"Rister, I have listened to your advice this summer to bring in players. [ ]. You can't cheat me."
After a tour in the Netherlands, List secured four young players for himself. In the youth training camp in Eindhoven, List secured Huntelaar, Afellay, and Messi, whom he brought to the Netherlands.
Then by the way, he got rid of Bolaruz, who had just been eliminated by Ajax. However, Bolaruz Riester did not put Bolaruz in PSV, but relied on the friendship between Ruud Ruud and Bolaruz.
Put it in the Heerenveen Club where you have some connections.
The almost seventeen-year-old Boraluz has begun to stabilize many of his technical characteristics. What he needs now is competition. If he is placed in PSV, his strength is not obvious at all, but in Heerenveen, his strength is more outstanding.
. Have a better chance of appearing in the first team.
After staying in the Netherlands for a period of time, the 1998-99 season began. Riester chose the same choice this time, choosing Spain. But this time he planned to watch not Deportivo La Coruña, but Estrela.
Madura Club match. Because Benitez has led Extremadura Club to La Liga.
Lister needs to focus on Benitez's performance. Based on his performance, Lister also needs the support of the media. Lister is already ready. As long as Benitez's performance this season is wonderful, then Lister will bribe him regardless of how he performs.
The media also wants to tout Benitez as the most outstanding young coach.
Riester is now watching the game with Tuni Crespi, the president of the Extremadura club. Tuni Crespi is now very prestigious among the fans because he brought Extremadura to
The club was brought into La Liga.
"Tuni, you will thank me after this season. You will never doubt my vision again."
List is indeed becoming more and more influential in the Extremadura club. Including Sunderland, these two clubs now even ask List for his opinion when recruiting players. Many agents do more than just act as agents.
When it comes to people buying and selling, the only thing left is to be a transfer consultant for this kind of club. If the introduced player succeeds, then he will also get a commission. If it fails, then trust will be lost.
This summer, Extremadura Club did not introduce many players, but only signed a few powerful players, that is, players who have been going back and forth between La Liga and La Liga all year round. Many of these players are free
, the purpose is just to increase the team's bench.
This season, Extremadura first bought half of the ownership of Jan Koler from Riester, and then confirmed the purchase of Fan Zhiyi. Then it continued to rent out Barcelona youth player Luis Garcia. The biggest move was only one
, bought a midfielder for $2.6 million.
Makelele, who plays in Nantes, was recommended by Riester to Benitez and Thuni Crespi, and he also guaranteed it in front of them. So the club bought it without much money.
Then he bought Makelele. Then he bought left winger Vicente. Unfortunately, there is always a shortage of smart people in this world.
Although Vicente is only seventeen years old now, his talent has been valued by many people. Levante Club is unwilling to sell it to Extremadura Club cheaply. But Extremadura Club summer
The transfer fee has been almost used up. I bought half the ownership of Jan Koler, bought Makelele, and bought Fan Zhiyi. The US$6 million has basically been used up.
The Levante club offered a high price of 1.6 million US dollars, which the Extremadura club could no longer afford. In fact, the seventeen-year-old Vicente did not have a professional contract with the Levante club because
Spanish law stipulates that you must be 18 years old before you can sign a contract with a club. However, Vicente privately expressed his willingness to join Extremadura Club. After all, this is a La Liga club. But he hopes to give some compensation to Levante Club.
Therefore, after bargaining, the Extremadura Club finally acquired Vicente for US$900,000. Of course, the Extremadura Club did not have enough money, so Riester and Extremadura
The Dura Club cooperated to acquire Vicente. Each obtained half of the ownership of Vicente.
In this way, Extremadura Club has spent all the transfer fees this season. It cannot be said that there are many changes. Makelele has a position in the main lineup. Vicente is still too young and is a surprise player.
"Dududu——"
Just as the two people were chatting, the 1998-99 La Liga season began. As a newly promoted club, Extremadura met Valladolid, a weak La Liga team, in the first round of La Liga.
Although Valladolid is a little better than Extremadura, it is also an out-and-out weak team in La Liga. The most famous member of their lineup is undoubtedly Caminero, the symbol of Spanish football a few years ago.
His status in Spanish football four or five years ago is the same as Raul's status in Spain these two years.
In addition to Caminero, Riester also has someone he is familiar with. That is Valladolid's central defender, Heinze, a central defender from Argentina. Heinze is still young at this time, only twenty years old.
Partnering with him at center back is Spanish defender Calvo.
Benitez is a coach from Real Madrid and is also related to Valladolid. After he left Real Madrid, the first club he coached was Valladolid. Benitez's coaching ideas are very pragmatic and ordinary.
The Spanish head coach is different. He knows that Extremadura is not strong, so he adopts an alternative defensive counterattack.
It is a 4-4-1-1 style of play. Benitez attaches great importance to one person, and that is Luis Garcia, who is on loan from Barcelona. He is completely dominant in the frontcourt. And Jankoler is overtaken by him.
At the front, Vicente did not play at all and sat on the bench. After the game started, the Extremadura club did not retreat to defend and counterattack, but moved the line forward and started fighting in the midfield.
At this time, Extremadura's formation changed to 4-1-4-1. This midfield fighting style disrupted Valladolid's pace.
"Caminero, he dribbled the ball through the midfield and passed the ball... Makelele stole the ball and handed it to Rubio on the wing, and he made a 45-degree cross!"
Makelele played as a right back in Nantes, but in order to join the national team, Jacquet told Makelele that he needed a midfielder and not a right back, so Makelele switched to a midfielder. Some people have talents
It's innate, just like Makelele's choice of position. After he changed his career to a defensive midfielder, his excellent positional sense was immediately reflected.
