"Valencia?"

Of course, Rist and Cortez and Otti talked about it, but Zuihou's signature still has to be confirmed by Benitez. So Rist immediately went to Esttremadura and found Benitez. Tell him the outcome of his own negotiations and see Benitez's options.

Benitez looked at Rist in surprise. Benitez has been in high spirits this season, leading promoted club Esttremadura to play the role of a dark horse. Although as the season progressed, the problem of bench thickness became apparent, and Extremadura's results began to decline. But he still sits in eighth place in La Liga. It is completely different from the pre-season speculation that Extremadura was going to be relegated. Coupled with Lister's use of media touting, Benitez's fame is also rising.

But even so, Benitez is still a young coach at only 39 years old. Valencia, on the other hand, is a traditional powerhouse in Spanish football and has also had good results in recent years. Benitez never imagined that he would have the opportunity to enter Valencia so soon.

"Lister, I've heard that Valencia are in contact with Coach Cooper from Celta. How did you become me? ”

Valencia's interest in Cooper was unknown to no one in Spain, not even Benitez. Speaking of Cooper, Rist smiled, a very smug smile. Although I am sorry for Cooper, after all, the best result of Cooper's coaching career was to lead Valencia to the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons, winning two Champions League runners-up. But Cooper wasn't his coach. Rist felt no guilt at all.

And for the first time, Rist took advantage of the chaos within the club, took advantage of the contradictions in the club's board of directors, and forced his coach to be recommended. Rist was still quite proud in his heart.

So Rist smiled and gave Benitez a brief explanation of his movements. By the way, of course, Benitez will tell you about the internal affairs of Valencia, after all, the board of directors in Valencia is very chaotic. Not to mention in Spanish football, even in European football, there is no such chaotic board. And Benitez is not good at dealing with the above, and Rist wants to tell some shili range within the Valencia board in advance. lest Benitez be offended on both sides.

Looking at the smiling Lister, Benitez was surprised. The main reason why Benitez is willing to sign a contract with Rist is that he is not good at dealing with people. Therefore, many things off the field, including contract extensions, and player resources, can help him the most. It's just that Benitez didn't expect Rister to be able to help him get the position of Valencia head coach.

Benitez was completely stunned by Rist's movements. However, this is mainly due to the fact that Benitez has not worked with other agents, so it is a surprise.

After understanding. Benitez is also in a good mood. Because the Extremadura's club platform is too small. His players are not at all in contrast to Valencia. Look at the players in Valencia, like Mendieta, Angullo, López, that's really better than the other. They are all the most number one ace players in La Liga football.

For example, Extremadura's $6 million last summer was already their limit, and they certainly won't be able to come up with more this season. But Valencia is different. It is possible to come up with two or three hundred million dollars in one summer. Even a strong team that can come up with four or five hundred thousand dollars. If you can become the manager of Valencia. Then Benitez's coaching career will take a step to the next level.

Against, there was no idea of opposition in Lister's mind at all. This kind of good thing is simply pie in the sky, and if you don't agree, there will be a problem. It's the same as Rist. Benitez doesn't care about his salary at all. Because the platform in Valencia is too big.

"Lister, you mean we're going to side with Mr. Royg?"

After thinking about it for a while, Benitez thought about it. Therefore, to be able to become the manager of Valencia, it is clear that Roig has contributed. And although Rister's narrative is simple, Benitez can still see that Rister and Roig are cooperating.

But unlike what Benitez thought, Lister shook his head and said firmly: "No, Raphael. You're a manager and you can't have any inclinations in Valencia. Leave the handling to me, and you will take care of the team wholeheartedly. Whether it's Roig or Soler, you just don't think they exist. They won't deal with you directly, either, so you can just keep a relationship with Cortez and Ottie. Don't think about who Cortez and Otti are, just think of them as the club's top brass. ”

Rist wouldn't let Benitez get involved in this kind of thing. Because this kind of thing is easy for Benitez to leave an infamy, and it is easy for people to think that Benitez is involved in the struggle for power. And the current Benitez is not qualified to wrestle with Valencia's top management, and he is only qualified to mix with this kind of thing if he has a result.

