The Free Press.

This is a sports newspaper in Spain, the scale is not small, of course, it cannot be compared with the famous "Marca", "As" and other newspapers. The newspaper mainly covers football matches, supplemented by other sports news, and has a place in Spain, where football is popular, although it cannot compete with other major newspapers.

The newspaper is based in the capital, Madrid, and like the other major European leagues, the geography of football in each league actually determines the direction of media opinion. For example, the Madrid-based newspaper "As" always favors Real Madrid, and even has the title of Real Madrid's team newspaper, while Catalonia's "Daily Sports" always cheers for Barcelona, and the teams that are rivals in the league can often be most directly reflected in the newspapers represented in their regions.

From this point of view, the opinion of the newspaper Libre seems objective, because although it is based in Madrid, thanks to the newspaper Ace and Marca, even if the newspaper Libre wants to raise the flag for Real Madrid, it has a little less weight and seems a little insignificant. Perhaps it was with this in mind that the Free Press was very interested in basing its newspaper views on a "neutral" standpoint.

There are good and bad positions in this position, and the good thing is that the fans on both sides are not offended, and the sales of the newspaper are guaranteed. And the bad part is that there are no absolute dead readers.

Rod Gonzalez is the deputy editor of the Free Press, although the Free Press is not big, but to sit in this position, Rod naturally has a lot of connections in the industry, including many fans. For example, Sesc Barr, the head of Atletico Madrid's largest fan organization.

"You got it?" At this time, in a bar, Rod looked at Barr in front of him with a surprised expression.

"I just found out not long ago." Barr took a sip of his beer, looking a little awkward. He asked Rod to come out this time in order to confirm to Rod the news that a large number of coaches followed the departure of head coach Aguirre, and Rod gave him a positive answer.

Obviously, there is no wind and no waves.

"Hell." Receiving an affirmative reply, Rod was even more surprised, "You can be better informed than me, this is internal information." Haven't you been reading newspapers lately, how did you know? ”

Newspaper......

Ballen snorted, what newspaper was he reading? He really didn't feel that mood to watch others sing the praises of their team's sworn enemies and sneer at their favorite teams.

"Don't ask, you sue me, is there any news of a new coach?" Barr looked up at Rod, ignoring Rod's surprise and asked casually.

"Yes!" Rod replied without the slightest hesitation, "And it's explosive news." ”

"Oh?" Barr took another big sip of beer. The explosive news in Rod's mouth is not explosive at all in his eyes, and now Atletico Madrid, what is the point of discussing who will lead the team.

Squinting at the half-dead Barr, Rod smiled and spat out a sentence: "The new coach is a team doctor!" ”

"Poof......

Now the explosion came out.

Barr directly squirted out the beer he had just poured down, ignoring the hops that his beard was full of white flowers, and glared at the big round eyes and said, "Team doctor?!" ”

"And it's a Chinese."

Rod watched Barr's reaction with satisfaction, and spat out another sentence from his mouth.

Now, Barr's face turned blue.

－－－－－－－－－－

Two days later, Atletico Madrid's official website announced that former Atletico Madrid staff member Lin Sen became the acting manager of Atletico Madrid, and the young Chinese will lead Atletico Madrid to the last seven games of the season. The two parties have signed a short-term contract until the end of the season, and whether it will be renewed or not will be determined at that time.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.

“GIVEUP！”

On the front page, Marca, which has rarely put Atletico Madrid in this position this season, gave such a headline in huge bold letters.

GIVEUP, there are two interpretations of this word, one is to give up, the other is to surrender, no doubt, no matter which explanation, it is full of strong mockery at this time, and it is not just Marca, almost all the media have used similar words in the coverage of this matter, Aguirre's resignation is unexpected, but it is reasonable, Atletico Madrid has no desire this season, this is a fact that everyone knows, but no one thought of it, Cerezo would have chosen an amateur coach with no coaching experience at all to be his acting head coach.

It is said that after learning the news, Atletico Madrid fans have organized personnel to protest at the headquarters of Atletico Madrid, many extreme fans holding various slogans and wantonly abusing the team's top management, and even, some fans attacked the headquarters building with stones and other debris, but fortunately, the police arrived in time and did not cause any danger.

