Chapter 18: Good and Bad

Mrs. Cruz is sixty years old this year, is an ordinary resident of Malaga, just retired this year, was a sewing worker before retirement, originally according to the legal retirement age in Spain, she still needs to work for five years before she is officially retired, but the increasingly disobedient physical conditions make her have to retire early, although the pension will be less, but this is also no way, fortunately, her husband belongs to the official retirement, the pension of the two people combined, life is also carefree.

At this time, Mrs. Cruz was standing at the door of a house with a homemade pastry in her hand, and her expression seemed to be a little contradictory, as if she was hesitating whether to ring the doorbell of the house that had not been opened for several days.

It stands to reason that the old lady who has lived here for nearly thirty years should be extremely familiar with the environment here, and she herself is not a sociable person, but not only that, but in this area in the neighborhood, in fact, Mrs. Cruz should be one of the most popular people, because she, who used to be a seamstress, often takes the initiative to help others in this regard, and helpful people are always welcome.

It's just that the enthusiastic old lady encountered an unpleasant thing some time ago. Some time ago, a young couple moved next door to them, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, and they looked very beautiful. So, the enthusiastic old lady made a pastry to visit, but as soon as the door was opened, the young woman gave Mrs. Cruz a cold and wary face, and after Mrs. Cruz explained that she wanted to send the pastry, the woman's face still did not relax, but after all, she accepted the pastry. The old lady thought that this was just the other party's first arrival, but in the evening, when she saw the familiar pastry in the trash can when she was taking out the garbage, the taste completely changed. The old Mr. Cruz, who has a hot personality, ignored the old lady's obstruction, and went directly to the door to ask for an explanation, but he didn't expect the other party's words to directly make the old gentleman speechless.

We don't eat strangers' things, and besides, since things have been given to me, it's my freedom to do with them.

After returning home, the Cruzes, who had never blushed in their lives, blushed for the first time. Therefore, before Mrs. God planned to come to this house again, the old gentleman tried to stop her from being bored, but the old lady still came, but when she fell in front of the door, she seemed to remember what had happened before, but she hesitated a little, and at this time, the door opened by itself.

The door was opened by a young man with black hair and black eyes, who seemed to be startled by the sudden appearance of Mrs. Cruz in front of his door, but when he saw the pastry in his hand, his stunned expression immediately eased.

"Who are you?"

"Uh...... Oh, I live next door to you, and you can call me Mrs. Cruz. Although the old lady was a little surprised that the other party was an Oriental, but after seeing the person, her expression became natural, her face was filled with a warm smile, she pointed to the house next to her, and said, "You are new to move in, right?" I just came over to say hello and welcome you here. It's a little bit of a little thing, and I hope you like it. ”

As she spoke, the old lady handed over the pastry, her eyes paying attention to the other person's expression, consciously or unconsciously, and to her delight, the young man accepted her gift gladly.

"My name is Lin Sen, and it's a pleasure to meet you." The young man's tone was polite, "Thank you for the gift." ”

Then the young man invited her into the house to sit down, and the old lady naturally couldn't really go in and sit down, but the corner of her eye still glanced at the room, and soon her expression became a little strange.

"I'm sorry, I've been busy with work lately, I haven't cleaned up yet, and the house is messy." Apparently noticing the change in his expression, the young man explained with a smile.

"It's good for the lads to work hard." The old lady also smiled and nodded, and then took her leave and left.

When he returned home, as soon as the old gentleman saw that the old lady's hands were empty, he snorted coldly and said don't look back and see it in the trash can, the old lady didn't seem to hear the old man's sarcasm, and when she got home, she babbled about what a good young man or something, the old gentleman listened impatiently, but he was also a little curious, so he asked about the experience, and the old lady said it again, but he didn't think that the old man frowned when he heard it, and asked, "Lin Sen?" Chinese? ”

"I didn't ask, I'm an Oriental anyway."

"You wait." The old gentleman thought for a while, then got up to look for something, and after a while he found a newspaper, and then pointed to a photo in the newspaper and asked if it was this person.

"That's him." The old lady felt a little strange how that young man could appear in the newspaper.

"He's the new head coach of Malaga." The old gentleman was also a little surprised and said.

"The manager? So young? "The old lady's eyes widened, although football is common in Spain, not everyone cares, and the old lady is one of them.

