Chapter 26 The Curtain

When Barkasse, who was also a press officer, appeared in front of Lin Sen with a newspaper, Lin Sen already knew what Barkasse wanted to say.

He has read the newspaper, and he has also seen Angel Gonzalez's "provocative" remarks. Alan Hansen did say that back then, and it was said on the BBC show. That year, Manchester United won the double championship, and his words became the best embellishment for the birth of Manchester United's 92 Golden Generation. Manchester United fans even posted slogans in the stands to reproduce Alan Hansen's words, of course, in a teasing tone.

Angel Gonzalez obviously believes that Lin Sen is not qualified to be compared with Ferguson. There is no problem with this. Lin Sen is indeed not on the same level as Ferguson now, but he believes that under Lin's leadership, Malaga cannot relegate. Obviously, this is too absolute. Many people think that this is Angel's resentment at Lin Sen's speech at that press conference, but in Lin Sen's opinion, it is not entirely true.

On the contrary, after seeing the newspaper, Lin Sen even admired the reporter a little.

For many reporters, moral integrity is for losing. Angel's article seems provocative and seems to leave no way out at all. But in fact, no matter how Málaga's performance this season, there is no difference for Angel. If he wins, he will become the octopus Paul who has not appeared yet, so he can naturally make a big fuss. If he loses, Lin Sen and Málaga will probably help him promote it.

Because I want to know the answer, I have to wait at least for the second half of the league, and that will be next year.

Fame? Journalists survive only by exposure, not by reputation. Moreover, football is an uncertain factor.

Angel has a good plan, but there is a premise, that is, Linson or Malaga must take the initiative first. Linson is not interested in this. On the contrary, Barkasse really wants to ultimatum the Ass. In his opinion, even if he is free to speak, Angel's remarks are too rude to the Malaga club. What does it mean to be unable to maintain the level? Is the season beginning?

For the resentful Barkasse, Lin Sen just shook his head and told him not to pay attention, but he really ignored it. Compared to these off-field factors, he had something more important.

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

On August 24, Malaga officially confirmed the roster for the new season, with twenty-two people on the list, one more player than before. This player who was not announced to join until the list was confirmed the day before. Malaga fans are no strangers to Malaga's Portuguese player Duda who once played for Malaga.

After the two stages of signing, Lin Sen announced that Malaga's transfer market had been closed, and the facts were indeed the case. In the following time, Malaga seemed extremely quiet in the transfer market. Although Lin Sen said to Livermore at that time, then considered introducing one or two midfielders, Lin Sen had actually determined that there were only 21 first-team players in the new season. On the one hand, it was because Malaga was indeed short of money, and on the other hand, the team was indeed not short of people. Although the twenty-one players looked a little small, it was actually enough for Malaga, who had no intercontinental games involved in the new season.

However, Lin Sen did not expect that Livermore really found two candidates for himself. One was Spanish star Fernando. Fernando, who played for Betis last season, was a free agent and did not need to sign him. The other was Duda, who played for Sevilla. After repeated considerations, Lin Sen finally decided to ask Duda and gave up Fernando.

The reason is simple. Although Duda can only join on loan, he has a more affection for Malaga, which makes Lin Sen not have to worry about his motivation to play. Compared with Fernando, who is relatively single, Duda can be regarded as a versatile player in the frontcourt and is even more from the bottom line to the bottom line on the left, which can enrich the team's choices.

Of course, it is not impossible for Malaga to sign Fernando at the same time, but the most important reason why Lin Sen decided to give up Fernando was his contract requirements. Fernando is free and the high salary requirements are beyond refutation. But for Malaga, if he agrees to his salary requirements, it means that the team's current maximum salary limit will inevitably be broken. This is something Lin Sen doesn't want to see, not that he wants to save money for Malaga, but he knows the team's abilities, once they shine, Fernando's salary will become very, very conspicuous.

Once the team roster is confirmed, it means that the footsteps of the new season are vaguely audible, and the targeted training of Atletico Madrid has officially entered the training schedule of Malaga.

----------

Lin Sen is very satisfied with the current atmosphere of the team.

