"Antonio. Di Natale? ”

Arneson had never heard of the name at all. There are a lot of outstanding young players in Italy at the moment, including Totti and Piero, who are among the most talented players in European football. Even Pirlo, who is currently very unhappy, is a recognized talent in Italian football and is the successor of Baggio. In addition to these top talents, there are many more talented people in Italy. But Arneson knew that there was no name Dinatal among them.

Arneson has always been in Dutch football, but he still knows a lot about European football. Even the young players in Italian football know a lot. That's why it's even more unfamiliar to Di Natale.

"What kind of player is he that deserves to be recommended to me."

"Really outstanding. If you see his strength with your own eyes, you will think that he has a lot of prospects. ”

A lot of people know Di Natale because of his later performances at Udinese. In particular, he won the Serie A Golden Boot for two consecutive years at the age of 32 and 33. And at the age of 34 and 35, he still scored more than 20 goals in Serie A for two consecutive seasons. So compared to those players who became famous at a young age, Di Natale thinks that he is a late bloomer and an old demon.

But this is definitely not because Di Natale was poor in his youth. Like many late-blooming players, there is a characteristic, that is, Jishu was flawed when he was young.

Like Klose, the jishu under his feet when he was young was miserable. That ability to dribble with the ball is simply unbearable. When he was younger, he was really good for nothing but explosiveness, speed, and headers. He was able to achieve so much later, entirely because with the passage of time, he practiced jishu step by step.

Except for Klose. Drogba also has reasons for this. When I was young, I didn't have good basic skills, but when I arrived in the Premier League, the fast pace was very obvious. Stopping the ball is the most intuitive performance, Drogba's stop in the early days of the Premier League is even two meters away. This kind of stopping the ball jishu is completely lethal for the striker. Ruud van Nistelrooy was able to become the king of the small penalty area because of his excellent stoppage.

But Di Natale is not like them. Di Natale's pace, his fundamentals, his jishu, and even his shooting and passing are outstanding. It's just that at the moment he is still very young and seriously inexperienced. There is no problem with Jishu's ability.

The reason why Di Natale has not been able to play, apart from the fact that he is not an absolute genius, is because he has been playing in a small team for a long time. In fact, Di Natale became famous as early as around 2001 because of his performance in Empoli. He scored 16 goals in one season in Serie B and then 13 in his first season in Serie A with Empoli's promotion to Serie A.

Don't underestimate the fact that there are only a dozen goals. After all, Empoli is a small Italian team, and it is quite bullish to be able to score more than a dozen goals in a small team. At that time, there were not only one or two clubs interested in Di Natale, but even many Italian giants were attracted to him. It can also be seen that Di Natale is not a super genius though. But the strength is still considerable. In addition to the lack of strength in the club. At this time, Di Natale just lacked enough experience.

Such a player can play well in the Italian chain defence. There will be no problems in a sparse defense like the Netherlands. And Di Natale is a versatile player who can be a striker, a nine-and-a-half, and even a wide range of frontcourters.

If you take another example, it's Inzaghi, the ghost of the exclusion zone. Inzaghi was also a wanderer until he was twenty-three years old, mostly in the lower leagues. Even players who were outright abandoned by Parma. At that time, Inzaghi was not strong. Definitely not. It's just a matter of opportunity. As soon as there is an opportunity, it immediately bursts out with great strength. Inzaghi was lucky enough to make a name for himself in Atalanta, and then joined giants such as Juventus and Milan.

But Di Natale never had such luck in his life. He made a name for himself in Empoli. Then he entered Udinese and never left Udinese. Di Natale is the quintessential player whose strength is higher than his fame. If it weren't for the relationship between Lister and Eindhoven, and the close personal relationship between Lister and Arneson, Lister would never have cheapened Eindhoven in vain.

"Frank, it's not me bragging. Although Kezman is a talent from Serbia, his fame at this stage is far better than that of Di Natale. But I can guarantee that the future achievements will definitely not be as good as Di Natale's. ”

Arneson hesitated. Kezman was handed over to Arneson after a series of screenings by PSV Eindhoven's scouting system, and Arneson affirmed this. However, what Rist meant was that it was not cost-effective for PSV to bring in Kezman at a price of more than 10 million euros.

But looking for a nobody? Di Natale?

Although Arneson trusted Rist, Di Natale was too unknown. It's just a nobody, and although the player recommended by Rist before is not famous, he is not such a nobody.

After all, PSV Eindhoven is a Eredivisie giant, and Arneson still has a lot to think about. But at the thought of the collaboration between himself and Rist these days, Arneson was ready to think about it carefully. Arneson trusted Rist, so the scales slowly shifted in Rist's favor. After thinking for a while, he said, "Lister, I really trust you. In this way, Riester. Anyway, it's going to be a winter break soon, can you get him to PSV Eindhoven for a trial. Won't it be difficult? ”

Arneson spoke with some embarrassment. After all, the player was recommended by Lister, but Arneson wants to try out. Rist smiled, although PSV Eindhoven is in decline, it is still a Eredivisie giant after all. With a nobody like Di Natale signing with Arneson closed, it is still a little difficult.

"There was no problem. Frank, you'll thank me. ”

Rist knew that it was him, otherwise how could a nobody let Arneson open his mouth for a trial.

Di Natale has his own agent. Although Rist knew that Di Natale would succeed in the future, Rist did not do what he did to snatch Ruud van Nistelrooy. Actually, a lot of good players. Rist was able to find them all. Unfortunately, even if he knew, Rist couldn't make any moves.

