Chapter 62 Inappropriate
Lin Sen’s actions require courage.
Anyone can do it by slapping the table and staring at it. It seems to increase momentum, but not everyone's move can really play a positive role, and it may also play a counter-effect. If it is put a season ago, Lin Sen's move is tantamount to suicide, because at that time, he was just a rookie coach who only proved his ability in a team of promoted teams, and he was facing a group of world-class players.
No one likes others to slap the table at them, especially famous players.
Even now, Lin Sen has been with him for several championships, his current action still makes Kidd, who is standing behind him, feels worried about him. As an assistant coach, this action is not uncommon. The Scottish old man who is already waiting for his opponent in the Champions League final has never been a gentle and kind old man in the locker room, but Lin Sen is currently incomparable to him.
What made Kidd breathed a sigh of relief was that there was no sign of a rebound in Lin Sen's "rough" actions.
It was still dead silent.
This made Kidd feel a little more: Everyone can be the head coach, but not everyone can succeed. At least, he seems to have no life. Did he leave the old Lord and want to change his life? After his attempt ended in failure, he actually never understood why he failed. He asked himself that he learned everything the head coach should have from the old Lord and did everything he should do, but he still failed.
And now, he seems to have found the reason.
Football, there is no template. The head coach, there is no template.
Lin Sen, who stood in front of Kidd, naturally didn't know his actions. He could think of so much. At this time, he only knew that he was angry, and he had to let his players know his anger, not only because of the current score. He made his words at the pre-match press conference turn into slapping himself in the face, not only because he needed to vent his anger, but most importantly, he needed to let his players know where his anger originated.
When he came to Spain and the Camp Nou Stadium, Linsen had long expected what difficulties he would encounter.
But there are two kinds of difficulties, one is expected. For example, Barcelona's cold reception, Camp Nou's boo, and the referee's home whistle, these are what Lin Sen can expect and can be guarded against. The other is unexpected, such as the current situation.
“I’m very disappointed.”
This is the first sentence Lin Sen said, not surprisingly.
"Before we came here, I had said a long time ago that we would encounter difficulties, obviously we would not be welcomed. After we came here, I also said that here, all the actions of Barcelona, as opponents, should be viewed in reverse. When they greet us with cold greetings, it just represents their concern for you. And when they greet us with huge boo, it is just the best applause."
"Of course, even so, I cannot deny that it is very difficult to play here. And most of these difficulties require you to deal with on the court. At this point, I fully understand you. But!"
Speaking of this, Lin Sen's tone was paused. However, it also made everyone's hearts follow.
"Now, I'm very disappointed! Because I've thought that we might face a failure, and I have also thought of many ways of failure, such as because of Messi, because of the referee, and other ways, but I've never thought that we would be scared! Yes, whether you admit it or not, in my opinion, in the view of your supporters in the stands, in the eyes of countless Manchester City fans who can only watch the game on TV screens in Manchester, your performance in the first half is useless! Nothing is not!
You may find many reasons, and as head coaches, I can find many excuses, but if we ultimately fail today, I will not shirk my responsibility. I have never said that we cannot defeat, but today you can't even do the simplest one, that is, never give up! On the court, you are like quails, frightened by the booing in the stands and dare not move, and then let your opponent cut you one after another!
This is not my team! This is not the team I want!
Yes, standing in front of you is one of the best teams in the world, but don't forget that you are one of them, and you have even proved that, just a week ago. So, now there are forty-five minutes left in the game, I won't change any staff, I won't change any tactics, it's all up to you!
Whether to crawl away or stand, no matter what victory or defeat, it is up to you to decide!"
Lin Sen had never said so many things in the locker room, and so many things that had nothing to do with tactics. In his opinion, it was inspiring and motivating emotions. He didn't say much, and he stopped talking. But at this moment, he couldn't make himself concise and concise. All the words poured out like this. He didn't even deliberately observe what effect his words would have. He just finished speaking, and then walked out of the locker room without looking back.