"So how do you ...... with Royg?"

Rist interrupted Benitez with a wave of his hand. Benitez actually wanted to say that Roig's support for Rist and Benitez would never be in a personal relationship with Rist. Lister and Roig have only known each other for seven months, and their friendship cannot be so deep. Roig also had its own purpose.

Benitez believes that Roig must want to support him after becoming the head coach, otherwise why would he support Benitez as the head coach. If he doesn't support Royg, how can Rist explain to him?

"Raphael, you don't care about this kind of thing, I'll deal with it. I didn't just say it at the beginning, you just lead the team to play, and I will take care of everything outside. Otherwise, what's the use of me as an agent. ”

Benitez nodded.

"That's right, Raphael. Although the season is not over yet, you still have to prepare ahead and see what kind of changes you need to take in charge of Valencia. Ottie will contact you and talk to him about any ideas. This person is very capable, so don't be inhibited when communicating with him. Just tell him what you think as a manager. ”

Rist has been in contact with a number of senior members of the club, but Otti is definitely one of the best. This man has an extraordinary eye, a decisive style, and is able to stabilize the situation in Valencia in such a chaotic board situation, and he is the representative of one of them. In terms of ability, Rist admires Ottie very much.

Under Rist's description, Benitez also had a preliminary understanding of Valencia's top management, as well as the disagreements of the board of directors. Benitez was worried about such a complicated situation, but he was not afraid. Because Real Madrid, although there is no open board battle like Valencia, is not calm at all. Benitez has seen it before.

It's just that Benitez was not qualified to participate in that kind of struggle back then, and now he has become a manager. It can be regarded as the real power figure of the club, and he has begun to participate in these aspects.

'Rafael, any player you need can come to me. My scouting system is completely open to you. ”

Rafael Benitez is on the verge of becoming Valencia's manager, and Rist is relieved. For the past two months, Rist has been tense in order to get this thing done.

Valencia is not the current Inter Milan or Lazio, nor is it the club like Chelsea and Manchester City in the future. It is impossible to throw tens of millions of dollars or tens of millions of dollars into it, and invest hundreds of millions of dollars in a season. Despite this, Valencia is also a club that dares to spend money, and it is okay to spend 20 million dollars for a player.

Rist worked so hard to get Benitez into Valencia for a simple purpose. With Valencia's strength in recent seasons, of course, it will take Benitez's efforts. Rist wants to use Rafael Benitez to sell his players to Valencia and make some money for himself.

But Rist didn't say that directly to Benitez. Because at this stage, Rist wants Benitez to succeed. Only Benitez succeeds, and no one will care if one or two transfers fail in the future. But if Benitez fails in the transfer market now, it could easily be seized on the weakness and start attacking. So Rist was patient.

Benitez may have a problem with his expression, but his IQ and EQ are absolutely normal. At this stage, the salary of the manager is very low, too little compared to the players. Rist has done so much for Benitez, who knows that Rist is more interested in using his managerial position to make more transfers to his own players.

Therefore, after he met with Otti, the first request for the transfer of the player was a high school striker, and he directly named Jankoller. Jankoller is indeed a very unusual high school striker, as there are very few such high school strikers in La Liga football. At 2.02 meters tall, he stands out in La Liga football and is a great deterrent to Spanish defenders.

Eleven goals and seven assists have been scored at Estrimadura this season. It is Benitez's favorite general. Benitez wants to bring him with him to Valencia, believing it is not impossible for Jankole to score twenty goals in a season with Valencia's strong attacking ability from the wings. Coupled with the relationship with Lister, he is very willing to take him.

Otti negotiates with Benitez, and immediately consults with Cortez about Benitez's request. Otti first affirmed Jankoller's strength, and then considered the relationship between Benitez, Rist, and Jankoller at the same time. Zuihou agreed to Benitez's request and began to contact the Esttremadura's club to discuss the matter of Jankoller. (To be continued......)
