When Balkase, who was also the press officer, appeared in front of Lin Sen with a newspaper, Lin Sen actually knew what Balkase wanted to say.

He has read the newspaper, he has also seen Angel Gonzalez's "provocative" remarks, Alan Hansen did say that back then, and it was said on the BBC program, and that year, Manchester United won the double, his words have also become the best embellishment for the birth of Manchester United's 92 golden generation, Manchester United fans even put up slogans in the stands to reproduce Alan Hansen's words, of course, in a mocking tone.

Angel Gonzalez clearly thinks Linsen is not qualified to be compared to Ferguson, there is no problem with that, Linsen is indeed not on the same level as Ferguson right now, but he thinks that under Lin's leadership, Malaga is unlikely to be relegated, obviously, this is too categorical. Many people think that Angel has a grudge against Lin Sen's speech at the press conference, but in Lin Sen's view, this is not the case.

On the contrary, after seeing the newspaper, Lin Sen even admired the reporter a little.

For many journalists, this kind of thing is used to lose, and Angel's article looks provocative and seems to leave no way back, but in fact, no matter what Malaga's results are this season, for Angel, there is no difference at all, and if he wins, he will become Paul, the octopus who has not yet appeared, and he can naturally brag about it. If he loses, Lin Sen and Malaga will most likely help him with publicity.

Because if you want to know the answer, you have to wait at least until the second half of the league, and that's already next year.

Fame? Journalists survive only on exposure, not fame. Moreover, football is an inherently uncertain factor.

Angel has a good plan, but there is a premise, that is, Linsen or Malaga has to take the move first. In this regard, Lin Sen was not interested anyway. On the contrary, Balkase wanted to make a statement to the newspaper As, in his opinion, even if there is freedom of speech, Angel's remarks are too rude for the Malaga club, what does it mean to not be able to keep the grade? Has the season started?

For the angry Balkase, Lin Sen just shook his head, just told him to ignore it, and really didn't pay attention to it anymore. He has more important things than these off-the-field factors.

On August 24, Malaga officially confirmed the squad for the new season, with 22 players on the list, one more player than before, the player who was not announced until the day before the list was confirmed, and Malaga fans are no strangers to Málaga The Portuguese player Duda, who used to play for Malaga.

After the completion of the two phases of recruitment, Linson announced that the transfer market in Malaga had been closed, and this was indeed the case, and in the following period, Malaga appeared unusually quiet in the transfer market. Although Linson told Livermore at the time that he would consider bringing in one or two midfielders if possible, in fact Linson had already decided that there would be only 21 first-team players for the new season. On the one hand, it is because Malaga is indeed shy, and on the other hand, the team is indeed not short of people, although 21 players seem to be a little small, but for Málaga who do not have any continental competitions involved in the new season, it is actually enough.

However, Linson didn't expect that Livermore really found two candidates for himself, one is Spanish star Fernando, Fernando, who played for Betis last season, is a free agent, and there is no transfer fee to sign him. The other is Duda, who plays for Sevilla. After much consideration, Lin Sen finally decided to have Duda and gave up on Fernando.

The reason is very simple, although Duda can only join on loan, but he has more feelings for Malaga after starting his La Liga career, which makes Linsen not have to worry about his motivation to play, and compared with Fernando, who has a relatively single position, Duda can be called a versatile player in the front field, and he is the kind of player who belongs from the bottom line to the bottom line on the left side, which can enrich the team's options.

Of course, Malaga is not impossible to sign Fernando at the same time, but the most important reason for Linson's determination to give up Fernando is his demand for a contract. Fernando is a free agent, and the salary requirements are high, but for Malaga, if he agrees to his salary request, it means that he will inevitably break the team's current maximum salary ceiling, which Linson does not want to see, not that he wants to save money for Malaga, but he knows the team's ability to shine, and Fernando's salary will become very, very conspicuous.

As soon as the team list is confirmed, it means that the footsteps of the new season are already faintly heard, and the targeted training for Atletico Madrid has officially entered the training schedule in Malaga.

Lin Sen is very satisfied with the current atmosphere in the team.

is not arrogant, not impatient, neither humble nor arrogant, and is quite willing to dare to pull the emperor off the horse as if he were at home.

