Benitez's body has not yet gained weight as much as it did later. He has elegant eyes and even looks more like a professor than Wenger. In fact, in terms of tactics, he does have the keen mind of a professor. The Liverpool he built created a world-wide formation like 4-2-3-1, which is known as a tactical master.

Benitez is the second coach after Mourinho to win the League Cup first and then the Championship Cup in two seasons. In particular, he led Valencia and Liverpool respectively to win, which was even more difficult than Mourinho. It’s a pity that his vision of buying people in the transfer market is really not a compliment, which is also the fundamental reason for the gap in his status with Mourinho.

However, since Benitez is Qiao Wanxian's first master friend in the circle, well, the great Mr. Qiao Dapao will never treat this friend unfairly!

Qiao Wanxian looked like a preacher, squinting his eyes and said mysteriously: "Raphael, one of the biggest drawbacks of Liverpool midfielders is that they lack a truly defensive midfielder. In other words, there is no backbone who silently contributes!"

"Oh?" Benitez raised his brow.

Jowan said with his fingers: "Look at the European giants today. Manchester United has Keane, Barcelona has Marquis, Eindhoven has Van Bomel, Arsenal has Vieira, Real Madrid has Essin, and even my Chelsea has Marclayle! Look at your Liverpool, Alonso is an organizational midfielder, can he meet the world-class standards in interception and grabbing? Not to mention Gerald, he is completely an offensive player."

Benitez couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Wan Xian, I treat you as a friend, and I don't hide it from you. I only know Spanish players well. Once players from other countries are introduced, it's really difficult for me to determine whether I have the ability to adapt to Liverpool's rhythm. When I joined Liverpool this summer, I discovered the loopholes in Liverpool's midfielder position. I checked all Spanish players, and in the midfielder position, only Alonso is the best at Alonso!"

Jowanxian suddenly realized that no wonder Benitez was criticized for signings, no wonder his signings from Spain was amazing. Reina, Luis Garcia, Torres, Alonso, and even later Callejon, Albior and others, it turned out that this was the reason!

However, it is shocking to be able to understand the West Extraordinary player so thoroughly. Qiao Wanxian secretly admired him and said in a mysterious way: "Since you regard me as a friend, Raphael, then I, Qiao Wanxian, have no reason not to help my friends!"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Benitez's eyes lit up, and he vaguely guessed something, but was incredible when he was surprised.

Qiao Wanxian crossed his legs, hugged his shoulders, and said proudly: "Raphael, how do you think of my signing...?"

"Every stroke is shocking, every stroke is clear and refined!" Benitez did not hide his respect for Qiao Wanxian in this regard. To be honest, let's take a look at the performance of Chelsea's new players this summer, Rooney, Irving, Kaka, Cannavaro, Ramos, and Cech! Except for the young Ramos' performance in a moderate manner, the others are definitely among the top three in the world in every position!

If these people are pushed into the transfer market again, even if their value doubles, they will be destined to be bought by major wealthy families.

Qiao Wanxian laughed: "It's fine if you believe me. Then if you want to sign a player in the future, tell me in advance and I'll be your adviser, how about it?"

"Really...really?" Benitez's excited mouth was shaking, his face turned red, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak. At this moment, he suddenly felt that Qiao Dapao was the lucky star he had become and a good teacher and friend for his life! Even though he was a newcomer in football, even if he was only 21 years old.

Qiao Wanxian smiled gently, picked up the coffee cup and touched Benitez, took a sip, frowned and said, "But..."

Benitez was shocked and said without hesitation: "Wan Xian, just ask for anything you want! Even if I want half of my salary, I will agree!"

Qiao Wanxian waved his hand and carefully tentatively said: "Well... to be honest, I feel very much about Gerald..."

"No! This is not possible!" Benitez's eyes widened and shook his head repeatedly: "Gerard is the foundation of Liverpool's team building. He is the captain of the team. It is absolutely impossible to leave Liverpool! Besides, his soul belongs to Liverpool and he will never leave!"

Qiao Wanxian knew the difficulties of introducing Gerrard. Later coach Mourinho and wealthy Real Madrid wanted to introduce Gerrard several times, but they were both rejected by the club and himself. However, Qiao Wanxian did not give up and bewitched: "Well... Rafael, I know Gerrard's outstanding ability is very important to Liverpool. However, the team has 11 people after all, and it is absolutely impossible to solve the problem by relying on one person alone..."

