    After the championship, the European international players began to take less time off than last year, but for the leadership of major European clubs, their season has already begun.

    For Premier League teams, this summer will not be a quiet one either. Chelsea head coach Ranieri was dismissed by Abramovich after the last game of last season. For the ambitious Abramovich  Said that the third place in the Premier League and the semi-finals of the Champions League did not satisfy his appetite, especially when Newcastle, which also underwent major changes, won the second place in the Premier League and the Champions League championship.

    So he needed to find a coach who could lead the team further. He once fell in love with Mourinho, but Pei Wei resolutely rejected him, and Abramovich's strength last season also made Mourinho very happy.  Unhappy - he doesn't need a strong chairman who may interfere with him at any time. Pei Wei is much better than Abu in this regard.

    Liverpool are in the same situation as Chelsea. After failing to enter the Champions League for two consecutive years, Liverpool's management can no longer tolerate Houllier's poor performance. Together with Chelsea, they set their sights on leading Valencia to a double last year.  Spanish head coach Benitez.

    After one of his most successful seasons, Ben¨ªtez's time at Mestalla seemed to be coming to an end, although in three seasons at Valencia he did what even his predecessor, considered  This is something that Cooper, the best coach in Valencia's history, has not been able to do - win two league championships in three years and a UEFA Cup championship, but with chairman Jaime Orti and the entire management  It is no secret and news that the conflicts between the layers made it impossible for him to endure his time in Valencia anymore.

    After the season ended, Benitez began to work at home, but everyone knew it.  This period of time will not last long - the current Benitez is not the Benitez who was kicked out by the Spanish second division teams, but now he is a famous coach.

    But obviously, it is difficult for Liverpool to compete with Chelsea. Although they are the best team in the history of English football-but these days, history is no longer popular. The two-time Champions League winner Nottingham Forest is still in the League One.  , now it should be called the English Championship - Ups and Downs.

    Chelsea can play in the Champions League.  Liverpool can only play in the UEFA Cup.  Chelsea can offer high salaries, and Liverpool certainly cannot compare with the wealthy Chelsea in this regard. In the same way, Abramovich can use enough money to let Benitez buy any player he wants.  But Liverpool cannot compare with Chelsea in this regard

    ¡°More importantly, only at Chelsea can Benitez form a sufficient confrontation with Mourinho and Wenger, the two seniors and juniors. Liverpool does not have this strength now so not long after the European Championship ended.  Such news came from Stamford Bridge. Spanish head coach Rafael Benitez resigned as head coach of Valencia and took up the position of head coach of Chelsea. The contract lasts for four years and has an annual salary of 5 million pounds.

    At the press conference, Abramovich smiled happily. He believed that he had found the best coach candidate for Chelsea. Benitez still had no smile on his face, but it was obvious that he was interested in coming to the Premier League to accept a new challenge.  Very interested.

    From now on.  Benitez may be a good fit for Chelsea. The reason why he had a bad relationship with the team's board of directors in Valencia is because the Valencia club is stingy.  Moreover, powers overlap and relationships are complex.  There is obviously no problem in this regard at Chelsea. Abramovich's generosity is world-famous, and Chelsea is also his own club - this provides the necessary conditions for Benitez to flourish.

    After hearing the news, Pei Wei laughed and called Mourinho: "Jose, Rafael's salary now exceeds yours How is it? What do you think?"

    "I am a Champions League winning coach, you should give me more salary" Mourinho immediately said: "At least it can't be less than a UEFA Cup winning coach, right?"

    "No problem, I'm happy to. I'm even willing to sign a ten-year long-term contract with you." Pei Wei said with a smile: "But don't you think it's interesting? The professor is at Arsenal, Rafael is at Chelsea, you  In Newcastle Yunjia Tianyu's three generations of foreign coaches are now all gathered in the Premier League. What would you think? What would Rafael think, and what would the professor think? The three of you gathered together and used your own football with each other in the 02 World Cup?  When you want to influence others with your ideas, have you ever thought about today?¡±

    Mourinho was stunned. He held the phone and remained silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked: "Did you expect this a long time ago? Pei."

