Chapter 60
"I'm sorry, Lin."
On the other side of the phone, Mubarak's tone was a little apologized, "It's really beyond my expectations for this, but we have no choice. I hope this incident has not had much impact on you."
"It has nothing to do with you, no need to say that." Lin Sen said, his voice a little low.
Mubarak's apology is actually unnecessary. As he said, it is a choice without any choice, because it has come to this point, and it is impossible for Manchester City to continue to remain silent. Requesting fifa to intervene is the most eased way of dealing with it. However, even if it is eased, the impact at this time is destined to be inevitable.
Mubarak said that he hoped it would not have much impact on Lin Sen. Obviously, he already knew that there must be an impact, but he did not think about how big this impact would be for Lin Sen.
Shortly after the news came out, Lin Sen notified Mendes to temporarily stop contract negotiations with Real Madrid.
Like Mubarak, Linsen had no choice.
This is no longer the inside story of the streets, but the fact that it is approaching the truth. Although the media has not yet linked him to this matter, this cannot change the role he plays in this matter, that is, the person in charge. Bale can be said to be a transfer from him to Real Madrid. Although the transfer process is not difficult to prove that Lin Sen has nothing to do with this so-called inside story.
Lin Sen knew that the reason why Mubarak called him to "explain" this matter was mostly because he was worried that he would think too much.
After all, the whole of Europe now knows that he is very likely to join Real Madrid. At this time, Manchester City's statement can easily make people associate these two things, even a little dark-hearted. It is not impossible that the mastermind behind this matter is related to Manchester City, and the purpose is to prevent Lin Sen from going to Madrid. Otherwise, how can you explain that this matter is not exposed sooner or later, but it is exposed at this time? It is a bit coincidental in time. Because no matter how you look at it, the exposure of Bale's transfer inside story seems to have a great impact for Manchester City, but it is actually very slim.
With the development of professional football, order and rules have long been improved. But like any industry, there are still some unknown insider and unspoken rules. For institutions that maintain this order and formulate these rules, whether they want to see it or not, they have to admit that these things exist, and it may not necessarily be true that they really don’t know it. Sometimes they just turn a blind eye.
Manchester City made this incident aside. Of course, it was pointed directly at Real Madrid on the surface, but in fact, everyone knew that this matter would probably end up being left alone. Why? Because there is still a lack of evidence, just a tape and a photo is far from enough! Not to mention that Chipman has long been not a Real Madrid employee.
So, why did this happen, except it was really accidental. It seemed that the reason had gone back.
It is natural that Lin Sen could not be unclear about the story, but at this time, he no longer wanted to think about so much. He had made this decision enough and he didn't want to make himself even more trouble. At this time, he would rather believe it. Mubarak's call was just a friend, not as the chairman of Manchester City.
Perhaps for Mubarak, this matter is very*. But for Lin Sen, who is in charge, this matter may not even be questioned by one or two points. Lin Sen has had too many questions about Bale's transfer, and this matter is just like a needle, which completely connects everything that happened last summer in his mind.
There is no doubt that Lin Sen had a kind of fooled anger at this time, but more so, he was just helpless.
It is not difficult to confirm this matter. Just last night, Lin Sen had secretly called a Real Madrid player, and this person was the person involved, Gareth Bale.
Facing Lin Sen’s problem, Bell did not admit it, but did not deny it.
So Lin Sen knew the answer.
Since Real Madrid can sign Figo from his arch rival Barcelona, it is impossible for them to have any omissions in the transfer such as the acquisition of Bale from Manchester City. The current situation can be regarded as the worst situation. Lin Sen, who has known the tricks for a long time, cannot question Real Madrid at this time, and it is even more impossible to guess whether Manchester City intends to reveal this matter at this time to ruin his "good thing", because these are unnecessary.
After the call with Mubarak, Linsen first called Boya and then dialed the phone to Portugal.
----------------
Lin Sen gave up signing with Real Madrid.
When Mendes got the news from Linson, he had no choice.
Admittedly, if Lin Sen can take over Real Madrid, it will be better news for him. As his biggest patron, Real Madrid has the biggest card under his command, C Ronaldo. As a player, both on and off the court, C Ronaldo doesn't need Mendes to worry about anything, but one thing is that Mendes cannot control, that is, C Ronaldo's age.
Anyone will gradually grow old, especially football players. Real Madrid has never been a club that "respected the elderly and loved the young". Not to mention it far, if even Raul can't live in Real Madrid, then what else can make Mendes think that Cristiano Ronaldo can end his career in Real Madrid?
