Chapter Seventy-Five: The Golden Generation 7
"You think I'm comforting you?"
Seeing Francis's expression, how could Lin Sen not know what he was thinking, so he smiled and said. "≤ Ding" ≤ "≤ Xiao" said, "≤ said,
"Isn't it?" At this moment, Francis said, the trace of respect that had always been maintained seemed to be forgotten for the time being.
Lin Sen noticed the change in Francis's tone, but he didn't care, he would say that, and naturally he could think of how the other party would react, saying that a person is a genius, sometimes of course it is a compliment, but sometimes, it is not much different from issuing a good person card, Lin Sen does not think that he is the first person to discover Francis's talent, but Francis is still "reduced" here, and needs to try out with a mediocre League One team like Cambridge United, which is very revealing.
"You're a genius, it's a pity ......"
Lin Sen believed that Francie had heard this sentence many times, and the first time he heard this sentence, perhaps Francis would be deeply inspired, and the second time he heard it, he might feel a little frowned, and the third and fourth time...... This sentence, in Francis's opinion, is only the second half of the sentence, and even, it is a complete irony.
"So, do you think you can get to where you are today entirely by your own efforts?" Lin Sen didn't answer Francis's words, but asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it?" Francis is still saying this.
Looking at Francis's instantly sharp gaze, Lin Sen still smiled and shook his head, "Of course not, no, to be exact, it shouldn't be all." ”
"There are many kinds of geniuses in this world, but they can be roughly divided into two kinds, one is talented, the other is hard-working, as the literal meaning, I believe that these two types of geniuses refer to, I don't need to explain, almost all the world's geniuses think. There is no escaping either of these categories. I think you'd think you'd be the latter. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Sen glanced at Francis, and Francie's lips moved at this time, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, but Lin Sen did not stop his words.
"Maybe you think that the latter is not a genius at all, because genius, literally, is a natural talent, but you don't think that your talent is born. But believe me, it's really not a modest kind of humility. Because the latter is much more respectable than the former. I don't deny that you must have put in a lot of effort, but don't forget, an ugly duckling can become a swan, but a sparrow can never become a phoenix. ”
Linson didn't want to hit Francis, it wouldn't be good for him, instead, he wanted to give Francis some "good". Because only in this way will the other party bring "benefits" to themselves.
Lin Sen could have turned today's conversation into a harmonious one, leaving the other party with an amiable and high-ranking image, but that was not what he wanted. Because in that case, Cambridge United may be able to keep Francis for a while, but it will definitely not be able to tie him down, and the small temple will not be able to accommodate the big Buddha. Unless this big Buddha is willing to bend down and wait for the small temple to become a big temple.
Therefore, Lin Sen hopes that the impression he will leave on Francis in front of him is not just a successful coach, nor is it just the decider of this "trial".
Lin Sen's words. Let Francis's breath stop.
On the topic of the so-called genius, Lin Sen used a very straightforward analogy, the ugly duckling and the sparrow, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two, they are so inconspicuous, but in fact, the two have an essential difference, the ugly duckling can become a swan because it is originally a swan, and the sparrow can never become a phoenix, because the sparrow is never a phoenix.
So. Is he an ugly duckling or a sparrow?
"What I'm going to say next is not in the person you think I am, but as a doctor, and with the marks that the accident left on your legs, normally you wouldn't have been able to play football. But the truth is, not only did you get on the pitch, but you played well. Do you think this can be changed just by your efforts? No, you're wrong, the truth is, if you hadn't had that accident, maybe you wouldn't have liked football, but if you had stepped on the pitch, you might have been better than you are now. ”
"Of course, these are all in the past, whether you are a genius or not, there is no need to argue about this, I will say, if you were given a chance to get your leg back to normal, would you be willing?"
This is what Lin Sen wants to say.
From the moment he called Francis in front of him, Lin Sen had been driving his plug-in, and the target was Francis's legs. And after such a long period of observation, Lin Sen found that Francis's leg is actually not without the possibility of recovery, of course, full recovery is impossible, but if it is just that Francie is no different from ordinary people when walking, Lin Sen thinks that he is more than sixty percent sure.
"Nope." Without thinking, Francis shook his head.
"I'm not kidding." Lin Sen knew that Francis must have thought he was just assuming, so he said again.
"Really?" Francis was stunned for a moment, but soon, he shook his head, "Still no." ”
"Why?" At this time, Lin Sen, who was surprised, was a little curious.
"Because it's not necessary." Francis was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm used to it, and now I'm getting back to normal, maybe ...... I won't be able to walk. ”
“……”
Lin Sen had nothing to say.
