Chapter 38 Calm
Linson will leave Atletico instead of becoming his assistant coach. When Resino learned the news from the club, he was actually relieved.
Resino, who played goalkeeper in his player age, played in the first league for nine years in his career, wore Atletico jerseys for nine years. His coaching style can actually be seen from the style of his player age, believing in tradition and adhering to rules and regulations. Although tradition does not mean conservative, it is almost impossible for him to do dangerous moves.
So, although he only watched Linson's game on the spot, Resino was almost certain that the current acting head coach of Atletico Madrid is a person with a decisive personality. The reason why he nodded when Cerezo proposed that Linson be his assistant coach was not so much acknowledged, but rather a tradition in his bones was a cause for his own tradition. Obviously, he didn't want to have differences of opinion with Cerezo from the beginning. After all, disagreement of personality cannot be a reason for his rejection.
Although he has signed a contract with Atletico Madrid, Resino is unable to take over the team for the time being, because in name, Linson is also the head coach of Atletico Madrid. However, this does not prevent him from observing his team. On May 18, Atletico Madrid challenged Atletico Santander away, and Resino appeared in the stands again. This time, his identity has become the future head coach of Atletico Madrid.
It is said that Lin Sen refused any questions about the coaching position before the game and only answered some regular pre-match questions, which made Resino look at Lin Sen. The game is about to happen. It can be seen that Lin Sen has not lost his due calmness because of his impending departure. Resino looked at Lin Sen's starting lineup, and there was no major change from the previous game. The three young players still started. The only change was that Reyes was replaced by Aguero.
Resino actually disagreed with this starting lineup.
Apart from Camacho, the other two young players Lin Sen trusted had poor performance. Although the responsibility for de Gea's conceding goal was not on him, in the eyes of Resino, who was born as a goalkeeper, it was because of lack of experience. De Gea could actually choose to attack that ball. And the other young player Cork who scored an own goal, except for his positive attitude, Resino did not see any outstanding characteristics than other players.
In the last game, commentator Kossol described Linson as letting young people start by selling hope. Resino agrees very much, because besides this reason, he couldn't think of any reason to explain Linson's move. No team hopes that there will be a small group in the team, but supporting the trustworthy is a necessary process for many coaches. This is what Resino learned to coach Castellion. In his opinion, he can only focus on the trusty's target on the young people, which just reflects Linson's current situation at Atletico.
Athletic Santander, which has secured a seat in the League Cup this season, has packed its home court, and since it has already led Mallorca, who is four points behind, this game is more like a huge celebration party for Athletic Santander fans. Marcellino, who led Vilva to eighth in the league last season, will definitely not ruin the party.
So, before the game began, Resino was sure that it would be difficult for Atletico Madrid to win. However, the progress of the game surprised Resino a little.
In the fourth minute, Gare made a cross from the left to the back point, Corsa headed the ball to the middle, Mnitis, who followed the ball in the middle, directly hit the ball into Atletico's goal near the penalty point, Atletico Santander got a fantastic start, which seemed to confirm Rescino's prediction before the game. However, less than three minutes later, Atletico Madrid equalized the score: Raul Garcia gave the ball behind him, Aguero reversed offside and formed a one-on-one strike. Argentine golden boy scored his first goal after his comeback, and his seventh goal of the season, helping Atletico Madrid equalize the score. After the goal, Aguero ran to the sidelines and hugged Lin Sen, using the goal as a gift to bid farewell to Lin Sen.
Next, the game seemed to have entered the rhythm of Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid, who had been unlucky for most of the season, seemed to have recovered their supposed momentum. In the 19th and 31st minutes, Aguero scored twice in a row, and Perea took advantage of the corner kick opportunity to add icing on the cake. Atletico Madrid led 3:1 away at the end of the first half.
In the second half, Resino did not watch it. It was not that he didn't want to watch it, but that he was recognized in the stands. Because he was just in the stands of ordinary fans, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, Resino had to leave early. When he returned to his residence and turned on the TV, the game was about to end, and the score was 5:1!
This is the final match of Atletico Madrid this season, this is Linsen's last game at Atletico Madrid, and at the same time, this is also the biggest victory that Atletico Madrid has achieved this season!
