184 The Emperor's New Clothes
"Fernando, you can rest assured at Atletico. I will help you solve all the off-field problems, don't worry about outside things in the future. ”
In Torres, there was a more headache with the contract, and Rist solved it in one or two clicks. Not only did he give Torres the most young contract in his age group, but Rist himself also got the benefits of Hill Sr.
Rist was really discovered. Old Hill was very fond of Torres, and his liking was completely overflowing. knew that Rist was using Torres to force the club, but the old Hill clearly showed his love for Torres in front of Rist. Rist sometimes thinks mentally that it must be because Raul's success has stimulated the elder Hill. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so nervous about Torres, who was not yet fifteen. In fact, Rist did not think about taking any advantage in this negotiation.
But during the negotiations, the elder Hill took the initiative to give Rist a benefit fee, and it should be said that he hoped that Rist would not abduct Torres. So he gave Rist $100,000 and asked for only one. It is important to keep Torres at Atletico, that is his only request.
Although for the president of the club, showing too much affection can have a detrimental effect on the future negotiations. It can even be said that in the next few years, Atletico Madrid and Rister will have the upper hand in the negotiations. But the elder Hill didn't care at all, just made it clear to Lister that he liked Torres very much. Torres must not leave Atletico.
“xiexie。”
"No thanks, it's my job. In the future, I will negotiate the most haode contract for you, and I will package you to become the banner of Atletico Madrid. And you have to haode training. Become Atletico's most Haode player. So that the two of us can each take what we need. ”
Rist patted Torres on the shoulder. Good things have come one after another these days, and Benitez has started to make a name for himself in Spanish football. Rist and Jose. After Federico's cooperation, the "Marca" newspaper began to see a new trend of public opinion. "Marca" is constantly touting Benitez, how to say that it is also a coach from Real Madrid.
Rafa Benitez has gradually been touted by Marca as the leader of the new generation of coaches, a talented young coach. Of course, a newspaper boast is not enough, and Rist is preparing to continue to increase his relationship with the media.
And then there's Torres. Torres was a real surprise, and a huge pie fell from the sky. Rist sometimes even thinks that he is really the protagonist, and such good things can happen to him.
"This is today's newspaper."
With the availability of players in all major European leagues, Lister has also set up an office in each country. It can also be regarded as a branch office. Spain and the Netherlands are currently two of Rist's most important strongholds. It is also the two leagues that have developed most smoothly in Lister. So, of course, I have my own office in Spain. During this time, he was busy manipulating Benitez's affairs and Torres's contract issues, so he did not have time to pay attention to other changes in European football.
Now that he had time, Rist was ready to read the newspaper and see what had happened lately. Starting with the French newspaper "Le Teams" to the German "Bild". Read on one by one. Rist is not the type of person who has to know everything. So a lot of it is to read the title. Just look at the main points and it's over. Rist only needs to know about some big things going on, and if he has to read them all carefully, he won't be able to read so many newspapers in a day.
Rist Zuihou is to open the "Milan Sports Newspaper". Italian football is at its most active right now. It is also the time when the burning of money is the worst. It's a pity that Riester never found a good opportunity to break into Italian football, because Rister doesn't have that many good players at his disposal. The current Italian league is still known as the "Little Shijie Cup", and all that is needed are very good players. It's a pity that Rist's current development is estimated to be at most to catch up with the tail of the "Little Shijie Cup".
Therefore, Lister is always zuihou before reading the news of Serie A. However, a news from the Milan Sports newspaper caught Rist's attention, with the headline "If you don't like it, you can leave." ”
The title is simple, but the content is shocking. It's a quote from Lippi, and Lippi is saying, "I want to say to Zeman, it's not right to be in the middle of it and attack the system." If he doesn't like it, he can leave. ”。
The contents of it surprised Rist even more. Rist didn't pay attention to how long it took to be in Italian football, and such a big thing happened in Italian football. Roma's head coach Zeman suddenly lashed out at Juventus for using banned drugs on players. also named Vialli and Piero for their abnormal muscle development, which caused an uproar, and Juventus immediately counterattacked.
Including Juventus's high-level Kiraudo, Juventus' head coach Lippi, and Juventus' player Vialli, these people have taken turns to criticize Zeman, believing that Zeman is completely out of nowhere. Even the entire Italian football world has attacked Zeman, and Zeman's situation in Italy has suddenly become very delicate.
