Chapter 53 Halfway
On December 14th, the entire Spain and the entire world football world will focus on the Camp Nou, because this round of La Liga will have a highlight: Barcelona is at home against Real Madrid.
Barcelona, which is full of momentum and Real Madrid, which is both internal and external troubles, are Barcelona's natural victory or Real Madrid's defeat? Everything is unknown. It is worth mentioning that after losing to Sevilla at home 3-4 last week, Real Madrid officially announced the dismissal of Schuster. Juand Ramos, who had just stepped down from the Premier League Hotspurs team for less than two months, took over the German position. The direct reason for Schuster's flak was that the strong-willed German told the truth after losing to Sevilla: This is Barcelona's season.
Lin Sen, who had known that Schuster would be dismissed for a long time, knew in his heart that the Germans were just the "scapegoat" Real Madrid found for the current bad situation, but as a peer, he still "criticized" the giant clubs' eagerness for quick success and instant benefits when interviewed by reporters, and praised Schuster, saying that the other party was an excellent coach.
The sleek Lin Sen led the team to a sleek game. Malaga defeated the visiting Numancia 2-0 at home. Lewandowski was still the starting record for Malaga, and the one who locked the victory was Cork, who recently made Lin Sen a little nervous. This made Lin Sen more understand what happiness is. On the one hand, Cork's outstanding performance is good, but on the other hand, this will undoubtedly make Atletico Madrid's determination to buy back Cork.
In addition, what Lin Sen felt most gratified about this game was the defense line. The defense line that failed to stop the opponent from scoring in four consecutive games. In this game, he finally lost the opponent without fail. Lin Sen made a choice between the future and the present: Bonucci and Ranokia continued to serve as starting center backs. Of course, Lin Sen also had to do what he should do.
After losing to La Coruña in the last round, Linson had a conversation with Ranokia and Bonucci. The conversation was short, not an annoying preaching or a harsh warning. He just told the two of them a decision: in the next game this season, they will be his first choice in the central defender position, and he hopes that they will not let him regret this decision.
Then, Lin Sen let everything that followed was natural.
What surprised Lin Sen was that this victory over Numancia actually alarmed Sans Jr. The young Chairman Malaga went to the locker room to congratulate the players after the game. Of course, Lin Sen did not know what Sans Jr. had happened in the draw of the early season schedule. He did take the initiative to apply to coach Numancia, and the other party refused him. This is a fact, but for Lin Sen, this is just a small episode, completely different from Valencia. In fact, Lin Sen has a little resentment towards Valencia, not because the other party rejected him, but because the other party rejected him.
So, Numancia, for him, is just a very ordinary league game, and he doesn't think about it.
The reason why Sans Jr. is so excited about defeating Numancia is undoubtedly because Malaga finally helped him breathe a sigh of relief. Since the Spanish tax rate may be adjusted, there will be a La Liga presidential summit at the end of the year. At that time, the presidents of all La Liga teams will be present. Sans Jr. can't wait to see Carsces' expression when he sees him.

On December 21, La Liga held its sixteenth round, which is also the last round of the league this year. Malaga, who challenged the eighth league in the league, played one-to-one with the opponent in a rain game. For Atletico Muniz, the head coach of Atletico Muniz, this game may mean more, because Malaga is the team he coached last season. Of course, it means more not just regrets, and Muniz does not regret it, because he knows very well that this Malaga is still completely different from his Malaga. Even if he stayed at that time, Malaga might not be as good as he is now. Therefore, than regret, he is actually more happy for Malaga fans. His departure is indeed proactive, but it does not mean that he is ruthless.
As for Lin Sen, he has nothing to complain about the draw. Although many radical Malaga fans hope that Malaga can tell Muniz in person how big a mistake it is for him to leave, overall Malaga's performance is not good, and both sides can only be considered as half a pound.
Perhaps it is a bit tricky. The one who scored that goal was actually Cork. This was already two consecutive games of Cork. So, after the game, Linson finally had to face the consequences of Cork's explosion at the most inappropriate time. A reporter asked at a post-match press conference: There is news that Atletico Madrid is preparing to exercise Cork's repurchase rights during the winter transfer period. What do you think about this?
