Chapter 105: Mendes

Linsen's last game in Malaga was an away game, not lucky or regretful, but the process of the game was evenly matched, both sides sent a substitute lineup very tacitly, and the final score was also very harmonious, 0-0.

Since the club obviously will not arrange a press conference for Linsen's departure, Linsen took the press conference after the game to officially bid farewell to the fans in Malaga: I am sorry to leave Malaga, but Malaga will always be my parent club, I love the city and the fans here, leaving is a difficult decision, I will miss the qiē here, and I hope that Malaga will have a smooth future in the future.

Attending a press conference for the last time as Málaga's head coach, Linsen was almost unfazed by reporters' questions.

Linsen's next stop?

"I've answered that question and there's no next stop for the time being, but if I have the chance, I hope to see other leagues."

The next in Málaga?

'I don't know what the club is going to do, but I hope it's Tapia, Antonio has shown that he can be a good manager and he knows Malaga very well, so I think he's the perfect fit.'

What do you think of Real Madrid's presidential bid?

"Florentino will win in the end." Regarding this problem, which he had known for a long time, Lin Sen didn't want to save any face for Old Sans.

What do you think of this season's Champions League final?

'Both teams are very good teams and it's not surprising who wins the game. For this problem, which he also knew well, Lin Sen chose to make peace with the mud this time.

……

With the final round of matches over, the 2008/2009 La Liga season has come to an end.

Barcelona, who have completed the replacement of old and new coaches at an incredible speed, under the leadership of new manager Pep Guardiola, swept away the leaves from Real Madrid to regain the league title from Real Madrid, and of course, to the delight of Barcelona fans, the existence of Guardiola and Messi is enough to give them confidence in the team in the next few years.

In the second half of the season, Real Madrid, which was catching up, finally caught up to the second place in the league, but it still failed to change the fate of head coach Juan de Ramos, Juan de Ramos, like Linson, will leave at the end of the season, of course, this is not Ramos himself wants to leave, originally based on Ramos's overall results in leading Real Madrid, Ramos is not completely without a chance to stay, but the tragedy at the Bernabeu directly overdrew the trust of all Real Madrid fans in him.

This season's biggest dark horse Malaga is in third place, and Sevilla, which was once in danger of falling out of the Champions League zone, finally retained the fourth position, failed to let Atletico Madrid and Villarreal and other teams complete the counterattack, but Valencia is not so lucky, they prevented Deportivo La Coruna, but failed to prevent Athletic Bilbao, in the last round of games, they were already holding the Europa League qualification was snatched away by Athletic Bilbao, and the three teams participating in the Europa League next season will be Atletico Madrid, Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao.

As for the three unlucky ones who were relegated, they were Real Betis, who were pushed by Malaga at the last moment, Numancia and Huelva, who had rejected Linsen.

--------------

After the end of the league, unlike the immediate vacation of the players, the head coach originally had some finishing work to do, but for Lin Sen, who has already confirmed his departure, this has nothing to do with him. It was at this time that Mendes arrived as promised.

Lin Sen and Mendes met not in a café or in some secret place, but at Lin Sen's residence. This qiē only originated from Lin Sen's joke of "just come to me" when Mendes asked where to meet, but Mendes readily agreed.

"Don't have a girlfriend?" As soon as he entered Lin Sen's residence, Mendez glanced inside the house and asked with a smile.

"Where did you see it this time?" Lin Sen smiled when he heard this, and said while pouring coffee, "I thought I was cleaning up." ”

"It has nothing to do with whether it's clean or not." Mendez sat down on the couch, "Just because you don't have a woman's shoes on your rack." ”

Lin Sen laughed dumbly, he had forgotten that it was rumored that to see if a man was single, he only needed to see if his shoe rack had women's shoes, because that place was often the place where women declared their "sovereignty". Although it was just a rumor, it was obvious that Mendes had guessed correctly again, and Lin Sen was indeed single.

"What's next?" When the two were seated, Mendes did not directly talk to Lin Sen about the contract between him and Lin Sen, but asked a cliché and realistic question.

His tone was the same as after he met Lin Sen, like an old friend he had known for a long time. This famous agent, I have to say that his success is not a fluke, regardless of his vision, at least Lin Sen, who met him for the first time, from the beginning to the present, did not feel the arrogance of any big-name agent from him at all, and Mendes, as described in many movies or novels, described to Lin Sen at the beginning of all kinds of bright prospects if he signed a contract with him, he was just like an old friend, and even complained to Lin Sen about how long he was stuck in traffic on the road as soon as he met.

