Chapter 14: The Lobbyist

"Cerezo didn't eat you?"

"I didn't provoke him, why did you eat me?"

"You haven't provoked him yet? You directly stabbed the matter to the media, and now, everyone knows that those two second goods are two goods that lack professionalism. In the future, which club will dare to ask for it? Even if they do, how much do you think they're worth? ”

"I'm fighting back in self-defense, and if I can't sell it, don't sell it."

"Are you going to use them?"

"Don't even think about it!"

“…… It is said that Cerezo has already called the two of them to chat today, and I guess I want them to shut up. ”

"There's always so much to do in Cerezo!"

"Aren't you allowed to fill in the pit you dug? What's in it for you if you don't shut up, though the more trouble they make for them, the more they suffer. ”

"Just wait, it's not going to end here."

"Won't it end? You wouldn't want to do anything more, would you? ”

"How could it be. I'm just waiting for someone else to apologize to me. ”

Ignoring Dina's puzzled expression, Lin Sen was very sure of his guess, of course, it was not something in his memory. In the final analysis, he is not the initiator of this matter, all of them are caused by Simão and Reyes themselves, maybe they didn't expect Lin Sen to make such a statement at the press conference, but in fact, from the moment they refused to appear, the current situation was doomed, and Lin Sen's words were just the last layer of fig leaf.

If Simão and Reyes are willful, then of course things will only get worse and worse, and there is no bottom line for bad things. On the contrary, if Simão and Reyes still have a little sense, the next development of things is actually very simple: Simão and Reyes apologize to themselves, they are adults who ignore a lot of past suspicions, Simão and Reyes regain their reputation as professional players as good children who know their mistakes and can change them, and the club can also minimize the impact of this incident, and everyone is happy.

Simão and Reyes act sensibly or willfully? If the person Serezo is looking for is himself, then he doesn't know, since Cerezo has found the two of them, then I believe that Cerezo has the ability to help the two of them make a choice.

As for whether Simão and Reyes really let go of their past suspicions with themselves after everyone is happy, Lin Sen doesn't care about this issue. He never minded speculating on the intentions of others with the greatest malice, not to mention that these two people were not in his plan, and even in his plan, he would not hesitate in the slightest.

Just because the media doesn't care about Atletico's six-game losing streak doesn't mean no one cares. The anger of Atletico Madrid fans has finally changed from quantitative to qualitative. After the game, Atletico Madrid's fans gathered directly to try to stop Atletico Madrid's bus, which could only leave the stadium under the escort of the police, and then they directly surrounded the headquarters of Atletico Madrid, and Linsen's name finally appeared in the fans' mouths, and was labeled as cowardly and incompetent.

For these, Linsen, who was also on the team bus at the time, did not pay attention to it, not because he really didn't care at all, but because he really didn't have time to pay attention to it, and what greeted him was the crucial third game after he took charge of Atletico Madrid.

The first bet was about seven people, the second bet was about four people, and the total was only eleven, that is to say, the players who participated in the third bet were more than half of the number of the team, and the reason for such an imbalance in the proportion was not that the players were really biased towards the content of these three bets, but another more disappointing reason: mentality.

Three bets, in this seemingly straightforward and simple way, Lin Sen easily tested the current three mentalities of the entire team. For those who participate in the first bet, their state of mind is calm. The outcome of the bet was a joke for them, in other words, they didn't care about the bet at all. Win and let the coach fuck off? Lose and play well? When did playing well become a condition? So, no matter what, these people will act according to their professional principles and will not change depending on who the coach of the team is. These people are undoubtedly the players who make the manager feel at ease the most.

And the people who bet on the second game also belong to the first category in principle, but they are more "shrewd" people, they will not work for the head coach unconditionally, nor will they get along with the head coach clearly. As for the people who took part in the final bet, the ingredients are undoubtedly much more complicated. Among them, there are people who have not regarded Lin Sen as a head coach from the beginning, people who have half-heartedly and even started to think about next season, and more people who have seen their position in this team very clearly. There are more than 20 people in a team, but only 11 people can play, if you meet a coach who likes to rotate, it's okay, once you meet a rotation you don't like, it's basically the rhythm of eleven plus three, and the previous Aguirre was such a coach. So, it's no wonder why they chose to wait and see. It's just that these people, although the composition is complex, have one thing in common, that is, they all care too much about the role of the head coach.

