Chapter 815: The New Coach's Troubles and Problems
Actually, Raul. Soros is still sure if he wants to attack Mourinho, first of all, the existence of Lin Yu gives Mourinho a reason to come to Real Madrid to coach, and secondly, now he is the president, and Casillas's captaincy is gradually unsafe, even if Mourinho really asks Real Madrid to sell Casillas, it is not impossible to consider.
As for money, there is no need to worry, Real Madrid, which has just won the Champions League, the league and the Copa del Rey, has already gained the trust of its members, and it is not a problem to spend money on a coach at this time.
However, the rest of the club's hierarchy were extremely unhappy with this, and they felt that if Mourinho was allowed to return, it would ruin the image of Real Madrid, as if it was wrong to let Mourinho go in the first place.
In the end, this is not the case, Raul. After all, Soros's position in Real Madrid is not stable, not to mention that if this matter is too fierce, it will hurt Zidane, he actually hopes that Zidane can do some results, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to take the risk of using Zidane, in his opinion, with Lin Yu, this season's results should not be bad!
After the head coach is determined, the next step is to discuss the team's lineup, Real Madrid has now changed its previous superstar policy, and does not want to spend a lot of money on players, plus this team is the Champions League champion squad, rather than making changes, it is better not to change, as long as some adjustments are made to individual positions.
It is important to note that Real Madrid's squad is still quite young in general and will have many years to play, so it would be enough to make some additions in individual positions.
And these additions. Don't exaggerate too much, what you want is to strengthen the thickness of the bench. And not the people who are clamoring to kick the main force.
After discussing the players to be supplemented with Raul and Soros, several people talked about Lin Yu again.
"Boss. I want to talk to you about Lin Yu. β
"Lin Yu? Didn't he do well? Are you going to sell him? Zidane asked suspiciously.
"Hell, I'm not crazy, why sell him!" Soros hurriedly waved his hand.
"What do you mean by that?"
"What I want to say is that Lin Yu's position in the new season is better not to change, just let him play as a center forward, he likes to score, just try to satisfy him." Soros said.
Zidane smiled and said: "What should I do, although I did have some disputes with Lin Yu in the past, but it was a long time ago." I'm not going to be foolish, he likes to score goals, so I'll just let him stay in this position. β
"Hmm...... This is the best, Lin Yu's personality is too strong, and when dealing with such a player, it is still necessary to focus on appeasement, and too tough means will not have a good effect. Soros nodded, and then said: "By the way, last season, Lippi suggested that Lin Yu be the captain of the team. What are your thoughts? β
"Isn't he already the fourth captain?"
"Not enough! Far from enough! I'm talking about the first captain! You've been watching from the sidelines, so you know he's qualified to be captain again, and he's done a really good job both personally and to boost the morale of the team. There should be no problem in choosing him to be the team's first captain. Soros continued.
Raul also nodded and said: "Although Casillas is the hero of the team, it is only in the selection of captains. I also support Lin Yu, he is more suitable! β
"So be it. After Lin Yu returns to the team, I'll go talk to him about it. The choice of captain is more important, you can't be sloppy, and you still have to ask for his personal opinion. Zidane thought about it and said, he doesn't want to blame the black pot, if there is a problem in the team because of the change of captain, he, the head coach, must be responsible.
β¦β¦
Lin Yu spent the happiest and most relaxed period of the season in Portugal, even happier than winning the Champions League, this is a separate time for him and Qu Hong, no one disturbs, no one presses, they are also rare and relaxed.
After that, the two of them returned to China together, in addition to visiting the old people of the two families, there were also some business activities to participate, that is, Lin Yu is now busy again.
In Beijing, Lin Yu participated in a CCTV program in which he shared some of his interesting and inspirational experiences playing football over the years, and finally selected two lucky viewers to get the chance to watch the game at the Bernabeu Stadium for free.
Not only that, Lin Yu also specially watched a domestic junior high school football league, and with his vision, he selected three lucky children to go to Madrid with him to train in the Real Madrid academy, two of which were children from his father's school.
Of course, these children will not delay their studies in Spain, including tuition, room and board, etc., Lin Yu is all covered, after all, there are only three people, and he can provide it very easily.
When participating in a business event, Lin Yu also had to face interviews with the media, not only the Chinese media, but also some reporters from Japan, South Korea, and even Europe.
Lin Yu is not the kind of cold-faced person, if he does have time when the reporter interviews, then he is still more willing to accept such an interview.
As Real Madrid's biggest problem at this stage - coach! The reporters can be regarded as concentrating their firepower, hoping to extract some information worthy of hype from Lin Yu's mouth.
Some reporters also know that Zidane said in front of Lin Yu that Lin Yu was not suitable for Real Madrid, and they thought that people like Lin Yu would definitely hold grudges, so they hoped to hear Lin Yu's evaluation of Zidane and Lippi.
