"Albelda, high ball... Jan Koller, Jan Koller leaned on Guardiola, headed the ball to Mendieta behind. Mendieta, pass!"

"López, Lopez has the ball. He's offside, he's past Reziger. Lopez, he goes into the box and shoots!"

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Benitez's Valencia and Ranieri's Valencia have not changed much.The midfielder uses Makelele and Albelda as the defensive midfielder, and their task is to intercept in the midfield.Needless to say, Makelele, as a 22-year-old young man, Albelda is currently one of the best defensive midfielders in Spanish football.

Albelda's position selection is excellent, his speed is not slow, and his stealing ability is strong. He is a very famous tough guy in Spanish football.With the protection of Makelele and Albelda, Valencia's defense is very stable.It is because of them that Mendieta is given enough space to let Mendieta play freely.The left, center and right do not restrict Mendieta, and Benitez gave Mendieta the greatest power.

Then both Lopez and Angulo are good counterattackers.Angulo is a traditional Spanish winger, fast and passionate, and he is very fast on the right when counterattacking.And Lopez is a counterattack general.

Benitez used Jan Koller to suppress the opponent's defense, and then relied on Mendieta, Lopez, and Angulo to counterattack.Because there is enough space, it is suitable for the three of them to play.

This is the case with Barcelona.Makelele and Albelda controlled the midfield and frantically grabbed the ball.After grabbing the ball, hand it directly to Jan Koller.Jan Kohler's skills are not bad.But needless to say the most powerful is the header.Among the current Spanish football defenders, there is no one who surpasses Jan Koller in terms of heading ability.

Jan Kohler's header advantage is too great.He was able to calmly watch his teammates' running positions and handed the ball to Mendieta behind him.Mendieta has strong ball control ability, excellent dribbling ability, and he is good at passing the ball.

So after stopping the ball, it is a beautiful through ball immediately.Passing from the junction between Barcelona's centre-back and full-back is just right for Lopez to play with his explosiveness and speed.This is the most suitable style of play for Lopez's counterattack.After Lopez started, Reziger couldn't keep up with Lopez's pace at all.

Barcelona played a three-back style in this game, and De Boer was the only central back.After Lopez started running, Rezig was already thrown away, even De Boer was too late.So De Boer could only retreat to protect the goal, but Lopez did not enter the penalty area.But after inserting from the left.It was a left-footed shot directly.The ball flew in from the near corner.

"Lopez. Lopez. Lopez is really Barcelona's nemesis. This is Lopez's No.11 game against Barcelona in Valencia and his No.12 goal in Valencia. Lopez is A veritable Bassac star."

Bug Lopez has been Barcelona's number one nemesis since joining Valencia.As long as he faces Barcelona, ​​Lopez is crazy.He faced Barcelona with a one-goal rhythm.

"Jaime López is a really good player. A counter-attacker too. Fits Valencia right now."

This is already the ninth round of La Liga this season.But Valencia's results are not very good.In the eight rounds that ended before, Valencia only got two wins, four draws and two losses, with only ten points.Currently only ranked No.8 in La Liga.Therefore, the pressure on Benitez is relatively high.After all, Ranieri allowed Valencia to enter the Champions League last season.But after the start of this season, it only ranks No.8.The important thing is that the opponents in the first eight rounds were not considered too strong, but there were four draws.

This is the ninth round of the game, and the home team faces La Liga giants Barcelona.Watching the game, Rist understood a little bit.For now, Benitez's transformation of Valencia is not over yet.Valencia's current style of play is relatively simple, relying more on counterattacks.Facing a weak team, there is no room for counterattack.In the face of an offensive team like Barcelona, ​​​​it performed very well.

As long as Benitez is given a period of time, Rist believes that Valencia's offense will become much richer.Benitez is a master of tactics, and designing various tactics is his forte.After a while, Rist believes that there will not be only one way to fight back like now.

"kindness."

Ottie nodded.For Otti, although the results this season are not very good, they are actually not ugly at all.Because although Valencia is No. 8, No. 4 in La Liga has only 3 points, and No. 3 has only [-] points.The gap between everyone is not big, until No.[-] is only six points, that is, the gap between two games.As long as Valencia has two victories, it will soon be able to close the gap.

Therefore, he has not expressed his position now, and it is not time for him to express his position.He also needs to pay attention. Although Benitez, who is only 39 years old, has been criticized by the media, Otti is quite satisfied.

"Inter Milan and Parma are both interested in Lopez, what do you mean?"

After arriving in Valencia, Rist finally understood why Craniotti was in such a hurry.Since Rist wanted to help, of course he found someone to understand the current situation of Lopez.After this understanding, Rist knew a lot.Now it is not just Lazio who is interested in Lopez. Inter Milan and Parma in Serie A are also interested in Lopez.In the summer, Valencia strongly rejected Lazio, which made Lopez a little angry.

After hearing the news, Rist let go of most of his heart.As long as Lopez is willing to transfer and Valencia is willing to let go, then the deal will be much simpler.Because it is easy for Rist to recommend Lazio among many buyers.Moreover, Lazio's generous spending is comparable to that of Inter Milan's Moratti.

