'Mark, you also follow Chelsea's game?'
I had just watched the Chelsea game and when I came out to receive Marc. Roger's phone. Mark. Roger told Rist on the phone that he was at Stamford Bridge and wanted to meet him.
"Come and see. Villas-Boas is known as Mourinho's second, the number one coach in European football at the moment, so of course I'm going to come and see him. ”
Although it is the words of praise Boas, but from Mark. Roger's mouth came out with utter contempt. Mark. Roger apparently didn't care about Boas at all. Even the corners of his mouth were obviously sneering.
Mark. Roger is in a good mood because Villas-Boas's results at Chelsea are getting worse and worse. It was Villas-Boas' fifth defeat in two months and Chelsea's table plummeted. Seeing Boas unlucky, Mark. Roger was also very happy.
"You really are."
Rist shook his head. Then he smiled and said: "Tell me, how can you have time to watch Chelsea games." ”
"It's not Nikolai's business yet."
"Anelka?"
"Yes."
Anelka's agents are his two older brothers, but Mark Anderson is the only one who is represented by his older brothers. Roger and Anelka have a deep relationship. When Anelka came to Arsenal, it was Wenger who relied on his contacts in France, including the coach of Paris Saint-Germain at the time, and the French agent Marco. Roger's relationship. Anelka was able to move to Arsenal at a low price. Roger's contribution was significant. Mark. Roger also naturally became Arsenal's collaborator at that time, and Arsenal's French gang had a lot to do with him.
Anelka later moved to Real Madrid. It's by Mark. Roger runs in two places. Of course, because of this transfer, Mark. Roger and Arsenal began to fall out. He also had a good relationship with Real Madrid and ended up in Florentino's advisory team.
"What? Operate his transfer? ”
"Yes. Recently, I met a big financier who was willing to give an annual salary of 7 million euros and asked Nikolai to endorse their products. In the end, the annual income is more than 10 million euros. ”
With an income of more than 10 million euros, this is the top in world football. At present, there are very few people in European football who earn more than 10 million euros a year, even if they have an annual salary of more than 10 million euros before tax. There are only a handful of players who earn more than 10 million euros a year before taxes in the Premier League.
"China?"
"How do you know?"
Mark. Roger was surprised. Although the media has been reporting on Anelka's future recently, no one knows exactly what is the Chinese club. Because there was so much news, I didn't expect Rist to say it at once.
"Shanghai Shenhua?"
"You're god."
Mark. Roger opened his mouth wide. Although I talked with Shenhua for a lot of time. But these are very secret negotiations. Shenhua also did not want to make a direct announcement. Shenhua also wanted some sensational effect. Most of the agreements between the two sides have just been reached recently, and I didn't expect Rist to know.
And the important thing is Shanghai Shenhua, which may be a giant in China. But it's not a in world football, and no one in European football knows that there is a club like Shenhua in China. I didn't expect Rist to break it down.
"Of course. In European football, if you talk about the understanding of Chinese football. No one is better at it than I am. Mark. Nothing can be hidden from me in Chinese football. ”
In Mark. Roger said that Anelka had met the big moneymaker. Rist understands who it is, only Shanghai Shenhua. The introduction of Anelka in the history of Shanghai Shenhua can be said to have caused a sensation in the entire Chinese football world.
When it was announced in history that Anelka had joined Shenhua. In one day, there was a huge storm on the Chinese Internet. On the list of hot topics on Sina Weibo, "Anelka joins the Chinese Super League" has nearly 1 million messages, and Tencent Weibo's messages have reached 67 million. In a poll conducted by the Shanghai hotline Shenhua Channel on "Can Anelka help Shenhua win the championship", nearly 5,000 fans participated in the vote, and more than 60% of the fans chose "definitely can". It can be seen that Chinese fans are hungry for world-class stars.
"Why, it's over."
"Yes. Just after the talks, Nikolai joined the Shenhua club during the winter transfer. ”
"Yes, it's a good thing. Chinese football has indeed been rich in recent years and has been able to offer a sufficient salary. Recently, I have also played in China and am currently the top scorer in the Chinese league. He is only 22 years old this year and earns $4 million a year after tax. There is no other place in European football that can offer such high wages. ”
Rist is talking about Theo, who is currently playing at Evergrande. His characteristics are really outstanding in the Chinese league, and his performance after coming to the Chinese Super League is very good. At the end of the 2011 season, Theo scored 21 goals in the Chinese Super League and became the top scorer in the Chinese Super League. In the FA Cup, four goals were scored and a total of 25 goals were scored in a season.
