"Your current level can only go to the second division to exercise."

Messi's transfer was settled, and Rist was relieved. Messi has always been the player that Rist is most concerned about, and now he has finally come to Barcelona.No matter how famous Eindhoven is, it is only a young star.Even winning the Champions League in Eindhoven is not as good as winning the league title in Real Madrid and Barcelona.There is no way, the current European football is the genius of these giants.A player who wants to truly become a superstar in this era can only join a European giant.Joining Barcelona now is the beginning of his road to superstardom.

In 07, there were no big events, and there were no big competitions.But the difference is that this year is also the year with the biggest changes in European football.The president of UEFA has changed, and the era of Platini has come.The powerful and powerful Meng Er disintegrated in the past two years and died of his own internal strife. Ronaldinho, who was in charge of European football in the past two years, also fell.From the hope of becoming the king of the ball to now being criticized by the Barcelona media, Ronaldinho's depravity is simply beyond people's imagination.No one thought that a top superstar like Ronaldinho would fall so easily.

Chelsea, who crushed all opponents and won the Premier League championship for two consecutive seasons, also fell, and also died of internal strife.The internal strife between Mourinho and Shevchenko is behind the game between Mendes and Pini Zahavi, as well as the internal strife between Mourinho and Chelsea's top management.All kinds of negative news are on Mourinho. Anyway, Chelsea, the upstart who dominated the Premier League, has also fallen.

Of course, Rist came to France after heaving a sigh of relief.Not that Rist had anything else to do.It was Rist doing Arsenal a favour.Wenger sold away Reyes, who has not adapted to the Premier League this summer, and feels that there is a lack of some wide players.It stands to reason that Arsenal does not lack wide players.Cristiano Ronaldo, Van Persie, Reyes, and Ljungberg are all good wide players, as well as talented players like Walcott.

But this season is different.Wenger began to transform Cristiano Ronaldo into Arsenal's central striker, completely following Henry's path.After Henry left, Cristiano Ronaldo became Arsenal's center forward.

And it's been remodeled pretty well.Cristiano Ronaldo is fast, fit, has a good shot and a good header.After being built according to Henry's model, he can shoot from long distances, can solve it alone when counterattacking, and can head the ball in the penalty area.He scored 26 goals for Arsenal in all competitions this season, and succeeded from Figo to become Arsenal's chief shooter.

Wenger's transformation of Cristiano Ronaldo is not the same as Ferguson in history.Cristiano Ronaldo under Wenger is really about to become a center forward.He also knows how to stand in the penalty area, how to get rid of the defensive shots of the central defender and so on.Both Ferguson and Wenger are top coaches, and the results they can transform the same player are completely different.

Then Ljungberg left Arsenal.Reyes returned to Spain, and Van Persie gradually became a striker, walking in the direction of Bergkamp.As for Walcott, it's still too young.As a result, Arsenal lacked wide players at once.

At this time, Wenger was most short of money.Fortunately, the veteran Ljungberg was cleaned up and Reyes was sold, not only with some transfer fees, but also freed up salary space.Rist had already brought a wide player to Wenger before.That is Kalou, who is currently performing well at Feyenoord.Because there is only one year left in the contract, Wenger only spent 600 million pounds to get the strong support of Kalu.But this is not enough, so Wenger is going to introduce another wide player, and he is looking at Marseille's Nasri.

Now Jerome Anderson has been squeezed out of Arsenal, and Arsenal is in the hands of three agents, Riester, Carvajal, and Mendes.Carvajal has Fabregas, Mendes has Cristiano Ronaldo, Riester has two Ivorian players Kalou and Eboue.And the current Arsenal's main midfielder Baptista is also inextricably linked with Rist.

When Riester arrived in Marseille.It was found that the staff came to pick up Rist.The staff expressed embarrassment to Rist that Marseille's sports director would come to pick him up in person.But it was temporarily blocked by a player.

Rist nodded, and then followed the staff member to the door of Marseille sports director Jose Anigo's office.Right at the door, Rist heard Jose Anigo's impatient voice.

"But, Mr. Anigo. I think I..."

"Either in the second division, or stay in the youth team. I still have work. You go out."

