496 Champions League final
When Rist watches the game, he always likes to be quiet. It should be said that Lister doesn't like occasions with too many people, and it's okay for a few people to watch a game together. But at the point where Lister is now, especially with a transfer period coming soon, Rister can't rest if he wants to. Matches like the Champions League final are a great opportunity for a lot of people to exchange feelings, and no one will let them go.
More importantly, 06 is a World Cup year, and many players are more cautious about transferring. Because everyone is afraid that because of a change of environment, and then a bad performance will eventually affect next summer's World Cup. Therefore, many agents want to talk to Lister, or want to get Rister's assurance or something.
So before the game, Rist exchanged some views with many of the club's top management and many agents. There are even clubs that don't have anything to do with Lister, but their hierarchy sometimes asks for Lister's opinion. All because of Lister's current status and prestige.
"Lister, I believe you because I agree to Diego going to Valencia."
After Ribeiro suffered a setback, he immediately changed his attitude, and he didn't even see that there was some friction back then. He himself was able to survive when Figer dominated Brazilian football, which is still very set. Back then, when he met Figer, he bowed his head, and this kind of thing was not a little burdensome to do. Of course, Ribeiro's biggest problem is not that he is incapable, his biggest problem is that he is too soft.
Ottie eventually listened to Rist. There is an affirmation of Rist's ability, and there is also a concession to the special status of Rist in Valencia now. Rist's special status in Valencia came out with Roygue.
After all, when Roig left Valencia, Rist was the only one who supported him. Most of the current Valencia executives are still the people who remained, and Rist is the person Roig is most grateful and trusted. After all, when Rister was backing, Valencia once won the Champions League. So at the moment, Rist's position in Valencia is very special, not ordinary. Otti returned to Valencia this time to prepare for things and did not want to have any conflict with Lister.
Sure enough, when the news of Aimar's launch on the market had just been released, many giants in European football flocked to it. The simple idea is that Aymar's poor performance last season was due to Ranieri's bias. Aimar's own strength is still outstanding. As a result, the number of clubs interested in him has increased dramatically.
Among them, the highest offer is Inter Milan. Inter's Moratti has a star collecting fetish. Aimar was again one of the best strikers in La Liga in the previous two years. So when Aimar was introduced to the market, Inter immediately followed. Inter Milan has always valued Argentine players, and there are now many Argentine players in the club.
But Aimar himself would love to stay in La Liga. However, few clubs in La Liga can afford to use him, after all, Aimar was once one of the leading strikers in La Liga and was a core player for Valencia. He was most interested in Zaragoza, and they were sincere. But Aimar didn't look down on Zaragoza. No matter how Valencia falls, it is not comparable to Zaragoza.
Fortunately, at this time, Real Madrid suddenly intervened in the transfer. Real Madrid had been pursuing Baptista before, but Baptista and Real Madrid were talking, but in the blink of an eye, they had reached an agreement with another club. Arsenal won Baptista for 14.6 million pounds, more than 20 million euros.
Fourteen,600,000 pounds. It is currently the highest transfer in Arsenal's history. Reyes' transfer is the highest transfer fee though. But a lot of it comes with additional terms. It has not yet taken effect. So the money spent is not yet fourteen.6 million pounds. But this time to buy Baptista, the money is real money.
Real Madrid did not take Baptista and set their sights on Aimar. Francisco. Roig is actually reluctant to sell Aimar to Real Madrid, but Rist believes that Real Madrid and Valencia have dirty differences. In particular, Mijatovic's job-hopping incident that year. But on the whole, the current situation is that Real Madrid and Barcelona are getting stronger and stronger, and there is no need to force it, as long as there is enough money.
It's a good talk now. Real Madrid negotiated with Otti and reached an agreement. That's 23 million euros to buy Aymar. And while selling Aimar, he contacted Porto to bring in Diego.
Valencia had wanted to bring in Van der Vaart. This is the real superstar billet, which is popular in the entire European football world. When it comes to talent in European football at the moment, no one can compare to Van der Vaart. It's a pity that Valencia is still a little late, and Hamburg and Van der Vaart have already reached an agreement. Van der Vaart is the same as in history. Took a path that surprised many people. Without Van der Vaart, Otti would have set his sights on Diego in Porto.
Diego is a popular player in Brazilian football, but unfortunately he has been average in Porto. There are not only one or two stars who have succeeded in South American football and hit a wall in European football. Porto also wanted to sell him, and Valencia just came into the picture.