Kidd behind him hesitated for a moment. He glanced at the team members, sighed in his heart, and finally turned around and followed Lin Sen out of the locker room.
Catch up with Lin Sen quickly.
After hesitating for a while, Kidd finally spoke, "Is this appropriate?"
What he didn't expect was that Lin Sen's answer was quick and straightforward.
“Not suitable.”
Kid was stunned for a moment, "Then..."
"I really want to say the right thing, but if it is right, it can no longer turn the situation around."
Lin Sen's voice was cold, but his tone was unquestionable.
Kidd suddenly fell silent.
He really wants to say that this is just a Champions League. Even if Manchester City loses this game today and misses the final, it is also a historic moment for Manchester City. As the head coach, Lin Sen is enough to make all Manchester City fans worship him. Lin Sen has no need to put such a fierce medicine in the locker room at this time, because his words just now are enough to become a bomb that detonates the locker room and a bomb that destroys his foundation in coaching at Manchester City.
However, Kidd also admitted that if Lin Sen still moved his usual set to the locker room now, then there would be no suspense in the outcome of this game, even if there was no trace of it.
Because, no matter the time, place, or people, they are all on Barcelona's side.
And Barcelona is absolutely impossible to satisfy the score of 2 to 0, whether objectively or subjectively!
Kidd watched Lin Sen walk towards the passage alone, and suddenly thought of something himself, then stopped and turned around and walked in another direction.
Just when Linson appeared at the exit of the passage, just as before the game, the entire Camp Nou booed everywhere, first the closest to the passage, and the first Barcelona fans to discover him, and then the booed quickly spread to the entire Camp Nou stadium like dominoes.
What kind of grand occasion is the booing of hundreds of thousands of people?
It's crazy enough! It's crazy enough!
Lin Sen showed a sneer on his lips, but suddenly absent in his heart: I wonder if Mourinho was also thinking about such a boo?
Either let everyone love, or let everyone hate!
One emotion, two extremes.
Lin Sen walked to the coach's seat. At this time, there were still five minutes before the second half. At this time, except for a few substitute players on the court, there was no one on the coach's seat.
Lin Sen ignored the curses with clear and audible content, came to the visiting team's coaching seat, found his position, and then sat down with a serious expression and a serious look.
How could the live footage of the game miss this moment?
A lonely figure sitting in the empty coaching seat, behind which are countless emotional fans, is simply a wonderful picture.
"It seems that either Lin is furious in the locker room, or he hasn't walked into the locker room at all. In either case, it is obviously not the situation that Manchester City fans are willing to see at this time." The British commentator who saw this scene shook his head and said.
And at this time, it was Manchester.
"It's better for Lin to scold them! Those bastards should scold them! Look at what they played in the first half!"
"Hey, Old Miller, when are you so excited?"
"This is not the team I saw last week!"
...
Lin Sen just sat on the coach's seat, looking at the empty stadium for the time being. Five minutes said it was not long. For fans, it was just a blink of an eye, but it was not short. As long as anyone sat in a stadium full of 100,000 seats as an opponent, it would be impossible for him to be without any pressure. Why do you say that one person is fighting the whole world? The slogan is very heroic, but how many people can really do it?
And at this moment, several figures appeared in the passage.
Still not a player or coach from Barcelona.
Three people, assistant coach Kidd, technical coach Tang Hua, and physical coach Dina.
The three of them walked to the coach's seat together, and then sat next to Lian Sen in turn. Behind them, there was not as much scolding as Lin Sen had when he appeared, but the booing was still there.
Lin Sen turned his head and glanced at the few people, but the few people did not turn their heads.
Then, Lin Sen smiled.
Time seems to be getting faster.
Soon, players from both sides walked out of the player channel one after another, and then stood on the court and waited for the referee to whistle.
Barcelona did not make any personnel adjustments, which is not surprising. They are the leading side. What's strange is that Manchester City, who was behind zero to two, did not make any adjustments when they appeared on the stadium in advance.
Everything seems to be exactly the same as the first half. (To be continued)
