Chapter 63 Meeting
As Linson thought, the one closest to Quaresma is indeed Tottenham Hotspur.
Mourinho fell in love with Tottenham midfielder Jenas, trying to make him play the role of Inter Milan's "Lampard" and is willing to exchange Quaresma. However, Blanca is not interested in this deal. The reason is very simple. The so-called exchange of Tottenham refers to tie exchange. However, the two people's value is not equal. Jenas is estimated to be 1,000 to 15 million in the transfer market. Although Quaresma performed poorly in the first half of the season, the price of 25 million cannot be directly reduced by half a season.
Therefore, Blanca is more willing to let Quaresma change the environment than to directly admit defeat. As long as the Portuguese can make a deal, even if it doesn't stay, at least there is room for recovery for this transaction.
Therefore, when Tottenham refused to increase the price, changing rent became a more feasible solution. At this time, a more suitable partner for Inter Milan emerged, namely Malaga.
Tottenham and Malaga, where is Quaresma more likely to be resurrected in full health? Obviously, Malaga has a higher chance.
Blanca, who had been in the transfer with Tottenham for more than half a month, was extremely straightforward this time. Livermore proposed to loan on the 17th, and received a reply on the 18th: Agree.
Like Chelsea, who was not interested in Quaresma until the last few days of the transfer, Málaga came first. In just one day, he stood on the same starting line with Tottenham Hotspur on Quaresma's transfer.

On January 19, Malaga welcomed its last opponent in two consecutive two-week doubles due to the "interference" of the Copa REI, Espanyol. Facing this team that Linson once led Atletico Madrid to win three goals last season, Malaga won even more simply this time. In the ninth minute of the game, Bonucci took advantage of the corner kick and knocked on the opponent's goal. Then Longdong scored twice, Celli added icing on the cake, and the score was finally frozen at 4-0.
After the 19th round of the game, Malaga still ranked third in the La Liga list with 12 wins, five draws and two losses. The two teams above Malaga, one is Sevilla, who is the same as Malaga in both record and points. However, with the advantage of goal difference, Sevilla is temporarily ranked above Malaga, and the other team is naturally the leader Barcelona. Guardiola's team has now become a team that other teams are afraid of talking about in La Liga. In the 19th round of the game, 16 wins, two draws and one loss have accumulated 50 points. Half the league has been played, it is over nineteen points behind the second place. According to this trend, by the end of the season, Barcelona will have a score of 100 points, which is definitely a terrifying score.
It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid, which had a poor record at the beginning of the season, fell to seventh place at the same time. After experiencing the coach change, he has successfully returned to fourth place in the league with a four-game winning streak. Judging from their movements in the winter transfer market, it is normal to "recover lost ground" in the second half.
Lin Sen has not been a habit of talking to other teams, but he obviously can't be dissatisfied with Malaga's current performance. The overall La Liga pattern this season has not changed. Although Real Madrid is a little weak, the La Liga champion still cannot escape the practice of Real Madrid and Barcelona's two-man transfer. The other two teams that entered the Champions League last year, Sevilla and Villarea, one is now ahead of Malaga, and the other is only one game away from Malaga.
But no matter what, after halfway through the league, Malaga still stood in the third place in the league.
In the game against Espanyol, Malaga fans hit a banner and hit back at the beginning of the season. Assistant reporter Angel Gonzalez, who thought Linson could not lead Malaga to relegation: Are we relegated? Mr Angel.
In La Liga, there is a recognized score line, forty points, which is also considered a relegation line, because the relegation scores of La Liga in the past ten years have basically been around forty points. Before the game against Espanyol, Malaga's score has reached 38 points. As long as you win Espanyol, you can almost certainly relegation.
Linsen didn't know what kind of expression Angel looked like when he saw the banner of the Malaga fans, but he was in a happy mood anyway.
