Selling jerseys is perhaps the biggest business in football, to Agent Zka

Your profession is to help athletes break into the world. Is a bag to get into the world, for example, a universal goal for a football player? Does he even want there?
Not at all. Normally, we can honor that a lot of games are happy at home. They want to stay with the local league and are completely satisfied. Don’t want to learn foreign languages, get used to a new environment. I will not believe such a way out, I have to want to go alone. And you just aren’t from football to the tops of the world. Someone can dig for you for Slovakia, five weeks to trnink, otherwise go around Hraditi to the cafes to watch the girls. And it’s absolutely in the horseshoe. For a lot of other boys, it’s a dream to play in the big European leagues or you in the American Major League Soccer. And tm with that dream pomhm.

She legend about how an agent helps a talented hope to develop sports pbh, fulfill a dream, listen nicely. How much of that do you have?
In football, it’s a classic business relationship, for the commission. dn hr nen rd, when someone touches his pension, it is also between sellers and buyers, between clubs. And representing the agent enough percent. Somewhere, for example in Germany, it is clearly a given 10 percent. Elsewhere, it can be a contract, catch. At the same time, it is true that in football the Czech Republic and Slovakia are the export market. There is a great effort to show the game in big competitions, for example in the deposit box of European Cups, and then sell them. This is how I had the opportunity to bring Martin Dbravka’s pest to Newcastle for six million pounds (about 180 million crowns).

See. Normln mortals of those numbers for transfers hr ds. Is there any logic in these gigantic sums, a reason, isn’t it just a bubble?
Think like the case of Brazilian Neymara, who went from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain for 222 million euros?

Prv. It’s always almost six billion crowns! Is it worth it at all?
Urit. It wants to grind the bag in the long run. With such a diversion, the whole club sent sportsmen, and in the UEFA Champions League, the city semi-final gave me a quiet win for a year. Also, those pensions get back.

In addition, the stars sell out of the stands.
Yes, but not only that, it doesn’t. At the same time, Neymar is making the club attractive for various Czech and American partners, because the clubs receive invitations to summer and winter conferences. And who is visually interesting, popular in the world, the most popular jersey.

Talk about selling club T-shirts to fans? What is business?
It seems like a mess, but it’s probably the biggest business in football ever. Penetrate with the sale of jerseys to the nsk or indian market? Piece for $ 40? Even if only a tenth of the two billion people there bought them, let’s get into astronomical villages. The club, which is attractive thanks to the interesting game, is also a much better first and broadcast time from television. Playing like Neymar or Ronaldo is for the club an investment with a solid return. Misunderstood at the club and pensions.

Understandable. Because the billions of billions clubs don’t play
Of course. Who has stadiums full of stadiums? Sparta, Slavia and Plze. When 1,200 paying girls meet for a tribunch in Pbrami, for example, the owner has to go to work. What a long difference. Financially Czech cubs cost 80 and 90 percent on the shoulders of the owner. In England, the owner of dv about 10 percent of the cost. A separate chapter is the foreign owner and investors, such as oil magnts from the land of the Persian Gulf. When cpt Qatar pensions to Paris Saint-Germain or ejk from Emirt to Manchester City, it crashes the whole market. It is not regular. So FIFA is trying to introduce some kind of financial fair play, so that clubs only buy games for which they will realize themselves, but it doesn’t work very well. The business around football is a bag under iv, don’t stop.

Someone is sad abroad, he needs to breed a dog

What’s the longest thing about your job?
You must be still active, face the challenges, look for new areas and games. Lots of vdt, vidt, under travel. Nobody knows that, overall, there is a huge supply of games over demand. Clubs can choose. Maj cel tosy sestih a nabdek hr. My job is for the club director, when looking for a new tonka, to find the person I represent at the top. He must be of good quality, honestly thorn, with a pull on goal. When I finish such, my put one with such a club built on depth two.

There’s a bag of course to go to hr
Yes. Soccer player, athlete, star who wants to push the boundaries. I have a contract with me: Negotiate with my existing club about better conditions, look for a new club for me to improve my life. It’s not just about pensions, but also about sports growth. When you can preserve someone in one club, I will eventually lose my motivation, burn for the game. Needs jt dl.

How do you know that you’ve been in the club for a long time?
For example, in 2007, after the finals of the world championships, the owners of our clubs did not estimate the first moment and ran out for a variety of games that were at the top. They had performance, but because the clubs did not let them into the world, they gradually lost their motivation and, if mentally and their results, down to the average. In general, games from Africa are very susceptible to this phenomenon. See the cavalry on the way, but the fact that the club will not let you go, is your own soul. They’re pretty good. And in this, a good agent must fight for the game. Be in touch with them, watch their tracks.

Dl agent i dal vci?
Sometimes for the game and athletes ete marketing, relationships with the media. Lots of things are just about psychology, tell me what you’re doing. Someone is sad abroad, someone needs to breed a dog, a wife. Cultivate the apartment. Someone needs twenty pr diggers for free. The contract with the game is not for life, but you have to take care of it as if it were for life. In order to be cool, he lacked nothing, he could thorn and give the best performance. So he can experience.

