Linson seems to have "forgotten" about Cork.

After Cork confirmed his departure, Livermore expected that Linson would soon give him a new name, just like he had done in the summer, but Linson never moved, as if he had no intention of finding a replacement for Cork at all.

Of course, this is not because there is no money, Rosario's 4.5 million, plus Coke's 2.5 million, although Malaga is very financially constrained, but Xiao Sans did not deduct the team's transfer fee this time, that is to say, now Linsen's disposable transfer fee is a full 7 million, which does not seem to be much, but compared with the summer, it is definitely a lot.

Therefore, after waiting for a few days, Livermore had to take the initiative to "ask for someone", because on the surface, he is still in charge of the transfer work of Malaga, and the fans will be unhappy if he sells people but does not buy them. However, at this time, Lin Sen told him: It doesn't necessarily have to be recruited.

Of course, it is impossible for Lin Sen not to find a replacement for Cork, the iron-clad battalion and the head coach is like the watchman of this battalion. When a soldier leaves, he must immediately find a replacement for the soldier, otherwise, there will be a hole in the camp, and the hole will destroy the entire camp. It's just that this substitution is more tactical, rather than as simple as filling in numbers.

With Rosario and Coke gone, Málaga's first team now has twenty men, a number that should be enough for a team without any European commitments, as long as there are no serious injuries. Rosario's vacancy was originally planned to be to dig up potential internally, in fact, after "having money", Lin Sen did not have the idea of one person, that is, the future Brazilian captain Thiago Silva, but thinking of competitors, Lin Sen could only give up in the end. As for the vacancy of Cork, Linson did not rule out the possibility of recruitment, but it was not necessarily based on Cork.

Winter transfers are different from summer transfers, just as midfield adjustments can never be compared to pre-match preparation, the biggest difference between the two is actually the preparation time. In the summer transfer, players have a few months to settle into the team, while in the winter transfer, this time may only be a few days. It is impossible for Lin Sen to cram a newcomer into his main lineup at this time.

Of course, if there is one more choice, Lin Sen has no reason to object. Since Livermore insisted on a name, Linson simply gave Livermore an impossible task: Di Maria.

Lin Sen chose to let Royce come to Cork's position, just as he had planned, and then, he soon ushered in a tester.

Malaga takes on Real Betis away.

Cork watched the match from his home in Madrid with mixed feelings. Just a week ago, he was wearing the Malaga jersey. And now, he is a member of Atletico Madrid, about to wear a shirt that he is more familiar with, and compared to the calm departure half a year ago, this time, it is clear that he can't be in a complicated mood.

For Malaga, Cork does not feel guilty, because he did not do anything to breach the contract, and for the fans of Malaga, Koke is more regretful, because they have supported their team and players from beginning to end, including Cork. There was only one person who made Cork feel guilty, and that person was Lin Sen.

In fact, when Linsen came to him alone, although Linsen didn't say anything clearly, he actually knew very well what his manager wanted the most, and Cork was silent for a long time, and it was not entirely because he couldn't choose between leaving and staying, he was still hesitating to tell Linsen one thing: his father, hoping that he would return to Atletico Madrid.

At that time, the winter transfer window had not yet officially opened, and it was clear that his father would suddenly say that to him, leaving only the possibility that Atletico Madrid had already made contact with his father, and perhaps even made some kind of assurance.

Atletico Madrid, his father, and his own wishes, Lin Sen didn't know that the balance had been out of balance at that time.

Cork still didn't say it after all, and there was no need to repeat what happened next, Cork remained silent from beginning to end, and then, a qiē just happened naturally.

At this time, the sound coming from the TV suddenly increased......

From the start of the game to the present, there have been only a handful of times when the live camera on the TV screen has been shown to Linson, once before the game has even started, once when Real Betis opened the deadlock, and then, now, Reuss cut inside on the left to help Malaga equalise, and then the shy German ran to the sideline to high-five Linsen in celebration......

Cork suddenly felt a little dazed.

In this game, Reus played exactly where he was originally in the Malaga team. That is, Royce is his replacement.

However, it wasn't his replacement goal that left Koke at a loss, but Royce's goal that reminded him of whether he was still Linson's first choice if he was still on the team.

