Chapter Seventy-Two: The Storm

The storm came suddenly.

"Lin may be subject to additional punishment!"

Also on February 2, after the Western Football Association announced its investigation of Lin Sen, the front page of the Liberty newspaper exposed a shocking news.

The Free newspaper pointed out in the report that Antonio, the referee who officiated Athletic Bilbao's home match against Malaga, put forward a very unfavorable record for Linsen in his post-match report, and the disciplinary committee will verify Antonio's record in the next two days, and once confirmed, Linsen will be banned for up to five matches and fined up to 50,000 euros.

Coincidentally.

Athletic Bilbao, whose coach was wronged in the post-match press conference, immediately changed to a more weighty big man, and club president Marcua bombarded Linsen: I have never seen such an arrogant and ignorant manager, what does he think he is doing, even if it is Guardiola, he must respect this stadium and the fans here, not to mention that compared with Guardiola, he is nothing!

On February 3, in an interview with the media, Ángel Villar, president of the Spanish Football Federation who was born in Athletic Bilbao, said with righteous words: The referee needs to be respected enough, the authority of the referee on the field cannot be provoked, and we will not sit idly by and watch the referee's actions.

On February 4, just after Malaga drew 0-0 away to Real Betis in the quarter-finals and advanced to the semi-finals, the La Liga Disciplinary Committee announced an additional penalty for Linsen: a three-match ban and a fine of 10,000 euros. Reason: Questioning the referee's decision during the game and provoking the home fans in the stands are punished both.

As soon as the punishment decision was announced, the media was in an uproar.

There are those who gloat, such as the newspaper As, who believe that this is purely Lin Sen's own fault.

There are those who like to see it, such as the Daily Sport, who think it's just a matter of time.

On the contrary, the newspaper Marca, which has always been lukewarm to Linsen, took a more neutral position this time, "A question and a provocation, the manager of Malaga will not only miss the weekend game against Almeria, but also the other two league games against Real Madrid and Valladolid, and expectedly, the disciplinary committee chose to trust the referee Antonio's report of the game, and Antonio did not think that there was anything wrong with his decision after the game, and accused Linsen of making a big fuss." But with the biggest controversy of this game, Reus's loss of consciousness for a while and even a timeout from the referee can not be exchanged for a timeout, regardless of whether it is a foul, but such a thing happens, for the Spanish Football Association, which has always paid attention to the image, it is obviously not a glorious thing. ”

"Should we appeal? Aguilar. Putting down the newspaper in his hand heavily, Little Sans asked Aguilar next to him, with obvious annoyance in his voice.

It is undeniable that since the hiring of Linsen, Malaga's results have been thriving, although Linsen's relationship with the media is not good, but it is basically within the scope of saliva, and this time it is different, this is the first fine Linsen received as the head coach of Malaga, which is not unimportant: the fine aside, the three-game ban can be called the heaviest fine in La Liga so far this season. Of course, there is another reason that annoys Little Sans, before that, Little Sans has even prepared Lin Sen's conditions to provide Lin Sen with a new contract, and even the contract draft has been prepared, but just last night, a person vetoed his decision, yes, it was vetoed, because this person was his father: Lorenzo Sanz.

From the player directly to the chairman, Little Sans has too much to learn, and in this process, there are two people's opinions that he relies on the most, one is in Malaga respected Aguilar, he mainly gives little Sans advice on the team, and the other is his father Old Sans, although the former president of Real Madrid has a mixed reputation, but it is more than enough to guide him in the management of the club, the difference is that for Aguilar, Little Sans is more to ask, and for old Sans, Little Sans can do more, Just listen.

The reason why Old Sans vetoed the renewal of the contract with Lin Sen at this time is very clear: at the moment, Lin Sen is on the cusp of public opinion, and if Malaga renews his contract with Lin Sen at this time, it is tantamount to directly sending a signal to the outside world, that is, Malaga supports Lin Sen's previous approach. This will not only worsen the relationship between Malaga and Athletic Bilbao, but more importantly, it will put Málaga FC directly opposite the Football Association.

For such consequences, if Malaga is a club like Real Madrid, it is natural to ignore it, but for a small club like Malaga, it is obviously not a wise move.

