Things happened suddenly.

For the chairman of a team, the football world is sometimes outrageous, either poaching people or being poached. For a team that has just been promoted to the First Division, the chance of being poached is obviously much greater than that of poaching people. Therefore, for Muniz's goal of making a difference, Fernando Sans's mood is not anger with helplessness, but helplessness with anger.

Anger is more aimed at Athletic Santander, which is poaching, and helplessness is more aimed at Muniz who is being poached. In La Liga, although Athletic Santander and Malaga are not considered strong teams, the history of Athletic Santander in La Liga is undoubtedly much longer than that of Malaga, who was only promoted to the First Division at the end of the last century. As for the reason why Muniz abandoned Malaga, Sans actually knew very well that Muniz, who participated in many major decisions in team reconstruction, knew too many things that outsiders didn't know.

The energetic promoted team is just a nice saying. The reality is that one of the strongest teams in the B Division is about to become one of the weakest teams in the A Division. Faced with this contrast, it is not just the competitive level. Malaga's transfer budget in the new season is destined to be pitifully small, and the B Division budget in La Liga is undoubtedly insignificant. What's worse is that Malaga's own debt determines that Malaga will not improve in a short period of time. In this way, it is not surprising that Muniz abandons Malaga and switches to Santander Athletics.

"The advantages and disadvantages of both of them are very clear. Tapia wins is that it is familiar with the team and can minimize the running-in period to the greatest extent. Lin helped Atletico Madrid successfully stop the decline in the season just ended. It can be seen that he is a coach who likes to use young players, which is in line with our reconstruction ideas." Team adviser Aguilar said, "Actually, Lin is still one of the reasons why we change coaches. One of the direct reasons for Athletico Santander's change coaches is that they lost 1:5 to Atletico Madrid led by Lin in the last round. Otherwise, with Athletico Santander's ranking, they have little chance of changing coaches."

"What does Tapia mean?"

"I haven't communicated with him yet. But I don't think the problem is big, although he likes his current position very much."

"What about your opinion?" Sans looked at the information in his hand and looked up and asked, "Which one do you prefer?"

"At the competitive level, Tapia. After all, this is his own person. In addition to not having the experience of leading the team in the first league, he is good in all aspects." Aguilar thought for a while and quickly answered Sans' question, "Although Lin has experience in leading the team in the first league, he only has a few games. Apart from that, the experience of leading the team is actually not as rich as Tapia. However, I still recommend getting in touch with Lin first."

"Okay, let's get in touch first. You know, Lin is a Chinese coach, and this is very important to the club."

"I understand." Aguilar nodded.

Since Sanz took office, developing club membership has been his important goal. As Spain's second largest Mediterranean port city, Malaga has always been one of the main gathering places for Chinese people in Spain. Obviously, if Malaga can welcome a Chinese coach, it will be very helpful in attracting Chinese fans.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Lin Sen didn't expect that he had just submitted his resume everywhere like a newly graduated student. Before he got a reply, he received an unexpected interview invitation from the A-level team, Malaga, who had even given up his hopes.

Lin Sen is not unfamiliar with the club in Malaga, because this club almost becomes La Liga Manchester City in the future, of course, just a little bit.

Two years later, before the 2010 season began, Qatar royal member Abdullah Al Thani acquired shares in Malaga as the team's chairman. Then, while maintaining the leadership of the team, Sans was hired as the team's consultant, and at the same time, he made drastic transformation of the team. Within a few years, Malaga jumped from a relegation team to a team that reached the quarterfinals of the European Champions League. If it weren't for the bad luck, he would play later. Dortmund, who entered the final, scored two goals in stoppage time, and Malaga might even go further. However, the team's outstanding record did not change the fact that the club had many hidden dangers. As the Middle East consortium withdraws its capital, the club also fell into a financial crisis, and then the important players in the team were sold off. Malaga's fall was as fast as its rise, just like a steep parabola, which is a pity. Otherwise, with Malaga's record at that time, it might have really become Manchester City in La Liga.

Of course, these are all later stories. At present, Malaga, according to Lin Sen's understanding, is still a Cinderella who has never seen crystal shoes, doing heavy work and not having too many unrealistic dreams.

From Madrid to Malaga, since the high-speed rail was just opened at the end of last year, Lin Sen received an invitation in the morning and appeared in a cafe in Malaga in the afternoon. It was not in the reception room of the Malaga Club. This meeting was unofficial no matter how you look at it, but it doesn't matter, Lin Sen could understand the other party's concerns.

Fernando Sans, many people are more accustomed to calling him Sans Jr., in other words, he is a rich second generation, and a rich second generation with ideals and ambitions. His father is the famous former Real Madrid president Lorenzo Sans. After he resigned from the Champions League three times in five years, he has been obsessed with football. However, he failed to run for Real Madrid twice and then even wanted to join Parma, Serie A. It was not until two years ago that Sans did not leave the horse. Laga's former chairman Rordan bought all the shares, and it is said that there is the shadow of Old Sans's wife, because Old Sans's wife Ingorede and Rordan both come from the Asensio family in Spain. As for Malaga's current chairman Sons, the process of becoming the chairman of Malaga is even more dramatic, because just two years ago, he was the captain of the team in Malaga, and almost in the blink of an eye, he transformed from captain to the chairman of the club.

