Chapter 9 I am Lin

When he heard the phrase "I am Lin", Rinaldi, who realized who was on the other side of the phone, was a little surprised.

In March, when he returned to Brazil with Linsen's Jianyì, he only realized how serious the problem was after meeting Adriano, and the termination process with Inter Milan was not very pleasant, but Rinaldi knew that Adriano was the one who should be responsible, and in many people's words, he was self-inflicted.

But Rinaldi didn't actually intend to accept Linsen's proposal in the first place, allowing a player who had just been selected for the Brazilian national team to suddenly give up a qiē? Even if he has just been expelled from the national team and terminated by the club, it is difficult for you to make such a decision, otherwise, how could clubs such as Flamengo, Sao Paulo, Corinthians contact him in the first place to try to sign Ade, but unfortunately they are only willing to provide a six-month contract, which is enough to show their mentality.

Everyone wants to take advantage of the cheap, and no one wants to take the risk. Adriano's glorious past and his age make him look like the legendary pufferfish, which everyone knows is delicious, but everyone knows it's dangerous. Save Ade? That's just a slogan, it really comes at a price, and this is exactly the situation Adriano faced at that time.

What makes Rinaldi even more helpless is that everyone knows what Adriano's problems are, only Adriano himself seems to be unaware. When Rinaldi asked him which club he was going to choose to go to, he wasn't even interested in asking which club had a higher salary, but just said casually with a casual expression. Then, Rinaldi remembered Lin Sen's Jianyì, so he tried to ask: So. Take a break first?

Adriano's reaction was a bright-eyed look, yes. It was just that his eyes lit up, and Rinaldi still clearly remembers Ade's gaze at that moment. Especially in contrast to his previous expression, it was even more obvious, after his eyes lit up, he glanced at Naldi with an inquiring gaze, and replied: Maybe, yes.

Although it carries "maybe", there is no question mark about "maybe".

What can Rinaldi say? He only remembered Lin Sen's words.

For a few months, Rinaldi asked Adriano to do what he wanted, clubs, women, partying...... Daniela had come to him more than once to ask where Adriano had gone, every time. Rinaldi was speechless.

Is this really appropriate? Rinaldi asked himself this more than once, and then, naturally, he thought of the person who made him do it. Frankly speaking, Rinaldi did not suspect Lin Sen's motives, but he really couldn't find anything beneficial to Lin Sen in this matter, so he could only continue to wait.

Finally, half a month ago. Rinaldi waited for what he had been waiting for: Adriano himself came and told him that I wanted to play.

The overjoyed Rinaldi immediately contacted Adriano to go home, but Adriano, who had been abandoned for a few months, was no longer the high-ranking Inter king. Not to mention those European clubs, even those Brazilian teams that were willing to sign Ade half a year ago began to speak coldly. Only flamenco table xiàn out of some enthusiasm, however. Just yesterday, Rinaldi and their first negotiations lasted less than ten minutes before they broke up.

The contract offered by Flamengo is only one year. It's not a problem, they offer an annual salary of only a million dollars, it's not a problem either, what angers Rinaldi is the way this annual salary is paid, Flamengo intends to pay it on a weekly basis. If they still hide their distrust of Ade half a year ago, then this time, it is obvious that they have saved even the time to cover up.

It's just that anger turned to anger, and after calming down, Rinaldi sadly found that Adriano seemed to be really difficult to go back. Thinking of this, Rinaldi was a little angry with Lin Sen, if it weren't for Lin Sen's Jianyì, why would he be in this situation.

At this time, Lin Sen's call came, and, with a contract.

This is the first invitation from Europe that Ade has received since bidding farewell to Serie A.

It's not a trial, it's not a short-term contract, it's a contract for two years.

Rinaldi almost agreed directly to Linsen, but he knew that in this matter, his attitude was not important, Adriano's was important, because Adriano did tell him that he wanted to play, but Adriano also said that he was tired of Europe. I had to tell Sù Linsen first, and he would try to facilitate the matter, but he couldn't give Linsen any guarantees.

Fortunately, Lin Sen said that he would wait for his good news.

After hanging up the call with Rinadi, Linson quickly dialed another number, which had been on his phone for less than three days, Brian Marwood.

