For players, every transfer is like a new beginning.
New environments, new teammates, new relationships...... It could even mean a new style of play, and of course, the most basic, a new home.
The transfer is confirmed.
On September 1, Bale was naturally unlikely to participate in the second round of La Liga, and he was given a week's vacation to deal with his personal affairs, which were nothing more than saying goodbye to his teammates and moving. The former Bale has actually tacitly agreed with his team-mates, only a formal goodbye is missing, although Bale and the club are very unhappy because of the transfer, but this has not affected his relationship with his team-mates, therefore, this step cannot be saved. As for the latter, Bale's parents and others were invited by Florentino, and almost all the family members appeared at the Bernabeu with Bale, but they would not follow Bale to live in Madrid.
Except for one person, that is Emma, his girlfriend who already has a crystallization of love with Bell.
Madrid is a burning passion 24 hours a day.
This sentence did not come from the writer's pen, but from the mouth of the former England star Owen, who once played for Real Madrid and is now retired, and soon another English star corroborated Owen's sentence, that is, Beckham, who also transferred to Real Madrid, where he threw himself into the arms of his assistant Rebecca, making the former enviable pair of "golden boys and girls" almost break up.
Emma believes in Bell.
Therefore, whether Bale played for Tottenham or Manchester City, she usually lived in her home in Wales, not the mansion that Bale bought. It's just that I'm afraid of her trust. Not much more than Victoria back then. But even so, Emma, who was helping Bell tidy up at home in Manchester, wasn't actually happy to go to Madrid.
She is a quiet person and likes to live quietly, which can be seen from the fact that she rarely appears in the public eye. For her, Madrid is not a city she likes, although the people she likes are about to live there.
"Perhaps, I don't have to." After sorting things out, Emma said to Bell with some hesitation.
"Didn't we say yes?" Bell stopped what he was doing and said with a frown. "We can come back often, and if you really don't get used to it, you can come back again."
Convincing Emma to follow him to Madrid is almost the most annoying thing Bale has been worried about since the transfer was confirmed, because it is impossible for other family members to go to Madrid with him, and it is not easy for him to go to Madrid alone, until yesterday, he managed to convince Emma. But he didn't expect Emma to say such things again at this time.
"And, if you go there, you don't have to worry about being disturbed." Bell added.
The so-called interruption is because of the recent time. Due to Bale's dispute with Manchester City on the transfer, Emma, who is Bale's girlfriend, has also been disturbed by some Manchester City fans in her life, of course. These interruptions are far from threatening, otherwise they wouldn't have gone untten, but for Emma, who likes to be quiet. This kind of interruption was enough to make her happy.
"No, now that it's settled, that doesn't matter anymore." Emma shook her head and said, "I'm just not sure I'm going to fit in with life over there, and more importantly, I don't want our daughter to fit in there." β
Bell fell silent.
He understands Emma, and if there is only one person in the world who understands her thoughts, it must be him.
"Okay." After a long time, Bell said with a wry smile.
Emma smiled warmly, then walked over and hugged Bell, "I need you to do me a favor." β
"Huh?"
"Visiting the boss for me, I think that although the process was not pleasant, it is only a transfer after all, and it should not affect your relationship with him, especially since he has helped us so much."
Bell smiled wryly again.
Where is this to help Emma, it is obviously a favor to himself, and Lin Sen has not only helped them so much, for him, without Lin Sen, how can there be today's Bell?
"I'll go." Bell nodded and said, "Even if you don't say it, I'll go." βββ
In the end, he chose to hand in the papers, and Lin Sen was somewhat regretful.
This summer, he sent Nastasic, Richards, Suarez and now, Bale. All four of them were players he brought in back then. The iron-clad battalion is a soldier with flowing water, professional football is like this, Lin Sen is not sad about this, but compared to the first two who took the initiative to send away, the departure of the latter two undoubtedly made Lin Sen a little regretful, especially Bale.
For Lin Sen, using Bell's difficult question as an additional question for his manager's exam paper, no matter what the outside world thinks of the final result, it is not what he wants, but in any case, when the time comes, you always have to give an answer, and most importantly, sign your name.
