588 Defender of kings
"Is it the fault of the nouveau riche, or is it the fault of Real Madrid!"
When the transfer news of Manchester City came out, many people complained about Manchester City and almost cursed him. Because not every league in European football is independent, on the contrary, with the deepening of the commercialization of football, the major leagues in European football are becoming more and more closely connected.
If it was fifteen or twenty years ago, what happened in one league would not have affected other leagues. Leagues are relatively independent from each other and rarely affect each other. Even a lot of players don't choose to play abroad. The English players, the Italian players, the Spanish players and the German players, they don't like to go abroad very much now, and it has a lot to do with the closed environment back then. They all like to stay and play in their league. But now if something happens to one league, it will soon affect other leagues as well. In particular, the emergence of the Boseman Act has brought everyone closer together.
It is precisely because of this that Manchester City's first transfer came out and was complained about by countless giants in European football. Because Manchester City's first transfer was made with Sparta Prague, a giant of the Czech league. Sparta Prague's main central defender Thiago. Silva joined Manchester City for £27 million. This transfer can be said to have shocked the entire European football world.
The pound is not favored by many people this year, and there is a lot of international travel money that wants to short the pound. But so far the pound has not fallen too fast. On the contrary, the pound has maintained its strength so far, but those who want to short the pound are happier. Because the pound can still be strong now, and when the pound falls, no one can stop it. The profit will be even more then.
Because the pound is still holding. So the transfer fee is very high. 27 million pounds, converted into euros, is more than 40 million euros. A centre-back, a player who has not yet proven himself in a major European league, sold for more than 40 million euros. What kind of price is this. Even the best defenders in the Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga are unlikely to sell for such a high price.
Grandma's, when did the defender be so valuable. Real Madrid's 30 million euros to buy Pepe of Porto, the Portuguese Super League, last summer has already made many clubs angry, but I didn't expect Manchester City, the nouveau riche to be like this. Thiago. Silva has been in good form in the Champions League this season, reaching the quarter-finals with Sparta Prague. But it can't be so outrageous.
This is a big blow to many giants and strong teams. Because the increase in player transfer fees is comparable. You Real Madrid bought Pepe for 30 million euros and Manchester City bought Thiago for more than 40 million euros. Silva. This will greatly increase the price of a centre-back in European football. Although not as outrageous as Real Madrid and Manchester City. But it won't be as cheap as it used to be. The centre-back, who used to be 5 million euros, could now be 10 million euros if you want to buy. And they're going to make a lot of great centre-backs worth 20 million euros, 30 million euros.
At present, the most gnashing of teeth is the giants. Because they are the big ones in the transfer market, they are the ones who hurt the most this time. Because they will have to bring in reinforcements later. It's going to happen. They will all start with Pepe and Thiago. Silva as standard. At that time, the transfer fee will be greatly increased. But now among the giants of European football. There are several giants who have the strength to spend money like this.
But just as they were gritting their teeth, a transfer came out. It's still Manchester City, it's still Sparta Prague. Manchester City have brought in Sparta Prague's main left-back Klarov for £16 million.
"Rist. You're not being kind. The big teams in European football are scolding you. ”
Pinny. Zahavi shook his head. The first to hit this is not another club, but Chelsea at the moment. Because Chelsea are eyeing Sparta Prague's right-back Branislav Branislav Ivanovic, it is absolutely necessary to bring in this summer.
Speaking of which, Chelsea have no shortage of defenders. However, John Terry and Carvalho were both injured last season, and Chelsea lacked good right-backs. Therefore, Ivanovic, who can play right-back and central defender, is a sweetheart.
I didn't expect such two transfers to come out at this time. Thiago. Silva £27 million and Krarov £16 million. So what will Ivanovic, who is more famous than them and is still the main right-back of Sparta Prague, be worth. This is the chain reaction, Krarov is already 16 million pounds, Ivanovic can never be cheaper than him.
Originally, Chelsea were hoping to bring in Branislav Ivanovic for around £10 million in the winter, but now it is difficult to get Ivanovic without £17 million. Abramovich was also affected by the economic crisis brought about by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, and his fortunes began to shrink. Therefore, he is not as lavish in spending money as he used to be. That's why Pini. Zahavi had even more headaches.
"Hehe, Pinny. All the agents in European football are thanking me. ”
Rist can be said to have made a lot of money at once this time. Thiago. Half of Silva's ownership is still in Rist's hands, and Rist has received £13.5 million in the middle. With his arrival at Manchester City, Rist also received a £3 million commission from Manchester City. And Thiago. Silva's annual salary at Sparta Prague was only €1.2 million, but when he arrived at Manchester City, his salary became £80,000 a week. Salaries have increased more than fourfold, almost fivefold.
Except for Thiago. Silva, Krarov is not a player of Lister, but it was Rister who brought it to Sparta Prague in the first place. Rist holds 30 percent ownership, including Ivanovic. Sixteen million pounds were sold, and Rist received almost five million pounds. In just two transfers, Rist earned more than £21 million.
Rist relied on Manchester City this time to fire the value of the player, which did dissatisfy many giants. But they are even more dissatisfied with Real Madrid, if it weren't for Real Madrid's 30 million euros last summer, they would not have made such an outrageous transfer this time. And for many agents and small teams, Rist is simply their big savior.
Rist's move this time made all the agents in European football happy. The more problematic the transfer fee. The more room for the broker to operate. The more space a broker has to operate, the more commissions the broker will have. For these brokers, Rist is their bellwether. All of them have to thank Rist.
