"Quite the opposite."

Roig is in his sixties and has been working in the mall for many years, as well as being president of Valencia. But he was still confused by Lister, didn't Rist look for himself in the hope of recommending Benitez by virtue of his status as a major shareholder in Valencia? If not, then what are you looking for yourself?

"Francisco, you should know Jaime. Otti is interested in Argentine coach Cooper. ”

Roig nodded. Otti is very interested in Cooper, who is currently in Mallorca, which is no secret inside Valencia. Otti is currently Valencia's sporting director, where he wields a lot of power, and more importantly, Otti is the representative of Soler, Valencia's second largest shareholder.

Valencia's board of directors is problematic at the moment. Because Roig is the largest shareholder in Valencia, he owns 34 percent of the company's shares. Valencia's second largest shareholder is Soler, who owns 31 percent of Valencia's shares. The two of them own about the same amount of shares.

The Reug family is highly respected in Valencia because they have been rooted in Valencia for 200 years. Similarly, the Soler family is also a prominent family in Valencia. In other respects, the Soler family is no worse than the Roygues, who are the overlords of the local construction industry in Valencia. After Franco's death, the family made a fortune in real estate in the 70s, and now owns more than a dozen construction and development companies. Half of Valencia's local construction market is dominated by the Soler family.

The two of them have been fighting openly and secretly since becoming the majority shareholder of Valencia. But in the beginning, it was always Roig who had the upper hand. Among the things in Valencia. Roig was firmly in control of Soler, who had little to say. But what I didn't expect was that something big happened in 1996. Valencia's No. 1 star Mijatovic was activated by Real Madrid with a liquidated damages clause. Just like the chaos that Barcelona had for a few years after Figo's defection to Real Madrid, Valencia also encountered the same process.

It was also because of what happened that Roig was forced to resign and leave the position of Valencia president. Therefore, Soler seized this opportunity and immediately attacked strongly, taking advantage of the fact that Roig was attacked by Valencia fans, and installed a lot of his own people in Valencia's upper echelons. Jaime. Otti is an old courtier of the Soler family, who was installed by Soler in the upper echelons of Valencia.

To be honest, for the current Valencia club, although Roig is the largest shareholder. But the influence, strength, and momentum are far less than they were two years ago. But Rist was still willing to work with Royger. Because compared to Roygue, the Soler family is an upstart. After Soler became president of Valencia, Valencia was almost in a state of no return. Soler is incapable and hesitant. Not decisive at all. Soler is a gentleman. Such people are not Lister's co-workers.

"I mean you approached Coach Cooper. Then recommend Coach Cooper. ”

After listening to Rister's words, Royg's eyes suddenly became very sharp. Lights can be emitted in Rist's eyes. After Rist finished speaking, he ignored Royger's expression. Instead, he took a sip of the red wine in his glass.

Roig understood exactly what Rist meant. Today, Lister is obviously looking for himself, which is to prevent Cooper from becoming the owner of Valencia. And it's clear that Rist isn't optimistic about Roygue's energy in Valencia. Although Royg also understood, it still made Roig quite uncomfortable for Rist to say it so nakedly.

Anyway, he is already in his sixties, and Rist has not yet reached the age of thirty. In front of such a young man, Royg suddenly found that he was really old. Therefore, Roig looked straight at Lister and found that Lister was still calm. So he smiled and said: "Lister, what can I get if coach Benitez takes over Valencia?" ”

"Francisco, I know that the president of Valencia is unpaid. But I'm sure you've always been tempted to re-become the president of Valencia. ”

Unlike the position of the president of Real Madrid, the position of the president of Real Madrid is paid, and the salary is not low. But the Valencia presidency is entirely voluntary, and the Valencia presidency is unpaid. But the position of Valencia's presidency has always been contested by them, precisely because it will greatly increase their visibility and their status.

That's why Roig and Soler are competing for this position. Roig was devastated by Mijatovic's departure. But he has not given up his stake because he wants to return to the position of Valencia president.

"Can you help me?"

