Legendary Broker

"Rist, how are you thinking?"

Rist looked down on Venables, and Pini Zahavi didn't like him very much either.However, Pini Zahavi and Venables have known each other for a long time, so they have a personal friendship.And Venables has never been stingy with his collaborators, so there will be communication.But this time, his more reason was to get to know Rist.Therefore, after the two separated, they quickly got together again in a very tacit understanding.

"To Ukraine? Isn't there any unrest there?"

Both of them are big players in European football. They just met, so let's talk about player transfers first.This can quickly close the relationship.Zahavi is an Israeli super agent, and his biggest advantage is that he has a very wide network of contacts.Zahavi talks to Rist about Sparta Prague centre-back Xubuschmann.He hopes to allow Czech players to play in Ukraine.

"It's not as dangerous as I thought."

Rist thought about it.Czech players used to go to the Bundesliga to play, but because Riester has not paid attention to the Czech players to the Bundesliga.So now Czech players play more in the Eredivisie.Riester now also wants to broaden the channels for Czech players to go abroad.If Czech players can really enter the Ukrainian league to play, it is also a big business.

"Pini, let me think about it. After all, there is no precedent for our Czech players to play in Ukraine. Not only I have concerns, but my players also have concerns."

"understand."

Pini Zahavi talked about this issue, just like Rist, to expand the scope of business.For brokers like Pini Zahavi and Rist.The transfer of one or two people does not require such serious negotiations between two people.Once the two people really unite, maybe there will be frequent flow between Ukrainian players and Czech players. Once there is frequent flow between them, the commission between the two will be very large.

"Pini, I heard that you have a lot of contacts in Russia and Ukraine, the former Soviet Union countries. How is the football development there?"

Pini Zahavi thought for a moment and said, "There are a lot of rich people there, and there are a lot of people who are willing to invest in football."

Pini Zahavi is not the type to talk.Those who can say one sentence will never say two words.Rist knows that Zahavi now has a good relationship with many wealthy people in Russia.Of course, this also has something to do with his being Jewish.Born in Israel, he has a good relationship with Israeli media tycoons, and the top richest people in Russia are basically Jews.With these natural connections, he has a very good relationship with those rich Russians.

And Russian clubs and Ukrainian clubs have started to spend a lot of money, but many people have not discovered it yet.Tymoshchuk was the No. 19 midfielder in Eastern Europe who later played soy sauce in Bayern.A player who reached his peak at Zenit.When he was 1998 years old.That is, in 200, the transfer to Shakhtar Donetsk was worth as much as [-] million euros.You can see the generosity of the Ukrainian club.

"Pini, I want to introduce players from Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus to some clubs. It shouldn't be a big problem for you."

Speaking of which, the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe have dealt a great blow to their sports.To give a simple example, the football level of the former Soviet Union was very high, but with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, their performance immediately fell into a trough.Of course, everyone's understanding of the Soviet Union is insufficient.Then the most regrettable thing is Yugoslav football.

Look at the football level of Serbia, Serbia and Montenegro, and Croatia.If Yugoslavia is still there.Then Yugoslav football can completely compete with any strong team in continental Europe.It's just that Riester has never been able to set foot in the countries of the former Soviet Union.Because I was too worried.The social security there is too bad.According to statistics some time ago, the Russian gang has become the largest gang organization in the world, surpassing the Italian mafia.Riester would not dare to set foot in such a country without connections.If one day they were shot and collapsed by their gangsters.That is really no reason to find a place.

"Of course. Why is there a player you like?"

Rister nodded.There is no shortage of good players like them, and the quality of Russian players is still good.If you can really rely on Zahavi's contacts, it is a good business to introduce several outstanding players.Like the future Tsar Arshavin, he is just now playing professional football.If it is introduced through Zahavi's relationship, it is still a very good deal.

"By the way, Rist. Stretford is very upset with you. Be careful."

Zahavi spoke in a very relaxed tone, but Rist frowned.Because Zahavi said that Stretford is currently the number one agent in English football.It is undoubtedly No.1.At present, there are nearly 200 people in English football who have a broker license, and there are hundreds of people who do not have a broker license.However, among these people, Stretford is No. 1 in English football regardless of his connections, the number of players he has, and the number of coaches he has.

