274 Past Promises
"Rist, I've been busy lately."
Ramos and Benitez are completely different types of coaches. Rafa Benitez puts a lot of emphasis on midfield, but also on defence. So looking at Benitez's team's game, the midfield is completely muddy. He is very competitive in the middle of the game, and he attacks the ball quickly rather than cumbersomely. But Ramos is different. Ramos is a coach who attaches great importance to attacking from the wings, and his favorite way to use is to attack on the wings and grab points in the middle. Wide players are very much valued in his hands. Ramos is more passionate than Benitez and has a more likable style of play. But again, there is no stability of Benitez.
Joaquín met Bole. Joaquín was a little inconsistent at the beginning because it was his first time playing La Liga, but he met Ramos, who liked the wide player the most. After half a season of adaptation, the performance in Extremadura is getting better and better. And what makes Joaquín happiest is that Joaquín is a player who is very good at crossing. In the club, there are high school strikers like Lokwentz, and Baptista, who is very good at the back. So his stats are getting better and better.
Watching Joaquín's outstanding performance in Extremadura, Rist was very happy in his heart. Because Rist knew that Joaquin would be able to give Rist enough profits. However, Rist did not stay in Extremadura for long, and left after just one game. Because Francisco. Royg Jorist plays golf.
Rist is also very well-connected in Spanish football, but the most cooperative is Francisco. Royg. Even the personal friendship between the two is good. Over the years, as long as Lister was in Spain, he would meet and chat with him every time.
"It's ok. You also know that it is too difficult to make money in this world now. ”
"Poof—"
Francisco hears Rist's words. I squirted out the coffee I had just drunk. Then he looked at Rist funny and said, "Rist, don't go out and say this." Maybe a bunch of people are waiting to hammer you to death. I'm sure if you say that in Valencia, you won't be able to get out of Valencia. ”
Francisco shook his head, then asked with a smile: "You said that you are a football agent, and your income this year is 30 million euros, to say the least." Now if you look at the Spanish economy, it's nice that the big companies don't lose money. Even our family company is not profitable now. Or is it easiest for you to make money. ”
Rist smiled and didn't answer. In fact, Rist's income this year is much higher than that of Francisco. Royger's estimate also exceeded the predictions of many insiders. If you add this winter's transfer, Rist will earn more than 60 million euros this year. Lister went dormant for several years. After the foundation is laid, this year is considered a year of total outbreak.
"If you say it's hard to make money. Then those agents in European football have to hang themselves. It is estimated that 90% of European football, which should be 95% of the agent's income in a lifetime, is not as good as your income in a year. ”
"Exaggeration." Rist waved his hand, and then said, "They only saw my income this year, not how I laid the foundation in the first five years." ”
Francisco. Roig shook his head. Rist's income for the year. It should be said that the profit can even be compared with some large enterprises. With the rise of Riester. Francisco. Roig even believes in the future of European football. Rist must be the figure who can surpass Figer.
"Lister, next year is the general election for the Valencia presidency."
Speaking of this Francisco. Royg's expression was serious. For Francisco. For Royg, it has always been a problem for him to step down because of Mijatovic's affairs. Their family has been Valencia fans for 100 years. He was also a Valencia fan since childhood. The position of the Valencia president is a volunteer, and there is no salary. And in terms of Valencia's fame, it is not as good as Real Madrid. For example, Florentino used the position of president of Real Madrid to spread his influence and made his company the largest construction company in Europe. But Valencia does not have that kind of influence, and Valencia's influence is largely limited to Valencia itself.
In terms of the position of the Roig family in Valencia, there is no need to use the position of Valencia president to increase their popularity. He was eyeing the position of Valencia president because he was not convinced.
"You're ready."
Rist also regained his serious expression. Rist actually hates the Spanish kind of membership, or the kind of board like Valencia. Because every few years they elect a new chairman, a new chairman, a new policy. Basically, when any chairman goes up, there will be big changes. This style that changes every year and every few years is very harmful to the club.
Valencia is in a very good situation right now. If Valencia is a club with only one major shareholder, it will be able to be brilliant for many years according to the current development of Valencia. But because the board of directors is unable to reach a consensus, the chairman election is bound to destabilize the club.
