Lin Sen couldn't laugh or cry a little.

Not because of the expected repurchase of Cork by Atletico Madrid, but because the price proposed by Atletico Madrid to buy back is not 2.5 million, but 1 million. More because the person that Atletico Madrid wants to take from Malaga is not only Koke, but also a second person.

Gabi.

Like Livermore, Linson doesn't know what kind of medicine Atletico Madrid's sporting director Pitage is selling in his gourd.

Perhaps, because Malaga previously bought Cork for a measly $200,000, Pitacci thinks that a five-fold appreciation in just over half a season is a pretty high price? Or perhaps, Pitaci thinks that Gabi, a former Atletico Madrid player, should not be able to refuse Atletico's call, so he thinks that the price of five million can already impress Malaga to release him?

Maybe, just maybe.

Linsen doesn't think that Pitacci's offer that will obviously not be accepted by Malaga is just his own assumption, and although he didn't have much communication with the sporting director when he was at Atletico Madrid, he knew that someone who could be the director of football at a club like Atletico Madrid was not so naïve. So, what's the reason?

Lin Sen quickly thought of a possibility.

January 1st, New Year's Day.

Linsen boarded the flight back to Spain as scheduled, with the squad returning to training on January 2, as La Liga will be lit up again in three days' time, with Malaga facing Sporting Gijón, who are currently fourth from bottom in the league above the relegation zone. For Malaga, the second half of the league will be a real test. Because in the second half, no team will despise Malaga psychologically, and Málaga's style of play will be more familiar to their opponents.

As soon as he returned to Spain, Lin Sen went directly to the headquarters to find Livermore, despite the fatigue of the journey. Seeing Lin Sen, Livermore was not polite, and went straight to the point.

Yesterday, Atletico Madrid was still the only "customer" of Malaga, and this winter transfer market has just opened, Livermore's hands have received nearly ten offers, involving six main players in the current Malaga team, of which Lewandowski is the "hardest hit area", the Polish striker who scored ten goals in sixteen league games is currently the third highest scorer list, second only to Messi and Higuain, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the most tempting piece of cake in the transfer market. In addition to this, Gabi, Gundogan, Royce, Rosario...... There are clubs who have expressed interest, and of course, most of them are still in the inquiry stage, and it is worth mentioning that Malaga has also received an offer from Germany.

The club that made the offer is Borussia Dortmund, which claims to have the best home stadium in Europe, and the old German club is gradually coming out of the economic crisis, and this season under the leadership of the new head coach Jurgen Klopp, Dortmund has sent a very clear signal to the entire Bundesliga and even Europe, a signal of recovery. And the person who has his eyes on the future Klopp is none other than Reus, who has just been let go by Dortmund in the summer, and they offer two million to try to buy Reuss back......

After listening to Livermore's words, Lin Sen had a little headache: this is only the first day of the transfer market, is this the rhythm of planning to carve up Malaga?

It's not that Lin Sen is really afraid that Málaga, which he has built up with great difficulty, will really be dug up in the middle of the season, to be honest, except for Atletico Madrid who can only be beaten passively by digging Coke Malaga, other transfers, as long as the other party is not crazy enough to use the minimum termination clause, Malaga occupies the initiative, so compared to this, Lin Sen is more worried about the mentality of the players.

Not to mention how much impact transfers like Sevilla poaching Gundogan and Villarrea poaching Rosario can have on players, Atletico Madrid poaching Koke, Gabi, Dortmund poaching Reus, these two clubs are playing the favor card, and favors have always been a headache factor in the transfer market, even if Malaga's attitude is resolute at this time, it cannot eliminate the impact of such a transfer on the player's mentality.

Cork's entanglement Lin Sen has seen it himself, and now, there is actually another Royce.

"What's the club's plan?" Lin Sen pressed his temple and asked, the nearly ten-hour flight, coupled with the fact that it seemed to be a bunch of things suddenly, suddenly made his mind a little confused.

"Naturally, they all refused." Livermore's answer was quick.

In fact, after the La Liga chairman's summit, Little Sans and Livermore had an exchange on the winter transfer market, obviously the summit gave Little Sans a lot of feelings, and his words Livermore summed it up in one sentence: don't take the initiative to sell people. Málaga's choice of such a transfer idea in the winter is reasonable and reasonable, the team has an excellent first half of the schedule, is walking on the sunny road, everyone understands the principle of maximizing benefits, other teams may be really thirsty, but Malaga can't do anything at this time.

