Goodbye, Benitez is finally gone! 》

This is a copy of the newspaper Sport di Milano.

The report announced Benitez's dismissal to readers in a euphoric and excited tone.

Rafael Benitez officially became Inter Milan manager in June 2010 and signed a two-year contract with the Nerazzurri.

However, in the new season, Benitez led the team to an unsatisfactory record.

In the UEFA Super Cup in August, Inter Milan lost 0-2 to Atletico Madrid, losing the only chance to win the championship in 102 years of team history.

In the new season, Benitez's team has a sluggish record in Serie A and the Champions League, and Inter Milan, who have won five consecutive Serie A titles, are already 13 points behind Milan at the top of the league in less than half of the league.

In the Champions League, Inter, who became the seeded team, not only finished second in the group, but were also beaten 1:5 by Aston Villa away from home, setting the team's biggest defeat since 2004.

Of course, with a 4-0 lead at home and one more person to fight, Aston Villa scored five goals in a row to stage a super reversal, which made Inter Milan a big laughing stock in Europe.

As a result, Benitez suffered a crisis of confidence.

In the previously concluded Club World Cup, Benitez led the team to defeat the Asian champions and the African champions to win the championship.

Originally, it was seen as a good opportunity for him to fight for a longer period of time.

But after the event, Benitez suddenly 'provoked' Moratti, blasted the club for not supporting him enough, and said threatening words such as "either buy me four people in the winter or go talk to my agent".

At this point, there was a break between him and Inter.

His ultimatum did not result in a compromise on Moratti's part, and after a business trip to Madrid, Moratti returned to Milan for a high-level meeting that decided to sack Benitez.

Inter Milan Pinettina training base, head coach Rafael. Benitez's office.

Last night, Benitez received a call from the club's hierarchy to formally inform him of his dismissal.

And "Milan Sports Newspaper" reported the news of his departure on the front page today, and the tone was very excited.

Benitez looked angry, and this made him feel as if the whole of Inter Milan, and half of Milan City, couldn't wait to see him get out.

Whether it is the attitude of the club towards him, the attitude of the fans towards him, the uncooperative attitude of those veterans in the dressing room, the unfriendliness of the Italian media towards him, etc., etc., etc., all make Benitez have a bad impression of Italy and Milan City.

At this moment, Benitez selectively forgot about the poor results he led the team.

People will subconsciously find reasons for themselves.

The complacency of the team's veterans, the distrust of the club's hierarchy, the lack of support for him, and the unfavorable recruitment of reinforcements are the root causes of the team's poor results.

Anyway, the reason for yourself is minimal.

……

Coutinho stood in the doorway of the manager's office, a little hesitant.

The coach informed him yesterday to come to the office today to talk, and then this morning he heard the news of Benitez's dismissal.

Coutinho had been hesitant to come over.

It stands to reason that Benitez is already out of class, and he doesn't need to pay attention to Benitez anymore.

It's just that, whether it's for promoting youngsters against the treble-winning veterans, or whatever, Benitez is really giving youngsters more playing time.

In a sense, Benitez is good for Coutinho.

So, despite the hesitation of the young Coutinho, he finally came.

"Felipe?" Benitez looked surprised to see Coutinho, he didn't expect Coutinho to come.

"Coach, I, I want to say it to you." Coutinho was a little shy, "Thank you for your help and trust in me. ”

"That's your own performance and deserving of my trust." Coutinho's arrival obviously made Benitez feel a lot better, and Benitez, who has always spoken more rigidly, also became 'gentle', "Come in and sit down and try my exclusive handmade coffee." ”

"Ah, thanks, Coach."

"Felipe, you are a very talented player...... Benitez said, and it was at that moment that his cell phone rang.

Looking at the number, Benitez's expression was a little strange, and he turned his head to look at Coutinho, who was a little cramped, "I'll answer the phone." ”

Saying that, Benitez answered the phone casually, I don't know if it was because he was packing up again, so that he pressed the wrong button, and after Benitez pressed it, he casually pressed the hands-free button.

……

"Raphael, I thought you would be too ashamed to answer the phone."

"Why am I afraid to answer the phone?" Benitez tied a stack of papers with a rubber band, "I don't owe you anything, Mr. Fang Jue." ”

"Hey, hey, I called you last time and said that I admired Coutinho, and you said you would consider calling me, and now you've been fired, and I didn't wait for your call." Fang Jue pursed his lips, it seemed that Benitez was indeed in a bad mood, otherwise he would not have gritted his teeth and said 'Mr. Fang Jue' so loudly.

"If I were Inter manager, I wouldn't have sold Coutinho."

"Yes, yes, you're not the manager of Inter Milan now, and you don't have that right anymore."

"As far as I know, after Ronaldinho joined Aston Villa, Villa is not short of people in attack."

'The veterans will eventually get old, Aston Villa need fresh blood, and in my opinion, Coutinho is a talent like Bale and Mane, and this will be the best young attacking combination in Europe in the future.' Fang Jue didn't hide it, Benitez had already left class, so there were some things that couldn't be said to Ferguson and Wenger, but they could be said to Benitez.

And, most importantly, Benitez has a tight mouth and never a big mouth.

"It looks like you really admire Coutinho."

"Of course." Fang Jue said.

"I'm not the manager of Inter Milan anymore, so it's useless for you to tell me." Benitez said.

"yes." Fang Jue laughed, "Okay, Raphael, happy holiday......"

"Then I also wish you a good result in leading the team to a forty-five unbeaten run." Benitez said.

Just yesterday, in the 20th round of the English Premier League, Aston Villa drew 2-2 away to Manchester City, and Villa scored from a free kick in injury time by Gareth Bale, equalizing the opponent and retaining a 45-game unbeaten streak, which also became the focus of European media reports after the game.

Media on Gareth, who scored the equaliser. Bell was a big blow again.

A Gareth. Bell, a Diego. Costa, the two youngsters of Aston Villa are now arguably on fire.

"Ahh......h

Without waiting for Fang Jue to finish, Benitez pressed the hang up button.

This guy really wants to beat him up.

……

"Coach, then, that was Coach Fang Jue just now?" Coutinho stammered.

"It's him." Benitez nodded faintly.

"Aston Villa's Fang Jue coach?" Coutinho reconfirmed.

"That's right."

"I seem to have heard Coach Fang Jue say that he admires me very much, and that he wants me to go to Aston Villa?" Coutinho said with some excitement that Fang Jue is famous for his eyesight, and young players in football are proud to be appreciated and favored by Fang Jue.

To put it mildly, which player Fang Jue fancies, the value of this player will definitely be at a premium.

Benitez and Fang Jue were communicating in Spanish just now, so Coutinho could understand the general situation.

"Yes, Fang Jue has called me many times before and said that he admires you very much." "I haven't been able to ignore him because I know your strength and I don't want to let you go." ”

Benitez felt that he was not lying, counting this time, Fang Jue mentioned Coutinho on both phone calls, which is indeed many times.

After leaving the coach's office, Coutinho was visibly absent-minded, with the youngster's expression both excited, shaking his head, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, and a little restless.
