367 Pay cuts

"David, I've paved the way for you. I'm confident in you, but how far you can go depends on your efforts. ”

Within a few days, Rist helped Villa get the matter of moving to Deportivo La Coruna. As soon as the winter comes, Villa will move to Deportivo La Coruna. Villa is very satisfied with Rist's speed, and one or two strokes have already helped him get the La Liga team. Deportivo La Coruna is now financially difficult, but it still retains the team of a strong team, and it is still a strong team in La Liga. In terms of ability and connections, Rist is indeed better than his previous agent. It should be said that the two people are not brokers of the same grade at all.

"Yes."

"David, you don't have grades yet, so the salary is relatively low. But that's not a problem. As long as you work hard, you don't have to worry about salary. Because your salary is higher, my income will increase. I'm more anxious than you are in this regard. ”

"Huh."

Listening to Rist's words, Villa just smiled. Since working with Lister, Villa has also found a lot of information about Lister. Weishenme said that it is not as convenient for the head coach to collect black money as before, that is, the information is too developed now, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be called to break it. Rist is already low-key enough that he will not appear in front of the media at all.

Whatever Rist wants to say, he relies on the media people he is familiar with. Rist has been in football for so many years and has a lot of connections with very haode reporters. Even when it was necessary to come forward, it was the people under the Rist company who spoke. It's a lot that Riester is able to be interviewed three or four times a year. But Rist's information is still not a big secret.

Although some secret things will not come out, most of Lister's information is still very public. If only no one had looked carefully. Of course it is impossible to know about Rist. But when someone really wants to know about Riester's information, it's easy to find. This was the case with Villa, who wanted to know more about Lister and easily found most of the information.

After reading it, he had a thorough understanding of Rist's strength. This is the agent predator who is known as the current No. 1 agent in European football, and there are countless good players under his hands. How much Rist is worth is a lot of speculation. But Rist's net worth of more than 100 million is absolute, and many people are very sure. There is even speculation that Rist's net worth exceeds 200 million. Anyway, no matter how much, Rist is definitely a very wealthy agent.

Therefore, Villa can be sure that his salary is not worth it at all. So listening to Rist's words can only laugh.

"David. Atletico Madrid's Fernando. I was Torres' agent when he was fifteen. It's been more than three years now. In just three years, I've already made five million euros from him. ”

Just talk about Torres Rist and get excited. Torres completely fell from the sky. Because Torres was so famous at Atletico Madrid, Rister didn't think about him at all. But he ran to Lister on his own. And the old Hill really loves Torres, and Rist has really made money on Torres for more than three years. Recently, Rist and Atletico have started discussions about Torres' new contract. Do not extort more than four million. Even five million euros Riester will never renew his contract.

Except for the salary. The commercial value of Torres is high. Torres is only eighteen years old now, and he has already generated such a high profit for Rist. Rist's idea is very simple, Torres should generate 30 or 40 million euros for himself in his life.

"David. Actually, I expect the same from you as Fernando. Your current salary is 400,000 euros, and I hope that next year your salary will be 2 million euros, the year after next will be 3 million euros, and the year after next you will be 4 million euros. Three years later, it was six million euros. However, these salaries require your hard work. ”

A salary of several million euros may seem like a lot, but in fact, the amount of money that Riester can get is still limited. Rist has already begun to consider the commercial value of Villa. All Rist was thinking about how to make Villa a cash cow. Although Villa started late, Rist wants Villa to create enough value for himself.

"Doodoo-"

Rist's cell phone rang in his arms as he cheered Villa up. Rist took it out and looked at it, and it turned out to be Rist's beloved general Rosicky. Rosicky is a brand of Czech football, after all, he is the most talented player in Czech football for so many years. However, in order to focus on the launch of Nedved, it actually made players such as Rosicky and Pobosky suffer some grievances.

But Rist had his own arrangements for Rosicky. Now the representative of Czech football is Nedved, so Rosicky's popularity has been suppressed for the time being. But when it comes to the future of Nedved and Poboski, Rosicky is the leading figure in Czech football. When the time comes, you can bring out the old things and brag about them again.