"What about Cork and Gabi's agent? What's going on? Lin Sen nodded and asked again.

"Not yet." Livermore shook his head, "Maybe still doing the player's job." ”

"It's so convenient." Hearing Livermore's words, Lin Sen sneered.

Contact the player before reaching an agreement with the club to which the player belongs, although this is an act that FIFA has always expressly prohibited, but in reality, players use strikes and other means to force their club to reach an agreement with their favorite club, but it is not uncommon, so, as long as the method is appropriate, pay attention to concealment when stealing, remember to wipe your mouth after eating, the so-called ban, many times is actually just a decoration.

Of course, Atletico Madrid can't leave Linsen with any evidence that they are making contact with players past the Malaga club, but Linsen knows that it is too easy for Atletico Madrid to play this trick in the transfer of Cork and even Gabi, because these two players are both from Atletico Madrid, and they are also obsessed with Atletico Madrid.

"Who made us just a little club, admit it." Livermore naturally understood the meaning of Lin Sen's words, and said with a wry smile.

Recognize? Are you kidding?

Lin Sen waved his hand and was about to leave, but when he left, Livermore explained again, saying that Balkase had something to look for him. So Lin Sen had to stare at the fatigue to find Balcase, who has now become Malaga's "universal glue", and met only to know that there were several guests from China who were ready to interview Lin Sen, and Balcase wanted to ask for his opinion.

When he learned that the people who came were Zhou Feng and others who he had met when he was at Atletico Madrid, Lin Sen nodded happily, and the time arrangement was naturally handed over to Balkase to decide.

Subsequently, Lin Sen returned to his residence and handed himself directly to the warm bed.

The next day, the team resumed training, and Linsen's previous worries were verified, not only Koke and Royce, but also several other players who were rumored to have transfer scandals were generally a little wrong, and even the steady Gabi, the color on the top of his head was also uncertain, and he seemed to be preoccupied.

Thinking that the originally good atmosphere in the team had not only not gotten better after a holiday, but had actually become a little gloomy and miserable, Lin Sen was a little depressed and a little annoyed. But obviously, he can't let this atmosphere develop like this, just kidding, the winter transfer period is a full month, and a new round of league games is just around the corner.

Therefore, Lin Sen simply gathered all the team members together to lecture, and like Shi Shan he met the day before yesterday, he was also ready to have a frank confrontation.

"Two things. First things first, it's great to see you all here again. Lin Sen gathered the team, then stretched out two fingers from his right hand and said in as calm a tone as possible.

"The second thing, I've noticed that some of you don't seem to have very high feelings, and I think we all know why. That's right, the club has received several offers......" Lin Sen said this, his gaze did not deliberately look at anyone, but Cork had already lowered his head.

"For me, I think it's easy to solve. I don't want to let any of you go, because we had a really good first half of the season, better than a lot of people thought, so I want everyone to stay and go after some glory together. Unfortunately, I can't speak for you, so some of you may leave, I don't deny that, but as the manager of this team, I have to say one thing first, and that is, as I said before, the attitude of training, the decision to play. I hope that, at least on the training ground, you should forget about everything that has nothing to do with training. That's all I have to say, uh, by the way, I wish you all a Happy New Year! ”

End of the lecture.

Effect? Passable.

In Linson's eyes, there were only two players who listened, Lewandowski and Gabi. But it doesn't matter, Lin Sen has at least calmed himself down, there is a saying that everyone is subject to the fate of heaven, Lin Sen has been scoffing at it before, and always feels that this is an excuse for not working hard enough, but now, he knows that this sentence can at least give people who have worked hard a reason to calm down.

Since the holiday had just ended, the morning was a resumption of training, and the team was quickly taken away by Ruiz and several other physical trainers, leaving Lin Sen to slowly watch the team leave with uneven steps......

Two days later, at home to Sporting Gijón, Malaga suffered their fifth draw of the season, 2-2, and were overtaken by Sevilla in the league to move one place into third.

The next day, Malaga officially announced the acceptance of Villarreal's offer for central defender Rosario, and the Portuguese who had been playing for Malaga for a season and a half officially entered the countdown. At the same time, Malaga once again rejected Atletico Madrid's offer of six million for Gabi, whose agent, García Giron, openly stated in an interview with the media that his player has no intention of leaving Malaga in the winter.
