407 Disgusting Man (I)
"What do you think, Piette?"
When Messi started, because he had a general relationship with his teammates, he had less time to get the ball. But after helping Cardoso score a goal, the Argentine players gradually became more and more willing to give him the ball. A player is one who earns the respect of others on his own.
The Argentine players are all very good players. Including Gago and Cardoso, their passing is also very good. Messi is like a dagger, and he has made a lot of vertical breakthroughs after he came on the field. It messed up Nigeria's already poor defensive line. Messi's breakthrough is like no one.
No wonder Frank praised it so much. This little bit is really good. β
Dvisel nodded. Although he didn't pay much attention to the World Junior Championships, many talented players were indeed able to show their differences at the age of sixteen or seventeen. It's like this is the case with Messi, who came out of nowhere. In the first 60 minutes of the game, the brightest spot was Argentina's Gago. Gagobor is much more dazzling than Cardoso and Mikel, but when Messi appeared, everyone's eyes immediately attracted him.
A game like the World Junior Championship is a game where talent shines. Young players lack skills and tactics, so they are more likely to use their own individual abilities. After Messi came on the field, he immediately made the Nigerian national team's defense break through that was not tight at all.
"Messi, Messi got the ball. Break through, no one can stop Messi. foul, the Nigerian player can only block Messi with a foul. β
"Cardoso, pass...... Messi. Messi got the ball and shot! β
"Two to zero, two to zero."
Although the audience is small, the narrator is still hoarse and trying his best to explain. Before this game, many senior commentators did not know the name Messi. Because although Messi is well-known in Dutch football, he is only in the youth league. Compared with Messi, many of Argentina's national junior team players are talented players in Argentina. I've played some international tournaments, so a lot of commentators still know about it.
However, Messi, who came on as a substitute in this game, attracted everyone's attention. For many laymen, it's more than admiring a midfield core like Gago. They are more focused on attackers like Messi. Because this kind of breakthrough makes people look more spiritual. Messi's breakthrough was unstoppable, and the effect was very obvious.
"Piette, does he look like a young Arjan?"
Looking at Messi, who is becoming more and more active, Rist compares him to the hottest first-day talent Arjen Robben in Eredivisie football. Robben was outstanding. I fell in love with Robben at the beginning. Then it was De Visel who was introduced to Eindhoven.
Dvisel shook his head. Then he said, "No, they're not of the same type. In terms of absolute speed, Messi should not be as good as Alyang, and the breakthrough from the wing is also better than Messi. Aljan is a very good, typical winger. But Messi is different. I think in terms of breakthroughs in small spaces, Messi should be far better than Alyang. β
"Overall, Aryang is good for opening and closing, and he's good for counterattacking. In the winger position, I don't think Alyang is worse than the previous Overmars, even better than him. But Messi? It's still too small. But he's definitely not a winger like Aljan. β
Reesette nodded. Messi and Robben are said to be geniuses of the same level, but the characteristics of the two are also different. Children are children after all, and by the end of the game the young players are tired. The game is gradually not very good-looking, but more and more has become a stage for some players to perform wantonly.
"Piette, what are you going to do after the game? Do you stay in Finland or do you ......?"
Watching that the game was almost over, Rist asked Dvisel.
"Nope. I'm just bored to come and watch the World Junior Championships, but look at the situation left and right. If I stay in Finland, I don't know how many scouts will be affected. β
"Yes. I believe that when the next game starts, there will be twice as many scouts on this side of the World Junior Championships. β
At the end of the game, Lister invited Dvisel to dinner. Rist remained in Finland, while Dvisel left outright. Dvisel said helplessly to Lister that it was impossible to distract himself.
Dvisel was gone, but Rist clearly felt something different. When Argentina played against Nigeria, there weren't a lot of scouts. But by the time of the second game, Rist found that there were several times more scouts. Lister smiled bitterly, these people came here because of the appearance of Lister and Dvisel at the World Junior Championships.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Lister, how can the little World Junior Championship still alarm you. Now let me come over again. β
Carvajal didn't quite understand it in his heart. It's not just that big-name scouts don't care much, but big-name agents don't care much either. Even if many big-name agents poach, they will not choose the players of the World Junior Championships, but the players of the World Youth Championships.
Now Carvajal is busy. Real Madrid have just brought in David Beckham, and every time Real Madrid bring in a superstar player, it causes turmoil in the dressing room. Carvajal, as Real Madrid's most powerful agent, has been busy with this during this time. And Rist and Carvajal worked together to convince the elder Hill to appoint a new coach, who was Carvajal's coach.
