"Jochen, you want to ask me what I think about the future of Dortmund?"

Riester and Jochen Leiz watched the Dortmund game together.Dortmund's performance has been good recently. The most important thing is that Dortmund's sponsor has expired, and Puma is ready to sponsor Dortmund.This is not Puma's whim.

Because with the Czech players entering Dortmund on a large scale this season, especially Rosicky, Poboski and Jankulovski are all players sponsored by Puma.It is Klose who just joined, because he has been playing in the Czech Republic, especially in Sparta Prague, so he is also sponsored by Puma.With so many players sponsored by Puma all of a sudden, Puma is of course paying attention to Dortmund.

But Dortmund is always unsettling.They are the first listed football club in Germany, and they have introduced world-class players on a large scale in the past two years.But their stock is not very popular in the stock market, and the stock price continues to decline.Although Dortmund's performance this season is good, the stock price is still falling, and it has reached 6 euros, which is almost half of the 11 euros at the beginning.But also because of the gathering of so many world-class players, Dortmund's performance began to rise significantly.At present, it has overwhelmed strong teams such as Bayern and Leverkusen, and has always ranked first in the Bundesliga.

Such a situation made Jochen Reitz a little uncertain.The matter of sponsoring the club is not so easy to decide, and more importantly, Dortmund hopes to sponsor for a long time.

"Rist, you are not as good as me in running a company. But I am not as good as you in judging football. I believe you are also better than me in running football clubs. I am asking you for advice."

Although Riester has cooperated with Nike on a large scale in Spain, this does not mean that Riester will give up the cooperation with Puma.After all, Puma and the Czech Republic have been cooperating for almost six years, and the cooperation between the two parties has been in all aspects.Even because the cooperation is too close, as long as Czech football is mentioned, it is Puma, and everyone can think of Czech football when mentioning Puma.Moreover, Puma is currently the third largest sports brand after Nike and Adidas, and its development speed is very fast.Rist never thought of ditching Puma.

"Jochen, let me tell you roughly."

Rist and Jochen Leitz have known each other for almost six years. Apart from cooperation, they also have some personal friendships.Therefore, Rist said without any concealment: "Dortmund will definitely achieve good results in the past two years, but it is only two or three years. You are better than me in terms of capital operation and management. Don't you see the current situation? Is Dortmund dangerous?"

Jochen Leitz nodded.Dortmund's top brass are running hot right now.But some bystanders were able to see the danger in Dortmund.Jochen Leitz also saw some dangers in Dortmund, so he hesitated.

"Jochen, let's put it this way. Football is not a money-making industry. Those who can use football clubs to make money need a calm senior management. There is also an excellent and stable head coach. Just like Manchester United and Arsenal. They have Peter Kenyon and David Dunne. They also need Ferguson and Wenger. Dortmund don't have this. Now they are just relying on the money from the stock market to buy world-class stars. Their next move is me It's all imaginable."

There are few clubs in the world that can make money, very few.Saying that football clubs can make money is definitely the biggest joke of the 21st century.If 90.00% of the football clubs in the world do not have the support of the boss behind them.will definitely go bankrupt.There are very few clubs in European football that can make money like Manchester United, Bayern, and Arsenal.

"When they can't get money out of the stock market, they will mortgage their stocks, mortgage their stadium, anyway, as long as they can get money, they will use it all. Until they go bankrupt So far. Dortmund's top management is already crazy, completely irrational. This situation can last for two to three years at most, and I can guarantee that Dortmund will be very difficult by around 2004."

Jochen Leitz listened to Rist's analysis, and his mind was very cool.Although he also thought that Dortmund was very dangerous, he did not expect that Riester would be so pessimistic about him.

"Rist, is it a little serious?"

"No, Jochen. What I said is not serious at all. The reality will be more serious than what I said. I heard that the Kirsch Group has been very difficult recently."

"You've heard that too."

The Kirsch Group is the largest media group in Germany and even in the world. He monopolized the broadcasting of the Bundesliga and even bought the broadcasting rights of the 2002 and 2006 World Cups.But it is precisely because of unrestrained and blind expansion that the Kirsch Group is now struggling and owes too much debt.There are countless.

Many insiders know that the current Kirsch Group has many problems, but no one can guarantee anything.After all, the Kirsch Group is a large group company. It doesn't mean that it goes bankrupt just because it goes bankrupt.Even Jochen Leiz knows some inside information, but he dare not say that the Kirsch Group will not be able to survive.But Riester knew that the Kirsch Group would go bankrupt in a few months.At that time, the blow to the Bundesliga will be fatal, and many Bundesliga clubs that survive on broadcast fees have been fatally hit.

"I see."

Looking at the smiling Rist, Jochen Leitz nodded.Although there is no guarantee that the Kirsch Group will go bankrupt, once he really has a problem, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the Bundesliga.

