"Rist, the recent situation is not good for me. Cortez has clearly expressed his support for Otti as the club president."

Francisco Roig is over 60 years old, but this year when he participated in the presidential election, his face was rosy again, as if he was ten or 20 years younger.Francisco Roig really likes Valencia, not for anything else.

The Roig family has been in Valencia for 200 years, and no one in Valencia does not know the three Roig brothers.Francisco Roig is even more famous in Valencia, and he does not need to use the chairmanship of Valencia to increase his popularity.Roig is just a pure Valencia fan, and he really wants to make some achievements in the position of Valencia chairman.

"Cortez?"

"Well. He has already issued a statement, saying that Otti is the most suitable candidate for the chairman of Valencia. He said that Otti is the number one contributor to Valencia's achievements in the past few seasons. He will fully support Otti to become Valencia. Chairman."

Francisco Roig was very dissatisfied when he talked about Cortes.Rist sighed, and Rist had thought about this a long time ago.Cortez, as the current chairman of Valencia, said that Riester admired him very much.Although Rist didn't see Cortez a few times, because Cortez himself is very low-key.Normally you don't see Cortez.

Cortez became the chairman of Valencia, completely the result of a strange combination of circumstances.As a minority shareholder of Valencia, he was not qualified to take over the position of Valencia's chairman.However, Roeg stepped down in embarrassment because of what happened to Mijatovic back then.Valencia's board is in disarray.After Roeg stepped down in embarrassment, he gritted his teeth for Soler.Therefore, Roig and Soler were fighting at the time. In desperation, the Valencia board of directors finally launched Cortez, the middleman, to become the chairman of Valencia.

When he became president of Valencia, Valencia was the most turbulent moment.What he played as the chairman of Valencia was the "inaction" governance method.First promoted Llorente to become the general manager of Valencia, and then made Otti the sports director of Valencia.Let Otti be in charge of sports, let Llorente be in charge of business, and he is completely behind, so that it is impossible to see that Valencia has a chairman.It's a pity that Llorente was born as a sports director, and he doesn't have any connections and strengths in business. After a few rounds, he quickly became embarrassed in the business field.But Otti, who became a monk halfway, did unexpectedly well.So Cortes gradually took back the power in the business field from Llorente.

After several confrontations, Llorente, Roeg's representative, was finally emptied, and then a new high-level Valencia headed by Cortez and Otti was formed.Four years.Cortez has been Valencia's president for more than four years in a low profile.Roig and Soler fight every day.But Cortez's position has been solid.

Being able to have both sides, so that neither faction will take measures against him, this ability is absolutely unique.Even sometimes you don't feel that Valencia still has a chairman, but under such circumstances Cortez completed Valencia's leap.I can't usually see it.Until now Cortez is about to step down.Only then did people silently realize how powerful Cortés was.

I have worked with Otti for a long time.Cortez was very fond of Ottie.Therefore, he strongly supported Otti before leaving office.It turns out that Roig and Soler are about the same in strength, but now Cortez, the former Valencia chairman, supports Otti, which immediately makes many neutral shareholders start to favor Otti.That's why Roeg hopes that Rist will come back quickly to help him regain the situation.

"Cortez and Otti have worked together for many years. It's no surprise."

Rist sighed.Rist really doesn't want to stand up at this time, because Valencia is now the most important moment.The Champions League has entered the quarter-finals, and in the league it is also a life-and-death struggle with Real Madrid.This is a sprint stage.

As long as Rist gets involved at this time, Benitez, including Jan Koller, Vicente, Jankulovski, who have a deep relationship with Rist, and even Ronaldinho, who has been a middleman for Rist, will all Get involved.This will definitely have a huge impact on Valencia's next results.

"Well. Sorel and I have almost the same level of support in the board of directors. Now Cortez is like this, which is not good for me."

"Tell me what you want me to do."

Although there are various unfavorable factors, since he had already agreed, Rist would never hesitate.

"There will be a reception at the club tomorrow night."

"I see."

Rister nodded.Many things can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, just like Rist's support for Roeg.Valencia is not a membership system, so there is no need to make a lot of noise like the election of the Real Madrid chairman.If it is a membership system, then Rist must bring Benitez and the others to support Roig and let all members see it.

But because Valencia is a joint-stock company.So as long as there is the will of the shareholders.It is enough to let those shareholders know that the team supports Roig during the club's reception.Those shareholders naturally know how to choose, especially neutral shareholders.

"Sorry, Raphael."

Riester is very sorry for Benitez.Because Valencia performed very well this season, compared to last season, Valencia's offensive ability has been greatly enhanced.