As for how many points he will get in the end, Lin Sen has some bottom in his heart.
The confidence comes from the players he has brought in.
In addition to Musacchio, Linsen has brought in Sanchez and Isco, the former has at least proved in Linsen's memory that his adaptation to the Premier League is not a problem at all, while the latter can be regarded as Pellegrini's favorite player, if even he can't use Isco well, then it is not for Linsen to decide.
Lin Sen asked himself from his own point of view, he has minimized the risk, as for the rest, it can only depend on Pellegrini's ability, as well as God's arrangement.
The transfer window closed, and Lin Sen was relieved.
And Bell, at this very moment, knocked on the door of his residence, yes, not an office, but a residence.
Along with Bell, it's Emma, and their one-year-old daughter.
To be honest, Lin Sen was a bit surprised to see Bale, who had a few phone calls with Belton GuΓ² this summer, as well as a face-to-face meeting. The process was not too pleasant in any way, he originally thought that although the relationship between the two sides would not become too bad because of this, the impact was inevitable, but he did not expect that Bell would come to the door so soon.
However, when I looked at the other party's posture, I somewhat understood Bell's intention.
After entering the house, Boya quickly took over little Alba from Emma's hand, originally Boya thought that Emma would go to Spain with Bale, and wanted to remind her of some things about life in Madrid, but when asked, she learned that Emma would not go to Madrid with Bale for the time being. Boya didn't persuade her, she just dragged Emma to another room, and then left the hall for the two men.
"Why didn't Emma come with you?" After the two women left, Lin Sen asked as he handed Bell a bottle of beer.
"Alba is still young, and she's afraid she won't fit in." Bell took the beer, touched it lightly with Lin Sen, took a sip and said.
Lin Sen nodded. Then he asked, "So, you're going alone?" β
Bell nodded as well, "Barnett has already arranged it." β
The two fell silent again. A moment later, just as the atmosphere was gradually becoming a little dull, Lin Sen broke the silence and asked. "How does it feel?"
This question made Bell suddenly look at Lin Sen.
How does it feel?
For Bell, after a series of twists and turns in the summer. Such a question seemed to him to be undoubtedly very ironic, however, when he saw Lin Sen's expression, he immediately understood that Lin Sen was just asking him this question, because Lin Sen's expression was very calm.
"Complicated." Bell was silent for a long time before he slowly uttered a word.
Yes, not joy, not regret, just complicated.
A strike is not a glorious thing for any player. Bale didn't want to leave Manchester City in this way, he was a hero of the city, and now, the way he left the city, no matter what he thinks, is close to running away in the eyes of Manchester City fans.
But Bell doesn't regret it, and since he did it, he has to go on. He just made a decision, and it may have been wrong, but he didn't feel sorry for anyone, and he had nothing to regret.
Lin Sen smiled and did not speak, but continued to drink.
"Boss ......" another moment later, this time it was Bale who spoke, he still habitually called Linsen when he was still his head coach, "I won't apologize for what happened this summer, but I think you should know one thing, if you were still the head coach, maybe there would be no this summer, as for now, I don't want to excuse anything, it's my will to leave, but in this way...... It wasn't my intention. β
Lin Sen's hand paused for a moment, then nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
Not because of the first half of Bell's sentence, but because of his second half.
As he said to Mubarak before, Bale's transfer is weird, he didn't want to stop Bale from leaving, which Bale knows, then, Bale can leave in another way that everyone is happy with, although the time may be a little later, but with Lin Sen's understanding of Bale, it is absolutely impossible to fight against it by striking because of this, but the reality is that he did it.
Why?
The reason, Lin Sen had actually speculated about it before, and the conversation with Mubarak only determined the direction, and now, Bell's words, is it some kind of Cheng dΓΉ to explain a point.
Looking at Bell, who wanted to speak again and again, Lin Sen shook his head.
Why, the reason doesn't matter now, because Bale is already a Real Madrid player and today he could have not come, as he just said, he didn't need to apologize to anyone, but he still came, still in the way he played with his players.
What can Lin Sen say?
It is taboo to talk deeply, and it is estranged to talk deeply, and in the end, Lin Sen still became the "boss" in Bell's mouth.
