This is no longer the Atletico Madrid team that Lin Sen is familiar with.

Even from the perspective of the lineup, most of Lin Sen's familiar faces are still there, and even the main lineup has not changed much, but for a head coach, different tactics mean earth-shaking changes.

There is no doubt that Flores is an excellent coach, not to mention his previous coaching achievements, Linsen, who took over Atletico Madrid halfway, knows very well that although the league record is not very good, it is no accident that Flores, who also took over in the middle of the game, can bring Atletico Madrid to two finals.

After taking over Atletico Madrid this season, Flores' most obvious transformation of Atletico Madrid was in the defensive line, ending the chaotic defense of the Recino era, dismantling Pablo and Perea, the former best central defender combination in La Liga, and then promoting Domingos and fixing the Czech Ujfalusi in the right wing-back position, it is with this new defensive line, coupled with Forlan's flash at key moments, that Atletico Madrid was able to advance all the way in the Copa del Rey and Europa League.

Of course, for Linsen, tomorrow's game, there is another face in Atletico Madrid's defense that he will be familiar with, that is, when he single-handedly promoted the goalkeeper De Gea to the first team, after Linsen left Atletico Madrid, De Gea was once sent back to the youth team, but this season, he ushered in another opportunity, especially after Flores took office, he and Asenjo became the double insurance of the goalkeeper position of Atletico Madrid, and Asenjo was injured unexpectedly in the game in the last round of the league, That made the 19-year-old almost locked up a starting XI for this game.

When it comes to De Gea, one has to mention Kok.

Koke, who returned to Atletico last season, was given a chance to start, but after Flores changed the formation to a four-four-two, and the two wings were identified as Simão and Reyes, even the former captain Maxi Rodriguez had to find another way to survive, and Koke was also affected, although he has played a lot this season, but most of the time he has come off the bench. Merely. For the eighteen-year-old, there is still a long way to go, and he does not need to rush at all.

In short, in tomorrow's game, Lin Sen will face an unfamiliar Atletico team, but he will also meet many familiar faces-

It was on the afternoon of May 13 at the Northern Bank Arena.

Even if Linson has closed the locker room door so tightly, even if the number of fans on both sides is limited to less than half, it is not surprising that he still can't stop the singing from the stadium stands. For both teams, coming here means that they have made history.

The singing was so clear, and because the locker room was so quiet.

Lin Sen had finished saying the words of "bewitching" people's hearts, and now he was standing in front of a tactical board that had been drawn in a mess and making the final targeted arrangements for the players.

"You must remember that Fran must be close to him, and don't give him a chance to shoot from a distance, at least, not let him shoot from a distance easily. And Aguero. He doesn't have to be close, but when he gets the ball, here, here, and here. There must be at least three points to form a wrapper for him......"

"Luis, you have only one main task in the first half, and that is to find the opponent's Dominguez to fight ......"

……

The so-called targeted arrangement. In fact, it is the process of grabbing pigtails and hiding them.

Defensively, Lin Sen's method of hiding pigtails is to stare at one and put one at the other, and it is Forlan who is staring. It was Aguero who put it. Because Forlan can't let go, as long as he is given space, whether it's a long-range shot or a playmaker, he can pose a threat to Manchester City. And Aguero can't be stared, or rather, it's not that he can't be stared, but it's difficult, Aguero doesn't look tall but has unusually flexible feet, it's very difficult to keep an eye on it thoroughly, so it's better to use a containment method to be safe.

And on offense, the pigtail that Lin Sen wants to catch is the opponent's young central defender Domingos, who will be twenty-one years old in two days, Dominguez is still playing for Atletico Madrid's B team last season, and this season under Recino was originally just a substitute, but Flores became his Bole, he not only squeezed out Pablo, but also squeezed out Juanito who transferred from Real Betis, occupying the position of the main central defender, it should be said that the young man is good, and he has also become another new hope in the eyes of Atletico Madrid fans.

It's always good to have hope, but not all hope can be realized.

Adopting Kidd's proposal, Linson put his "hope" Harvey Martinez on the bench, and Flores openly put his hope on the final field, so Linson naturally didn't mind testing the opponent's hope.

With Suarez, to Dominguez-

After arranging the tactics and saying what should be said, Lin Sen opened the door of the locker room and took the lead in slowly walking towards the players' tunnel.

Just as he was about to turn the corner and enter the players' tunnel, a group of people walked by, red and white striped shirts. Obviously, the pre-match set-up time on both sides was about the same, so the timing of the preparation was also about the same, but Lin Sen didn't find Flores from the people opposite, and he didn't know if he entered the game early or deliberately stayed at the back.