The whole thing, the media and fans vented all their anger on the Atletico Madrid hierarchy, as for Linsen, it was just an innocent pitiful worm, and he was not even qualified as a scapegoat.

Just when the outside world was turned upside down, Lin Sen had already packed all his personal belongings in the medical room and was ready to settle in the head coach's office. No one thought that things would develop like this, Lin Sen himself didn't expect that the outside world had been speculating about how this qiē happened, but in fact, things were unexpectedly simple.

He originally planned to ask Cerezo to report about Aguero, but Cerefzo asked him if he had coaching qualifications, of course he had coaching qualifications, and he was very advanced, without interest in football, he would not have come to be a team doctor, becoming a head coach used to be a dream, but this dream gradually extinguished with time and reality, after all, in the field of coaching, especially in the field of coaching, he is too small. But Cerezo's mention made his eyes shine! So, the next thing is logical.

As a manager, why not?

In terms of tactical level coaching experience, maybe he is indeed half a bucket of water now, but he can't stand up to his nearly ten-year lead, and if possible, Pep Guardiola, who will blow the limit control in Barcelona next season, may be in tears. On the level of human trafficking...... The so-called vision is considered a low-level ability in his eyes. Lin Sen didn't intend to change his trajectory, but now, now that he has this opportunity and has the most powerful plug-in in the world, he feels that he may not become one of the greatest coaches in history, but there is no reason not to be a successful, or at least the most profitable coach, well, the only one. So at this time, he was thinking about only one question, and that was how he could serve the public.

Of course, the crowd here can't be the media, nor the fans who are taking the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction all season outside, but the most tangible team in front of him!

Even Aguirre can't know the current state of Atletico Madrid better than the current Linson, in Linsen's eyes, Atletico Madrid on the field, except for a few players, can hardly see the color on the head, yes, there is no color, that is, there is no state, but the problem is: these people are playing, not lounging. The color they should appear in most should be green, preferably a dark green that represents a state of euphoria.

Hope is good, reality is cruel. Knowing what state is not necessarily true to Lin Sen can change. How the players view the next game and what mentality they plan to play with is different from physical injuries, which are not controlled by drugs, but only about how they deal with them. Linsen doesn't think that he has Mourinho's charisma that can make players work for themselves, not to mention, people's personal charisma is piled up with real championships, so he has no choice but to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses: he plans to make a bet.

If the bet is won, the world will be peaceful, and there will be one more football coach in the world who is at least a torch-eyed football coach.

lost the bet, the world was still peaceful, but Lin Sen had no choice but to continue to walk the way he should go.

So, Lin Sen decided to hold an intra-team meeting, and the time was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Sen arrived at the conference room at half past two, and then, on the screen in the conference room, he called up the standings of the season so far and the next three rounds of La Liga, and then he began to sit on the stage and wait for the arrival of the players.

At 2:46, the first to come was Antonio López, who had a good relationship with Linsen, and he was joined by Italian bald goalkeepers Christian Abbiati (Christian Abbiati) and Luis García (Luis García) on loan from AC Milan. Two minutes later, Uruguayan star Forlán (Diego Forlán), who was alone after Aguero's injury, appeared alone, and he also took the initiative to nod to Linsen.

At 2:59, Lin Sen took a look at the players below, there are 26 players in the first team of Atletico Madrid, the number is not bloated, deducting the professional glass man Thiago Motta (ThiagoMotta) is far away in Brazil because of injury, 25 people should have been present, but now it is the 15th person, and there are still ten people who have not arrived. Just as Lin Sen was about to check who else hadn't arrived, the three-legged Aguero stepped in from the door, smiled at Lin Sen after coming in, and walked directly to the back seat.

Well, now there are nine left.

Five minutes later, five people led by Argentine goalkeeper Franco arrived.

Eight minutes later, Spanish prodigy Antonio Reyes and defender Pernia arrived.

Fifteen minutes later, Portuguese winger Simao and Portuguese midfielder Maniche arrived last.

Lin Sen's face was very calm, and even with a hint of a smile, he didn't say anything about the people who were late, just quietly wrote down their names in his notebook, and then, he stood up and said to everyone: Hello everyone, I want to make a bet with you.
