Chapter 4 Amateur

Free Press.

This is a Spanish sports newspaper, which is not small in scale. Of course, it is incomparable to the famous newspapers such as "Marca" and "As". The newspaper mainly reports on football events and is supplemented by other sports news. In Spain, where football is popular, although it cannot compete with other major newspapers, it also has its own foothold.

The headquarter of the Liberty newspaper is located in Madrid, the capital. Like other major European leagues, the football geography of each league actually determines the direction of media and public opinion. For example, the newspaper "As" headquartered in Madrid always favors Real Madrid, and even has the title of Real Madrid, while the "Daily Sports" in Catalonia always waves the flag for Barcelona. Teams that are mortal enemies in the league can often be most directly reflected in the newspapers represented by their regional representatives.

From this perspective, the view of Liberty News seems objective, because although it is headquartered in Madrid, due to the existence of Ass and Marca, even if Liberty News wants to sway the flag for Real Madrid, it is less important and seems a bit insignificant. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Liberty News is very sensible to build its newspaper view on a "neutral" position.

This position is both good and bad. The advantage is that the fans on both sides do not offend, which ensures the sales of newspapers. The bad thing is that there are no absolute dead-shot readers.

Rhode Gonzalez is the deputy editor-in-chief of the Liberty Press. Although the Liberty Press is not big, Rhodes naturally has many networks in the industry, including many fans. For example, Sesque Barr, the head of Atletico Madrid's largest fan organization.

"Do you know?" At this time, inside a bar, Rod looked at Bar in front of him with a surprised look.

"I just found out soon." Barr took a sip of beer and looked a little relieved. This time he asked Rod to come out to confirm with Rhodes that a large number of coaches had resigned with head coach Aguire. As a result, Rhodes gave him a positive answer.

Obviously, there is no wind and waves.

"Damn." After receiving the affirmative reply, Rhode was even more surprised, "Your information is more informative than me, this is internal news. Haven't you not read the newspaper recently? How did you know?"

newspaper……

Barr snorted coldly, what newspaper he read? He really didn't feel that way as others praised his team's mortal enemy and mocked his favorite team.

"Don't ask, tell me if there is any news about the new coach?" Barr looked up at Rhodes, ignored Rhodes' surprise and asked casually.

"Yes!" Rhode's answer was without any hesitation, "and it was explosive news."

"Oh?" Barr took another big sip of beer. The explosive news in Rhodes's mouth was not explosive at all in his eyes. Atletico Madrid now, what is the point of discussing who leads the team?

He glanced at the half-dead Barr with a squinted look. Rhode smiled and said, "The new coach is a team doctor!"

"puff……"

This time it exploded.

Barr directly sprayed out the beer he had just poured, ignoring his beard with white hops at all, staring at his round eyes and said, "Team Doctor?!"

"And he is a Chinese."

Rhode looked at Barr's reaction with satisfaction and said another sentence.

Now, Barr's face turned blue.

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

Two days later, Atletico Madrid's official website announced that former Atletico Madrid staff member Lin Sen became the acting head coach of Atletico Madrid, and the young Chinese will lead Atletico Madrid to the last seven games of the season. The two sides signed a short-term contract, and the contract will be renewed until the end of this season. Whether to renew the contract will be determined by the situation.

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.

“GIVEUP!”

The front page headline, the few major players Atletico Madrid placed this position this season, "Marca" newspaper used huge bold letters to give such a title.

GIVEUP, there are two explanations for this term, one is giving up and the other is surrender. No matter which explanation, it is full of a strong sense of ridicule. It is not just Marca. Almost all media have used similar words in reports on this matter. Aguire's resignation is unexpected, but it is reasonable. Atletico Madrid has no desires this season. This is a fact that everyone knows, but no one expected that Cerezo would actually choose an amateur coach who has no coaching experience to be the acting head coach.

It is said that after learning the news, Atletico Madrid fans had organized personnel to protest at Atletico Madrid's headquarters. Many extreme fans held various slogans and cursed the team's senior management. Some fans even attacked the headquarters buildings with stones and other debris. Fortunately, the police arrived in time and did not cause any personnel to be in danger.