Looking at this report, Lister was really speechless, and could only sigh and shake his head. Then I immediately booked a plane ticket and prepared to fly to Rome to meet Zeman, the head of the church.
…………
"Zdenek, you're really red now, red and purple."
When Rist arrives in Rome to meet Zeman, Rist doesn't notice any change in Zeman's mood. Rist and Zeman don't know each other very well, but they're not strangers to each other either. It was precisely because of Zeman's advocacy that Lazio spent a lot of money to bring in Nedved. And when Nedved was just starting out, he wasn't very comfortable in Serie A, and it was Zeman who insisted on ensuring his main position.
So Rist and Zeman still have some contact. The relationship can't be said to be very good, but it's not bad either. And after all, the two of them are Czech fellows, and the relationship is okay.
"You know that, too?"
Zeman said to Rist casually. If such a big thing happened, if it was someone else, it would have been impossible to sit still. But in Zeman's expression, Lister only noticed that he was a little tired, and did not notice anything else.
"I know what it means. You've made a big splash in Italian football, and now the Italian newspapers are covering it. Aren't you asking for trouble? ”
"I just can't get used to it."
Rist sighed, unashamed that Zeman was older than him. Stretched out his finger and pointed at Zeman, shook his head and said, "Zdenek, taking banned drugs is very common in Italian football. When you were in charge of Lazio, the Lazio players didn't take banned drugs, so I don't believe it. ”
It is common in Italian football to take banned drugs at this time, and it is not just Juventus. It's just that Juventus is taking banned drugs more seriously. And at this time, not to mention the Italian league, even many national teams have problems in this regard. Zeman did not offend the Juventus family, but stripped the clothes of the entire Italian football world.
"Zdenek, haven't you seen "The Emperor's New Clothes"? Not to mention that it is within Serie A, even many national teams take banned drugs. I'm not inside Italian football, but even then I know something. Not to mention in Italy, it's an almost open secret. You can tell me which of the strong teams in Serie A has not taken banned drugs, if you check them all, it is estimated that there is no clean club in Serie A. You uncover him, you ......"
Taking banned drugs, manipulating referees, playing tacit balls, and political shili underworld shili are mixed in, and there are many such shady scenes in Italian football. Liliang in all aspects of politics and economics is tilted within Italian football, and it can be said that Serie A has the most shady scenes among the major European leagues. But basically no one inside knows about these things, but no one says it.
But Zeman was the first to jump out and uncover this shady curtain. Anyone who wants to be a fighter will be a victim. When the fighters are dead, I really want to reveal it. And the fighter does not enjoy the joy of success.
That's what Zeman is. It's only September 1998, and it's still a long time before "Phonegate", which subverts the entire Serie A Shili. This period has been dominated by Milan and Juventus, and Zeman has almost no room for survival in Italy.
"There's always someone who wants to be the first to do it."
Zeman is not a stupid person, he already understands the seriousness of the matter. But he didn't regret it at all, and he still stubbornly believed that he had done the right thing. And he doesn't intend to bow his head and admit his mistakes, on the contrary, he wants to continue fighting.
"Zdenek, give you a word of advice, let's get out of Rome quickly. It's good for you and good for Rome. Italy, from the Football Association to the clubs, will continue to target you, against Roma, where you are coaching. ”
Rist knows a thing. Under pressure from Italian football, Roma can only sack Zeman. If it is not fired, Rome will not be able to withstand it. Because of the various penalties that were unfavorable to Roma one after another, Sensi, the anti-Juventus pioneer Zuihou, couldn't bear it. One can imagine how Zeman and Roma will be treated in the coming months.
"After this incident, you can't stay in Italian football. It's better to make a decision early. ”
Zeman thought for a moment and shrugged. Billist was much more serious when he first came in, and Zuihou said, "I can't just leave." I'm going to see what they can do to me, I'm just going to consume them here. ”
Rist shook his head, Zeman, stubborn donkey. However, Rist knew that Zeman would soon be sacked by Roma, and it was a pity for Zeman's situation, but at the same time, other ideas came to him. Maybe Zeman's encounter this time is a good thing for Lister.
"Zdenek, you're ....... But don't be too reluctant, if you really can't stand it, don't be hard to consume. Italian football doesn't want you, you have a place to go. (To be continued......)
