Ross knew that Tiger's statement was obviously very wise. He could not stay at Manchester United now. However, when there seemed to be no hope for going to a wealthy club, it was also a good choice to be the boss of an ordinary strong team that was not considered a wealthy club but had the strength to strive for the championship. Although it might be a bit embarrassing to do so, as long as Tiger still performed extremely well after transferring to this team, he could still block everyone's mouth!

Of course, being able to go directly to the wealthy family is still the first thing Ross pursues.

Although Tiger said that mid-range teams can also go, in Ross' eyes, the first choice he chose is still a team that can participate in European competitions, or even a team that can participate in the League Cup. He would not consider it much - the team that will be expanded next season's Champions League, and the one participating in the League Cup may be a lucky weak team - such a team, Ross will not allow Tiger, and Tiger has not been able to get there either!

However, without Rose knowing, the turn of opportunity came quietly.

Spain.

Another city with beautiful climate Valencia.

Pedro Garcia looked at the solemn white-haired coach in front of her and felt quite satisfied.

He became the chairman of Valencia two seasons ago. In these two seasons, Valencia made great progress under the leadership of Italian head coach Ranieri. Last season, they won the Spanish Cup of Dec and ranked fourth in La Liga, successfully entering the Champions League after the expansion. As a team that has not won the league championship since 1971, this result is enough to make them proud, but Garcia knows that his position is not stable. If you want to firmly take the position of Valencia's chairman, Valencia must get more results and honors.

However, after the end of last season, Valencia was hit - these two seasons have gradually made Valencia go from a mid-range team to a strong team, Ranieri was poached by Atletico Madrid, and Valencia has no leader - Fortunately, Garcia soon found an Argentine who also has excellent defensive philosophy and has also performed well in the past two seasons, helping Mallorca win a King's Cup championship and become Valencia's new head coach.

"The contract for Kili Gonzalez to join 8 million pounds from Zaragoza has basically been finalized, and Morisio Pellegrino joins 2 million from Sasfield is about to end. ACTO, do you need any other players besides these two Argentine players?" Garcia asked Cooper with a smile.

"After joining Kili and Pellegrino, the midfield and backcourt are basically complete... However, on the forward line, it is not possible to rely on Lopez alone. Ilier's performance is average, and Angulo does not have excellent scoring ability. I think we still need a player, a player with strong scoring ability." Cooper replied with a serious face.

"Well, you're right. We only scored 63 goals in thirty-eight rounds last season, 14 fewer than Real Madrid, second, and 24 fewer than Barcelona! Although our defense is excellent, we can't rely solely on defense." Garcia skipped the third place, Mallorca did not say that it was a miracle that Mallorca was able to rank third last season. They only scored 48 goals in the whole thirty-eight games, which ranks last among the top nine teams, but conceded only thirty-one goals, which is also the one with the least goals conceded in the entire La Liga. Last season, Mallorca had achieved the ultimate defense and one-to-zeroism.

"What we want to play in the Champions League this season is that we can achieve good results by defending the league, but in the Champions League, we still have to have certain scoring ability. Lopez alone is not enough, and in the midfield, we seem to lack a little technical element." Cooper put forward his own point of view. Although he started with defensive counterattack, it does not mean that he is unwilling to attack. Last season in the European Winners Cup, Mallorca reached the finals all the way by relying on defense, but still lost to Lazio in the end because of lack of scoring points. This is also a touch for Cooper, who wants to prove himself in the European arena.

He agreed to become Valencia's head coach. In addition to Valencia being more promising than Mallorca - Mallorca is just a small island with a home capacity of only 30,000 people, and Valencia is the third largest city in Spain and has much more brilliant history than Mallorca - but this is not the main reason. He is the head coach and not the chairman. He doesn't care about the reputation of the team. Valencia can also play in the Champions League, and Garcia promises to invest huge amounts of money in the transfer market. The most important factor is!

I feel dissatisfied when I think of the final loss to Lazio Cooper last season - how much Mallorca invested in the transfer market last season? Less than 10 million, and what about Lazio? It's close to 100 million! With such a huge gap, Mallorca only lost to Lazio one goal! And it's not that Cooper's tactics are wrong, but that Lazio's star decided the final victory, which also made Cooper more eager to lead a stronger team to show his talents!

"Do you have a goal? Should you want a good center or..." Garcia asked Cooper.