Just like after this Shijie Cup, Rist opened all his media resources to tout Nedved. It's as if the Czech Republic won the Shijie Cup by Nedved. But after a few years, when Nedved retired, Rist could get back to the picture. When the time comes, he is bragging about Rosicky with this result.

This is a very common technique in shijie football. Historically, the Brazilian trio performed well in the shijie cup, but all the media at the time unanimously boasted about Ronaldo. Finally touted Ronaldo to the top. But three or four years later, when Ronaldinho was at his peak, the media once again took out the South Korea-Japan Shijie Cup record to boast about Ronaldinho.

At Ronaldo's peak, Ronaldinho, including Rivaldo, who performed very well, was a foil for Ronaldo in front of the media. But when Ronaldinho starts to make a difference, of course, everyone will have to re-examine his performance back then. Without the interference of Ronaldo, everyone will evaluate Ronaldinho's outstanding performance in the Shijie Cup more objectively.

This is the case with Rosicky now. Because Nedved was at the pinnacle of integrity, everyone gave Nedved all the credit. After that, there was no Nedved. Without human interference, re-examine Rosicky's performance in the process of winning this Shijie Cup, and people will think that Rosicky is really good.

"Thomas, what's wrong?"

Rist and Rosicky knew each other earlier. Unlike Nedved and Poboski, Rist knew Rosicky at a very young age and raised him beside him from an early age. Therefore, Rosicky can almost be said to have grown up watching Liester, so Rister is very casual with Rosicky.

"What?"

Rist stood up, his face a little ugly. Then he thought for a moment and said, "Thomas, you talk to Karel, Malek, Milo and a few others. Don't be in the middle of the meeting, neither in opposition nor in favor. A few of you told me in unison that you want to go back and think about it. Drag me anyway. I absolutely can't agree before I go back. I'll be right over now. ”

After turning off the phone, Rist couldn't help but curse "Niang Xipi". Dortmund was so inauthentic that they suddenly called a meeting of the players. The meeting was held to cut salaries, including bonuses.

Lister was able to think of Dortmund's ideas. The salary of the players varies from club to club. Some clubs prefer to pay their annual salary directly at the beginning of the season, some clubs prefer to pay it once every six months, and some clubs even pay it once a month. Dortmund is sent semi-annually. Borussia Dortmund's current player salary is more than 70 million euros. In Germany, it is a relatively high salary. Just below Bayern Munich. It's not even a very low salary in European football as a whole.

The salary for the first half of the season they have already given. And the salary for the second half of the season will be paid in January. The salary in the first half of the season was not a problem for Dortmund to scrape together, and there was even money to buy Frings. It's a pity that Dortmund was wiped out in the Champions League group stage, and the current results are not very good. Revenues were much lower than expected. And Dortmund owes too much debt, although the interest cannot be said to be usury, it is also a rolling interest, anyway, Dortmund feels the economic pressure.

That's why they're thinking about a pay cut at this time. However, their club did not notify the player's agent and held a meeting with the player. This is simply too obvious, it is to use public opinion to suppress the players. If anyone disagrees at this time, they can crown the player as "death or not save", which is very bad for the player's image.

Dortmund is just too bad. Wage reduction? Reduced bonuses? I thought these agents were all paper sticky. However, Rist can already see from this incident that Dortmund's economic situation has reached a very serious point.

After the bankruptcy of the Kirsch Group, there are already clubs in the Bundesliga that have started to cut salaries. That is, Leverkusen started working on this as early as after the Shijie Cup. Bayer Leverkusen has already left Ballack in the summer, but still cut the player's salary by 20% due to financial reasons. Rist didn't expect to get to Dortmund so soon.

"David, I'm sorry. I am in a hurry and need to leave Spain. Don't worry, I've already arranged your affairs. In the future, the company will have a special person to contact you. ”

…………

"Called Rist, what did he say?"

There are circles in any society. Even within a large circle there will be a small circle, and even within a small circle there will be a smaller circle. As long as there are people in society, this situation is inevitable.

