Chapter 37: The Young Marshal
Dina's life has not changed at all, working hard when she is working and working hard when she is resting.
Resinau's arrival did not change Dina's position on the coaching staff, she is still the head strength and conditioning coach, and it has to be said that Recino did question her ability at first, but soon, when Dina put her pre-season fitness reserve plan in front of him, he kept his mouth shut. Outside of work, Dina's focus still revolves around Nora.
Little Nora has reached the age of kindergarten, because of the need to work, Dina specially hired a nanny to pick up Nora, and then wait for Dina to get off work before picking up Nora, when it comes to rest days, Dina will take Nora around to play, but most of the time, little Nora will follow Dina's parents Dias and his wife, the little girl also likes to go to the Dias couple, obviously, in the matter of making children happy, the Dias couple is much more experienced than Dina.
In fact, how Dina didn't know why her parents would take Nora away at every opportunity, it was nothing more than to give her as much time as possible to create zào private time, but as everyone knows, the main reason why Dina adopted Nora was because she liked Nora, but she didn't have the mentality of coping with her parents.
In fact, Dina has no shortage of suitors, according to most people's standards, Dina is not ten points, but she also has eight points. For the suitor, Dina doesn't refuse, basically how to do it, and then, she can always let the other party die that heart in a timely manner, in order to achieve this purpose, Dina has performed a good show of holding hands with her best friend more than once.
The relationship with Lin Sen is an exception.
The last time the two of them had an "accident" in China seemed to be really an accident, and after that, the two seemed to have returned to the previous state where they could make any joke. However, for that agreement, although Lin Sen is not sure whether Dina will really change jobs, Dina is serious, but after Lin Sen confirmed that he will coach Malaga, Dina's disapproval is also serious.
However, with Dina witnessing Linson lead Malaga to defeat Atletico Madrid in Calderón and complete the revenge in the eyes of many, as Linsen initially established his position in Malaga with three consecutive wins, and then defeated Real Madrid to prove the quality of Málaga, a dark horse in the eyes of many, and now Malaga has extended his winning streak to seven games......
Dina knew that the agreement between herself and Lin Sen was probably getting closer and closer to reality.
------------
When Romero blew the final whistle, there was inevitably some applause at the Pizjuan Stadium, which had been cheering more than boos this season, and Linson stood up calmly, because the boos were not for him, but for his opponent.
Sevilla's home game against Malaga would have looked more like an ordinary league game in normal times, however, this game has now become the most eye-catching match of the round, as the two sides of the game are currently top of the league with seven wins. The other team is currently in third place, unbeaten in seven games, with five wins and two draws. So, it's a veritable battle of focus.
The game ended with a dull 0-0 result.
If there is one side that is better, it is that Malaga has more chances than Sevilla.
This is also the reason why Sevilla, who are already in the top three of the league, are still booed, and everyone likes to do this kind of thing, especially the one behind the first birdie. Sevilla fans enthusiastically hoped that the team could take advantage of the home advantage to change the current unbeaten teams in La Liga from three to two, but they never thought that the home team would play more conservatively than Malaga.
Jimenez, who took over from former manager Juan de Ramos in the middle of last October who had left for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, did not have Linsen's calmness on his face, and his face was a little ugly, of course, not because of the game, but because of the boos.
This is not the first time that he has been booed by such unwarranted boos, having been booed by fans when Sevilla beat Bilbao 4-1 at home in the final round of last season. Fortunately, Sevilla's president, Del Nido, and sporting director Monchi both gave him absolute support, and Jimenez stayed.
Sevilla have had an excellent run of results so far this season, and Jimenez clearly didn't expect a draw and a reminder of last season's grievances.
Jimenez knew where the boos of the fans came from, and it was nothing more than remembering Málaga's status as a promoted horse and then choosing to forget about Málaga's current leader.
So, the fans are sometimes really unreasonable.
Ximenez was a little tired in his heart, but for Lin Sen, who came over to shake his hand, the smile on his face was real.
Due to historical reasons, Malaga has actually always regarded Sevilla as a mortal enemy, because Sevilla had indirectly led Malaga's relegation in the eighties of the last century, but Sevilla did not take Malaga seriously, although Malaga has always been their bitter master, and interestingly, both Malaga and Sevilla have a common mortal enemy, that is, Real Betis.
Sevilla and Betis are mortal enemies because they are enemies in the same city. The reason why Malaga regards Betis as a sworn enemy is a bit wishful thinking, because although the two teams belong to the same region, Málaga does not regard Sevilla, which is also in the same region, as a derby rival, so the tiger can only find the lion to duel, and the rabbit can only find the tortoise to race.
