Chapter 10 New aid
"I'm very happy to be reunited with Lin in Malaga. He is the coach I respect very much..."
“Malaga is my hometown, and it is my wish to play for my hometown team…”
“I’m very happy to join Malaga, a beautiful city, and I hope my career will usher in a new beginning…”
In an interview, three new players, three speeches, and three ideas. Cork came to Malaga and Linson was the main reason. Isco came to Malaga and his hometown was an important factor. Alba came to Malaga and his chance was the only reason.
Just the day before Linson was about to return to Spain, Malaga's official website announced three transfers in one go. Cork from Atletico Madrid, Isco and Alaba from Valencia, completed the physical examination and successfully joined. Of course, since the transfer market has not officially started, the relevant written procedures still need to be waited. However, the signing of the three young people, let alone in European football, did not cause much splash even in Spanish football. There are countless such transfers every season, so many that sometimes even only a few words can be found on the official website. In addition, the European football feast of the European Cup is about to open, people's attention is even more distracted.
Compared with the arrival of the three young people, another news officially announced by the Malaga official website is undoubtedly more eye-catching: former Atletico Madrid coach Lin Sen signed with Malaga to become Malaga's new coach.
In addition to the contract period, Malaga did not reveal any contract details, which of course also included details on the transfer rights. But this did not prevent the media from making various speculations. The former Atletico Madrid head coach's name seemed to be intimidating, and it seemed that he was condescending to coach Malaga, but in fact, everyone knew what the situation was. However, compared with Atletico Madrid, Lin Sen's current situation has undoubtedly improved a lot. At least, no reporter finally remembered his former career.
Although some of the fans of Malaga expressed dissatisfaction with Lin Sen's acquisition, they generally held a reservation. They knew that Lin Sen had coached Atletico Madrid, and their overall record was not satisfactory. There was no coaching concept for the time being. It was a barely considered a coaching style. As for the coaching style, when at Atletico Madrid, Lin Sen used 442 in the first few games, and played 423 in the next few games. Sometimes it seemed very conservative, but sometimes it seemed imaginative. In addition, only a few games and the situation in the game changed, the style became even more unpredictable.
Compared with doubts about Linson's coaching ability, Malaga fans are obviously more concerned about the movement in the transfer market. Baja and Barlista's push onto the market has caused dissatisfaction among many fans. Although so far this is only limited to the rumoral stage for them, but once the proud frontcourt trident of last season, Sitargo's departure has made them angry at the club's inaction. Now, they still want to drive away the remaining two? It is said that they have begun to denounce Livermore to destroy the bridge across the river. The arrival of the three young people obviously cannot calm their dissatisfaction.
For Livermore, who accidentally took the blame, Lin Sen, who is still far away in China, can only express deep sympathy for the time being.
As soon as the news that Lin Sen coached Malaga was announced, several Atletico players publicly wish Lin Sen's best luck in the new team, including Aguero and Mota, who had signed the contract. Both of them had Lin Sen's mobile phone numbers. Although they did not call, they both sent text messages. However, not everyone had this idea.
Fernando Colomel is one of them.
Lin Sen didn't know him, but he knew Lin Sen. Because Lin Sen's fax that had been framed into an inspirational artifact was made by him.
Since entering the 21st century, in Spain, only one team has truly changed the pattern of La Liga championship duo. This team is Valencia, who twice won two championships from Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 201/02 and 203/04 seasons. They even entered the Champions League final twice in a row, which symbolized the peak of European football at the beginning of the new century. Although they ended in failures both times, Valencia's popularity at that time can be seen. Of course, today is different from the past. Like many football clubs, the club's financial crisis has ruined this rising team.
Although Colomel has not experienced the glory of Valencia back then, he is a complete believer of Valencia. Valencia's senior management has changed frequently in the past two seasons. Last season, head coach Flores drove away General Manager Caboni with his outstanding coaching results. He became Valencia's sports manager at that time. As a result, Flores was dismissed halfway through this season, Valencia's chairman has also changed again and again. Villalonga just made a fuss to take over the club from former chairman Soler, but now the two have conflicts over how to resolve the club's financial crisis. Once the two sides cannot reach an agreement on this point, they have not sold their equity to Soler, who has not yet sold their equity to Soler, who is Villalonga, which may be replaced again at any time.
