Chapter 36: The Family Feast
Lin Sen was invited to a family banquet again.
But this time, it was obviously different from Tapia's family dinner, because this time the inviter was Little Sans, that is, the president of Malaga. Moreover, it is not accurate to say that it is a family banquet, because there are actually only three people who eat, Little Sans, Lin Sen, and an old man - Lorenzo Sans, that is, former Real Madrid President Old Sans.
One thing is for sure, if it weren't for the fact that Little Sans was not the president of Malaga, Lin Sen would definitely decline this invitation, the reason is too simple, just in front of this table that looks a bit like the end of the world, the food is beautifully called rich, in fact, it is a ridiculously large plate with a little bit of pitiful food, although each food is delicate and attractive, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like it wants to ** your appetite, not to fill your stomach.
It's not eating at all, it's just suffering.
The reason why Junior Sans invited Linson is very simple, it is to congratulate Malaga on beating Real Madrid in the last round. But when Lin Sen saw Old Sans, he actually had a trace of doubts about the reason for Little Sans, Malaga is now controlled by Little Sans, but everyone knows that the person who bought Malaga in the first place was not Little Sans, but the old man sitting at the head of the table now.
Speaking of the elder Sans, people's first impression is that he is the former president of Real Madrid, and during his tenure, Real Madrid won the Champions League for five years. It stands to reason that with such a result, the old Sans should have become the legendary president of Real Madrid, but in fact, many people, including many Real Madrid fans, do not have a high evaluation of this chairman, thinking that he has merit and fault, and it is more than merit, and it is recognized that the biggest mistake is that he was in debt because of the competition with Barcelona Real Madrid, in addition, it is rumored that he used public funds to gamble......
All in all, this is a rather controversial chairman.
The whole family banquet, in fact, there is not much conversation, basically polite congratulations and other words, the rest is silence, until after the dinner, the old Sans who lit the cigar smiled and Lin Sen had some other conversations, but after all, there are still three sentences that do not leave the line, the topic of Lao Sans is very general, La Liga, European football, and even the general trend of world football, Lao Sans has his own opinions, of course, for these similar words pointing to the country, Lin Sen is more just smiling and listening, not to mention personal opinions, not much to answer.
It's not that Lin Sen doesn't bother to answer or has nothing to say, but the level is fundamentally different. Here, Linson is just a head coach, and although the old Sans has nothing to do with Malaga on the surface, everyone knows that he is the owner behind Malaga.
"The current Real Madrid is no longer the Real Madrid it once was. As long as that lawyer is still in that position, Real Madrid will never be at the top of Europe. That despicable villain is not qualified to be the president of Real Madrid at all. Back in the day...... Alas, it's okay not to say it. Perhaps it was Lin Sen's seemingly attentive listening that made the old Sans talk very highly, and when talking about Real Madrid, the old man's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness.
The current president of Real Madrid, Ramón Calderón, served as Florentino's staff several times before becoming the president of Real Madrid, and Florentino was precisely the person who ousted the old Sanz from the position of president of Real Madrid. For the election of that year, the old Sans is still haunted by it, and a "Figo" made him lose the re-election that he thought was nine out of ten.
Of course, if Old Sans's words stopped here, Lin Sen could still understand Old Sans's feelings, but his next sentence made Lin Sen's heart a little tired.
"You were lucky to meet Real Madrid, the worst. However, Málaga's current style of play is too ugly and needs to be corrected. If I were still the president of Real Madrid......"
Old Sans's tone was casual, it seemed to be just a joke, but as soon as his words came out, not only Lin Sen, but even Little Sans felt that his father was a little demonic. There is no regret medicine in the world, the word "if" itself is a more suitable word for self-talk, and Malaga's defeat of Real Madrid can certainly be attributed to "luck", but luck is not part of the strength? If your own strength is not good, how good is your luck? As for the "ugly style of play", defense, is it ugly? Málaga is eligible to pick a style of play?
Little Sans may have felt that the reason why his father said this was just an "old problem". But Lin Sen knows that what the old Sans, who has been trying to make a comeback in football, is not just thinking about the "glorious years" of Real Madrid, and next summer is the day of the election of the new president of Real Madrid. Especially with Calderón's scorching preoccupation right now.
Not only that, Lin Sen also knows that in the Real Madrid presidential election next season, the old Sans has absolutely no hope, because there is also a big man who participates in the election, the former helmsman of the Galaxy Battleship - Florentino!
Therefore, even if old Sans is reluctant, his obsession can only be the moon in the mirror after all.
Because of this, at this time, Lin Sen's attention was not actually on Old Sans, but on Little Sans.
