586 Angry Mourinho
"Lister, what do you mean by Coach Benitez?"
and Perret. After Pep Guardiola finished talking, Rist just paid attention to the development of the situation and did not get involved. The agent is very powerful, but there is no decision in things like Barcelona's selection of managers. The power of a broker is big to say, but small is small. Rist just muddies the waters and doesn't let Mourinho take over Barcelona.
So Rist left Barcelona early and didn't get involved in it. Guardiola's agent, Guardiola's brother, they are not ordinary people. In this line of work are enough experience, enough ability.
Because there were too many things in '07, there was a lot of turmoil in the summer of '08. After all, many big clubs have changed dramatically, and Rister must of course change with them. Before the summer of '08 arrived, Rist had to get a lot of things done early.
"Ernesto, I would like to ask President Moratti what conditions he is willing to give."
Mancini has completely disappointed Moratti. This is Mancini's fourth year at Inter, but there has been no breakthrough in his performances. In addition to dominating the country with "Phonegate", it is really lacking in the international arena. Moratti's dissatisfaction has reached its peak this season, but he didn't expect Mancini's Inter to be humiliated again in the Champions League.
In the quarter-eighth knockout round, he was beaten 4-1 by Benitez's Liverpool in two legs, which made Moratti completely dead. As a result, Blonzetti and Rist met again in Milan to discuss Benitez's move to Inter next season.
Rist is in no hurry. For the current Liverpool Rist is not satisfied. In fact, two American bosses came to Liverpool. Liverpool's transfer fee is problematic, but it's not too little. But looking at the infighting between the two American bosses, both of them may intervene in the transfer market. In such a club, it is difficult for a coach like Benitez to survive.
But also for Benitez, there is no shortage of buyers at the moment. Rist wants to see what conditions Moratti can give. There are no good conditions for Lister not to let Benitez go to Inter.
"Lister, you have to talk to Marco about the specific conditions."
Marco that Blonzetti is talking about is the current sporting director of Inter. Blanca. But Bronzetti continued: "And as long as coach Benitez has the intention to do so, I'm sure Massimo will be involved. I don't dare to say specifically, but Massimo is not a stingy person. An annual salary of seven or eight million euros is not a problem, I can guarantee that. ”
Rist shook his head. That's not what Rist asked. At present, Benitez's annual salary at Liverpool is 7 million euros, and 7 or 8 million euros at Inter is a small amount. At the very least, it should be eight or nine million euros.
It doesn't matter which one it is. If Benitez chooses Inter, the annual salary will be the best in European football. The question of annual salary, Lister doesn't care. Because Inter's Moratti is not a stingy person in the first place. But what Rist wants to ask is how Moratti will treat Benitez. Benitez's level of rights.
So he smiled and said, "Ernesto, that's not what I'm asking. Speaking of which, I have never dared to do business with Inter. What do you know what the Tao is? ”
"Why?"
"President Moratti interfered too much with the manager. You should know what I mean. ”
Bronzetti smiled. Brunzetti understood what Rist said, because Bronzetti himself had been doing business with Inter for so many years. Moratti's style is well understood. Among the giants of European football. The most popular ones to change coaches are Real Madrid and Inter.
Inter Milan since Moratti took over. For more than 10 years, he has changed coaches. Since becoming president of Inter Milan in 95, he has changed 12 coaches in the past 13 years. The frequency of changing coaches is the highest among the giants.
"Lister, I can speak for Massimo on this point. Massimo has also been reflecting on it over the years. Otherwise, Robert would not have been a head coach for four years. According to his previous temper, Mancini was already out of class in '05 or '06. So I can guarantee that if coach Rafael Benitez comes to Inter, he will respect his way of coaching. ”
An agent like Blonzetti is completely different from Rist. Rist relies on his deep strength, that is, hundreds or even thousands of players behind him to protect his position. It can be said that Rist is hard power, so that no giant dares to ignore him. But Bronzetti is not the same as Rist, there are no players under him, he relies on his connections to gain a foothold in European football.
It's like the relationship with Inter. Bronzetti and Inter president Moratti have a very close relationship. Moratti has fired 12 coaches in his thirteen years in power, and even the sporting director doesn't know how many Lu Dao has changed. As long as it doesn't agree with him, he will be fired. But after all these years, Moratti trusted Blonzetti very much. Many of Inter's transfers were handled by Blonzetti himself.
Moreover, Bronzetti is deeply trusted by Argentine players, and the current formation of the Inter Roast Gang is basically the handiwork of Bronzetti. His best moves in recent years, such as the introduction of Cambiasso from Real Madrid for free, and Samuel, who brought in Real Madrid at a low price, are both very good means. Therefore, Bronzetti himself has a very good relationship with Real Madrid President Florentino.
At that time, he was able to bring in Cambiasso for free and Samuel at a low price, in addition to his relationship with the Argentine player, another is his relationship with Florentino. Bronzetti survived in European football thanks to these connections. He is now coming out to negotiate on behalf of Inter and is qualified to show Moratti's attitude. And he knows Moratti's ideas better than anyone else, because that's what he relies on to get his foothold in European football.
