May 13, the day before the King's Cup final.

Malaga only arranged half a day of training sessions, because in the afternoon, they rushed to Madrid, the venue of the finals. Like the previous few days, the training was still open to everyone. Nearly a thousand fans came to the court and shouted slogans and put out slogans to wish their team good performance in tomorrow's game. After the training, Lin Sen drove all the players to "face-to-face" with the fans to thank the fans for their support. He made an exception and accepted a simple interview with the media because there were some special guests today.

Although the Copa del Rey is an important event in Spain, it is still only a domestic cup in Europe. Therefore, except for the domestic media in Spain, it is not enough to attract mainstream media in European football, but it is enough to attract some non-mainstream but related media, such as the Polish media for Lewandowski, the Venezuelan media for Longdong, and... Chinese media.

Unlike the Polish media and Venezuelan media who only focus on whether the players in their respective countries can start, the Chinese media is more concerned about whether Lin Sen can become the first Chinese to raise the Cup of Kings. Although this possibility seems unlikely, in any case, as the first Chinese coach to lead the team to the finals of the Cup of Kings, he has made history. CCTV has directly sent a huge live TV team to prepare for live broadcast of the game. Although the time of the game was held late at night in China, they obviously believe that the time will not affect the ratings of the game.

In fact, it was the Spanish media who borrowed these peers from afar. Their problems were not as simple as those peers. From the starting lineup to tactical strategies, from personal relationships with Guardiola to the style collision with Barcelona, ​​they almost wanted to regard this sideline interview as a formal press conference, so Lin Sen had to "politely" tell them to see you in Madrid tonight.

Because, the official pre-match press conference will be held in the press hall in Calderon, Madrid in the evening, and Barcelona will also be held at that time.

After picking up and answering some questions from reporters from China, Lin Sen decisively ended the interview and asked Tapia to gather the team to make final preparations for heading to Madrid.

At 5:20 pm, the chartered flight in Malaga landed at Madrid Airport, and of course it was not so coincidental to colliding with Barcelona. Barcelona had arrived in advance two hours ago. Compared with the highly anticipated Barcelona, ​​although Malaga players also wear elegant suits and tie, their treatment is undoubtedly much shabby. At the airport, in addition to the Malaga fans who arrived in Madrid in advance, most media have evacuated after interviewing Barcelona. After all, there is a press conference tonight.

Lin Sen still gave enough face to accept the interview for the media who were still at the airport. Although it was only a few short words, Malaga did not stop at the airport for more time and soon took the team bus that had arrived in Madrid in advance and went directly to the hotel to rest.

The next itinerary is set, and it is a press conference tonight. Since tomorrow's game will be held at night, the stadium is not open because the final equipment debugging is required at night, so the time for the two teams to adapt to the venue is arranged until tomorrow's day. Of course, the time periods of the two teams are still staggered, and then, I will wait for tomorrow's night to live to the death.

In the evening, Barcelona, ​​who was the first to hold the press conference, was still the first to arrive, while Lin Sen took the team's captain Games to wait in the familiar waiting room, which allowed Lin Sen to experience the feeling of things changing.

When Barca stuffed in and told Lin Sen that it was time for the time, in the aisle to the release hall, Lin Sen and Gamez met Guardiola who were walking out and Barcelona's captain Puyol. Four people and eight eyes were not enough to have a staggered look. Lin Sen and Guardiola subconsciously smiled and nodded to each other, while the captains on both sides were expressionless and just looked at each other coldly.

Games, who just turned 24 last month and has been wearing captain's armband this season, is not as good as the old captain Arno in the team in terms of prestige, and his leadership on the court is no better than the new Gabi. However, after nearly a season of influence, both the style of the game and the temperament have become more and more stable. The common impetuousness of young players seems to have disappeared before it appears. In fact, according to qualifications, Games should take the initiative to say hello to the big brother of the national team, Puyol, but Games, who only joined the Spanish team when the national team was playing a warm-up match, had no personal relationship with Puyol. Now the two teams are about to die soon. When they see Puyol, they don't mean to say hello, so naturally they don't intend to make it boring.

