492 Lyon
"If I had Ancelotti, I should have dug a hole myself."
Looking at Ancelotti, who had lost his soul after the game, Rist shook his head. Coupled with today's game, Ancelotti is really going to be laughed at by everyone in European football. Ancelotti, who is only 46 years old, has 20 years left as a manager. It is estimated that with more experience, this kind of thing will become less and less. But at present, Ancelotti has been overturned in important games, not once or twice, but again and again.
"Liester, he was able to coach Juventus at the age of forty. Tell us about how many of the young managers in European football are able to do this. ”
Arneson replied with a smile. Carlo Ancelotti's career as a coach after his retirement has been smooth. First as an assistant to Sachi, then for two years at a small club, he went straight to Juventus. Of course, he did well in small clubs, so he was favored by Juventus. Later, he was known as the "second of the millennium" at Juventus, but immediately after leaving Juventus, he found a job in Milan. There are very few coaches who have such a smooth experience in European football.
"Yes."
Reesette nodded. Although Ancelotti always has this kind of inexplicable rout, his strength is not covered, he still has a hand. Although the future is low-key, he is also one of the best coaches in European football.
"Lister, PSV Eindhoven are a lot of good players. After this Champions League, I don't know how many people PSV Eindhoven will be able to stay. ”
"Eindhoven should have gotten used to it a long time ago."
Eindhoven has not gone three or four years in these years, and at most half of the players have gone. Even last season was Robben and Yaya. Toure, Drogba, Di Natale, these people. It's normal to have four or five players down this summer.
In the current PSV Eindhoven, Park Ji-sung, Lee Young-pyo, Bouma, and Van Bommel are all players who will definitely leave. Alex is a player on loan from Chelsea to PSV Eindhoven, and Grigra is not short of buyers. If players like Huntelaar, Messi and Farfan want to transfer, it will be the club that will reach out. There are pros and cons to such a good result this time.
"That's why I said I hated Bosman. Without Bosemin, I could have created a dynasty in Eindhoven. ”
Arneson was indignant and did not have the slightest affection for Bosman. Rist didn't answer, instead shook his head. Without Bosman, PSV Eindhoven would definitely not be an opponent for Ajax. There was no blow from the Bosman Act. Eindhoven were unable to beat Ajax throughout the nineties. The strength of Ajax's golden generation at that time was terrifying to the entire European football world.
Even after that golden generation of players, Ajax has once again cultivated a group of talented players. Ajax, composed of players such as Van der Vaart, Sneijder, De Jong, Heitinga and Van der Meyde, is another golden generation, and it is easy to sweep away PSV Eindhoven. Without the Boseman Act, PSV Eindhoven are far from being a match for Ajax in terms of youth ability. The players who have come out of PSV Eindhoven's academy over the past decade are far from being Ajax's opponents in terms of quality and quantity.
PSV Eindhoven have been able to keep Ajax firmly in the past decade, thanks entirely to the Boseman Act. Arneson's approach would not have been possible without the Boseman Act. Arneson should be even more grateful to the Boseman Act.
"Frank, aren't you scolding me? Without Boseman, where I am today. ”
"Boseman himself figured out the rules that changed the order of world football. And then I was destitute. They can only eat relief food. And after this bill came out, it cultivated a large number of millionaire and multimillionaire players. And you millionaires, multimillionaires and even billionaire brokers come out. You say he's not stupid, and it's ironic that you say it's not funny. ”
"Huh. All the players in Europe are thanking Bosem. ”
PSV Eindhoven triumphantly reached the Champions League final, making it easier for both Rist and Arneson. Boseman finished talking. The two of them were thinking about finding a place to eat when Lister's cell phone rang.
"Hello, I'm Lister. Cherny. ”
Very formulaic answer. Because Rist found that finding a mobile phone number was relatively unfamiliar, and it was not someone Rist knew. Such people are generally people with some weight in European football, otherwise it would be impossible to call Lister's mobile phone directly. For such people, Lister will be very polite.
"Hello, Mr. Czerny. I'm Jean. Michelle. Aulas. ”
Although the other party only said his name, if Lister replied to him with a "let. Michelle. Who is Aulas? Then this matter will definitely become a big laughing stock in European football. Although Rist had no contact with the man on the phone, it was impossible not to have heard his name.