"I already have a goal." Cooper smiled slightly: "It's not a center, but a guy who is more valuable than a center!"

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

"Valencia?" Tiger looked at Ross in amazement. He was not familiar with this team. To be honest, he was really not very familiar with the La Liga team except Barcelona and Real Madrid...

"That's right, they ranked fourth in La Liga last season, and they can participate in the Champions League this season." Ross replied with a smile. He was going to Spain this time and he was going to continue to contact Barcelona, ​​but Valencia took the initiative to find him, and the new head coach Cooper was here. This attitude made Ross feel very happy - at least proves that Valencia attaches great importance to Tiger, which is much better than Barcelona's lukewarm attitude...

"What is the specific situation of this team?" Tiger asked Ross hesitantly. Although he had already made plans to play abroad, he personally still yearned for going to Serie A - that small World Cup league. Especially when Tiger was still in Preston, he knew the Italian defense in front of Chelsea's Italy. Although he performed well last season against two Serie A teams, many people commented that Manchester United encountered two atypical teams, and for various reasons, it was not a team with Italy's solid defense, which also gave him some idea of ​​conquering the most difficult league to play.

"Let their new head coach come to talk to you. Their new Argentina head coach Cooper has arrived in Preston and is about to come to see you." Ross replied.

"The head coach came to see me in person?" Tiger was stunned again.

Like Rose's idea, the other party's head coach personally ran to Preston to meet him, which made Tiger feel the other party's respect and importance to him - and this is exactly what Tiger needs now.

Before seeing Cooper, Tiger had a certain good impression of the head coach and the team - what did he want? It was not a lot of income and money, but a stage that could allow him to fully utilize his abilities! He didn't know what tactics Valencia played, but just the attention of the other party to him made Tiger vaguely feel that he needed something, maybe this team he was not familiar with could bring him.

However, when I saw Cooper, Tiger was slightly disappointed. Cooper, who had a thin face and a serious face, looked like a traditional and old-fashioned head coach. What I needed was the absolute support of the players and not have independent insights and performance...

"I will introduce myself first. I am Ector Cooper, Valencia's new head coach. Last season, he was Mallorca's head coach."

In a local cafe in Preston, Tiger saw Cooper, and Cooper took the initiative to greet him and stretched out his hand to Tiger.

Tiger shook hands with Cooper with such a polite temper. He has such a temper. If you treat him badly, he will look arrogant, but if you treat him well, he will also repay you well. Just as he hates Keegan a little, doesn't like Ferguson very much, but has always respected Moyes. He will treat him as much as he treats him.

"If I noticed you, the process is really interesting." Cooper was very talkative: "Last season, I led Mallorca to play in the Winners Cup. In the semi-finals, we met Chelsea from the Premier League... In order to better understand the situation of our opponents, I collected the most typical games in the past six months, including Manchester United's match against Chelsea shortly after Christmas... In that game, you scored the only goal, and your performance made me

The eyes shine - your technical characteristics, forward awareness and organizational ability are very similar to our Argentina's number one superstar Diego Maradona... The earliest Maradona was the same as your position last season, connecting to the center of the midfield and frontcourt, with a higher position, excellent scoring ability, and a strong desire to win. The English media are saying that you are like Cruyff, but I think you are more like Maradona, but he plays from the forward to the midfield, and you play from the midfield to the forward."

"I don't like playing forward very much. I prefer organization rather than pure goals." Tiger looked at Cooper and said slowly: "I can do a good job in charge, but I'd rather lead the team to win rather than relying on one person to swipe the data."

"I believe you can do this. Just waiting for your teammates to pass the ball in the frontcourt, it's a waste of your talent. You should be like Maradona or Cruyff, without limiting your position in the frontcourt, you can appear anywhere, instead of just scoring goals... Maradona scored a lot of goals in Barcelona, ​​almost reaching a goal in one game, but he failed to get any honors. On the contrary, in Naples, his goals have dropped a lot, but conquered the whole world." Cooper glanced at Tiger deeply and said with a smile.

Every Argentine has a Maradona plot. Although Kempes led Argentina to win the World Cup for the first time, there is only one god in the mind of Argentine, that is Maradona.

Although seeing Maradona's shadow in an Englishman made Cooper feel a little weird, at least the Maradona's best men in China seem to be as outstanding as Tiger, nor does Tiger prove himself in the European arena. Cooper also has pressure on performance. He likes Tiger because Tiger can make up for the last shortcoming for his lineup. Perhaps like Maradona back then, others defend and he organizes the offense alone. Others are closely united around him, without a fixed scoring point. However, under Maradona's dispatch, almost everyone can score goals.

