Chapter 52 Considerations
Lin Sen finally knows what Mourinho said before meant by the best opportunity.∈♀
"This is a chance you deserve, Lin, I think you should seize it." Mendes said it with great sincerity.
Lin Sen didn't say anything, as if thinking about something.
Lin Sen can naturally hear the flattery of Mendes. If the feeling of being deserved is removed, the so-called opportunity to deserve is probably "qualification". Not everyone can coach Real Madrid, because Real Madrid's requirements for the head coach have never been as simple as a head coach.
Bosque is one of the best coaches in Real Madrid's history, but he still had to leave because Real Madrid thinks he is too simple. Capello, who coached Real Madrid twice, chose to leave after leading Real Madrid to win the league championship, because Real Madrid thinks his coaching style is not gorgeous enough. Mourinho seems to be a perfect match for Real Madrid, but in the end he still had to leave because of his conflict with Real Madrid's locker room. Now, it's Ancelotti, who just won the Champions League for Real Madrid last season, why doesn't Lin Sen feel strange at all? Because Lin Sen knows that he is not surprised at all because he is not surprised at all, because everyone knows that Real Madrid can always find a reason to fire you.
However, even so, Lin Sen had to agree with some of Mendes' views, which was an opportunity.
Who doesn't want to coach the best team in the world? This is the same mentality as the players who know that they will be treated as bargaining chips or even swept out after a season or two, but still have the same mentality as players who are inviting invitations from Real Madrid. Simply put, the stage is different. Anyone knows that standing at the top of the pyramid is the easiest to fall down, but they will still climb up regardless of their own life, because it symbolizes the peak.
Therefore, even Lin Sen can't do anything to say no to Real Madrid. However, it's not easy to say it, so how easy is it to nod?
Lin Sen was born at Atletico Madrid, which is well known. Although his relationship with Atletico Madrid was not good because of the way he left that year, his attitude towards Real Madrid was somewhat affected. Of course, this was just an impact. Lin Sen really frowned at Real Madrid. After all, it still comes down to the almost endless entanglement of his players during his tenure as Manchester City head coach. Coupled with the unhappiness last season, even if you smile, you don’t play like this.
Even if he takes a step back, Lin Sen personally doesn't mind, but he must also consider the feelings of a group, which is Manchester City fans.
Lin Sen never conceals himself as a very realistic person. When it comes to attitudes to fans, Lin Sen has always been very rational. Within the scope of permission, he never refuses any opportunity to get closer to fans. For example, in addition to training, he even asked his players to sign and take photos of fans watching on the training ground. However, he never "please" the fans. Lin Sen does not deny that support from the stands can become the twelfth player of the team, but the one who decides to play is the eleventh person on the court.
If there are things that can be done, there are things that cannot be done.
In the past few seasons, Manchester City fans have almost touched him on the altar. This is of course because Lin Sen has brought them countless joys. In the new season, Manchester City also needs a coach. All Manchester City fans hope that Lin Sen will take over this Manchester City team. Although Lin Sen has long made it clear that he will not return to the Manchester City coach position, if Lin Sen continues to stick to his decision, it will not be a problem. However, if Lin Sen switches to Real Madrid at this time, it would be slap them in the face.
You know, in recent seasons, in addition to their arch rivals Manchester United, Real Madrid has been the club that Manchester City fans hate the most. Not only have they poached their best players, but now, they actually want to poach their best coaches?
"I can't give you an answer right away, Jorge." Lin Sen said slowly after being silent for a long time.
"Of course." Seeing that Lin Sen did not refuse immediately, Mendes seemed to see hope, and he immediately said, "This is a big decision."
Seeing Mendes' appearance, Lin Sen, who knew his thoughts, smiled and poured a basin of cold water on him, "Don't be excited first. Although I need to consider it, it is actually unlikely to go."
"Why?" Mendes was stunned, "Are you going to continue to be a manager at Manchester City?"
"No." Linson shook his head, "I have submitted my resignation to Carl, he has approved it. I will leave next season."
"Then..." Mendes looked at Lin Sen with confusion.
"Simply put, it's not very suitable." Lin Sen shrugged and said.
"Not very suitable?" Mendes smiled bitterly, "This is not like you, Lin."
"There are always some things you can't avoid," Lin Sen said, "Jorge, do you dare to operate Ronaldo to Manchester City?"
