Legendary Broker

"Marquez, how's the weather in England? Is it hard to get used to it?"

"Well, it's really annoying."

Marquez Franzi, who was sitting in front of Rist, was a little surprised.Franzi has a good reputation in the circle of world football agents, because he will not use players to put pressure on the club, and it is rarely heard that he has any awkwardness with his own players.On the contrary, many agents laughed at him behind his back, thinking that he was too honest.Honesty represents pedantry in broker circles.Because you don't know how to put pressure on the club, how can the club increase the salary of your players.

Franzie has been an agent for a long time, and has been for 20 years.But in the past 20 years, the development has been tepid, and the strength is very average.He is honest, so he won't go around trying to find a way.On the contrary, Franzi is honest and only cares about his players.Otherwise, with Riquelme's character, how could he get along so well with Franzie.

These factors surprised Franzie.He didn't have much friendship with Rist, and he had never even communicated with Rist face-to-face like this. This was the first time.So when Francie got the call from Rist, he had misheard himself.But Franzie was an accident, he was still very willing to have a good relationship with Rist.After all, he just has a good personality, and there is no problem with his IQ.

"Money is a good thing, money is a bastard. You see we all endure this rubbish weather in England for a little money."

"Haha."

Franz laughed when he heard Rist's words.Franzie was older, twenty years older than Rist.Listen to what Rist said so directly.On the contrary, I am very happy.

"Marquez, have you thought about Riquelme?"

"Roman?"

Hearing Riquelme's name, Franz felt a little sad.As Maradona's agent for a while, Franzi's vision is still very high.He is very proud of capturing a top talent like Riquelme in Argentine football.Riquelme has been very popular since his debut in Argentine football, and he really has the style of Maradona back then.Especially when the Toyota Cup played Real Madrid's midfielder, all the Argentine media believed that Riquelme was the next Maradona.Even the media in European football followed suit.

It's a pity that after following in Maradona's footsteps and coming to Barcelona, ​​he was already disgusted in just half a season.Riquelme is completely unadapted to the current Barcelona, ​​and someone has even put the hat of a parallel importer on him.This made Franzie, who had great expectations for Riquelme, very sad.

"Rist, Roman's problem still needs your help."

Just like Muscardi.Franz and his agents who have some relationship with Barcelona pay more attention to the development of Barcelona's top management.Franzie and Gaspart have a good relationship.But he also knows the truth of one emperor and one courtier, and he is also thinking about how to maintain his position in Barcelona in the post-Gaspart era.They all believe that Laporta has a great advantage, with the support of Rosell and Rist, plus Laporta's original status among the Barcelona members.The position of the chairman is basically close to ten.

So Franz also thought of Rist.As long as Laporta can win.Then Rist will play a very important role in the future reconstruction of Barcelona.If Lister is willing to help.Then after Laporta becomes the chairman, it is estimated that Riquelme will also be valued.

"Marquez, actually I don't think Riquelme's future is in Barcelona. Riquelme's style is not suitable for Barcelona. Nor is it suitable for those giants. In fact, you can consider letting Riquelme leave Barcelona."

"Is there no other possibility?"

Rist said to let Riquelme leave Barcelona, ​​but Franzie was not angry, just shook his head and sighed.Rist was really surprised. Franzie has also been a veteran agent for more than 20 years, and his personality is really good.

"Marquez, you have been in this business for many years. You should know that any team has its own core, but any giant will never put all its treasures on one core. And Riquel It’s not that you don’t know Mei’s style. He needs everyone in the team to play around his style. He is most suitable to be the core of a mid-range team in La Liga and lead such a team to become a strong team.”

"Boca Juniors are also rich."

"That's the difference between South American football and European football, and I'm sure you understand that too."

Franzie sighed, he already understood what Rist meant.Although Rist didn't say it directly, he could understand that this should be what Laporta and Russell meant.In other words, there is no place for Riquelme in Barcelona under reconstruction.

"Marquez, I met Fernando Roig and Coach Pellegrini some time ago. They admire Riquelme very much and hope to build a new Villarreal based on him. "

"Rist, let me think about it."

"Marquez, you can go back and think about it slowly. Regarding Fran, you have no idea? Let him continue to play as a substitute at Manchester United to waste time?"