"I'm just talking about the development of Dortmund. As for how to do it, that's your Puma business."

Jochen Reitz smiled.What I was thinking about was that Rist clearly predicted that Dortmund would collapse, but put so many of his players in Dortmund.Even Jochen Leitz could think that Rist should have thought of how to get his players to leave Dortmund by then.Only Dortmund's top executives are now delusional, thinking that Riester really wants to help them.

"Drip-drip-"

"Hello, Michael. I see."

Rist put down the phone.Facing Jochen Leitz, he said, "Look, I'm just a hard worker. I can't rest for a moment."

"Busy, being busy means having something to do. Having something to do means making a profit."

Jochen Leitz had a rare joke with Rist.Rist shrugged and said with a smile: "It's hard to make money, it's hard to make money."

…………

"Michael, I have something to ask."

It was Michael Williams who called Rist.Speaking of which, Michael Williams lost all his prestige in English football, and even became the biggest laughing stock in the agent circle.Because his player Stam was directly kicked out by Ferguson, and he himself had nothing in this transfer as an agent, and he didn't even hear any rumors.

Ferguson's son Jason Ferguson and Lazio have talked about it.The commission inside was also taken away by Jason Ferguson.Michael Williams is the final signing remaining as Stam's agent.

The agent has achieved the level of Michael Williams.What a failure.He has such a wide network of contacts in English football, but failed as an agent so much that he became the laughing stock of all his colleagues.Even Michael Williams was already discouraged, because Ferguson was too dishonest.Just humiliated myself.Even many players are unwilling to believe Michael Williams.

How extensive is your network?You can't even protect your own players.Ferguson said clean it up.And he didn't even give himself a little face.When he arrived in Lazio, he had no leverage to bargain with Lazio.Didn't negotiate a good salary for Stam.Even the players don't want to believe such an agent.

Michael Williams didn't know that this matter had something to do with Rist.Of course, Rist would not yell around, saying that he told Ferguson Stam about his autobiography.And Ferguson didn't say anything. People outside thought that Ferguson sold Stam out of anger after seeing Stam's rotation.Otherwise, Michael Williams would not still maintain a relationship with Rist.

"Rist. Is Valencia's coach Benitez leaving Valencia after this season?"

"Correct."

Rister nodded.If it weren't for Otti, Soler would have fired Benítez on the first day after the election.However, although Benitez is still the head coach of Valencia, most people in European football know that Benitez is leaving Valencia.After all, Benitez's contract is about to expire, and based on the relationship between Rist and Valencia, Benitez will not be able to stay in Valencia anyway.

Rist has been considering Benitez's next home.Of course, as the youngest winner of the Champions League, Benitez has no shortage of successors.But Rist has been unable to make up his mind which club is suitable for Benitez.

If it is 03, Riester would not hesitate to let Benitez enter Chelsea and become Abramovich's coach.With Abramovich's strong check support, it will really kill the Quartet in European football.If it were 06, Riester would let Benitez enter Inter Milan.After taking advantage of "Telephone Gate", he can stand out in Serie A and put all his experience in the Champions League.If this is 04, then Riester will let Benitez enter Liverpool and achieve another brilliant Istanbul miracle.

But the problem is now 02.Chelsea now owes more than 8000 million pounds in debt, and there are many problems in the Premier League.Inter Milan is firmly suppressed by Milan and Juventus in China. Now Italy is the era of the Holy Alliance. No matter how strong you are at Inter Milan, you will not be as strong as Moggi.As for other European giants, each has its own problems.As for some strong European teams, there is no team that meets Benitez's identity.The incident with Benitez in the past six months has also caused Rist quite a headache.

"David Morse would like to talk to you."

"David Morse?"

Rist was taken aback.Everyone in England is familiar with the Morse family, because their family has been closely related to Liverpool for half a century.Now David Morse still holds 50.00% of Liverpool's shares. He is the largest shareholder of Liverpool and can decide everything about Liverpool.This is the current chairman of Liverpool.

"why?"

"Rist, haven't you read the news? A few days ago, coach Houllier was carried to the hospital and underwent eleven hours of surgery."

"I know."

Rister nodded.Liverpool's performance this season is not bad, but on October 2001, 10, five days ago Houllier suddenly suffered a heart attack and entered the hospital.It took eleven hours of surgery in the hospital before he was out of danger.European football knows this news.

After all, that is Liverpool, a giant in Europe and the number one giant in England.Moreover, Houllier is not an easy person. He has been the coach of the French youth team for nine years and has trained two batches of French golden generation players.One group is Zidane's group, and the other group is Henry and Trezeguet's group.Therefore, Houllier is a very well-known coach in France and also belongs to a famous European coach.So Houllier fell, and those few days were the focus of the entire European football media.

"David Morse wants to talk about whether coach Benitez can coach Liverpool." (To be continued...)
