"Pavel, Ivanka, hello."

Rist was busy during this time, and the time was soon in December. Today is December 17, 2002, and it is time for France Football magazine to award the European Footballer of the Year.

It is not Nedved and his wife who are talking about Lister now, but his two children. Both of Nedved's children's names follow Nedved's husband and wife. They happened to be a man and a woman, the man was Nedved's name and the woman was his wife's name.

"Hello Uncle Rist."

Nedved and Rist have been friends for many years, and they are even more familiar with their families. Although after Rister was busy, he was not able to stay with Nedved for as long as he used to. But Rist still visits Nedved every once in a while. So Nedved's children are also very familiar with Lister.

"You're all set."

"Yes."

As they were about to go to the awards ceremony, Nedved's family was busy. It's a big ceremony, and there will be countless reporters coming. Of course, they also need to dress up.

"Your father is going to win the biggest prize in football. How are you ready to celebrate? ”

"Of course. We've all figured it out. Uncle Rist, are you coming over too? ”

The European Golden Globe Awards are definitely not counted at the time of the awards. On the contrary, almost after the 12th, and even earlier than him, the French football magazine already had results. And they often notify the winning players before the award ceremony. That's how Nedved is. A few days earlier, Rist had received accurate information from France Football magazine. Nedved beat Ronaldo and Carlos to win the European Ballon d'Or. Of course, Nedved himself now knows.

"Hey, Rister. Why didn't you change your clothes. ”

Nedved has been preparing for this award ceremony for a long time. He was given makeup by professional makeup artists, including his wife Ivanka and two children.

"Me? I won't go, I don't need to change my clothes. ”

"You're not going?"

Nedved didn't speak, but Ivanka, who had just come out of makeup, said unexpectedly. Rist picked up Nedved to France early in the morning and arranged for a make-up artist to give them a good look. Unexpectedly, Rist did not go to the award ceremony.

"Rist, why don't you go?"

Nedved was also surprised. Although it is said that there are fixed tickets for the Ballon d'Or ceremony, all the important figures in football are coming. But when it comes to an agent like Rist, FIFA and UEFA will give a certain amount of face. And the ability of Elister. It's even related to France Football magazine. Get a ticket. Even getting the most haode ticket is not a problem.

Even if Nedved doesn't win the European Ballon d'Or today, he can easily get a ticket as Rist. What's more, Rist is Nedved's agent, and they will definitely leave a ticket for Rist.

"An agent should be like an agent. Spotlight on occasions like this is not where our brokers should be. I'm just waiting for you to get the Ballon d'Or. ”

Golden Globe Awards? Rist was indeed invited. Not to mention that Rist is currently the strongest agent in European football, just because Rist is Nedved's agent has a position. However, Rist adheres to the characteristics of an agent. That is, the agent should not appear too high-profile in front of the media. This is true for truly successful brokers.

So such a grand event Lister would not have attended. The scenery on the face. It is never important to get a substantial benefit. Rist is not going to be for the momentary scenery. Let yourself sit on a volcanic pile.

"Rist, you're being too cautious. In the past, the agents of the Golden Globe winners would participate. ”

Nedved is clear. Although Nedved has performed well this year, the biggest reason for being able to beat Ronaldo and Carlos is the Shijie Cup title. And in the process of winning the Shijie Cup. Nedved contributed a lot, but it wasn't really his own.

Among the Czech national team, Senna was the best performer from the group stage to the round of 16. In the knockout rounds, Rosicky performed well all the way, and Poboski was consistent from the start of the group stage.

Compared to them, the Nedved Shijie Cup only played five games due to injury. It's only because of his outstanding performances in the semi-finals and finals, and the Czech Republic's focus on Nedved, that there is today's European Ballon d'Or. It can be said that it is one of the conventions for the Shijie Cup champion to win the Golden Ball. But in the Czech national team, Nedved is not the dominant team. It's just that the whole of the Czech Republic has Nedved as the core and is touted as a hero, and even the media reports in this regard.

If there is another reason, it is that the Czech players who have performed well and can compare with Nedved are among some of the best teams, not the big ones. Nedved is the only one who plays at a club like Juventus, so he has become the face of Czech football. He won the Ballon d'Or today for Czech football.

