Chapter 19 Rupture

There are many skills in negotiations. The most basic thing is to know yourself and your enemy. Although it may not be possible to win every battle, this is preparation... So, just like the preparations before the meeting with Sanchez's agent Fericevic, Lin Sen also conducted some investigations on Darren Dunn, which was not too detailed, but basically he was already well aware of what kind of agent he was.

One type of rice raises a hundred people, and one type of profession also has hundreds of people.

Darren Dunn, speaking of this, I'm afraid there is a team that has a gritted teeth. This is Arsenal. Of course, this is not because Darren Dunn's father is former Arsenal chairman David Dunn. In 2007, David Dunn chose to resign because of an irreconcilable conflict with other members of the board of directors in the matter of introducing foreign capital. In fact, for Arsenal, David Dunn can actually be regarded as a meritorious figure, because Wenger, who has become the greatest coach in Arsenal's history, was excavated from the Nagoya Whale Eight in Tokyo.

Arsenal fans’ hatred for Darren Dunn comes from another thing, one thing that makes them have to swallow their anger when facing fans of other teams, that is, Arsenal’s captain’s sorrow. From 2005 to now, Arsenal has sold six captains in nine years, and this summer, they may even lose the seventh captain, Belgian defender Vermullen. In this regard, many domestic fans have begun to come up with new teasing methods: collect seven of them and summon the dragon. Because if they lose Vermullen again, this will be the seventh captain they have lost in recent years.

It is normal to lose a captain, and it is not surprising to lose a second captain, but such a high frequency is obviously abnormal. Many people rely on the head of head coach Wenger, but in fact, it makes no sense to think about it. When a head coach appoints a captain, in addition to ability and performance, stability is also one of the factors that are considered. No head coach is willing to see his captain change every year. Then, the reason can only be other.

This is Darren Dunn.

Henry, Krish, Adebayo, Van Persie, Fabregas, Song... These stars all have a common agent, Darren Dunn, and then, they have one thing in common, that is, they are all former Arsenal stars.

Lin Sen really can't like such an agent, whether from a personal or from a work perspective. This is not because he wants to stand up for Arsenal, but I believe that not many football managers will be happy to face such an agent. Of course, this is the job of a football manager.

The meeting place with Little Dunn was arranged in a familiar place, that is the cafe in City Square, which is almost becoming Linsen's second workplace this summer.

Given his understanding of Dunn, Lin Sen had actually imagined that this meeting with Dunnn might take a long time, but what he didn't expect was that the meeting, from beginning to end, only took less than fifteen minutes, or even less than a cup of coffee.

The reason is not that Little Dunn is difficult to deal with. In fact, after seeing Lin Sen, Little Dunn seemed particularly enthusiastic and even had the intention of being on the sidelines. A few plaintives who knew that the other party was complimenting him had to admit that it was just right. But just in line with that sentence, when a person was talking about him, he was probably avoiding something.

This meeting was actually not decided by Dunn Little. The reason I said this is because just before both sides were about to get into the topic, Dunn Little suddenly raised a question.

The question is to ask Lin Sen if it is possible to take over Manchester City.

For Lin Sen, this is just a question of the old tune. Since he announced his return to Manchester City, he has answered it several times, but now the other party still has to ask again. Lin Sen does not know the intention of the other party to ask this, but obviously the other party does not believe in the answer he announced to the public, but whether he believes it or not, Lin Sen's answer is still the same.

After hearing Lin Sen's answer, a hint of disappointment appeared on his face. He shook his head and said with regret, "Then, I'm very sorry, we probably have nothing to talk about today."

There are not many people in this world who can hide their emotions in front of Lin Sen. Although Lin Sen didn't know if the words of Little Dunn came from his heart, he knew that at least the other party's emotions were true, and this also surprised Lin Sen a little by the words.

Why?

Lin Sen doesn't think his answer has anything to do with today's meeting.

"Before coming here, Seske told me that today's meeting could only be carried out under one premise, that is, the answer to the question I just asked was yes." Little Dunn said, then spread his hands, "So..."

Lin Sen was stunned.

The answer to the question is yes? Re-coach Manchester City?

