At the press conference, Lin Sen said it to reporters, and it was for the fans.
But Pellegrini, who was far away in Chile in South America but still watched the press conference on time, knew that Linsen's words were actually meant for him.
No manager wants to be paired with a strong manager, even if that manager can give him the players he wants, and Manuel Pellegrini is no exception, not to mention that manager is his predecessor. But even if Pellegrini was depressed in his heart, he had to admit at this time that Lin Sen's press conference had calmed his originally irritable heart a lot.
It should be said that for Linsen, Pellegrini has a good opinion of him, one is that Linsen started from scratch, he can be regarded as a witness, and even when Linsen was ridiculed at the Atletico Madrid press conference, he also spoke for Linsen, of course, those words back then, more just out of spontaneity, he didn't expect Linsen to have such great achievements later, the two, the coaching trajectory of the two, the intersection is not only the current Manchester City, before coming to Manchester City, Pellegrini's former club, which is Málaga.
In addition, there is still a bit of a personal relationship between the two, although it is only limited to sending text messages, but the relationship is not bad anyway.
After turning off the computer, Pellegrini muttered for a long time, he's wondering if he should call Linson.
Normally, at this time, the manager should call the head coach, because the next summer's work, at least on the surface, is still led by the manager, and the head coach is more about giving direction. Of course, if Pellegrini has someone to look at, he can naturally bring it up. But by this time, Linson had already signaled to himself in England at a press conference, and Pellegrini felt compelled to respond.
It is true that Lin Sen's return has certainly brought him troubles, and these troubles are probably difficult to completely eliminate with just a few words from Lin Sen, but Lin Sen has at least proved one thing through these words that he could have said without saying it, and he does not want this matter to continue to develop in the wrong direction. Therefore, he directly snuffed out the possibility that could have become his back road.
In this case, Pellegrini can certainly continue to be unhappy, but there is no other possibility than to add to his own blockage.
Finally, with a sigh, Pellegrini pressed the number given by Marwood—
This was the first time Linsen had spoken to Manuel Pellegrini as a Manchester City manager, and Linsen had expected the atmosphere to be a little more solemn, but in fact. One qiē is normal, the two first greeted each other as friends, and even made a little joke before entering their respective identities. There was an exchange that was not long or short.
Pellegrini's appearance, to be honest, made Linsen a little impressed, but in fact, it is not difficult to understand, just look at the engineer's coaching resume to know.
I've traveled a lot. It's a lot more rugged, and a little bump is nothing.
"Pellegrini?" Sitting on the sofa opposite Lin Sen. Tang Hua asked with a smile.
Lin Sen nodded, and then smiled, "It seems that my words are not in vain." ”
"You don't have to." Tang Hua shook his head and said, "Sooner or later, he will have to accept it, and it will be soon." ”
"That's a process, too." Lin Sen shook his head, "Pellegrini is a good coach, I don't want to make a difference, it's good. ”
"......" Tang Hua thought for a moment, and stopped talking.
"Just tell me what you wanted, when did you become sluggish?" Seeing Tang Hua's appearance, Lin Sen said.
"I know you didn't deny at the press conference that you might be the head coach again, but you said that the contract has no term......" Tang Hua said with some hesitation.
Tang Hua's question, Lin Sen suddenly understood, and he smiled dumbly.
"This is a small agreement I made with Mubarak. In fact, it is not that there is no term, because a contract is a contract, and the contract I just signed is three years, but there is a special clause in the contract, that is, if one day I receive an invitation that I am interested in, I can leave at any time. Lin Sen said lightly.
"Mubarakken agreed to such a clause?" Tang Hua couldn't help but say with some surprise when he heard this.
Even if he knows what Linson means to Manchester City, but as Linson said just now, a contract is a contract, this kind of overlord clause can almost be said to be similar to the NBA's superstar trade veto, as we all know, NBA player transactions are absolutely different from football, in the NBA, generally speaking, when the team is ready to trade players, players do not have much choice, but the trade veto can veto the club's deal, for example, Kobe Bryant, who plays for the Lakers, has such a privilege, So this clause is also called the overlord clause, of course, for the player, it is a noble privilege that symbolizes status.
"If he doesn't accept it, I won't come back." Lin Sen shrugged his shoulders and said, "So, it's very simple. ”
Tang Hua was speechless for a moment, but smiled bitterly in his heart.