    Pei Wei lied: "No, Jose, I didn't expect Choosing the Premier League was the result of careful consideration at that time. I didn't even know that Rafael would come to Chelsea. After all, he did a great job in Valencia."  Yes, if I were the boss of Valencia, I would definitely notLetting him go, letting go of a coach who has won two league championships in three years, is simply blind But this is good news for me. I am happy to see the three former

    Head coach Yu is meeting in the Premier League.  "

    Mourinho shook his head. He felt a little helpless at Pei Wei's sometimes bad taste. However, deep down in Mourinho's heart, he was indeed a little excited about Benitez's arrival. Yunjia Tianyu and the other three  Among foreign head coaches, Benitez is undoubtedly the most successful. Even if he led Yunjia Tianyu to win two league championships, he still could not reach the heights of Benitez - this made Mourinho who never refused to admit defeat.  Austria was a little unconvinced, but he had no chance to prove that he was better than Benitez. After coming to Europe, Newcastle had no chance to play against Valencia - and now, this opportunity has come!

    ¡°Are you excited? Jose.¡±

    Although he couldn't see Mourinho's expression across the phone, Pei Wei still guessed Mourinho's mood: "Think about it, next season, in addition to Wenger and Ferguson, your opponents will also  There will be an addition of Raphael He is a real master of tactics, both locally and overall. With him, the Premier League will be more difficult next season, and he is a coach who is very good at playing cup games.  We will also have a strong opponent in the Champions League.¡±

    "You're right, I'm very excited." Mourinho admitted this: "The Premier League is much more competitive and interesting than the Chinese LeagueStrong opponents, strong teams, strong coaches -  ¨DThis is what excites me.¡±

    "Only strong opponents can keep us active forever." Pei Wei smiled happily: "Especially because this opponent is an old friend"

    ***************************************

    Pei Wei will not "make new friends and forget old friends". In fact, from the day he took over Newcastle and brought Mourinho to the Premier League, he has been looking forward to this day - successively in Yunjia Tianyu  The three coaches who have coached occupy the head coaching positions of three of the top four in the Premier League. What kind of beautiful flowers will bloom from this level of collision?

    Although Benitez came to a different place, from "Red Army" Liverpool to "Blue Army" Chelsea, it is no wonder that the arrival of Pei Wei has affected the pattern of the Premier League to a great extent, among which the biggest  The victim is probably Liverpool. Historically, Liverpool defeated Newcastle by one point this season and won fourth place in the Premier League. After Benitez arrived, they won a championship in the following season.  The greatest reversal in the 50-year history of the Cup won them the fifth Champions League title in their history, and then began their road to revival. However, the arrival of Pei Wei allowed Liverpool to only finish fifth this season.  After losing Benitez as head coach, their recovery may be delayed indefinitely.

    Reality is sometimes so cruel. Historically, both Newcastle and Liverpool have reached turning points this season, but historically it was Liverpool who started their revival through fourth place in the league, while Newcastle began to sink infinitely after finishing fifth. But now,  It just fell off.

    Sometimes the difference between revival and destruction is just one ranking difference

    Liverpool is relatively pitiful. Newcastle not only took away their qualification for the Champions League, but also indirectly took away their head coach - if it weren't for Pei Wei, who should have succeeded in Porto and then became the world's highest paid head coach at Chelsea.  If Rinho is brought to China first and then to Newcastle, Chelsea will not compete with Liverpool for Benitez.

    You must know that with Abramovich's arrogant character and little knowledge of football, what he wants must be the best - the "best" refers to Mourinho who won the Champions League, and "only" just won the  Benitez, a La Liga and UEFA Cup champion, is not yet considered "the best".

    So he initially contacted Mourinho, but after being rejected, he turned his attention to Benitez. Maybe now the Russians still think simpler, the best coach and the best players will naturally be able to  Get the best results.

    It¡¯s impossible for Benitez not to know this. He is a proud man, and of course he will use every means in the new season to prove Abramovich¡¯s mistakes at the beginning. Benitez looks calm and calm on the surface, but in the new season  At heart, he is also a passionate person, but his way of expression is more restrained and not as arrogant as Mourinho.

    But this time the way Benitez announced his arrival in the Premier League seemed a bit arrogant - the next day, Wenger and Mourinho received a text message at the same time.

    Three simple words: "I'm here." The signature below is Rafael Benitez.