After making sure that little Sans didn't look at him from beginning to end, Lin Sen took a deep breath in his heart, his face was calm, and he replied that if it was placed in half a year, it would be extremely spicy and ironic for old Sans.
"I believe that next year's Real Madrid will definitely have a better president."
-------------
When leaving, Xiao Sans sent Lin Sen to the door, not a long and not short way, on the way Xiao Sans still did not explain anything for his father's words, obviously in his heart, if it wasn't for Lin Sen's start in Malaga was really too amazing, maybe Lin Sen would never have set foot here in his life, but even so, Xiao Sans didn't think he needed to explain anything for his father's words.
Therefore, this way is just an ordinary joke, much like a joke between friends, but it is different from that between friends, because Lin Sen can clearly feel that the chairman, who is not a few years older than himself, talks to himself in a tone that is not so much a conversation as a condolence. Yes, not in parallel, but in a top-down relationship. This tone may not be deliberately done by Xiao Sans, but it is still casual and true, just like the working relationship between the two.
In fact, for Lao Sans's words, Lin Sen didn't say that he had to get some explanations, and he wasn't so hypocritical, but he really wanted to get an attitude, and he didn't need any explanation, even if it was just a little opinion, it could also make the thorn in Lin Sen's heart disappear invisibly, but until Lin Sen got in the car and left, Xiao Sans didn't mention even a word.
Looking at the scenery that kept sweeping backwards, Lin Sen suddenly smiled.
Wanderers always yearn for a home, and those who have a home always yearn for freedom. Lin Sen didn't feel much about the second half of the sentence, but the first half of the sentence was deeply understood. If he could, Lin Sen also hoped that he could take Ferguson as an example, however, how could the godfather be so easy to be, not to mention that this has never been a matter that one person can decide, and wronging himself is not Lin Sen's character. Especially after the experience of Atletico Madrid, Linsen no longer has any hope for others. Because fairness is always relative, being fair to oneself may be unfair to others, when he was at Atletico Madrid, Linson never said that he wanted to stay in Atletico Madrid, even if he wanted to stay there, but in the end, he still had to leave, because Atletico Madrid considered not only his personal fairness.
So, what about Malaga?
Lin Sen still doesn't dare to say it lightly, which is why his contract with Malaga insists on 1+1.
Because Linson is not sure, Malaga is not another Atletico Madrid, and this time, he does not want to be completely passive and let others choose or give up on himself like the last time. So when it came time to sign the contract, he gave himself a choice, and the same choice was given back to Malaga. Lin Sen is sure of his results in Malaga, because even if he is unlucky, the ability of the players he chooses is there, and it is impossible to really fall into relegation.
Therefore, that choice is mostly for yourself.
For Lin Sen, the conditions for him to settle down are very simple, there is a good chairman, there is a good group of fans, and that's it. Of course, it would be even more perfect if it was a nice city.
The last condition, Málaga is clearly met, as for the president and the fans, the latter is qualified, at least so far, and of course, this could also be because of the relationship that Málaga has played well in recent times. As for the former, at least throughout the summer, Sans Jr. kept his promise and did not dictate Linsen's transfer work, even if some of Linsen's reinforcements were very imaginative, which made Linsen particularly satisfied, of course, this is also somewhat due to the fact that Malaga's budget is not much.
In fact, when the two sides met for the first time, Xiao Sans gave Lin Sen a good feeling, not ambitious, but very thoughtful, not shrewd and capable, but very pragmatic.
Thinking of this, Lin Sen suddenly remembered the brief conversation with Mourinho a few days ago.
After beating Real Madrid in Malaga, Linson received a congratulatory text message from Jose Mourinho, which he was surprised to see because he didn't even know why Mourinho had his own mobile phone number, and the two were only friends in the warm-up game. However, Lin Sen politely replied to the text message to express his gratitude, thinking that the matter would pass like this, but he didn't expect that as soon as the text message returned, he received a call from Mourinho, and the two who were not familiar with each other talked briefly for a while.
At the time, Linson was impressed by Mourinho's remark that he said that Moratti was the best chairman he had ever met, because he was most like a fan.
Of course, Linson does not think that the so-called "best" in Mourinho's mouth is all-round, a chairman who is most like a fan is not a good thing for the club, and it is not a good thing for the manager, and Linsen also knows that if there is no error, two years later, Mourinho, who is standing at the top of Europe, did not choose to stay at Inter Milan in the face of Real Madrid's invitation. However, for the latter sentence, he deeply agreed.
To put it bluntly, the head coach is a part-time worker, and if he is a part-time worker, he wants to find a good boss, and there are many standards for a good boss, but there is a mantra that can be called reasonable: a man dies for a confidant.
Is Little Sans a confidant? At least for the time being, Lin Sen doesn't think so.