The civil strife at the top leaders made Colomel feel very bad. Lin Sen's coaching application was submitted at that time, and the result can be imagined.
The fax that anyone would think was a shame was actually just a casual work in Colomel's opinion at that time. The reason was very simple. He really thought that Lin Sen was just a team doctor, or that he was not qualified to be a head coach at all, although he was indeed the former head coach of Atletico Madrid.
Now, Malaga announced the signing of Linson, and then announced the signing of two young men from him. Although one in front and one in the back, the two were announced almost the same day, which made Colomel feel like he was being fooled.
This feeling made Colomel a little annoyed, but he couldn't do anything about it.
As it turns out, Malaga's actions are indeed necessary, because Colomel himself believes that if he knew in advance that the head coach hired by Malaga was the Linsen who was rejected by himself as a team doctor, he would probably not send the two young men to Malaga, at least it would not be possible to let go so easily, not to mention that he gave the other party a discount for Alaba's transfer.
Thinking of this, Colomel felt itchy.
--------------
On June 5, Lin Sen and Dina returned to Spain. After getting off the plane, they said goodbye. Dina naturally returned to her home in Madrid. Lin Sen took the train back to Malaga that day. When he left Spain, he entrusted a real estate agency to help him find a house. Now there is a result. He is planning to go and see it tomorrow. Of course, he is still just renting it, not buying it.
Lin Sen naturally knew the transfer process of Malaga. He dragged his signing news until the first phase of the signing was announced. It was his intention. Although he was a little sorry for Rhodes, there was nothing he could do.
Alba 150,000.
Cork 200,000.
Isco is free to rent.
The three transactions in the first phase cost Malaga 350,000. On the other hand, news has been heard from Switzerland that Grasshoppers accepted Malaga's offer for Brazilian defender Wellington who loaned to the team last season. The transaction has also entered the personal negotiation stage and the transaction may be completed at any time. In this way, the million-dollar budget has gone most of the time. Linsen had to turn his attention to Baja and Balista, who are still on the transfer market.
It is easy to buy people and it is difficult to sell people.
Lin Sen originally thought that the two people who were rumored to be rumored should get a quote soon after they were pushed into the transfer market, but the fact is that more than a week has passed. Regarding the quotes between the two, there are many people asking for the price. There are only one who really put forward the offer: Santander Athletics, which quoted 500,000 yuan to Barrista.
Yes, it's only half a million, and it's fair and reasonable.
Although it is the core of Malaga's offensive last season, Barista still cannot change one fatal point: age.
Balista, who is nearly thirty-three years old, now it can become a disposable product at any time. Maybe one day I will say goodbye to the green field. It is precisely because of this that Livermore has been struggling. With Balista's role, he is definitely worth more than 500,000, but from the value of the transfer, he is indeed not worth much. For this reason, Livermore has not communicated with Linsen whether he asked Balista to stay, but Linsen made it clear that Balista could stay, as long as he accepted a salary cut and renewal.
As soon as he heard this, Livermore knew that there was nothing to say. With the highest annual salary of 1.2 million yuan in the team, Barlista, who only had one year left in the contract, would accept a salary cut? What would you do if you did? Anyway, Livermore would not do it.
Livermore tried to make Santander Athletic increase the price, but the other party's reply was very straightforward: If it weren't for head coach Muniz calling for someone, Santander Athletic wouldn't like a 33-year-old striker.
Finally, the helpless Livermore nodded to the transfer yesterday.
Balista, who is still on vacation, has no souvenirs. He left a relegation team, joined a team that can play in the League Cup, or defected to his mentor, which doesn't need to be considered at all.
For 500,000, Barista transferred to Santander Athletics.
Livermore, who was originally thinking about whether he could win Lewandowski's budget with only more than 300,000 yuan, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he could only breathe a sigh of relief, because the second phase of the signing was not just Lewandowski's goal. During the last call with Lin Sen, Livermore actually avoided a little intentionally or unintentionally, that is, the signings from the back line.
Compared with all the smooth forward signings and midfield signings that only have subjective reasons, the problem of defensive signings is entirely due to an objective reason that makes Livermore helpless.
That is, money!