Players should respect the coach, but who the coach is is definitely not something that the players can decide.

The third bet is on whether Atletico will concede more than five goals in three rounds. In the first two games, Atletico Madrid conceded a total of three goals, only two goals away from the third bet, and in the next game, as long as Atletico Madrid conceded no more than two goals, then Linsen will take the initiative to resign from the club. However, this incident is not destined to happen, Lin Sen has never fought unprepared battles, otherwise those ten years would have been in vain. For Linsen, in the next game, conceding goals is not a problem, the problem is how many goals can be scored. He has already announced that all the players in the first two rounds will be on the starting list for the next round, and at that time, only one spot will appear in the third group. Who this person is, Lin Sen didn't want to make a decision lightly. So, Lin Sen decided to meet someone first.

After Torres' departure, Atletico Madrid had a discussion about who should be the captain, and the biggest favourite at the time was not Maxi Rodriguez, but left-back Antonio López, who came through the Atletico Madrid Academy and played for Atletico Madrid for nine years. But in the end, the captain's armband was given to the Argentine, not because of seniority, nor because of strength, but only because of spirit. As the captain of a team, the strength can be insufficient, the qualifications can not be enough, but the spirit must be strong enough. Compared with Antonio López, who has a calm and quiet personality and is known as the "good old man", the Argentine, who is known for his toughness in both personality and style of play, obviously fits the definition of captain in people's minds.

It is based on such memories that Lin Sen never thought that Atletico Madrid's Argentine captain would become his biggest trouble.

'In the last game, the responsibility for conceding the goal was on me and I will not shirk my responsibility. The first words of Maxi were so straightforward and crisp, which made Lin Sen a little surprised and a little entangled, you can also say it so justifiably if you should be ashamed of Mao, but even I think you should say that.

"So, if you're looking for me for this, all I can say is." Maxi continued, his expression unchanged, "If I don't start the next game, I won't have any complaints. ”

It's easy to talk to cheerful people because you don't need to go around in circles. It's tiring to talk to someone who is cheerful, because the other person may make you swallow all the words you have been preparing for a long time back in your stomach with a single sentence. Lin Sen was just silent for a moment, and then spit out a sentence.

"What if I let you start?"

Lin Sen's unexpectedly simple question made Maxi a little stunned.

What do you mean to start?

Excluding Simão and Reyes, now I'm the number one thorn in your team right now, and you still want me to start when you have the reason for the last game? Do you still want to lose? …… Wait, by the way, there's a third bet if you lose......

Seeing Maxi's expression change back and forth, the color flashes on the top of his head were like warning lights, and in the end, he lost his color directly, Lin Sen suddenly felt a pain.

"I know what you're thinking, Mark. You think I started you because I wanted to lose the next game and win the bet. However, you seem to have forgotten who your opponent is in the next game, and with the current state of the team, do you really think that if you don't play, it will have a big impact on the outcome of the game? ”

Villarreal!

Atletico Madrid's next round opponent.

A team that just helped Lin Sen win his second bet!

A team that has become a stark contrast to the fall of Atletico Madrid!

A team that is currently second in the league and even more goals than Real Madrid, who are at the top of the table!

In short, this is a team that has opened a cheating this season!

Maxi only now found out that the third bet turned out to be such a big pit!

Finally yellow!

As soon as he saw the color on the top of Maxi's head, Lin Sen decisively struck while the iron was hot.

"Mark, one thing you have to admit is that if you weren't the captain of this team, you wouldn't be sitting here today and I don't need to explain anything to you. You know I'm not kidding. ”

Of course, no joke, Simão and Reyes, who are currently in a hurry, are living examples, and in terms of strength alone, Maxi does not feel that his weight can be heavier than the two of them combined.

"Just as I have to admit that you are the captain of this team, you don't have to admit me as a person, but you have to admit me as a coach. Otherwise, we won't have any crossovers after the next game. Lin Sen's voice was categorical, "So, before this game, I need an answer." ”

Maxi remained silent, the color above his head changing again.

He couldn't understand the meaning of Lin Sen's admit, the coach and the captain can be understood together at this time, since he is the captain, he naturally understands what the coach means.

Lin Sen's eyes have been watching Maxi, and when the color on the top of Maxi's head finally settles down, and then stays in one color, he knows that his task as a lobbyist today is finally completed.

Cyan.
