Chapter 14 Teaching Assistant

"Your interview is really easy to wait." As soon as I saw Lin Sen, Rhode complained half-jokingly.

Before Lin Sen signed with Malaga, Rhodes booked this visit. He originally thought he would not wait for a long time because he was sure that Malaga would sign Lin Sen soon, but what he didn't expect was that due to the need for transfer, the signing was delayed until a few days ago before it was officially announced to the public, nearly two weeks later than Rhodes expected. In Rhodes' words, it was just that the flowers had to fade.

"Don't worry, it's still within the shelf life." Lin Sen also joked. He is now the head coach of Malaga, and he needs to comply with some of the club's regulations when accepting an interview. However, for this interview, Malaga still gave the green light. Obviously, they also hope that their coach can have a good relationship with the media. Although Malaga is not a big club, its image is not big.

For reporters, it is good to have little restrictions on the scope of the problem, and even some ** questions can be asked, but it doesn't matter whether the parties are willing to answer or not. That's another matter. Due to the previous meeting, the conversation between Lin Sen and Rod was extremely relaxed.

From when Lin Sen came to Spain, why did he become a team doctor, and why did he suddenly become Atletico Madrid's head coach... Rhodes was not polite at all. The questions were varied. He didn't even let go of the question of whether Lin Sen had a girlfriend. Lin Sen had nothing to hide, and answered them truthfully. Soon, the question came to Malaga.

"There has always been a rumor outside that Malaga's transfer right is in your hands. Is this true?" Rhode said calmly, as if this problem is as common as those almost gossiped questions before.

"Not all." Lin Sen glanced at Rhode and smiled, "But one thing is certain that all the players introduced by Malaga are the players I need."

Hearing Lin Sen's answer, Rhode's heart moved: "So, I can understand that you were at least involved in the transfer in Malaga?"

"It can be understood so." Lin Sen nodded.

He knew what Rhodes meant. The head coach of La Liga has always been responsible for cooking, not for buying groceries, or for participating in groceries. Whether it is full responsibility or not, at least it is a special case in La Liga.

"This is part of the contract, too?"

"No. No." Lin Sen shook his head this time, then mocked himself, "You know, Malaga is not rich."

Not rich? Rhode couldn't help but smile. Is it better to be poor?

"As far as I know, Malaga has introduced nine players. Except for Wellington who played for Malaga last season, the rest are all new faces. Moreover, among these new faces, except Gabi, the other seven players are basically under the age of 20, and the youngest Isco is even less than seventeen years old. Is this kind of signing idea? Or yours?"

“All the signing programs are a common decision between me and the club, and of course, I don’t deny that most of them are my decisions.”

"So, will all these young players join the first team immediately? Or will they join the first team selectively?"

"All signings belong to the first team plan." Lin Sen's answer was very yes.

"Someone thinks you're too risky about using young people?" Rhode said with his head raised.

"Someone?" Lin Sen seemed to smile as if facing Rhode's gaze.

"Well, okay, I feel that way too." Rhode was a little embarrassed, but he still expressed his thoughts frankly.

In fact, it is not someone, but almost most people think that Malaga's current signing ideas are too ideal. You should know that they are no longer playing in the League B in the new season, but in the League A. If the League B is still a trial field, then the League A is a killing field. The two are almost two different concepts. At this time, Malaga plans to use young people to conquer the world, which is undoubtedly too naive.

"Before I answer the question, I will ask you a question first. How do you think Cork's performance last season?" Lin Sen asked with a smile.

Cork?

Rod was stunned for a moment, but soon, his professional reaction appeared in his mind. The rating of the youngest young player who broke the record of Atletico Madrid's history last season was 6.2 points. In several games Linson coached Atletico Madrid, Linson promoted three young players, including Cork. The youngest Cork had the lowest score, and the highest was Camacho, reaching an average score of 7.1, and even De Gea had 6.5 points.

However, the reason why Cork scored so low was that he had a big hindrance against the own goal in that game. In that game, Cork was rated as the worst in the game and only scored 4 points. That is the time. If it weren't for that game, Cork actually scored an average score of nearly 7 points in other games.