"Wagner. Diego is a great player and you won't regret your choice. In fact, I think it was a wrong choice for Robinho to go directly to Real Madrid, and it was better to join a strong team like Diego first. โ
"Lister, maybe Robinho is the next Pele?"
"Hahaha."
Rist didn't care about Ribeiro at all, and couldn't help but laugh. Then he said to Ribeiro: "Pele includes Maradona, a king who has changed the game by himself, and modern football is no longer allowed to appear." It's like the classical midfielders are slowly retiring from football, and midfielders like Steven Gerrard, Ballack and Frank Lampard are getting more and more valued. The current football environment does not allow for the emergence of a king like them. โ
The king of the ball, the increasingly detailed division of labor in modern football, it is difficult to appear the king of the ball again. Even if Robinho really has Pele's strength, it is impossible to become Pele in the current football environment. Don't talk about Robinho, even if Pelรฉ really came to the modern day, it would not be possible to become the original Pele.
"Yes. The midfield is now more and more inclined towards players who can run well and can attack and defend. And not those classical front midfielders. โ
Ricardo on the other side nodded, agreeing with Riester's statement. Ribeiro glanced at Cardo and did not refute Rist's words. As a predator in Brazilian football, Ribeiro certainly understands where modern football is headed. But what he disdained was that it was okay for Rist to say so, because Rist was bold enough to say it.
But which onion do you Ricardo. But he was just running errands for Rist, and now with Baptista, he really thinks he is a character. He also dared to grin in front of himself. When he was fighting against Figer openly and secretly, Ricardo was still a small agent who was difficult for the lowest level in Brazil.
However, Ricardo certainly did not know what Ribeiro was thinking at this time. At the moment, Ricardo is immersed in joy. This time Baptista's transfer made Ricardo also enter the ranks of top agents at once. After all, he now has a star worth more than 20 million euros, enjoying a weekly salary of 56,000 pounds at Arsenal, which is converted into a weekly salary of more than 80,000 euros.
"Rist, are you optimistic about that team?"
Carvajal didn't mix them up. Carvajal has had little connection with Valencia, or even with Brazilian football. Carvajal is a very smart agent who has woven a wide net in Spain. He doesn't do anything beyond his power, as long as he controls the genius of Spanish football, then he is not afraid of his own decline.
"Liverpool."
"Because of Coach Benitez?"
"It's not."
Rist shook his head. Benitez is currently on a par with young coaches such as Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti. But Hiddink is not a vegetarian either, having won the treble seventeen years ago. His coaching ability has become more and more spicy over the years, otherwise PSV Eindhoven would not have reached the Champions League final.
'PSV Eindhoven's players are too young. Huntelaar is only twenty-two, Afelai is nineteen, Farfan is twenty, Messi is eighteen, they are too young. Many of them are making their debut at such a tournament for the first time. It's okay to say if it's one or two, but the problem is that all of them are newcomers. If there is something wrong with such an important game, it will definitely be nervous. โ
"Maybe it's because you're young that you're fearless."
"If you talk to other people, you might be able to bring out the best in them. But against Raphael, youth is a huge disadvantage. And it's the whole team that's young, that's the big problem. โ
Experience is sometimes a burden, but when it comes to big games, it's wealth. The Milan players were overturned by Deportivo La Coruna, which eventually led to the Riazo tragedy. This experience, this experience, is a huge burden for a Milan player. Every time something like this happens in an important game, they remember it, and that's why they lost badly to PSV Eindhoven.
But also for veteran players with championship experience, experience is a huge asset. They know how to relax in a big game, and they know how to adjust themselves in a big game.
Rafael Benitez is an expert at playing cup games. PSV Eindhoven's frontcourt players are all newcomers and have reached the Champions League final for the first time. Even if they are players who have just played this season. Compared to them, Liverpool's players are all experienced players. Each one has a major championship in hand.
Rafael Benitez is also the manager with two Champions League titles on his hands. Against PSV Eindhoven's young players up front, Benitez will certainly be able to make a targeted set-up. Of course, this is only Lister's prediction, after all, there are various reasons for football matches, and no one can guarantee them.
"Raphael is also a wonder. There are more Champions League titles than any other title. โ
"Huh. Rafael is the quintessential king of cup competitions. โ
"Doodoo-"
"The Champions League final of the 04-05 season has begun. The match was played between Liverpool from the Premier League and PSV Eindhoven from the Eredivisie. โ