These things kept Carvajal busy, and he didn't expect Lister to invite him to Finland. If it were anyone else, no agent Carvajal would have bothered. But Rist called, and Carvajal couldn't wait. That's why I found the time to come to Finland.
"Genes, do you tell me I'm the kind of person who is bored watching games?"
"Your time is precious, I know. But my time is also precious. β
Although Carvajal has some complaints about Rister, he also has some curiosity in his heart. With an agent like Rist, time is money. How can I have time to come and watch the little World Junior Championships.
"Genes, smile, so many people look at you? And I'm looking for you for a good thing. β
There was a lot of contact between the agent and the scout, so Rist and Carvajal were sitting there with a lot of people watching this side. Because Rist and Carvajal are both well-known agents and predators in European football, their appearance at the World Junior Championship is very attractive to everyone.
Hear Rist's words. Carvajal looked left, right, right, left, right. I found that many scouts were looking at this side with an inquiring eye. I can't help it, I can't keep my face strained. That's why Carvajal smiled formulaically.
"What's the good thing? Have you found the ultimate genius here? β
Take things as they come. Now that Carvajal has come to Finland, he has slowly calmed down. Looking at so many scouts next to him, Carvajal was surprised. When did the World Junior Championships start, it received so much attention.
"Yes. Look at the guy sitting in front of us on the left, do you know him? β
"You're talking about Steve. Raleigh? β
Carvajal looked to the left front, looked at it for a long time, and then said a name.
"Yes, that's him. Do you know each other? β
"Of course. I haven't dealt with him, but are there any people in European football who don't know him? β
Although there are many scouts who came today, there are not a few well-known scouts in European football, and they are basically small scouts. But the one sitting in front of Lister and Carvajal to the left is one of the biggest scouts in European football. In the scouting industry in European football, as long as Steve is mentioned. The name Lawley. There is no one who does not know. Even agents like Rist and Carvajal are the same.
This man is Arsenal's chief scout. Helped Arsene Wenger bring in a lot of good players. Arsenal have historically been tightened and the contribution of this man to get through that period has been significant. Players including Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, Sagna and Klich were all recommended to Arsenal by him.
"Do you know who he's watching?"
"Who?"
"Your Spanish junior team Francisco. Cesc Fabregas. β
"Fabregas?"
Carvajal frowned. There are many talented players in the current Spanish national junior team, and among the Spanish players participating in the World Junior Championship this time is Xavi. Garcia, Jurado, David. Silva these players. They are both very strong, and Cesc Fabregas is a year younger than both of them.
Carvajal is a top broker in Spain. They know a little bit about the young talent that is emerging in Spain. Cesc Fabregas is ok. But I didn't hear that he was the best among his peers.
"Gines. I have the inside scoop. I heard that Arsenal's coach Arsene Wenger admired Cesc Fabregas very much, and even thought that Fabregas was the standard template for the core of the midfield in his mind when he planned the future of the team. So Steve. Lawley will appear in the World Junior Championships. Watch the game in Spain. In fact, it was observing Fabregas. β
"Arsenal? Wenger? β
Listening to Lister's news, Carvajal paused and said with a smile: "You don't seem to have a good relationship with Arsenal?" β
"Yes, it's not good. I mainly work with Jerome. Anderson doesn't have a good relationship. β
All those in European football know this, and Rist has nothing to hide. But Rist didn't care: "But I have a relationship with two people. One is Mark Marc, who founded a football school in CΓ΄te d'Ivoire. The other guy is Coach Troussier. I have a very good relationship with them. Do you know what their relationship with Arsenal is? β
Carvajal shook his head. Mark. Culou and Troussier, Carvajal had heard the name before. But I don't know them, and I don't have any contact with them.
"Mark. Kulou used to play with Coach Arsene Wenger. Arsene Wenger used to be an assistant coach when Kulou was the manager. And when Coach Troussier and Coach Wenger got their coaching certificates, they listened to the same class. β
Carvajal nodded. Carvajal and English football have never crossed paths, so Wenger's name is famous, but Wenger's specific connections are not very clear to him. But when Lister said this, Carvajal gave Rist a thumbs up in his heart. Rist and Arsenal do not deal with each other, and there is no business with Arsenal. But he still has such a connection.
"What do you mean......"
"How can a talented player who has the potential to be the heart of Arsenal's midfield in the future let him go." (To be continued......)
