Chapter 141 Benitez
It is already summer in June, but the whole of Britain still maintains its unique scenery. The blue sky rarely appears, and more often it is a gray sky.

Benitez sat in the car where the Liverpool club greeted him. On the way to the Liverpool club, he quietly looked at the scenery along the road.In fact, Benitez is not really admiring the scenery, on the contrary he is thinking about some things.

Benitez's life as a player was not very good, and he was not outstanding.Although he once joined the Real Madrid Junior Team, his progress was not fast, which meant that Benitez was not qualified to play for his favorite Real Madrid.

With the constant transfers, Benitez has been working hard in the first and second divisions, spent his football career in silence, and finally started his coaching career.

The first season in Valencia can be said to be a brilliant season. Benitez led Valencia to grab the La Liga championship from Barcelona and Real Madrid, making Valencia taste the championship again after a lapse of 31 years.At that time, Benitez was God in the hearts of the club, players and fans in Valencia.

Thinking of this, Benitez couldn't help showing 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 caused Valencia to achieve nothing in the 2001-2002 season, 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 all made Benitez feel particularly sad.You must know that Benitez is not a world-class coach. To be able to coach a strong team like Valencia in La Liga, to be honest, Benitez is already very satisfied.

However, due to various reasons, Benitez began to have doubts about his idea of ​​staying in Valencia. Sometimes Benitez even thought very angrily, who made you taste the champion for 31 years.Why do you doubt me and don't trust me in just one season of defeat!
Even so, Benitez didn't say it out, not because he didn't work hard, but because the club and the team didn't cooperate.What made Benitez even more angry was that some players on the team actually challenged his authority, especially the damn little man, represented by the Argentine Aimar.

Don't look at Aimar's small stature, he looks like a big boy next door, his personality is not very good, and he frequently fights against himself.In the end, I pushed Aimar on the bench. This kid was the Argentines Ayala and Gonzalez in the joint team, putting pressure on the club. In the end, the club stepped forward and asked himself to let Aimar play.

Thinking of this, Benitez felt very angry. As the head coach of a team, he still has to dictate what club he uses. This is not to make it clear that he does not trust him, or to interfere with his advice.Thinking that as the head coach of the team here, he can't even beat a single player, Benitez is angry and depressed.

However, Benitez is also very clear that he is not an iron-blooded coach like Ferguson and Capello. As long as it is not pleasing to the eye, he will definitely suppress it. At the same time, Benitez also understands that he has no such qualifications.

Fabio Capello and Ferguson are not targeting the top players in the world. Looking at myself, even Aimar with a big fart can't handle it. They are all human. Why is the gap so big?

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

But this time Benitez did not rush to agree to Liverpool. On the contrary, when talking about conditions with Liverpool, the salary is not a problem for Benitez.But Benitez strongly demanded that since the Liverpool club asked him to be the head coach, he should give himself absolute authority and trust, and who he wanted to buy, whom to sell, who to play and when to play, these were all his own affairs, and the club could not interfere.

Liverpool finally agreed to Benitez's conditions, and even admitted frankly that if you absolutely need it, even if Irving is put on the bench for me, the club will definitely ignore it.From this point of view, it can be seen how much trust and authority Liverpool has given Benitez, so now Benitez only appears in the Premier League and Liverpool.

Of course, Benitez is not a fool. For Liverpool to give him such great authority, his main purpose is to let him bring Liverpool to achieve good results. It is best to win the championship, and at the worst to qualify for the Champions League.

The two-year contract is there, and Benitez understands that the first year may be because he just came to Liverpool and is not familiar with the Premier League. The club can still allow himself to make mistakes, as long as he can guarantee the qualification for the Champions League.But in the second year, if I haven't led Liverpool to achieve any good results, I'm afraid it's time for me to say goodbye to Liverpool.

Benitez understands that Liverpool chose him not because he is really good, but because of world-class coaches. Now all of them have their own teams to coach, some are wealthy clubs, some are national teams.Even if Liverpool wanted to poach someone, they probably wouldn't be able to.

And Liverpool's bad season is destined to leave Houllier, and Liverpool must find a new coach.In addition, I have a brilliant coaching experience in Valencia.So Liverpool chose themselves in the end, and perhaps they also hoped that they could complete the feat that Liverpool had achieved in Valencia. In the first year, they led the team to a championship that they hadn't won for a long time.

Of course, if his performance is not good, Benitez has no doubt that Liverpool will immediately dismiss him as head coach.As for the two-year contract, it was simply a piece of waste paper.

"Mr. Rafa, I am Parry, the general manager of Liverpool. Welcome to Liverpool. I believe you will be able to spend a good time in Liverpool."

When Benitez came to the Liverpool club, Parry, as a representative of Liverpool, welcomed Benitez's arrival.At the same time, representatives of the players were also greeted. After the captain Redknapp left, Hyypia, who became the captain of the team, also came here.

"Hehe, hello, Mr. Parry. I'm Rafa. Liverpool is a beautiful city. I believe I will like it here." Benitez was not moved by Parry's enthusiasm, because Benitez knew that if the Liverpool he led did not perform well, it might be the same Parry in front of him. He arrogantly told himself that he could get out.

"Hello, Mr. Rafa, welcome to Liverpool." Hyypia took a step forward and shook hands with Benitez.

"Hehe, thank you. Liverpool is a great team of players. At the same time, Liverpool also has a group of outstanding players. Of course, Sami, you are also the best player in the world." Regarding Hyypia's greetings, Benitez was still very polite.

Unlike Parry, Hyypia is currently the captain of the Liverpool team and the representative of the players. For Benitez, the relationship with the players still needs to be handled properly.Although he is the head coach, he did not dare to be very arrogant in front of Hypia and leave a bad impression on Hypia.Because Benitez has deeply experienced the consequences of players not cooperating in Valencia, that kind of feeling, Benitez does not want to experience it again in Liverpool.

(Due to the needs of this book, Lao Huo packed up and went home early, and Lao Bei took office early. The most important thing is that I like Lao Bei, not Houllier. It started from the century reversal in the Champions League final. Readers can see clearly, let alone I have no common sense.)