Envy is not envious, the terms are overlords, yes, but he knows better than anyone else, that is, the people in front of him are more qualified to enjoy Manchester City's terms than anyone else, who made more than half of the trophies in Manchester City's Hall of Honor brought by him?
After a pause, Tang Hua took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Actually, I came today, and I want to hear your opinion on one more thing." ”
"Huh?" Sensing the change in Tang Hua's tone, Lin Sen asked with a positive face.
"I ......" Although he had just made a decision, when he was about to say it, Tang Hua hesitated, "I received an invitation. ”
"Invite?" Lin Sen's expression moved.
"Hmm." After speaking, Tang Hua's tone finally softened, "Cambridge United." ”
"Cambridge United ......" Lin Sen was a little stunned.
Don't blame him for being unheard, but Cambridge University is much more famous than Cambridge United, and of course, Linsen still has an impression of this team, in the 11/12 season. Manchester City and this team met in the League Cup, and the other party was a dark horse at the time, of course, Manchester City did not give the other party any chance to go dark to the end, and I don't know if the other party fell in love with Tang Hua at that time.
"Head coach?" As soon as Lin Sen's words came out, he felt redundant, Cambridge United is currently a team in League Two, that is, the fourth tier of England, although Tang Hua is young. But he is also one of the coaching team members of the championship team, and if he holds other positions, it is impossible to impress Tang Hua at all.
Sure enough, Tang Hua nodded.
The longer you stand next to the manager, the stronger the desire to coach, especially next to Linsen. Tang Hua didn't need to hide this, and he didn't hesitate because of this, what made him hesitate a little was that he wasn't sure that Lin Sen was in favor of him going.
What surprised Tang Hua was a little. Lin Sen was silent for a moment, and then only answered him with one word.
Go.
Go, Tang Hua should go, he shouldn't stop him.
This is the conclusion that Lin Sen came to after a short period of thought.
A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. This quote can be misinterpreted on many occasions, but at this time, put it here, it is what it meant in the first place. Tang Hua is a genius. Lin Sen has known this for a long time, but where is his limit? Is he only suited to be a technical coach? Lin Sen didn't know this. He doesn't deny that he has selfish thoughts, such as his decision to become a Manchester City manager this time. But he is not a selfish person, and before making a decision, he consulted his entire coaching team, because it is impossible for him to run to be a manager himself, leaving the rest of the team who rely on him idle.
When he went to Spain, he approached Dina, who gave him a positive reply, and then he consulted Tang Hua and Ariel, both of whom nodded the same head, and as for Given, who still has a contract with Manchester City, it is impossible for him to object. Then, Lin Sen went to Portugal to find Mendes.
Now, Tang Hua is ready to try it, how can Lin Sen object?
Of course, this is also because the object is precisely Cambridge United.
English football has always been xenophobic, which can be seen from the harsh labor certification, and this kind of xenophobia, is not limited to players, Tang Hua wants to become the head coach, yes, his experience around Lin Sen can give him a lot of help, but his age, but is a fatal constraint, for players, young is an advantage, but for the head coach, young, but equal to lack of experience, if Tang Hua now receives an invitation, let alone the Premier League, even if it is the Championship or League One, Lin Sen will let him think carefully, At least it has to be investigated first, but for the League Two team, Lin Sen is very sure that Tang Hua's age will not be an obstacle, at least not the main obstacle.
Moreover, from another aspect, Tang Hua's attempt, even if it fails, is not a good thing, because many things, different angles, can exercise different abilities.
"Then ......," Tang Hua said in a daze.
"Yes." Lin Sen smiled and nodded, "This is an opportunity, you should seize it." ”
Seeing Lin Sen's expression that didn't seem to be pretending, Tang Hua was suddenly speechless.
He wanted to ask why Lin Sen didn't keep him, why he didn't plan to sign with the other party for a few years, or whether it meant that he was out of the team...... But, he just can't say it.
Without Lin Sen, there would be no Manchester City today, these are the words of many media compliments on Lin Sen, but for Tang Hua, without Lin Sen, there would be no Tang Hua today, this is not a compliment. If it weren't for the chance encounter with Lin Sen, if Lin Sen hadn't left him any phone number at that time, there would have been too many ifs, Tang Hua might be today, but an office worker in China who can only run for his livelihood.
At this time, Lin Sen stood up, reached out and patted Tang Hua's shoulder, and did not encourage the other party to do a good job, but glanced at the ring on the ring finger of the other party's left hand, and changed the topic with a smile.
