As Lin Sen thought, the closest to Quaresma at the moment is indeed Tottenham Hotspur.

Jose Mourinho has taken a fancy to Tottenham midfielder Jenas and tried to make him play the role of Inter's "Lampard" and was willing to trade Quaresma in exchange, but Blanca was not interested in the deal, for the simple reason that Tottenham's so-called exchange meant a draw. But the two are not equal, Jenas is estimated at 1,000 to 15 million in the transfer market, and Quaresma has a bad schedule in the first half of the season, but the price of 25 million is unlikely to shrink by half in half a season.

Therefore, Blanca is more willing to let Quaresma change the environment than to admit it directly, as long as the Portuguese can play out, even if he does not stay, at least there is room for redemption in this deal.

Therefore, in the case that Tottenham Hotspur refused to increase the price, the loan exchange became a more feasible plan. I don't want to pop up at this time, a more suitable object for Inter Milan, that is, Malaga.

Tottenham or Malaga, which is Quaresma more likely to come back to life? Obviously, the odds are higher in Malaga.

Blanca, who has been in ink with Tottenham for more than half a month on this transfer, was unusually crisp this time, Livermore 17 offered a loan, and 18 got a reply: agreed.

Like Chelsea, who Linson remembers not becoming interested in Quaresma until the final days of his transfer, Málaga arrived first, standing on the same page as Tottenham Hotspur in Quaresma's transfer in just one day.

On 19 January, Malaga welcomed Espanyol, the last opponent of the Copa del Rey "interference" for two consecutive weeks. Against the team that led Atletico Madrid to a three-goal victory last season, Málaga won more crisply, with Leonardo Bonucci knocking on the door from a corner kick in the ninth minute, and then Rondon scored twice to add the icing on the cake to Celli to make it 4-0.

Nineteen rounds of games, Malaga is still in the third place in the La Liga rankings with 12 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses and 41 points, and the two teams above Malaga's head, one is Sevilla, which has the same record and points as Malaga, but with the advantage of goal difference, Sevilla is temporarily ranked above Malaga, and the other is naturally the leader Barcelona, Guardiola's team has now become a team that other teams talk about in La Liga, nineteen rounds of games, Sixteen wins, two draws and one loss accumulate 50 points, the league is only halfway through, and it is as many as nine points behind the second place, according to this trend, by the end of the season, Barcelona points will break 100, which is definitely a terrifying score.

It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid, which had a bad record at the beginning of the season and once fell to seventh, has returned to fourth in the league with a wave of four consecutive wins after experiencing a change of coach.

Lin Sen has no habit of making irresponsible remarks about other teams, but for Malaga's current results, obviously he can't be dissatisfied, this season's La Liga pattern as a whole has not changed, although Real Madrid is a little weaker, but the champion of La Liga still can't escape the convention of Real Madrid and Barcelona's two-person turn, and the other two teams that entered the Champions League last year, Sevilla and Villarreal, one is now in front of Malaga, and the other is only a one-goal gap with Malaga.

But no matter what, halfway through the league, Malaga still stands in third place in the league.

In the match against Espanyol, the Malaga fans took up a banner to hit back at Ángel Gonzalez, a reporter from Ace Newspaper who thought Linson could not lead Málaga to relegation at the beginning of the season: Are we relegated? Mr. Angel.

In La Liga, there is a recognized score line, forty points, which is also considered to be the relegation line, because the relegation points in La Liga in the past ten years are basically around forty points, and before the match against Espanyol, Malaga's score has reached thirty-eight points, as long as you win Espanyol, you can almost certainly be relegated.

Linson didn't know what kind of expression Angel had when he saw the banner of the Malaga fans, but he was in a good mood anyway.

In fact, on the issue of the media, although Lin Sen does not have much good feelings, he does not have any bad feelings for no reason, but people are good and bad, and the media naturally has a conscience and no conscience. When encountering conscientious media, Lin Sen tries to cooperate as much as possible, just like Rod, Lin Sen actually does not accept many interviews with Rod, but every time Rod's question is asked, Lin Sen will be very patient, on the one hand, of course, because Roder has said good things about himself, on the other hand, because other people's questions are very neutral, in other words, he will not set his position early on. Unlike some media outlets in Catalonia or Madrid, who show their superiority as soon as they open their mouths, lest they feel uncomfortable if they don't provoke themselves......

