Legendary Broker

"Antonio Di Natale?"

Arnesen had never heard of the name.Currently, there are many outstanding young players in Italy, including Totti and Del Piero, who are among the most talented players in European football.Even Pirlo, who is currently very unhappy, is recognized as a genius in Italian football and is Baggio's successor.In addition to these top talents, Italy has many talents that can be counted.But Arnesen knew that the name Di Natale was not among these people.

Arnesen has always been in Dutch football, but he still knows a lot about European football.Knows a lot even about young players in Italian football.That's why he is even more unfamiliar with Di Natale.

"What kind of player is he worthy of your recommendation to me?"

"Really outstanding. If you see his quality first-hand, you think he has a future."

Many people know Di Natale because of his later performance in Udinese.In particular, he won the Serie A Golden Boot for two consecutive years at the age of 32 and 33.Moreover, at the age of 34 and 35, he still scored more than [-] 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 monster.

But this is definitely not because of Di Natale's poor strength when he was young.Many late bloomers have a characteristic, that is, their skills were flawed when they were young.

Like Klose, the skills at his feet when he was young are horrible.That kind of dribbling ability is simply unbearable.When he was young, he was really nothing but explosive power, speed, and header.He was able to achieve such a great achievement later on, entirely because he practiced his skills step by step as time went by.

Except Klose.Drogba also has reasons for this.When I was young, my basic skills were not good enough, but it is very obvious in the fast pace of the Premier League.Stopping the ball is the most intuitive performance. Drogba's stopping the ball in the early stages of the Premier League was even two meters away.This technique of stopping the ball is completely fatal for a striker.Van Nistelrooy was able to become the king of the small penalty area because of his excellent ball-stopping skills.

But Di Natale is different from them.Di Natale's speed, his basic skills, his technique, even his shooting and passing are all excellent.It's just that he is still very young at present, and he is seriously lacking in experience.There is no problem with technical 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 played in small teams for a long time.In fact, Di Natale became famous as early as 2001 because of his performance in Empoli.He scored sixteen goals in a season in the Italian Serie B, and then scored thirteen goals in his first season in Serie A as Empoli was promoted 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 arrogant to score more than a dozen goals in a small team.At that time, not one or two clubs were interested in Di Natale, and even many Italian giants were tempted by him.It can also be seen that although Di Natale is not a super genius.But the strength is still considerable.In addition to the lack of strength of the club.At this time, Di Natale just lacked enough experience.

Such a player can handle the Italian chain defense with ease.In the loose defense of the Netherlands, there will be no problems.Moreover, Di Natale is an all-around frontcourt player who can be a striker, can also become a nine and a half, and can even run to the wing.

If there is another example, it is Inzaghi, the ghost of the penalty area.Inzaghi was also wandering around before the age of 23, basically wandering in the low-level leagues.Even players who were directly abandoned by Parma.At that time, Inzaghi was not strong.Absolutely not.It's just a matter of chance.Once there is an opportunity, it immediately explodes with great strength.Inzaghi was lucky and became famous in Atlanta, and then joined giants such as Juventus and Milan.

But Di Natale has never had such luck in his life.He became famous in Empoli.Then entered Udinese, never left Udinese.Di Natale is a typical player whose strength is higher than fame.If it weren't for the relationship between Rist and Eindhoven, and the close personal friendship between Rist and Arnesen, Rister would never have cheapened Eindhoven in this way.

"Frank, I'm not bragging. Although Kežman is a genius from Serbia, his reputation at this stage is far better than that of Di Natale. But I can guarantee that Kežman's future achievements will never be comparable to Di Natale's. "

Arneson hesitated in his heart.Kežman was handed over to Arnesen after a series of screening by the PSV scouting system, and Arnesen also affirmed this.But he also understands what Rist means. It is really not cost-effective for Eindhoven to introduce Kežman at a price of more than [-] million euros.

But looking for a nobody?Di Natale?

Although Arnesen trusted Rist very much, Di Natale was too unknown.They are simply unknown. Although the players recommended by Rist before are not famous, they are not such unknown persons.

After all, Eindhoven is a giant in the Eredivisie, and Arnesen still has a lot to consider.But thinking of the cooperation between himself and Rist these days, Arnesen is ready to think carefully about this issue.Arnesen trusts Rist very much, so the balance slowly moves to Rist.After thinking for a while, he said: "Rist, I really trust you. So, Rist. Anyway, it will be the winter break soon, can you let him go to Eindhoven for trial training. Will it be difficult? "

Arneson spoke with some embarrassment.After all, this player was recommended by Riester, but Arnesen hoped to have a trial training.Rist smiled. Although Eindhoven has declined, they are still a giant in the Eredivisie after all.For an unknown pawn like Di Natale, it is still difficult for Arnesen to sign with his eyes closed.

"No problem. Frank, you'll thank me."

Rist knew that it was him, otherwise how could an unknown person make Arnesen open for trial training.

Di Natale has his own agent.Although Rist knew that Di Natale would succeed in the future, Rist did not act like stealing Van Nistelrooy.In fact, many excellent players.Rist can find it.It's a pity that even if he knew, Rist couldn't do any actions.

