"Lister, things have been a bit bad for me lately. Cortés has already made it clear that he supports Otti as president of the club. ”

Francisco. Roig is in his sixties, but he is again red in this year's presidential election, as if he is ten or twenty years younger. Francisco. Roig is really fond of Valencia, not for anything else.

The Roygue family has been in Valencia for 200 years, and there is no one in Valencia who does not know the three Royg brothers. Francisco. Roig is even more famous in Valencia, and there is no need to use Valencia's chairmanship to raise his profile. Roig is just a simple Valencia fan who would love to make a difference in Valencia's chairmanship.

"Cortez?"

"Yes. He has already issued a statement stating that Otti is the best candidate for Valencia's presidency. To say Valencia's results in recent seasons, Otti is the number one contributor. He will give his full support to Otti as president of Valencia. ”

Francisco. Roig was dissatisfied when he spoke of Cortés. Rist sighed, this was something Rist had thought about a long time ago. Cortez, as the current president of Valencia, admires him very much. Although Rist didn't see Cortez a few times, because Cortez himself was very low-key. Normally you don't see Cortez.

Cortés became president of Valencia, the result of a complete accident. As a minority shareholder in Valencia, he would not have been qualified to take over the chairmanship of Valencia. However, because of Mijatovic's affairs back then, Roig stepped down in embarrassment. The Valencia board was very chaotic. After Roig stepped down in embarrassment, he gritted his teeth at Soler. Therefore, Roig and Soler were inseparable at that time, and in desperation, the Valencia board of directors Zuihou introduced Cortez, an intermediary, to become the president of Valencia.

When he became president of Valencia, Valencia was the most turbulent moment. In the Valencia presidency, he played the governance method of "doing nothing". Llorente was first promoted to Valencia's general manager, and then Otti was made Valencia's sporting director. Let Otti be in charge of the sports side of things, let Llorente be in charge of the business side, and he is completely behind the scenes, so that people can't see that Valencia still has a president. Unfortunately, Llorente was a sporting director and didn't have any connections or strength in business, and after a few rounds, he quickly struggled in the business world. And Ottie, who became a monk halfway, did an unexpectedly good job. So Cortés gradually took back power in the commercial sphere from Llorente.

After a few encounters, Roig's representative Llorente was sidelined, and then a new Valencia hierarchy led by Cortés and Otti was formed. Four years. Cortés was inconspicuous and served as president of Valencia for more than four years. Roig and Soler fight every day. But Cortés' position has been secure.

Being able to go right and left so that neither faction can take measures against him, such an ability is absolutely unique. There are times when you don't even feel that Valencia still has a president, but that's how Cortés made Valencia's leap. I don't usually see it. By now, Cortez is stepping down. People silently discovered Cortez's power.

I've been working with Ottie for a long time. Cortez is very fond of Otti. Therefore, he strongly supported Otti before leaving office. It turned out that Roig and Soler were not about the same strength, and now Cortez, the former president of Valencia, supports Otti, which has made many neutral shareholders start to favor Otti. That's why Roig wanted Rist to come back and help him get back into the game.

"Cortez and Otti have worked together for many years. That's not surprising. ”

Rist sighed. Rist really didn't want to step up at this time, because Valencia was the most important moment. The Champions League has entered the quarterfinals, and in the league, it is also a life-and-death battle with Real Madrid. It's a sprint phase.

At this time, as long as Lister is involved, then Benitez, including Jankoller, Vicente, Jankulovsky, who have a deep relationship with Lister, and even Ronaldinho, who has been an intermediary in Lister, will be involved. This will certainly have a huge impact on Valencia's future results.

"Yes. Soler and I don't have much support on the board. Now Cortez is like this, and it's not good for me. ”

"Say what you want me to do."

Although there are such and such disadvantages, since he has promised it a long time ago, Rist will definitely not hesitate.

"There's a cocktail party at the club tomorrow night."

"I see."

Reesette nodded. Many things can only be understood but not spoken, such as Rist's support for Royger. Valencia is not a membership system, and there is no need to make a fuss about it like the Real Madrid presidential election. If it's a membership system, then Rist must take Benitez and them to support Roig and let all the members see.

But because Valencia is a joint-stock company. So as long as there is the will of the shareholders, it will be fine. It was enough to let those shareholders know that the team was backing Roig at the club's reception. Those shareholders naturally know what to choose, especially the neutral ones.

…………

"I'm sorry, Raphael."

Rist was sorry for Benitez. Because Valencia's performance this season is very good, compared to last season, Valencia's attacking ability has been greatly improved.

Rafa Benitez has gradually carved out a golden left side in Valencia. Jankulovski, Vicente, Ronaldinho and Mutu all operate on the left. Valencia's attack on the left flank this season has been so strong that few teams have been able to resist it. When playing against Real Madrid again, Valencia's golden left side directly crippled Real Madrid's right side. So much so that Figo could not be supported by Salgado on the right flank. Figo was depressed throughout the game.

