51 A Coru?a(1/2)
For two consecutive days, Riester and Craniotti held several negotiations.
This is the first time List has moved players abroad.
Therefore, many small details are not overlooked.
Each one must be discussed.
Cragnotti admired the concept of loyalty awards proposed by List very much. Although this kind of thing was unreliable, it still provided some small guarantee.
And Riester's meaning is very simple.
As for Nedvěd's salary, List and Cragnotti finally settled on $680,000.
Although it has increased dozens of times compared to what it was in the Czech Republic.
But Riester was still not satisfied.
Because in Italian football now, there are superstars with salaries exceeding two million or even three million. Even the main players of those clubs have salaries exceeding one million dollars.
But Nedved only received $680,000.
This is of course because Nedved is not famous enough.
Players from the Czech Republic.
Riester therefore hopes to supplement Nedved's income with a loyalty award.
If Nedved continues to stay with Lazio starting next season, Lazio will give Nedved a one-year loyalty bonus of US$150,000 after each season.
The length of the contract was also discussed.
This Riester didn't give an inch.
Six years.
Absolutely impossible.
Too long.
List has his own ideas about the contracts of his players. Except for those young players, players like Nedved and Boboski will never accept a contract for more than five years.
Because this will put the players at an absolute disadvantage in subsequent negotiations and transfers.
List insisted on a four-year contract.
In the end both parties reached an agreement.
Riester initialed a contract with Lazio on behalf of Nedved.
It is not a formal contract.
A formal contract needs to wait until Nedved agrees before signing a formal contract.
Four years, an after-tax salary of US$680,000, and a signing fee of US$200,000.
There are also many various minor items in the contract.
But they are not the main ones.
Lister's motivation for signing this contract is simple.
I just believe in Nedved's strength. As long as Nedved can establish himself at Lazio in the future, Riester will have the confidence to ask for better conditions from Lazio.
Similarly, as long as something like the loyalty award comes out, Lister can increase it to a very high amount in the following negotiations.
Lister is quite satisfied with this contract.
Cragnotti Jr. is also satisfied with this contract.
The negotiations with Lazio had just ended, and Riester immediately flew to La Coruna instead of staying in Rome.
Completely different feeling.
All roads lead to Rome.
Rome is not as clean as Rist imagined, but the transportation in Rome is very developed. But when I arrived in A Coruña, my first impression was that the city was very clean.
The buildings on both sides are clearly divided into two types: one is today's new buildings, and the other is a larger number of old buildings that are generally seven or eight stories or even higher. These buildings are next to each other, and red and brown are the main colors.
, and sometimes white. It can be seen from the age numbers embedded in the buildings that these buildings are generally two to three hundred years old, and some are even older. Many of them are full-body carved beams and painted beams, with exquisite workmanship.
Although it doesn't have the same medieval feel as České Budejovice.
However, new buildings and various old buildings still complement each other.
The roads in A Coruna are very clean.
There is almost no conspicuous garbage to be seen.
Of course this is not the only feeling.
Another feeling is that the roads in A Coruna are very narrow.
It's really narrow.
Among the memories Tang Yi brought to Rist, because Tang Yi was from the Northeast, the road in the Northeast was actually like this.
Because there are too many mountains in the Northeast, the roads are not wide.
Whether it is some county roads or some important national highways, the width is very average.
But A Coruña is even more serious.
Riester even felt that it was difficult for two cars to drive side by side on the road in the middle of the city in A Coruña.
Compared with the narrow road, there are many vehicles in A Coruña. Many more than expected, and most of them are private cars.
With so many private cars and such crowded roads, there was no traffic jam.
This also made Liste feel very novel.
Riester's first trip to A Coruña.
Riester's Spanish is not very good.
Because Riester has only been learning Spanish for two years, but basic Spanish is still no problem. Riester went to La Coruna this time just for some preliminary negotiations.
When there are real specific negotiations and many legal issues arise, Lister also needs the help of some professional organizations.
Just like some local sports companies in Spain.
Riester needs their help.
There is no way around this.
Because Rist does not know much about Spanish laws and the hidden rules of Spanish football. When discussing specific issues, Rist needs consultation from these local sports companies.
But this time it was just a simple negotiation.
Therefore, Rist traveled lightly.
After analyzing all aspects, Lister believed that La Coruna was indeed a good place for Boboski.
In terms of technical style, Boboski's style is influenced by Yugoslav football. In a league with a lot of physical collisions like the Premier League and a tight defense like Serie A, it is not in line with Boboski's development.
On the contrary, the open German league and the technical Spanish league are more in line with Boboski's technical style.
And Riester studied Deportivo La Coruña.
A Coruña's history is lackluster.
When List was in China, he only knew Super Depor. He once caused Ancelotti and Milan a huge embarrassment in the Champions League knockout rounds.
Super Laco.
Deportivo was so powerful at that time.
No one in European football underestimates Deportivo.
So much so that Riester has always believed that Deportivo is a very strong club.
I thought A Coruña was a big city.
Because of that kind of interference, Riester's impression of La Liga is that Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Deportivo are ranked lower.
But because Deportivo was interested in Boboski, Lister hurriedly searched for a lot of information about Deportivo. Only then did he realize that Deportivo had little weight in Spanish football.
Nothing at all.
History is completely blank.
Of course, Deportivo also has a Spanish superstar in its history.
He is a youth player of Deportivo La Coruna.
Luis Suarez.
Spain's only local player to win the European Ballon d'Or.
However, as soon as Deportivo de La Coruna trained Suarez, he was taken away by Barcelona. His performance in Barcelona was amazing and he won the European Ballon d'Or. Then he moved to Inter Milan and became an important player in the "Grand Inter Milan" that year.
But that's all.
Deportivo fans can also be proud that they have trained Spanish superstars like Suarez.
