Chapter Ninety-Five: Before the End
In the northwestern suburbs of Madrid, Spain, there is a small two-story building, with a façade made of light gray granite, white stone, red brick and dark brown stone slabs, which looks simple and solemn. The grounds are planted with cedars, oaks and other trees, surrounded by dense oak forests, and the Guadalama Mountains are high in the distance.
This is the Sazuela Palace, the living place of the King of Spain.
Boya loved this place when she was a child, because it was quiet and there were always cute little animals in the woods outside, but when she grew up, she came here only a handful of times a year, not because she didn't like it, but because she saw the "scenery" behind the building.
At this time, Boya was walking out of the gate of this building, his face was as calm as ever, but in his eyes, it was difficult to hide the disappointment.
As Lin Sen said before, as long as Boya wants to check, she will definitely be able to find out, but what Boya didn't expect was that Yiqiē was far from being as deep as she imagined, and the process of investigation was not a peeling off, but an easy task.
Disappointment was not enough to describe Boya's mood at the time, and at first, she forced herself to think that it was nothing more than Ulalin's own ghost, but soon the truth told her that naivety was useless in such a matter. Boya immediately went to find her mother, Princess Isabel, and then her mother asked her to come here.
But here, all she gets is an answer that disappoints her even more. Leaving Sazuela Palace, Boya sent a message to Lin Sen, as brief as ever: I really envy you.
And then. To Boya's surprise, she soon received a reply: Don't want to change the world.
With a wry smile, Boya stopped, and then wrote a message in the message bar of her phone, but instead of sending it out immediately, she looked at the phone and froze.
Because she knew that if this message was sent, something might change.
What am I going to do?
It doesn't look like Boya would say anything at all.
But Boya was in a daze, not because she would say such a thing, but why she would want to say such a thing to the other party.
Maybe it's because the identities of the two are somewhat similar, or maybe it's because the two have always had an unusually tacit understanding in a few short contacts, just like now. She just sent a message with no beginning and no end. The other party knows what she wants to say......
But perhaps, it means uncertainties.
Boya still didn't send this message after all, and she didn't send anything else, just when she was about to let this "exchange" that was too short to be shorter end quietly again as before. She received another message. Also from Linsen.
Just be yourself.
Look at this message as if it was answering something she hadn't said before. Boya subconsciously checked whether the information just now was accidentally sent by himself, but the answer was no.
Look at the text messages. Boya laughed again.
This time, it's not a wry smile-
When he received Boya's text message, Lin Sen had just finished training.
Although Lin Sen said "possibility" when he reminded Boya before, he knew that it was not a possibility, but a fact, and this conclusion was not only because of memory, but also because of a sentence that Boya said at the time, the Uralin couple moved to Washington. In Linsen's view, it is definitely not a coincidence that the Uralin couple abandoned their mansion in Barcelona and moved to Washington, D.C., USA, and even this decision may not have been made by the Uralin couple themselves.
Therefore, when Boya said that she "envied" herself, he understood that Boya already knew a qiē, of course, if she just knew, it was obviously not a "envy", it was more likely that in the way this matter was handled, Boya and her family, or to be exact, the Spanish royal family's opinion was not consistent, Lin Sen didn't know what Boya's opinion was, but combined with the qiē that happened in his memory, the opinion of the Spanish royal family is obviously not difficult to guess.
Lin Sen was able to understand Boya because he had encountered something similar, except that he was luckier than Boya because he had the opportunity to reverse this qiē. But now, for Boya, he can only give one that is at least what Lin Sen thinks is the best for her personally.
Don't try to change the world, just be yourself. It may sound like a lot of fun, but for the vast majority of people, being able to do their best is already a great thing. And this is also the principle that Lin Sen has always been doing things.
After the training, it is the coaching meeting at the end of the month.
Normally, coaching meetings are held once a week, but this cycle is not absolute, especially in England, where the 'chaos' of fixtures also makes it difficult for the coaching staff to maintain such a cycle. Compared with a coaching meeting, a training plan made once a month is more regular, usually at the end of the month, but it is not fixed which day it is.
Today's main content is the training plan for April.
The same weekly meeting is different, and the development of the training plan does not require the participation of all coaches, after all, the training plan is closely related to the coaching style of the head coach, that is, the coaching style of the head coach determines the tactical style of the team, and the tactical style determines the training plan. Therefore, when formulating the training plan, only four people are actually involved, head coach Lin Sen, assistant coach Kidd, physical fitness coach Dina and technical coach Tang Hua.
