Chapter 37: The Team
"Is it Mr. President's TiyΓ¬? Or is it Resino's? β
In fact, less than three seconds after Cerezo's mention was raised, Lin Sen had an answer, but he didn't answer right away, but asked a little curiously.
"Common mentions." Cerezo laughed.
Old fox.
Lin Sen said a word in his heart. Common mention yì? That's a typical business-like answer. He said that he was a joint mentioner, but he believed that this mention was from Cerezo, for the simple reason that he had only heard that the head coach had recommended a deputy to the chairman, and had not heard that the chairman needed to find a deputy for the new head coach, let alone that he needed to go out himself. And, Linson is pretty sure that Recino won't like to be his assistant coach himself.
"Little Ciel will say yes?" Lin Sen threw out another question.
"Atletico Madrid is not his alone." Cerezo took another sip of wine and replied lightly, "Your reply?" Or rather, do you need to think about it? It doesn't matter, the reason why I sue you now is because of this. You can think about it. β
"No, I don't." Lin Sen picked up the wine glass, shook it slightly, and said.
Lin Sen's answer is NO.
Of course no, definitely no, there is no second possibility.
Almost everyone thinks that the head coach position of Linsen was given by Cerezo, and even Linsen himself thinks so, but in fact, the contract requires two people to sign. Cerezo wants to give, and Lin Sen is willing to take it. How much temptation a temporary coach can pose to Lin Sen, only Lin Sen himself knows best. Eyes are Lin Sen's most tangible plug-in, but Lin Sen's biggest plug-in is actually that memory.
Ten years is neither too long nor too short. Linson could certainly use the decade to make himself a godfather figure at a certain club, but then what? Then Lin Sen still has to find his own way forward, don't think that the godfather of ten years can last forever, Spain's two "Western Super League" teams told everyone that having the best players in the world does not necessarily mean having the best team in the world. Moreover, the most critical reason is that Lin Sen himself is not sure that he has enough patience to wait for the growth of young people.
That's why he said YES to Cerezo's interim manager in the first place, and why he says no to Cerezo now. Say yes because this team has enough prestige to allow him to make the most of his cheating in a short period of time. And he said no, because once he agreed to become an assistant coach, it means that he will waste at least a year of his time on the deadline.
"Don't really think about it?" Cerezo frowned, as if he was not willing to give up, "This should be a better learning opportunity for you, and besides, you don't have a chance to become the manager of this team again in the future, I can assure you that you will be the strongest contender for the next Atletico managership." β
"I thank you for your attention. Mr. President. Lin Sen smiled, "However, from the moment I signed the short-term contract you provided, I didn't intend to be anyone's deputy." β
ββ¦β¦ In that case, then I can only wish you good luck. Hearing Lin Sen's words, Cerezo finally realized that Lin Sen had made up his mind, nodded, and then raised his glass generously.
Lin Sen also raised his glass and touched Cerezo lightly, and drank it all. Then, he stood up and said: "Atletico is a great team, Mr. President, and one day you will be proud of it." β
After speaking, Lin Sen politely bowed his way and said goodbye, and then walked out of the office of the president of Atletico Madrid without looking back.
Walking out of Cerezo's office, Lin Sen was relaxed.
The head coach's path started with walking into this office, and now, he is stepping out of this office as an inflection point. Maradona is right, how can football be fun as a team doctor, just two months, Lin Sen has been bored with his original profession for several years, this road is destined to go on. Even if you are empty-handed, even if the road ahead is confused.
However, Lin Sen is sure of one thing, and that is that from the moment Cerezo signed Recino's contract, he was destined to regret it one day.
In Linson's notebook, there is a list drawn up when he first took over at Atletico. Lin Sen is really grateful for the game Football Manager, which allows Lin Sen to always improve his roster easily. Now, on the list, which is added or removed from time to time, several names will soon be added: Koke, David De Gea and a name that may not be familiar to many Atletico fans so far: Diego Costa.
For Cerezo's last sentence, Lin Sen actually had the second half of the sentence: One day, a certain team will be proud of me. It's a shame this team isn't Atletico.
No matter how light the cruel words are, the cruel words that can be realized become curses.
For Atletico Madrid, Linsen is obviously not to the point where he needs to curse, in the end, this is a club that has been kind to him. Linson believes that Mourinho must have been grateful to the club when he left Barcelona, even if he was dissatisfied with the hierarchy. As for the future, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Of course, to put it nicely, this is a good gathering and a good dispersion. To be realistic, Lin Sen did not deny it at all that this was just for the convenience of digging corners in the future.
Even the game knows how to do business, and it pays attention to favorability.
