Legendary Broker

There are no secrets in the world, no secrets that cannot penetrate walls.What's more, the news that Rist wanted to disclose would spread even faster.Rist has been an agent for so many years, and he is already comfortable with this method.And all of them can be leak-tight, so that people can slowly accept this matter.Soon news of Chelsea's interest in Benitez was spreading and all the papers were talking about it.

Not many people doubt this news, because Chelsea is now poaching people everywhere.Abramovich has just come to Chelsea for less than a year, and even Manchester United CEO Peter Kenyon has dug into Chelsea, let alone the head coach of Liverpool.Moreover, an upstart like Chelsea wants to attract everyone's attention and quickly increase Chelsea's influence. This method is the best.Although this method is easy to attract many enemies, what Abramovich, who has tens of billions of assets, wants is a rapid rise, and those enemies are simply ignored.

Liverpool is not satisfied.In fact, Benitez has been in charge of Liverpool for two seasons, and his results are not very good, which is much lower than the original expectations.The most satisfying thing about Benitez is the excellent performance in the strong dialogue.Therefore, Liverpool is a little anxious. Liverpool did not think about terminating the contract with Benitez, but they also did not think about signing a new contract with Benitez. It all depends on the results of this season.But now Liverpool is starting to worry.Of course, the Liverpool club is mainly worried about losing face.

The richer they are, the more they care about face and these things.Although Peter Kenyon has made great contributions to Manchester United, his departure will not make Manchester United at a loss.But why Manchester United's reaction was so big that Kenyon couldn't really become Chelsea's chief executive for several months.It was not until Manchester United's anger dissipated that Kenyon became the CEO of Chelsea.There is also Mikel in history. Manchester United did not hesitate to file a lawsuit with Chelsea. In the end, Chelsea paid more than 1000 million pounds to settle Mikel's transfer.

After all, it is still because of the self-esteem of the rich.As the No. [-] giant in the Premier League, how could Manchester United allow an upstart like Chelsea to steal people from Manchester United again and again.That's why Manchester United reacted so much.

The same goes for Liverpool.Manchester United is the Premier League giants, so Liverpool is the number one football club in England.As a currently down-and-out giant, Liverpool cares more about their face and their reputation.If you let an upstart like Chelsea take away your head coach, it would be really embarrassing.Therefore, the Liverpool executives immediately contacted Rist, hoping to talk about Benitez's contract renewal.

Especially on March 2004, 3, after Liverpool returned to the Bernabeu and defeated Real Madrid 11-96 again, Benitez's market was even higher.Although Real Madrid did not perform well in the Champions League this season, Real Madrid is the number one giant in European football after all.In fact, from 02 to 02, the two clubs Real Madrid and Bayern performed best in European football. Even after [-], Real Madrid is still strong in European football.Such Real Madrid was directly sieved by Liverpool. After two rounds, Real Madrid scored five goals by Liverpool.In this battle, Benitez's reputation was fired again.

"Rist, Coach Benitez has been doing well recently."

Liverpool is in a hurry, but Riester is not in a hurry.After watching Liverpool's game in Madrid, Rist did not meet with Liverpool's top management.Because in the subsequent draw, Liverpool was lucky and met Lokomotiv Moscow.After this draw, everyone believes that Liverpool will have no problem advancing to the semi-finals.So Rist waited and waited for this matter to continue to be speculated, and then strive for a better contract based on Benitez's performance in the Champions League.So I just told the Liverpool executives that Benitez did not decide to go to Chelsea, and then met with another agent for dinner.

"It was fried."

It was Raiola who met Rist.Rist and Raiola have known each other for many years, nine years if counted.Raiola is only one year older than Rist, and like Rist, he is only a young agent in his thirties.Mino Raiola has an extraordinary relationship with Czech coach Zeman.However, there has not been much contact between Rist and Raiola over the years, and there should not be much cooperative relationship.

Raiola's business is mainly concentrated in Serie A. Many Dutch players have transferred to Serie A. Raiola's contribution is great.The current Raiola is not very well-known. In Serie A, Moggi and the others are overshadowing the sky, plus Muscadi, Hidalgo and other South American brokers, and Kaliendo, who has a good relationship with South American football. Agents make up Italian Football Agents.But Raiola may not be well-known, but he is a real capable faction, and he does not do things at all high-profile, so he is just not well-known at present.One of the main reasons is that Raiola is very low-key and doesn't even have much contact with his peers.And Rist has always stayed away from Serie A, so Rist and Raiola basically do not offend each other.

Moreover, both of them have developed their influence in the Netherlands, and there has never been any conflict or cooperation.Riester is mainly based in Eindhoven and has developed in the Netherlands for many years.Raiola, on the contrary, developed around Ajax.He has a good relationship with Ajax's top management, and many of his players are Ajax players.Just like Ibramovich and Maxwell are now.In addition to Ajax's own youth training players, the players introduced from Eastern European countries are basically managed by Raiola.

Of course, the relationship between Eindhoven and Ajax is very bad, and there is never any player exchange with each other and so on.The high-level executives of each other rarely greet each other in harmony.But these have nothing to do with agents like Rist and Raiola.The relationship between the two parties is not good within Dutch football, but nothing happens outside of Dutch football.

"Mino, why do you have time to go to Madrid? You don't want to watch the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid, do you?"

"I came here specifically to find you."

Raiola and Rist have known each other for a long time, and with the factor of Zeman, although they usually do not have close contacts, they are relatively casual.

"Find me?"

Rist shrugged, not quite understanding what Raiola meant.The two people have different styles of doing things as agents, different ways of doing things, and it can even be said that they have different interests.Raiola is taking the current path of Stretford, that is, using one or two superstar players to increase his worth.This is the path taken by many traditional agents, including the agents of Zidane and Ronaldo.It's just that Zidane, Ronaldo and their agents are low-key, and the future Raiola has a bad reputation.