'In April, there are six games in the current schedule, but if we can get to the semi-finals of the Europa League, then we have to play two more, which means that theoretically, we may have eight games next month, and considering that two games are on the first and last days of next month, the schedule is not too tight, at least not more intense than in February. According to the usual practice, Tang Hua first introduced the schedule for next month, "But our opponents are not easy to deal with, in addition to the two games in the Europa League and Liverpool, in the middle of the month and the end of the month, we also need to face Manchester United and Arsenal respectively, and these two games are away games. ”
Although Tang Hua's voice was not in a hurry, everyone in the audience knew it. Whether Manchester City can really only end their journey with one League Cup this season is actually a matter of looking at Manchester City's closing table for next month.
Needless to say, the last two strong opponents of the league, Manchester United and Arsenal, Manchester City have played against both teams twice this season, and both in the league and once in the League Cup, Manchester City have a perfect table and a winning record, but it is precisely because of this that the third meeting of the season, the two teams are not willing to accept a season to be beaten by the same team three times in a row, especially Manchester United. So. The difficult journey of these two away games can be imagined.
On the other hand, the Europa League quarter-final draw for Liverpool is a draw, and although Liverpool have a poor table this season, they are among the odds offered by bookmakers to win the Europa League. But it is the most optimistic. The reason is compared to other teams. They have a lot of experience in Europe. And in the previous two meetings, Linson failed to get any benefit from Benitez's men once, and both games were drawn. And this time, there is no draw in the knockout round, and the two sides are destined to decide the winner this season.
"The fitness of the team is still the same." Followed by Tang Hua, it was Dina, "The team's physical overdraft in February has not fully recovered yet, although the schedule this month is a little easier than in February, but it is only a little bit. The consumption of the main squad is still too great, especially Robben and David Silva, and next month's training plan needs to be adjusted in this regard. ”
Lin Sen nodded, indicating that he understood, physical affairs, Lin Sen has always been the shopkeeper, it should be said that until February, because Lin Sen has always adhered to the rotation system, Manchester City's physical condition is quite good, February is a turning point, a round of fifteen days and five games, what rotation system does not work, what's worse is that during that time, strong opponents one after another, there is no room for him to rotate on the rotation.
"Brian?" Linson turned his attention to assistant coach Brian Kidd.
Kidd smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't have much to say. Since serving as Linsen's assistant coach, unlike Tang Hua and Dina, who have their own duties, in addition to first-team work, Kidd is actually in charge of Manchester City's youth team, which is also the original intention of Manchester City to poach him from Portsmouth last summer. In the first team, Kidd's main job is to be responsible for the team's day-to-day training, in other words, Linson on the training ground.
This is also a "bad head" from Tapia, but Kidd doesn't care about it. The assistant coach, removing the assistant, is actually a head coach, in other words, the head coach will, he must be more or less able to know, which is why many assistant coaches can always "transfer" to the head coach subsequently. Kidd, who had been Ferguson's assistant for a long time, also walked this path, but it didn't go well.
Speaking of which, three people who have served as assistant coaches to Ferguson, after the "transfer", the starting point is good, but the development is not smooth, Kidd went to Blackburn Rovers after leaving, but he was fired after less than a year, Queiroz went to Real Madrid in one step, but then he had to "go back to the furnace and rebuild", now he is the head coach of the grape national team, but he did not stay long in his memory, but McLaren mixed well......
There is a model for the training plan, of course, each team will adjust it according to its own situation, Manchester City's training plan has also been adjusted several times this season, and what is done every month is just to make changes or adjustments to some of the details, although Tang Hua and Dina's speeches are brief, but this is based on the premise that they have already prepared the plan in writing, which is why Kidd can remain silent at this time.
Because what will happen next is a more detailed discussion of the rules, and that's when the experienced Kidd speaks.
After a little more than an hour, the meeting ended.
Lin Sen, who stretched his waist, on a whim, went out to eat together, and he invited a treat.
For this mention, Dina agreed with both hands, and Tang Hua did not object, only Kidd smiled and politely declined, and Lin Sen was not reluctant, unlike these singles, Kidd has his own family, and although there is a common language of football, the age gap between the two sides is there.