"What did Raphael want to ask?"

Otti thought of Benitez.After all, Lopez is now a very important player for Benitez, if the club sells Lopez.He must have other ideas.

Rist didn't answer, and Ottie assumed it was.So he sighed weakly and said: "Rist, it is very difficult for me to keep Lopez for a season. His agent has already expressed his dissatisfaction to me. If he keeps Lopez again next season, I will I'm afraid that he will directly resist. If everyone is really tearing up their faces, it may be a chicken-and-egg fight. If you can keep the players, you can't keep Lopez's heart. His performance is not good, and it will be us who are unlucky when his value drops. .”

Rister nodded.Although Valencia is also a traditional strong team in Spain, European football is currently dominated by Serie A.Serie A is the best league, and almost all good players go to Serie A.Lopez is no exception.

Since it can't be kept.Then it's easy to say.So Rist said: "Jaime. Before I came to Spain, I received a call from Lazio's Chairman Craniotti. Didn't he want Lopez this summer? He hasn't given up yet, and hopes to express their Lazio position to you through me. .”

"Lazio?"

Otti's face darkened for a moment, and then he said angrily, "Rist, I didn't say anything. Craniotti's son is harder to serve than his father."

Rist laughed.It turned out that Otti and Craniotti had started a mess.It was Craniotti who came to talk to Lazio this summer about Lopez.Ottie's words did not end.Continued: "But we do business. I don't care about those things. How much Lazio is willing to pay."

Otti didn't like little Craniotti.But calm.When doing business, you can't put your personal preferences in the business.

"That depends on how big your appetite is. But I think it's about the same between 3000 million and 500 million. If you have the ability, you can sell 500 million. These are your things, as long as you want Just sell Lopez. And Lopez himself should choose Lazio. Because Lazio has many of his Argentine teammates."

Ottie didn't answer directly.He already understood what Rist meant, and Rist came to talk to him on behalf of Lazio.He has no resistance to Lopez's transfer to Lazio, as long as the money is given, it will be the same everywhere.

Between 3000 million euros and 500 million euros, this is a very good transfer fee.Otti thought for a while and said to Rist: "If Lazio is willing to buy Lopez after one season and there is enough transfer fee, our club can consider it."

"Then it's settled."

Talking about Lopez's problem turned out to be far simpler than Rist thought.Ottie had long thought about not being able to keep Lopez, which saved Rist a lot of saliva.If Otti hadn't sold Lopez's idea, it would be much more difficult to persuade.

Rist was in a good mood, looked at Otti and said, "Jaime, have you thought about Lopez's replacement?"

"I'm thinking about it. After all, there is still one season left. I believe I should be able to find it."

Rist smiled slightly and said: "How about it, Jaime. If you believe me, how about I recommend two players to you. I can guarantee that the two players I recommend to you are not worth as much as Lopez. It is not as expensive as Lopez. But neither of them is worse than Lopez. If you can take them both, Valencia's strength will be even higher."

Hearing what Rist said, Otti immediately sat up straight.He didn't underestimate Rist in the slightest, not because Rister is currently an agent with many players.Mainly because of his vision.The players he recommended to Valencia, as well as the players he recommended in cooperation with Extremadura, were excellent.Therefore, he also wants to hear the players recommended by Riester.

"One is the left forward Vicente of the Extremadura club. In terms of counterattack ability on the left, Vicente is no worse than Lopez, or even better than him. Moreover, Vicente is young and not worth much. Still a native Spanish player."

"He seems to be your player, half of the ownership is also in your hands?"

Vicente is a shining new star in La Liga in the past two seasons.This season, he has become the main left winger in Extremadura and performed very well.Many teams are paying attention to Vicente's development.

"Jaime, I will not smash my own brand. Although Vicente is my player, if he does not have the strength to gain a foothold in Valencia. Then I think about my reputation and the future of my players. I will not recommend it to you. Since I recommend it to you, it is because Vicente has the strength to become the main force in Valencia."

There is no embarrassment in recommending his own player Rist.Because of Vicente's strength, Rist did not treat Valencia badly.On the contrary, Rist recommended Vicente, which would benefit Valencia.

"Continue, there is another player who is..."

"Jaime, the player I'm going to recommend to you now is not an ordinary person. He is a super genius who is as talented as Ronaldo, and a player who can become the king of the ball in the future."

Hearing such a high evaluation from Riester, Otti's eyes widened.Because he was very surprised. Although he had not known Riester for a long time, he also knew that Riester would not speak nonsense.

What does it mean to be as talented as Ronaldo, a player who can become the king of the ball in the future.This evaluation is really too high, ridiculously high.Therefore, he really wanted to know who this was, who could make Rist look at him so differently.

"Ronaldinho from PSV. He's 19 this year, he'll be 20 next spring. He's the most talented player I've ever seen, and if Valencia can get him, it's heaven. "(to be continued...)