He stood between the midfielder and the defender, and he accurately intercepted Caminero's pass just now. The most important thing is that Makelele never hesitates and is very decisive in the defensive midfielder position.
The ball was quickly handed to Rubio on the wing. Rubio's strength was average, but his basic skills were okay. So he immediately made a 45-degree cross.
This kind of cross is definitely rare in Spanish football. Because Spanish players are more accustomed to walking on the ground, but the players of Extremadura are different. After a season of cooperation with Jankoler, they are very accustomed to this kind of play.
Law.
Defending Jankoler were Calvo and Heinze. Calvo was 23 years old and Heinze was 20, so they were very young. In addition, Calvo was only 1.81 meters tall, and Heinze was even taller.
It is only 1.79 meters. And the height of their opponent Jan Koler is 2.02 meters. This is a full 20 centimeters difference.
With such a height difference, even if Calvo and Heinze were in a good position, they would not be able to guard Jankoler. Jankoler was not a player like Crouch in England later. On the contrary, Jankoler was a very good headerer.
Players. Therefore, facing the pass, they did not exert much force and already overwhelmed Calvo and Heinze to get the ball.
With a very simple coordination, Jankoler's header was accurately passed to the feet of Luis Garcia who came in behind Jankoler. Because Calvo and Heinze had never encountered a center like Jankoler in Spain.
, so he was actually brought in, forgetting to defend Luis Garcia.
"Jan Koller, header... Luis Garcia, he broke in and was already facing the goalkeeper. Shoot!!!!!!!"
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
This is the home ground of Extremadura Club. The fans are very happy that the club can be upgraded. Now the game has just started, Extremadura is already one goal ahead of Valladolid. The atmosphere of the stadium
It became popular immediately.
"Six minutes, the newly promoted club Extremadura is already ahead of Valladolid Jankoler in just six minutes. We have to say that this center from the Czech Republic is really good at controlling high-altitude balls.
Too strong. With his height in Valladolid's body, he is a huge threat in itself. How are Calvo and Heinze going to defend him?"
How to defend him. The Extremadura club's play style is very simple, Benitez did not use too complicated tactics. But it still made Valladolid's defense very uncomfortable.
In the first half, Jankoler won 100% of the high-altitude ball confrontations, and succeeded nine times in nine attempts for headers. This kind of header ability left the commentators stunned.
"It's such a pity. If the Extremadura club had wing players like Figo and Boboski, I believe that Jan Koler would have no problem even if he scored a hat trick in this game. Barra
Dolid obviously didn't expect to meet a high forward player like Jan Koller. It's a pity, what a pity."
The commentator sighed repeatedly. Because he has been commentating on La Liga for so many years, this is the first time he has seen such an aerial dominance center. In La Liga, a league that attaches great importance to technology, such a center in the Premier League or the Bundesliga is very important.
Few. Even if they have a center, their power in the air is not as good as that of Jan Kohler.
Even the experienced commentators were surprised, let alone the young Calvo and Heinze. The two of them had only been playing in La Liga for a short time and had never seen players of this type like Jan Koler.
In fact, if Jankoler was in the Premier League or the Bundesliga at this time, the advantage would never be so obvious. Because in the Premier League and the Bundesliga, those defenders play in aerial combat all day long. There are many defenders who are 1.9 meters tall.
, his jumping ability, heading ability, and positioning ability are all very good. He will not give Jankoler so many comfortable opportunities.
But for the Spanish defenders who are more accustomed to walking on the ground, especially the young Calvo and Heinze, Jankoler's playing style is too different. The two of them don't know how to deal with him at all, they can only be constantly beaten by him.
Bully.
Calvo and Heinze have been stunned by Jankoler's high-altitude ball. Sometimes even if they stand in a good position, Jankoler's huge height advantage and header advantage will steal the ball. Valladolid wants to
To create a shooting opportunity, they need a lot of steps. Because Benitez attaches great importance to defense, it is difficult for them to get some opportunities. But Extremadura's offense is much simpler, just a few passes and then
It can form a shot.
Lister smiled slightly in the box. Benitez's biggest problem is that he has a bad relationship with the club's upper management, and there are also problems in handling the locker room, but in terms of tactical ability, he is the best in world football. All Lister has to do is help.
Benitez stabilized the club's top brass, then gave him more direct players to support him in the locker room, allowing him to fully utilize his talents.
Look at Valladolid, who couldn't resist even the simplest moves from Benitez. The thirty-eight-year-old Benitez is on his way to becoming a famous coach. Although he led Valladolid more than three years ago,
Germany has played in La Liga, but now Benitez is starting his journey to become a famous coach. Sometimes the simpler, the better the effect, especially for the weak Extremadura. Just like Ai
Stremadura's tactics in this game, Benitez destroyed Valladolid with a few simple plays.
One to zero, Extremadura did not score any more goals. With a sneak attack at the beginning of the game, Extremadura won the La Liga title this season with Luis Garcia's goal.
The first victory. Three points secured.
Riester even believed that Valladolid's head coach would not be convinced by this defeat, because he probably didn't even know how he lost, and lost to Extremadura, a newly promoted team.
"Congratulations, Tuni Extremadura scored three points."
"Same joy."
Although the game was ugly and did not look like a La Liga club at all. However, Extremadura threatened the offense more during the game. Tuni Crespi is laughing now. Because as a newly promoted team
I couldn't be happier than getting three points.
"Tuni, Rafael will create a new history for your Extremadura club." (To be continued.)
