Chapter 302

Benitez is gone!

After the official announcement, Benitez called Su Dong to tell him the news.

It is said that everyone else just sent a text message.

Benitez is a bad-spoken person, and he didn't say much to Su Dong. He only said that he had a new pursuit. On the contrary, it was assistant coach Yesterdan, who was a member of Benitez's team and naturally left the team.

On the phone call to Su Dong, Yesterdan explained the reason.

Since coaching Valencia in the past few years, Benitez has repeatedly expressed interest in leaving the team. Even last summer, if Valencia did not sign Sudong in the end, Benitez might leave the team angrily.

"It can be said that you let him stay in the team for an extra year!"

After winning his second La Liga title and a Champions League title, Benitez has nothing to pursue in Valencia. Especially this year in La Liga, either Su Dong left, or key players such as Aimar and Ayala left. It is difficult for Valencia to reproduce the peak of the past season.

Just at this time, Liverpool fired the French coach Houllier and contacted Benitez. The two hit it off. Liverpool promised to give Benitez more power, and Benitez wanted to go to Liverpool to try.

"Both Roig and Subirac tried to stay, but Rafa has decided to go, you know, he is so stubborn!"

Su Dong couldn't help but smile at Yeserdan's joke.

For Benitez, Su Dong's feelings are very contradictory.

He has always felt that there is a sense of alienation between himself and Benitez, and it is always difficult for the two to get together.

On the contrary, it is the assistant coach Yesterdan, who can get along with the players.

It was as if now, when he was about to leave the team, Benitez called and just gave an announcement, then hung up without saying a few words.

But Yesterdan is different. He called and could chat with Su Dong for a while.

This is the difference!
Sometimes, Su Dong really felt that Benitez just couldn't do without Yesterdam, otherwise, there must be something wrong with his coaching!
"Rafa said that leaving Valencia, his only regret is that Liverpool is too poor!" Yesterdam said with a wry smile.

"Why?" Su Dong was a little puzzled.

"If he could, he would really like to buy you to Liverpool, but now you are too expensive, Liverpool can't afford it!"

Su Dong smiled wryly, is this a compliment to him?
Valencia's price for him was indeed quite high, from the earliest 3000 million euros to 4000 million and 5000 million later. After the Champions League final, there was news outside that Valencia's price for Sudong was no less than 7000 million euros.

What is this concept?
The world number one superstar Zinedine Zidane transferred from Juventus to Real Madrid at a record high transfer fee of 500 million euros. Now, Valencia bids Sudong as high as 7000 million euros, which is more than that. Even Sudong himself can't believe it.

"Frankly speaking, Paco, I don't have high requirements for personal treatment, and I think more about competitive factors." Su Dong said.

"That's right, Su." Yesterdan replied: "You are still young, money is not important to you, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity, rush forward in one go, elevate your career to a whole new level, and establish your position in European football and even the world football."

"At your age, if you want to make money, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and even you may not be short of money now, but if the next step of transfer is not handled well, you may fall at any time. There are too many cases like this, and you must pay enough attention. It is best to join a giant that can play steadily and can help you operate."

"If you can break into the top three Golden Globe Awards and World Player of the Year, or even win these two individual honors at the end of the year, your career will be completely different."

Su Dong understood, "But it's hard, Paco."

This year is the year of the European Cup. Although Su Dong has performed very well in the Champions League and La Liga, generally speaking, the performance of the European Cup is more important in the competition year. If any superstar shines in the European Cup, there is basically nothing about Su Dong.

"So, this kind of thing is to do your best and obey the destiny. The most important thing for you now is to find a team that can help you operate, maintain this performance in the first half of the year, maintain this momentum, and keep going forward. As for the others, it is beyond your control."

Yesterdam said it bluntly, but professional football is like that sometimes.

This year is a great opportunity for Sudong.

If he catches it, his career will be completely different, but if he misses it, he doesn't know when it will come again.

According to Yesterdam, Chelsea basically does not have such operational capabilities.

"Paco, why do I think that you are afraid that I will transfer to the Premier League and become your enemy?" Su Dong laughed.

Yesterdan was taken aback for a moment, then realized that he was about to go to Liverpool, and immediately laughed out loud.

"If you have the ability, you'd better join Manchester United, we are still sworn enemies."

But soon, Yesterdan changed the subject, "Ferguson, an old fox, is best at watching from the sidelines. I guess he thinks that you are too popular, too hot, and worth too much, so he wants to deal with it coldly."