"Brian? I'm Lin. When Marwood's slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, Lin Sen said straight to the point, "Do you have time?" Let's meet and talk about transfers. ”

Ma Wood, who didn't expect Lin Sen to call at this time, had to be as surprised as Rinaldi at this time, because he originally thought that Lin Sen would contact him after a week, that was the time when Lin Sen submitted the transfer plan, and it was also the beginning of the real cooperation between the two, so he subconsciously replied: "Your transfer plan is complete?" ”

It was just that as soon as he finished asking, Marwood knew that the sentence he was asking was pure nonsense.

This is not a football manager game, the transfer only needs a few random clicks of the mouse, enter a few names, you can start one quote after another, and you can get a qiē in a few minutes. The real transfer process is so complicated that it wouldn't have been played out several times a summer. Not to mention anything else, just Lin Sen's current work, although it seems simple, but in fact every goal needs a "verification" process, if Lin Sen is just a simple coaching role, then he can be a little easier, just need to say what requirements or specific names, and the next work will be taken over by him as the director of football, but now Lin Sen is not a simple head coach.

Sure enough, Lin Sen laughed and replied with a smile, how could it be.

Lin Sen means that he wants to exchange opinions with Marwood on the forward transformation plan first, not only the forward line, but also every step of the next transfer plan, Lin Sen intends to take the lead in communicating with Marwood. On this point, Lin Sen's idea is very simple, he and Marwood's ideas must not be the same, but they can't all be different, no matter what Marwood thinks of himself, at least, it's always okay to seek common ground while reserving differences, after all, it is imperative to work out the transfer plan as much as possible.

"Headquarters? Or Carrington? Marwood didn't hesitate, and directly asked the meeting place, only to think that Lin Sen lived in Carrington, so he quickly added, "Carrington, I'll be there in half an hour." ”

"Okay. I'll wait for you. For this little gesture of favor from Marwood, Lin Sen smiled and accepted it calmly.

Half an hour later.

Lin Sen and Marwood met in a conference room in Carrington, Lin Sen didn't say much, the same was straight to the point, he first introduced the other party's tactical blueprint for the new season Manchester City, of course, this Lin Sen is not to discuss with the other party, because the tactical level of affairs, not to mention Heywood, even Mubarak can not interfere, the reason why I want to introduce this to the other party first, is just to let the other party know what kind of requirements the next forward transformation is based on.

Then, Linson gave his forward transformation plan.

Ten players, six were purged, four were left, five were brought in, one went and one came, ten became nine, and the number of players did not seem to have changed much, but in fact, the composition has changed a lot. Of the original ten players, there are only two authentic wing players, that is, Petrov and Wright Jr. left by Linsen, and the other six who played the main position of strikers last season, and the forward line after the transformation is obviously more diverse, and the five players planned to be introduced, only two of them are introduced as strikers, and the other three, replaced by normal positioning, can actually be regarded as offensive midfielders, not to mention that Suarez as a striker can actually play on both sides.

A dozen names, not unfamiliar, Marwood swept them away, and then began to chew on the meaning of these names in his heart.

Marwood didn't speak, and neither did Linson. Marwood was thinking slowly, and Lin Sen was waiting patiently.

After a long time, Marwood finally spoke, and the first words he said did not surprise Lin Sen.

"You're going to let Robinho play on the wing?"

Linsen's formation for Manchester City in the new season is 4231, which is his usual formation in Malaga, which the board of directors was mentally prepared for when selecting Linsen, so this is not a problem, even with, a single striker means that Manchester City's overly bloated forward line will face a large-scale reshuffle, so Linsen's cleaning plan is also expected, and this is not a problem.

The problem is that now Linson is clearly not putting City's biggest card at the moment in the card's favourite position. Because Linson intends to bring in two strikers, plus Bellamy, if it is only to be a substitute for Robinho, this is obviously too much.

"Yes." Lin Sen nodded and said lightly, but did not give any other explanation.

"Do you think Robinho can handle it?" Marwood frowned.

'I'll let him accept that, and I'll talk to him about that when Robinho returns.'

Lin Sen's words, finally Ma Wood's brows were slightly relieved, he nodded slightly, and reluctantly agreed with Lin Sen's statement, and then, he asked the second question.

"Isn't it a little too risky to have two strikers?"

Two strikers, one Suarez and one Adriano. So the meaning of "adventure" in Marwood's mouth is not difficult to understand, Suarez is good at Ajax, but in the end, he has never proven himself in the mainstream league, let Robinho make way for him, can he give a convincing table? This is a big doubt. Another striker, Adriano, is also in doubt, in terms of fame, the Brazilian is not smaller than Robinho, but everyone knows where Adriano's problem is, bringing him in, even if it costs nothing, is a risk for Manchester City.
