Time does change a lot of things.

Lin Sen rarely communicates with his father, whether it is the past when the relationship is average, or the nearly two years of relaxation. On the one hand, this is because of the relationship between the two personalities, on the other hand, it is also because Lin Sen does rarely need his father to help him "solve his doubts", and his father, who is busy with work, although he is not ignorant of Lin Sen, rarely takes the initiative to talk to Lin Sen about this.

It's just that this time it's a little different, after Lin Sen came back, his father, who usually rarely leaves his work, made an exception and asked for a day off, and put up a table of good dishes, most of which Lin Sen naturally likes to eat, which made Lin Sen a little surprised, and there was a lot more talk between meals, although most of the topics were still related to his work, but his mother, who had been nagging for nearly two years, didn't say anything this time, and most of the time she watched and listened to the conversation between father and son with a smile.

"Dad, I don't know much about the mechanism in China, but it seems that your age is not yet the age of retirement, right?" Talking about his father's work, Lin Sen thought of a doubt in his heart, so he asked.

"Hmm." The father nodded, and said calmly, "It stands to reason that it is." ”

"Then ......" Lin Sen frowned, as he said, he doesn't know much about the domestic mechanism, but this does not mean that he is completely blind to this, he still knows very well what early retirement means in China for people in the system.

"Don't overthink it." Father obviously knew very well what Lin Sen was thinking, and he smiled and said, "I asked for it myself." ”

Lin Sen was stunned for a moment, and then, without waiting for him to ask why. My father had already said slowly, "I've been wandering outside for decades, and although I've been used to it for a long time, I'm still in a foreign country after all. In the past, there was a burden that had to be carried, but now this burden is not so heavy and not so necessary. It's almost time to put it down. I talked to your grandfather about it. ”

Lin Sen nodded silently, and then suddenly asked, "I heard that my cousin is going to go up a step at the end of the year?" ”

"Hmm." Father hummed lightly, and then smiled, "It turns out that according to your grandfather's idea, your whole generation would have to take this path." Who knows that each of you has your own ambitions, and now it's just your cousin a last thought, but that's fine, no. It's good. ”

"And what do you go on?"

"Go on......" The father turned his head to look at his mother, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and his eyes softened.

Looking at his father's gaze, Lin Sen's heart seemed to warm up.

"Speaking of which, I feel that you owe the most over the years." The father withdrew his gaze from his mother's body, then glanced at Lin Sen, and seeing that Lin Sen seemed to want to speak, he waved his hand to ask Lin Sen not to speak for the time being, "You don't have to comfort me." I'm not a good father, I'm well aware of that, and I know you're in a good state of mind. I'm glad to be alone, but being alone doesn't mean that you won't have fewer difficulties because you have a good attitude. ”

Lin Sen fell silent.

Father finally told this matter, if there is any estrangement between father and son, then only this matter is left, Lin Sen originally thought that this matter would be left to time to fade. But his father finally decided to say it to his face, and Lin Sen didn't know why his father did it. I only know, when my father said it. Looking at his mother, whose eyes were red again, Lin Sen's heart seemed to have a certain pimple that was quietly dissolving.

The result is not equal to the process, what has been done, what has been encountered, some can be laughed off, and some will be buried deep in the heart, the two seem to be the same, but in fact how can they be the same?

"Dad, it's all over." After a long time, Lin Sen said slowly.

"yes, it's all gone." My father smiled and said, "Tell me about you, go back to Spain?" Or stay in the UK? ”

"It's not decided yet." Lin Sen hesitated and said.

Knowing the son is more than the father. Although Lin Sen's father didn't communicate much with him, Lin Sen's father could easily see the hesitation in Lin Sen's words.

"What? What's the problem? Father smiled.

Lin Sen hesitated again, and then finally briefly talked about his concerns and thoughts.

"It's a hard choice." When he heard this, his father said, "Do you want to hear my opinion?" ”

Lin Sen nodded.

The father thought for a moment, as if to organize his own language, and after a moment he said, "If it had been ten years ago, I would have advised you to stay in England, but now, so to speak, I don't want you to be a second me." ”

Lin Sen was still silent.

