Guardiola soon received Costa’s report on Malaga vs. Mallorca.

Guardiola looked at the game report of a few hundred words for nearly half an hour. When he saw Costa’s last personal comment, Guardiola burst into laughter.

Although Costa was sent by him, in fact, Guardiola is a very self-centered head coach. In other words, Costa’s game report cannot influence his judgment of the next game. Guardiola believes in his tactical system, or to be precise, La Macia’s football philosophy, so even with one loss and one draw at the beginning of this season, Guardiola still believes in his tactics.

Guardiola's almost blind trust was quickly rewarded: he scored 23 goals in six games, with an average of nearly four goals per game. In this case, for Malaga, will Guardiola change his tactical strategy because of Costa's report? The answer is self-evident.

Malaga, but that's the case. Costa's comment is actually a comment on Linson.

This is also the main purpose of Guardiola's asking Costa to go, to observe the game, and more importantly, to observe Lin Sen.

Costa believes that Linson's game is purely a game of fire**.

This is exactly the same as the media's reaction after the game. They believe that the defeat in the Copa del Rey of Malaga was purely due to Linson's choice of suicide attack, while Malaga chose to give up the Copa del Rey.

Because everyone knows that the reason why Malaga has achieved current results in the league and has made great contributions to its solid defense. In eight league games, Malaga has only conceded four goals. It is one of the teams with the least number of goals conceded in La Liga, not to mention that three goals were lost in the game against Real Madrid. In addition to defense, it is the team's efficient counterattack.

But in this game, Malaga held high the banner of attack.

Guardiola never underestimates any opponent, whether it is Malaga or the stale rival Real Madrid, so he laughs at Costa's final evaluation: Can the head coach who can make Malaga the number one league in eight rounds, but that's it?

Guardiola knew that this must be the "beautiful football view" in Costa's heart. Like many Spaniards, he extremely believed that all teams based on defense were ugly, and even if they won, they were ugly.

Guardiola does not fully agree with this.

Although La Liga advocates open play, there are not many teams that play defensive counterattacks. Only Malaga can perform so well in defensive counterattacks, but only Malaga is the only one. Moreover, for Malaga, which is "unconventional", there are not many media in Spain who dare to laugh at Malaga's defense as destroying Spain's offensive football. Even Asa, who is already a little in a state of power and fire, did not dare to tease Lin Sen in this regard.

Why?

Because it's too easy for Lin Sen to fight back.

If a team like Real Madrid and Barcelona play ugly, the media can certainly criticize it because they have the conditions to play so-called beautiful football. But Malaga is the poorest newly promoted team in La Liga. Their budget this season is not even a fraction of Barcelona's summer budget... For such a Malaga, it would be good to win. If you still want to ask them to win beautifully, it is not Malaga's tactical problem, but the IQ problem of the questioner.

To put it bluntly, I am Xiaomi and rifle, you are an airplane and cannon, and you still want me to fight you, are shameless?

It is true that the media likes gimmicks, but it is clear that no one is willing to do something that humiliates themselves.

Therefore, in Guardiola's view, Lin Sen is at least a very practical head coach, because he is not following the trend of La Liga, but is smartly hiding under the status of Malaga's newly promoted team and very decisively implementing his tactical concept.

However, in this game, why did Lin Sen suddenly change his tactical strategy?

Guardiola touched his head with his hand. It was not difficult to know the reason.

He imagined that under what circumstances he would change his tactical strategy, there were actually two types of things. One was the pressure of grades. This obviously did not exist. Then, it was the second one, the pressure from the top.

Sons wants beautiful football?

Guardiola smiled. If that were the case, then Lin would have had a hard time.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Lin Sen didn't know that his tactical experiment could actually remind Guardiola of so many things, and that the association was so appropriate.

However, although Guardiola's guesswork was correct, it was deviated.

Lin Sen's experiment did not come from pressure, and slaughtering can only be regarded as a demonstration. Because there is indeed a little reason, Lin Sen was stimulated by Old Sans' words, but more of it was actually to make the players more clear about the current team's positioning. Although there is no sign of "superior soldier" in Malaga so far, everything needs to be prevented before it happens.

Just like Gundogan before.

