"This is Nike's condition?"

Rist looked at the contract offered by Nike again and was furious.After the meeting between Rist and Adidas, Nike was indeed anxious.If the player is poached by Adidas, let alone other things, it would be a shame.So they immediately asked Rist to meet, but Rist didn't show up and let someone else from the company take over.Because Riester is not willing to go directly to negotiate with Nike, once the negotiation fails, it is easy to turn his face.

For now, Rist and Nike's cooperation is in every aspect.From Villa to Joaquin, Vicente, and even David Silva, Cazorla, Franck Ribery, these young players Rist have cooperated with Nike.Riester is unwilling to break with Nike in a comprehensive way, and of course Nike cannot completely break with Riester.

After all, at present, Nike itself is at a disadvantage in Spain. It can be on an equal footing with Adidas in the Spanish market. The credit of the Riester players is not small.If Rist and Nike break up in an all-round way, Rist will certainly have a lot to lose.But Nike's loss is also not a little bit, and it may be directly launched in the Spanish sports market by then.

So Rist wants to be able to maneuver.Even if the talk about Messi collapses this time, don't affect everyone's future cooperation.That's why Rist asked his staff to participate in the negotiation of Messi's contract renewal.But Nike is too shameless.Adidas has already offered a sponsorship fee of 150 million euros a year, but Nike's new contract is only a sponsorship fee of 90 euros.

"Bastard, shit, 90 euros. Nike really dismissed me as a beggar."

Rist couldn't help being angry. 90 euros, what is this.Could it be that Rist still lacks this little money? What Rist wants is more than one million sponsorship fees, and Nike is even unwilling to give it.This is simply used by beggars. 90 euros is simply not in line with the current Messi.

"I got some news from some people. Nike is very suspicious of Messi and suspects that he is very likely to be the next Saviola."

The staff involved in the negotiation of Rist hesitated for a moment, but told his boss what he had heard.He follows Rist every day, and understands that Messi is the player that Rist values ​​most.At present, there are not one or two young players under Rist, but Rist spends more time on Messi than on other players combined.

"Saviola? He also matches my Leo."

Rist curled his lips in disdain.In fact, Saviola's limelight in 01 was no worse than Messi's now.Saviola's performance in the World Youth Championship that year.That was shocking, even more shocking than Messi.Otherwise, Barcelona will not be able to wait to ask for Saviola and give him a high salary of 500 million euros.But Saviola has almost been abolished by now.Saviola is someone else's player, of course Rist is unwilling to compare Saviola with Messi.

What a shame to compare Saviola with Messi.Saviola has long since fallen in Barcelona, ​​and Messi is Rist's hope for the future.How dare you compare them together.

In fact, many newspapers have written about Nike's concerns.When many people analyzed Saviola's failure, they thought his thin body was a reason.Now Messi's body does not look better than the original Saviola. Many media use the Champions League final to show that Messi may be the next Saviola.Messi played poorly against Liverpool.Many newspapers believe that Messi's performance in that game was so poor because of his poor health.

Although Messi performed well in the Eredivisie.But once it comes to a more intense league, it will definitely be revealed.I didn't expect Nike to believe such a thing.

"So Nike is not optimistic about Messi's future."

Rist shook his head.Nike bastards are too realistic.Since Nike looks down on Messi.Then don't blame Rist for choosing Adidas.

In the middle of the World Youth Championship, and when Rist chose between Nike and Adidas, the transfer market in European football also began to be lively.However, because the 06 World Cup is about to be played, there are not many heavyweight transfers.

The most important transfer is Arsenal's French midfielder Patrick Vieira's 2000 million euro transfer to Juventus.Although this transfer has Wenger's tacit approval.But definitely not what Wenger wanted.The differences between Jerome Anderson and Wenger are getting bigger and bigger. This summer, Jerome Anderson is once again manipulating the transfer of Vieira.In the beginning, Wenger disagreed with Vieira's transfer, or Moggi flew to London himself to solve the transfer quickly.Among them, Jerome Anderson and, of course, David Dunn's son have played disgraceful roles.Anyway, within Arsenal, the relationship between Wenger and Jerome Anderson cannot be said to be completely broken, but it has already fallen to the bottom of history.But here Ster is happy to see.Because Vieira is gone, it is a very good result for Baptista.

Also with this incident, the conflict between Wenger and Jerome Anderson has become semi-public within Arsenal.Even if Jerome Anderson has the support of David Dunn.If there is a conflict with Wenger, life at Arsenal will be difficult.Vieira is one of his trump cards, plus Henry.Now that Vieira is gone, Jerome Anderson's strength at Arsenal has dropped a lot.

After Tottenham introduced Hleb and Arshavin, they did not stop.Evra was introduced at a price of 400 million pounds.Then they introduced their goalkeeper Cesar from Extremadura Club for 600 million euros.Already spent more than 5000 million euros throughout the summer.

Liverpool's action is second only to Chelsea.100 million euros for Valencia's Sissoko, 200 million for Southampton's Crouch, free for Real Madrid's Luis Figo, and 100 million for Leeds United talent Lennon.Then two consecutive players were introduced from Villarreal, Villarreal's goalkeeper Reina was introduced for 800 million euros, and Villarreal's right back Maicon was introduced for 900 million euros.Liverpool's strength has once again risen a notch.

After Roeg returned to Valencia, Valencia's actions were not small. Right-back Miguel was introduced for 900 million euros, Regulo and Arsenal's Edu were introduced for free, and Diego was introduced from Porto.The last transfer was the acquisition of Morientes from Real Madrid for 1000 million euros.Generally speaking, Valencia did not spend money, because Aimar's transfer fee alone is enough.