He is neither arrogant nor impatient, neither humble nor arrogant, and he is quite willing to sacrifice himself for his own life and dare to take the emperor down.

That's right. No one is optimistic about Malaga. Even Malaga's own fans do not have much hope for their team's first round victory. So, are those who are barefoot and are they afraid of wearing shoes? Anyone can look down on Malaga, but Malaga cannot look down on himself. Other things can be bowed, but Malaga must hold his head high.

For Linson himself, he had no reason to be afraid of Atletico Madrid.

Lin Sen is familiar with most Atletico Madrid players. He can even easily predict Resino's starting lineup, with an error of no more than two players. In addition to the newly added players this summer, he can easily tell the technical characteristics of each Atletico Madrid player, including some of their little habits on the court. This is the advantage!

Is Resino okay? He may not even understand the temperament of his players, let alone Malaga.

Lin Sen is also familiar with Resino, at least not less familiar with himself than Resino.

He knew that Resino likes oppressive play, just as Malaga also plays oppressive play, because Lin Sen himself likes this kind of play. However, there are many types of oppressive play. Lin Sen called his oppressive play soft pressure because he does not demand that his players can defeat their opponents in terms of strength and body. He only emphasized one advantage: the advantage of numericality. Only on this basis, Resino wants Atletico Madrid to get used to oppression. Have you asked Aguero? Have you asked Fran?... It is best if Resino has asked them all, otherwise Malaga will tell him what oppressive play is.

Lin Sen also knew that Resino liked to put the defense line in place, which is not surprising. The most taboo thing about oppressive play is to get out of touch with the three lines. Yes, it is the third line that once forced Lin Sen to make Atletico improve in a few games. Therefore, the defense line prerequisite is essentially an extension of the oppressive play. So, Lin Sen plans to give Resino a gift.

The name of this gift is Longdong.

August 31.

Cerrezzo came to the club as usual, walked into the headquarters, nodded to the club staff all the way, and when he was about to arrive at his office, he met Little Hill.

"Good morning, Miguel." Although the two often wrestled their wrists on the board, Cerezo still greeted him enthusiastically.

"Good morning. Enrique." Xiao Hill also nodded and smiled, "You are still so on time."

"Today is the first day of the new season, and I hope the team can have a good start." Cerezo walked to his office, took out the key and said as he opened the door.

"Abel performed well in the summer, and I believe it's the same today." Hill said confidently, "What's more, his opponent is just an amateur coach."

"Haha." Serezo smiled without answering.

"See you back. Enrique." Seeing that Enrique had opened the door, Xiao Hill waved and said.

"See you back."

Serezzo replied, then walked into the office and closed the door.

-------

Resino got up early this morning.

It was not because the team needed training this morning, on the contrary, because of the afternoon game, the team did not have any training in the morning. But he still got up two hours earlier than usual.

The opponent is Malaga, and he and Atletico Madrid have been preparing for this opponent for a whole week. During this period, assistant coach Juan gave him a lot of suggestions, most of which were about Lin Sen, focusing on details, defense, and efficiency... At first, Resino attached great importance to it, but gradually, he felt that Juan's suggestions were a bit useless, not because he had any opinions on Juan, but because his suggestions were too many. Everything needs to be light on the point. Once there are too many suggestions, it is actually not much different from not having any suggestions.

Atletico Madrid cannot have only one opponent in the whole season. He only has one week to prepare for the match against Lin Sen. There is only so much time, so there is no way to do so much targeted training. However, Resino still tried his best to respect Juan's opinions, because he has also watched Lin Sen's game. He knew very well that Juan's words were not false.

For Resino, the task given to him is to bring Atletico Madrid into the Champions League next season. The new season has just begun. For this game, no one has put any pressure on him, nor does it need to put pressure on him. This is just an ordinary game. Resino has been telling himself in his heart, but every time he says it, he seems to feel that the pressure is getting heavier.

Because every time, he still subconsciously thought of a result, what if Atletico Madrid can't win at home?

The person surnamed Lin is really in dispersed.

Resino felt helpless, but what should be come, he would still come.
