"Obst, it's over."

Rist looked at one newspaper after another, and Zuihou sighed as he put it down. No matter how good you are, no matter how good your previous results are, not everyone shouts and beats you now.

All Czech newspapers, even if not sports newspapers, began to lash out at the failure. Because the Czech national team actually missed the 2000 European Championship. It was nothing short of a surprise. Obst has been in the Czech Football Association for decades, even in the position of president of the Football Association for 20 years. He is strong in Czech football, and many people up and down the Czech Football Association have been personally promoted by him. If it were a general thing, no one would be able to shake Obst.

But when the entire Czech football world is complaining, and the entire Czech media is bombarding, these so-called strengths are simply false. Everyone knows one thing, and that is that the time of Obst is over. Even those who supported Obst in the past can now be regarded as conscientious if they do not fall into the ground. I don't know how many people have begun to shift their guns and quickly dissociate themselves from Obst.

Beating the water dogs, the Czech media is now seizing Obst for a burst of criticism. Some media outlets have even begun to shake out that Obst has some illicit income in the process of being president of the Czech Football Federation. It is commonly known as bribery.

This kind of report is definitely not groundless, and it can even be said that no one in the Czech football industry is unaware of it. Obst has been in the Czech Football Association for so many years, and it is simply impossible to do without some other income. Even Rist sent money to Obst. Moreover, these two decades were the most turbulent period in Czech politics, and such corruption abounded.

Football is also a very closed place. The various internal relationships in it are complicated. Obst is definitely not the only one with improper income, and no one in the Czech Football Association dares to say that he is clean. So when the media started talking about this, there were immediately a lot of people who moved to shut up the newspaper. Because once this kind of thing is brought out, it is not one or two, who is cleaner than the other in the Czech Football Association.

Even the government part is involved. During the wave of liberalization, the reform of the joint-stock system of Czech clubs, at that time, many assets belonging to the Czech government were lost to varying degrees. Obst was certainly involved as president of the Football Association, as were the Czech officials who managed the property of the Czech clubs at the time.

Rist was stunned when he read the newspaper, these people really dare to write anything. Because the Czech Football Federation not only has a bribery problem, but even Obst is also involved in some game manipulation. Not many people know about this kind of thing, even many football insiders. But Riester is the number one agent in the Czech Republic. There is much more to the news than they are. Obst doesn't manipulate the game much. But there are things that take money to help some clubs stay in relegation.

If all these things come out, Obst will go to jail. But Rist wouldn't do that, because once this kind of thing came out, it wasn't just one or two who would go to jail. Even Rist was in big trouble. Although not to go to jail. But the reputation of dealing with it is still missing. So even Lister went to warn the newspaper. Shut up the newspaper.

However, at this time, there were too many charges against Obst, some of which were true and some of which were false. Anyway, the current Obst can't run anymore, he only has one way. That is, he proposed to retire and leave with dignity.

"Congratulations, Barwell."

Looking at Merkley, whose expression was a little stiff, Rist smiled and congratulated. Rist can understand Merkley, after all, Merkley can be on the throne with Obst's absolute support. Now that Obst is retiring, it's possible that he's a little uncomfortable. But Rist and Obst don't have any friendships, so they don't have any psychological burden at all. Even a lot of media reports are backed by Lister.

"Hey, you don't know. Obst's contribution to Czech football is still quite significant. ”

"Barwell, don't look like that when you go out and talk to someone. There will be a lot of people who will call you hypocritical. ”

Merkley also smiled. He was uncomfortable for Obst, but just uncomfortable. He's just an ordinary person, and he's still an ambitious person. Now that Obst is about to retire, many people are eyeing his position, and everyone is showing their own powers. If you go in order, Merkley is the most promising. However, Merkley's biggest disadvantage is that she is young and lacks qualifications.

"Barwell, you don't have much hope this time. I am looking forward to your becoming President of the Czech Football Federation. The future of Czech football still needs people like you. ”

Listening to Rist's compliment, Merkley waved her hand. Merkley is no ordinary person, he has already started to arrange. He was grateful for Obst's support, but that wasn't enough to keep Merkley on Obst's boat. He started preparing earlier than anyone else. Looking at Merkley's appearance, Lister knew that what this dude could do was done. Merkley in front of her is not as amiable as she seems.