The media and fans vented all their anger on the senior management of Atletico Madrid. As for Lin Sen, he was just an innocent pitiful person and was not even qualified to be a scapegoat.

Just when the outside world was in a state of upside down, Lin Sen had packed all his personal belongings in the medical room and was preparing to settle in the head coach's office. No one expected that things would develop like this. Lin Sen himself did not expect that the outside world had been speculating about how all this happened, but in fact, things were unexpectedly simple.

He originally planned to report to Cerrezzo about Aguero, but Cerrezzo asked him if he was qualified to coach. Of course, he had coaching qualifications, and he was very advanced. Without interest in football, he would not be able to be a team doctor. Being a head coach was once a dream, but this dream gradually faded with time and reality. After all, in the field of coaching, which is particularly serious in terms of ranking, he was too small. But Cerrezzo's proposal made him shine! So, the next thing was natural.

Being a head coach, why not?

In terms of tactical level coaching experience, maybe he is indeed half a bucket of water now, but he can't stand his leading level of nearly ten years. If possible, Guardiola, who will scrape the extreme control flow in Barcelona next season, might burst into tears. In terms of human trafficker level... the so-called vision is considered a low-level ability in his eyes. Lin Sen did not intend to change his track, but now, since he has this opportunity and has the most powerful plug-in in the world, he feels that he may not become the greatest coach in history, but there is no reason not to become a successful, at least the most profitable coach, well, the only one. So he considered at this time, that is, how can he convince the public.

Of course, the crowd here cannot be the media, nor are the fans who are taking the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction throughout the season at this time, but the team that is most practical in front of him!

Even Aguirre cannot know the current state of Atletico Madrid than Lin Sen. In Lin Sen's eyes, Atletico Madrid on the field almost never sees color on his head except for some players. Yes, there is no color, that is, there is no state. But the problem is: these people are playing, not hanging around. The color they should appear most should be green, and it is best to be dark green that represents the excited state.

Hope is beautiful, reality is cruel. Knowing what state does not mean that Lin Sen can change. How the players view the next game and what mentality they plan to play is different from physical injuries. It is not controlled by drugs, but only related to the treatment method. Lin Sen does not think that he has the personal charm of Mourinho that can make players work hard for him, not to mention that his personal charm is piled up with a real championship, so he had to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses: he planned to make a bet.

If you win the bet, the world will be peaceful, and there will be one more football coach in the world who is at least a gaze.

If he lost the bet, the world would be peaceful, but Lin Sen had to continue walking the path he should have taken in shame.

So, Lin Sen decided to hold an in-team meeting, which was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Sen came to the conference room at 2:30, and then he adjusted the match charts of the standings that have been going on this season and the next three rounds of La Liga on the screen in the conference room. Next, he began to sit on the stage and wait for the players to arrive.

At 2:46, the first one was Antonio Lopez, who had a good relationship with Linsen. He was accompanied by Italian bald goalkeeper Christian Abbiati and Luis García who came on loan from AC Milan. After the three of them came to the conference room, they nodded at Linsen and sat in their seats without saying a word. Two minutes later, Diego Forlán, the Uruguayan star who was injured, appeared alone. He also nodded to Linsen. Since Fran, there have been no players who came alone. They basically appeared in three or three. Young people have small groups of young people, and old players have small circles of old players, which is no exception for any team.

At 2:59, Lin Sen looked at the players below. There were 26 players in the first team of Atletico Madrid, and the number was not bloated. Thiago Motta, a professional glass man, was far away from Brazil because of his injury. He was not allowed to attend the meeting. He was 25 people who were supposed to attend the meeting, but now he was 15 people, and there were still ten people who had not arrived. Just when Lin Sen was about to check who had not arrived, three-legged Aguero walked in from the door. After entering, he smiled at Lin Sen and walked directly to the seats in the back row.

OK, there are nine left now.

Five minutes later, five people led by Argentine goalkeeper Franco attended the meeting.

Eight minutes later, Spanish genius Antonio Reyes and defender Pernia arrived.

Fifteen minutes later, Portuguese winger Simao and Portuguese midfielder Maniche finally arrived.