Although there are not many games, this is definitely not a bad score.

Seeing Rhode's expression, Lin Sen knew that Rhode understood what he meant.

"I don't know what kind of adventure they mean. If they are worried that young people are too young and their bodies cannot adapt to the game, then I don't deny the view that adventure is, but La Liga has never been a league that focuses on physical confrontation, and we must all admit that young people are stronger than before. If they are worried that young people will affect the team's record, then what I want to say is that I am willing to bear this risk, because I believe in their abilities, and Malaga needs to bear it, because Malaga has just returned to La Liga. People should pay more attention to what they can do, rather than what they can't do. Age is just a number, and as long as it is used properly, it should not become a shackle."

Rhodes nodded. La Liga is one of the most mainstream leagues in Europe today with a relatively low level of physical confrontation. It is based on this atmosphere that a large number of organizational midfielders have been created. To be honest, La Liga is a breeding ground for talented teenagers, especially offensive geniuses. Lin Sen's statement may still be too subjective and one-sided, but it is not without basis. At least, it is already an answer.

"Okay, you convinced me. However, this cannot convince those people outside." Rhode said with a wry smile.

"Of course. convince them that they must be on the court."

"So, Malaga will be a youth guard in the new season? I'm curious what Malaga's goal will be in the new season?"

"European arena." Lin Sen's voice was very plain, but it made Rhode's eyes widen in an instant.

"European stadium?"

Just rely on these main players in the second division to mix a group of young people?

Lin Sen convinced him, but if this group of young people wanted to go against the will of the first season, then Rhodes would not believe it if he was beaten to death. La Liga is a breeding ground for geniuses, so it must be guaranteed that geniuses are counted. Who can guarantee that these young people in Malaga are all geniuses?

"Do you agree with this goal?" Rhodes subconsciously believed that this was the goal set by Malaga for Linson.

“This is what I proposed.”

Why???

When he heard Lin Sen's words, Rhode could not help but look at the young coach in front of him with another perspective. He was optimistic about Lin Sen, but even he himself didn't understand why Lin Sen dared to set his goal so high.

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

Not only Rhode wants to know what it is, but Tapiya also wants to know what it is for Linsen.

After Muniz left Malaga, he originally thought that his position as the coach was a sure win, but he did not expect that a so-called former Atletico Madrid head coach came out in the middle. But this is not a problem. Since Tapia can accept that he returned to the youth team of the same team after being driven away from the first team head coach, he can accept that a position that he did not really get to his hands and replace it with someone else. Therefore, he accepted the club's decision to let him serve as an assistant coach.

However, not minding obviously does not mean that you agree completely.

Although Malaga has just officially announced the signing of Linsen, Tapia knows that as early as the end of May, Linsen actually reached an agreement with Malaga, and Malaga's transfer work should have begun at that time. This means that in less than half a month today, Malaga has introduced nine players, which can almost be said to have basically completed the lineup replacement for next season. With the coaching staff on vacation, such efficient signing work, if there is no head coach's participation, whoever believes it, Tapia does not believe it anyway.

Tapia is positive about Malaga's efficiency. Fans always like to appear Mr. X on the last day of the transfer period, but for any coach, this is not a good thing. Because completing the lineup replacement as soon as possible means that the team can prepare for next season as soon as possible. This is commendable for a team that has just been promoted. However, Tapia cannot ignore the quality of Malaga's signings.

It is not surprising that Malaga's signings can only focus more on the second division, but what surprised Tapia was that although Malaga's gaze was not high this time, it was far away. Only half of the nine new players, except Wellington, are Espanyols, which is rare in Spain's newly promoted teams, not to mention that three are sign-free.

Tapia does not think that this is the credit of the scouts. It is not that it is belittled by Malaga's scouts, but that it is just outside the scope. Every time Malaga announces a signing, Tapia will immediately search for relevant information, but in addition to the few signings from Spain, whether it is Reus or Lewandowski, Tapia gets very simple, so simple that there are only a few general season data.

Tapia originally thought that many of them might be added to the second team, but Aguilar told him: all the signings are first-team signings, and several of them were even introduced by the standards of the main force.