Benitez gradually built a golden left in Valencia.Jankulovski, Vicente, Ronaldinho, including Mutu are all active on the left.Valencia's attack on the left this season is so powerful that almost no team can resist it.When playing against Real Madrid again, Valencia's golden left directly disabled Real Madrid's right.So that Figo couldn't get Salgado's support on the right.Figo was very depressed throughout the game.

After the game, "Marca" directly wrote that Florentino should quickly buy Vicente.Because with the support of Jankulovski and Ronaldinho, Vicente exploded Salgado by himself.During the game, he completed two passes and one shot.In the end, they defeated Real Madrid 20-3000 at the Bernabeu.Shining throughout the game, Vicente, who was only [-] years old, became the most eye-catching new talent in Spain.Vicente's net worth increased even more.Now the Spanish media say that Vicente cannot take away without [-] million euros.

Now in La Liga, Valencia and Real Madrid are biting each other tightly, and no one has left the other.The points difference between the two sides is only one point, and Real Madrid leads Valencia by one point.In the Champions League, it also successfully broke through the two rounds of the group stage and entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League.Valencia's current strength is very good, and it is entirely possible to win the championship.

But at such an important moment, the battle in Valencia's board of directors has reached an intensification.It is very likely that the performance will be greatly affected.Rist thought about it and felt sorry for Benitez.

"No. Since I got the help of Mr. Roig two years ago to become the head coach of Valencia, of course I have to repay."

Benitez usually has a dead face, and his expression is not good at this time.Because the current situation in Valencia is very good.But Benitez did not blame Riester, on the contrary he supported Riester.Because there is no Roeg.There can be no Valencia's Benitez.He didn't like to owe people favors.Since he promised Roig two years ago.So now is the time to support Roeg.

Rister nodded and said, "Thank you, Rafael."

Although Benitez understands Rist, Rist still feels a little sorry for Benitez this time.Rist would love to make amends to Benitez.Considering how to compensate Rist.

Benitez is developing well in all aspects now.But the salary is still not high.Like the Premier League, Ferguson's current salary is already 350 million pounds.Converted into euros, it is more than 500 million euros.Wenger's salary is slightly lower.But also with £200 million.There are already a lot of managers in the Premier League whose salary exceeds one million pounds.Like Newcastle's Robson, Liverpool's Houllier, Chelsea's Ranieri, and Villa's John Gregory, their salaries are all over one million pounds.

In this way, Rist thinks that Benitez's salary is still less, and his income is somewhat less.Benitez should be compensated in other ways.

Not just Benitez.Rist also thought of Bobowski and Nedved.Because they are almost in their 30s now, although in terms of their careers, it is not impossible to play for five or six years, or even seven or eight years.But after they retire, they can't rest on their laurels.

Poborski and Nedved are not bad. In terms of their careers, they are estimated to have a net worth of about 2000 million euros when they retire.Even if there is no 2000 million euros, it is estimated to be around 500 million euros.But compared to the two of them, many other Czech players do not have such a good income.

Just like Garasek and Rockwenz, it is impossible for them to save tens of millions of euros when they retire.When the time comes to retire, how will they live.It is always impossible to rest on your laurels.Many players go bankrupt after retiring because they have no income after retiring and only know how to live on their laurels.Rist should be responsible to them as their agent.Not only to be responsible for their problems during their careers, but also to be responsible for their problems after retirement.You can't let your players go bankrupt and become beggars after retiring.

Benitez is his first head coach, and now Rist also has Juande Ramos, Pellegrini, and David Moyes in his hands.Do you want to learn from Stretford and let them participate in their own brokerage company.

But Rist quickly shook his head.Although there are many such things, and this is a good way to win them over.But Rist vetoed it.Because such a target is too large, it is easy to attract other people's attacks.Stretford has dominated the English league before and has been crazy for a long time.But also because of the strong pressure of public opinion and the pressure of the FA, he withdrew from the brokerage company he established.Then became Rooney's agent.

If Rist pulls all these head coaches into his brokerage company to become shareholders, he might also become a target for others.Or when FIFA or UEFA find fault with Rist, it's a real excuse.Rist doesn't want to do that.But how to give these head coaches some other income.

And my own players, how to help them.Many agents will set up some investment companies or something, and then help players manage assets.Although Rist is also helping players manage their assets now, they all adopt those risk-free methods.Although the professionals who helped Rist were all professionals, an effective company had not yet been formed.Maybe think of a way around this?

"Rist, don't be so distressed. I have a sense of propriety."

Benitez looked at Rist lost in thought, thinking he was worried about Valencia's performance.So comfort Rist.Rist smiled slightly, because it was not easy for a character like Benitez to be able to say such comforting words.

"Raphael, just this once."

Rist made a solemn promise to Benitez.In the future, Rist will never intervene in the club's affairs so casually, let alone involve his coach.

"I believe in you." (To be continued...)