Like Italian football, Portuguese football, Romanian football including Eastern Europe, and former Yugoslav national football, these places are famous for the xenophobic football in European football. Of course, the same is true in Czech football.

Just as Rist does not allow other shili in Czech football, especially foreign shili. There is an inherent shili in Italian football, and it may be that they themselves do not like each other. But once the outside Shili, especially a super agent like Riester, wants to invade Italian football, then they will definitely reject Lister.

Rist doesn't want to be in the same league with little Moji, and when the phone door comes out, maybe even Rist will be involved. But he also didn't want to clash with them. Therefore, the best way is not to get involved in Italian football and not to contradict local agents in Italy. Even if it seems like a small contradiction. Rist was also reluctant to explode. Rist wants to be a real broker. You can't be too strong and break the unspoken rules of football.

Because only if you can eat everywhere, can you become a broker predator. It is impossible for a broker who makes enemies everywhere to succeed. So Rist just kept watching.

Now with Eindhoven, Lister is ready to pry Di Natale. Di Natale's agent Rist has learned that the agent who can become Di Natale is only appointed by Empoli FC. And it's not a regular Di Natale agent. It was the agent who helped Di Natale with the loan in the first place. There was no fight for more Haode conditions for Di Natale. Because he wasn't much of a hopeful star in Empoli either.

And Di Natale doesn't have the strength to raise an agent at all now. His current salary at Empoli is only $70,000 a year. Even among the players in the Italian second division, the salary is relatively low.

"Eindhoven?"

Di Natale himself is not confident at the moment. After all, he has only just slowly played the main role in Empoli. Empoli is still a small team in the Italian second division. PSV Eindhoven are the star processors in the hearts of European powerhouses and giants, but they are still behemoths compared to teams like Empoli.

How could PSV Eindhoven take a fancy to himself? Di Natale didn't believe it. What did he do at Empoli, and he only played the main team at the end of the half season. The current number of goals is three. Last season, he played in Italy's fourth division, scoring 12 goals. But those performances shouldn't keep PSV Eindhoven interested in them. So he was really puzzled.

"Antonio, do you know who I am?"

"Of course I do. You are Lazio Nedved's agent. ”

By the time Lister introduced himself, Di Natale already knew. Although Rist did not enter Serie A football, Rister is now well-known in the agent world. Di Natale through his own agent, let's not be his own agent, he used to mention Rist with envy.

"I am very good friends with Managing Director Anesen of PSV Eindhoven and we have worked together many times. I might as well tell you that recently Eindhoven's goalscorer Ruud. Ruud van Nistelrooy is on the verge of a move to Manchester United. He will move next summer for a fee of more than 30 million euros. He's also my player, I took him from the Dutch second division to the first division and then he was brought from PSV Eindhoven to Manchester United. But because he's leaving, PSV Eindhoven has been looking for a replacement. I recommended you. ”

Rist first boasted, and then did not hide his credit. Doing good deeds without leaving a name, this kind of thing can only be left to those good people to do. Rist is an agent, a businessman in another sense. All he had to do was to maximize his interests, and he wanted to let Di Natale know that it wasn't PSV Eindhoven's scouts who spotted him, but recommended him himself.

"Mr. Cherny, would you recommend me? We don't seem to know each other? ”

Looking at Di Natale's timid words, Rist smiled and said, "Actually, I've been following you for a while. It's just that you know that I haven't been involved in Italian football, and I don't want to fight with local Italian agents. I know you have your own agent, but to be honest he is not a competent agent. If you are such a good player, if you are a competent agent, you should not be allowed to waste your talent like this. This time Arneson was looking for a striker, so I recommended you. I think you're outstanding, you've scored more than 20 goals in a season in the Eredivisie. ”

"Can I really?"

"Of course."

Rister gave Di Natale a very clear answer, and then said: "I have fifteen or sixteen strikers alone. There are a lot of good players among them, including Ruud van Nistelrooy, Jankoller from Valencia, who are my players. It's not that I can't recommend my players. But after thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable, so I recommend you. But Arneson and I have a good relationship, but he still wants to see the results of your tryout. He wants to confirm your strength. ”

Di Natale was completely stunned by the sudden news. He was not actually dissatisfied with Arneson's request for a tryout, but thought it should be. If you were to change yourself, you wouldn't even give it a tryout.

Looking at Di Natale's overwhelmed look, Rist smiled and said, "Antonio, I am a person who values his reputation very much. If you're not strong enough, I won't introduce you to Arneson. So don't have any worries, just play normally. How do you choose? ”

“xiexie，xiexie。”

Di Natale is reluctant to leave Italy, but he also cares about his career. Compared to wasting time in Empoli, Eindhoven is paradise. Therefore, he did not hesitate to choose to follow Rist to Eindhoven.

"As long as you're acting normally, Arneson is knowledgeable. If you believe me, I will definitely get you the most haode contract. ”

Di Natale was excited, but his mind was not disordered. Listening to Rister's words, he already understood what Rister meant. The consciousness of Lister's words is very simple, if Di Natale believes in himself, then Lister is willing to be Di Natale's agent.

Di Natale felt flattered. He doesn't know how good Rist is, but several of his players are well-known. Nedved, Poboski, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Jankoller and Jankoller were shocked by their names. Didn't expect the agent of these top players, Lister. Cherny volunteered to become his agent.

If you follow the usual script, you shouldn't be in a hurry to ask Rist to be your agent. However, Di Natale is still very smart, and the benefits of having a strong agent like Rist for his career are obvious.

"I would like to believe Mr. Cyrny." (To be continued......)