In fact, although Lin Sen does not have much favorable feelings, he does not have any unfair feelings. However, people are good or bad, and the media naturally have conscience and unconscience. When encountering conscientious media, Lin Sen tries to cooperate as much as possible, just like Rhode. Lin Sen actually does not have many interviews with Rhode, but every time Rhode asks, Lin Sen will be very patient. On the one hand, of course, it is because Rhodes said good things about him, and on the other hand, it is because others ask questions very neutrally. In other words, they will not set a position for themselves early. Unlike some media from Catalonia or Madrid who show their superiority first as soon as they open their mouths, fearing that they will feel uncomfortable if they don’t anger themselves…
Angel Gonzalez is a smart journalist. He knew that the most important thing to become famous is to create topics. Unfortunately, he chose the right one but the wrong topic.
----------------
Resino's life is not easy now. After being tied by Almeria in the last round, Atletico Madrid has not won in the past three rounds, two draws and one loss. Previously, Atletico Madrid, who successfully returned to the Champions League with a three-game winning streak, fell to seventh place again. Cork, who returned from Malaga, only shone in the last game at the last moment.
Cork's return is not actually Resino's request. How to see Pitach's acquisition starts with "damaging people" more than "self-interest". Resino knows very well, but his team's problem lies in defense. He conceded 36 goals in the 19th round of the game, and he averaged nearly two goals per game. Under such a bad defense, Atletico Madrid can rank seventh, and he has to thank the team for his offensive efforts.
The introduction of Cork obviously cannot solve Resino's urgent need, but it can indeed hit Malaga, especially Malaga, their opponent in the next league.
For Lin Sen, Atletico Madrid is a destined to be calm, especially after Cork's transfer, when he focused on this game, Lin Sen received a call that had been waiting for a long time.
From Mendes.
It is said that they are familiar with each other twice. Mendes, who called Lin Sen for the second time, obviously became familiar with each other.
"Lin, do you want Ricardo?"
After saying hello, Mendes did not beat around the bush and asked Lin Sen directly that the Ricardo he mentioned naturally refers to Quaresma. I think Livermore has already had contact with him.
"If I want it, you will give it?" Lin Sen said half-jokingly, as if he had some meaning.
"Of course not." Mendes smiled and said in a pun, "But, you know, Ricardo is my client."
"Do you say the same to Tottenham? Mr. Mendes." Lin Sen still smiled relaxedly.
"No." Mendes shook his head calmly, "I'm not familiar with that side for the time being, but Ricardo is indeed closer to the London team, and it's no secret."
"I understand." Lin Sen nodded.
Tottenham Hotspur or Málaga, this multiple-choice question is not difficult for many players.
"So, do you also support Ricardo to go to Tottenham?" Lin Sen asked.
"Ricardo would rather go to London. At this point, my wish is not important..."
Mendes's answer made Lin Sen on the phone curl his lips: Your wish is not important? Who are you lying to?!
"However, Malaga is indeed a more ideal place for Ricardo. I always think that La Liga is the best league for Ricardo," Mendes continued. "If you really need Ricardo, I think maybe you should help Mr. Livermore."
"Do you want me to talk to Riccardo?" Hearing this, Lin Sen had already vaguely thought of the intention of Mendes' phone call.
"Yes." Mendes said with satisfaction, "You are the head coach of Malaga. Your words will be more convincing than Mr. Livermore than me. What do you think?"
"no problem."
Mendes originally thought Lin Sen would at least think about it, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Sen agreed without hesitation, which surprised Mendes a little. At this time, Lin Sen said another sentence, his tone half true and half false.
"If Ricardo can change his mind, maybe I really want to ask you to be my agent after the season, Mr. Mendes."
"Maybe you don't have to wait until that time, Lin." Mendes thought, "If you need my advice, you can just speak up. I know that you are the expert in football, but in negotiations, I dare say that you are not as good as me. If I remember correctly, your contract with Malaga is a one plus one?"
"This is no secret." Lin Sen smiled.
"Then, you should probably consider the new contract. Lin, I'm not referring to you to ask for it. I think you can understand what I mean."
Linson certainly understood what Mendes meant.
If I don’t take the initiative, then it will naturally be the other party who takes the initiative to give it to me.

On the morning of January 19, Madrid, ACS Headquarters.
Two Spanish and one Frenchman formally met.
One, in a suit and ties, with a elegant expression, an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth.
One, who was also in a suit and tie, had a calm expression, but only his eyes were shining with shrew.
The last one, dressed in casual clothes and a leisurely expression, was the most eye-catching one, the shiny top of his head.
