Chapter Eighty-Six: Sitting on the Mountain
Thank you before the chapter: Thank you for your old friend Nanxi's husband for his support again.

Lin Sen could understand Tang Hua's excitement.
He would have been thrilled if he had just stepped out of college to get such an opportunity. Legend has it that the carp jumped over the dragon gate and became a dragon. There are many carp in this world, and there are many who have the perseverance to swim against the current, but there are only a few that can cross the dragon gate. So, more often than not, a carp with perseverance is still a carp, and it doesn't necessarily turn into a dragon, and sometimes, opportunity is more important than anything else.
Lin Sen gave Tang Hua a chance, and he believed that Tang Hua would not let go of this opportunity, just like Lin Sen seized the opportunity that Serezo inadvertently handed to him last year.
Lin Sen, who had just put down the phone here, quickly called a friend who had not been in touch for a long time, and when he received Lin Sen's call, this friend named Herris seemed to be surprised and enthusiastic, after hearing about Lin Sen's request, Lin Sen could almost hear the voice of Herris patting his chest on the other end of the phone, which made Lin Sen smile bitterly in his heart, and at the same time a little ashamed.
All along, Lin Sen has always subconsciously blamed the environment for the reason why he doesn't have many friends, but now even he feels more and more that this is just an excuse he made for himself. There are many kinds of friends, not all friends need time to edify, the information age, sometimes, an active greeting may make yourself one more friend, time environment or something, it will indeed make him lack some friends, but it should never be the only reason.
For Herris, although there is little contact, he is one of the few people who will take the initiative to contact Linson in Europe, because Herris is the only friend he knew when he received coaching training, Herris was responsible for UEFA's coaching training in Spain, and Linsen, who was trained at that time, was a little withdrawn, and with an oriental face, there were fewer natural friends, only Herris took the initiative to greet Linsen at that time, and the two became friends at that time.
I owe you a favor and invite you for a drink next time. After Herris agreed, Lin Sen said with a smile, and Herris over there unceremoniously said that he had written it down, and then ordered Lin Sen to let Tang Hua hand over a written text related to football, which is the basic threshold for coach training, and Lin Sen, who also crossed this threshold back then, is naturally very clear about this, but at this level, even if Lin Sen didn't say hello to Herris, Lin Sen also believed that Tang Hua could easily get through.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Sen sent an email to Tang Hua, telling Herris about his explanation, and by the way, he explained a question that he had forgotten to ask Tang Hua before.
That is the language problem, Lin Sen knows that Tang Hua is a top student of Tiannan University, at least there should be no problem with English, but since he is engaged in the work of a football coach, the relevant professional terms still need to be familiar, and it is best to learn Spanish, not only because he has learned Spanish, but also because South America is a football mecca, almost any coach who is engaged in football in Europe cannot avoid often dealing with South American players.
Of course, the language matter is not in a hurry, in order not to make Tang Hua feel a lot of pressure all of a sudden, Lin Sen just explained that the other party should learn by himself first, and the focus should still be on football.
After dealing with Tang Hua's affairs, Lin Sen began to turn his head to face his team There are still a few opponents left on the league table this season, Mallorca, Osasuna, Deportivo La Coruna, Numancia and Racing Santander, which are the opponents of Malaga in the next five rounds, of which Mallorca and Racing Santander are in a similar situation to Atletico Madrid when Lin Sen took over last season, the league ranking is not up or down, there is no hope in Europe, and there is no need to worry about relegation, so the game with these two opponents is also more optimistic in the five games. The toughest opponent should be Deportivo La Coruna, who are fighting for next season's Europa League qualification, because the final of the Copa del Rey will be between Barcelona and Malaga, and both teams have basically confirmed that they will qualify for next season's Europa League, so the Copa del Rey qualification will be postponed to seventh in the league, and they are only one point away from the current seventh place in the league, Valencia.
As for Osasuna and Numancia, there are more variables, as both teams are currently desperate for relegation, and although Osasuna are 14th in the league table away from the relegation zone, they are actually only one point ahead of 18th-placed Getafe, who are in the relegation zone. The variable for Numancia is that they play Málaga in the penultimate round of the league, and they are currently in the bottom two of the table, they are close to three goals away from their previous place Getafe, so Málaga is likely to face a relegated Numancia side. If that's the case, then the two teams that were still brothers and sisters in La Liga last season will not need to fight to the death.
However, in any case, in the next month or so, Malaga's schedule is already the easiest among the top four or even seven teams in La Liga, and this also gives Malaga fans an entertainment project for the next period of time.
Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
--------------
On April 19, in the 31st round of La Liga, Malaga was forced to draw by Mallorca at home, however, this draw allowed Malaga to advance to the top three of the league, because Sevilla, who had the same points as Malaga, lost 1-3 away to Valencia and suffered two consecutive defeats.
On April 22, in the 32nd round of La Liga, Malaga encountered the stubborn sniping of the relegation team Osasuna away from home, and the game was not decided until the last minute, with Ranocchia's header in stoppage time, Malaga finally defeated Osasuna with a difficult score of 3-2, while Sevilla fell to the feet of Barcelona again in the second leg of the devil's schedule, 0-4 without suspense, three consecutive defeats.
Málaga stretched the gap with Sevilla to four points and initially consolidated their position in the top three of the league.
On April 26, in the 33rd round of La Liga, Malaga was forced to draw at home again, this time it was Deportivo La Coruna who drew them, however, Sevilla also failed to seize the opportunity to get closer to Malaga this time, because their opponent in this round was Real Madrid, who had chased the red eyes, with a score of 4 to 2, so that Sevilla suffered the longest losing streak this season: four consecutive defeats, and Real Madrid fans seemed to see the hope of repeating last season's reversal. Barcelona, who only sent a rotating squad to the Champions League semi-finals in midweek, was held to a 2-2 draw away by Valencia.
After this round of league matches, there are five rounds left in the league, Real Madrid is only six points away from Barcelona, and the next round of the league is the Spanish national derby. This means that as long as Real Madrid can beat Barcelona at home, then the gap between them and Barcelona is only three points.
On April 29, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals was played, with Manchester United beating arch-rivals Arsenal 1-0 at home in the Premier League, while Barcelona were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Chelsea, rivals in recent seasons.
On the 3rd of May, the big drama was staged, and the national derby.
When the famous referee Marienko blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Bernabeu stands, which had already left the stadium early, still erupted in an earth-shattering boo, and Barcelona's president Laporta high-fived the people next to him, and the score on the scoreboard was finally fixed at 2-6. Real Madrid fans, who had just rekindled their hopes of competing for the title, were only happy for a week before being poured a basin of cold water on the head of their sworn enemies at their doorstep.
This game also announced the final end of the suspense of the La Liga championship. At the same time, with Sevilla's previous four consecutive defeats, the suspense of the Champions League qualification competition that was almost over has been restarted, although Sevilla finally ended the four-game losing streak in this round of away games, and defeated the rapidly approaching Villarreal, but it failed to prevent Atletico Madrid from narrowing the gap to three points, only one goal difference.
As for Malaga, they beat Numancia by two goals to maintain a five-point lead over Sevilla.
On 6 May, just three days before the end of the national derby, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final was rekindled.
Compared with the English civil war between Manchester United and Arsenal, which should have been more gunpowdery, in this round of the game, Norwegian referee Henin successfully stole all the footage, single-handedly directing the farce that fans called the "Stamford Bridge tragedy", and after the game, Henin on both sides could only leave safely under the escort of the British police.
Barcelona are close to the final and will meet Manchester United, and the "treble" is already beckoning to Pep Guardiola's side who are on the third line.
------------------
La Liga is buzzing, and so is Europe, because the harvest season is approaching.
It's just that for Lin Sen, the excitement doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.
What caught Linson's attention was that Adriano finally terminated his contract with Inter Milan, and agent Rinaldi claimed that the Brazilian striker needed time to adjust and not consider the next club for the time being.
What keeps Linsen focused is that the Copa del Rey final, the most important game of the season, is just around the corner.
Barcelona, the opponent of the three-tier team, is not only imposing but still imposing in the eyes of fans all over the world, however, in the eyes of Lin Sen, it is a chance to win.
Pep Guardiola's tactics are unique, and Lin Sen does not deny it.
Barcelona's tacit understanding is unparalleled in the world, and Lin Sen does not deny it.
But if someone wants to say that Barcelona's physical fitness is also a cosmic level, then Lin Sen doesn't believe it.
The fact is that the current Barcelona has been close to two games a week for a month, starting from the 31st round of the league in the middle of last month, Barcelona will have a game almost every three days, and there are also national derbies and Champions League semifinals during the period, which can be said to be bayonet games, this is the opportunity for Malaga, this is the chance of victory in the eyes of Linsen.
On May 10, the last league game before the Copa del Rey final, both Linson and Pep Guardiola sent substitutes in the league very tacitly, and then, the same result: a draw.
Malaga drew 1-1 with Racing Santander.
Barcelona drew 3-3 with Villarreal.
It's just that no one is paying attention to this game anymore, and everyone's eyes are on three days later.
Lin Sen, on the other hand, went to his office at the request of Xiao Sans again, and Lin Sen knew that there were some things that should be concluded.