"Yes."
Francisco. Roig nodded. He is the eldest of the Royg family and a representative of the Roig family. Although he has not been able to take the initiative in Valencia in recent years, his influence in Valencia is still very large. He is going to run in the general election and is still the strongest candidate. There are not a few people on the board who support him, and he can completely contend with Soler.
Rist sighed slightly. Lister knows Francisco. Roig found his own meaning today. Rist and Francisco. It took Roig's cooperation to make Benitez the head coach of Valencia. At that time Rist gave Francisco. Roig promised to support him. Now is the time to deliver on that promise.
"Francisco, what do you think?"
Truth be told, Rist is reluctant to get involved in the fight within the club. After all, Rist is an agent, and if he gets too involved in the club's battles, it will not have a good impact on Rist himself. In the future, many clubs may avoid Lister because of this matter. And now Benitez is the manager of Valencia, and next year's general election will be the stage of Valencia's sprint. Rist knows that as long as he falls into it, then Benitez will not be able to avoid it, and when the time comes, he may be able to affect Benitez and Valencia's results. That's why Rist hates this kind of election.
But this time around, Rist was unavoidable. Integrity, sometimes this thing is a must. Rist promised Francisco a year and a half ago. Roig was able to trade for Rafa Benitez as Valencia's head coach. Until now, Lister could not cross the river and tear down the bridge.
"I'm done talking about the people I can talk about. Some neutral shareholders, I need your help. ”
Reesette nodded.
"Francisco, I know what you mean. Rest assured, I will be there when you need me. ”
Lister gave Francisco. Royg had a very clear answer. As long as Rister supports Roig on behalf of Benitez and the players in the team who are related to Rister, it will be a big signal for those neutral shareholders. None of the neutral shareholders want the club to be too volatile and affect their interests. When the time comes, for the sake of stability, Roig will be selected for the sake of stability. Although he said it very happily, Lister secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, what should come is still coming.
and Francisco. It was Otti who was vying for the chairmanship. However, Otti is the representative of Soler, in other words, the fight between Roig and Soler. During this year and a half, the relationship between Rist and Valencia's Otti was very good. Otti is the de facto president of Valencia now, and Rist has always maintained a close friendship with him. And the cooperation between the two is also very good, if possible, Lister really doesn't want to turn against him. But once he explicitly supported Francisco . Royg, then the two of them will not be able to walk together in the future.
Rist wasn't in a very good mood when he went back. If Rist were given a rational choice, Rist would definitely choose to support Ottie. Because Ottie is a good person, and more importantly, there is enough trust between Otti and Rist. Coupled with Valencia's good results in the past two years, Otti has a high prestige at the moment. But Rist didn't have much of a choice, and who made Otti represent Soler.
"What's the matter, Riester."
Ever since Pellegrini met Rist, Rist has been confident and doesn't seem to care too much about anything. But when I saw Rist today, I was preoccupied.
"Nothing. Do you say that integrity is important, or is interest important? ”
Pellegrini was stunned, not knowing what it meant. However, Pellegrini thought about it and replied: "Integrity is important. ”
Rist looked up at Pellegrini, who wanted to show himself that he was a humble gentleman. Seeing Lister's gaze, Pellegrini said calmly: "If it is some small brokers, I believe that interests are very important. But you are a powerful broker, and the loss of short-term profits will not affect you. But I believe that if you lose your integrity, then you will lose your future benefits. ”
Hearing Pellegrini's words, Lister smiled slightly. Things are already like this anyway, and Lister has no choice. So he nodded and said, "Manuel, you're right. You may lose a little money or other things, but word of mouth is the most important thing. What was promised should be done. ”
Pellegrini didn't ask what the hell was going on. Because he knew that Rist had already made up his mind. So it immediately shifted to other topics.
When the decision was made, Rist was also relieved. Since it was a necessary choice, Rist had to strongly support Royger. Be sure to get Francisco. Roig became Valencia's president, otherwise Rister and Benitez, as well as Lister's players, would not be able to gain a foothold in Valencia from next summer. All of them are going to get out. That can't be the case with Rist. (To be continued......)
