176 Find a playmate
"Hello, ma'am."
Now Rist is also thick-skinned, and he calmly talks to strangers. But Rist didn't care, but the lady who was disturbed by Rist was a little stunned. Don't understand who Rister is? Even a little surprised.
Rist smiled and said, "The kid who is holding the ball now is your son." โ
Rist is not a prodigal son who has nothing to do and come over to talk to a woman, and it is obvious that this person in front of him is not a beauty, and he is not good enough to talk to Rist. Rist came to the parents of the little ones. Because the staff in Eindhoven told Rist that it was Afelai's mother who was sitting there. That's why Rist came over. Afelai's mother was Moroccan and was unable to integrate into Dutch society when she first arrived in the Netherlands. It's been years now, but he still feels new to the Netherlands. It is still very wary of outsiders.
"Yes. You are ......"
Afelai's mother looked at Rist suspiciously, and it was clearly a defensive expression. Because of Rist's age, he shouldn't be the parent of these children in front of him. After all, Rist is not even thirty years old now.
"The kid who just came here recently is the kid who is very good at dribbling the ball. That's the kid I brought with me from Argentina and I'm his agent. โ
Afellai's mother nodded and relieved. Every time his son came to train, he always came to watch. Therefore, many children of this age group in Eindhoven are very familiar, and he also knows the child who has just arrived. Like Rist said, the ball was brilliant.
As for the agent, he also knows. After all, the role of agents in European football is now increasing. When those children grow up, as long as they are slightly better, there is no agent. It's just a little surprising, because the kid heard that he was a year younger than his son, and he had an agent so quickly.
"Your son's talent is really good."
โxiexieใโ
Whoever praises their children will be happy, and Afellai's mother is no exception. When I heard someone praise my child, I was very proud and happy. Therefore, regardless of whether Rist is a stranger or not, he bragged to him about his children: "Ibrahim started playing football when he was four or five years old. At the age of seven, he was already the best kid in our neighborhood. People in our neighborhood say that Ibrahim must be a big star in the future. โ
"Yes, ma'am. Your son is really outstanding. With his talent, he will definitely make it to the first team of PSV Eindhoven in the future. โ
Afelai's mother nodded, watching Afelai's training on the field with great affection. Rist continued: "Ma'am, I am an agent. I'd love to have a player like Afelai. I don't know what your family's opinion is. โ
That's what Rist is for. A player as good as Afelai, Rist didn't want to give up.
"Ibrahim is still young." Afelai's mother didn't understand until now. This is because he has taken a fancy to his son and wants to be an agent for his son. However, in her opinion, Afelai is still young, and even if she is looking for an agent, she can't just look for it. Be sure to find an agent who can help your son. As for Lister next to him, although he was very happy when he spoke, he was not yet thirty years old. Is a fairly young broker. Such a broker is not what Afelรฉ needs. So Afelai's mother politely rejected Lister.
Rist though reluctant to show off. But in the face of these young players, there is still a need to brag. So he smiled and said, "Madam." Not that I'm boasting. I'm the best agent and I have a good relationship with PSV Eindhoven's managing director, Arnesen, and we're old friends. And now Ruud van Nistelrooy and Galasek are my players in the first team of PSV Eindhoven. โ
Afelai's mother then looked at Rist. Afelai's mother was not a fan. There is no clear picture of the development of European football. But because his son was trained in Eindhoven, he was more familiar with Eindhoven. Galasek was a regular in PSV Eindhoven for both seasons. Because PSV Eindhoven has changed a lot of personnel in the past two years, Galasek's players who have only been in the past two years have already begun to be old players in PSV Eindhoven. Ruud van Nistelrooy is the player who has just broken the transfer fee within Dutch football. Now Dutch newspapers are reporting on Vanney every day.
"You're the agent who robbed the player? Ah, no, I'm sorry. โ
Afelai's mother lost her voice, but quickly apologized to Rist. This is all because the recent newspapers have been reporting on Ruud van Nistelrooy breaking the transfer fee in Dutch football, and of course, it is inevitable to talk about Rister snatching Ruud van Nistelrooy. Although the Dutch Football Federation decided that Rist was not responsible, everyone in Dutch football knew what was going on. Therefore, the newspapers directly stated that it was Riester who snatched Vanney.
