"Mr. Cyrny, we are very sincere."

"I understand, Mr. Dolan."

Rist is a nostalgic person. Rist has been working with Puma and Nike over the years. Because Puma was the first to cooperate with Rist, after Rister developed, he didn't think about abandoning Puma and then hooking up with Nike and Adidas. At present, the players from the Czech Republic, Riester are all cooperating with Puma.

Many players in the Czech league, as long as Puma is interested, Lister will cooperate with Puma. Of course, PUMA's development in recent years has also been very rapid, with the Czech national team winning the World Cup and the European Championship in a row, PUMA has become the fastest growing company among the world's sports brands. It has truly become the third largest brand in the world, only behind Nike and Adidas. Even when analyzing, many people think that if Puma maintains its current development, Puma will even be able to go hand in hand with Nike and Adidas in a few years, which shows how rapid Puma's development has been in recent years.

The other is Nike. Lister and Nike have also cooperated for a long time, and several giants related to Lister are also partners of Nike. Including Barcelona, PSV Eindhoven, and Manchester United are all sponsors of Nike. As a result, many of Lister's talented players have worked with Nike. Including Messi and Ribery, whom Lister admires the most, they all cooperate with Nike.

But Nike was too stingy. That's all Rist can say. Messi is now in such a market, and it is very normal for Rist to want to raise some sponsorship fees. Now Nike sponsors Messi for 260,000 euros a year, and Messi will be able to get about 200,000 euros a year after paying taxes. It is completely inconsistent with the current identity of Messi.

Rist wants Nike to raise Messi's sponsorship fee. At the very least, it should be more than one million euros. When Nedved and Poboski left the Czech Republic, Puma gave them hundreds of thousands of euros in sponsorship fees. But it's different now, it's normal for many top players to spend millions of euros on sponsorships, and superstars like Zidane get nearly nine million euros a year from Adidas, which is much higher than his salary at Real Madrid.

But Nike is too stingy and is only willing to give Messi 600,000 euros a year. This made Lister furious, and 600,000 euros was also money. His grandmother's, Nike really thinks he is the boss, and Rist has to beg him. Nike is still not as good as Adidas in football, but he has always considered himself the world's number one sports brand. There's a feeling of being on top. There is no Adidas expert in football either. Anyway, Rist was really angry. Nike just went too far.

An agent like Rist can't compare with a giant like Nike, which has sales of more than 10 billion and total assets of more than 10 billion. But Rist is also the world's top agent, and the number of good players under his hands is already the most in world football. Nike doesn't give face like this. Let Rist be furious. Immediately terminated the negotiations with Nike.

The negotiations between Rist and Nike did not go very well. Adidas came over here. Adidas has also been paying attention to Messi. After all, Adidas is a sponsor of Argentina, and the talents that came out of Argentina are on their radar.

Aubory. Dolan, this is the senior product manager of the football department at Adidas. He came to Rist. It's for Messi. In terms of football, Adidas is stronger than Nike, after all. However, Rist did not completely give up on Nike, after all, Rist and Nike have been working together for many years, and if possible, of course, they hope to continue to cooperate. So I met with the people of Adidas in public and showed it to Nike, so as to force them to back down. This is the final match of the World Junior Championships, which is the venue for the World Junior Championship finals.

"Zabaleta, cross!"

"Messi, stop the ball. Messi breaks through, Taiwo tackles! Penalties, it's penalties. ”

When Argentina attacked, it relied on Gago's scheduling, Zabaleta's breakthrough on the wing, and Messi's personal ability in the front. This time too, Gago played the ball down the right and Zabaleta broke through with the ball and then crossed.

Messi is short and can't possibly get the ball in front of the Nigerian defender. So Zabaleta's cross was not for Messi to top the ball, but to the outside of the box. Messi stopped the ball beautifully, and then turned around and broke into the box. This breakthrough of Messi is the sharpest. In addition, Nigeria is an African country, and their players are already poor in tactical discipline. And this is still the national youth team, so the Nigerian national youth team has a lot of defensive problems.

Taiwo is Nigeria's left-back and is the best left-back at this World Junior Championship. Messi came from the left to the middle, and the break in the middle was from Taiwo's side. Taiwo is very strong, but Messi, the player who has played in the Champions League, is stronger, and it is already in the past in a few steps. The twenty-year-old Taiwo is young after all, he has not become a main player in Marseille and has much less experience. In a hurry, he made a tackle and directly put Messi down.

"Penalty, penalty. Taiwo was in too much of a hurry, but it was also because Messi's breakthrough was too sharp. ”

"Messi stood in front of the ball and it looked like Messi took the penalty."

"Messi, shoot!"

