Chapter 34: Applause

Cork stared blankly at the ball in the net, his expression dazed, as if he couldn't believe that the ball really went in.

After Linson almost promoted him to the first team and put his trust in him unreservedly, young Cork imagined what his first goal would be, how he should celebrate, and not even what he had to say in his post-match interview.

But the scene in front of him obviously made him feel at a loss, and he felt like he had thrown his heart to the ground and then stepped on it.

The sky fell? The sky fell!

The cheers of the dead Calderón La Coruña fans were so piercing.

The figure of the young man standing motionless in front of the goal looked unusually lonely and helpless, and for a while, no Atletico Madrid player stepped forward to comfort him.

Lin Sen didn't know that his calmness had become expressionless in the narrator's eyes.

When the expected thing happened, perhaps because he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Lin Sen found that he was not as disappointed as he imagined. Compared to Koke's own goal, Perea's leakage is completely unforgivable, but Linson is not going to make any excuses, if he really needs to, why didn't he replace Perea at half-time? I know that his love is no longer right.

After this goal, Lin Sen knew that there was no victory for him in this game. However, what made Lin Sen angry was that no one comforted Cork in the first place.

Lin Sen turned and walked to the bench, and soon, several players got up from the bench to warm up.

"It seems that Lin finally realized that it is impossible to win the game by relying on defense alone, and thank goodness Lin is finally going to make a substitution!" When he saw Linson walking to the bench, Kosol exaggerated, "I thought he had forgotten that football games can be changed." ”

However, when Kosol saw the number of substitutes appearing on the sidelines, even Kosol couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Three people? Lin plans to change three people at once?! ”

That's right, three people. Lin Sen directly played all his hole cards.

Motta, for Raul Garcia.

Sergio Aguero, for Reyes.

Simao, for Maxi Rodriguez.

"It's almost all counter-substitutions, well, at least Lin won't worry about anyone refusing to play anymore. Scold. That's a big step forward. It's just that some of the three people who were substituted don't seem to be satisfied with their substitutions, so let's see......"

The first to go down was Raul Garcia, the Spaniard was very direct in his actions, he didn't even pay attention to Mota on the side of the field, and walked out of the field from the other side of the field with his head down, and then went directly into the locker room, from beginning to end, without even the slightest eye contact with Lin Sen. As for the captain Maxi, he gave the captain's armband to Antonio Lopes before slowly walking off the field, but there was no expression on his face.

Watching Linsen stand on the sidelines again, Lotina frowned, he didn't care whether Atletico Madrid's players were satisfied or not, this was Linsen's business, it wasn't his turn to worry about it, but he didn't understand Linsen's substitution, judging from the strategy adopted in this game, Linsen is obviously not an adventurous person, maybe other people will think that Linsen is risky to let a few young people play, but Lotina doesn't think so, throughout the first half, Deportivo La Coruna has taken advantage of the half? But now, just by equalizing the score, Lin Sen directly replaced three people regardless of one qiē? This can almost be understood as an all-or-nothing bet, and obviously, such a substitution is illogical.

Is it an attack? Or do you want to keep it?

It's not surprising that Lottina can't figure out Linsen's substitution intentions, I'm afraid that in the entire stadium, only Dina can understand Linsen's intentions.

"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?!" Dina thought fiercely.

The reason why Lin Sen used up the three substitutions at once was not to strengthen the offense, let alone to replace defense with offense, and even, his substitutions had nothing to do with the tactical level at all, he just wanted to make the three little guys on the field, especially the little guy who had just scored an oolong, feel at ease: I, I have unconditional trust in you!

This is Lin Sen's substitution intention.

After coming on the pitch, Sergio Aguero walked up to Coke, who had been keeping his head down, patted him on the shoulder and whispered.

Let me give you a word, in the next game, you will also start.

With that, Aguero quickly ran away, leaving a stunned Cork desperately trying to suppress the fluid that was accumulating in his eye sockets.

----------

Regardless of Linsen's substitution intentions, the players on the field still brought changes to the game after all, and Aguero, who was gradually recovering, made a series of breakthroughs in three minutes after Calderón burst into applause, but unfortunately his final shot was off the mark, and Motta faithfully fulfilled Linsen's instructions: control the midfield!

Speaking of Motta, Aguero did become a lobbyist, he took the initiative to go to Lin Sen to accept "abuse", his own leg knows that so far, Lin Sen has only performed acupuncture for Mota twice, and Motta has already thrown himself into Lin Sen's five bodies. Motta is different from other Atletico players, he has only signed a one-year contract with Atletico Madrid, and has not yet received an offer to renew his contract from Atletico Madrid, and will almost certainly leave Atletico Madrid in the summer, so his view of Linsen is more pure, although it is not to the point of working hard for Linsen, but it is obviously not a problem to implement every instruction of Linsen to the letter.

If Sergio Aguero's arrival brought Atletico Madrid an attacking reinforcement, then Motta brought stability to Atletico at the time.

At the beginning of the second half, the noisy Atletico Madrid became steady, although it was still Deportivo La Coruna's main attack, but after all, it was no longer completely handed over to the midfield, at least, after possession of the ball, finally began to play some decent counterattacks, Mota's scheduling, coupled with Aguero's speed and Forlan's response, and perhaps the youngest teenager on the field went crazy to press, after playing Deportivo La Coruna several threatening counterattacks, Deportivo finally did not dare to continue to attack as wantonly as before.

