"Augusto, you must be the greatest president of Deportivo..."
Benitez's taking over of Valencia is currently the most important thing for Rist, but Rist did not show any signs of anxiety. Instead, he wandered around the Spanish football world as if he had nothing to do.
He has been in contact with some Spanish football people and kept meeting with some big figures in the Spanish media circle. Now Riester is slowly showing his sharp teeth, so he needs to continue to cultivate his own personal relationships.
Today, Riester came to Deportivo to watch Deportivo's game. Deportivo has been crazy in the past three seasons, because Deportivo's results this season are amazingly good. La Liga
It seems that the league championship is out of reach. Real Madrid and Barcelona are the undoubted giants in Spain, but under the strength of Deportivo, they can only fight for second place in these two seasons. If they win again this season
La Liga champion, Deportivo has won La Liga twice in a row.
"Rister, your contribution is also included here. When our club introduces players in the future, you must come to us as a consultant. I believe no one can compare with your vision."
I am very impressed with Riste Lendoiro. Because the players Riester recommended to Lendoiro have performed very well this season. Deportivo already has a super player like Rivaldo, and Rivaldo has these two talents.
He has been among the top three goalscorers in La Liga every season. And Ma Kai, who moved to Deportivo La Coruna this season, is even more of a super shooter.
Deportivo's offensive strength is very strong, and Rivaldo, Boboski, and Dejaminha in the frontcourt are all masters of passing the ball. The season is not over yet, and Mackay has already scored twenty goals in Deportivo.
Three goals, far ahead in the scoring list. He needs speed, explosiveness, technique, and his shooting is so good. The entire Spanish football world has been conquered by Ma Kai. Just use
For eight million dollars, he brought the top scorer in La Liga. This deal was a great deal.
Of course, there is only such a deal, and Lendoiro will certainly not admire Riester so much. Deportivo also has another heavyweight transfer this season, which is the introduction of Ze Roberto for five million US dollars. This man once played in
The players who returned from Real Madrid's defeat are very important in Deportivo this season.
He plays on the left. When attacking, his dribbling breakthroughs and crosses are top-notch. When defending, he works very hard. Even when there is a shortage of players in the defensive midfielder position, he can also become a defensive midfielder.
Protects the defense and can effectively balance Deportivo's offense and defense. Ze Roberto, who was acquired for $5 million, is now worth more than $5 million, attracting the attention of countless teams.
I spent some money in the summer, but the effect was very good. Deportivo La Coruna performed better this season than last season, completely suppressing the two La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. Deportivo has never been so glorious in its history.
This made Londoiro very happy, and Rist was now treated like a VIP at Londoiro's place.
Now Lendoiro has only one idea: to have a good relationship with Riester and listen to Riester's recommendations when transferring in the future.
"Augusto, this is all easy to say. If you need anyone in any position in the club, you can come to me. Even if they are not my players, I will give you the most suitable player just like I recommended Ma Kai and Ze Roberto this time."
The shrewd Lendoiro back then is now becoming more and more ambitious. Even a small La Liga championship cannot satisfy his ambition. It seems that he will continue to take risks and continue to expand Deportivo La Coruna.
strength.
People need to be rational, especially as a decision-maker. Lendoiro, the shrewd chairman who single-handedly pulled Deportivo out of the quagmire, is now ambitious and has too much appetite. He will
Putting Deportivo into another desperate situation. Riester shook his head. Now Lendoiro was dazzled by the victory. But what does this mean? The news for Riester couldn't be better.
Riester hopes that Deportivo will continue to be generous. Of course, Riester will never point it out as a wedding dress for others. When the time comes, Riester will of course take advantage of Lendoiro's trust and recommend his players to Deportivo.
These all take time and require the accumulation of time to establish mutual cooperation.
"Ding ding ding——"
"Hello, I am Liszt Cherny."
Listening to the self-introduction of the person inside, Lister smiled slightly. The things he had thrown out were finally rewarded, and Lister had been waiting for this moment. However, Lister did not rush up in a hurry, but replied with a smile.
: "I'm sorry, Mr. Oti. I still have things to do in La Coruna. How about we meet in two days?"
Even if Benitez is not very well-known now, there is no need for Rist to fawn over them. Flattering them would make Benitez lose value, but Rist would not do that.
"Oti, Jaime Oti of Valencia?"
After Riester put down the phone, Lendoiro asked Riester curiously. Lendoiro didn't expect that Riester had a relationship with Valencia. After all, Oti is a heavyweight in the top management of Valencia. Riester pointed out
Nodding, he didn't hide anything from Londoiro.
"What does he want from you? Does Valencia want to buy your players?"
"We are going to talk about big business. Soon the La Liga football world will know about it."
As for the specific matter, Rist practiced Tai Chi. There is no concrete result yet on the Benitez matter, and Rist is not willing to let the news out.
…………
Two days later, Lister came to Valencia. Cortez and Oti were a little angry about Lister's indifference. Benitez was just a newcomer.
You're just a young coach. If Valencia is interested in you, you should come here to flatter you.
Who is Benitez? He is only thirty-nine years old, and in terms of results, he has only coached La Liga for two seasons. He became famous this season, and he is considered a dark horse this season. But Extremadou
Although the performance of La Club is good, it has not reached the level of a real dark horse. It can only be said to be good.
Not to mention the dark horse miracle like Nottingham Forest, there was the Kaiserslautern Miracle a few years ago. Of course, even in La Liga football, there was the dark horse miracle of Deportivo La Coruna. Compared with them, Extremadou
Playing a club is nothing at all. What a great guy!