"Simply put, the only premise for Seske to come to Manchester City is that you are the head coach." It seemed that Lin Sen's expression made Dunn think that he was not clear enough, so he directly pointed out the words, "Even if it's just possible."

Lin Sen shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Possible? But it is impossible.

He seemed to be happy about Dunn Jr., because it means that he already had the charm of attracting players of Fabregas, which is undoubtedly a thing to be proud of. However, Lin Sen couldn't be happy now, because he could not coach Manchester City at all. Even if Pellegrini left, he could not coach Manchester City again. Returning to the king seemed exciting, but Lin Sen no longer had the motivation, and it was absolutely impossible to do a good job without motivation.

But that's true?

"I should thank Seske for his trust, but Pellegrini is also an excellent coach..." Lin Sen was not willing to give up.

"No." Dunn, the young man interrupted Linson, shook his head with certainty, "Pellegrini is indeed an excellent coach, but he cannot impress Seske. To be honest, there are not many coaches in this world that can attract Seske to play for. Unfortunately, Pellegrini is not one of them. If you can't coach Manchester City, then Seske can only go to one place, because the head coach there is also the coach that Seske admires, and he has already called Seske."

Dunn Jr. didn't say who the head coach was, but the answer was about to come out.

Who else can it be except Mourinho?

----------------

Lin Sen watched Little Dunn leave, his face full of gloom.

Fabregas seemed to be about to get rid of his wishful thinking, but his plan was not as good as God's plan. Lin Sen made many mistakes, but one thing was missing, that was the head coach's attraction.

For most players, transfer is often "involved in the world" because you don't have much qualifications to choose, but for big-name stars, transfer is a two-way choice, similar to blind dates. It is not enough to be satisfied with the other party, but you must also be satisfied with yourself. The bigger the star, the more harsh the conditions for "blind dates".

The club's reputation, European qualifications, future plans, their own status, and... the head coach.

After Lin Sen led Manchester City to win the Champions League twice in three years, he undoubtedly became the diamond fifth. He has always been the one who has chosen people. He rarely was selected by others. But now, he is already a "married person". Although he is still tall, rich and handsome, not everyone is willing to be a mistress. What's more, he now clearly refuses to "cheat". In this case, when another tall, rich and handsome waves, the outcome is not difficult to predict.

Lin Sen is powerless to do anything about this. He can't let him eat what he says, right?

But in this way, will Suarez's transfer fail?

Lin Sen, who returned to the car, did not start the car immediately, but instead tapped the steering wheel with his hand while thinking about where the transfer would go.

The transfer failed, and this is possible, and this is something Pellegrini is happy to see. Although it is a good thing to get Sanchez and Fabregas, no one knows what kind of performance they will perform after they come. Leaving Suarez, at least there is no concern in this regard. This is not bad news for Pellegrini, who must achieve results in the second season.

The problem lies with Suarez. The players' thoughts are obviously no longer Manchester City. Of course, it is okay to force themselves to stay, but is it really meaningful?

Then, the transfer continues? It is not impossible. Fabregas doesn't come, it doesn't mean that it is impossible to substitute people, or just like Subizareta's previous proposal, Sanchez is also a possibility. In this case, who else can Barcelona put in the substitution? How much money should they add? These are all problems.

After thinking for more than ten minutes, Lin Sen seemed to have made a decision. He then took out his cell phone and dialed Pellegrini's first, and then briefly mentioned the transfer situation. Of course, Lin Sen ignored the question raised by Dunn little and immediately put forward his own opinions.

Pellegrini, who has begun to resume pre-season training and will lead the team to North America for warm-up training in two days, did not respond to Lin Sen's reaction to Lin Sen's situation. He was silent for a long time. During this period, Lin Sen was always waiting patiently. Then, he only improved to Pellegrini and smiled bitterly at the end, and said only one sentence, "Leave everything to you."

Pellegrini's words sounded like Linson's trust, but in fact, it was more of helplessness. It was not that Fabregas would not come, but that Suarez would still leave after all.

After the simple call with Pellegrini, Linsen immediately called another phone number.