The biggest action in La Liga is Atletico Madrid.After introducing many players, Atletico Madrid introduced a Croatian striker.Of course, this striker was recommended by Rist, Eduardo Silva, known as the "Fox of the Restricted Zone" in history.The biggest transfer other than this was Vicente.

When Vicente moved to Liverpool that year, the transfer fee was more than 2000 million euros, which was relatively cheap.But at that time Vicente's market price was at least 3000 million euros or more, just because the contract between Rist and Valencia was not high.That's why Liverpool took advantage of it.Although Vicente's performance in the past three seasons was not as good as in Valencia, his worth is still not cheap.Atletico Madrid brought Vicente from Liverpool to the Calderon Stadium, which cost a total of 800 million euros.

The transfer market has been a bit sluggish, but Rist still made a lot of money this summer.For the transfer of Rist players alone, Rist received a commission of no less than tens of millions of euros.In addition to the transfer fee share of some players who were held by Rist and transferred out, etc., Rist has a share of more than [-] million euros.

Not to mention other things, just like the transfer of Hleb, Arshavin, and Baptista, Rist was able to get a share of nearly 700 million euros from the transfer fee.Add others and it's even more.

With so much income, Riester hated Nike's stinginess even more.Nike is not optimistic about Messi's future, so don't blame Rist for not giving him face.

"Mr. Dolan. Nice cooperation."

After receiving a cold reception at Nike.Rist quickly started negotiations with Aubrey Dolan.Rist is very satisfied with the contract offered by Aubrey Dolan.But Rist didn't agree directly.Riester put forward higher requirements.Because the World Youth Championship is over, the biggest winner is Messi.

Messi helped Argentina win the World Youth Championship, became the top scorer with seven goals, and finally won the best player.The last time to complete three honors or Argentina's Saviola.After Saviola became famous in the World Youth Championship, he transferred to Barcelona and directly received a salary of 500 million euros.His sponsorship fees also exceeded one million euros at the time.

But what Rist wants is not outrageous.Both parties were very sincere, so an agreement was quickly reached.From now on, Messi will become a player sponsored by Adidas, signing a two-year contract with an annual sponsorship fee of 170 million euros.Rist is only willing to sign for two years. After two years, Rist believes that Messi will be even better, and then it will not be this money.

In fact, with Messi's outstanding performance this season, Rist already has invitations from many companies to discuss the possibility of sponsoring Messi.Messi's outstanding performance in PSV has also greatly increased his reputation in Argentina.And with this World Youth Championship.Messi has become another icon in Argentine football.

But Rist is cautious.Who is Messi, the ace player of Ricester in the future.Rist will not make Messi too tired for the sake of a little benefit in front of him.Now for the sponsorship fees of hundreds of thousands of euros and millions of euros, it is not worth the candle to make Messi too tired.Because a few years later, when Messi became No.1 in world football, it would cost millions of euros to take over a sponsorship casually.Momentum is needed now.The day of earning money is yet to come.

So Rist discussed with Messi's father and selected two representative ones from countless sponsorship contracts.One is an Argentine brand, which was negotiated by Messi's brother.Rist must let Messi endorse an Argentine brand, so that others can say nothing.

In addition to local Argentine brands, Rist talked to Messi about very famous brands.Coca-Cola, the third sponsor that Rist found for Messi is Coca-Cola.

Although Coca-Cola is a big brand, but the amount of sponsorship is not high.Their annual endorsement fee to Messi is only 60 euros, but Rist is mainly interested in the Coca-Cola brand.Coca-Cola is not a small brand, and there is a possibility of long-term cooperation.And if you endorse Coca-Cola today, you can cooperate with Pepsi if you are unhappy tomorrow.Anyway, this is a good opportunity.After this, Messi has three sponsors and can get nearly 300 million euros in sponsorship fees every year.

"Mr. Cherny, happy cooperation."

Aubrey Dolan was very happy.Nike and Adidas are rivals, and Aubrey Dolan also knows some problems within Nike.Nike thinks Messi may be just a copy of Saviola, but Aubrey Dolan is different.

Messi may be Saviola, but what if Messi is Maradona?Nike started in the United States before entering European football.But Adidas started in European football. In football, it is far more connected, stronger, and most importantly, more courageous than Nike.Aubrey Dolan's judgment on Nike feels ridiculous.

Just for such a small amount of money, losing Messi really has no vision.If Messi does not develop, then at most some money will be lost.But once Messi develops, the benefits he will get at that time will not be a little bit.

"Mr. Dolan, I hope there will be more cooperation between us."

"Of course, Mr. Czerny. I know you have a lot of talented players. We Adidas are the boss of this business. Yankees don't know what football is. We Adidas are very interested in your talented players Yes. Just like Ribery who just moved to Lyon in the summer, we at Adidas are very interested."

"If possible, I would like to continue to cooperate with Adidas."

Rister nodded, and then smiled and said, "It's really blind for Nike executives to think of my Leo as Saviola. But it's true, they started out in basketball, how can they understand a future champion like Leo. "

"Ha ha."

The two laughed loudly.There are more and more players in Riester, and we need to cooperate more closely with these companies.Rist will not only cooperate with one of the companies, but with Nike, Adidas, Puma and other brands.Rist will cooperate with whoever benefits more.Now Adidas is willing to give Messi a higher sponsorship fee, of course Rist let Messi switch to Adidas.

Cooperating with Adidas today, if Nike is willing to give more money next time, maybe it will fall into the arms of Nike.Rist will let Messi get the same income as Zidane now in three or four years.Get tens of millions of euros in sponsorship fees from Adidas every year, and also cooperate with Adidas to create a brand.Rist feels sorry for himself if he doesn't get around 2000 million euros a year.