For these statements in the media, Lister does not care at all. It's that he robbed Fanny by himself, and this kind of thing is a stain and is very criticized for being placed in a year and a half. But today, a year and a half later, it is not a stain. On the contrary, with the rise of Ruud van Nistelrooy in Dutch football, Rist's hand has become the envy of many agents. Even among the brokers, Rist's hand is a hand that can enter the broker's textbook.
"Nothing. You see, when I became Ruud van Nistelrooy's agent, he was just a player in the Dutch second division. But I moved him to the Eredivisie six months later and PSV Eindhoven a year later. He was still playing in the Dutch second division at the age of 20, but now at the age of 22 he has broken the transfer fee record within Dutch football. โ
This is the grade. It's not a lot of things, but it's capital when it comes to attracting young players. Tell them about Rist's PR skills, tell them about Rist's strength. It also touched Afelai's mother.
'I can guarantee that Afele will be taken the most seriously at PSV Eindhoven and the road from youth to first team will be a smooth one.
In places like the PSV Eindhoven Academy, there are some differences. Those talented players will always be given the most care, and many ordinary players do not enjoy more care. As a result, Zuihou's excellent players are getting better and better, while those who are less talented are getting more and more left out in the cold.
But there's no way around it. Eredivisie giants like PSV Eindhoven, they have selected the best of the best It was a brutal knockout tournament where a lot of talented young players were eliminated in the process of growing up because they couldn't stand the gap from talent to average.
If they go to some of the smaller clubs, they might become the treasures of those clubs. Valued for them, a career could be a different path. So for young players, it's not the same when a club values or doesn't pay attention to results.
"Mr. Cherny, I need to go back and discuss this matter with Ibrahim's father."
Reesette nodded.
"Madam, there's no hurry. I have one more thing to ask you for. โ
"You say."
Afelai's mother was surprised. Although she didn't know how powerful Rist was, being able to have Fanny and Galasek was already very powerful in the eyes of Afelai's mother. And Afele's family is just Moroccan immigrants and nothing. She didn't know what else she could do to help Lister.
"Ma'am, you know there's one of my players down there. His name is Leo. Messi, the talent is as good as Ibrahim's, and he is definitely top-notch. However, he had just come from Argentina, and his family conditions were average, and he did not understand the language, so he suddenly came to an unfamiliar environment, so he was a little introverted. I think he should have a friend so he wouldn't be so silent. You see that your son is just as talented as he is, and he is a year older. Is it possible to take care of him. โ
"So that's it, it's nothing. I'll talk to Ibrahim. โ
Afele's mother was sympathetic to Messi because they were also immigrants from Morocco. When they first came to the Netherlands, they were also very uncomfortable, and they knew about it. And Afelai's current impression of Rist is very good, because Rist, as an agent, even cares about children making friends. It seems to be a very responsible agent.
If Afellai's mother knew what Rister really thought, she wouldn't think so, and would even have the idea of scratching Rist to death. Because in Lister's heart, Messi is the future king. Afelai is a gift, and having him or not has no big impact on Rist. For Messi's sake, Rist wants to find him a partner. If there is any conflict between Messi and Afelai in the future, Rist can abandon Afelai without hesitation. Messi and Afele are not at all an equal weight class in Rist's scale.
"Xiexie you, ma'am. Whether you accept my offer or not, I can do my best to help Afelai's future in Eindhoven. โ
Seeing Ribeiro's negotiation for Ronaldinho, Lister understood a little. Ribeiro was able to rise to prominence later and grab his own territory in the kingdom of Figer, and he definitely has his own ability. One of his biggest strengths is his ability to maintain friendships with many superstars who are not his players.
On the surface, he is very righteous, and he maintains a good relationship with that player, even if it does not bring him direct benefits. It's a huge connection.
Rist hoped so, too. Even if Afellai's parents don't approve of Riester, Riester wants to be able to maintain a good relationship with Afellai. Because of this personal relationship, sometimes it can achieve many purposes. For example, if Lister and Ronaldo have a good personal relationship now, then they can rely on him to build a relationship with Inter. If you have a good relationship with Zinedine Zidane, you can establish a relationship with Juventus.
But that's all for later. For Lister, the most important thing is to find a playmate for Messi and not let Messi be too lonely. (To be continued......)