"Everyone knows that Manchester United lacks a midfielder, but look, Stam has left the team for a few years. Apart from one Ferdinand, how many defenders have Manchester United bought? Because the value of defenders is high now. Real Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona and other giants are short of defenders. Ferguson would rather not buy them than spend a lot of money."

"Ferguson is too familiar with the Premier League." Su Dong deeply agreed. "With his coaching ability and Manchester United's strength, he has the confidence to play well without buying a defender. That's why he dared to do this. It would have been too late for someone else."

"That's right, this is the difference in rank!"

…………

After hanging up on Yeserdan, Su Dong thought a lot.

In terms of the ability to operate the World Footballer and the Ballon d'Or, Real Madrid must be the well-deserved No. [-] in the world.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that most of the recent World Footballer and Ballon d’Or awards have been monopolized by Real Madrid, which makes Real Madrid a well-deserved top giant in the world and has attracted countless players.

But the problem is that it is impossible for Real Madrid to devote all their resources to help Su Dong, because Real Madrid itself also has a vote of superstars.

Barcelona is one of the most influential top giants after Real Madrid, and also has super star operation ability. Looking at the current lineup of Barcelona, ​​only Ronaldinho has the highest award.

Judging from the performance of the past season, Ronaldinho is certainly outstanding, but Su Dong has better results and better performances, and they all come from La Liga. Unless there is a reversal in the second half of the season, or Su Dong's club is too hip, otherwise, Su Dong is likely to suppress Ronaldinho.

If there is no accident, Su Dong's biggest competitors for the [-] Golden Globe Awards are three.

Ronaldinho in Barcelona, ​​Henry who helped Arsenal win the undefeated championship, and Andriy Shevchenko who played for AC Milan.

Among them, according to the Italian media, Shevchenko intends to transfer to Chelsea, but AC Milan tried to keep him by helping the Ukrainian nuclear warhead operate the Golden Globe Awards. It is said that Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi personally lobbied.

The current situation in Serie A is a bit complicated. The wealthy teams generally tighten their money, especially after Roma and Lazio are deeply in debt crisis, the situation in Serie A is even worse. It is impossible for Serie A to come up with such a high transfer fee to operate Sudong.

Then, in fact, there are even fewer options left for Su Dong.

This is also normal, the more top stars, the fewer transfer options.

……

Su Dong has always maintained close contact with Mendes, paying attention to the movements of European football.

The biggest news in the La Liga transfer market is that Real Madrid learned from the experience and lessons of last season and began to introduce midfielders and defenders in the transfer market. First, Gravesen was introduced from Everton, Samuel was introduced from Roma, Woodgate was introduced from Newcastle, and three powerful defensive players were introduced in one go.

Real Madrid's continuous big moves shocked the entire Spanish football world.

You know, before Real Madrid was strong in offense and weak in defense, and defense was a persistent problem, but now, with the joining of two outstanding central defenders, Samuel and Woodgate, plus Gravesen in the midfielder position, everyone believes that Real Madrid will become stronger in the new season.

After successively introducing midfielders and backcourt players, Real Madrid also began to operate the superstars in the frontcourt.

According to reports from Real Madrid’s mouthpiece, Aspen, the negotiations between Real Madrid and Valencia were not going well. There was a problem with the introduction of Sudong. Valencia was not willing to sell Sudong to Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has also begun intensive preparations for a replacement plan. Once Su Dong is not signed, they will introduce England striker Michael Owen from Liverpool.

Valencia general manager Subirac issued a public statement stating that the team has not reached an agreement with any club on the transfer of Sudong, which also means that Valencia is still up for grabs.

Of course, according to the terms of the contract, no matter which offer Valencia finally decides to accept, Su Dong has the final decision, and he can get 20.00% of the transfer fee.

This undoubtedly gives him more autonomy in this transfer.

……

Real Madrid signed a lot of signings, and Barcelona was also not idle.

After Belletti and Sylvinho were finalized early, Valencia signed Deco from Porto and Edmilson from Lyon. The joining of these Brazilian players allowed Barcelona's Selecao to expand rapidly.

Barcelona is also actively operating Sudong. World Sports News broke the news that Chairman Laporta is going to do his best to introduce Sudong to balance the team's dependence on Brazilian players, especially Ronaldinho, and then share the influence of Vice Chairman Russell in the locker room.

Anyone can see that the battle between the Western Super League duo and the Soviet Union and the East is heating up.
