They know that the clubs think otherwise, but some coaches argue that the transfer market was closing early and the fact that it is still open when most European leagues already begun undermines the work of the technicians.
That's what men like André Villas-Boas, Tottenham coach or Rafa Benítez, Naples, defended on Thursday in Nyon, the Coaches Forum sponsored by UEFA. "Clubs like, but coaches are of the opinion that the market was closing early. Coaches need time to prepare their teams and most preferred that the market was open less time and closed early The discussion is great because the clubs argue that the market is as it is, to ensure that the money of qualifying for the Champions arrives in time to strengthen themselves, aat "argued the Portuguese coach.
In the transfer market, which closed last Monday, there has been one that has been the biggest deal in history, the transfer of Gareth Bale from Tottenham for Real Madrid for 99 million euros, completing a process that has dragged on for throughout the summer
Villas-Boas feels he was forced to give up their best player last season, not only for the great offer of merengue, but also because the very Bale was subjected to enormous pressure. "He was subjected to intense pressure and comes to a point where we have to consider if we can not accept the offer," said the Portuguese coach.
"We prepare the season with players who can be our opponents next week," said Rafa Benítez for his part, adding that the situation is complicated because aat of the internal calendars and games and qualifying for the Champions League.
"If we close the market on 15 August, perhaps already are playing in England and has not yet started in Italy. And this is very difficult for everyone. The idea of the coaches is very clear, but if the clubs do not yet know whether they will play in the Champions League, also do not know how much money they can spend on hiring, "said the Spaniard.