The old gentleman did not answer, perhaps because he felt that the explanation was useless. He is not an avid fan, otherwise it would be impossible for the old lady not to know Lin Sen. Football is just a condiment for him, with or without it will not have much impact on his life, of course, if there is a big event such as the current European Cup, he will still pay attention to it.

The head coach of the local team Malaga has become his own neighbor?

This feeling is like a rare supercar coming across when driving, and two cars that have little to do with each other will eventually stagger and run towards their respective destinations except for novelty.

In her ears, the old lady began to chant again.

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

The European Cup is still in full swing, Livermore is still anxious, Little Sans is still ignoring, and Linsen is still in dire straits.

The determination is good, but the process is difficult.

Nineteen teams, leagues plus cups, more than 400 games, speaking of which, Linson has to thank for his short coaching career at Atletico Madrid, because the end of that experience was not a happy one, but at least it allows him to watch a lot less video now. It's just that there are still a lot of videos left, ninety minutes per game, pinch the head and end to filter out some time that has nothing to do with the game, even if you watch ten games a day, it will take more than a month, not to mention that every game, Lin Sen has to make his own records, so, to use a vulgar phrase to describe it, Lin Sen now doesn't even have time to jerk off, let alone clean up the house.

It wasn't until today that Linson received a call from Livermore asking him to go to the club, and he didn't plan to go out, but he didn't expect to run into Mrs. Cruz when he opened the door.

For Mrs. Cruz's visit, Lin Sen, who often "moves", is naturally not unfamiliar, although not new to every place can meet, but for the way to build a good relationship between such neighbors, Lin Sen is not exclusive anyway, there are bad people in this world, there are good people, don't complain when you meet bad people, don't shirk when you meet good people. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, which Lin Sen, who has been in a foreign country all the year round, has more experiences that others do not have, especially coupled with his Chinese identity.

Although with the rise of China in recent years, the concept of foreign countries towards the Chinese is slowly improving, but it is undeniable that many people still have a kind of almost blind discrimination against the Chinese, among European countries, Spain is just one of the countries where this kind of discrimination is more common. Take Linsen's own short coaching process in Atletico Madrid as an example, not to mention that Atletico Madrid's senior management has never looked at him as an acting coach, and even the fans' opinion of him has not changed much.

It's not that Lin Sen hasn't encountered this kind of thing, he doesn't want to complain about anything, if someone steps on him, he will step back; If someone helped him, then he would never be stingy with his thanks, simple and direct. People respect me for a foot, I respect people, people destroy me, I take people three fights, this has always been Lin Sen's principle of life, the so-called respect, this is how it was established. It is not by the benefit of the tongue, nor by the drum of the pocket, the so-called convincing people with virtue is too idealistic.

Rushed to the club, as soon as he saw Livermore, he threw a copy of the document to Lin Sen, Lin Sen picked it up and flipped a few pages, it is the contract information of all the current players of the team, including the contract period, annual salary, special terms, etc., originally Lin Sen did not need to know these things, but since Malaga has handed over the transfer rights to him, there is naturally no need to hide it from him.

Lin Sen just skimmed it hastily, closed the text, turned his head and asked Livermore with a smile How the negotiation results in Italy were, before that, Lin Sen already knew that Livermore had reached an agreement on behalf of Malaga and Inter Milan to loan Bonucci for free for one season, just waiting for the player to nod, and then Livermore concentrated all the funds on Ranocchia, in the form of cash plus special terms, that is, a secondary transfer commission.

"One million two hundred thousand plus fifty percent of the next transfer. 1.5 million plus 30 per cent of the next transfer. I gave Arezzo two options. And as you mean, they have been informed that this is the last offer. Livermore replied calmly, "They haven't replied yet." ”

Lin Sen nodded.

For the duo of Bonucci and Ranocchia, and now Malaga, that's the best they can do, and let it be fate. However, Lin Sen is still quite confident in the completion of these two transactions.

Bonucci naturally doesn't need to say much, Malaga is a La Liga team and is willing to help Inter Milan practice for free, Inter's nod is expected, and Bonucci has no reason to object. And Ranocchia's transfer is more obstacle in the club, Málaga's only opponent is **, but Malaga's advantage is that ** attaches great importance to this deal Cheng Dù is far less than himself, and the offer made by Málaga without sparing any effort is not inferior to **.