"But you're off to a bad start. In the future, the transfer fee of the player will not be able to stop the car. ”
Pinny. Zahavi doesn't have any players at his disposal, so the increase in the player's transfer fee does not do him much good. However, the increase in transfer fees will make it more difficult for players to transfer. Pini is needed at that time. An agent like Zahavi operates and therefore can be regarded as a beneficiary.
"Pinny, you're overestimating me. One is Real Madrid and the other is Chelsea. If there is no Real Madrid. The transfer of a superstar wouldn't have been so sensational. Wouldn't the transfer fee be so inflated. Without Chelsea, the transfer market in European football would have shrunk long ago. Without Real Madrid and Chelsea, a centre-back like Thiago would be selling for six or seven million pounds. ”
An agent like Rist's is not a decisive force in the development of football. On the contrary, the agent is just a force to follow the development of football. In fact, the transfer market in European football is so prosperous, and it is Chelsea that has contributed the most.
In '03, '04. In fact, the transfer market in European football is slowly declining. Especially since Serie A is in decline. The crazy Serie A nouveau riche is gone. So the transfer market at that time was not as prosperous as it was in the late 90s and early 21st century. Player transfer fees also began to become rational, but it was at this time that Abramovich arrived in the Premier League. As soon as he appeared, he held up the transfer market that was starting to be sluggish. Player transfer fees began to skyrocket, and it was also Chelsea who pushed for it at the time.
If the transfer fee of European football players has reached the point where it is now. Real Madrid and Chelsea are definitely the first to be responsible. As for agents like Rist, there is only a bit of fuel at best.
"Don't talk about that. Lister, who would be the best coach for Chelsea at the moment? ”
"Oh?"
Rist doesn't understand Pinny. Zahavi's meaning. Jose Mourinho has only been in charge of Chelsea for a little more than three years, but for the current Chelsea, Chelsea is Mourinho and Mourinho is Chelsea. Jose Mourinho is a god in the hearts of Chelsea fans, and their favourite manager for so many years is probably Jose Mourinho. There are very few people like Jose Mourinho who have left his mark on a club in such a short period of time.
Now Mourinho is gone, and Grant replaces Mourinho as interim manager. Grant was able to become interim head coach thanks to Pini. Zahavi's relationship. Both are Israelites and there is no Pini. Zahavi, Grant How can a manager with nothing become a Chelsea manager.
But Grant is too famous after all, and everyone in Chelsea now, including European football, thinks that Grant is just a replacement. Now it's just a temporary caretaker.
"Mendes recommended Scolari to Roman."
"Mendes is strong."
Lister replied not as asked, but Pini. Zahavi understood. Abramovich fired Mourinho because the two had a falling out over Shevchenko last season. However, Mendes, as Mourinho's agent, was able to maintain a close relationship with Abramovich after Mourinho was fired. It's definitely a great job.
"Lister, you do the math for me. There is no manager in European football at the moment who is more suitable for Chelsea than Scolari. ”
In a short period of time, Riester thought a lot, and soon figured out Pini. Zahavi's meaning. Mourinho was fired for squid, and there is Pini in it. Zahavi's contribution. Pinny. Zahavi couldn't get used to Mendes wanting to monopolize the Chelsea transfer market, so he made some moves. Unexpectedly, Mendes still didn't give up, and Mourinho wanted to recommend another manager of his own when he left. Do you really think you're a soft persimmon, or when Chelsea is your own turf? Pinny. Zahavi is not something to be trifled with.
Speaking of which, Scolari was also the head coach of Figer. Luxenburg did not do well in the Brazilian national team that year, and he caused public anger because of the sale of national team players. While this is the kind of thing that every Brazilian national team manager does, Luxemberg does it too blatantly in Brazil. Brazilian players who want to enter the Brazilian national team, and even some big-name players, need to give Lusenborg money, otherwise he will dare to brush them down. Luxenberg offended too many people by doing this, so he really angered the public, and finally stepped down.
Luxemburg stepped down, but Figel didn't want to give up the big cake of the Brazilian national team, so he pushed Scolari out of the country again. At that time, when Figer was at his strongest, the head coach of the Brazilian national team was able to decide. It's a pity that after the Korea-Japan World Cup, Figel was hit hard, and Scolari also switched to the Portuguese national team. As a result, he left Figer and became a coach under Mendes.
Mendes is so bullish. Mourinho's time began to exclude other agents from intervening at Chelsea, and Mourinho left to use Scolari to continue to control the Chelsea transfer market. Pinny. Zahavi, as Chelsea's royal agent, certainly won't agree. However, Scolari's results are very good and his fame is also great, and there are not many managers who match him in world football at present.
"Pinny, what's there to think about here. Can you tell me what Scolari's achievements have at the club? ”
"Lister, Scolari has two Copa Libertadores titles in South America."
"Hehe, Pinny. It was the Copa Libertadores winner, not the Champions League. In addition to coaching South American clubs, Scolari's other achievements have been achieved in the national team. Successful managers in South America are full of failures in European football. ”
Rist shook his head. Scolari's fame is huge, but his achievements are more in the hands of the Brazilian national team and the Portuguese national team. As for the results of coaching in South America, it is still a newcomer to European football.
"Pini, since Mendes recommended Scolari, you recommend Carlo Ancelotti. Carlo Ancelotti is also a Champions League-winning coach who has coached Juventus and Milan. No better than Scolari. ”
"Ancelotti?"
"yes. Ancelotti is having a hard time right now, you just have to go over and get in touch with it. ”
Rist may say Scolari is worthless, but his results are outstanding. In particular, he led the Portuguese national team to a good result, which added a lot of points to him. There aren't many coaches who can beat Scolari at the moment, and Carlo Ancelotti is one of them.
"That's a good candidate." (To be continued......)
