Chapter 31: The winning streak
Lin Sen found it difficult to make the headlines, Malaga beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 away, what a good gimmick, but he soon found out that the headlines of the major newspapers were still not his, and this time, even he had to admit that the headlines of others were indeed better than his own.
Marca Headline: 2:1! Deportivo La Coruna, who is no longer super, defeated the previous champions, Real Madrid.
Daily Sports Headline: Unpopular! The newly launched Barcelona suffered an upset defeat 1-0 away to promoted Manumancia.
The Independent: Disaster Day for the Giants! In the first round of the league, the top four teams from last season did not have a win.
……
It's like making an appointment for a big start, not only Real Madrid and Barcelona, but also last season's third and fourth Villarreal and Sevilla did not start to win, but their discount is a little smaller than Real Madrid Barcelona, and they didn't lose. It is better to be happy alone than to be happy together, and if you are unlucky together, you are good friends. Soon, the teams found comfort in their respective opponents.
In an interview with the newspaper Ace after the game, Hill Jr. not only supported the head coach Resino, but also found an excuse for the team's defeat: due to the impact of the European Championship, Atletico Madrid's summer warm-up was not ideal, and many players did not return to their best condition, on the contrary, Malaga did not have such concerns, so it is completely understandable for the team to lose. As for the fact that many people saw the match as a showdown between the former and current managers of Atletico, he believes that one game will not decide anything at all, and he believes that Reshino will lead the team in the second leg to respond as it should be.
Lin Sen naturally didn't care what Hill Jr. said, Malaga Shun got three points, and he gave himself an explanation last season, which is important. As for little Hill covering his face and saying that it doesn't hurt at all, that's his freedom, just like the reporter guessed what his gesture meant at the press conference, he couldn't control it, and he couldn't control it.
He's in charge of his team.
Against Atletico Madrid, Málaga had a good overall performance, but if it were to say that Málaga had no problems, it would not be possible. In the final analysis, Lin Sen's short time at Atletico Madrid still played a big role. In football, the judgment of each team, although it can be analyzed from the number and video, but this is completely different from the knowledge obtained from the personal coaching, Málaga was able to beat Atletico Madrid, there is a reason that has to be mentioned, that is, Málaga's effective control of the two core figures of Atletico Madrid.
One is Raul Garcia. Raul Garcia has been an inconspicuous player in the Atletico team, but since his move from Osasuna to Atletico, Atletico have changed three coaches, including Linson, but he has been an indispensable figure in the midfield for only one reason, because this is a midfield with few weaknesses. Raul Garcia's debut position is a striker, but the most outstanding position is in the back, but the coach often arranges him in the position of the front midfield, people always like to call the kind of player who can play all positions on the side called a side dragon, from this aspect, Raul Garcia is a dragon in the middle, but, one is the wing, the other is the middle, purely from the range, which is more difficult to imagine. Recino dared to remove Assunção in the last game and let Raul Garcia alone in the middle, although it was a risky move, but it can also be seen how much he values Raul Garcia.
When coaching Atletico Madrid, Linson also valued Raul Garcia, and even used him as the fulcrum of the front court for a time, because of his judgment of the fighter. Therefore, how to deal with Raul Garcia, Linson's method is not to fight close to him, nor to focus on marking, but to deliberately give him space, let him control the ball, and then focus on blocking his passing lanes. As a result, in the last game, there was an atypical Raul Garcia who had a lot of time on the ball but had a very low pass success rate.
The other, without a doubt, is Sergio Aguero. In the last game of the Argentine golden boy, Linsen only instructed Gundogan to focus on the guard, but did not let him defend closely, because he knew that this was not a problem at all for Aguero, who was both technical and technical. Of course, you can't fly a kite to defend yourself against Argentinians. So, distance is crucial. It's too far away for you to catch up with him, too close and he's not a bulky striker. Málaga's conceded goal at the last moment was the consequence of Aguero's lack of distance, and if he could control the distance at that time, Aguero would not have had a chance to form a one-two with Forlan, let alone create a goal.
Regardless, the marking of Sergio Aguero in the last game was still a success, as you can't expect to be able to target him for 90 minutes.
It can be said that being able to stare these two people is the key to Atletico Madrid's not losing, but Linsen knows very well that the season is very long, and Malaga cannot always rely on marking to win games, and he cannot know every opponent's player so well. So, if Lin Sen wants to win a little more for granted, he has to reverse the role, which is to make others have to target his player.
