Of course, Riester, Cortez, and Oti were almost done talking, but the final signature still had to be confirmed by Benitez. So Riester immediately went to Extremadura to find Benitez.
.Tell him the results of your negotiations and see what Benitez’s options are.
Benitez was surprised when he looked at Riester. Benitez is really high-spirited this season, leading the newly promoted Extremadura Club to play the role of a dark horse. Although as the season progresses, the problem of the thickness of the bench becomes apparent.
Extremadura's performance began to decline. However, it is still ranked eighth in La Liga. It is completely different from the widespread speculation before the season that Extremadura will be relegated. Plus
With Riester using the media to praise him, Benítez's reputation is also rising.
But even so, Benitez is still a young coach who is only 39 years old. Valencia is a traditional strong team in Spanish football and has achieved good results in recent years. Benitez has never been
I never thought I would have the opportunity to enter Valencia so soon.
"Rister, I heard that Valencia is in contact with Coach Cooper of Celta Vigo. Why did you become me?"
Everyone in Spain knows about Valencia's interest in Cooper. Even Benitez knows about it. When talking about Cooper, Riester smiled, a very proud smile. Although for
Cooper is very sorry. After all, Cooper's most outstanding achievement in his coaching career was to lead Valencia to the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons and win two Champions League runner-ups. But Cooper is not his coach, and Riester has no fault at all.
Guilt.
And for the first time, List took advantage of the chaos within the club and the contradictions in the club's board of directors to forcefully recommend his coach. List was still quite proud.
So Riester smiled and briefly explained his actions to Benitez. Of course, he also told Benitez about the internal affairs of Valencia. After all, Valencia's board of directors is very chaotic. Don't say it is in Spain.
In football, even in European football, there is no such chaotic board of directors. And Benitez is not good at dealing with the higher-ups. Riester needs to tell some of the spheres of influence within the Valencia board of directors in advance, so as not to be disappointed later.
Both sides will be offended by Nites.
Looking at the smiling Riester, Benitez was very surprised. The main reason why Benitez was willing to sign a contract with Riester was that he was not good at dealing with people. Therefore, many things off the court, including
In terms of contract renewal and player resources, Riester can help him the most. However, Benitez did not expect that Riester could help him secure the position of Valencia head coach.
Benitez was completely shocked by Riester's actions. But this was mainly because Benitez had never cooperated with other agents, so he was surprised.
After understanding this, Benitez was also in a good mood. Because the platform of Extremadura Club is too small, his players are not comparable to Valencia's. Look at Valencia's players, like Mendieta,
Players like Angulo and Lopez are really better than the other. They are all top-notch ace players in La Liga football.
For example, Extremadura spent six million US dollars last summer, which was their limit. They will definitely not be able to spend more money this season. But Valencia is different. They can spend it in one summer.
With 20 to 30 million US dollars, he can even finance a strong team with 40 to 50 million US dollars. If he can become the head coach of Valencia, then Benitez's coaching career will immediately reach a new level.
Objection, Rist has no objection at all in his heart. This kind of good thing is simply pie in the sky. If he doesn't agree, there will be problems. Just like Rist, Benitez doesn't care about his salary at all. Because
Valencia's platform is too big.
"Liester, do you mean that we must side with Mr. Roeg?"
After thinking for a while, Benitez thought of this problem. Therefore, his ability to become the head coach of Valencia is obviously due to Roig's contribution. And although Lister's description is simple, Benitez can still see that Lister
Te and Roig work together.
But unlike what Benitez thought, Riester shook his head and said firmly: "No, Rafael. You are a head coach, and you must not have any tendencies in Valencia. You are dealing with the higher-ups.
Leave the matter to me, and you can take care of the team wholeheartedly. Be it Roig or Soler, just treat them as if they don’t exist. They won’t deal with you directly, so you only deal with Cortez.
Just maintain a relationship with Otti. Don’t think about who Cortez and Otti are, just think of them as the top management of the club."
Riester will not let Benitez interfere with this kind of thing. Because this kind of thing can easily make Benitez infamous, and it can easily make people think that Benitez is meddling in the power struggle. And now Benitez
Si is not qualified to fight with Valencia's senior management. He is qualified to interfere in this kind of thing only when there are results.