However, Rist is different from traditional brokers, and Rist is following another model.Few people can afford this mode, and few dare to play it.So Rist didn't understand what Raiola meant by looking for him.

"Well, I need your help with something."

"Please say."

Rister nodded.Although the relationship with Raiola is not too close, Rist will still help if he can help.An agent like Raiola, Rist, is willing to make friends, and if he plays with the club Sapo, Rister will not be able to catch up with Raiola.Maybe there will be opportunities to cooperate with Raiola in the future.

"Ajax's Zlatan Ibramovich."

"Ibramovich?"

Rist paused for a moment and began to understand what Raiola meant.Ibramovich is the main center of Ajax, and his performance is still very good.Of course, the main reason is that Ibramovich's skills are very good, and his football is very entertaining.From a fatal point of view, he is not as strong as Eindhoven's Drogba.

Raiola came to him because of Ibramovich's affairs, and Rist could probably guess what Raiola meant.Many fans know that Ibramovich left Ajax because of conflicts with Van der Vaart.In particular, Ibramovich's injury to Van der Vaart was the fuse of their contradictions, but this is only the opinion of the fans.

Agents like Riester, who are very powerful in Dutch football, have long known that Ibramovich's departure from Ajax is inevitable.Raiola will not let Ibramovich waste time in Ajax. The conflict between him and Ajax youth players did not suddenly appear in the summer.In fact, the conflict between them already exists, but it has not been made public.Ajax youth academy geniuses like van der Vaart all have their eyes above the top, and all of them want to revive Ajax.A player like Van der Vaart, known as the "New Cruyff", how could he not be proud.

And Zlatan Ibramovich is a player with his nostrils upturned and fearless.Wenger fell in love with him and hoped that he would come to try out. Ibramovich thought it was an insult to him.You can imagine how confident he is, even a little complacent and proud.He couldn't understand Van der Vaart's privilege at Ajax, so the relationship between them turned out to be very bad.Injuring van der Vaart in history is nothing more than a general outbreak of contradictions.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Rist, I have recently started contacting Juventus. I will not hide it from you, it has not been very smooth. Juventus already has Trezeguet and Del Piero, and Ajax has a high price. Mo Ji has some hesitation."

"Huh? Then you still let Ibramovich go to Juventus? Are you not afraid that he will be a substitute there?"

Rist asked with a smile.At present, Juventus's striker is not short of talents.Rist doesn't know what confidence Raiola has to let Ibramovich go to Juventus.

"Rist, as agents, sometimes we have to dare to make decisions. I fully believe in Zlatan, he will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Juventus."

Looking at the confident Raiolarist smiled.Raiola is very capable, and people think he is more of a vampire, and a bunch of wealthy families don't like him.It also concealed his excellent vision and his decisiveness.There are so many strong men in Juventus, he still brought Ibramovich to Juventus.Later, this trick was a stroke of genius, and Ibramovich became the best player in Serie A.

Then there was Pogba.Some people may think that Raiola brought Pogba to Juventus because Juventus gave more money, but this was also a gamble by Raiola, which eventually achieved great success.Pogba has become Juventus' main midfielder in just two or three years, and has become one of the best midfielders in European football.Raiola is definitely one of the best in European football in this regard.

"Mino, then I won't hide it from you. My relationship with Juventus is not as good as I imagined. Although Pavel is in the middle, I have no relationship with Moggi."

"I know."

As the most powerful agent in European football, Rist has little to do with Italian football, which everyone knows.Many insiders believe that the main reason is that the Italian economy is getting worse and worse, and the income of Italian football is getting lower and lower.They believe that there are fewer and fewer large-scale transfers in Italian football, which is also the reason why Riester does not enter Italian football.

"Then you still come to me."

"Rist, I know you don't have much relationship with Juventus. But Nedved has a good relationship with Juventus' top management. Rist I hope Nedved can help."

Rist didn't answer right away.Indeed, as Raiola said, Rist and Juventus are working relationships.Currently, for Nedved, Rist is more about developing his commercial value, and more about some off-court issues.Because in Juventus, Nedved does not need Rist to take care of him personally.

On the contrary, Nedved himself has a very good relationship with Juventus' high-level officials, especially the relationship with Agnelli Jr.Even Nedved's house is right next to the little Agnelli's house. The two are neighbors and have a very good personal relationship.

Historically, Nedved and Raiola have a very good relationship, and Raiola made Nedved's transfer to Juventus the only one.So it was very difficult for Ibramovich to transfer to Juventus, so he asked Nedved to help persuade Agnelli.Ibramovich moved to Juventus, and Nedved's contribution was great.

But it's different now, the relationship between Raiola and Nedved is mediocre.The main reason is that Raiola was unwilling to contact Nedved, which misunderstood Rist, the agent predator.After all, Nedved is now Rist's number one ace player. If anyone dares to touch Nedved, he will definitely offend Rister.So Raiola went to Rist first.

"You want Pavel to speak for you."

"kindness."

That's what Raiola is for.Zlatan Ibramovich is almost 23 years old, and Raiola is not willing to let him continue to waste time in the Eredivisie.Raiola made an analysis of Serie A, and Juventus is the most suitable for Zlatan Ibramovich.

Rist nodded slowly.If Ibramovich is a player with poor strength, then of course Rist would not recommend it.But Rist knows that Ibramovich will soon become the absolute main force of Juventus.This can be regarded as a good fate, and Raiola knows how to do it.If Rist helps, he will never take the benefits that should be given to him.

"Mino, I will give it a try. But I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."

"Rist, there is nothing you can't do with your shot. I thank you in advance." (To be continued.)