I had no doubt with Martina Sblkov from the very beginning

And do you know in advance that the young boy who, after juniors, bh after a trek, will start one day?
Ned can get to know it fully, just guess. In order for anyone to get to the top in sports, there must be a combination of talent, skin and, in a way, test. There are a lot of athletes who have only some of it and often don’t develop it for long. If you are born with talent, it’s actually a small party. I have to work hard, I have to chtt. That’s why I didn’t represent, for example, some young players in football, because even though clubs worked their way around the national team and around them, I didn’t have the impression that they were morally upset. If you stay on top for a long time.

Impression? Take children for their own feelings, not for statistics?
I have to take both so I don’t get lost. But it’s good for me to sit down with the athlete now, take a look at him and meet him so that I can recognize him as a hunter. That’s the point, you see it there. When I talked to thirteen-year-old Martina Sblková and her coach Novek, I had no doubts.

How is that?
When you see the long speed skating step in the children’s room on the boards, while her competitors German, American, Dutch, Canaanite stabbed in the highlands of the ice, and she then gave them a pardon forgiveness. dinou, that she did not give up. And that was the case with the vice-champion Roman Ebrle or the jumping world champion for the juniors of Roman Koudelka, the skiff Ondej Synek. On the statistics, of course, so bad, especially in football, but you need to compare the results with the age and burn of the game. To put it in balance.

Mete to piblit?
When tonk in the metal league costs us 40 gl, it can be me. But then you see that the EU is physically mature, a head in the face of an adversary, in my thirteen years my hair is like a bedun and the rest of the technology and art, but by the fact that it hits the ground, understand that it will not be interesting. Because what determines football day? Speed, dexterity, one-on-one play. And he will be 20 years old, his current strength will level off and it will be slower, so bad. Mostly salary, eu footballer between the ages of fifteen and eighteen know what they will one day.

Are there any exceptions?
Of course, there are games that mature later in quality. Martin Jirnek got to the southern Italian Reggina at the age of twenty-one, five years later, and before that change he played the regional championship for Radotn. Or Radek rl, went to Rudna until he was twenty, and suddenly he was in St. Petersburg. The boy who was in his twenties digging behind the village and for deprivation, and you are in the world, was not very small.

Unpaid wages? That sounds like football gates

How much do you pay for your business and your word?
I do not want to name the country, the city or the specific club, but as an example: One club owner was a lot of time and did not have much time for me. We also met instead of the office in the subway. We went to about five stations, in the meantime they agreed on the conditions of the game, the conditions of the club, our commission. They shook hands and that was it.

Does it work that way?
It worked like this, not today. At the same time, it fully stood. Or do it like this, with people who could be treated straight out years ago, you can be treated similarly now. I will change you Honza Nezmar, today a very good sports director of Slavia. For ten years he was, among other things, a football prisoner, I gave him an agent. Let’s know each other, let’s face it from each other, and that’s where it really pays.

It looks pretty idyllic
In the Czech Republic or in prominent foreign clubs, the number of staff is often less frequent. And when me, people for me. Josef Jinoch, whom I represented driving like a game, was the sports director of Liberec. Then he was the sports director of Jihlava and he is the sports director of Boleslav. That is the positive example. Only in football today is it really a great pension and there are a lot of new people around it. The hunter sometimes has to be careful.

How can these problems take shape?
We have concluded contracts with clubs, which promise interesting conditions during the mediation of the game, but sometimes it is not fulfilled. And they are quite uncollectible receivables. It is similar with contracts for the game, it is nicely painted, but the pensions are suddenly not. Also, for example, you may not receive a salary. In a bit of an effort to help FIFA with the rule that when a three-month club is not valid, on the first day of the fourth month I can announce by registered letter that the event will be transferred elsewhere as if released. But it is not unusual for such a club to meet on the 89th day in the pension board for a game, for example, for only one MSc, and it will not get out just like that.

What clubs are we talking about?
I don’t want to mention specific clubs, but I will be so geographically incorrect and reveal that it is a mountain to the south.

These are one with clubs. But what about the game?
Representing a football player is like a good, dwindling organism. There is a good reflection of the time of day, because nothing is stable. When I represented Peter Echo, I was 100% sure that if someone called him and told him, he would say to him: No, thank you, Mr. Zku. Today will not be the day to avoid the game: Fuck your agent, I’ll give you England in a year, but I have to tell him and I have to sign the contract with me. Today it’s globlnj, relaxed, me personal. M fr. And someone will succumb to me.

You don’t like this game?
No. You may be in a hurry once, but ruin your name below. And football is high, I would say immortal. Business partners have a good memory. Offend someone one day and it goes with you. All this is based on the darkness of agreement and cooperation of all the victims. When you pee a cake, you have to settle for the fact that it is spread, for example, on pt st. Because once you trip someone, pt will be pci without vs.

You’ve been in business as an agent for twenty-one years, celebrate the edest. Don’t retire?
I didn’t hear that for the first time. Vte, mm two sons, David and Filip, and both of them continue to work. dn lubricators, pushed themselves into the gate themselves. This is kadho tty’s dream. For you, the dwarfs of Dbravka or Patrik Hroovsky from Pilsen, they did it themselves for themselves. They are the time when young people have so many problems with travel, language skills, they have learned a lot. Work on yourself, just give them such a supervisor for a long time.

Do you know they can handle it?
U to vm. How many km do you, Zka, give them anci and vt space. But it’s tk, because I still have fun under it. to be in this environment, to watch sports first, to meet footballers. And under it you have to think, executioner: It’s just, but how will it be in January? Because in January, these clubs can still buy. It’s just my life.
