'Cesc Fabregas, give the ball to Robin van Persie. Van Persie, good speed, Van Persie handed the ball to Thierry Henry. ”

Rist and Carvajal are currently in Highbury, watching Arsenal's Premier League fixture. Arsenal face Newcastle at home, and Arsenal are strong at this time, especially in midfield.

Henry, Bergkamp, Pire, Reyes, Van Persie, Ljungberg, Cristiano. Ronaldo, Baptista, Fabregas, Adebayo. Even if some of them are old and some are still very young, this squad is still the top in European football. Of course, Rist knows so many good players, and it would be nice to keep half of them after two or three years.

'Thierry Henry and Bergkamp made a one-two and Henry went inside the box...... Henry, return pass! ”

"Baptista, shoot!"

“oal！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"Baptista is the most expensive player in Arsenal's history, the player that Arsenal snatched from Real Madrid's mouth. However, Baptista was still in good form and was already his third goal since the start of the season. Among the current Arsenal goalscorers, he is the third highest scorer after Thierry Henry and Reyes. ”

'From Senderos at the back to Baptista's goal, Arsenal made a total of 12 passes and none of them touched the ball. It's Arsenal's style of play, it's Arsenal's goal. ”

Rist applauded above. Historically, Rist has been a fan of Arsenal because of this beautiful attack. It's a pity that at present, the powerful Arsenal will soon usher in a wave of no titles.

At this time, Arsenal is definitely the best attacking team in the Premier League, and they are playing with a completely playful attitude against Newcastle. At the end of the first half, Arsenal were already 3-0 ahead of Newcastle. Henry completed one shot and two passes, and he really could do anything at this point.

'Gines, it's a real pleasure to watch Arsenal play now. It's a pity that the beauty can't be eaten. With the completion of the new stadium, Arsenal will definitely have to tighten their money. In five or six years' time, Arsenal will be the most demanding club. ”

"Yes. Whether Arsenal will survive or not, I can't really tell. ”

Carvajal shook his head. Since the commercialization of football. Especially in the last two decades, I don't know how many clubs are bent on building a stadium of their own. Because the pitch has a big impact on a club. But it doesn't matter how strong the club was back then. None of them finished the new course smoothly. Because the cost of building a stadium is simply not affordable for the average club. Unless it's another big rich man like Abramovich.

"Nearly £400 million, Arsenal are really bold. Now Arsenal has sold it for 400 million pounds. No wonder David. Dunn opposed the plans for a new stadium. ”

"Lister, you're looking too highly of David. Dunn is up. In addition to believing that the plan for a new stadium was too risky, he opposed it in order to strengthen his position in English football and Arsenal's position. If Arsenal follow David. Dunn's plan to go on loan at Wembley Stadium would greatly increase his say in English football and Arsenal's. ”

Carvajal pouted. Carvajal has not been in English football for a long time, but he knows all aspects of English football very well. David. Dunn's idea is to use Wembley Stadium to tie the FA and Arsenal around, and then become the face of both sides himself, increasing their respective status.

"Huh. Arsenal are going to have a tough couple of years to come, but they have a good coach. There's Arsene Wenger there. Arsenal will be able to get through it. ”

"Perhaps. But I can really get through it. At that time, Arsenal's income is estimated to be double that of now. ”

"Gines. If you can't make it, forget it. A club like Arsenal, which has hundreds of millions of fans, will definitely have a rich man take over if it really goes bankrupt. Even if no one takes over, they go bankrupt and our players are free. Neither of us is at the top of the club. Whatever the hell he does. ”

Carvajal nodded and said with a smile, "You're right. The club's business is none of your business. ”

"Didi-Di-"

"Michelle, it's rare to call me. Okay, I understand. You come here, no, no, I'll go. ”

Rist put down the phone and frowned. Carvajal looked at Rist and said, "Who?" You're still working hard. ”

Dortmund's newly appointed sporting director, Michel Brown. Zolke. Dortmund has a lot of money stuck in it. I can't let them waste my money. ”

…………

"Rist, come in."

When Rist arrived in Dortmund, Watzke and Zorge were waiting for Rist outside. Dortmund have had a hard time in recent years. So much so that this year, Dortmund's board of directors couldn't bear it anymore. The former general manager of Dortmund, as well as their sporting director, were dismissed. Because Dortmund's board of directors thinks that Dortmund is where they are because of their mistakes.

The new Dortmund top brass came out, and that was Watzke and Zolke in front of them. They weren't strangers either, and Rist knew them. Because before that, Watzke was the financial director of Dortmund. Zolke was also a senior member of Borussia Dortmund before. Lister had a friendship with them.

"Hans, Michel, this transfer market has passed, how can there be something to find me."

