"Tell me, what the hell is going on."

"In our Uruguay ......"

"That's enough."

Rist immediately broke off Suarez's words, and then said unceremoniously: "Don't make excuses for me, I didn't come here today to listen to you explain to me." I'll ask you if you've ever said anything like a. ”

"Yes."

In the face of Rist, Suarez did not dare to shout loudly. Although Rist snatched Suarez from someone else, it was Rist's strong strength that gave Suarez the greatest support. With the help of an agent like Rist, who is calling for wind and rain in European football, Suarez's future is brighter. Suarez also understands this, so he left his original agent in the first place to work with Lister.

Rist was always smiling. But now Suarez looked at Rist's cold gaze, and suddenly felt a little frightened. In any case, Rist is a powerful agent, and Suarez still doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.

"Is there something wrong with your head? You've been playing in England for a while, don't you know how serious the racism can be? ”

Suarez is indeed one of the most talented players in Lister's ranks. But Rist didn't care about that, and immediately stood up to criticize Suarez.

Historically, this guy has a problem with his head. What racism, biting, handball, anyway, there are countless players with many bans. The past few years have been honest for a while, which makes Rist think that Suarez will not get sick. Unexpectedly, he finally fell ill, which made Rist very angry.

If nothing else, a third of the players in Lister's hands are black. Grandma's, if this matter expands, let Rist explain to his players.

"But in Uruguay, '' is not a discriminatory term, it is just a term for people of color."

"Don't talk nonsense with me."

Suarez didn't defend himself, but a defense made Rist furious. Pointing at Suarez, he said, "You can call it that, how long have you been in Europe?" Don't you know the taboo here. I won't believe it. You have to talk to the reporters about this kind of justification, talk to the FA, and see if they believe it. ”

Rist was genuinely angry. How many years has Suarez been playing in Europe, how can this taboo not be understood. And it's not just going to be punished by the FA. And it will make his reputation plummet, causing his business value to plummet. This is a loss of millions of pounds.

"Bell bell bell—"

", who."

Rist was angry and didn't want to answer the phone. But after seeing the caller ID, I still answered the phone. However, when he answered the phone, he said in a very calm tone: "I'm Lister. Cherny. ”

"Rist, it's me."

"Jochen, what's the matter?"

Rist already had some understanding in his mind. Because it was Puma's CEO Yoheng who called. Caitz, what a good thing it can be to call at this time. Jochen. On the phone, Cartes said in a deep voice: "After the Manchester United game. Is what Evra said to the French journalist true? ”

"Yes."

"Lister, how could such a thing happen."

Jochen. Caitz was angry on the phone. Suarez plays in Sparta Prague, and the Czech Republic is Puma's sphere of influence. Sparta Prague and Puma have been working together for many years. A player as good as Suarez is, of course, a star that Puma is focusing on. Therefore, he soon cooperated with Puma and was a partner star of Puma.

In the past two years, Tottenham Hotspur has been reached. The performance in the Premier League is also very good. The main thing is that he plays in a wonderful way, so he is quite famous in the Premier League. Puma doesn't have many iconic stars at the moment, so the 23-year-old Suarez is quite a bit of a big fan of Puma. But look what's going on now.

"I'm sorry, Jochen. I'm working on this right now, and I'll fix it soon. ”

"Solved, how to solve."

Suarez's goal percentage at Tottenham Hotspur increased significantly last season, reaching 20 goals for the entire season. Twenty-three years old. With such a performance in the Premier League, he is already an excellent striker in European football. Originally, Puma also wanted him to be the flag star during this time. But if something like this happens, it will cause huge damage to Puma's image.

"Lister, the impact of this matter is too bad. You should know that half of our Puma market is in Africa. What do you let me do with this? ”

"Jochen, I'll try to eliminate the impact of this time."

"I'm sorry. Rist. ”

Jochen. Caitz said very seriously on the phone: "Lister, we Puma will pay attention to the development of this matter anytime and anywhere. If things get bigger and bigger, then Lister, I'm really sorry then. We're going to stop working with Suarez, I hope you understand. ”

"I understand. Jochen. ”

Rist does understand Puma. Puma is different from Adidas and Nike, and Puma has always taken a circuitous path before. Because Puma could not compete with top brands such as Nike and Adidas at that time, it had to sponsor Czech and African football to expand its business.