"If possible, why not?" Mendes said with confidence, but just after he finished speaking, even he thought it was too ridiculous and couldn't help laughing.
"I should be more than the candidate for Real Madrid." Lin Sen smiled and said, "Who else? Klopp? Or, Zidane?"
"Believe me, you are the first candidate." Mendes did not deny Lin Sen's statement, but said, "I believe Real Madrid will not..."
At this point, Mendes' voice suddenly stopped because a possibility suddenly flashed through his mind, and then the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
So he immediately sat up straight, stared at Lin Sen with a very strange look, and then asked in a somewhat uncertain tone: "I said, you didn't want to... deliberately drag Real Madrid, right?"

On May 23, Wembley Stadium.
As a League Two team, there are not many opportunities to play in one of the largest stadiums in England. Although the FA Cup and League Cup are one of the opportunities, they are too slim. In addition to these two events, there is another opportunity to allow the League Two teams to come to this stadium, that is, to upgrade the final of the play-offs.
Last season, Burton lost to Welterwood at the stadium by 0-1, and this season, they have directly upgraded as the UEFA Champions League champions and the two teams on this stadium were replaced by Cambridge United and Southern Allianz.
Unlike the last time he had to wear sunglasses and appeared in Abe Stadium in a low-key manner, this time, Lin Sen appeared in the stands very naturally, without caring about the eyes of others. The reason for his appearance here today is very simple, purely because the young man standing by the side of the court was once his assistant.
Not only Lin Sen, Boya and Cindrila also appeared in the stands together.
BBC5, which was broadcast live in this game, did not arrange well-known commentators such as Martin Taylor to explain the game, but this does not mean that other commentators will let go of the figure in the stands. "...In the stands, we saw Lin's figure. It seems that Cambridge United has an additional supporter in this game, hoping that he can bring good luck to Tang."
Tang Hua on the stadium naturally knew that Lin Sen appeared in the stands in this game. There were not many games that could be broadcast live across the country. Excluding the cup matches that were exposed to the big teams, this game may be the only one.
Tang Hua had already explained everything he thought he should explain, and then stood on the sidelines with a little uneasy, waiting for the end of a series of procedures before the game and the beginning of the game.
Lin Sen's eyes in the stands were mostly on Tang Hua, and sometimes turned to another figure named Phil Brown who was standing not far from Tang Hua.
As an opponent in this game, he was once the assistant of a well-known coach. This should be the biggest common point between Phil Brown and Tang Hua. Phil Brown, who once assisted Allardyce, started his coaching career in a flat manner. After ending his player career, he worked as an assistant coach at Blackpool for three years, and then got the opportunity to assist Allardyce, and soon ushered in a turning point in his coaching career: after only one season as the head coach of the Derby, he received an invitation from Hul City, who first led the team to successfully stay in the Championship, and then defeated Bristol City in the play-offs in the subsequent season, helping the team to advance to the Premier League historically. In his first Premier League season, Phil Brown was also excellent in his work, and he even won the best coach in the Premier League in September that season.
If the story can continue to develop in this trend, perhaps Phil Brown could become a good local coach in England. However, the story does not develop in this way. After having to leave Hoole City due to poor performance, Brown's team's level has declined year by year. First, Preston in the Championship, and then, he went to the English Second Division...
Of course, even Brown was so down and out, Tang Hua still did not have the qualifications and rights to mock the other party.
Coaching is not a profession that pays special attention to coming first and coming later, but the difference between seeing more and seeing less is still obvious.
In Lin Sen's eyes, although Tang Hua's emotions were not too nervous at this time, he still had a hint of unconcealed uneasiness. On the other hand, Phil Brown was always calm.
In terms of importance, this game is equal to both sides, and unequal is the ability of both sides to bear this game. This is the first final of Tang Hua's coaching career, but for Phil Brown, no matter how important it is, it is still just a play-off in the English League Two.
After the game started, Brown's team quickly took the initiative. Of course, this does not mean that Southern Allianz is stronger than Cambridge United. It is just because the two sides play differently. Southern Allianz is not an offensive team, but compared with Cambridge United, their playing style is still much more open. One team attacks and the other team defends, obviously this will be the tone of this game.
"Lin, do you think Tang can win today?" Just as Lin Sen turned his eyes to the field, a slightly nervous voice came from beside him.