"Thank you, thank you, Atletico Madrid, thank you, thank you, coaching staff..." Lin Sen has always felt that he was insincere in this speech that almost brought the 18 generations of ancestors to thank you, but when he had to face this situation, he realized that this was actually the most straightforward speech. If you miss one, it may be a sin. Only when you can everyone be happy. As for sincerity, sincerity expressed in words is itself separated from the meaning of sincerity, so let the sincerity go to the ghost.
"After the contract expires, I will leave Atletico Madrid and find a job as a head coach."
“I wish Resino and Atletico Madrid good results next season.”
...
At the press conference after the game, Lin Sen ended the last suspense of everyone about whether he would continue to stay at Atletico Madrid for other jobs. From the beginning to the end, Lin Sen finally did not let the reporter get even a complaint against Atletico from his mouth. In the words of Moreno from Daily Sports, this is called shameless; Asce reporter Morero called it a low-key departure. Rhodes from Independent used a more neutral word: calm.
"There is no complaint, only simple blessings. Lin Sen's breakup with Atletico was unexpectedly simple and unexpectedly calm. It is a strong contrast with the score he won in the last game before leaving. If Atletico Madrid's decision to appoint Resino was expected, then Lin Sen's departure could only be described in a reasonable way.
Atletico Madrid only needs a guardian coach, an agent coach, a transitional coach, or even a coach who doesn't need a coach. This is probably a destined thing when Lin took over Atletico Madrid, and what determines Lin's embarrassing position is the embarrassing situation of Atletico Madrid. However, even the senior executives of Atletico Madrid did not expect that it was Lin, who was just an amateur coach in many people who saw him as a proven to the world that he was a qualified head coach. The player refused to play, his residence was attacked, and the club announced his next head coach in advance. In less than two months, Lin encountered challenges that some coaches would never even face in their lifetime. Faced with all this, Lin Sen gave the answer: in the last five games after these situations, there was no defeat!
You must admit that the bad Atletico Madrid gradually regained its true nature under Lin's hands. Lin gradually changed from an amateur coach and a professional doctor in people's eyes to a professional coach and part-time doctor. When many people regard Lin's heavy use of young people as selling hope, one thing they selectively ignore is that in Lin's "selling hope" games, Atletico Madrid did not lose even one game! I believe that if this hope is for sale, then Atletico Madrid fans would be very happy to buy it.
Of course, Lin's departure has become a fact. Regardless of whether Resino is the better choice, we have no intention of judging whether Atletico's decision to change coach is correct. But if Lin leads another team to Calderon one day, will Calderon be as calm as Lin today?"
"It seems you admire Lin?" Barr put down the newspaper in his hand, leaned his body on the chair, then looked at Rhodes with a slanted look, and laughed: "If you don't know about this article, do you think you are Lin's agent or something."
"What? Do you have any objections? Or do you think it's more appropriate to use shamelessness?" Rhode ignored Barr's ridicule and said sarcastically: "By the way, you've started reading the newspaper again, I'm really happy for you."
"Do you really think Lin will return to Calderon one day? As a team doctor?"
"Belittle Lin cannot make Atletico Madrid stronger, Barr." Rhode shook his head, "As far as I know, there is already a team interested in Lin. It is you Atletico Madrid fans who choose to ignore it. They always feel that other people's wives are more beautiful, and they always feel that no matter how good a man is, they are not worthy of their daughter. It is your mentality."
Barr snorted coldly and said, "Just blow."
"Do you believe it or not?" Rhode picked up the wine glass and took a sip, stopping talking.
If it weren't for the fit and the work needs, Rhodes wouldn't bother to talk about this with Barr and argue with Atletico Madrid fans about the head coach? Are you crazy?
"Tell me about Resino. What do you think of Atletico next season?" Barr quickly changed the topic.
Rhode sighed in his heart, otherwise, the fans who were extremely affectionate to the team were actually quite ruthless in thinking about this. Thinking of this, Rhode replied angrily: "I don't know."
This is not an angry word.
Atletico Madrid's prospects are good enough this season. At the beginning of the season, he claimed to be in the top three and wins steadily, and he is expected to compete for the championship. What about now?
