Chapter 688 A Phone Call

"Goodbye, Benitez is finally gone! "

This is a Gazzetta dello Sport.

This report announced the news of Benitez's dismissal to readers in a joyful and excited tone.

Benitez officially became the coach of Inter Milan in June 2010. He signed a two-year work contract with the Nerazzurri.

But in the new season, Benitez led the team to an unsatisfactory record.

In the European Super Cup in August, Inter Milan lost 0:2 to Atletico Madrid, losing the only chance in the 102-year history of the team to hit the championship.

In the new season, Benitez's team has a sluggish record in Serie A and the Champions League. As the Serie A champion for five consecutive championships, Inter Milan is 13 points behind the top Milan in less than half of the league.

In the UEFA Champions League, Inter Milan, who became the seeded team, not only qualified second in the group, but also suffered a 1:5 bloodbath by Aston Villa in the away game, marking the team's biggest loss since 2004.

Of course, with a 4-0 lead at home and one more player in the game, Aston Villa scored five goals in a row and staged a super reversal, which made Inter Milan a big laughing stock in Europe.

So Benitez suffered a crisis of confidence.

In the previously concluded Club World Cup, Benitez led the team to defeat the Asian champions and African champions to win the championship.

Originally, this was considered a good opportunity for him to fight for a longer coaching period.

But after the game, Benitez suddenly "provoked" Moratti, bombarded the club for not supporting him enough, and said something like "Either buy me four players in winter, or talk to my agent" threatening words.

So far, he has broken with Inter Milan.

As a result, his ultimatum did not result in Moratti's compromise. After finishing his business trip in Madrid, Moratti returned to Milan to hold a high-level meeting and decided to fire Benitez.

Inter Milan's Pinetina training base, the office of head coach Rafael Benitez.

Last night, Benitez received a call from the club's top management, officially notifying him of his dismissal.

Gazzetta dello Sport reported the news of his dismissal on the front page today, with a very uplifting tone.

Benitez looked angry. This incident gave him the feeling that the entire Inter Milan and half of Milan City couldn't wait to see him get out.

Whether it is the club's attitude towards him, the attitude of the fans towards him, the uncooperative attitude of the veterans in the locker room, the unfriendly attitude of the Italian media towards him, etc., etc., all make Benitez's attitude towards Italy and the city of Milan. Bad impression.

At this moment, Benitez selectively forgot his poor team performance.

People will subconsciously find reasons for themselves.

The pride and complacency of the team veteran, the distrust of the club's top management, insufficient support for him, and unfavorable signings are all the fundamental reasons for Benitez's poor record.

Anyway, the reason on my body is the smallest.

...

Coutinho stood at the door of the coach's office, hesitant.

The coach informed him yesterday to come to the office to talk today, and then he heard the news of Benitez's dismissal this morning.

Coutinho has been hesitating whether he should come here before.

It stands to reason that Benitez has already dismissed get out of class, and he doesn't need to pay attention to Benitez anymore.

It's just that, whether it's for promoting young people against veterans who won the Triple Crown, or for other reasons, Benitez does give young people more playing time.

In a sense, Benitez is good for Coutinho.

Therefore, when the young Coutinho hesitated, he finally came.

"Felipe?" Benitez looked surprised when he saw Coutinho. He didn't expect Coutinho to come.

"Coach, I, I want to tell you." Coutinho was a little shy, "Thank you for your help and trust in me."

"It's because you performed well and are worthy of my trust." Coutinho's arrival obviously made Benitez feel a lot better, and Benitez's tone, which has always been rigid, became "gentle." ', "Come in and sit down and try my exclusive handmade coffee."

"Ah, thanks, Coach."

"Felipe, you are a very talented player..." Benitez said, and at this moment, his mobile phone rang.

Looking at the phone number, Benitez had a strange expression on his face. He turned his head and glanced at Coutinho who was a little embarrassed, "I'll answer the call."

As he said that, Benitez connected the phone casually. He didn't know if he pressed the wrong button because he was packing up again. After Benitez pressed it, he pressed the hands-free button casually.

...

"Raphael, I thought you would be too ashamed to answer the phone."

"Why don't I dare to answer the phone?" Benitez tied a stack of documents with a rubber band, "I don't owe you anything, Mr. Fang Jue."

"Hey, hey, I called you last time and said that I admired Coutinho. You said you would think about calling me. Now you are all fired, and I haven't waited for your call. " Fang Jue pouted, it seemed that Benitez was really in a bad mood, otherwise he wouldn't have said 'Mr. Fang Jue' in such a loud voice.

"If I was still the coach of Inter Milan, I would not sell Coutinho."

"Yes, yes, you are not the head coach of Inter Milan now, and you don't even have this right."

"As far as I know, after Ronaldinho joined Aston Villa, Villa has no shortage of players on the offensive end."

"Veterans will eventually grow old. Aston Villa needs fresh blood. In my opinion, Coutinho is as talented as Bale and Mane. In the future, this will be the best young offensive combination in Europe." I don’t feel like I’m hiding anything, Benitez has already dismissed get out of class, so if you can’t say something to Ferguson and Wenger, you can say it to Benitez.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Benitez has a tight mouth and never has a big mouth.

"It seems that you really appreciate Coutinho very much."

"Of course." Fang Jue said.

"I'm no longer the head coach of Inter Milan, and it's useless for you to tell me." Benitez said.

"That's right." Fang Jue laughed loudly, "Okay, Rafael, happy holidays..."

"Then I also wish you good results in leading the team to achieve 45 unbeaten games." Benitez said.

Just yesterday, in the 20th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa drew 2-2 against Manchester City in an away game. Gareth Bale took a free kick and scored the goal in stoppage time. He won 45 unbeaten games, which also became the focus of European media reports after the game.

The media once again praised Gareth Bale for scoring the perfect goal.

A Gareth Bale, a Diego Costa, the two young men of Aston Villa can be said to be very hot now.

"Ah, it's just 45 unbeaten games, it's not good enough..."

Before Fang Jue could finish speaking, Benitez pressed the hang up button.

This guy really wants to beat him up.

...

"Coach, then, was that Coach Fang Jue just now?" Coutinho stammered and asked.

"It's him." Benitez nodded lightly.

"Aston Villa's coach Fang Jue?" Coutinho reconfirmed.

"That's right."

"I seem to have heard coach Fang Jue say that he appreciates me and wants me to go to Aston Villa." Coutinho said a little excitedly. Fang Jue must be famous for his good eyesight. Young players in the arena are proud to be appreciated and favored by Fang Jue.

It is not an exaggeration at all, which player Fang Jue likes will definitely be worth a premium.

Benitez and Fang Jue communicated in Spanish just now, so Coutinho can understand roughly.

"Yes, Fang Jue called me many times before and said that he admired you very much." Benitez said, "I have never paid attention to him, because I know your strength very well, and I don't want to let you go."

Benitez felt that he was not lying. Counting this time, Fang Jue mentioned the matter of Coutinho in the two phone calls. This is indeed many times.

After leaving the coach's office, Coutinho was obviously absent-minded. The young man's expression was excited, but he shook his head, scratched his head, and was a little restless.