What do I think? Lin Sen was a little depressed and replied coldly: The transfer period has not begun yet, so it is meaningless to talk about these things now.
Unexpectedly, just this sentence made the reporter get a loophole, and the other party quickly asked again: You did not deny that Atletico Madrid has the right to repurchase over Cork. So, does the right to repurchase really exist?
Lin Sen frowned a little now, knowing that his answer just now was not clear enough, so he simply cheated: I didn't deny it, nor would I admit it. Since you said yes, then just pretend it is right.
Regarding Lin Sen's irresponsible answer, the reporter who had just been thrust into a bad mood. After a while, a reporter asked again: Just after the game, Cork said that he would never ignore the call from Atletico Madrid. What do you think about this?
This time, Lin Sen was silent for a while before replying: Cork is an honest young man. He spends much more time at Atletico Madrid than here. Atletico Madrid trained him, so I don't think there is anything wrong with his words.
Afterwards, the reporter still wanted to continue asking questions, but Lin Sen no longer planned to give them another chance, so he winked at Barkashe who was present. Helpless Barkashe had to end the press conference early on the grounds that the time for the question was over.
Lin Sen was actually a little irritable, and he knew very well the reason for his irritability. Although he told the media at the press conference that Cork's answer was normal, he still couldn't let it go. It was not that Lin Sen was dissatisfied with Cork's uncovered remarks. Cork was the best player in this game, and it was a routine thing for him to accept interviews. Lin Sen absolutely believed that it was just the unscrupulous reporter's guidance of the pure boy that made Cork say such words.
However, no matter what, he actually knew the thoughts of his players from the reporter, which was undoubtedly wrong. Therefore, Lin Sen felt it was necessary to talk to Cork, and he had to know the little guy's true thoughts.
Before Christmas holidays.
As Christmas is approaching, La Liga will usher in a short offseason, and the next round of league starts on January 3 next year. Therefore, depending on the different arrangements of each team, players will generally have a vacation ranging from seven to ten days.

With the final round of the league in 2008, the current situation in La Liga is getting clearer.
The First Group, which is based on the qualification for the Champions League, currently ranks first in Barcelona in the 16 rounds of 13 wins, two draws and one loss, with 41 points, and is undoubtedly the winter champion. Guardiola, who was named the best coach of the month for two consecutive months after Lin Sen, almost certainly won the La Liga best coach of the month after winning the national derby.
After seven consecutive victories, Malaga, who has almost never won consecutive victories again, relied on its early advantages. Although its state has fluctuated in recent stages, it still occupies the second place in the league with ten wins, four draws and two losses. However, it is already a seven-point difference with the leader Barcelona. Although Lin Sen, the youngest head coach of La Liga, has been controversial in recent times, his success can no one be erased. Assistant reporter Angel of the AS newspaper, the argument that Lin Sen could not lead Malaga to relegation at the beginning of the season has become a laughing stock in the mouths of Malaga fans. Now, they just want to wait for Malaga to get the theoretical relegation score of 40 in La Liga, and plan to reproduce the feat of Manchester United fans fighting back against Alan Hansen in the stands.
Following Malaga is Sevilla and Villarreal, with a score of 32 points and 30 points not big. The second group, which is qualifying for the League Cup, has previously been ranked fifth in the top three, followed by Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid...
The most disappointing team is undoubtedly Real Madrid. Chairman Calderon is obviously a little worried. The "pit" of summer transfers has not been filled in after all. Coupled with the strength of his arch-rival Barcelona, Real Madrid fans' dissatisfaction with Calderon is approaching the verge of outbreak. Fans are dissatisfied with Atletico Madrid only need comfort, but for Real Madrid, a member-based Real Madrid, it takes the life of Calderon, who is determined to be re-election. Perhaps in order to make fans know that summer is not reluctant to spend money, but just not having time to spend it. Before the winter transfer has begun, Real Madrid booked Hunteral from Ajax early...
As for Atletico Madrid, after experiencing the initial severe blow, Resino seemed to have slowly entered the role. He won two wins and one draw in three games in October, and at least pulled Atletico Madrid back to the second group.