The game has once again entered a stalemate. And this time the stalemate lasted directly to the end of the game.

The moment the referee blew the final whistle, Calderón's applause and boos resonated.

For the boos, Lin Sen is not so much understanding as getting used to it. But applause? Is it for Aguero?

"For you!" Dina walked up to Lin Sen's side and whispered.

"For me?" Lin Sen was stunned for a moment.

But when Dina said this, Lin Sen seemed to feel that the fans in the stands who were applauding were looking at him, but he was still a little unsure, so he tried to raise his hand and clapped his hands at the clapping stands.

It wasn't a warm applause, but it seemed to be a little louder in an instant.

Really, for me?

Somewhere in Lin Sen's heart seemed to be touched instantly, and his raised hand actually trembled unexpectedly, once upon a time, he counted on the fans to give him applause?!

"Not all fans are that demanding." Looking at Lin Sen, whose movements seemed to stiffen all of a sudden, Dina's heart also moved and said.

"It won't be my last race in Calderón." Lin Sen took a deep breath and said.

"I believe it." Dina nodded slightly.

She didn't believe it at first, but now, she really believes: not to mention the first two games, the next four games, drawing with Villarreal away, beating Huelva and Espanyol lightly, and now drawing with Deportivo La Coruna at home, who can deny that this Atletico Madrid team is getting better and better? And it was Lin Sen who changed this qiē who was criticized.

If this is Atletico at the beginning of the season, if Linsen is not coaching Atletico, and if Linsen is not a team doctor before...... There are too many ifs to convince Dina that Lin Sen's words are not just empty words.

----------

'A draw is not an unacceptable result and I am happy with the team's game, especially in the first half. For our players, I especially want to give credit to Koke, it wasn't an easy game for him today, but I'm glad he withstood the pressure and I hope the media don't dwell on the goal and give the youngsters a relaxed environment, as anyone who has watched the game knows that it can happen to anyone. It was I who got him in the first team, I was the one who got him in the squad, I was the one who put him on the pitch, so if there's a problem with that, come at me. ”

At the post-match press conference, Lin Sen actually wanted to say the most was that I don't answer any questions that are not related to the game, but obviously, for the sake of a few little guys, Lin Sen had to say something, and sure enough, after his speech, the free question became his personal press conference.

Recino in the stands, Raul Garcia off the beaten path, his contract coming to an end, his plans for next season...... Lin Sen, who is almost accustomed to the media arranging his successor for himself twice in three days, answered reporters' questions one by one.

"Recino? I wouldn't mind anyone coming to watch the game, and I couldn't stop anyone from coming to watch it. ”

"Raul Garcia? No player likes to be substituted, and I don't see any connection between his actions and his dissatisfaction, and in my opinion, he saves a lot of time in the game. ”

"Contract? Yes, if the club has a better candidate, I will leave Atletico Madrid at the end of my contract, this is not a suspense drama, either the contract is renewed or left, there is no third possibility. This is the last time I will answer this question. ”

"Whether I'm at Atletico Madrid or not, I'll still be a manager next season!"

It was the first time for Lin Sen to answer a reporter's question so patiently, however, just as the question was about to end, someone broke his patience.

"I would like to ask that Koke scored an own goal in this game, which will undoubtedly be a big blow to his self-confidence, do you regret sending him on the pitch in this game? Because as far as this game is concerned, we really don't see anything outstanding about this youngster. It was a young reporter who asked the question, and he sat down after asking the question, but Lin Sen noticed his sign anyway.

As.

Lin Sen was suddenly a little annoyed, he glanced at the reporter coldly, and said, "If I refuse to answer your question, will your boss regret letting you come here?" Because for the purposes of this question, I really don't see what makes you qualified to be a reporter for a newspaper like As. I'm sorry, but if Ass is all journalists like you, then from today onwards, I won't answer any questions from As. ”

After speaking, Lin Sen stood up, ignored the reaction below, and left the press room directly.

----------

Lin Sen's mood was obviously not better.

It was not only because of Cork's oolong, the appearance of Recino in the stands, although Lin Sen was unexpectedly open-minded at the press conference, but finally the last glimmer of hope in Lin Sen's heart to stay was completely shattered. He once had the illusion that the person most likely to PK him would be Flores, but he didn't expect it to be Recino who was almost forgotten by himself, speaking of which, after Aguirre's resignation, the original successor should be Recino, so, from a certain point of view, it was Lin Sen who robbed Recino of the opportunity to fight the fire.

This world, after all, is still fair.

The next day, the revenge of "As" newspaper came, and the exclusive headline: Lin Sen, OUT! Resinoe, IN!

Two English words, bold and black, so eye-catching, so sure that the newspaper is so sure, of course, it cannot be just because Recino appeared in the Calderón stands, but a more convincing photo, the protagonist of the photo, one is Atletico Madrid's general manager Hill Jr., and the other, it is Recino, the two met in a café not far from the Calderón stadium, and were photographed by the reporter who had been following Recino for a long time.

The suspense is over.
