"Rist, coach Benitez is a Champions League professional."

The game went by minute by minute, but Mourinho's Porto never found the back of the net against Liverpool. Porto have been able to get to where they are now more because of a good defense than a good attack.

Four years ago, Benitez relied on scoring first and then defending the Champions League won by Zuihou. At that time, the mighty Real Madrid were helpless in the face of Valencia's defense. He is very skilled in this set, and it is not only Mourinho who can play. So this time was no exception, Benitez immediately began to defend after taking the lead, and then put a defensive counter-attacking superstar like Owen in front. Sometimes you have to believe in something illusory, Jose Mourinho is strong but always sad to face Rafael Benitez in the Champions League.

"Huh."

Rister smiled, and this Champions League title also has a lot of benefits for him. Champions League champion, Benitez has been at Liverpool for two years, no matter what his results are, with such a title, the next five or six years will be guaranteed. And the contract that Rist has been dragging on should have been decided.

The weight of the Champions League is huge, and such a title could increase Benitez's salary by a large margin. It's all money, it's all money. That's all Rist can say. And with this title, Benitez will have a greater say in the Liverpool transfer market.

"Rafael is good at everything, but he doesn't do well in the league. Liverpool fans are waiting for a Premier League title. ”

As things stand, Liverpool are strong. But the personnel reserve is not as good as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. If Liverpool want to play on several lines, then the bench must be thick. Liverpool fans love the Champions League, but they are also hungry for top-flight titles. It's a pity that Benitez doesn't look good at playing in the league.

"Lister, it's not good to be too greedy. It was the Champions League. ”

Pinny. Zahavi Hahadaxiao. In the past, the Premier League and the Champions League were not divided between the Premier League and the Champions League, but as the Champions League attracted more and more money, the Champions League is becoming more and more important. Now the Champions League is the first, the Premier League is second, the FA Cup is third, and the League Cup is zuihou.

"Of course I hope Rafael is okay with everything."

"Lister, the boy you brought back from Africa is really famous now. It is estimated that his name will be in the best team of this season's Champions League. You reveal a number. How much money did you really make on him? No, tell me how much money you had brought him to Europe in the first place. ”

Pinny. Zahavi didn't say it directly, but Rist knew he was talking about Kolo. Toure. Kolo. Toure is only twenty-three years old now, very young for a centre-back. Historically, he completed an unbeaten season at Arsenal. And now he's done with a Champions League title. Just like Pinny. That's what Zahawi said. Kolo. Toure will surely be in the Champions League Team of the Year this season.

With the Toure brothers making a name for themselves in European football. Some media dug up some of the things that were in the beginning. Knowing that the Toure brothers were brought to Europe by Rist at a very young age, Pini. Zahavi has some curiosity. Pinny. Zahavi has never bought or sold players in this area and is therefore interested in it.

"You make me think. That should have been '98. At that time, the Czech national team and the Ivory Coast national team were playing a friendly match, and I went with it. I brought four players from Côte d'Ivoire that time, and it cost a total of $70,000. It's the Toure brothers and the Cornay brothers now. ”

"You're amazing."

Pinny. Zahavi could only give a thumbs up. '98, that's six years ago. Six years ago, when Rist brought the four of them over, it was only $70,000, and it was put in Rist and Piney. An agent at Zahavi's level is completely insignificant. Now the four of them are estimated to be worth more than 50 million euros combined. It's still Pini. Zahavi is conservatively estimated.

Kolo. As a central defender, Toure's partnership with Hyypia is hailed as comparable to Manchester United's Campbell and Rio Ferdinand's partners. Twenty-three-year-old Chloe. Toure's current value is around 145 million pounds, to say the least, and now that he has won the Champions League, his value has only increased, and he will definitely not fall. If you move to an upstart like Chelsea, you might be able to sell for more than £20 million.

As for Yaya. The same goes for Toure. Yaya. Toure has been in excellent form for PSV Eindhoven this season, who have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Toure's contribution was significant. The important thing is Yaya. Toure is only twenty-one years old and has already been approached by teams with Rist. The lowest of their offers are in the tens of millions of euros.

There are also the Koné brothers, although their development is not as good as the Toure brothers, but their current development in the Eredivisie is also very good. They are all worth around seven or eight million euros.

Although Rist didn't say how much money he earned, Pinny. Zahavi was able to speculate somewhat. Since they followed Rist to Europe from Africa, Rister must have gotten the ownership. The transfer fee must have gone into Lister's pocket when he moved to the Eredivisie through Belgium. In addition, they are developing smoothly now, and the commissions before and after will definitely not be less. Pinny. Zahavi predicts that in the past six years, Rist has made tens of millions of euros from the four of them.

Now that they are performing so well, whether it is a transfer or a contract extension, Rister is an agent who can get a good commission. These four black boys should be able to earn more than 20 million euros.