So Nedved understood. There's a lot of credit for this. If it weren't for Lister's decisiveness in touting Nedved after the Shijie Cup, and then deliberately suppressing the fame of Rosicky, Pobosky, and Senna, it is very likely that there will be a diversion of votes. And touting Nedved and then placating the other Czech players was all done by Rister alone. If it weren't for Rist's work, how could those players of the Czech national team be so quiet.

Now listening to Rist's disappointment to the awards gala, Nedved is very disappointed. Rist smiled and patted Nedved on the shoulder and said, "Pavel, they're not like me. I'm a budding bird now, and it's not good for me to be too glamorous. Sorry, Pavel. ”

…………

"Pavel. Nedved, who scored 197 points. Congratulations to Nedved. ”

Rist was watching the ceremony of the European Golden Globe Awards next to the TV. Although Rist has long been revealed by the French football magazine. But when he actually heard Nedved's score, he applauded very excitedly.

197 points, more than 50 points more than Ronald in second place. Rist was very happy that this was Nedved's first European Ballon d'Or. This is the real European Ballon d'Or, the highest honor in Shijie football.

"Jochen, how's that?"

Rist is not alone watching TV, Jochen. Caitz and Rist watch TV together. Jochen. Caitz also attaches great importance to the European Golden Globe Awards. Because there are many players sponsored by PUMA, but among these players, there is no player who can be regarded as an absolute superstar of this era. Before this European Ballon d'Or, even Nedved and Pobosky were not absolute superstars.

But this time is different. With Nedved winning the European Ballon d'Or, Nedved has truly become an absolute superstar among the stars born in the 70s. The benefits for Puma are not a little bit.

"Rist. We all won. ”

Jochen. Caitz was very happy. Nike and Adidas are both superstar players with shijie-level ratings. But the Puma brand is not as good as them. The players they have are not as good as them. Now Puma has finally come out with a superstar figure who can compare with Figo, Zidane, and Ronaldo. Having such a superstar in the seat is a huge boost for PUMA's brand.

As for Lister, too. Although Rist is very strong, he is currently the most powerful agent in European football. But Rist also has a drawback, which is that he doesn't have an iconic star. When Stretford was at its strongest. Although the strength is the strongest. But also because there is no iconic star Zuihou collapsed.

And with Nedved winning the European Ballon d'Or. Rist is also an iconic player. Even with a European Ballon d'Or player, Rist is becoming more and more confident.

"Jochen, this is the beginning. What do you think of the idea I came up with last time? ”

Begin. That's the beginning. Rist is convinced of this, and Nedved won the European Ballon d'Or in '03. Mainly thanks to his excellent performances at Juventus. The excitement of winning the Shijie Cup was not small, and after Nedved won the Shijie Cup, he returned to Juventus. Juventus has been outstanding, and now Juventus is not only leading the Serie A but also in the Champions League.

Rist believes that Nedved's current momentum will not be a problem even if he wins the European Ballon d'Or in '03. If he can really win the European Ballon d'Or for a second time, then Nedved's influence will be shijie at that time.

"You mean to come up with the Nedved brand?"

Before Nedved won the European Ballon d'Or, Rist and Jochen. Caitz talked about it. It is hoped that PUMA and Nedved will cooperate to launch a brand about Nedved. At that time, Jochen. There was some hesitation, but with the European Ballon d'Or Rist believing there would be no more problems.

"Jochen, it's not me bragging. This year's European Ballon d'Or is just the beginning, and Pavel will be the biggest contender for this award next year and the year after. Pavel's influence will only continue to increase, and there will be no fall. ”

Rist is confident in this. Because this period of time is a blank slate. Zidane is starting to grow old, and Ronaldo is starting to become fat. Without the domination of the two of them, the other powerful stars have their own problems.

Just like Shevchenko is very strong, but the Ukrainian national team is scum. Thierry Henry is hailed as one of the most regrettable stars in the history of the Ballon d'Or, but he has made a big splash in the Premier League, but Arsenal's disadvantage in the Champions League has become his huge fatal point. In addition, Zidane is the boss of the national team, and Henry can only live in the shadow of Zidane.

So in the next two or three years, it will be a blank period for superstars. Otherwise, Ronaldinho would not have been able to win the European Ballon d'Or in Barcelona. If this period of superstar lull is well managed, Nedved will definitely be able to reach an unimaginable peak.

"Lister, let's discuss this matter. I think so. (To be continued......)
