"How's Deportivo going?"

"Good news."

As the game on PSV Eindhoven's side drew to a close, Rist turned his head to ask his staff. While watching PSV Eindhoven's game, Rist is also keeping an eye on news from other venues. Of the other three games that started at the same time, Rist focused on just one. That was the match between Deportivo La Coruna and Juventus.

Deportivo La Coruna plays at home against the mighty Juventus. The current manager of Juventus is their meritorious coach Lippi, who was very strong last season. But after this season, Juventus' results began to drop significantly. Especially with the poor relationship between Lippi and Davies, Davies defected to Barcelona in the winter after being left out in the cold.

Davies is definitely the top midfielder in European football at the moment. This man's interception ability and running ability are among the best in European football, and he is very important in the Juventus midfield. Therefore, after Davies left, Juventus's midfield control should have decreased too much in the midfield's interception ability. Therefore, in Serie A, it is already clearly feeling the struggle.

In Juventus, Lister has Nedved, while in Deportivo there is Villa. So even though he was in the Netherlands, Rist was also keeping an eye on the results of the opening game at the same time. So when the game in PSV Eindhoven was about to end, Rist immediately inquired about the news on the other side.

"How much is it?"

"Two to zero. The game is over. ”

"Who won?"

"A Coruña."

Although Rist thought that Deportivo La Coruna would win, he heard that Deportivo La Coruna won 2-0 at home to Juventus. Still very happy. Nedved is famous enough, and losing one or two games is nothing to Nedved and will not affect Nedved's status. So what matters more for Lister now is how Deportivo Villa's Villa performs.

'Luke scored a goal, Villa scored a goal.

Hearing this, Rist couldn't help but clench his fists. Villa's form is getting better and better, and Villa have scored 15 goals in La Liga this season. Combined with Champions League goals, he now has 19 goals for Deportivo La Coruna. Of course, one goal was scored in this game, and Villa's goal this season has reached twenty.

"And Villa is a pass and a shot, and he is rated as the best player of the game."

The staff around Rist understood why Rister was concerned about that game. So I told Rist everything I knew. Rist nodded slightly. Very satisfied. Satisfied with Villa's performance. I am also satisfied with the staff in front of me.

"Good. That's great. ”

Today's two games are nothing short of big news for Lister. On PSV Eindhoven's side, Lister's players have been outstanding, including Yaya. Toure, Grigra, Di Natale, Drogba. Didier Drogba even scored twice against Lyon, and although he didn't score as much in the Eredivisie as Ruud van Nistelrooy, he was able to score more than 20 goals in a season. Plus Champions League, Dutch Cup matches. Drogba has already scored 23 goals in PSV Eindhoven this season.

Di Natale scored a few fewer goals than Drogba. But there were fourteen goals. Rist knows PSV Eindhoven have been doing well this season. A lot of players will definitely leave PSV Eindhoven. Among them is the current Lister player. The better they perform, the more money they will be able to make on a move to Rister this summer.

"Didi-Di-"

Looking at the phone number, Rist smiled. Then he turned on the phone and said, "Augusto." Congratulations on your victory over Juventus. I'm sure you're going to shock the European football world this season. ”

In fact, Rist knew the reason for Rondoiro's call. Since Villa's performance has improved, Rondoiro has called Rister every day. Because now Rondoiro is in a hurry, not in an ordinary hurry. Villa's liquidated damages are only 10 million euros, but Villa's current market is more than 15 million euros. If 10 million had taken away Villa, Rondoiro would have cried.

It's been almost four months since Rondoiro wanted to sign a new contract with Villa. But Rist never gave him a satisfactory answer, and it was always hee-hee haha who made things happen. Now it was Rist who had the absolute dominance, and Rondoiro couldn't push Rist. So this matter has been dragging on for four months.

And with Villa shining again in the match against Juventus, Rondoiro really can't wait. Because after Villa's performance is good, more and more clubs are interested in Villa. In particular, the Champions League is the biggest shining point, and if Villa performs well in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, then the value will continue to rise. However, Villa's liquidated damages were too small.

10 million euros is not much money for many European giants. Even if it is placed in the Premier League, not to mention those giants are Newcastle, Sunderland, Aston Villa, and even clubs like Middlesbrough can easily pay tens of millions of euros for transfer fees.

"Xiexie, you're there."

