Chapter 55: The Visitor
When Ariel saw Lin Sen coming to her with a black face, she knew that Adriano probably had a bitter fruit.
In fact, on the day Adriano was late, Lin Sen asked him to train alone, and after Lin Sen saw the photo of The Sun, Adriano changed the training venue and went to the reserves. So, yes, Adriano has tasted the bitter fruit.
Lin Sen had come to ask Ariel for the Brazilian's latest review report, and before that, he had already asked Dina for another report from the Brazilian.
Lin Sen's small team has been in charge of Manchester City since it has been a clear division of labor, Tang Hua is responsible for team analysis, Dina is responsible for physical fitness, and Ariel has established a psychological profile for the whole Manchester City team, that is to say, Adriano is not the only one who needs to face Ariel, and the entire Manchester City team needs to leave a "case record" with her, even including Lin Sen himself.
And this case record will be updated at the beginning of each month. What Lin Sen wants is Adriano's this month.
"I told you he needed playing time." Ariel handed the report that had been prepared long ago to Lin Sen and said it carefully.
"Playing time? Does he decide or do I decide? Or do you decide? Lin Sen took the report and replied angrily, "Do you know what level he is in the physical fitness report that Dina gave me?" Eļ¼ Do you know what E stands for? ā
Seeing Lin Sen's expression, Ariel shrank her head, and made a grimace at Lin Sen when he turned his gaze to the report in his hand.
Ariel naturally knows what the E stands for in Lin Sen's mouth, although she is only responsible for psychological matters, she also needs to understand the state of the players in all aspects, so the report from Dina, who is in charge of physical fitness, Ariel has to look at it. Dina claims to divide the fitness status of each player into nine levels, and E is the fifth of them. Stuck in the middle of the nine levels, it is a watershed. After this watershed, Adriano is a player who can start at any time, and before this watershed, Adriano wants to start, and he can only wait for God's help.
Ariel also knows that Dina has set Adriano a rigorous physical training plan, and in the past two months, Adriano has not only managed to regain his weight to the standard of an athlete, but his fitness indicators have also slowly but steadily increased. Rising from the worst H to E may seem simple, but the effort required a lot of effort. This is also the reason why Ariel interceded with Adriano.
She knew that Adriano went to a nightclub, but young people, what's so strange about going to a nightclub once in a while, if it wasn't for the coincidence that those damn reporters took pictures, where would Lin Sen know what was going on.
"You this report. There's no moisture, right? Looking at the report, Lin Sen's face looked a little better, but he still asked.
"Moisture?" Ariel froze for a moment, then became furious. "Are you doubting my work ethic?"
"Professional ethics ......" Lin Sen pursed his lips, but his face softened a little, and said, "Judging from this report." A qiÄ normal? ā
"It's meant to be normal." Seeing that Lin Sen was back to business, Ariel added hatefully, "It's as normal as you." ā
"Then I don't understand." Lin Sen patted his chin lightly with the report disappreciatively.
"There's something I don't understand. It's nothing more than going to a nightclub. I'm going too, why don't you come and shoot me. Ariel said angrily.
"I hope so." Still ignoring Ariel's complaints, Lin Sen said lightly, and then stopped continuing the topic, but said casually, "You three, is Cinderella still in Spain now?" ā
"Hmm." Ariel subconsciously responded, and only came back to her senses when she was finished, "How do you know?" ā
"I happened to meet Boya a while ago."
"Really?" Ariel's eyes widened, and she asked, "What a coincidence?" ā
"So what do you think?" Seeing the burning appearance of Ariel's gossip soul, Lin Sen couldn't help but laugh a little.
"That's right." Unexpectedly, Ariel nodded suddenly, "She's a real princess, there's no reason to look up to you." ā
"Not necessarily." Lin Sen pretended to smile mysteriously-
Adriano went to the reserves, which was the result of Linson and Adriano going head-to-head.
At that time, Lin Sen called Adriano to his office, and then pointed to the photo in the Sun newspaper and asked if the person was him, Adriano nodded and admitted, and then Lin Sen asked him to report to the reserve team very directly, during which he did not reprimand, did not persuade, and did not even ask the reason, and Adriano went without complaint.