How powerful he is, needless to say other aspects.Simply put, the list of shareholders of the proactive sports management company founded by Stretford scared a lot of people to death.Bobby Robson, Souness, Martin O'Neill, John Gregory, Peter Reed, Craig Brown, Coppel, Wilkinson, Kevin Keegan, Allardyce.

Look at these coaches, they are all famous figures in England.They are all shareholders of Stretford Sports Management, which means they have an interest in him.When many players transfer, it is almost equivalent to switching from right hand to left hand, earning a lot of commission in the middle.He has been involved in several black gold scandals in England, but no one can do anything to him.Even the FA can't do anything to him.In English football, no one can compare with him in strength.

Like Ferguson Jr. and Jerome Anderson, they all do business with the back of a club, and they don't show off like Stretford.Stretford has a close relationship in English football and controls half of the resources in English football.

Speaking of which, Rist and this person have never met face to face, but he has already offended this person.Thinking of this person, Rist can only think of Li Dazui's words in "Wulin Biography": If you offend me, you offend my uncle; if you offend my uncle, you offend the court.

That was the case with Rist.Because Ruud van Nistelrooy moved to Manchester United, he quickly gained the trust of Ferguson, and now he has become Manchester United's top scorer.The original Manchester United top scorer Andy Cole's playing time has been reduced a lot this season, and he has been completely reduced to a substitute player.This is what offended Stretford, because Andy Cole is the most famous player under Stretford.

It can be said that Rist offended the number one agent in England for no reason.To put it simply, Van Nistelrooy suppressed Andy Cole, and offended Andy Cole; offended Andy Cole, offended Stretford; offended Stretford, was Offended nearly half of the head coaches in the Premier League.The Premier League is different from other leagues. The head coach can compete with the club's general manager in the club, and has a great say in the field of competition.

The boss at Manchester United is Ferguson, he likes Ruud van Nistelrooy.Although Stretford is the number one agent in English football, he dared not do anything against Ferguson.So I was very upset with Van Nistelrooy's agent, Rist.

"He is used to being the boss in England, and he really regards himself as No. 1."

After hearing that Stretford was dissatisfied with him, Rist was a little worried at first.But Riester quickly forgot about this person. He is now tyrannical because he has a deep relationship in traditional English football.What time is it now, it's the 21st century.In the next few years, English football will undergo earth-shaking changes. There will be countless foreign investors entering English football, and countless foreign coaches entering English football.At that time, his strength will start to shrink.

And so it was.Under the impact of foreign forces, Stretford's strength declined sharply.Fortunately, he ended up with another superstar player, that is, Wayne Rooney, who is loved by thousands of England.After having Rooney, he allowed himself to continue to play in English football.Otherwise, he would have been swept out of the house long ago.

"Hehe. Yes, he has been the boss of English football for too long and thinks too much of himself."

Like Riester, Zahavi is not as strong as Stretford in the current English football.But he looked down on Stretford. As an agent, he was too ostentatious, completely forgetting that the agent should not appear too much in front of the media.Any agent in European football, if you look carefully, no one is clean, and their operations have problems of one kind or another.Therefore, the more powerful the agent, no matter how arrogant he is in the football world, he is generally very cautious and cautious when facing the media.The black gold scandal that has been caught by the media several times like Stretford really doesn't know how to restrain himself.

"Yes, just sit and watch the sky."

The two looked at each other and laughed.Pini Zahavi is indeed a super agent in the future. Of course, his current strength is not bad, and his influence is not weak.But in English football, it is not as good as Stretford.In terms of strength, neither of them is worse than Stretford in European football.But it's just a disadvantage in English football.The tacit smiles of the two can be described as a tacit understanding.Both know that they should work together to be able to fight against the mighty Stretford in English football.

Both are top agents in European football, and both see the development potential of English football.No one wants to let go of the big cake of English football, and no one wants to be suppressed by others in English football.

"Let's not talk about him. British football will not be his world soon." (To be continued...)