Guardiola did not speak, Linson remained silent, Puyol shut his mouth, and Games watched coldly.

Four people just crossed it.

As soon as the two entered the press conference hall, the flashing lights and shutters kept flashing and ringing, and Lin Sen was already used to it.

After the press conference began, the old tune was repeated, but this time, Lin Sen seemed extremely patient and answered almost every question. Even the Catalan journalists did not avoid various condescending questions.

"We noticed that in recent days, Malaga's training has been mainly focused on defensive training, and has practiced set pieces and penalty kicks. Does this mean that Malaga's tactics will still be mainly defense in tomorrow's game. In addition, do you really think the game will have a penalty shootout?" Needless to say, the person asked was a pro-Barcelona media.

"We will do what we are best at, just like Barcelona, ​​and defense is also part of it. I don't believe Barcelona never practices defense. Penalty? The final is not a league, there is no draw, so penalty kick is also one of the possibilities."

"So, how likely is this?" Lin Sen's peaceful attitude did not bring him a break.

"It's as big as there is no penalty shootout." Lin Sen looked up at the reporter, and his tone was still calm. "I know Barcelona is very strong, but I don't think Barcelona is unbeatable. We have played Barcelona twice, once failed and once tied. Tomorrow, we will try to change the game to another result."

"Defeat Barcelona?" The reporter's expression was a little exaggerated, as if he thought it was a big joke.

This seemed like a big joke, so a chuckle immediately sounded in the hall. Most of the media in agreement were pro-Barcelona, ​​and of course, more silence, but this also made the laughter that was not considered kind-hearted.

The silent Spanish media have long been a little uncomfortable with Lin Sen's peace today. At this time, they are naturally happy to see the open "provocation" of the Catalan media. They closed their breath and were ready to watch Lin Sen get angry. After Barcelona created the Bernabeu tragedy, these Catalan colleagues seemed to have followed the crowd and dogs, and their eyes were getting higher than the top. It seems that they would not feel comfortable not listening to the other party's compliments every press conference. They would be the best to admit defeat in every game. So Lin Sen's words just now caused them to attack Lin Sen, who had long had opinions about Lin Sen to attack him. In fact, it is not surprising at all.

Relatively speaking, Chinese journalists who came from afar looked at each other a little. Of course, they knew who had the advantage and who was at the disadvantage in this game, but the game had not been played yet. Is it really appropriate to be so high-profile?

At this time, Games, who sat on the side except for answering two questions at the beginning, stopped talking and finally couldn't help it. He was about to take the microphone to fight back, but Lin Sen looked at him first and stopped his movements, then took the microphone and said word by word: "It's very funny?"

While talking, Lin Sen still seemed to be unable to see any anger on his face. He even smiled and looked at the reporter who was still standing.

"I'm very strange. Some people think we came here to compete for the runner-up. This is indeed quite funny. Malaga is indeed different from Barcelona in terms of strength, but Malaga has come to this day, not sympathy or gifts. We come to the finals through our own efforts, so I think we have equal opportunities with Barcelona. I don't know where you come from the confidence that this game is not suspense. Did Guardiola tell you at the press conference just now?"

really.

Except for the reporters from Catalonia, other Spanish reporters at the scene cried in their hearts, how could it be Lin Sen who obeyed?!

Of course, Guardiola could not say that! Even if Guardiola really believed that Malaga had no chance, he could not say these words, because it was about cultivation and respect. In fact, at the Barcelona press conference just now, Guardiola praised Malaga, although everyone thought it was just a politeness of the Barcelona coach.

"I haven't said that, please don't change the concept. Mr. Lin, I just think Barcelona's strength is higher than Málaga..." The reporter who was knocked down tried to win back the game.

"So Malaga will definitely lose? If you have high strength, you will definitely be the winner?" Before the reporter finished speaking, Lin Sen directly interrupted him, "If this is your opinion on football, then I don't think you should be a football reporter."

After saying that, Lin Sen no longer paid attention to the reporter's reaction, but leaned back and looked around everyone in the hall.
Chapter completed!