Yes, no complaints, because Lin Sen has been watching his love. So Lin Sen went to Ariel to ask for a report, because this matter is weird no matter how you look at it. Even if Adriano falls again, he is also Adriano, and he will willingly report to the reserves?
Of course, Adriano has no complaints, and that doesn't mean his agent has no complaints. Before Linsen could figure out why, Rinaldi quickly rushed from Brazil to England and then stood in front of Linsen that day.
"Lin, I'm not trying to intercede for Adriano, but ...... Could this matter have been handled in a softer way? In the face of Linsen, who was just named the best coach in September by the Premier League official a few days ago, Rinaldi's confidence is far less than that of many agents when they stand as head coaches, because others do not know how Adriano came to Manchester City, they only know that Linsen personally went to Brazil to persuade Ade to join, but only he witnessed the whole process.
Therefore, Rinaldi's tone was as tactful as possible, but to his surprise, Lin Sen shook his head, and then said something that made his eyes widen.
"Gilma, I want you to make Adriano tell the truth."
"Honestly?" Rinaldi was a little confused at first, then came back to his senses, "Do you think Adriano didn't go to the nightclub?" ā
"No, the Sun's photos are real, there's no need to doubt that." Lin Sen shook his head, "But I suspect that Adriano is not the only one who goes to the nightclub. ā
Rinaldi is no newcomer. As soon as Lin Sen's words came out, he immediately understood the meaning of Lin Sen's words.
"You mean, Adriano didn't go by himself, he ......" The last half of the sentence, Rinaldi didn't say it, because he saw Lin Sen nodding.
"So ......"
Rinaldi wanted to say something, but this time Lin Sen interrupted him, "I know what you want to say, but no matter what, Adriano still went." And he's still late for training, which is a caution, and because it's the first time, I have to make sure I don't have a second time. Gilma, I think you can get the idea. ā
Of course, I can understand that Rinaldi smiled bitterly in his heart, and frankly speaking, the few months that Adriano has been in England have been the months when he has slept most peacefully. You must know that in the past few months, he has been woken up by someone in the middle of the night for almost one or two days a week, and the reason must be Adriano, which is really more accurate than the few days of a woman.
"I see." Rinaldi nodded. However, his mood was much more relaxed, and his tone was relaxed, and he joked, "But." Lin, did Adriano get a little less time on the pitch? How can I ask for a raise? ā
"I'd like you to come and talk to me about a raise." Lin Sen smiled slightly. "The sooner the better."
Since Adriano signed for Manchester City, Ade has indeed been one of the players with the least playing time in the Manchester City squad, a little more than the third goalkeeper Nelson, except for one start in the Carabao Cup, the other playing time adds up to less than one game, especially in the league, and only plays in the final stage when the overall situation is irrelevant. Therefore, from the perspective of the outside world, Lin Sen's signing of Adriano is now more like increasing the thickness of the bench, but what the actual situation is, only Lin Sen himself knows.
But in the use of Adriano, and Rinaldi, Lin Sen does not need to explain too much, in this world, apart from him, Rinaldi is one of the few people who know Adriano's situation the most-
After Linsen met with Rinaldi, the Carrington training base remained peaceful.
Adriano's ripples from the release of reserves seemed to ripple only slightly, and then calmed down. Lin Sen still leads the team to normal training every day, and there is nothing unusual to see, everyone believes that this matter has subsided, including the outside media, because after six consecutive league wins and two draws against Manchester City, Lin Sen obviously has more important things to solve.
It was in this peaceful atmosphere that on October 21, Rinaldi met with Lin Sen again, this time, for a short time, less than half an hour, and then Rinaldi left. The next day, Lin Sen invited another Brazilian to his office, and this time the conversation was even more brief. Huff.
On October 23rd, Manchester City welcomed the challenge of Austrian Vienna at home, in order to stay in the league three days later, Linson once again adopted a rotation system in this game, and important players were absent from the third line, but Manchester City still had a thrilling 2-1 score to win the opponent, the Europa League won all three games and accumulated nine points, ranking first in Group L. As long as they can continue to win away from today's opponents Vienna in the next round, Manchester City will be sure to qualify from the group.
It's good news, of course, but Vienna, Austria wasn't Linsen's only opponent on the day. Because shortly after this match, Linson received a call from a person who, like Rinaldi, was also an agent.
Wagner Ribeiro, Robinho's agent. (To be continued......)