Because this person is the president of Lyon, the hegemon of Ligue 1 football. A powerful figure who ruled Lyon for almost two decades. In Lyon you can not know who their top player is? Or also not knowing who their head coach is? But you can't help but know Aulas as a person, because the only one who can represent the club at Lyon is Aulas.
Although Rist is low-key in Ligue 1 football, there are only a few players. And it's always been a collaboration with the Metz club. But Aura goes to Rist, and Rist can't completely ignore him.
This man is very strong in French football. At the time of the Champions League game, Lyon wanted to adjust the timing of the Ligue 1 game. At the outset, the Ligue 1 organising committee rejected Lyon's request. But this incident angered Aulas. He went directly to the Ligue 1 rival club Nantes, and then approached the Ligue 1 competition organising committee, which forced them to change their initial decision.
It's not easy. Don't think it's easy to change the schedule. Once any league schedule has been announced, it is not easy to make changes because there are many interests involved. Including broadcast share (Ligue 1 broadcast is according to the time, Saturday game, Sunday game, different time game, broadcast TV station is different. The broadcast fee will be different depending on the broadcast station), the broadcast arrangement (including the preparation of the broadcast staff), the sale of tickets, and even the arrangement of fans to watch the game (and thus affect the sale of tickets). Even the arrangements of the journalists will be disrupted.
But Olas forced them to change the matter. This incident is enough to see the strength and prestige of Aulas in French football.
"Hello, Chairman Aulas."
"Okay. Well, I guess there will be a chance in the next two days. ”
"The president of Lyon?"
Seeing Rist put down the phone, Arneson asked Rist. Rist nodded and said, "It's Auras." Want to talk to me about a transfer. ”
"Auras, this person is not easy to deal with."
"What, you know?"
Although Rist is already the No. 1 agent in European football, he is no better than Arneson in terms of connections in all aspects. Because Arneson was once a player after all, and he was still a Danish international, and he was not short of connections. In addition, he has been in PSV Eindhoven for many years and has been in contact with many club leaders in European football. Acquaintances are not much less than Rist.
"There is some realization. This man is a tyrant, and have you ever heard of a coach in Lyon who resigned on his own? Except for Coach Perran, they all asked him to be fired. ”
"It doesn't matter if he's a tyrant or not. See you later. ”
Lyon are not the traditional giants of Ligue 1. In France, the traditional giants should be Saint-Etienne, Bordeaux, Monaco, and Marseille, and these clubs are the traditional giants of Ligue 1. Most of Lyon's results were acquired by Aulas when he took over.
Of course, the wealthy can't be eaten, and no matter how wide your ancestors are, it's useless now. That is, he can boast that his ancestors were once powerful. Lyon don't have a great history, but they are now the dominant side of Ligue 1. Just as Chelsea's history is very pale, in terms of history, Tottenham, Everton, Villa and even Newcastle and Sunderland have all blown Chelsea. But the current Premier League champion is Chelsea, that's the reality.
"Go over now, do you need me to book a plane ticket for you?"
Arneson has been in the Netherlands for many years, and this kind of thing is simply done. Rist shook his head, leaned back comfortably in his chair, and said leisurely, "Why should I go over when someone Olas makes a call." Am I such a good talker? Let's see, I'll talk about it in two days when I have time. ”
How strong Aulas is in Ligue 1 football, that's his business. Although Rist did not want to offend Leon and Aulas, he was not afraid of him. After all, Ligue 1 is only Ligue 1, Ligue 1 is already in decline, and it is no longer one of the five major leagues in European football. No matter how strong Lyon is, at most it will cause a little trouble for Lister in Ligue 1.
Rist and Aulas, one is the president of Lyon and the other is the number one agent in European football. In terms of identity, Rist doesn't need to rely too much on Olas. Therefore, Rist's willingness to go to France to meet with Olas was enough to save face. It would be a shame to rush past in a hurry.
"You, why bother?"
Arneson said so. In fact, I think so in my heart. Arneson, who has become Tottenham's sporting director, also looks down on Aolas. Ligue 1 has declined, and it is no longer one of the five major leagues compared to the Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga. In terms of appeal, Lyon are no match for Tottenham at all.
"Don't talk about him. Think about what we're going to eat at night. ”
Arneson and Rist head outside, ready to find a good place to eat. Rist shook his head, not knowing what Aura was looking for him. Leon, he doesn't have anything to do with Leon, and he doesn't know who he has a crush on.
