In the office, smoke lingers.

This is Manchester City headquarters, and this is Linson's office.

Lin Sen doesn't smoke, but he also has times when he smokes, such as when he encounters problems. For example, now head coach Pellegrini is sitting in front of him, his face is not very good, just like Lin Sen's face at this time.

Of course there is only one topic.

Bell stopped training.

When a player expresses his wishes in this way, it is undoubtedly the worst situation for the club, because it means that the player himself has no intention of leaving any retreat, and at the same time, it has not left any retreat for the club. For Manchester City, there are only two ways to go, letting people go or letting people go later. In short, they all need to let people go, the only difference is whether the two sides are in harmony or completely breaking up.

"Have he asked for leave?" Lin Sen asked clumsyly.

"Not formal." Pellegrini shook her head, "But I called me and said I was not feeling well."

Physical discomfort?

Lin Sen smiled, it was okay, it was also considered a reason.

"What I worry about is that this may not be the last time." Pellegrini said when he saw Lin Sen not speaking.

Lin Sen nodded. Pellegrini's concern was the most concerned thing from the outside world now. The strike was a strong signal, and it would not be a one-time signal. As long as there was no response, the signal would keep flashing, because with the first time, I would definitely not mind the second time. The reason is very simple. For Bell, there is no difference at all.

Thinking of this, Lin Sen is no longer just disappointed with Bell.

It is true that Bale left Tottenham and joined Real Madrid in memory, it seems that the process and Tottenham were not pleasant, but that was because Tottenham could not meet Bale's competitive and economic requirements, and these two points. Manchester City can completely satisfy Bale at the moment, and Lin Sen really couldn't imagine why he needed to leave in such a resolute way. And...

It was at this critical moment.

The new Premier League season is about to start. At this moment, almost all teams are focusing on the upcoming season. Even if there are still unfinished transactions, it is basically clear that it should be left or stay. At this time, Manchester City is trapped in this huge soap opera, and the target is Real Madrid.

"In the game the day after tomorrow, I'm going to let Reus start." Pellegrini continued, "the position of playing Bale."

Lin Sen still nodded, then said, "I agree."

For football, this is an era of discipline first. The past situation of the past when he didn't train for a few days and went directly to the game. No matter how big a genius this person is, no matter how high this person has a high status in the team. What's more, in this case, Pellegrini does not want Bale to leave, but Bale is not higher than the team.

Lin Sen thought for a while and added, "Since that's the case, don't enter the big list announced later?"

Lin Sen used a tone of consultation in this sentence. Because formulating the game list is the right of the head coach, no one has the right and should not interfere. Including Lin Sen now.

"Will this..." Pellegrini frowned slightly when she heard this.

"No." Before Pellegrini could say it, Lin Sen said simply, "this is exactly what he wants."

Pellegrini thought for a moment, agreed with Lin Sen's words helplessly, and nodded.

"I'm sorry about this. Manuel." Linson said apologetically.

Lin Sen is not pretending to be a pretentious person. Bale's transfer has developed to this point, and it can be said that it has completely broken away from Lin Sen's control. Even if Lin Sen is unwilling to admit it, he has to admit it. Although Bale has not left the team yet, it is actually not much different from leaving the team, because for Pellegrini, the current situation is even more troublesome than Bale's departure.

"It's okay." Pellegrini smiled bitterly, "This is not something you can decide. Not many people can say no to the club. Actually, I should have thought of this."

That club naturally refers to Real Madrid, and the reason why Pellegrini said this is because he was once unable to refuse invitations from Real Madrid.

"However, if Bale leaves the team, the current team's frontcourt may..."

Pellegrini didn't continue to say anything because he knew Linson knew what he wanted to say.

Sure enough, Lin Sen nodded.

Things have reached this point, and no matter how it develops next, it is inevitable to introduce alternatives.

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

"Bayer stopped training and Manchester City gave in."

This is the report of most media in England today.

Faced with Bale's strike, at least on the surface, the only reaction given by Manchester City is to win Bale away against Newcastle in the weekend's Premier League opening game. In response, Pellegrini gave at the press conference, which was also the reason given by Bale: physical discomfort.

In the eyes of many people, Manchester City's reaction is obviously a bit powerless.

But is this really the case?

