"Rist, your name is really famous. John told me that there is nothing you can't do in European football."

"Danielle, John took the prize."

Rist replied modestly, but continued: "However... the main reason is that I have been in European football for a long time, so many people in European football can still give me a little face, and I can run errands for ordinary small things. .”

"Hehe. In European football, who would dare to let you run errands casually."

Thomas Di Benedetto is the new boss who has just entered Rome.Originally, when he came to Rome, he had nothing to do with Rist, and Rist didn't know the boss either.Rist is now focusing on a few nouveau riche. You, an American boss with a small fortune, are not in Rist's eyes.Swinging his net worth, there are not as many American owners in European football as Rist.

But things are always so coincidental.Thomas DiBenedetto did not know Rist before, but DiBenedetto is one of the shareholders of Fenway Group.And the major shareholder of Fenway Group is John Henry, who has just entered Liverpool.In other words, John Henry and Di Benedetto are collaborators, and the cooperation between the two parties is very good.Even now, the two of them still cooperate in business.It was through this connection that Rist passed John Henry and met Rome's new boss Di Benedetto.

When Rist was at its strongest in Serie A, he failed to catch up with the prosperity of Serie A because of his weak strength.When Serie A began to decline, it was because of the fear of the Juventus forces in Serie A, that is, Moggi's forces.So there is no choice to enter Serie A.It was not until Serie A really fell that Rist began to cooperate with Serie A.Including cooperation with Naples and cooperation with Inter Milan.

Now Rist is preparing to cooperate with Rome.Serie A declined faster than La Liga, because Serie A clubs don't even have their own stadiums.In the next few years, Serie A will become the talent output base for other leagues.Not to mention the Premier League and La Liga, even the Bundesliga and Ligue [-] are poaching people in Serie A.Therefore, Riester is preparing to train young players in Serie A.

"Danielle, John told me that you like young people."

"Yes."

Di Benedetto is a stranger, and if it wasn't for John Henry's relationship, they wouldn't have gotten together.Rist is unclear about his style of conduct.But John Henry told Rist.Di Benedetto wants Roma to be younger.

"Of course, I am not saying that the team must be young. I hope to gradually update the club so that the average age of the club can come down."

Rister nodded.At present, the age of Roma players is not as good as that of nursing homes like Milan, but there are not a few older ones.There are several main players over thirty.Therefore, it is understandable that Di Benedetto wants to carry out some rejuvenation.

"Daniele, you and John are collaborators. Then I will say it boldly. Although Roma won the runner-up last season, it was only because of the decline of Milan, the chaos of Juventus, and the problem of the coach of Naples. That's why I was able to win. To the runner-up. But Juventus will recover sooner or later, and Naples' strength is also growing every season. Compared with them, Roma's strength is not dominant. The goalkeeper position is not bad. I will start from Roma's defense."

Although Rist will calculate the club for his own benefit.But Rist never calculated the club on the issue of players.Every time Rist cooperates with a club, he will carefully study the issues that require cooperation with the club.Therefore, the players recommended to them are also suitable for them.In terms of player trading, Rist can basically pat his chest to ensure that he has a conscience.It is precisely because of this that Riester currently has a very good reputation in European football.Even if the players of Sparta Prague are expensive, those clubs will not dislike them, because the players recommended by Rist are basically guaranteed.

This time to cooperate with Roma, Rist also has a careful understanding of their club.Of course, Rist's company already had enough data analysis on Rome, and Rist just studied it carefully before coming here.

"First of all, let's start with the central defender. The combination of Burdisso and Mexes in Roma last season was generally good, and Juan can also be used as a substitute. I heard that Roma is discussing the transfer of Burdisso. It is very good to win .The left-back Riise and right-back Cassetti are also in good health and can be used for a year or two."

If Rist was recommending with other wealthy or upstart chairmen, he wouldn't say that.In fact, Roma's defensive line is just okay, and it is far behind the giants.It's just that the owner of Rome is an American owner, and Rist has never had much affection for the American owner.They will definitely not invest a lot of money.

Although Di Benedetto in front of him said that he wanted to invest, he even said when he came to Rome that he would build a new stadium and introduce more than five outstanding players this season.But Rist doesn't think he's really investing a lot of money.Even if it is getting younger, in Rist's view, it is not for good grades, but for a good price in the future.That's why the evaluation of Roma's defense is okay.