"I thought you came to build me yì?" Lin Sen took a sip of coffee and said with a smile.

"That's right." Mendez nodded with a smile and said, "Let's put it this way, when Jose was about to leave Porto a few years ago, I gave him a few Jianyì, and I thought it might be suitable for you." Many people think that Jose left Porto because he received an invitation from Chelsea, but in fact, Jose had the idea of leaving Porto as early as after Jose led Porto to win the League Cup, he is a very planned manager, and he believes that his tenure in Porto at that time needs to come to an end.

However, at that time, there was no suitable opportunity for Jose, so I gave Jose three suggestions at that time, one was to stay in Porto for another season and wait for the best opportunity. The second is to leave Porto and wait for the moment. The third is to leave Porto and accept some opportunities that are not very good. José chose the former in the end, and you know what happened next.

Of course, I don't say this to snatch the credit for Jose's final lead to Porto to win the Champions League, to prove how good my vision is, that credit belongs to Jose and his team, no one can take this one, I just want to say that timing is very important. ”

"Do you think I should stay in Malaga?" Lin Sen was silent for a moment and said.

"If you had asked me to be your agent in the first place, then I would definitely have done the same with you." Mendes smiled and said, "Actually, even now, I have a certain degree of confidence that Malaga will renew your contract, I have dealt with old Sans, he is a very stubborn person, but I know how to deal with him, however, this depends on your decision." ”

Then, Mendes looked at Linson, as if noticing the change in his expression.

Lin Sen's expression was calm, so he didn't hesitate to answer: "I've already decided." ”

"So." Mendez smiled in his heart, and secretly said that there was still a difference between him and Jose, and continued, "You still have two choices. ”

"I don't have time to wait." Lin Sen directly vetoed one option.

"Your position?" Mendez nodded and asked bluntly.

'There's no positioning, there's just a requirement and I want to be able to have the right to transfer.'

"Sure you were in charge of the transfer of Malaga last season?" Lin Sen's words shocked Mendes' heart, you know, last season's work in Malaga, not to mention La Liga, even if you look at the whole of Europe, is also the best transfer operation, there were rumors that Malaga's transfer was Lin Sen's handiwork, but it has not been confirmed, and now, Lin Sen's words undoubtedly admit this matter in some kind of Cheng dù.

Sure enough, Lin Sen just smiled and didn't deny it, but just added, "By the way, I will bring a few more people to follow, En, it shouldn't be more than three." ”

"That's not a problem." Mendes took a breath, took a sip of his coffee, calmed down, and said.

"It's a pity that your transfer work in Malaga is not in the open, otherwise things would have been much easier. A manager who can make money for the club and lead the team to victory, I can't believe Malaga would let you go. However, now your request for transfer rights is a problem, and I am afraid that there is no way to position it too high. At present, the whole of Europe can be regarded as a giant-level club, and there are four confirmed coaches, Real Madrid in La Liga, AC Milan and Juventus in Serie A, and Chelsea in the Premier League. Both of these Serie A teams basically have successors. The other two clubs are not clear as far as I know, but Real Madrid will definitely wait for the chairman to be elected before the manager is confirmed, and Chelsea, although the Premier League manager has always had a tradition of part-time transfer managers, which coincides with your request, but it is not to deny your ability, I know Abramovich well, his eyes are very, very high.

In addition to these giants, there are also some teams with potential manager changes, and by the way, Atletico Madrid is one of them. Speaking of this, Mendes suddenly smiled, as if thinking that Atletico Madrid was the starting point of Linsen's coaching career, but he quickly added, "It's just a potential possibility." And I have to remind you that coaching is different from players, players can be more proactive, but managerial work, more often than not, we can only wait. ”

"I understand, so I said, there is no positioning." Lin Sen shrugged his shoulders, his expression was still calm, Mendes' status determined that he could be far-sighted, and clubs like Real Madrid and Chelsea were also considered, but he was very realistic, one step to the sky, and the probability of falling pie in the sky is the same, not completely impossible, but unavoidable.

"You're too cautious, not everyone is old Sans." Mendes shook his head, "I thought that with Malaga's resume, you could aim a little higher, at least, from a high point down." ”

"It's because of Malaga's resume that I know I can't aim too high." Lin Sen smiled.