"Appeal, of course." Hearing Little Sans's question, Aguilar, who was wiping his sunglasses, stopped his movements, frowned and said.

"Then appeal, what's the use of just appealing?" Little Tance took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Fernando. It's not a question of appeal, it's a matter of attitude. Hearing Sans Jr. actually say such a thing, Aguilar's brows furrowed even deeper, and he called Tsuns Jr.'s name as soon as he opened his mouth, "The club must be on the side of the manager, and the head coach must know this, which is the same reason that the Football Association must maintain the authority of the referee." We all know that the success rate of appeals is not very high, when did the group of people in the Football Association admit their faults? But if you don't appeal, what do you make Lin think? After all, this is not a personal feud between Lin and Bilbao, are you going to let Lin take all the pressure alone? ”

Little Thornton fell silent.

Aguilar, who was next to him, didn't say much, but quietly continued to wipe his sunglasses, believing that he had said enough. In fact, if it were the usual little Sans, these words would not have been needed from him.

In all fairness, whether it is the old Sans who has worked together, or the little Sans who is now working together, is not the best chairman in the eyes of Aguilar, the old Sans is undoubtedly on leadership, but unfortunately some are too good and happy, he bought Malaga, the original intention was not to like Malaga, but to use Malaga as a springboard for him to return to Real Madrid one day, and Little Sans is down-to-earth, but unfortunately still lacks so little decision, like today, Little Sans should have his own decision, And not because of a word from old Sans who lost his mind.

However, Aguilar can understand the difficulties of Little Sans, after all, the shadow of this kind of thing, either come out by itself, or can only wait for the shadow to dissipate by itself, and the strong pull of others can only solve the temporary worries, but can not forever prevent future troubles.

"Aguilar, do you also agree with my father's decision to shelve Linsen's contract renewal?" After a while, Little Tance suddenly asked another question softly.

"This multiple-choice question, only you can do it."

Aguilar didn't answer immediately, but said lightly after wiping his sunglasses, and what he said was also not the answer.

It's just that since it's a multiple-choice question, there are naturally options.

Whether to renew the contract or not, in fact, is just an appearance, whether Xiao Sansi dares to say no to his father, this is the key to Yiqiē.

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

At the center of the storm, it's always extraordinarily quiet.

The conversation of the disciplinary committee, the accompanying "command" of the FA officials, the rhetoric of the president of Bilbao, the allusions of the president of the FA and, of course, the expected ban...... These few days are destined to be the busiest days since Lin Sen took charge of Malaga, but Lin Sen still arrived at the training ground on time and left the training ground on time.

Then, without saying a word.

Closed training, no interviews.

The strange thing is that Lin Sen, who is so calm, still no one thinks that he will bow his head.

The media, who had taken an aphrodisiac, tried their best to find an opportunity to talk to someone related to Lin Sen, but the Malaga players, who had not officially announced their entry into the news, seemed to keep their mouths shut with their head coach, and even the media after training failed to get any news from their mouths, except for a word.

No comment.

But there is no comment, and it obviously cannot be said in Malaga's own pre-match press conference.

Three days later, at the home press conference against Almeria, Linson was absent and replaced by Tapia, who was pressed by reporters, and Tapia's answer was still in the official language: We have appealed the ban, and it is not convenient for us to continue to talk about it until the result is in.

Without Linsen's on-the-spot command, Malaga beat Almeria 3-2 at home.

Malaga fans were not as cautious as the club, displaying slogans in the stands in support of their manager, and some radical Málaga fans even made another gesture to the cameras at the Stadio San Mais.

But it's not over yet.

The day after the match against Almeria, the La Liga Disciplinary Committee announced the rejection of Málaga's appeal, after which the Málaga club announced that it would not proceed with the appeal.

A week later, Malaga travelled to Real Madrid.

Before the game, the media predicted that Linson might break his silence in this game, but when they rushed to the press conference before the game, they were still waiting for Málaga's assistant coach Tapia.

In the game against Real Madrid, Lin Sen can still only appear in the box of the stadium, and the live broadcast camera of the game even deliberately zoomed in to try to find some information from Lin Sen's face, but unfortunately, Lin Sen's expression is calm in addition to calm, just like this game that has been preached as a revenge battle by countless Real Madrid fans.

Zero to zero, a pool of stagnant water.