Rist shrugged, and looked at the staff next to him with some doubts.Because Rist found that Anigo was very impatient with this player.I don't know what player is so unpopular.Anigo is not a person with a bad temper, how could he not give this player face like this.

"boom--"

A player opened the door very frustrated and was taken aback when he saw Rist and the staff.Although his face was very ugly, he still nodded to Rist and the staff, and then left the place.

He is a big man with a height of 1.9 meters, taller than Rist.Rist has a good impression of him, and he can be so polite under his own depressed situation, which is definitely a rare player in football.Just looking at this kind of self-cultivation is enough for Rist to look up to.If a player can maintain such an attitude, as long as his talent is not too bad, he will definitely be able to play.

"Who is this?"

"A player in our youth academy named Madesi Benatia. He didn't develop in our youth academy, so we loaned him to the second division. But he wanted to be loaned to the first division, so that Come and see Mr. Anigo."

"Oh!"

Madesi Benatia.This player, Rist, has some impressions. It happened to be the end of 2013 before Rister came to this time and space.In the summer of that year, Roma introduced a defender at a price of 1350 million euros, which was a very high transfer fee for Serie A where the transfer market was already very sluggish at that time.And also a central defender.It is quite surprising that Roma can spend 350 million euros.

Therefore, Rist simply checked the defender.In fact, Rist has been since "Phonegate".I haven't paid attention to Serie A for a long time.Therefore, some stars in Serie A are unfamiliar, and they only paid attention to Madesi Benatia when they were in the transfer market.Only to find that he had already performed very well in Udinese. He was once tied with Milan's Thiago Silva and Juventus' Barzagli as the three defenders in Serie A.More importantly, after moving to Rome, although Rist did not finish watching the 1314 season, his performance in the first half of the season was still very good.

At that time, when the best transfer in Serie A was selected, Madesi Benatia's name was also on the list, and he was compared with Kaka who came for free.It's just that Rist is not very familiar with this player after all, so he has long been forgotten.I didn't recognize him when I met him just now.If the staff member hadn't spoken his name, Rist would not have remembered this person at all.

Now that I think about it, it really is this player.What Rist doesn't know is that in history, Madesi Benatia performed so well in Rome that he became a favorite in the transfer market in the summer of 14.European football also believes that his worth can exceed 3000 million euros, and this is because he is in Rome.If it is in some other clubs, it may be worth more than 4000 million.

There are many giants interested in him, including giants such as Barcelona and Bayern.Think he can improve their backline.He is a very popular central defender in European football in the summer of 14.

"Oh, Rist. Sorry sorry."

Just when Rist was still thinking about Benatia, Jose Agni walked out.After seeing Riester, he apologized enthusiastically to Riester.

"Nothing, Jose."

Rist and Anigo knew each other.There are still many players in Marseille, such as the Kone brothers who play in Marseille.And Gervinho also played in Marseille.Rist is getting better and better in Ligue [-] because he controls the player resources of Côte d'Ivoire.

Rist came this time because of Nasri's affairs.But although he was talking with Anigo about the possibility of Nasri's transfer to Arsenal, he was thinking about Madesi Benatia at the same time.In the future, there will be fewer and fewer good central defenders in European football, so that the price of a good central defender is sky-high.Like Chelsea's David Luiz, he is not really the top central defender.But the worth is also 5000 million.

As long as the later central defenders operate well, it is easy to sell more than 3000 million.Selling 4000 million or 5000 million is the skill.Although Rist doesn't know about Benatia.But from the way Anigo treated him just now, we can know that this is a player who is not valued at all.

So after finishing the brief talk, Rist immediately returned to his branch.Then Rist began to investigate the matter of Benatia.

The more he looked at his profile, the more funny Rist felt.I don't know if Benatia offended Anigo in his previous life. Anyway, Anigo is not optimistic about Benatia at all.Benatia's background is okay, because he is a player from the famous Clairefontaine youth training camp in France. Although he is not the top talent of the Clairefontaine youth training camp, he is also a qualified graduate.