What can he say? What Francis said is the truth. When a person gets used to something, it doesn't matter to him what it is or whether it's normal or not.
"And." At this point, Francis said, "It's good now, at least my father will easily find me in heaven." ”——
"How?" After Francis left, Bonaire leaned over and asked.
"How's that?" Lin Sen stood up from the grass, patted his butt and clapped his hands, and said casually.
"You're not pointing at him?"
"Fingering?" Lin Sen smiled, "yes, just tell him that his breakthrough is too dependent on his left foot." ”
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"Didn't you talk about signing a contract?" Bonaire said a little unwillingly.
"When it comes to signing contracts, Francis, like everyone else, will naturally have someone in charge, what the hell do I do." Lin Sen shook his head and said, "By the way, Xiao will ask you." ”
Bonaire nodded.
"One more thing." Just as Lin Sen was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, "Has Tang been here in the past few days?" ”
"He's coming a lot more often than you." Bonaire replied. "I come almost every day, but I haven't come today."
Lin Sen nodded, then waved his hand and turned to leave.
Looking at Lin Sen's distant back, Bonaire paused in place for a moment, and then quickly turned around and returned to the training ground.
For Bonaire, everything is the same as the previous times, Lin Sen came here alone and watched a few training matches, which is usually not too long. Like today, it is already considered long, and then, Lin Sen will leave. But Bonaire doesn't often ask Lin Sen like he just did, and Lin Sen basically doesn't say anything to him, of course, there is a relationship between the two identities. As for why Bonaire asked today, it was obviously because something interesting had come up today.
For example, Linson interviewed Francis alone, for example. The appearance of Xiao Zhixing.
Actually, Bonaire didn't quite understand why Lin Sen appeared here from time to time, although he was happy to understand this as an emphasis on him, but the reason was obviously not so simple. As the owner of Cambridge United. Lin Sen's appearance was a surprise, but it was definitely not necessary, and today, Bonaire understood a little bit why Lin Sen came here in person.
Lin Sen's current identity is not a coach. But, after all, he used to be a coach -
"Brought it?"
As soon as Lin Sen returned home, Boya who poked his head out of the kitchen asked.
Lin Sen snorted lightly. "He's doing well." ”
"Good performance? Didn't he just pass? ”
"I didn't bother to convince Bonaire, so I just put him in two training matches." Walking into the kitchen, Lin Sen hugged Boya who was washing vegetables from behind, and his two hands suddenly began to be dishonest.
"Don't make a fuss." Boya struggled slightly, "Speaking of which, how do you know that Xiao has this talent?" ”
"Don't you still know your husband's vision?" Lin Sen, who decisively didn't let Boya break free, smiled, "Besides, haven't you also seen his performance on the court?" ”
"That doesn't mean anything, does it?" "A competition between schools. ”
"There's always something to see." Lin Sen said.
The process of "excavating" Xiao Zhixing is actually very similar to the process of understanding the same person as Lin Sen, this is Tang Hua. It's all on the school's football field, the difference is that it's domestic and it's foreign. Lin Sen and Boya coincidentally finally found free time to go to Cambridge University for a romantic time, and the two came to the sports field of Cambridge University very coincidentally, and then happened to see a game, and finally Lin Sen happened to see Xiao Zhixing.
The process of persuading Xiao Zhixing to come to the Cambridge United training camp was much smoother than Tang Hua back then, on the one hand, it was naturally because of Lin Sen's fame in the UK, on the other hand, it has to be said that Xiao Zhixing's interest in football also accounted for a large proportion. Of course, although the process of getting to know each other is very similar, and it seems that the two are also very similar in terms of image, they are both polite, however, the feeling that the two give to Lin Sen is definitely different.
Tang Hua's personality is more introverted, and to exaggerate it is to say that he has some inferiority, of course, this is related to his background, and now Tang Hua can no longer see anything related to inferiority. Communicating with Tang Hua, you may feel a little dull, but you will unconsciously give more trust. And Xiao Zhixing is different, this is a very perfect young man, his appearance, IQ and EQ are close to exploding, to use a more fashionable expression, the so-called male god in the mouth of girls is like this.
However, although Xiao Zhixing seems to be as restrained, it is precisely the disguise of his self-confidence, when Lin Sen and Xiao Zhixing first met, the conversation time was not very long, but Xiao Zhixing's conversation has already given Lin Sen a very deep impression. It's just that it is precisely because of this that compared to Tang Hua, Xiao Zhixing always gives Lin Sen an unreal feeling.
Of course, what Lin Sen wants is just Xiao Zhixing on the court. (To be continued......)