Twenty million euros, even Pini. Zahavi is doing this kind of business in the club, but he is also very envious in his heart. He rarely does the player business, but he didn't expect the player business to be so profitable. How many brokers have been in business for many years now, and their income is not tens of millions of euros. Rist has more than 10 million euros on just a few of the most obscure African players. I don't know whether to praise Rist's good vision, or to envy him for his ability to accumulate wealth.

Actually, Pinny. Zahavi was wrong. Twenty million euros is definitely not Rist's goal. Rist has already earned tens of millions of euros on them, and for their age, they still have more than a decade to go into their careers. Rist wants to squeeze at least 30 million euros out of them.

"Rist. You're so good-eyed. ”

Mario. Beside him, Mamich looked at Rist with a kind of adoration. Rist went to Africa and casually brought four black boys over, and he was so powerful.

"It's not that I'm good. There is a football school in Côte d'Ivoire, and the principal there is Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, a good friend of Mark Wenger. Kulu. This man's football school is the largest in Côte d'Ivoire, with seventy to eighty percent of the Ivorian players having studied at his school. He's my partner in Côte d'Ivoire, and I should say that he has a lot of talent in his school, so I just need to bring in talented players from their school. ”

These relationships are no secret, and those in the industry can find out as soon as they look at the affairs of Ivory Coast football and Ivorian football. So Rist didn't care at all that others knew about the line. Looking at Mario next to him. "Mario, you have to remember something. It's impossible for a person on this shijie to get everything done. When you get out of Croatia, you have to learn to work with more people. Only then will you be able to develop. ”

Mario. Mamicch is the same age as Rist, but Rist is like teaching his juniors. But Mario. Mamickey didn't feel anything unsuitable. On the contrary, I listened very carefully to what Rist said.

Pinny. Zahavi couldn't help but roll his eyes as he watched from the side. Because Rist seems to be earnest. In fact, the subtext is very simple, it is to let Mario. Mamic will find himself more after he arrives in European football. Lister is such a powerful agent predator, and another way to say cooperating with him is to listen to Lister's words more.

A few people bragged there, but time passed minute by minute. Porto Zuihou have begun to launch suicide attacks. But it didn't work out much. The tenacious Liverpool were there to keep Porto at bay. Stop his wave after wave of attacks.

"The game is almost over. It's stoppage time. ”

As the game entered stoppage time, nearly 20,000 Liverpool fans at Schalke Stadium were already dancing. For Liverpool fans who have been down for many years, winning the Champions League is a sign of their resurgence.

The "Heysel tragedy" was the beginning of Liverpool's decline. Without this tragedy, how many years Liverpool would have been able to dominate European football at that time, no one can say. But this tragedy dealt a fatal blow to Liverpool, and Liverpool's decline can be said to have started with the Champions League final. Therefore, regaining the Champions League title is not of great significance to Liverpool.

"You'll never walk alone! You'll never go it alone! ”

"Hooray! Liverpool! Banzai! Liverpool! ”

Stoppage time was only three minutes, and it passed in the blink of an eye.

"Doodoo-"

"The game is over, the Champions League final of the 0304 season is over. Liverpool won the Champions League with a win over Porto, the biggest dark horse of the season. Liverpool is back, and the Reds Liverpool who swept European football back then are back. It was Liverpool's fifth Champions League title in their history, second only to Real Madrid, who won eight Champions League titles. Congratulations to Liverpool, Liverpool are finally back. ”

"Congratulations to Rafa Benitez, who won the second Champions League title in his coaching career at the age of 44. He is an alternative coach in European football, having not won a top-flight title since he took charge, but he has two Champions League titles. ”

Benitez is not an ordinary alternative in European football, but a very different one. He has been coaching independently for almost a decade, but there are only two real champions in his hands. In Spain he did not win the Copa del Rey, the Super Cup, or the FA Cup, League Cup, or Community Shield.

As for the top league title, it has not been touched once, only once it is close to the La Liga championship. Therefore, apart from some invitational tournaments and the like, there are only two titles that are truly recognized by European football. But these two are champions that all coaches envy, that is, both are Champions League winners.

"Congratulations to coach Jose Mourinho and FC Porto as well. Although they lost the game, they have been good enough this season. Jose Mourinho won the treble last season and reached the Champions League final this season, which is good enough for a young coach who is only 41 years old. Coach Jose Mourinho and the players at Porto don't need to be sad because they have done their best. ”

The commentator has not forgotten the other one, which is the failed Porto. In fact, Porto failed and was uncomfortable, but for others, it is already very good for Porto to reach the Champions League final.

It's a pity that they still underestimated Mourinho, for whom he was either a champion or a loser. Therefore, he comforted his players with a gloomy face, and it was not unusual for UEFA to award the runners-up trophy at all. Faced with the reporters, none of them had a good face.

And Mourinho, after winning the Champions League runner-up medal, threw him to the Porto fans as soon as he turned around. Looking at the unruly Mourinho, Rist actually admires Mendes quite a lot. Rist thinks he doesn't have the skills to control Mourinho, but Mendes has been able to work with Mourinho for more than a decade and has maintained a good relationship. (To be continued......)
