I Want to Be the King of Football

At home in Valencia early Sunday morning.

In the study, Benitez sat in front of the computer monitor, repeatedly studying the game video.

On the desk in front of him, there is a notebook, densely filled with words, drawn with many tactical sketches, the sketches are covered with various routes, and it looks like a chaotic maze .

Only Benitez could see clearly what was being drawn in these tactical sketches.

The video of Sporting Lisbon is constantly playing on the monitor in front of him. Benitez's eyes are always focused on one person, that is, the No. 36 player Su Dong.

If there is no picture of Su Dong, he will always fast forward.

A game was watched very quickly, but he watched it over and over again, stopping from time to time to record something and draw something.

Time passed the early morning unknowingly, but Benitez had no sleepiness.

He is such a person. As long as he encounters something that interests him, he can study it day and night until he understands it, but it has been a long time since he met someone who interested him so much. player.

Su Dong, a player full of suspense.

I don't know how long it took, a sudden phone call woke Benitez up.

The Spaniard woke up from his obsession, glanced at his mobile phone without complaint, and found that the caller ID was his right-hand man, Paco Yesterdam, and the complaint disappeared.

Hi, Paco. Benitez answered the phone and greeted coldly.

I knew you must not have slept yet, still watching the video?

[Reading to receive red envelopes] Follow the public .. public account [Book Friends Base Camp], reading books to draw up to 888 cash red envelopes!

Benitez did not answer, be regarded as a default.

Come on, Rafa, how many times have you read it over and over and still haven't figured it out? Yesterdam was surprised.

Benitez is an amazing guy. He is always very rational and calm. He can organize and formulate all the complicated and difficult things. He even thinks that there is a winning formula in this world.

Such a person, who has studied for so long, still has not figured it out?

He's too complicated, Benitez sighed.

You don't want it anymore? Yesterdam was a little surprised.

No no no, I want him to come to my team so I can watch him more closely.

Yesterdam chuckled, this is the Benitez he knew.

Tell you the latest news.

Well, you said.

Just now, the first stage of voting completed at midnight, and the results came out.

He won?

Including the majority shareholder votes in his own hands, Roeg won a total of more than 95,000 votes, and Jaime Otty has only 50,000 votes, which means that despite the second phase of the majority shareholder vote next Saturday, the remaining All 40,000 votes went to Otty and he couldn't beat Roeg.

When he heard the news, Benitez, who has always been overwhelmed with joy and anger, showed joy, and there was a faint sense of relief.

For a long time, the three big stones that had been pressing on his head finally fell to the ground.

...

Benitez coaching Valencia is not as good as the outside world imagined.

He was signed by the former chairman, Cortez, and as a result, just a few days after he took office, Cortez lost the election to Otti.

There were three fires when the new official took office. As soon as Oti came up, he replaced all the management of Valencia with his own. Only the head coach Benitez was restricted by the contract and was forced to stay in office, but the general manager Llorente and Sporting director Pittaci has made things difficult for his coaching in every possible way, the most obvious of which is not giving him a transfer budget.

Valencia is indeed not rich, but it is by no means so difficult.

Benitez is not stupid. He knows that whether it is the chairman Otti, or Llorente and Pittaci, they are trying to force him to resign, but he is also very hard-headed, and he just stays in office and leads the team. won the La Liga title in the first season.

Last season's performance declined, but he still performed well, beating Vigo Celta at the last minute and qualifying for the Champions League.

In front of the results, even if the top management is not pleasing to the eye of Benitez, they can only endure it.

As early as the winter break, Benitez proposed that he wanted to sign Su Dong, but no one cared what he wanted.

Even if he repeatedly mentioned Su Dong in the media and at internal high-level meetings, they were still indifferent.

Until the re-election of the chairman, when the major shareholder Roig partnered with Subirac to campaign, Benitez saw a silver lining.

Roeg insisted on the campaign line of Florentino, knowing that the team's striker was weak, so he used Ruud van Nistelrooy and Trezeguet, two of the world's top centers, as his campaign weapons, threatening that once he won the chairmanship, He immediately brought in one of these two superstars.

But what's interesting is that Valencia's members and shareholders are not stupid. Who can't see that Valencia is strong from outside and hard at work?

With Roeg as chairman, will the club have the money to introduce such a superstar?

During that time, Roeg's polls remained lower than the current chairman Otti, until Subirac stepped in and persuaded Roeg to change his campaign strategy and abandon Ruud van Nistelrooy and Trezeguet. Su Dong was chosen and catered to the coach Benitez, which received an indirect response from Benitez.