"Yes, Ernesto. I would like to be able to meet President Moratti and Director Blanca. ”
In fact, earlier Rist had already spoken to Benitez. In Benitez's current status, there are few clubs that can match him. The big clubs that are currently changing coaches are Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, as well as two upstart Chelsea and Manchester City.
Needless to say, the current Benitez will not go. Bayern have long had an agreement with Klinsmann. Barcelona are now in love with Jose Mourinho. As for Real Madrid, there is basically nothing possible. Although Benitez was not a big man in Real Madrid back then, Benitez was also a remnant of Sans in Florentino. Benitez has his own connections at Real Madrid, but most of them are from the time of Sans's chairmanship. Florentino would not have chosen Benitez unless there was some reason for it.
Among the remaining giants, that is, Inter Milan is the most suitable. Therefore, Benitez also agreed to negotiate with Riester and Inter, but not too eagerly.
"Lister, I'll just wait for that. Massimo and Marco are waiting for your news. ”
…………
Rist is talking to Inter about Benitez, while Jose Mourinho, the hottest manager in European football, is in a different situation.
"Jose, don't prepare."
Mendes came to Mourinho's house to see that it was full of Barcelona games last season and this season. Mourinho wrote all his ideas for the future on the table. It's full of Barcelona's imaginary tactics.
Seriously. That's all I can say. Mendes sighed, he understood that Mourinho was such a coach. Jose Mourinho is a very careful person, analysing the opponent's information one by one before the game, and then making a relative arrangement. Just like in the knockout round of the Champions League in the 0405 season. Chelsea beat Barcelona 4-2 at home.
Chelsea were at Stamford Bridge at the time. Three goals were scored in a row in the first twenty minutes of the game. It can be said that Mourinho has a complete grasp of Barcelona's characteristics. to be able to play out the game. Jose Mourinho is such a careful person.
Now to become the manager of Barcelona, Mourinho will not fight uncertain battles. Therefore, he is constantly analyzing the current Barcelona and, of course, the La Liga teams. He either doesn't do it. To do it, you have to do the best. What's more, Barcelona is his dream all along, so he is more serious than ever, for fear of missing a little.
"What?"
Mourinho, who is very serious about evolving various tactics, looked up at Mendes and did not understand what Mendes meant. It's just that he saw Mendes' somewhat stiff face.
"Barcelona broke off the negotiations."
"For what?"
Mourinho has some doubts. Mourinho and Barcelona both have verbal agreements. Although it is said that the constraints of oral agreement are very small, in detail, oral agreement is also an oral contract and has legal effect.
And Barcelona is a big club with a head and a face, Laporta and Belgilistan are both Barcelona's decision-makers. They and Mourinho could be said to have made an agreement at that time, how can this kind of thing be reversed. You are not street gangsters, how can you say that the negotiations will be interrupted. It's just so funny. How could this be?
Cruyff intervened. He was against you coming to Barcelona, Laporta and they accepted Cruyff's suggestion. I talked to Begilistan and he said he was sorry. ”
"Shit."
Mourinho, who was surprised just now, stood up, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and said: "Cruyff, this old man, it's okay to play golf, and he really thinks he is the emperor of Barcelona." ”
Mourinho's face was gloomy, and his eyes could breathe fire. Mourinho's mood has suddenly fallen from the clouds to the bottom. It wasn't that long ago that he was excited to finally be back at Barcelona and to be the manager of Barcelona. This is Mourinho's dream all along, and as summer gets closer and closer, his mood is getting more and more surging. But I didn't expect that it had only been a long time, and Barcelona had already changed its mind.
It was a huge blow for Mourinho, not a general disappointment. Barcelona is like Mourinho's first love, and what Mourinho left was sweet. When they found Mourinho at Laporta, Mourinho's excitement was beyond anyone's comprehension. But now .......
"Jose ......"
Seeing that Mourinho, who has always been calm, had a strange expression, Mendes gently called Mourinho's name.
"I'm fine."
Mourinho's voice turned cold and looked emotionless. But Mendes could feel the anger in Mourinho's words. Mendes sighed that this kind of thing needs Mourinho to figure it out himself.
In fact, Mendes is also angry now, not ordinary angry. Barcelona is not just rejecting Mourinho, it is not just backtracking, this is completely naked slap in the face. This kind of thing is rumored to be how he will gain a foothold in European football in the future. When their European football peers heard about it, they must have laughed at it.
"Barcelona, Barcelona!"
Although Mourinho said that there was nothing wrong, he kept repeating the name of Barcelona. Mendes could feel a hint of coldness beside him. There is no love without a reason, and there is no hate without a reason. Mourinho has never hated Barcelona so much as he did today, never wanted to take revenge on Barcelona as much as he did today. A hatred made him feel strange to himself.
"Jorge, go find another club. I don't want to take a break anymore, I want to work. ”
"Okay."
Mendes did not comfort Mourinho or ask why. He has worked with Mourinho for many years and knows Mourinho's character very well. All he wants now is to find a matching club for Mourinho. (To be continued......)