Lin Sen returned to his office in such a graceful manner, and then, unexpectedly, he saw Dina with her slender legs crossed.
Since returning to his residence, Lin Sen has had a lot less communication with Dina, and even if there is communication, it is more of a communication at work, such as Lin Sen's jokes about being a team doctor, and there are even fewer jokes, not that the relationship between the two is estranged, but that work and time do not allow it.
"Went to see Cerezo?" Seeing Lin Sen come in, Dina didn't even lift her buttocks, and still twisted the swivel chair in a charming way.
"Hmm." Lin Sen had already seen the surprise, responded lightly, and went to fetch water on his own.
"You're still drinking?" As if smelling alcohol, Dina's eyes widened.
"What a fuss. Say goodbye to wine, do you want to drink it too? "Lin Sen didn't have a good airway.
"It's not that simple, is it?" Dina finally stopped tossing around the swivel chair, "Just you, the interim acting head coach?" β
"He said I could stay here." Lin Sen took a sip of water and said lightly, "Prepare for me to be an assistant coach." β
"What about you?" Dina put her legs down, and it was only right away that she realized that she was asking this question in vain.
Seeing Dina's appearance, Lin Sen knew that he didn't need to answer, looking at the office, he suddenly smiled, "Speaking of which, this should be the last time I will appear here." β
"What? Do you want to feel it? Dina's eyebrows furrowed, "If you are reluctant, why don't you accept Cerezo's offer." Although the assistant coach is not the head coach, on the other hand, the pressure will be much less, and with this experience, even if he leaves Atletico Madrid in the future, he will not worry about leaving home. When the time comes, maybe I'll be able to mess with you. β
"You better not persuade me."
Lin Sen smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he was a little moved by Dina's last words. Messing with yourself? It's not exactly a joke. With the development of modern football, the profession of head coach is no longer limited to the simple duties of being responsible for training and directing games, and the manager coach of the Premier League is a good example, and the head coach has gradually developed from a person to the form of coaching staff. The most typical example is Mourinho, everyone knows that no matter which team Mourinho goes to, it is impossible for him to be alone, his entire coaching team will follow. These people are nominally hired by the club, but in fact they are only responsible to Mourinho, and unless there is a personal intention, such as Villas-Boas, if Mourinho leaves, they will follow suit.
Building his own coaching team is not so much an unattainable dream for Lin Sen as a luxury that the conditions are not enough.
"I remember you have two years left on your contract with Atletico, right?" Of course, Lin Sen couldn't take Dina's words seriously, in foreign countries, even if they were husband and wife, they wouldn't interfere in each other's careers lightly, let alone just friends.
"A year, to be exact." Dina stretched, "When the contract was signed at that time, a clause was added that both parties had the right to terminate the contract one year in advance. What do you think? Tempted? β
Tempted, of course tempted.
However, at this time, Lin Sen was tempted not only to have the first member of his own coaching team, but also to Dina in front of him, a lazy waist was also stretched so ecstatically, and the original plump and rich breasts were almost multiplied by the lethality under this sultry action. Accidentally, Lin Sen's eyes flashed, and he immediately had a dry mouth, and hurriedly took a sip of water.
It's really going to kill you.
"How about we make a bet?" Suddenly, Lin Sen spoke.
Bet?
Dina looked at Lin Sen with a smile, she knew very well the bets between Lin Sen and the players, although she didn't know how Lin Sen won, but it seemed that Lin Sen was very sure of the bet, of course, this did not hinder Dina's curiosity.
"Tell me about it."
"If, in a year's time, I can secure my place on a certain team, you can come and help me."
"A certain team?" Dina glanced at Lin Sen, "Are you so fooled by me?" The third division is also a certain team. Unless, it's the top five leagues. β
"The top five?" Lin Sen frowned.
"Yes. If you can get a foothold in the top flight before my contract expires, let alone help you, you can be your secretary. Speaking of this, Dina looked at Lin Sen with an ambiguous look, and then added, "Private." β
"Okay! That's it. β
Lin Sen seemed to be waiting for Dina's words, and he immediately said resolutely when he was still frowning, it can be said that he did not hesitate, and then raised his hand to high-five Dina.
Dina subconsciously raised her hand and patted Lin Sen. But as soon as she finished filming, she felt as if she had dug a hole for herself.
It wasn't until she walked out of Lin Sen's office that she thought about why.
When she heard Lin Sen's bet, she subconsciously thought that Lin Sen had to find a top team to coach first, but she didn't expect that in fact, Lin Sen didn't need to go to a top team, he only needed to lead a second division team to be promoted to the first division!