Lin Yu said with a smile: "Speaking of Lippi, I believe everyone here will be strangers, when Lippi led Evergrande to win the AFC Champions League, I had a good impression of him, and in the next two seasons, he led Real Madrid to the coveted tenth Champions League title, I admire him very much, and I respect him very much, his retirement is a loss to the football world, and it is a loss to Real Madrid!" β
He doesn't say clichΓ©s, because these words are from his heart, and they are all truths. He is indeed a little worried about whether the new coach Zinedine Zidane will be able to lead the team well, and he doesn't even know what the club's top management thinks. Let someone who has never led a team lead a team that has just won the Champions League!
That's right, Zidane was in the days of the player. The performance is very good, but the player and the coach are completely different, in the position of coach, he is a chick, to lead the middle and lower teams, to exercise the ability is okay, but directly with Real Madrid, it is really a little worrying.
In this interview, Raul was also present. Raul is now Real Madrid's sporting director, so there are some things that he has to do in person, and coming to China, in addition to negotiating contracts with some investors, also means to block trouble for Lin Yu.
When he heard Lin Yu's words, he knew that Lin Yu was a little dissatisfied with the club's decision, but Lin Yu would not say it publicly, after all, Lin Yu was just a player. He is not satisfied with the coach, and for the sake of unity for the time being, he will not bring it up publicly, and then again. Lin Yu is not the kind of person who sprays people casually, he is just worried, and worrying does not mean complete denial.
"Listen to this. You seem to miss Lippi very much, are you not optimistic about the new coach Zinedine Zidane? I heard you had a holiday with him. Will this affect your relationship in the future?"
When Lin Yu heard this, he smiled secretly in his heart. These reporters don't really think they're idiots, asking such obvious questions is nothing more than sowing discord, trying to mess up Real Madrid, and then hyping up the news, these reporters are best at doing these things.
He said lightly: "You guys are mistaken, Zidane is my idol!" As for how he is a coach, I haven't worked with him and I don't have much to say, but I hope Real Madrid can continue last season's glory and continue to win the title to the end! β
In fact, reporters shouldn't ask that, they should have known a long time ago that Lin Yu would not be silent at all when spraying outsiders, but when talking about his teammates, bosses or coaches, he would not be so casual, this is a person who pays attention to teamwork.
β¦β¦
Without getting decent answers and topics from Lin Yu, the reporters' brains were opened, and they decided to rely on their ability to write brilliant words and be good at making up stories, turn decay into magic, and write an article that can cause shock.
As a result, an article titled "Zidane is a great player! Coaching ......
That's right, there is a string of ellipses in the title, which makes people reverie, the article specifically depicts Lin Yu's praise for Lippi's coaching ability, and then says his admiration for Zidane's playing days, and then mentions that Zidane is going to become the coach of Real Madrid, the reporter used this sentence "Lin Yu's face is worried, he doesn't seem to be optimistic about Zidane's coaching career." β
Well, Lin Yu didn't say anything, but they guessed such a passage through what expressions, which was completely creating a tense atmosphere between Lin Yu and Zidane.
In fact, this also has something to do with Lin Yu, because the reporter was interviewing Cristiano. Ronaldo, Bale, Casillas and others, these players also praised Lippi, saying that Lippi's retirement was regrettable, but they also said that "Zidane can definitely lead Real Madrid to glory, we believe!" β
This is a scene, but no one doesn't like to listen to good words, not to mention that this can also be understood as a blessing and a kind of expectation. And Lin Yu did not express any opinion on Zidane's teaching, but seemed to be not optimistic about Zidane.
If you really want to say it, Lin Yu is really unhappy with Zidane, he has not forgotten the humiliation that Zidane brought him, but that was just what happened in the past, for the sake of the team, he can bear it. But he really doubts Zidane's coaching ability, which has nothing to do with prejudice, because Zidane lacks coaching experience, as long as he is a reasonable person, he will doubt it, including Real Madrid's president Raul. Soros also doubted Zidane's coaching ability, but unfortunately there was no more suitable candidate, so he could only take risks temporarily.
β¦β¦
In the office, Zidane put down the newspaper in his hand, his face was a little helpless, a little wry, of course he knew that Lin Yu would not say something like that, but he felt that he had to untie the knot between himself and Lin Yu, if this problem could not be solved, there would be no unhindered cooperation between the two people.
Lin Yu is now not only the core of the team, but also the spiritual leader of the team, and the president of the club also has the idea of making Lin Yu the first captain of the team, if he can't have a good relationship with Lin Yu, his coaching career will be a failure.
Maybe this matter is the biggest problem at the beginning of his coaching, and it is also the first test, if Lin Yu can handle it, then the next thing will be easy to do.
However, from this report, Zidane also saw some truths.
He suddenly felt a cold sweat on his entire back.
While including Cristiano. Ronaldo, Bale, Casillas and others have expressed their blessings and acceptance of him, but how many of these words are sincere? Maybe these people are the ones who really look down on him, in terms of his playing career, he has indeed been brilliant, but in terms of coaching career, he is a newcomer, why do others believe you?
Obviously, Lin Yu is straightforward and will not hide it, but it is Lin Yu's emotions that make him see the truth of the matter, and it is definitely not a simple matter to make these players fully accept and convince themselves. (To be continued......)
