"Tell me what happened."

"In our Uruguay..."

"enough."

Rist immediately cut off Suarez's words, and then said bluntly: "Don't make excuses for me, I didn't come here today to listen to your explanation. Let me ask you, have you ever said 'nigger? 'In this case."

"Said."

Facing Rist, Suarez did not dare to shout loudly.Although Rist snatched Suarez from others, Rist's strong strength gave Suarez the greatest support.With the help of an agent like Rist who is in charge of European football, Suarez's future will be brighter.Suarez also understood this, so he left his original agent and cooperated with Rist.

Rist is always smiling.But now that Suarez looked at Rist's cold eyes, he suddenly felt a little timid.In any case, Rist is a powerful agent, Suarez still dare not be too presumptuous.

"Is there something wrong with your head? You have been playing football in England for a while, don't you know how serious the consequences of racial discrimination are?"

Among the players in Ricester, Suarez is indeed a very talented one.But Rist didn't care about that, and immediately stood up and criticized Suarez.

This buddy has a problem with his head in history.What about racial discrimination, biting, and handball? Anyway, there are countless players who have been suspended.Being honest for a while in the past few years made Rist think that Suarez would not get sick anymore.Unexpectedly, he finally fell ill, which made Rist very angry.

Don't say anything else.Among the players in Rist's hands, one-third of them are black.Grandma, if this matter expands, how will Rist explain to his players.

"But 'nigger' in Uruguay is not a discriminatory term, it's just a term for people of color."

"Don't bullshit me."

It's okay for Suarez not to make an excuse, but Rist was furious when he made an excuse.Pointing to Suarez, he said: "You can call it that way, how long have you been in Europe? Don't you know the taboos here, so I won't believe it. You can talk to those reporters about this kind of excuse at that time. Tell the FA and see if they believe it."

Rist was really angry.Suarez has been playing in Europe for many years.How can this kind of taboo be understood.And it's not just about being punished by the FA.And it will cause his reputation to plummet, causing his commercial value to plummet.This lost millions of pounds.

"Ring-ring--"

"Fuck, who is it?"

Rist was so angry that he didn't want to answer the phone.But after seeing the caller ID.Still answered the phone.But when answering the phone.Said in a very calm tone: "I am Lister Czerny."

"Rist. It's me."

"Jochen, what's the matter?"

Rist already understood something in his heart.Because it was Jochen Leitz, the CEO of Puma, who called, what a good thing it would be to call at this time.Jochen Leitz was on the phone.He said in a low voice, "Is it true what Evra told the French reporters after the Manchester United game?"

"Yes."

"Rist, how could such a thing happen."

Jochen Leitz was in a state of exasperation on the phone.Suarez plays in Sparta Prague, and the Czech Republic is Puma's sphere of influence.Sparta Prague and Puma have been working together for many years.An outstanding player like Suarez is of course a star that Puma focuses on.Therefore, he cooperated with Puma soon and became a cooperative star of Puma.

I have been to Tottenham in the past two years and performed very well in the Premier League.The main reason is that his way of playing football is very exciting, so he is well-known in the Premier League.Puma currently does not have too many iconic stars, so the 23-year-old Suarez is quite valued by Puma.But look what's going on now.

"Sorry, Jochen. I'm dealing with this right now, and I'll get this sorted out soon."

"Solution, how to solve it."

Suarez's scoring rate at Tottenham increased significantly last season, reaching 23 goals throughout the season. At the age of [-], with such a performance in the Premier League, he is already an outstanding striker in European football.Puma originally wanted him to be the flag star during this period.But when something like this happens, it will do huge damage to Puma's image.

"Rist, the impact of this matter is too bad. You should know that half of our Puma market is in Africa. How do you let me deal with it?"

"Jochen, I will try my best to eliminate the influence of this time."

"I'm sorry, Rist."

Jochen Reitz said very seriously during the reception call: "Rist, we at Puma will pay attention to the development of this matter anytime and anywhere. If the matter becomes more and more troublesome, then Rist, I am really sorry at that time. We will talk to Suarez I hope you can understand."

"I understand, Jochen."

