1. A. PRESENCE ABROAD
WITHOUT INVESTMENT.
In front of the requirements of the international development
of the football and of material and budgetary capacity of the clubs, the
strategy of the latter first of all consists in increasing their possibility of
gaining the most matches, then to be maintained in the best position with the
general classification of a league or championship, not to undergo humiliating
it sanction of relegation. Thus, the teams carry out recruitments of those
which they regard as good players, it their race, their origin does not matter.
Lately, the work of the international organizations of defense of the humans
right collected great success, while making dissipate the suspicion of racism
which weighed on the policy of recruitment of certain teams of football. And,
the Third World, after ceaseless victories in international competitions,
became the target most concerned clubs of European football. They are not
however all the countries of the Third World which is concerned. While waiting
for the still slow opening of the countries of Asia, in this matter, Africa and
South America come at the head. The clubs make use for that of the agents of
recruitment. But like, they cost expensive, they often resort to their former
players, amenable to the Third World countries.
Indeed, even if they did not return in their countries, at the
end of their professional career, old the stars third-mondistes of European
football continue to be active in the reinforcement of manpower of their former
teams. This strategy, effective, finds especially its climax in the fact that
in their countries of origin, these former players very often profit from
regards, if, with their credit, the national results were good. And rewards
some, they receive a commission which makes them, then commissioned agents. It
symbolizes the first form of the durable relations between a rich club and a
given geographical corner.
1.A.1. The commissioned Agent or the semi-official
recruiter.
Called sometimes, agent at the commission or sales
representative, the recruiting agent of young players for a given geographical
sector, is not to confuse with an intermediary. Because, this last buys the
players on the local market with its own funds and negotiates their resale with
the rich clubs. On the other hand, like that which acts in international export
commercial, the commissioned agent does not take a margin, but it is
remunerated by the club by means of a commission on the operations of purchase
for the benefit of the club, which its initiative allowed.
1.A.1.a. Characteristics of the formula.
Convinced, in the majority of the cases, that the Third World
constitutes a market where one could supply oneself as players with few
expenses, and sometimes where the infrastructures able to hatch on its best
level the talent of the young sportsmen are cruelly lacking, the rich clubs
resort to this formula which has the advantage of indicating like commissioned
agent, a former player, of good reputation, less demanding with respect to its
former employer. In this context, it passes for :
- An agent. As such, it acts with the name
and for the account of this one. This mandate gives him the capacity to
negotiate and carry out football business, without masks itself for a long
time, the shade of the true purchaser, namely, the club.
- An independent intermediary.
In this quality, it proves that it is free organization of its
activity.
Lastly, it is not doubt that it is regularly charged, and
nonoccasional, of the search for young players, then to propose on sale with
the club with the name of which it acts.