"Bavil, how about I give you a gift to celebrate your election as president of the Czech Football Federation in advance?"

"Gifts? What gift? ”

Merkley is already at a stage where everything is ready and nothing but the east wind is missing. But as long as Zuihou is not sure, he will not say it casually. This is true even with someone as close as Lister. That's why he said very little today.

"The success of Czech football in recent years has a huge relationship with the endless number of talented players. But in general, we still have a shortage of young talent in Czech football. Personally, I am ready to build a huge youth base, and of course I need the support of the Football Association. ”

Hearing Rist's words, Merkley, who was relatively silent today, sat up straight for the first time. Then he looked straight at Rist and asked softly, "Rist, this is true." ”

"Of course, Barwell. Me and Puma's Jochen. Zecz has talked about it, and he is happy to make his own contribution to Czech football. If the Czech Football Association takes the lead in setting up such a youth training base, he is willing to support it with tens of millions of euros in five years. As long as the name of Puma is written in front of this youth training base. ”

The cooperation between PUMA and the Czech Republic is all-encompassing. Puma started with the Czech national team to the Czech league and now supports the Czech youth academy. However, since the cooperation with the Czech Republic, PUMA's turnover in the Czech Republic has grown rapidly. With the Czech economy getting better and better, PUMA products are unique in the Czech market, and other sports brands cannot enter the Czech Republic at all. PUMA's annual turnover in the Czech Republic has stabilized at around 30 million euros.

"This ......"

Merkley was so surprised. But Rist continued: "And, Barwell. I am also ready to invest money in this youth training base, which is also ten million euros for five years. Of course, if I am financially able, I am willing to continue to invest in this youth base after five years. What do you think of this gift? Of course, it's all for your sake, and if it were anyone else, I wouldn't have that much money. ”

“xiexie。”

Merkley didn't say much, but simply thanked her. Merkley is indeed happy now, because he is very happy with Lister's gift. Merkley already understood what Rist meant.

Now there are not one or two people who want the position of president of the Czech Football Federation. None of the people fighting for this position are easy to talk about, although Merkley is fully prepared, but he does not dare to guarantee 100% what the result of Zuihou is. But Merkley knew that with this gift from Lister, the matter was secure.

There is a very famous youth base in France, and that is the Clay Fontaine youth base. Batches of French stars were nurtured there, and many of France's later well-known stars trained in this academy as children.

If there is such an excellent academy in the Czech Republic, it will certainly play a very big role in promoting the development of Czech football. However, the cost of such an academy is too high, and the Czech economy is now improving. However, the Czech Football Association is not a very wealthy department, and it is basically impossible for the Czech Football Association to complete such a youth training base.

But Rist gave Merkley the most haode gift. PUMA is willing to invest 10 million euros over five years, or 2 million euros a year. And Rist, as a private person, is also willing to give two million euros a year. That's four million euros a year, and with that money there is no problem with the academy.

The Czech Football Association only needs to be a leader and carry out a certain amount of regulation. If France and Germany regulate their youth training, they are basically an investment of hundreds of millions of euros in ten years, and they may need an investment of 10 million or 20 million a year. But for a small country like the Czech Republic, four million euros a year is already a big investment. Coupled with the annual investment of the Football Association, then the youth training base in the Czech Republic will not have any financial shortcomings.

As for Puma and Rist's ideas, Merkley was able to guess as well. Puma sponsors them to continue cementing their position in the Czech Republic, while Rist is clearly looking to continue to be his number one agent. Maybe he even sold the players trained in the academy as his own players to the club.

But none of this has anything to do with Merkley. Because Merkley only needs to ensure that Riester does not control the Czech league and interferes with the Czech national team, so that Czech football can develop. At the critical moment of competing for the position of president of the Czech Football Federation, as long as Merkley throws this other opponent, there is no chance at all.

"Bavier, I still count on you to take care of me more after you become the president of the Czech Football Association."

Youth training base? Rist's purpose is very simple, the talented seedlings of Czech football will not allow anyone to dare to get involved, and if anyone dares to get their hands on the new generation of talented players in the Czech Republic, Rist will definitely kill. In the form of this academy base, Rist wants to hold all the talented Czech players in his arms. (To be continued......)
