"Investigated."

Gibson is low-key, but has his own opinions. Rist's words were so fantastical that Gibson was really excited. Gibson can be said to have strongly supported Middlesbrough in the past seven years, and invested more than 70 million pounds in the transfer market at Middlesbrough.

If you invest more than £70 million in the seven years of the 21st century, that is very little. Because after a few years, with the arrival of Roman Abramovich, the Premier League teams are spending more and more money. Seven million pounds in seven years is at the bottom of the Premier League. At that time, it was common to invest more than hundreds of millions in seven years.

But the past seven years have been different. Seven years ago, £5 million was a Premier League transfer record, and until this summer, the Premier League transfer record was Alain. Shearer kept fifteen million pounds. The Premier League teams that have spent more than Middlesbrough in seven years can be counted on one hand. However, the results were not satisfactory.

Gibson understands that Middlesbrough's £70 million plus £70 million in players is too much of a parallel bargain. Too many parallel goods have wasted too much transfer fee on Middlesbrough. That's why he'd love to get to know a great agent like Rist. That's why he took a serious look into it.

"Yes. Rist has a good reputation in Spanish football and many clubs are willing to deal with him. And Rist has two head coaches, and the situation of Coach Benitez is easy to find. Rist has been a strong supporter of Coach Benitez since his time at Esttremadura and has been very generous with the players. The players that Rister introduced to Coach Benitez are now famous. Including Jankohler and Vicente and others. ”

Helping Gibson with the investigation was Middlesbrough's general manager, Borow. This person was a close confidant of Gibson and had been following Gibson all along. I've been the general manager of the club for a long time. Borough handed over all the information he had investigated to Gibson. Gibson looked at the information and thought about what Rist had said. There was a slight movement in my heart.

"What do you think of Rist's proposal?"

Gibson thought about it for a moment and asked Borough anyway.

"If you look at the development of Coach Benitez, it's good for us to work with him. However, we can't be sure that Rist will support coach Moyes as much as he supports coach Benitez. ”

Hearing Boro's answer, Gibson smiled and said, "He will not support less than Coach Benitez." Because the future of the Premier League will attract all the agents in European football. Rist and Stretford, Jerome. Anderson has not had a good relationship and has few options in the Premier League to work with. Maybe Lister just wants to use David. David Moyes has built a fortress of his own in English football. ”

If Rist was here, he would have been very surprised. Because Gibson completely deduced what Rist had in mind in some simple things. Rist originally wanted to form an alliance with Sunderland, but unfortunately because of the conflict with Stretford, he could only give up the strategic alliance with Sunderland.

Rist doesn't want Moyes to go to Everton. Because although Everton are a traditional powerhouse in England, their board is stingy. They are not going to give Moyes more support. On the contrary, Gibson of Middlesbrough is richer and more bold. David Moyes once took charge of Middlesbrough. Middlesbrough will surely become one of the Premier League powerhouses. Therefore, in Lister's view, Middlesbrough is far more suitable to work with than Everton.

"Are you in favor of cooperation?"

"Let's take a look. Let's learn more about David. Moyes, if David. David Moyes has the quality and Rist is really willing to help, so it's not a bad thing for us. ”

…………

Lister has screened out Premier League clubs and believes Middlesbrough is the best fit for Moyes, but Rist is not going to put all his eggs in one basket. Because in the Premier League. There are plenty of other clubs that suit Moyes. It's like what Rist said to Moyes. Sunderland and Everton are all suitable. And now there is half a season left in the 00-01 season. This matter can be talked about slowly. After all, the most important thing for Middlesbrough at the moment is how to stay relegated.

2000 has passed, and it is already 2001. Rist returned to the Czech Republic, to Prague. Because there's a big thing waiting for Rist today. It should be said that it is a big event in the whole of Czech football.

The first real, modern youth academy in the Czech Republic is to be established here. The establishment of the youth training base this time supports not only the Czech Football Association, but also the top management. So much so that with the support from above, the Prague city government granted the Football Association 80 hectares of land in the suburbs as a youth training base. It is even much larger than the Clafontine youth base in France, which is only 56 hectares.

