"Clap clap!!!!!!!!!!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Laporta."

"President Laporta."

"thanks, thanks."

Time flies, and the 02-03 season is over. From 02 to 03 was a watershed, a real watershed.After this season, European football has become more and more divided.Those strong teams that could challenge the giants of European football began to decline one after another. Of course, they came back once in history in 03-04.

But that was a flashback.Since then, all the strong teams in European football have disappeared, and they have never challenged the strength of the giants in European football.Dortmund, the only Bundesliga football team that can challenge Bayern's dominance in this decade, is now in an economic crisis. Dortmund was able to survive in 02 because of Dortmund's strong background and loyal fans.But the crisis continued to intensify, and Dortmund could not see any hope of getting out of the crisis.

Look at La Liga powerhouses Deportivo and Valencia.A few years ago, Deportivo was a strong La Liga team that won three consecutive La Liga titles. At that time, it firmly suppressed the two La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.And Valencia is also a strong team that won the Champions League three years ago.It's a pity that both teams are now in debt and have no ability to introduce some top stars.When they were at their peak, Deportivo had such top players as Rivaldo, Poboski, and Makaay.And Valencia also has top stars such as Lopez, Jan Koller, Mendieta, Ronaldinho, and Vicente.

But now they are constantly losing stars.There is no capital to introduce stars of the same level.The decline in financial strength has caused them to no longer have the strength to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

As for Serie A, it goes without saying.Lazio, Parma, and Roma are all strong teams in the "post-seven sisters" era of Serie A. When they are the most prestigious, even the top three and three giants in the north have to shy away from the transfer market.But now their bosses are powerless.The club's income is limited, and the boss does not give money. It should be said that their boss's own business has problems, and they are about to go to jail.Therefore, the blow to them is not a little bit, but the club's vitality is greatly damaged.In Serie A, they don't have any strength to challenge the top three in the north.

The chaos of European football in the 90s will never be seen again.The powerful superstars all go to the giants, and the strong teams can no longer keep the superstars.The polarization is getting worse.Unless oil tycoons like Abramovich and Abu Dhabi Group come out, the pattern of European football giants is already rigid.

This is the best of times.It is the best era for giants and strong teams.With the Bosman Act.The rich and powerful teams wantonly plunder the best player resources in the world.Those small teams simply cannot stop the poaching of the rich and powerful teams.It's a good time for agents and players.Because the player's salary is getting higher and higher, the agent's commission is also increasing.But it's also the worst of times.It is the worst era for those small leagues and small clubs.

For brokers like Rist, this is an era that couldn't be better.Because as the salaries of players continue to rise, the income of brokers like Rist has also doubled.For example, Rist is not counting the commissions of various transfers now.The annual share from the players' salaries alone is nearly tens of millions of euros.If you add other payments in the contract.Rist is considered to have no transfers every year.It can also earn more than ten million euros.

Moreover, the current agent predators no longer rely solely on the share of salaries and commissions from player transfers.Like Riester, he is now even able to control the transfer of some small and medium clubs.For Rist, only the current football is the best.Like those big brokers who have been brokers for many years.The money earned in the past 20 years is not as much as Rist has amassed in recent years.It can be said that it is precisely because the pace of commercialization of football is getting faster and faster that agents like Riester have become billionaires.

Time passed slowly like this, and it was already June 2003, 6.This day is the day of the Barcelona presidential election. Although there is little suspense about Laporta's election, everyone in Laporta's campaign team is still very excited after the results come out.

"Rist, we won."

"Yes, we won. Congratulations, Sandro."

Rist and Roselle were sitting next to each other.Hearing the number of votes issued, the two of them were not surprised.Because in this election, Laporta does not have a serious opponent.To be honest, they only got a little more than 50.00% of the votes, and Rist and Russell still feel a little bit worse.Laporta should get more than 60.00% of the votes.

But winning is winning.Laporta won, Russell was Barcelona's vice-chairman, and Rist was Barcelona's transfer consultant.It can be said that Laporta has won now, and he needs to repay those who supported him like Russell and Rist.