Franzi currently has only two of his most important players.One player is Riquelme and the other is Forlan.It's a pity that Riquelme's situation is not good, and Forlan's current situation at Manchester United is even worse.

This time, Rist did not wait for Franzi to reply, and continued: "Marquez, you are my senior in the brokerage industry, and you are definitely better than me in terms of ability. Fran is a good player, unfortunately He is not suitable for Manchester United, not for the Premier League. His characteristics should go to La Liga, and he should play in La Liga. Mr. Roig and Coach Pellegrini appreciate Forlan very much."

"Villarreal?"

"Well. Villarreal will clean Palermo and lack a leading striker."

Franzie looked up at Lister.He was still surprised in his heart, because Palermo was a player that Villarreal introduced at a high price back then.And Palermo's agent is Argentina's No. [-] agent Muscadi.Because Villarreal cooperated with Rist, they themselves had a bad relationship with the Brazilian agent Figel. Are they going to fight against Muscardi now?

"Well, thank you, Rist."

True or not, Franzie thanked Rist.Franzie didn't quite understand what Rist meant by coming here today, but overall Rist was friendly to release.Now that Rist is friendly, he is of course even happier.

"I didn't do anything. On the contrary, it is true that you have good players and attract many clubs. You don't know, many clubs have asked me to find out what you mean."

Franzie smiled.Franzie was just honest, not stupid.The current market prices of Riquelme and Forlan are not as high as Rist said.Even in history, when Fran was kicked out by Manchester United, his situation was very bleak.Although Ferguson has repeatedly believed that Forlan is capable, his poor performance at Manchester United has caused many clubs to lose interest in him.At that time, there were not many clubs willing to take in Fran, so I was very grateful to Villarreal Franzi who took in Fran.

Therefore, when Riquelme transferred, Franzie favored Villarreal.Riquelme really wanted to go to Atletico Madrid with his mentor Bianchi.But it is precisely because Franzi is very grateful to Villarreal for taking in Fran, so he urged Riquelme to join Villarreal.Although there are other factors in the middle, Franchy's role is very important.

"Marquez, in fact, apart from talking about Riquelme and Fran, I have one more thing I want to ask you today."

"whats the matter?"

"Fernando Hidalgo, you should be familiar with this man."

"Fernando, of course."

Argentina has many excellent agents, among which Muscadi is the best.But apart from Muscardi, the vampire brokers like Franzie and Saviola Zuela are among the best brokers.But if we say that Argentina's powerful agent predators, apart from Muscadi, it is Fernando Hidalgo.

Of course, he is a rising agent predator, and he has some similarities with Mendes.Mendes was Figel's horse boy back then, but Mendes accumulated strength in the process of being Figel's horse boy, and rose when Figel fell into trouble.Mendes is now well-known in European football, but he already monopolizes half of Portugal's resources.Top agents such as Figel, Ribeiro, and Vega who used to be influential in Portuguese football have lost the resources of Portuguese football, and they are not as good as Mendes, who is radiant in the sun.

So did Hidalgo.When Hidalgo first came out, he was running errands for Muscadi.Later, as his strength grew, he became a partner of Muscardi.But it sounds good to be a partner, and it is still a bit of face-saving errands in front of the powerful Muscardi.It's a pity that just as Figel offended Porto to death and sought death in Portuguese football, Mascadi also committed crimes by himself.

Muscardi really doesn't treat players as people, in his mind players are commodities.Take advantage of what is valuable, and get out of the way if it is worthless.This made many players feel uncomfortable, so they left Muscardi one after another after becoming famous in European football.The goal they are looking for is Hidalgo, who is starting to emerge in Argentine football and is a very good guy.

In the past two years, many Argentine stars have begun to leave Mascadi and go to Hidalgo.Veron, Crespo, and Bug Lopez all became Hidalgo's players.This also led to the breakdown of the relationship between former partners Muscadi and Hidalgo.

"Marquez, can you put us in touch. I'd love to meet Hidalgo."

"pass it to me."

Franz knew in his heart that the last thing for Rist was today's goal.But what Rist said earlier is the benefit.Rist first gave the favor, and then hoped to help himself.Franzie was willing to accept Rist's kindness, so he was also willing to help. (To be continued..)