In the plan of the Czech Football Federation, there will be 11 grass football pitches and 3 artificial fibre pitches, for a total of 14 football pitches. And there will be schools, hospitals, and so on next to him. There will be more than 80 coaches stationed here all year round, and there will be more than 30 masseurs. In terms of size, it far exceeds the Clairefontaine academy in France.

Of course, this is just regulation, and there is not so much money at all now. The Czech Football Association, Riester, and Puma negotiated several times, and Zuihou reached an agreement. PUMA invests three million euros a year, plus they provide all the training clothes. Rist has raised his investment bar, investing €6 million in the first year and €4 million in each of the remaining four years.

As a result, Puma will invest 15 million euros over the next five years, and Rist will invest 22 million euros over the next five years. A total of 37 million euros will be invested over the next five years, and a total of 42 million euros will be raised by the Czech Football Federation over the next five years. When the money is in place, the youth training base will be considered preliminarily completed.

Puma's investment is for the first five years, and if they want to continue investing, they can talk about it later. However, Puma's naming rights to the youth training base are for ten years. At the end of his contract, Rist continued to invest, which was five million euros a year for the next five years.

The benefits of everyone have also been discussed. Puma wants an advertising effect, so he asked this youth training base to be named "Puma Youth Training Base". As for the Czech Football Association, of course, it is to improve the results of the national team, as long as the national team has good results, everything is good. And it was negotiated with Lister, and the ownership of the players in the youth base was divided between the two sides. The Czech Football Federation got three, and Riester got seven.

"Liester, hopefully in ten years' time we in the Czech Republic will be able to really compete with the big European teams."

Merkley stood in front of the academy base and said to Rist very proudly. Rist looked at the academy that had already started construction, and it was still a wilderness. With the arrival of nine million euros from the first phase of Riester and Puma, as well as one million euros from the Czech Football Association, the money of 10 million euros is available. The construction of the youth training base has also begun. Rist knew it would take years for the ambitious academy to be fully completed.

"Barwell, I'm thinking about when I'll be able to pay back after I invested so much money."

"Haha."

Merkley heard Rist's words as hahadaxiao. This time, the problem of the youth training base, Riester is at a big cost. It turned out that Rist's plan was to invest tens of millions of euros in the first five years, but the Czech Football Association, it should be said that Merkley's big jihua, caused Rist to invest more money. Rist will invest 22 million euros in the first five years. In the next five years, 25 million euros will be invested. Over the next 10 years, Rist will have to invest 47 million euros in the academy.

It can be said that without Rist's investment, this youth training base would not have been established. Rist is now calculating whether he will be able to earn his money back in the next ten years. Rist is not a super-rich man with a net worth of tens of billions, and an investment of nearly 50 million euros is a lot of investment for Rist.

"Lister, when this academy reaches two or three hundred players a year, your money will be doubled."

Rist smiled. That's what Rist was waiting for. For such a large youth training base, there should be more than 200 graduates every year. Rist hopes that by then these players will be up and down the Czech football scene, and it would be better if they will be able to go abroad to earn foreign exchange. At that time, the 50 million euros I invested may be earned back in a summer. Even if there are no 200 graduates, as long as there are 100 graduates, it is very good.

"Bower, the current Czech players are in the golden generation. But by the time this group of players passes, our Czech football may be in the doldrums for a few years. ”

Merkley nodded. The players of the Czech golden generation are not young now, and they can last until around 2006 at most. If the sports life is a little longer, it may be 2008. But at the current pace of construction of the Czech youth base, it is impossible to have a few players in two or three years. It wasn't until three or four years later that you were able to start having young players.

The time for this youth base to really play a role and give blood to Czech football should be seven or eight years later. It is estimated that it will take more than ten years for him to cultivate a large number of talented players.

"Any strong team has peaks and valleys. This is true in Brazil, Germany, and even more so in the Czech Republic. As long as our youth training continues, our Czech football will not stop. ”

Rist shrugged, then looked at the wilderness behind him. It is the dream of Czech football and the dream of Rister's future. Rist relied on memory to become the No. 1 agent in Shijie football, but after more than ten years, this memory is gone. At that time, Lister needs a more stable player market to support him, and this youth base is Rister's biggest backing. With this largest youth training base in European football, Rist can continue to call the wind and rain in European football. (To be continued......)

PS: Three more, I hope to understand. It's too difficult to have four more days a day, and I won't dare to boast like this in the future.