Cooper is also a dream coach.

"I want to know Valencia's team," Tiger said to Cooper.

"Although I just took office, as an opponent in the league, I am not bad for this team." Cooper sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "The former head coach is Italian Ranieri. I have to say that Italian coaches are really good at coaching defense. Last season, they tried their best to maintain offensive firepower, and conceded only eight more goals than my Mallorca. This is quite amazing. I am very happy to take over such a defensive system.

The team that was established...the defense line is very complete. Canisares, Jukic, Caboni and Anguema are all excellent defensive players. In terms of midfield, captain Mendeta is the backbone of the midfield. His large-scale running and fighting spirit are Valencia's most precious wealth. We just introduced Kili Gonzalez from Zaragoza. He and Pellegrino are both players I have introduced after taking office. You see, I am also a head coach who likes to use my own compatriots."

Cooper made a joke, and Tiger smiled slightly. He really didn't care about this. Just like Moyes also introduced several Scottish players in Preston, as a new coach, it is always necessary to introduce several direct descendants - Besides, Cooper did not introduce Mallorca players...

"There is Kili Gonzalez on the left and the Gendetta on the right. We don't need to worry about the offense on the sidelines. In the middle, Hrad has strong forward ability, while Farinos is good at organizing at a back. Although this midfielder has better defensive ability, he can still provide shells for the frontcourt."

There are four fixed midfielders - Tiger is a little tired of it - why is it like this at Manchester United and Valencia...

"Tiger, you can rest assured that I basically have some understanding of your value. It is no exaggeration to say that Valencia is preparing to invest a relatively large amount of money in the transfer market this season, but I am afraid that in you, we will spend all the transfer funds this season... At such a big price, it is absolutely impossible for you to be a substitute. In my heart, you will even be the most important player in the new season." Cooper said after conscious of Tiger's gaze.

"I'm looking forward to hearing what you said next." Tiger made a gesture of invitation.

"Our four midfielders are all players with strong running ability and both offense and defense. However, such players do not mean that they are excellent in scoring. It is unrealistic to expect the midfield to assume the task of scoring. Our defenders are basically defenders who are purely defense-based, so the task of scoring is all on the striker. Lopez is an excellent striker, but his technical characteristics are destined to be an excellent harassing player, but not a pure shooter. Defense can ensure that they do not lose the ball, but offense requires goals - in addition to Lopez, we also need a top offensive player, and this player is you, Tiger."

"A striker?" Tiger asked with a smile.

"No, a frontcourt... libero." Cooper said affirmatively: "Your skills are guaranteed, you will be very useful in counterattacks. Whether it is a personal breakthrough or a direct pass to Lopez, your passing insight is guaranteed, and your speed is slow and will not affect our counterattack speed. Your dispatching ability is guaranteed, and when you move into positional battles, you can make our positional battles beautifully - Valencia's midfielders have excellent forward-switching ability. It is precisely because of this that your existence can make our offense more efficient!"

"I never deny that I am a coach who likes defense, but on the offensive side, I pursue offensive efficiency rather than being imposing. Tiger, you are a player who can improve the offensive efficiency of a team. With you, we will conquer the whole of Europe with solid defense and sharp fast breaks!"

Cooper slapped the table and said loudly: "Now European football is the time for the champions to rise! The advantages of Serie A teams are slowly weakening, while the Premier League and La Liga teams are slowly narrowing the gap with Serie A! Real Madrid and Barcelona hope to establish their status as the top European team at this time. Why can't Valencia? In Europe now, there are seven or eight teams capable of winning the Champions League, and Valencia will also become one of them!"

After shouting this sentence, Cooper looked at Tiger: "Valencia has many excellent players, but they are not the kind of players who can determine the outcome of an important game! Even Mendeta, he is just an excellent player who can make the team strong, but he cannot make the final decision... What we lack is a player like you! Maybe we are not as brilliant as Manchester United, but what I can give you is the absolute core position of the team! In the midfield and backcourt, Valencia has to listen to captain Mendeta, and in the offense in the frontcourt, you will be the only voice!"

The only sound!

There is no doubt that Cooper came up with the best weapon that could impress Tiger!
Chapter completed!