It's almost October now, Dortmund's transfers have passed, and I'm still looking for my agent, and Rist is a little surprised. Dortmund is now the same as Lister's home, and Rister came in only a little politely. Watzke and Zolke looked at each other, and finally it was Watzke who spoke. Because Watzke has always been Dortmund's financial director, he has the most familiar relationship with Lister.

"Lister, we at Dortmund would like to be able to borrow another fifteen million euros from you."

Watzke was embarrassed when he said this. Dortmund's situation has been getting worse and worse day by day in the past three years, and it is already a miracle for Dortmund to be able to survive these years. But after entering 05, the economic situation has not improved, on the contrary, it has become worse, and it has reached the bottom of Dortmund's history. Dortmund's credit rating in the German financial community has been downgraded again and again, and it is now the lowest in history.

If you just look at Dortmund's current credit rating and Dortmund's debts, everyone thinks that Dortmund has only one way to go bankrupt. Because Watzke is the chief financial officer, he knows more about Dortmund's current situation than anyone else. What's more, German financial institutions have no hope for Dortmund.

Watzke is now on the verge of being ordained. But no one gave Dortmund money, and Watzke didn't have anything to do with his bare hands. Now that all of Dortmund's assets have been sold, there is no other way. It's been more than seven months since Watzke and Zolke took office, but nothing can be done. In desperation, I found Rister.

"Hans, it's not that I refuse. I've lent you 40 million euros in the last three years, and I'm really worried about the current situation at Dortmund. You now have to pay interest on one-third of your annual income. ”

Rist has been borrowing money from Dortmund since '02, and it has reached 40 million euros for three consecutive years. By now, Lister has become Dortmund's largest private creditor, and the bank is the boss of Dortmund's current debts, followed by Lister. Of course, once this win gives them fifteen million euros. Then Rist became Dortmund's largest creditor almost along with the banks.

"Rist. We at Borussia Dortmund are confident that we will be in the situation we are in. ”

"Hans. I know you Germans like to say one is one, and two is two. It's not that you can't borrow money, but you should at least give me a mortgage and give me a guarantee. You should give me a detailed plan of yours. Tell me about the feasibility of your plan. If I think your plan will succeed, then I will consider borrowing money. ”

If it had been three years ago, Lister had to review Dortmund's next steps, and then Dortmund would certainly not have agreed. But three years on, Dortmund has no choice. There was no place to borrow money at all, and Rist had already become Dortmund's largest private creditor, so Rist was qualified to offer such conditions to them.

With Dortmund's current financial situation, if Lister joins some other creditors, he can decide the path of Dortmund's development. It could even change the current ownership of Dortmund. Of course, it is also easy to bankrupt the club. So Lister is fully qualified to interfere in Dortmund's affairs.

"Lister, I've been ready for a long time."

Watzke did not find Rist offensive. Because after he became the CEO of Dortmund, he went around selling with his own plan. It's a pity that those banks didn't have any interest in his plan, they didn't look at those things at all, and they just blasted Watzke out.

Rist took it and looked at it briefly. But the more you look at it, the more ugly it becomes. Dortmund really don't remember what they have to say, and this report from Watzke and Zorge is no different from what Dortmund did before.

"Hans, Michel, I'm not happy with your report."

"Why?"

Watzke and Zolke were surprised. Because it was the best plan the two of them had ever made, but Rist only looked at it for a while and thought he wasn't satisfied.

"Have you not been taught a lesson? I also want to gamble on the income of the Champions League. Look at European football for yourself in recent years, Valencia in La Liga, Leeds United in the Premier League, and you Dortmund all want to use the huge income of the Champions League to fill their financial holes. But see for yourselves, which one succeeded? Every club is in debt of hundreds of millions, and if you are not careful, you will go bankrupt. ”

Rist, of course, was angry. Watzke and Zolke are completely joking, what qualifications does Dortmund have now to play such a strategy. owes a lot of debt, can't pay off the interest, and dares to be so ambitious.

"Hans, I will never agree to such a risky plan of yours. What you should do now is to work hard and slowly restore the strength of the club. Borussia Dortmund are in good shape right now and have a long-term plan to do. This kind of short-term stuff should not be done. Unless you come up with a better plan, I won't continue to lend money to Dortmund. ”

Watzke sighed. In addition to disliking the plan, Lister also meant to meddle in the affairs of the Dortmund club. Of course, Watzke understands this, but now Dortmund is in a hurry, so Watzke knows he has to give in. Rist's influence and power in Dortmund would have increased considerably.

Watzke took a deep breath and then said to Lister, "Lister, we are not outsiders. I'd also like to hear from you, you've worked with a lot of clubs. I've also been involved in the rebuilding of quite a few clubs, so I probably have more experience than we do. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Hans, I have some suggestions. After all, I have invested so much money, and I hope that there will be no problems with this money. Then I'll be bold enough to say a few words. ”

ps：

One shift today, and tomorrow it will start to return to normal.