In fact, this is just an illusion. Players cannot compete with the club. If the club really wants to make things difficult for the players. Just like Bale's current situation, Lin Sen has at least several ways to achieve the so-called "hard" treatment.

Delegated to the reserve team, absent from training and deducting salary... But in this way, toughness is toughness, and then what?

Of course, not adopting such a treatment method does not mean that Lin Sen is a clay Bodhisattva without any temper, not to mention that even a clay Bodhisattva has three points of anger.

He gave a price tag that was enough to make any club timid.

Of course, this price is difficult, but it can also be said that it is not exactly.

Because if Real Madrid wants Bale, Lin Sen will not be rude to the other party.

Each club has its own finances. Lin Sen doesn't know the financial situation of Real Madrid, but he knows that this club, which is known as the richest, will never be short of money at least this summer. Although they have successively introduced Tony Cross and J Ronaldo, especially J Ronaldo, they have spent a sky-high price, but from the perspective of net transfer investment, Real Madrid is probably still investing higher than their output, Xavi Alonso, Morata, Shahin, Di Maria...

Don't be confused by the super investment of Real Madrid's superstars. Apart from these people, when did Real Madrid have done a loss-making business? Not to mention free introduction and high-price selling is something they often do. Even if the players introduced at high prices, most of them will choose some young geniuses. Even if these players cannot play, it is enough to ensure that they will not let Real Madrid lose all their money.

In this case, Lin Sen still remembers Bale's value in transfer to Real Madrid in memory, even if he has no impression, he cannot be polite to Real Madrid.

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

"Two million?"

Madrid, Florentino also sat in his office, and opposite him was another heavyweight from Real Madrid, General Manager Jose Sanchez.

When saying this number that was enough to make many people dizzy, Florentino's face was still smiling, and he didn't seem to care much about this number.

"That Chinese has always had a big appetite." Jose Sanchez nodded and said, as if he was used to it.

"But you have to admit that this Chinese has the ability to be proportional to his appetite." Florentino smiled and suddenly sighed in his heart.

He remembered that when the Chinese was still in Spain and had not yet gone to Manchester City, Mendes once mentioned him to him. At that time, he did not take this young man who came from Atletico Madrid and had just made some achievements in Malaga. Now, he has become one of the most successful young coaches in the world, and is recognized as the most profitable coach.

From the perspective of a club operator, what is more important than the latter? After confirming Mourinho's departure two years ago, Florentino even tried Mendes for the possibility of Linson going to Madrid. Unfortunately, Mendes clearly told him that Linson wanted to take a rest for a year. Therefore, Florentino, who could not let the team's coach position wait for anyone for a year, finally invited Ancelotti. The success of Real Madrid last season also proved that this was not a wrong decision.

Jose Sanchez smiled and nodded in recognition of Florentino's words.

In fact, there is nothing to be controversial about. How could the head coach who can lead the team to win the Champions League twice in three years be a mediocre person?

However, this is not the first time that Jose Sanchez has seen Florentino evaluate Lin Sen in such an admirable tone. In his impression, Florentino seems not to be a chairman who can easily say good things to others. So...

Jose Sanchez suddenly felt helpless.

Lin Sen is a genius coach, and he does not deny this, but the more talented the coach, the stronger the coach, the more powerful the coach, is often prone to conflict with the people he cooperates with. He has not forgotten how Bardano left Real Madrid. So, what about Lin Sen? He heard that once he returned to Manchester City this time, the former Manchester City sports director Ma Wood turned into a youth training supervisor. On the surface, it was just a change in his position, but everyone knows that it is actually giving way to Lin Sen.

As one of the most famous clubs in the world, Real Madrid's coach position is also the most difficult position in the world, because no coach can succeed forever, and this is a position that requires success forever. Therefore, even if Ancelotti, who is currently in a honeymoon period with Real Madrid, no matter Jose Sanchez believes that Italians are easier to get along with than Mourinho before, he dare not conclude that Ancelotti can fill his term in this position.

Yes, it's just a term. So, what about after Ancelotti?

"If there is a price tag, it's not a problem." At this time, Florentino said lightly.

For Florentino, 200 million is a price tag, and 2 million is also a price tag. There is no big difference. This is his confidence and Real Madrid's confidence.

"I plan to go to Manchester in person in two days," said Jose Sanchez.