Rist does understand Puma.Puma is different from Adidas and Nike. Puma has always taken a roundabout path before.Because Puma was unable to compete with top brands such as Nike and Adidas at the time, it could only sponsor Czech and African football to expand its business.

Among the current African football, Puma's influence is the greatest.After entering the 21st century, African stars like Drogba, Eto'o, Yaya Toure, and Diouf are all Puma's stars.At present, African national teams participating in the World Cup are all sponsored by Puma.Therefore, although Africa is poor, Africa is still one of Puma's largest markets.

After hanging up the phone, Suarez Rist was even more angry when he looked at the unconvinced Suarez.So I can only say again: "Look at the call from the CEO of Puma. He said that if this matter is not resolved, Puma will terminate the cooperation with you."

"Money, this is money. Are you earning too much money now, you don't need to take care of sponsors, you don't need to continue to make money. If Puma didn't take care of my face, they would terminate your contract now."

"Then what should I do?"

Suarez was also a little stunned.He originally thought it was nothing serious, at most it would be suspended for two or three games by the FA, and at most it would be a fine of tens of thousands of pounds.

Unexpectedly, less than six hours after the game, even the CEO of Puma called.Puma is the main sponsor of Suarez, and the annual sponsorship fee for Suarez is 80 pounds, which is currently the highest sponsorship fee among Suarez's sponsors.Even the current Pepsi, sponsoring Suarez a year is only 40 pounds.

"The matter is getting serious. Evra is a Manchester United player, but he is a Manchester United player. And the incident has reached the point where it is out of control. Maybe the FA will ban you for six to eight games, it depends on you what to do?"

Although Rist is very critical, but Rist can't really ruin Suarez.After all, Suarez is also one of the most talented players under Ricester.

And more importantly, if Suarez is bullied miserably this time, Rist will lose face by then.After all, he can't even protect his own players, so let the rest of European football think of Rist.Maybe Suarez thinks that Rist is not capable enough, so he will find another agent in a few days, and Rist will really be beaten.And it will seriously affect the confidence of players under Riester.

Therefore, Rist is also actively thinking of ways.How should we get through this crisis.Regarding Suarez's racial discrimination in history, although Rist is not clear about the specific situation, he also knows that Liverpool treated it tough at the time.The final result was a crushing defeat. Not only was Suarez's punishment increased, but even Liverpool was bombarded by the English media for a while.

In Liverpool at the time, everyone from the club's top executives to Daglish believed that Suarez was right.It's a pity that the more they are like this, the more unresolvable this matter is. In the end, the entire image of Liverpool was affected.In the end, Liverpool's sponsors put pressure on Liverpool, thinking that it was wrong for them to support Suarez without principle.

To be tough is to fight people face to face.What Rist hates the most is this kind of war. Fighting face to face, no matter whether he wins or loses, is of no benefit to the manager.It seems that something needs to be done to calm this matter down.

"Louis, you didn't say a single word after the game?"

"No. I didn't expect Evra to tell French reporters about it."

Suarez nodded.He didn't take this matter to heart at first, but he didn't expect Evra to tell the French reporters after the game, and this matter immediately caused an uproar in the French media.Then it soon spread to England.In the current Internet age, Evra just attacked Suarez, and everyone knew it in less than two hours.

"That's good. From now on, don't talk nonsense in front of the media. First of all, don't stand up and say that you are right. You just say to the media that this word does not mean discrimination in Uruguay. Then you must be very sincere. , saying that you apologize if this has bothered Evra in any way. Got it?"

Rist knew that Suarez had a temper, so he increased his tone.He said very seriously: "Remember, this matter is very big. If you were in Italy, then this matter might have passed the event. But it is different in England. You are not a local player in England, they must It will make an example to others. So you must not stand up about this matter and think that you are right. At that time, even I will not be able to protect you."

"Yes."

Suarez nodded helplessly.Seeing Suarez's appearance, Rist couldn't help but criticize again: "Remember, don't try to be brave to me. I'm going to find Evra's agent now, and apologize to Evra for you, and hope to get Evra. Forgiveness from Fera. I have to do public relations for Manchester United, I hope Manchester United will not hold on to this matter. If Manchester United really bites you, you will really suffer."

"Evra's agent? It seems that I need to find someone to connect." (To be continued...)