Lin Sen knew that if there was no interference from himself, there would have been many people who had been snare into his account, and many people would have become "dangerous people" in the eyes of others, Lewandowski, Reuss, Isco, and Koke...... But now, these people are no longer in the original trajectory of their respective fame, and their fate is closely linked to Lin Sen.
If you marry a wife, you must treat it well, take the responsibility you should bear, do housework diligently at home, and you can't hook up when you go out, not to mention that Lin Sen is now marrying more than one "wife".
Therefore, if Lin Sen's main work before the season is to focus on the team's tactical system construction, tactical concept indoctrination and other team-level planning, then, next, how to ** this group of talented players under his own hands will become the focus, and this is destined to be a long process.
In fact, when the team first trained for the time, Lin Sen didn't have a little bit of luck in his heart, hoping that there would be so many glowing stars in this group of future stars, but after meeting, he was absolutely out of this mind, as he had told Royce before, no one is born to be a superstar.
Lin Sen's first target is the current physical trainer Ruiz, who is eager to make him a fat man.
The reason why Royce was preferred over others was many, with Royce personally and others as well.
Whether it is Isco or Koke, they are younger than Royce, what they need most in training now is some of the most basic things, these Lin Sen do not think that he can be more experienced than Tapia and others, what Lin Sen needs to do for the time being is just to provide them with a proper stage, so that their talents can bloom in time, but they still need patience from the harvest. As for Lewandowski, from the first time Linsen saw him, he knew that it was only a matter of time before the quiet Polish striker "evolved" into the future superstar who once sent Dortmund to the Champions League final almost single-handedly.
And the eighteen-year-old Royce is different, he is older than Isco and Koke, and smaller than Lewandowski, in other words, he is at a critical age when the style of the ball is set, Linson does not want the future "little rocket" to let Ruiz accidentally get a "dirt plane", although the ball lightning is not nothing, but after all, it is not a few.
On top of that, as far back as I can remember, Reus has always declared that he prefers the middle to the wing. In the eyes of many people, Royce, who is not as physically qualified as others, prefers to go to the middle of the most fierce confrontation, and it is his stubborn character that is at fault, but Lin Sen knows that stubbornness may exist, but it is definitely not the main reason. The middle of the field certainly means high confrontation, but it also means more touch opportunities, more room to play, and for Reus, a wide lane, too narrow.
Of course, playing on the wing or in the middle is not just a matter of changing positions, the requirements of the two positions are completely different. In this regard, Lin Sen obviously does not want to wait until Reus is tired of playing on the wing before preparing.
---------------
Schuster has had an extremely depressed summer. went on a blind date with Xi Shi and ended up with Dong Shi Dongfang, which is almost his feelings.
The so-called dream is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. President Calderón flickered for a summer, and did not flicker Ronaldo from Ferguson's men, but in the blink of an eye, at the last moment when the transfer market was closed, Real Madrid finally made a splash: Robinho transferred to Manchester City as the standard king. If he could swear, Schuster wouldn't mind ** once.
But his depression is not over, in the first game of the league, Deportivo gave him a direct opener. Fortunately, the competitors are very face-saving, and none of them are willing to win. Even Atletico Madrid, who made him helpless last season, lost at home to promoted Malaga, and it is said that the head coach of Malaga is the acting coach of Atletico last season, which is really retribution......
Schuster gloated about Atletico Madrid is not without reason, when he was a player, he had Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid in La Liga such a strange service route, and he couldn't understand the grievances of the two teams in Madrid, to be honest, Real Madrid has never regarded Atletico Madrid as a competitor, but Atletico Madrid has always regarded Real Madrid as a mortal enemy, this kind of mentality that I regard you like a floating cloud, but you treat me as an enemy, so that Real Madrid every time he faces Atletico Madrid, there is a feeling of helplessness, don't look at Real Madrid was the champion last season, and Atletico Madrid was unlucky, In the two meetings between the two teams last season, one draw and one loss, Schuster's Real Madrid did not take advantage of Atletico Madrid, who played hard from the beginning.
As for Malaga, who beat Atletico Madrid in the first round, Schuster didn't pay much attention to it, and was just promoted.
And then.
In the second round of the league, Malaga defeated Athletic Bilbao 1:0 at home.
In the third round of the league, Malaga beat Almeria 2-0 away.
And then.
In the third round of the league, Malaga's home opponent, Real Madrid.
