"Raphael, what do you mean?"

Benitez is no longer the little coach who needed Rist's operation a few years ago. Benitez, who will soon be 42 years old, is currently a man of the year in European football and the most glamorous young coach in European football.

Last season, Valencia went head-to-head in La Liga and the Champions League, and a lot of attention was on Valencia at the time. Because Valencia was a big dark horse last season and won the Champions League. None of the teams wanted to run into Valencia, but it was a pity that Valencia had a presidency election later.

When it came to Zuihou, there was even friction between Benitez and some of the team's bigwigs, or the old players. Valencia's veteran players are not one or two, but a system of defense. People like Angeloma, Carboni, Pellegrino are all very old players and have been in Valencia for a long time. They support Otti more than they support Benitez.

Otti was also under too much pressure at the time, so he co-opted some of the team's veteran players. Benitez was not Mourinho in the first place, and Mourinho was very good in other places except for the betrayal of his relatives in Real Madrid and the breakdown of his relationship with the big players in the team.

Like at Chelsea, including Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, the likes of Mourinho are completely gods. And after arriving at Inter, many veterans also admired him. When Jose Mourinho left Inter, even players like Materazzi were in tears. Sneijder even said directly to Mourinho that he is his second father.

Even better are the fans. Whether it's at Chelsea or Inter. Those fans are willing to support Mourinho. When Mourinho was in a tough confrontation with the outside world, the fans were unanimous in their support for Mourinho. That's Mourinho's charm and ability.

It's a pity that Benitez is different. Not only does he have a bad relationship with many players, he has a dirty relationship with the top management, and even the fans don't open Benitez like they did with Mourinho.

So the Valencia presidential election had a great impact on Benitez. At that time, he couldn't control those veterans, and his results plummeted. If it weren't for the fact that he stayed this season, and those veterans were old fritters, he knew how to handle dressing room relationships better than Benitez. Benitez didn't make any moves in the transfer market in the summer, so he had to keep that line of defense. That's why Valencia have had a good season this season. Even fortunately, this is a Spanish team, if it is estimated that Benitez will degrade them all in the Premier League, the team's results will look good by then.

As a result, Valencia's results have been flat this season, so no one thinks that the fluctuation of Valencia's results last season was the reason for Benitez. Rafael Benitez is still the young coach touted by the media at the moment.

In the face of such a coach, Rist now treats him very equally. This time the newly established company. Benitez paid 400,000 euros for a 4 percent stake in the new company. If someone else wants 300,000 euros to take four percent of the company's shares. It's simply not possible. That is, Benitez, because the current results are becoming more and more important in Lister's company, so he can get such a share.

Benitez's choice for the future, Rist can only give advice. Can't help him make a complete decision.

"Rist. Such a haode opportunity, if I refuse. Am I just a fool? ”

Benitez was so excited that he couldn't help but joke. Don't look at Valencia, who have just won the Champions League and are currently at the top of La Liga this season. However, in terms of attractiveness, Valencia and Liverpool are not at all in the same class.

Chinese like to whitewash their ancestors. Willing to find yourself a bullish ancestor. In fact, these people in Europe are the same, they are more pretentious than the Chinese. Let's just say that after those people made money as pirates, their favorite thing was to use the money to buy a knighthood. Although those titles are useless, they still like to buy a title, as if they are nobles. Europeans' yearning for aristocracy far exceeds that of China.

The same is true in football. A giant with an illustrious history like Liverpool is simply not as attractive as a team like Valencia. It's the same with Benitez.

'Rafael, the Premier League and La Liga are completely different. There is no such thing as a sporting director in the Premier League, and if you become Liverpool's manager, you will be in charge of the transfer market. You'll have to get used to the change. ”

That's why Rist has always loved the Premier League. Premier League clubs have money, especially in the future. Even small and medium-sized clubs pay tens of millions of pounds to buy a player, which is very common. At that time, in European football, whether it was the Bundesliga, Serie A or La Liga, their small and medium-sized clubs were already poor and couldn't open the pot. And more importantly, in the Premier League, the manager has a lot of power, and there is more room for manoeuvre.

"Yes."

Benitez nodded. So far, Benitez has not actually created much profit for List, Benitez knows that he is entering Liverpool, and Rister must be selling his players to Liverpool. Of course, as long as it is a good player, Benitez will not refuse. And now the two of them are not just an agent and a coach, there are other partnerships between the two sides. Benitez's four percent may not seem like much, but the income is definitely not low. After all, Rist has more than 300 players in his hands, and more than 20 players with a commercial income of more than one million.

Although Benitez does not have a direct stake in Lister's agency, those players who enter Liverpool will be worth a lot of money and have a lot more commercial promotion. This will also indirectly increase Benitez's income.