"Francisco, when Rafael becomes the manager of Valencia, I can give you a ticket, the peak of Valencia has arrived. If Rafael wins the title in Valencia, then I will convince Rafael and the players to openly support you. I think when the time comes, with the quality of your Valencia and the support of the team, it shouldn't be a problem to become Valencia's president again. ”

Everything is the same. They all need to be mutually beneficial, and there is no reason to ask for it from only one party on shijie. Only when both sides have the basis for cooperation can this cooperation be long-lasting.

Benitez really doesn't have an advantage over the current Cooper. Cooper's results over the years have been outstanding, especially in Mallorca. If it were a normal club, including Deportivo La Coruna, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, no one would choose Benitez, they would choose Cooper.

It's a pity that Valencia is not a normal club. Their board of directors is now fiercely infighting, and that's why Rist has a chance to fish in troubled waters. Rist must push Rafael Benitez as Valencia's head coach this time.

Roig thought for a moment and then laughed slowly, Rist's proposal was good. Because there is no harm to yourself in this matter, that is, pretending. And with this happening, it is really possible that he can become the president of Valencia again. So nodded.

…………

"What, Royg recommended Cooper to be the club's head coach next season?"

Soler is smaller than Royger, and much smaller. Roig is and Soler's dad Tista. Soler's contemporaries. When the Spanish club was demutualized, it was Roig and Tista. Soler and the two worked together to carve up Valencia. Since then, Roig has always been interested in the club, but as a construction mogul Tista. Soler, however, had little interest in Valencia. So let your son be a representative of the club.

Although Soler has the upper hand in the club's recent encounters, he himself is a rich second generation who grew up shouting the golden key. The most unbearable thing for him is to be angry, and he can't bear to be under others for a long time.

Therefore, he was quite dissatisfied with Roig, the old immortal who had always firmly held the control of the club, and did not care about himself as the second largest shareholder. It wasn't until after the Mijatovic incident that Roig's downfall was fueled by him behind the scenes. Although Mijatovic's job change at the time was amazing, it did not go so far as to step down Royger, the company's largest shareholder. It's all because of Soler's push.

Although he stepped down, he is the largest shareholder of the club after all, and his influence is huge. There are also many people on the current board of directors who support him. So he kept guarding against Royger. Unexpectedly, Roygue, who has been honest for a long time, actually recommended Cooper, who is currently in Mallorca, to become the club's head coach next season. What the hell is this old thing trying to do?

"Jaime, haven't you always been in touch with Cooper? How did he suddenly have a relationship with Roygue? ”

Soler was angry, and he got angry with Ottie, who was sitting next to him. Otti was said to be his father's courtier, who later entered Valencia, and now is an assistant to Soler. In terms of ability, Otti is definitely the first person in Valencia at the moment. This person is not only familiar with the operation of the club, but even as the sports director who is halfway home, he is very accurate in judging the strength of the players.

If it weren't for the fight between Roig and Soler, he would have been able to make a name for the club with his ability. Faced with Soler's unceremonious questioning, Otti was very angry. But for Soler's father's sake, he still patiently said to Soler: "Juan, I don't know when Mr. Roig came into contact with Coach Cooper. ”

"You don't know, so who knows."

Soler did not mince words in the face of Ottie, an old courtier who was older than him and his father. Then walking around, Zuihou said, "No, absolutely not." Cooper must not be allowed to be Valencia's manager. You go and tell Cortez that Valencia must not invite Cooper. ”

Cortés is the current president of Valencia, but he is the least empowered. When Roig stepped down, of course, it was Soler in terms of strength. But Soler was secretly making moves, how could Roig not know. At that time, he had just stepped down from the presidency and had a lot of influence within Valencia. With his opposition, Soler, of course, could not force his way up. So at that time, the Valencia board of directors chose a more neutral, that is, more temperamental Haode Cortés, as the chairman.

When he became chairman, he was really splinted. Both Roig and Soler are the majority shareholders of the club, and both own more than 30 percent of the club. The two of them are still fighting every day, and he really can't do this or that in the middle.

"But a lot of people think Cooper is a good fit for Valencia. And after all, I brought it up first, and when the time comes, for what reason will I deny Cooper. ”

Soler sneered, "Let's just say that Cooper's game is too ugly." (To be continued......)