Due to the transfer just now, a lot of things need to be dealt with, Atletico Madrid gave him three days off to deal with some personal matters, naturally, he also missed this round of La Liga matches, the day before yesterday, when he went back to Malaga to pack his personal belongings, he said goodbye to his "former teammates" in Malaga on the training ground, the atmosphere of parting was not solemn, the team's pistachio Rondon was even joking with him, and Gabi, the big brother who might even return to Atletico Madrid with him, wished him good luck, which was also the farewell word that most of his teammates said to him.

It seems that everyone is looking away from him.

As for Lin Sen, Lin Sen's communication with him did not take more than a minute from beginning to end, because Lin Sen just patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then said a word: stay confident and be patient.

That's all.

Confidence is the word that Linson said to him the most on the training ground after coming to Malaga. Patience was the mantra Linson gave him when he left Atletico last season.

When Cork left Malaga and returned to Madrid, he didn't feel much confidence, but he knew that patience was a must. Although Pitacci has repeatedly assured him that he will be an important part of Atletico Madrid.

Koke suddenly picked up the remote control and changed the channel, which was the same live broadcast of a football match, but the live broadcast was the game he should have paid more attention to: Atletico Madrid at home against Athletic Bilbao.

Coincidentally, the current score in this game is the same as the match between Malaga and Betis, which is 1-1.

Koke took note of Atletico Madrid's midfield starters: Raul Garcia, Assunção, Simao, Maxi Rodriguez.

Who can he replace?

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and Cork soon saw his father, Merodio, leading a man in a suit and leather shoes.

"Cork, this is Mr. Espiesua." After coming in, Merodio introduced the man he brought in to Koke, "You should thank him for giving him a lot of advice on the contract negotiation with Atletico Madrid. ”

"Hello, lad." Espisuria looked very easy-going, and after Merodio finished introducing him, he took the initiative to smile and walk over and stretch out his hand.

"Hello." Cork stood up and shook his hand.

"Mr. Espisua's an agent, I think maybe it's time for you to ask an agent to take care of it for you." After shaking hands, Merodio finally explained why he had brought Espisua with him.

Chaparo Linson is no stranger, because it was this veteran coach who gave him his second defeat at Atletico last season, but this time, Linson does not intend to continue to lose to him. Real Betis still plays quickly, and Linson's strategy in this game is actually similar to that against Valencia, simply put, it is to grasp the weakness of the opponent's wing.

Chaparro, who has always liked to bully people quickly, soon tasted the bitterness of being treated in his own way, and Argentine defender Monzon did not anticipate Reus's speed, and Reus helped Malaga fill the opening hole due to lack of concentration, and then, ten minutes later, he assisted Robert Lewandowski to score and put the score in the lead.

Seeing Lewandowski score a goal, Chaparo on the sidelines felt helpless.

He also praised the Polish striker before the game, with the previous rumors of Real Betis's intention, the conspiracy and conspiracy together, but he didn't expect to fail to achieve the effect of shaking the opponent's mentality, look at Lewandowski's celebration after the goal, it is clear that he can't wait to kill Real Betis, which is like a player who has a scandal with Betis.

Chaparo turned his head to look at Lin Sen, who was "still young" compared to last season, and had to sigh in his heart: Young is good.

Real Betis, who was leading to falling behind at home, played a suicidal attack even more desperately, and the hammer deal on the two wings became bigger and bigger, while Linson took advantage of the situation to replace Reuss, who was declining in physical fitness, and replaced Isco, not prepared to defend it at all, because he knew that he only needed to score one more goal, and the game would be completely out of suspense.

When Royce was off the field, Lin Sen deliberately walked over and shook his hand.

The young man was indeed competitive, and he passed and shot in this game, almost single-handedly directing the reversal of Malaga, and a kind of Cheng dù was also helping Lin Sen "forget" Coke.

In the 85th minute, Malaga made a successful steal on the wing, Duda sent a long pass, Lewandowski gave the ball to Isco on the other side, Isco received the ball and formed a one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper, calmly crossed the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the empty goal.

3:1！

Lin Sen put his hand in his pocket, as if he had put three points in his pocket, he didn't look at what color Chaparo had on the top of his head at this time, but he believed that the other party had heard what he wanted to say to him.

This time, I win, you lose.