Benitez still shook his head repeatedly. Although his coaching experience was not long, Gerald was definitely the most professional athlete he had ever met. He is a head coach who loves talents and cherishes talents. It is really difficult to let go of an outstanding player like Gerald.

Qiao Wanxian lowered his voice and said, "I, Qiao Wanxian, will never let my friends suffer! For the sake of Liverpool's lineup, I can take out two powerful defensive players from Chelsea to exchange! And I know that Cice is constantly injured and Liverpool's forward lacks people. I can remind you to buy a top striker with good quality and low price!"

"Two defensive players?" Benitez narrowed his eyes. He understood that this Qiao Dapao would never give up until he got Gerald.

Qiao Wan said lightly: "That's right, two Frenchmen. One is Chelsea's main center back William Galas in the first two seasons; the other is the best midfielder in the world, and now Liverpool needs the most - Claude Marklele!"

Benites immediately took a breath!

In terms of value, Gerald's current value is at most the same level as Rooney, with a £25 million to £30 million, which is almost the same as the sum of the value of Galas and Marklele. However, the effect of these two on Liverpool is definitely not comparable to that of Gerald!

Liverpool central defender Carragher is constantly injured, and Hypia is over 30 years old. The arrival of Galas can completely make up for the weakness of the defense line! Marklele is even more exaggerated. The steel defense line formed with Vieira in the European Cup in Portugal shocked the whole world! Especially his performance at Chelsea is also particularly eye-catching.

I have to say that Benitez was moved by Qiao Wanxian’s proposal!

Seeing that Benitez was no longer shaking his head as frequently as he was at the beginning, Joe Wanxian couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I'll just tell you in advance. After all, Marklele and Gerrard are both the absolute main players of each other's team, and they have made appearances in the Champions League. Even if it's a transaction, it will have to be postponed until next summer."

Benitez nodded slightly, frowned and hesitated: "Wan Xian, in the Chelsea lineup, there is only a pure defensive midfielder like Marklele. If you sell him to me, Chelsea's defense?"

Qiao Wanxian laughed: "Mr. Benitez, have you not noticed the game just now? My team can win without defense!"

Benitez scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, and suddenly thought of something: "But Gerrard has no position in the Chelsea team. Kaka, Lampard, and Joe Cole of Chelsea midfielders are all top stars. Could it be... Are you planning to use him to replace Marklele's position?"

Qiao Wanxian stretched out a thumb, glanced around, and lowered his voice and said, "Do you know why I kept blasting Eriksson?"

"Why?" Seeing Qiao Wanxian's mysterious eyes, Benitez suddenly realized and said in surprise: "You... do you want to replace him as the head coach of the England team?"

"Smart!" Qiao Wanxian slapped his face and said in a mysterious way: "Do you know why I took two of England's leading strikers to Chelsea? Do you know why I must take Gerald away? Because I just want the FA to see that I, Qiao Wanxian, can make the forward configuration of Irving and Rooney use the maximum energy, and can completely integrate the "double German combination" of Gerald and Lampard into the same team!"

Benitez felt his pupils shrinking, as if he was frightened as if he had seen a ghost during the day. At this moment, he looked at the young man in front of him again, and suddenly, he felt that everything he did was paving the way, step by step, and even every word he said laid the way for the future...

This young handsome man is unfathomable!

Benitez took a breath of air conditioning again. Until now, he had not decided whether to accept the request for Gerald's transfer. However, Liverpool's second striker Cice is injured now, and he really needs a top striker as a backup. If the person recommended by Joe Dapao is really top-notch, then this transaction is inevitable! After all, he plans to stay in Liverpool like Ferguson and Wenger.

Benitez sighed and asked in a low voice: "Wan Xian, you said you would recommend a top striker with good quality and low price to me. Who is that person?"

Qiao Wanxian was sure that as long as Benitez asked this, then a transfer about Gerald would be imperative.

He smiled faintly: "This is a Spanish striker. He just transferred from Sporting Gijon to Zaragoza last season for 1.5 million euros, so if you sign in winter, the price is about 6 million pounds. He is only 23 years old this year and has huge potential and room for improvement. If you buy him, then in less than a year, Liverpool's regular striker will definitely not be Barroche again!"

"Oh? What's this person's name?" Benitez was very surprised. The last time he heard Qiao Wanxian praise a player like this was when he was operating the transfer of Irving! Could it be... this 23-year-old young man has the same ability as Irving?

Qiao Wanxian smiled slightly and said softly: "His name is... David Villa!"