"Dreams are a beautiful thing, it's easy to overshadow something, something you should value. When you are young, dreams are indeed important because they will lead you to the right path. But you're not young anymore, it's not that you don't need to dream, it's just that there is one thing you should remember more than dreams, and that is responsibility. ”

'I don't really understand the mentality of the fans, but I think it's right that you don't want to go back to Madrid, it's not fair to them. But on the other hand, we Chinese have always had a saying, called loyalty and filial piety, if you consider the two of us, then you don't have to worry, your mother and I are about to return to China, not bad this year. But Boya is the one who wants to live with you for the rest of her life, and you have to consider her thoughts. ”

Speaking of this, my father suddenly sighed and said with a wry smile, "Someone has to make a sacrifice, doesn't it?" ”――

Night.

Lin Sen, who was lying on the bed, looked at the ceiling quietly, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, because his father's words kept echoing in his mind.

Maybe it's because Lin Sen is so big that he said so much to his father for the first time, or maybe it's because his father's words are really deafening, or maybe it's both, as early as the first time he left Manchester City, Lin Sen was actually confused about his future, at that time, he was undoubtedly standing at the peak of his coaching career, however, standing at the top of the mountains and seeing the mountains, he suddenly lost the ability to continue climbing, as if facing a game that had been cleared, suddenly boring.

It was in this situation that Lin Sen announced his departure from Manchester City, followed by a year of rest, plus marriage, so that he temporarily forgot about it, and then Mubarak invited him to be the manager, and Lin Sen also returned to Manchester City.

There is actually one sentence in my father's words that is easy to overlook, but it is the easiest to remember.

If it was ten years ago.

Yes, if it was ten years ago, there is no doubt that the current choice is not a choice at all, Lin Sen will simply follow his heart's choice to say no to Real Madrid, and then, his parents will be relieved to say that they understand his choice, Boya will also say with a gentle smile that he made the right choice, and in the eyes of all Manchester City fans, Lin Sen will also become a representative of loyalty.

However, my father also said that there must always be a sacrifice to be made.

Of course, Lin Sen can make himself a perfect coach, perfect enough to be worshiped at the table, but this does not change one thing, that is, behind Lin Sen, someone has made silent sacrifices for him, just like his mother has stood silently behind her father for decades.

In the final analysis, the name Real Madrid, of course, occupies a certain proportion in this choice, but in fact it is only because it appeared at the right time, if you change clubs, maybe the choice will be better, but it can't change the essence of the matter, that is, my decision, is it my decision, or our decision?

"It was a decision I made with my family."

For the first time, Lin Sen finally realized the actual weight of this easily overlooked sentence when many managers and players joined a new team in the past.

Ancelotti finally got out of class.

On the second day of Linsen's arrival in Madrid, Real Madrid officially held a press conference to announce that Ancelotti would no longer serve as the head coach of Real Madrid, and Florentino also said that the new manager of Real Madrid now has a goal, and I believe it will be announced soon.

The Italian is very open to leaving Real Madrid, and of course, he will inevitably be asked what he thinks about his possible successor, Linsen, in this regard, Ancelotti is like gold, just politely said that Linsen is a good coach, if he can become the head coach of Real Madrid, then I wish him good luck.

Perhaps because the media has been hyped up for a long time for the departure of the Italians, when Ancelotti really left, there was no sense of impact when the first departure scandal appeared, and the media, which was accustomed to "liking the new and hating the old", quickly aimed at Linsen, who came to Spain.

But to their surprise, in their eyes, it was clear that Lin Sen, who came to meet with Real Madrid, only stayed in Madrid for one day and left. Malaga.

What's going on?

Nothing.

As in Spain, although the outside media always liked to involve him in every step of the way, Lin Sen just followed his own schedule, saw his parents, and then stopped by to see his old friends in Malaga, including Tapia and Sans Jr.

Then, right in Malaga, Linson received another call from Mendes, and this time, Linsen didn't say no.

Two days later, when Linsen returned to Madrid, under Mendes' arrangement, Linsen and Florentino officially met. (To be continued)