In the current African football scene, Puma is the most influential. After entering the 21st century, people like Drogba, Eto'o, Yaya. African stars such as Toure and Diouf are all Puma stars. At present, the African national team participates in the World Cup, and it is all a team sponsored by Puma. So despite its poverty, Africa is still one of Puma's largest markets.

hung up the phone, and looked at Suarez List, who looked unconvinced, and was even more angry. So I had to say again: "Look at the phone call of the CEO of Puma." He said that if this matter is not resolved, Puma will terminate the cooperation with you. ”

"Money, that's money. Are you making too much money now, you don't need to worry about sponsors, you don't need to continue to make money? If Puma hadn't taken care of my face, they would have terminated your contract by now. ”

"So what should I do?"

Suarez was also a little stunned. He originally thought that it was not a big deal, at most it would be a two-game ban from the FA, and at most a penalty of tens of thousands of pounds.

Unexpectedly, less than six hours after the game, even the CEO of Puma called. Puma is the main sponsor of Suarez, and the annual sponsorship fee to Suarez is 800,000 pounds, which is the highest sponsorship fee among Suarez sponsors at present. Even the current Pepsi Cola, sponsoring Suarez a year is only 400,000 pounds.

"It's a big deal. Patrice Evra is a Manchester United player, a Manchester United player. And things are out of control now. Maybe the FA will give you a six-game or eight-game ban, and see what you do? ”

Although Rist criticized him very much, Rist couldn't really ruin Suarez. After all, Suarez is also one of Lister's most talented players.

And more importantly, if Suarez is bullied by others this time, Rister will have no face at that time. After all, he can't even protect his own players, so what will the rest of European football think of Rist. Maybe Suarez thinks that Rist's ability is not good, and he will find another agent in a few days, where Sturt is really a chicken and a chicken. And it will also seriously affect the confidence of Lister's players.

Therefore, Lister is also actively trying to find a way. How should we survive this crisis? Although the specific circumstances of Suarez's racial discrimination in history are not clear, he also knows that Liverpool was tough at that time. The end result was a complete defeat, not only did Suarez's punishment increase, but even Liverpool was bombarded by the English media.

At that time, Liverpool, from the club's top management to Daglish, thought Suarez was right. It's a pity that the more they do this, the more unsolvable the matter becomes, and in the end Liverpool's entire image is affected. Liverpool's sponsors eventually pressured Liverpool to support Suarez in such an unprincipled manner.

Tough treatment, that is, face-to-face fighting with people. What Lister hates most is this kind of war, fighting people face-to-face, winning or losing it is not good for the agent. It seems that something needs to be done to put an end to this.

"Luis, you didn't say a word after the game, did you?"

"Nope. I didn't expect Evra to tell French journalists about it. ”

Suarez nodded. Originally, he didn't take this matter to heart, but he didn't expect Evra to talk to French reporters after the game, and this incident immediately caused an uproar in the French media. Then it soon spread to England. In the current age of the Internet, Evra has just lashed out at Suarez, and in less than two hours everyone knows about it.

"That's good. From now on, don't talk nonsense in front of the media. First of all, don't stiffen yourself and say you're not wrong. All you have to say to the media is that in Uruguay that the term does not mean discrimination. Then be honest and say that you apologize if this incident bothers Evra in any way. Do you understand? ”

Rist knew that Suarez had a big temper, so he accentuated his tone. said very seriously: "You remember for me, this matter is very big." If you're in Italy, you might be in the end of the event. But in England it was different. You're not an England player, they're going to make an example. So you should never be stiff in this matter and think that you are not wrong. When the time comes, even I won't be able to cover it. ”

"Yes."

Suarez nodded helplessly. Looking at Suarez's appearance, Rist couldn't help but criticize again: "Remember, don't give me recklessness." I'm going to go to Evra's agent now and apologize to Evra on your behalf, hoping for Evra's understanding. I also have to do public relations for Manchester United, hoping that Manchester United will not hold on to this matter. If Manchester United do bite you, you're going to have to suffer enough. ”

"Patrice Evra's agent? It seems that there is still someone to match. ”
