World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 555: The New Theory of Football Predators
In the VIP seats in the stands, there are two important predators in the international football transfer market.

One of them is Jorge Mendes, a star in football management and a minority shareholder in Maritimo.

The other is a bald, fat old man who looks benevolent, but anyone who is familiar with the international football investment and transfer market knows that this is a super boss who can really call the shots.

He is Jonathan Barnett, the boss of Stellar Football Ltd, the world's largest football agent company!

Jonathan Barnett has just been selected by Forbes as the world's highest-paid football agent, while Mendes beside him can only be ranked third.

Stellar Football Ltd has 530 players from all over the world, covering major leagues in Europe and South America.The classic cases that have worked are the transfer of Ashley Cole from Arsenal to city rival Chelsea in 2006; and the transfer of Bell from Tottenham to Real Madrid at a world-record price in 2013.

However, in recent years, the company has not had any particularly famous stars. There are only second-rate European stars such as Szczesny, Luke Shaw, and Mason Mount.

Barnett also wants to sign superstars, but these years international football has already withered superstars, and those top-notch top stars are hidden like treasures by their respective agency companies. If you want to snatch them, they will definitely fight with your life.The brokerage companies of superstars must also be giants, and when a giant meets a giant, it must be bloody.

Therefore, Barnett decided to adjust his strategy. If I can't sign superstars, I will sign young talents who may become top superstars in the future.

Maritimo and Salzburg Red Bull are currently two teams in European football that gather young talents, and they are arsenals that supply talents to wealthy teams.Of course, he has to pay attention to the direct contest between these two teams.

As far as he knew, not only himself, but his company's main competitor, Team Wass, and Raiola and other agents also sent personnel to watch the game on the spot.

Of course, not to mention, the Portuguese vampire Mendez and his GESTIFUTE company beside him!
Barnett looked at both sides of the game on the court and sighed: "So many outstanding young people! I haven't been in the same game for many years, and I have seen so many young talents competing in the same field!"

Mendes gave him a blank look, his colleagues are enemies, not to mention, what he did is bigger than himself!He doesn't mind hitting this old man who likes to steal his business if he has the chance.

"Jonathan, it looks very envious! It's a pity that most of the outstanding players here are famous and famous! I advise you to give up your heart, go on vacation, and enjoy your old age!"

Barnett snorted coldly, "As far as I know, most of the outstanding players here are signed by a Chinese agency called Yuanshuai Sports! Chinese? They have done a good business these years, but football? Haha, there is still a desert!"

Mendes curled his lips and cursed "arrogant British guy" in his heart.He reminded: "This time you are thinking wrong! Although this is a Chinese company, their decision-makers are not simple! Let me tell you a secret, Maritimo's head coach Gao Yuan is one of the main shareholders of this company! Do you think that with him, you can pry any player away from Maritimo? Besides, I am also a shareholder of Maritimo.

Barnett said disdainfully: "How powerful can a Chinese young man with no hair grow? Maybe we will sign him too!"

Mendez smiled gloatingly, "If you want to try it, go for it! However, as an old friend, I still have to remind you, don't be sold by him and count the money for him!"

As an insider, Barnett has of course heard of Gao Yuan's "brilliant deeds". Although he doesn't believe that a Chinese boy under 30 years old can be so powerful, he will not really take it lightly.He sneered, and retorted: "I'm not like some people. After being put together by others, I still stick to them and beat them up!"

Mendes didn't take it seriously, "We are all businessmen, business is business, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!"

The game was fierce on the court, and the two big men in the VIP seat also fought fiercely.

Seeing that Niu Gensheng once again blocked Huang Xican's single shot with an unconventional move, and didn't even let the opponent shoot, Barnett couldn't help applauding along with the audience!
"Unbelievable, great! Although there are many excellent players on the field, these two goalkeepers played the best in this game! Their future is in the giants, and I will sign them at all costs!"

Barnett seems to have blurted it out, but in fact, he said this to Mendes, which means that these two people are mine, so don't snatch them!
Mendes snorted coldly, "Niu Gensheng, you don't have to think about it! He is a handsome man! You can't poach him. As for Cleninson? Hehe, I'm also very interested in him!"

Actually, Mendes wasn't quite telling the truth.At the beginning, in order to acquire Jiang Jianzhang’s equity in time, Gao Yuan asked Mendes to take a share. The condition promised at that time was that GESTIFUTE could own 30% of the dividend income (not ownership) of the Chinese players under Maritimo Yuanshuai Sports.

In other words, if Niu Gensheng transfers to a wealthy club in the future, then 30% of his brokerage commission will go to GESTIFUTE!
However, Barnett's attention was all attracted by the second half of Mendes' sentence.

"Cleninson is mine! I advise you not to ask for trouble! I am willing to pay any price for him, he is worth the price! In my hands, he will become the best goalkeeper in the world!" Barnett roared.

Mendes knows that if he fights hard, he may not be the opponent of the rich and powerful Barnett.But he didn't want to lose face, and said with a sneer, "Clemingsen is good, but the world's number one goalkeeper? Haha, ask Niu Gensheng on the opposite side if he agrees?"

"Awful? He's good! He's quick to react, agile, and able to make many unimaginably difficult saves, but his basic skills and skills are too poor! It restricts his development, let alone the best in the world, and it's hard to say whether he can perform stably even if he goes to a wealthy family in the future!" Barnett has read countless people and made his own judgment based on experience.

Mendes, of course, has to protect his own players (though only 30% dividend rights).

"Jonathan, you are really old-sighted! Skills and basic skills can be practiced, but physical instinct and agility are engraved in the DNA! Besides, what is technology, it is just the effective experience summed up by the predecessors! A true genius does not need to be bound by such things as experience and technology! For goalkeepers, being able to block the ball out of the goal is skill! Cleninson, yes, but he is just a good traditional goalkeeper! Niu Gensheng is different. A person who enters the annals of history!"

Barnett looked at Mendez in shock, wanting to see if his colleague was crazy, or if he really thought so.

Of course, he didn't know that Gao Yuan and Mendes reached a private agreement, and he didn't know that Niu Gensheng was part of his property.If he knew, he wouldn't be surprised by what Mendes said.After all, as a football agent, bragging is a basic skill. In order to sell his players, he has boasted more exaggerated and louder bragging to buyers!
The crux of the problem is that he doesn't know the relationship between Mendes and Niu Gensheng, so he thinks this may be what the other party is thinking.Who is Mendes, his vision is one of the best in football!If the other party really sees it that way, then I really have to re-evaluate the future development of these two goalkeepers!

Mendes felt a little guilty when he was watched by Barnett. Could it be that his bragging is a bit too much? !The remarks just now, in addition to safeguarding the value of his own property, were also intended to anger Barnett.This set of theories is very novel, and the time when it was so novel that it was formed was about the moment when I opened my mouth.

However, after saying this, Mendes was also a little surprised, what an attractive set of sales pitches!In the future, if you use this theory to promote Niu Gensheng, you will definitely be able to sell tens of millions of euros more!
Well, cow, you have to live up to it!The performance is worthy of this set of rhetoric!