Lin Sen, who learned about this history at the time, was a little dumbfounded, football is so interesting, sometimes, some irrelevant things can often be connected together, and then make you amazed.
Like Malaga's previous three opponents, Valladolid, Huelva and Getafe.
Three opponents, Málaga beat them all with the same scoreline: 1-0. Linsen is actually no stranger to these three teams, because two of them are exactly two of the seven games that Linsen played with Atletico last season, and the only team that has not met Getafe, their head coach is Muñoz, the manager of Huelva last season.
Jimenez looked at the young coach in front of him, who is currently in the limelight in La Liga, and suddenly felt that he was old. It stands to reason that at the age of forty-four, he is already a few young in the coaching world, but this year's La Liga seems to have suddenly changed the sky, as if it has become the world of young marshals. Not to mention Linsen, who is less than 30 years old, Unai Emery, who is currently leading Valencia to second place in the standings with an unbeaten record, is only 36 years old, and Pep Guardiola, who led Barcelona to start the attacking wind, is 37 years old......
At present, only Jimenez is over 40 years old among the top four teams in La Liga.
Of course, age is not the reason why Ximenez showed a sincere smile to Linsen, the deeper reason is that the resumes of the two coaching top teams are almost identical, the same took over the team in the middle of last season, and the same team has a good record but is not treated well by the fans, but Ximenez's experience is much better than Linsen, because of his rich experience in Sevilla's second team, Sevilla's senior management absolutely supports him, on the contrary, Linsen is not so lucky.
At that time, Jimenez agreed to Monchi to loan Duda to Malaga for free, but this was not without this factor. Thinking of the fact that after the last round of the league, Linsen's Malaga won seven consecutive victories, while Atletico Madrid lost 6-1 at home at the feet of Barcelona, Jimenez couldn't help but smile even more: I don't know how the people of Atletico Madrid felt at that time?
Lin Sen naturally didn't expect that Ximenez's smile contained such a reason, he only knew that the other party was very friendly, so he was also very friendly, and then, his focus had shifted to the next game.
It's not Barcelona, the second stop of the devil's schedule, but the Copa del Rey where it's the turn of La Liga teams at this time.
-----------------
Like the domestic cups of many European countries, the Copa del Rey, which was once even heavier than the league, inevitably lost its due attraction to the giants in the face of the Champions League, and gradually became a place for substitutes to find form and young players to exercise. Of course, this is only for the giants, and for the small teams, the contempt of the giants has made this competition a fast track to winning the championship, not to mention, the team that wins the Copa del Rey can also directly qualify for next season's Europa League.
In order to avoid the number of matches played by La Liga teams, the Copa del Rey, which used to be cumbersome for La Liga teams, is now much simpler, La Liga teams do not need to participate in the initial knockout rounds, but directly participate in the later home and away two-legged matches, Malaga's luck is not bad, there is no low team that is desperately trying to come up, and there are no giants, their opponent is La Liga team Mallorca.
And their head coach is the former Atletico Madrid coach Manzano who entered the palace. For Linson, Manzano caught his attention not only because of his status as a former Atletico Madrid manager, but also because Manzano is another manager who has led the team to win the Copa del Rey, and in the 0203 season, Manzano led Mallorca to win the Copa del Rey with Eto'o in the team at the time.
Obviously, Manzano will not give up on the Copa del Rey that once brought him glory.
As for Málaga, the club's top management actually did not set any indicators for Linson, that is, where to play, however, Malaga's excellent performance in the league, at least the fans certainly do not want the team to give up this competition, and the coaching staff has not reached a clear conclusion, Tapia's opinion is not to give up.
His reasoning is that although Malaga are currently top of the league, the league is still a long way off, but at least Malaga has proven that Málaga is capable of beating strong teams, so instead of fighting for the league, it is better to fight for the Copa del Rey. Moreover, in fact, this event only affects a few league games, and if you are lucky, you can even avoid strong teams.
Regarding Tapia's opinion, Lin Sen still has reservations.
If nothing else, but because the first leg against Mallorca and the match against Barcelona were only three days apart.
This will be the first time this season that Málaga will face a double week.
-----------------
PS: Originally, I didn't plan to let Malaga start so smoothly, and even Real Madrid's game was originally scheduled to draw, but it was written and written to win, and then it was seven consecutive wins, which seems to be a matter of course, which is actually a little different from the established outline, I originally wanted to change it, but after thinking about it, I decided not to change it, which is good, and I didn't need to write Atletico Madrid rolls before to open and hang for the sake of hanging, and there is no need to be bumpy at this time. What's the matter, this volume is also the main character's fame volume.
I couldn't help but be verbose, I hope it won't affect everyone's mood of reading, forgive me.