"Sandro, Rist, thank you."

FC Barcelona is in the Catalan region and there is no less attention in Barcelona than in anything else.Therefore, today Laporta has gathered many dignitaries from political and business circles in Barcelona.After Laporta greeted them first, he came to his campaign team.Laporta's campaign team is tomorrow's Barcelona management.

"Congratulations, Joan."

Rist stepped forward to shake hands with Laporta.Rist actually doesn't like Laporta in his heart, because many of Laporta's views are somewhat extreme.But this world doesn't revolve around Rist alone, and Rist can't demand other people's character according to his own preferences.

"It's all because of everyone's support."

Laporta is very proud.In fact, Laporta started to disagree with the Barcelona chairman Nunes very early on. He sang against Nunes in public many times and criticized Nunes.Later, Gaspart became the chairman of Barcelona, ​​and Laporta was still the vanguard of the opposition.Finally, finally it was my turn to be the chairman of Barcelona.

"Joan, those of us are still waiting for you to become the greatest chairman of Barcelona. Lead Barcelona to a peak."

Bejilistan next to him smiled and complimented Laporta.Begilistan is not a member of Laporta's campaign team. He is an old man in Barcelona and once played in Barcelona.But in this election, he clearly supported Laporta.In the future distribution of power, Begilistan is a strong candidate for the Barcelona club's athletic director.

"Yes, we all hope that the new chairman can end the current chaos in Barcelona."

Bartomeu, who was standing next to Roselle, also echoed Begilistan.Bartomeu is Russell's number one assistant and one of the richest people in Catalonia.Bartomeu and Russell supported Laporta this time, and they also have their own requirements.Bartomeu has already confirmed that he will take over the management of the Barcelona basketball team.

Rist watched coldly from the side, already sneering in his heart.It is okay to share adversity, but it is difficult to share wealth.Everyone cooperated to win the position of Barcelona chairman, and they all got their own positions.But it doesn't mean that there will be harmony within Barcelona. On the contrary, everyone has begun to be very clear so soon.

Rosell is Barcelona's vice-president in charge of athletics.Although Laporta is the chairman of Barcelona, ​​Laporta and Russell are just a cooperative relationship, and Russell cannot be regarded as Laporta's real subordinate.Look at Begilistan again, this person has obviously defected to Laporta.Begilistan became the director of Barcelona's sports, obviously because of the power of Russell.

And Bartomeu is Russell's number one assistant, and has a very close relationship with Russell.So Bartomeu seemed to agree with Begilistan, but it was obviously to help Russell speak.Now it is just victory, and this is the virtue within Barcelona.Rist didn't know what to say.I don't know how long the cooperation between Laporta and Russell will last.

Of course Lister knew a little bit.Although Rist is not a vassal of Laporta or Roselle, Rist is obviously close to Roselle.Rist was introduced to Laporta by Russell, and in terms of his current status in Barcelona, ​​Rist is also working with Russell.Although Rist does not want to imprint himself as someone in Barcelona, ​​most people will regard Rist as being with Russell.

"This still needs everyone's help."

Regardless of Laporta's personality, his superficial skills are still quite good.Of course, most of these people are like this, and their superficial skills are very good.

"Sandro, the Barcelona transfer must be done quickly."

In fact, Barcelona has already talked about many transfers to Rosell.It's just that if Laporta doesn't win for a day, Russell's promise cannot be fulfilled for a day.Now that Laporta has won, Barcelona's transfer needs to be accelerated.

"Don't worry, Huo An."

Now Laporta has just won. Although he used Begilistan to divide Russell's power, it doesn't mean that the victory just now means a tie.Laporta just inserted a person into Roselle's field just in case.At present, Russell is still in charge of Barcelona's competitive part.

"I will as soon as possible."

Russell is currently confident.A lot of transfer Russell has already started negotiations early, and has been waiting for Laporta's victory.Now that Laporta is the chairman of Barcelona, ​​these transfers can be made.

"Rist, I need you to be tired."

Laporta looked at Rist next to Russell and said with a smile.Rist shook his head and said, "This is my job." (To be continued...)
