"Piette, I didn't expect to be able to see you on such an occasion."

After dealing with Tony's affairs, Rist came to Finland. Speaking of which, Rist still has a lot of things to do in the Premier League, Bundesliga, and La Liga, but Rist still let go of everything. Because the World Junior Championships are about to be held here.

The World Junior Championships were originally all competitions for players under the age of 16. However, since 1991, the upper age limit has been raised from 16 to 17 years. The World Junior Championship is the first appearance of many young talents in Shijie football, but Shijie football doesn't really care much about the World Junior Championships.

From past experience, most of the talented players who emerged in the World Junior Championship will die young, and the proportion of talents is too low. There are few who are as successful as Ronaldinho, and if there are ten top talented players in the World Junior Championships, Zuihou can become a superstar at most. And there are only two or three stars who can become a little better. The rest is basically lost in the process of growing up. This is still an ideal state, a somewhat undesirable state, and it is not without precedent that the talented stars who came out of the World Junior Championship have all been wiped out.

Not only in the World Junior Championships, but even in the World Youth Championships, the proportion of talented players who can become talents is very low. Therefore, most of the strong European teams, famous European scouts are most concerned about the World Youth Championships. There are very few strong teams and brilliant scouts who follow the World Junior Championships. If it weren't for Messi, Rist wouldn't have come to Finland.

On 13 August 2003, the World Junior Championships in Finland began. Rist came to Finland specifically with Messi.

Argentina's first match was against Nigeria. Argentina is tied with Nigeria, Australia and Costa Rica. It's just that what Lister didn't expect was that when he came to watch the first game, he saw a very surprised person on the field. Known as the "super scout" and "scouting master", Piette. Dvisel.

"Rist. You're here too. ”

Piette. Dvisel is over 60 years old and has been in the scouting industry for more than 30 years. Rist looked left and right, and Dvisel deserved to be the king of scouts.

The World Junior Championships itself has a small audience, and scouts can't say much. So everybody is basically in one place, in a place where the line of sight is very clear. So although the number of people is small, there are still very few empty seats in the place where everyone sits. But Dvisel was completely different, and he was surrounded by empty seats.

Those scouts recognized Dvisel early on, the first person to recognize the scout. Those scouts secretly rejoiced in their hearts, because to be able to make super scouts like Dvisel come out, is it because there are very good players in it? They have a lot of questions though. But they all sat far away. No one came to talk to him and bother him. Because there are no well-known scouts who can compete with Dvisel among the scouts who came today.

So Rist sat down next to Dvisel coldly, getting the attention of many scouts around him. After paying attention, everyone was even more surprised, and the arrival of a Dvisel had already surprised them. After all, it's not uncommon for Dvisel to follow the World Junior Championships. But it's too rare to follow the World Junior Championships. I didn't expect Dvisel to come. There was also a European broker predator. Those scouts don't know what the hell this jiashi is? Could it be that there really been earth-shattering talent in today's game that deserves the two of them?

"Piette. You should be busy. Chelsea transfers are buzzing right now. ”

"I'm just a scout and the transfer has nothing to do with me."

Dvisel shook his head and smiled at Rist. Rist did not contradict Dvisel. Scouting and brokering are two different industries. But there's really no strict distinction between them. And there is also a lot of insider trading of all kinds between the two parties.

Many small agents like scouting and hope that the scouts of a strong team will take a fancy to their players. Those scouting players are not volunteers. In addition to receiving their own fixed salary from the club, if a recommended player is favored by the club, then the agent's commission after the player's transfer is also shared with the scout. At this time, scouts are no different from agents who specialize in intermediaries.

As a result, many big-name scouts earn very well. Just like Dvisel in front of him, the fixed salary he gets is already the salary of many strong teams at the level of assistant coaches. Add to that the fact that he introduces a player to the club, so according to the development of that player, he can get all kinds of bonuses for a long time.

Of course, at Rist's level, it is already a phone call to speak directly to the club's management and manager. So there is no need for scouts at all, and Rist's guarantee is the role of scouts. But after all, there are more agents with poor strength in Shijie football. They need to work with those scouts.

"Then ...... you are here today"

"It's okay, take a break."

Rist shrugged and smiled. Looking at Rist's expression, Dvisel knew that Rist didn't believe his words, and none of the scouts around him would believe Dvisel's words.