"Raphael, you have to take good care of your image in the future."

Looking at Benitez, who was already bald, Rist couldn't help but laugh. Benitez's image is indeed not as good as Mourinho and Guardiola. It was Boas, who was known as the little bird, and that image far surpassed Benitez.

In fact, don't compare with managers of the same age, even compared with the older generation of managers, Benitez does not have a slight advantage in terms of image. Look at Alex Ferguson. The hair dryer best suits his image. And Arsene Wenger, who teaches Wenger that kind of mild-manneredness. Including Lippi and Capello, these people all beat Benitez in terms of appearance.

Benitez was told by Riester, not understanding what it meant. Rist looked at Benitez and said, "Raphael, I brought you a sponsorship this time. Know the game CM. They want you to endorse their game, and I've started a conversation with them. I guess I can negotiate a three-million-pound contract, and you say you need to manage your image a little more. ”

"Me?"

Benitez pointed at himself, surprised. In European football, there are not one or two managers who have achieved good results, the older generation of Trapattoni, Ferguson, Lippi, Van Gaal, Heynckes, Heathfield, Boas, and Arsene Wenger are not famous people. Even if it's not them, a young coach like Carlo Ancelotti is not a small fame right now.

And Benitez is also self-aware, and his image seems to be a real ...... for advertising. Three million pounds, not to mention a game. This is true even if it is sponsored by some predators. It's like Coca-Cola when they sponsor players. The average star sponsorship is not up to three million pounds.

"Raphael, don't be presumptuous. They look for you because they like your title as a 'master tactician' and think it fits the purpose of their game, so they will come to you. Three years million pounds. I'm still too little. When you lead the declining Liverpool back on. I wouldn't say yes to three million pounds in three years. ”

Benitez just smiled. He is not good at words. But he knew that the title of "master tactician" on his body was smashed by Rist with money. When all the newspapers and television praised Benitez's tactical ability. The title of "Master Tactician" was born. Moreover, the indiscriminate bombardment of the media has made the "master tactician" accepted by many people. Although there were many newspapers and other columns that followed the trend, Benitez knew that half of the things were columns that Lister had opened up with money.

"Alright, Raphael, I'm just going to ask your opinion today. If you agree, then I'll talk to Liverpool about the details of the contract. Of course, if you have any requirements, you can tell me now. ”

"Liverpool? Liverpool? ”

Liverpool are giants after all, and although Benitez has not investigated it carefully, he still knows a little bit about their team. After thinking for a while, Benitez said, "Lister, I don't believe there is any problem in other aspects. But I want to take a player and hopefully Liverpool will say yes. ”

"Who?"

Rist wondered. Who the hell is Benitez going to take. It's Vicente, and everyone knows how important Benitez is to Vicente. If Vicente had gone to Liverpool, it would have been no worse than Arjen Robben's later at Chelsea. It's just that I'm afraid that Vicente, like Robben, is a glass man in the Premier League.

"Jankoller."

"Oh? Yang? But Liverpool already have Husky. ”

It didn't occur to Rist that Benitez was going to take away not Vicente, but Jankorle. Yankoller has been following Benitez for five years, and he has been following him since he was twenty-four years old, and he is almost twenty-nine years old.

"I also know one thing about Huskey, he is a homegrown player in England and I believe it is not too cheap. Sell him, just in time to bring in Jankoler. Jan's shot is good, and so is Jishu at his feet. ”

Like a machine, Benitez speaks straight to his point. But Rist had a wry smile, Husky and Owen were iron partners. And Huskey is also an England international, and such a player may offend some people if he says he will sell it. But Rist nodded.

Benitez will be Liverpool's manager immediately, and he doesn't need to be afraid of English football after he has Benitez's trump card.

As Benitez said, Husky is not cheap, and when he came to Liverpool, he was already 11 million pounds. It's going to be the Korean-Japanese Shijie Cup soon, and he should be worth more than 15 million pounds by then. And Jankoller's transfer fee is not high.

Lister and Valencia signed a four-year contract, which was originally negotiated last summer. But because of what happened, Jankoller's contract renewal was delayed. Jankoller now has only one year left on his contract this season, and although Jankohler is Valencia's main centre-forward, he will definitely be worth more than £20 million if he is worth more than £20 million. But in the current situation, Yankohler can't sell it for much. Even Jankoller's liquidated damages were only 22 million euros.

Because when Jankohler first entered Valencia, his salary was only 2.2 million euros. If his contract is renewed last summer, his contract could reach around 3.3 million euros. Both Rist and Roig have negotiated, but unfortunately after Roig's failure, this contract extension is gone.

"Okay, I'll talk to Liverpool about that. Are there any other conditions that you don't have? ”

"I believe in you for the rest." (To be continued......)