Such places as Italian football, Portuguese football, Romanian football including Eastern Europe, and the former Yugoslavian national football, these places are well-known xenophobic football in European football.Of course, Czech football also belongs to the same situation.

Just like Rist does not allow other forces, especially foreign forces, to appear in Czech football.Italian football has inherent forces, and they may not like each other among themselves.But once foreign forces, especially super agents like Rist want to invade Italian football, they will definitely reject Rist.

Rist is not willing to join forces with little Moji and the others. When the phone door comes out, maybe even Rist will be involved.But he also didn't want to conflict with them.So the best way is not to get involved in Italian football, and not to have conflicts with Italian local agents.Even if it seems like a small contradiction.Rist is also unwilling to burst out.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 well everywhere, can you become a broker predator.A broker who makes enemies everywhere is unlikely to succeed.So Rist just kept paying attention.

Now with Eindhoven Riester ready to pry Di Natale.Di Natale's agent, Rist, has learned that being able to become Di Natale's agent is only appointed by the Empoli club.And it's not a regular Di Natale agent.It was the agent who helped Di Natale on the lease.Did not fight for better conditions for Di Natale.Because he is not a star of hope in Empoli.

And Di Natale simply doesn't have the strength to support a broker now.His current annual salary at Empoli is only $[-].Even among the players in the Italian second division, the salary is relatively low.

"Eindhoven?"

Di Natale himself is currently very unconfident.After all, he has just slowly become the main player in Empoli.Empoli is still a small team in the Italian Serie B.Eindhoven is a star processing factory in the hearts of European teams and giants, but it is still a giant compared to a team like Empoli.

How could PSV see themselves?Di Natale couldn't believe it.How did I perform in Empoli? I didn't become the main player until the end of the half-season.The current number of goals is only three.He even played in the Italian fourth-tier league last season and scored twelve goals.But these performances should not make PSV interested in him.So he was really puzzled.

"Antonio, do you know who I am?"

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

When Rist introduced himself, Di Natale already knew.Although Rist did not enter Serie A football, Rist is now considered a minor celebrity in the agent world.Di Natale passed his agent, let's just call it his own agent. He mentioned Rist enviously before.

"I am very good friends with Eindhoven's general manager Arnesen. The two of us have worked together many times. I might as well tell you that recently Eindhoven's striker Ruud van Nistelroo Yi is about to transfer to Manchester United. He will transfer next summer, and the transfer fee will exceed 3000 million euros. He is also my player. I brought him from the Dutch second division to the first division, and then brought him in Joined Manchester United from PSV. But because he is leaving, PSV have been looking for a replacement. I recommend 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 reserved for those good people.Rist is a broker, and from another perspective, he is a businessman.What he has to do is to maximize the benefits. He needs to let Di Natale know that it was not Eindhoven's scouts who discovered him this time, but recommended him himself.

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

Seeing Di Natale's timid words, Rist smiled and said: "Actually, I have been following you for a while. But you also know that I have never been involved in Italian football, and I don't want to compete with local Italian agents. Eat. 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 let you waste your talent like this. This time Arnesen was looking for a striker and I recommended you. I think you are very good, you can score more than [-] goals a season in the Eredivisie."

"Can I really?"

"of course."

Rist gave Di Natale a very clear answer, and then said: "I have at least fifteen or six forward players. There are many outstanding players, including Ruud van Nistelrooy and Valencia's Jan Koller. They are all my players. It is not that I cannot recommend my players. But after thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable, so I recommend you. However, although Arnesen and I have a good friendship, he still hopes to see you try The results of the training. He wants to confirm your strength."

Di Natale was completely stunned by the sudden news.He was not actually dissatisfied with Arnesen's request for trial training, but thought it should be done.If it were me, I wouldn't even give him a chance to try out.

Seeing Di Natale's bewildered look, Rist smiled and said: "Antonio, I am a person who attaches great importance to my reputation. If you are not strong enough, I will not introduce you to Arnesen. So don't have any worries, just play normally. How do you choose?"

"thanks, thanks."

Di Natale is reluctant to leave Italy, but he also cares about his career.Compared to wasting time at Empoli, Eindhoven is heaven.Therefore, he chose to go to Eindhoven with Riester without hesitation.

"As long as you perform normally, Arnesen knows the goods. If you believe in me, I will definitely fight for the best contract for you."

Di Natale is very excited, but the thinking is not disordered.Listening to what Rist said, he already understood what Rist meant.The meaning of Rist's last sentence is very simple. If Di Natale believes in himself, then Rist is willing to act as Di Natale's agent.

Di Natale feels flattered.He doesn't know how good Rist is, but several of his players are well-known.The names of Nedved, Poborski, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Jan Koller can shock people.Unexpectedly, the agent of these top players, Riester Czerny, offered to become his agent.

According to the usual script, he shouldn't be rushing to ask Rist to be his agent.However, Di Natale is still very smart. Having a strong agent like Rist is beneficial to his career.

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