Dvisel sighed. When a person is famous, his actions are restricted. Dvisel really just came out to breathe, to come and relax, and wanted to see the World Junior Championships. Because since Dvisel became famous, he hasn't watched the World Junior Championships for many years. Even the World Junior Championships are rarely on the scene. So I just wanted to come and have a look today. I didn't expect those scouts to be there whispering and looking at their faces.

"By the way, Rist, why are you still free to come to the World Junior Championships?"

Rist's arrival was even more abrupt. Although Dvisel's arrival has confused many agents, it is understandable. After all, Dvisel is still a scout, so it's not impossible to come and see. But Lister, an agent predator, came to watch the World Junior Championships without anything, which is really incomprehensible.

If it's okay when you're free, it's transfer time. Rist should be very busy, how can he have time to come to the scene of the World Junior Championships.

"Argentina, I have players in the Argentine junior team. You should know that Leo of Eindhoven. Messi. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. How did I forget this. ”

Dvisel patted his forehead. A super scout like Dvisel is busy every day, no less than an agent predator like Riester. If it hadn't been for Lister, he would have forgotten. But when it came to it, Dvisel looked at Rist again. Because of the three talented players who have come out of the Eindhoven academy, Huntelaar, Afelai, and Messi are all players of Rist. Huntelaar has been loaned to Heerenveen and scored seven goals in last season's Eredivisie campaign, with an okay run of form. Afelai and Messi are already in PSV Eindhoven's second team.

"Why did that little guy come to play the World Junior Championships too?"

"Yes. Sitting on the bench. He was young and had to be substituted in the first game. ”

Dvisel nodded. There are specific things that Dvisel didn't understand, but he could imagine. Messi has been playing in PSV Eindhoven's academy and is still well-known in the Dutch youth league. But after all, he didn't play in Argentina, and the coaches would definitely be very unfamiliar with him.

"Lister, you don't need him to participate in any World Junior Championships."

Until now, Dvisel has never paid attention to the World Junior Championships. The main reason is that there are too many changes in the players of the World Junior Championships, and the future is always unpredictable. That's why Dvisel usually has his sights set on the World Junior Championships. As a result, he also objected to Rister allowing his players to participate in the World Junior Championships. It wouldn't be better to wait until the future to play at the World Junior Championships.

"Piette, look at Argentina and Nigeria now with your eyes. See who can have a future? ”

Rist asked Dvisel casually. That is, the relationship between Lister and Dvisel, otherwise no one else would have asked him. Because Dvisel hasn't given players to other clubs for almost a decade. At the point where he is now, he cherishes his reputation more and more.

It is rumored that there is only one person who can get the player's information from Dvisel now. That's Guus Hiddink, who is currently in charge of PSV Eindhoven. It's like Robben's transfer, and it started with Dvisel introducing him to Arneson and Hiddink. Then Arneson and Hiddink clapped, bringing in Robben.

In order to leave a good name for himself, Dvisel is generally exempt from Chrysostom. But unlike Lister, the two of them just had a brief chat. And although Dvisel is a super scout, he doesn't dare to say that his eyesight can compare to Lister. So he looked at Rist and said, "Then I'll just say it?" ”

"I'm listening."

"The player in the midfield on the Argentine side, he played with great elegance. Kind of like Redondo, he has excellent vision for his age. ”

"That's Fernando. Gago, seventeen years old, player of Boca Juniors. ”

What Dvisel said was Gago, the core of the midfield of the Argentine national junior team. Gago is really good at playing now, I should say it is very elegant. The dribbles and passes stand out from the crowd.

"I didn't see the number 12 player on the Nigerian side. That's not bad either. ”

"John. Mikel, 16 years old. The most talented player in the Nigerian national junior team. ”

Dvisel didn't really know them. Today he really just wanted to distract himself, so he just randomly named the two best players of the game. But Rist did some homework, and the players Dvisel pointed out were all recognizable.

The most famous players who are currently playing on the field are Gago and Cardoso in the Argentine national junior team. Cardoso is the real core player of Argentina at present, and he is the core of the front court in the Argentine national junior team. As for Nigeria, not many people cared, but Mikel in midfield was not bad.

"Rist, are you really here for that little guy Messi this time?"

Rist is all too familiar with the players on the field. Dvisel smiled, not believing that Rist was only for a Messi. Maybe Lister came to a different goal this time, probably to poach a few talented players.

"Of course. Although there are many talented players in this year's World Junior Championships, they are all foils in front of Leo. I've got Leo in hand, and my future is secure. (To be continued......)