Su Dong's performance was also very promising, leading Sporting Lisbon to reverse Porto to win the championship in the Portuguese Super League, and then defeated Celtic in the UEFA Cup final to win the championship, winning two heavy championships in one fell swoop, and at the same time winning Portugal. The best player of the season in the Super League Cup.

He is only eighteen years old!

With the performance of the game, Su Dong became famous, and Valencia fans increasingly accepted Roig's slogan, because Su Dong is far more in line with Valencia's reality than Ruud van Nistelrooy and Trezeguet. situation.

Otti also quickly changed the strategy of the superstar, and turned to emulate Roig, pushing the top scorer of the Copa Libertadores, Brazil striker Oliveira, but this player is not what Benitez wants.

So much so that at the end of the season, some media asked Benitez whether he wanted Sudong or Oliveira?

Benitez jokingly said at the time: Some players are like a sofa, some players are like a lamp, they each have their own uses, but you can't when I ask for a sofa, you force me a lamp, It's not appropriate.

The media immediately asked again, who is the sofa? Who is the desk lamp?

Benitez smiled rarely, Su Dong is a very comfortable sofa.

The answer is already very obvious.

But no matter how obvious, after all, it still has to wait until the ballots are announced.

...

I got the news that Roeg fired Llorente and Pitage on the spot after he received 95,000 votes and decided to win the presidential election, and immediately appointed Javier Subirac as the chairman. Club general manager.

Yesterdam smiled and announced the big happy event that just happened in the early morning.

Jaime Otti stepped down, Llorente and Pittaci were dismissed, and the three mountains that had been pressing on Benitez for a long time were finally removed.

At this moment, Benitez is all relaxed. He has an urge to cheer loudly. He has an extremely strong desire from the bottom of his heart. He has endured it long enough.

Thinking of this, Benitez is not willing to delay for a minute.

Hanging up the phone in Yesterdam, Benitez immediately called Javier Subirac, who had just taken office.

Subirac was still at the election site, accepting congratulations from everyone with Roeg.

Seeing that it was Benitez's call, he immediately walked out of the scene and connected to a place where no one was there.

Rafa, got the news so soon? Subirats asked with a smile.

He is a Valencia football legend and has a very good relationship with Benitez.

Javier, I don't want to pretend to you, I want to tell you that we have the strongest goalkeeper, the strongest defense, and the strongest midfield. Now, you give me Su Dong, and I promise to win for you. The next champion!

Benitez said loudly.

Subirac sighed inwardly, this guy is still so direct and rude, but fortunately he is an acquaintance.

Rafa, I know, don't worry, I will start as soon as possible.

No no no, Javier, it can't just be as fast as possible, it has to be as fast as possible, as fast as possible.

Benitez was a little impatient, Sevilla has been in contact with them all the time, Deportivo is going to send Roy Mackay, Irueta, the old guy, I know him, he must be interested in Su East, and Bayern Munich's Heathfield, who is also an old fox, there is no guarantee that after he gets Ma Kai, he will not miss Su Dong...

Rafa, don't worry, I've been in touch with Mendes.

I have been waiting for this day for two years. Javier and Valencia have been waiting for this day for nearly ten years.

Benitez's words made Subirac stunned.

Who said it wasn't?

The current Valencia team started from the time of Ranieri's coaching. The tinker laid the foundation for the team, and then reached its peak under the coaching of the Argentine Cooper, and a group of stars such as Mendieta emerged. .

But at that time, Valencia reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years at most. As a result, both were defeated by Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, and they missed the Champions League championship. Since then, Valencia has also fallen into disintegration.

From Ranieri's foundation, to Cooper's close to the top, to Benitez's succession, Valencia has been full of anger and unwillingness over the years, because they have been infinitely close to the Champions League twice and missed the opportunity twice.

Subirac is a famous Valencia legend, and he naturally feels the same way.

Now Valencia is indeed strong and strong, whether it is defense or midfield, they are very sturdy, but only on the front line, it has always been the biggest pain in the hearts of the Bat Legion.

Whether it was Karoo or Salwar, they once brought hope, but they were ruthlessly dashed.

Over the years, Valencia, from the head coach to the fans, has been waiting hard.

Javier, give me Su Dong, I have the confidence to fight for all the championships! Benitez said confidently.

Subirac took a deep breath, calmed down, nodded and said, I see, Rafa, don't worry, I'll contact Mendes immediately, and I'll bring Su Dong back to you this summer!