After the match, Marca wrote directly that Florentino quickly bought Vicente. Because with the support of Jankulovski and Ronaldinho, Vicente single-handedly broke Salgado directly. During the game, he completed two passes and one shot. In the end, they beat Real Madrid 3-2 at the Bernabeu. The whole game shone all over the game, making the 20-year-old Vicente the most eye-catching talent in all of Spain. Vicente's value has increased even more. Now the Spanish media are saying that Vicente could not have taken it without 30 million euros.

Now in La Liga, Valencia and Real Madrid are biting tightly, and no one has left anyone behind. The difference in points between the two sides is only one point, with Real Madrid one point ahead of Valencia. In the Champions League, it also broke through from the two rounds of group stage to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Valencia are very good at the moment and it is entirely possible to win the title.

But at such an important moment, the battle for Valencia's board of directors has reached a fierce level. It's very likely that the results will be greatly affected. Rist felt sorry for Benitez when he thought about it.

"Nope. Since I became the manager of Valencia two years ago with the help of Mr. Roig, of course I have to reciprocate. ”

Benitez usually has a dead face, and his expression is not good-looking at this time. Because the situation in Valencia is very good right now. But Benitez did not blame Rister, on the contrary, he supported Rister. Because there is no Roygue. There could be no Benitez in Valencia. He doesn't like to owe favors. Two years ago, since I promised Roygue. Then it is time to support Roig.

Reesette nodded and said, "Xiexie, Raphael." ”

Although Benitez understands Raite, Rister still feels a little sorry for Benitez this time. Rist would love to make amends to Benitez. In considering where to compensate Rist.

Benitez is doing well in all aspects right now. But the salary is still not high. Like in the Premier League, Ferguson's salary is now £3.5 million. Converted into euros are more than five million euros. Arsene Wenger's salary is slightly lower. But there were also two million pounds. There are already a lot of managers in the Premier League who pay more than a million pounds. Like Newcastle's Robson, Liverpool's Houllier, Chelsea's Ranieri, Villa's John Brown. Gregory, their salaries are all in excess of a million pounds.

Thinking about it this way, Rist thinks that Benitez's salary is still less, and his income is a little less. Benitez should be compensated from other sources.

It's not just Benitez. Rist also remembered Pobosky, Nedved, and a few others. Because they are almost in their thirties now, although in terms of the careers of the two of them, it is not impossible to be able to play for five or six years, or even seven or eight years. But when they retire, they can't eat their old books.

Poboski and Nedved are okay, and in terms of their careers, they are estimated to have a net worth of around 20 million euros when they retire. Even if there is no 20 million euros, it is estimated that it is about 15 million euros. But compared to the two of them, many other Czech players are not as earned.

Just like Galasek and Lokwentz, it is unlikely that they will be able to save tens of millions of euros when they retire. When the time comes, how will they live. It's always not okay to eat the old book. Many players go bankrupt after retiring, all because they have no income after retirement and only know how to eat their old capital. Rister should be accountable to them as their agent. It's not just about their careers, it's about what they're doing after they retire. You can't let your players retire and go bankrupt and become beggars.

Rafael Benitez is the No. 1 manager in his hands, and now Rister has Juander in his hands. Ramos, Pellegrini, David. Moyes these people. Do you want to learn from Stretford and let them take a stake in their own brokerage company?

But Rist quickly shook his head. Although there are a lot of such things, and it is a good way to win them over. But Rist vetoed. Because such a target is too big, it is easy to attract other people's attacks. Stretford had been in the English league for a long time. But also because of the strong pressure of public opinion and the pressure of the FA, he withdrew from the brokerage company he established. Then he became Rooney's agent.

If Rist pulls these managers into his agency to become shareholders, he may also become a target for others. Or Shijie Football Federation, or UEFA who looks at Lister when he doesn't like it, it's a living handle. Rist didn't want that. But how to give these managers some other aspects of income.

And their own players, how to help them. A lot of agents will set up some investment company or something, and then help the player manage his assets. Although Rist is now also helping players manage their assets, they are all taking risk-free approaches. Although the people who help Rist are professionals, they have not yet formed an effective company. Maybe think of a way in this regard?

"Lister, don't be so distressed. I have a sense of proportion. ”

Benitez watched as Rist fell into deep thought, thinking he was worried about Valencia's results. So comfort Riester. Rist smiled slightly, because it was not easy for a character like Benitez to be able to say such comforting words.

"Raphael, just this once."

Lister made a solemn promise to Benitez. In the future, Lister will never intervene in the club's affairs so casually, let alone involve his coach.

"I believe in you." (To be continued......)