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"Messi! Messi! Messi! Once again we saw Messi score, Messi created a penalty himself, scored it himself. One to zero, one to zero. Messi scored the goal to break the deadlock. ”

"It was Messi's sixth goal at this World Youth Championship. Messi's form is too hot for anyone to stop Messi. Nigeria surpassed Argentina in possession, but were still inferior to Argentina in the fatal blow. If Nigeria had a player like Messi, Nigeria would have taken a 3-0 lead over Argentina long ago. That's where Messi comes in. ”

"The newspaper said that Messi was Maradona's successor, and that Messi was a genius that Argentina once in 50 years. I would say that these are not overly praised, Messi is indeed the top talent of this World Youth Championship. ”

The commentator is raving about Messi. But Messi is really good. Not an average outstanding. Nigeria had the upper hand in this game, and Nigeria's core Mikel performed too well.

Gago's performance in this World Youth Championships is very good, and he really has the demeanor of a general. However, compared with today's Nigerian midfield core Mikel, it is much inferior. Mikel has good technique and good passing. And he is even taller, and the Argentine players can't compare to him physically, that is, they can't hit him. Mikel is very similar to Zinedine Zidane, with skill and physicality, and he simply doesn't concede goals in the front court.

If you see the current Mikel, everyone will definitely think that Mikel is the future Zidane. No one can imagine Mikel becoming a defensive midfielder in the future. He will be a defender who has not scored for several seasons. Mikel is just too good right now. Although Messi shined in this game, even Messi couldn't hide the sparkle in Mikel.

Rist could only sigh as he watched Mikel's performance. It's no wonder that Chelsea and Manchester United fought to the death for Mikel, who eventually spent more than 20 million euros to take. Mikel is only nineteen years old.

Under Mikel's leadership, Nigeria have had 60 per cent possession over a period of time. It's just that Nigeria lacks a lethal attack. Especially the lack of a dagger like Messi. Only Mikel's performance. Argentina cannot really be destroyed. If Nigeria has a good forward player. There is no need for Messi, as long as there is a genius like Aguero, then Argentina would have been wiped out by Nigeria long ago.

"Mr. Czerny. We take Messi very seriously. Our company is willing to take full responsibility for the rest of his contract with Nike. And he is willing to give Messi a sponsorship of 1.5 million euros a year. ”

Adidas really made a bloody investment. Adidas is a true sports brand, especially in football. His Nguyen Sang brother Puma is not comparable, and Nike, the world's number one sports brand, is no match for him in football. It's just that Puma has developed too strongly in recent years, and Nike is competing with Adidas in football.

In order to secure its place in football, Adidas searched everywhere for a target. At present, the stars who have become famous have been divided among several brands, so everyone is aiming for talented stars. Needless to say, Messi is the best star in his age group at the moment.

"Mr. Dolan, I already understand what your company means. Can you give me time to think about it? ”

For Adidas' conditions, Lister is relatively satisfied. Messi is only eighteen years old now, and being able to get a sponsorship of 1.5 million euros is already the best for Messi. But Rist still wants to wait, wait for Nike to know what he will think when he meets the people of Adidas.

As long as Nike can give the same conditions as Adidas, Lister will not abandon Nike. How can I say that the cooperation between Lister and Nike for so many years is not bad, and Lister gets a lot of benefits from Nike every year. Rist's players currently receive more than 15 million euros a year in sponsorship fees from Nike.

Of course, if Nike really doesn't give face and is unwilling to raise sponsorship fees, then Rist is not a pedantic person. Nike can't, there's Adidas. Adidas can't, and Puma. As long as you master Messi, which one to pick is not to see who has the highest money.

"Okay. Mr. Cherny, I have always believed that buying and selling does not lead to benevolence. I'm sure there must be a lot of things we can work together with. ”

Aubory. Dolan is smart. He, as a senior executive of Adidas, grabbed good players from Nike, and that was his achievement. Nike and Adidas have been competing for world superstars in the past two years, and the competition has been very fierce. Even in order to compete for the sponsorship of the world's strongest teams, it is a bloody fight.

Rist is the number one agent in European football, and he has one good player after another. Not only has superstars like Nedved, but also has Rosicky, Joaquin, Vicente, Villa, a group of stars in their playing years, and there is no shortage of talents like Messi, Torres, and Ribery. Hence the Obori. Dolan wants to maintain a friendly relationship with Rist.

Aubory. Although Dolan is a high-level member of Adidas, if he wants to stabilize himself in Adidas, he must need the help of someone like Riester. Even if Messi's affairs don't work out, he wants to maintain a good relationship with Lister.

"Cardoso, give the ball to Messi on the left. Messi cuts in, shoots! ”

Nigeria still has more possession, while Argentina has a sharp counter-attack. This time too, Cardoso received a pass from Gago and did not break through directly but handed it to Messi on the left. Messi broke through from the left and suddenly chose to cut inside and fired a long-range shot directly near the penalty area.

About twenty-three meters from the goal, Messi's long-range shot is not a strong point, but it is definitely not a weak point either. Messi's long-range shooting skills are reasonable, this time it was a sudden victory, which caught the Nigerian goalkeeper off guard.

"Seven balls, seven balls. This is Messi's seventh goal of this World Youth Championship, and Messi is the brightest superstar of this World Youth Championship. 2-0, Argentina is about to win the World Youth Championship again. (To be continued......)