Ángel González is a smart journalist who knows that the most important thing to make a name for himself is to create a topic, but unfortunately, he picked the right person and picked the wrong topic.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Recino is not having a good time now, after being forced to draw by Almeria in the last round, Atletico Madrid has not tasted victory in the last three rounds, two draws and one loss, and Atletico Madrid, who had returned to the Champions League zone with a three-game winning streak, fell to seventh place in the rankings, and Koke, who returned from Malaga, only went up in the last game to show his face.

Koke's return is actually not Recino's request, no matter how Pitacc's acquisition is viewed, the starting point is more "harmful" than "self-interested", Recino knows very well that his team's problem is defense, conceded 36 goals in 19 rounds, an average of nearly two goals per game, under such a poor defense, Atletico can be ranked seventh, thanks to the team's offensive efforts.

The introduction of Cork obviously won't solve Recino's immediate needs, but it will certainly hit Malaga, especially Malaga, who are their opponents in the next league game.

And for Linson, Atletico Madrid is a rival who is destined to be calm, especially after the transfer of Koke, just as he focused on this game, Linsen received a long-waiting call.

From Mendes.

It is said that once it is raw and twice cooked, Mendes, who called Lin Sen for the second time, obviously has become familiar with it.

"Lin, do you want Ricardo?"

After saying hello, Mendes didn't beat around the bush, and asked Lin Sen directly, and the Ricardo in his mouth naturally meant Quaresma. I think Livermore already had contact with him.

"If I want, you give it?" Lin Sen said half-jokingly, as if he meant something.

"Of course not." Mendez smiled and punned, "But, you know, Ricardo is my client. ”

'Did you say that to Tottenham? Mr. Mendez. Lin Sen still smiled lightly.

"Nope." Mendes shook his head indifferently and said, "I'm not familiar with that side for the time being, but it's no secret that Ricciardo is closer to the London team." ”

"I understand." Lin Sen nodded.

Tottenham Hotspur or Malaga, this kind of multiple-choice question is not difficult for many players to do.

"So, you also support Ricardo going to Tottenham?" Lin Sen asked.

"Ricardo would prefer to go to London, and in that case, my preference doesn't matter......"

Mendes's answer made Lin Sen on the other side of the phone pout: Your wishes are not important? Who are you fooling?!

"However, Malaga is a better place for Ricardo and I have always felt that La Liga is the best league for Ricardo." Mendes continued, "If you really need Ricciardo, I think maybe you should help Mr. Livermore. ”

"You want me to talk to Ricardo?" Hearing this, Lin Sen had already faintly thought of the intention of Mendes' phone call.

"Yes." Mendes said satisfied, "You are the manager of Malaga, and your words will be more convincing than Mr. Livermore and more than me." What do you think? ”

"No problem."

Mendes originally thought that Lin Sen would at least think about it, but as soon as his words fell, Lin Sen agreed without hesitation, which made Mendes a little surprised. At this time, Lin Sen said again, and his tone was half-true and half-false.

"If I can get Ricciardo to change his mind, maybe I'm really going to ask you to be my agent after the season, Mr. Mendes."

"Maybe you don't have to wait until then, Lin." Mendez thought for a moment and said, "If you need my advice, you can just ask." I know you're the expert in football, but when it comes to negotiations, I'm sure you're not as good as I am. If I'm not mistaken, your contract with Malaga is one plus one? ”

"It's not a secret." Lin Sen smiled.

"Well, you should probably think about a new contract, Lin, I don't mean asking you to ask for it, I think you can understand what I mean."

Lin Sen certainly understood what Mendes meant.

I don't take the initiative to ask for it, so naturally the other party takes the initiative to give it.

January 19 morning, Madrid, ACS headquarters.

Two Spaniards and a Frenchman officially met.

One, in a suit and leather shoes, with an elegant demeanor, and an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth.

One, also in a suit and leather shoes, with a calm demeanor, only shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

The last one, dressed in casual clothes, has a laid-back demeanor, and the most striking thing is the top of his shiny head.