Ronaldo, born in 1985, is already 30 years old this year. For any player, this is a watershed age. It is also a blessing that Ronaldo's competitive state has been excellent. Otherwise, at this age, he has no capital to negotiate terms with Real Madrid. Ronaldo's current contract with Real Madrid was signed two years ago, and there is still three years before the contract expires. In other words, if Ronaldo fulfills this contract, he is already 33 years old, an age that will not be surprising if he retires.
Therefore, Ronaldo is not worried about his contract. He is more concerned about his position in Real Madrid. Last season, Real Madrid spent a huge amount of money to introduce Bale from Manchester City. To put it nicely, Real Madrid is creating a "two million" flying together, but in fact, he knows in his heart that Real Madrid is looking for a "replacer" for him.
That's right, with his beautiful data and state, Ronaldo is still the top player in Real Madrid now, but what about next season? What about next season? Mendes cannot not make plans for this.
And Lin Sen should have become an ideal plan.
But now, with everything ready, Lin Sen chose to give up, and Mendes couldn't even "save" it.
Yes, Lin Sen can attribute all the unhappiness between him and Real Madrid in the transfer market to their own positions, and then call accepting Real Madrid's invitation a professional decision. But that was before Bale's transfer inside story was exposed. If Lin Sen still accepted Real Madrid's invitation now, then Lin Sen would be like adding fuel to the fire on this matter.
Not everyone will think about problems from the perspective of others. They will only believe what they see and hear, that is, Bale was sent to Real Madrid by Linsen, and now, Linsen has gone to Real Madrid by himself.
So, what kind of role did Lin Sen play at Manchester City in the past year?
Mendes dared not imagine any guesses.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When he returned to his home in Manchester, Boya was not at home. Linson poured himself a glass of water and sat in a daze on the sofa in the living room.
Giving up signing with Real Madrid is an easy decision, only a call is required, but after the decision, it also means that everything returns to the starting point.
Manchester City's manager position is still free, but Lin Sen obviously cannot go back. Although Mubarak had hinted in the previous phone call that he could go back, even the head coach position was waiting for him because the contact between Manchester City and Ancelotti was not smooth. So, waiting for invitations from other clubs? This seems to be the only option.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Lin Sen gives a signal of his comeback, he doesn't need to worry about not having a job opportunity. Real Madrid is of course the best choice, but not the only choice. In the five major European leagues, although there are not many clubs with empty coach positions at present, there are still many giants with the possibility of changing coaches.
Excluding Lin Sen's willingness, Italy's Milan doubles, Bundesliga Dortmund has not announced a new coach so far, and even Bayern Munich is not without the possibility of changing coaches. In the Premier League, Liverpool, which has poor performance this season, is the first to be hit...
Just as Lin Sen was thinking deeply, the sound of the key opening the door came from the door. Soon, a slim figure pushed the door open and entered.
When Boya saw Lin Sen in the living room, he was stunned for a moment and was a little surprised: "When did you come back?"
"Just now." Lin Sen stood up from the sofa, looked at Boya who was also a little dusty, and poured her a glass of water, "What are you doing?"
"I went to Cambridge." Boya took the water and replied casually. He ignored Lin Sen's image and drank it all in one go, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.
"Cambridge?" Lin Sen took the bag from Boya's hand and put it aside, asking, "Is it related to Cambridge Union?"
Boya said lightly, "After all, next season is a Class A team, the requirements are different, and some things need to be put on the agenda. I held a meeting today to discuss the matter of increasing investment."
After saying that, Boya suddenly hugged Lin Sen.
"What's wrong?" Lin Sen, who had just heard Boya's words, was stunned for a moment, hugged the other party naturally, and said softly.
"It's nothing. I miss you anymore." Boya whispered softly by leaning his head against Lin Sen's shoulder.
"Is that right?" Lin Sen smirked, "Tell you something. A few days ago, my mother kept urging her to have a grandson. You said, are we..."
"We are not already..." Hearing Lin Sen's words, Boya pushed Lin Sen away and stood up straight. He was about to say something, but when he first touched Lin Sen's eyes, he knew that Lin Sen was intentionally teasing him, so he patted the other party's chest and said with some amusement, "You still have the heart to joke now."
"Isn't the sky not falling yet?" Lin Sen smiled, and then said a little apologetically, "But I'm going to feel wronged again." (To be continued)