"Then why are you talking to Roig..."
Riester waved his hand and interrupted Benitez's words. Benitez actually wanted to say that Roig's support for Riester and Benitez would never be based on his personal relationship with Riester. Riester and Roig
We have only known each other for seven months, so the friendship cannot be that deep. Roig also has his own purpose.
Benitez believes that Roig must hope that he will support him after he becomes the head coach, otherwise why would he support Benitez as the head coach. If he does not support Roig, how will Riester explain to him?
"Raphael, don't worry about this kind of thing, I will handle it. Didn't I say at the beginning that you only need to lead the team to play, and I will handle all the outside matters. Otherwise, what's the use of having me as an agent."
Benitez nodded.
"By the way, Rafael. Although this season is not over yet, you still have to prepare early to see what changes are needed to coach Valencia. Oti will contact you and communicate with him if you have any ideas.
He is very capable, so don’t be restrained when communicating with him. Just tell him your thoughts as a head coach.”
Riester has been in contact with many club executives so far, but Otti is definitely one of the best. This person has extraordinary vision and decisive style. He can also be in such a chaotic board of directors situation, and he is the representative of one of them, but he can
Stabilize the situation in Valencia. In terms of ability, Riester admires Otti very much.
Based on Riester's description, Benitez had a preliminary understanding of Valencia's senior management, the differences in the board of directors, etc. Benitez was worried about such a complicated situation, but he was not afraid.
Although Real Madrid doesn't have the open boardroom battles of Valencia, it's anything but peaceful. Benitez has seen this before.
It's just that Benitez was not qualified to participate in that kind of struggle back then. Now he has become the head coach. He is also considered a powerful figure in the club and has begun to participate in these aspects.
"Raphael, if you need any players, you can come to me. My scouting system is completely open to you."
Benítez is about to become the head coach of Valencia, and Rist is relieved. Rist has been tensing his nerves for the past two months just to get this matter done.
Valencia is not the current Inter Milan or Lazio, nor is it a club like Chelsea or Manchester City later. It is impossible to throw tens of millions of dollars into it, and invest hundreds of millions in a season. Even so, but
Valencia is also a club that dares to spend money. It is okay to spend 20 million US dollars for a player.
Lister worked so hard to let Benitez enter Valencia for a simple purpose. With Valencia's strength in recent seasons, of course this requires Benitez's efforts. Lister hopes to use Benitez to go to Valencia
West Asia promotes its own players and makes money for itself.
However, Lister did not directly say this to Benitez. Because at this stage, Lister hopes that Benitez will succeed more. As long as Benitez succeeds, there will be no one who fails in one or two transfers in the future.
Care. But if Benitez fails in the transfer market now, it will be easy for others to seize the weakness and start attacking. Therefore, List is very patient.
Benitez may have problems with expression, but his IQ and EQ are absolutely normal. At this stage, the salary of the head coach is very low, too little compared to the players. Riester is Benitez
After doing so much, Benitez knew that Lister wanted to use his position as head coach to transfer more of his players.
Therefore, after he met with Oti, his first request for player transfer was a high center forward, and he directly named Jankol. Jankol is indeed a very unusual high center forward, because such a player rarely appears in La Liga football.
A high center forward player. His height of 2.02 meters stands out among others in La Liga football, and he is a great deterrent to Spanish defenders.
This season he has scored 11 goals and seven assists at Extremadura Club. He is Benitez’s favorite player. Benitez hopes to take him to join Valencia.
He believes that with Valencia's strong wing attack ability, it is not impossible for Jankoler to score twenty goals in a season. In addition, he also has Riester's relationship, and he is very willing to take him away.
Oti negotiated with Benitez and immediately discussed Benitez's request with Cortez. Oti first affirmed Jankoler's strength, and then also considered the differences between Benitez, Riester and Jankoler.
relationship. In the end, he agreed to Benitez’s request and began to contact the Extremadura Club to discuss Jankoler’s matter. (To be continued.
