are wolves, wolves that eat people and don't spit out bones. How could they stand with Lister, isn't this looking for their own death? ”

Mascaldy forgot about what he still wanted to work with Lister. But now Mascadi doesn't care about Lister anymore. At best, Rister is fighting from the side, while Franzi and Hidalgo will directly threaten his status in Argentine football. He needs to set it up and see how he can prevent these agents from shaking his position.

"Sandro, it's been a lot of good things lately. Heard that Gasparter is resigning? ”

Rist will be busy in the summer, because many things are closely related to Rist. Just as Redknapp became Tottenham's manager in the summer, Tottenham's transfer to Rister will not give up. And this summer, there will be a billionaire with a net worth of more than 10 billion to enter the Premier League. Although Rist has nothing to do with him, Rist and Pini. Zahavi has a hard relationship and wants to play a role in their transfer.

Of course, there is also the matter of Dortmund, although Dortmund's current situation is a little relieved by the 15 million euro life-saving money of Lister, but the real situation is still not optimistic. In order to control Dortmund, Rist closely watched the development of Dortmund's situation.

But all of this adds up to no Lister's attention to Barcelonado. Because Rist knows that summer is the time when Yumeji takes off, and it is the most important moment for Yumeji. Rist must be involved, this time he must grasp the line of Barcelona, and Barcelona will be strong for ten years from Yumeji. Therefore, in the summer, Barcelona is what Rister focuses on the most. Rist wants to rely on Barcelona's cooperation to completely let them see their strength in European football, and also consolidate their strength in European football.

"Yes, Rist. Your news is quick and I am about to inform you. You also know that our club is not in a good position right now, and Gaspar can't hold it anymore. And Gaspart's grades were so poor that the people he appointed were also affected. He is not qualified to compete with Hawan. The situation is already very clear. ”

Russell is getting easier and easier now. If he accepts Laporta's invitation to join his campaign, he must win. Now that the situation is getting more and more favourable, it looks like there is no one else who can stop Laporta from becoming president of the club. There is not much time left for the election of the new president of Barcelona, but so far there are no competitive candidates.

"Sandro, if you and I both fail, then the two of us can be killed by a head-butt."

"Yes, yes. The two of us are out of the horse, who can stop it. ”

Russell is a character with eyes above the top, and he is very bullish when he speaks. Of course he has the right to be proud, he has the right to be arrogant. He is only 38 years old and has done a lot of things. At the age of 26, he joined the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Organizing Committee, participated in the development of the international market, and did a very good job.

After completing this job, he joined the well-known ISL company. This is a very well-known Swiss sports marketing company, and the founder of this company is the youngest son of Deisler, the founder of Adidas. The company has always been packaging and sponsoring football events as the core of its business, and has won the TV broadcast marketing rights of many Shijie Cups, and has gradually grown into a giant in the international sports economy. Russell's achievements in ISL were very good, and he was favored by Nike and poached Nike. He then became a Nike executive, responsible for operations in Spain and South America.

These work experiences have allowed Russell to have enough contacts in the sports world, and also made him have enough confidence and pride. In Spanish football, there are very few people who have such connections in the sports world.

"Sandro, last time you wanted me to make some suggestions for a Barça rebuild. Here's a simple report I made, you can take a look. ”

As one of Europe's top agents, Rist has been involved in the transfer of many clubs, as well as in the renewal of many clubs. There are many clubs that have worked with Lister, including Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna, Villarreal, Extremadura and of course Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool. So Rist has plenty of experience.

Rister is a transfer adviser in Laporta's campaign and Rosell's right-hand man. Although Rosell has a wide network in the sports world, it is also the first time he has been involved in the management of the club. Although Laporta is not yet fully victorious, Rosell has been working on Barca's rebuilding early on. Among them, Lister's opinion is definitely very important.

Because it was the first time, although Russell also had his own thoughts in his heart, he still read the report written by Lister very carefully. Because he has his own ideas, but he has no bottom in his heart, and he needs to refer to Rist's opinion. Looking at Rist's report, Russell slowly smiled. Because Rist's ideas are very similar to Russell in many ways. Everyone has discussed this before, and the opinions were very similar at that time, and now it looks like everyone's direction is really getting closer and closer.

"Lister, seeing this report, I think you were the right one to bring you into our camp in the first place. Do you have any ideas about the specific players to be introduced? ”

It's one thing to report, it's another thing to be specific. Rist knows that as long as a transfer is discussed, then there must be interests involved. But only transfers are the manifestation of zuihou.

"Lister, there's no need to beat around the bush between you and me. Specific transfers can also be discussed. ”

Russell saw that Rist was a little hesitant, so he smiled. Because Russell knew the reason for Rist's slight hesitation. Because once you get into the transfer easing, there will be an interest that belongs to Lister.

"Then I'll call a spade a spade." (To be continued......)