Evergrande is also not stingy, as long as the performance is good, it will give enough salary. Theo's salary has changed from a salary of only two million dollars at the beginning to an annual salary of four million dollars after taxes. Of course, this salary was just negotiated between Lister and Evergrande. Among his twenty-two-year-old peers, there are not many who earn more than Theo. Even those talented players who are in the big clubs don't have these annual salaries. It can be seen how bold the Chinese league is now.
And at present, China's economic development is too fast, Theo and they play in China, not only to get a high salary. Like Theo, he became the darling of Guangzhou fans in a short period of time. It is easy to get the favor of local companies in Guangzhou and get a lot of commercial endorsement advertisements.
"Lister, I'm looking for you because Shenhua wants to find you."
"What, they have a crush on my players?"
"Yes."
Mark. Roger came over this time to match. Looking at Rist, he said: "Didier, Didier's situation at Chelsea has not been good lately. Shenhua hopes to bring in Didier. ”
"Shenhua? Didier. ”
Rist laughed. Zhu Jun has a lot of appetite and wants to bring in Drogba and Anelka one after another. Speaking of Zhu Jun, he has good ability, but after the introduction of Drogba and Anelka in history, the salary arrears scandal finally boiled. Drogba even left directly, because he did not receive his salary for three months, and finally terminated his contract automatically.
In the end, in the face of the investigation, Zhu Jun said something ridiculous. He said to the media: "We don't owe wages, we just haven't been able to pay our salaries in time, it's just that we paid them late." ”
made the Chinese football at that time discredited in the world. Rist is ready to contact the Chinese league and let Drogba go to the Chinese league to make money, but Shanghai Shenhua is excluded.
Therefore, he smiled and said, "How much money is Shenhua willing to give?" I sent Didier to China, of course, to get the best salary. The person you're talking to is Zhu Jun, he's a gamemaker, and he's not a major shareholder of Shenhua, I don't believe him. ”
"They said the pay would not be low."
"I know. But Marc, Didier doesn't mean the same thing to me. If I let him play in China, it's definitely not just for the sake of playing. What I need, Zhu Jun can't give it to a person who makes games. ”
To treat Drogba as a player is a waste of Drogba's special status in Côte d'Ivoire. Rist wants to build Drogba into a brand, a brand that represents Côte d'Ivoire, and make him a friendly bridge between China and Côte d'Ivoire. To accomplish this, Lister doesn't need Zhu Jun.
Recently, Rist has begun to make contact with Ivorian politicians. Côte d'Ivoire is a traditional French sphere of influence, and two years ago there was a civil war between the two sides over the presidential election. France also sent troops to help the incumbent President of Côte d'Ivoire, Ouattara, defeat another candidate. But the impact of the civil war on Côte d'Ivoire was significant.
Ouattara has been having a lot of headaches lately. Although France has provided 400 million euros in emergency special aid, for Côte d'Ivoire, a population of 24 million, this amount of money can at best restore the normal work of the government. For the development of Côte d'Ivoire, it is a drop in the bucket.
Rister wanted to see Drogba as a symbol of friendship between the two countries, and Ivorian politicians strongly agreed. Even Ivorian President Ouattara's office had people come to talk to Lister. Now Côte d'Ivoire needs money, international money. At present, China is the only one that can support Côte d'Ivoire on a large scale. Therefore, they hope to get help from China and strengthen their relations with China. Liester's proposal to win relationships with football won their affection. They are willing to make Drogba an iconic player for Ivory Coast.
"Then you ......"
"I want to work with the Chinese government. Find a government-backed club. Shanghai Shenhua is not qualified enough. ”
"Huh."
Mark. Roger shook his head, not knowing what to say. Speaking of which, when Mark. When Roger was running rampant in French and English football, Rist was still a country agent who had just left the Czech Republic. Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed, and the business that Lister has done is beyond his reach.
Just after talking to Shenhua, Mark. Roger was still very proud. After all, Mark. After Roger talks with Shenhua this time, Anelka's after-tax salary can even enter the top five in world football. To be able to make Anelka, who was at the end of his career, reach such a high salary, Mark. How could Roger be unexpected.
But looking at Rist in front of him, he could only sigh. Mark. Roger already understood what Rist meant. What Lister wants is more than just buying and selling players, and he wants much more than just ordinary player transfers. This is to participate in the game, to use the players to connect the relationship between the two countries.
"Rister, I see what you mean."
"You helped me turn back on Shenhua's side. Just help me tell them that I haven't thought about Didier's future yet. ”
"Okay." (To be continued......)