He is a player born in 87.In terms of the development of football, a large number of masters came out in 72, and 76 was another peak period.After these two times, although there are some good years later, they are still not as good as 72 and 76.The time cycle went back to 87, and it was another star peak period.

Such as Messi, Fabregas, Cavani, Suarez, Joe Hart, Hamsik, Vidal, Higuain, these people are all stars born in the 87 generation.And 87 is a very special year for French football, because after the golden generation in France, the most famous and loudest are the Four Little Swans.

Among the French Four Little Swans, Ben Alpha and Benatia are classmates of Clairefontaine, Nasri and Benatia are classmates of the Marseille youth training camp, and they are even roommates.As for Benzema and Mene, they are both in the same age group and have a good relationship with Benatia.But it's useless to have a good relationship. The four of them are now very popular, and they are hailed by French football as the flag bearers of French football in the future.

But Benatia was completely different.His roommate Nasri performed well in Marseille and has already attracted Wenger's attention.But Benatia was constantly being exiled.

On March 2006, 3, before the match against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes in Marseille, due to dissatisfaction with the number of seats and safety issues in the stadium, the president of the Marseille team, Pep Molde, called on the fans to boycott the game. It was also decided to let the Marseille reserve team play against Saint-Germain, which gave many young people the opportunity to show themselves on the Ligue 5 stage.The boys in the reserve team had a great performance in this game, and they drew with Saint-Germain.It's a pity that such a good opportunity, but Benatia failed to play in the game. He was left in Marseille by the team's sports director Jose Anigo."We don't think the player is capable of playing at this level," Anigo explained to L'Equipe.

In 2006, Saint-Etienne coach Eli Pope wanted to sign Benatia on loan, but Anigo responded that the defender could only be loaned to Ligue [-].Anigo told Pop that Benatia's level should not play in Ligue [-], he should play in France's second division.

This is the tragic Benatia.Some people already think that Benatia's strength is good, just like Pop admires Benatia very much.But Anigo doesn't think so.Anigo believes that Benatia is not strong enough and can only play in the second division.But loaning is not easy in itself, because if you are lucky, you can get a chance to play.Sometimes the luck is bad, and the clubs that loan players are unwilling to bother to train players, so they can only sit on the bench.

Benatia is already 20 years old, but so far only played a few games in Tours in the second division last season.Anigo can be regarded as a very capable sports director, but it is so unfair to Benatia that he is not given a chance at all.And they always beat him, thinking that he doesn't have the strength to play Ligue [-] at all.I really regret signing a three-year professional contract with him two years ago, and wish I could get rid of him quickly.

After reading it, Rist could only smile wryly.Benatia can be regarded as a bit of a loser, having run into such a sports director who is not optimistic about him.Rist also got some footage of his practice and games from last season.On the whole, he is still young, so he is a little reckless.But he has a serious attitude towards the game, strong ability to grab the ball, fierce grabbing the ball, and good marking ability.And no matter what kind of opponent he faces in the whole game, he can maintain his seriousness for nine to 10 minutes.

From this point of view, it should be said that the ability is not too bad, and I don't know why Anigo looks down on him whether he lives or dies.Rist is not clear about Benatia's history, it's just a pity for such an excellent central defender.What Rist didn't know was that what happened to Benatia in history was the beginning of the tragedy.He continued to be ignored in Marseille and then went on loan to the second division team.After going out on loan next season, the club will not give him the chance to play at all.He was injured in January next year, but Marseille didn't care about him at all after the injury.In the end, he had no choice but to transfer freely to the French second division when the contract expired, and began his life of struggle.Started from the French second division to Udinese, and then performed well to join Roma. At the age of 27, he was favored by European football giants, and his net worth rose to 3000 million euros.

But this period of history in Marseille also made Benatia abandon the French national team and instead joined the Moroccan national team.It is precisely because of Anigo's contempt and suppression that France lost a top central defender that should have belonged to them.

"It's a waste, it's too wasteful. Jose is simply ruining a good player. Since you don't cherish him, don't blame me for taking him away."

Such a good player fell from the sky, if he didn't pick it up, it would not be an act of being struck by lightning.Anyway, the money was sent to him, and he would be an idiot if he didn't pick it up.