Gundogan, who had suffered a back injury, had been resting for almost a month. During this period, the medical team proved that Gundogan had recovered twice, but every time, Gundogan felt uncomfortable during training and repeated. Linson put Gundogan on the injury list. It was not until the game against Sevilla that Gundogan participated in the team's joint training.

The reason is naturally that Lin Sen once again used his plug-in.

Gundogan's problem was finally determined to be related to the spine. Because of his position being too sensitive, Lin Sen actually did not expect Gundogan to accept it as soon as possible. But what surprised Lin Sen was that unlike Aguero, who was afraid of pain, for his treatment, in addition to showing a little bit of surprise that Lin Sen actually had this treatment method, perhaps because he knew that Lin Sen was a doctor before, and Gundogan was very cooperative.

Of course, cooperation does not mean that we believe it completely.

However, after several treatments, Gundoan had to believe it. The reason was very simple. He felt uncomfortable as soon as he went to the training ground as the so-called conservative treatment of the medical team, but after Lin Sen intervened, he immediately felt energetic.

However, Gundogan recovered from injury, but he failed to return to the starting position again.

In the game against Sevilla, Lindon still let Duda start, while Cork, who originally played on the left, beat Gundogan's previous position. However, this game is a league, and Gundogan can understand Lindon's choice. However, in the game against Mallorca, Gundogan still did not get even one minute of playing time, which made Gundogan a little impatient.

He had to be impatient. In the four league games he missed, Malaga did not seem to be affected at all, with three wins and one draw. More importantly, Duda, who got the opportunity because of his absence, performed well, with one goal and one assist in four games, and Cork, who occupied his position, made up for his absence to the greatest extent, at least there were no obvious mistakes.

In such a situation, what's strange if Linson continues to let Gundoan stay on the bench?

So, when Linson found Gundogan in the gym, the color on Gundogan's head surprised him a little.

For nearly a week, after training in the team, Gundoan needed to practice for half an hour in the gym to exercise his back muscles, and then Lin Sen's acupuncture treatment. Seeing Lin Sen come in, Gundoan was about to say hello, but Lin Sen was already waved his hand first, and then he also found a fitness equipment to wait for Gundoan while practicing by himself.

Ten minutes later, Gundogan's exercise ended, and Lin Sen also began his treatment.

Before the beginning, Lin Sen saw Gundam wanting to speak but stopped several times, and then asked with a smile, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Gundoan didn't expect that Lin Sen would see his hesitation, and was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't want to question your decision... Boss, but I really want to know if I have a chance to play next game."

Lin Sen himself doesn't care much about what the players call him, coach, boss, and boss. As long as the players can meet his requirements, it doesn't matter what they call him. However, it is undeniable that the change in the title often represents the change in relationships.

At present, most of the team members have started to use the title "head" when calling him. Before that, except for Cork, everyone else called him almost all Mr. Coach. You should know that this is in Spain. From Mr. Coach to Mr. Chief, it is obviously not just a simple recognition on the court.

Before that, Gundoan had always called Lin Sen by Mr. Coach.

In fact, Gundoan's mentality is very similar to Lin Sen. He does not think that changing a title can make him look very respectful to the coach. With his personality, he always uses the initial title.

Of course, this does not mean that he is independent. On the contrary, Gundogan is very satisfied with the current internal atmosphere in Malaga.

On the training ground, everyone had a smile on their faces. Even if they were tortured by the coach, there were not many factions or rifts among the players in the locker room. At the beginning, the gap between the new and old players disappeared with the familiarity between the two sides. Every time the game approached, the team was always full of confidence. The locker room before the battle was far less depressed than imagined...

Gundogan thinks he is not as active as London, not as likable as Reus, and is not as steady as Gabby... He is a bit introverted and does not have a strong presence in the training ground. He is more of a quiet completion of the training tasks assigned by the coach. Then, in his spare time, he quietly watches his teammates playing various jokes about meat and vegetables, occasionally showing a smile...

This atmosphere reminded Gundo'an of the atmosphere when he was still in the youth team. There was no pressure and playing football was so simple that it was just for dreams.

But at that time, there were still dreams that maintained this atmosphere. Now, what was the one that maintained this atmosphere?