In their minds, Benitez's agent is too ignorant. However, although they also know that Benitez is a young coach, they also know that Liszt Cherny is young, but he is not someone they can lightly despise.
After all, Riester is no longer the small agent who just debuted in 1996. His influence in La Liga football is growing.
So although they were a little dissatisfied, no one showed it when facing Lister. Because even if Benitez's matter didn't succeed, they didn't know when they would have contact with Lister. So they all
Riester was received very warmly.
"President Cortez, Mr. Oti, hello."
"Hello, Mr. Cherny."
Two days later, Riester met Cortes and Oti in Valencia. Riester was very familiar with these two people and had met them before. But this was the first time for such face-to-face negotiations.
Riester and Valencia have not had any cooperation before, this is the first time. So everyone talked about some issues in La Liga this season, and then Oti said: "Mr. Cerny, we at Valencia hope that next season
To be able to invite Coach Benitez to be our head coach."
In fact, Oti was a little surprised. He initially thought that Benitez was a young coach who had just emerged, so he asked to meet him. But Benitez replied that everything about him was managed by his agent, so what?
You can discuss the matter with your agent first. This made Oti confused at the time. You, a 39-year-old young coach, want to hire an agent?
But after hearing that it was Liszt Cerny, they had to face up to Benitez. After all, Liszt is not as good as agents like Figel, but he is also very powerful in Spanish football.
agent.
"Head coach of Valencia? This is a good position. Mr. Oti, Valencia really invites Rafael to be the head coach of Valencia?"
"certainly."
Riester spoke slowly and very calmly. This made Oti feel very uncomfortable. During their previous discussion, Benitez should have been in a bad mood. But looking at Riester's current attitude, it seems that Valencia
West Asia's invitation was not that great.
"But why?"
Lister's rhetorical question made Cortes and Otti look at each other in confusion, because Lister was completely different from what they imagined. Otti replied: "We think coach Benitez is in Extremadura Club
The performance this season has been excellent and in line with our development in Valencia."
"Mr. Oti, do you think Raphael is outstanding?"
Oti nodded gently. He couldn't say anything bad to Riester, and if he didn't, why would he invite him to Valencia? So he could only nod.
"So, if Mr. Oti Rafael becomes the head coach of Valencia, what rights can the club give Rafael?"
After so many twists and turns, this is what Lister wants to ask. Benitez is a head coach who is not good at communicating, and he is not good at communicating with the company's senior management. In his coaching career, except for the beginning, he has passed
After a few seasons, there will always be conflicts with the club's senior management. And he is not good at confronting and compromising with the senior management. In the end, many of them left the club because of conflicts with the senior management and the locker room. Therefore, Lister knows that these will be in the future.
Riester needs to consider and deal with it.
For the current Benitez, he should seize this opportunity even if he doesn't pay. But Riester will never take the initiative. How hard Riester has worked for the current situation.
Rights? Benitez’s rights? Cortez and Oti were really ill-prepared this time. They both underestimated Benitez before coming, so they were not prepared for this. So when they met Riester
During the negotiation, they were at a disadvantage. However, Oti was not an ordinary person after all, and he soon learned that they had made a mistake before the negotiation.
Therefore, he immediately adjusted their mentality and asked Lister: "Mr. Cherny, what rights do you want Raphael to get?"
Riester raised his head and looked at Otti. In the current chaotic Valencia, Otti is definitely the mainstay and the most outstanding person in the top management of Valencia. If it were not for the constraints of the board of directors, Otti would definitely not be able to manage Valencia.
Like now.
"It's actually very simple. Rafael is young, I believe you know this. Young means lack of qualifications, so I hope that the club's senior management will not interfere with Rafael's management of the team. Because once the senior management interferes in the team's affairs at will,
It is impossible for Benitez to control the locker room. Of course, I know the rights of the Spanish sports director, so I do not ask for Rafael's transfer rights. But as a coach, I hope that he can have the right to transfer.
He has the right to make suggestions and participate in the recruitment of any player."
Lister's request is a bit excessive, because in La Liga football, the sports director is very important to the club. In terms of recruitment, the sports director is the decision-maker, and the head coach can only have some suggestions. Therefore, when Lister's
When the conditions came out, the faces of Cortez and Otti changed. This was completely different from what they had imagined. Moreover, this was in front of the parties involved, especially what Riester proposed was decentralization. Otti, who was the sports director,
The power in hand.
If it were normal, they would just deny it. But at this time, they are silent because the season is almost over. But the Valencia coach's plan has been slow, and Benitez was not easy for them to confirm.
Candidate, a candidate that can be approved by the board of directors. If this negotiation fails, then I want to find a head coach that can be accepted by the board of directors, but I don’t know which one it is.
But compared to Cortes, Oti is much more decisive. Of course, Cortes cannot agree, because although he and Oti have a good relationship, they are not actually in the same camp. If he agrees, then he will be helping Bennett.
He was unwilling to have any trouble with Otti. So Cortes remained silent, but Otti finally made up his mind. Knowing that the head coach's matter could not be delayed any longer, he said decisively: "Cerny
Sir, of course the head coach should have the right to do this, and the head coach's opinion is very important if a team wants to develop it."
Lister was overjoyed when he heard Oti's words. Lister did not have many requirements for Benitez's contract, especially in terms of income. Lister did not make any excessive demands. Because now Benitez is just
He is just a young coach. Rather than asking for money, he needs a stage.
Therefore, the subsequent negotiations were much simpler. The salary Riester asked for was not high, because Oti and the others agreed easily. Seeing that the final negotiation was almost done, Riester smiled slightly. As long as there are achievements, he will be afraid of money in the future.