Just before negotiating with Rome, Rist had just met Naples boss De Laurentiis.De Laurentiis is now very satisfied with his midfield strength, so he began to improve his defense strength.He has already introduced the 500-year-old left-back Dossena from Liverpool for 29 million euros.But not satisfied, the reason for seeing Rist is to introduce an excellent central defender.

Naples is looking at Sparta Prague's central defender Benatia.The 23-year-old Benatia is very low-key in Sparta Prague.Even Subotic was more in the limelight during the game, but everyone knows that Benatia is a very good one in Sparta Prague's defense.Benatia's performance can be expressed in one word, stable.

De Laurentiis is really going to build a great Naples.That's why he paid a lot of money for signings, and he took a fancy to Benatia.In the end, he threw out 1900 million euros boldly and introduced Benatia from Sparta Prague.

"Let's talk about the midfielder. Roma's midfielder is relatively strong, especially the partner of De Rossi and Pizarro is very good. But I heard that Mene is going to transfer, so Roma should introduce a strong attacking ability Player on the left."

Mene was transferred and was taken away by the wealthy Paris Saint-Germain.Mene has performed well in Rome in the past two seasons, but his development as one of the four little swans has not been smooth.However, in order to attract the support of local fans, Paris Saint-Germain spent a lot of money to introduce Matuidi, and now they are going to introduce Mene.

"Yes. 2300 million euros."

Di Benedetto had a wry smile when he said this transfer.Although he is an American owner and is not very familiar with football, he also knows that selling Mene just after he came to Rome will be harmful to him.Originally, he wanted to keep Mene, but it is a pity that the upstarts of Paris Saint-Germain directly gave Mene an annual salary of nearly 300 million euros after tax.Rome cannot afford such an annual salary.

"The offensive player on the left, let me introduce you one. The extraordinary king of Ligue 13, the left genius of Marseille. Last season in Ligue [-], he scored [-] goals and had many assists. The young talent of Côte d'Ivoire Gerald Vigno. Although there are problems with poor shooting, his passing ability is still very top."

The 23-year-old Gervinho is definitely the most incredible one in European football.Although there are some problems in passing and shooting, he has been criticized.But in a team like Rome that pays attention to offense, Gervinho is definitely an excellent breakthrough point.Exercise in Rome, if you can really play well, you can also find a good club to transfer in the future.

Because Rist and Roma have never cooperated, there is no Rist in the Roma team.So from the beginning of the cooperation, Rist will send his players to Rome.

"Let's talk about the current Roma striker. What should I say about Vucinic? He is well-balanced in all aspects, but there is nothing outstanding, and his ability to grasp the goal is too poor. His achievements in this life are just This way, there will be no more improvement. His current level is also his highest achievement. I suggest that his current market is still good, and it is better to make a move quickly."

The talent of Vucinic can't be said to be bad, but it's not top-notch.The most is to be able to become the main force of a strong team and be a main substitute in a wealthy team.There will be no further developments.Fortunately, Wu Qi Niqi's current market is not bad, and his worth is not low. This time is just a good opportunity to sell him.

"If you want a stable transition to a replacement, you need an excellent striker. A player who can fight. Last season's Serie A top scorer Di Natale is good. Although he is old, he is 32 years old. But he He is a player who gets stronger as he gets older, and Roma can sign a two-year short-term contract with him. In two years, the results can be guaranteed, and there is enough time to find young players to replace him.”

Rist didn't care at all, and completely stuffed his own players in.Rist is recommended by conscience. Although he is his own player, Rist is aboveboard.Because they are all powerful players.So Rist didn't feel the slightest bit of embarrassment.

"kindness."

Listening to Rist's words, Dibenedetto understood in his heart.Rist recommends his own players.But he doesn't care about this. What he cares about is whether the players recommended by Rist are really good.As long as the players are good enough, he is willing to cooperate with Rist.

"For the Roma coach..."

"I can't say that. After all, the coach of Roma is Ranieri, so I can't say anything. But if you need a new coach in the future, you can observe the current head coach of Lille in Ligue [-], Rudy Garcia. The coaches are good."

"Okay." (To be continued...)