Looking at the little Sans, who is not much older than him, Lin Sen felt that his coach could not say how young he was. However, Lin Sen was actually a little surprised that she came alone to attend the meeting, whether it was Little Sans or Aguilar. They did not expect that Lin did not actually have an agent.

"Sorry, I don't have an agent yet." Lin Sen saw the other party's surprise and started to speak up and said self-deprecatingly, "I hope this will not affect my impression points."

"No problem. We can be more honest." Sangs also smiled slightly.

It is said that the first impression determines success or failure. Obviously, Lin Sen's joke at least did not disgust the other party. Not only Sans, but also the expression on Aguilar's face also eased a lot.

"Let's get straight to the point. Mr. Lin, we all know that you coached Atletico Madrid before, which is a big team. Can I hear your opinion on Atletico Madrid?" The person who spoke was still the main "interviewer" Sans.

Why do you always like to ask such questions during interviews?

Lin Sen felt a little helpless when he heard the words of Sons. This question that makes evaluating the old club is really old-fashioned and troublesome. Anyway, it depends on the other party's mood when he said it well or badly. However, the question still has to be answered. He thought for a while and then slowly said: "I don't like to evaluate my old club. However, when he left Atletico Madrid, I met with Atletico Madrid chairman Serezzo. At that time, I once told Serezzo a sentence, I said, one day, he will be proud of Atletico Madrid. And one day, a team will be proud of me. I'm sorry that the team is not Atletico Madrid. This is the original saying. I think this sentence can be used to answer your question."

Lin Sen deliberately hid this "small" detail that he did not say to Cerrezzo in the second half.

Little Sans was a little surprised. Aguilar next to him also looked at Lin Sen with a little surprise. Obviously they didn't expect Lin Sen to give such an answer. Whether Lin Sen said something is a fact is actually not the most important thing. What is important is that since Lin Sen dares to say these words, whether it is arrogant or strong, it can at least explain one thing: the Chinese in front of him is a very confident guy.

"You can tell that you are very confident." At this time, Aguilar next to him finally spoke, "So, if you coach Malaga, I mean, what do you think of Malaga's transfer work in the new season?"

It should be said that no matter how you look at Aguilar's problem, it is ordinary, because this may be a problem that all coaches will encounter during interviews, but at this time, Sans's eyes moved slightly.

When Malaga just entered the First League, the then hero coach Muniz had a meeting with Sans Jr. and Aguilar. Since many players in the lineup last season would leave after the end of the season, the content of this meeting was to determine the team building policy for the new season. At that time, Muniz's idea was to completely rebuild. He believed that the current group of players was not enough to deal with the La Liga, and the club's senior management believed that the club's current financial difficulties were in short supply and could not support the complete reconstruction. This also became the fuse, or excuse for Muniz's subsequent departure. Of course, there was also the willingness of Muniz to go to a high place.

With Muniz's past lessons and Lin Sen just showed his confidence, Aguilar's question at this time was actually a bit subtle.

"Focus on stability as the main thing, repair as the supplement." This time, Lin Sen's answer was concise and to the point. He was not a pretentious coach in this regard. Since he was delivered to him by himself, he naturally had to recognize the reality.

But Sans and Aguilar suddenly looked at each other at the same time. Both of them saw surprise from each other's eyes. Aguilar intended to raise this question after Lin Sen showed confidence, but in fact he wanted to see what kind of answer Lin Sen would give between confidence and reality. Because confident people often tend to forget where they are.

But unexpectedly, Lin Sen, who was so confident that he was almost "freak", made such a conservative answer, but this answer coincided with the transfer idea that Malaga's senior executives had established.

"Similarly, if you take charge of Malaga, where do you think the team's goal for the new season should be set?" The person asked was still Aguilar.

"European arena." Lin Sen's tone was plain, and he seemed to just say it casually.

But this answer made the two people sitting opposite him frown at the same time.

"Europe...court?" Aguilar opened his eyes wide, but couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The tone that had become a little eager to answer was suddenly cold, "Do you mean the top seven in the league?"

The reason for this is the top seven is that with the current UEFA president Michel Platini taking office last year, as part of the changes in UEFA's Champions League and League Cup, the Toto Cup will be abolished in 2009. In other words, the International Toto Cup in the new season will be the last. Therefore, the new season will be without the qualification of the Toto Cup. If you want to enter the European arena, you can only be the League Cup at least.

Sans on the side still frowned. No matter how good his first impression of Lin Sen was, he shook his head at Lin Sen, a obviously unrealistic target.

"Of course, this requires conditions." Lin Sen nodded and said nodded.

"condition?"