That's right, no one is optimistic about Malaga, even Malaga's own fans, they don't have much hope for their team to win the first round, so, barefoot, are you still afraid of wearing shoes? Anyone can look down on Málaga, but Málaga itself can't look down on itself. Everything else can be bowed, but with momentum, Malaga must hold its head high.

For Linson himself, he has no reason to fear Atletico Madrid.

Lin Sen is familiar with most of Atletico Madrid's players, and he can even predict Recino's starting lineup with no more than two players, except for the new players who signed this summer, he can easily say the technical characteristics of each player in Atletico Madrid, including some of their small habits on the field. That's the advantage!

Is it okay to resino? He may not even know the temperament of his own players, let alone Malaga.

Lin Sen was equally familiar with Recino, at least no less than Resinoh was familiar with himself.

He knew that Recino liked to play pressing, and it just so happened that Malaga was also an oppressive play, because Lin Sen himself liked this style of play. It's just that there are many kinds of oppressive play, Lin Sen calls his oppressive style of play soft pressure, because he does not demand that his players can defeat the opponent in terms of strength and body, he only emphasizes one advantage: numerical advantage, only on this basis, Recino wants to make Atletico Madrid accustomed to pressing, has he asked Aguero? Have you asked Fran? Asked...... It's better that Recino has asked, otherwise, Malaga will tell him what is an oppressive style of play.

Lin Sen also knows that Recino likes to let the defense line premise, which is not surprising, and the most taboo thing about oppressive play is the disconnection of the three lines. Yes, it's the third-line disconnect that once made Linson have to use a few games to improve Atletico. Therefore, the premise of the defensive line is essentially an extension of the oppressive style of play. So, Lin Sen plans to give Recino a gift.

The name of this gift is Longdong.

August 31.

Cerezo arrived at the club as usual, walked into the headquarters, nodded his head to the club staff along the way, and as he was about to get to his office, he bumped into little Hill.

"Good morning, Miguel." Although the two often wrestled wrists on the board, Cerezo still greeted him warmly.

"Good morning. Enrique. Little Hill nodded and smiled, "You're still so punctual." ”

"Today is the first day of the new season and I hope the team can get off to a good start." Cerezo walked to his office, took out his key, and said as he opened the door.

"Abel's summer table is good, and I'm sure it's the same today." Hill Jr. said confidently, "What's more, his opponent is just an amateur coach." ”

"Huh." Cerezo smiled and did not answer.

"I'll see you later. Enrique. Seeing that Enrique had already opened the door, Little Hill waved his hand and said.

"I'll see you later."

Cerezzo replied, then walked into the office and closed the door.

Recino woke up early today.

It's not because the team needs to train this morning, on the contrary, because of the afternoon game, the team didn't have any training in the morning. But he still got up a full two hours earlier than usual.

The opponent is Malaga, and he and Atletico have been preparing for this opponent for a whole week, during which assistant coach Juan has given him a lot of advice, most of which are about Linsen, what attention to detail, what attention to defense, what pursuit of efficiency...... At first, Recino still attached great importance to it, but slowly, he felt that Juan's construction was a bit chicken, not because he had any opinions about Juan, but because his construction was really too much, and everything needed to have a light focus, and there was actually not much difference between building and not building.

Atletico can't have just one opponent in Málaga this season, and he only has one week to prepare for the game against Linsen, so there is so much time, where it is possible to do so much targeted training. However, Resinau tried to respect Juan's opinion, because he had also watched Linson's game, and he knew very well that Juan's words were not false.

For Recino, the board of directors has given him the task of bringing Atletico to next season's Champions League. The new season has just started and no one has put any pressure on him for this game and there is no need to put pressure on him. It was just an ordinary match, and Recino had been telling him that in his mind, but every time he said it, he seemed to feel a little heavier pressure.

Because every time, he still subconsciously thinks of a result, what if Atletico can't win at home?

The surname Lin is really haunted.

Recino felt a little helpless in his heart, but what should come is still coming after all.

At 19 o'clock local time on August 31, Spain, the 0809 La Liga season kicked off, and Recino's Atletico Madrid sat at home Calderón to face the Malaga team led by Linson.
