On July 15, Lin Sen arrived at the training ground early.

It is actually the training ground, but it is actually the home court of Malaga's new season - the Rose Garden Stadium. This is also a point that Malaga makes Linson helpless. Looking at the entire La Liga, Malaga does not have its own independent training base, Malaga is also a major feature. In addition to the Rose Garden, Malaga also has a backup training ground - the Malaga City Stadium. Malaga's training will only be transferred there when the Rose Garden needs maintenance. It is worth mentioning that even the Rose Garden is not the property of the Malaga Club. The stadium belongs to the municipal government, the Malaga Parliament and the Andalusian Management Council. Malaga Club can only be considered rented. Therefore, having its own stadium has always been the wish of Malaga Club, although this wish seems very far away at the moment.

Today is the team's gathering day for the new season, and the meeting place is naturally impossible to be set up in the shabby city stadium.

Following Lin Sen to the Rose Garden was Tapia. When he saw Lin Sen standing at the entrance of the stadium, he was a little surprised because he was the famous Mr. Zao Zao. In his coaching career over the past twenty years, he has maintained a rule, that is, half an hour earlier than the training time. Although it is impossible to say that it has never been exceptional, it has indeed become a habit of him. There are not many people who have been earlier than him.

The two of them greeted him briefly, and Tapia went to prepare some things they needed to use today. When he came out, Lin Sen was still standing at the entrance. Tapia was stunned for a moment, but immediately thought of something. Sure enough, as the scheduled time of the gathering approached, more and more people came to the stadium, and Malaga's new head coach stood at the entrance, greeting everyone one by one.

Is there a better way to meet? Tapia felt a little excited. He didn't want to speculate on how the players reacted to Lin Sen's actions, but it was obvious that Lin Sen had sent a signal to his players in this way: He is not a high-ranking head coach.

The first player to come to the stadium was last season's main goalkeeper Godia. The Basques obviously didn't expect Lin Sen to stand there and greet him on their own initiative. They were a little flattered. Following Godia is the most familiar player in the team - Cork. The young man seemed particularly happy when he saw Lin Sen, and Lin Sen smiled and patted his shoulder.

Then, Lewandowski, with a calm face, Venezuelan striker Ronton with an excited face, Isco, a slightly nervous look, Games, and a steady Gabi... The two Germans Reus and Gundogan arrived at the same time, obviously they had greeted each other, while the two Italians Ranokia and Bonucci were one in front and one behind.

Lin Sen has been opening a plug-in, so naturally no one can hide his emotions from him. In Tapia's opinion, Lin Sen obviously wants to take this excellent opportunity to let the team members know themselves, but in fact, what Lin Sen got is far more than just knowing.

Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian, German, Italian... Then, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, all the players only know that when they first met their head coach, their head coach greeted and communicated with them in the language they were most familiar with. For the Spanish and Portuguese, Linsen's move may be ordinary, but for others who do not understand these two languages, especially those newcomers, no matter how much welcome and enthusiasm is, it is not as good as those ordinary words.

No, just because I can understand.

When the last player who arrived at the stadium Kareyan greeted Lin Sen, Lin Sen raised his hand and looked at his watch. There were nearly ten minutes left before the scheduled gathering time.

Lin Sen's mood suddenly improved.

This is a really good start.

The atmosphere in the dressing room in the Rose Garden is now weird.

On one side are the players who played in Malaga last season. They are very familiar with each other and are talking about the European Cup and the holidays. Even the new head coach who just met is one of the topics, in short, they are talking and laughing. But on the other side, the new players are obviously much quieter. Even the players from the same country choose to remain silent at this time, and they change their jerseys and sneakers...

Arno and Garmes, the team's chief and deputy captains, were interested in ease the atmosphere, but they had no language at all, so they had to give up and think that after a while, they would naturally get better when they arrived on the football field. After all, for everyone here, football is the best common language.

And on the other side of the court.

Lin Sen, who just had a simple "close contact" with all the players of the team, must first thank Malaga for not being a big team. Otherwise, the European Cup has just ended, he will inevitably face the problem of personnel disorganization. Secondly, he also has to thank Livermore for his efforts, so that he can see the team he wants to appear in front of him on the training day, and there is no need to face the embarrassment of calling out players he does not need to face.

The Malaga first team currently has 21 players, including two goalkeepers, eight defenders, nine midfielders and two forwards. If possible, Lin Sen really wants to let this team that belongs entirely to him train today in the way he wants, but everyone knows that the holiday has just ended, and in a short period of time, physical fitness will be the most important topic.

Before handing over the team to physical coach Ruiz, Linsen appeared in front of the team for the first time as the team's head coach. Given that Tapia had repeatedly explained that he must not be as short as his speech at the coaching meeting, Linsen decided to say a few more words, so he threw out the "epistemology" that many people talked about after he became a recognized top coach in Europe a few years later.

"My name is Lin Sen, your head coach in the new season. I have just met you. Maybe many of you think we have known each other, but to be honest, I don't think so. This place is different from where I just stood. Because it is inside the stadium, and there is outside the stadium. We do know each other there. But here, I think I know you more, not that I am arrogant. In the past month, I have been studying you almost all my time. And most of you are on vacation. So, before the start of the season, I hope everyone can do me a favor, that is, to know me as much as possible here. Of course, what I want to say in the end is that I am very happy to know everyone, and I hope everyone will be happy to know me."

Speech is over.

Tapia missed to see the Shengjing above the team's head in Lin Sen's eyes, but he knew that Lin Sen's words were destined to be unable to easily forget them.

The team soon took the lead by Ruiz to participate in the required test for returning to the team before the season - the physical fitness test. Miguel, who was in charge of the equipment, had already sent someone to prepare all the equipment needed. Linsen did not follow the team, but was interviewed by Barcasella with Tapia. Today is the first day of the team's training camp. Without the European Cup, the media's eyes finally slowly returned to their respective leagues.

Speaking of this, Lin Sen realized that there were not many fans visiting today. Although less than half an hour had passed, the fans in the stands were sparse, not to mention the slogans, and even shouting. In fact, Lin Sen didn't know that since the Malaga training venue was in the Rose Garden, ordinary fans could not enter. Only fans holding the team's season tickets could enter with their tickets. At this time, naturally, there would be no more fans.

The media that came to interview were basically local media, so the interview was carried out steadily and calmly. Lin Sen, who had experienced several tit-for-tat competitions at Atletico Madrid, responded to it just like a kindergarten aunt dealing with children. He returned home in two or three seconds. Needless to say, in their reports the next day, a prosperous Malaga had already walked on the bright road under the leadership of a young and promising coach.

After the interview, it was Lin Sen's turn to grab Barkasse this time and asked how the warm-up match was arranged before the season. According to Lin Sen's previous training plan, before the start of the season, Malaga had to play at least four to five warm-up matches before the team could barely reach the level of "let the players know him" in his eyes.

Barkasse said that the opponent's goals in the first three games have basically been determined. The first opponent is the already determined Malaga B team, which basically does not need to be arranged. It is purely a friendly match within the team, and it will take three days later. As for the second and third opponents, they are still waiting for the opponent's reply.

Lin Sen asked which two teams it was. Barkasse didn't seem to want to tell him before things were confirmed, and only said that they were two strong teams. It was not until Lin Sen was forced to extinguish the names of the two teams.

Both teams are from Italy, and they happen to be the two most competitive teams in Serie A: Inter Milan and Roma.

Lin Sen was stunned when he heard this, but only another name flashed through his mind.

If Inter Milan really accepts the invitation to Málaga, then that means Linson will meet one of the best football coaches in the world for the first time on the court.

Jose Mourinho!
