On 15 July, Lin Sen came to the training ground early.

It is said that it is a training ground, in fact, it is the home of Malaga's new season - the Rose Garden Stadium, which is also a point that makes Malaga feel helpless for Linsen. In addition to the Rose Garden, there is also an alternate training ground, the Malaga City Stadium, where training is only transferred when the Rose Garden needs maintenance. It is worth mentioning that even the Rose Garden is not the property of the Málaga club, the stadium belongs to the municipality, the Málaga Council and the Andalusian Governing Council, and the Málaga club can only be considered rental, so having its own stadium has always been the desire of the Málaga club, although it seems distant at the moment.

Today is the team's meeting day for the new season, and the meeting place is naturally not set in a shabby city stadium.

Followed by Lin Sen to the Rose Garden was Tapia, and he was a little surprised when he saw Lin Sen standing at the entrance of the court, because he was the famous Mr. Early. In the past 20 years of coaching career, he has maintained a rule, that is, half an hour earlier than the training time, although it cannot be said that there are no exceptions, but it has indeed become a habit of his, and there are people who are earlier than him, but there are not many.

The two said hello briefly, and Tapia went to prepare some things that needed to be used today, and when he came out, Lin Sen was still standing at the entrance, and Tapia was stunned for a moment, but immediately thought of something. Sure enough, as the scheduled time of the meeting approached, more and more people came to the stadium, and the new head coach of Malaga stood at the entrance and greeted everyone with a nod of his head.

What better way to meet? Tapia's heart was hot, he didn't want to speculate on how the players would react to Linsen's move, but it was clear that Linsen had sent a signal to his players in this way: he was not a high-minded manager.

The first player to arrive at the stadium was last season's main goalkeeper Gordia, and the Basque people obviously didn't expect Linsen to stand there, and took the initiative to greet him, and was a little flattered. Followed by Godia is the most familiar player in the current team - Koke, the young man looked extremely happy when he saw Lin Sen, and Lin Sen smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Subsequently, Lewandowski with a calm face, Rondon, an excited Venezuelan striker, Isco who was a little nervous, Gamez who was familiar, and Gabi who was steady...... The two Germans, Reus and Gundogan, arrived at the same time and had apparently greeted each other, while the two Italians, Ranocchia and Bonucci, were one behind the other.

Lin Sen has been opening the plug-in, naturally no one's love xù can hide from his eyes, in Tapia's opinion, Lin Sen obviously wants to take this excellent opportunity to let the players know themselves, and in fact, what Lin Sen got is far more than just knowing him.

Spaniards, Portuguese, Brazilians, Germans, Italians...... Then, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, all the players only know, when they first meet their head coach, their head coach greets and communicates with them in the language they are most familiar with, for Spaniards and Portuguese, Linsen's move may be commonplace, but for others who don't understand these two languages, especially for newcomers, no amount of welcome and warmth can compare to those few bland words.

No, just because I understand.

When the last player to arrive at the stadium, Kaleyan, greeted Lin Sen, Lin Sen raised his hand and looked at his watch, there were nearly ten minutes left before the scheduled meeting time.

Lin Sen's mood suddenly improved.

That's a really good start.

The changing rooms in the rose garden now have an eerie atmosphere.

On the one hand, the players who played in Malaga last season, they are very familiar with each other, they talk about the European Cup, talk about holiday fun, and even the new manager who has just met is also one of the topics, in short, there is talk and laughter. It's just that on the other side, the new players are obviously much quieter, even the players from the same country, they all choose to be silent at this time, and they silently change their jerseys and wear sneakers......

The team's captains and vice-captains, Arnault and Gámez, wanted to ease the atmosphere, but they had no choice but to stop at all, thinking that they would naturally get better on the football field in a while, after all, football is the best common language for everyone here.

And on the other side of the pitch.

Lin Sen, who had just had a simple "close contact" with all the players of the team, first had to thank Malaga for not being a big team, otherwise, the European Cup had just ended, and he would have faced the problem of unorganized personnel. Secondly, he had to thank Livermore for his efforts, so that he was able to see the team he wanted in front of him on training day, and he didn't have to face the embarrassment of facing players he didn't need to name.

The Malaga first team currently has a total of 21 players, including two goalkeepers, eight defenders, nine midfielders and two forwards, if he could, Linsen would really like to let this team that is completely his own train the way he wants today, but everyone knows that the holiday has just ended, and fitness will be the most important theme in a short period of time.

Before handing over the team to strength and conditioning coach Ruiz, Linson made his first appearance as the team's head coach in front of the team. Given that Tapia's speech must not be as brief as his speech at the coaching conference, Linson decided to say more, so he threw out the "epistemology" that many talked about a few years later when he became a top coach recognized throughout Europe.

"My name is Lin Sen, your head coach for the new season. I've met with you just now, and many of you probably think we've got to know each other, but frankly, I don't think so. Here, unlike where I was just standing, it's different. Because it's inside the stadium, and there, it's outside the stadium. There, we did get to know each other. But here, I think I know you better, not that I'm arrogant, and I've spent almost all of my time studying you for the past month or so. And most of you, most of you are on vacation. So, before the season starts, I hope you can do me a favor and get to know me as much as you can here. Of course, the last thing I want to say is that I am very happy to meet all of you, and I hope you will be happy to know me as well. ”

Concluded.

Tapia didn't have the opportunity to see the grand scene above the team's head at this time in Lin Sen's eyes, but he knew that Lin Sen's words, he was destined to be unable to forget them.

The team was soon led by Ruiz to take part in the fitness test, which was mandatory for returning to the team before the season. Miguel, who was in charge of the equipment, had already sent someone to prepare all the equipment needed. Lin Sen did not follow the team, but was interviewed by Balkacera with Tapia, today is the first day of the team's return to training, without the big killer of the European Cup, the media's eyes finally slowly returned to their respective leagues.

Speaking of this, Lin Sen only found out at this time that there are really not many fans visiting today, although the time has only passed less than half an hour, but the fans in the stands are sparse, not to mention the slogans, even the shouting is not a few sounds, in fact, Lin Sen does not know, because the location of the Malaga training camp is in the rose garden, ordinary fans can not enter, only the fans who hold the team's season tickets can enter with tickets, at this point in time, naturally there will not be many fans.

The media who came to interview are basically local media, so the interview was carried out steadily, not shocked, in Atletico Madrid, he had experienced several-for-tat battles against Maimang Lin Sen to deal with, just like a kindergarten aunt to deal with children, two or three times to make the interviewer satisfied, needless to say that the next day in their report, a thriving Malaga has been led by a young and promising coach, walking on the bright road.

After the interview, this time it was Linsen's turn to grab Balkase and ask how the pre-season warm-up match was arranged. According to Linsen's previous training plan, Málaga will have to play at least four or five warm-up games before the start of the season to make the team barely reach what he sees as "letting the players know him".

Balkase said that the goals of the first three opponents have basically been determined, and the first opponent is the already determined Malaga B team, which basically does not need to be arranged, it is purely an intra-team friendly match, and the time is three days later. As for the second and third opponents, they are still waiting for their answers.

Lin Sen asked which two teams they were, and Balkase didn't seem to want to sue him before the matter was decided, only saying that it was two strong teams. It wasn't until Lin Sen was forced to be anxious that he said the names of the two teams.

Both teams are from Italy and happen to be the two most competitive teams in Serie A at the moment: Inter Milan and Roma.

Lin Sen was a little stunned when he heard it, but only another name flashed in his mind.

If Inter do accept the invitation to play in Malaga, it will mean that Linson will meet one of the best football coaches in the world today for the first time on the pitch.

Jose Mourinho!