The same is true of the Dortmund club, the Brazilian gang led by Dede and Amoruso, the local gang led by Warnes, Kyle, and Metzelde, and the Czech gang represented by Pobosky, Rosicky, and Jankulovski. In addition to these three gangs, there are also some lone players. As for Klose, because he is a player of the German national team, he has a good relationship with the German local gang. But because he became famous in the Czech Republic and has the same agent as the Czech Gang, his relationship with the Czech Gang is not bad.

On this occasion, Klose is sitting with the Czechs. In terms of friendship, Klose has known Yankulovsky and Rosicky for many years, and they have known each other since they were nineteen years old, and they have known each other for more than six years. And the main problem today is money, so it was natural for Klose to sit with the Czechs.

Several people are in a bad mood at the moment. It's not just a few of them, even those local gangs are not in a good mood. As the saying goes, getting in the way of people's wealth is like killing parents. Now the club is blatantly forcing them to take a pay cut, and everyone is angry.

There is only one person who behaves more normally among these people, and that is Borussia Dortmund veteran Warnes. Thirty-year-old Warnes is the most open-minded. Although it did not come out in support of the proposal, it was also very quiet. And the most intense reaction is Amorusso and Dede. They came out of Brazil to play to make money, and now they are in their prime, when they don't make money. So they are directly opposed.

As for the Czech gang, plus Klose are all players with relatively high salaries at Dortmund at present. And because they are both brokers, Liliang is relatively large. Of this group of players, Pobosky is the oldest and most knowledgeable. Poboski is currently the highest-paid player in Dortmund and the most famous player in Dortmund. So Pobosky asked Rosicky to go out quietly and give Rist a call to see what Rist meant.

He said don't object, don't agree. Just tell the club to go back and think about it. ”

"What he meant was that we didn't want to be the first birds."

Jan Kulovsky simply said what Rister meant. Pobosky is the biggest, but he is more peaceful and does not mix with anything. Rosicky is too talented and has some pride. Klose is even more low-key, only the Yankulovsky people are smart. And Jankulovsky is a very righteous person, so he is very happy in the Dortmund dressing room.

"With Dede and Amoruso opposed, this matter cannot be passed today. We're not going to do anything today, just let Rist come over and decide. ”

In fact, Dede and Amoruso are just the first birds, and the Brazilian players led by them are against it. Even Kyle and Metzelde, who are part of the local gang, are against it. It's just that they are local players, so it's not good to make a strong statement at this time, so they can only express their opposition very tactfully. Anyway, there are already two people on top, Dede and Amoruso, and they don't need a hard top.

While Pobosky was watching from the sidelines, Meyer was already very angry. The club is in such a difficult situation, none of these players have any worries for the club. Aside from head coach Summer's willingness to cut his own salary, and Warnes is not against it, no one is in favor of it.

The salaries of these players at Borussia Dortmund are high. Usually enjoying such a high salary, now that the club is in trouble, no one wants to think about the club. He set his sights on Pobosky's group. Among them, Pobosky and Rosicky both enjoy salaries of more than three million euros, and Jankulovsky and Klose both have annual salaries of almost two million euros. The combined annual salary of the four of them is more than 10 million euros. It is the bulk of Dortmund's salary.

But he found out. The four men had been quiet since they came in, and they didn't say anything. Neither for nor against. Meyer was really helpless. He had been planning a surprise attack, but it didn't seem to work. In fact, he would rather deal with these players than with their agents.

"Lister. Cherny's phone. ”

Just as Mayer was about to say something to impress the players, a staff member came to Mayer's ear and whispered. Mayer originally wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he still took the phone from the staff's hand. While holding his phone, Mayer looked at Pobosky's side. He believed they must have secretly called Lister.

"I'm Michael. Meyer. ”

"Hello Michael. I'm Lister. Cherny, long time no see. I'm on my way to Dortmund right now, so we'll have a good talk then. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Meyer's face was ugly when he hung up the phone. Because he knows that Rist is not easy to deal with, and now Dortmund is in a storm, and it is even more difficult to deal with Rist. (To be continued......)