Rondoiro was in a hurry, so he was really in no mood to talk about anything else. After saying a few words, Rondoiro said directly: "Lister, where are you now?" I've got something for you. ”

Rist felt that Rondoiro was anxious, but he still said unhurriedly: "Augusto, I have to go to Liverpool tomorrow." Champions League knockout tie in Liverpool tomorrow night. ”

"That's good. I'm also looking to see the big club clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid, so I'm going to Liverpool tomorrow as well. ”

"No problem. Tickets I will prepare haode. ”

After putting down the phone, Rist couldn't help but whistle. Rist never thought of pit Deportivo because Rist saw Deportivo as a partner for many years to come. But Deportivo can't take advantage of everything, how can Lister let Deportivo get his way without any benefits.

…………

Rist is in a good mood here, but not everyone is in a good mood. After watching Porto beat Manchester United 2-1 at the Stadio de Dragons, Mendes didn't have the excitement on his face as he imagined. Although Porto was basically his man from the coach to the players under his command, and they performed well in this game, Mendes's expression was very solemn.

"Jorge, aren't you happy?"

Mendez's assistant Faria wasn't too happy to see Mendes, so he asked Mendes in a whisper. Mendez sighed, shook his head, and said, "I was wrong, I was really wrong. ”

Faria didn't understand what Mendes meant. Faria, like Mendes, was a horse boy for Figer back then. However, Mendes has stronger wrists and belongs to the high-class horse boys, while Faria is the lowest level of errands. Since Mendes set up his own door, he has promoted Faria to become his assistant.

Faria is the one who really saw Mendes' skills and development. Although Figer had a falling out with Porto at the beginning, his strength in Portugal is still first-class and strong. And in addition to Figer, Ribeiro and Vega are all powerful agent predators. At the beginning, Mendes only had the support of Porto, and he was completely inferior to them in terms of strength. But Mendes was good at dancing among so many agent predators, and finally kicked out the three agent predators. Therefore, Faria admires Mendes. So Faria was surprised to hear Mendes keep saying he was wrong.

"I was wrong last summer. When I saw Real Madrid and Barcelona coming, I hurriedly contacted them. If Jose hadn't stopped me, Anderson would have been sent to Barcelona. The life of a wealthy family is not easy. It's that I'm too anxious. ”

Mendez shook his head. When Faria heard Mendes' words, she immediately understood what he meant. Mendes is regretting his summer moves, especially Cristiano for Real Madrid. Ronaldo and Quaresma, who moved to Barcelona.

Both of them were among the best talented players in Portuguese football at the time, but unfortunately their performances were not satisfactory after arriving at Real Madrid and Barcelona. Cristiano. Ronaldo can still have a chance to play because of Queiroz, but Quaresma has been nailed to the bench by Barcelona. Deco, who stayed at Porto, on the other hand, have been in excellent form this season, with Porto having been in the Champions League group and winning 2-1 at home to Manchester United.

"I was wrong. It might be better for them if they were able to work out again in Portugal for a year or two. ”

Mendes was very disappointed, not in general. Attacking in the summer of '03 was too much of a failure for him. After Mendes gained ground in Portugal, the next step is of course to get out of Portugal. It's a pity that I was too anxious at the time, and I was blinded by the name of the wealthy family. The first step was a failure, and the disappointment of both players who entered the big club also affected Mendes' reputation.

But soon Mendes burst out laughing. He is a person who does not like to fail, but he is also a person who is not afraid of failure. Having just seen Porto win, he just had some sighs. Now that it has failed, the most important thing now is how to make up for it, and not sigh here.

"Tickets bought?"

"Yes."

Tomorrow is the most attractive knockout round of the Champions League, with Liverpool hosting Real Madrid. A lot of big football bowls, including club executives, many agents and predators, and celebrities from their respective clubs will come to watch this game. Rist is watching, and Mendes is watching.

Real Madrid's head coach Queiroz is Mendes' coach, Cristiano Queiroz. Ronaldo is a player under Mendes. So Mendes will be watching that game as well.

"By the way, I'm going to London tomorrow after the game. In London, you arrange a better place for me, and I have an important guest to feast. (To be continued......)

PS: Today's one-stop. Since I was in college, I felt that this was the worst cold. Playing four hanging bottles in a row didn't work well.