Lin Sen thought for a moment, greeted the Atletico Madrid players, and continued to walk over unhurriedly.

He already knows Atletico's starting line-up and no surprise, he knows who he will come across.

Nothing to shy away from.

Walking in the front is the captain Antonio López, who has met with Lin Sen at the press conference, when he saw Lin Sen coming over, he suddenly had a wry smile in his heart, if Lin Sen came out later than them, maybe he would think that Lin Sen was deliberately staring at Atletico Madrid when he came out, so as to affect the feelings of the Atletico Madrid players, but it seems that Lin Sen clearly went out earlier than them, unless he deliberately stood in the aisle and waited, but with the Lin Sen he knew in his impression, it was obviously unlikely that he would do this kind of thing.

Well, it's a coincidence.

But then again, it is actually normal to run into the opponent's head coach at this time.

Lin Sen didn't expect his appearance to make Antonio think so much, but the other party really thought about it, because if Lin Sen really had this thought, he didn't need to pinch any time at all, as long as he came out later, then the whole Atletico team would be waiting for him in the passage to "review", why bother.

Just around the corner, the two sides meet.

Unlike the previous meeting between Lin Sen and Flores at the press conference, this time, Antonio took the lead in greeting Lin Sen, which is not a deep master-apprentice relationship, but at least an old man, really not enough to be regarded as a stranger Cheng Dù, Lin Sen responded with a smile, and then patted the other party's shoulder, just like when he was at Atletico Madrid, Antonio deliberately slowed down, and then let the team follow him.

Lin Sen couldn't see Antonio's thoughts, he just smiled in his heart, and did not deliberately stay, but walked side by side with the other party to the road.

Antonio López's move was necessary.

Just in the locker room, Flores even specifically mentioned Linson, and clearly hoped that the players could prove themselves in front of Linsen, Flores's intention was to make Atletico Madrid's entanglement with Linsen change from influence to motivation, and to turn bad things into good things, the idea is very good, but not everyone is applicable. For Simão and Reyes, it may have had some effect, but for De Gea and Coke, it was hard. Especially Koke, although he did not start this game, it was obvious that he was a little silent.

For him, to prove himself to Linsen? Do you need it?

Antonio can block the players, but he can't block the eyes, after he and Lin Sen walked into the corridor, behind him, there are still a lot of eyes still following Lin Sen-

The players needed to wait for the referee in the corridor, but Lin Sen, as the head coach, did not, and when he appeared at the exit of the players' tunnel, the north stands burst into thunderous applause.

The applause lasted for a long time.

Lin Sen was a little surprised and moved, he knew that the stands over there were the stands of Manchester City fans, and he raised his hands to applaud in thanks, which attracted even more applause.

In the south stand, which is the stand of Atletico fans, they remained quiet, with no applause or boos.

In a corner of the stands, Barr and Jimmy sat next to each other, and Jimmy noticed that the applause of the Manchester City fans across the street made Barr's brow tighten, and then relaxed, and his heart smiled.

The past is already in the past tense, and this heart must be faced after all, and then go over.

Flores is Atletico right now.

The north and south stands behind the goals on both sides belong to the supporters of both sides of the game, while the larger east and west stands belong to neutral fans, of course, the celebrities who attract the live broadcast of the game are always those celebrities in the main stands, there are football bigwigs, such as UEFA president Michel Platini, German Football Association president Wanzziger, there are also some stars in other fields, of course, there are also players who cannot participate on both sides, such as Manchester City's Reus, Atletico Madrid's Thiago......

The game is on the verge of breaking out.

With the sound of the Europa League theme song, the players of both sides, led by referee Rizzoli, walked onto the pitch, and at the same time, cheers rang out from the stands.

"This is Hamburg, Germany, this is the Nordbank Arena, this is this season's Europa League final, Manchester from England will take on Atletico Madrid from Spain, and now that the players from both sides are in the field, let's start with the starting line-up for both sides......"

A familiar voice rang out.

In Manchester, at the MCFC bar, the noise of the previous noise paused for a moment, and then all eyes turned to the TV screen, while the same scene was playing out elsewhere in Manchester, and even in Madrid, Spain. (To be continued......)

PS: This game will not be too long, and at the same time, this game will be written, and the third volume will also be completed. The fourth volume will no longer be just a season, because the foreshadowing is over, it will speed up the process, and it will also reduce the fatigue of the game~
