It's summer in June, but the whole of Britain continues to maintain its own unique scenery, with blue skies rarely appearing, and more often than not, gray skies.

Benitez sat in the car that greeted him at Liverpool FC, quietly watching the scenery along the road on the way to Liverpool FC. In fact, Benitez is not really appreciating the scenery, but thinking about something.

Benitez didn't have a very good time as a player, and he didn't excel. Although he once joined the Real Madrid junior team, his progress was not fast, which means that Benitez is not eligible to play for his favorite Real Madrid.

With the non-stop transfers, Benitez has been working hard in the first and second divisions, spending his football career in obscurity, and finally starting his coaching career.

The first season in Valencia can be said to be a glorious season, Benitez took Valencia to snatch the La Liga title from Barcelona and Real Madrid, which made Valencia taste the championship again after 31 years. At that time, Benitez was God in Valencia, both for the club and in the eyes of the players and fans.

Thinking of this, Benitez couldn't help but show a nostalgic smile, the situation at that time was really beautiful. However, after the glory, the nightmare finally began to come, the team's injuries, and the disunity of the players, directly led to Valencia's 2001-2002 season without results, and this result, began to lead to Benitez's nightmare.

The strong dissatisfaction of the fans, the suspicion of the club and the distrust of the players have made Benitez feel particularly sad. You must know that Benitez is not a world-class coach, and to be able to coach a strong team like Valencia in La Liga, to be honest, Benitez is already very satisfied.

However, for various reasons, Benitez began to doubt his idea of staying in Valencia, and sometimes Benitez was even very angry and wondered who had made you taste the championship for 31 years. Why do you doubt me and don't trust me like this just one season of defeat!

Despite this, Benitez did not say it, not because he did not work hard, but because the club and the team did not cooperate. What made Benitez even more emotional was that some of the team's players even challenged their authority, especially the damn little man, represented by Argentine Aimar.

Don't look at Aimar's small stature, he looks like a big boy in the neighborhood, his personality is not very good, and he often goes against himself. In the end, he pressed Aimar on the bench, and this kid was stunned by the Argentines Ayala and Gonzalez in the joint team, putting pressure on the club, and finally the club came forward and asked him to let Aimar play.

Thinking of this, Benitez felt very angry, as the head coach of a team, he still has to point fingers at the club, which is not a clear distrust of himself, or interfere with his own coaching. Thinking of this, as the head coach of the team, he couldn't even fight a player, and Benitez was depressed in addition to anger.

However, Benitez also knows very well that he is not an iron-blooded coach like Ferguson and Capello, as long as it is not pleasing to the eye, he will begin to absolutely suppress, and Benitez also understands that he does not have that kind of qualification.

Capello and Ferguson, which one of the targets is not the world's top star, and then look at yourself, even a big fart Aimar can't figure it out, they are all people, why is the gap so big.

So the disappointed Benitez was already a little moved when he received Liverpool's intention to make him the new coach of Liverpool. After a long day of thinking, Benitez decided to leave Valencia and go to England and Liverpool to start a new journey.

However, this time Benitez did not rush to agree to Liverpool, on the contrary, he talked to Liverpool about the conditions, for Benitez, the salary is not a problem, after all, he is not yet a world-class coach, and it doesn't matter if the salary is less. But Benitez strongly demanded that since the Liverpool club requires itself to be the manager, then give himself absolute authority and trust, and who he wants to buy, who to sell, what to let play, and when to play, these are all his own affairs, and the club cannot interfere.

Liverpool finally agreed to Benitez's conditions, and even admitted that if you absolutely had to, even if you pressed Owen on the bench, the club would definitely ignore it. From this point of view, you can see how much trust and authority Liverpool gives Benitez, so now Benitez has appeared in the Premier League and appeared in Liverpool.

Of course, Benitez is not a fool, for Liverpool to give himself such a big authority, the main purpose is to bring himself Liverpool to get good results, to be able to get the best championship, the worst to qualify for the Champions League.

The two-year contract was there, and Benitez understood that the first year might be because he had just arrived at Liverpool and was not familiar with the Premier League, and the club could still allow himself to make mistakes, as long as he guaranteed Champions League qualification. But in the second year, if he hasn't led Liverpool to any good results, I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye to Liverpool.

Benitez understands that Liverpool chose themselves not because they are really good, but because of world-class coaches, all of whom now have their own teams to coach, some of them for big clubs and some for national teams. Even if Liverpool wants to poach people, I'm afraid they won't be able to dig them.

And Liverpool's bad season is doomed to Houllier to leave, and Liverpool must find a new coach. Add to that the fact that he has a brilliant coaching experience in Valencia. So Liverpool finally chose themselves, perhaps hoping that they could complete the feat they did in Valencia in Liverpool, leading the team to a championship that they hadn't won for a long time in the first year.

Of course, if his performance is not good, Benitez has no doubt that Liverpool will remove him as manager as soon as possible. As for that two-year contract, it's just a piece of waste paper.

"Mr. Rafa, I'm Parry, Liverpool's general manager, and I'm looking forward to welcoming you to Liverpool, and I'm sure you'll be able to have a great time in Liverpool."

When Benitez arrived at Liverpool FC, Parry welcomed Benitez as Liverpool's representative. Also greeted by representatives of the players, who also arrived after captain Redknapp left, Hyypia, who captained the team.

"Hehe, hello Mr. Parry, I'm Rafa, Liverpool is a beautiful city, I'm sure I'll love it." Benitez was not moved by Parry's enthusiasm, because Benitez knew that if the Liverpool he led did not perform well, I am afraid that it would also be the Parry in front of him, arrogantly telling himself that he could get out.

"Hello Mr. Rafa, welcome to Liverpool." Hyypia stepped forward and shook Benitez's hand.

"Hehe, thank you, Liverpool are a great team of players and Liverpool have a great group of players. Of course, Sammy is also the best player in the world. Benitez was still very polite to Hyypia's greetings.

Unlike Parry, Hyypia is the current captain of the Liverpool team, the representative of the players, and for Benitez, the relationship with the players still needs to be dealt with. Although he is the head coach, he does not dare to behave very arrogantly in front of Hyypia and leave a bad impression on Hyypia. Because Benitez had already experienced the consequences of the player's lack of cooperation in Valencia, that kind of feeling, Benitez didn't want to experience it again at Liverpool.

(Due to the needs of this book, Lao Huo rolled up and went home early, and Lao Bei took office early, the most important thing is that I like Lao Bei, not Houllier, starting from the reversal of the century in the Champions League final.) Ladies of you, read it clearly, don't say I don't have common sense. ）
